Chapter 72 Qiao Chufeng felt like a fool

"General Li, don't get excited. They didn't succeed. Fortunately, I led the Huo family army. Five hundred Huo family soldiers killed five thousand barbarian soldiers and captured the Hu dog thieves alive." "

This time, the Huo family army has made great contributions, and Huo Yu has also made a lot of efforts. This time, they must be awarded first-class merit."

Qiao Chuanbai comforted the irritable General Li, and at the same time did not forget the merits of the soldiers.

No one had any objection to awarding the soldiers first-class merit.

Capturing the dog alive is a first-class merit, not to mention killing 5,000 enemies.

This has long exceeded the first-class merit.

"No matter what, it was General Qiao's resourcefulness, bravery and decisiveness that allowed him to capture Hu Gouzi."

"Yes, yes, it was General Qiao's resourcefulness."

Although Qiao Chuanbai talked about luck and did not try to take credit for the victory, but gave all the credit to his subordinates, the people present knew that if it were not for Qiao Chuanbai, Hu Gouzi would not have been captured alive.

If they had fought more with Hu Gouzi, no one would have gotten any benefit from him.

If they had done the same thing, they might not have been able to keep Hu Gouzi alive.

Finally, it was General Huo who spoke, and all the soldiers who participated in this battle were credited with military merit, even the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass.

It was the first time that the fire army had made military merit.

As a logistics officer, the fire corps usually only do jobs like cooking, which are not dangerous.

Unlike other soldiers, they have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and if they are not careful, they will stay on the battlefield forever.

On weekdays, the fire corps not only have no status,

but are also looked down upon by other soldiers.

But today's battle

has changed the status of the fire corps.

The soldiers rushed to ask about the process of the battle.

The fire corps did not hide anything and recounted their experience of fighting with the Huo Family Army.

The Huo Family Army is an elite force that never appears on weekdays, and even their training is done alone.

They have seen the Huo Family Army training, and the intensity is beyond their reach.

The soldiers present all knew how powerful the Huo Family Army was, and no one questioned its strength, but none of them had ever been on the battlefield with the Huo Family Army.

Now, when they heard the stories of the firemen who were escorting the grain, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

They even felt a little regretful.

If they had known that the firemen could fight with the Huo Family Army, they should have joined the firemen.

In the barracks, the whole barracks was in an uproar because they captured a general from the opposite side alive and killed 5,000 of the enemy's men. They

were even more convinced of the young general Qiao Chuanbai.

Qiao Chuanbai was not only brave and resourceful, but also solved the food problem.

After he came back, he asked Huo Yu to meet Huo Hongye.

Not long after Qiao Chuanbai came back, Huo Hongye arrived at the camp with food and grass.

This time,

not only did they kill the enemy's prestige, but they also solved the food problem that everyone was most concerned about.

The morale of the entire military camp was high, and the soldiers walked with high spirits.

Not long after Qiao Chufeng came back, he saw Huo Hongye leading people to escort food and grass.

Only then did he know that

when he was in the capital,

the emperor had already collected food and grass, and asked Huo Hongye to escort the food and grass by water in advance.

The shipbuilding matters were all supervised by Qiao Chushan himself.

When Qiao Chufeng heard the news, he couldn't hold back his anger and crushed the jade pendant in his hand.

He didn't expect that the person who hid all this from him was Qiao Chushan.

He had always looked down on that elder brother who he thought had no brains at all.

But this time, he was treated like a fool.

He had to lead the soldiers through mountains and rivers to transport food.

In the end, he only brought back dozens of carts of sand after all the hard work. He

also caused General Hu to be captured and the deal failed.

Qiao Chufeng felt that he was simply a joke. It was all his fault.

He trusted Qiao Chushan too much

. In the past, Qiao Chushan clearly didn't have such a mind. He clearly trusted him so much and never doubted his words. But he did so many things in the dark.

Thinking of this, Qiao Chufeng wanted to tear Qiao Chushan into pieces.

This time he was careless and fell into trouble. Next time, he would not be soft-hearted.

Qiao Chufeng almost pissed himself off.

But those firebrands flattered him blindly, which made him so angry that he wanted to kill those people.

But on the surface, he had to accept all those compliments with a smile.

In just half a day, Qiao Chufeng fell ill.

Qiao Chufeng returned to the camp account on the grounds of being tired, and finally he didn't have to listen to those compliments.

When his confidant saw him return to the camp account, he also quietly left.

When the two people entered the camp account, the confidant immediately told them what had happened recently.

Qiao Chufeng listened for a long time and didn't find a single useful word.

He suspected that Qiao Chuanbai had begun to suspect him.

Even the people around him.

Otherwise.

Why did Qiao Chuanbai use the excuse of surveying the terrain to go out?

Qiao Chufeng would not believe that Qiao Chuanbai's taking the Huo family army to the Cliff Valley was really an accident.

But if it was not an accident?

Did Qiao Chuanbai get the news in advance?

Qiao Chufeng racked his brains.

But he had no idea where he had revealed his flaws.

In the past, he had always been successful in everything he did, but this time when he returned to Beijing, he was not smooth at all.

The eldest brother was also different from before.

What happened later was beyond his expectation.

Qiao Chufeng felt a little uneasy in his heart!

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Now that General Hu was captured, General Hu knew best about the deal between him and General Hu.

He had to find a way to stabilize General Hu and not let him tell about the deal.

He had to meet General Hu and explain the misunderstanding.

At night,

the barracks were completely cleaned up.

Qiao Chufeng came out of the tent.

He came alone without his men and went straight to the place where General Hu was imprisoned.

General Hu was indeed a barbarian general. Now that he was captured, the place where he was imprisoned was heavily guarded.

Not to mention that it was impossible for someone to sneak in, even if a bug crawled in, these guards would be able to find it.

Qiao Chufeng had guessed this a long time ago, so he was not surprised.

He knew that it was very risky for him to meet General Hu this time, and it might arouse Qiao Chuanbai's suspicion.

But if he didn't go in, and the matter was exposed, he would have no way out.

Qiao Chufeng walked forward and the soldiers stopped him.

"Commander Qiao, what's the matter?"

Qiao Chufeng's expression was cold: "This Hu dog thief killed so many of our brothers, I'm going to go in and see him."

The soldier was a little hesitant.

After all, Qiao Chufeng's face was cold, and it seemed that he hated Hu Gouzi with a clenched tooth. If they let someone in, what would happen if something happened?

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. He is a general of the Barbarians after all, and he must know a lot of the Barbarians' secrets. He needs to be kept for interrogation. I'm just going in to take a look."

Qiao Chufeng emphasized the last few words.

The soldiers all knew the relationship between Qiao Chufeng and Qiao Chuanbai, so they didn't say anything more and let the man in.
