Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Chance Encounter with the Dead
Around this battlefield specially reserved for the duel between the two coaches, I don't know how many onlookers witnessed this embarrassing scene, even Lu Dengyun looked down at the one in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, 'This is really a wonderful person', after thinking about it, he directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Do you want me to spare your life? This is also simple, you go, let the people inside put their weapons, and all come out first!"
Regardless of whether the other party really surrendered or had any schemes, so he wanted to deceive himself by pretending to surrender, in short, let all the people in the fortress come out first, the other party had no danger to defend, and there was no weapon at hand, it would never be the opponent of 10,000 people on their side, and then bet these people here, and then go in to investigate, it should be the safest way.
"Hey, Ben, I'll go and finish this matter for General Lu right away!"
Li Yuanjie agreed happily, then quickly got up from the ground, respectfully bowed his hand to Lu Dengyun, turned around and strode towards the back, shouting as he ran: "Wait for the general's order to pass on as soon as possible, let the people inside come out quickly to meet General Lu!"
Lu Dengyun took everything in his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed in his heart, it is true that people cannot be good-looking, those who seem to be tall and handsome on the outside, and who seem to be God's first and second people, may be just a straw bag and an unprincipled villain inside, but the most basic thing he still did, that is, never underestimate the enemy.
After waiting outside for a while, the remaining people in the fortress walked out one by one empty-handed, after all, their own generals had ordered to surrender, and they all saw it in their eyes, as soldiers who could only listen to orders, what choice was there inside, and there was an acquaintance Lu Dengyun who didn't expect to help him at this time.
"Da Da Da!"
A sound of hurriedly riding a horse and running forward sounded, Lu Dengyun rushed to the front of this group of surrendered soldiers at once, and then quickly turned over and dismounted, and when he went up, he supported a man who was about to bow down to him, and said in a tone full of surprise: "Brother Sun, how did you get here?"
Lu Dengyun and Cao Yan are the same, both of them have been thrown to the grassroots level of each army to polish, and they have always stayed in the scout battalion with a death rate in the entire army second only to the trapped camp and the vanguard battalion, and the rough man in front of him with gray temples and a weathered face is the captain of the scout team he was in many years ago, when he was still sharpening himself on the side of the Yuyang Army.
This big brother took a lot of care of his younger brother at that time, not only taught him, but even saved his life, the relationship between the two was irreversible, almost like brothers, but later Lu Dengyun was transferred back to the Tiger Army, there were many affairs in the army, and it was inconvenient for him to leave, and the two were thousands of miles apart, so there was less contact.
To be honest, if he hadn't seen it here today, he wouldn't even know the life and death of the other party, after all, I don't know how many scouts have died quietly outside the gate over the years, and in that environment, anyone can die outside, even he, Lu Dengyun, has walked through the ghost gate several times, let alone others.
As for what surprised him, it was not that the other party was still alive, but because the Yuyang Army was responsible for the defense line on the side of the Shu State, and its main location was far northwest of Youzhou, and at this moment, Hedong County, where they were located, was relying on the northeast where the country and the desert were located, and it had always been the defense area of their original Tiger Ben Army.
Seeing that Lu Dengyun ran all the way to him from that side, and then supported himself, the veteran was moved by the fact that the other party still remembered him, and at the same time, he hurriedly greeted: "Old Lu, General Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here again." β
Like him, in fact, many soldiers can't stand up straight, not because they are lazy, hanging, or have no way to govern the army and lack discipline, but because they have been fighting outside all year round, and the injuries inside and outside the body have accumulated more, so they will subconsciously choose the most comfortable posture to stand, such as the big brother Sun in front of him, he used to be a scout in the Yuyang army, in order to spy on intelligence, or assassinate the enemy, he would often soak in the water for several days, and both legs and joints had serious diseases, so even if he met his superiors, he was crooked and would not force himself to stand up straightγ
As soon as they met, he subconsciously wanted to call "Brother Lu" affectionately as before , but immediately changed his words after reacting, the first is that they will only use the title in private, shouting in this case, it can't help but feel a little bit of a relationship, he is unwilling, and besides, he has been saying for so many years, he is willing to shout like this, is the other party still willing to agree, no one knows, why embarrass both sides, the third is that at this time he also understands, he must give the other party Liwei, he can't come by temperament, just because the other party is his good brother, so he will be so polite.
In fact, when he saw Lu Dengyun in full armor and high spirits, he wanted to say something very much, he knew at that time that with your kid's ability, in the Youzhou military system that only looks at the merits of the war and does not look at the background, he will inevitably get out of the way.
Lu Dengyun was slightly stunned when he heard the other party's unfamiliar name, but he immediately reacted, so he gently patted the big brother on the shoulder, deliberately raised his voice, and shouted, "Let's go in and talk about it." β
With this former big brother here, he no longer has to worry about an ambush inside, after all, this brother who has intersected with his life, if it is really the kind of person who will harm his companions for any benefit, they will never become real friends, at that time, in that environment, get along with each other day and night, and it is actually very simple to see the true nature of a person.
Let's go back here, stationed here, there are not many people guarding this granary, a total of only more than 2,000 people, after all, one is in the hinterland of Youzhou, the other is to rely on the location, and there is no need to arrange too many troops, at this time, the people inside were driven out, and then fell outside, but it was the group of people under Lu Dengyun, in order to avoid problems, they hurriedly went in first to open the way for Lu Dengyun.
In the interior of this cohesive fortress, it can only be lit by the holes made along the way for archery, and only at night will the oil lamps be lit, and the granary is in the middle of the whole fortress, and there is a special wall, for fear that it will be too dry, and then it will be ignited by open flames, and if you want to get in, you have to walk some distance, and there is a larger cellar under your feet as a reserve.
These are all war materials, the importance is self-evident, so how to arrange it is not redundant, just this granary, it is not a problem to supply tens of thousands of people for a few months, this is where the confidence of Youzhou lies.
Someone in front opened the way on his behalf, and there were also people in the back who followed the guards, and Lu Dengyun walked in the middle with the big brother he hadn't seen for a long time.
Seeing that the people on both sides of the front and back were a little far apart, the big brother quickly lowered his voice and said, "Hey, the general is not used to being called, I still call you Brother Lu, if you don't want to, I can change it back!"
When Lu Dengyun heard this, he smiled honestly, stretched out his hand to hug the other party, and said, "Hey, that's right, Brother Sun, if you really call me General General, then I can't stand it myself, where is there such a big official." β
After coming and going, the sense of alienation caused by time quickly disappeared, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were fighting side by side outside, Lao Sun directly pushed Lu Dengyun away, and grinned: "Also, there have been no battles in recent years, I think that even if you are the son of the emperor Lao'er, you will not become a general so quickly, hey, you stay away from Lao Tzu, you are panicked with this armor, say, Brother Lu, such a big formation, what is going on?"
Lu Dengyun also retreated a little, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, do you really not know what happened in Youzhou?"
Lao Sun glanced at him, and then sighed helplessly: " I'm not afraid to call you a joke, brother, after so many years, I'm still a squad leader who is not bullshit, and I haven't even been able to catch a hundred households, just my connections, so where can I know what the inside story is, but I know that there are several groups of people who have suddenly changed back and forth, and most of us and the Tiger Ben Army have been scattered, and I and a group of brothers have been transferred to Hedong County and then dispersed, just this place, in fact, I have just been here, and they are basically some fresh faces, not to mention me, they are actually the same. β
After hearing this, Lu Dengyun's heart suddenly sank, although he had long known the methods of the General's Mansion, but after really confirming the news, it still made him a little embarrassed, if it weren't for such a strong army as the Youzhou Army, if it was tossed like this, I was afraid that even the army's heart would be scattered, after thinking about it, he asked again: "What about this guard Li Yuanjie?"
As soon as he talked about him, Lao Sun couldn't help but sneer, and said: "He doesn't have bullshit skills, he knows how to play tricks all day long, show himself, it's not my brother I brag, Lao Tzu lets one hand beat him casually." β
Lu Dengyun couldn't help but smile when he thought of the unbearable appearance of the person just now: "Yes, brother, I know your strength best." β
Lao Sun waved his hand, and then said with some confusion: "Hey, don't talk about anything else, it's you, brother, why did you suddenly bring troops to fight our own people?"
Lu Dengyun's face suddenly became very sad, and this sentence really poked at the most painful place in his heart.
was forced to raise the butcher's knife to his own people, the former brothers, and must be divided into life and death, this is what he never wants to see, especially, these people are all left by General Zuo, how can he bear to destroy it, but the facts make him have to do this, unless he is willing to go along with Xu Jintang, but that is impossible, not to mention that he Lu Dengyun himself is a principled person, just say that General Zuo's death, even if Xu Jintang becomes the emperor in the future, he will be a thief for the rest of his life, and it is impossible to surrender to him.
He sighed, and then explained: "Hey, brother, you don't know yet, the General's Mansion has now reversed, and at the beginning, something happened in Yanzhouγγγγγγ β
He also had nothing to hide, so he directly attacked Yanzhou with Wei and Jin, and Yanzhou soon fell completely, but Xu Jintang seized the power of Youzhou when this kind of national disaster was at the head, first killed General Zuo, and then forced General Right to abdicate, and finally launched a purge of the whole army, turning the entire Youzhou into the private property of his Xu family, and openly disobeyed the emperor's order, refused to send troops and did not say anything, and also said concisely and concisely about the border of Liangzhou.
