Chapter 15 Find someone to die for
After the turmoil in the city was completely calmed down, the sky was gradually brightening.
Next, Lu Bolin gave Xiao Yuan another task to release the Central Plains slaves who were imprisoned by the Ghost Army.
This job was not very difficult. After receiving the order, Xiao Yuan immediately led a group of soldiers to go to the dungeons in the city.
Previously, the Ghost Army captured Yuecheng, and the Ghost Clan invaded and arrested most of the young men and women in the city, with a large number of people, especially the young women, who were collectively detained.
When Xiao Yuan found this place, the dungeons were all huddled in the corner, trembling girls.
Among them, there are wealthy daughters and ordinary women. They are all dressed in messy clothes and their eyes are filled with fear.
Many young women, many of them were not covered in their bodies, and their snow-white skin was exposed. Seeing this scene, some soldiers subconsciously swallowed their saliva and said to Xiao Yuan: "General..."
Now Xiao Yuan is a serious general, but his level is low. How could Xiao Yuan not understand the soldiers' eyes? He was just about to scold the soldiers, but Peng Shuang, who was walking with him, was already furious:
"What do you want to do! These women are all my compatriots!"
"Yes!" The soldier immediately lowered his head when he heard this.
"Release." Xiao Yuan directly ordered.
With his orders, the prison doors were opened by soldiers. After releasing these imprisoned compatriots, Peng Shuang also followed Xiao Yuan and couldn't help but say:
"The Ghost Army is really hateful. Invade my Central Plains and slaughter my compatriots. Look at those women, how should they live in the future."
"The Ghost Army is a foreign race, and it is inhumane. I have been here before and know their evil deeds better than you." Xiao Yuan said.
Peng Shuang couldn't help but sigh: "Although Yuecheng was recovered, the main force of the Ghost Army has not been destroyed, and it will not retreat for a day, and the Central Plains will be restless for a day."
As he spoke, he said again: "I don't know what Lu Shuai has next."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I think Liucheng is the most dangerous now."
"Liucheng?" Peng Shuang asked.
"That's right." Xiao Yuan explained: "For the Ghost Army, if they want to advance into the Central Plains, they must have a supply line. Now that Yuecheng has been recovered, they must occupy a city to serve as a springboard.
If I invade again, if I were the commander of the Ghost Army, I would definitely not attack Yuecheng again, but would choose Liucheng, because at this time, Liucheng had no troops."
After hearing this, Peng Shuang opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but say, "Then..."
Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly and said, "I know what you mean, but we are both low-level generals. Even if we are talking to the Central Army, we can't get in, and no one will listen to us."
He believed that the main force of the Ghost Army would turn to attack Liucheng, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, Lu Bolin was also discussing the matter with his subordinates.
Inside the Yuecheng Council Hall.
There was a military map hanging on the wall behind the case. In the hall, a group of side generals gathered. After looking around for a week, Lu Bolin also pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed to the map behind him.
"Please look, this is Yuecheng, and this is Liucheng. These two places are both the frontiers of our Central Plains. For the Ghost Army, it can also be used as a supply line behind them."
As he said that, he said again: "I have fought with the Ghost Army for so long. Based on past experience, I think that the Ghost Army will abandon Yuecheng this time and attack Liucheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slanting person who was about to clasp his fists and say something, but Lu Bolin waved his hand and interrupted him, and continued:
"Our army has a total strength of 100,000, and the main force of the Ghost Army should be similar to ours. If we return to Liucheng now, we will be completely passive. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the Ghost Army's opportunity to attack Liucheng.
, Let's go straight to Huanglong and attack the rear of the Ghost Army!"
"What Lu Shuai means is, let's give up Liucheng?" asked a sideways.
"No, what I mean is that you can send a general to station in Liucheng to attract the main force of the enemy and create opportunities for our army." Lu Bolin said.
Having said that, he already understood the meaning very well, that is, he wanted to send one person as cannon fodder to defend Liucheng. What's important is that if the main force of the Ghost Army really turns to attack Liucheng, then this small army stationed in the garrison will probably fight all the battles.
die.
All the generals understood this principle. After they finished speaking, people looked at each other and there was no sound for a while.
"Who wants to go?" Lu Bolin looked around again.
But the generals remained silent because if this was the case, it was obvious that they were going to die. No one could easily talk to each other. People looked at the people next to them, and then silently lowered their heads.
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Lu Bolin frowned and was about to say something, but at this moment, a soldier walked in quickly, then knelt on one knee, bowed and said, "Report to Lu Shuai, Xiao Yuan is asking for a meeting."
.”
Hearing this, Lu Bolin raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could say anything, he was already arguing:
"Ship Lu, Xiao Yuan, was a soldier before, but he had captured Yuecheng with five hundred soldiers. Since he was so good at fighting, he would rather give it to him to the last general's mission to station in Liucheng.
Bar."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others began to echo: "Yes, Lu Shuai, let Xiao Yuan go, it's perfect..."
It can be seen from this that these generals in the army were all very afraid of death, otherwise they would not have been able to have lost Yuecheng so easily before.
After hearing this, Lu Bolin also felt a sense of emotion.
To be honest, Xiao Yuan was just a bachelor, not Lu Bolin's confidant. He did not value Xiao Yuan very much. If he went to Liucheng, he would die.
Thinking of this, he immediately said to the sergeant: "Call him in."
"No!" The soldier retreated with his fists.
It's really better to be a coincidence. We are discussing who will go to Liucheng to die, but Xiao Yuan came at this time.
And he is from a low-level family and has no backing or connections. If people don’t choose him, who will they choose?
And he came not for anything else, but mainly reported to Lu Bolin about the release of the Central Plains slaves.
Soon, Xiao Yuan walked in. After entering the hall, the atmosphere inside was obviously different, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on him.
Although she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, Xiao Yuan didn't think much about it. After greeting Lu Bolin, he reported to him the important matter.
Lu Bolin listened pretentiously. After Xiao Yuan finished reporting, he nodded and said, "Xiao Yuan, you have done this very well, but there is another thing that I still need to entrust to you."
"Please tell the message to Mr. Lu." Xiao Yuan said.
