Chapter 334 Discover the secret
Li Qiong was so excited that for a moment he even had the idea of ​​assassination.

Although he and his father were in the enemy camp, his wife and children were not in Xiangyang for a long time. They had been sent to the rear before the war started. If he was not so favored, he would not be able to trust him with such a task.

If he can really take this opportunity to kill Guan Yu... wouldn't it be a great achievement and a great wealth? !
But soon, Li Qiong's excited heart quickly calmed down again.

For no other reason.

Just because it was Guan Yu... Guan Yu who took Yan Liang's head among the thousands of troops.

Taking the leader of an army is like picking out an object from a bag. Many people boast about this, but few have actually done it.

But Guan Yu did it, and the person he killed was not an unknown person, but the general Yan Liang.

Even if he is old now, it is estimated that killing him Li Qiong will not be much harder than killing a chicken...

"Oh, I am... Xiangyang City is strong... there is no..."

Guan Yu's voice was a little soft, and Li Qiong was so anxious that he didn't care that he was naked. He turned around and put his ear against the thatched wall, listening carefully to the sounds outside, for fear of missing a word.

"Is it too early to activate it at this time?"

They seemed to be talking about some secret, and their voices were lower than before. Fortunately, they seemed to be pacing towards themselves, so they could barely hear them.

Guan Yu pondered: "It's just that Cao Wei still has the main force on the north bank. If our army suffers too much loss in Xiangyang, and if Cao Pi wins a big victory on the eastern front and comes to support...then he will be passive."

"It is."

This voice sounds very familiar to Li Qiong. It seems to be the general who interrogated him. Being able to discuss such secrets with Guan Yu seems to be a low-level official position.

"Let's do it like this. Arrange the soldiers of each department to take turns to pretend to attack Xiangyang for three days. I think it will be enough to make the defenders of more than [-] people tired and sleepy until the third day..."

Guan Yu's voice paused for a moment, and Li Qiong, who was listening nervously, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his heart that had just calmed down began to beat again.

At the same time, a question couldn't help but pop up in his mind. Guan Yu's army had just arrived in Xiangyang. How could he know the strength of the troops in the city so well?
"On the third day, we all shouted in front of the battle line, 'Cao Wei, you rats, don't dare to come out!' and gave the signal to Yuan Zhong, the commander of Xiangyang, and ordered him to control the west gate after nightfall. Our troops ambush outside the city and kill him after he opens the city. Go into the city!"

Another person seemed a little worried: "General, is Yuan Zhong...reliable?"

"Hahaha." Guan Yu smiled as if he wasn't worried at all, "Although Yuan Zhong is favored by Manchu, he has no family background. How can he get ahead in Cao Wei? What your Majesty can give him, Cao Wei will not give it to him."

"Well..." Li Qiong was shocked and was about to scream, but quickly covered her mouth.

Fortunately, almost no sound came out, so he remained in this position without daring to move, cold sweat dripping down his face.

Is Lieutenant Yuan Du from the Shu Army? !

No way... Could it be that they are acting to deceive me?

Impossible, I obviously didn't show any clues, and if this was a lie, how could Guan Yu know the strength of the troops in Xiangyang City and the situation of Captain Yuan?
I heard that Yuan Zhong is indeed a man with far-reaching ambitions... I see.

In the past, some gossips in Xiangyang City flashed through Li Qiong's mind one by one, all of which seemed to confirm Yuan Zhong's identity as a traitor.

People only believe what they want to believe. Once they have a preconceived judgment, they often automatically extrapolate other things to prove that their judgment is right.

Li Qiong is like this now. He was a little skeptical about it at first, but now he became more and more convinced and started his own strategy.

Because only if this is true, can he make great achievements...

brush!
The curtain was suddenly pushed open.

"...What the hell are you doing?"

The scene displayed in front of the Han soldiers was really shocking.

Li Qiong's back was facing him, sticking her butt out, covering her mouth, and breathing heavily...

The key is that I forgot to put my pants up.

Facing the soldier's eyes that ranged from confusion to shock, from shock to contempt, Li Qiong flushed instantly and hurriedly pulled up his pants: "Master Jun misunderstood, I...I am..." "Okay, stop talking!" The soldier looked at him as if he were looking at the filthiest thing, "Hurry back when you're done! What bad luck!"

……

Even if he was misunderstood by the Han soldiers as having a special hobby, it did not have a big psychological impact on Li Qiong. After all, all he could think about now was how to escape.

Within three days, we must escape from the Han army camp no matter what and send this news back!
However, the Han army just detained them in the camp and neither sent them to the rear nor allowed them to do anything. He could not find any chance.

In the morning, I watched the main force of the Han army leave the camp to attack the city, and then returned to the camp one after another in the evening...

It was already noon the next day. If he couldn't run out today, this important news would probably just rot in his stomach.

But even if the main force of the Han army had left, he did not dare to forcefully escape.

A large camp with tens of thousands of people is not as simple as one or two tents. Every Han army left behind along the way has the ability to kill him easily. How could he sneak out of such a huge camp?

But just when Li Qiong was at his wits' end, a turning point suddenly came.

"There are not enough stones and bullets on the front line. Follow me up the mountain and collect pebbles!" Suddenly a Han soldier rushed in angrily, obviously not in a good mood. "Since we consider ourselves Han people, we should contribute at this time!"

Everyone didn't complain much about this, and it wasn't like they were asked to serve as cannon fodder on the front lines. It was very common for them to do some work.

Rather, it was the fact that they had done nothing in the past two days that surprised them even more.

Li Qiong was even more surprised. As long as he could leave the Han army camp and enter the mountains, he would definitely find an opportunity!

A group of Han soldiers escorted them into the mountain. After explaining what kind of stones they needed to find, everyone began to search everywhere under the supervision of the Han soldiers.

They were not the only ones in the mountains, there were other Han soldiers who seemed to have also been sent out to look for stones.

But Li Qiong saw that their number was not large. After all, the main force of the army was still attacking the city from the front.

Have the opportunity!
After searching seriously for a while, he held his stomach and found a soldier next to him: "Master, the civilians... the civilians are a little anxious."

This soldier was actually the one who had escorted him to the toilet before. With a look of contempt and disgust on his face, he waved his hand and said: "Go, go, stay away from me... don't do anything unnecessary."

The last instruction made Li Qiong dumbfounded, but the other party didn't follow because of this, which made him call it a fluke.

He didn't dare to walk too fast for fear of attracting attention, so he moved little by little to a place with thick vegetation and squatted down.

The Han soldiers did not seem to be too vigilant. No one thought that these people who voluntarily surrendered would escape, and "no one knew" that Li Qiong had heard such a big "secret."

With her heart in her throat, Li Qiong lay on the ground and crawled farther away, avoiding the direction of the Han soldiers.

"What took you so long? Are you... human again?!"

Li Qiong, who heard the cry from afar, immediately stood up and ran away!
"Here comes someone! Someone is running away! Chase him quickly!"

"It's not like he's an important prisoner. He just ran away. He just eats every day and doesn't work. He ran away to save us food. Why are you chasing him?"

Li Qiong didn't hear the other person's words at all. His ears were filled with the whistling wind and his own heartbeat like a drum.

After tripping over a tree root and falling into a gourd, he got up using his hands and feet and continued running, not daring to slow down at all.

Fortunately, as a local, he was very familiar with this mountain. He found a natural cave and hid in it. He folded some vegetation to cover the entrance of the cave and huddled in the depths...

He hid until it started to get dark, then he came out hungrily and continued to take a detour down the mountain, running towards Xiangyang City where the day's fighting had ended.

I finally made it down the mountain before it got completely dark...

"Hey——!" He excitedly ran towards the last batch of Wei Jun who had finished repairing the city wall and was about to return to the city. He shouted and waved, "I am Li Qiong, the official of Xiangyang Prefecture. Take me to see Lord Manchu. I have important military information!"
