Chapter 41 Some are happy and some are worried
Outside Wancheng, inside the Chungling military camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The barracks were full of laughter and laughter, because of the successful victory of the Niutou Mountain ambush, Liu Jiu specially allowed the soldiers to celebrate for one night, and the horse carcasses picked up from the valley were also brought to a feast, and basically everyone could eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl. The soldiers of the rebel army were homeless people who could not eat, and many of them had not tasted meat since the drought in Jingzhou.
Several soldiers held a large clay pot together, which contained muddy rice wine, with a little earthy smell, but it was still regarded as a treasure by them.
These are all warriors who followed Erdu to unify and attack the enemy formation, and I heard that more than a hundred people went, and only a dozen returned. Therefore, the soldiers around them had no objection to having wine, but they would stare at the huge wine jar with envy from time to time when they were holding the horse bones and gnawing on them.
When all the generals outside the barracks had already drunk a piece, there were bursts of hearty laughter from time to time in the military tent in the middle of the barracks.
Liu Xuan's troops from the township were only more than 1,000 people, but after he broke through the county town of Chungling, he recruited displaced people, and after several battles of all sizes along the way, the current Chungling army has about 3,000 people.
Liu Xuan used these 3,000 people to establish the "Tianzhu Capital", and he named himself the "Great Capital", and Liu Xiu was the "Second Capital". Then the 3,000 people were subdivided into six battalions, each with 500 people, the commander called the battalion Zheng, Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu each led a battalion, and handed over the remaining four battalions to his most trusted brothers. Geng Chun is the battalion leader of one of the battalions.
The five hundred men of each battalion were divided into five hundreds, and each team had a centurion; Each battalion has two squadrons, and the squadron is in charge of fifty men; For every 10 people, there is a team leader, and each team is managing five groups.
At this moment, there were not only Liu Xuan, Duanmuci and others sitting upright in the camp, but also four battalion leaders and thirty centurions, a total of more than 50 people. Basically, the entire high-ranking members of the Chung Ling Army gathered here. Everyone put down the discord between each other at this moment, pushed the glass and changed the lamp together, and talked about the wine, even Gao Yuan and Zhang Aijia secretly hid in the corner and looked for a few centurions around to drink.
In the middle of the crowd of centurions, there were three people who did not drink like the others, and although they also responded to their colleagues from time to time, the smell of worry between their eyebrows could not be concealed. It's just that everyone is drunk at the moment, and they don't notice the strangeness of the three of them at all.
It was Gai Qi, Deng Fan and Chen Yue who were worried about the three people who conspired with the enemy that day. It is said that Gai Qi and others wrote a whistle-blowing letter that day, but they were also worried that after the army broke the Lingling army, they and others would not end well. But he didn't expect that after the secret letter was sent, it would be as silent as a mud cow entering the sea, and Yan You, the old horseman, completely ignored his warning, and rushed into the valley one by one, ending up with a total annihilation, which made Gai Qi and the others puzzled.
Although no one found out about this, only the person concerned will really understand the taste of being a thief.
Deng Fan depressedly grabbed the wine cup on the case and drank it all: "Gai Qi!" Did you send that letter out at all?! Why did Yan You go directly into the ambush as if he didn't know at all? ”
"How do I know what's going on? I handed it over directly to his own soldiers that day! It stands to reason that I should have seen it! ”
"Then why did he go into an ambush stupidly? Is it possible to lose your heart and go crazy? ”
Gai Qi didn't say anything more, but Chen Yue, who was silent on the side, opened his mouth: "I heard the soldiers who came back say that Erdu Tong led people to charge the battle, and then pretended to run away and introduced Yan You and others into the woods, and then sent people to set fire to them behind them. ”
Gai Qi and Deng Fan were dumbfounded when they heard this, they didn't know anything about these situations, and they had been kept in the dark. I can't imagine that Yan You, who is a famous general in Nanyang, also has such a dim time, why can't Lin Mojin understand such a simple truth?
Gai Qi thought hatefully in his heart, remorse and fear at the moment, his face became pale, and after a while, his back was already wet.
Liu Xuan, who was kneeling on the main seat, was in a good mood at the moment, he watched everyone in the audience drink drunk, and he didn't notice the abnormality of the three people with ghosts in their hearts. In fact, even if you know, you can only pretend not to know at the moment. As a comrade-in-arms, he was completely unable to accept any betrayal from others; But as a manager, there is still a lot of money.
After all, it is everyone's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and in such a situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is completely impossible to hope that everyone can work together, and there are always some people who still hope to leave a way back for themselves. Liu Xuan knew this very well, so even if he was angry, he would not kill because of these betrayals hidden in the shadows.
As a descendant of the royal family who is determined to raise troops to help the Han family, although he is often bold and careless, the gully in his heart is not just enough to support the next boat.
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao returned victorious, and captured a number of letters written to Yuan Shao by insiders of the Cao army during the war, most of whom were not optimistic that Cao Cao could win, but only wrote letters to Yuan Shao in the event of a defeat in the future.
Cao Cao didn't read any of these letters after getting them, and directly burned them all, completely stabilizing this batch of wall grass, and laying a solid foundation for him to stabilize the Central Plains in the future. This is the measure that the master should have, the Chinese have always paid attention to inclusiveness from ancient times to the present, after all, there are only a few who are absolutely loyal to their own lineage, and the more accumulated around the lord is still the "wall grass" who see you strong and come to run, so those who can't tolerate sand in their eyes are absolutely difficult to succeed.
Although Liu Xuan didn't read much, when he also knew the truth of "treating others with leniency", even if he heard any rumors, he could only treat it as if he didn't know at the moment, and continued to maintain the harmony and beauty on the surface, and worked hard to condense this army into a powerful force.
Just as he was happy about the big victory, Liu Xiu, who was sitting on the left-hand side, quietly smashed his back with his elbow, Liu Xiu's face changed slightly, and then he continued to drink with his subordinates without changing his face. After a while, he and Liu Xiu quietly slipped out of the camp tent, and the soldiers outside the camp were also eating happily, completely unaware that their own Dadu Tong and Erdu Tong were standing behind them.
"Third brother? What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Liu Xuan knew that his younger brother had always been calm, and he was not a person who couldn't hold back his words. At this moment, he must have called himself out in such a hurry to discuss something important to discuss with him.
Liu Xiu's eyebrow bones are prominent, the bridge of her nose is high, but she looks a little strange under the moonlight: "Big brother, although I won a big victory today, I am still very uneasy in my heart. Although Yan You was wiped out along with the Iron Spear Battalion, there were still nearly 5,000 officers and soldiers in Wancheng. If they react, we will have to fight a fierce battle! ”
