Chapter 162: Empty City?

Because in front of them, there is a crowd of old and weak women and children, and they are unarmed. They all looked at them with apprehension and fear.

"What, what the fuck is going on? Who's going to tell me about it. ”

When Gong Du saw this scene, his big head was stunned, this situation was too different from what he imagined. According to the general pattern, after they easily attacked the big city, there should be some ambush in the city.

Then there will be a scuffle, and the side with great momentum will win.

Gong Du was ready to stain his robe with blood, but what was the situation now? Ambush? Could these be ambushes? Are you kidding.

Attacking with all his might, but encountering this situation, Gong Du suddenly had an urge to vomit blood, and felt that he punched the cotton.

"General, what's going on?" The deputy general in charge of covering came one step back, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked.

"Who do you ask me, I don't know, there are no ambushes in the city at all, just these ordinary people, it's really alive and damn, what about Liu Ye and them?" Gong Du said depressedly.

said that the ordinary people still looked up to them too much, and after the rubbing of thieves and others from all walks of life, the people had long been miserable, and they were like skin and bones. Although it is better than before, it is impossible to recover without a year or two.

Although he has followed Liu Ye for a while, Liu Ye has not withheld the people's food. But after all, the time is short, which makes these people, everyone look insufficient.

The words old, weak, sick and disabled are the most appropriate to put on these people.

"How so?" The lieutenant was puzzled. But in any case, this war is over, and these people will be the people under their rule in the future, and they will not be able to attack these people.

"I always feel that something is wrong, could it be that they are hiding too deeply, you lead the troops to look around, don't suddenly come out of nowhere. I'll send someone to inform my lord and ask what the hell is going on. ”

Gong Du said a word, then turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the people in front.

"Okay." The deputy general said a word, and immediately sent a personal soldier to pass a message to Liu Pi, and then he himself marched to the depths of the city to search for any ambush here.

Gong Du slowly came to the front of the people, Gong Du glanced at it, most of them were people under the age of forty, and it was rare to see people over the age of forty.

He knew that this group of people had been devastated by the bandits and others, and the old and frail people were estimated to be dying, and the rest were still surviving.

After looking at it for a long time, I saw an old man about fifty years old with gray hair. Gong couldn't help but walk over, clasped his fists and asked, "This old man, I don't know what happened in this Shouchun City, why are you the only ones staying here?" ”

When the old man heard this, he first glanced at him in fear, and then whispered: "If the general is looking for Lord Liu, he has already led his troops to leave six days ago, and before leaving, he told us to stay here for a good time." And repeatedly explained that there should be no resistance to the general's army. ”

What the old man said was the truth, and Liu Ye left that day. But they are very concerned about these people, afraid that the people will make senseless resistance in a panic, or scatter and flee, thus losing their lives.

He also explained that he could not resist Liu Bi's army, and even provided information to Liu Pi's generals.

Anyway, their army had already set off for Runan, and when Liu Pi's army arrived, it was estimated that it would be five or six days later.

When Liu Pi realized that the situation was wrong, it would definitely be too late to lead his troops back to Runan.

"Thank you, sir." Gong Du nodded when he heard this, and said very politely.

Immediately, Gong Du ordered: "Rein in your blades, and don't offend the people in the city, they will be the lord's people in the future." ”

"No." The soldiers agreed, put away their blades, and no longer looked at each other.

"That Liu Ye is also a little self-aware, knowing that 5,000 bandits are definitely not our 10,000 elite opponents, so he decisively chose to abandon the people and led the elite soldiers to leave. Even if he knows each other, he also told the people before leaving, don't make any resistance, this can reduce the casualties on both sides, and it can be regarded as a heart. ”

At this moment, Gong Du's heart actually had a strange impression of Liu Ye. If Gong knew the cause and effect, what would he think?

On this side, the deputy general Gong Du felt that the battle was over, and Liu Ye fled with the army. On the other side, after following the order of the deputy general, the pro-soldier immediately rushed back to Liu Bi's side.

When the messenger came to Liu Pi and Liu Bei's side, he reported to the soldiers. "Report to the lord. General Gong Du had already taken the lead in leading his troops to break through the city, and after entering the city, he conducted a comprehensive investigation and did not find any ambush. But Liu Ye and the generals have long since disappeared. ”

"What? Captured so quickly? General Gong is really a fierce general like no other in the world. Liu Pi was taken aback, but then sneered: "Liu Ye is really a greedy person who is afraid of death, and he actually escaped." I also want to see how he begs me for mercy, it's really boring. ”

Liu Bei suddenly felt abnormal when he heard this, and he carefully asked the old man for verification, and only came up with the result that Liu Ye led his troops to leave. I don't know why or where to go. But Liu Bi on the side was happy, he didn't want to think about it, he only thought that Liu Ye was afraid of him and fled.

"Hahahaha, this Shouchun is simply at your fingertips, at your fingertips. I knew it was going to be like this, and you didn't believe it at first. Xuande, in the future, you must be bold and careful, learn more from me Liu Bi and be decisive in doing things. Immediately after, Liu Bi laughed wildly. Very proud.

At the beginning, Liu Bei persuaded him not to attack, but now, the result is too obvious, Liu Bei misjudged, he is the right person.

Liu Bi was laughing, and the smug was naturally released to Liu Bei. But Liu Bei was not moved at all, but frowned even more, although it was a fact that Liu Ye escaped. But Liu Bei always felt a little uneasy, thinking that he Liu Bei was also an old man. He has always been very accurate to his sixth sense, especially when he encounters danger, how can he escape death every time.

Although Liu Bei has realized that something is not right, because according to Liu Ye's style, he will definitely not abandon the people without fighting and send them out of the city.

Although there may also be the possibility that Liu Pi is strong, after all, he is a prince with 10,000 elite soldiers. But Liu Ye himself started from a weak body, and it should be impossible for him to be timid enough to run away, and he doesn't even have the courage to resist. If this was the case, how could he dare to kill the bandit leader Zheng Bao alone.

Therefore, Liu Bei instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why.

"I don't think it's right, so let's take the people under wrap up early and go back to Runan." Liu Bei said solemnly to Liu Bi.

"How could something be wrong? The situation is obvious, Liu Ye abandoned the people and fled, it is estimated that he should have gone to Liu Biao, and he did not say that he wanted to take refuge in Liu Biao before. Now that they have arrived near Jingzhou, there is anything wrong. Liu Bi said a little disappreciatively.

Immediately, Liu Bi ignored Liu Bei's dissuasion and shouted: "Brothers, this time we have won a big victory, a full 180,000 people, after today, our power will definitely become even stronger, and when Yuan Gong goes south in the future, I will also get a higher status." When the time comes, I will not treat you brothers who follow me in the north and south. Hahaha, tonight, kill pigs and sheep, and reward the three armies. ”

"The Lord is mighty."

"The Lord is mighty."

Suddenly, the soldiers cheered and shouted that Liu Pi was mighty.

Liu Bi became even more complacent when he heard this, he turned to Liu Bei and said, "This big victory, I am also happy in my heart. Tonight, Xuande will have 300 cups of wine with me, and he will not return home if he is not drunk. ”

"Okay." Liu Bei opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Liu Bi to return to Runan as soon as possible, but he knew Liu Pi's character, and he couldn't listen to the persuasion of others at all, so in the end, he still shut up, nodded, and said.

"Hahahaha, refreshing." Seeing this, Liu Pi let out a loud laugh again, and his mood was very happy.

That night, Liu Pi, who won a great victory and won 180,000 people without blood, slaughtered pigs and sheep in the city and rewarded the army.

Near Runan, on an inaccessible path, a large army slowly marched towards Runan County.

This army did not play any banner, but the momentum was there, and even if there was no banner, it would not be mistaken for a rabble.

This army temporarily abandoned 180,000 people and chose to attack Liu Ye's army in Runan.

"Military advisor, ten miles further away is the big city of Runan. This time, we can only bet on whether the information we got is accurate and how many troops Liu Pi has placed in Runan. Liu Ye's carriage walked in the center of the team, and Liu Jie rode his horse beside him and said to Liu Ye in the carriage.

"I believe in the words of my own spies, it is estimated that there are less than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and Liu Pi took more than 8,000 people, so no matter what the result is, I am willing to accept it, even if there is an accident, I believe that the lord will not blame us." Now let's let it go, we don't want to build a large camp today, and we will attack the city by surprise, and we will definitely fight quickly. ”

Inside the carriage, Liu Ye was unmoved when he heard this, and ordered in a low voice.

"No." Liu Jie agreed, and immediately rode his horse to the front to meet a red-faced man, this person was Wei Yan who Liu Xun instructed to dare to come to support, before the army set off, Wei Yan just arrived in Shouchun, handed out Liu Xun's handwritten letter. Liu Ye saw that it was a letter from the lord, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and Liu Xun clearly said in the letter that Wei Yan's ability was that if he led the troops to the battle, he would be a general. Although Liu Ye and Liu Jie had never heard of Wei Yan's name, they did not hesitate at all, and happily handed over the military power in their hands.

They are still quite convinced of their father-in-law's vision.

Liu Xun also sent a letter to Liu Jie, asking him to listen to Wei Yan's command for the time being, and at the same time do a good job in Liu Jie's ideological work.
