Chapter 191: Retreat to Crane City
After hearing Xing Hao's complaints, Xiao Lie said to everyone: "This battle must be fought, we must not sit here and wait for death, I have a strategy here, which is a way to emulate the traitorous male Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period." At that time, they were also short of food and grass in the army, and the rest was not as rich as ours, so he used such a method, that is, to let the officers and men in the army have enough to eat, and to raise the morale of the army. In the end, tens of thousands of enemies were broken and they had to return triumphantly. ”
"Oh! I know if the method you said is a bit too bad, and give a person to ...... for your own safety Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" Master Zhenxiu understood what Xiao Lie meant, and also knew what method Xiao Lie wanted to use to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and said with some reluctance: "Is there no better way to use it?"
"Personal gains and losses are worthless in the face of the country's righteousness, and it should be his honor to dedicate his most precious things to the country, and even the honor of the whole family. Aren't we also desperate, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use such a sinister and vicious method. I've already thought about all the arrangements I'm going to make in the future, and I'm sure there won't be anything wrong. Xiao Lie explained.
In the end, a few people discussed it again, but they still didn't think of anything except this method, and finally everyone had to reluctantly agree, Xiao Lie said to them with a smile: "When the time comes, you can beat and scold me at will, I will never fight back." When we're done with that, we'll get started. ”
After a few people nodded in agreement, Xiao Lie asked the guards at the door to call the grain supervisor who was in charge of guarding the grain and grass to the handsome tent, and after the grain supervisor knelt down, Xiao Lie smiled at him and said, "How long have you been a grain supervisor in the army?"
The man bowed upwards and replied respectfully, "I have been in the army for nine years, and I have been this grain overseer for more than four years. ”
"Are your parents, wife and children okay?" Xiao Lie continued to ask.
The grain governor prostrate on the ground, his face against the ground and replied respectfully: "My parents are still strong, and I can still go down to the field to do some simple farm work. My family is responsible for taking care of the two elderly people, and the children are now studying in a private school. ”
"Oh, it's a happy place. I asked you here today for one thing, I plan to borrow something from you, I don't know if you want to?" Xiao Lie looked at the grain overseer with a strange smile.
Because the grain superintendent has been prostrate on the ground, he didn't see Xiao Lie's expression at all, but from the tone of voice, he could tell that the meaning of Xiao Lie's words was a little chilly behind his back, and he replied tremblingly: "The family is poor, there is nothing that adults can look at, and the subordinates don't know what the adults want to borrow from the villain?"
Xiao Lie smiled heartily and said casually: "I'm afraid I can't return the things I want to borrow, are you still willing?"
"As long as the little man has this thing in his house, I will definitely give it with both hands and give it to the adult, let alone return it. ”
"I will lend your head to use, and now only your head can save the army from danger. A few of us can't think of such a note, don't worry, when you die, I will treat your parents like my own parents, and I will make proper arrangements for your wife, and as for your children, I plan to stay by my side when they grow up. It's better to be by my side than to be by your side. Are you satisfied with my arrangement?"
The grain superintendent panicked, climbed a few steps forward in a panic, and cried and said to Xiao Lie: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, the villain is absolutely loyal to the adult, and he has no outside intentions. And when the villain was this grain governor, he didn't embezzle half a liter of grain and rice, my lord, you can't treat me like this, my lord. ”
Xiao Lie frowned, and shouted to the guards outside the door: "Come on, escort the grain supervisor down, and immediately correct the law on the spot, he embezzled the military rations of the army, I will not tolerate such a person, and circulate his head in the three armies to set an example." ”
Xiao Lie gave an order, walked in two guards, and dragged the grain supervisor out. The grain governor cried out, but unfortunately it was useless. With a last scream, the life of the overseer was over.
Master Zhenxiu and the other two walked into the tent, watching Xiao Lie didn't say anything for a long time, and finally Master Zhenxiu said to him with difficulty: "I don't want this kind of thing to have a second time, it's just too immoral to do this." I will recite the sutras for him every day, and you should not forget to promise him. ”
Xiao Lie said to the three people in front of him with a shy face: "Don't worry, there will definitely not be a second time, I am also forced to have no choice." Otherwise, who would be willing to use such a dirty method, you know that my heart is also very uncomfortable, I am afraid of nightmares at night. Then he said to Zhao Haiquan: "Brother Zhao, now that the head of the grain superintendent has been hung outside, you can do it according to the method we agreed in advance." ”
Zhao Haiquan shook his head and said that he was helpless, and he had no choice but to go to the three armies as discussed in advance. Zhao Haiquan first asked the generals to cook all the grain, and then moved all the wine and meat to the middle of the barracks, stood on a high platform, pointed to the head of the hanging grain supervisor and said to all the soldiers: "A few days ago, there was such a rumor circulating in the three armies, saying that we have no food, and the rebel troops of the ghost have surrounded us, and we can only wait for death now, this is simply nonsense. The reason why the three armies have been short of food in the past few days is all caused by this grain inspector. He embezzled our military supplies for five days, and now that the facts have been ascertained, the truth is in front of everyone's eyes, and this rumor is self-defeating. In the past few days, the deputy commander Shi has been trying to find a way to let everyone break out, just now, Deputy Commander Xiao Shi has already thought of a way, let's eat a full meal first, and after two hours, we will start to break through and return to the city. Everyone eats a pound of meat, a pound of wine, and dry food and rice. ”
After Zhao Haiquan said this, all the soldiers cheered and jumped up, competing for the wine and food in front of them. Zhao Haiquan looked at it for a while, and then returned to the handsome tent. After the four of them simply ate a bite of something, they quietly waited for the time to pull.
In Hecheng, Yin Xuesong was on the top of the conference hall, pacing back and forth restlessly, the general soldier of Hecheng was dizzy, rubbed his eyes, and said to Yin Xuesong: "I said my lord, can you stop swaying back and forth, I have made you confused." I know you're worried about Deputy Commander Xiao Shi and them, don't worry, the lower officer has already arranged everything, as long as I find that they are slightly unexpected, I will send reinforcements to them as soon as possible. ”
"I'm not worried that your arrangements are not in place, I'm just upset in my heart, and I don't know why, but I just inexplicably rose up a wave of restlessness. Could this be hinting at us?" Yin Xuesong frowned and said to the chief soldier of Hecheng with a haggard face.
"You're just because you haven't had a good rest after a long day's work, and your habit of scaring yourself hasn't changed. Our city is now impregnable, and if you want to easily take us down, they are still tender. What's more, there are more than 20,000 defenders in our city, even if it is more than 20,000 pigs, they can't catch them all in one go. You just have to rest steadily, if you go on like this, you can't wait for victory, you have to lie down tired. We still have so many brothers for you to lead, and your body must not go wrong, otherwise we will not have the backbone. ”
This Hecheng general soldier has the best relationship with Yin Xuesong on weekdays, and listens to him the most, although Xiao Lie's character is more acceptable to everyone, but this general soldier just doesn't eat his set, in his heart, this calm and unremarkable Yin Xuesong is the last person he admires. This is also the reason why he has been by Yin Xuesong's side, which makes his heart very stable and steady.
Yin Xuesong turned around and sat on the chair, fiddling with a teacup in his hand, and said to the chief soldier of Hecheng: "What did you say about the last news that came back?"
"My lord, you have asked this matter several times, and I have told you several times. The last news came back that Deputy Commander Xiao had only engaged the rebel troops of the ghost once, and the rest of the time they were in the barracks watching each other. ”
"I sent out more than a dozen contact butterflies, and none of them responded, and even the contact butterflies that didn't send the message came back, so how can I not worry. I'm really afraid that something will happen to them, and if we don't find out about their danger in time, then they will be in trouble. Yin Xuesong said worriedly.
The chief soldier of Hecheng swore and replied with confidence: "Don't worry, there will never be such an accident." The last general is willing to use his life as a guarantee, even if he delays a moment and a half to find out that something is wrong, the last general will not need to ask for this necklace head, according to the mood of the adult, when he wants to take it away. ”
"I don't mean that either, you just let me wait quietly by myself, don't tell me this, as long as they don't come back for a while, I can't feel at ease. ”
"Well, the last general is just outside the door, and if there is anything that needs to be done, just give orders, and the last general will do his best. After speaking, the general soldier of Hecheng walked out of the meeting hall and stood at the door, ready to obey Yin Xuesong's dispatch at any time.
Xiao Lie, on the other hand, ordered the seven thousand men and horses in the camp, all of them went into battle lightly, and all the things in the camp were abandoned and thrown away, and with an order, everyone shouted and rushed towards the direction of Hecheng. This time he was caught off guard by the evil spirit, he never thought that Xiao Lie would actually give up this important road and rush back to Crane City.
The evil demon immediately ordered that the demon would lead 30,000 horses to gallop to the besieging troops. When Xiao Lie's troops engaged the first-layer encircling troops of the ghosts, the group of ghosts were surprised to find that these people in front of them seemed to be crazy. All kinds of tricks are used, and there is no discipline at all, let alone any formation. In the chaos, Xiao Lie ordered Xing Hao and Zhao Haiquan to use the five thunder talismans to bombard the ghosts.
Just when they were in full swing, a soldier ran from behind and said to Xiao Lie: "Deputy Commander Shi, the rear of the army is lost. The latest chapter of "Kanto Road Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
