"General Yuchi, General Duanmu is back!"
At the Beiyu camp on the front line, Yuchi Ding, who was on night patrol, heard this sentence. He was surprised and happy, and hurriedly ran to the camp gate.
From a distance, he suddenly saw his fourth brother's lost look. You know, among the five good men in Hebei, the fourth brother Duan Muchou is the one who cares about clothes the most and has always been known as a handsome young man.
But the person in front of him was clearly no more than a beggar in distress, with half a black bun in his hand.
"Brother!" Duanmu Chou shouted sadly when he saw the person in front of him.
"Fourth brother!" Yu Chiding's chest felt sore.
"Fourth brother!!" The other two Hebei Wuliangs also walked up hurriedly.
After being comforted, Yu Chiding looked around, but did not find the figure of his third brother Wu Zhen.
"Fourth brother, where is your third brother? Could it be..."
"Three brothers! Third brother... Third brother died in the battle!" Duan Muchou covered his face and burst into tears. "This time when I left the camp, I found something wrong. I didn't intend to pursue it further. I wanted to persuade Third Brother first. Go back to the camp and think of a way. But the third brother said that he must help me avenge... Wuwu, I couldn't persuade you at the moment, so I had to lead people to follow, not wanting to fall into an ambush by the Shu people."
Yuchi closed his eyes in pain.
"Fourth brother, what happened next?"
"After being ambushed, the snow melted and my horse power was blocked, so I couldn't leave for a while. I advised the third brother to avoid the Shu people's sharp edges first, and then find a way to retreat at night... But for some reason, the third brother didn't accept it. , insisting on killing the Shu people. Originally... I also wanted to work with my third brother to kill a few more Shu thieves to support me. But later, I accidentally got a secret report from the Shu people, so I sent the information back first with a guilty conscience. "
Duan Muchou raised his head and cried with tears streaming down his face.
"Since I, Duan Muchou, have sent the information, I will die immediately and follow my third brother."
As he said that, Duanmuchu grabbed a soldier's long sword, took it out of its sheath, and with a somewhat slow movement, he was about to cut his neck——
"Fourth brother is confused!" Yu Chiding was shocked and hurriedly stopped him and threw his long knife on the ground.
"Three brothers, I can't protect the third brother, how can I have the face to live in this world!"
"Fourth brother, don't be anxious. I'll report it to the military advisor right now. You go with me." Yu Chiding comforted him and spoke while holding back the sadness in his heart.
Hebei Wuliang, the same Qi connects the branches. But now, before the war begins, a third child has been killed.
Next to him, Xie Yu and Lao Wulianghu all tried to comfort Duanmu Qiu.
Not long after, the four of them got the message and carefully walked towards the main tent.
In the main tent, Chang Sheng, who was wearing a big cloak, raised his head silently, listened to Yu Chiding's words, and then looked at Duan Muchou in front of him.
"Little military counselor, that's it...please punish me, little military counselor! If you didn't want to bring back information, I would have to die to apologize!"
Chang Sheng's face was expressionless. He could even guess that a person of Duan Muchou's temper might be suspected of confusing right and wrong. However, as long as the information is correct, it is considered a meritorious service.
"You mean, I overheard the Shu general's conversation."
"Exactly, the general was chasing him at that time. I hid behind the stone and got closer to hear clearly. The intelligence said that several hidden spies were caught in Dawan Pass, and they finally forced out Beiyu. Plan. I listened carefully, these Western Shu generals said they would be tortured when they returned."
"What kind of punishment?" Chang Sheng frowned.
"Flash with fire and water."
Chang Sheng was silent for a while and looked at Duan Muchou in front of him. A pair of eyes became deeper.
His craftsman was not in Dayuan Pass, but was a woman. And the punishment of whipping with fire and water requires one to be naked. A woman, even if she is a criminal, will never use such unethical punishment... In other words, this is clearly a temptation for a lame man, and a lame man cannot do it at all. Know. It's nothing more than trying to confuse his plan through Duan Muchou.
"Do you believe it yourself?" Chang Sheng's voice suddenly became angry.
"Let me ask you, do you believe such a clumsy rebellion? If I always win and fall into the trap, the army of Beiyu will suffer a big defeat thanks to you! Duanmu Qiu, you are so big Courage!"
Seeing Chang Sheng's appearance, Duan Muchou was frightened.
"Little Military Advisor... My fourth brother is still young and fled all the way, so he accidentally fell into the Shu people's plan... Please forgive me, Little Military Advisor."
Beside them, Yu Chiding and three others knelt down and kept helping Duan Muchou beg for mercy.
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped." Chang Sheng's voice was cold, "Duanmu Qiu, there are still some things that you can't hide from me. Remember, if there is another round, I will not forgive you! Yan Pi, drag him out of the tent. , hit with thirty army sticks!”
"Little strategist, I, I know I was wrong...little strategist!"
Ignoring the cry for mercy, Chang Sheng waved his hand a little tiredly. What made him even more angry than false information was that Duanmu hated this person and distorted certain facts. If everyone in the Beiyu Camp was like this, how could we talk about the friendship between Paoze and Ze?
Due to the reputation of Hebei Wuliang, it was difficult for him to expose it for a while.
"Yu Chiding, you should also leave."
"Thank you, little military advisor."
Yu Chiding and the other three sighed one after another. Knowing that they could no longer persuade them, they had no choice but to withdraw from the tent.
Chang Sheng sat on the chair with his head lowered, looking at the candlelight in front of him, thinking of the information Duan Muchou brought back, and fell into deep thought without realizing it.
…
Not far away in Dayuan Pass, there was also another great military advisor, meditating in the night. The sudden evening wind caused his robe to flutter.
"Dongfang Military Advisor, if such information reaches Chang Sheng's ears, wouldn't it make him more cautious?" Chen Zhong, who was beside him, was confused for a moment.
"Be cautious or not, Chang Sheng always has that temperament. Moreover, the information I asked Duanmu Qiu to bring back was deliberately done by me. The female spy was outside Dawan Pass, I prefer to say she was inside Dawan Pass. Furthermore, she is Woman, I just revealed the "fire and water whipping" method of incestuous women. In this way, Chang Sheng will only be more sure that it is me, Dongfang Jing, who is testing me. I don't know that there is a woman who is doing this carefully and deliberately defrauding him. Sometimes. , doing the opposite will have unexpected effects.”
"Chang Sheng is a smart man. If you want to beat him, you need to grasp every detail."
In the night wind, Dongfang Jing let out a sigh of relief.
"It won't be long before he takes action. This huge Dayuan Pass will comply with his wishes and allow him to coordinate internally and externally. And I, Xishu, will use the oriole's method of catching cicadas after laying it out layer by layer. Get rid of this strange army from Northern Chongqing."
Chen Zhong was still a little confused. When he was guarding Liangzhou alone, he even felt that he was very smart and a planner... But now he found that the level of his own military advisor and the little military advisor in Beiyu was different from his own. Simply out of reach.
"Chen Zhong, it doesn't matter, you go and prepare. The first battle of spring is about to come."
