087 The King's Mind
"Drink, ha."
The weak shouting on the training ground was as always.
Wang Ba was frowning and talking to his friend. He should have defected to Liu Xiu, the accountant under his house.
Seeing the complicated expression in Wang Ba's eyes at this moment, Lin Shuhang could roughly understand the difficulties of this future famous general at this moment.
Liu Xiu went out of the city to bring reinforcements, but did not take him. To be honest, as a newly surrendered person and was the son of the imperial court's official, he could not immediately enter the core circle around Liu Xiu. Wang Ba had expected this.
But no matter how much you have expectations, you will inevitably feel a little disappointed. Moreover, the Chongling Army left by Liu Xiu is equivalent to the hostages that Liu Xiu has mortgaged here... Is it not enough for you to be hostages in a robber's nest?
"Resting for a while!" Wang Ba said to the young men in a little upset, turning around and running towards the city gate.
The guest next to him followed him and said anxiously: "It is certainly a way of thinking, but there is no way to go out of the city to fight for the camp in broad daylight. Liu Pian General is too paranoid. The enemy cannot be so stupid. This matter must be defeated. The young master needs to be prepared. If Liu Pian General dies, we will be in this green forest army..."
"Okay!" Wang Ba stopped him from continuing.
The south gate was not far from the school ground, and from a distance, he heard shouts sounding from the city. Then he saw dozens of archers shooting arrows in front of him. Wang Ba felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that Liu Xiu was really discovered and chased by the thief army, and this was an arrow shot from the enemy?
He took a big stroll and rushed to the top of the city. Under the city, Liu Xiu was indeed racing away with a dozen riders, wearing a red cloak similar to the new army.
The arrows shot out of the "hurried" on the top of the city were shot behind their horses, and the shouts obviously attracted the attention of some defenders in the south.
Wang Ba's eyes suddenly lit up, and Liu Xiu rushed straight to the new army camp. More than a dozen riders shouted loudly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way! It is said that General Zhao has the order, Wang Situ is ready to attack the city immediately!"
More than a dozen people shouted together and actually scared the soldiers in the new military camp. Some people rushed to pass the orders, while the rest were all quick to make way for them, each of which was in order, and they were not panic.
Liu Xiu and more than ten cavalrymen rushed into the enemy camp in a swagger.
At this time, there were not many guards in the South Gate, only 20,000 to 30,000 people, and they were surrounded by the city. Although there were no loopholes, there was no depth. The entire camp was only a few hundred meters deep. It was quickly passed by Liu Xiu and the others, and then headed towards Wuyang in the south.
The people in the new army camp reacted at this time and quickly organized dozens of people to chase after him, but Liu Xiu and others selected fast horses in the city, and at this time they were racing together and galloping all the way.
When the New Army pursued people gathered, they saw that Liu Xiu and the others had gone far away, so they had to give up.
Only then did a cheer sound heard from the top of the city: "Go out! Liu Pian took them out! It's so amazing!"
Wang Ba felt as if a huge rock had fallen in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The clerk beside him was stunned for a while and murmured, "Liu Pian General is indeed unparalleled in wisdom and plans, and what he thinks is beyond my imagination... Young Master, I am convinced, and now we have nothing to worry about."
"No..." Wang Ba's eyes flashed.
Although Liu Xiu rushed out, it was certainly worth celebrating, but he saw all the reaction details of the new military camp just now. For a person familiar with military tactics, those reaction details are not good signals for the Green Forest Army.
Plus the boiling joy at the top of the city at this moment...
“We have more trouble.”
"Trouble? What trouble?" The guest could not understand Wang Ba's true thoughts. He just saw that he was frowning deeply, and he thought he was regretting that Liu Xiu did not take him out of the city and did not lead him to build such a unique relationship.
The guest smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry. After all, I just surrendered, so no one could be attracted to each other. Even if Liu Baishi is not a man, there will always be a process of building trust."
Wang Ba glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Yes... OK, go back to work."
Busy afternoon.
The main purpose is to teach the 100 archers picked out from the Chongling Army to shoot arrows. This is the real main force of the Chongling Army. It is naturally different from the absent-minded and natural way he trained the child soldiers in the afternoon.
Wang Ba was very careful in his training today, which made those 100 archers dissatisfied.
Liu Xiu rushed out of the southern camp, and the entire Green Forest Army in Kunyang City were cheering and celebrating. He added steamed buns for dinner, and many lieutenants even shared wine.
Only these direct troops are practicing hard and are not allowed to be happy. What is this called?
Some people couldn't help but question Wang Ba, but they were only criticized by Wang Ba's words, "Liu general entrusted me with military training, and dared not be lazy. If anyone is disrespectful, the military law will serve him." This made everyone angry but not speak out.
After dark, I went to the city to urge the transportation of supplies and kept busy until midnight before returning.
The Chongling Army camp is located in the south of the city, with sparse bungalows, with a street in front and a small forest behind. This was originally the residence of the people in the city. It was recruited for the military camp, and more than 400 Chongling Army members lived.
Wang Ba had a separate room, which was originally the office of Liu Xiu and other generals of Chongling Army. It was far from the dormitory of the soldiers in the army, and it was quite quiet.
He dragged his tired body and mind to open the door. As soon as he lit the oil lamp, he saw a masked man in black sitting upright at the long table in the room.
Wang Ba reacted very quickly. As a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he subconsciously reached out to touch the knife and drank: "Who is it!"
The man in black did not move extra, and just smiled and said, "The one who saved your life."
Wang Ba's eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife, but he did not pull it out: "Why is Wang's trouble? I need your help?"
"Liu Xiu rushed to the camp and stayed with the captain alone. If the rescuers were unable to come here for a long time, complaints would arise in the city. As the former general of the Chongling Army, the general would become the target of the Green Forest Army's anger. This is a difficult problem."
Wang Ba's heart sternly, but he said coldly on his face: "Wuyang, Dingling and other places are only dozens of miles away. How could General Liu's reinforcements not return for a long time?"
"The defenders in Dingling, Wuyang and other places are scattered, with only two or three thousand people in one place. Only these reinforcements are moved. Even if they are added together, they are only more than ten thousand. How dare you come back to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops in the new dynasty?" The man in black smiled and said, "Liu Xiu must go to Wancheng to seek help from the main force, but Wancheng has not yet been broken. His commander Liu Yan is also incompatible with the senior leaders of the Green Forest Army such as Wang Feng and Wang Chang. How could he give up Wancheng and sacrifice his life to save Kunyang first?"
Every time the man in black said something, Wang Ba's heart sank. These were all his thoughts and concerns during the day. None of the guests and generals of the Green Forest Army understood it, but the man in black in front of him was easily told.
"So, Liu Xiu will not be able to move back the rescue soldiers for at least half a month when he goes here. What does the captain think?"
