Chapter 680: Contradictions intensify

The next morning, the sixth day of the siege order......

Last night's ambush broke the enemy army, and the morale of Qin Yu's troops was revived. However, surrounding Meng Yuan's 5,000 iron cavalry, Qin Yu did not kill them all, but let Weng Jira's troops survive. Although his trip is incomprehensible, after last night's ambush battle, all the officers and soldiers in the army have regained confidence and respect for Qin Yu......

"Hurry up, a few of you order people to count the captured ordnance......" Qin Yu's side was still meticulously ordering his subordinates to sort out the "remnants" of last night.

The morale of the army was revived, and the soldiers of the battalion started to do things, and they were naturally energetic. Qin Yu watched his original plan being carried out in an orderly manner, and showed a pleasant smile from time to time. At this time, Murong Ying packed up her subordinates and walked to Qin Yu's side.

"Brother Qin......" Murong Ying still called out as always.

Qin Yu turned his head and smiled slightly, revealing a relaxed expression that he hadn't seen for a long time, and responded instead, "What's wrong, Sakura-chan?"

After winning the battle, Murong Ying let go of the incomparable worries of the previous few days, but still said with a trace of confusion and doubt: "It was a good victory last night, but ...... But why do you want to let the enemy army return to the city, with Brother Qin's ability, it is not a problem to besiege the main force of the enemy army here last night, and annihilate the whole army or persuade it to surrender......"

Qin Yu still smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Last night's ambush was just a lesson to the enemy, and it was not yet time to really kill them all." They still have value and last night was only part of the plan......"

"It's your plan again......" Murong Ying still couldn't figure out what Qin Yu's whole set of strategies was, but seeing that Qin Yu had never been happy or sad in the past few days, no matter whether he won or lost, Murong Ying still believed that Qin Yu knew it.

Qin Yu was afraid that Murong Ying would be emotionally uncertain because of his doubts about his actions, so he simply explained: "Last night's ambush battle consumed the enemy's spirit and severely damaged the enemy's morale...... Now you understand, why these **** have been training the 'Ambush Array'......"

"It's all for last night's ambush battle-" Murong Ying continued, "It seems that Brother Qin, you expected this from the beginning, you look so confident, the plan must be very thorough, and you can control all the enemy cities within seven days......"

"Yes......" Qin Yu seemed to have something to think about, smiled warmly at Murong Ying, and then reached forward and brushed Murong Ying's somewhat dry sideburns due to the dust of the battlefield, and said with concern, "Sakura-chan, thank you for always believing in me...... The test that your brother put on me, I will definitely be able to do it, and when I take the enemy city, I will be able to fulfill my oath......" As he spoke, Qin Yu's eyes were filled with tenderness.

Murong Ying naturally knew what Qin Yu meant, and seeing Qin Yu's concern, Murong Ying couldn't help but blush on her cheeks, and said slightly shyly to the side: "Okay, Brother Qin, it's not good for others to listen to it...... Still, it's better to get down to business first, last night's plan was successful, and seven days are running out, so it's time for your plan to fall to the last scene......"

Qin Yu relieved himself, turned his head to look at the city where the enemy army on the opposite side was still holding on, and said confidently: "Yes, today is the sixth day, and it is also the most critical day. Whether the plan succeeds or not, victory or defeat is ......"

Murong Ying just looked at Qin Yu silently from the side, looking at Qin Yu's confident eyes, she believed that Qin Yu would definitely succeed in the end......

Jinan City ......

Ongira suffered a defeat and not only led his troops back to the city in disarray, but was also wounded himself. Qin Yu was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the wound was not treated until early this morning. Although it was not a fatal injury, the bloody pain in his shoulder made Weng Jira grit his teeth unbearably, not only because of the humiliation of his injury, but also because of Qin Yu's resentment for the humiliation he had designed......

"Damn Qin Yu Xiao'er, I must let him die a good death, not a good death......" Weng Jira wanted to scold, but because of his physical discomfort, he couldn't speak.

"General, you are wounded in the shoulder now, so you can't be too ......aggressive," the cronies on the side comforted the soldier while treating his wounds.

"But now, how can I be quiet?" Weng Jira still vented, "I wanted to regain the morale of our army, but I lost the battle, not only did I lose my troops, but I also failed to grab food and grass, which can be said to be worse...... Now I'm in a predicament, Huang Hedan and they already look down on me, and now that he is better than me, he will definitely take the opportunity to ridicule me...... No, I can't do nothing here, I have to do something......"

"But what can you do now, General?" said the soldier, still worried.

"Hmph, the wound of flesh and skin, why worry about it?" Weng Jira didn't care at all, endured the pain in his shoulder, shook his arm and said.

"Eh, eh, eh......" The soldier was afraid that the wound would worsen, so he looked at Weng Jira without scruples, and he kept taking care of it.

"I didn't expect that Huang Hedan and Ulu Wutai only sent two thousand iron horsemen, and they could take advantage of the victory, and General Ben personally led 5,000 elite soldiers, but he was defeated and fled......" Weng Jira calmed down his mood for a while, and then said in a slightly low voice, "Is General Ben really inferior to others, is General Ben really inferior to those two bastards?" I don't accept it...... But the matter has come to this, and after the defeat last night, what kind of eyes will the officers and men of the army look at this general? Hey, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be difficult to revive......"

Seeing that Weng Jira was a little pessimistic and lonely, the soldier turned his head and thought about it, as if he sensed that something was wrong, and then whispered: "General, don't you think this matter is a little strange?"

Weng Jira couldn't understand what his subordinates meant, so he turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

The soldier was afraid that others would hear it, so he continued to whisper: "General Huang Hedan and General Ulu Wutai both led only 2,000 troops, and they broke the enemy army without any casualties...... I don't mean to slander the general, but if you think about it carefully, isn't it a little too strange? Even if Zhuge Kongming is alive, there is no such gap in the use of troops, general, you ...... Can't you see what's wrong with that......"

Weng Jira seemed to hear the meaning of his subordinates for a while, and continued to ask: "What do you mean, do you mean ......?"

"Yes, the general......" the soldier followed closely, "2,000 troops sneaked up on the enemy's 20,000 battalions, defeated the enemy army and grabbed food and grass, not to mention that they had no casualties, this is too fake...... To put it bluntly, I'm afraid this is a joke on the spot......"

"Who is it for...... "Weng Jira's expression suddenly became nervous, as if he realized something, and asked intently.

"Huang Hedan is playing with General Wulu Wutai, and Qin Yu of the enemy army is also playing, do you need to say it so clearly later......" The soldier's eyes signaled, as if he deliberately helped Weng Jira point out the direction.

"What do you mean......" Weng Jira's eyes were shocked, and he had a thought of deviation in his heart, and whispered, "Huang Hedan and Ulu Wutai are two people, and they are ...... to fornicate with the enemy."

"There is only such a hint...... "the soldier continued, "think about it, General, our army will be shaken by the lack of food and grass for several days...... Clearly defending the city pass and waiting for rescue, why did he take the initiative to send troops so confidently and proactively, he also understood that if he made a mistake, it would be a tragic situation of collapse......

Weng Jira didn't say anything, but thought silently for a while, listening carefully to the soldier's explanation.

The soldier continued: "And the enemy army happened to be so coincidental that they gave up their grain and grass in vain...... The Han people used their soldiers to make good use of countermeasures, and if Huang Hedan really fornicated with the enemy army, he had already intended to defect, then he played in the enemy camp that night, grabbed grain and grass and returned to the city, it was nothing more than to shake the morale of our army...... General, think about it, if Huanghe Dan is really on our side, why doesn't he divide the army evenly or hand it over to Lord Timur after he has grabbed the grain and grass, but enjoys it for his own use, and deliberately shows off in front of us......

"Because he wants to use this to shake our army and force our army to be disheartened, so as to weaken the strength of our army to defend the city, so that Qin Yu can send troops to attack the city more certainly......" Weng Jira continued, "This is a long-term plan, and it is a loss that Qin Yu Xiao'er can think of it......"

"Last night's ambush of our army was Qin Yu's conspiracy - he wanted to use this time to inflict a heavy blow on our army and completely break the morale of our army......" The soldier continued to make bold guesses, "Now there are external troubles against Qin Yu outside, and there are internal troubles and rebel generals inside, and our army is suffering from the enemy on its back. General, if you don't take action, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Weng Jira was taken away by the soldiers with a few words, but when he looked back carefully, he was still not sure, and raised his right hand to "stop" and said: "Don't rush to make a conclusion first, whether Huang Hedan and Ulu Wutai have turned against the water and surrendered to the enemy is still undecided......"

"What else does this need to be conclusive? 2,000 troops sneaked up on 20,000 enemy camps, and the soldiers were not injured at all, they grabbed the surplus of grain and grass, and they also succeeded twice in a row, who would believe it?" The soldier gradually said in a hurry, "The matter has been delayed again and again, Qin Yu's conspiracy has succeeded, and now the thief is beside him, and the general will not do it again, but it will be too late......"

The more the soldier said this, the more anxious he became, and he had just wanted to get up to show his attitude, but suddenly there was bad news outside......

"Report-" The soldiers outside looked panicked, did not ask for any instructions, and rushed into the gate of the camp of Onjira.

"What's going on, so panicked?" asked Ongira.

"Report to the general, something is wrong!" the soldier said anxiously, "the soldiers of our army...... Our soldiers and General Huang Hedan's men fought-"

"What are you talking about?" Weng Jira was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't know why the situation had deteriorated so suddenly, and after standing up, he hurriedly put on his armor, took his saber and said, "Where, take me quickly!"

"Yesβ€”" After informing the soldiers of the order, he hurriedly took Weng Jira and his cronies out of the camp and rushed to the scene of the incident......

Brawls did occur in the army, and the situation was not light. The place of the fight was on the side of the north gate where Huang Hedan was stationed, and the two sides of the conflict were naturally Weng Jira's subordinates and Huang Hedan's subordinates, and the two sides not only fought with fists and feet, but also faced each other with blades. I don't know which side acted first and killed the other party's soldiers by mistake, but the gunpowder was about to explode, the two sides were tense, swords and guns were facing each other, and the corpses of many soldiers were already lying downstairs at the north gate......

"Ahh......h However, the situation seemed to be out of control, and the soldiers on both sides were at loggerheads, and neither seemed to have any intention of stopping......

After inquiring about the news from his subordinates, he learned that it was Weng Jira's subordinates who were dissatisfied with their army's exclusive use of food and grass and military supplies - his subordinates were "rich in food and clothing", but Weng Jira's subordinates were almost hungry and had no strength to defend the city, and last night, Weng Jira's troops were defeated in a surprise attack on the enemy camp, and the contradiction suddenly rose to the extreme, and in order to grab grain and grass, "their own people" even did not hesitate to fight each other......

At this time, Weng Jira and his cronies had just arrived at the scene of the incident, but it was already too late, and the downstairs of the north gate was already stained with blood......

"Stop!-" Almost at the same time, Onjira and Huang Hedan roared in unison, ordering their men to stop fighting.

It was all the order of their own general, and the soldiers on both sides stopped and slowly retreated in the direction of their respective camps. However, the hatred between the two sides did not subside, and they looked at each other as if they were enemies, and even when they retreated, they did not put down the knives in their hands, leaving a "river of blood" full of corpses on the middle road......

Before Huang Hedan could call to question Weng Jira, the cronies and soldiers who Weng Jira followed took the opportunity to whisper in his ear: "General, you have seen it now, Huang Hedan has already begun to move...... I don't know what the intentions of the Ulu Wutai are, but I am sure that Huang Hedan has indeed rebelled, and today he is using the contradiction to massacre our army here, intending to greatly disturb the hearts of our army, and even intend to take the lives of our army, so as to fornicate with Qin Yu...... General, if you don't do it again, it's too late......"

"Then what should I do......" Weng Jira was also blinded by the chaos in front of him, and couldn't calm down for a while, so he simply asked his subordinates.

However, before the cronies and soldiers could speak, Huang Hedan on the stairs opposite was already fully armed, and he saw Weng Jira himself downstairs at a glance. Huang Hedan was naturally angry, holding a saber in his hand, his eyes were full of disgust, and he said angrily: "General Weng Jira, what do you mean? After losing the battle last night and not getting grain and grass, you came to rob us of our grain and grass today, right......?" Even if you rob it, you actually kill people, you were beaten by Qin Yu and returned defeated, and when you come back, you vent your anger at your own people, right?"

"Don't spew blood!" Weng Jira was so angry for a while that he couldn't fight back, it was a fact that he lost last night, and today's internal strife between his subordinates and Huang Hedan's subordinates was not only a corruption of military discipline, but also showed his incompetence, Weng Jira was already ashamed and angry and speechless.

"What is this-" Huang Hedan pointed to the corpses of the soldiers under the city tower, and said mercilessly, "If you can't beat Qin Yu, you can't grab food and grass, so you will come to kill our people...... Weng Jira, I respect you as a general of the army, and I tolerated you in every way, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing that lost your conscience and corrupted military discipline, what kind of face do you have to explain here?"

"You-" Ongira almost couldn't hold back, and the next moment he seemed to draw his sword and come forward to fight Huang Hedan.

"General, wait-" At this time, the cronies and soldiers stopped Weng Jira in their ears, "Huang Hedan surrendered to Qin Yu, he did this precisely to provoke you and shake the morale of our army...... General, if you act rashly, you will fall for the tricks of Huang Hedan and Qin Yu, calm down......"

"My subordinates have been beaten and everyone has been killed, how can you calm down......" Weng Jira did not reply to Huang Hedan's questioning, but quietly continued to talk to his cronies and soldiers.

The cronies seemed to have a plan in mind, and continued: "I have a way to expose Huang Hedan and foil Qin Yu's conspiracy, as long as the general listens to my ......"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, what do you say......" Now Weng Jira has no platform in front of the army, no matter whether it is true that Huang Hedan fornicated with the enemy army, now he can only temporarily listen to his cronies and subordinates, in order to get rid of the "embarrassment on the scene".

"General, you first talk to Huang Hedan, say that you will come to the general's camp tonight, and the general will explain everything......" The soldier said what he said and did next.

Weng Jira did not hesitate, and after a calm expression for a while, he withdrew his saber, looked at the angry Huang He Dan Duotai, and tried to calm down: "General Huang Hedan, there is indeed a misunderstanding in today's incident, and I will severely punish the crimes committed in my own army...... However, there is a hidden secret about last night's defeat and today's infighting, and I ask General Huang Hedan to calm down......"

"Oh, hidden feelings......" Seeing that Weng Jira had rare composure and self-reflection, Huang Hedan didn't realize that today's Weng Jira was a little abnormal. But the facts are in front of him, it was the unreasonable hand of Weng Jira's subordinates who made the first move, and he didn't believe that Weng Jira would have any explanation.

"Please come to my tent tonight, and I will naturally tell you one by one...... "Weng Jira followed the advice of his cronies and subordinates and conveyed his meaning to Huang Hedan...... (To be continued.) )
