Chapter 780: The History of Pingzhou's Thorn
Murong Ping's henchman colonel, after leaving the Pu Jian camp, always felt that something was wrong, the six Jin army cavalry were very abnormal, which showed that the Jin army's envoy must still be in the Pu Jian army camp, so he immediately returned to Lukou City and went straight to Murong Ping's Chinese army tent.
"General, general, there are six Jin cavalry outside General Pu's camp, and from the time the last general enters the camp until he leaves, the six cavalrymen have been there." As soon as the henchman colonel entered Murong Ping's Chinese army tent, he hurriedly reported.
Murong Ping was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "So, Pu Jian and the Jin army have colluded in private, who did the Jin army send into Pu Jian's camp?" After speaking, he looked at the henchman colonel.
The little colonel clenched his fists and replied truthfully: "General Qiyu, the last general entered General Pu's camp and did not find the envoy of the Jin army, the last general specially asked, but General Pu said that the envoy had been eliminated, but the last general felt that this may not be the truth, maybe General Pu really colluded with the Jin army." ”
Murong Ping frowned deeply, looked at the henchman in front of him, and said loudly: "You immediately lead a team of elite soldiers to ambush halfway from General Pu's camp to the Jin army's camp, and once you find out that the Jin army is leaving, immediately arrest them, remember, try to catch them alive." ”
"Yes, General, the Admiral understands." The henchman colonel clenched his fists and took the order, and immediately left Murong Ping's Chinese army tent and went to prepare.
At this time, it was the third watch in the middle of the night, and Murong Ping's henchman Colonel led a team of elite men and horses to ambush on the road from the Pu Jianjun camp to the Jin army camp, and waited for Zhuge Xiong's arrival.
Zhuge Xiong is strong in martial arts and does not plan to let Pu Sheng escort him. But since it was Pu Jian's kindness, it was not easy to refuse, so under the escort of Pu Sheng, he slowly ran towards the Jin army camp.
Along the way, Zhuge Xiong talked with Pu Sheng from time to time, but Pu Sheng seemed very rude and arrogant, and he didn't take Zhuge Xiong in his eyes at all, which made Zhuge Xiong feel so boring.
"General, the cavalry of the Jin army is coming. There seems to be a horse under General Pu in the back. "I saw that the torches in the distance far exceeded the number of cavalry of the Jin army. A soldier said.
The confidant colonel said in a low voice: "In this way, General Pu really colluded with the Jin army. ”
"General, what are we going to do now?" The soldier asked.
"Get ready to strike. Capture them all. "Confidant Colonel. Said softly.
Zhuge Xiong and Pu Sheng, who were slowly marching, suddenly felt a threat around them. After all, in the presence of ambushes, the surrounding environment is so quiet.
"There was an ambush. Prepare for battle. Zhuge Xiong reminded loudly.
"Kill ......" As soon as Zhuge Xiong's words fell, a team of men and horses sent by Murong Ping came out of the ambush.
"Kill, kill them all." Pu Sheng yelled and rushed forward, he was already dissatisfied with Murong Ping, so when he saw the soldiers under Murong Ping, he was extremely red-eyed.
The 100 men and horses sent by Murong Ping and the 50 men and horses under Pu Sheng's command fought together, and Zhuge Xiong and several guards under his command naturally joined the battle group.
Although it was a fight in the dim night, the two warring sides could still see each other clearly, Murong Ping's henchman Xiaoxiao knew Pu Sheng, and he also knew how powerful Pu Sheng was, and when he saw that his men and horses were beheaded by Pu Sheng one by one, he was very frightened, so he took advantage of the chaos to flee in the direction of Lukou City.
Pu Sheng and Zhuge Xiong fought for a while, killing most of the team sent by Murong Ping, and forcing the remaining men and horses to scatter and flee.
"Haha! Thanks to General Pu Xiao today, thank you, thank you. Zhuge Xiong clenched his fists and thanked Pu Sheng.
Gamo held his head high, and his mouth let out a slight snort of pride.
"Little General, the soldier who escaped just now will definitely report to Murong Ping, let's go back quickly!" A soldier looked at Gamo and whispered.
"If you're afraid of a bird, we'll kill as many as they come." Pu Sheng didn't seem to care, and continued to escort Zhuge Xiong in the direction of the Jin army camp, until Zhuge Xiong was safely returned to the Jin army camp, and then rode his horse back to the Pu Jian army camp.
In the camp of the Jin army, Hua'an has not rested, after all, Zhuge Xiong is his henchman general, but now in order to stabilize Pu Jian's personal entry into the enemy camp, this makes Hua'an's heart very worried.
"Your Majesty, the last general has returned." Zhuge Xiong strode into Hua'an's Chinese army tent and saluted Hua'an happily.
Seeing Zhuge Xiong's safe return to the camp, Hua An breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked loudly: "General Zhuge has worked hard, how is it?" 一qiē都顺lì? ”
In fact, since Zhuge Xiong entered the big tent safely, Hua An knew that things must be very smooth.
Zhuge Xiong hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Pu Jian is indeed dissatisfied with Yan Guo, but he did not directly agree to join our army, but just asked the last general to bring a letter and asked the last general to hand it over to the king in person." After speaking, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Hua'an.
When Hua An heard this, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly took the letter in Zhuge Xiong's hand, and immediately opened it to watch, just one glance, Hua An's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists angrily.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Seeing that Hua An was shocked and a little angry, Zhuge Xiong hurriedly asked.
Hua An stretched out his hand and shook the letter in his hand, and said: "This letter is a handwritten letter written by this king to Yao Xiang, and asked Yao Xiang to cross the river to attack Pu Hong, but I didn't expect Yao Xiang to send this king's handwritten letter directly to Pu Hong." After saying that, he was still surprised.
When Zhuge Xiong heard this, he paused, hugged his fists and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, Pu Jian personally told General Sù that the reason why they took refuge in Yan Guo and raided Yecheng was entirely because of this letter. After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.
Hua An nodded, and laughed at himself: "This qiē is all the fault of this king, this king was negligent for a while, self-defeating, and led the army of Pu Jian to defect to Yan Kingdom, this king is smart but is mistaken by cleverness!" ”
Zhuge Xiong frowned, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, what is Pu Jian's intention in handing over this letter to the king, and how does the king plan to reply to Pu Jian?" ”
Hua An frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Since Pu Jian is a smart person, this king has no choice but to tell the truth, tell sù Pu Jian, the reason why this king wrote this letter, and go to the court to canonize Pu Jian as the assassin of Pingzhou, you can see it." ”
Zhuge Xiong thought for a moment and said softly: "One part of Jizhou and all of Youzhou have not yet been recovered, but the king canonized Pu Hong as the assassin of Pingzhou, isn't this a false name." ”
Hua An smiled and said: "That's right, this king canonized Pu Jian as the assassin of Pingzhou, in order to show our army's determination to recover all the lost land." It was also to deter Murong Jun and make him withdraw from Hebei as soon as possible and return to the bitter cold land of eastern Liaodong. ”
"The king's plan is very good, and he will give it his full support." Zhuge Xiong clenched his fists to express his support.
Subsequently, Hua'an sent a confidant colonel, carrying Hua'an's handwritten letter, to the Pu Jianjun camp as fast as possible.
In Lukou City, the henchman colonel who escaped with his life quickly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army in Murong Ping, and hugged his fists and said: "General, it's not good, Pu Jian sent elite men and horses to escort the Jin army envoys back to the camp, and the soldiers under the command of the last general lost most of them, but they failed to complete the task, and asked the general to punish the crime." ”
"What, Pu Jian sent elite soldiers to escort the envoy of the Jin Kingdom." Murong Ping was shocked when he heard this, paused, and hurriedly asked, "Who did the Jin State send to Pu Jian's camp, and the elite men and horses who escorted it, are they really soldiers under Pu Jian's command?" ”
The henchman colonel clasped his fists and said: "General, the envoy sent by the Jin army, the last general has not seen it, but it can be seen from the outfit that he is the main general of the Jin army, and the men and horses responsible for escorting are indeed the men and horses under the command of General Pu, and the leading general is the one-eyed Pu Sheng." After speaking, he looked at Murong Ping.
When Murong Ping heard this, a wave of anger surged in his heart, Pu Jian sent his own son to escort the general of the Jin army, which is enough to prove that Pu Jian and the Jin army had colluded in private.
Thinking that Pu Jian might fall to the Jin army at any time, Murong Ping's back was cold, after all, at this moment, the main army of 200,000 of the Jin army was approaching step by step, and Murong Ke's 100,000 reinforcements were still blocked on the north bank of the water, in case Pu Jian fell to the Jin army at this moment and attacked Lukou City with the Jin army, he and the more than 70,000 men and horses under his command would fall into an extremely unfavorable situation, and Lukou City would naturally be difficult to hold.
"General, Pu Jian and the Jin army colluded privately, the main force of our army of 100,000 was blocked by the Jin army on the north bank of the water, the situation is extremely unfavorable to our army, our army should immediately abandon Lukou City, and take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Jin army has not yet arrived to fight out of the encirclement." A subordinate general shouted loudly.
Murong Ping nodded and said loudly: "Immediately pass the order, and the whole army and horses will immediately assemble and prepare to break through." ”
"Yes, General." The general shouted the order and immediately went to gather his troops.
On the north bank of the river, Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, no longer paid attention to every move on the other side all the time, and through the exploration of the scouts, Murong Ke learned that Lukou City was still in the hands of the Yan army, and the Jin army did not attack Lukou City, but with the arrival of the main force of the Jin army, it was inevitable to attack Lukou City.
"Fourth brother, the big thing is not good, the scout has just reported, Pu Jian and the Jin army colluded in private, and his son Pu Sheng even killed dozens of soldiers of our army." Murong Ba strode into the big tent of the Chinese army and said nervously.
When Murong Ke heard this, he was also taken aback, if Pu Jian really fell to the Jin army at this moment, it would be a huge threat to the army of Murong Ping's army stationed in Lukou City, so it would be absolutely difficult to hold Lukou City.
"Once the men and horses of Pu Jian's department rebel, the more than 70,000 men and horses under Uncle Ping's command will be completely alone, fourth brother, what should we do?" Murong Ba asked anxiously.
Murong Ke was also very anxious in his heart, he couldn't wait to immediately lead the army of his subordinates to reinforce Lukou City to rescue Murong Ke's men, but the wide water and the Jin army and horses on the other bank blocked the way for the main cavalry under his command, which made Murong Ke very helpless.
