Agents of the Three Kingdoms

In June, the sky is full of golden crows and the sun is scorching.

It was noon, and the sun made people feel flustered.The leaves on both sides of the road are wilting, but the chirping of the cicadas on the branches is connected together, getting louder and louder, which makes people feel even more irritable.

On the official road, the army has been marching rapidly.

This army was impressively led by Chun Yuqiong.He led his troops out of the city and had traveled fifteen li, which was still fifteen li away from the camp of Wang Lei's army.

The weather was hot, and the soldiers were already exhausted after rushing on the road.

However, Chunyuqiong was anxious to win and ordered the soldiers to continue on their way.

For this battle, Chunyu Qiong had 3000 soldiers under his command, which were composed of troops from various counties, and each county gathered [-] soldiers.According to Chun Yuqiong's thinking, he didn't need many troops, only [-] troops would be enough.Chunyuqiong's idea was to take only [-] soldiers under Cai Jin, the county magistrate of Yuancheng County, to fight.

However, as soon as his proposal was made, it was immediately strongly opposed by Cai Jin. No matter how Chunyu Qiong tried to persuade him, Cai Jin refused to agree.

In desperation, Chunyu Qiong asked Cai Jin for his opinion.

Cai Jin immediately put forward a suggestion that each county should collect [-] soldiers, which would be considered fair.The chief generals of the counties simply agreed to Cai Jin's proposal, thinking that as long as they didn't fight, otherwise the plan would be ruined by Cai Jin's recklessness.

In this way, Chunyu Qiong took four thousand soldiers to fight.

But the four thousand soldiers and Chun Yuqiong's original intention were far apart. According to Chun Yuqiong's idea, only three thousand soldiers in Yuancheng County were led. same situation.But the [-] soldiers he is now leading are four forces, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of order and prohibition.

The four armies had different leading generals, which caused Chunyu Qiong a great headache.

"Report!"

A general ran over, cupped his fists and said, "General, it's already noon, the weather is hot, and the soldiers are listless after a long journey. Let's take a rest before leaving. After all, we are traveling under the sun. If things go on like this, the morale of the army will definitely be low when they arrive outside Wang Lei's big army camp, and it will be easy for people to take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

His name was Yan Xiong, and he was a school lieutenant sent by the Lord General of Qingyuan County.

The sound of horseshoes came, and another general came running.

This man's name is Shen Xu, and he is the captain of the army in Guantao County.He rode to Chunyu Qiong's side, cupped his fists and said, "General, the soldiers under my command can't bear to run around and have already fainted. The soldiers are too tired to continue on their way. Please order the general to rest and let the soldiers take a breath."

Immediately afterwards, the school lieutenant from Ping'en County came again and asked for a temporary stop.

This time, Chunyu Qiong couldn't handle it.

Chunyuqiong rolled his eyes and said, "Rest here. There is no water source nearby, and there is no shelter from the sun. Why don't you keep going, and look for water sources and shade while driving. Once we find a place with water sources, we will go on the spot." Rest, let the soldiers enjoy the coolness by the water, and it is convenient to replenish the water source, what do you think?"

At this moment, Chunyu Qiong felt that he was very smart.

When he said this, he actually wanted the soldiers to make another journey.According to the news sent back by the sentry, there is no place to replenish the water source within a radius of five miles, so at least another five miles must be advanced.

Shen Xu's face burst into a smile, and he said immediately: "General, go two miles further, and there is a lotus pond not far from the official road. There are willow trees and patches of open space, just right for a lunch break."

brush! !

Chunyu Qiong's face darkened in an instant, why didn't he find out the news?

At this moment, Chunyu Qiong wanted to tear up the sentry.

His mother's scout is so incompetent!

Chunyuqiong had already spoken, and it was impossible to take it back, nodded and said: "Okay, let's move forward immediately and rest by the lotus pond two miles ahead."

Shen Xu and Yan Xiong looked at each other with excitement on their faces.

It's finally time to rest!

The army hurried on their way, heading towards the lotus pond two miles ahead.

……

Three miles to the southwest of the lotus pond, there is a peach grove.

Plenty of peach trees are full of fruits, but it is not the season to eat peaches, so you can only feast your eyes.In the dense peach forest, under the peach trees, soldiers sat on the ground to enjoy the shade.

These soldiers were all wearing the uniforms of the Jizhou Army and were soldiers under Guo Jia's command.

There are about a thousand people in this army, led by a school lieutenant.

"Report!"

A sentry ran over and reported respectfully: "My lord, Chun Yuqiong led the army to deviate from the original official road and headed northeast to the lotus pond three miles away from us. There is a wide willow forest over there, and Being close to the lotus pond, Chunyuqiong must have wanted to take a rest when he did this. I think this is an opportunity for us to attack the other party, please consider it."

The captain pondered for a while, and ordered decisively: "Do it, this is our chance! We were ordered by the military division to intercept Chunyu Qiong here. When Chunyu Qiong came, let's do him first."

After a pause, the captain said again: "Immediately send someone to inform the military division that I am going to attack Chunyu Qiong. If the other party is prepared, I will act according to the plan formulated by the military division; if Chunyu Qiong is not prepared, I will take the opportunity to defeat Chunyu Qiong in one fell swoop. "

"Yes!"

The sentry sent a message immediately, and the lieutenant sent an order to let the soldiers start to move.

……

The lotus pond is very wide, about thirty feet long and ten feet wide. There are green lotus leaves in the wide lotus pond, which can't be seen at a glance.The lotus flowers in full bloom stand gracefully, which is really beautiful.

Chunyu Qiong arrived at the edge of the lotus pond with the soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The breeze blows, with a hint of lotus fragrance, refreshing.

Chunyu Qiong asked the soldiers under his command to rest. After all, he was a veteran in the battlefield, and he would not let the soldiers ignore him.

Chunyuqiong called the captains from Yuancheng County, Qinghe County, Ping'en County, and Guantao County to his side, and ordered the four to select some soldiers to be on guard.The soldiers in each county are responsible for half an hour of guard, and the army rests here for two hours, and then moves on after resting. "

The heads of the four counties had no objections, and quickly arranged the order and arranged their respective soldiers to be on guard.

Chunyuqiong was still worried, so he patrolled frequently.

After making sure that the soldiers were vigilant, Chunyu Qiong came to the lotus pond and sat down to rest under the willow tree.

At this time, some soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, took off their shoes, and sat on the bank of the lotus pond to soak their feet.Even some courageous soldiers simply took off their clothes in twos and twos, and jumped directly into the lotus pond to take a bath.

The soldiers were having fun, but Chunyu Qiong frowned. He immediately got up and stopped the soldiers and let them go ashore.

All the soldiers who went down to the lotus pond to take a bath were punished.

The school lieutenants of the counties wanted to persuade them, but Chunyu Qiong was the leader of the army, and Chunyu Qiong was someone whom their leaders respected, let alone small schools like them in the army, so the school lieutenants of the counties had no choice but to hold back their hearts. Dissatisfied, continue to rest.
