"I, I, I'm not there, dreaming, right?" Xiahou Yuan shook his head violently, wasn't it yesterday morning that the two of them separated?
"General, no, there are a large number of Shu troops around us, and there are so many enemies!" Zhu Ling cried with a sad face, and first told Xiahou Yuan that there was danger outside.
"Grain, grain? Tell me where the food goes! Xiahou Yuan rushed over, lifted Zhu Ling up, and asked desperately.
"The food has been stolen by the enemy!" Zhu Ling didn't dare to look at Xiahou Yuan, lowered his head and cried and pleaded guilty.
"Ahh Xiahou Yuan felt that his eyes were dark, let go of the hand that grabbed Zhu Ling, covered his face tightly, turned around, and tears were about to fall.
Zhu Ling hurriedly knelt down again: "General, there are so many enemies, at least more than 10,000, let's hurry up and defend it, but don't let them attack Xiacheng again." β
"Where is the enemy!" Xiahou Yuan let go of his hand and asked Zhu Ling loudly, these hateful guys, I'm going to kill them all!
Zhu Ling hurriedly replied: "That's it, it's fifty miles outside the city." Last night, while we were staying there for the night, we were attacked by a large army of sub-enemies. Although we tried our best to resist and try to kill the enemy and keep the food, there were so many enemies that we could not count them all over the mountains. I had no choice but to withdraw with the rest of the sergeants first, or it was important to keep the next guard first. β
Is there really that much of an enemy? Didn't the prime minister personally lead a large army to fight them in Hanzhong? On the other side of the road, we also have heavy defenses at various intersections, how can we let so many enemies rush here? Could it be that you came from the Yin Ping Trail? That's not right, it's also our place over there, it's impossible for tens of thousands of enemy troops to run so far and not find out?
Sima Guohuai, a subordinate of Xiahou Yuan, was a little skeptical of Zhu Ling's words, so he asked: "General Zhu is really unfortunate to suffer this catastrophe, but I am afraid that most of his subordinates have already suffered casualties, right?" Hey, general, please take care of yourself. β
With so many enemies, how could Xiahou Yuan despise them, and he hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers are left?" β
"About 1,200 people." After Zhu Ling answered, he suddenly found that this question was very hurtful, no matter how much he came back, it seemed that he couldn't explain it.
Sure enough, Guo Huai immediately expressed his opinion: "No, according to General Zhu, it was surrounded by tens of thousands, oh, no, more than 10,000 enemy ambushes, how could it be possible to lead so many people to escape back?" β
Well said, makes sense! Xiahou Yuan immediately glared angrily and asked Zhu Ling to give an explanation.
Although Zhu Ling also feels that something is wrong now, he can't admit it when he is killed: "It's really all the Shu army, led by Shu generals Huang Zhong and Wei Yan." They were all wearing the uniforms of the Shu army, and there were some people wearing colorful clothes, which they had never seen before, and their faces seemed to be smeared with oil paint, like ghosts. Many of the sergeants were terrified. β
Xiahou Yuan frowned and looked at Guo Huai.
Zhang Ji spoke on the seat: "I heard that Liu Beiping Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang led Wei Yan and other small groups of people, wearing strange flower clothes, from the mountains where there is no road, bypassed Yang Ang's camp and successfully attacked successfully, it seems that this time it is also a repeat of the old trick, and a small number of enemies secretly smuggled to our vicinity." β
Guo Huai also hurriedly answered: "That's it, I think it's just a small group of enemies." General Zhu, you may have fallen for the enemy. β
Zhu Ling was unconvinced: "Zhuge Liang led Wei Yan to attack Hanzhong, didn't he say that there were still five or six thousand people in most of them?" This time, can you be sure that Zhuge Liang is also here? β
Guo Huai affirmed: "A force of 10,000 people wants to come from Hanzhong all the way here, it is impossible." β
Xiahou Yuan asked, "Then how did so many enemies come from in his eyes?" β
"Maybeβshouldβthey contacted the local mob!" Guo Huai thought about it, "Yes, anyway, they are non-combatants, otherwise, they have so many people, or a secret attack, they can completely rush up, General Zhu They want to escape, but I'm afraid it's not so easy." β
Zhu Ling still wanted to express his disbelief: "It looks like you saw it with your own eyes there." β
"You're enough!" Xiahou Yuan yelled at Zhu Ling, if it weren't for Zhu Ling's relatively high official position, he wouldn't have the power to execute such an official on his own, so he really wanted to cut him down now!
"Someone's coming! Let the soldiers assemble! Xiahou Yuan did things simply, and pointed at Zhu Ling again, "You! Take your people and lead us to the scene! Try to catch that little enemy as soon as possible and cut it down! β
In addition, he instructed Guo Huai: "You! Hurry up and take someone to search the surrounding villages! Bring me back all the food they stook, and arrest all the mobs for me! β
Guo Huai carefully persuaded: "General, you still have to be cautious, it was just speculation just now, haven't you figured out how many enemies there are now?" It's better to be careful. β
Just guess what, push Lao Tzu into the pit with all his life! Zhu Ling stole his eyes at Guo Huai.
Xiahou Yuan waved his hand: "Okay, you are responsible for guarding the city to prevent the enemy from sneaking up and causing trouble, and I will lead people to exterminate those Shu troops who have secretly come!" β
Guo Huai hurriedly nodded and agreed: "It's best for the general to be divided into front and rear teams, in case there is really an enemy ambush, there will also be a rear army to respond." β
Xiahou Yuan had already walked out: "That's natural, I'll lead the cavalry to travel first, and then the infantry will follow." β
Quickly gathered a thousand cavalry, Xiahou Yuan asked Zhu Ling to follow his few dozen remaining cavalry in the front line, and let two thousand foot soldiers follow behind quickly.
All the knights followed Xiahou Yuan all the way to beat their horses and gallop, speed is speed, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where they separated from Zhu Ling yesterday morning. Xiahou Yuan was touched by emotion, and scolded Zhu Ling again: "Yesterday, I told the patrol sergeant to report, saying that there seem to be people running around the mountain recently, telling you to be careful." Are you going to fart when Lao Tzu? Say, did you send someone to the mountains on either side last night to inspect them first? Did you send out a sentry? β
Zhu Ling also thought about the feeling of being free from the sea of bitterness when he was here yesterday, and now it seems that the sea of bitterness is endless, and he only shirked and said, "I asked the sergeant guarding that checkpoint." They said they had gone to the mountains to see it, and there was nothing unusual. β
Anyway, those guys should all be dead, and there is no proof of death.
Xiahou Yuan said this, but the horsewhip in his hand did not stop, and the horsemen still advanced forward like the wind.
Soon, he arrived at the place where Zhu Ling was attacked last night, and saw the corpses of Cao Jun all over the ground, as well as several destroyed grain trucks, and there were even some bones scattered in this place. Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked people to pick it up and check it, but it turned out to be a cow bone that had been shaved off.
Xiahou Yuan was full of grief from his heart, full of hatred, and shouted at the mountains on both sides: "You beasts! How dare you kill my soldiers, rob my grain, and eat my cattle! Where are you? Get out of here! I'm going to skin you and cut your bones!" (To be continued.) )
