Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Black Cauldron of Life
The moonlight was cold and the night was lonely, Xue Yulong sat alone in the big tent, frowning and listening to the noise outside the tent.
The rebels' attack on the Firehead Army happened again tonight, and I don't know how much loss the Firehead battalions will have this time. Caozhou, which is close to the rebels, if the Huotou army suffers heavy losses, it may not be easy to replenish it, and if it is not done well, it will affect the morale of the army.
The chaotic sound outside the tent gradually stopped, and a deputy general with blood-stained armor walked into the tent quickly: "General, the thieves have all been captured." ”
"What about the losses?"
"General Yu, fortunately, the moon number warned in advance, and the patrol officers found it in time, this enemy sneak attack did not cause too many casualties, only seven firehead soldiers were killed, and eleven people were injured."
"Huh-" The boulder in his heart fell to the ground, Xue Yulong let out a sigh, but in an instant, he was furious: "Bastard! Is this general's battalion so unbearable, he actually let this thief come and go freely! If it weren't for the thief's intentions, General Ben would not have enough eight lives! ”
The adjutant general hurriedly said: "The general is angry, the general has found out at the end of tonight's incident, it is the night patrol captain who colluded with the thieves and secretly let the thieves into the camp." The thieves were defeated and besieged, and both he and the thieves were killed. ”
"Sure enough, there is still internal annihilation!" Xue Yulong gritted his teeth and said, "Have you ever found out if he still has a party?" ”
The adjutant general shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be, it's just ......"
"If you have something to say, why bother to divide it, don't you know what this general is like?"
The adjutant general hesitated slightly, clenched his fists and said: "General, the last general thinks that the matter of entering Caozhou will be announced tomorrow, please think deeply about it." ”
The forward battalion was the pioneer of the Right Route Army, and it always maintained a half-day journey with the army. According to the march of the Right Route Army, it is said that it will enter the boundary of Caozhou in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very likely to encounter the rebels.
Tonight, the rebels suddenly sent people to infiltrate the camp and colluded with the camp in a vain attempt to attack and kill the firehead battalions again, proving that the rebels had already noticed the forward battalion. Therefore, he suggested waiting for the army to catch up, and then report the matter to the general Xue Song, and then enter Caozhou.
To put it more directly, because the forward battalion was targeted by the rebels, the deputy general was worried that after entering the territory of Caozhou, the forward battalion would be ambushed by the rebels. If the army is unable to rescue, the forward battalion of only 3,000 may suffer heavy losses after encountering an ambush.
After listening to the adjutant general's suggestion, Xue Yulong chuckled and said, "Are you afraid?" ”
The adjutant general argued with a red face: "The last general has no such intention!" ”
"General Ben believes you are not the coward. General Ben was ordered to lead the forward battalion and kill Caozhou. After entering the territory of Shandong, the enemy army has been absent until the night. Now that General Ben is going to attack the rebel Caozhou's lair, they finally can't bear it anymore and are about to attack.
Hehe, what General Ben is waiting for is for them to make a move! As long as they dare to do it, it will be their end! Xu Lang listens to orders! ”
"The last general!"
"Order all battalions, tighten their vigilance, and set off normally tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!"
Just when the deputy general Xu Lang was about to leave the big tent to give the order, Xue Yulong suddenly stopped him: "You said that tonight is the number of the moon to warn in advance?" Who discovered the thief first? What about the loss of the month number? ”
"General Yu, it was the firehead general Xie Ming who was the first to discover the thief. Tonight, the moon did not suffer losses, but captured and killed two thieves. ”
Hearing that it was Xie Ming who first discovered the thief, Xue Yulong's face showed a hint of disappointment, but when he heard it, he suddenly became interested again: "The Yuezi Huotou Army captured and killed two thieves?" Interesting. Xie Ming, the firehead general of the month, came to see him! ”
After breakfast, the forward battalion set off, and the Huotou battalion was the most troublesome, and there were too many miscellaneous things to be loaded.
Xie Ming, the firehead general of the month, seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and commanded his firehead army with five and six drinks, even Yang Ping'an and An Lushan did not let go.
Power is the most addictive, and An Lushan is the best example, although his current power is negligible.
Facing Xie Ming's arrogance towards him and Yang Ping'an, An Lushan looked annoyed. In the past few days, he and Yang Ping'an have been like masters in the month, they don't have to do anything, and no one dares to provoke them, and Xie Ming, who has removed the gauze for a few days, does not dare to instruct them to work.
But now Xie Ming has changed, and he asked Yang Ping'an and An Lushan to do that early in the morning. If there had not been a two-on-twenty-six group fight in Yuezihao, An Lushan would definitely have been honest and did not dare to object, but now it is different.
"What did you just say?" After seeing the advantage of a hard fist, An Lushan did not flinch when facing Xie Ming and the others. But Xie Ming no longer backed down, and said with a cold smile: "Why, if you want to disobey the general's order, you can't do it!" ”
"Bah, isn't it just a firehead general, you really think of yourself as a general!"
"Fat man, don't you want to commit the next crime again and disobey the army's orders!"
Hearing this, Yang Ping'an grabbed An Lushan, who was about to make a move, and smiled at Xie Ming: "It seems that people who have good scars are really easy to forget the pain!" ”
Xie Ming's face changed greatly: "Yang Ping'an, I warn you, you and An Fatzi are both the Yuezi Huotou Army, and I am the Yuezi Huotou General." If you two dare to disobey orders and delay the army's journey, even ten heads will not be enough to cut off! ”
How did this product suddenly become confident? Could it be something to do with last night's events? Yang Ping'an pulled An Lushan away, packing up according to Xie Ming's order, but he kept thinking in his heart.
He guessed correctly, Xie Ming's change was indeed related to last night's incident.
Although Xie Ming didn't dare to provoke Yang An and the others recently, he never forgot the hatred in his heart. Last night, he got up to pee, and he had no intention of breaking through the rebels and sending people to attack, thus making a contribution.
After seeing Xue Yulong, he truthfully told the two men in black that they were captured and killed, and did not take any credit.
The two men in black died at the hands of Yang Ping'an and An Lushan. To say that it was also the fate of these two black-clothed people, who originally fled outward, and accidentally found Yang Ping'an and the others hiding behind the wooden pier. wanted to piggyback on his hands to get rid of the two firehead soldiers, but he was captured and killed by Yang Ping'an and the others.
In fact, Yang Ping'an didn't want to provoke them, he had always been thinking about escaping from the barracks, and he was not very close to the rest of the Yuezi Army, if the men in black escaped from the camp from their side, they would not stop them.
But the other party regarded them as an add-on, and planned to take the lives of the two of them when they fled. This made Yang Ping'an and An Lushan have to fight hard, each twitching a wooden stick, and fighting with the two men in black. Seeing this, the other man in black turned back and attacked Xie Ming.
After nearly two months of training in the military camp, Yang Ping'an's body has become much stronger, Bajiquan has also made great progress, the cross strength has been completed, and the dark energy is also faintly felt. In the face of the man in black, he did not fall behind at all, if it weren't for the fact that he was practicing with the man in black, the man in black would have fallen into the disadvantage.
An Lushan is different from him. At the moment of life and death, this fat man burst out with amazing ability, a stick of wooden sticks whirring wind, although there is no discipline, but the vigor and flexibility that are seriously inconsistent with his posture, as well as the strength of the strong and heavy, the opponent is embarrassed.
Afterwards, Yang Ping'an learned from An Lushan Pass that his flexibility and vigor were subtly learned when he saw wild beasts fighting on the grassland when he was young and in the process of fighting with wild beasts for a long time.
Fighting with wild beasts, the slightest mistake will cost you your life. When An Lushan was young, in order to have enough to eat, he had to go to the grassland to hunt wild beasts, and he even had the experience of fighting wolves alone to tear the wolf king and scare off the wolves.
Therefore, An Lushan, who has never practiced martial arts, has learned from nature and formed a set of his own kung fu in the most primitive but extremely effective way, without any rules.
He quickly knocked out his opponent. The man in black who was fighting with him was accidentally flashed behind him by him, and a wooden stick smashed on the cover of the heavenly spirit, killing him on the spot.
After that, An Lushan kindly came to help Yang Ping'an, and hit the second man in black on the head with a stick, resulting in his surname.
Seeing this, the third man in black, who had already driven Xie Ming to a dead end, did not dare to fight again. dared to quickly escape from the moon before Yang Ping'an and An Fatzi joined the siege, but they were surrounded by the soldiers of the forward battalion.
When reporting to Xue Yulong, Xie Ming did not take the credit, and bluntly said that Yang Ping'an and An Lushan were powerful. In fact, he didn't have a good heart, and as soon as he said these words, he expressed his suspicions about Yang Ping'an and An Lushan.
An Lushan is a Hu person, and he can't be trusted. And Yang Ping'an has just come to the barracks, he has the temperament of a scholar and a good martial arts, but he is a cook, isn't this worth doubting?
In addition, when the man in black sneaked into the moon number, Yang An and the others were outside the tent, what is the reason why the three men in black didn't attack them first?
After some "affectionate and reasonable" instigation, seeing Xue Yulong's uncertain face, Xie Ming knew that his opportunity had come. Sure enough, Xue Yulong ordered him to spy on Yang An and the others, but if he found out, he immediately reported it.
This is equivalent to receiving Shang Fang's sword, and Xie Ming will not be afraid of Yang An and the others. As long as the time is ripe, he will plant some charges on the two of them, and then Xue Yulong can behead the two.
The 3,000 soldiers and horses of the forward battalion set off one after another, and the six Huotou battalions were the last, among which the Yuezi was the last to leave.
After several carts were loaded with the belongings of the Yuezi number, Xie Ming jumped on the cart with the only two horses drawn by the horse, pointed to the two large iron pots left on the ground, and commanded Yang Ping'an and An Lushan: "You two carry it on your back!" ”
"You can put it in the car, why do you want me to carry it!" An Lushan, who had a fight with Xie Ming, had a significant change in temper.
The pot of the barracks pays attention to two words, one word is big, and one word is heavy. Yang Ping'an and An Lushan were still carrying their bags and some odd and miscellaneous items, and the weight was not light. Coupled with those two large iron pots that can fit into one person, the hard work can be imagined.
Xie Ming's eyes widened: "What, Fat Man, are you going to disobey?" Do you want me to ask General Xue Xiao to judge justice? ”
"You ......" An Lushan still wanted to argue, but Yang Ping'an pulled his arm and said with a smile: "No problem, isn't it just two big black pots." Fatty, you and I have one bite at a time. ”
Silly bird, this black cauldron, if you don't get it right, it will become a life-saving black cauldron!
