Chapter 922: Chen Gong's Poisonous Plan
It was just dawn, and torches were still burning in the camp of the Han army.
At this moment, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the camp.
Several scouts dressed in Han army uniforms turned over and dismounted, took out their tokens, and quickly entered the camp. Several scouts ran outside Liu Bei's tent and asked the soldiers on the night vigil to tell Liu Bei that there was an urgent report.
The soldiers who were on vigil did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately woke Liu Bei up.
A moment later, the tent was lit with oil lamps.
Liu Bei sat cross-legged on the bed and met the scouts who had just returned.
Several scouts rode back overnight, dusty and tired. Not only that, but they also had an anxious look in their eyes, and it was clear that something big had happened. Liu Bei was good at observing words and feelings, and saw that the situation was wrong at a glance, and asked: "What news did you get when you investigated the situation of the Shu army?" ”
The leading scout said, "King Han, things are a little tricky! ”
Liu Bei was in a bad mood, and when he saw that the scout was procrastinating and didn't go straight to the point, he immediately scolded: "Lone has experienced countless winds and waves, and there is nothing that can not be beared, just say it." ”
"Plop!"
Several scouts saw Liu Bei's anger and quickly knelt on the ground.
Among them, the leading scout said respectfully: "Back to the Han King, the Shu army has changed the direction of the road, they actually ran behind our army and killed them along the road of our army. ”
"Ahh
Liu Bei exclaimed, his face turned pale.
The back road was copied by Wang Can!
At this moment, Liu Bei's resentment towards Wang Can rose again.
However, Liu Bei is also a generation of heroes, with excellent psychological quality, and soon regained his calm, his face was gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice: "How many people know the news?" ”
The leading scout immediately replied, "Only the scout who listens to the news knows, the others don't know." ”
Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "If you leak the slightest rumor, you will be alone." ”
The tone was cold and chilling.
"Humble duty understands!"
Several scouts who listened to the news kowtowed in reply, their hearts were cold, but cold sweat kept oozing from their foreheads. Liu Beiping is kind to people, but he has been in a high position for a long time, and as a monarch who dominates one side, it is impossible not to be majestic. He suddenly became angry, and several of the scouts were so frightened that their bodies trembled and they did not dare to move.
Liu Bei's expression changed, and he smiled again and said, "If you are tired for a night, you will be rewarded with five thousand yuan each." ”
"Thank you, King Han!"
Several scouts thanked them again and again, and their hearts were quite happy.
Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered, "Go and rest!" ”
"No!"
Several scouts bowed their heads, hunched over, and slowly retreated.
After a few scouts left the camp, Liu Bei slapped him on the table, his face was blue and very angry. He scolded Wang Can in his heart, and he wanted to cut Wang Can with a knife, but he still had to deal with things, and shouted: "Come on, invite the ** teacher!" When the soldiers outside the camp heard this, they immediately went to carry out the order.
At this time, the sky was not yet dawning, but Liu Bei's heart had already lit up with a red light.
After a while, Chen Gong walked into the camp tent and bowed his hand and said, "Humble Chen Gong, meet the lord!" ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”
Chen Gong asked, "Dare to ask the lord, is it that the soldiers who probed on Wang Can's news have returned?" ”
Liu Bei had a gloomy face, nodded and said; "Just now, the scout who probed the movements of Wang Can's army came back to report that Wang Can's army had actually fled to our rear and had cut off our army's rear route. Wang Can is cunning and cunning, and he ran to the back quietly, hateful, really hateful! ”
After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "The most hateful Cai Mao actually led his troops to retreat, damn it!" ”
Whether it is Cai Mao or Wang Can, they have become the target of Liu Bei's scolding.
Chen Gong was also surprised, he didn't expect Wang Can to quietly cut off the back road of the Han army, which was powerful enough.
Chen Gong frowned slightly, saw Liu Bei's indignant expression, and said: "The humble position did not consider the situation of being outflanked by Wang Can in the back road, this is the responsibility of Chen Gong's negligence, please punish the lord." ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Gongtai, taking Wancheng at this time is the most important thing." ”
Chen Gong said: "The lord is wise, we must capture Wancheng at this time, otherwise our army will be in danger." ”
As soon as Liu Bei heard Chen Gong's words, he understood that Chen Gong was persuading him.
Liu Bei didn't talk nonsense on this issue, and asked directly: "Gongtai, the city wall of Wancheng is very strong, Zhang Xiu gathered all the troops to be stationed in the city, it is difficult to attack, what is the way for Gongtai to take Wancheng." ”
When Chen Gong heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.
Judging from the siege of the city during the day yesterday, Zhang Xiu had enough preparations.
The city had food, soldiers, and equipment, and it was already a strong line of defense. Moreover, Chen Gong thought that Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Wang Can, so Zhang Xiu would have no worries, and he was not afraid of being surrounded by Liu Bei, as long as he held Wancheng.
Such a Wancheng is undoubtedly a strong city.
Liu Bei saw that Chen Gong was speechless, and said helplessly: "Today, it was announced that the soldier who climbed the city tower would be promoted to one level, and the soldier who killed Zhang Xiu would be crowned marquis, this condition is not enough, it is not enough." In this case, let it go a little more, and add a few more, and as long as the soldiers who climb the tower, they will be rewarded with three thousand; As long as you can kill an enemy soldier, the officer will be promoted to one level; Able to kill ten enemy soldiers, the officer is promoted to two levels; Kill twenty enemy soldiers, and the officer will be promoted to three ranks; Kill fifty enemy soldiers and be promoted to general. ”
When he spoke, Liu Bei's tone was heavy, revealing an unquestionable meaning.
Chen Gong gritted his teeth after hearing this, as if he had made up his mind.
He looked at Liu Bei with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, extraordinary means should be used in extraordinary times. There is not much time left for us, and we must take Wancheng tomorrow to have a turnaround, otherwise we can only withdraw our troops. ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and shouted: "Never withdraw the troops!" ”
The contradiction between Liu Bei and Wang Can has been going on for a long time, not a matter of one or two days.
Although Liu Bei's army is dangerous now, Liu Bei does not intend to retreat. His eyes burned, he looked at Chen Gong, and asked loudly, "Gongtai, what can you do?" ”
Chen Gong showed hesitation on his face, but when he saw Liu Bei's expression, he became firm again.
In the end, Chen Gong said: "My lord, in order to encourage the morale of the army, allow the soldiers to loot for three days after breaking the city. In this way, the soldiers will definitely be encouraged to attack the city, which is more direct and motivating than the promotion reward announced by the lord. ”
After Liu Bei heard this, his face changed instantly.
Looting at will for three days means that Wancheng is completely ruined.
Then, Liu Bei took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”
When Chen Gong heard Liu Bei agree, he felt lost in his heart, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to defeat Wang Can, he could only take extraordinary measures.
Liu Bei threw off the brocade robe on his body, stood up and said, "Gongtai, you go and prepare, immediately gather all the soldiers in the camp and prepare to attack Wancheng." As he spoke, Liu Bei began to put on his clothes and armor, and then he picked up the double-strand sword placed on the weapon rack and hung it around his waist, strode towards the outside of the camp tent, and ordered the army to assemble.
The drums thundered, and after the army gathered, it went to Wancheng again.
This time, the momentum of the Han army has changed dramatically.
Every soldier of the Han Army is like a hungry wolf, and the wildness in his heart is completely released.
Because Liu Bei had already conveyed an order, telling all the soldiers under his command that once the city was broken, the soldiers in the army would be allowed to loot in Wancheng for three days. Such an opportunity is useful for every soldier, after they break through Wancheng, they can rob women unscrupulously, and they can rob money unscrupulously, this is the effect of a soldier's primitive ** outburst.
Brutal, yet direct.
In order to break through Wancheng, Liu Bei has already let it go.
