Generals, look at me, and I'll look at you.
At this critical moment, no one dares to make hasty remarks on this matter.
The news is related to the life and death of the entire army. No one knows what will happen if they do something.
"Now that things have reached this point, what else can't you say?"
Shuhu Siji was anxious: "Everyone is usually eloquent, why can't he say a word now?"
A group of people were still silent.
Shuhu Siji became even more anxious and directly named Tang Kuobulin to speak.
Tang Kuobulin was helpless.
"Commander of the Army, our army has no other way to go now. Without food, it is a dead end for any army. No matter how much looting is done, it is impossible to obtain the food needed by the 30,000 army in a short time, and food There are more places, but they are in Feixian County and are guarded by bandits."
"Then attack Fei County?"
"There are only three days of food in the army. It will be difficult to capture Fei County within three days. Once the food is exhausted and the entire army collapses, it will be out of control."
An officer explained the problem honestly.
Shuhu Siji slapped his thigh and said "Ouch" with an annoyed look on his face.
After a long time, he sighed - "Is it God's destiny for me to die here?"
Shuhusiji gave in, and the other officers were like deflated rubber balls. One or two of them were so weak and paralyzed on the ground, doing nothing. They didn't know what to do.
They are all experts at eating, drinking and having fun. In critical moments, they need to solve difficult problems. They are like high-level paraplegic Alzheimer's patients.
Only Tang Kuobulin did not want to accept his fate.
Everyone has the desire to survive, Shuhusiji has it, officers have it, and Tang Kuobulin naturally has it too.
Tang Kuobulin knew very well that if Shuhusiji surrendered here, the army would soon learn that the retreat was cut off, and there would be chaos. Everyone would go their separate ways to survive. By then, it would be difficult to leave the military camp safely.
But he wants to live, really wants to live!
so what should I do now?
After much thought, Tang Kuobulin put forward his own suggestion.
"The only way to survive right now is to leave the military camp before chaos breaks out in the military camp."
"What?"
The officers, including Shuhu Siji, were shocked.
"Is there any way to survive after leaving the military camp?"
"Of course, staying in the military camp is a dead end. Many people saw the messengers when they came back, and many people saw them when they were pushed out and beheaded. Although the commander of the army issued a silence order, there is no guarantee that there will be no Word gets out.
If this news spreads, even to just one person, it will cause instability in the morale of the army. Once the soldiers mutiny, it may even cause the camp to roar. By then, we will not be able to leave even if we want to, and it will be difficult to save our lives, and the rest will be even more difficult. Stop it, isn't it? "
Tang Kuobulin said with a nervous face: "I can't do anything else. I can't take Fei County, I can't take back the grain and grass camp, there's nothing I can do! The only way for me to survive is to take this opportunity to leave. Military camp!”
Everyone present was silent. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all looked at Shuhu Siji.
"After leaving the military camp, where else can we go? Hebei? Guanzhong? Or Liaodong?"
Shuhusiji was helpless.
For the first time in many years, he felt that everything was far away from him, and something that was firmly in his hands was suddenly lost.
Of course, this does not prevent him from thinking about the escape routes proposed by others. It is better to say that because of the promotion of his desire to survive, his brain, which has not been used much for many years, has an opportunity to rotate quickly.
He immediately found the loophole in Tang Kuobulin's plan.
Escaped, where to go?
"Escape from here, the army will inevitably collapse, and the entire Shandong will inevitably overturn. At that time, we will be the sinners of the Great Jin Kingdom. Sinners, you know! There is nowhere to live in the end of the world, and we will definitely die! Instead of dying like that, it would be better Just die in the military camp!"
Shuhu Siji looked sad, with tears streaming down his face, and seemed to have lost the desire to live.
The other generals also felt hopeless and felt that this failure was their end, and there was no way to save their lives.
Tang Kuobulin doesn't think so.
"As long as you're alive, everything is possible. If you can still bring an army, there's a lot to be done! We can't sit still and wait for death!"
But his persuasion had no effect.
Shuhu Siji wiped away his tears and spoke.
"If you want to live, don't you think about your family and tribe? If you die in battle, the emperor may not punish your family and tribe. If you escape and survive, the emperor will certainly punish your family and tribe. You can escape alone." Happy, where are they?"
This persuaded Tang Kuobulin.
He thought of his family and his tribe.
His family is very glorious. Although he is not a very important person in the family, he is still a member of the family. If he survives, his family will be smeared.
In the brutal power struggle under Wan Yanliang's rule, his existence would only give others leverage and put the family in danger.
My legs were weak, my body was weak, and I felt like everything was gone.
While a group of senior officers were melancholy in the military tent, for some reason, the news that the rear grain and grass camp had been destroyed by the bandits spread like wildfire in the military camp, causing the entire Jin Army camp to become chaotic.
Originally, they were ready to attack the camp of the Liberation Army, but suddenly such rumors appeared, which frightened them.
As the saying goes, the three armies move forward before food and grass are used. The key to fighting a march is logistics. If there is a problem with logistics, why fight?
The Jurchen soldiers, including middle-level officers, were all anxious and anxious to ask for an explanation from the senior officers.
They were very excited and flocked to the location of the Chinese army's tent in large numbers, and soon caused quite a bit of trouble.
Then the news broke that the grain and grass camp was attacked and everyone's retreat was cut off.
The entire military camp was instantly in chaos.
At this critical moment, the civilian husbands and soldiers who were least willing to fight launched their own traditional arts.
run!
If you don't run now, how can you wait?
Every day they are used as cannon fodder to carry obstacles on the battlefield. They are beaten and scolded if their hands and feet are a little slow. A lot of people die on the battlefield. Now that they finally have a chance to escape, why not run?
They had no sense of honor as members of the Jin Army. They had accumulated some wealth during this period, and they thought they could go home, so they packed up their belongings and whatever rations they could find, picked up their bags and ran away.
Originally, the military camp had a relatively tight protection system, which would not allow deserters to succeed so easily, but now the soldiers responsible for maintaining this system are beginning to think about escaping.
Some people were worried that they would not be able to escape, so they cunningly started to set fires. As they ran, they started to set fires, shouting at the top of their lungs such words as "our army is defeated" and "the bandit army is coming", which attracted some onlookers who did not know the truth. Encouraged.
Everyone runs away together.
Anyway, most of them are Han soldiers and civilian husbands, and they have little sense of loyalty and responsibility. They hope that the Jin army will cause trouble as soon as possible so that they can escape successfully.
Originally, the fire would not be a big deal if he could react quickly, but in this case, it was impossible for Jin Jun to react quickly.
As a result, the fire spread rapidly, and more and more people were shouting something like "The bandits are coming" and running away desperately.
What the commander-in-chief of the First Army was most worried about happened here.
Obviously without the intervention of any enemy troops, an army can be defeated by oneself, and one can even become one's own enemy.
After the wave of escapes appeared, more and more people were afraid of the fire and chaos. They ran away with weapons to protect themselves. When they ran into people who were also carrying weapons to protect themselves, they were frightened and slashed with their swords.
I don’t know if it’s an enemy, but for some reason I have to kill the other person in order to feel safe.
The two people who collided with each other roared and fought with red eyes, swinging their swords. Their posture was much more ferocious than fighting against the Liberation Army on the battlefield.
The Jin Army camp fell into complete chaos and was in a mess from top to bottom. Most of the people who fought out of the camp began to follow the flow to the west.
Some people ran to the west because their homes were there, while others didn't know why and just ran to the west.
And the Liberation Army just couldn't react to all this.
The Liberation Army did not attack.
