Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 331: The Spy Who Sold the Country
The general in command of the troops was suddenly startled. "What's going on? Is there a spy in our camp?"
He turned around and looked at the general who led the troops, and was even more surprised when he saw that he did not show any expression. "Old Hu, you..."
"Gulit promised me that as long as Wei Dongbi could be transferred away, he would allow me to become the general of the Rongdi tribe." said Hu Tongbing's deputy general.
The deputy general who led the troops stared at him, "You... didn't have much food and fodder to export. This is your strategy to distract the enemy. Do you want to slander the general? Old Hu, you've lost your mind."
Hu Tongbing's lieutenant said, "We have also made contributions in suppressing the rebellion, but I am unwilling to accept that only he can become the general."
"You bastard!" Fei's lieutenant swung his fist and hit Hu's lieutenant.
The soldiers on the city wall seemed not to have seen this scene. They were staring at a place far away.
Fei's lieutenant felt a chill deep in his heart. It seemed that this had been planned long ago. He looked angrily at Hu Zhilu, whose lips were bleeding from the beating he had caused. "The general treated you as a brother, and you actually betrayed him!"
There was an unusual expression in the eyes of General Hu Tongbing. He wiped off the layers of red hair on his lips and said, "Old Fei, I don't want that either."
The deputy commander of the Fei army wanted to say something, but a sharp spear pierced his abdomen...
The Rongdi lion is already at the gate of the city.
……
Wei Dongbi led 500 soldiers on the road. Before they reached Paoguagou, a soldier came running over. The soldier was covered in blood, but it was unclear whether it was his blood or someone else's. "General, General, General Hu's lieutenant has betrayed us, and Chigang City has fallen..."
"Why would General Hu's subordinate turn against us? Is this a treacherous plot of the enemy?" Someone asked immediately after hearing what the soldier said.
The soldier was already dying, and fell on Wei Dongbi's arms. "General, General Hu's lieutenant has killed Fei's lieutenant. You have to be careful..." He died before he could finish his words.
Wei Dongbi's expression suddenly changed drastically. How could Old Hu betray him?
What happened in the city?
"Return to the city along the original route!" Wei Dongbi ordered immediately. If Hu Zhilu really turned against them, then the news about the enemy soldiers exporting food and fodder might not be true.
"General, has Hu Tong's lieutenant been slandered?" asked a soldier.
Wei Dongbi had a heavy expression. He looked at the pawn who died in his arms, and at the feather arrow behind him that obviously did not belong to the Tang Dynasty army. He had never doubted Lao Hu and Lao Fei, as they had been following him closely for many years.
He trusted them as brothers and never believed that any of them would betray him.
"Go back!" Wei Dongbi issued the order.
When they were preparing to return to the city along the same route with five hundred soldiers, the old road they had taken was covered with dust, and the flag of the Rongdi lion caught everyone's attention.
"They are Rongdi people, General, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Let's fight him to death." A tall and strong man next to Wei Dongbi shouted. He was the pioneer of the right side, named Hong Gaoshan.
"The enemy has at least several thousand people, and we only have five hundred. I'm afraid we are no match for them and can't fight to the death." The soldier who was checking the military secrets in the front came back and said.
Wei Dongbi's face was stern, and his deep eyes were constantly shining with a brilliance that no one could see. He looked back at Paoguagou and ordered with concentration, "Retreat to Paoguagou."
The one who led the army was the Rongdi prince Gulit.
Paoguagou is a depression that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Wei Dongbi ordered everyone to retreat into the depression to resist Gullit's 5,000 pawns.
Wei Dongbi was a rare general, which was why he was trained by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and worked hard to defend the most important Chigang City in the north from being breached by Gulit's lions. If it weren't for Wei Dongbi, the Rongdi people would have forcibly occupied the north of the Tang Dynasty long ago.
Five thousand versus five hundred. Wei Dongbi asked Hong Gaoshan to sneak away in the dead of night to find reinforcements, while he stayed here to fight against Gullit.
Gulit had never expected that Wei Dongbi was even more persevering than he had imagined. He had not been able to defeat the 500 Tang Dynasty soldiers for three days. He now wished that Wei Dongbi would die soon. Without Wei Dongbi, the Tang Dynasty would have no generals who could stand on their own.
That Fu Youqi is good, but he has to wait quietly in Yangcheng.
Hong Gaoshan escaped from Paoguagou under the cover of Wei Dongbi. Chigang City had been forcibly occupied by the Rongdi lion, so he could only go to the nearest Rongcheng to call for help.
When he arrived in Rongcheng, he found out that Wei Dongbi and hundreds of their people had been regarded as bandits. He looked for warnings and wanted to argue that they were being slandered, but he was almost arrested as a traitor.
No one was willing to believe him, and everyone regarded Wei Dongbi as a rebel.
The people of the entire Rongcheng were cursing Wei Dongbi, accusing him of colluding with the enemy and committing treason, and killing the civilians of Chigang City. The curses were so vicious that Hong Gaoshan almost wanted to kill him.
Since the guard of Rongcheng didn't believe him, he went to find the general. The general here was just like him, having followed Wei Dongbi, so he should believe in the general's character.
However, when Hong Gaoshan heard from others that His Majesty had issued an order to cut off their food and fodder, he almost cried.
A hero sheds blood but not tears. Hong Gaoshan felt extremely angry and aggrieved when he thought that his general was fighting for the Tang Dynasty in Paoguagou, where his life and death were uncertain, but the people of the Tang Dynasty had abandoned him.
Hong Gaoshan was arrested as a rebel, and no matter how he defended himself, no one believed him.
When he was helpless, he rescued the general army of Rongcheng.
"Gaoshan, it's not that we don't want to mobilize an army. Ever since Chigang City was breached, the news of the general's treasonous dealings with the enemy has spread. His Majesty ordered the city towers to be closed... His Majesty is suspicious of the general, how dare we mobilize an army?" The general surnamed Luo argued softly to Hong Gaoshan.
Hong Gaoshan was furious, but he thought in his heart that anyone could doubt the general except His Majesty.
It is well known that the general is loyal to Your Majesty. How can Your Majesty be so sure that the general is colluding with the enemy and committing treason based on just a few words?
"Where is Hu Zhilu?" That bastard who betrayed the general!
"He died heroically." General Luo replied, "Before he died, he said something on the majestic tower..."
Didn't Hu Zhilu collude with the Rongdi people? How could he have died heroically? Hong Gaoshan asked urgently, "What did he say?"
"The general is a traitor..." General Luo said helplessly.
Hong Gaoshan was furious. "That bastard! He was convicted of treason. He was the one who betrayed the general. He was the one who led the Rongdi lion into the city in a hurry."
