The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 225 Li Chuang's Plan

"My lord, Jia Yan rode alone and left to the south. Dongwuyang is to the north of us, so Jia Yan should not have joined the Yan army." Li Chuang said.

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe he used this trick to make us think that he didn't join the Yan army." A general stood up and said to Li Chuang.

As Jia Yan who resolutely asked Li Chuang to go north to support Meng Xiu, he violated the wishes of a large part of the soldiers, so he had many enemies in the army.

In the past, Jia Yan was very trustworthy in front of Li Chuang, and he had a sharp mouth. The generals knew that there was no way to overthrow him, but it was fine. Now because of his plan, such a mistake happened. Generals who are not pleasing to the eye will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

"If it's according to what you said, then I can't figure it out. If he really took refuge in the Yan army, and now he has escaped from the camp, it is no problem for him to let us know his identity. There is absolutely no need for him to run south in the opposite direction."

Hearing someone refute himself, the Liangjun general who stood up at the beginning said.

"It may also be because he pays attention to his own reputation and doesn't want to carry the name of a traitor, so he did this, intending to hide it from the eyes of the world." Another general also opened his mouth to refute.

"you……"

"That's enough, don't talk about it anymore. It doesn't matter whether Jia Yan absconded in fear of crime or defected to the Yan army. The most important thing now is to catch him. As long as he is caught, everything will be revealed." Li Chuang interrupted the conversation between the two. Arguing, he opened his mouth and said.

"My lord is smart." Seeing Li Chuang's words, the two generals didn't dare to quarrel, they just glanced at each other with disdain, and then said to Li Chuang.

"You two obey the order. Since one of you said that Jia Yan really went south, and the other said that he was falsely going south but actually going north, then I will order the two of you to lead two thousand soldiers, and the other to go north. , all the way to the south. Jia Yan must be captured."

The two cupped their hands and said, "Of order."

Then, he turned and left.

Afterwards, Li Chuang looked at the crowd and knew that even if the conversation continued, he probably wouldn't get anything useful from them.However, after this period of time, he also has plans in his heart.

"Now, our military tents, food and grass have been burned, and there is no way to fight the Yan army for a long time. At dawn, we will launch a general attack on Dongwuyang. We will not stop until Dongwuyang is broken." Li Chuang He told everyone.

"My lord, our morale is low now. If we forcibly launch an attack on the Yan army, we will suffer heavy losses. In my opinion, it is better for us to withdraw the army tomorrow, and withdraw the army to Yangping for a period of time before making plans."

After Li Chuang finished speaking, the generals below seemed unwilling to fight any more, instead of surrendering their hands to accept orders, they looked at each other instead.Then a general came out and said to Li Chuang.

"Yes, General, when the time comes, we can choose whether we make a comeback and fight this group of grain troops, or cross the river and return to our hometown to take down Yanzhou Mansion." Hearing someone stand After coming out, another general stood up and bowed to Li Chuang.

Li Chuang looked at the two generals who stood up, and he wanted to drag them out as well, and punished them with fifty sticks.But these two people are not the same as the general who contradicted him in the first place, they are just small generals.These two men are also the mainstay of his generals.

It would be inappropriate to drag the two of them out just because they contradicted themselves.So he just thought about it, and didn't give an order.

Regarding what these two said, he naturally understood that the camp had just been stolen by the enemy.The soldiers must have been demoralized.Even if it is a strong attack tomorrow, it is estimated that it will be difficult to capture Dongwuyang.

But he didn't think about these things. Most of the food has been burned now. Even if he returns to Yangping, there is not much food in Yangping City, which is not enough to support so many food soldiers in his hands.Since food cannot be increased, he can only find ways to reduce soldiers.

Anyway, as long as there is food in the end, as long as conscription orders are posted, waves of ordinary people will become soldiers.

That's why he announced that he will attack Dongwuyang tomorrow. If Dongwuyang is captured, it will be a surprise to them.Even if it is impossible to attack, some grain army soldiers can be screened out.

In any case, they can only stay here for one day. Regardless of the situation of the siege tomorrow night, they will leave and rush back to Yangping overnight. Can freeze people.

"I've made up my mind on this matter, you don't want to talk about it anymore. Follow the order and launch a strong attack on Dongwuyang at dawn." After speaking, Li Chuang flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked out of the camp.

The remaining generals looked at each other, finally sighed and left slowly.After all, it was not long before dawn, and they dared not disrespect Li Chuang's military orders, so they could only rush to make preparations before the war started.

And at this time, beside the long river, a man galloped from a distance on a horse.He stopped by the river, then turned his head to look behind him, and was relieved to see that no one was chasing him.

Then he took the rein of the horse and walked along the ice above the long river.After slowly crossing the long river, the man mounted his horse and galloped towards Cangting, a nearby city.

Running all the way, when this person arrived at Cangting, the sky was already bright.

At the gate of the city, a group of people were waiting outside the city wall for the gate to open.

On this side of the river, although Xue Zhongchang sent troops to capture two cities, but the direction of march was south. As the northernmost city on this side of the river, it did not receive much impact, and it was still possible to enter and leave the city every day. Yes, but the opening time is relatively late, and the closing time is relatively early.

When the man arrived at the city gate, he didn't go up immediately, but stopped at a place not far from the city gate, and tied his horse to a nearby tree.After tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the city gate.

Maybe it was because of the long journey, his body was covered with dust, he went straight to the crowd waiting for the gate to open, but no one paid attention to him.

Just like that, the man waited in front of the city for a while until the gate opened.They followed the crowd into the city one after another.

After entering the city, the man looked around and saw that no one was following him.Then, he got into an alley with a strong goal, then turned around and stopped at the end of an alley.

He reached out his hand to the door of the last house in the alley, and knocked on the door.After the door was only slightly ajar, he squeezed in.
