Chu Qing looked at the soldiers guarding the granary and asked, "Who else knows about this?"
The soldiers looked at each other, then shook their heads. The soldier standing next to Chu Qing said: "General, since the enemy troops escaped, only a few of us have been guarding here, and no one else has come during this period."
Chu Qing nodded and said: "Okay, you guys continue to stay here and don't let others get close. Also, as for what we are burning, you must remember that what we are burning is the enemy's food and grass."
"Yes, General."
Chu Qing led the people out of the granary, and then let the soldiers rest on the spot, partly to adjust their condition, and partly to search for useful supplies for the enemy.
After Chu Qing arranged everything, he asked people to guard outside the tent, led a soldier into the tent, and ordered the soldiers guarding outside that no one was allowed to enter without his permission.
Chu Qing exchanged clothes with the soldiers who entered the tent with him, then walked out of the tent and secretly left the camp when no one was prepared.
If Chu Qing expected, the enemy's real purpose of deceiving them this time was to sneak attack their military camp.
Chu Qing returned to the military camp alone, and no one knew about it. Even if he returned to the military camp, he did not go inside, but hid outside the military camp.
Just when Chu Qing was waiting for the formation, the enemy army really came to attack. Chu Qing watched those people sneaking towards the military camp with a dark face. Just when those people sneaked into the military camp, Chu Qing yelled. When the soldiers guarding the entrance of the military camp and patrolling heard the sound, they immediately became vigilant and discovered the figures of those people.
When the attackers saw what had happened, they were about to run away. As soon as they turned around, they saw Chu Qing standing in front of them.
Chu Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense to them and started fighting without saying a word. The soldiers in the barracks also rushed out.
"it's me."
In order not to be misunderstood, Chu Qing revealed his identity, and then with the cooperation of the soldiers, he successfully captured the person who came to attack the military camp.
"Tie them up and keep them under strict guard. Also, to prevent them from committing suicide, stop their mouths."
The soldiers tied up the prisoners and took them into the camp. Chu Qing changed his clothes and then interrogated them personally.
Chu Qing sat on a stool and drank tea, then looked at the prisoners who had been tortured and asked, "Where is the food and grass?"
The prisoner's body was covered with injuries and his mouth was covered with blood. He looked at Chu Qing and laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the famous General Chu would have such a bad memory. He just burned the food and grass during the day, and now he comes to ask me where the food and grass is? "
Chu Qing snorted coldly and said, "I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you and answering my questions."
The prisoner turned his head to one side without fear of death and said, "I don't know what food and grass are."
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes. He always thought that there would be no loyalists among the usually lazy enemy army, but he didn't expect that he really underestimated them.
"Do you think I'll be soft on you?"
The prisoner didn't speak or express anything, but there was some unknown emotion flowing in his eyes.
Looking at the soldier holding the torture instrument next to him, Chu Qing said coldly: "Continue."
The forced confession continued, and the prisoner still refused to say anything. Chu Qing had no time to wait for him. The enemy's deception made him very uneasy. He had no time to waste any more, and in the end he could only let the soldiers increase the punishment.
Chu Qing admitted that he had never been a compassionate person. In this age of the jungle, a person with a soft heart would not survive long.
The sound of whips whizzing by and the groans of prisoners could be heard in his ears, but there was no trace of emotion on Chu Qing's face.
Chu Qing knew very well that being soft to the enemy would be cruel to himself, not to mention the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on his shoulders.
