Chapter 207: The Hulao Conspiracy (14)
In a blink of an eye, the peaceful days were almost at the end of May. On May 28th, a man dressed in a civilian asked to see Liu Shan outside the military camp, and the guards drove him out. However, the man insisted on pestering the guards and insisting on seeing Liu Shan, but he couldn't even drive him away. In the end, the guards had no choice. The two of them dragged him into the distance. The man's roar came from the gate of the camp.
That night, the soldiers in the Liangzhou military camp received an order and gathered urgently. It turned out that things happened during the day were just a signal, a signal of an impending mutiny.
That night, all the troops in the Hulao camp gathered, and even the most basic left-behind forces were not arranged. This night's war was also a battle of burning boats in the records of later generations. The Liangzhou military camp all left the barracks that night, and there was no one in the barracks. Only the campfires shone brightly, and at the gate of the camp, there was no guards guarding them. If someone attacked the camp at this time, Liu Shan would have no way out. The entire camp could not withstand the torture of many troops, and would burn to white ground within one night.
What is even more unbelievable is that all the food and grass of the Liangzhou army remained in the camp. Of course, the food and grass were guarded by someone. A team of wounded soldiers could not follow the Liangzhou army, so they stayed in the camp. If this was considered to be a left-behind, then there were indeed some left-behind soldiers.
At midnight, Hulao Pass was lying across the Central Plains like a hideous gray beast. Looking at the heroic pass in the distance, there was a faint flickering campfire. In the hazy fire, teams of soldiers were patrolling. Even at night, Hulao's patrol was still very tight. From a distance, Hulao was like an iron dam, which made people suddenly feel powerless.
At this time, in Guanzhong, a team of ingenious grassland soldiers drank enough wine. The team lined up and down toward the camp of King Xia's army. Facing the group of drunken grassland soldiers, the soldiers in charge of guarding the Xia Wang's army soon drove away. However, these soldiers didn't know what was wrong, but they didn't leave. Perhaps because they drank too much wine, they could no longer tell the camp in front of them. Dou Jiande, the Xia Wang, who was commanding the military and political affairs in Hebei, lived in the camp at this time.
The grassland soldiers were drunk and driven away by the guards, and they all started to make trouble. Some soldiers had already pulled out their scimitars and fought with the soldiers of the Xia Wang army weakly. Faced with this drunken grassland soldiers, King Xia's guards were afraid that the Hebei soldiers and grassland soldiers would conflict with each other at this time, and the grassland soldiers in the camp would become an unstable factor. Moreover, the grassland soldiers were often drunk and engaged in trouble everywhere. King Xia had also found the commander of the grassland soldiers several times, but the grassland commander explained that his soldiers had always been like this. They liked drinking when there was no war, and liked to make trouble after drinking. He also asked King Xia to forgive him and promised King Xia that he would strictly restrain his subordinates. But he didn't know whether the grassland soldiers were not restricted or the grassland commander was not restrained. Anyway, there were often troubles caused by drunkenness.
King Xia only thought that the grassland soldiers had always been loose in military discipline, but only asked his soldiers not to provoke these grassland soldiers and not to have conflicts with the grassland soldiers. In fact, this is also a temporary solution. After all, King Xia could not offend the grassland people at this time, it was just drunk and causing trouble. As long as the matter was not serious, it would be considered that it had never happened.
Suddenly, King Xia realized that the soldiers and horses of the grassland commander had already vaguely surrounded his guards. His guards and the grassland drunk soldiers were just now mixed up. The grassland soldiers surrounded the drunk soldiers, which was equivalent to surrounding his own troops. What was even more sad was that he was in the encirclement.
