Chapter 51 Women and Dust Girls (19)
The second prince was in the camp tent to discuss with everyone the strategy to relieve the danger and store the city, so he made a decision, and after the arrival of Chen Li's army, the two armies would be reconciled, and then they would attack back and forth to relieve the siege of the city.
At this moment, 100,000 soldiers were in a hurry, bowing their heads and reporting with red ears: "Report...... The big thing is not good, the second prince of Qiqi, the grain and grass we ordered to be escorted by unknown people were suddenly burned, all destroyed, and the losses were heavy. ”
Zhou Hongyu was shocked to hear this, his face suddenly lost color, and he panicked, but after thinking about it carefully, he already knew a lot in his heart, and felt that it must be done by this woman with a clever strategy, so he closed his eyes and thought hard for a while, thinking: I, Zhou Hongyu, consider myself resourceful and unparalleled in the world, but I didn't expect that because of a moment of negligence, this little woman would have a chance, on the contrary, it also proves that this woman is indeed a good soldier, and she is a rare talent.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed from the shocked state just now to a look of ecstasy, and in an instant, not only was he not worried, but he laughed heartily.
Seeing this state, everyone was puzzled, now that all the grain and grass have been destroyed, and seeing that this battle has been lost before it has been fought, why is the second prince still so calm?
The soldiers under his command were really puzzled, so they bowed and said: "Second Highness, now that our situation is very dangerous, there is no food, how can the soldiers still win the battle? Why haven't you been worried at all?"
Who would have expected that Zhou Hongyu had a unique idea, and suddenly said brightly: "That's right, although all our grain and grass have been destroyed, it can make this prince see even more that there are such women and strange women in the world, it's worth it!"
"Your Highness, you must have overestimated this woman, how can a mere female person be capable? I am afraid that he only holds an insignificant embroidery needle in his hand, how can he carry the majestic iron sword? How is it worth us to exchange so much grain and grass?" The general under his command felt unconvinced, thinking that the second prince praised her too much.
I saw that the second prince shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not that this prince praised her, do you remember that Qin Mugong only used five sheepskins to exchange for Baili Xi, what happened later? ”
After hearing the words of the second prince, the soldiers on the left and right sides all talked about it, feeling that the second prince was really exalting this woman.
It is said that Xianyu is always paying attention to the actions of the second prince, she brakes with quiet, and responds to all changes with the same, and what the second prince said makes her feel that this person can bring the blessings of the world, but the time has not come, Xianyu can only continue to wait and see the changes, and continue to pay attention to him to see if he is consistent in his words and deeds, and whether he is truly worthy of the great responsibility.
Who knew that outside the camp tent at this time, I saw three people, with their hair scattered, their clothes shabby, and their faces covered with carbon ash, like beggars, they shrunk their heads, shrunk their bodies, and slowly walked towards the barracks, and when they reached the door of the camp tent, the soldiers guarding the door stopped and said: "Stop, who are you? The barracks are forbidden to the forbidden place, and idlers are not allowed to enter." ”
"I am Adjutant General Chen Li, and I have an urgent military report to His Royal Highness II, so let me in quickly. I saw that this person was embarrassed and self-signed was Deputy General Chen Li.
"Hahaha! What? We heard you right? Just like you bears, you still want to pretend to be General Chen, our General Chen is extremely brave, and the general of the three levels of power is powerful, how can he be as downtrodden as you, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I will arrest you all, get out of here. The soldier couldn't believe it, so he scolded in a solemn tone.
"I'm really Chen Li, because I encountered some things on the way, you can see clearly, let me in, if you want to delay His Highness's affairs, you can't eat and walk around." The man wiped the soot from his face with his hand, hoping to reveal his true face so that the soldiers could recognize him.
The soldier looked at his half-clean and half-dirty face like a hunting dog eating the sun, and then listened to the voice, and thought carefully about the fact that it was indeed somewhat similar to General Chen in the past, so he hurriedly said, "You...... Are you really General Chen? You are waiting here, and I will immediately report to His Royal Highness II. ”
After the soldiers' report, the three of them entered the second prince's tent in despair, Chen Li looked at the second prince, and could no longer hide the grievances in his heart, like a three-year-old child, shouted and cried bitterly: "Second Highness, Second Highness, the minister really deserves death, accidentally fell into the enemy's plan for a while, 20,000 troops were annihilated, only the three of us fought to the death to escape, please spare your life!"
Zhou Hongyu was surprised, he didn't expect that the matter of grain and grass had not been resolved, and there was another thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he instantly said with an angry face: "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?"
Chen Li bowed his head and reported everything to him, but still shrunk into a ball and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Zhou Hongyu pondered for a while, but he didn't expect to point to the three lost dogs in the hall, and he couldn't hide his laughter anymore, and then laughed.
Everyone was even more puzzled, just now they knew that the grain and grass had been destroyed, and they were smiling, but now it was the 20,000 heroes of Jin Yuanguo who had lost it, and he laughed even more, what was the reason for this? Everyone looked at this second prince with ingenious ideas and was puzzled.
After a while, I only heard Zhou Hongyu say: "This woman is really a good strategy, rare! It's really rare! Look! You see! The general of the mighty three passes is no match for a little woman, and she will fall for her trick to lure the enemy, so embarrassed that she still has the face to come back, crying like this in front of this prince, showing the appearance of women and children, you tell me how this prince should punish you?"
Chen Li immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Second Highness, the last general originally wanted to die for the country, but when he thought about it, he would save his life and come back to report to you, so we desperately rushed out of the encirclement, please be merciful!"
"It's really ridiculous, Chen Li, where have you read all your military books, because of your negligence, you actually destroyed the 20,000 army of my Jin Yuan Kingdom, how can this prince spare you today. Zhou Hongyu hated that iron could not become steel, and felt that Chen Li was too useless, so he was angry.
As soon as the words fell, everyone knelt down to intercede for this senior vice general Chen, on the grounds that the country was at the time of employing people, and it was not appropriate to cut the generals before the battle, and wait for the class master to return to the court before punishing.
Zhou Hongyu also felt that it was very reasonable, after all, it was not good for him to go on the expedition at this time, and he also agreed not to kill Chen Li at this time, the biggest reason was that because of Chen Li's strategy, he saw more that Su Duojiao's intelligence and strategy in the art of war were all superior, no matter what the price, he hoped to recruit this person and do his best for Jin Yuanguo. Then Zhou Hongyu will make a decision, what will it be?
