Chapter 81: Defeat! A game of death
By the time Cao Bin arrived at Caihezhuang, it was already dawn the next day.
Rao is physical fitness has been strengthened to three times that of ordinary people, and he is also tired of back pain.
At this time, the entire Caihezhuang was surrounded by continuous military tents, in which the sound of harmony was endless, and the officers were directing the soldiers to pull out the camp.
Seeing this situation, Cao Bin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally caught up.
"Ha, why is Uncle Cao here, do you also want to go out with the army?"
Chang Feng also got up not long after getting up at this time, just finished washing, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Cao Bin coming.
But then he suddenly got up and said: "Uncle Cao, don't worry, the merit of breaking the enemy, Chang will count himself as Uncle's share." ”
Cao Bin sat on the chair, took a sip of the tea bowl, waved his hand and said:
"Cao thought that this was not the opportunity to break the thief, why didn't Master Chang discuss it with me and lead the troops?"
"It's better to stop the war, and it's not too late to exterminate the thieves when the disaster has passed."
As soon as he finished speaking, an agitated cry sounded at the door: "Shut up, is Uncle Zhongjing pleading for the thief." ”
Cao Bin turned his head and saw Yan Chasan walking in with Bai Yutang.
This was beyond Cao Bin's expectations, how could Yan Chasan be here? Could it be that he hooked up with Chang Feng.
"The thieves robbed the court for disaster relief money and food, as the country's military generals, they didn't want to exterminate, but blindly delayed, what are your intentions?"
borrowed troops a few years ago, Yan Chasan was rejected by Cao Bin, and this time he saw him stop him again, and he was a little angry.
Cao Bin was amused by Yan Chasan's words:
"Aren't you just trying to get your little food back?"
"You think Liangshan is easy to attack? Not to mention anything else, just these 800 miles of water will allow you to enter and return. ”
"What kind of military strategy do you know, if you lose the battle, can you afford it?"
Chang Feng saw that the two were going to quarrel again, and couldn't help but have a headache, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't be impatient. ”
"Lord Yan has received a secret report that the Liangshan thieves plan to rob Lord Yan's second batch of grain, and we can send troops to ambush us."
Hearing this news, Cao Bin couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Is this news conclusive, why haven't I received the news?" ”
Yan Chasan sneered:
"Zhongjingbo has a warm fragrance of nephrite every day, what news can you find?"
"This is the information that my secret agents only obtained after nine deaths."
"What else does Uncle Cao have to say now?"
This is indeed a good time to inflict a heavy blow and even destroy Liangshan, but it sounds a little unreliable.
"Then how did Liangshan start? It is precisely because of the pervasiveness of the people in the rivers and lakes that there are very few defeats! ”
"It's too easy for you to get information as a scholar?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said.
Yan Chasan said disdainfully: "I think Zhongjing Bo is afraid of war and death, what evidence do you have that my spies are unreliable?" ”
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "Benjue will never disagree to send troops. ”
"If you insist on sending troops and any accident occurs, you will bear the matter with all your might."
Yan Chasan smiled nonchalantly:
"Suppressing bandits is the duty of the envoy to appease the envoy, and it has nothing to do with Zhongjingbo."
After speaking, seeing that Cao Bin was not speaking, Yan Chasan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yan Chasan left, Chang Feng said helplessly:
"Uncle Cao, Chang didn't expect Yan Chasan to bring people here, I'm afraid we won't be able to get those grains."
"So far, it is difficult for me to withdraw my troops, if Yan Cha scatters a piece of paper and goes to the court, not only Chang, but also Uncle will be difficult to stay out of the matter."
Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"That's it, good words can't persuade damned ghosts."
"I just want to remind Master Chang that the thieves in Liangshanbo are not simple, and you have to be careful."
"If the war is not good, you must try to preserve your strength."
Seeing that Cao Bin was rare and serious, Chang Feng was also quite happy:
"Uncle, rest assured, Chang also led more than ten soldiers, so he naturally understands the truth of worrying about defeat before worrying about victory."
After Chang Feng and Yan Chasan set off with the army, Cao Bin looked left and right, and found a post man and said:
"You take my letter to Jeju City and send my own soldiers."
Today's Cai Hezhuang only has 300 post guards stationed, which makes him very insecure.
If the people from Liangshan come, they have to gather a thousand people to have the possibility of resisting.
However, when he left Beijing, he traveled by boat, and did not take a war horse with him, and it took at least three days to go back and forth......
At noon the next day, Cao Bin was eating when there was a sudden commotion outside.
Cao Bin's face changed and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The sedan chair had already run in with two war horses:
"Young master, run, Chang Feng and Yan Chasan lost the battle, and the thieves are coming."
"it!"
Why did he lose too quickly? Caught off guard......
Cao Bin didn't have time to care, so he threw down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out.
The sedan chair hurriedly helped Cao Bin to get on the horse, and he also turned over on another horse, and patted the horse's buttocks: "Drive!" ”
The two did not stop at all, and ran out of Cai Hezhuang in a puff of smoke.
At this time, he finally realized what it means to be rumored and what it means to be a soldier.
[As a military general of the imperial court, the host does not want to serve the country with his body, and flees for his life in battle, which meets the standard of the gentleman, and the score of the gentleman: 3000]
Hearing this prompt, Cao Bin couldn't help but be speechless.
Still "serve the country with your body"? This means that death is inevitable!
If he can keep Cai Hezhuang, he doesn't mind trying to keep it, but if he loses his life worthlessly, forget it.
After only a quarter of an hour's effort, he ran out more than ten miles with a sedan chair, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Bao Zheng with a team of servants coming from the opposite side.
"Where is Uncle Zhongjing going?"
Cao Bin hurriedly said: "Master Bao, Chang Feng and Yan Chasan were defeated, Cai Hezhuang can't hold it, hurry back to Jeju City to prepare for the war." ”
Bao Zheng's face suddenly sank and said: "Jeju City is surrounded by disaster victims, how to defend the city?" Could it be that Zhongjing Bo wants to escape from the battle? ”
Cao Bin was speechless:
"Cai Hezhuang is just a small village, but there are only three hundred soldiers, how to defend it?"
Bao Zheng's face was serious:
"If you can't keep it, you have to defend it, and you will die for your country."
"As a lord of the country, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death, and retreat from the battle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhanzhao had already jumped off the horse and stopped directly in front of Cao Bin.
The other officials also formed a siege and surrounded Cao Bin in the middle.
Seeing this, the sedan chair immediately pulled out its double halberd, slashed at Zhanzhao with a halberd, and shouted angrily:
"You want my young master to die? I'll cut you first! ”
Zhan Zhao swung his sword to block it, but he only felt that his arms were numb and his throat was sweet, so he withdrew directly and went a few feet away.
He coughed and exclaimed, "What a strength! Zhan can't stop you by asking himself. ”
He didn't flinch at all, Hengjian stood in front of Cao Bin's horse and said, "But Uncle is leaving, please step over my corpse." ”
Seeing this, the sedan chair looked ruthless, and was about to make a move, but Cao Bin hurriedly stopped him, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, Benjue will go back with Master Bao."
"Since Lord Bao is not afraid, what is Benjue afraid of?"
"Isn't Tamad's a death?"
Even if he runs back, Bao Zheng will not let himself go, since this is the case, it is better to go back and beg for dignity.
Seeing this, Bao Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some relief: "This government has ordered Qingzhou Luo to come quickly, as long as we hold on for two or three days, we can solve the crisis." ”
He was also afraid that Cao Bin would run for his life, and he really made the sedan chair move, in that case, he was really helpless.
Fortunately, Cao Bin has not been frightened and has become crazy, and he is still quite bold at a critical time.
When Cao Bin and Bao Zheng returned to Caihezhuang, scattered defeated soldiers fled back, and they were reorganized a little, but only two or three hundred people were gained.
At this moment, Bai Yutang ran back with a few personal soldiers to escort Yan Chasan and Chang Feng.
Several people were in a mess, and as soon as they entered the village, they heard a majestic cold drink: "Take it!" ”
"Lord Bao? Teacher? ”
