General, he's cheating again

"Hey, let me ask you, how many troops are there in Fuzhou City?"

Gu Zhen smiled with his eyes wide open, and looked very friendly towards the trembling captives.

However, the prisoners looked at each other when they heard the words, and even felt that they were not respected. They said angrily that since ancient times, when have the captured prisoners not been tortured and questioned?

But the origin of this person in front of him is unknown, what is he going to do with a smile on his face while he opens his mouth to ask such exciting information?

Couldn't it be that he ran over to chat with them just because he was idle and bored?

Thinking in this way, the captives suddenly saw Gu Zhen take out a bag of sunflower seeds from his sleeve, and their eyes almost fell out of their sockets in surprise.

"Knock...knock."

Gu Zhen grabbed a handful from the cloth bag and knocked it, spit out the skin of melon seeds and greeted the captives: "Come, don't just watch, let's eat together!"

The prisoners said that they were really speechless!

Since they were captured in this camp, they have to be escorted to the riverside every day to watch the martial arts contest of the soldiers in this camp.

Now there is a smiling person who wants to eat melon seeds with them?

Ah... the people in this camp are very idle, aren't they?Did they respect their captive status?

Although they were slandering wildly in their hearts, the captives finally kowtowed melon seeds together with Gu Zhen.

"Speaking of troops, tsk.

Our lord has 500 soldiers and horses in his hands, and with the help of five foreign countries, it can be counted as a thousand-man battle. "

Speaking of which, the prisoners gave Gu Zhen a sideways look with a sad face, and then mercilessly beat him and said, "From our point of view, you probably aren't from General Gu's camp.

Although your soldiers' martial arts are quite high, there are probably less than 300 of us prisoners in total.

With such a small force, do you want to successfully attack the city?

Tsk, it is estimated to be difficult. "

It wasn't the blessing of asking Song Xun to send him to die, Gu Zhen was hit by the contempt of the captives and his thoughts became more and more heavy, even eating melon seeds was half a beat slower than the captives.

"Hey, big brother, don't be sad."

Seeing Gu Zhen's frowning expression, the captives had already forgotten their situation and even began to motivate Gu Zhen, "You don't know, our prince and those leaders thought it was Gu Zhen's army that came?

Now he was so scared that he didn't even dare to open the city gate, for fear that if he acted rashly, he would end up falling into Gu Zhen's trap.

Think about it, the leader is so timid, so what if there are thousands of people?

At that time, if you frighten them casually, you will definitely be defeated. "

"Hahahahaha, that's right."

The group of captives who were knocking on the melon seeds laughed loudly, as if they forgot that they were also from Fuzhou City.

Gu Zhen also followed them, thinking that he really came to the right place.

When people are bored, they should chat with idiots more and have some fun.

"correct!"

The prisoners suddenly realized that they didn't know the origin of this army, so they smiled and asked, "Which battalion were you sent from?"

The smile on Gu Zhen's face remained undiminished, and he answered naturally, "The capital."

"Huh? The capital?"

The captives couldn't figure it out, "No, if you come from the capital, aren't you all Gu Zhen's soldiers?"

"Tsk, where did this general get his soldiers? The whole world belongs to the emperor. It should be said that they are the emperor's soldiers."

Pointing out the mistakes in the words, Gu Zhen corrected them with a very humble expression.

"The dog emperor is a stupid king. General Gu is really too modest. Who doesn't know that there is no one in the barracks who refuses to accept you."

Originally, it was normal to follow Gu Zhen's words, but when they suddenly realized it, they couldn't help being shocked, "Wait!

Who do you say you are? "

Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows when he saw this group of idiots finally reacting, "My humble Gu Zhen."

The melon seeds in their mouths suddenly tasted bad, as if struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the captives stared at Gu Zhen's smiling face dumbfounded again.

After leaving the tent where the prisoners were held, Gu Zhen fell into melancholy again. There are thousands of troops in the city, and he only has about 300 troops. How can he fight against them?

"Thousands of troops?"

Leng Ji and the others couldn't help worrying along with Gu Zhen when they heard the words. In this way, if there was a real fight, they would have to kill thirty people alone to have a chance of winning.

"The chances of winning head-to-head are small, general, we must outsmart."

I can only propose so far, Leng Ji knows to outwit but doesn't know how to outwit.

"Yes." Hua Yan crossed his arms, echoed Leng Ji and said, "It's not a big problem for the hall master to kill 30 people by himself, but other generals may have a hard time."

"But looking at it from another angle, I heard that the people in the city were either killed or expelled from the city.

Now that the city is rich in supplies, if we continue to fight the war of attrition with them like this, I'm afraid we will be even more disadvantaged. "

Bu Wen Qing Fu's scabbard in his arms said bluntly: "It's better to go directly to the city and gamble with all your strength.

The soldiers in our battalion are not bad at martial arts, so they will definitely not suffer. "

Hearing the frivolous words, the Deputy Envoy's eyes became more and more disappointed, and he reminded again: "If you don't hear it, don't be too conceited."

Slightly pursing his lips, Buwen and the deputy envoy looked at each other, then silently lowered their heads.

"Actually, it's not unreasonable to say nothing."

Gu Zhen looked at the sky, then withdrew his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "If this continues, I'm afraid the camp will run out of ammunition and food before the battle begins.

It seems that the weather has been fine and cloudless these days. Let's send people to the neighboring city to buy kerosene and black powder tomorrow.

Since there are no more people in the city, we will bomb the city. "

"Blow up the city!"

Everyone couldn't help being shocked when they heard the words, "If you bomb the city, even if you win the battle, it will be a death penalty!"

Facing everyone's panic, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of Gu Zhen's lips, but he didn't speak any more.

Immediately, everyone realized, wasn't the emperor's original intention of sending Gu Zhen to vindicate Fuzhou this time to let Gu Zhen die?

So as long as Gu Zhen can return to the capital alive, Song Xun will definitely try to convict Gu Zhen even if he doesn't blow up the city.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and since the decision had been discussed, everyone dispersed with their own concerns.

In the evening, Hua Yan took advantage of nightfall to find Buwen. He had an idea in his mind, and guessed that Buwen would probably practice it with him.

"Do you think the words of those captives are really credible?

Maybe the thousands of soldiers and horses they talked about were just talking nonsense. "

Buwen guessed Hua Yan's thoughts, and said coldly: "What do you mean, do you still want to go to the city to check with your own eyes?"

"My hall master and your martial arts are not bad. It probably won't be a difficult task to sneak into the city in the dark and then escape unscathed."

Hua Yan was a straightforward person, and he bluntly encouraged him: "Don't worry, as long as we go and return quickly, nothing will happen if we don't get discovered by Gu Zhen and the others."

"This……"

Bu Wen showed embarrassment on the surface, but in fact he couldn't wait, "Then let's go!"

After a while, two people with the same shadow appeared at the foot of the outer city wall.

They leaned against the wall and raised their heads to observe the guards patrolling the city wall, and finally waited until the guards changed their shifts and sneaked into the city.

After the two feet landed on the ground, they formed a two-person formation with Hua Yan at the front and no one at the back, walking stealthily and lightly in the city one at a time.

However, the streets in the city were already a chaotic scene of robbery, burning and fighting. The two quietly searched around, and when they heard human voices, they immediately hid themselves in the dark.

"Damn it! There isn't even a woman in this city, there are corpses everywhere!

That prince was a coward, knowing that Gu Zhen was outside the city, he didn't dare to open the city gate, and I was also trapped here to suffer together with him. "

A group of men with knives stepped on the dead body and broke into a wine and meat shop, cursing obscenities while rummaging through boxes and cabinets for wine and meat.

"If you want me to say, you will be content!"

The accomplices persuaded him sullenly: "Staying here, isn't it better than going out to die?

The evil god outside the city has already strangled all the reinforcements dormant in nearby counties and counties. If you want to go out now, the key is to provoke it? "

"Then what's the matter?" The man cursed and threatened: "The reinforcements are only a few hundred people, but we have thousands of troops in the city, so how can you be so fucking afraid?

Besides, with so many people crowded in such a small city, there is almost not enough food.

If we continue to consume like this, I'm afraid that our internal organs will be killed first because of the robbing of food! "

"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat!"

The accomplice took out a bag of butchers and slammed it on the man's forehead, "Here, is it enough?"

Seeing the light in the meat's eyes, the man giggled, peeled off the oil paper, took a bite and said vaguely: "I not only want food, but also women!

Grandma, when did I suffer this kind of uselessness? "

Hua Yan and Bu Wen frowned in the dark, it seemed that the situation in the city was indeed similar to what the captives said during the day.They looked at each other for a while after getting acquainted with each other, and then they planned to leave lightly.

However, when they turned the corner, they were caught by the cursing man in the shop. The man saw a long-haired, thin, red-clothed beauty passing by, his eyes widened and he said excitedly: " Grandpa, what do you really want?

Brothers, there are women in this city! "

Hua Yan who flipped onto the beam lightly almost fell down when he heard the sound, his face turned pale with anger, and secretly scolded that idiot if he was blind?

The noise under the house became more and more clear, maybe the group of people had caught up just now, Hua Yan and Buwen looked around and rushed towards the city wall in one go.

But when they finally escaped many obstacles and climbed out of the city wall, they bumped into the Deputy Envoy of Tingfenglou head-on.

Hua Yan has always been a shrewd person, when he saw the deputy envoy standing there waiting for them not far away, he immediately changed direction and fled to respect them, but he left Bu Wen to suffer without hesitation.

"No, what did you do?"

In the night wind, the Deputy Envoy of Tingfenglou, who usually looked like a ghost on weekdays, was now sullen and even more frightening.

"Deputy envoy, this subordinate will not dare next time."

The biggest advantage of Buwen is to admit mistakes in time, but the biggest disadvantage is not to correct them every time after admitting mistakes.

Recognizing the shortcoming of not hearing, Tingfeng Lou didn't want to tolerate the fault of not hearing anymore, and said coldly: "Buwen, you have never changed after repeated admonitions, this time I can't indulge you again.

be punished. "

Hearing this, Buwen reluctantly took a step towards the deputy envoy, then turned his face away and stretched out his palm to the deputy envoy, pouting in disbelief, "Okay, hit me."

Ok?

Frowning and staring at Buwen's outstretched palm, Deputy Envoy Tingfenglou felt that he couldn't put it into words.

Who told this guy that Tingfenglou's punishment was from the palm of his hand?
