Chapter 57 Night Exploration of the Allied Forces Camp
In the dead of night, the gentle breeze blew the flag's feet and kept ringing. After successive defeats, the coalition camp became extremely quiet. Yuan Shao was getting angry, and the three Liu Bei brothers stood dejectedly in the center of the tent.
No one spoke up to persuade him. Liu Bei's escape today caused him great loss of face and cost the lives of hundreds of soldiers. If it wasn't for the sake of claiming to be a relative of the emperor, at least his head would be in danger.
"Huh!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Everyone can talk big words, swearing to defeat Hulao Pass, but what's the result? I have long said that you should not listen to this little county magistrate's words, but you all didn't listen, now okay
How can we attack Hulao Pass without even exerting all our energy?"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and glanced around, just facing Kong Rong's eyes. Kong Rong was a descendant of Confucius and was known as a virtuous man. Liu Bei's eyes were full of pleading. Kong Rong let out a long breath: "Alliance leader, this
We can’t blame them entirely, we can just blast them out if they let us know who they are!”
"Come here! Get these deceitful people out! Don't stay in the military camp!" More than a dozen soldiers held weapons in their hands and were about to drive Liu Bei out. Liu Bei had no choice but to look at Gongsun Zan again. Today
Gongsun Zan was so frightened that he was still trembling. When Liu Bei looked at him, Gongsun Zan quickly turned his face away. Liu Bei had no idea where to go, so he had to let the soldiers push him and follow him out.
Nuo was a large military camp, and there was no place for Liu Bei and others. Now they could not get to Gongsun Zan's place, and they had no direction as to where to go. Zhang Fei held a spear in one hand and a war horse in the other. He raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky: "
Brother, where should we go? If it doesn’t work out, just go back to Zhuojun! You continue to sell your straw sandals, and I will continue to sell my meat. Where’s the second brother? Set up a stall to sell dates. It’s great that we three brothers are still together!”
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense! Big brother has his own sense of proportion."
Liu Bei also looked up to the sky and sighed: "Now we can only take one step at a time. We can't go back to Jixian County. Let's go! Find a place to stay first and make plans tomorrow!"
Just as a few people left the road, a dark figure slowly emerged from the grass beside the road. He was dressed in black and had a black cloth covering his head, leaving only his two eyes wandering around. Looking at the retreating figures of Liu Bei and others,
He pulled down his mask, revealing Long Fei's face, and said to himself: "Liu Xuande has a reputation for repeated defeats and battles. Where else can you go this time?" After that, he put on the black cloth again and faced the coalition forces.
The battalion ran away. He was very fast, and disappeared again in the darkness.
Because of the defeat, the soldiers were a little slack. Those who were supposed to be on guard gathered in a group and joked; those who were supposed to be on patrol didn't see a team for a long time, and they didn't know where they were. From the side of the camp, I found an empty group.
In the corner, Long Fei climbed over the fence and entered. The sparse torches were burning feebly, and several soldiers who were napping nodded. He found a man of similar stature to himself, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and took out a blood-red product with the other hand.
The dagger was lightly scratched on the neck, and the guy jumped twice and stopped moving.
After changing his clothes, Long Fei swaggered around the military camp. When he saw the patrol from a distance, he immediately shouted hello. Although it attracted a blank stare, Long Fei was still happy to do it. This camp is too big, inside and out.
There are a total of eighteen small camps in a radius of ten miles. Although they are connected to each other, they are not subordinate to each other. Each small camp is guarded by specialized personnel, which looks very tight.
What Long Fei came to was Yuan Shao's military camp. Yuan Shao had the largest number of troops and horses this time, so Yuan Shao's camp was also the largest, just in front of Hulao Pass. A dozen other small camps formed a semicircle to guard behind Yuan Shao's main camp.
The central military tent is the most conspicuous thing in the camp. It is built on a high earth platform and is surrounded by cowhide. It is so big that it is beyond imagination. I don’t know how the ancients set up such a big tent. There are hundreds of guards.
The guards were stationed around the Chinese army's tent. If there was any movement, it was natural that his body and head were missing.
Long Fei did not force his way in, but hid in the shadow of a tent to observe the movements of the military tent. If he guessed correctly, all the eighteen princes were naturally inside, and Sun Jian must also be there. He could wait here as long as he came out.
The evening wind came and it was still a bit cold. Long Fei hugged his arms hard and huddled together as much as possible to resist the wind and cold.
"Hey, brother, what are you doing here?" A voice suddenly came from behind Long Fei. Long Fei was startled, stood up with a cry, put one hand in his arms to touch his dagger, and bent his legs.
He made an attack stance. "I'm asking you, are you deaf?" He breathed heavily with the smell of alcohol and walked towards Long Fei step by step.
Just when one of the man's hands was about to touch Long Fei's shoulder, Long Fei suddenly turned his face, his eyes showing a fierce light. "Choke!" The voice of drawing the sword: "Bold, how dare you attack General Zuo without mercy?
Li! Are you a soldier there?"
General Zuo was Yuan Shu. He didn't want to hear Yuan Shao scolding people in the tent, so he excused himself and came out to get some air. Just after urinating, he saw Long Fei shaking in the corner of the tent. He wanted to joke with the big-headed soldier, so he made fun of him. Look.
Looking at Long Fei's eyes, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that a little soldier could be so ferocious. In order to show his generosity, he smiled slightly, signaled the guards to put down their weapons, and looked Long Fei up and down: "The boy is good, but he looks nothing like it."
He's a corps commander, come with me! How about being my bodyguard?"
Although he had a strict sense of hierarchy when he was in the army, when he got here, Long Fei still didn't understand, at least not yet, how many ranks are there between the corps commander, the commander, the captain, and the lieutenant general, let alone the bodyguard.
What is the concept?
Yuan Shu smiled: "You are really a fool. I've made you feel cold. Come on and follow me into the tent!"
Long Fei shook his head quickly. There were too many acquaintances among them, such as Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao, who had seen him with his own eyes. If he was recognized, he would die without a burial place. Yuan Shu saw Long Fei retreating in fright, and laughed loudly.
And left. Looking at Yuan Shu's arrogant back, Long Fei let out a long breath. He hurriedly detoured behind the tent and found a more secret hiding place.
About midnight, the so-called princes inside the tent staggered out one by one. By the light of the torch, Long Fei identified them one by one. Sun Jian was not there, which made Long Fei a little strange. He was about to look elsewhere when suddenly
Someone shouted loudly: "Without Sun Jian, we can still attack Hulao Pass and attack Luoyang! Sun Jian! Don't think that I can't conquer Luoyang without you!" It was Yuan Shu who spoke. He drank a lot and spoke incoherently.
He staggered around while walking, and five or six soldiers shouted in front of him and supported him.
Looking at the direction of Yuan Shu's finger when he spoke, Long Fei guessed that Sun Jian's camp should be in the northeast, and dodged into the darkness. He kept changing his clothes and checking the flag. When he came to the third military camp, here
The atmosphere immediately became different. The soldiers were in high spirits and stood upright on guard. Patrols came and went, and from time to time one or two men in armor walked by. On the red flag flying high on the camp gate, there was a big Sun embroidered on it.
Words. Long Fei nodded and walked around Sun Jian's camp looking for flaws.
Sun Jian has been marching and fighting for so many years, so he naturally knows the importance of discipline and soldiers. He also has his own unique methods for marching formations. Long Fei went around in a big circle, but he didn't find any flaws. This made Long Fei nod.
Sun Jian is indeed a talent. He didn't find a breakthrough on Sun Jian's side, but he found something strange in the camp next to him.
There were also a lot of people in the camp next door. Among the low thatched houses, several hill-like haystacks attracted Long Fei's attention. According to Xu Shu's description, there was no place to store food during the march, so many people went there.
Gather several vehicles together, pile the food on top, and cover it with thatch. Could this be the food and grass for the coalition forces?
Looking at the flags, Long Fei was even more sure. The second banner with the word Yuan, without asking, must belong to Yuan Shu. Long Fei repeated his old trick, knocking over a Yuan Shu soldier, stripping off his clothes, and putting it on himself, holding his head low
He just kept walking forward. The Yuan brothers were really a pair of wimps, they talked the same way, and when it came to running the army, they were not even half as good as Sun Jian. Just like in Yuan Shao's camp, the soldiers were lazy, and there were only a few people on patrol. Long Fei was there.
It's like being in a deserted place inside.
"Stop!" When Long Fei was about to approach the granary, a dozen soldiers suddenly appeared and pointed weapons at him. Yuan Shu had some brains, and at least the people arranged around the granary were serious. Long Fei hurriedly stopped.
, threw down the weapons in his hands and raised his hands. The dozen soldiers laughed at Long Fei's funny look. Several people surrounded Long Fei and kept watching. One of them said: "It's midnight, don't go to bed."
,What are you doing wandering here?"
"I'm here to burn food and grass!" Long Fei said calmly.
"What?" The leader naturally couldn't believe his ears, so he leaned his head over and asked again.
Long Fei suddenly attacked, and lightly slashed the blood-red dagger in his hand, leaving a shallow blood groove on the man's neck. He stepped out, grabbed the wrist of the man next to him, and pushed it into his arms, while stabbing out with his right hand.
, the dagger pierced the man's left chest. He put the two soldiers down with his sweeping legs, and lightly slashed left and right with his right hand, severing their carotid arteries. Only then did Yuan Shujun react: "There is an assassin...!"
Looking at the few people running away, Long Fei did not chase after him, but kicked the brazier towards the granary. The firewood covering the grain was quickly set on fire. As Long Fei ran, he lit the remaining granaries on fire. Waiting for the drunken Yuan Shu
When I woke up, there was already a raging fire outside the tent. Soldiers were running around, shouting to put out the fire. The fire was too strong, and there was no water source nearby, so they could only watch the fire burn all the food and grass.
Long Fei followed the running soldiers around in the camp, spotted an opening and dodged into the darkness. Until dawn the next day, the fire in the granary was still burning brightly, and he asked all patrols
No one knew who did it. Starting from Yuan Shao's camp, except for Sun Jian and Cao Cao's camp, everyone else suffered casualties.
