Chapter 15: Find a Dead Man
By the time the turmoil in the city had completely subsided, the sky was gradually brightening.
Next, Lu Bolin gave Xiao Yuan another task, asking him to release the Central Plains slaves who had been imprisoned by the ghost army.
This errand is not very difficult, and after receiving the order, Xiao Yuan immediately led a group of soldiers to go to various dungeons in the city.
Before the ghost army broke through Moon City, the ghost clan invaded and arrested most of the young men and women in the city, and many of them, especially young women, were collectively imprisoned.
When Xiao Yuan found here, the dungeon was full of girls huddled in the corner, trembling.
Among them, there are rich daughters and ordinary women, all of them are disheveled, and their eyes reveal fear.
There are so many young women, many of them are unclothed, and their snow-white skin is exposed, seeing this scene, some soldiers subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and said to Xiao Yuan: "General......"
Now Xiao Yuan, but a serious general, is only a lower rank, and the eyes of the soldier, how can Xiao Yuan not understand, he was just about to scold the soldiers, but Peng Shuang, who was traveling with him, was already furious and said: "What do you want to do!" These women are our compatriots! ”
"Yes!" When the soldier heard this, he immediately lowered his head.
"Let go." Xiao Yuan ordered directly.
With his order, the doors of the cells were opened by the soldiers, and after releasing these imprisoned compatriots, Peng Shuang also followed Xiao Yuan, and couldn't help but say:
"The ghost army is really hateful, invade my Central Plains, slaughter my compatriots, look at those women, how they should live in the future."
"The demon army is a foreign race, destroying human nature, I have been here before, and I know their evil deeds better than you." Xiao Yuan said.
Peng Shuang couldn't help but sigh: "Although Yuecheng has been recovered, the main force of the ghost army has not been destroyed, and it will not retreat for a day, and the Central Plains will be restless for a day." ”
As he spoke, he added: "I don't know what Lu Shuai plans next." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I think that Liucheng is the most dangerous now. ”
"Liucheng?" Peng Shuang asked.
"That's right." Xiao Yuan explained: "For the ghost army, if they want to advance into the Central Plains, they must have a supply line, and now, Yuecheng has been recovered, they must occupy a city before they can use it as a springboard to invade again, if I am the commander of the ghost army, I will definitely not attack Yuecheng again, but will choose Liucheng, because at this time, Liucheng has no troops." ”
After hearing this, Peng Shuang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "That's ......"
Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly: "I know what you mean, but both of us are low-level generals, even if the Chinese army is a big tent, we can't get in, and no one will listen to us." ”
He thought that the main force of the ghost army would turn to attack Liucheng, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, Lu Bolin was also discussing this matter with his subordinate generals.
Inside the Moon City Council Hall.
On the wall behind the handsome case, there is a military map, and in the hall, a group of partial generals gathered, and after looking around, Lu Bolin also drew the saber at his waist, and pointed sideways at the map behind him:
"Everyone, please see, this is Yuecheng, and here, is Liucheng, these two places are my Central Plains border fortresses, and for the ghost army, they can also be used as a supply line for their rear."
As he spoke, he said: "And Ben Shuai has been fighting with the ghost army for so long, based on past experience, I expect that the ghost army will abandon Moon City this time and attack Liucheng instead." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, some generals below were about to clench their fists and say something, but Lu Bolin interrupted him with a wave of his hand and continued:
"The total strength of our army is 100,000, and the main force of the ghost army should be about the same as us, if we return to defend Liucheng now, we will be completely passive, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the ghost army to attack Liucheng, we will smash Huanglong and attack the rear of the ghost army!"
"What does Lu Shuai mean by giving up Liucheng?" A biased general asked.
"No, what Ben Shuai means is that a general can be sent to garrison Liucheng to attract the main force of the enemy army and create opportunities for our army." Lu Bolin said.
Although he said this, the meaning was already very clear, that is, to send one person as cannon fodder to hold in Liucheng, and the important thing is that if the main force of the ghost army really turns to attack Liucheng, then this small army stationed in it will all be killed.
This truth was understood by all the generals, and after he finished speaking, people also looked at each other, and they were silent for a while.
"Who wants to go?" Lu Bolin looked around again.
But the generals were still silent, because if this was the case, it would be clear that they were going to die, and no one spoke easily, and everyone looked at the people next to them, and then lowered their heads silently.
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Lu Bolin frowned, and was just about to say something more, but at this time, a sergeant walked in quickly, and then knelt on one knee, Shi Li said: "Qi Lu Shuai, Xiao Yuan asks to see." ”
Hearing this, Lu Bolin raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could speak, the general hurriedly said:
"Lu Shuai, Xiao Yuan, this person, was a pawn before, but with five hundred soldiers, he broke through Yuecheng, since he is so good at fighting, then in the opinion of the last general, the task of garrisoning Liucheng is better to be handed over to him."
As soon as the general finished speaking, the others also began to echo and said: "Yes, Lu Shuai, it is more suitable for Xiao Yuan to go......
It can be seen that all of these generals in the army are very afraid of death, otherwise, it would not have been possible to lose Yuecheng so easily before.
And after Lu Bolin listened, his heart was also moved.
To tell the truth, Xiao Yuan is just a pawn, not a henchman of Lu Bolin, and he doesn't value Xiao Yuan very much, if he goes to Liucheng and dies, he will die.
Thinking of this, he immediately said to the sergeant: "Call him in." ”
"No!" The sergeant retreated with his fists clenched.
This is really a hurry is better than a coincidence, here is discussing who will go to Liucheng to die, but Xiao Yuan came at this time.
And he is from a low-level background, he has no backers and connections, people don't choose him, who will they choose!
And he didn't come for anything else, mainly to report to Lu Bolin about the release of slaves in the Central Plains.
After a while, Xiao Yuan walked in, and after entering the hall, the atmosphere inside was obviously a little different, and everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on him.
Although he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, Xiao Yuan didn't think much about it, and after saluting Lu Bolin, he reported to him about the matter.
Lu Bolin pretended to listen, and when Xiao Yuan finished reporting, he also nodded and said, "Xiao Yuan, you have done a good job in this matter, but there is another matter, which needs to be entrusted to you." ”
"Please show Lu Shuai." Xiao Yuandao.
The latter groaned for a while, and then got straight to the point: "Now that Liucheng is empty, the commander is afraid of the ghost army, so I need to send you to lead the troops to garrison!" ”
