"I'm quitting! Catch two people, eat a group of people to eat, why don't they catch, just open their mouths and wait to eat, believe it or not, wait for us to go back, they also let us help them roast and eat! ”

The short man grumbled, his hands on his chest, and leaned right under the big tree where Gongsun Jian was hiding in the canopy.

The tall man smiled, "I said what is the reason, when the time comes, let's eat while roasting, eat all the good ones, and leave bones for them, if you are not happy, this roe deer skin will be picked up for you to keep out the cold." ”

When the roe deer heard that not only would he be eaten, but also that he would be skinned to make clothes, tears gleamed in his eyes, and his huge head shook slightly, as if begging the two to spare his life.

The tall man said "hey", "Look, this beast knows how to endure humiliation, so you can't endure it first?" After trapping the Zhongzhou army to death this time, their good heads will be slaughtered, and when the time comes, we will give you the credit for this target, so that you can be a centurion and raise your eyebrows. ”

The short man only laughed out loud after hearing this, but the next moment, his smile froze on his face, and the tall man suddenly stopped moving, a bowl-sized opening appeared on his neck, and his body movements still maintained a serious appearance of wanting to speak at length, and his entire head was directly cut off by a big knife!

The short man was just about to scream, when suddenly a person jumped down from the top of his head, the man covered his mouth, and with the other hand, he pulled out a big knife and put it on his neck and said in a deep voice: "Dare to speak out, I will kill you!" ”

Gongsun Jian's eyes stared at the short man, the short man nodded in a panic, Gongsun Jian let go of the palm covering his mouth, dragged away the tall man who was pressing on the roe deer with his hands and feet, and said softly: "Hurry up and run for your life." ”

The roe deer's extremely humane front knee bent and then galloped away.

Gongsun Jian looked back at the short man, "I ask, you answer, if you stumble or answer slowly, I will kill you, understand?" ”

The short man nods like a chick pecking rice.

"What is the purpose of your wave of reinforcements, why are you only trapped and not attacked!"

The short man's face was bitter, and he pleaded: "The little ones are just ordinary pawns, and I don't know what the purpose is." ”

Gongsun Jian sneered, covered his mouth again, and slammed his stomach with the handle of the pure iron knife, and the short man suddenly completed the prawn with his waist, his eyes exploded, and he whimpered and shouted in his mouth, and drooled from Gongsun Jian's hand.

Gongsun Jian said fiercely: "I can hear it clearly above, if you are not honest, the next time it will be a blade!" Give me a good talk! ”

The short man took a few deep breaths to relieve his breath, and said weakly: "I said, I said it all......"

At the junction of the cliff and the dense forest, Gongsun Jian walked over with a Xishu pawn wearing red armor, Cao Ying had been waiting here for a long time, he put the pawn down, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you all found out the news?" ”

Cao Ying nodded, "Everyone has gained, and there is still one person who has not returned, wait a while, what is the situation of this person?" ”

Gongsun Jian put down the fainting Xishu pawn, pulled a thick vine from the side and tied it behind the boulder, and said: "The tongue I grabbed also told me a lot of news about the Xishu reinforcements, I was afraid that he would go back to tell the truth, so I brought him over, tied him to one place first, and then left him to fend for himself after we finished fighting with the Xishu reinforcements." ”

"Just kill it."

Gongsun Jian shook his head, "They are all conscripts who enlist in the army, and even some people come to make up money to make money, and their crimes are not to death, listening to this pawn's statement, they join the army and enlist in the army is equivalent to working, and the more time passes, the more silver they give, unlike us, we can only exchange their heads for silver." ”

Cao Ying exhaled, although he felt that Gongsun Jian still had some womanly kindness, but after all, Gongsun Jian was the main general this time, and everything had to follow his ideas.

"I'll talk about what I heard from my tongue first, they originally rushed to Yuzhou City as reinforcements, but on the way they received a news from flying pigeons that Yuzhou City was broken, so their main general changed the original plan, divided the army into four roads, and blocked all the places where the Zhongzhou Army went, we are here to obstruct the reinforcements to delay the main force It seems that it is a superfluous move, I am afraid that there is still a bad battle to be fought on General Yu's side, the situation is not optimistic, what news did you get over there?"

Cao Ying said with a solemn expression: "We don't know about their reinforcement change plan, we checked each other before you came, and the information they probed was about the same, they also wanted to save their strength, they didn't want to attack directly, they wanted to trap us on the cliff, and then they would deal with a team of mentally exhausted remnants of the defeated army, and they would be captured." ”

Gongsun Jian frowned, now the situation is getting worse and worse, I thought that if I opened the Xishu portal, I would be able to triumph all the way, take Mianzhou Jingzhou, and wait for the reward for meritorious deeds, but who knew that the general of this reinforcement army actually set up a small ambush, and it happened that the Zhongzhou army rushed into it again, although the Zhongzhou army now has eighty or ninety thousand soldiers, and it is more than enough to deal with the Xishu reinforcements that are less than half of the number, but this is not a flat terrain, nor is it a siege and defense of the city, but in the deep mountains and old forests of 100,000 mountains, It is the territory of the Xishu rebels, and if you are not careful, you will be designed to be ambushed, and it is very likely that you will not even find out the enemy's location, and your side will already suffer heavy casualties.

Gongsun Jian squatted down and slapped two slaps on the face of the Xishu pawn, the short soldier snorted a few times, opened his eyes slowly, and his expression never knew what was going on, and suddenly the confusion in front of him turned into the horror of the Great Zhou soldiers in front of him, he struggled desperately, but although the vine was not as good as the hemp rope, it was also tenacious, how could he easily break free.

The Xishu pawn looked at Gongsun Jian with pleading eyes, and begged for mercy loudly: "This general, I told you everything I know and don't know, and you also said that you won't embarrass me, why are you here again, I am just a soldier who joined the army for silver, I don't have any room to speak in the army, what are you kidnapping me for, spare me, I will never dare to do things with a clear conscience for silver in the future." ”

Cao Ying sneered, "You also know that you are doing things with a clear conscience, four or five years ago, you were still a citizen of the Great Zhou, but now you have become an accomplice of Xishu, working hard for Lu Ziyu to obstruct the plan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you say that you have a conscience for the silver, but if you say it is big, it will be called collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, how small can this crime be, I think you are not sorry to die." ”

Where has this little pawn seen this battle, he has never been to a private school, and he can't even write his own name, he was so anxious that tears fell, how could he have thought that if he joined the army like a helper, there would be a hat of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country directly on his head, his eyes were miserable, and he looked at Gongsun Jian, "My lord!" My lord! Checkmate! I really don't know, they said that there is silver, and there is a reward for silver after I go home this time, and I was worried that I didn't have any money to marry a wife, so I really didn't know that this was going to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. ”

Gongsun Jian frowned, and he suddenly pondered a little aftertaste, "I'll ask you two more questions, if you can answer them, I'll let you go, General Ben did what he said." ”

When the pawn heard this, there was no surprise but a sad face, "The little one told the general everything he knew, and if you ask me about Xishu again, the little one doesn't know ......."

Cao Ying directly pulled out a folding knife and put it on his neck, "If the general speaks, you will reply, if you come back, you will live, if you can't come back, you will die, where is there so much nonsense!" ”

The pawn's head shrank and swallowed saliva, his heart like ashes. Gongsun Jian opened his mouth and asked, "Most of you came to join the army, are you all for silver?" What did those recruiters say when they joined the army? ”

The pawn breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this problem, he had experienced the process from the civilians of Mianzhou to the soldiers of Xishu, and he was still very familiar with this, "Not to mention all, there are also eighty percent of the soldiers who are for silver, most of the soldiers in the Xishu army are people from Shu, but occasionally mixed with a few barbarians who can't understand the language, these barbarians still have military positions, when they went to join the army, they said in public In order to consolidate the security of the city, and not let the bandits invade the people in the city, there are two taels of silver every month, The longer you do it, the more money you get. At that time, the little one felt that he had the prestige to join the army and the money to take, and he could protect the people in the town and be admired by them, so such a good thing naturally came. ”

Cao Ying rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "Joining the army is all for silver, so how can you talk about defending your family and defending the country, two taels of silver can make you sell your life, and the enemy will give you four taels of silver, can you stab your own family in turn." But I'm also very strange, saying that you people who came for the silver, seeing that you have to work hard, are not the same as what you said when you recruited soldiers, don't you have a trace of suspicion? ”

"Suspicion! Of course, there were suspicions, and some people gathered to make trouble, but the moment they stepped out of Mianzhou, the standard chief came over and said, "Now the arrow is ready to be sent, the brothers and relatives in Yuzhou can't hold on, we want to help the brothers in Yuzhou to fight against the bandits, I know you have a mustard, but we are not in vain, one day after arriving in Yuzhou City, you can receive ten days' wages." ”

"And then you're here?"

Cao Ying is really convinced now, foolish people and foolish people, this group of people is really stupid.

The pawn had a bitter face, if he had known that this was the case, he would definitely have quit, and because he was short, he was bullied by those comrades all day long, if it weren't for the tall man who was cut off by Gongsun Jian's head, he would have to take over the clothes and smelly socks of everyone in his army. Not to mention being angry in the army, if he hadn't been clever in a few skirmishes, he would have died a long time ago, and he really couldn't do this hard-working job.

Gongsun Jian smiled, he now suddenly has a feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the light, these Xishu soldiers have no cohesion at all, they are all for the silver, those martial generals who speak a barbarian language are estimated to be the only remaining descendants of Lu Ziyu, in order to quickly expand the army, he implemented this foolish strategy of joining the army in the name of work.

A group of officers and soldiers of the Zhongzhou Army who worked hard for the righteousness of their family and country faced a group of Xishu miscellaneous troops who were forced to fight hard for silver, and the result was conceivable.

This short pawn looked at Gongsun Jian with gloomy eyes, the young general in front of him who looked much younger than him, the sophistication in his eyes and the heroism between his eyebrows, were beyond his reach, he suddenly had an idea, Da Zhou can cultivate such a young and meaningless general, so the first Shu Emperor of Western Shu is still far from being destroyed.

The pawn pursed his lips, "Will ...... General, are you still satisfied with this answer? ”

Gongsun Jian nodded and said with a smile: "Satisfied, extremely satisfied, it would be better if you could get lost and know how to return, Shu will always be an inseparable part of the Great Zhou, no matter whether the thieves will occupy the Shu land for a year or two years or five years and ten years, as long as the Great Zhou makes a move, it will definitely recover the lost land and return my rivers and mountains." You have to remember that Lu Ziyu is not a person from Shu, he is just a barbarian from Yi, there are millions of people in Shu, how can a barbarian be the emperor? And my Da Zhou has never been a bandit, you should not have been to the Central Plains, where after the restructuring and Zhang Chengxiang proposed the five strategies of Fulong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, eat delicious jade plates, wear brocade hats and mink fur, live with winding paths, and have jujube red horses, what Da Zhou wants is that everyone in the world can be stable, if it is not Lu Ziyu, you Shu can also live a rich and strong life in the Central Plains, understand? ”

The pawn nodded in a daze, what this general said was completely different from what the Shu generals said, and the Shu generals degraded the Central Plains for nothing! He forgot that he was a prisoner for a while, and asked rhetorically: "General, the generals of Xishu all say that the Central Plains is dilapidated, and every household lives by begging, with no food and no clothes, so they are wrong?" ”
