"General Qu Cheng, the three of you will stay in this tent for now. If you need anything, just give orders to the soldiers outside the tent."
Cheyu, the general under Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo's account, brought Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, and Wuma Jiao to a small tent and spoke to them kindly.
"Thank you so much, General Ziche." Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, and Wuma Jiao said with clasped fists in gratitude.
Zi Cheyu waved his hand kindly, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he seemed to think of something, turned around and added: "By the way, if there is nothing important, you three had better not leave this tent as much as possible, lest... I think All three of them understand."
"General Mo and others will understand." Qu Cheng thanked him with clasped fists.
Seeing this, Zi Cheyu smiled at the three of them, lifted up the tent and left.
As soon as he left, the expressions of Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao suddenly changed. During this period, Wuma Jiao even took a few steps to the entrance of the tent, slightly lifted up some of the tent, and looked at what was going on outside.
Gu Liangwei, on the other hand, grabbed the skirt of Qu Cheng's clothes and stared at him bitterly with gritted teeth.
"Are you crazy?" Qu Cheng frowned and struggled to free himself a few times. Unfortunately, Gu Liangwei's grip was too strong and he was unable to free himself for a moment.
I saw that Gu Liangwei ignored the perseverance on Qu Cheng's face, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Qu Cheng, what is the intention of what you said in the commander's tent? Are you going to betray King Su?"
"It seems that you are indeed crazy, and you actually revealed that person in the Chu camp." Qu Cheng looked at Gu Liangwei mockingly, lowered his voice and sneered: "If someone betrays you, you two will be executed just now. Let's go...let it go, do you think Xiong Tuo won't send someone to keep an eye on us?"
Gu Liangwei turned his head and glanced at Wuma Jiao, then hesitantly let go of Qu Cheng's lapel, but the doubt in his eyes still did not fade away: "What are you going to do?"
Qu Cheng straightened his clothes, turned to look at Wu Majiao, and saw that the latter was paying close attention to the movement outside the tent, so he lowered his voice and said: "It's not that I want to do something, it's that if I don't say that, I can't dissuade Xiong Tuo." Doubts about us... I believe that so-and-so knows Xiong Tuo better than you."
However, Gu Liangwei turned a deaf ear to Qu Cheng's words and asked in a low voice: "Stop talking nonsense, I just ask you, why did you propose a plan to Xiong Tuo? Remind him to temporarily suspend the army and fight again next year... Do you know?" You know, only if Xiong Hu is defeated can we have a way to survive?!"
Qu Cheng shook his head and said firmly: "Don't worry, I know Xiong Tuo better than you... Xiong Tuo has a good face. He will never admit defeat easily. The more I say that, the less likely he will agree to take a break this year." Soldiers, fight again next year...Don't forget, he wants to achieve more amazing achievements than Lord Xiong Wu of Guling, and boost his momentum in Dachu. Now that Lord Xiong Wu is winning in Song Dynasty, how can he? Are you willing to be trapped in the Yan River without being able to move forward?"
"Then what you said..."
"Just to dispel Xiong Tuo's doubts about the three of us... After all, we are defeated generals and have been captured before. How can Xiong Tuo trust the three of us so easily?"
"..." Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao looked at each other, and the suspicion in their eyes receded slightly.
After a long while, Gu Liangwei couldn't help but remind him: "Now we have no way out. If Xiong Tuo defeats that person and rescues Xiong Hu, we will all die...even the children in the family will have no way to survive."
"Heh." Qu Cheng snorted and said calmly: "Believe in that one. I think that one has the chance to defeat Xiong Tuo..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Liangwei: "It's not that I don't trust that person, I just don't trust you."
"Then you'd better try to trust me. If I hadn't been convinced by that person, I wouldn't have returned to Chu Camp with you."
"..." Gu Liangwei took a deep look at Gu Liangwei, and finally nodded slowly, and whispered: "It's best this way. Qu Cheng... Neither a certain person nor Wuma are from noble backgrounds, and they know very well that in the
After that incident, neither of us can gain a foothold in Chu State. We can only surrender to that one person... So, you'd better not do anything to make us suspicious, otherwise, if we can't survive, we will die.
I will pull you up and support you."
"Okay, I will remember your words." Qu Cheng smiled and nodded. Then he reminded in a low voice: "Then, you'd better keep my words in mind... This time when I return to Chu Camp, that one
I personally promise that I will be the master in everything, so it is best not to have something like that happen again."
"..." Gu Liangwei moved his mouth in thought, and after exchanging a look with Wuma Jiao, he finally nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Qu Cheng showed a slight smile on his face and lowered his voice and said: "Okay, that's it for now. Let's put on our armor and go to the camp to get something to eat first."
Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao nodded, changed into the armor that Fang Caizi Che Yu gave them inside the tent, and immediately the three of them walked out of the tent together.
As soon as they got out of the tent, they saw five Chu soldiers standing outside the tent who seemed to be chatting and laughing. When the five Chu soldiers saw Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, and Wuma Jiao leaving the tent, they remained calm.
The ground followed.
Obviously, this was the spy arranged by Xiong Tuo to keep an eye on the three of them.
"Sure enough, there are people watching us..." Gu Liangwei pretended to look around, took the opportunity to glance at the Chu soldiers behind him, and whispered to his two companions.
"Be content." Qu Cheng lowered his voice and said calmly: "At least you didn't arrange it openly outside our tent. Otherwise, your actions just now are enough to make people suspicious..."
"Hey!" Gu Liangwei curled his lips and said angrily: "Do you think so-and-so is stupid?... It was because Wuma saw no one outside the tent that I..."
"Shh!" Wu Majiao reminded in a low voice, interrupting Gu Liangwei's words.
It turned out that the five Chu soldiers behind him were walking closer.
Seeing this, Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, and Wuma Jiao did not dare to whisper anything anymore. They just looked at the camp as if nothing had happened, and asked the passing Chu soldiers all the way until they came to the place where food was distributed.
It is undeniable that even though the three of them have secretly surrendered to Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, their treatment is similar to that of the 30,000 Chu soldiers prisoners. They only ate two dry steamed buns when they left the Wei army's Yanshui camp.
Hungry.
No, when they took the rice and hot soup from the Chu soldiers in charge of cooking, they were so moved that they almost burst into tears.
Because at that time, they were just a little bit away from becoming unjust ghosts who died in vain.
Fortunately, everything was over, and they returned alive to the army of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng. Moreover, Zhao Hongrun, King Su of Wei, promised them various generous treatment, so generous that their hearts gradually turned towards Wei.
What's even more incredible is that His Highness King Su of the Wei State successfully dispelled their only concerns with his unceremonious and even insulting words, so that their "three ants" did not have to
I was worried that when the matter was accomplished, His Highness Prince Su would cross the river and demolish the bridge, and be "crushed to death with his boots."
Just as the three of them were eating military rations and drinking soup to satisfy their hunger, suddenly there was a noise in the distance.
Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, and Wuma Jiao were puzzled and walked over with wooden bowls in hand to find out what was going on.
After taking a closer look, they realized that it turned out to be a conflict between the 30,000 former Xiong Hu soldiers who had been released by the Wei army, and the soldiers under the command of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
The cause of the matter is this. After taking in the 30,000 prisoners of war who were released by the Wei army, Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, out of consideration for the morale of the army, asked the soldiers in charge of cooking in the rear army to take care of these 30,000 people first. After all, this Thirty Wan was as hungry as Qu Cheng and others, and looked at everything as food.
But when this group of people swarmed towards the place where food was distributed, there were already many Xiong Tuo soldiers lining up like a long queue, waiting to receive food one by one.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with this matter, because after Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo accepted the 30,000 former Xiong Hu soldiers, he immediately ordered Chu General Yan Mo and other generals to arrange tents for these 30,000 people to stay. After all, the weather was so cold. In the winter of this year, it was impossible for the former soldier Xiong Hu, who had only one single coat left, to survive a night in the cold night.
While the 30,000 former Xiong Hu soldiers were making arrangements to move into tents, the soldiers of Xiong Tuo Army began to receive the military rations distributed.
At this point, it's all understandable.
But the bad thing was that the 30,000 soldiers of Xiong Hu were already hungry and their chests were pressed to their backs. Their strong sense of hunger made it unbearable for them to wait in line behind the 80,000 soldiers of Xiong Tuo to receive food.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Xiong Hu Army made a request to the rear sergeant of the Xiong Tuo Army who was responsible for distributing food, asking the latter to give them food first. After all, they could only get a meager amount of food every day when they were in the Wei camp, and when they were released by the Wei army, Although each person received two steamed buns, it was not enough to fill their stomachs, not to mention that they had to travel more than 20 miles to reach Xiong Tuojun's camp.
General Chu, who was supervising the food distribution, thought for a moment about these people's request, and finally nodded in agreement, signaling the soldiers of the original Xiong Hu Army to also line up and distribute the food together.
But as a result, the 80,000 soldiers under Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo were unbalanced.
Thinking about it, the two rows of teams were distributing food at the same time, which undoubtedly forced the soldier Xiong Hu at the back to face the fact that he would not be able to receive the food until later.
These people thought gloomily: We have worked hard for a day to cut down the wood and built the preliminary camp. We are also hungry at this time. Why are you, the prisoners released by the Wei army, ahead of us?
The soldiers of the original Xiong Hu Army were not satisfied either.
In their minds, the Wei army was their enemy, so even if they were beaten and kicked during their capture, it was understandable. But in fact, under the restraint of His Highness King Su of Wei, most of the Wei soldiers were against them. The treatment was quite preferential. Instead of killing them, they also distributed some food.
Although the things everyone gets are indeed pitiful.
But you must know that that is the food distributed to them by the Wei army, and it is the food distributed to them by their enemies.
As life-and-death enemies on the battlefield, they could not expect Wei Jun to do more for them.
But the soldiers of the Xiong Tuo Army in front of them are their friendly forces. Couldn't these friendly forces, for the sake of their hungry chests and backs, be a little more tolerant and let them get the food first?
Seeing the soldiers of his own team being pushed aside by the soldiers of Xiong Tuo Army, a former soldier of Xiong Hu Army said angrily: "Not even those Wei soldiers would treat us like this!"
This sentence ignited an internal fight that quickly evolved from a scolding war to a physical fight. (To be continued.)
