Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine: The Chaos in Chu Ying
"Report! There are fires in many places in the camp, and the fire is very strong."
"Report! A conflict broke out between the soldiers of the original Xiong Hu and our soldiers. At present, they are drawing swords at each other. General Lian Bi is stopping it."
"Report..."
The messengers in the Chu camp came in and out of the commander's tent in an endless stream, conveying the latest news in the camp to Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
However, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, didn't care about this news at all. He only cared about one thing, and that was the movement of the Wei soldiers. Whether the Wei army stationed in the Wei camp on the banks of the Yanshui River would take advantage of the chaos in his camp. Come for a night attack.
At the moment, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, only cares about this. He doesn't care about the rest, even if his sergeant and the former Xiong Hu sergeant are pretending to be a real civil strife in the camp.
After all, in his opinion, if he fails to lure the Wei army this time, then he will have no choice but to retreat to Zhaoling and other Wei cities that he captured, and wait honestly until the next spring to fight again. In this case, the number of soldiers under his command has been lost. Not a problem.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the spring of next year, as long as he pays a sum of money, he will be able to raise an army of tens of thousands in his territory of Chu State. Therefore, even if the Chu soldiers in the camp tonight lose another If there are too many, Xiong Tuo, the Lord of Yangcheng, will not feel bad.
But what makes him more and more anxious is that there has been no movement in the Wei camp on the banks of the Yanshui River so far, which makes Xiong Tuo find it difficult to understand.
Could it be that the fire in our camp was not strong enough? The Wei army did not pay attention?
Xiong Tuo walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and then ordered the personal guards in the tent to observe the fire situation in the camp.
Not long after, the guards came back and told Xiong Tuo frankly that several fires broke out in the entire camp, and the fire was soaring into the sky and spreading widely.
In fact, the guard even sent a message that General Lian Bi asked him to convey on his behalf: If the fire is not controlled, after a while, even if you try to put out the fire, you will be unable to save it.
After Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, heard the news, he pondered for a moment in his tent and asked the personal guard to convey his meaning to General Lian Bi again: It doesn't matter!
The implication is that Xiong Tuo no longer cares about this military camp. Anyway, even with this military camp, he would not be able to capture the Wei army's Yanshui camp.
After conveying the order to Lian Bi to let go of the fire, Xiong Tuo still paced back and forth in the tent, cursing in his heart as he walked.
Damn the Wei people...Are they all blind? The fire in our army's camp was so strong, and those Wei people turned a blind eye?...Did that kid Ji Run see through it? It shouldn't be, since he put those three men back. Wan Qiao was obviously trying to alienate the morale of our army. Thinking about it this way, he should have expected the civil strife in our army, but...how could he not fall into the trap?
Xiong Tuo, who was full of irritability, walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, thinking hard about this matter.
After much deliberation, he could only attribute this matter to the fact that Wei Jun was still waiting and watching.
If you think about it carefully, even if he were the commander-in-chief of the Wei people, he would not be able to immediately order a sneak attack when he discovered that the enemy camp was on fire. Naturally, he had to treat it with caution. God knows if it was a trick by the enemy to lure the enemy.
Thinking of this, Xiong Tuo took a long breath. Time and time again he persuaded himself to be calm and wait for Wei Jun's arrival.
While Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Wei army, the chaos in the Chu camp had escalated. After killing people, the conflict between Xiong Tuo's army and Xiong Hu's army was completely intensified, even though General Lian Bi had acted decisively and sent troops to blockade the camp. In the chaotic central camp, soldiers from the four camps in the east, west, north and south were not allowed to enter or exit, but he was powerless to stop the chaos in the central camp.
At present, the number of soldiers affected by the chaos in this central camp has reached 7,000. Nearly 4,000 of them are soldiers of Xiong Tuo Army, and the other 3,000 or so are Chu soldiers of Xiong Hu Army.
It is hard to imagine that they are obviously the same army of the Chu State. But now these two Chu soldiers are fighting like mortal enemies, eager to kill each other.
…
Qu Cheng watched the two Chu soldiers in the distance with a cold eye, his heart moved slightly, and he said to the general Lian Bi beside him: "General Lian Bi, are we just going to watch them kill each other?"
"Otherwise, what can we do?" Lian Bi said calmly: "Since ancient times, mutinies in the army have been difficult to stop. We only need to ensure that the other four partial camps are not affected. As for the middle camp... let these two groups be the cause of trouble.
Well, Quan should use them to lure the Wei army."
whispering sound!
Seeing that Lian Bi had made up his mind and his attitude was very firm, Qu Cheng curled his lips with some regret in his heart.
In fact, he had better send soldiers from Lian Bi to intervene between the two groups of Chu soldiers who were fighting each other. In this way, the Chu soldiers under Lian Bi's command would also be affected and attacked by the two groups of Chu soldiers. After all, those Chu soldiers were fighting each other.
The two groups of people were furious at the moment.
But unfortunately, Lian Bi was worthy of being a general under Xiong Tuo. He acted very decisively and saw that the situation was irresistible, so he simply gave up the 7,000 or so rebel troops in the middle camp and sent soldiers to guard the roads leading to the southeast, northwest and northwest.
The main roads of the four side camps firmly controlled the chaotic situation in the middle camp, which made all the little tricks in Qu Cheng's mind that were intended to expand the chaos ineffective.
This chaotic battle lasted for more than an hour.
It was not until Xu hour that the chaos in the central camp gradually calmed down. What surprised Lian Bi, Qu Cheng and others was that Yuan Xiong Hu, a soldier with only more than 3,000 soldiers, actually defeated a large number of soldiers in that chaotic battle.
There were hundreds more Xiong Tuo troops than them, and the reason for this incredible phenomenon was that young general with a thousand men, Wu Ji.
What a fierce young general...
General Lian Bi was also secretly surprised.
You know, because Wu Ji was the first to instigate Xiong Hu's soldiers to invade, disrupting Lian Bi's plan, leading to chaos in the middle camp and the death of thousands of Chu soldiers. Therefore, Lian Bi paid special attention to Wu Ji.
It's not that he has any thoughts of revenge. After all, in Lian Bi's view, as long as the chaotic scene is controlled, even if these Chu soldiers pretend to kill each other, it will not have any impact on the overall situation.
Change: Regarding the Yanshui camp of the Wei army, the Chu army still had an absolute advantage in strength, but it was still unable to conquer the Wei camp.
To put it bluntly, Lian Bi was simply paying attention to Wu Ji and wanted to see what this impulsive and upright young man could do. What surprised him was that Wu Ji, a young general with a thousand men, was so brave that he
Far beyond Lian Bi's imagination, Cheng is a rare brave general.
But appreciation is appreciation, and now is not the time for him to make an exception and promote the young Thousand-Man General. The top priority is that he must first consider how to deal with the situation at hand.
You must know that the nearly 4,000 Xiong Tuo troops in the middle camp are about to be defeated by more than 3,000 Xiong Hu soldiers. It is not difficult to guess that when the two groups of Chu soldiers fight to win or lose, then this turmoil is very likely to happen.
It was over. After all, Lian Bi had already ordered heavy troops to blockade the military camp.
Then the question becomes, after this turmoil is over, what will the Chu army do to lure the Wei army?
Should we stop here? Let this enemy-baiting ambush end in a farce?
I believe that if this matter spreads, everyone in the world will laugh out loud: The Chu people did not hesitate to kill each other to lure the Wei people to attack their military camp at night. As a result, before the Wei army could move out, the Chu people themselves ended up suffering from excessive losses.
ended this battle to lure the enemy.
"This is troublesome..." Lian Bi muttered in a low voice.
After hearing this, Qu Cheng glanced at Lian Bi and chuckled twice in his heart.
Of course he understood what Lian Bi was worried about. In fact, what the latter was worried about was exactly what Qu Cheng was surprised and surprised by.
That is, for some unknown reason, the Wei army never came to attack the Chu camp at night.
Originally Qu Cheng was a little worried, worried that King Su of the Wei State would see the Chu camp on fire and order his Wei soldiers to attack the camp without knowing what was going on. But now, after waiting for a long time and no Wei troops came to attack, Qu Cheng suddenly felt something in his heart.
Some confidence.
He didn't know why Zhao Hongrun didn't order the Wei army to take the opportunity to come to the night camp, but in any case, the Wei army's action of turning a blind eye to the Chu army's civil strife was actually a wise move for the current situation.
"General Lian Bi, why not..." Qu Cheng whispered a few words in Lian Bi's ear.
Now that Wei Jun or King Su had proven their wisdom, it was obvious that Qu Cheng had gained some confidence in their eventual victory over Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, so he began to spare no effort to consider for Wei Jun.
"Order him to put down his weapons?"
Lian Bi turned his head when he heard this, frowned and said: "It seems like the current situation. If my soldiers intervene and order Lord Xiong Hu's sergeants to put down their weapons, they will most likely come towards a certain soldier... What do you mean?
Is it to sacrifice a certain general under his command?"
At the end of the sentence, Lian Bi looked a little unhappy.
Facing the unhappy expression on Lian Bi's face, Qu Cheng seemed not to notice it. He smiled bitterly and said, "General Lian Bi, this is all we can do now... unless we stop the plan to lure Wei Jun."
Lian Bi frowned, glanced at Qu Cheng a few times, and then looked at the rebels in the distance, with a hint of hesitation on his face.
As Qu Cheng said, if he wants to continue the situation of "constant civil strife" in the Chu camp, he must let his soldiers intervene. However, in this way, not only will his soldiers under Lian Bi's command be damaged, or the soldiers under his command will be damaged.
It will also spread chaos to the other four partial camps.
And once all the Chu soldiers in the Chu camp mutinied, it would not end well.
"I have to ask Young Master about this matter..."
Lian Bi thought for a long time, but finally found it difficult to make a decision, so he sent someone to convey the matter to Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo in the commander's tent.
Not long after, Xiong Tuo sent a message.
Although it is only four words, it is enough to prove that Xiong Tuo's decisiveness is far superior to Lian Bi: no matter the cost!
"No matter the cost..."
Lian Bi muttered these four words, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: order his soldiers to intervene, and ordered the two groups of Chu soldiers who were causing trouble to put down their weapons.
As Lian Bi considered, when the soldiers of Xiong Hu's army just finally defeated Xiong Tuo's army, and Lian Bi's soldiers immediately intervened, what would those soldiers of Xiong Hu think?
Everyone would subconsciously think that the Chu soldiers of Lian Bi's army were preparing to execute the rebels like them.
So, out of fear, the more than a thousand soldiers of Xiong Hu's army fought with Lian Bi's army without any surprise. When they were fighting, the rest of Xiong Hu's army and Xiong Tuo's army also came to help, resulting in a situation that had just calmed down.
Suddenly it became chaotic again.
Looking at this scene, Qu Cheng was really puzzled.
He has done everything he can and everything he can to help the Wei army, but what is His Highness King Su of Wei doing?
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was standing on the camp wall in the southwest corner of Wei Camp, looking calmly at the distant fire in the direction of Chu Camp.
At the West Camp Gate of the Wei camp, General Bailiba led a group of Wei soldiers and quietly left the camp, gradually disappearing under the dark night.
Wei Bing finally took action.
However, the direction Bailiba led his army did not seem to be the Chu camp. (To be continued.)
