The Ugly Empress by Yun Guo Shi Fei / 丑娘娘 by 云

Chapter 59, vol 2 Chapter 14: Dead water

Teng Yun made great contributions. Emperor Xue sent people to give them wine and meat rewards, and then sent the Imperial decree to Yue Chen. He said that Emperor Xue would reward the Imperial harem, and Concubine De would soon become a consort so he sent for him to the Imperial capital for congratulation.

Yue Chen thought it was true. He's ready to go back to the capital.

When the general saw that he was leaving, he was too late to be happy, and he was afraid that the emperor would repent. He was expected to go back to the Imperial capital quickly. Otherwise, if he didn't do anything every day, he would know what he wants in the camp.

Teng Yun, taking advantage of Zhang Hong's ill with depression, ordered him to set up camp again, shortened the battle line and deliberately left a gap, waiting for Zhang Hong's recovery.

Zhang Hong was ill for a month, and finally got better. His first thought was revenge. How could such a disgrace not be revenged? He led another general to fight. Qi Zhan and Qi Zi Jie were of the same clan. Zhang Hong has always hated Qi Zi Jie's battle achievements, and finally forced Qi Zi Jie away. Thinking that no one was fighting with him now, he led his life to fight for good things.

Qi Zhan looked at the terrain and found it funny that Xue army is encamped this way. The army was divided in its forces into two piles, left and right, and left a gap in the middle. If he breaks the middle of them, he can break the Xue army's forces separately. Xue army's many forces were not terrible.

Qi Zhan let the army cuss at Teng Yun. It's hard to hear what is being said. Teng Yun and others just said, “Who is willing to lead the army?"

After the previous battle, most of his soldiers were convinced of Teng Yun’s mighty. Now some people scold the commander-in-chief, and they can't hold their breath to fight the other person.

Lang Jing said with a smile, "Zhang Mo can go."

Zhang Mo blushed with embarrassment and said: “I don't know what he did when he joined the army. Zhang Mo's right hand can only carry a pen but not a gun. It's true... There is a real burden."

After hearing this, they thought that Lang Jing deliberately made trouble with the master clerk. The people here wanted to fight with Lang Jing, but only heard Teng Yun saying, “The way to join the army is just because someone wants to."

They don't know why, Teng Yun said with a smile, “Although the master clerk can't fight, he still hopes to participate and make contributions, right?"

Zhang Mo nodded and said, "Naturally, otherwise, I will stay in the military camp, even if it is for writing documents."

Teng Yun said: “Then you can thank the recommendation of joining the army. As long as you fight this time, you don't need to try your best to lead the enemy into the battle in the future. I will join the army leading a team of people and horses to meet the master clerk. I personally take a team of people to cover the back road, and the rest go back to the camp. Then we will wait for the turtle to enter the urn."

Zhang Mo understood immediately and said with a smile, “I see!"

At that time, all the soldiers left and went back to the camp to make a fire and eat enough food to prepare to fight.

Qi Zhan asked the soldiers to prepare for a day's battle. The soldiers who shouted at him lost their strength. It was getting dark, and they were going to retreat. Tomorrow, they called for the battle, and they saw a group of people coming towards this side, headed by Zhang Mo.

Qi Zhan was tired for a day. At this time, he saw people coming. He was furious and rushed to meet the enemy with a big sword.

Qi Zhan is also a strong general. Zhang Mo's right hand is injured, so he does not dare use it hard. He can fight for a few minutes and then he immediately pulls his horse back to escape. The soldiers behind saw Zhang Mo running, and they followed him. Qi Zhan thought that the Xue army was afraid. He asked the soldiers to drum up the Imperial Guards army and beat Zhang Mo as he was retreating.
