On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 387
The bright moon hangs in the sky, outside the camp of the Sui army, a group of sentry cavalry are patrolling to prevent the Yan army from attacking the camp.

After all, Cui Che is also an expert in robbing camps, and it's not Shi Wansui who came to protect the children, but he will still guard against Cui Che's coming and harassing at night.

The Sui army went out in units of teams, regiments, and armies, but under the centurion, it could actually be subdivided into groups of ten people.

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

A young cavalry suddenly said:
"Could it be that those Yanding people are really rebellious? Aren't they afraid of beheading!"

The gang leader glared at him and reprimanded him:
"The manager came to order earlier, you are not allowed to discuss this matter, forget it now!"

A veteran laughed from behind and said:
"There are too many people discussing this matter in the barracks. The general manager really wants to punish them one by one. How can he be so busy? Chief Shan, you have a lot of experience, or you can tell us all what is the matter? True or false."

Everyone echoed:

"That's right! Team Leader Shan, just tell us something."

The gang leader surnamed Shan saw this, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Although Manager Lai came forward to refute the rumors during the day, judging from Manager Lai's reaction, I'm afraid it's almost the same."

The young soldier asked curiously:
"What is the reaction of the general manager? Isn't it normal to refute rumors?"

Team leader Shan sighed inwardly, but he could only patiently explain:
"When we first came to Xiangzhou, in order to seize the city of Yecheng before the Yan people came back to help, the chief executive couldn't wait to get people to make siege equipment.

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

Hearing what the captain said, the young cavalry pawn complained:

"Then this city of Ye can't be fought anymore. I ran all the way from Jeju to Hebei, so it's hard to go back home like this!"

It was still the veteran who spoke to him earlier, and he couldn't help complaining:

"Attack Yecheng? Are you talking nonsense! The people from Qingzhou, Qizhou, Mizhou, Laizhou, and Juzhou don't know what's going on with their family members. Who cares about fighting now?"

The young cavalry pawn is from Jeju, and he put himself in it, and suddenly he lost the idea of ​​fighting. He only cared about the safety of his family, and he couldn't help but rejoice:
"Fortunately, we didn't lose Jeju."

The veteran is from Caozhou, he laughed and said:
"Do you think Jeju can survive? Let me ask you, who is causing the rebellion in Qingzhou?"

The young cavalry pawn said without thinking:
"I heard it's Qin Ai from Licheng, so what's the matter?"

Caozhou veteran reminded:
"He is the father of Qin Qiong, the former governor of Jeju! Now you know!"

The young cavalry pawn was startled and couldn't help worrying:
"According to you, Jeju is also in danger?!"

"Is it at stake? Oh! I'm afraid that Duke Cui Yang has already been surrendered by now."

The Caozhou veteran changed his name when he arrived.

The young cavalry pawn curiously said:
"Why did you suddenly wake up Duke Yan? Didn't you just call Cui Ni all the time?"

Caozhou veteran was in a hurry, he retorted:
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I call Cui Ni!"

The leader Shan who had been silent at the side suddenly spoke up, and said seriously to the young cavalry:

"You'd better change your mind earlier."

The young cavalry was puzzled:

"Why do you say that?"

The head of the team sighed:

"With the current situation, it may be difficult for the general manager to get out.

"Now that Qingzhou, Qizhou and other places have fallen, Zizhou is the only way to retreat. It was also separated from Qingzhou in the 16th year of Kaihuang, so how can it be spared.

"Could it be that you think that Zizhou has no dark son of Duke Yan, and I'm afraid Qin Ai will take Qizhou, and the next goal is to take Zizhou and cut off our retreat."

The young cavalry pawn didn't understand, since the situation was so dangerous, why didn't he retreat quickly, he expressed his doubts and asked the commander Shan.

The head of the team smiled bitterly and said:

"How to retreat? There is more than 300 miles from Yecheng to Zizhou, and there are people from Yan who are harassing from the side. We can't walk thirty miles a day. When we retreat to Zizhou, I am afraid that the city has already been taken by Qin Ai. How can we do it? Call to open the city gate."

The veteran and the head of the gang are from the same village in Caozhou, he said angrily:

"But now you fight and don't fight, and you don't retreat, come and see what you want!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chief Shan, who was silent at first, but couldn't help asking questions, so he said in a low voice:
"In my opinion, the manager is making a choice. I guess he wants to run with us cavalry, but he can't make up his mind to abandon the infantry."

Everyone was convinced, and the young cavalry pawn admired:

"Boss, you know a lot."

The veteran smiled and said:

"Don't think the boss is young, but his reputation is very loud in our Jiyin County. Go ask, is there anyone in Jiyin who doesn't recognize Shan Xiongxin."

As he spoke, he pointed to Ma Li in Shan Xiongxin's hand and said:

"I saw the horse lance of the head of the gang, he has beaten all over Caozhou with a long lance, and there are few opponents.

"If it wasn't for the captain of the township regiment who insisted on fighting against the leader of the gang, he was knocked off the horse two or three times, hurt his face, and then deliberately retaliated, otherwise he would not be reduced to a gang leader.

"With his ability, even partial generals and sub-generals are more than enough."

It turned out that the gang leader surnamed Shan was Shan Xiongxin from Jiyin, Caozhou.

What the Caozhou veteran said was the truth, but Shan Xiongxin just shook his head and said:
"Don't listen to his nonsense."

After finishing speaking, he stopped gossiping with the brothers and focused on watching the night, letting them chatter behind.

Anyway, my group is a clear whistle, if it was a dark whistle, they would have been ordered to silence them long ago.

In fact, Shan Xiongxin only guessed half of Future Hu'er's mind correctly.

There are two paths before Lai Huer. One is, as Shan Xiongxin said, simply abandon the infantry and get out with only the cavalry. This is the safest way.

The second is to pretend to be a class teacher and lure Cui Che out of the city to attack. This approach will take a great risk, but if he can really defeat the Yan army who has left the city, and then seize Yecheng, all problems will be solved easily.

As for surrendering Cui Che, this path has never been within the scope of Lai Huer's consideration. He is regarded as the minister of the late emperor Yang Guang. A scout, sitting in the current high position.

It's just that he also understands that he can't procrastinate any longer, otherwise, when Qin Qiong, Mai Tiezhang, Wang Dangwan and others return to help one after another, he will not even have the chance to choose.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Lai Hu'er finally made a decision, planning to take a risk and pull out the entire army tomorrow to lure Cui Che to attack.

Cui Junsu reminded that Lai Huer only told the cronies he brought from Kansai about his real purpose, but kept it secret from the generals in Kanto.

Because of those Kwantung generals, he really couldn't tell which ones were loyal to the imperial court and which ones were the secret agents that Cui Che had planted long ago.
