Chapter 789: Smart Man

In Weidi, the early spring sun shines on the earth, reflecting the newly budding grass and trees, and the emerald green is dripping.

A large army is marching forward, under the banner of "Sima" and "Baili".

In the middle of the army, Sima Jie and Bai Lice, each riding a domesticated four-rank demon beast, marched side by side.

As he walked, Sima Jie suddenly turned to face the captain of the pro-soldiers beside him, and asked, "At this marching speed, how long will it take to reach Chen County, where the anti-thieves are entrenched?"

The captain of the personal army pondered for a moment, bowed on his horse, and replied: "Returning to the marshal, this place is about two hundred miles away from Chen County, and according to the current marching speed of the army, Chen County can be entered in two days." ”

A hint of surprise appeared on Sima Jie's face: "Is it so fast?"

Bai Lice, who was side by side, turned around and glanced at Sima Jie, and said suspiciously: "Brother Sima, as the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, isn't it good to march fast?"

Sima Jie chuckled and said: "Brother Baili only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, sometimes it's fast, but it's not a good thing." ”

Bai Li Ce looked puzzled and said, "Oh, why is this? ”

Sima Jie pretended to be mysterious and said: "Brother Baili, how about Brother Rong sell it first, and then Brother Baili will explain it slowly." ”

Then Sima Jie shouted loudly with Bai Lize's puzzled face: "Where is the scout camp, why is it almost close to Chen Jun, and there is no news of the anti-thieves?"

This sentence Sima Jie used the power of the grandmaster, so it spread far and wide.

The general of the scout battalion who heard the voice almost crawled in front of Sima Jie, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Marshal Qiqi, the last general sent a total of twelve groups of scouts yesterday to inquire about the news of the enemy army. ”

Sima Jie looked at the scout battalion commander with an expressionless face, and said in an unkind tone: "You haven't returned yet? This place is only two days away from the rebels, and you told Ben Shuai that you can't come back? Do you know what a big crime it is to delay the military plane?"

The scout camp general's face was as pale as dirt, and he bowed again and again: "The commander spares his life, and the last general will urge them to come quickly." ”

"Hmph" Sima Jie snorted coldly, and just wanted to have a seizure, but he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

The general of the scout camp looked ecstatic and shouted: "Listen, commander, they have returned, and the general will call them over." ”

Sima Jie's face was gloomy, and he looked at the scout camp general coldly for a while before he snorted coldly and said, "If you're lucky, why don't you go and bring people over." ”

"The last general obeys," the scout battalion general hurriedly got up from the ground and ran to the front army to meet the returning scouts.

When the scout camp was about to leave, Bai Lice frowned slightly and said, "Brother Sima, didn't he seem a little harsh just now?"

Sima Jie said disapprerovingly: "What kind of harsh door is this? A group of big-headed soldiers have always been afraid of power and morality, if you and my brothers are kind to them, they may be bullied." ”

"Only by strong means can they be honest and obedient. Little brother, I originally wanted to use the scout camp general to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, but this time he was lucky and let him go. ”

"If there is a next time, the younger brother will be severely punished. ”

Bai Lice thought it was inappropriate, opened his mouth slightly, wanted to persuade again, thought about it carefully, there was no need to offend his colleague Sima Jie for the sake of a scout battalion general, and finally said nothing.

Sima Jie saw that Baili Ce was persuaded by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little more proud between his eyebrows.

After more than ten breaths, the scout battalion general dragged Lian Lian, pulled an extremely tired scout to come quickly, bowed and saluted: "Qi Qi two handsome, people have brought here." ”

After speaking, he pushed the scout and said urgently: "Don't tell the two marshals quickly, what news have you found." ”

The scout said in a hoarse voice: "Qi Qi two marshals, the little inquiry learned that the rebels recruited troops everywhere in order to fight against the imperial army, and now the rebels entrenched in Chen County are not 10,000 as mentioned before, but more than 50,000. ”

Sima Jie's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you sure there are as many as 50,000 rebels?"

The scout replied in an unusually affirmative tone, "The little one dares to vouch for his life." ”

Sima Jie laughed when he heard this: "God helps me." ”

When the people present heard this, they were dumbfounded.

Some people even looked at Sima Jie with idiot eyes.

Sima Jie immediately came back to his senses, realized that he was a little out of shape, coughed lightly, and explained: "What this Shuai laughs at is that the rebel rabble is vulnerable, the more people there are, the more feats we can gain, don't you think this is a good thing?"

Only then did everyone present react, and the scout camp general said with a flattering face: "The handsome man is wise." ”

Sima Jie looked smug, but pretended to be disdainful and said: "How can you speculate on the wisdom of this marshal? ”

The scout battalion will dare to stay longer, and once again drag the scout away.

After the scout camp general left, Sima Jie urged his mount, approached Bailize, and said in a low voice: "Brother Baili, junior brother has something I want to discuss with you. ”

Sima Jie's battle made Bai Lice's heart full of doubts, and asked, "I don't know what Brother Sima wants to say?"

Sima Jie looked around, there was no one else except himself, Bailice, and the two of them, and Fang said in a low voice: "The junior brother wants to ask Brother Baili and the younger brother to write to Your Majesty together, the information is wrong, and the rebels are as many as tens of thousands." Although you and I keep in mind Your Majesty's will and fight bravely to kill the enemy, the enemy's resistance is very stubborn, and we may not be able to achieve full success in the short term, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins. ”

When Bai Lice heard this, he almost exclaimed: "Brother Sima, lying about the military situation is a crime of bullying the king, if it is found out by His Majesty, you and I will not escape death." ”

Sima Jie said with a straight face: "Brother Baili's words are wrong, how can this be a lie about the military situation? ”

Baili Ce was happy: "Brother Sima, isn't he joking, obviously the rebels only have 50,000 people, how can there be more than 100,000?"

Sima Jie said seriously: "The secret guard also said that the traitor Liu Ji only has 10,000 under his command, and now there are 50,000 in Chen County alone, what does Brother Baili say?"

Bailize's face was stunned, and he was speechless.

After a while, Bai Li Ce looked at Sima Jie with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Brother Sima want?"

Sima Jie stretched out his hand, pretended to flick the dust on his shoulder, and replied, "Little brother just wants to have more military merits." ”

Bai Lice frowned slightly and said, "In that case, why doesn't Brother Sima pacify the rebels first, and then find a way to report more military merits?"

Sima Jie shook his head and said, "This plan is too fake, and the younger brother has no intention of using it." ”

Baili Ce said with a helpless expression: "But it is meaningless for Brother Sima to do this, as Brother Sima said, the rabble of the rebels is vulnerable, how can there be a vicious battle?"

"Your Majesty only needs to check casually to know that you and I are exaggerating, how will you and I explain to Your Majesty at that time?"

Sima Jie smiled slightly, and said with a Zhizhu expression in his hand: "The junior brother has already thought about it, control the rhythm of the attack, and strive to put down the rebellion for more than half a month." ”

Baili Ce was shocked by Sima Jie's words again: "Didn't Li Xin say that Liu Ji is cowardly and unscrupulous, and he should use his power to suppress people and fight quickly?"

When Sima Jie heard this, he said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Brother Baili, you are too simple, if you quell the rebellion according to Li Xin's strategy, then is this battle exploit of you and me, or is it Li Xin's?"

"The little brother tried his best, but he didn't want him to win the emperor's heart in vain, why did you and I work hard to get the war exploits, and in the end, I made a wedding dress for Li Xin?"

Bai Lize's face was stunned when he heard this: "But ......"

Sima Jie said with an impatient expression: "Brother Baili, what's so good about this, His Majesty asked Ji that day, he Li Xin was in the limelight with several experiences in leading troops, are you willing to be pressed by him?"

"You and I are from a Jiangmen family, how can you lose to the son of a small official? You must listen to me about this, otherwise he will return to Chang'an one day, what face will you and I have to face the Jiangmen family in Chang'an?"

Baili Ce pondered for a long time, sighed and said, "Then follow what Brother Sima said." ”
