Chapter 383: Two Heroes Enter the Tiger's Den
Xulong Town was far away from Linhuang Mansion, and after the army was dispatched, after three days and nights of rapid marching, Lu Bu asked the soldiers to rest for a while.
"Niangniang Chitose, I heard that the spies came to report, that Xunhuatu has received the news that we are coming, and is strengthening the city wall, and there is an army stationed thirty miles outside the city, with the momentum of forming horns, responding to each other, intending to hinder our attack." The criminal officer behind him, Pegasus, came over, stood in front of Xiao Niangniang's car, and said.
Xiao Niangniang's brows frowned slightly.
"General Xingli, the palace and General Tang are the front, and General Tang is the commander of the three armies, how can the news of this spy be told to you in advance? If there is an urgent military situation, waiting for you to come and report it, wouldn't it be a big mistake? Xiao Niangniang didn't seem to be interested in the military situation of the criminal subordinate, but asked.
"This ......" Xingli couldn't answer for a while, thought about it, and explained, "I'm afraid that the spy is my Imperial Forest Sergeant, and he usually only recognizes villains, so he will inform the villain of the news first." ”
"Humph!" Xiao Niangniang was very unhappy, "This palace wants you to follow next to the baggage, because grain and grass are the lifeblood of the three armies, and sending others to this palace is not at ease, if the grain and grass are robbed, won't our army have to sit and wait to be killed?" But you are the first to take the lead, and you leave your post behind without permission, so arrogant, are there still Bengong and General Tang in your eyes? ”
Xingli didn't expect Xiao Niangniang to inflict such two major crimes on herself, and her face turned pale with shock for a while.
"The villain knows his mistake, and asks the mother Chitose to forgive his sins."
"If it weren't for the fact that you have also made many military exploits for my Daliao, how can I spare you this time." Xiao Niangniang said, "Immediately tell the three armies that no one is allowed to violate General Tang's military orders, and if anyone despises General Tang, they will not be tolerated." ”
Xing Li nodded repeatedly.
"Not yet." Xiao Niangniang shouted.
Xing Li retreated, but his gaze quickly swept over Lu Bu's face.
Lu Bu sneered.
"Thank you, Chitose." Seeing that Xingli was walking away, Lu Bu urged the horse to come to Xiao Niangniang's car and arched his hand.
"General Tang doesn't need to be polite, this palace followed the general this time, with the intention of watching the general's unpredictable plan and the courage of the general to capture the flag. I also hope that the general will show Lu Wang's talents and capture the Xunhua map as soon as possible to cover the mouths of the ministers. Xiao Niangniang's words moved Lu Bu very much.
"Niangniang is a thousand years old and relaxed, the villain will never disappoint Niangniang." Lu Bu said.
Xiao Niangniang's smile hung on the corners of her mouth and eyebrows.
"In this case, after listening to the words of the criminal general, can the general have a good plan to deal with the enemy?"
Lu Bu thought for a moment.
"Since ancient times, the battlefield battle has been based on grain and grass first, and the villain first made people listen to the location of the rebels' grain and grass, so that people set fire to it to shake their military hearts, and then, the villain went to Xulong Town, if he succeeded, he could capture the bandit leader first while he was unprepared, and the rebels would not be able to break it in one fell swoop?" Lu Bu said.
Xiao Niangniang shook her head.
"Although this plan is wonderful, I am afraid that the general will not be able to retreat from the tiger's den, once he loses, will he have to hurt the palace?"
Hearing that there was a lot of concern in Xiao Niangniang's tone, Lu Bu was very pleased.
"Niang Niang Chitose doesn't have to worry, the villain forgives that Xun Huatu and others are definitely not villains. Even if the matter is revealed, the villain will return safely. ”
Xiao Niangniang was still hesitating, but Lu Bu no longer gave her a chance to stop her.
"How far is this place from Sulong Town?" Lu Bu said to the herald beside him.
"The villain just asked the guide officer, it will take two days to march at this speed." The herald replied.
"Okay." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Order the officers and men of the three armies to speed up the march after an hour, starting from tonight, only need to march at night, without delay." ”
"Obey."
Watching the herald gallop away, Lu Bu turned to continue to look at Xiao Niangniang.
"Niang Niang Chitose can get out of the car and rest for a while, and wait for the villain to arrange spies to find out the location of the rebels' grain and grass."
Xiao Niangniang didn't say anything anymore and jumped out of the car.
Four female soldiers armed with long swords followed closely behind Xiao Niangniang.
"Niang Chitose, please take a step to speak." Lu Bu said suddenly.
Xiao Niangniang nodded, turned around and waved her hand at the female soldiers.
The female soldiers stopped in their tracks.
"General Guo is going to Nasu Dragon Town alone?" Xiao Niangniang asked.
"Definitely." Lu Bu suddenly smiled, "The villain is not going alone, he needs to bring one person?" ”
"Who?"
"Is it the mother Chitose?"
"You want the palace to go with you?" Xiao Niangniang was taken aback.
Lu Bu nodded.
"Niang Niang Chitose is agile and has outstanding archery skills, which can help the villain. You and I can pretend to be husband and wife and blend into the town, if we can capture that Xunhua map, won't we save a lot of fighting? ”
Xiao Niangniang pondered for a moment.
"General Tang's arrangement sounds really exciting, but it's just a bit risky."
"Rest assured, there is a villain on the side, which can ensure that Niangniang Chitose is safe." Lu Bu said.
Xiao Niangniang laughed lightly, and took advantage of Lu Bu's unpreparedness to pinch the back of his hand hard.
"I'm afraid you don't just want to exterminate the rebels, right?"
Lu Bu was told that he was in his mind, he just smiled, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's just that this matter needs to be kept strictly secret, otherwise I am afraid that the three armies will know that we are not in the camp, which will cause a commotion." ”
"It's not difficult." Xiao Niangniang said, "General Fang Cai ordered to march at night, presumably its meaning has been understood, we can enter the town before the arrival of the three armies, and if it goes well, we can return to the camp before the soldiers know." ”
"That's exactly what the villain meant." Lu Bu replied, "If we can really burn the rebels' baggage, we should join forces with the outside, how can Xulong Town survive for a long time?" ”
"Okay, according to the general's wishes." Xiao Niangniang was aroused by Lu Bu and nodded.
Night is coming.
According to Lu Bu's orders, the soldiers began to march in the night.
Xiao Niangniang quickly changed clothes with a close-fitting female soldier.
Although the female soldiers tried their best to dissuade them, Xiao Niangniang was unmoved.
Under the cover of night, the two horses galloped towards the town of Sulong.
Not long after Lu Bu and Xiao Niangniang left, the spies sent by Lu Bu to find out the location of the rebels' grain and grass also disappeared into the night.
According to Lu Bu's instructions, as long as he could get close to the location of his baggage, he would immediately set fire, and the soldiers who arrived outside the town in advance should immediately attack, of course, only make a feint, which was intended to draw the attention of the rebels and cooperate with his and Xiao Niangniang's actions in the town.
Lu Bu and Xiao Niangniang came to Xulong Town in the evening of the next day.
Although it is called a town, it is not much smaller than Linhuang Mansion.
Since the officers and soldiers who had come to clear the area had approached, the soldiers guarding the city gate checked the passers-by very carefully.
Lu Bu really saw the garrison not far from the front of Xulong Town.
As Xing Li said, these soldiers are stationed here, and their intention is to respond to the soldiers in the town, which shows that this Xunhua map is not an idle person.
The two of them jumped off their horses at a distance from the city gate and quickly changed into ordinary Khitan clothes.
"The general has no halberd in his hand, how can he fight the enemy?" Xiao Niangniang couldn't help but worry when she saw that Lu Bu had also hidden the halberd.
Lu Bu smiled faintly.
"If you have a halberd in your heart, why do you need to have a halberd in your hand?"
Xiao Niangniang returned with the same smile.
"General Tang is bold, but he is also frivolous."
Some people died, but not completely......
