Chapter 729: Plotting Rebellion (4)
Whether people like it or not, night and day always alternate punctually according to a certain order. When the sun sets, people are ready for the night. In the camp of the Qin Wangjun outside Xiangyang City, the soldiers who had not fought for two days had almost no suspicions, and the peaceful day was about to pass again, so they were all very happy, because ...... They lived one more day.
The autumn nights have come much earlier, and the nights have begun to lengthen their time to rule the world.
Two soldiers, one large and one small, sat next to each other, watching the sunset in the west.
"Brother Chen, you said it would be great if we could not fight for the rest of our lives!"
The young soldier, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, looked at the blood-like remnant sun and sighed: "If you can watch the sun sink quietly every day, sleep beautifully and watch the sun rise...... How happy. ”
"Out of breath!"
The man surnamed Chen looked to be in his thirties, he plucked a weed and put it in his mouth, chewing the slightly bitter grass while asking, "Little Liuzi, why did you become a soldier in the first place?" ”
"Being a soldier can make you have a full stomach!"
Xiao Liuzi smiled, not feeling any shame in his purpose of joining the army: "When King Qin's army crossed the border, the township was like a plague of locusts, and there was no grass. The grain was requisitioned by the army, and the villagers were forced to come to Xiangyang again. If I hadn't had the strength to do it, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the way to escape with everyone. At that time, I thought that it would be good to join the army, at least I didn't have to starve to death...... You can't be a starving ghost, can you? ”
"What the fuck is this!"
The man surnamed Chen sighed and said: "I really didn't expect Xiao Mo to be so ruthless, he has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, but tens of thousands of refugees poured into Xiangyang City, he really didn't open the city gate, and when the refugees got close, he ordered a rain of arrows to be put down, there were too many dead!" It is said that the dead bodies under Xiangyang City that day were piled up half a person high! ”
"Xiao Milling?"
Xiao Liuzi smiled coldly, glanced at the man surnamed Chen and said, "You originally followed His Royal Highness King Qin, and you didn't dare to speak ill of King Qin, but do you really think that Xiao Mo is ruthless?" If it weren't for King Qin snatching food and driving away the victims, 10,000 people would have starved to death?! Will thousands of people be shot to death under the city of Xiangyang? ”
He turned his head to look at the sunset, and said in a deep voice: "If I were Xiao Miao, I wouldn't dare to open the city gate easily." Who knows if there are any people mixed with the fine work of King Qin, what if the city gate is opened and the fine work is in the city? I heard that Xiao Mo saluted the victims on the gate of the city, crying and ordering the arrows to be released! Comparatively...... Or King Qin's heart is more ruthless. ”
"Shh......h
The old soldier surnamed Chen's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't dare to say this kind of nonsense!" ”
"What are you afraid of!"
Xiao Liuzi suddenly said mysteriously: "Look, in just one or two days, General Han will definitely fall out with His Royal Highness King Qin." Don't you see what is going on in the camp? Most of the people are on General Han's side, and no one wants to fight a decisive battle with the Liang army outside Xiangyang City! I've heard...... Someone is talking about it, and they want to be admonished! ”
"What did you say?!"
The man surnamed Chen was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned pale: "The soldier ...... admonish"
"We want to force the King of Qin to order the withdrawal of troops."
Before Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, he saw a sudden chaos in the distance of the camp. Countless soldiers shouted gibberish words and walked towards King Qin's big tent. It seemed that there were at least a few thousand people, and the two of them listened carefully and found that the group of people was shouting things like not to be ghosts of death and to withdraw troops.
"Not good!"
The man surnamed Chen was shocked: "I want to mutiny!" ”
He stood up violently and was about to run to King Qin's big tent, but was pulled by Xiao Liuzi: "Brother Chen, you don't want to live anymore!" Now no one can stop you, and you can only be beaten to death in front of those people! This kind of thing, if we don't make peace, we can be worthy of King Qin. ”
"......"
"But what can be, go! Let's hide, we can't get forward. ”
Xiao Liuzi pulled him and ran towards his tent.
At the same time, thousands of Qin Wang's personal troops also quickly gathered under the command of Wei Chigong, and stood densely in front of King Qin's tent for several floors. The archers had already placed their feathered arrows on the bowstring, and they would release them at the first command. But everyone's faces were ugly, and the hands holding the hard bows were trembling. No one wants to kill their fellow soldiers, knives and feathered arrows are used against the enemy!
"Stop!"
Wei Chigong stood in front of Li Shimin's personal soldiers and shouted: "Take another step forward, Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless!" ”
"General Wei Chi!"
Someone in the crowd shouted: "We want to see His Royal Highness King Qin, we won't be ghosts of death!" We have to ask His Royal Highness King Qin, where is the grain! ”
"That's right! We're going home! ”
"Stop!"
Wei Chigong shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has sent someone to ask General Han to discuss the matter of retiring the army, don't believe the rumors!" If someone wants to encourage you to make trouble, don't be stupid! ”
"If we are hungry and fight with hundreds of thousands of Liang troops, it will be stupid!"
I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and it immediately stirred up the emotions of the soldiers.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
The shouts are higher and higher!
……
……
"Lord!"
Zhao Wu opened the curtain and glanced outside, his face turned a little pale: "Please make a decision quickly, if you let the personal guard cavalry raid at this time, catch Han Shixu and execute him immediately, those soldiers who want to mutiny will be shocked, and the scene can still be controlled." If the soldiers were encouraged to storm the tent, the situation would be difficult to ......."
"It's late."
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Lone made a mistake...... Lone shouldn't have sent someone to let Han Shicao come to my big tent to discuss matters, Lone sent someone to go, Han Shixu guessed that Lone was going to attack him, how could he continue to wait? If it is a lone personal guard, the cavalry will rush over directly...... There will be no such thing as the current situation. ”
He put on the iron helmet, and then looked at the horizontal knife on his waist: "Actually, Lone has always distrusted Han Shixu, but Lone has endured it...... Maybe you all think that loneliness is indecisive, but can't you see the difficulties of loneliness clearly? Killing Li Jing, Lone has been called thin and cold. So much so that many subordinates separated from the loneliness, and the fiasco in Chang'an was not without this reason. And Han Shixu's credit is too great, even if he has ill intentions, he can only pretend not to know! If Lone has already won the country and has already sat on that chair, Lone will be the first to kill him...... But the country is undecided, the world is uneven, how can Lone kill him to chill everyone's hearts? ”
He suddenly smiled, looked outside and said, "Han Shixuan knows that Lone doesn't dare to kill him, and Lone really doesn't dare to kill him...... But he didn't dare to kill the orphan openly, so he instigated the soldiers to make a rebellion. But he ignored one thing, if Lone went out now, stood in front of the soldiers and announced the immediate withdrawal, do you think the soldiers would mutiny? Han Se-cao...... He thought of rebellion as too simple. ”
After saying this, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
More and more people gathered outside the door, surrounding Li Shimin's big tent. Thousands of guards stood layer by layer, armed with weapons on guard. They nervously looked at the increasingly angry crowd in front of them, their palms covered with sweat. From time to time, there were shouts from the crowd, encouraging the soldiers to storm the tent. But fortunately, the soldiers were not completely carried away by the excitement.
There is no doubt that Han Shixu has installed a lot of cronies in the crowd.
It is these people who are constantly shouting slogans.
Li Shimin walked out of the big tent and looked at the black crowd in front of him. He took a slow breath and strode forward.
"Spread out and let them come."
Li Shimin commanded as he walked.
Wei Chigong saw Li Shimin come out, but was stopped by Li Shimin just as he was about to speak. He followed a path that the soldiers had separated, and walked slowly to the soldiers who were gathered around. Seeing Li Shimin come out, the shouting soldiers immediately fell silent. The person standing at the front subconsciously took a step back, and his excitement was drilled out by the innate fear and obedience of the nobles in his heart.
"What do you want to be alone?"
Li Shimin asked people to move a chair and stand up, glanced at everyone and said, "Do you want to withdraw from the army?" You're worried that you won't have enough food to eat, aren't you? ”
No one answered, no one dared to answer.
"You idiots!"
Li Shimin pointed in the direction of the baggage camp and said loudly: "What are your own eyes for? You can only hear with your ears, and you can't see with your own eyes! The food in the baggage camp is there, and you only have to look at it to know if someone is deliberately encouraging you to make trouble! ”
"Gu has already arranged for the men and horses to be cut off, and is ready to withdraw the troops overnight today."
He asked aloud, "You don't want to fight, I'm disappointed." But Lone also feels sorry for your life, just as he feels sorry for his own. Since you all want to withdraw, then withdraw. Let's wait for next year's spring to come back again! Lonely's anger is that you are all idiots who have been provoked to be used as knives! ”
"You're lying!"
Someone shouted in the crowd: "You are going to send tens of thousands of people as bait, you are going to sacrifice our lives!" ”
"Who!"
Li Shimin's eyes swept across the crowd like lightning: "Stand up and talk to Lone face to face!" ”
"Are you really going to retire today?"
Someone asked.
Li Shimin said categorically: "Withdraw the army!" Retire today! Let's return to Xicheng County and make plans again! ”
"Fake!"
Someone shouted, "He's lying!" I saw with my own eyes that all the food from the baggage camp was transported to his own barracks. He was going to retreat, but he was running on his own! He wants to leave us all behind as substitutes for the dead, let us block the reinforcements of the Liang army, and he himself runs back to Xicheng County to have a good time! ”
"Stand up!"
Li Shimin said angrily: "Whoever saw it with his own eyes, stand up!" ”
At this moment, suddenly a cold arrow shot from somewhere in the crowd. Like electricity, go straight to Li Shimin!
……
……
With a bang, the feather arrow shot accurately at Li Shimin's heart. The heart shield of his iron armor was shattered, because Li Shimin was standing on the chair, and the arrow was shot not far away, with great force, although it failed to penetrate the armor, it knocked Li Shimin off the chair. If Li Shimin hadn't been prepared and hid another heart shield in his armor, he was afraid that this arrow would have killed him.
"Kill Li Shimin!"
Someone shouted.
"King Qin is dead, everyone killed those King Qin's personal soldiers, otherwise we won't have a way to live!"
"General Han is invited to preside over military affairs!"
With the shouting, the crowd suddenly boiled like boiling water. The people standing in front saw Li Shimin being hit by an arrow, but they also saw that Li Shimin was quickly helped to his feet. But the people behind them squeezed forward like a tide, and they couldn't control their bodies at all. The crowd continued to press forward, and many feather arrows shot out of the crowd and smashed at those Li Shimin's personal soldiers.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Wei Chigong shouted while holding Li Shimin: "Kill!" Kill all the thieves! ”
On the periphery of the camp, Han Shixu, who was sitting on a war horse, smiled. Raised his head and pointed forward: "Rush over, and kill Li Shimin while the people loyal to Li Shimin have not yet gathered." Death to see the corpse! ”
"Kill!"
Han Sui shouted loudly and rushed forward with thousands of cavalry.
