The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1455 False Scout

"What's the news from General Liu, tell me in detail." Xuan Shijing asked directly after entering the tent.

"Back to Xuangong, after General Liu led people there, he tried to save them in the dark, but was discovered by the other party, and the two sides fought." The scout said.

"What was the result?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"When the subordinates left, the battle was still stalemate," said the scout.

"Do you know how many people the other party has?"

"The environment is too dark. Even if the two sides are fighting and lighting torches, it is difficult to estimate how many people there are at once," said the scout.

"Trash!" Xuan Shijing scolded, "Wait outside."

"Yes." The scout responded.

Xuan Shijing got out of the camp and called the deputy commander of the navy over.

"At the end, I will see Duke Xuan."

"Excuse me, hurry up and order five hundred soldiers. You personally lead someone and let him lead the way to meet General Liu." Xuan Shijing said: "Remember to be careful, no matter what, you must bring General Liu back, understand? "

"Yes." The deputy commander looked at Xuan Shijing's face, but saw the subtle expression on Xuan Shijing's face, nodded and agreed.

Xuan Shijing turned around and glanced at the scout standing at the door of the tent.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and go with the deputy commander."

The scout nodded, and followed the deputy commander in a daze.

Seeing the scout leaving, Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes. Soon, 500 people left the camp, led by the scout, to join Liu Renyuan.

"Great and always happy!" Xuan Shijing stood at the door of the tent and drank.

"Subordinates are here."

"Leave 200 people in the camp to guard the camp, set up horse traps around the camp, and the rest, fully armed, leave the camp with me." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The two answered.

I have been with Xuan Shijing for so long, and I have also been on the battlefield. Naturally, I have a bit of eyesight. After entering the camp, the performance of the scout was really abnormal. Xuan Shijing asked him how many people there were on the other side , He said that it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, even if he lit a torch, it was difficult to estimate clearly in a short time.

He couldn't even figure out the details of the other party, what did he do when he came back?

If Liu Renyuan's people really start to stick with each other, when the fire lights up, he can figure out how many people there are in the other party, and then send people back to deliver letters. This is not difficult for Liu Renyuan.

So from Xuan Shijing's point of view, there must be something wrong with this scout. Although he is wearing the clothes of a navy officer, it looks the same at first glance, but when he thinks about it carefully, there are too many flaws in the scout.

As for where the clothes on the scout came from, I can figure it out after thinking about it. The scout came back and said that three of the navy's people were caught by the residents of the island. Liu Renyuan also took people out of the camp to save people. Pulled off from the captured sailors, he pretended to be a scout and came to the camp to spread false news, trying to divide the sailors.

The idea is good, and the thoughts and actions are bold enough, but in a hurry, this kind of strategy is too crude and simple.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sailors and soldiers in the camp had already assembled. Except for those who stayed in the camp with serious symptoms of acclimatization, there were two hundred elites who stayed in the camp to guard the camp. He personally took the rest of the people and went after the 500 people.

If something really happened to Liu Renyuan, he would definitely not let such a scout come to report it. No news is the best news now, so Xuan Shijing on Liu Renyuan's side doesn't need to worry. Instead, the 500 who just left with that scout People are what Xuan Shijing should really worry about. The 500 people are also Xuan Shijing's temptation. Let the scout take them. A large group of people surrounded them, and no one could escape.

The lieutenant general who had left earlier should have been alerted by Xuan Shijing's signal. 500 people is not a small number. There will always be traces on the road. There are veterans in the army. It is not a big deal to follow the traces all the way. Difficult thing.

After tossing until the middle of the night, as Xuan Shijing guessed, the scout was a counterfeit, leading the 500 people to a valley, but after reaching the valley entrance, the lieutenant refused to take them with him. People go inside again.

"You said, General Liu and the others are in the valley?" the lieutenant asked, looking at the scouts beside him.

"Exactly, General Liu is already at a disadvantage in fighting those people on the island in the valley. If there is no rescue, I'm afraid it will be a disaster." The scout said.

The lieutenant general took a breath and said: "This general led 1000 people, and even fought with those troublesome people in the valley. There are only 500 people behind this general. Even if he entered the valley, it would be nothing more than moths to the flame. "

"General, this." The scout was stunned, he didn't expect that the matter was coming to an end, and the deputy general hesitated.

"The cliffs on both sides are lofty and steep. They are good places to ambush. Brothers, go up the mountain with me. At this time, we will be condescending, and the victory is certain." The lieutenant general said.

"Yes!" The soldiers behind him responded one after another.

The deputy general felt that there was something wrong with the scout leading the way beside him. On the way, he thought that before leaving, Xuangong seemed to have something to say to him, but he was just hinting at himself. Thinking about it now, it must be There is a problem with this scout, and Xuangong wants to let him lead him back.

But the scout led the way, but stopped here. There was a valley in front of him, and the lieutenant was also a man who had experienced many battles. How could he not see that there was a trap ahead?

The scout beside him kept urging him to lead people into the valley, saying that he was going to rescue General Liu, but in fact, General Liu was not in the valley at all, this was just a trick to lure them into and annihilate them.

General Liu led 1000 people. Even if the number was not as good as the opponent, he was still ambushed by the opponent. There must be some movement. This night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, except for the noises made by the 500 people, there is a little fighting There was no movement of shouting or drinking.

It's really playing with people like fools.

"Come on!" the deputy commander called out.

"The end is here." The two stepped forward and clapped their hands together.

"First tie up this scout, gag his mouth, and keep him alive, and bring him back to Duke Xuan for interrogation," said the deputy commander.

"Yes!" After the two men responded, one on the left and one on the right, they crossed the man and tied him tightly with a rope.

"General, what do you mean by this, why do you want to tie up the small ones, you"

"Shut up!" the deputy commander yelled in a low voice, "Why are you being arrested? Hehe, don't you have a clue in your own mind? Take it down!"
