Chapter 449: The Runaway General
Vice-General's Palace.
When it was time to have dinner, I saw that the deputy general ordered all the slaves to eat together, this treatment was never in the general's palace, and when all the slaves arrived, the deputy general stood up and said: "You all know that the Huns have almost arrived in the city, and it is 30,000 horses, and we only have 2,000 men and horses, and the difference in strength is too great, so if you are willing to leave, you can go to the account office to receive three times the salary and leave here, if you are not willing to leave, I will definitely hold on to the end with you." ”
When the deputy general said this, the servants all scrambled to wipe their tears, and Steward Sun's tears were also rolling in his eyes, but he still endured it.
Looking at the people in the general's mansion, no one spoke, and the deputy general shouted again: "Everyone, let me ask again, is there anyone who wants to leave?"
The servants remained silent. "Well, you deserve to be the servants of my lieutenant general. From now on, you are my soldiers. Come, let's eat together. You must eat more. ”
Amid the sobbing, the slaves finished their meals and went back to rest.
In the middle of the night, Steward Sun got up to go to the toilet and found that the general's room was still lit, thinking that maybe the general was trying to find a way to defend the city, General Sun didn't laugh, Adjutant Liu, Adjutant Liu, I think you are sure of the guilt.
The next day, suddenly, there was a voice: "The general is gone." Woke up Steward Sun, who was sleeping soundly, he immediately got dressed and went to the general's room, only to see that it was very messy, the cabinets were empty, and there were worthless things scattered on the ground. Steward Sun didn't react for a while, he was looking at the light and patting his thigh: "Mom, I'm a general." "It turned out that the general deliberately turned on the lights, but in fact, the people had already run away. Steward Sun immediately asked people to go to the barracks and told Adjutant Liu, Adjutant Liu arrived at the scene, and without saying a word, he went to the city tower with Steward Sun, grabbed a city gate and asked, "Who was on duty last night?"
"Report, it's Xiao Li. ”
"Where is he now?"
"Where else can he be, he must be drinking in Shunfu Building. Did something happen last night?"
The two ran to Shunfu Building before they had time to explain, and saw that Xiao Li was really ordering and drinking. Adjutant Liu didn't speak when he arrived, and first pulled Xiao Li's collar and lifted him up.
"Adjutant Liu, what's wrong?" Xiao Li asked as he looked at Adjutant Liu's irritable appearance.
"I'm here to ask you who left the city last night. ”
"Adjutant Liu, now you need the general's order to go out of the city, either there is a general's order, or the general himself. ”
"You're grandma!" Adjutant Liu yelled at Xiao Li.
"Adjutant Liu, last night the general took a soldier out of the city, he said that he was going out to check the enemy's situation, even if he didn't say it, he said that he wanted to open the city gate, I would open it. Xiao Li quibbled.
Adjutant Liu threw Xiao Li to the ground and snorted. looked at Steward Sun and said, "That soldier must be the general's wife." ”
"Definitely, yes. Steward Sun said.
"Adjutant Liu, what's wrong? Something happened to the general? Oh my God, when the general left, I told him that there are many Huns, and it must be dangerous to go at this time, but he didn't listen. ”
"Hmph, if you really go to the Huns to check the enemy's situation, you will be a man if you die, but you are not ......" Speaking of this, Adjutant Liu arrested Xiao Li again and asked: "After the general left the city, why didn't you report it?"
"Originally, I was going to report it, but the general said that he sneaked out secretly, and he couldn't tell others, if anyone else knew, he would ask me, how dare I say it. ”
Adjutant Liu smiled a few times: "I can't imagine that the deputy general really tried his best to escape." ”
"Run, Adjutant Liu, do you mean the general escaped?" Xiao Li asked as he looked at Adjutant Liu with frightened eyes.
"I tell you, you don't have to say anything about this now, if I knew that anyone else knew, I wanted you to look good. Adjutant Liu did not answer Xiao Li's words, but ordered Xiao Li.
"I see. ”
After speaking, Adjutant Liu immediately went to the barracks with Steward Sun, and immediately gathered all the soldiers, only to see that all the soldiers were talking to each other, Adjutant Liu estimated that the rumor had spread, so he simply said it clearly, and then discussed with them what to do.
Adjutant Liu walked up to the desk, "Soldiers, please be quiet." Just now I received a report from Steward Sun that something had happened in the General's Mansion, and I immediately rushed there and found that the General's valuable things were gone, and then I went to the city gate to ask, and the General went out of the city at night last night, so I want to tell you now that the General has become a deserter, and he ran away, leaving us and the people of the entire Shangjun behind. ”
At this time, the whole military tent was in an uproar, and the sergeants immediately shouted: "The head has run away, and this battle is still a fart." ”
"But what about the people of the entire upper county?"
"Hey, it's really unlucky to have such a general, it's better to work under General Li, that battle is more enjoyable. ”
"Everyone, be quiet. Adjutant Liu immediately said loudly to control the situation, and then continued: "Everyone, the general has already run away, but how can we change our determination to defend Shangjun because he escaped alone, and you can give up the thousands of people in the city? What is there to fear of death, so that you can see your relatives with peace of mind if we die, if we lose the county, and the people in the city are brutally killed by the Huns, then the sins of our life can no longer be washed away. We've been guilty all our lives, don't you?"
After listening to Adjutant Liu's words, all the soldiers said in unison: "Adjutant Liu is right. We swear to follow Adjutant Liu to the death and live and die together. ”
"Okay, everyone, I, Liu, am temporarily acting as a general, everyone listen to my orders, everything is ready, wait for the Huns, and then fight to the death. ”
"Good, good, good!"
Three good finally shouted out the majestic momentum of the Han army, in comparison, how ugly the deputy general is, it is the natural nature of people to be afraid of death, but it is really difficult to pretend to be fearless and determined to be afraid of death, and what is even more difficult is to try to escape, it is really angry with heaven and man.
Let's talk about the lieutenant general, he always thought that his plan was seamless, disguised his wife as a soldier, took her out of the city at night when everyone was resting, and kept the light in his room on, so that no one doubted, and when they found out, he had already run far away, but who knows, as soon as he ran out, he died at the hands of the Huns before he had gone far.
