Chapter 230 Taking Huhang

"You slaughtered a village!"

Zhao Wen said in surprise.

Mai Tiezhang was not happy. He worked hard to kill thirty rebels, but you actually said that I massacred the village.

"Pooh!

"My flaw was discovered at Wucheng Camp. They wanted to kidnap me to Yuezhou. I killed thirty people on the way and then escaped!"

As he spoke, Mai Tiezhang did not hide his pride at all. It was just that because he disrespected Gao Zhizhi, he took a punch from the rebel army, and he is still bruised and swollen to this day.

Zhao Wen didn't believe it at first, but after careful inspection, he found that they were indeed the noses of adult men, and there were no young or old among them, and he was finally convinced.

He got on his horse, stretched out his hand to the wheat iron staff, and said:

"Follow me back to Wuxian County quickly. The head of the family is still waiting."

Mai Tiezhang agreed and held Zhao Wen's hand. The two of them turned over and sat behind Zhao Wen.

This horse was given to Zhao Wen by Cui Che many years ago, and he always cherished it very much.

Walking outside the city of Suzhou, looking at the exhausted horse, Zhao Wenchong said helplessly to Mai Tiezhang:

"My master is right, you should really learn to ride a horse."

Mai Tiezhang suggested:

"I see that your riding skills are pretty good. How about asking Duke Yan to teach me?"

"also!"

Zhao Wen did not refuse and agreed immediately. He knew that Cui Che valued Mai Tiezhang very much, and Mai Tiezhang was also a capable person.

There is no harm in making friends with him.

It was already noon. After asking the officers guarding the city gate, they learned that Cui Che had already gone to the camp outside the city in the morning. Zhao Wen and Mai Tiezhang did not enter the city and went straight to the camp.

The two of them were familiar faces, especially Zhao Wen, who usually followed Cui Che and was inseparable. They all knew that he was Cui Che's personal entourage, so no one stopped him on the way until they reached the commander's tent.

Li Qing, who was standing outside, saw Zhao Wen and Mai Tiezhang and said with a smile:

"You are finally back. The head of the family was worried about your safety and stayed up all night."

Zhao Wen didn't believe this, but Mai Tiezhang was very moved. Of course Zhao Wen would not ruin it, so he asked Li Qing to report it quickly.

There was a discussion going on in the tent, but Li Qing also knew that Mai Tiezhang was there to inquire about the enemy's situation, and he might have important news to report, so he did not dare to delay and hurriedly entered the tent.

Soon, Li Qing opened the curtain and walked out, saying:

"The master of the house lets you two go in."

Logically speaking, he should only call Mai Tiezhang, but Li Qing asked the two of them to go in. Zhao Wen's heart moved, but he didn't say much and walked into the tent side by side with Mai Tiezhang.

In the commander's tent, all the generals gathered. Shi Wansui and Cui Hongdu came to protect his son. Yu Juluo and others were among them. Cui Che's confidant Li Jing, Fang Yanqian and others were also present to listen.

As soon as Mai Tiezhang entered the door, everyone's eyes fell on him. When they saw his burly figure, they all secretly praised: He is indeed a strong man.

The two of them bowed to Cui Che and Yang Guang. Cui Che raised his hand and said:

"No need to be polite. I have been looking forward to you two all night. I thought that something unexpected happened, but fortunately we returned safely. Is there any gain in exploring the enemy camp this time?"

Mai Tiezhang immediately informed everyone of the news he had learned at the Wucheng Camp, as well as Gao Zhizhi's deployment on the south bank of Zhejiang (Qiantang River), including the fact that he had surprised the enemy general because of his appearance and figure, and that after being captured, he killed people and fled.

Nothing was missed either.

Looking at the thirty noses that fell on the ground, there was a burst of exclamation in the handsome tent. Shi Wansui looked at the wheat iron staff with interest, he loved this kind of warrior the most.

Even Yang Guang has greatly changed his opinion of Mai Tiezhang. He used to think that he was a rough man with some ability, but he could only be a scout. But now he saw that he could kill thirty people in a row after being captured. Such bravery

, with a little training, he will become a fierce warrior, worthy of being attracted by himself.

Cui Che sighed:

"You put yourself in danger, went through life and death to bring me the enemy's information, and killed thirty enemies. I will not forget your achievements."

As he spoke, he looked at Kong Yingda and ordered:

"Chongyuan (Kong Yingda's nickname is Chongyuan), record for me that Mai Tiezhang and Zhao Wen have made great contributions in the investigation, and then record the thirty levels of beheading for Mai Tiezhang."

"promise!"

Kong Yingda responded and wrote on the spot.

There was a hint of excitement on Mai Tiezhang's green and purple face.

Cui Che did not keep Mai Tiezhang and Zhao Wen for long, and asked them to go back to rest. He also asked Zhao Wen to find a doctor to treat Mai Tiezhang's injuries.

When the two walked out of the handsome tent, Zhao Wen looked at Mai Tiezhang and said apologetically:

"I am only responsible for transporting you. The investigation of the enemy's situation is really your fault. However, the head of the family gave me a share of the credit. Zhao deserves it."

Mai Tiezhang didn't take it to heart at all. He put his arm around Zhao Wen's shoulders and said with a smile:

"You waited for me at the state border for two days and risked your life. You deserve a share of the credit, so why should you feel guilty?

"If you really feel sorry for yourself, just treat me to a drink when you return to the city later."

After saying that, he patted his head and suddenly said:

"What's wrong, you taught me how to read before, and you're going to teach me how to ride a horse in the future. Logically speaking, I should treat you twice, which offsets one. Today, I should be the one to do the favor."

Zhao Wen punched Mai Tiezhang in the chest and said with a smile:

"Why offset it? Today you and I drank three times in a row!"

"Haha! Okay! If you drink three times in a row, you won't come back until you're drunk!"

The two of them laughed and left the camp. They first went to the city to find a doctor to apply some wound medicine, and then went to find a restaurant.

At the same time, intelligence from the three states of Hu, Hang, and Yue was obtained, and everyone in the commander's tent was also discussing what to do.

Li Jing analyzed:

"Since Gao Ni has set up defenses on the south bank of Zhejiang, he has no intention of holding on to Lake and Hang. The two states can be easily captured."

Cui Che nodded when he heard this, and everyone agreed.

Shi Wansui snorted coldly:

"You don't have to say that."

He really looked down upon Li Jing, thinking that Li Jing was young and held a humble official position.

If Cui Che hadn't been a nepotist, a sixth-grade driving officer, Wailang, would never have been in charge of military law, and Li Jing would not have had a voice in military discussions.

Li Jing just glanced at Shi Wansui and did not argue with him. This guy had eyes above his head and was arrogant. Before crossing the river, even Cui Che was not convinced, let alone himself.

A little discordant sound did not disturb the discussion. Cui Che said in deep thought:

"The difficulty of this battle is to break through the Zhejiang defense line. As for Hu and Hangzhou, as the pharmacist said, it is not difficult to obtain them."

With that said, Cui Che decided:

"Our army will go south tomorrow to seize the land of Hu and Hang, and then wait and see along the river to find any flaws!"

All the generals agreed one after another.

The next day, in the early morning, excluding Chang and the 10,000 soldiers from Suzhou and Suzhou, Cui Che led 90,000 soldiers out of Suzhou and went straight to Wucheng County, which was under the control of Huzhou Prefecture.

Knowing that he was outmatched, Huzhou garrison Li Leng led his troops to retreat south and crossed Zhejiang together with Hangzhou garrison Yang Baoying.

Cui Che defeated Wucheng, Yuhang, Guangfuhu, and Hangzhou in one day. While sending envoys to report the victory to Daxing, he also led his generals to visit Zhejiang in person to view the rebels on the south bank.
