Chapter 653 The lord deceived my feelings
Zhou Cang, who ran out of Yumen Pass for more than 20 miles in one breath, finally realized his impulse, so he quickly ordered 30,000 infantry soldiers to stop and form a defensive formation on the spot.
Zhou Cang remembered that there were two senior leaders in his team who had not had the chance to use it, so he asked someone to quickly invite the two leaders, Zheng Ji and Xin Ping, and then humbly asked for advice: "I'll ask two military teachers to teach me what to do next?"
Zheng Ji said angrily: "You left Yumen Pass indiscriminately. How many days can the army's supplies last? The whereabouts of the Taifu are still unknown. If we just acted so recklessly, we would probably be the second Western Expedition Army!"
Xin Ping was kinder and gave Zhou Cang some face when he spoke. He tactfully reminded Zhou Cang: "The foreign countries in the Western Regions are mainly cavalry and came and went quickly. If we do not have supplies and habitats, it will be very dangerous to operate in the Western Regions, but I am afraid that the fate will be even more dangerous than the Canglang Army!"
Zhou Cang was not a stubborn person. After listening to the opinions of the two military advisors, he realized that he had made a mistake of making a rash advance. He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said in a muffled voice: "How can you live now? If you go back, not only will your morale be affected, but you are afraid that there are enemies nearby staring at us!"
While everyone was discussing, they suddenly heard the scouts from the periphery running over hurriedly and shouted loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, a large number of cavalry were found nearby, and the number was probably no less than 50,000!"
When Zhou Cang heard this, he was anxious and shouted: "What? Fifty thousand cavalry! What a thief, he was cruel at the moment, and he fought with them!"
Just as we were about to take action, another messenger ran back in front and shouted: "Captain, a Han general came across from him, calling himself a 'bag', let you go forward and answer!"
"No matter whether it's a damn cloth bag or a sack, I want to see what this Han general came from! Lao Yan and Lao Wen, let's go and meet this guy for a while!" Zhou Cang looked very loyal and fooled Yan Liang and Wen Chou to go with him.
At the critical moment, Zhou Cang is not stupid, he actually knows to bring two gold medal thugs!
Zhou Cang brought Yan Liang and Wen Chou to the front of the formation. Sure enough, he saw a Han general, but he happened to know this person. He was not called "Madai", he was Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai!
"Old Zhou, you are finally here!" Ma Dai greeted Zhou Cang with a smile.
Zhou Cang saw the Han cavalry and Hu cavalry behind Ma Dai, and was unable to understand Ma Dai's current position for a while, so he had to shout loudly: "Brother Ma, we are familiar with each other, but you are surrounded by the army, do you want to fight or what?"
"Brother Zhou, you misunderstood me! It was the lord who called you to General Yan and General Wen to talk to the Central Army camp!" Ma Dai explained to Zhou Cang patiently.
It was okay for Ma Dai not to mention Zhao Xing, but the word "lord" was integrated. Zhou Cang suddenly became angry. He spat fiercely and then cursed: "Bah, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Now you are following the Hu people, you must have no good intentions. You want to trick us into the name of your lord and tie us up so that I will not be fooled by you!"
Just as Zhou Cang was cursing, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice from the camp opposite: "Zhou Cang, get over here immediately! I'm not dead yet!"
When Zhou Cang heard this voice, his face changed immediately. He turned his head and shouted at Yan Liang and Wen Chou: "It's right that it's the lord. Let's go over quickly and see if he has any orders to give!"
Without waiting for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to react, Zhou Cang thrust the back of the horse under his crotch and rushed towards the Hu cavalry camp on the opposite side like a black whirlwind. The soldiers farther behind Zhou Cang did not hear the conversation between Zhao Xing and Zhou Cang, so when they saw Zhou Cang sprinting forward like desperately, they thought that Commander Zhou was insane. There were nearly 50,000 cavalry on the opposite side! Could it be that Commander Zhou Chi You possessed and the overlord was reborn?
Yan Liang and Wen Chou saw Zhou Cang running away desperately, so they had to look at each other, smile bitterly, and then quickly patted the horse and flew away behind them.
When Zhou Cang entered the Huqi camp, he saw his lord Zhao Xing sitting upright in the central army tent writing an approval document. Cai Yan, a female reporter from the Jinbao, was grinding ink for him. Seeing that Zhao Xing was unscathed, Zhou Cang's nose became sore, his eyes turned red, and he said something in his throat, almost shocked Sister Cai so much that he threw away the gold in his hand.
Zhou Cang said: "Lord, you are deceiving others' feelings!"
Zhao Xing glanced at Zhou Cang who was wronged with anger and said, "I didn't even tell you a few wives this time. It's still light to lie to you! Have you just run a few more steps? I have a fat man here to prepare for you. Even the problem of having no wives can be solved this time!"
After appeased Zhou Cang, Yan Liang and Wen Chou entered the tent one after another. After giving Zhao Xing a half-kneeling gift, they naturally flashed to the opposite side of Zhou Cang, as if they were waiting for Zhao Xing to give orders. The two brothers were originally from cavalry generals and were mixed in the infantry team along the way. That was really atrocity. Now seeing Zhao Xing commanding many cavalry, they naturally leaned on it very eagerly.
Zhao Xing saw all this and then ordered: "All the generals obey the order! Now I will grant 30,000 new army Kunlun Army numbers, commander Zhou Cang and military advisor Pang Ji; I will appoint Yan Liang as the right vanguard general in front of Guan Yu, appoint Wen Chou as the left vanguard general, and appoint Xin Ping as the Western Regions Protectorate Office."
Zhou Cang remembered that Guan Yu had seen him off in Gaoping City before leaving, so he couldn't figure out why Guan Yu became the Grand Governor of the West, so he asked, "Lord, isn't Guan the boss in charge of Liang Kingdom? When did he come to the Western Regions?"
Zhao Xing replied: "Governor Guan Da will arrive in the Western Regions soon. In the future, he will be fully dispatched and commanded by the war in the Western Regions. The Western Expedition Army includes a total of 30,000 cavalry of the Western Liang army, 30,000 infantry of the Kunlun army, and 40,000 cavalry of the Yanqi army! If you have the ability to expand your army in the future, you can do not need to ask the Commander of the Wohu and expand your enrollment by yourself."
Zhou Cang was still a little confused. He asked Zhao Xing: "Lord, then what are you doing?"
Zhao Xing thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Of course I continue to cheat people! Now that everything is done here, it's time for me to return to the Central Plains to expand my hand!"
Zhou Cang carefully reminded Zhao Xing: "Now all states are mobilizing reserve troops. I guess many people will come to Yumen Pass. If you see that you are fine..."
Zhao Xing patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this, but hurry up and take the Kunlun Army to Yanqi. It is the main thing to meet with Ma Chao there!"
After meeting Zhou Cang, Yan Liang and Wen Chou outside Yumen Pass, and explained the next action to everyone, Zhao Xing immediately brought five thousand Han cavalry who had stayed in Dunhuang to protect him, and came to Yumen Pass with great pride.
