Xiaoguangong

Chapter 139 Unreasonable

"It really makes no sense!"

Back at Xu Huang's military tent, Le Jin was furious, imitating Xia Houdun, kicking and cursing, trying his best to vent his monstrous anger.

He hadn't been so humiliated in a long time.

Xiahoudun didn't care about Le Jin's face at all, and dared to humiliate him like this, how could Le Jin endure it?
He was very angry, angry but helpless, and could only vent in Xu Huang's camp.

"If it weren't for being frank, today's affairs would really not be good." Xu Huang's face was cold, and he sighed, "Xiahoudun already knew about our soldiers, and our supplies will be greatly reduced after that, so we should first think about how to explain it to our subordinates. .”

"Explain? As long as there is less, I will immediately lead people around Xiahou Dun!"

"Do you dare?" Xu Huang sneered, "Stop talking useless words, I am going to recruit some bandits and refugees, so we can talk later."

Le Jin sneered and said: "I am the governor of the army, and I am responsible for all the crimes. No matter whether I win or lose this battle, I will be charged with a crime later. I want to sit in Jingzhou in the future... I'm afraid it won't happen!"

"Jingzhou can't live without a general!" Guan Ping opened the army account and entered. Le Jin and Xu Huang hurried up to meet him. Seeing that he was soaked in heavy rain, Le Jin quickly asked someone to get a brazier to keep him warm.

"How?" The two asked anxiously.

Guan Ping smiled and told Xiahoudun about Cao Hong one by one. Le Jin and Xu Huang were overjoyed when they heard the words.

"Okay, why didn't we think of it before? This bastard, Cao Hong, has been corrupt for many years, and he has run amok with the favor of the prime minister.

Hmph, Xiahou Dun dared to do this to me, but he didn't dare to attack Cao Hong, how can we be convinced? "

These two generals are battle-tested people, and if they encounter a powerful enemy, they will not lose their composure as they do today.Things like eating empty pay and reselling military supplies can be big or small. Xiahou Dun held the charges against the two. If they attacked them severely, Le Jin and Xu Huang might have something to hold them in their hands. He didn't want to let the foreign surname guard one side alone. If Xiahou Dun didn't let him go, Le Jin would basically lose the chance to guard one side alone.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

"Hey, what I do is routine. What others do, why can't I do it? I just don't agree with it.

If I hadn't made peace with him frankly today, I would have argued with him. Le Qi said with a bulging voice, unwilling to show his fear of Xiahou Dun in front of Yunshan.

But his previous caution had completely exposed his fear, so it was obviously impossible to expect him to make things difficult for Xiahou Dun.

Fortunately, Guan Ping has another method.

"I thought hard for a long time before, but I came up with an idea. But General Le's idea must be better than mine, so forget it."

"Don't, don't!" Le Jin hurriedly said, "Tell me, I don't want to tear myself apart with Xiahou Dun."

Xu Huang sneered and tensed his face, waiting intently for Guan Ping's idea.

Guan Ping said in a low voice:
"General, please tell the truth and humble, how long can our army rations last?"

Le Jin said:
"It lasts seven or eight months. If Jiangling is rescued, it will last more than three months."

Xu Huang said:
"Our army's rations can last for a year and a half, but there are too few arrows. If we attack Jiangling, it may not be enough."

"What do those two generals think, what will happen to Xiahou Dun in the future?"

"Hmph," Le Jin's face was filled with displeasure again, "I think he would not dare to give up on the two young masters. He must have paid attention to sorting out my troops this time and letting me wait to send them out."

Xu Huang also deeply agrees:
"Yes, our army suffered heavy losses in the war last year. Before Hefei was besieged, there were not many reinforcements.

On the contrary, Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, has recently put down the thieves one after another. Last year, he defeated Zhang Chi and captured [-] of them. "

Le Jin didn't want Cao Ren to stay in Jiangling for a long time, but if Li Tong saved the siege, his previous achievements would be nothing. Wouldn't it be a joke for him and Xu Huang to work hard for a long time.

Le Jin solemnly said:
"Someone has three strategies, the upper, the middle, and the lower, and I ask the two generals to break them down one by one.

The worst policy is that our army will wait and see the changes and wait for General Xiahou to dispatch.

In the middle strategy, our army quickly replenished its troops, and when the reinforcements arrived, they went south together to attack Sun Liu.

The best strategy is, before the reinforcements arrive, I will go south quickly to persuade General Cao Ren to give up Jiangling and retreat quickly, and then I will pick up the two sons again. At that time, with the great achievements of the two generals, General Xiahou will have nothing to say. "

Le Jin and Xu Huang would not dare to attack Guan Yu by water, but now the Jingzhou thieves have remained calm under the comfort of Guan Ping and Ma Liang, and the conditions for going by land are very mature.

Before Le Jin was only worried that after the reinforcements left, Cao Ren would be stuck in Jiangling instead, and would have to be ordered by him, so he didn't bother to save him.

"How do you force Zixiao to give up Jiangling?" Now Le Jin simply didn't hide it, and said it directly in front of Xu Huang.

Guan Ping said:
"I heard that General Xu and Guan Yunchang are having an affair, this matter..."

Xu Huang frowned and said angrily:

"Frankly, what nonsense are you talking about! So what if I have an old relationship with Yun Chang? Do you want me to betray my brothers and sisters in the army?

Say one more thing, be careful that I am ruthless under the knife! "

Le Jin sneered and said:
"Hey, you are so talented, why didn't you get angry in front of Xiahoudun just now? Gongming, Gongming, you are here to help the Han family, Le Jin admires you.

But I'm just happy to eat and make my brothers rich.

Frankly, just say it, let me see who dares to kill you! "

Guan Ping turned his attention to Xu Huang again, only to see that Xu Huang's face was livid, and he was obviously experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.

After a long time, he finally sighed.

"Okay, let me hear what you want first!"

·
On the second day, Le Jin and Xu Huang went to Xiahoudun's army to plead guilty and confessed their crimes.

The two said that in the past six months, they had eaten too much empty pay and resold military supplies, and they were very disturbed.Now that the general has arrived, they are all willing to risk their lives to send troops to attack Jiangling and break the siege of Jiangling.

Le Jin and Xu Huang also said that their rations were very sufficient, and even showed Xiahou Dun their rations in stock and the actual number of soldiers.

Both of them were veteran generals, and their planning for the battle was far superior to Xiahou Dun's. They quickly described their plan to rescue Cao Ren from the road.

And these two people didn't hide their motives - the enemies on the road south of Xiangyang were all fought hard by them, and they were unwilling to let others take the credit, so they had to hurry forward and fight the enemy in Jiangling.

Xiahou Dun took an inventory of the food in the treasury, and finally felt a little satisfied.

Before, he felt that Le Jin and Xu Huang did not work hard, and Sun Liu did not have an army of [-]. Their strength and food storage were higher than that of the enemy, and they kept sending military reports to Cao Cao asking for support in a big battle. , there must be fraud.

Xiahoudun knew that the current situation in the north was not suitable for a decisive battle with Sun Liu, in case Jingzhou became a huge wound and Cao Jun continued to lose blood.Cao Cao was embarrassed to say that he would give up Jiangling, so Xiahou Dun made a decision for him. With Zhou Yu's combat effectiveness shown before, as long as Li Tong's support army arrived and Cao Ren quickly broke through, the war in Jingzhou would have been resolved long ago.

Now that he was acting as if he was not in a hurry, the two of them must have guessed that Xiahou Dun had transferred troops from elsewhere. They were afraid that others would take the credit for their previous efforts, so they could only dispatch troops quickly.

Solve it quickly.

Xiahou Dun was very upset.

Both Le Jin and Xu Huang are more than loyal and brave, but they are really not suitable to sit on one side. Only the Cao family and Xiahou's family are suitable to lead the side.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun nodded slightly, and decided to speak directly.

"To be honest, I have dispatched Wen Da to lead the army.

If there is any inconvenience for the two of you, there is no need to do so. "

Le Jin hurriedly said:
"General, please calm down, all the mistakes made before are all wrong, please also temporarily calm down the anger of Thunder, give, give me a chance to serve.

I will definitely defeat Zhou Yu before Wenda arrives! "

Xiahou Dun was very satisfied with Le Jin's statement.

He breathed a sigh of relief, sat back slowly, and sighed:
"Okay, you send troops in three days, everything depends on how you use them."

Putting an outsider in the already struggling army will definitely make them vigilant and eager to express themselves.

Xiahoudun has been in the army for many years, and he also understands this, Le Jin smiled bitterly, bowed his head and obeyed, and took out another piece of plain silk from his bosom.

"what is this?"

"This is... this is the various tribes of the barbarians under the humble rule."

Xiahou Dun took a cursory glance and couldn't help being surprised:

"You give them food?"

Le Jin kowtowed and said:
"Yes."

"Why?"

"The general doesn't know that Jingxiang is full of barbarians, and there are too many people who don't accept Wang Hua.

These barbarians only seek favors and don't know how to educate them. They used to be our enemies frequently. I saw that it is not good for a large army to suppress bandits, so I used this method to falsely report some military rations and donate them to the barbarians in the mountains.The humble expedition, this matter of benefiting the barbarians, please be more careful.

These barbarians have been favored, so they will obey the big man and wait for me..."

"Ridiculous!" Xiahou Dun was furious, and the veins on his forehead burst out, "Le Jin, you are so ignorant!"

Before Le Jin falsely reported military supplies, Xiahou Dun had tolerated it as a routine, but Ke Lejin actually delivered military rations to the barbarians in the mountains, how could Xiahou Dun bear it?
"Why are the barbarians in the mountains? Could it be that they like to live in wild places full of mosquitoes? Hmph, isn't it because they are afraid of the might of the great man Tianwei and cannot occupy this world of flowers and flowers? You are so lucky to give these barbarians food and money!

The barbarians got the favor, and even tasted the sweetness. From then on, they would ask for it day by day, month by month, and rebel if they were not satisfied.

Absolutely no such thing!No! "

He threw the plain silk directly into the fire, and said with a sneer:

"Fight well, everything here is up to me to decide."

Le Jin was terrified, but there was an imperceptible smile on his face.

"With the general around, the humble can rest assured! Naturally rest assured!"
