Chapter Seventy-Three: Between Life and Death (2)
In the courtyard, there were five rooms, but two of them had collapsed, and the remaining three were crumbling. There are several large and small holes in the courtyard wall, some of which can even be drilled into. Ren Guang tried to push open the door of a room, and with a sharp creak, a puff of dust poured out of the room.
"Young master, this place can't be lived!" Ren Guang walked around the room, walked back with a gloomy face, and said to Liu Xiu: "That Chen Mu, this is deliberately humiliating us!" ”
"Not really." Liu Xiu shook his head at Ren Guang, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "What good can it do him to humiliate me?" This is just a temporary place to prevent me from living in the barracks. ”
Then, he turned his face to look at Li Tong and smiled bitterly: "This Chen Mu seems to be a shrewd person." ”
"Yes......" Li Tong sighed lightly, walked to the well in the corner, and sat down on the edge of the well: "I have seen him once or twice before, but I really couldn't see it at that time." ”
"Young master, how do you say this?" Ren Guang followed and frowned and asked, "If he doesn't let us live in the barracks, what good can it do him?" ”
"Ren Guang, Ren Guang......" Liu Xiu stretched out his hand and patted Ren Guang's shoulder: "You can't even figure out such a simple truth?" Chen Mu, that guy...... I don't want Kunyang to be guarded! ”
"Afraid that Kunyang will be guarded?" Ren Guang frowned and was puzzled: "How could he not want Kunyang to be guarded?" ”
"Chen Mu is one of the leaders of the Pinglin Army, and even though the Pinglin soldiers have been subsumed into the Green Forest Army system, they still maintain relative independence, and only listen to the command of Chen Mu and Liao Zhan."
Liu Xiu said, picked up a small branch beside him, drew a big circle on the soil in front of him, and drew three small circles in the big circle: "Ren Guang, you see, this big circle outside is the Green Forest Army." The three small circles inside are the Pinglin soldiers, the Xiajiang soldiers, and our Chungling army. ”
Ren Guang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I don't know what Xia Jiangbing thinks. But judging from Chen Mu's performance today, their thoughts of the Pinglin family should have started to worry about the future. Previously, we had only defeated the army led by Wang Mu, and before we could even capture Wancheng, they were busy supporting Liu Xuan to become emperor, and they took all the power by themselves...... Of course, Chen Mu and Liao Zhan will be worried that they will be gradually hollowed out and lose their right to speak in the Green Forest Army. And in fact, if this situation continues, their fears are not out of the question. ”
"And at this moment, among the people who are surrounded in Kunyang, there is Wang Feng, our Xinhan Dasikong! If Kunyang is captured and Wang Feng is killed, it means that there is a crack in the system that has gradually solidified. Wang Kuang alone may not be able to continue to firmly suppress the remaining troops. At that time, the day will come when the lower river system will be raised. Speaking of this, Liu Xiu stretched out his foot and rubbed a gap in the big circle on the ground: "Kunyang is broken, which means that there is a gap in this big circle." Whether you can jump out of this big circle, or expand yourself within the big circle, only look at this opportunity! ”
"Yes...... The two troops of Pinglin and Xiajiang are completely different from us! Ren Guang was still puzzled, frowned and shook his head, and said suspiciously: "At that time, we were pursued by Wang Mu's army, and we had no choice but to rely on Wang Kuang and Wang Feng. But they ...... But he later took the initiative to join this alliance to fight against Wang Mu's 100,000 army. On that day, they were able to take the initiative to choose to unite, and now Wang Yi and Wang Xun are pressing the border with an army of 400,000, but they want to destroy this battle situation? If Kunyang is captured, there will be an unobstructed view to the south from now on, and there is no danger to defend, and they can be allowed to drive straight in. At that point, who will be spared? ”
"Never underestimate people's stupidity...... Liu Xiu stretched out his foot, erased all the patterns drawn on the ground, and sneered: "Even though I chose to unite in order to protect my own interests, when I realized that my interests had been damaged......
Ren Guang nodded, and continued to ask, "I understand." Can...... Let us live in the barracks, and what does it have to do with Kunyang being held? ”
"Except for our Chungling Army, which has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, and tried his best to suppress it, the other two factions have obtained a large number of recruits in the expansion after Huang Chunshui's first battle." Liu Xiu patiently explained to Ren Guang: "In this Dingling City, I am afraid that more than half of them are recruited soldiers. They joined the 'Green Forest Army', not the 'Pinglin Army'. Therefore, Chen Mu will naturally be worried, if we can incite them......"
"We? Just on us? Ren Guang's eyes widened and he looked at Li Tong in disbelief.
"Looks unlikely? But even if it is only the slightest possibility, Chen Mu must nip it in the bud, which can be called foolproof. Liu Xiu's tone also showed a hint of bitterness.
"So, in the current situation, what else can we do?" Liu Xiu sighed and looked at Li Daodao: "Chen Mu doesn't let us enter the barracks, we can't even reach the soldiers, how can we get reinforcements from Dingling?" ”
Several of them finally broke out of the city, and if they didn't get reinforcements, Kunyang would really fall.
When Liu Xiu and Ren Guang were talking, Li Tong kept his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes silently. Only then did he raise his head and look at Liu Xiu, with a strange look on his face.
"Li Tong?" Seeing that Li Tong still didn't speak, Liu Xiu urged a little anxiously.
"I ...... I don't know. ”
Li Tong stretched out his hands out of his sleeves, spread them out in front of him, lowered his head and looked blankly: "I have been calculating just now, but the result is ......"
"What is it?" It was the first time Liu Xiu had seen Li Tong with such a look on his face.
"What are we...... You don't have to do ......" Li Tong raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu, as if he had seen a ghost: "As long as we stay in Dingling with peace of mind, after three days, we will be able to control the military power of Dingling and bring reinforcements to Kunyang." ”
"What...... Don't even have to do it? Liu Xiu's eyes widened: "You mean, we wait here for three days, and then Chen Mu will honestly hand over the military power to us, and let us take his men and horses to save Kunyang?!" ”
"Sounds incredible, doesn't it? But no matter how many times I calculated just now, I got the same result......" Li Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This time, even I doubt the hexagram I calculated......"
"I ...... Or choose to believe you. Liu Xiu thought for a while, patted Li Tong's shoulder lightly, and gave him a firm smile: "After all, before this, your hexagram had never made a mistake. Even on the day we failed to attack Wancheng, you were still right. So ......"
"So let's wait three days in peace!"
