Chapter 139: The Rebellion of Chu Ying
"Report! There were fires in many places in the camp, and the fire was very large. ”
"Report! A clash broke out between the former Xiong Hu sergeant and our sergeant, and now there has been a matter of drawing swords against each other, and General Lian Bi is stopping it. ”
"Report ......"
The heralds in the Chu camp kept coming and going in and out of the tent to convey the latest news in the camp to Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.
However, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, didn't care about these news at all, he only cared about one thing, that is, the movement of the Wei soldiers, whether the Wei army stationed in the Wei camp on the bank of the Yanshui River would take advantage of the chaos in his camp to come to attack at night.
Right now, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, only cares about this, and the rest, even if the sergeant under his command and the former Xiong Hu sergeant in the camp are really doing a fake show, and there is really a civil strife, he doesn't care.
After all, in his opinion, if the lure of the Wei army failed this time, then he would have to retreat to Zhaoling and other Wei cities that he had captured, and honestly wait for the spring of the next year to fight again.
It is no exaggeration to say that at the beginning of the spring of the next year, as long as he pays a sum of money, he can raise an army of tens of thousands of people in his territory in the Chu State, so even if the Chu soldiers in the camp lose more land tonight, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, will not feel distressed.
But what made him more and more anxious was that the Wei camp on the bank of the Yanshui River had not moved so far, which made Xiong Tuo incomprehensible.
"Could it be that the fire in my military camp is not burning enough? Didn't Wei Jun pay attention?'
Xiong Tuo paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and then ordered the guards in the tent to observe the fire in the camp.
After a short time, the guards came back and told Xiong Tuo frankly that there were fires in several places in the entire camp, and the fire was soaring to the sky and spreading widely.
Even. The guard also sent a message that the general Lian Bi asked him to convey on his behalf: If the fire is not controlled again, after a while, even if he has the intention to extinguish the fire, it will be irreversible.
After hearing the news, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, pondered in the tent for a moment, and asked the personal guard to convey his meaning to the general Lian Bi again: It's okay!
In other words, Xiong Tuo doesn't care about this military camp anymore, even if there is this military camp anyway. He was also unable to conquer the Yanshui camp of the Wei army.
After conveying the order to Lian Bi to "condone the fire", Xiong Tuo still paced back and forth in the tent, scolding in his heart as he walked.
"Damn Wei people...... Are they all blind? The fire in our army's camp is so strong, those Wei people actually turn a blind eye? …… Could it be that Ji Run'er saw through it? No, since he released the 30,000 prisoners, it was obviously also an idea to drive a wedge between our army, and if he thought about it this way, the civil strife in our army should be expected by him. Can...... But why didn't he fall for it?'
The irritable Xiong Tuo walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, thinking hard about the matter.
After thinking about it, he could only attribute this matter to the conclusion that 'Wei Jun is still waiting'.
If you think about it carefully, even if he is the commander of the Wei people, it is impossible to order a sneak attack immediately when he finds out that the enemy camp is on fire, so he naturally has to be cautious, God knows if it is the enemy's trick to lure the enemy.
Thinking of this, Xiong Tuo let out a long breath. Again and again, he persuaded himself to be calm and wait for the arrival of the Wei army.
And while Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Wei army. The chaos in the Chu camp has escalated, after causing deaths, the contradiction between Xiong Tuojun and Xiong Amber's army has been completely intensified, although the general Lian Bi has taken the opportunity to send troops to block the chaotic middle camp, and the soldiers of the four partial battalions in the east, west, south and north are not allowed to enter and exit, but the chaos in the middle camp. But he was powerless to stop it.
At present, in this middle camp, the number of soldiers affected by the chaos has reached 7,000, of which nearly 4,000 are Xiong Tuojun's soldiers, and the other 3,000 are Xiong Hu's Chu soldiers.
It's hard to imagine. Obviously, they are both the armies of the Chu State, but these two Chu soldiers are fighting like mortal enemies at the moment, and they are eager to kill all of each other.
『……』
Qu Cheng looked coldly at the two Chu soldiers in the distance, his heart moved slightly, and he said to Lian Bi, the general beside him: "General Lian Bi, can we just watch them kill each other?" ”
"How else could it be?" Lian Bi said lightly: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to stop the mutiny in the army, as long as we ensure that the remaining four partial battalions are not affected, as for this middle battalion...... Let these two groups of people make trouble, and the right to use them to lure Wei Jun. ”
"Whoa!"
Seeing that Lian Bi had made up his mind and his attitude was very resolute, Qu Cheng pursed his lips in his heart with some regret.
In fact, it was best for him to send soldiers to intervene in the two groups of fratricidal Chu soldiers, so that those Chu soldiers under Lian Bi would also be affected and attacked by those two groups of Chu soldiers, after all, those two groups of people are now red-eyed.
But unfortunately, Lian Bi deserved to be the general under Xiong Tuo, and he acted very decisively, and when he saw that the situation was inviolable, he simply gave up the 7,000 or so chaotic troops in the middle camp, and instead sent soldiers to defend the main roads leading to the four partial camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and firmly controlled the chaotic situation in the middle camp, which made all the small tricks in Qu Cheng's heart that intended to expand the chaos useless.
This chaotic battle lasted for more than an hour.
It wasn't until the end of the day that the chaos in the middle camp gradually subsided, and to the surprise of Lian Bi, Qu Cheng and others, the original Xiong Hu sergeant with only more than 3,000 people actually defeated Xiong Tuo's army, which was hundreds more than them, in that chaotic battle, and the reason for this incredible phenomenon was that the young thousand-person general Wu Ji.
"What a fierce young general......
The general Lian Bi was also secretly surprised in his heart.
You must know that because Wu Ji was the first to instigate Xiong Hu's sergeant to enter the chaos, disrupting his plan for Lian Bi, causing chaos in the middle camp and killing thousands of Chu soldiers, Lian Bi paid special attention to Wu Ji.
It's not that he has any thoughts of revenge in his heart, after all, in Lian Bi's view, as long as the chaotic scene is controlled, even if these Chu soldiers really kill each other in a fake show, it will not change anything for the overall situation: against the Yanshui camp of the Wei army, the Chu army still occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but it is still unable to conquer the Wei camp.
To put it bluntly, Lian Bi just paid attention to Wu Ji, wanting to see how far this impulsive and upright young man could go. And what surprised him was. Wu Ji, a young thousand-man general, his bravery is far beyond Lian Bi's imagination, and he can be described as a rare brave general.
However, appreciation is appreciation, now is not the time for him to promote the young thousand-person general, the top priority, he must first think about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
To know. At present, nearly 4,000 Xiong Tuo's army in the middle camp is about to be defeated by more than 3,000 Xiong Amber soldiers, it is not difficult to guess that when these two groups of Chu soldiers win or lose, then this turmoil will end in nine times out of ten, after all, he has already ordered people to send heavy troops to block this military camp.
Then the question arises, when this turmoil is over, what will their Chu army continue to lure the Wei army?
Do you want to stop there? Let this lure ambush end in a farce?
I believe that if this matter spreads, it will definitely make the people of the world laugh off their big teeth: the Chu people do not hesitate to kill each other. to lure the Wei people to attack their military camp at night, but before the Wei army could dispatch, the Chu people themselves ended the battle to lure the enemy because of excessive losses.
"I'm in trouble now......" Lian Bi muttered in a low voice.
Qu Cheng glanced at Lian Bi when he heard this, and chuckled twice in his heart.
Of course, he understood what Lian Bi was worried about, and in fact, what the latter was worried about was exactly what Qu Cheng was surprised and surprised by.
That is. I don't know why, the Wei army never came to attack the Chu camp at night.
Originally, Qu Cheng was also a little worried. Worried that the king of Wei saw that the Chu camp was on fire, he didn't know what to do with ordering the Wei soldiers under his command to attack the camp, but now, after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the Wei army coming and attacking, Qu Cheng suddenly had some confidence in his heart.
He didn't know why Zhao Hongrun didn't order the Wei army to take the opportunity to come to the night camp, but anyway. The Wei army's move to turn a blind eye to the Chu army's civil strife was a wise move for the current situation.
"General Lian Bi, it's better to ......" Qu Cheng whispered a few words in Lian Bi's ear.
Now that the Wei army, or that Su King, had proved their wisdom, it was clear that Qu Cheng had added some confidence that they would eventually defeat Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and therefore began to spare no effort to consider for the Wei army.
"Ordered to lay down their arms?"
Lian Bi turned his head when he heard this. He frowned and said, "It seems that in the current situation, if my soldiers intervene and order the sergeants of Lord Xiong Amber to lay down their weapons, there is a chance that they will come at a certain soldier...... You mean, sacrificing a certain general? ”
In the end, Lian Bi's face was a little unhappy.
Facing the unhappy expression on Lian Bi's face, Qu Cheng didn't seem to see it, and smiled bitterly: "General Lian Bi, but that's the only way to do it now...... Unless, let's stop the strategy to lure the Wei army. ”
Lian Bi frowned, glanced at Qu Cheng a few times, and then looked at the chaotic troops in the distance, with a little hesitation on his face.
As Qu Cheng said, if he wants to continue to maintain the situation of "continuous civil strife" in the Chu camp, he must let his soldiers intervene, but in this way, not only the soldiers under his command will be damaged, but the chaos will also spread to the remaining four side battalions.
And once the Chu soldiers in the entire Chu camp mutinied, it would not end well.
"This matter, I want to ask the son......
Lian Bi thought for a while, but in the end it was difficult to make a decision, and sent someone to convey the matter to Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng in the tent.
It didn't take long for Xiong Tuo to send a message.
Although it is only four words, it is enough to prove that Xiong Tuo's decisiveness is far above Lianbi: no matter the cost!
"...... at any cost"
Lian Bi muttered these four words, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: order the soldiers under his command to intervene and order the two groups of chaotic Chu soldiers to lay down their weapons.
As Lian Bi considered, when Xiong Hu's soldiers finally won Xiong Tuo's army just now, and as a result, his Lian Bi's soldiers immediately intervened, what would those Xiong Amber soldiers think?
Everyone would subconsciously think that it was the Chu soldiers of the Lianbi army who were ready to execute them.
As a result, out of fear, the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Xiong Amber Army fought with the Lian Bi army again without accident, and when they were fighting, the rest of the Xiong Amber Army and Xiong Tuo's army also rushed to help, so that the situation that had just calmed down suddenly became chaotic again.
Looking at this scene, Qu Cheng was really a little puzzled.
He has done everything he can to help the Wei army, but what is his Royal Highness the King of Wei doing?
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was standing on the camp wall in the southwest corner of the Wei camp, faintly looking at the sky-high fire in the direction of Chu Ying in the distance.
At the Xiying Gate of the Wei camp, the general Bailiba led a group of Wei soldiers and quietly left the camp and gradually disappeared under the dark night.
Wei Bing, after all, has taken action.
However, the direction in which Baili Ba led the army did not seem to be Chu Ying. (To be continued.) )
