South of the West River, the camp of the Liu family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the sun was dusk, the camp gate was already wide open, and Liu Bao led a group of civil and military forces, all of whom were listed on the front line of the camp gate.
Just last night, according to Wang Gang's secret report, Liu Bao sent He Lian and his daughter to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to rob Zhang Yuan's 300,000 pieces of grain and grass.
With Wang Gang acting as the internal response, Liu Bao is determined to win this battle, and he estimates that at this time, his daughter should have taken this batch of grain and grass and walked on the way back.
Liu Bao's purpose in gathering everyone here was nothing more than to let them see with their own eyes that countless grains and grass were transported into the camp, so as to appease the hearts of the soldiers and dispel their speculation about the lack of food in the camp.
It was getting dark, and they didn't see even the title rouge coming back.
Liu Bao still looked confident, but he also secretly began to feel a little uneasy in his heart, thinking about why his daughter and the others hadn't returned, maybe there was some accident.
"Impossible, with Wang Gang doing the internal response, Rouge and Helian personally going out, there can never be an accident." Liu Bao comforted himself like this, his expression was still very confident.
Just when he was suspicious, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and under the light of the fire, a team of soldiers and horses hurried in.
Liu Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face was even more arrogant, and he said with a smile: "It must be that Rouge and they have come back triumphantly, and 300,000 grains and grass are in hand, so you don't have to worry about grain and grass anymore." ”
In the distance of the camp gate, the figure of the soldiers and horses gradually approached, looking at it, Liu Bao was confident and proud, but gradually gloomy.
What came back was not the victorious army he imagined, let alone a cartload of grain and grass, but a group of disgraced troops.
In the middle of the team, He Lian and his daughter, both of them were speechless, moving forward silently, and even the title rouge was even covered in blood, and they looked like they were colored.
Before the two of them approached, Liu Bao frowned and shouted, "Helian, where is the grain and grass?" ”
He Lian stepped forward gloomily, lowered his head and sighed, and said silently: "Back to the lord, I went to rob the grain with the young lady, but I didn't think that Zhang Yuan's ambush was missed, and the three thousand soldiers and horses were all lost, please punish the lord." ”
Liu Bao changed color in shock, and his arrogant face was instantly filled with an expression of disbelief.
He never thought that in this exquisitely planned battle of grain robbery, with Wang Gang as the internal response, he would even be ambushed by Zhang Yuan, and the three thousand elite soldiers were still dead and wounded?
Not only Liu Bao, but also the left and right people who were civil and military, all of them were stunned and discolored, and they were all shocked by this unexpected result.
Especially Liluo, his face was not only shocked, but also a little ashamed, as if he had guessed something.
"Why is this happening, why?" Liu Bao, who was at a loss, turned his head and asked them.
Liluo looked embarrassed, bowed his head and was silent for a while, after all, he supported this operation with all his might, and now that he has been defeated, he cannot escape responsibility.
Cheng Chu said with a solemn expression: "Lord, Deng guesses that we have fallen for Wang Gang's trick to surrender, and he has no intention of surrendering at all, but just using the pretext of offering grain as an excuse to lure us to rob the grain so as to ambush us." ”
Fraud!?
Liu Bao suddenly realized, and his resentful gaze shot at Liluo.
"There's no reason, Wang Gang has no reason to surrender by fraud, he made a clear return, Zhang Yuan beat Wang Gang heavily in front of more than a thousand people, how could he be a fraudulent?"
In fact, he also guessed that Wang Gang might be a fraud, but it was not a joke to take those thirty sticks, if Wang Gang really surrendered, but he was playing a bitter trick with his life, he didn't believe that Wang Gang had the guts.
"That public platform thinks, why can Zhang Yuan see through our plan and set up an ambush in advance, can he really anticipate things like a god?" Cheng asked coldly, with sarcasm hidden in his tone.
"Perhaps...... Perhaps......" Liluo stammered a few times, and his eyes lit up, "Maybe one of us secretly communicated with Zhang Yuan and revealed the secret to Zhang Yuan." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Lian Rouge seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "Father, when my daughter fought with that Zhang Yuan, the thief once said that sooner or later someone would dedicate his father's head to him, maybe among us, there are really spies who secretly communicate with Zhang Yuan." ”
When the words fell, Cheng Chu sneered, and said disapprerovitically: "The eldest lady is too worried, even if Zhang Yuan really has his chess pieces among us, how can he say it clearly, he is clearly playing a divisive plan, the eldest lady should not be gullible." ”
"That's not necessarily, maybe Zhang Yuan's treacherous plan succeeded, and he got carried away for a while, and he leaked his mouth." Liluo immediately sang the opposite tune with Cheng Chu.
In fact, he also felt in his heart that Zhang Yuan was using the title rouge to carry out a counter-plot, but he had to go against Cheng Cheng, otherwise if Wang Gang really surrendered, the responsibility for this defeat and miscalculation would have to be borne by him, and Cheng Cheng, who advocated acting cautiously, would take away Liu Bao's trust.
Liu Bao's face became more and more gloomy, and the suspicion in his eyes became heavier, obviously he was already inclined to a sluggish guess, and suddenly he turned back and swept towards the civil and military forces.
His eyes already have a kind of innate majesty, and now he is carrying suspicion, and suddenly glared at him like this, staring at everyone so much that they didn't dare to look down, he didn't do anything wrong, but he was also stared at and seemed to be a little weak-hearted.
Cheng Chu really couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but remind: "Lord, whether Zhang Yuan said that he leaked his mouth, or whether he was deliberately implementing a divisive plan, there is no solid evidence yet, if you doubt it like this, wouldn't it be a matter of putting everyone in danger for the big guy, but helping Zhang Yuan." ”
Liu Bao's body was slightly shocked, and he suddenly came to his senses, and the suspicion on his face suddenly subsided, and he returned to his domineering arrogance in a blink of an eye.
The corner of his mouth raised a sneer of disdain, flicked his hand lightly, and said disapprerovitically: "It's just that I lost a mere 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Liu Bao no longer pursued, and he was relieved, and hurriedly retreated, and the rest of the civil and military forces also dispersed, shouting and scolding the soldiers who gathered at the gate of the camp to watch the excitement and returned to their respective camps.
Liu Bao held his head high, and under the disappointed gaze of the soldiers, he pretended to calmly return to the big tent, as if nothing had happened.
Once in the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bao "snapped" and slapped the case hard.
He originally wanted to use the 300,000 grains and grass he had snatched to boost the morale of the soldiers, but he didn't expect that the grain and grass were not ushered in, but he ushered in the annihilation of the 3,000 elite soldiers, so that he made a big joke in front of the whole army, which greatly damaged his face, how could he not make him angry and ashamed.
Lian Rouge followed the step and put the big tent, looked at his father's disappointed and angry appearance, and said ashamedly: "Father, it was Rouge's defeat, the loss of the soldiers, and the loss of the prestige of the father." ”
After Liu Bao took a few deep breaths, he reluctantly bowed down in anger, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is not enough to worry about it, not to mention that Rouge, you fell into the ambush of that thief this time, no wonder you?" (To be continued.) )
