Chapter 91: Be a deserter again
"Acting...... Lie to the old Duan? ”
After hearing Huaxing's words, Tang Sheng said with a puzzled face:
"General, I still don't understand what you mean."
The ins and outs of the whole thing, it took Huaxing more than half an hour to figure out.
At this moment, it was indeed a little difficult to make Tang Sheng understand immediately, and he soon listened to Huaxing's patient preaching:
To put it bluntly, Liu Bi deliberately played a play for Lao Duan and released him back. He wants to tell us that we're going to launch a surprise attack tomorrow night. ”
"Huh? Lao Duan was deliberately let go by them? ”
"That's right! From a broad perspective, these things seem to be very reasonable, but if you look closely, you will find traces of artificial carving: first, it is strange not to lock the prison door; In addition, the two armies confronted each other, and the only entrance to the cottage was unguarded. No matter how important the meeting is, it doesn't need everyone to attend, right? Don't even want border guards? Also, in just a few minutes, Lao Duan happened to overhear the other party's surprise attack plan, and even heard it clearly when the troops would be dispatched...... Hehe, it's not that I don't believe in coincidences, but too many coincidences come together, and they must be people! ”
After hearing this, Tang Sheng nodded as if he didn't understand: "That's the case...... So what are they doing this for? Are you trying to scare us away? ”
"No, they want to see how we react."
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"Normally, if we don't have reinforcements, we will definitely withdraw overnight after learning of the raid plan, so as not to wipe out the group. Otherwise, you won't be scared away. ”
"Oh! I understand! You mean, they want to judge by that, do we have reinforcements? After answering with understanding, Tang Sheng suddenly frowned again:
"Huh? That's not right! It stands to reason that they haven't captured it for so long, which means that they have fallen for your empty city plan and believe in the existence of ambushes. Why do it now? ”
"Well, I have to thank our good comrade-in-arms Duan Hongguang." Hua Xing shook his head and chuckled.
"Huh? What does it have to do with him? Tang Sheng was confused again.
"Alas! It must have been Duan Hongguang who told Liu Pi everything about our situation, which led to this episode. But fortunately, Liu Pi was naturally suspicious and did not believe it all. If he really has the same temperament as Gong Du, I'm afraid he would have been killed this morning. ”
"W-What? Are you saying that Duan Hongguang has done it all? ”
Before, after hearing Duan Hongguang's "heroic deeds", Tang Sheng was full of respect for this person.
An old man in his fifties, under the severe torture of the enemy, was able to hold on for so long without saying a word, thinking about it, he feels heroic!
But now, Hua Xing said that Duan Hongguang had recruited all of them, which really made Tang Sheng a little unacceptable, and his face was full of doubts:
But didn't he say that he didn't say a word? That's why Liu Bicai ordered him to be put to death, and he also ate a severed head meal, this, this ......"
"Hehe, you believe everything he says?"
Seeing that Tang Sheng believed the other party so naively, Hua Xing couldn't help laughing:
"The reason why Liu Bi wanted to take his life was mostly to force him to 'escape from prison', and it had nothing to do with him if he didn't say it. This guy can't do anything else, so he pays lip service. is obviously a 'traitor', but he insists on calling himself a hero. Alas! If it weren't for his age, it wouldn't be easy, I really want to serve in military law! ”
was just a living hero, and suddenly became a "bear". After hearing Huaxing's words, Tang Sheng's face was tangled, and his eyes were complicated.
But the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it. After much thought, he finally accepted the matter.
"General, what should we do next?"
"Well...... I've already figured it out. Since Liu Bi wants to test me with this plan, then let's plan it! ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, Huaxing came to the big tent early in the morning and started today's deployment according to the plan.
At this moment, except for Hua Xing, Tang Sheng and Duan Hongguang, no one else in the army knew about the surprise attack, so the army's spirit was still stable, and everyone was working in an orderly manner.
Only Duan Hongguang, who was lying in the medical tent, was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was restless from morning to night.
I had been lying down for a whole day, watching the sun set, and there were less than three hours left before the enemy's surprise attack, but I had not heard the news of the withdrawal.
Duan Hongguang couldn't hold back any longer, ignoring the military doctor's obstruction, and walked towards the big tent on crutches.
Seeing that there was no one else in the account except Huaxing, Duan Hongguang immediately stepped forward and said with a puzzled face:
"General Hua, that, that...... When are we going to withdraw our troops? ”
Looking up at Duan Hongguang, Hua Xing slowly put down the map in his hand, and asked without answering:
"Why are you withdrawing?"
"General, you won't forget so quickly, will you? Didn't the old man tell you yesterday that the enemy army was coming to attack the camp tonight? ”
"So what?" Hua Xing said expressionlessly: "Wouldn't it be happy to come and fight to the death with them?" ”
Hearing the words "a desperate battle", Duan Hongguang's face turned pale in an instant, and he swallowed his saliva while persuading:
"General Hua, there are more than 3,000 people on the other side, and we only have 500 wounded soldiers, plus 500 veterans, which opponent is this? If you stick to it like this, you will definitely be killed by the other party! I hope the general will think twice! ”
Hearing this, Hua Xing suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and asked:
"And what do you mean?"
"We should withdraw our troops quickly!"
"Why?"
"Since the strength is not good, it is better to preserve the strength and avoid casualties."
"Oh, it turns out that Duan Lao is thinking about everyone's lives?"
"Yes, yes! Victory or defeat is important, but human life is at stake, so we don't need to let everyone sacrifice in vain......"
After hearing the words "sacrifice in vain", Hua Xing suddenly sneered, stared at the eyes of the Hongguang and said:
"Elder Duan, if you really care about everyone's lives, why did you tell the enemy all the details of our army yesterday?"
"Huh? I—I don't! ”
As soon as these words came out, Duan Hongguang instantly became nervous, and beads of sweat were faintly oozing from his forehead:
"General, you—you can't spew blood!"
"Old Duan, let's not talk darkly. If you hadn't revealed the intelligence of our army, Liu Bi and Gong would not have the courage to rush down. So it doesn't matter if you admit it or not, I know it. ”
Seeing that Duan Hongguang still wanted to quibble, Huaxing directly interrupted the other party:
"That's it! I won't pursue this matter either. If you want to stay, you can stay. As for the withdrawal of troops, you don't have to count on it, I won't give the order! If you don't want to die for nothing, then ...... Be a deserter again. ”
After speaking, Hua Xing waved his hand and ordered someone to pull Duan Hongguang out.
For a short time, he really didn't want to see this hateful face again.
