Chapter 262: Write a letter to report safety
Listen, what do people say?
I thought you could hold out for a few days, at least an hour, right?
Who knows, you will be destroyed by others as soon as you look at your face.
It's infuriating.
The point is that Li Bin can't refute it yet, so he can only smile bitterly.
He even tried to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Who knows, Wei Ran also comforted him:
"Brother Li doesn't have to care about victory or defeat for a while, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, your army has just experienced a big battle and captured Yanzhou, tired and unalert...... It's also normal. ”
After speaking, Wei Ran came over, patted Li Bin on the shoulder, and then took his own soldiers to leave the camp.
"That's right."
Wei Ran turned around and said to Li Bin: "Brother Li, it's best not to move around at will, so as not to misunderstand, if you have anything to eat and drink, or other requirements, I will try to do it for you." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and left.
Leaving Li Bin sitting on the bed, the whole person was not good.
"Made, it's a shame to be dead......"
Li Bin was annoyed, he didn't expect the city gate to be breached so quickly, and in Wei Ran's words, he learned that he was almost fainting at the same time...... The gates of the city were breached.
"Isn't that a tremor a thunderbolt?"
"Or is it that the sky is going to kill me, and a thunderbolt happened to strike the city gate?"
Li Bin couldn't help but doubt himself, he was not a good person, so he naturally felt a little weak about God, and felt that it was not impossible to be struck by lightning.
But he didn't want to admit it, even if he was considered careless for a while, he didn't want to be suspected of having a problem with his morality, which caused the thunder to fall.
Therefore, he was embarrassed to ask Wei Ran if there was a thunderstorm the night before.
"Hmph......" Li Bin is not stupid, he feels that this matter is full of cattiness.
Some doubts gradually surfaced.
At this time, he heard a group of soldiers guarding him outside the door whispering something.
Li Bin carefully got out of bed, did not wear clothes, tiptoed to the edge of the tent, and eavesdropped on the soldiers outside.
One said: "...... This one in this tent is a famous general in Western Chu, we saved him from the Northern Liang Army, how do you say Western Chu should thank us? ”
"Haha, that's nature, there must be some blood, otherwise how can this person go back?"
Hearing this, Li Bin was not annoyed, but felt normal.
If Wei Ran let him go like this, Li Bin still felt that something was wrong, and the border army commander would form a habit all year round, that is, it would not be profitable to be early.
If he didn't take the opportunity to sell him for a good price, Li Bin felt that Wei Ran was wrong.
"Eh, did you hear that?"
The soldiers outside lowered their voices, and the footsteps around them sounded, and the few people who were talking about it gathered more closely.
"I heard the scout who was fighting outside the city the day before yesterday that the Western Chu army was also unlucky, and as soon as the Northern Liang army rushed to the city gate, a thunder hit the city gate."
"Isn't it?"
"No, otherwise do you think this gate is so easy to breach?"
"That's right, who is the commander of this Western Chu army, so unlucky, is he unfilial or disloyal, God can't stand it?"
"Then it's hard to say......" The soldier who spoke sighed meaningfully.
Inside the tent, Li Bin heard these voices and immediately felt bad.
The little doubt in my heart was dispelled, and at the same time, I was even more worried that the thunder the night before would be spread.
No, it has already been spread.
Although thunder is a common sight in the northern cool winter, it just happened that a thunderbolt split the city gate, and it had to be intriguing.
This kind of thing doesn't seem to have happened before, God can't stand it?
People of this era like to associate the respective scenes of nature with disasters and the morality of their victims.
They also have an extremely difficult reason to refute: then what will split you and not others?
Back on the bed, Li Bin pulled the quilt and covered his old face, suddenly feeling that his future was uncertain.
If the officials of Western Chu and their enemies knew about this matter, they would definitely write to the king of Chu to take the opportunity to attack him.
In previous cases, the parties who were "punished by heaven" were not only spurned by the world, but more importantly, their future would also be greatly affected.
……
In the afternoon, in Li Bin's tent, Wei Ran came again, still with two personal soldiers.
"Brother Wei, did you ask your young master and general so quickly?" Li Bin said unexpectedly.
Wei Ran said with a smile: "I asked for instructions yesterday, and today's news is from Rinzhou, so it's not normal." ”
"Rinju?"
Li Bin grasped the key point and was shocked: "Your army has actually reached Rinzhou?" ”
According to the prediction of the Western Chu Army, at this point in time, the Xia Army should still be fighting hard in Hanzhou.
"To be precise, we've already taken Rinju for three days." Wei Ran was confident and proud.
"Hiss......"
Li Bin was shocked, the Xia army not only arrived in Rinzhou, but had already conquered Rinzhou three days ago, which was too unbelievable.
"You ...... Didn't you get in the slightest obstacle all the way? Li Bin was puzzled, even if most of Beiliang was transferred, the people who could be left behind were not an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people, who could be handled at will.
Wei Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Li still cares about himself." ”
Naturally, he would not explain the details, the later the power of firearms was believed by the world, the more beneficial it would be to Great Xia.
"Hmmm......"
Li Bin saw that Wei Ran didn't say much, and he didn't ask questions, but asked about his own affairs: "Then your general, what do you decide to do with me?" ”
"Where did Brother Li say, what did he dispose of, it was an arrangement." Wei Ran corrected.
Seeing Wei Ran's attitude, Li Bin breathed a sigh of relief, at least he would not be humiliated, and the matter still had to be discussed.
Then, I saw Wei Ran waving his hand, and one of the soldiers behind him brought a table and put it in front of the bed, and one took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
It's all on the table.
"What is this?" Li Bin pointed to the things on the table and wondered.
Wei Ran said with a smile: "Now in the Western Chu army, I don't know that Brother Li is still alive and well with us. I heard that someone is already presiding over your funeral, I think you still need to write a letter to report your safety, otherwise the grass on the grave will be a few feet high, wouldn't it be a loss of life? ”
"What?"
Li Bin glared: "Give me the funeral ......"
As soon as he thought about it, he knew who could do it, and scolded: "Gou Desheng on the dog day." ”
Looking at Wei Ran, Li Bin nodded: "Yes, I have to write a letter, otherwise the news will be transmitted back to Xichu and a monument will be erected for me, how can I go back?" ”
If the king of Chu personally attended his funeral and posthumously awarded a series of titles, his family would have been treated very well...... So how can Li Bin go back?
It's better to die.
In that case, it's embarrassing.
"Well, how do I write that?" As soon as Li Bin picked up the pen, he thought of something, and asked Wei Ran with his eyes.
Wei Ran: "Feel free to write, just be fast, otherwise we will send people to the Western Chu army, but we will find that they have already been opened, so we won't be able to find anyone." ”
"It's going to be fast......"
Li Bin picked up the pen and wrote a letter in a very personal style, which was obviously his own handwriting at a glance.
There were a few strokes in the letter, reporting safety, explaining the fact that the Northern Liang Army and the Xia Army had occupied Yanzhou successively, and more was not written.
How did he lose it, he didn't write it, he made up a reason randomly, saying that he was stunned by a flowing stone, and he didn't know how the Beiliang Army broke the city.
As for whether it will be demolished, Li Bin thinks it won't, the Beiliang Army also has siege equipment, and the stones thrown by catapults happen to hit people, and this kind of thing happens in every battle.
It can only be said that it is too unlucky, and outsiders can't find anything wrong.
Of course, there must be fault for losing the city, but Li Bin is a veteran general and has many achievements, and this fault will not make him be questioned.
After three or two clicks, after finishing writing, Li Bin handed it to Wei Ran very sensibly: "Brother Wei, do you want to review it?" ”
"Not necessarily." Wei Ran took it generously and led people out of the camp.
"Send someone to the camp of the Western Chu army in the north."
Wei Ran reminded: "By the way, put on the clothes of the Western Chu Army, don't be treated as a scout and die, it will be too much of a loss." ”
"Yes, General, but do you really not censor the content?" The pro-soldiers felt that it was inappropriate, what if the truth of the matter was seen through and Li Bin hid the ciphertext?
Wei Ran chuckled when he heard this: "Do you really think that Western Chu is a fool in China?" ”
"Huh?"
"This matter, sooner or later, will be seen through, as long as they don't have a reason at the moment, who hasn't done this kind of thing?"
Before the soldiers left, Wei Ran instructed: "Don't forget, add some more content to it, ask Xichu for money, and tell them that they will be sent back to Xichu after the war." ”
"Didn't we become kidnappers?" The pro-soldier laughed.
Wei Ran sneered: "Aren't we?" ”
