Chapter 152: Braised pork
When Sergeant Long heard that he was here to give a gift, he immediately looked at the other party carefully. I saw that except for Xiao He, there were only a few carts of grain and grass and a person tied to the car.
The sergeant of the garrison did not dare to slack off. While he made people more vigilant, he personally went to the dragon and passed it on.
After a while, the sergeant who had delivered the message returned. He gave an order to the sergeants beside him, and the door of the large camp opened.
A team of twenty people came out of the battalion, and they kept on guard while slowly approaching Xiao He's direction. After getting close to Xiao He's side, Xiao He and Zhang Liang were escorted into the camp, but the grain and grass were abandoned outside.
As soon as Xiao He entered the camp, he saw the dragon standing in front of the big tent. Not only was he armoured, but he was surrounded by sergeants.
"In Xia Xiao He, he is Liu Hou's subordinate. Today, I came to give gifts on the order of Liu Hou. Xiao He saw the dragon and said to himself.
As soon as Long He heard that the other party was here to give gifts, he immediately said to the sergeant beside him: "Come on, take this person down, and pull him to the gate at noon tomorrow and cut it." ”
When Xiao He heard this, he was about to defend himself, but it was Zhang Liang who laughed in the car first: "Hahahahaha, Xiao He!" You and Liu Bang even gave it to Xiang Yu to me, and now I know that the other party will not let you go, right?! It's a pity that I mistakenly thought that he Liu Bang was a rare hero, and he was actually a useless person who was afraid of Xiang Yu! You people who have no scheming and no courage are not enough to plan. ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's ridicule and abuse of Xiao He, Long He motioned to the sergeant to suspend the operation. His eyes kept wandering between Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and after seeing Zhang Liang's face full of anger and unwillingness, he asked Xiao He with a smile: "Why did Liu Bang give me a gift?" ”
As soon as Xiao He heard that the other party was asking him, he hurriedly pointed at Zhang Liang and replied: "My Liu Hou has no intention of going against General Xiang, in fact, he has already had the heart of surrender. It's just that people keep playing right and wrong and instigating it. It was the stupid act of resisting the general some time ago. I was ordered by Liu Hou to escort grain and grass here, but in fact, I took the opportunity to capture him and present him to the general. Tonight, while he was asleep, I ordered the soldiers to tie him up, lest it be too late, so I sent him overnight, and there was also grain and grass arranged by Liu Hou outside the camp. I also hope that the general will accept our army's invitation to surrender regardless of his previous suspicions. ”
Long He saw Xiao He's earnest words, and heard Zhang Liang's constant cursing, so he ordered the sergeant to go out to check the grain truck. After receiving a report from the sergeant that there was no abnormality in the grain and grass, he ordered the grain cart to be transported into the camp, and at the same time ordered the sergeant to strengthen his guard and not to relax. "Does Liu Bang really want to surrender? I've heard that this ovary is related to him. Isn't that a trick you're up to?! ”
Facing Long Ji's questioning, Xiao He replied with a sincere face: "I know that the general will be suspicious, but this person can't be faked." And the general of grain and grass has also been tested. There is nothing out of the ordinary. I, Xiao He, came alone, and I didn't even bring a single guard, which shows Liu Hou's sincerity. I hope the general will see clearly. ”
Long He kept pondering Xiao He's words. By this time, he had five points of belief. Then he asked: "Since Liu Bang is willing to surrender, what should he do with the sergeants on Hangu Pass?" ”
"Liu Hou has already ordered that as long as the general accepts my invitation to surrender, after the villain goes back, he will immediately lead the troops back to the army. Waiting for King Xiang to arrive. After Xiao He finished speaking, he bowed to the dragon. Extremely humble. He deliberately honored Xiang Yu as the king to show that he would give up Xianyang.
didn't wait for Long to answer, but suddenly heard Zhang Liang shouting: "Groveling, shameless and incompetent, do you think Xiang Yu will let you go?!" I'm waiting to see what happens to you. ”
Looking at Zhang Liang, who kept shouting and cursing, Long He smiled proudly. When he was young, he turned to Xiao He and said, "Since that's the case." I will report Liu Bang's request to surrender to General Xiang. Oh no, it's King Xiang! You can go back. Long He heard that Xiao He had already called Xiang Yu the king, and then changed his name. Zhang Liang, the only scruple he had to scruple about, had been tied up in front of him, for Liu Bang himself and his men. He didn't take it into his eyes at all.
Xiao He saw that the other party was already about to let him go, so he hurriedly said goodbye and turned to leave. But just after walking a few steps, he turned to Long and said: "General, Liu Hou still has an explanation, saying that he will send someone to send a wealth of silk to compensate for it, and I hope that the general will say a few more kind words in King Xiang's place."
When Long He heard Xiao He's words, he was even more disdainful of Liu Bang. He waved his hand to signal the other party to leave, and at the same time looked at Zhang Liang proudly, as if he was showing off his victory.
Xiao He looked at Zhang Liang, who was still tied to the car, and then said coldly: "Zhang Situ, you and I have known each other. If you can save your life, I will make amends to you for today's events. ”
Zhang Liang smacked in the direction of Xiao He, looking extremely disdainful of the other party. But at this time, he secretly praised Xiao He in his heart, if there was a film and television award at the end of Qin, he really wanted to give Xiao He a best actor.
After Xiao He left the camp, Long Ji ordered the sergeant to release Zhang Liang and put him into the big tent at the same time. He intends to interrogate him personally.
Although Zhang Liang was loosened, he was still subject to two sergeants. As soon as he entered the tent, Long Ji smiled and said to the generals in the tent: "Come and see, this is Zhang Situ, the butcher of the urn valley who assassinated the Qin Emperor in the past, Lord Zhang!" But now he is a prisoner under the ranks of my Chu army, like a lost dog, and can only be slaughtered. Hahahaha. “
For Long He's ridicule and ridicule, Zhang Liang chose to be silent, the only thing he was worried about at this time was whether Fan Hao and the others were already in place, and after meeting with Xiao He, it was time to break the dragon and camp.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was speechless, Long He looked even more proud. "What's wrong? Zhang Situ. What was the majesty of the Hangu Pass some time ago? You tried your best to prevent my army from entering the customs, but now Liu Bang not only sacrificed Xianyang with both hands, but also sent you like a pig and a dog. You're pathetic. ”
Seeing that the other party still had no intention of restraining, Zhang Liang simply sneered and replied: "Yes, I am indeed pitiful." I was so pitiful that I scared away an army of fifty thousand with only one jar of wine; I am pitiful enough to scare the battle-hardened Xiang Jiajun into a fart; I was even more pitiful to force a self-proclaimed general who was invincible in the world to retreat into a large camp, and was afraid every day. ”
Zhang Liang's every word was like a steel knife, which kept poking at Long Ji's heart again and again. At this moment, the dragon no longer had the pride and pride he had just now, and anger and mania occupied all his consciousness.
"You rotten Confucian Xiu is here to show off your tongue, if it weren't for King Xiang Zeng saying that he wanted to capture you alive, I would have broken your body into thousands of pieces!"
As soon as he heard that Xiang Yu wanted to catch himself alive, Zhang Liang suddenly felt a little relieved. He knew that his life was saved for the time being. But before he could thank the heavens, he heard Long He continue: "But King Xiang didn't tell you not to hurt you, I see that your tongue is very powerful, I will cut it off tonight, and see how you will play it in the future!" ”
As soon as Long Ji's words fell, everyone in the tent burst out laughing. At this time, Zhang Liang was bitter, he didn't expect this dragon to be a sadist. I saw that the other party had an extra short blade in his hand, and he was approaching him step by step. Looks like he's going to do it himself.
Zhang Liang watched the other party keep walking towards him, and he was already able to breathe flames in his eyes. When Long Ji's knife was raised in front of him, he intended to use all his last words to greet the other mother.
At the last moment, Zhang Liang's savior finally arrived.
After Fan Hao and the others arrived at the designated location, they waited anxiously for Xiao He. When Xiao He's figure appeared in everyone's sight, the three of them immediately ordered the sergeant to quickly release the arrow. It's not that they don't care about Zhang Liang's life and death, but they know that Zhang Liang will die for nine lives when the camp is burned; If you don't burn, Zhang Liang will definitely die!
Thousands of rockets lit up the night sky. They are like a huge fire phoenix, drawing a graceful arc in the night! When these dark night elves rained down into the Chu army camp, a violent explosion was immediately heard! Accompanied by a strong explosion and vibration, a sky-high flame erupted from the Chu camp. Originally, thousands of rockets were not enough to threaten the safety of the well-defended Chu Ying, but when they met with pine oil and gunpowder, they immediately became an invitation to my Hades King who was chasing souls! The tranquility of this silent night came to an end, and endless killing and wailing ensued.
The great change in the camp made everyone in the tent immediately stunned on the spot. A loud bang was followed by the cries and cries for help from the sergeants.
The dragon was all too familiar with the loud noise. Others may forget, but he can't, for that's exactly what the weapon that made him taste defeat for the first time sounded.
Violent shaking and impact lifted a corner of the tent. Zhang Liang did not let go of this golden opportunity, and in the first moment of Long He's hesitation, he kicked the opponent's vital point.
The advantage of knowing in advance how things would develop allowed Zhang Liang to strike first, after freeing himself from the shackles of the two sergeants who suppressed him. He immediately rushed out of the tent that had been opened.
The heat wave hit all corners of the camp, and tongues of fire continued to erode the lives of the sergeants.
Zhang Liang's ears kept echoing the cries and screams of the enemy sergeants for help. But he didn't have time to care about it at this time, and in the confusion, he snatched a war horse.
When he looked back at the main tent again, the dragon had been lifted out of the tent. At this time, he was covering his vital points in pain, staring at Zhang Liang angrily.
Seeing the other party's eyes and movements, Zhang Liang smiled and shouted: "In today's episode, let's talk about the method of braised pork!" Then he rode away at a gallop.
Looking at Zhang Liang who had fled, Long did not say anything. Pain and chagrin were written all over his face at this moment. Before he could give orders to the sergeants, something happened suddenly. Liu Bang's army has arrived!
The hatred of the enemy made Liu Bang's soldiers turn into hungry ghosts. A few days ago, if it had not been for the help of gunpowder, they would still have been ruthlessly attacked and slaughtered by the enemy, and they might even have been killed. But at this time, the butcher's knife was in their hands, and the right to conquer was on their side.
Long He looked at the camp that was engulfed in flames, and the soldiers who had been born and died fell in a pool of blood. Suddenly, he drew his sword and tried to atone for his death. But the sergeant beside him gave up his life to stop him and said, "General, don't! As long as we wait until King Xiang's army arrives, we will definitely be able to be ashamed. Quickly give the order to withdraw the troops! ”
Looking at the dead and wounded sergeants, looking at the camp that had been completely burned down, Long He gritted his teeth in resentment. After a few moments, he made the right choice. "Tell the whole army to retreat!!"
A night attack ended with a complete victory for Liu Bangjun. When Long Ji and the others escaped from the attack range, there were less than 3,000 soldiers left......
The morning sun sprinkled the light all over the land, and at the same time brought Xiang Yu's army to Long Ji's side! (To be continued.) )
