Chapter 470: A Greater Harvest
Three days ago, Fengqi camped.
"Remember what I gave you?" Victor looked coldly, and the still smug general standing in front of him asked in a low voice.
"Did I stress to you: Your mission is only to reconnoitre, reconnoitre! You must not let the Aojin side detect your existence, let alone have any contact with them!"
"Isn't there anything else I say that is clear?"
"You don't know the situation at that time, as soon as Lei Bin's army passed through Guò, the fourth prince of Aojin chased after him with people. I was worried that something would affect your plans, so I attacked them!"
"Don't worry, none of them rushed through my defenses, and Lei Bin couldn't have known that his actions had already been discovered by us!"
"Not only that, but the fourth prince of Aojin was also seriously injured in our raid, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of his men, I would definitely be able to bring his head to you!" Speaking of this, the general also showed a little regret.
"You!" Victor was completely enraged by the stupidity of the general in front of him, and he jerked himself up from his chair.
"My lord, General Les's move is tantamount to severing the connection between Lei Bin and Conrad, which will inevitably accelerate the speed of Lei Bin's demise!" Hamilton was worried that Victor would make some impulsive decision under his anger, so he hurriedly got up and stepped in the middle of Victor and Les.
After Victor took over as commander-in-chief of the front, the first thing he did was to move Hamilton's line of fire to the front and promote him to chief of staff of the army.
Borrowing Hamilton's prestige in the army, Victor Shun lì gained a firm foothold in the army, and it was also with Hamilton's help that Victor's 'granary' plan was implemented and executed!
At this time, he saw Hamilton stop him. Victor was disgruntled, but he thought of Hamilton's previous help to him. He couldn't continue to blame Les. With a casual excuse, Victor waved Les out of the big tent.
"This Les is too much! He blatantly disobeys orders. How dare he ask me for credit!" As soon as Les walked out of the tent, Victor stood up again.
"How can a small fourth prince compare to that seventy or eighty thousand Aojin army?! If he attacks Bo Bald, arouses Lei Bin's vigilance, changes his marching route, or even gives up attacking the 'granary', then our hard work for so many days will be in vain!"
"It's ridiculous that he's still smug there!If I hadn't seen your face today, I would have just had someone tie him up!" Victor was indeed choked by Les's anger, and his breathing became rapid.
"Don't! Les is the nephew of our Prime Minister Rebudawa, who is currently in charge of our logistics. What if I sanction his nephew at this time?"
"What, you're worried about him making things difficult for me?" Victor smiled coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
"Prime Minister Rebudawa is generous, benevolent, humble and prudent, and will never do anything detrimental to the interests of the country for the sake of a Les!"
"But it's precisely for this reason that it's even more difficult for you to punish his nephew too much! After all, you still have to meet and deal with the prime minister often in the future, you don't want to make yourself feel uncomfortable every time you see him, do you?!"
"And, in the end, Les's is only his meritorious work, and he doesn't mean to disobey your orders! You can see it, except this time. He has always been resolute in carrying out your orders. Will you just raise your hand and let him go for my sake this time?" Hamilton smiled at Victor.
"Hey!" Victor understood that Hamilton had a point, and he had to reluctantly accept the reality.
"By now Conrad should have known that the so-called 'granary' was nothing more than a trap. What do you think he'll do?"
"After the fourth prince fled back, Conrad immediately strengthened the security inside and outside the camp of Aojin, and our men could not get close to it at all! Conduct a covert observation of the Aojin Barracks. ”
"So?" Victor didn't make his words completely clear this time, but Hamilton understood what he meant. Nodding slightly to him.
"Looks like this Conrad is even more difficult to deal with than we thought!"
"This guy has always been cautious, which is also the main reason why Emperor Aojin chose him to lead the troops and fight against us this time!"
"After learning about this. I sent additional men and ordered them to monitor every intersection where Conrad might be in contact with Lei Bin. But until you summoned Les, they still didn't find anything!" Hamilton said this, and Hamilton had a puzzled look on his face.
"It's a little wrong! Although Conrad has always been cautious, even if he is ready to stand still and want to watch Lei Bin perish, he must always make some gestures!" Hearing Hamilton's report, Victor quickly sensed that Conrad was unusual.
"I agree with you, and I find Conrad's appearance a little strange, so I have sent out almost all the scouts in the camp, and have increased our reconnaissance area several times. At the moment, I'm still waiting for news from them!"
In any case, it is impossible for Conrad to ignore Lei Bin, otherwise, Emperor Aojin will not let him go lightly in the future! He must have activated some secret passage that we don't know about!"
"I thought so too!But I've tried my best to find out where the passage is!I'm ashamed of your trust!" Hamilton said embarrassedly, looking at Victor in shame.
"It's okay! After all, this is not our own country, and some passages that we don't know about are normal! General, don't worry too much!"
"Actually, I'm not worried about getting in touch with each other at all!"
"Before the attack on the four princes, I didn't really care if they could get in touch, and even said that I also hoped that Conrad's envoy could appear in front of Lei Bin!, but now" Hamilton thought that Victor was comforting himself by saying this, and his expression became more and more embarrassed.
As the two were talking, one of Victor's cronies suddenly walked in and handed him a note.
At this moment, even if Conrad lifted Bo Bald in front of Lei Bin, he was afraid that he might not believe Conrad's words. When Victor read the words on the note, his slightly nervous mood immediately relaxed.
"As soon as I learned of what Les had done, I sent someone to remedy this omission of ours. It's just that I didn't know if my solution would work at the time, so I didn't mention it to you!" Vic said as he handed Hamilton the note in his hand.
"Well, now we can finally carry out our plan with our hands and feet free!"
Hamilton had already taken a keen interest in the note in Victor's hand, and now that he heard Victor say it so firmly, he became more and more curious about the contents of it. Before Victor could hand the note in front of him, Hamilton couldn't wait to meet it.
"Is this true?" Hamilton read the words on the note three times, and to his surprise, he became a little confused.
"It's true!" Victor nodded earnestly to Hamilton.
"I didn't expect you to hide such a clever move!" Hamilton looked back at the note, which he looked at in amazement.
"If there is no accident, Lei Bin may have no way to escape this time!" Hamilton handed the note back to Victor, his eyes completely different from before.
"Do you have the confidence to capture him alive?" asked Hamilton suddenly, seemingly unintentionally.
Hamilton was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and waved his hand to Victor:
"Your request is too high for me, I don't even dare to guarantee whether I can defeat Lei Bin 100% now!"
"As you said, this is not our territory yet. Once the battle begins, there are bound to be all sorts of things we didn't expect. These, don't let me solve them, that is, they all make me feel a headache!"
"What's more, that Lei Bin is not an easy guy to deal with! Although he is a little self-righteous, this does not mean that he is reckless and stupid. On the contrary, this guy is very cautious on the battlefield and also has a fairly keen sense of smell. In my mind, he has always been a good and excellent general! Aojin's choice of him as Conrad's backup is the best proof of this!"
"With so many uncertain factors accumulating, I don't have the confidence to win against Lei Bin!"
"It's better to leave Conrad's side to me, and you can concentrate on dealing with Lei Bin. If you can, work harder!, just take care of yourself!" Hamilton looked at Victor and smiled.
In fact, Lei Bin is almost a turtle in the urn now, and it is not as difficult as Hamilton described to take him down!
The reason why Hamilton wants to say this is for only one purpose: to give Victor the credit for encircling and destroying Lei Bin!
At present, on the surface, it seems that Victor has taken over the command of the army at the front, but both Hamilton and Victor himself know very well that the generals are only temporarily subservient to Victor's noble status.
In fact, the vast majority of generals in the army were not optimistic about Victor's 'debut', and some of them were even waiting to see Victor's jokes.
In the army, what is really convincing is the real military exploits! And this is Victor's weakness.
Victor's individual abilities are unquestionable, he just lacks a chance to prove himself. Hamilton knew this!
Under such circumstances, Hamilton would naturally not be stupid enough to think that Victor would really give him the great credit of 'eliminating Lei Bin'.
It's just that his Hamilton just appearance is not completely hypocritical, after so many days of contact, he already has a clear understanding of Victor.
Hamilton knew very well that his loss would definitely be rewarded with greater gains from Victor! (To be continued......
