Chapter 399

There are two reasons for Ma Hui's anxiety.

One is that Zheng Yuanyun got rid of the dilemma and didn't have to let him fight hard.

The second is that Zheng Yuanyun also won Xilong city. In addition to the three main cities in Nantes Province, the most difficult city to attack was captured in one fell swoop. As long as the generals of Qingyang Empire would shout a good word.

As for the third, from Zhang Hua's account, he knew the authenticity of the document.

This document was indeed brought back by Zheng Yuanyun. Knowing this is enough for him.

This means that the order that he led the army to Xilong city was indeed issued by Lord Zheng himself. Then the siege outside Ketan city was removed, which was within Lord Zheng's own expectation. No wonder he.

Ma Hui feels that his is really good to the extreme.

He bet on the authenticity of the documents. After leading the army to Xilong City, he got better news. Even he didn't have to use a soldier. The headache had been solved one by one.

Is there anything better?

He laughed for a while, looked at Zhang Hualin and said with a smile, "then Lord Zheng sent brother Zhang to wait here. Do you want to tell the general that you can lead the soldiers back?"

The accident has been solved, and Zheng Yuanyun has advanced internally without waiting for him, so he has this question.

"That's not true."

However, what Zhang Hualin gave was a shaking of his head.

"Huh?"

Ma Hui smiled and said, "so what does Lord Zheng mean?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Hualin looked around, carefully took two steps forward and whispered, "can general ma take a step to speak?"

Ma Hui saw his solemn expression and dared not slow down: "why not!"

At the moment, they are still in the military array. There are many people nearby. The news reported by Zhang Hua just now is not a secret. Just go fifty miles further and everyone will understand it.

But Lord Zheng asked Zhang Hua to wait here, instead of asking them to go back, there must be a confidential task to be entrusted to him to deal with, which can't be known by anyone.

As soon as he thought about it, he shouted, "come on, general, put up the tent!"

The men nearby were ordered and moved very fast. Soon, they set up a temporary camp on a flat grass next to the army.

Ma Hui waited until the camp was set up. Then he waved to Zhang Hua and said, "brother Zhang, let's go inside and talk in detail?"

"The general is considerate!"

Zhang Hua smiled and made an invitation gesture. When Ma Hui took the lead, he followed each other into the camp.

Wu Peng hesitated and followed in for the sake of insurance.

"General, this is..."

After entering the camp, Zhang Hua was about to speak, when he saw Wu Peng coming, he couldn't help but show hesitation.

"Brother Zhang, don't be careless."

Wu Peng said with a smile, "I have the same brotherhood with the general. He won't hide what he knows from me, and I'll follow in. In case he has any orders or mistakes, I'll remind him."

Ma Hui also said, "yes, there are brother Wu. If the general listens to Lord Zheng's instructions, he can remind him."

Zhang Hua said with a smile, "the two generals misunderstood. I didn't mean that."

Then he looked straight and said, "well, Lord Zheng asked me to stay here because he was sure that General Ma would bring people here, but the two generals also knew that now the crisis in Xilong city has been solved. Lord Zheng has led the army to continue to attack the city and land. The general came this time and threw himself into the air."

"But since you're here, Lord Zheng also has a task to ask General Ma."

As soon as Ma Hui heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "don't dare to do it or not. What does Lord Zheng have to say to the general? Please don't mention it again."

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "if Ma Jiangjun goes further 50 Li, he will see Xilong City, and today's Xilong city is no longer the former Xilong City, but..."

After a pause, he said again: "for the reason of defending our siege, Xilong City cut off the moat bridge and destroyed all the ships. Its purpose is not to let us cross the river easily. In fact, the other party's arrangement really bothered us. There will be a mutiny before, which is why."

"So later, when Xilong city was defeated, Lord Zheng, who was furious, made a decision, that is..."

A stern look crossed his eyes and he said word by word, "kill the city!"

"Slaughtering the city?"

Ma Hui and Wu Peng were shocked at the same time.

"Yes, it's the slaughterhouse!"

Zhang Hua nodded heavily, "not only that, the whole Xilong city was burned by Lord Zheng. It's not too much to say it's ruins at the moment."

"This... This..."

Ma Hui smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "it's no wonder, Lord Zheng, that Xilong city has achieved such a level of urban defense. I'm afraid the loss of our brothers is not small. It's also desirable to be angry from the heart."

"That's right."

Zhang Hua also smiled bitterly and said, "no matter whether it's cruel or not, adult Zheng, who has recovered his reason, suddenly found that things have been done too much."

"Oh?" Ma Hui didn't know why he said, "what do you say?"

Zhang Hua said: "manpower is a manpower problem!"

"After slaughtering the city, there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Xilong city. There are not enough people for Lord Zheng to use."

As soon as he said this, Ma Hui suddenly said, "what brother Zhang said about human hands should be prisoners?"

"I think Lord Zheng means that we should have left some prisoners to restore the traffic in Xilong city after he left. At least we should build the moat bridge first?"

Zhang Hua fuzhang said, "that's what I mean!"

"My lord goes deep into the enemy's array alone and inevitably needs the support of brothers in the rear, but the road is broken in Xilong city. If you want to go around a long way, it will inevitably take too long. Therefore, Lord Zheng means that you should have left enough people to build bridges and roads."

"But the city has been slaughtered. Now if you want to catch strong men to repair the bridge and pave the way, you have become a skillful woman. It is difficult to make bricks without rice. Lord Zheng can't leave his soldiers to repair the bridge. Isn't he weakening his strength?"

"I see!"

Ma Hui nodded solemnly and said, "so what Lord Zheng means is that he wants the general's troops to stay in Xilong city first to build bridges and pave roads?"

Zhang Hua immediately said, "that's right. Although some of them are overqualified, now only general Ma has enough people to use, so please don't be surprised!"

Ma Huilian said, "what is this? Since it was ordered by Lord Zheng, the general naturally did it. I just don't know if brother Zhang has it here..."

He stopped talking.

Zhang Hua understood his concerns and said with a smile, "naturally."

Said he took it out of his arms, touched the token and said, "Lord Zheng is in a hurry. He didn't care to write an oracle, so let me take this order as a witness!"
