When Gao Yun learned that the "lack of food and salary" was spread in the army, he was even more furious, and immediately summoned the generals in the army to the central military tent. Some people said whether it was the rebels' demagogic words, which were intended to shake the morale of the army. Gao Yun immediately objected: "Impossible, even if the rebels guess, it will take time to spread rumors, how can it be that all of a sudden, in less than three days, so many soldiers have fled." ”

Zhu Yun said angrily: "In my opinion, there must be a mole." ”

"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and if I find out who is a spy, I will never spare him." Gao Yun said angrily.

Even so, everyone still turned their suspicious eyes to Xiao Renyi from time to time, seeing that Xiao Renyi was flustered, he raised his head and said disdainfully: "What do you think I have done, do you suspect that I can't do it?" I am a supervisor sent by the imperial court, the emperor's most trusted person, I am here to win, what reason is there to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. ”

Zhu Yunyin looked at Xiao Renyi with a smile, "This is not certain, before we find the traitor, we are all suspicious." ”

"You ......" Xiao Renyi was about to scold, but then held back, "Dealing with the mutiny is the right way now, we are so suspicious of each other, aren't we falling for the rebels' tricks?" ”

"I'm afraid that it's hard to prevent thieves."

"Zhu Yun!" Xiao Renyi said angrily, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to speak disrespectfully to this prison army." ”

Gao Yun sat on the top, with a gloomy face and did not speak. An Shiqing stood up and hugged his fist at Xiao Renyi kindly, and said, "Don't be surprised Lord Xiao, General Zhu is also heartfelt for everyone." An Shiqing made a gesture of please, and Xiao Renyi turned his head to sit back in his seat.

Gao Yun saw An Shiqing speak, and then said: "Pass on my military order, if there are soldiers who flee again, they will be dealt with by military law." In the past two days, the soldiers have been allowed to eat a few good meals, and all the dry food on the soldiers has been distributed, and the salary and silver will be distributed half a month in advance. There is also a pause in the siege guerrilla for a few days, so that the brothers can put themselves in order for a few days, and when reinforcements arrive, we will fight to the death. ”

After hearing this, Xu Wei was not puzzled and said: "Marshal, although this move can calm the morale of the army, but if there is a mistake, wouldn't it be ......?"

The generals also showed a hint of concern. Even An Shiqing gently reminded whether this move was a bit desperate, in case the imperial court's reinforcements were a few days late, it would be a big deal.

Gao Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't care so much now, if I don't let the soldiers eat a few more meals, the army's heart will definitely be in chaos, even if they want to kill their heads, many soldiers will still take risks and escape, it is better to let them eat a few meals and recuperate." And counting the days, the reinforcements will arrive within these two days no matter how late they are. As long as we can survive these four or five days, when the reinforcements arrive, I am completely sure that we will take Lanzhou. ”

In the past few days, the Han army has not attacked the city again, which makes the righteous army quite puzzled, and they are all wondering whether the Han army is brewing a big move.

In the chamber of the Lanzhou Mansion. The leaders of the rebel army were all talking about countermeasures. Lu Zuo also sensed that something was wrong, the reason why the Han army attacked and disturbed the siege for days before was to prevent the righteous army from taking the initiative to attack, and wanted to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Lanzhou defenders to attack the city again, and now suddenly stopped attacking the city, there must be something wrong inside, the Han army has been attacking the city for several days, people eat horses and feed, and they must have consumed a lot, but now they suddenly stopped attacking the city, either they are short of food and grass, or they decide to recuperate and launch a general attack. Just when everyone felt that they should take this opportunity to go out of the city to counterattack, the righteous army probed the horses and reported that the Han army did not retreat, but camped ten miles forward.

There was an uproar in the hall, some people said that the enemy's move was a pretentious gesture, obviously a weak heart, and he should take the opportunity to go out of the city to counterattack, and some people said that he was preparing to fight to the death. Everyone discussed unsuccessfully, and they all looked at Lu Zuo and asked him to make up his mind. This time, Lu Zuo also seemed to be a little hesitant, holding the teacup in his hand and rubbing it uncontrollably.

Seeing that Lu Zuo was silent, Huo Jin slapped the table and shouted: "A group of cowards, let me lead a team of soldiers and horses to see how Lao Tzu destroys them." ”

Everyone was a little impatient when they saw that Huo Jin was making another mistake, and Qin Hong sneered mercilessly: "Brother Huo, at this time, you just shut up and don't brag." ”

"I'll brag and give me six hundred men and horses, and I'm going to kill them to the point of overturning."

"Now is not the time for a war of words." Lu Xiuyuan scolded.

"Yes." Lu Zuo suddenly raised his head and said, "I think Brother Huo's words are good. ”

There was another commotion in the hall, everyone thought that Huo Jin's words were just a joke, and they didn't care, and they didn't know what Lu Zuo could mean.

Liu Xingyuan was puzzled: "Brother Lu, this is not child's play. Gao Yun's army has 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it is not a joke to let Brother Huo go to kick the camp. ”

Huo Jin didn't wait for Lu Zuo to speak, he straightened up and stood in the center of the hall, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Lu, I have received this military order, and my younger brother is willing to go." Huo Jin saw that the people around him looked at him in disbelief, and then laughed and said, "I have been nesting in the city every day for the past few days, and I have been affected by their birds, and this time I will also let them taste my strength." ”

Although everyone knows Huo Jin's power, Gao Yun's subordinates are also elite, and it is easy to break into the camp alive, but it is difficult to come out alive. Lu Xiuyuan said: "This matter is not trivial, Zuo'er, how do you think about it?" ”

Lu Zuo replied in an orderly manner: "The enemy army suddenly stopped attacking the city and camped ten miles forward, as everyone said, either they have a weak heart, so they pretend to be a general attack, let us continue to retreat into the city, so that they can wait for reinforcements." If this is the case, it may really mean that they are short of food and grass, and their military spirit is unstable. ”

"And what if you really want to launch a general attack?"

"It is all the more necessary to send someone to find out the truth and the truth."

"But the risk of kicking the camp is extremely high, and you can't get any of them back."

"The big boss is wrong to say." Huo Jin said dissatisfiedly, "My Huo Jin's ability, others don't know, don't you know, millions of troops come and go freely, they don't want to hurt my life." I am the only one who kicked the camp. ”

When everyone saw that Lu Zuo really intended to send Huo Jin to kick the camp, they all showed their worries.

Lu Zuo said: "Kicking the camp, the first thing is to be fast, rush and retreat quickly, and don't fall in love with the war." Huo Jin, can you do it? ”

Huo Jin patted his chest, "Yes!"

"Master." Yin Ji came out from behind and said, "The disciples are willing to fight together." ”

Lu Zuo knew that Yin Ji was also worried about Huo Jin's love war at that time, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, since the apprentice was willing and believed in his ability, there should be no problem, so he nodded and agreed.

Chen Huizhi also came out and asked: "Senior brother, Brother Huo and Xiao Yinji have no experience, so it is appropriate for me to accompany them." ”
