Chapter VIII
"Reporting to the Lord of the Mansion, it was a surprise that we met General Wang's people," the old man was still speaking. "I was waiting to flee all the way because I was worried that there would be pursuers..."
As he was talking, Wang Jun would suddenly raise his hand and signal him to stop. With the other party's face of confusion, he pointed at the young man and said, "Don't say it for now, let him say it."
"Me?" The young man was shocked by this finger and seemed a little confused, but then he calmed down and forced himself to be energetic, "As for order!" and then he began to narrate.
When others saw this, they understood a little more. They knew that this was also Wang Jun's suspicion, doubted the identities of these two people, and wanted to see if there were any loopholes or differences in their statements.
When it comes to the reaction of the young man, they nodded secretly, because there were hundreds of soldiers under the city gate, all of whom were fleeing and defeated soldiers who were placed under the city. Their choice was only to show that these two people had some prestige and ability in the deserter team, and at least they could convince others. In the unexpected situation in front of them, they would be able to keep calm and calm quickly.
Everyone was judging in their hearts, and the young man over there also roughly described their experiences.
According to him, in panic, their troops only decided that the troops who were going back two sections were going to march to the west. If they wanted to invade Dai County, they would naturally have to identify one of the east and quickly pass without looking back.
Speaking of this, the young and older people all looked ashamed and asked repeatedly, hoping to forgive their escape.
"It is a sin to escape at the last moment. You should not let it go easily. Even if you kill all the troops in front of the battlefield, you can also do it. You can wake up others and let them know to fight to the death." Wang Jun looked like he was doing his job. The two of them were shocked again, but fortunately, he changed the subject next, "However, you can give you the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious service. Let's explain the situation clearly first. If you can provide useful military information, it will be a reduction of the guilt and it is nothing."
As he said that, Wang Jun looked at the two of them and sneered: "But don't feel any dissatisfaction. If there is no clear distinction between rewards and punishments, then will everyone be able to escape before the war in the future? You are asking for help under the city, which shows that you know that the battle situation is complicated and it is not safe to escape by yourself. I hope you can get stability in the city. If you make a mistake and still think about it, you have to pay the price!"
The two of them had different expressions, and the young man nodded quickly to show that he understood.
Wang Jun nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and signaled him to continue talking.
"In order to get rid of the pursuers and reduce traces at the same time, we walked along the dense forest and wade in the water. As long as the water flow was not very fast, we would go downstream to reduce traces. We soon arrived next to the Juma River. As a result, we were discovered by the secret whistle along the river without many steps."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt energetic.
There were sentry guards all over the Juma River. They all knew very well. Logically, these secret guards would not only send messages to Qiuxian, but also to Youzhou City. As a result, they had not received any feedback yet, which made them very strange.
"... The soldiers who were secretly whistled checked and confirmed our identity. Then they led us to see General Wang," the young man said here, showing shame again. "We were relieved at that time. We knew that when we arrived at Qiu County, we could go to the city to rest, better than to run outside, and..." He looked at Wang Jun carefully, "We also knew that Youzhou City is an important town. With a big man like Fujun, we deserters will definitely be investigated. Therefore, being able to enter Qiu County is undoubtedly the best choice. Unfortunately, when we are about to arrive, the outside of Qiu County has already turned into a battlefield."
At this time, a Wang Jun's aide couldn't help but shout, "Didn't you think about going to fight on the battlefield? He ended up running away again?"
The young man's face was even stronger. He lowered his head and said, "I'm actually very tired when I run all the way and wading through the forest. In addition, I'm already scared and have lost most of my weapons. How dare I fight to the death? Moreover, there were soldiers from General Wang who came over and asked us about our origins, so I asked me not to get involved in order to prevent their formation from being messed up. I also pointed out Youzhou City and told me to wait for help and convey the message by the way."
As soon as this was said, everyone was talking and dissatisfied.
Wang Jun waved his hand and asked everyone to rest as he was a little restless. He continued to ask: "First tell me about the situation of Duan Piqin's troops being attacked, and then describe to me the scene and situation I saw in Qiu County. If it is said well, I think it is useful, and at least I can survive. Otherwise, even if you have hundreds of people, I will kill them all!" In the words, the cold air was full of murderous intent.
The young man seemed to shivered and quickly recounted the initial situation.
These contents were actually involved when the older man just described the escape, but Wang Jun would ask about the details now, and gradually the whole situation had a contour in their minds.
"I carelessly underestimate the enemy and don't trust Duan Jin enough. I even make the surrendered refugee army bait, and I don't care about the troops at all. Duan Piqin lost without any worries!"
After some inquiry, Wang Jun sighed so much.
According to normal logic, an ordinary deserter would definitely not be able to see such a general trend, but from his words, Wang Jun can derive the full picture of the matter.
On the other hand, he also sighed in his heart, thinking of a common problem in his current army.
There are many factions in the mountains and factions. As long as they are not from their own factions, even if they have tens of thousands of soldiers, they dare to consume them at will without any distress.
For the people under his command, this is a crackdown on dissidents, but for Wang Jun, it is just a waste of resources, and now he has suffered bad consequences.
As he thought about it, he suddenly changed his subject: "But, according to your words, when you left Qiu County, you didn't see a large number of enemy troops, but a small number of troops were sweeping the secret whistle?"
The young man nodded and said, "That's right. General Wang and his men were supporting each other and fighting with the enemy. He heard that he had the upper hand, but I don't know what happened later. They didn't reveal it, but they just asked us to come here and explain the situation clearly."
"This is different from what the person who sent the message said." Wang Jun thought, and at the same time he turned his eyes and looked at the two of them again, "And, being able to grasp the layout of the secret whistle so clearly is obviously the way our army arranges secret whistle and the organizational form is very clear. How can it be done without the help of internal people?"
The two of them obviously thought of something, and their faces changed slightly.
At this time, the elderly deserter asked carefully: "Mr., can we brothers enter the city? We run around the forest and float in the water, exhausted, cold and hungry..."
"It's already good not to kill you, and you still want to enter the city?" Wang Jun looked at the two of them coldly, and the words in his mouth made both of them disappointed, but then said: "However, the news you brought is still useful, but it can be seen that it is not a complete waste. I will ask someone to loosen some food from the city, fill your hunger first, and then set up camp outside the city!"
Hearing this, the older man showed joy, while the younger man clasped his fists to thank him, but a strange smile appeared on his slightly lowered face.
