Chapter 21 Stealing the Day
The senior brother of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect raised his hand and touched his fat chin, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea!" It's just that...... Except for Tianzong's junior brother, no one knew the woman, let alone where she was at the moment. To make it clear to my junior brother, I am afraid that he will be soft-hearted and will do bad things! ”。
The junior brother smiled gloomily: "This is easy to do, just deceive him temporarily." Pingzhou City is not big, we can encourage him to persevere, and strive to reunite after breaking the mirror, he will definitely be moved. Send someone to follow him quietly, and when the two of them meet again, they will greet the other brothers and sisters to rush up and slash and kill them with knives, and when Senior Brother He dares not to agree, he will betray the master and be the enemy of the world! Forgive him for not daring to disobey! ”。
The senior brother's eyes flashed, and he grinned and chuckled: "This plan is very good! Finally, I can take a breath of evil for my sect and the dead beggar brothers, and if I do it well, I can not only exempt the master from the punishment of us, but also strengthen the prestige of my sect in the rivers and lakes, so let's do it! ”。
After the first brief intimate contact, the new army of the Great Qi Protector and the people of the Great Chu invariably became jealous of their opponents. Just like two heavyweight fighters, after a little probing, they are very cautious when they punch again.
It seems to be a calm confrontation, but in fact, both sides are secretly accumulating strength, intending to take a gap and give each other a fatal blow.
During this period, Guan Yu, the king of Dingbei, was not idle at all, he was first busy personally selecting instructors, and then visited the scene to see the special training of the people of Mingyuezhai.
It stands to reason that General Guan's account is like a cloud, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and he can't see this bit of people in Mingyuezhai. But since the Feiyan girl has come thousands of miles to defect, not to mention that she has already been pulled into the cruel battlefield, Guan Yu regards Li Dazui, Wang Ermao and others as his own brothers in his heart, and he really can't bear to watch them become ghosts under the sword of the Protector Army in the future.
When he didn't go to see the actual military drills, General Guan would take Du Zhongnian, Cui Dakui and other lieutenants to gallop up the mountain beam, look at the camp of the National Protector Army with colorful flags fluttering in the distance, investigate the opponent's movements, and think about ways to break the enemy.
On this day, Guan Yu immediately stood on the mountain beam and squinted his eyes at the Qi army camp. Cui Dakui, who was behind him, looked up at the sky and muttered, "Strange, why does the sun seem to be missing a corner today?" ”。
Guan Yu raised his head in contemplation, and also looked up at the sun above his head.
High in the clouds, the sun glows incandescent, not dazzling. The originally round outline was darkened by a small bit, as if a corner was really missing, and the shadow seemed to spread slowly.
Guan Yu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and turned his head to Du Zhongnian and said, "Quickly pass the order, our soldiers and horses will immediately surround the Great Qi military camp." Remember, only from a distance, not close to each other! ”。
Du Zhongnian was surprised: "Is the general planning to sneak attack the camp of the Protector Army?" The ...... of this blue sky and white day".
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "General Yan's camp is so easy to sneak attack?" Without further ado, I will explain to you that every man shall bring his torches, and when I blow the trumpet here, you will do as commanded." ”
Du Zhongnian and Cui Dakui looked at each other, with a question mark in their heads, but they didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly beat their horses away after clasping their fists and saluting.
General Yan was gathering in the camp to discuss matters, and the clear sky outside the tent suddenly gradually dimmed, and after a while, it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
The old general was about to order someone to light torches, when he suddenly heard a loud horn sound in the distance, and then, countless torches were lit up around the barracks at the same time, and the officers and soldiers of Dachu shouted in unison from afar: "The sky changes the day, and the great Qi dies!" The sky changes, and the great death is gone! ”。
In this dark day, even though General Yan was experienced in a hundred battles and well-informed, seeing the blazing torches suddenly lit up around him, and hearing the neat and loud shouts, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and gasp.
The general in the tent was even more shocked and panicked.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Our army is surrounded by Great Chu thieves?" What's going on? ”。
General Yan, who first calmed down, spoke: "Don't panic, mess up!" Ordered all departments to strictly guard against death, not to go out of the camp gate for half a step, and beware of thieves from sneaking up on my camp! ”。
After a short period of panic, it was time to pee, the sky was bright again, and everything was back to normal.
The generals in the tent all stared wide-eyed, closed their lips, and remained silent, for fear that they would say something wrong again.
After a while, a junior colonel bowed his head and stepped into the big tent, knelt down and saluted: "Strict commander, the thieves just shouted indiscriminately for a while, and did not attack my camp. ”
Old General Yan calmly raised his hand and stroked the heavy silver beard under his chin and nodded: "It is rumored that the soldiers of all battalions, this is an abnormal celestial phenomenon of the heavenly dog swallowing the sun, although it is rare, it is not strange, and it should not be suspicious. The thief army intends to disturb the hearts of our army, don't be fooled! ”。
The colonel bowed his head and retreated.
Old General Yan looked at the generals and smiled bitterly: "After you return to the camp later, you must reiterate the words of the commander to appease the army." There are capable people in the Da Chu camp, who can detect abnormal celestial phenomena in advance, and use this to disturb the hearts of our army. The so-called siege is the bottom, the attack heart is the top, and it is necessary to defend! ”。
Seeing that the generals in the tent didn't seem to have recovered from the panic just now, and their emotions were not high, they all bowed their heads and were silent, General Yan got up and raised his voice and said: "Come and don't be rude, you wait for the time being, retreat, Rong Benshuai think about it again, within three days, our army will surprise the army, give the thieves a hard blow, and return the color!" ”。
The meal was served, and the soldiers in the camp of Daqi gathered in groups of three or five.
Erzhu held the big bowl in his hand, habitually gathered around with several fellow villagers, lowered his head and pulled it into his mouth.
Fellow villager Chen Simao stopped the chopsticks in his hand, glanced around, stretched his neck and whispered mysteriously: "Guys, have you ever heard of it?" Don't look at the Taiping army that was destroyed by us pretending to be a ghost all day long, it's all a lie! But this time, there are really demons in the Great Chu military camp against our enemy! ”。
The crowd stopped chewing and looked up with a little horror, and one of them asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”。
Chen Simao turned his head and looked around in a pretentious posture, and lowered his voice again: "You want to!" When our army was fighting with Da Chu, seeing that our army's victory was imminent, suddenly the sand and rocks were flying, and the demon wind suddenly rose, so that the thieves could escape, but our army suffered a lot of losses. Do you know why the invincible General Yan is not in a hurry to fight this time? ”。
Seeing him smiling and selling the guanzi, everyone lowered their heads and pondered.
After a while, three people nodded their heads again and again, and one of them whispered: "Don't say it, how old is Brother Simao older than us, think about it, it's really like that!" ”。
Erzhuzi said unconvinced: "What bullshit demon, didn't the old general give orders?" This is an anomalous celestial phenomenon, just a coincidence. ”
The man on the other side blushed and argued thickly: "Erzhuzi, you are lonely and unheard, and you are a fool of the clouds!" Let's listen to what Brother Simao has to say. ”
Erzhuzi was choked uncomfortably, staring at him and thinking about a theory, Chen Simao interrupted him with a wave of his hand and continued: "Our Yan Marshal is afraid that the army will be unstable, so he will hide it because he is in chaos. I heard that his old man had already made a statement to the Holy Lord, asking the Holy Lord to send the best demon hunter in the capital to come to help, so he delayed sending troops to attack the thieves! Got it? ”。
Several of the pawns around him opened their mouths wide and nodded their heads as if they had suddenly realized.
Erzhuzi said angrily: "Brother Simao, don't guess nonsense, we should be brave soldiers, as long as we guard our duties and go into battle to kill the enemy bravely!" ”。
Chen Simao turned around, slapped him on the head unceremoniously, and scolded: "You kid knows a fart!" I don't know a single big character, and the art of war says: Only by knowing monsters can you win a hundred battles! ”。
Chen Simao's slap was a little heavier, but Erzhu was not on guard, and under the blow, he fell to the ground with a heavy butt, and the coarse porcelain bowl in his hand was also shattered.
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Erzhuzi stood up with a red face, pointed at Chen Simao's nose and scolded: "Mother's big feet, I am too bullying to sue you!" ”。
Chen Simao pursed his lips, gave him a blank look and replied, "your mother!" Don't forget that when you fought the Taiping Army, Lao Tzu also took a knife for you and saved your life! There is a kind of you go to sue, if you don't dare to go, you are not a standing peeing man! ”。
Everyone laughed again, and Erzhuzi stood up with a pale face, patted his buttocks, and turned away with red eyes.
Chen Simao didn't care, and continued to turn his head and laugh with the brothers.
After a while, the brothers sitting across from him suddenly put away the smiles on their faces and looked behind him with wide eyes.
Chen Simao turned around in surprise, but saw a mighty general in armor standing there, and shouted at him, "You are Chen Simao, right?" ”。
Chen Simao hurriedly got up and nodded respectfully.
The majestic general glanced at the soldiers who came with him, and shouted: "Someone, take him down, and escort him to the big tent of the Chinese army to meet General Yan!" ”。
Chen Simao, who was tied up by five flowers and stumbled into the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt down in front of General Yan, he struggled to raise his head and wanted to argue a few words. When he saw the two pillars standing on the side, he was sweating profusely and speechless.
Old General Yan glared at him, snorted coldly, raised his hand and threw an arrow on the table to the ground, and shouted: "Come on, pull him out and behead him." Pass on my general's order, but there are rumors in the army, and those who disturb the morale of the army will be punished as bandits, and they will all be beheaded and shown to the public! ”。
Chen Simao was escorted down, and before leaving, he gritted his teeth, twisted his neck desperately, stared at Erzhuzi in a daze, Erzhu avoided his gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head.
It is unknown whether Chen Simao regretted that he sacrificed his life to save Erzhuzi's life on the battlefield back then.
In the temporary palace of the Great Chu Emperor Liu Qian and the big tent of the command center not far away, a fierce confrontation is also going on at this moment.
After Guan Yu led his troops and horses back to the camp, he hurried here to explain the situation to the two brothers.
After listening to this, Shi Dazai smiled and asked curiously, "How did the sixth brother know that there was a vision in the sky today?" ”。
Guan Yu hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "It was Deputy Head Cui who reminded the last general that this vision is rare in ten years and fleeting, so the junior brother dared to send troops without authorization, intending to disturb the heart of the Great Qi army." ”
Shi Tian Gong Jie praised: "The sixth brother is really smart, this plan is very good!" Soldiers are not bloody, and they should be miraculous! ”。
Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan on the side, sneered twice, took two steps forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Lord Dazai, in front of the two armies, he transferred troops without receiving the emperor's order, which is obviously a great achievement, and his eyes are unholy and lawless!" According to military law, not only should not be rewarded, but should also be severely punished with military discipline to promote normalcy! ”。
