Chapter 382 Grandpa is Here
Wen Renjing frowned and said calmly, "I naturally know that they will not be able to stay still, so I will wait and see what happens."
He had learned a lot about the young general Yuan Yao and could be said to be very familiar with his character.
Using "ordinary people" as sacrifices, if nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Yao will either lead his troops to fight or surrender after weighing the pros and cons.
Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns and complications.
The one who would come up with this idea must be Su Jiuni or Bai Yu.
"Send a letter to the nearest government office in the prefecture and continue to secretly transport the death row prisoners here." Putting his thoughts aside for the time being, Wen Renjing gave the order and spurred his horse into action.
Feiyun replied yes.
Those "ordinary people" who were just used to sacrifice the knife were all disguised death row prisoners who were brought from various government offices before coming here.
It's just a trick.
No matter how cruel the prince is, he will not attack ordinary people at will, otherwise his reputation and word of mouth would have collapsed long ago.
Doing so will only hurt your own feathers.
On the other side, after Duan Dao returned to the camp, he immediately called Tian Bao, Bai Yu and other children into the tent and talked with them for two hours before coming out.
Afterwards, he continued to do what he was doing as if nothing had happened, and no matter how Lu Nengzengshun and Lu Leshan coaxed him, he didn't reveal a single word.
A day passed.
Two days passed.
On the third day, many soldiers of Yuan's army could no longer hold back.
That day, Deputy General Lu gave the soldiers three days to give an explanation. The soldiers heard it and believed that the general must have other plans and would not really hand over a few new recruits in exchange for safety.
But there is no movement for a long time, which is really frustrating.
Everyone was so worried that they couldn't concentrate during training and even couldn't enjoy their meals.
Until nightfall.
Several figures left the camp silently.
When Lu Leshan and the patrol soldiers passed by the commander-in-chief's tent, they did not see a bonfire in front of the tent. He was immediately happy, and the heart that had been tense for two days suddenly relaxed.
"Everyone, patrol well! Once we've dealt with the Beixiang Army, we'll ask the general for a few jars of good wine! Let's drink to our heart's content!"
"Boss, what's wrong? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
"So you guys are soldiers, and I'm the boss, hahaha! Don't ask too much, I'm on duty!"
"yes!"
Lu Leshan was not the only one who noticed that the tents here had not been familiar with the campfire for many days.
Lu Neng was the first to discover it. After the horn was sounded and he returned to the camp, he secretly kept an eye on several new recruits. He knew exactly when they left.
Lieutenant General Lu was not one to hold his composure. He pulled out half a jar of wine he had hidden away in his quarters and rushed straight to the general. "General, would you like some wine? Old Lu's private collection of aged wine! Come, smell it. Does it smell good? Are you tempted? Take a couple of sips? ... It's only half a jar. General, you can't drink it for nothing. Can you tell me something? Where have those kids been? Hey, General, just say a few words! Just one word! Okay? Otherwise, I really won't be able to sleep tonight. If a fight breaks out tomorrow and Old Lu gets distracted, it could be fatal!"
Duan Dao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He grabbed half a jar of wine and drank it by himself.
Lieutenant General Lu was kicked away by him.
That night, the generals and officers in the army learned from Lu Neng's bitter complaint that the general was a bandit and stole his wine.
Chai Fang sat in the kitchen with a group of little followers, slapping his thighs and gloating, "How dare you hide it? You really deserve to be robbed!"
…
The temperature gradually rises after the beginning of spring, but it is still chilly at night and makes people shiver.
Twenty miles north of the border line is a flat slope. There is a waterfall pool in the nearby forest, which is convenient for the Beixiang Army to camp and get water.
It can be used for drinking by people and also for providing water to war horses.
After nightfall, bonfires could be seen everywhere in the military camp. Soldiers sat around the bonfires, drinking and singing, making it very lively.
There are guards patrolling all around the camp and the security is extremely strict.
In the waterfall forest, several figures hid in the high earth pits and lay dormant quietly. They poked their heads out under the cover of night and stared at the scene over there motionlessly.
"Their soldiers can actually make bonfires to keep warm! They even have wine to drink! The King of Mobei treats his troops really well!" Wheat Ear gritted his teeth and spoke through clenched teeth.
Compared with the Beixiang Army, the conditions of the Yuan family army are far worse.
gas!
Su An was knowledgeable about this. "The treatment of the Beixiang army is indeed good, which is evident from this. Therefore, Beixiang is a big country, while Daiyue is only a medium-sized country."
Su Wu was shocked. "According to what you said, wouldn't the treatment of the barracks of small countries be even worse, even worse than that of Yuan's army?"
"Otherwise, how can there be a saying that a country is rich and its people are strong, and a strong country has a strong army? The army is the spear of the country, and the country is the shield of the army." The pit was pitch black, and it was difficult to recognize faces because everyone was huddled together, but there was only one person who spoke in such a literary and sour tone.
The old man hated hearing scholars talk nonsense. He slapped Su Wen on the head, not daring to use too much force, lest the noise be too loud and attract the guards on the other side. "No matter what kind of spear or shield he has, if he makes me unhappy, there's no point in arguing!"
"Sister, when are we going to start?" Bing'er clenched her fingers nervously. Before she started to move, she was already rehearsing in her mind how she could avoid being a drag and even help.
My sister said that she would be able to participate in the fun in the future, so even though her kung fu was the worst, my sister never left her.
Bing'er knows.
Tian Bao looked at that direction quietly, and said in a low and clear voice, "No hurry, wait for Wang Bai to come back."
Bai Yu leaned over quietly and said, "Tianbao, please keep an eye on me. My injuries may look better, but I'm still injured internally."
The old man and the girl punched him each.
The person being beaten didn't dare to scream, but just suppressed the pain in his stomach.
A few heartless people nearby covered their mouths and laughed silently.
A muffled bang sounded from behind the pit.
The muffled laughter stopped immediately, and several people turned around at the same time. In the dim light of the forest, they could barely see a head emerging from the pit.
The laughter that had just stopped couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
"If it were any other person, they would be scared to death. Wang Bai, why do you always appear like this?" Hahahaha!
"It doesn't matter if your guts are frightened out, as long as your soul isn't frightened out, that's good! Wang Bai, how's it going? Did you find out?"
"Wenren Jing is very cunning, he must have hidden the food and fodder very well! If you find out, it will be a great achievement!"
Wang Bai couldn't speak. He just tilted his head quietly and waited until the various sounds on his forehead disappeared again before he pulled a hand out of the pit and spread out his palm.
There is a handful of rice in the palm of my hand.
Tian Bao curled the corners of his lips and rubbed Wang Bai's head with his hand. "Well done. Lead the way. It's time to get started."
When she withdrew her hand, another hand reached out and rubbed Wang Bai's head like a spinning top. Bai Yu raised his lip and said, "Well done. You and Tian Bao will come together later, and the rest of us will go to attract the fire."
Wheatear immediately whipped out a small whip and said excitedly, "Let's do it!"
The next moment, nine figures rushed out and split into two groups halfway to the Beixiang military camp.
Wang Bai and Tian Bao turned in another direction and sneaked away hiding their tracks.
Bai Yu took the lead, and the old man Du took the lead as well. They started laughing before they even arrived.
"Dogecoins, I heard you came here specifically to see Grandpa? Grandpa is here! Hehehehe!"
