Chapter 384: Hold your ground

"Is General Bian overthinking?" Qiao Rui sneered.

Although some people look down on these bandits, it can be seen from the name of Qiao Rui that he is helpless now, and that trace of fear.

Bian Xi said disapprerovingly: "Could it be that there are two generals who have made a name for themselves, so Zhao Qian can still kill us?" ”

"Of course, Zhao Qian will not do anything to you immediately, but when the military is completed here, I estimate that you will not end well." Qiao Rui said disdainfully.

Du Yuan frowned and asked: "What is General Qiao's opinion, don't let go of it and listen to us, if there is really some truth, it is not impossible for us to return to Yuan Shu." ”

Qiao Rui took a deep breath, he himself was born in the Shi clan, not like ordinary generals, he has a lot of insight into the situation, and at this time, it is a matter of life and death, so he must be more cautious.

"First of all, Zhao Qian started by fighting to destroy the Yellow Turbans, and Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang died because of him, and the Yellow Turban Party is itself a hostile relationship." Qiao Rui said.

"As long as we vote sincerely, the general may not be incompatible." Liao Hua said.

Qiao Rui snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "General Liao might as well think about it, can Zhao Qian have a general from the Yellow Turban under him?" ”

"Black Mountain Zhang Yan, Bai Bo Han Xian, and Li Le, although they are not from the Yellow Turban Party, they are also from bandits, how can Zhao Qian be compatible?" Liao Hua replied.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The two generals Zhang Yan and Bai Bo of Montenegro also made military exploits with Zhao Qian at the beginning, but they are still not reused. ”

After hearing this, Du Yuan nodded lightly unconsciously, what Qiao Rui said was the truth, and there was no need to doubt it.

"If we help General Qiao this time, what benefits will we get after the matter is completed?" Du Yuan asked.

What benefits they can get is what they are most concerned about, whether it is to take refuge in Yuan Shu or Zhao Qian, who can bring great benefits, then it is their choice.

Qiao Rui frowned, and looked at the team of nearly 20,000 people, if it was promised money, food, and grass, it was really not a small amount.

Liu Hao saw that Qiao Rui was a little hesitant, and hurriedly said: "I have the last skills, and I am still serving as a deputy general in the army, and with the ability of several generals, I will definitely not be under me." ”

When Du Yuan heard this, he nodded again and said, "Since this is the case, I will look at Liu Hao's face and help General Qiao to avoid Zhao Qian's pursuit." ”

Qiao Rui glared at Liu Hao, obviously very unhappy with Du Yuan's statement on his face.

However, Qiao Rui also looked at Liu Hao a little differently today, and Du Yuan agreed with one sentence.

I usually don't see that this Liu Hao can still play tricks.

Everyone knows that no one thinks that they are worse than others, Du Yuan also thinks so, he thinks that his ability is much greater than Liu Hao.

Since even Liu Hao was able to get the position of deputy general, Du Yuan took it for granted that he must be no worse.

Besides, Lei Bo and Chen Lan mentioned by Qiao Rui just now are also from bandits, so aren't they called generals who lead troops outside?

In terms of martial arts, although Du Yuan has never fought against Lei Bo and Chen Lan, he thinks that he is definitely not weak; In terms of power, he still has nearly 20,000 people under his command, which is also his bargaining chip.

Qiao Rui knew in her heart that since she didn't promise actual benefits to Du Yuan, she would be able to get help from the other party, so why not do it?

"Then I'll thank General Du below." Qiao Rui said.

Du Yuan waved his hand and said, "Since I have made a choice, General Qiao doesn't need to thank you, just remember that after the matter is completed, a few kind words will be said to Yuan Shu, oh, Yuan Gong." ”

Qiao Rui snorted and said, "That's certain, maybe when the time comes, someone in Qiao will still rely on General Du." ”

"Well said, well said, haha!" Du Yuan looked very happy, as if he was already the number one general under Yuan Shu's account.

"General Qiao, please go into the mountain." Du Yuan is in a very good mood now.

Qiao Rui frowned and said, "General Du, Zhao Qian's army is just outside the mountain, and it may attack at any time, why don't you discuss the plan to retreat the enemy first?" ”

"Haha!" Du Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and laughed, "General Qiao, don't worry, as long as you enter this Luohu Mountain, if there is no one to guide you, you won't be able to find the right path at all." ”

"Oh? Really? Qiao Rui is still a little worried.

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, when I entered the mountain just now, although someone led the way, it was also twists and turns, and I didn't remember much at all." ”

Qiao Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "This is very good, and there is General Laudu." ”

So, a few people who were originally on the same page walked to the mountains with a smile and a smile.

The happiest should be those ordinary Huaiyang sergeants, who finally don't have to fight, they can finally take a breather, they take heavy steps, follow the people of Luohu Mountain, and walk towards the mountain.

After a while, Qiao Rui, under the leadership of Du Yuan and others, came to the camp in the mountains.

Qiao Rui couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder General Du is confident, this way, if no one leads him, he will definitely not find where this place is." ”

Du Yuan laughed, very satisfied with Qiao Rui's evaluation, and said: "What is General Qiao's plan next, he will not nest in my village and never go out, right?" ”

Qiao Rui pondered for a moment and said: "At this time, it is not appropriate to act rashly, although we can resist Zhao Qian's army by virtue of the terrain, but if we let it break through Runan, we will fall into the siege of Zhao Qian, but even if the mountain road is difficult to find, we are also trapped in the mountains." ”

Du Yuan nodded and said, "General Qiao is worthy of being a general under Yuan Gong's account, and he is thoughtful when he thinks about things, so what should I do next?" ”

"Now it's only advisable to stand still, and then send out a detailed work to find out the military situation." Qiao Rui said, "Let's first figure out what the next purpose of Xu Chu and Taishi Cibu outside the mountain is. ”

"And then?" Du Yuan then asked.

"Then it is to contact the south of Ru, and send a request for help to Shouchun, unite and attack Zhao Qian together, and maybe we can achieve victory." Qiao Rui said, but he didn't even have much confidence in his heart.

Du Yuan thought for a moment, then looked at Bian Xi and Liao Hua, and after both of them had no objections, he nodded and said, "Okay, according to General Qiao's wishes, I will send someone out to inquire about the military situation." ”

"Thank you, General Du!" Qiao Rui thanked.

Du Yuan waved his hand and said: "General Qiao is polite, after many battles, compared to General Qiao, he is also tired, it is better to go and rest first, and after resting, it is not too late to make a plan to break the enemy." ”

After Du Yuan said this, Qiao Rui also felt a little tired, and no longer insisted, hugging his fists and saying: "There is General Lao Du." ”
