The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Marching all the way is of course very boring. There are no people along the way, the vegetation is dry, the wind is howling, and the loess is flying.

The time has come to late October, late autumn is over, and winter is about to enter.

At this time, one should recuperate and recuperate, and it is most inappropriate to fight.

But because of the special situation, all countries have been involved...

Wang Kang's army has been rested and replenished in Huaiyin, and they have all put on cotton clothes, which is better.

And Chen Tang was even worse.

Now that you have decided to return to the defense, you can't procrastinate, the soldiers are quick, and the daylilies are cold when you return late.

Therefore, they have to march in a hurry.

Since the start of the war, there has never been a rest, and there is a shortage of food and grass.

After finally capturing Xuanhua, we can rest and start again.

Xuanhua is just a small city.

Even if it is completely harvested, it will not be able to meet the military needs of the [-] troops.

The north wind howled, and more than half of the soldiers were wearing single clothes.

And the grain and grass must also be planned for use.

There is no doubt that the Vietnam Army is very difficult...

In the dark night, in an open area, the Vietnamese army camped here.

In the camp, clusters of bonfires were lit, and soldiers sat around with numb faces.

Chen Tang walked among them, and he was patrolling.

General Han Jian followed him and said, "Commander, should we slow down a little bit? The soldiers haven't had a good rest for a long time, their strength is exhausted, and their morale is low. If things go on like this, even if they go back, they won't have much fighting power."

"Do you think I don't know?"

Chen Tang said coldly: "Is there any way? Wang Kang is closer than us, if he returns later, Yuanlu County will lose, what should we do?"

"There are still thousands of troops left behind in Yuanlu County, and they can resist for a while."

"I can't resist."

Chen Tang sighed lowly: "I brought out all the elites, and those who stay behind are just old and weak!"

"How about I bring Wanqi back quickly, and you take the main force to follow slowly?"

"Indivisible!"

Chen Tang refused again.

"Wang Kang is full of tricks. Maybe he will set up an ambush somewhere, and the division of troops will ruin our military advantage."

"But?"

"Nothing but!"

Chen Tang waved his hand and said: "Pass the order down, start cooking at the time of the ugly tomorrow, and set off at Yin's time!"

"Yes!"

Han Jian replied helplessly.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good."

At this moment, a general ran over.

"what happened?"

"During the night patrol, I found that several camps were empty. After careful investigation, they all became deserters and disappeared!"

"How many?"

"78 people!"

"78 people?"

Chen Tang was startled, and asked angrily, "What are you eating, so many people escaped, and you couldn't find it?"

"It's dark at night, who would have thought that there would be deserters!"

"Yes!"

"Who would have thought that there would be deserters under my command, Chen Tang!"

His voice rose gradually, startling everyone.

"Pass the order down, and if you find a deserter, kill Wu's amnesty directly!"

"You must be handsome!"

Han Jian hurriedly said: "The morale of the army is sluggish. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be rebellion. We should focus on appeasement."

"Do you think I don't understand?"

Chen Tang said coldly: "But now how can I have so much time to appease?"

"Execute it, if you persist, we will go back..."

The howling of the north wind made the camp of the Vietnamese army even more desolate, but they didn't notice that there were a few figures not far away, watching everything in the dark...

These few people were left behind by Wang Kang.

When he brought out the city people from Feng'an City, there was nowhere to resettle them, so he set up bases along the way to resettle these people.

These points are interconnected and play a huge role as Wang Kang's eyes and ears.

In addition, the mutual transmission from various places can allow Wang Kang to get all the movements of the enemy army at the first time...

"Chen Tang really followed."

Wang Kang looked at the information that had just been urgently sent, and said in a deep voice.

"He took a step and made a mistake."

Shen Yuanchong said: "I have stayed with him for a while, and I know the situation in his army best."
