Chapter Twenty-Five: The Inner Ghost
"Withdraw!" With Sun Rong's order, the army abandoned Guangwu and quickly ran back. Lian Dayong naturally refused to let them slip away under his nose, and personally led the army to pursue closely. Sun Rongjun was sleepy and lacking horses after a long battle, and the distance between him and the pursuers was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a valley path appeared in front of him, only allowing a few horses to pass through, and before he had time to think about it, Sun Rong patted his horse and galloped into the valley to escape. Because the road is narrow, it is not conducive to the passage of most people and horses, and when Sun Zhaobu, who has been behind the palace, is ready to enter the valley, even Dayong has chased to the mouth of the valley.
The two sides fought each other in short combat, and Sun Zhao danced a spear impenetrable. Several rebels howled and pounced, and Sun Zhao sent his arm forward, and the spear was inserted straight into the eyebrows of the first rebel, breaking through the back of the head, bringing out pieces of brains. Before the other rebel next to him could react, Sun Zhao poked a big hole in his throat. Sun Zhao became more and more courageous, and the rebels approached one and fell, and in an instant there were corpses piled up at his feet.
Seeing that Sun Zhao was as invincible as a god, the rebels were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward, and instead singled out his subordinates. In the blink of an eye, the subordinates had fallen one after another, and in the end, only Sun Zhao was left, with his back to the valley mouth, surrounded by a dense rebel army with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Taken by Sun Zhao's force, the rebels changed their tactics and no longer attacked brutally, but slowly retreated, surrounding him from a distance and preparing to release arrows. At this time, Lian Dayong suddenly stopped his subordinates and raised their voices and shouted: "I respect you as a good man, get out of the way, and spare you from dying!" ”
Sun Zhao's eyes widened angrily, he thrust the handle of the gun into the ground heavily, and stood on the ground: "Don't think! ”
Seeing that he was awe-inspiring like a god of war, the pursuers unconsciously took a few steps back. Lian Dayong cast a respectful gaze: "Well said! In Xia Lian Dayong, dare to ask the name of the honorable surname! ”
Sun Zhao: "Sun! Commence! ”
Lian Dayong nodded: "Sun Zhao! Lian remembered that Lian was very honored to have an opponent like you! At the sound of the order, the rebels fired thousands of arrows, and immediately shot Sun Zhao into a hedgehog, but the corpse was still standing after a long time. It wasn't until Lian Dayong's angry shouts came from behind him that the soldiers dared to cautiously approach Taniguchi, and at this time, they naturally couldn't catch up with Sun Rong.
ran for several hours in one breath, until the sky was getting dark, and it was sure that Lian Dayong had not chased after him again, so Sun Rong dared to order the camp. It was inevitably eye-catching, and Sun Rong specially instructed the whole army not to erect flags, let alone make fires to make food, and could only satisfy hunger with dry food.
After a while, Sun Zhao's remnants who fled from the battlefield brought back the news of Sun Zhao's death. When the news spread, a feeling of sadness and resentment suddenly spread throughout the army. Among the leaders of Huaiwu, Sun Zhao can also be regarded as a deeply respected figure in the whole dock, not only can arrange all kinds of tedious chores in an orderly manner, but even more rare is that he is not inferior to other deacons on the battlefield, if he is both civil and military, it is not too much to say that he has both civil and military skills. Sun Rong was still counting on cultivating him and making him his heart, but at this moment, he could only sigh in vain and be jealous of the talent, and he hated the Hu family and his son even more: "Hu Dun! Hu Jinshan! One day, Sun will make you pay! ”
"Pass the order, the army will rest for the night, and the camp will be pulled out early tomorrow morning!" This battle hit Sun Rong too hard, maybe it has been too smooth since the battle, and it was not until this moment that he realized the taste of defeat, and it turned out to be this kind of heartache that he didn't want to think about! He and his subordinates need to use tonight to calm their minds, and they can't lose their fighting spirit for the sake of this moment's gains and losses.
Sun Rong called Sun Chaozong: "You work hard tonight, send more people to patrol, if the camp is robbed after a fiasco, General Ben is worried that our soldiers will be afraid of the battle from now on!" ”
Sun Chaozong: "The general will rest assured that he will hand it over to the last general!" "Take the command and go.
Sure enough, he did not live up to Sun Rong's expectations, under the personal coordination of Sun Chaozong, it didn't take long for the corners and corners of the entire camp to be under strict surveillance, even if a mouse passed by, he Sun Chaozong could immediately know.
Just as he was pacing back and forth in his tent, saddened by Sun Zhao's death, a sentry suddenly lifted the curtain and entered: "Report~, I found a suspicious character!" ”
Sun Chaozong suddenly realized: "Where is it?" ”
The sentry led him to a corner of the tent, and sure enough, a man in black was peering inward, sneaky and suspicious. Sun Chaozong waved his hand, and four or five soldiers quickly attacked, holding sharp blades to surround the man.
Just as he was about to step forward to question, the man spoke first: "This is General Lian's camp?" ”
Sun Chaozong's eyes rolled, General Lian? Could it be Lian Dayong? Neither admitting nor denying it, he cried out, "Who are you?" ”
The man was obviously a little anxious, and he didn't want to think that Sun Chaozong didn't answer his question at all: "Take me to see General Lian quickly, I have important things that need to be presented to General Lian in person, if it is delayed, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it!" ”
Sun Chaozong became more and more strange, and said in his heart Since you have admitted the wrong camp, then I will play with you to see what kind of fame you are doing, and whispered: "Come with me!" ”
Along the way, the man kept complaining: "I said that you have a huge military camp, why can't you even see a military flag, so I didn't dare to enter the camp for a long time!" ”
Sun Chaozong smiled and said nothing, and he hit it crookedly, but he didn't expect that his original move to hide his whereabouts would attract such a foolish ghost.
The man didn't shut his mouth because Sun Chaozong didn't pay attention to him, and he chattered freely: "I heard that you are besieging Guangwu City, why did you set up the camp so far?" If it weren't for the armies of the surrounding courts being swept away by you, I really wouldn't dare to come in! ”
While speaking, Sun Chaozong had already brought the person to the door of Sun Rong's big tent: "You wait outside first, and then you can come in after I inform General Lian." ”
Hearing Sun Chaozong's request to see him, Sun Rong's heart suddenly rose to his throat again, didn't even Dayong really chase after him again?
After he entered, Sun Rong hurriedly asked, "But what is the movement on Lian Dayong's side?" ”
Sun Chaozong: "No, the last general just caught a spy." It should have been sent by someone in the court who secretly communicated with the great brave! ”
It's really as Hu Jinshan said, there is an inner ghost in the court, Sun Rong couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and hurriedly ordered Sun Chaozong: "Bring people in quickly!" ”
Sun Chaozong smiled: "Not busy!" Until then, the last general wants to ask the general to play a play. ”
Sun Rong looked at Sun Chaozong suspiciously.
Sun Chaozong: "It's funny, this spy is a fool, he actually mistook us with Lian Dayong's military camp, saying that something important was presented to General Lian, and now he is waiting outside the general's tent for "General Lian" to meet you!" The last general wondered if he had wronged the general and pretended to be that Lian Dayong for the time being, to see what he would bring. ”
Sun Rong smiled and nodded: "It's kind of interesting!" ”
A moment later, Sun Chaozong brought the man into the camp. Before Sun Rong could speak, the man couldn't wait to salute: "Meet General Lian!" The villain was ordered by Li Sinong to transfer important objects to the general, and I believe that it will be of great benefit to the great cause of the public! ”
Sun Rong's surprise is not trivial, Li Sinong? Isn't it the big Si Nong Li Hui! This Li Hui is a well-known good official who loves the people like a son, and has a very high reputation among the people, even Sun Rong and others who are far away in Huaiwu have often heard of it. It cannot be said that it is not surprising that such a person would secretly communicate with the rebels. Although he was shocked in his heart, a smile appeared on his face: "Really? ”
The man hurriedly took out a piece of silk silk from his arms and handed it to Sun Rong: "The general will know if he sees it!" ”
Unfolding the silk silk, on which was impressively drawn the deployment map of the imperial court's troops in the north, Sun Rong's expression suddenly changed dramatically: "How did you get such important information?" ”
The man's face showed a look of pride: "The general doesn't know that Li Sinong's son-in-law is engaged in Zhonglang Wangju in the General's Mansion, if he wants to steal some information, there is always a way!" ”
Sun Rong didn't hide it at the moment, his face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Take this spy down on General Ben!" ”
The man trembled at this sudden outburst, and looked at Sun Rong in confusion: "General Lian, what does this mean?" ”
Sun Rong: "Who is General Lian?" This general is Sun Rong, the general of the Great Wei Longxiang! ”
After the paralyzed spy was escorted down by the soldiers, Sun Rong summoned Sun Chaozong into the big tent, pondered for a moment and said, "You personally go to Luoyang and send this person to ...... Changle Palace, give this picture to His Royal Highness King Changle. Now Yuan Rui's identity is no longer a secret, Sun Chaozong and him are also old acquaintances, and they immediately took the order and left overnight.
Due to Hu Dun's treachery, not only did he fail to attack Lian Dayong inside and outside as planned, but also took Sun Zhao's life in vain, and even almost wiped out the whole army.
Halfway through the march, the army met a reborn who was looking for them along the road who was supposed to stay in Stone City. Sun Rong said badly, and asked, "You don't stay in Shicheng, what are you doing here?" ”
Regeneration: "Something happened to Stone City!" Sun Xiu and Zhao Zuoche took a thousand men and horses from their headquarters and took their wives back to Huaiwu at night! ”
