Chapter 120: Spreading Rumors
Gan Ning led his troops to retreat. Xiahou Dun was afraid of fraud and did not dare to chase him forward, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.
Although the battle was not great, it finally won one game, and the morale of Cao's army rebounded. No matter how strong the Wuling army was, they would be defeated?
The soldiers regained their courage, and Xiahou Dun and Li Dian were both very happy. They lost two consecutive games before, even if the Cao army was elite, they would inevitably have negative emotions.
"Military advisor, the last general has completed the mission!"
Gan Ning, who led his troops back to the camp, Shi Zhongyu and others came to report to Xu Shu.
"General Gan and General Shi, please sit down!"
Seeing that the two of them were depressed, Xu Shu asked them to sit down and then asked:
"It's just a fraud, why are the two generals like this?"
"Military advisor, to be honest, if Liu Bei was willing to fight, we could completely defeat Cao's army. Why did the Jingzhou soldiers stop moving?"
Gan Ning asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
The Jingzhou army held its troops unmoved? That's not the case. Now Liu Bei has spread rumors about his disagreement with Xu Shu in the city. Since it was during the war, spies were inevitably involved in the city! The rumors were for them to hear. This was also the result of Xu Shu and Liu Bei's joint discussion!
"Oh, the Wuling Army is kind enough to save us, why can't General Liu tolerate it?"
"Yes, yes, if the barbarians of the Wuling Army go crazy, our Bowang County will be in trouble!"
"Who said no? If you want to say that this Wuling barbarian is too rude, he wants to take over General Liu's command as soon as he arrives. Not to mention General Liu, I wouldn't agree!"
"Oh, aren't these barbarians going out to camp in anger now? I heard that they only have enough food and grass for two days. General Liu is not going to distribute food and grass for them."
"What are you waiting for? Go back and hide the food! What if the savage comes to rob him, what will we eat?"
...
...
The spies of Cao's army mixed in the crowd and listened to the people's words.
"What? Liu Bei and Xu Shu are not in harmony? How is it possible?"
Xiahou Dun thought he had received fake news and said loudly, frightening the spy who risked his life to report the news from Bowang County to death.
"General, every sentence of his subordinate is true! The reason for the two people's disagreement is that the Wuling Army wanted to control Bowang County as soon as it arrived, but was opposed by Liu Bei. So he left the city to camp! And..."
"And what? Say it quickly!"
Xiahou Dun was almost dying of anxiety, and this was still slow.
"Yes, General!"
The spy swallowed and continued:
"And the Wuling Army only has two days of food and grass left. Liu Bei has already ordered that he will not provide food and grass to the Wuling Army."
"What else have you found out?"
"No general!"
"Go down!"
After sending the spy who came back to report the message, Xiahou Dun looked at Li Dian beside him. He wanted to hear Li Dian's opinion.
"What would happen if the Wuling military food and grass are not enough?"
Seeing Xiahou Dun looking at him, Li Dian knew what to say.
"Of course it's a robbery! That's what Wu Shun did back then!"
Back then, Wu Shun was short of food and robbed it directly! Now the Wuling Army is facing the problem of food shortage, and Xiahou Dun first thought of the tradition of the Wuling Army!
"If you rob us, will you rob us or Liu Bei?"
Li Dian asked again.
"I'm afraid they will die if they can kill us! Only those 20,000 people will come if they dare to come and they will never come back!"
Xiahou Dun was very domineering, and he could not defeat Zhang Xiong when he fought one-on-one. However, when the two armies fought, thousands of troops were in chaos, and their personal bravery would greatly reduce the role they played! No matter how brave Zhang Xiong was at that time, he could not make up for the shortcomings of the insufficient number of Wuling soldiers!
"If you can't steal us, you will go and have a fight with Liu Bei. Let's wait and see the show! I heard that the Wuling army brought out by Wu Shun was rebellious one by one, so I want to see how rebellious it can be!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After Li Dian finished analyzing, he looked at Xiahou Dun and laughed, as if victory was right in front of him.
After knowing the situation of the Wuling Army, Xiahou Dun ordered to guard the camp and to hang a high-level battle card in the face of the Wuling Army! The purpose is to make the Wuling Army in chaos without fighting and fight with the Jingzhou Army led by Liu Bei, so that they can reap the benefits!
Two days later, the Wuling Army stopped fighting. After the spies' information, Xiahou Dun knew that the friction between the Wuling Army and the Jingzhou Army was getting worse and worse. I heard that there were small-scale martial arts fights, but they were suppressed by Liu Bei.
The Wuling Army is not the one who is afraid of trouble. The stronger Liu Bei suppresses it, the more powerful it will rebound! Xiahou Dun can't wait.
"Report to the general, a fire broke out in the Wuling Army camp, and the sound of killing shocked the sky. The Jingzhou Army and the Wuling Army fought. Zhang Xiong of the Wuling Army had killed more than ten generals of the Jingzhou Army in a row, and are now fighting fiercely with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!"
"Okay! Go and call General Li!"
"Don't call me, I'm here. Yuan Rang, will there be a fraud? I always feel something is wrong!"
Xiahou Dun was about to ask someone to call Li Dian to discuss, but Li Dian came by himself. And as Li Dian said that he was a little worried about the Wuling Army's fraud!
"Zhang Xiong's rough man has killed more than ten generals of Liu Bei in a row, and the Wuling Army camp was also ignited by the Jingzhou Army. They have fought, what's wrong with this?"
Xiahou Dun's analysis was also reasonable. Wuling's army was short of food and Liu Bei refused to give it to him. The conflict deepened and the two armies fought fiercely! Zhang Xiong was extremely brave and killed more than ten people on the other side in a row. This contradiction was irreconcilable.
"That's right, but I always feel like we're missing something!"
Li Dian was still worried and still felt a little uneasy.
"Mancheng, you lead 20,000 people to stay. I will take the rest of the troops to see it! Great opportunity, you can't miss it!"
If the Wuling Army and Liu Bei really fought and Cao Army did not move, it would be a waste of opportunity. Xiahou Dun obviously would not let this happen.
"It's good, Yuan Rang Duojia is careful. If the situation is wrong, retreat immediately!"
In this way, Xiahou Dun led the remaining 30,000 troops to the Wuling Army Camp.
Before Cao's army arrived, they could hear the sound of war drums in front of them, and the sound of killing was shocking! When we approached me, we could clearly see that the two armies were fighting to the death. The White Tiger Legion had the advantage in combat power, but unfortunately there were few people, so we could not break through the formation of the Jingzhou Army. The two formations were there to tug at each other.
The soldiers kept falling down, screaming and neighing at horses gathered into the music that Xiahou Dun wanted to hear the most. They really started fighting, what a wonderful sound!
Xiahou Dun remembered Li Dian's explanation and did not launch a rash attack. Cao's army stood quietly aside, watching the two armies fighting for life and death!
On the chaotic battlefield, Xiahou Dun found Zhang Xiong's figure. At this time, Zhang Xiong was crazy, fighting against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Only when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces could he barely fight with Zhang Xiong. It can be seen how powerful Zhang Xiong is when he becomes crazy! Three weapons frequently attack each other, and no one dares to step in within ten feet of the battle group!
I don’t know what kind of enemies the Wuling Army and the Jingzhou Army have made. When I saw the common enemy coming, I was still fighting and had no intention of stopping!
"Soldiers, it's time to be appointed as a marquis and a general! Follow me to kill all the enemies in front of me!"
Chapter completed!
