Chapter 21 Operations Section 10 Xianbei people
He saw that the Xianbei man was wearing the same clothes as Liang Jun, although he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it, he just looked at the bearded soldier next to the Xianbei man, and asked slowly: "There is some truth in what you said." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just to maintain combat effectiveness, not just to eat salt. ”
"General, General Cao was seriously injured during the battle, and when we drifted here with the river, he led us to practice more than once a day, and the three teams of men and horses changed guards back and forth to strictly guard against the enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and held out for several months, because we firmly believed that one day, the army of Daliang would come here. The soldier continued.
"Yes, General. Cao Fang suddenly understood the meaning of Wei Rui's words.
"General Cao, what is going on around this grain and grass?" Wei Rui walked to the grain pile, squatted down, and looked at the white powder carefully.
"General Hui, those are quicklime, although the cave is dry, but after a long time, there will be a lot of rainwater flowing back into the hole, in order to prevent the grain from getting wet, so put some quicklime next to the grain pile to prevent moisture. ”
"So, this grain is not damp?" Wei Rui was shocked.
"It is indeed very well preserved, not a single grain of moisture or mold. Cao Fang replied affirmatively.
Wei Rui turned around violently, he gave a deep salute to Cao Fang, Cao Fang was startled, and hurriedly returned the salute: "General Wei, what do you mean by this? ”
"I, Wei Rui, want to thank you for the soldiers of Daliang!" Wei Rui felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"What does the general mean by this?" Cao Fang was really at a loss for the second monk at this time.
"Our army's grain and grass are still on the way, the reason why the army led by my Wei Rui did not continue to move forward is to wait for the grain and grass in the rear, General Cao's move can make my Liang seize the opportunity, General Cao, do you say I should thank you for Daliang?" Wei Rui sighed with emotion, if there are a few more such generals in the Liang army, how can the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Wei Dynasty resist the elite generals of the Great Liang?
General Wei said...... It's not in vain that dozens of us have been guarding for months, Cao Fang...... Thanks to the generals. Cao Fang, a dignified seven-foot man, couldn't help but shed tears after hearing Wei Rui's warm words.
"General Cao, in the future, all of you will follow me for the time being, and after meeting with the prince's army, I will definitely inform him of your situation, and let the court reward you for your merits. ”
"General Wei, if this is the case, then we should do the duty of guarding the grain, and after the general sends someone to transport the grain and grass away, we will return to Shaoyang on our own and go to Lord Zhao to explain the matter. Cao Fang heard that he was going to find the prince, so he hurriedly excused himself.
Wei Rui was stunned, thinking to himself about the good thing of rewarding meritorious deeds, why did Cao Fang refuse? He nodded and said: "It's okay, General Cao will be wronged first tonight, and I want to talk to the general about some things at night." ”
"The last general obeys!" Cao Fang hurriedly agreed.
"General Cao, can you take a step to speak?" Wei Rui saw the blonde and blue-eyed Xianbei man, who had been looking at him intently, and frowned slightly.
Wei Rui and Cao Fang came to a more secluded corner of the cave, and Cao Fang looked at the General Wei in front of him with some puzzlement, not knowing why he wanted to avoid his subordinates to speak.
Wei Rui pondered for a moment: "General Cao, I, Wei Huaiwen, have something unclear, and I hope the general will tell me." ”
"General Wei, if you say this, you are killing the last general, and if you have something to ask, you are it. Cao Fang hurriedly replied.
"Just now, I noticed that among the soldiers, there is a Xianbei tribesman. Wei Rui's eyes were full of doubt.
"He...... He was a chab, a former prisoner of war. Cao Fang suddenly realized, it turned out that General Wei saw the strange appearance of Chabu, so he asked.
"War?" Wei Rui's brows furrowed slightly, Cao Fang saw the suspicion in Wei Rui's eyes, and he was a little anxious, but he didn't know how to explain the matter to him.
"General Wei, this person was captured in the Battle of Shaoyang. Cao Fang stretched out his hand and wiped his head.
Wei Rui was silent, the doubts in his heart Cao Fang naturally understood, so the war between the two countries was tight, but this person stood so abruptly in the Liang army, the general of Pingbei in front of him, shouldering the heavy responsibility of driving the Northern Wei soldiers out of the land of Liang, naturally there was no room for a little sand in his eyes.
"Will ...... General, if you feel that this person is here and your heart is not pleased...... The last general will let him go. Cao Fang said in a low voice.
Wei Rui shook his head slightly: "I'm thinking about a question now, how did he communicate with you after staying with you for so long?"
"Some of my soldiers speak Xianbei. Cao Fang replied.
"Oh, that's not easy. Wei Rui's brows suddenly relaxed, and some of the Liang army could speak Xianbei language, which was the most exciting thing for him tonight.
"Then the general doesn't have to worry about this person, this person will not leave at the moment. ”
"I wonder what he says in Chinese?" Wei Rui asked.
"Very well spoken, does the general have something to ask him?" Cao Fang suddenly understood what Wei Rui meant.
Wei Rui nodded slightly: "It's okay, let him come and see me." ”
After receiving the order, Cao Fang turned to leave, and then led Chabu to Wei Rui. After Nachabu saw Wei Rui, his face was still slightly nervous. Wei Rui was a little tired, and saw some straw spread next to him, thinking that it was used by those soldiers when they were resting at night, but he sat down cross-legged, and he motioned for Chabu to sit down opposite him.
Chabu sat down obediently, Wei Rui looked at him with a solemn expression, and only after a while did he ask, "Whose subordinate are you?"
"The subordinates of Lord Xing Luan. Qab replied honestly.
"Xingluan of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" The things that surprised Wei Rui tonight were one after another, "I really didn't expect that Xing Luan actually brought troops here?"
"Lord Xing is still in my country's capital Pingcheng and has not come. "Qabu is a straight man, and he speaks when he has something.
"Then why were you captured in Shaoyang?" Wei Rui was determined to solve this mystery at this time.
Qabu kept choking, this was the last thing he wanted to mention, and since he sat down opposite Wei Rui, for some reason, a fear rose in his heart, making him dare not look directly at the sickly General Wei Ruiwei in front of him.
"We attacked Shaoyang City that day, but ......" Chabu didn't continue, the events of that day were too sudden, and they didn't have any psychological preparation at all, so they were beaten up.
"It seems...... The sneak attack on Shaoyang City must have been the idea of Xingluan. Although Wei Rui was silent, he was taken aback in his heart, if Xing Luan's sneak attack was successful, I was afraid that he Wei Rui would not sit here safely at this time and listen to Chabu tell him about it.
"Hmph, if you Nanban don't use those tricks, we'll win a great victory. When Chabu remembered the scene of that day, he was full of unconvinced.
"Then tell me the trick!" Wei Rui said lightly.
Chabu had to whisper the situation of the day, after he finished speaking, he didn't hear Wei Rui on the other side speak for a long time, so he raised his head strangely, he saw Wei Rui's expression was a little trance, Wei Rui pulled his thoughts back, and slowly regained his calm.
Chabu's description just now was too rough, but he slowly restored the battle scene in his mind, Zhao Cao only used dozens of long iron chains to defeat a strange army carefully prepared by Xing Luan, this thing is both strange and unreasonable: although Zhao Cao is a grain supervisor, but he knows very little about the strategy of the art of war when facing the enemy, if it is the idea he came up with, Wei Rui will never believe it. But it was this Zhao Cao, who he didn't believe would win the battle at all, but he won the battle, which was really incredible.
"You were captured after being wounded?" Wei Rui's tone was still light.
"Hmph, if I hadn't been injured and couldn't walk, I wouldn't have been ...... by him Captured. Chabu suddenly remembered Cao Fang's entrustment, and swallowed what he was about to say.
Wei Rui had already heard the loophole in Chabu's words, and he knew that if he continued to ask at this time, he was afraid that he would not ask anything again, and the only thing he could do was to let him go back.
"In this way, there is also Lauchab to ask General Cao to come and speak. ”
"Yes, General!"
"Tsabu, I don't have a single question, I don't know if you can answer me. Wei Rui suddenly remembered something.
"General, please speak!"
"You are not treated as a captive at all, you are not bound by them, and if you have the chance, you will run away from them. Why are you still here? ”
Chabu stood on the ground, and said loudly with some annoyance: "The big husband has something to do, and he doesn't do anything, I Chabu is going to repay the favor first and then take revenge, and now the great favor has not been repaid, so he will flee from the engong, and the pig and dog will be inferior in the future." ”
Wei Rui slowly stood up from the ground and walked in front of him: "I have long heard that the Xianbei clan is a descendant of Zhu Rong, with a bold personality, integrity, and clear grievances. But the temperament is extremely hot, and it seems to be true today. ”
Nachabu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, although his face was flushed, he knew that it was inconvenient to have a seizure at this time.
"Qab, I still want to ask you something: Who is the benefactor you want to repay?"
"He's ...... It was the one who defeated me outside Shaoyang City...... That person. Chabu seemed to remember something, and his face turned red, but he refused to continue.
When Wei Rui saw this scene, he knew that he must have something he didn't want to say, and if he was forced to say it at this time, he wouldn't say it. Thinking of this, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Follow General Cao to our army, I still have something to ask you then." ”
"Hmph, the general stayed with me, aren't you afraid that I'm an assassin from the north?" asked Qab in a loud voice.
Wei Rui smiled: "If you were really an assassin, I would have died at your hands by this time." ”
Wei Rui walked out of that secluded corner, he saw the bearded soldier standing silently around the corner, holding a halberd in his hand, looking like a strict guard, he nodded slightly, it seems that Cao Fang is still on guard, his heart has another layer of good impression of this rough appearance and careful heart General Cao Fang.
