Chapter 148: Buying the Army's Heart
Song Jingran nodded, and said, "What you ordered you to do, can you do it?" ”
"The subordinates have mixed all the medicines into the enemy's diet under the orders of the young master, and they don't seem to be anything unusual." The Shadow wondered why it didn't react if it was a drug.
"It's not necessarily the enemy." After Song Jingran glanced at several letters one by one, the corners of his mouth inadvertently outlined a trace of amplitude, which seemed to be joyful and cold.
The shadow was a little confused about Song Jingran's expression, so he reminded curiously and unclearly, "Young Master"
Song Jingran glanced at the shadow, and then handed the letter to the shadow casually.
The shadow was even more curious to know the truth of the road, so he took the letter, and wanted to witness it carefully, but he didn't want to, and a few big words were scribbled on the huge letterhead: "Liangcheng incident, you will return to the city as soon as possible." 'Attached to the seal of the king of Liang; The shadow closed the letter and glanced at Song Jingran, as if waiting for him to say something.
Song Jingran put down the teacup in his hand and said, "At this time, King Liang sent five hundred li and eight hundred li to rush to the customs department, so as to show that the army in the city is not as many as we imagined. ”
"What does the young master mean" The shadow could vaguely guess what Song Jingran was glad about, after all, the size of King Liang's army was directly related to their victory or defeat, even if at this time, the army of the Guan Department would not be able to catch up with the escort.
Song Jingran took the letter in the shadow hand and looked at it in a daze, if there were not many troops in the Liang King City, then Gao Jin's chances of winning would be greater, and it was best to transfer some soldiers and horses from the city to solve the urgent needs of the army outside the city.
"The army in the south has not yet arrived, and now it depends on tomorrow's fight and what the situation in the north is."
"Young master, that medicine" The shadow was still very curious and unclear, which made him a little prepared.
Song Jingran glanced at the shadows, and the corners of his mouth outlined a hint of evil smile.
The shadow seemed to be in a daze for a few seconds, although he was also a man, but for such a smile, he was not only fascinated, but also a little envious, if a woman saw it, it was normal to fall in love.
And he was not curious about Song Jingran's silence, because he knew that the reason why he was silent was because he was confident or prepared.
At dawn the next day, the sky was supposed to be slightly bright, but it was shrouded in a dark cloud, and the gloomy sky seemed to tell everyone's heart, and it seemed to announce the arrival of a war.
Occasionally, officers and soldiers in the barracks got up and went around, perhaps they were disturbed by the officers and soldiers who were haunted, perhaps because of the nature of being soldiers, and their vigilance was relatively strong, so many officers and soldiers got up one after another, and suddenly there was a howl from the outside barracks, and everyone rushed to investigate without knowing it.
Shadow Xu also heard the sound, hurriedly walked out of the tent, grabbed a hurried soldier and asked, "What's going on, where is the sound coming from?" ”
"General Hui, it seems to be from King Liang's military camp."
The shadow let go of the soldier and stood thoughtfully, only to see a soldier hurriedly running over, clasping his fists and saying, "General Bao, the soldiers and horses of the Liangwang military camp have been suffering from unbearable abdominal pain and weakness in the morning. ”
"Go" Shadow Knowing must be the medicine in their diet that works, let's go and see first.
"Slow" saw that Song Jingran walked out of the tent, and he was in the tent and heard their conversation.
The shadow and the two soldiers stopped hearing the sound, and the shadow said, "Young master." The other two officers and soldiers also clasped their fists.
"Let's take a look." Song Jingran said as he walked towards another military camp, he seemed to be waiting for this moment to come.
The shadow and the two of them also hurried up, and when they arrived in the barracks, there were officers and soldiers lying everywhere, those who were in better condition could still howl, and those who were in poor condition could only vent their physical discomfort by murmuring.
Song Jingran didn't care about the officers and soldiers on the ground at all, but went straight to the main tent camp, only to see General Wang, who was in charge, sitting at the table, closing his eyes to mediate his breath;
Hearing the movement, he opened his eyes and angrily rushed towards the shadow, grabbed the skirt of the shadow's clothes, and said angrily, "What did you give us?" ”
Seeing that General Wang was angry, his body was obviously a little unstable, and it was not easy to shake him off for a while, after all, he was the first to take care of the loss, so he took General Wang's hand away and took a step back, not intending to answer his question, because Song Jingran would have full authority to explain everything.
General Wang was even more annoyed, but because of his weakness, he seemed a little unsteady on his feet, and when he thought of being designed, he said angrily, "You are not King Liang's army, who are you?" ”
"It doesn't matter whose army we are, it's important" Song Jingran hooked the corners of his mouth evilly, a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "Whose army will you belong to." ”
"You are the army of Bei Liang, and it is naturally owned by King Liang." General Wang glanced at Song Jingran angrily, and didn't seem to notice his identity, but gasped with displeasure on his face; And he didn't understand the meaning of Song Jingran's words.
"Don't rush to give an answer, General Ben will give you time to think." Song Jingran replaced the evil sneer with indifference, in contrast, people should still choose the expression at this time, although the indifference is terrifying, but it is better than the evil sneer, which makes people completely fascinated, and it is impossible to imagine his thinking; And in the barracks, he naturally has to use the general as a pronoun.
"You" General Wang hesitated for a moment, and when he looked at Song Jingran again, his eyes deepened, and he seemed to realize his identity, "What do you mean by this?" ”
General Wang was thinking in his heart, how could an elite man in the shopping mall get involved in the battlefield, and what was his intention to put his army under house arrest?
"Don't hide it," Song Jingran paused, looked at General Wang, and asked pretending to be uncertain, "General Wang, right?" ”
General Wang glanced at Song Jingran, snorted coldly, and turned to the side in displeasure.
"I won't tell you the truth, it was General Ben who ordered someone to do something in your meal, but don't worry, it's just some soft incense, and there will be no danger to your life in a few days, as long as you are willing to agree to General Ben's conditions, General Ben will let you go."
Although the means are a little inferior, in the strategic field, there is no inferiority, only victory and defeat.
"Hmph. What do you want? You must know that the way of the Lu, secretly plotting to kill the army, is to punish the nine clans. General Wang was very angry, hoping that the king's law could suppress their actions.
"Zhu Jiu clan, someone must dare to give an order." Song Jingran was still expressionless, what he said was a little meaningless, seeing General Wang's unknown appearance, he had no intention of going around in circles here, so he simply told him bluntly, whether it is successful or not is another matter;
So Song Jingran said again, "General Wang is afraid that he still doesn't know what to do, Liangcheng has been surrounded by the Jin prince's army, and it will be taken in the near future, and the king of Liang urgently called you back to the city, but also because there is no chance of winning this war, so the army of the various departments was recalled to escort, we are on the order of the prince of Jin, here to intercept your army back to the city, the prince of Jin said, if you are willing to surrender to his banner, after the war subsides, the prince of Jin will reward you one by one, but if you insist on the banner of the king of Liang, then this is the burial place of your army. ”
General Wang was slightly stunned, this news came a little suddenly, naturally he couldn't believe it, but King Liang suddenly recalled the army, which was also something he had not known in his heart, and he wanted to go back to the city to ask for understanding, but he didn't want to, and he encountered this here.
The other lieutenant general seemed to resist the physical discomfort, and said with an arrogant face, "Joke, Liangcheng has more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses, how can you reckless grass cowards be able to repel it, don't fool us here, if you want to live, quickly take out the antidote, Ben will be able to say a good word to you in front of King Liang, and it is not impossible to leave a whole corpse." ”
As soon as the man's words fell, the shadow casually threw an object at him, only to see the man's 'uh', and he fell to the ground, one second he was still curious about the black spot in front of him, and the next second he was staring, and his eyes were dead, only to see a cone-shaped hidden weapon inserted in his throat.
Everyone present retreated in horror, and General Wang was also terrified, as the main general, it was not good for him to hide, and he was afraid that he would die if he stayed.
Only Song Jingran showed no emotion at all about the shadow's actions, and seemed to be waiting for General Wang's answer.
When General Wang received Song Jingran's cold eyes, he was shocked again, plucked up full courage, and said, "Your one-sided words, why should General Ben believe it." ”
"One-sided words, you can naturally not believe it." Song Jingran handed over a letter and said, "This, you can always believe it." ”
General Wang glanced at Song Jingran inexplicably, took the letter casually, opened it and looked at it, according to the meaning of the letter, it seemed to be as Song Jingran said; But in just a few days, how could Liangcheng suddenly happen so quickly, and at the moment, he had no chance to choose, first save the lives of tens of thousands of people.
So, General Wang said coldly, "As long as you are willing to give the antidote, General Ben can promise you, but General Ben has one condition."
"You don't have the right to negotiate conditions, you can only choose to agree, or not to agree." Song Jingran interrupted him, he was the last thing he wanted to negotiate with people in his life, but he would never force people into a desperate situation, unless the other party was looking for a dead end.
"You" General Wang squeezed out a word from between his teeth, his face was even more angry, and suddenly there was a pain in his abdomen, he thought that he would ask Song Jingran to keep his rebellion secret for the time being, and he didn't want him to veto himself so extremely, and now the victory or defeat is not divided, if he blindly belongs to the Gao Jin banner, if King Liang wins, and learns that he has defected, it must be a big crime to punish the nine clans.
"Don't worry, as long as you submit to the name of our army, you are still the leader of your army, our army will not easily ask you to go into battle, as long as you do our backing, if necessary, go into battle to kill the enemy's spirit, the prince of Jin, will never lose a penny of your credit."
