Chapter 614: Conspiracy and Infighting
Rear Battalion of the Pioneer Army......
"Hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......" At the injury camp, Su Jia was bandaging the knife wound on her arm for Haha, but Haha let out a scream of pain.
"What's the big man's name, bear with it!-" Su Jia spoke unceremoniously, while scolding Haha's complaints, while increasing the force of the bandaging on his hands.
Su Jia's temper is clear, when she was still Hongyun, the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" were not less "beaten";
No, Xiao Tian also cast a blaming glance from time to time on the side, and said angrily: "Now you know the lesson...... Because of you, we had to let go of the enemy's commander-in-chief who had been captured with great difficulty, and the battle deployment to persuade Yizhou to surrender had to be reshuffled......"
"It's not all because of me, it was recommended by Miss Murong Mao, I just went to accompany and protect ...... Oops, it hurts-" Haha knew that he was derelict in his duties, but when he wanted to defend himself, he was woken up by Su Jia's bandaged hand.
"I shouldn't have promised you to accompany Sister Ying in the first ......place," Xiao Tian shook his head and said helplessly, "If it were me or Brother Hu Yidi, I wouldn't have made such a farce of exchanging prisoners......"
"That's not necessarily, that guy called 'Qin Yu' seems to be really difficult to deal with, when I confronted him, his strength was amazing, and when he slashed through the axe, his hands were numb, and he couldn't even ride the horse steadily......" Haha recalled and said, "Thanks to Qin Yu's good temper, Sakura and I were almost beaten in the dungeon, he not only stopped it in time, but also let Sakura Mei go......"
"Is it really that powerful?" Xiao Tian seemed to be a little unconvinced, after all, he hadn't seen Qin Yu's skills with his own eyes. "If I have the chance, I'd like to see it......"
"Persuade big brother, don't go...... It's not that you can't do martial arts. That Qin Yu seems to not only have good skills, but also command the troops well. In case there are three long and two short, and you are caught again, Miss Su is so sad that she doesn't take out her anger at me every day...... Oops-" was saying Su Jia's "bad words" again, Su Jia's hands were fierce again, making Haha scream in pain again and again, and cast a murderous gaze, making Haha gasp in pain.
"But he still let go of Sister Sakura, it seems that he is a very interesting guy......" Xiao Tian thought about Qin Yu's various things, and said with an association. "And when the prisoners were exchanged today, if he hadn't rescued him in time, Sakura Mei would probably have been more than lucky...... In order to save Sakura, I disregarded the face of my superiors and protected us as enemies......"
Haha thought about it, and said, "I'm thinking...... Could that Qin Yu be interesting to Miss Murong?"
"Huh?" Xiao Tian said with a hesitant look in his eyes.
Haha continued: "It's true, I found out when I was in the enemy's dungeon, that Qin Yu's eyes were really different when he looked at Miss Murong, when he negotiated the conditions of the prisoner. He deliberately went out to avoid me...... There is also Miss Murong, when she was fighting on the battlefield at the beginning, she couldn't wait to pick Qin Yu with one shot, but when she came back, his brother said a bad word about Qin Yu. Miss Murong retorted excitedly...... As far as I can see, the relationship between the two of them is definitely not normal......"
"Are you also good at the relationship between men and women?" Xiao Tian asked in surprise.
"Believe me, girls believe in those who long. will have such a reaction, don't believe we do an experiment......" haha smiled evilly. Then he said loudly, "Huh...... Big brother, since you look down on General Qin Yu so much. Then the next time you go to the battlefield, you can take the lead instead of Brother Zichuan, anyway, if you are caught by the enemy at that time, we will not bother to save you...... Ouch!-"
Before the words fell, there was an unbearable sharp pain in Haha's shoulder, and it was so painful that Haha was about to cry - it was Su Jia, I saw that Su Jia's eyes were the same as knives, and I didn't say anything about the strength in my hand, it was good to grit my teeth and not pull out the knife and stab it.
Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia's expression, seemed to understand, swallowed saliva and nodded, his face was slightly red but he didn't dare to make a sound.
It's not over, Su Jia bandaged the wound "tightly", and slammed Haha's arm hard, and it was so painful that Haha couldn't stop crying out in pain. Su Jia stood up angrily, turned her head and said angrily: "That's it, don't move until the injury is healed - if there is another moth, I will cut off your hand......" After speaking, Su Jia left without looking back.
Xiao Tian's eyes widened, his face was blushing and he hadn't lived for a long time, but looking at Su Jia's back, he trembled a little in his heart. Haha is even more trembling in a cold sweat, among the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers", he is the one who provokes Su Jia the most every time, and naturally Su Jia is the one he "hates" the most.
"I'm not wrong, ouch......" Haha endured the pain in his hand and finished the last sentence to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian was stunned for a long time, and slowly answered: "The words are good, but you have ignored a problem...... Talking about it, Sakura Mei is powerful, but when it comes to Jia'er, she seems to prefer hands-on ......"
The afternoon passed in peace......
Pioneer Front Battalion......
"Rumble...... Rumbling ...... "There was a sudden sound of wheels in front of the tent, Tang Zhan listened to the noisy movement outside in the tent, and couldn't help but come out to take a look.
I saw that in front of the tent, the soldiers pushed several siege chariots, not only with heavy wooden devices on the body, but also with long-range crossbow weapons on the head, which can be described as multi-purpose. However, Tang Zhan did not order his soldiers to prepare these before, and the army had never heard of this advanced weapon, so he was deeply puzzled.
Coincidentally, Lu Jing also came out of the tent, looked at the chariot outside the tent, smiled and said, "Oh, my baby guy is finally finished-"
As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Lu Jing's idea, and Tang Zhan couldn't help asking, "Jing'er, these are all you...... Arranged?"
"Yes," Lu Jing replied habitually, "these are weapons used to deter enemy troops, and they will come in handy soon......
"But where did you come from? I haven't heard of the marshal or General Chang allocating ...... to my army," Tang Zhan continued to ask.
Lu Jing responded with a smile: "These are all inventions made by Brother Xiao these days and nights, he designed the engineering drawings, and then carved them by the skilled craftsmen in the army...... I have to say that Brother Xiao is really a genius of mechanical arts, and he invented the 'Anklet Repeater' cavalry to show his might in battle. This time, the invented weapon was used to siege the city......"
Tang Zhan nodded incredulously at first, but then asked, "But isn't the task given to us by General Chang to persuade us to surrender? Wouldn't our rash attack of the city disrupt our previous plans?"
Lu Jing smiled knowingly. Then he said: "You are wrong, these chariots are just one of the uses, and more importantly, these will be bait to attract enemy troops!"
"Bait?" Tang Zhan became more and more confused the more he listened.
Lu Jing nodded and continued: "Our original intention was to persuade the defenders of Yizhou to surrender, and it was not possible to attack the city, so we thought of luring the main force of the enemy army out of the city, and then ambush and capture the main general of the enemy army, and then persuade him to surrender...... But because of Qin Yu's appearance. Coupled with Sakura Mei's negligence, there was an accident in the plan, and the enemy commander who was finally caught had to be returned to the other party...... But in this way, with the first lesson, Luo Mu, the main general of the enemy army, will definitely not send troops to meet the battle, and he will definitely defend the city with a conservative style. Therefore, if you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you must use other tricks again......"
"Since it is to lure the enemy into battle, then these siege chariots are not the opposite. Jing'er, what can you do with these 'guys'?" Tang Zhan still puzzled.
Lu Jing continued to smile and said, "Pay attention, these chariots are all wooden...... In the first battle of Yizhou, the enemy not only realized our strength, but also got a good general Qin Yu. In the later battle, the troops led by Qin Yu will be the main force, and Qin Yu will have the heart to regain the encouragement of the soldiers. As long as Qin Yu is taken, the defenders' hearts will fall apart...... And want to lure it out of the city. It has to be advantageous to the other party, Qin Yu is well versed in the art of war. As long as we let them gain an advantage by attacking with fire, the enemy army will definitely go out of the city to pursue and take advantage of the victory, and our army will be able to ambush and lure it to attack -- so tonight our army will attack the city with chariots to disturb the enemy's army, and Qin Yu will definitely break through the formation with fire when he sees the wooden chariots; and our army will pretend to be defeated and retreat to the jungle, and with the art of war that Qin Yu is familiar with, he will definitely pursue with fire and victory...... As long as you lure him into the encirclement of our army, the plan will be successful!"
Tang Zhan made a lot of sense after hearing this, but he didn't realize that Lu Jing could think so far with his strategy. However, Tang Zhan also knew that this strategy might not necessarily succeed, so he still asked worriedly: "But Qin Yu is cautious, will he be so easily fooled?"
Lu Jing smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, that Qin Yu has fought several generals of our army, and he is familiar with the martial arts of our army, but he has never seen my Lu Jing's plan." Calculate him for the first time tonight, he won't be overly cautious, we just need to set up an ambush at the jungle pass......"
After Lu Jing finished speaking, Tang Zhan nodded knowingly, and had already decided to deploy tonight's battle......
The cold wind is over, the night is cold and bleak, and in the city of Yizhou, the lonely lamp does not sleep......
"Why did you stop General Ben? When the prisoners were exchanged today, General Ben could have killed the female doll, but you ......" In the general's mansion, Luo Mu seemed to be still unhappy about what happened during the day, because Qin Yu actually injured his own general in front of both the enemy and me, but saved the enemy soldiers.
Qin Yu was unmoved, and said with a serious face: "General, if you really kill the enemy soldiers, not only will you damage the reputation of our army, but also if you are not calm, the enemy army will definitely lead the troops to attack while the main force of our army has not returned to the city...... General Luo, you are the master of the army, and you must not miss the overall situation because of the matter of face-"
However, looking at Qin Yu's serious face without any flattery, Luo Mu was furious when he saw it, and continued to slander and reprimand: "Hmph, General Qin, your ancestor 'Divine Power General' Qin Shouyue, but a loyal general of the imperial court during the first emperor's period, is it a rebellious heart for you to make such a move today?"
When Qin Yu heard this, his eyes froze, and he immediately responded: "How can General Luo be so outspoke......n? Now the last general desperately captures the enemy general, in exchange for the conditions of the prisoner, in exchange for General Luo, but General Luo still blames the last general, why is this reasonable?"
"Presumptuous!--It seems that the Qin family has passed on your skills as a military general, but has not taught you the rules of the court generals......" Luo Mu continued to speak ruthlessly, "This general is your boss, how dare you speak out to me like this?
It should have been a good thing, but although Qin Yu was a famous general, he was not deeply involved in the world, and he did not understand the flattery and deceit in the officialdom, but his personality retorted bluntly: "General Luo, you have nothing to do with the last general, but the military law and military discipline are all on the battlefield, how can the camp be biased with reason? Today, General Luo has done something wrong, I, Qin Yu, am a loyal and good person in the court, and I am only for the court, and I will never bow my head to you and other crooked wordsโโ"
"You-so bold!" Luo Mu really couldn't tolerate Qin Yu's unruly words, and he even had the urge to kill Qin Yu with a sword in his heart......
"Report-" At the critical moment, a notice came out of the General's Mansion, temporarily stopping the smell of gunpowder between Luo Mu and Qin Yu.
"What's the situation?" Qin Yu turned around and asked before his boss Luo Mu.
The communication soldier immediately said: "Five miles before the pass, we have discovered the movement of the enemy army -- there are dozens of siege chariots, and the infantry and cavalry company battalions are coming in front of our army's city!"
The situation is urgent, and the enemy forces are pressing the border five miles before the pass, and the decision to defend must be made immediately. Without further ado, Qin Yu turned around again and asked for orders from Luo Mu without further ado, and said, "General, the last general is willing to lead the soldiers defending the city to defend the enemy army, and never let the enemy army enter the city for half a step!"
It is a pre-battle emergency, even if there is a gap in contradictions, Luo Mu is still clear about the importance of defending against the enemy and internal strife. However, Luo Mu was not as prepared as Qin Yu in advance, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Understood, General Qin, you lead the defenders in the city to resist first, and General Ben will arrive later-"
"The last general will obey the order-" Qin Yu saw that Luo Mu was concerned about the overall situation, and he was quite relieved in his heart, and then he made up his mind to turn around and go to the top of the city tower......
Qin Yu left, but Luo Mu's arrogance did not seem to stop, Qin Yu did not take himself as the master of the army in his eyes, Luo Mu was very angry; moreover, when he heard that when he was captured, the morale of the army was in chaos, or Qin Yu personally came forward and proudly saved the heart of the army - so it can be seen that Qin Yu has a great influence on the army, if he continues to leave it alone, although he says that he is loyal to the imperial court, but once he has a rebellious heart, the heart of the Yizhou sergeant will definitely be biased towards Qin Yu, and then he will become in a difficult situation again, which Luo Mu himself has to beware......
"The scene just now, this king has seen it......" However, while Luo Mu was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from the back room of the General's Mansion - I saw a gorgeously dressed person walking slowly behind him, and this person was actually Wang Xin, the son of Wang Xuan, the Taishou of Yizhou City.
"Prince, why are you here?" Luo Mu looked back at Wang Xin and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Wang Xin paced in front of Luo Mu, smiled and said, "Hmph, in this Yizhou City, no one can stop this king from going wherever he wants...... But just now I saw General Luo and General Qin arguing behind the screen, and this king is very unhappy with General Luo......"
"What do you mean?" Luo Mu didn't understand the meaning of Wang Xin's words, and continued to ask.
Wang Xin smiled and continued: "General Luo, don't be surprised, this king said this, but it was all for General Luo's sake...... How about it, General Luo, do you hate General Qin very much from the bottom of your heart, and even want to get rid of him?"
"I hate him very much, and I even want to kill him...... Luo Mu is not taboo at all, and he makes no secret in front of Wang Xin, "But he is a descendant of the Qin family, a person who is heavily protected by the imperial court, ......I can't think of him wrongly;
Wang Xin smiled strangely, and then said: "This king has a way, not only can you relieve the hatred in your heart, General Luo, but also eradicate the descendants of the Qin family in a justifiable way...... As long as Qin Yu dies, the whole army will not be loyal to General Luo, and General Luo will be able to get rid of the big trouble in his heart, what do you think?"
When Luo Mu heard this, he was a little moved, if there was really a justifiable way to eradicate Qin Yu's thorn in his eye, it would be fine. So Luo Mu turned his head sideways and continued to ask: "Oh, Gongzi is so sure? What is the way to do it......
"The solution is very simple, as long as it is ......" Wang Xin took a few steps forward and leaned into Luo Mu's ear and said that a vicious conspiracy was quietly brewing...... (To be continued.) )
