Wang Dong and Wang Kai were both deputy generals of Cui Xia, and their ranks were much higher than that of Chen Chang.
He is also close to Cui Xia on weekdays.
But for them, Zhengyang City is just a small and not very prosperous city in Qiandao State and is not worthy of special attention.
But now that the governor is here in person, they have to be serious.
However, I didn't expect that the situation in Zhengyang City has become so serious.
A scout, his face covered in mud, came running over in panic. "General! I don't know what's going on, but our city walls and the moat outside the city have all been destroyed by the enemy's terrifying weapons!"
Wang Dong's heart sank. They had conquered the city so easily?!
Thinking of the soldiers still on the sea, Wang Dong said in a deep voice: "Prepare to withdraw the troops and retreat to the city for defense!"
The county magistrate beside him was the first to bow his head and respond.
If we retreat now, we can still survive and wait for the support of our own soldiers.
If we don't retreat now, the front line will be too long, and by the time the reinforcements arrive, most of the soldiers in the front will have died.
It would be better to return to the vicinity of the city, where we can have the support of arrows from the city walls, and at least wait for reinforcements from the rear.
The other end.
Cui Min listened to the current situation quietly and confirmed that the enemy had retreated to the vicinity of Zhengyang City.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, a smile plastered on his face, and he couldn't help but clap his hands: "Excellent! In that case, we will withdraw our troops as well!"
Retreat and let the exhausted soldiers have a good rest.
Liang Yan couldn't sit still any longer and stood up: "Let's go out and welcome His Highness."
Cui Min nodded and asked Sui Ruoxu, "Should Xuanxiao go out and wait for His Highness?"
Sui Ruoxu shook his head, glanced weakly at the stretcher he was lying on, and said, "Rucheng also saw it. My body..."
Cui Min nodded, did not force him, turned around and left the tent with Liang Yan.
His Highness would not care whether Sui Ruoxu, a patient, came out to greet him or not, nor would His Highness care whether these two counselors came out to greet him or not.
But they still had to come. His Highness was working so hard on the front line, and the two counselors were worried. What if something happened?
It is safest to wait at the door in advance.
Cui Min stood outside the tent where there was a slight cool breeze and took a deep breath of fresh air.
In the distance, the sound of armor colliding could be heard while walking. It was His Highness!
His Highness had become a bloody man, with his exposed cheeks covered with scarlet bloodstains.
Not to mention those hands. The gun barrel in their hands looked as if it was glued to Your Highness's wrist.
There was also a spear, and the red tassel on the spear head looked wet with hot blood.
The entire gun looked like it had just been fished out of blood, not to mention His Highness himself.
Tong Xin and Xiang Yang were in the same serious condition as His Highness.
The rest of the people were not very clean either. Except for Yang Guan, almost all of them had blood on their bodies.
A group of people walked over, their bodies filled with bloody murderous aura, and the suffocating smell of blood hung thickly in the air around them.
"Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" Cui Min and Liang Yan said in unison.
"Min miscalculated..." "Yan didn't expect it..." They had just said half of their words when Ji Wan raised his hand to stop them.
"Don't underestimate yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. If someone plots against us, we can just fight back."
As soon as Ji Wan raised her hand, the scent from her body instantly drifted into Liang Yan's nose.
The strong smell of blood made Liang Yan, who was already in poor health, stare blankly and almost vomit in front of Ji Wan.
However, Liang Yan would not be so stupid as to spit it out without caring about His Highness's face when Ji Wan just came down from the battlefield and returned to the camp.
He just looked a little pale and followed everyone into the tent.
As soon as Ji Wan sat on the chair, he saw Liang Yan, whose face was pale. His mind raced and he knew what the reason was.
He softened his heart and said, "Xuanniao, go and have some rest. The smell in this room is too strong."
How could there be any good smell on his body after he just came down from the battlefield? Ji Wan could understand Liang Yan's behavior.
He is not in good health, and the battlefield is certainly not as comfortable as home. If he gets sick from exhaustion, it will be a waste of time.
"Don't waste your time, Your Highness, the inkstone is much better now.
You just came down from the battlefield, so you need to rest the most."
Liang Yan shook his head. After a long time, he would get used to the strong fishy smell at the tip of his nose.
Ji Wan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I'll go outside to wash up and take off my armor before coming back.
"Generals, go back and clean up first. There's no rush. We can discuss this later." He then stood up and ran out of the tent.
Because Ji Wan was lame, his footsteps were always deep and shallow when he walked, and the sounds of his footsteps were also light and heavy.
The sound was very distinctive. It was farther away from the camp, and one could faintly hear Yang Guan instructing the soldiers to prepare some water for the generals.
There is no need to bother heating it. The generals are all monks and they can get the water to the right temperature themselves.
The smell of blood and gunpowder residue on Ji Wan made him feel uncomfortable.
But she always felt that it was a bit too much to let so many people wait for her to take a shower, so she swallowed it.
But once she sat there, she regretted not taking a shower first. Fortunately, Liang Yan gave her a reason so that she could clean herself.
Taking advantage of this moment, Yang Guan actually found the time to run to the kitchen in the barracks.
Instruct the cooks to prepare some hot food for the gentlemen.
Sui Ruoxu had been shocked countless times. It turned out that the relationship between the King of Zhenbei and his staff was so good...
He had never seen anyone in the Cui family change their behavior for their staff.
After all, he was considered a family slave in the Cui family.
It's good enough to get a good face, how can there be such easy treatment and... respect.
When Cui Min saw Sui Ruoxu's stunned expression, he understood what kind of person Cui was. No one knew Cui's character better than him.
He was well-versed in human relationships and naturally knew what he should say at this moment to help his Highness and win over this new colleague.
"Xuan Xiao, just get used to it. His Highness treats us as close friends.
We have always been loyal and open-hearted to each other."
Out of the corner of his eye, Cui Min saw Liang Yan, the fox, and instantly looked over, then also started to fool people.
"Yes, Xuanxiao, my lord is different from all the princes in this world. You made the right choice by choosing His Highness."
When Ji Wan took a combat bath and returned to the tent with wet hair.
A bowl of hot meat soup and two pancakes were already placed on the table.
Ji Wan gulped down a bowl of soup, rubbing his warm stomach and sighing comfortably, "This soup is delicious. Gentlemen, please try it."
