The boss always wants to kill me

Chapter 85 Deceitful secret operations and dismal generals 3

Cang Bi was sitting in the barracks, and Liu Bai came in with a bowl of porridge. In the past few days, he took the initiative to take on the task of serving the general.

"General, there are people from the south," Liu Bai said.

"The reinforcements are here?" Cang Bi jumped up, twitching the wound, grinning in pain.

"Slow down." Liu Bai supported him, stood on tiptoes, and gently pushed aside the collar to peek inside. There were no blood marks on the bandage, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cangbi came out of the tent to greet him, the messenger got off his horse, and indeed brought good news: "Great Sima led an army of [-], and has rushed here, and will be there in three days, does General Li have any military information to report?"

"Everything is fine. The Hulu army is about to move, but they are afraid. They haven't made a large-scale invasion yet, and there are not many casualties. It's just that there are dozens of victims here who need to be resettled." Cang Bi pointed to the women and children living in another corner not far away, Cao Feihu It seems that they are standing in front of them unintentionally, beware of unruly soldiers, "I hope they can be prioritized."

"What else?" The envoy was a little impatient.

"Also..." Cang Bi was a little bit tight, "There is not enough military rations, can you report and send some, let alone meat and vegetables these days, there are only a handful of rice grains in the porridge."

The envoy sneered: "The Li family's army has always prepared their own military rations. Your grandfather had this ability, and your father had this ability. But it's not enough for you? The imperial court doesn't have so much food for the army that can only camp."

"What do you mean you can only set up a camp!" Liu Bai stood up angrily, "The general saved our village, led people to wipe out the Xiongnu patrol team, and rescued me under the siege of many Hu soldiers!"

"Oh? How many people were killed in total?" The messenger raised his eyebrows.

"Probably..." Liu Bai estimated, "There are at least a thousand people."

"Hu captives invaded with an army of tens of thousands, and how dare you come to claim credit for destroying only a thousand people?" The envoy raised his hand angrily, and greeted the unruly young boy, "What are you!"

Cangbi pushed Liu Bo behind him, received the envoy's slap on the chest, and said patiently: "He is a newly recruited reserve soldier in the army. He hasn't learned the rules well. Please excuse me if he offends you. You see him too. Now, I only have the strength of one division, and it is really impossible to meet an army of tens of thousands, and I hope Lord Sima will come as soon as possible to relieve the urgent need."

"Do you think Master Sima is late?"

"I don't dare." In front of people who don't want to see her, Cangbi didn't say anything wrong.

The envoy rushed to the front of the line, ignored the cursing sergeant, scooped up a bowl of gruel, took a sip, it was as pale as water, threw the bowl and porridge to the ground in disgust, got on his horse and left.

"What bullshit." A soldier scolded angrily.

"Come on, after being greedy for such a general, you still expect others to respect you? Don't fall into the crime of being unfavorable in defense at that time, and it would be good to implicate us."

"General, he is just an emissary, why is he so defiant?" Liu Bai clenched his fists not very generously, and there were several faint scars of different shades on the back of his hands, and he did not know where they came from.

Cangbi didn't care about the food, and gave gruel to a child who was complaining that he was not full, and sat down beside the common people: "It should be, in court, no one thinks of me."

"The Li family's army is so powerful that it has nothing to do with me." Cangbi closed her eyes, and Li Qi's lackluster first half of life was laid out in her mind, "Do you think I look like I can lead soldiers to fight?"

Liu Bai stared earnestly and said, "Like!"

"I saved you, but you are biased against me." Cang Bi rubbed Liu Bai's messy head, put her chin on it, and talked about Li Qi's "story" he knew.

Li Qi is handsome in appearance and gentle in personality. He should be envied by everyone in a scholarly family, but he was born in a general's family. Everything is regarded as a defect that hinders the charge. Compared with the grandfather of the general who protects the country, the father and uncle with outstanding achievements, and the fierce elder brother, he is a different kind of family, and no one likes to see him, but he is born here, and he cannot escape from the battlefield of killing.

Joined the army at the age of ten, fell into the battle at twelve, and his physical "incompetence" made him always stand behind and fight with the archers, thus saving his dying life.

In the year of the weak crown, Li Qi, a descendant of a famous general, was still a little archer with no military merits. Until the battle to capture the western frontier, the Li family army was defeated by the enemy, and tens of thousands of troops fell into the formation of fire bulls. The treacherous tactics disrupted the army formation, the general fell from his horse and was trampled to death, the morale of the army was in turmoil, the enemy army took advantage of the victory to pursue, bow | crossbow salvo, under the double attack of fierce bulls, destroyed the invincible army.

"Grandfather, father, uncle, and elder brother all died in this battle. Only I, who was at the end, escaped and retreated with [-] remnants. Fortunately, that battle was not defensive, otherwise the rest of the Li family army should have The head fell to the ground, and I apologized with death." The dark green eyes flashed with sorrow, "Tens of thousands of lives, like ants, are gone in less than half a day... The flames on the battlefield are churning, and there are everywhere. The charred corpses, limbs and arms are scattered, and it is impossible to tell who they belonged to."

"Why do you want to do this?" Cangbi looked at the front blankly, her eyes were empty, "Why do you have to fight to the death? After returning home, the family members were crying heartbrokenly, so my grandmother went like this. I opened the lid of the coffin and saw my unrecognizable little brother. I cried for seven days. Later, the child was gone and my body collapsed. Before I came, I was still lying on the sickbed and couldn’t get out of bed. There were also laughter and laughter, but with this word, the whole family collapsed, and all the meritorious rewards were turned into clouds."

"It's not just the Li family. There are tens of thousands of soldiers, none of them has wives and children. How many families should be destroyed by this defeat."

"That's why we must win wars," Liu Bo said.

"So what if you win?" Cangbi lowered her eyes, and a gust of wind blew away, sweeping away the wind and sand at her feet, "Where you win, you will lose. In a place where the battlefield is horrific, countless lives will always die. If it is not my Central Plains... The people of the country shouldn’t be alive? Is it just a piece of wasteland where corpses are strewn across the field and the grass and trees are blood-stained?”

Liu Bai was speechless, took Cangbi's hand, put it on his knee, and rubbed it gently, as if he wanted to heal some pain.

Not far away, Lu Ling and two women were cleaning up the porridge bucket. Cao Feihu helped them carry it easily when he saw it. Living in simple curtains, but living peacefully for the rest of our lives, is it not a joy to be with each other for a lifetime, but we are born as human beings, and most of our lives are involuntary.

Lu Ling tried to grab Cao Feihu's wrist, but Cao Feihu dodged it as if struck by lightning, put the porridge bucket away, grabbed the two oncoming soldiers, and fled.

Those two people lived with Liu Bai and were subordinates of the brigade commander who was at odds with Li Qi. This time, they were assigned the task of setting up the stone formation in the west of the hills.

"Is the rock setting ready?" Cao Feihu asked.

"Okay, okay." The soldier waved his hand impatiently.

Cao Feihu left in peace, while the other two returned to the other side.

After entering the account, one of them said: "I just piled up two stones, and I didn't even set up the net. You dare to say it, you are not small."

"Come on, when we were discussing this stupid scheme, you were the one who howled the loudest." The soldier collapsed on the hard couch, "Set up a bullshit stone formation, rescue is coming, expect us to rely on a few stones to smash it Dead barbarian? It's better to smash Li Qi to death, and we can change to a capable general to serve."
