On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 387 There is a lot of discussion

The bright moon hangs in the sky. Outside the Sui army's camp, a group of sentries are patrolling to prevent the Yan army from attacking the camp.

After all, Cui Che is considered an expert at robbing camps. It's not Shi Wansui who came to protect the children, but he would still be on guard against Cui Che coming to disturb him at night.

The Sui army used teams, regiments, and armies as units when it went on an expedition, but under the Centurion Corps, it could actually be subdivided into groups of ten people.

The boring night patrol makes people feel bored, and the rumors in the army make people feel uneasy.

A young cavalryman suddenly said:

"Are those salt men really rebelling? Aren't they afraid of beheading!"

The team leader glared at him and scolded:

"The manager gave the order earlier not to discuss this matter, and now he has forgotten it!"

A veteran laughed from behind and said:

"There are so many people discussing this matter in the military camp. If the manager wants to punish them one by one, there is no way they can handle it. Captain Shan, you are well-informed. Why don't you tell us all what this matter is about?"

True or false.”

Everyone agreed:

"Yes! Captain Shan, just tell us."

When the team leader named Shan saw this, he pondered for a moment and said:

"Although during the day, Manager Lai came forward to refute the rumors, judging from the reaction of Manager Lai, I am afraid they are inseparable."

The young garrison asked curiously:

"Isn't it normal to manage the reactions and refute rumors?"

Team leader Shan sighed inwardly, but he could only explain patiently:

"When we first came to Xiangzhou, General Manager Lai couldn't wait to have people build siege equipment in order to seize the city before the Yan people returned to aid Yecheng.

"But ever since the rumors spread, Manager Lai has never made any preparations to attack the city. This is obviously a big change."

Hearing what the captain said, the young cavalryman complained:

"Then why should we fight in Yecheng? I came all the way from Jeju to Hebei, how could I go back home like this?"

It was the same veteran who had spoken to him before. He couldn't help but complain:

"Attack Yecheng? Are you talking nonsense! Those people from Qingzhou, Qizhou, Mizhou, Laizhou, and Juzhou don't know what the situation of their families is now. Who has the heart to fight now?"

The young cavalryman was from Jeju. He put himself into the situation and immediately lost all thoughts of fighting. He only cared about the safety of his family and couldn't help but rejoiced:

"Fortunately, we didn't lose it in Jeju."

The old soldier was from Caozhou. He laughed and said:

"Do you think Jeju can still be saved? Let me ask you, who is causing the rebellion in Qingzhou now?"

The young cavalryman said without thinking:

"I heard it's Qin Ai from Licheng, so what's going on?"

Caozhou veteran reminded:

"He is the father of Qin Qiong, the former governor of Jeju! Now you know it!"

The young cavalryman was shocked and couldn't help but worry:

"According to what you say, Jeju is also in danger?!"

"Is it in danger? Ha! I'm afraid Cui Yangong has been surrendered long ago."

The Caozhou veteran changed his title.

The young cavalryman asked curiously:

"Why did you suddenly wake up Duke Yan? Didn't you call Cui Ni all the time before?"

Caozhou veteran became anxious and retorted:

"Don't talk nonsense. When did I call Cui Ni?"

Team Leader Shan, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke and said sternly to the young cavalryman:

"You'd better change your mind as soon as possible."

The young cavalryman was puzzled:

"Why do you say that?"

Team Leader Shan sighed:

"With the current situation, it will be difficult for Mr. Lai to escape.

"Now that Qingzhou, Qizhou and other places have fallen, the only escape route left is Zizhou. It was also separated from Qingzhou in the 16th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, so how could it be spared.

"Could it be that you think that there is no hidden secret for Duke Yan in Zizhou? I'm afraid that if Qin Ai seizes Qizhou, his next goal is to capture Zizhou and cut off our retreat."

The young cavalryman didn't understand why he didn't retreat quickly if he was in such a dangerous situation. He expressed his doubts and asked Team Leader Shan.

Team leader Shan smiled bitterly and said:

"How to retreat? There are more than three hundred miles from Yecheng to Zizhou. There are Yan people attacking from the side. We can't cover thirty miles in one day. By the time we retreat to Zizhou, I'm afraid the city will have been captured by Qin Ai. How can we return?

You can shout and open the city gate."

The old soldier and Team Leader Shan are from the same hometown of Caozhou. He said angrily:

"But now whether we fight or not, whether we retreat or not, let me take charge of what we want!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Team Leader Shan. Team Leader Shan was silent at first, but he couldn't help but asked, so he could only whisper:

"In my opinion, the manager is making a choice. I guess he wants to run away with us cavalry, but he can't make up his mind to abandon the infantry."

Everyone was convinced, and the young cavalryman admired him and said:

"Commander, you know so much."

The veteran smiled and said:

"Don't look at the fact that the leader is young, but his reputation is very loud in our Jiyin County. Ask anyone in Jiyin who doesn't recognize Shan Xiongxin."

As he spoke, he pointed to the horse in Shan Xiongxin’s hand and said:

"Look at Shan Gangchang's horse spear. He beats Caozhou with one long spear and has few opponents.

"Had it not been for the fact that the township regiment captain insisted on fighting with the gang leader, was knocked off his horse, and lost face, so he deliberately retaliated, otherwise he would have been reduced to a gang leader.

"With his ability, even a partial general or an admiral is more than enough."

It turns out that the gang leader named Shan is Shan Xiongxin, a native of Jiyin, Caozhou.

What Caozhou Veteran said was true, but Shan Xiongxin just shook his head and said:

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

After that, he stopped chatting with his brothers and focused on patrolling the night, leaving them noisy behind him.

Anyway, my group was an open whistle. If they were a covert whistle, they would have been ordered to be silent.

In fact, Shan Xiongxin only guessed half of what the future nurse wanted.

There are two options before Lai Hu'er. One is as Shan Xiongxin said, simply abandoning the infantry and getting away with only the cavalry. This is the safest approach.

The second option is to pretend to be a commander and lure Cui Che out of the city to attack. This approach will take great risks, but if we can really defeat the Yan army who left the city and capture Ye City immediately, all problems will be solved.

As for surrendering to Cui Che, this path was never within the scope of Lai Huer's consideration. He was regarded as a latent minister of the current emperor Yang Guang. He served under Yang Guang as the commander of the Chen Dynasty. In the end, with Yang Guang's promotion, from

A scout sat in his current high position.

But he also understood that he could not delay it any longer, otherwise he would not even have a chance to choose when Qin Qiong, Mai Tiezhang, Wang Dangwan and others came back to help.

Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Lai Huer finally made a decision and planned to take a risk. The entire army would pull out camp tomorrow and lure Cui Che to attack.

With Cui Junsu's reminder, Lai Huer only told his true purpose to the cronies he brought from Kansai, and kept it secret from the Kanto generals.

Because of those Kwantung generals, he really had no way of telling which ones were loyal to the imperial court and which ones were traps laid by Cui Che.

There is still one more chapter, but don't wait, because today is too busy, I may take a nap and post it before six o'clock in the morning.
