Chapter Seventy-Five: There Are Somebody
The arrogant Tong Guan confidently approached Huaiyin City with an army of more than 100,000 people, and Pang He had already waited for a long time, and according to the plan, he gave Tong Guan a big surprise.
Due to the hot weather, Tong Guan asked the soldiers to walk along the water's edge, first, to replenish water at any time, and second, to reduce the discomfort caused by the heat. Just as Tong Guan was riding a horse and moving forward proudly, he suddenly saw a spy in front of him report that there were several dead pigs floating on the water. At this moment, Tong Guan panicked: "Dead pigs, how many dead pigs are there, do you know how they died?"
The spy replied: "There are about a dozen undead pigs, I didn't see them yesterday, why did I suddenly see them today, it looks like they have some kind of disease!"
This sentence was a very big blow to Tong Guan, and he immediately sent a military doctor to check on it to see what was wrong with these dead pigs. At the same time that the military doctor went over to look, the news had already spread, and people were panicked. Tong Guan ordered everyone not to go near the water source, and then diverted the route.
When Tong Guan changed the route, he suddenly saw billowing smoke rising in the east, and Tong Guan immediately sent someone to investigate to see what was going on with this smoke. After a while, the smoke dispersed, and the choking was very uncomfortable.
Tong Guan's confidence has been hit a little since then: "Is this Pang's trick?"
Song Jiang beside him smiled contemptuously: "Pang He likes this kind of trick, if the adults don't like it, you can go back to Beijing!"
Tong Guan glared at Song Jiang fiercely: "Song Jiang, is this your attitude of speaking?
Song Jiang apologized: "My lord, I'm just making fun of that Pang He can't compete with us in a dignified way, and use these methods!"
Tong Guan said: "This shows that he is afraid of fighting us, and when I get to Huaiyin City, I will definitely make him look good!"
Wu Yong reminded: "Judging from this situation, even if we arrive at Huaiyin City, we may not have much morale. My lord, look at the morale of the soldiers now? There are dead pigs for no reason, and everyone is afraid that they have a plague, and if there is a plague, we will be doomed! And the smoke just now, the people we sent out have not yet returned, I don't know if they have found any results!"
Tong Guan was already very uneasy at this time, he was also afraid, after all, he had also drunk water, and now there was a dead pig, in case there was a situation, his own life? and the smoke, it was clear that Pang He sent someone to put it, he now appeared like a ghost, and there was no trace of it.
Tong Guan took the people and walked from the river just now for an hour, which was basically regarded as leaving the water source, and the military doctor had not yet found out any common diseases on these dead pigs. In addition, on the side of the smoke, there was indeed no trace of it, only some traces of incineration, and no other anomalies.
After walking for so long, Tong Guan's heart is a little wider. At this moment, Tong Guan raised his head, saw the smoke curling again, and felt uneasy in his heart, so he stopped and sent someone over to take a look, but he still found nothing.
After such a toss, Tong Guan was emaciated and ordered to set up camp.
Song Jiang also had some doubts about this, so the news that Chai Jin received here was that Pang He would fight with him in front of the city gate, and there would be a very powerful formation to fight against him at that time, but now, this had to make Song Jiang worried, either Chai Jin did not tell himself the real situation, or Pang He had already suspected Chai Jin, or Pang He temporarily changed his mind and caught himself off guard.
Wu Yong also began to worry: "We are marching like this now, it seems that we are all under the control of Pang He, our military spirit was originally unstable, and now the people are panicking, even if we arrive in Huaiyin City, what morale do we have, what combat effectiveness do we have to fight with Pang He!"
Song Jiang said: "This Tong Guan has no ability, we know that Tong Guan is not good, and we have to accompany him, really..."
Wu Yong said: "Brother, we may be able to think of a way to let Tong Guan withdraw the army!"
Song Jiang said: "I want to too, I also feel sorry for our brother." But if you look at Tong Guan, the dog's eyes are low, will he listen to us?"
Wu Yong said: "Well, that's true. Our background is different from his, Tong Guan's prejudice against us is too deep, and I think our relationship is not good. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the camp shouted: "Someone, someone!"
Song Jiang walked out of the camp with a blind face, and saw very eye-catching torches in the east and south, row after row, as if there were some horses, so he asked the people who were standing guard outside at night: "What's going on?"
The brother standing guard replied, "I don't know, this seems to have happened all of a sudden!"
Tong Guan walked out of the tent and shouted, "What the hell is going on, it's endless." ”
After speaking, before his subordinates could answer, Tong Guan saw two fires in the east and south: "What's going on, hurry up and take a look." ”
After saying that, Tong Guan calmed down: "This must be Pang He's trick again, don't go, it must be Pang He's way to scare us again." ”
The subordinate asked, "My lord, I really don't go!"
Tong Guan said with certainty: "No matter what he does, if there is a kind, he will come and fight! You can see that the fire is not moving, it is clearly for us to see." You keep a good watch on me, and you keep a good watch for me. Huaiyin City, we are almost there, give me a twelve-point spirit, do you hear? ”
Tong Guan said that if he didn't go, there must be no one under his command who didn't go, cheered up and guarded the camp. Indeed, the fire did not move anymore, but kept burning, and after a while, it was extinguished. Tong Guan felt that his guess was right, and the situation was indeed the case, and he also had the meaning of Xie laughing at Pang He in his heart, with this confidence. Tong Guan smiled and was about to go to bed, but who knew that his subordinates would report again, and the fire would burn again. Tong Guan was a little impatient: "Just let him burn it, it doesn't matter!"
Tong Guan felt that it was just some tricks anyway, so he didn't need to pay attention to him, but then, the drum sounded and remembered, Tong Guan dragged his tired body and walked out of the camp again: "Who, who played the drum for me in the middle of the night!"
The subordinates reported that it was not the drums of their own barracks, but the sound came from the east and south, that is, the location of the fire.
Tong Guan was curious: "This fire, some distance from us, what are they doing with this drum? You quickly go to me to find out the situation, see how many of them there are, and all of them are on alert, ready to fight at any time!"
Song Jiang looked at Tong Guan's command, and smiled secretly in his heart, Tong Guan, your hard days have only started today, Pang He has a lot of tricks, look at how you will be played by him in the future.
