Four hundred and ninetieth chapters can not climb the pit
General Huo wanted to chop people, which was a big deal. It would be fine if he wanted to chop others. The one he wanted to chop was Liu Wu. Although Huo Bing couldn't remember who this thin man was a bit vulgar and said, Shi Mi Changqing, the commander of the army beside Huo Bing, knew very well.
"Little Marquis, you can't cut it, he...he can't cut it."
"Why can't you cut? If you don't cut, I will just break him!"
Huo Bing was about to touch the short gun, but Mi Changqing quickly went up and whispered: "This Liu Wu is the person he trusted most under General Zhang. He... or a person from General Liu's mansion, have you forgotten?"
"Which General Liu?"
"Who else can you do? Little Marquis, why are you so many noble people? That's not His Highness Lin?"
Huo Bing stopped further movements when he heard this. He blinked, his tongue stretched out and licked his cracked lower lips, and a bit of cunning appeared on his face. After Mi Changqing's reminder, he really remembered that Liu Wu and Liu Yu were from the family. At the beginning, Liu Yu arranged Liu Wu to be a small official with Zhang Wuzhu. Later, through the accumulation of military achievements, this kid has now become a general.
If someone else is killed, it will be killed. But although Liu Yu dares to play tricks, he is even more afraid that Liu Yu will play tricks on him.
If Liu Yu no longer sends troops to rescue him, he will never have any idea of getting out of this mountainous area in his life.
"The death penalty is avoided, but the living penalty is hard to spare... I'll take it out and beat it for fifty sticks. Forget it, beat it for thirty! Forget it for the others, just beat him one!"
From beheading his head to hitting thirty sticks, Liu Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Huo Bing had no food or drink in Yuzhou City. He could not let the court lose this powerful general Huo Bing, so he volunteered to take charge of transporting grain. Who knew that there was an accident on the way. It is better to be beaten a few sticks than to lose his life.
Liu Wu was beaten with thirty military sticks in public, while Huo Bing returned to the barracks in anger. Now he could not find anything else to do except walk back and forth between the barracks and the four walls.
Now, there are about 300 Huo Bing's headquarters in the entire Yuzhou City, and about 200 local troupes in Yuzhou. This is all the armed forces in Huo Bing's hands. Since he was forced to retreat to Yuzhou City, he has been thinking about revenge, and he still has no hope. Because the enemy is hidden in the mountains and forests, he will not be given any chance, and as long as he leaves the city, he will be passively beaten.
"How many turtle shells are there in the mountains outside?"
In front of Huo Bing was a topographic map around Yuzhou City, but he couldn't understand it at all. He still learned from Liu Yu when he looked at the marching map. Liu Yu looked at the map with a very marshal style, so Huo Bing also learned to see it, but he had a model, but he looked like a figure and didn't look like a spirit.
Not long after, Liu Wu, who had been beaten with thirty sticks, was helped to the door of Huo Bing's camp. The curtain was lifted. Huo Bing raised his head and glanced at Liu Wu who was half dead, and sneered disdainfully.
"Looking at your bad behavior, I will be beaten with a hundred sticks without any humming," Huo Bing said to Liu Wu. He immediately looked at Mi Changqing who came with him, "Lao Mi, why don't you take him to see the doctor?"
Mi Changqing entered the door and said respectfully: "Little Marquis. Liu Zheng brought His Highness Lin's letter."
"What?" Huo Bing jumped up from the chair, "Didn't you say it earlier? What do you believe?"
"In the arms of a villain."
When Liu Wu was frightened by Huo Bing, he instinctively called himself a "villain".
Huo Bing was not polite, and reached out and took out a letter from Liu Wu's arms. Unfortunately, Huo Bing recognized very few words on it. In his opinion, this letter was like a heavenly book.
"Laomi, read it to my master."
"The King Lin said that General Zhang Wuzhu was sent to help you and let you cooperate with everything."
"Not?"
"It's gone!"
"Damn, are you playing tricks on me? You said that Lao Zhang is sent, and Lao Zhang is? You were beaten before you arrived in Yuzhou. Let me cooperate? You were beaten together with Lao Zhang? His grandfather's mother is preparing a guy for me. I will go out to find the turtle grandson of the turtle son and go desperately!"
Mi Changqing looked distressed, thinking that General Huo was driven crazy by the rioters outside. Now he felt that he was not satisfied with scolding people, "fucking", "turtle" and "son of the turtle". He was full of tricks and always wanted to fight against the rioters.
But Huo Bing left Yuzhou City, it was like he was going to catch a blind eye. He didn't know where the enemy was and where he went. But it took less than half an hour to leave the city. Huo Bing had to encounter an attack. A large pocket was laid outside Yuzhou City. Huo Bing would be fine if he didn't drill. Once he drilled, he had to come out of his pocket, that is, to return to Yuzhou City. Although Huo Bing was impulsive, he knew that once the pocket was pierced, he could not get out. Therefore, Huo Bing was cautious after leaving Yuzhou City and did not dare to go too far away. Whenever Huo Bing came back to the surroundings of Yuzhou City, the rebels would be like they disappeared out of thin air. No matter how Huo Bing provoked, he would never see anyone again.
Huo Bing put his armor on his body and looked at Liu Wu and said, "Did Lao Zhang say how to cooperate with him?"
Liu Yu said tremblingly: "General Zhang said that he hopes General Huo can set up an ambush with him."
Originally, Huo Bing tied his belt tightly and was ready to hang up a short gun and leave the city before going to find the rebels to fight desperately. When he heard this, he suddenly stopped his hand and looked at Huo Bing, and said in surprise: "Set an ambush?"
Huo Bing's mind was just a stubborn mind. He fought desperately on the battlefield, and there was nothing else. Any military action that hindered his desperate efforts was a failure. Huo Bing didn't mind how tragic the war would be or how fierce the enemy was. He only cared about having a war to fight him. As for those who were playing tricks, it was Liu Yu's trick, and he couldn't think of how to set up an ambush with his brain.
"This trick seems to be very useful." Huo Bing recalled the happy time when he was the Eighth Route Army in Jiangyou. He opened his mouth and asked without a smile, "Can you tell me how to set it up? What do I need to do?"
If you have something to ask for, Huo Bing will not call himself "young master" or "i" but honestly call himself "me".
Liu Wu said cautiously: "General Zhang's meaning is to let General Huo go to the official road between the two cities tomorrow. If it goes well, it will take less than an hour to meet. The head and tail of the riots cannot be taken care of. At that time, your troops and General Zhang's troops will be lightning-proof, and then..."
"Okay. Okay, I understand what you mean." Huo Bing interrupted Liu Wu impatiently, "What kind of broken official road is there between Yuzhou and Xun County. You saw it when you came. Not to mention horses, even pedestrians have difficulties. On this road, there are mountains and forests on both sides. It would be good if those turtles do not set up a pit to bury us. Another point is that how can you guarantee that we and Lao Zhang's troops can set off at the same time?"
"General Huo, my subordinates came this time and brought a carrier pigeon."
Huo Bing's eyes lit up: "Pigeon? It tastes so good. I haven't eaten meat for several days."
Mi Changqing quickly reminded: "Little Marquis, the carrier pigeon is used to convey the message."
Only then did Huo Bing remember that pigeons seemed to have this function.
"Tsk. I'm not unaware of it. I just asked him how many of them he brought and whether he could kill one or two to eat meat. Hey, Liu Wu, how many pigeons did you bring to the place?"
"Ten, but General Huo. You can't eat meat. It's forty miles from Yun County to Yuzhou. There are people from the rebels in the middle. I'm afraid that they will find it and shoot our pigeons in the middle. So we have to release all ten carrier pigeons so that the message can be transmitted." Liu Yu was a little anxious. He was afraid that Huo Bing would really kill the grid and roast it to eat. "Also, we can't write it too clearly when we pass the message. General Zhang has instructed his subordinates to pass the departure time back in code words, so that even if the rebels learn it, they will not know what news we are delivering."
"It's so messy... I'll listen to you, hurry up and do it."
Liu Wu added: "General Zhang also said that once the two counties come into contact, everything will be enforced by flag words. At that time, General Huo, don't act rashly."
"I know, I know, please hurry up, or I'll hit you with thirty sticks."
Liu Wu touched his butt and thought to himself that this job was really hard to do. It would be fine to put his head on the belt, but even his boss was embarrassed.
Liu Wu first asked Huo Bing when it was suitable for troops to send troops, and then prepared all the pigeons, knocked the paper into the thin bamboo tube and tied it to the pigeon's legs. When all the pigeons were released from the city wall, Liu Wu's heart was hung again. If none of the pigeons flew to Yun County, then this plan would be a failure, and Huo Bing, who was rashly leaving the city, would likely be wiped out.
"Carry pigeons, you must give me a sigh." Liu Wu prayed silently.
The next day, when the agreed time was about to come, Huo Bing was ready to leave the north gate of the city. Huo Bing was reluctant to leave the ghost place of Yuzhou City earlier, so he brought all his subordinates with him, and he ignored the local garrison troops in Yuzhou City. Gao An, the prefect of Yuzhou City, came to see him off, but it seemed to be trying to keep him. Although Huo Bing and his group of people were just eating and not doing anything, they were at least to maintain peace. If Huo Bing left like this, the rebels would turn back and take revenge on Yuzhou City. Just relying on local garrison groups to train, they would be no match for the rebels.
"For the people of Yuzhou City, Marquis, you go early and come back soon."
"Oh, oh, I know, County Magistrate Gao can go back first, I know what to do." As soon as Gao An turned around and went back, Huo Bing immediately muttered, "Damn, the one who came back is a stupid boy!"
Huo Bing took his army and left Yuzhou City. The people of Yuzhou City came to see each other spontaneously, and on the top of the city, they sent away these vampires who had pitted them for grain to prevent hunger and food, and they all wanted to look forward to them coming back. What a complicated mood.
"It seems that I can't come back!" This sigh came from the crowd.
But less than an hour later, I saw the cavalry coming back anxiously, and Huo Bing rode a horse to rush forward.
Gao An immediately ordered the city gate to welcome him.
Huo Bing looked furious and complained when he entered the city: "Damn, the sons of those turtle grandson actually blocked the road with big stones. What's not to cause any confusion for me?"
It turned out that Huo Bing led his troops to the direction of Yun County. After walking less than ten miles, he found that the road was blocked. If he wanted to pass the blocked area, he had to dismount and walk. The first ten miles of horse riding was still very dangerous. If he just walked in the next thirty miles, it would be like killing death.
Huo Bing made a quick decision and retreated to Yuzhou City first. As a result, they were attacked by the rioters on the way back. So Huo Bing lost all the rice, and lost a lot of soldiers before they escaped and returned to Yuzhou City.
"General Huo, are you okay?" Liu Wu went up to greet him.
"It's all your fault!" Huo Bing entered the city. He was a little angry and finally found a point of venting. "If it weren't for your bad idea, why would it make me so embarrassed? You Liu Wu, are you a spy sent by the rioters?"
Liu Wu was shocked and knelt down and begged for mercy: "General Huo, don't blame the villain, the villain has never done such a traitor."
"I'm still saying no...I'll kick you..."
Huo Bing stretched out his foot and kicked it, but was pulled down by Mi Changqing and others. Huo Bing was very angry. He thought he could escape, but he returned to the mouse cave. This feeling of shattering escape was very uncomfortable.
Huo Bing vented his anger and ran to the city tower to stare blankly at the sky. This kind of thing is no longer strange to the soldiers and the people in the city. Although this Yonghou is a famous general in the court, he is still like a child. Whenever he is unhappy, he likes to climb up the city wall with his bare hands and stand on the top of the city tower and yell at the sky.
The soldiers returned to the sad place of Yuzhou City and needed to reinstall the carriage and live a life of today but not tomorrow in the city.
"Look, what's up there!"
Huo Bing suddenly yelled at the people below on the roof of the city tower.
The soldiers and the people also raised their heads at the same time, and saw a colorful spherical object flying in the sky, coming from the northwest to the southeast.
"His mother is the sky lantern. I have sat down!" When Huo Bing saw it clearly, he became even more excited. This thing was just a colored "sky lantern". This "sky lantern" was a hot air balloon, which was used by Liu Yu when he defeated Jiankang City in Huainan. At that time, Huo Bing, as the captain of the commando team, was the commander-in-chief in the airborne troops, so he naturally knew the beauty of this thing.
But Huo Bing also knew that it was easy to land in the sky and it was difficult to control the direction of landing. When flying in the air, the direction of the flight was entirely determined by the wind direction. Today, the northwest wind was going south, which means that the sky lantern was likely from Yun County.
Huo Bing climbed down from the city tower like a monkey, jumped in front of Liu Wu and asked excitedly: "Is this what Lao Zhang prepared?"
Liu Wuyi stared at the colorful sky lanterns in the sky with a puzzled look on his face, and said with a look of discomfort: "I don't know."
"Go to your mother." Huo Bing reached out and patted Liu Wu's forehead, cursed angrily, and looked up at the sky. He was wondering if there would be someone above him parachuting down, just like they were as brave as they had when they broke Jiankang City. But after waiting for a long time, except for the skylight drifting on Yuzhou City for a while, it seemed that the fire was turned off and waiting for landing, but because the wind direction was uncertain and it was difficult to land, the drivers above did not dare to land easily.
I didn't see anything falling from above.
"It's too high, I can't see clearly. By the way, what's there?" Huo Bing suddenly remembered that there was a telescope equipped by Liu Yu, and quickly asked Mi Changqing to take it out of his baggage.
Telescopes are useful in open areas, but in places like Yuzhou City surrounded by mountains, their effects are almost gone. Therefore, they are also tied up by Huo Bing. Now I remember that this thing is a little useful.
Huo Bing held a tube-shaped object and looked at the sky for a long time. The people next to him were also guessing what he was doing. Huo Bing suddenly shouted: "Here, come!"
People also looked up and saw something falling from the colorful sky lantern. It was not a person, but smaller than a person and landed quickly, but it seemed like it was dragged behind it.
"Hurry away and don't get hit."
Huo Bing shouted, but in fact, there would be no accident if he didn't shout, because the direction of the thing landing was a distance from the gate where they were standing, and it fell directly into the alley in the city. After the object landed, people found that it was connected to a rope.
The soldiers and the people rushed to the direction where the object landed. When they arrived in the alley, they realized that the landed object had collapsed the beam of a certain household and the house turned into ruins. Fortunately, the people in this household also went to the city gate to watch the fun with the crowd. There was no one at home and would not end up in the destruction of their family.
People found objects connected to the rope from the ruins. It was nothing special. After they opened the layers of "skin" to realize that there was nothing but a big stone inside.
"No wonder that it's so destructive. What is this to do?" Huo Bing asked in his heart.
"Pull it down!" Liu Wu shouted.
Then everyone remembered that the other end of the stone was connected to the sky lantern in the sky. If this stone fell to the ground, it was a signal that the sky lantern in the sky was about to fall to the ground.
The fire was high, and a group of people pulled down the sky lanterns in the sky with all their might. With the direction, the sky lanterns landed much more smoothly. The colorful spheres became larger and larger in front of everyone's eyes. After landing, people realized that it was a huge object, but there was a small basket hanging underneath. There were two people in the basket, all of which seemed to be wrapped in rice dumplings, and a big bag was carried on their backs.
"General Huo!"
The people above knew that they were soldiers at first glance. The two of them came down to say hello to Huo Bing. However, Huo Bing was not interested in them, but was interested in the objects in the basket. He lay on the edge of the basket and looked at it. He knew that there was nothing else except the rope. Huo Bing's originally excited face became cold.
"You guys didn't bring anything to eat?"
"The load cannot be too high, so I only brought two of us and a stone." The soldier answered honestly.
"Bastard, what's the use of you two coming here besides having two more mouths to eat, and two more pits to shit? Hurry up and get out with this thing!"
The two pilots landed on the ground in a difficult situation, but Huo Bing scolded him. Even the onlookers couldn't stand it. They felt that General Huo was a bit bullying. However, the two soldiers had no complaints, but they were just listening honestly.
The new army has strict discipline, which means that the superiors make unreasonable troubles, and their subordinates have no qualifications to question or oppose them. A bad word is to deal with military law.
"Tell me, what are you doing?" Huo Bing calmed down for a long time before asking.
"General Huo, we are the order of General Fenghua Ji'an to convey the order of the vanguard general. The imperial army will move south soon. Please... hold on for a while."
Huo Bing heard the sound and sat on the ground, saying a little annoyed: "Damn, the person named Liu finally remembered me! I will never take on such a chore next time."
Chapter completed!
