Xun You looked at Meng Dan with a resentful look. His eyes were filled with shame and anger. He could feel the smile in Meng Dan's eyes. Thinking of what he had experienced last night, Xun You felt like he had nothing left to live for!
He did not expect Meng Dan to send him two women who were not of the same race. Xun You was very angry because of this matter, so he naturally ignored it!
Moreover, he was deeply influenced by Confucianism. Xun You believed that he was a gentleman and would not do such a thing as rape!
Of course, perhaps more importantly, he had mysophobia!
After all, in this era, the Jin nationality was unprecedentedly strong. Those foreigners were all dirty in the eyes of the Jin Dynasty's gentlemen!
Xun You couldn't stand the fact that he had fused with two women who didn't belong to the Xun Clan. This was a blasphemy to the glory of the Xun Clan!
Only the sons of Jin, who lived with life and death every day, like the Xixi Army, would not care about this!
Therefore, even though Xun You had asked the two women to leave, he didn't expect to hear them cry. If they couldn't stay, they would be executed!
At this moment, Xun You's old illness of being a gentleman and righteous acted up again. Although he looked down on these outsiders, he could not watch helplessly as two weak women were killed in front of him!
He knew that he couldn't give orders to the Xixi Army. He didn't have enough prestige as an army supervisor, and many people looked down on him. This defense headquarters only listened to Meng Dan's orders!
In his soft-heartedness, he let the two women stay in his tent for a night!
And he had been Liu Xiahui for the entire night, causing him to feel listless!
Therefore, he looked at Mondain with resentment."Senior Guard Meng, this is not the behavior of a gentleman!”
He thought that Meng Dan was using women to corrupt him and make him work together with him, but he would tell Meng Dan that it was impossible!
The will of a gentleman would not be tempted by beauty!
"Xun Lingjun, have you heard that a gentleman deceives others?”Meng Dan said indifferently. He didn't care about Xun You's complaints and directly rode forward!
The army advanced even faster!
Their target was Gao Ping, where the rebel army had stored a large amount of rations. Once Gao Ping was lost, the rebel army's morale would definitely be shaken!
The entire Western Expedition Army was enough to surround them!
The bluestone bank was located north of the Jing River in An Ding County!
Ever since the Western Expedition Army had moved out and lifted the siege of Chencang, they had launched a decisive battle with the rebel army. After several victories, the rebel army had been forced to the bluestone shore! Relying on the Jingshui River to fight against the Western Expedition Army!
At this point, the battle became even more difficult. The rebel army had nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, twice the number of the western expedition army!
The advantage in numbers made the Western Expedition Army's battle more and more difficult!
Fortunately, the composition of the rebel army was very complicated. There were originally the Western government army, such as Ma Teng, and also the bandit army, such as Bian Zhang and Han Sui. There were even non-clansmen and even breast slaves!
Although the rebel army had gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they were more like a mob. They were completely relying on the bravery of the Xixi people to fight against the Jin army!
However, once their rations were burned and a Jin army appeared behind them, it was uncertain how long they could last!
In the Jin army camp on the bluestone shore, the high-ranking guard Huangfu Song sat at the head of the table, followed by the former high-ranking guard Dong Zhuo. The two of them each led 30,000 troops!
However, under normal circumstances, Huangfu Song's opinion was the main one. He was also the commander of the Western Expedition Army!
Not only was his official position higher, but his prestige was also higher. The HuangFu family was a famous general in the Jin Country and had a great influence in the army!
Moreover, Huangfu Song was Dong Zhuo's old superior. When the Yellow Turban rebellion was put down, Dong Zhuo was working for Huangfu Song!
However, Dong Zhuo could never be judged by common sense. The truth was that the relationship between the two of them was not too good!
It wasn't just a matter of choosing sides in the Imperial Court. There was no room for two tigers on the same mountain. Dong Zhuo wanted to replace Huangfu Song, but Huangfu Song was doing his best to suppress Dong Zhuo!
The internal strife between the two forces was ongoing all the time. However, due to the current strong pressure from the rebel army, their conflict had not escalated to the surface!
This time, Meng Dan had led his army to launch a surprise attack because of the two's game. Meng Dan was an important general under Dong Zhuo, and he controlled an elite army of ten thousand!
Going deep behind the enemy and attacking the grain camp, if they were not careful, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. It could be said to be filled with danger. Even if they succeeded, they would suffer heavy losses!
This was practically Huangfu Song openly suppressing Dong Zhuo. After all, military orders could not be disobeyed. Huangfu Song was the commander of the Western Expedition Army!
"The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the flood season is coming. After a while, the water of the Jing River will surge. At that time, it will be impossible for us to cross the river and wipe out the rebel army!”
Huangfu Song sat on the commander's seat with a worried expression. He looked at the map on the wall and his voice was a little low!
This time, the rebel army had gathered more than a hundred thousand troops and had fought all the way to Chencang. This had frightened the elders of the Imperial Court. They had issued orders one after another to get Huangfu Song to wipe out the rebel army as soon as possible!
Huangfu Song was also under a lot of pressure!
"Former high-ranking guard. It's been three days, and there's still no news of Mondain?”Huangfu Song asked in a low voice, his gaze like a sharp sword staring straight at Dong Zhuo!
Although he wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Dong Zhuo's strength, he still hoped that Meng Dan would succeed!
This was related to the success or failure of this western expedition, and whether the hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers could be wiped out!
Dong Zhuo was a middle-aged Jin Zi with a strong back and a stocky waist. Coupled with the fact that he had been exposed to the wind and sun in the army all day, his face was somewhat dark!
Sitting there, he emitted a terrifying aura. Other than Huangfu Song, ordinary people did not dare to look him in the eye!
"Marshal, don't worry! It's only been three days. I believe that Meng Dan won't let the marshal down. He will definitely succeed in his surprise attack on Gao Ping!”
Dong Zhuo stood up and clasped his hands at Huangfu Song. His voice was somewhat gloomy, but his gaze was calm. The muscles on his face twitched, making him appear somewhat ferocious!
Dong Zhuo was a Xixi despotic and had a good relationship with the Qiang people. His body was covered in the habits of a military ruffian. This was also something that the Confucian general Huangfu Song disliked!
If it wasn't for the fact that Dong Zhuo's Western Expedition Army was strong in combat, and that Dong Zhuo had made friends with many ministers in the court, the position of Deputy Commander of the Western Expedition Army really wouldn't have fallen on his head!
Huangfu Song would strongly oppose it, because he could see that Dong Zhuo this person was absolutely not the kind of person who would behave himself!
"That's for the best. Senior Guard Meng Dan's actions are related to the success or failure of my western expedition. I also believe that Senior Guard Meng will not disappoint the Imperial Court!”Huangfu Song said calmly.
Immediately after, he changed his tone and said,"Recently, many people have complained to me that the Xixi Army soldiers under the former high-level guard are very restless!”
"Military discipline is corrupt. Someone actually robbed the people's wealth and raped women. Everywhere he passed, the people were in dire straits and it was chaotic. What do you have to say to the former high-level guards?”
Huangfu Song was making things difficult for Dong Zhuo!
