Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 119 Undercurrent
Outside the large tribes in the east, inside the camp of the Huns.A soldier ran to the tent of the Chinese army in a panic, and when he saw the general on the right, he bowed and saluted: "General Qi, the virtuous king was defeated and captured. The enemy's 20 troops are coming to kill here."

"Come here, this person is an enemy spy who dares to destroy our army's morale, immediately drag it down and ask to be executed."General Hun You was startled and reacted immediately.All the generals in the tent are there, and the soldiers who reported such a report must be killed and the news must be tightly sealed in order to preserve morale.

When the soldiers outside the tent heard the military order, they immediately walked in and dragged the uniform of the soldier who reported the message out without any explanation.

"Everything said by the general and the villain is true. The general...".The soldier who reported the letter was pale and could only beg bitterly.But he didn't know that every time he uttered a word, General You's face became gloomy.

The soldiers who reported the message were dragged farther and farther away, and their voices became weaker and weaker.Immediately after there was a scream from outside, the general on the right looked straight, and looked around the general in the tent: "The wise king leads an army of 20, how could he be defeated when he attacked an enemy army of [-]? It is really abominable for this person to disturb the morale of the army. Everyone, go back to your camp and conduct a thorough investigation. If any soldier spreads such remarks in private, he will be executed immediately."

"Lead the order".All the generals stood up from their seats one after another, and bowed to the right general to take orders.Then turned around and filed out.

After the general on the right saw the generals go out, a trace of worry appeared on his face.Don't look at the righteousness of what he just said, in fact, how can he not know the truth of the military situation.There were 15 troops stationed in the tribe before, and 20 enemy troops behind.There is no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside.He was also in the midst of two enemy armies, so there was nothing he could do. How can the 35 enemy troops be underestimated.

Just when General You was worried, footsteps came.A civil servant lifted up the tent and entered.

Just as General You was about to straighten his face, he found out that it was his old friend who came in, and then he smiled bitterly: "How much food and grass are there for our army in Yushan?"

"There is not much left, even if we only eat one meal a day, it will not last ten days."Xu Bu Yushan looked to the right general and explained slowly.

The general on the right moved his lips, but finally he couldn't hold back: "You know that the virtuous king is defeated, and there are 20 enemy troops galloping behind our army."

"There were 15 enemy troops before, and 20 later. Ask a question that shouldn't be asked, can our 15 soldiers and horses still hold?".Xu Bu Yushan asked back.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it."

"Our army only eats one meal a day for half a month. The soldiers have complained for a long time. Do you think they will continue to defend?"

"So I beheaded the soldier who reported the message and sealed the news tightly."

"As long as the enemy's 20 soldiers and horses arrive, the blockade of news is just a joke."

"I don't know, there is no food and no reinforcements outside, and I am surrounded by 35 troops. The only thing our department can do at this time is to die for our family."

"Shanyu governs the royal court, King Zuoxian governs Ding Ling, and King Youxian governs the central grassland. All the families of our soldiers are in the central grassland, and they have already fallen into the enemy's hands. The reason why the soldiers have no complaints at this time is that they think the enemy army Very weak. As long as the Youxian King's army is dispatched, the central grassland will return to our family again. But once they know, the enemy army was not defeated. Instead, our Xianwang was captured. Guess they are in the current situation what will happen".

The general on the right closed his eyes slightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength for a long time: "The only thing I can do is die."

"May you do well for yourself".Xu Bu Yushan bowed to the right general, turned around and walked outside the tent.

The soldiers outside the tent lined up to receive a little bit of mutton and a piece of horse leg. A Hun soldier carefully held the mutton and ran to a general, flattering his face: "General, this is today's food."

"Eat, eat, eat, I actually slaughtered all my war horses just to eat."The general looked annoyed at the horse's leg, grabbed the horse's leg and threw it on the ground.

Several soldiers secretly swallowed their saliva. The aroma of the food overcame the fear of the general, and the soldiers immediately rushed to the horse's legs.

The general was furious and slapped the soldiers a few times. The soldiers were so upset that they didn't care if the general pulled the meat from the horse's leg and put it in their mouths.

Anger spread from his heart, the general drew his sword, and several soldiers fell in a pool of blood.The cold tone came from the general's mouth: "Eat the general's war horse, and death is not a pity."

"General, general...".The soldier who handed the food just now looked at the change in front of him, stuttered and couldn't speak in surprise.

The general sneered and looked at the soldier: "You and the general will go there together."

"Follow orders".Seeing the general put his sword back into its scabbard, the soldier hurriedly followed him to the front.

The general turned around and walked into a tent, where more than a dozen people dressed as generals were all sitting on seats.The general looked around the tent and complained to them: "I'm still wondering why General You suddenly summoned us to discuss matters. It turned out that he wanted us to go so that we could slaughter our horses and provide extra meals for the soldiers. ".

Hearing the general's complaints, all the generals nodded one after another, and the voices of complaints and discussions suddenly sounded.

"Slaughtering our war horses, I didn't expect the shortage of food to reach such a point."

“Grain? What is Grain?”.

"Cows, sheep, horses".

"Horses? Does that mean our war horses should also be food?"A general was full of indignation and questioned the tent loudly.

The generals in the tent looked at each other and sighed silently in their hearts.

"The right general is the direct descendant of the virtuous king. He is not only the chief general appointed by the virtuous king himself, but also directly holds [-] soldiers and horses. The power is stronger than others, and we can only endure it."

The general shook his head, thinking of the scene in the big tent of the Chinese army, a sneer emerged from the corner of his mouth: "I don't know if the soldier who was asked to be beheaded by the right general just now is true."

"20 enemy troops? It's unbelievable that King Youxian can be captured."A general retorted.Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen military generals discussed one after another.

"If this matter is false, why is General You so eager to kill?".

"You don't want to die, discuss this matter here. If people outside hear it, we will all be questioned and killed."

"Cut? Who can he beheaded by his right general, and who is he planning to use to supervise the beheading?"

"I can only eat one meal a day for half a month. The soldiers have already complained. I don't care what you think. If the news is true, I will be the first to surrender when the enemy comes."

"But we...".

"Don't forget that our wives and children are all in the hands of the enemy. Even if you don't surrender, do you think the soldiers below will agree?".

"Don't be reckless. After all, the right general still has [-] soldiers and horses. If our matter is revealed, it will definitely bring disaster. So even if this is true, we will surrender together if we want to surrender."

"Surrender together? You mean to surrender together with the right general, which is impossible. With the character of the right general, it is impossible to surrender."

"No? What if it's a military remonstrance?"

The word "remonstrance" sounded like a thunderbolt in my mind.The military general in the tent looked at the general dumbfounded.

The general explained to them: "If this is true, King Youxian has already been captured, and I will wait for military advice. You can dare to do this."

"willing".All the generals stood up from their seats, bowed to the general, and admitted that he was the leader in this matter.

The general was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of the assembly horn.Surprised, he quickly looked at the general in the tent.They exchanged glances with each other, and then filed out of the tent.
