The rise of the poor

Chapter 2146 Wang Zhi is very disappointed

"Why did the two of them abandon their camp and come here? Could it be that Zhu Ping'an took advantage of the victory to pursue them, and the two of them were defeated and even lost their camp, so they had to flee to the king?!" Xue Tao was overjoyed when he heard that Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa came to pay homage to King Hui. What he thought was that the two of them had suffered another defeat and even lost their place to stay.

Mao Haifeng and his partner lost again! That's great! This time they have lost everything. Even if King Hui likes Mao Haifeng, he can't just sit back and watch him suffer such a defeat without dealing with him. Even if he shielded him, he should be demoted and can't lead a fleet anymore, right? !

If they are not punished even after this, how can we convince the public?! At least, I will not agree to it.

At this moment, Prince Hui couldn't help but frown.

Mao Haifeng and his men just lost a battle. Could it be that, as Old Xue said, they suffered another defeat? !

Otherwise, why would they leave their camp and come to see me at such a critical moment?

Aren’t they afraid that Zhu Ping’an will lead his troops to attack the camp?

To be honest, at this moment, Prince Hui was a little disappointed. He had high expectations for Mao Haifeng and the other two, especially Mao Haifeng.

After his biological son was executed by the imperial court, although he took in many wives and concubines and cultivated a lot of land, none of it bore fruit. He adopted Mao Haifeng as his adopted son, and truly regarded him as the successor to his legacy.

If I still have no children when I die, I will pass on this legacy to Mao Haifeng.

Mao Haifeng has always been very competitive and satisfied with himself, but he did not expect to be disappointed this time.

Is it really as Xue Tao said, that the previous battles were all small ones, and nothing could be seen, but when a big battle came, the shortcomings were exposed? !

If this is the case, then we must keep him by our side and train and cultivate him, otherwise how can we be worthy of this legacy?

When they come, we have to ask them carefully to find out what happened and why we were defeated so quickly and so miserably.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the figures of Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa on horseback appeared in everyone's sight. When they were fifty meters away from Wang Zhi's carriage, the two men dismounted, handed the horses to the accompanying Japanese pirates, and then they walked quickly all the way.

"Greetings to our godfather/king." Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa both knelt on one knee in front of Wang Zhi's carriage to pay their respects.

Wang Zhi ignored them for three full seconds before speaking calmly, "Get up."

There was disappointment and regret in Wang Zhi's words; how could Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa not hear it?

However, the two were not worried because the two pieces of news they brought were enough for them to atone for their sins.

"Haifeng, and Dayou, tell me what happened to you. Your coalition army has 14,500 people, but you couldn't even defeat Zhu Ping'an's 8,000 Zhejiang troops. You were defeated by them, which really ruined our prestige. You didn't even care about the main camp and hurried to pay homage to the king, but Zhu Ping'an led his army to pursue the victory, and you even lost the main camp and had to run for your lives?!"

Xue Tao asked in a sarcastic tone.

"I'm sorry to disappoint Uncle Xue. The camp is still fine and has not been lost." Mao Haifeng flicked his sleeves and retorted to Xue Tao.

"Why did General Xue slander the two of us for no reason?!" Otomo Sadakawa looked at Xue Tao with dissatisfaction.

"Then why are you rushing here? Aren't you seeking the king's protection?" Xue Tao asked.

"We have great news to report to the king." Mao Haifeng puffed out his chest and replied with a proud look on his face.

Huh?! Great news?

Xue Tao almost spit out his mouth when he heard what Mao Haifeng said. He couldn't help but look at Mao Haifeng, then at Otomo Sadakawa, "You have great news to report to the king?! Are you kidding me? You guys have been beaten worse than Zhu Ping'an, and you still have great news to report to the king?!"

He didn't believe a word Mao Haifeng said!

If you have great news to report to the king, it will only be possible if the sun rises in the west!

You were all beaten so badly by Zhu Ping'an, and you just let him beat you like he was beating you, it's unreasonable!

According to the news from the defeated soldiers, your army of more than 14,000 was defeated twice by Zhu Ping'an, and each defeat was more tragic than the last. The words "throwing away armor and weapons" and "completely routed" are both compliments to you!

Even after such a defeat, he still insisted that he had great news to report to the king? !

Face is a good thing, don’t you want it at all?!

Xue Tao really couldn't understand how Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa had the nerve to say such things. He thought he was shameless enough, but now he realized that in front of Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa, he was just a rookie!

"Also, you two are the commander and deputy commander of the vanguard army. You two have left the army to come and pay homage to the king. Who else in the camp has enough prestige to command the army? If Zhu Ping'an leads his army to attack at this time, your camp will be leaderless. Wouldn't it be uprooted by Zhu Ping'an? You just suffered a major defeat at the hands of Zhu Ping'an once, and you didn't learn your lesson?"

Xue Tao couldn't help but continue to criticize.

"Uncle Xue, you can rest assured that Zhu Ping'an will never take the opportunity to attack our temporary camp."

Mao Haifeng said with confidence.

"Hehe, Haifeng, you are so arrogant. You are a defeated general of Zhu Ping'an, how can you control whether Zhu Ping'an attacks the camp? Can Zhu Ping'an listen to you and won't attack if you tell him not to?! War is not a game of house. You treat it like a joke, no wonder you were defeated by Zhu Ping'an. You asked us to rest assured, but how can we rest assured with you like this?" Xue Tao snorted and couldn't help but sneered.

He was a veteran who had followed Wang Zhi in the rebellion against Japan, and was nearly twenty years older than Mao Haifeng. When facing Mao Haifeng, he was certainly qualified to act like an old hand and speak in the tone of an elder.

"Uncle Xue, fighting is not just playing house. Of course I know that. I have fought in just as many battles as you have!"

Mao Haifeng snorted and replied with an unhappy look on his face.

"Okay, what great news do you have to report to me? If you are trying to reduce the punishment by making things mysterious, then you are committing an even greater crime!"

At this time, Wang Zhi spoke. He looked at Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa with an expressionless face and said quietly.

At this time, Wang Zhi was even more disappointed with the two. I had just been defeated by Zhu Ping'an, and now he had some great news to report to me?

"The king is wise."

Xue Tao couldn't help but grin when he heard this. It's a good idea to add an extra layer of guilt. (End of this chapter)
