Soldiers of the Grove

The general's question was expected by Chu Liuyan, who pointed to the corpse on the bow of the ship, and then said to this person: "According to the inference of this military division, the secret mezzanine below the deck must be secretly connected to the cabin, and it is very likely that it is the hiding place of these oarmen on the warships of the Han army's naval fleet under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. ”

Hearing Chu Liuyan's words, the general suddenly said with a sense of enlightenment: "The Chu military division has seen it very much, and the last general now understands that in the past six months, I have fought many times with the soldiers of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, although there are few defeats and many victories, but occasionally when they win, they have also captured the soldiers of the Han Army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but it is very strange that I did not capture a single opponent's oarman. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The general's words are good, according to the opinion of this military division, in the past, the soldiers of our naval division did not capture the soldiers of the Han army's naval fleet under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, and it is very likely that this is the reason." The Han army was all under the deck, and the hull could only move freely, even if the officers and men of our navy could rush onto the enemy ship and capture a few prisoners, they would only be soldiers of the Han army. ”

When the general heard Chu Liuyan say this, he felt extremely reasonable in his heart, so he said to Chu Liuyan: "Since the military division has already seen through the tricks of the Han army's naval fleet under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, it is better to dare to ask the Chu military division how to deal with the current situation." ”

Chu Liuyan glanced at the corpse for a moment, then raised his eyes and commanded the general: "If the general obeys the orders of his division, please go to this big knife and put it back into the scabbard first." ”

Hearing Chu Liuyan's words, the general was slightly stunned, and didn't understand why Chu Liuyan had to give such an order, so he opened his mouth and asked Chu Liuyan: "Chu military division, please let the last general argue, there are still soldiers of the Han army and sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, in the cabin, why does the military division want the last general to take this way back." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "Since ancient times, I know that soldiers are not belligerent, and generals have also read military books, so this military division will ask you what is the best strategy to control the enemy as mentioned in the military book." ”

Although this general is not a good strategist, but later Zhu Yuanzhang strictly ordered the generals under his account to recite Sun Tzu's Art of War, but he also learned some from other generals.

After frowning and thinking about it for a moment, the general patted his head and said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, the last general remembered, Wu Guogong once asked his subordinates to recite some Sun Tzu's Art of War, and there is a saying in it: Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good is not good; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. If it is the best strategy said in the book of war, it is naturally a soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled slightly and said: "That's right, right now, we have already used the method of fire attack, so that the Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, who are hiding in the cabin and in the mezzanine below the deck, cannot hide safely, they can wait outside for a while, and there will definitely be enemy soldiers who come out to surrender, as long as they are captured." ”

"If someone resists stubbornly and doesn't come out, then what will happen, is it necessary to add a little more fireworks." The general asked Chu Liuyan with a rare brain.

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "What the general said is very true, now that there are still some soldiers of the Han Army Naval Division under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang under the cabin, then you might as well increase the weight and smoke out these soldiers of the Han Army Naval Division under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang who are cowering under the mezzanine of the deck." ”

Hearing that Chu Liuyan did not object, but agreed with his own method, the general was extremely excited, hurriedly put the knife into the sheath, and then walked to the hatch of the ship, and said to the soldiers of Ying Tianshui who followed him: "Have you waited until you heard the words of the Chu military division?" ”

The soldiers of the Ying Tianshui Division who were following this general naturally listened to what Chu Liuyan said, so they said to the general in unison: "Don't worry, general, the orders of the Chu army division are in my heart." ”

As soon as the general heard these soldiers of the Ying Tianshui Division saying this, he was very happy in his heart, so he pointed to the pile of fire-starting things that had not yet been ignited on the side and said to the soldiers who leaned close to him: "Brothers, since the Chu military division has said this, what are we waiting for, we will light up this pile of fire-causing things with some quick hands and feet, and smoke out the group of kings and eight lambs who are cowering in the cabin and can't die." ”

A soldier of the Ying Tianshui Division heard this general's order, and asked with some anxiety: "General, if these kings and eight lambs have made up their minds and refuse to come out, what should we do?" ”

The general might as well ask his subordinates, and snorted a few words without coming up with any words, but only heard another soldier from Ying Tianshui Division say next to him: "Hey, what can you do, then smoke these eight lambs who are shrunk in it to death?" ”

When the general heard this, he felt very happy, so he said to the soldier: "That's right, that's right, it's good to smoke these eight lambs of the Han army to death, and save the trouble of flying. ”

The soldiers around this general heard the general's words, and they were also in high spirits, and they didn't want to burn all these Han army sailors inside, some of these soldiers died on this warship, and they wanted to avenge the death of their sailor brothers, but at the moment it seems that it is impossible to burn alive the enemy soldiers who were cowering in the warships of the Han army's naval fleet under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but since there is a way to make these Han soldiers die more painfully, Isn't it a good thing to avenge the death of Brother Shui?

"General, no matter what you say, we will do what you say." The soldiers responded again.

"Okay" The general saw that his subordinates had no objections, so he waved his hand, strode to the object that ignited the fire, and immediately took some objects. When the other soldiers saw this general's practice, they also drew gourds in the same way and followed the others' example.

"Brothers, get more fireworks out and smoke out all the rabbit cubs in there." When the general saw that the soldiers around him were accompanying him, he took the lead in lighting the fire.

"Yes, General, my subordinates obey." The other soldiers answered, and began to split up, setting fire to the heavenly things they were holding in their hands back to back.

Suddenly, the flames were soaring, and the threshold of the cabin was almost burned, Chu Liuyan saw this situation behind him, and hurriedly shouted: "General, don't let our soldiers burn this ship, we haven't seen the tricks in the cabin and the mezzanine under the deck, and we must not burn it to the ground and burn it." ”

When the general heard Chu Liuyan's call, he was also stunned in his heart, and understood that he really couldn't burn the ship, so he immediately stepped forward and trampled on the flames on the threshold of the burning cabin. Then he turned his head to the soldiers of the Ying Tianshui Division who started the fire and scolded: "Do you understand the order of the Chu military division, be careful when starting the fire, and don't let Mars set this big ship on fire, if so, don't say that the Chu military division can't get around you, even this general will not let you wait." ”

Looking at the fierce look of this general blowing his beard and glaring at him, the soldiers who were setting fire felt a little frightened, and they all bowed their heads and said: "Don't worry, general, I will be careful, and there will never be such an incident." ”

The general glanced around at the soldiers who lit the fire, and then said: "That's fine, if you can act so carefully, the Chu army will not be responsible, and this general will not punish you and others." As long as you don't burn the boat, you can wait for this to happen, you can get more smoke out, and blast out the soldiers of the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, who were cowering in it and refused to come out. ”

"General rest assured." When the soldiers heard the general's question, they responded with anxiety in their hearts, and their movements in their hands were naturally much more careful.

The general heard that his subordinates were acting according to orders, so he turned back to Chu Liuyan and said: "Chu Junshi, the last general has strictly ordered his soldiers to be careful with their hands and feet, not to set the hull on fire, and will never burn down the cabin in the future, but please rest assured." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded and smiled: "Okay, that's good, if the general can strictly order his subordinates to act carefully, then the division will be relieved." However, the fireworks were enough, so the general and the other soldiers retreated, waited for the Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, to come out and surrender. ”

Chu Liuyan's words did not fall, only to see a violent cough sound from the cabin, only to see two figures stumbling out, the general did not expect to say that Cao Cao Cao arrived, the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang really as Chu Liuyan said, in the cabin couldn't stand up, ran out. The general was very excited, and as soon as he stepped forward to arrest him, he grabbed a soldier of the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, who had escaped, and twisted the situation, and cut this person's hands behind his back.

The remaining soldiers of the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang saw that the situation was not good, and they wanted to flee in a panic, but the other Ying Tianshui soldiers around were not weak, and immediately one of them rolled over on the spot, intercepted the front of this person, stretched out his feet, and tripped the soldiers of the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang and fell to the ground, and the other soldiers of the Ying Tianshui division rushed up and captured the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang effortlessly.

Besides, the general captured a soldier of the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang, and saw that the soldiers under his command captured another person, so he was naturally extremely happy, so he escorted the captured Han army sailor under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang to Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan saw such a situation on the deck in front of him, and knew that he had captured two live mouths, and he was extremely happy in his heart, feeling that he could find out a little bit of the secret of the mezzanine below the deck from these two people.

Therefore, before the general and the soldiers of the Ying Tianshui Division escorted the soldiers of the Han Army Naval Division under the command of the two Han King Chen Youliang to him, Chu Liuyan personally greeted him.

"Chu Junshi, as you expected, these turtles huddled in it still can't stand it, no, two more ran out, both of them were caught by the last general and his soldiers, and asked Chu Junshi to send it down in person." This general captured the soldiers of the naval fleet of the Han army under the command of two Han kings Chen Youliang, and felt that it was also a credit, and he was extremely proud between his words. As he spoke, he kicked the buttocks of the two captives hard, and the two Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, who only kicked, fell forward and fell to Chu Liuyan's side.

Chu Liuyan knew in his heart that this general was taking great pains today, just to get out the soldiers of the Han army who were hiding in the warships of the Han army's sailor fleet under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang, and now that he finally got his wish, he was naturally happy, so Chu Liuyan did not interfere, and he let out this sulk, and did not stop this general's behavior.

Chu Liuyan turned his head and looked at the armor on the two people's bodies, which was almost the same as the armor on the corpses on the side, and there were no weapons around them, thinking that these two people were also the oars on the warships of the Han Army's naval fleet under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han.

"Water, water, water." Two soldiers of the Han Army's naval fleet under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, who were kicked to the ground, tossed and turned on the deck, moaning in pain and saying a few words over and over again.

Chu Liuyan calmed down and listened, only then did he hear clearly what these two people were saying.

The general in front of Chu Liuyan didn't have such patience, and scolded the soldiers of the Han Army's naval fleet under the command of the two Han kings Chen Youliang who fell to the ground: "Fainting can't stop death, you two don't have to pretend to be dead in front of this general, this general is not a good man and a woman." ”

Saying that, the general bent down to come, one in each hand, lifted the two people from the ground, and said to Chu Liuyan; "Chu Junshi, captured alive two soldiers of the Han Army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, if the general wants to ask anything, please ask, this is a great opportunity."

Chu Liuyan heard this general's words, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he asked the two people who were pulled up: "Who are you waiting for, are you the captain of the warship of the Han Army's naval fleet under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, and is there a secret room under the deck in the cabin." ”

"Water, water, water." The two officers and soldiers of the Han Army's naval fleet under the command of Han King Chen Youliang didn't know if they didn't hear Chu Liuyan's question clearly, or if they were too thirsty, so they ignored Chu Liuyan's question, and just said these words over and over again in their mouths.

"Master Chu, these two boys must be reluctant to confess, anyway, we are going to attack the basement floor, it is better to let my subordinates kill these two people one by one, and avenge the brothers of Ying Tianshui who died on this ship today." Speaking of the indignation, the future body also trembled, and then threw the two soldiers of the Han Army Naval Division under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang in his hand to a few soldiers of the Ying Tianshui Division on the side, and then touched the scabbard, grabbed the handle of the knife casually, and was about to pull out the knife.

Chu Liuyan hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife at the general's waist, and with a slight force, he would already smoke. The hilt, which had been a few points away, was still returned to the scabbard.

"General, don't act so recklessly, everything is unknown, if you kill these two people, it will be of no benefit for our army to attack the lower deck of the Han army's naval fleet under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, if you can get some emotions from these two people, it will be beneficial to this matter." Chu Liuyan opened his mouth and admonished the general.

Hearing Chu Liuyan's words, this general also felt that his actions were too abrupt, and he should not want to kill the soldiers of the fleet of the Han army under the command of the two Han kings Chen Youliang because he was angry for a while.

Thinking about it like this, the general hurriedly waved his head at Chu Liuyan and said: "Chu Junshi, the last general is confused, he has no sense of proportion, and he almost missed the major event of Chu Junshi, and I ask the general to punish him." ”

Chu Liuyan heard his words like this, and knew that this person had a straightforward temperament, but he was also a little irritable, and he didn't care about his temperament, and now that he could say this, he also knew in his heart that this general must have felt that Fang Cai's actions were too abrupt, so he had a trace of remorse.

The two sailors under the command of the captured Han King Chen Youliang seemed to be really unconscious by the smoke and fire, and just quietly groaned on the side: "Water, water, water." ”

Seeing this, Chu Liuyan already knew in his heart that these two people must be so thirsty that they were delirious.

"General, tell your men to go and fetch some water, give them a drink, and then wake them up, and turn them around, this army division has something to ask these two." Chu Liuyan opened his mouth and commanded the general in front of him.

The general didn't dare to slack off, bowed to Chu Liuyan, and then said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi will be later, and the last general will immediately send someone to do it." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded slightly, and then said to the general: "Go and return quickly, this matter is very important, and there must be no delay." ”

"The last will understand." The general replied to Chu Liuyan and turned to leave.

After a while, the general brought a sack and muttered it, and at a glance it was filled with clean water.

"Strategist, I've got the water bladder." While running, the general raised the water bladder in his hand towards Chu Liuyan.

As soon as Chu Liuyan saw that the general who had just left came back so quickly, he also felt in his heart that although this general was sometimes confused, he was resolute and agile.

"Master Chu, the last general will go and wake up these two people, and the military division will be able to wait a moment." Walking in front of Chu Liuyan, the general said to Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan bowed his head slightly, and said to the general: "It's okay, you feed these two people a little water first, and then wake them up." ”

"The last will obey." Before the words fell, this person had already arrived in front of the captured Han soldiers.
