Chapter 37: Human Nature

The battle outside the city immediately alarmed the Yuan army sentry in the city, and the news was transmitted back to the Lei Bo camp as soon as possible.

Lei Bo's department was originally stationed at the south gate of Longkang, and after Yu Linwei came back yesterday morning, he was stationed at the south gate nearby, while Lei Bo was moved by Ji Ling to the west gate and stationed with Chen Lan.

The north gate is guarded by Lu Mian, while the east gate is the defense area of Ji Ling's department.

"General, Gongzi's army has already fought with the Jiangdong Army!" The dark whistle knelt on the ground to report.

"Okay, Yuan Wei Xiao'er is really dying now!" Lei Bo slammed the knot, and shouted to Chen Lan, who was sitting under him, "Brother Xian, without further ado, you and my brother will act separately." ”

Chen Lan persuaded: "Brother, if you wait any longer, it's not too late to wait for Yuan to fight with Sun Ce for a while." ”

"If you wait for Yuan No, Xiao'er will be defeated, and you and my brother will have no chance!" Lei Bo said disappreciatively, "Could it be that Brother Cheng Xian thinks that Yuan Xiao'er can still hold on to Sun Ce for half a day?" ”

"Well, let's do it." Chen Lan nodded, and then told Lei Bo to say, "But brother, you must not take the initiative to provoke Lu Mian, if you can not turn your face with Lu Mian, it is better not to turn your face as much as possible." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Lei Bo waved his hand and said, "You just need to attack Ji Ling as soon as possible and rescue the general, the queen and the crown prince. ”

"Brother don't worry, little brother will take care of it." Chen Lan waved at Lei Bo and turned around.

Lei Bo tightened the armor on his body, and he also came out of the big tent proudly.

In the open space outside the tent, five hundred soldiers and horses had gathered at this moment.

Lei Bo originally had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses under his account, but in order to ensure that Chen Lan could attack and kill Ji Ling in one fell swoop, Lei Bo lent half of the soldiers and horses under his account to Chen Lan, and only 500 soldiers and horses were left by his side.

With 500 soldiers and horses against Lu Mian's 2,000 soldiers and horses, it was still quite difficult.

Fortunately, it is not necessary to fight with Lu Mian, if it is just surveillance, five hundred soldiers and horses are barely enough.

Lei Bo turned his head and glanced at Chen Lan's camp less than a hundred steps away, only to see that the Chen Lan camp was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he could faintly hear the neighing of horses.

The cronies and soldiers brought the war horse over, Lei Bo turned over and shouted in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go to the north gate!" ”

Lei Bo gave an order, and five hundred soldiers and horses chewed their horses and horses, and silently touched towards the north gate.

Lei Bo's troops marched against the city wall, all the way unimpeded, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they reached the outside of Lu Mian's camp.

At night, I saw that Lu Mian's camp was dead silent, there were only a few bonfires lit sporadically in the camp, and even a team of patrolling sentries was not, and there were guards on the guard towers on both sides of the gate, but several guards were obviously asleep, and they leaned on the guardrail and didn't move for a long time, which was defenseless at all.

A fierce look immediately surged in Lei Bo's eyes.

Later, as soon as Chen Lan's side makes a move, Lu Mian's side will definitely be alarmed, rather than facing Lu Mian's 2,000 soldiers and horses and being beaten without the power to fight back, it is better to give Lu Mian a ruthless blow now, even if he can't defeat Lu Mian, he will also be disabled, so that the pressure will be much less later.

Lei Bo thought of it, and immediately rushed to Lu Mian's camp with five hundred soldiers and horses.

A moment later, Lei Bo's headquarters had already approached the gate, and the guards on the guard tower still did not react.

Lei Bo ordered his subordinates to vacate five war horses, and locked the gate with hooks, and the sergeant suddenly waved the whip, and the five war horses threw off their four hooves and galloped forward, and the not very strong gate was pulled to the ground.

Lei Bo smiled cruelly, and then pulled out the ring head knife and led it forward, and the five hundred soldiers and horses behind him swarmed in from the gate.

Lei Bo swarmed into Lu Mian's camp with five hundred soldiers and horses, but what made Lei Bo extremely puzzled was that such a big movement of him had not alarmed Lu Mian's troops.

The thunderbolt that rushed ahead quickly overturned a tent.

However, the tent that was supposed to be full of people turned out to be empty!

"Well, what's going on?" Lei Bo's face was full of disbelief.

"General, there's no one in the tent!"

"General, there's no one here!"

"General, the tents are all empty!"

"General, the guards on the watchtower are straw-tied dummies!"

The reports of his subordinates came back to Lei Bo one after another.

Lei Bo's first reaction was that he had fallen for the trick, and he had fallen for Lu Mian's trick!

But what puzzled Lei Bo was that he had already been tricked, why didn't he see Lu Mian's ambush yet?

When Lei Bo was puzzled, a fire suddenly rose in the direction of the county office, and then the sound of killing was everywhere, Lei Bo reacted immediately and shouted: "It's not good, Lu Mian probably went to the county office!" This thief really colluded with Ji Ling, hurry, pass on a certain general's order, quickly, go to the county government to support General Chen Lan. ”

By the time Lei Bo arrived with five hundred soldiers and horses, the county government had already been beaten into a pot of porridge.

I don't know who set fire to the houses around the county office, but I saw the flames soaring into the sky.

In the bright firelight, I saw that Chen Lan's soldiers and horses were already fighting with Lu Mian's men and horses.

Lei Bo didn't think about it, and immediately joined the battle group with five hundred men and horses, and launched an attack on Lu Mian's flank, and Lu Mian also divided a team of soldiers and horses to resist Lei Bo.

(Dividing Line)

Behind the wall of the county government, Ji Ling and Jin Shang were hidden in the shadows of the fire, watching coldly.

"Sure enough, Childe got it!" Ji Ling said with admiration, "I thought that Lu Mian and Lei Bo would raise troops to make trouble as Gongzi expected, but at least there would be a sequence in time, but I didn't expect them to arrive at the same time, I really can't wait?" But it's better that way, and we're going to save you trouble. ”

Jin Shang sighed and said: "After tonight, our Yuan clan's strength will be reduced by at least forty percent, and I am afraid that the situation will be even more difficult in the future." ”

"So-and-so doesn't see it that way." Ji Ling shook his head and said, "After tonight, although our Yuan clan's troops are less, their combat power will only be stronger, because there are fewer people with ghosts in their hearts, and the soldiers' minds are more aligned, and now that there is a son leading the army, my Yuan clan will definitely be prosperous again!" ”

"ZTE again?" Jin Shang shook his head and said, "The general is too optimistic. ”

"It's not that I'm optimistic, but I'm pessimistic." Ji Ling said.

Jin Shang didn't argue either, and said, "Then let's wait and see." ”

The two turned their heads and saw that outside the county office, the melee between Lu Mian and Lei Bo and Chen Lan was even more intense.

A moment ago, Lu Mian was still dividing his troops to attack the county yamen, but now, under the attack of Lei Bo and Chen Lan, Lu Mian was already tired of coping, and he could no longer draw troops to attack the county yamen.

Ji Ling's department, which was responsible for guarding the county government, turned out to be a bystander.

(Dividing Line)

The city of Longkang has been beaten into a pot of porridge, but there is a dead silence outside the north gate.

Outside the north gate is a rolling hilly area covered with lush green bamboos.

At this moment, Yuan Que is carrying his hands behind his back, standing on the temporary sentry tower built with green bamboo, looking down at Longkang City, this sentry tower is built on the top of a hill, the height of the hill plus the height of the sentry tower is enough to make Yuan Que see the situation in Longkang City clearly, of course, can only look at a rough idea.

Yuan had a whim, if only he could have a telescope.

However, in this era, it is impossible to make glass.

But it is still possible to polish a few telescopes with natural crystal, and when you arrive in Hebei, you have to find craftsmen to build a few anyway, and the military significance of the telescope is really self-evident.

The thin bamboo watchtower suddenly "crunched" and "creaked".

Then a grown figure climbed up the sentry tower along the bamboo ladder, but it was Xu Sheng, who had disappeared all afternoon.

Yuan turned around and saw that it was Xu Sheng, and asked casually, "Wen Xiang, how are you preparing?" ”

"It's all ready." Xu Sheng stood behind Yuan Nuo according to the handle of the knife, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Childe, something is unknown." ”

Yuan Wei felt that the night wind was blowing a little cold on his body, so he pulled the big coat from behind him and wrapped his whole body, and then said to Xu Sheng: "Do you want to ask, why did Lu Mian, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan fight so rashly?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Sheng said, "Zhang Niucal's side has just started, Lu Mian, Lei Bo and Chen Lan can't wait to follow the rebellion, aren't they afraid, this is just a trap set by you, Gongzi?" A trap that lures them into attacking each other? ”

"They're really not afraid." Yuan Wei sneered, "Because they haven't learned the power of this son!" ”

Xu Sheng said puzzledly: "Gongzi first defeated the Cao army, and then defeated the Jiangdong army, and even Tai Shici, the number one general under Sun Ce's account, was captured by Gongzi, so they are not afraid at all?" ”

Yuan Wei smiled: "This is due to human nature. ”

"Humanity?" Xu Sheng frowned, obviously not quite understanding.

"Wen Xiang, have you ever heard of the mindset?" Yuan didn't realize that it was inappropriate until he said it, and the word mindset would not appear until two thousand years later, so how did Xu Sheng hear about it? So he immediately said, "I don't think you've heard of it, but you know another way of saying it, and that's preconceived!" ”

"Preconceived? The allusion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the three cypress trees has been heard. Xu Sheng said, "Childe is saying that Lu Mian and they have preconceived ideas?" ”

"That's right, Lu Mian, Lei Bo and Chen Lan are imprisoned by preconceived thinking." Yuan Nuo smiled, and said coldly, "In their impression, this son is still the same Yuan Nuo before, the eldest son who doesn't even dare to speak loudly, you say, will they take this son in their eyes?" ”

Xu Sheng turned his head to look at the firelight in the city and said, "It seems that they really didn't take Gongzi seriously. ”

Yuan Wei smiled hideously, and said in a calm tone: "This son will use cruel facts to tell them the truth that they should be impressed by the truth of three days." ”
