The Era of Generals

Chapter 414   Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha

Seeing that Chen Ze turned around and left, Ma Hui heaved a sigh of relief.

If the other party insisted on staying, he really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, with Chen Ze's departure, the boulder in Ma Hui's heart finally fell to the ground.

He put his eyes on Huang Shi's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you very much, I will definitely not return home tonight!"

Huang Shi smiled, rode to the same place with Ma Hui, turned around and waved, and said: "Let the army stay where it is, and after I have had a night of drinking with brother Ma, we will go on the road tomorrow!"

These words won Ma Hui's favor even more. Huang Shi, like Chen Ze, is a man of knowledge.

At this time, Ma Hui couldn't even make it clear whether Chen Ze would really return to Ketan City, so whether Huang Shi really came from Anluo Province in response to Mr. Zheng's request for help? sure thing.

So if the 200,000 troops followed Huang Shi to Xilong City, to be honest, Ma Hui would still feel a little nervous.

Huang Shi also seemed to see this point, so he was following Ma Hui to Xilong City, but let the army station there, which can be regarded as eliminating Ma Hui's worries.

The two walked towards Xilong City under the protection of the personal guards brought by Ma Hui.

Along the way, Ma Hui also introduced the current situation to Huang Shi. Of course, the most important thing was to reconfirm the request for help in Huang Shi's hand.

Seeing this, I immediately felt relieved.

Back then when Gu Qingfeng brought back a blood-stained and dilapidated request for help, Ma Hui could tell from that request whether it was Master Zheng's authentic work, let alone the complete copy in Huang Shi's hand. A complete document without even a single wrinkle.

The document in Huang Shi's hand was originally a letter of request sent by Zheng Yuanyun to Anluo Province, and he himself is also a general of Anluo Province. It is really normal to take out the document from him However, so there is no need to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the other party's trust like Gu Qingfeng did.

He should be able to come up with a request for help.

After checking again, Ma Hui finally felt relieved, and took Huang Shi to his temporary tent on the other side of Xilong City. While drinking, he recalled the times when the two fought side by side.

Huang Shi didn't seem to be in a hurry to help, so he talked with Ma Hui until...

"General, there are our scouts on the other side of the river requesting a call!"

Outside the tent, a soldier suddenly came to deliver a message.

Ma Hui was slightly surprised when he heard this. He has been here in Xilong City for almost a month, and he has never encountered his own troops. He even thought that Mr. Zheng might have forgotten him here, or that the old Brother Zhang Hua who came to deliver the letter caught up with the main force. Mr. Zheng knew that he was in Xilong City, but did not give him any further instructions for the time being.

At this time, when he heard it, someone finally came to him, and in a hurry to accuse Huang Shi first, he ran out in a hurry.

But Huang Shi, who had been only drinking for company all this time, his eyes lit up at this moment, remembering what Chen Ze had explained to him, he knew who the person was and what questions he would ask, so he followed Ma Hui closely at the moment A big tent came out behind him.

Although the moat bridge has been rebuilt, it has just been built and is not yet stable, so Ma Hui ordered people to still block the new bridge, and there is no traffic capacity for the time being.

The two sides can only conduct dialogue across the river.

As soon as he got out of the account, he followed the messenger soldier and walked quickly to the river. Sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers waiting on the other side of the river. One of the generals in the two million troops in the Special Administrative Region.

Immediately shouted: "General Mo, what orders does Mr. Zheng have for you to come here?"

"General Ma, why is it you?"

The general surnamed Mo on the opposite side saw that the person who came out to answer the question was Ma Hui, and his face was even more surprised than him. Just as he was about to ask another question, Huang Shi walked up to Ma Hui on the other side and answered the question. mouth:

"General Mo, right? Huang Shi, I came from Anluo Province after being recruited by Mr. Zheng. I wonder where Mr. Zheng is right now?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, he saw that the person standing next to Ma Hui was Huang Shi.

Immediately he was overjoyed and said: "Is it General Huang Shi from Anluo Province? We met once when we were in Bo'an City!"

Huang Shi smiled and said: "It's exactly, General Mo, this time I was recruited by Mr. Zheng, I don't know where to go for support?"

When the two of them talked, Ma Hui's mouth opened, but he didn't speak with interest.

Huang Shi used to be his boss, and now his position is still higher than him, and the other party also has a request for help. Although the number of troops is not as large as his own, he came to Nantes Province only after being recruited by Mr. Zheng.

More importantly, not to mention the incompleteness of his document, it was originally in conflict with his previous order. At this moment, Huang Shi was willing to respond, but he was happy to hide behind.

I heard General Namo from the opposite side say: "To tell the truth, General Huang, the last general came to Xilong City this time because Mr. Zheng believed in the sound of arrows in the front line, and ordered the late general to come here to check the situation of the reinforcements. General Huang, this is really great!"

Because of Huang Shi's appearance, his doubts about Ma Hui's presence here suddenly eased a lot. Ma Hui was just leading the way for Huang Shi, and the soldiers on the other side should not be Ma Hui's subordinates, but Huang Shi. Bring reinforcements.

Thinking of this, he shouted again: "I wonder how many troops General Huang has here?"

Hearing this, Huang Shi felt happy, this General Mo is not bad, very good, he asked questions so well.

He glanced at Ma Hui. When the two of them were drinking in the tent just now, Ma Hui had already mentioned to him the anguish of bringing 500,000 troops here to repair bridges and roads. It will arouse Ma Hui's suspicion.

Furthermore, his own 200,000 troops are not here, and General Mo's question is: how many troops are here.

So of course he can answer truthfully.

"General Mo, we have 500,000 troops here, but we are still speeding up the restoration of traffic here, and we can cross the river to support in a few days."

As he spoke, he asked again in a low voice: "According to this progress, it should be fast, right?"

It was Ma Hui who asked this question.

Ma Hui nodded quickly, and didn't mind that Huang Shi answered the progress questions for him, "Yes, in another three to five days, the bridge is almost done, and the boats are probably enough. Provide half a million yuan." ...No, it is not a big problem for 700,000 troops to cross the river."

700,000, including Huang Shi's manpower.

Huang Shi nodded and looked towards the opposite side, "I wonder if General Mo has any instructions to bring Mr. Zheng?"

"this……"

General Mo said: "General Huang, please wait a moment, the last general will go to ask for instructions!"
