Liu Beijun, Liu set up camp. .
This is Baohe in Yangzhou, which is located in the middle of Hefei and Shouchun. Lishouchun is only more than 100 miles away. According to the distance, it only takes about two days. It can be reached in one day at the speed of Zhang Xiu cavalry. But both Zhang Xiujun and Liu Beijun needed to replenish food and grass, so they stationed here.
Liu Pi's army is also here. He is in the front army, and the central army has been replaced by five thousand white-eared soldiers. The army is the place closest to the main princess general, and the central army is generally the most trusted part of the lord to take charge, so Liu Pi was very happy when he set off from Yuzhou, because Liu Bei let himself serve as the central army, that kind of trust Don’t feel too good, Liu Pi was definitely a happy person at the time, but then he changed. The battle in Guangzhou made Liu Pi lose Liu Bei’s face. A small county was beaten for four days. If it was taken down, thousands of people would be killed or injured. No matter whether Liu Bei committed suicide or not, he would never let Liu Pi serve as the Chinese army. He also began to question Liu Pi's ability, so the Chinese army was replaced by Bai. Ear heavy armor soldiers.
In Liu Pi's tent, Liu Pi was drinking heavily. Although alcohol was not allowed during the march, Liu Pi couldn't care less about it. Could there be someone in his tent to inform? Moreover, Liu Pi was in a very upset mood, seriously upset, and drinking could relieve his boredom.
"Get out of the way, I want to see the general!" Outside Liu Pi's big tent, a small colonel shouted at the two personal guards of Liu Pi's army.
"General Liao, my lord has already fallen asleep, so please go back, General Liao Hua." The two guards stopped Liao Hua without any politeness.
Liao Hua stopped and looked at the two guards and said, "I have something important to tell Shuai Qu, you two get out of the way!"
"I'm sorry, General Liao, the lord has an order, no one is allowed to enter without the lord's order!" The two personal guards still stopped Liao Hua.
"Once my important information from here delays you, you will be responsible!" Liao Hua became a little sullen. He really had something important to report.
"This!" The two guards hesitated.
"Let me tell you, don't let me see Qu Shuai now. Tomorrow Qu Shuai will know that the heads of you two will be chopped off!" Liao Hua was threatening the two guards. Although the information in Liao Hua's hands was important, it was not that scary. .
"Hmm!" One of the guards obviously hesitated, he thought for a while and said to the other guard next to him, "You stop General Liao, I will go in and ask the lord to see if the lord will let the general in." He said to Liao Hua, "General Liao, please wait a moment!"
The personal guard walked into the camp and stepped into Liu Pi's tent, "Report to the lord, General Liao Hua outside the tent is asking to see you! I have something important to discuss!"
"Important matter? What nonsense important matter? Didn't you see that it's already dark? Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to say. Just say that the general has already fallen asleep, so tell him to come back tomorrow!" Liu Pi said. After drinking a bowl of white wine on the table, I was in an annoyed mood. I wanted to smoke anyone who disturbed Liu Pi. What's the matter? Got a shit tonight? Enemy attack? Just a joke, there are Xiliang iron cavalry next to it, Liu Pi is the front army, the middle army is the white-eared heavy armor, and the rear army is the Qingzhou army. Who dares to attack here so boldly? They don’t want to live anymore! Moreover, he, Liu Pi, was not a wine bag or rice bag, he also set up sentries outside, both bright and dark, and if there was something important, he would have come in and reported it. Thinking this way, not only did the captain of the bodyguard stop Liao Hua, but also gave the captain of the bodyguard a lesson.
"Yes!" The guard was scolded by Liu Bi for no reason, and he felt uncomfortable. It was all caused by Liao Hua outside. Thinking of this, the captain of the guard walked out, and his attitude changed when he saw Liao Hua. , the tone became stiff, "General Liao, my lord doesn't want to see you, he told you to talk about something tomorrow! Come, send General Liao Hua away!" Although the captain of the personal guard did not command a battalion of 5,000 soldiers like Liao Hua, but the personal guard The chief also has 400 subordinates, because by Liu Pi's side, his position is not much lower than that of Liao Hua.
"I won't leave, I want to see Shuai Qu!" Liao Hua broke free from the two guards and walked to the gate of the camp again.
"General Liao Hua, please don't make things difficult for me. My lord's original words are to tell you to go back. If you really want to go back, I have to let you go!" In the evening, being scolded for no reason is so refreshing.
"General Zuo You, Hua really has something urgent to tell the lord, please ask the general for help!"
"General Liao Hua, how many times do you want me to tell you? Zuo is unable to help, send General Liao Hua back!" Zuo You was about to leave.
"Let's see who dares to touch me!" Liao Hua was really anxious. He discovered an important piece of information tonight, and he had to tell Qu Shuai, but Qu Shuai didn't see him. Liao Hua got anxious and drew out his sword.
"Hmm!" Zuo You, the captain of the personal guard, frowned, "Liao Hua, I think you are looking for death! Outside the lord's tent, you dare to draw out your saber!" Zuo You laughed angrily, "Take down this troublesome Liao Hua for me, Press it down, and tell the lord tomorrow!"
"Yes!: The guards drew out their sabers and pointed them at Liao Hua.
"Protect the general!" Liao Hua also brought more than a dozen people, all of whom drew their sabers, and confronted the guards, "I'll see who dares to move!"
The two sides confronted each other, shouting for each other to drop their weapons, and the battle was imminent.
"Enough!" Liu Pi's angry voice came out, he just wanted to drink a pot of wine, is it so difficult? How much anger did Liu Pi suffer in the past few days in Liu Bei's camp? He was dismissed from the central army by the lord, and was laughed at by Zhang Fei. You must know that Zhang Fei started his career as a Yellow Turban. Naturally, he didn't have much affection for Liu Pi, who was born as a Yellow Turban thief. His subordinates disturbed him, but now he is fine, and the two sides are still confronting each other, and if one is not good, they may fight, which still puts him in the eyes of the general.
Liu Pi suddenly swept the fine wine on the case table to the ground, overturned the table and came out angrily, his eyes fixed on Liao Hua, "If you, Liao Hua, don't give me a good explanation, or your information It's not important, then don't blame me, Liu Pi, for not caring about the old relationship!" Liao Hua's confrontation was all Liu Pi's personal guards, and he dared to draw his sword. With such a hideous expression on his face, if Liao Hua didn't give a good explanation, Liu Pi would really order Liao Hua to be killed.
However, Liao Hua wasn't scared too much. Instead, he clasped his fists at Liu Pi, "Shuai Qu, the general has something urgent to report, otherwise the general wouldn't be so bold. If Qu Shuai is not satisfied, don't use Qu Shuai's hands, Hua will be ashamed." I will personally judge myself in front of Qu Shuai!"
"Then tell me!" Liu Pi was really curious about what information this Liao Hua wanted to tell him.
"Qu Shuai here!" Liao Hua looked around, meaning that it was inconvenient to talk here, and asked Qu Shuai to find a quiet place to discuss.
"Hmm! Come on, come back to the tent with me!" Liu Pi waved his hand, a little impatient, want to go to the tent to talk
"Yes!" Liao Hua nodded and ordered his soldiers to teach him the sword, and followed Liu Pi into the camp.
"Speak!" Liu Pi did not invite Liao Hua to sit down.
Liao Hua didn't care and cupped his fists at Liu Pi and said, "Shuai Qu, we caught a scout from the enemy during the day!"
"Just such a piece of news?!" Liu Pi frowned. Wouldn't it be enough to kill a small scout? Do you still need to report
"In order to capture this scout, we killed a total of twenty-two brothers!" Liao Hua continued to explain.
"Twenty-two!" This is not a small number. Such a powerful scout has already made Liu Pi a little bit interested, but this is not the reason for Liao Hua to disturb him. Being able to kill twenty-two shows that this is a hundred-and-a-half. There are very few such people under Liu Pi's command as the king of war.
In fact, this scout was able to kill twenty-two of Liao Hua's men. That was because Liao Hua's men lacked horses and were slowly shot to death during the pursuit. I got the scout and got a good horse.
"Shuai Qu, the scout was not killed. We captured the scout and obtained two pieces of news under torture!" "This is the key to what Liao Hua said. These two pieces of news are very important. Liao Hua will not report at the risk of being hacked by Liu Pi. The greater the risk, the higher the reward will be. If this is true news, Liao Hua will be prosperous, at least the position of Lieutenant General Liu Pi There is a place for him, Liao Hua.
"What news! If you fart, just let it go." Liu Pi didn't want Liao Hua to play tricks here. He was already very upset. If he had a drink to relieve his boredom and was interrupted, he would be even more upset. He didn't want to hear that Liao Hua was here. Desperately showing off.
"Yes, Commander Qu, the first news we got was that during the Spring Festival, Lu Bu's garrison had run out of food and grass!" Liao Hua also knew that he had noticed it. Yes, the first news came directly.
"Bullshit! I also know that the entire Yangzhou, no, it should be that the entire Lu Bu army is short of food and grass!" Liu Pi was really angry. Who didn't know this news, not only knew this, Liu Pi also knew that Lu Bu's army was short of food and grass It is none other than his lord Liu Bei, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou. It can be said that the neighbors around Lu Bujun are not good except Lao Cao who is kind because of the Guandu battle. Liu Pi knows all about Lu Bujun's calculations, so I need you, Liao Hua, to say it again.
"No, no!" Liao Hua saw that his first message failed to change Liu Pi's expression, and immediately brought out the second message, "Shuai Qu, we also learned from that scout that Lu Jiang Lu Bu is about to Allocate a horse of rations to be transported from Lujiang to Shouchun, Yangzhou!"
"Transporting military rations?! From Lujiang to Shouchun?" Liu Pi's eyes lit up. If this is true news, then if Liu Pi gets the exact news and intercepts the rations, then he will The image in front of Liu Bei will undergo a big change. A batch of military rations is nothing. The main thing is that the military merits represented by the rations. Pi really made a lot of money. I dare not say all the credit for winning Shouchun, but I can still have a first credit.
"No, if it is transporting military rations, where will he transport it? Is it on a small road? Is there another way from Lujiang to Shouchun?!" Liu Pi was a little puzzled.
"Shuai Qu, their rations are transported through the official road!" Liao Hua finally trembled.
"Impossible, impossible! On the official road, isn't he afraid of being intercepted by our army!" Liu Pi was a little confused.
"Shuai Qu, do you know that there is a strategy called black under the lamp!" Liao Hua became proud, and he got the news about this strategy from the Lu Bu army scout.
"It's dark under the lamp?!" Liu Pi looked at Liao Hua suspiciously.
"Yes, it's dark under the lamp!" Liao Hua paused, "At night, we can't see the lighting except in the distance, and there is another place we can't see, that is under the lamp, which is blocked by the lamp itself, and the light generated under the lamp In the dark area, this is the darkness under the lights. This Lu Bujun is thinking that we all know that the official road cannot be used. Everyone thinks so. Naturally, the defense on the official road is much less, but the small road is heavily guarded by our army and it is difficult to move. Naturally, he will go the other way and walk the official way, so that he can deceive the world!"
"A good strategy, a good strategy!" Liu Pi couldn't help being attracted by this strategy. Indeed, most of Liu Bei's scouting trilogy was on the trail, and there were really few people on the official road, because the official road was too big. , everyone thought that it was impossible for the enemy to follow the official path, so they were naturally negligent.
Liu Pi already believed in Lujiang's grain delivery.
"Shuai Qu, think about it. A few days ago, our army was captured under the city of Gwangju because of the garrison of Gwangju, which made General Zuo very dissatisfied. It has already made us change from the central army to the front army. He Chen arrived at He Dehe Yes, I can occupy the position of the Chinese army! It’s not because of taking down the small city of Gushi!” Liao Hua also knew that it was because of Liu Bei’s attitude towards Liu Pi that he let Liu Pi stay alone in the big tent, so Liao Hua Naturally, we have to follow Liu Pi's train of thought.
"Hey, be careful with your words! General Chen Dao is also a general under the lord's command, and he is not inferior to me in terms of martial arts!" Although Liu Pi said so, he still felt very good in his heart.
"Yes, yes, yes! Shuai Qu, you said that if you took this batch of food and grass, and Shouchun City was breached because of the lack of food and grass, wouldn't it be the general who broke the city?" Liu Pi couldn't refuse.
"But!" Liu Pi still hesitated, "What if this is fake news!"
"Hehe, Shuai Qu, this is what the last general got from that scout. That scout is really a tough guy, and he won't say anything if he is killed. It's still the last general, who chops up his fingers one by one. Chop it off, this scout confessed it to be able to die comfortably!" The scout Liao Hua was talking about was Lou Shaoqi, and Liao Hua was originally a Yellow Turban bandit, so naturally he didn't care too much about Tianhe, what's the use of torture? What, in the end Lou Shaoqi couldn't take it anymore, so he told the news.
"Taking a step back, Shuai Qu, even if it's false news, we're not at a loss. We just need to ambush on the official road. If it's true, then we'll jump out and kill the enemy and take back the rations. No, we’ll just go back to the camp again!” Liao Hua’s words are very reasonable, if this is true, then Liu Pi will really make a lot of money, not only can he wash away his incompetent image in Liu Bei’s mind, but also give the army Replenish food and grass, and even win Shouchun because of this incident, and tell Shouchun's defenders that your food and grass have been looted by us, you should surrender! It is simply a great credit, and the effort is not much, as long as you bring three thousand people, no! Five thousand people is enough.
"Okay, let's do it like this!" Liu Pi was finally moved, "Where is Liao Hua!"
"The last general is here!" Liao Hua was also very happy. If he succeeds this time and snatched the batch of military rations, Liu Bei boasted that Liu Pi gave Liu Pi military merits, and Liu Pi would lose his own credit when he was happy! Liao Hua now only has a battalion of 5,000 people in his hands. If he gets it done this time, he may become a general of 10,000 people.
"Let me take your part and ambush me on the official road and wait for the arrival of other grain transport brigades. Once successful, I will not treat you badly!" Liu Pi also knew that he had to give his subordinates Draw a big cake, otherwise how can the subordinates work hard. "It's done, I will definitely recommend it to you in front of the lord!"
The unexpected joy of "the last general took command" ah, Liu Pi actually wanted to recommend himself in front of Liu Bei, which made Liao Hua really happy. If Liu Pi's army was just a small pond, then Liu Bei would be in front of a lake. How could Liao Hua be unhappy to show his face in front of him
"When is the delivery time!"
"At noon tomorrow, it will be about thirty miles away from Baohe River!"
"Okay, you should prepare in advance!"
…
The same drama also appeared in Zhang Xiu's big camp. Zhang Xiu is really obsessed with grain, grass, gold and silver. No wonder, after all, Zhang Xiu has no tax and can only rely on looting. I really care, but the time in Zhangxiu camp changed from noon to wei. (To be continued.)
