The Era of Generals

Chapter 410 Pretend

"Where is the person?"

Zheng Yuanyun, who was worrying about this question, became a little excited when he heard it, and said, "Bring it here!"

Renben was also nearby, and when Zheng Yuanyun gave an order, someone led a group of soldiers who looked like scouts and rushed to Zheng Yuanyun.

Zheng Yuanyun frowned when he saw it.

This soldier had multiple injuries all over his body, all of which seemed to have been left not long ago, and some of them were even oozing blood, so the injuries were not insignificant.

Immediately asked: "What's the matter with you?"

"My lord!"

The scout knelt on one knee and buried his head deeply, and said weakly: "General Ma sent some young men and others to investigate on the road before, who would have thought that when they returned to the vicinity of Xilong City, they would encounter a small group of enemy troops. Ambush, brethren... heavy casualties!"

Zheng Yuanyun's face was gloomy, he didn't care about what the scouts said, but said: "You raise your head first!"

The man kept his head buried, and he couldn't really see his true face.

The scout didn't hesitate when he heard it, and after saying yes, he slowly raised his head.

Zheng Yuanyun's brows furrowed even deeper.

The head was raised, but the man's face was also smeared with blood. It didn't seem to make much difference whether he looked at it or not.

What's more, he is the commander-in-chief of an army with over a million soldiers, and it is really impossible for him to know every soldier.

Zheng Yuanyun set his eyes on Ma Chong, he sent him out, so he should know him better.

"this……"

Ma Chong was also staring at that face carefully, looking again and again, not sure: "What's your name?"

"General, the younger one's name is Wang Hao. You personally ordered the younger one to bring a group of brothers back to the rear to investigate the situation. Unfortunately, Zhou Bai and Wang Jiuxing have already... died in battle!"

Having said this, Wang Hao buried his head deeply again, obviously grieving the death of his comrades in battle.

"Wang Hao... Zhou Bai..."

Ma Chong chanted these names silently in his heart, trying his best to recall them in his mind.

It is true that the people were sent by him, but Ma Chong is not too familiar with these people.

At that time, he just randomly assigned a group of soldiers from a barracks to act as temporary scouts. I can't remember whether this is Wang Hao or not.

"snort!"

As soon as Zheng Yuanyun saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking in his heart, and immediately snorted dissatisfiedly.

I couldn't help but think of Xiao Du again. If it was him, it was absolutely impossible that even the soldiers under him couldn't figure it out.

"My lord, the general recruited them in the infantry battalion before. Although the general can't remember their appearance clearly, I believe that the soldiers in the barracks should know them well."

"Then hurry up!"

Zheng Yuanyun glared at him, but said in harmony to the scout: "Don't worry too much, it's a big matter, you must figure it out first if you need to figure it out."

The scout hurriedly said: "The villain will save you, please don't worry, my lord!"

The body is crumbling, and it seems that it is very hard to support.

"Come here, bandage him first!"

Zheng Yuanyun winked, and his cronies had already rushed to the military doctor.

Don't talk about the bandaging situation here, just talk about Ma Chong's side.

Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he did not dare to neglect, and returned to the army formation at an extremely fast speed.

But here comes the problem.

After so many battles, the army structure has long been changed, and even the infantry battalion has been constantly reorganized due to repeated battle reductions.

When Ma Chong went back, he couldn't find the barracks he went to, so he hurriedly called many soldiers to inquire.

As a result, the news he got back made him dumbfounded.

Except for the few soldiers in the barracks that were sent out to perform scouting missions, the others had already died in the previous battle.

After asking a lot, Ma Chong even asked the cavalry battalion and the logistics battalion, but no one could answer his question with confidence.

This is...

Ma Chong was helpless.

This is also his own fault. At first Zheng Yuanyun asked him to send someone to investigate the rear, because it was the rear, Ma Chong actually didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the rear was already occupied by their Qingyang Empire, and many soldiers were left behind in various cities for defense, while Nantes Province, judging from the progress along the way, did not have many troops to fight at all.

Otherwise, why have they never encountered any more intense resistance except in Xilong City?

Therefore, Ma Chong was considered careless at that time, and he did not send his cronies to do this, because compared with going back to the rear to investigate, it is obvious that fighting in the front is a place where he can gain more military exploits.

The few people he found randomly at that time, if he was asked to recall them now, how could he still remember them?

But Master Zheng...

This is also why he was helpless. Mr. Zheng believed him at the beginning and let him temporarily take the post of scout chief. Not only did he fail to handle the matter well, but he might make a big mistake. How will he mess around with Mr. Zheng in the future?

After thinking about it, he really didn't have the courage to answer Zheng Yuanyun's truth. In desperation, he had to find a confidant of his own, and said so in his ear, and led him back to Zheng Yuanyun Fate there.

"how's it going?"

Sure enough, Zheng Yuanyun had been waiting for him. After such a long delay, his expression was obviously showing impatience. Seeing Ma Chong's return, he asked directly.

"My lord, I finally found the soldiers who were in the same barracks as Wang Hao!"

Ma Chongqiang cheered up and tried to make himself look righteous.

Then, he pushed his trusted entourage to the front desk, pointed at the scout who was being bandaged and asked, "Take a good look, is it him?"

The follower didn't know if it was true, compared to Ma Chong's self-possessed composure, he was a little bit less interested, he answered yes tremblingly, walked up to the scouts, pretended to look carefully.

It's more appropriate to look at it for a while but don't know how long to reply.

While hesitating, the scout suddenly said with a smile, "Brother Feng, why don't you know my younger brother?"

That person's surname was Feng Mingming, and when he heard that the other party recognized him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Ming has self-knowledge, he is not brave enough to make a name for himself among the enemy, so the only ones who can know him must be those in his own barracks.

Feeling relaxed at the moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Wang, I, Old Feng, really don't recognize you from the way you are tightly bound."

"But your voice is right!"

He turned his head and said to Ma Chong and Zheng Yuanyun: "My lord, this man is indeed a brother from the same barracks as the villain back then, and his name is Wang Hao!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chong and Zheng Yuanyun heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
