Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #137 - Chapter 137

In the second year of Jian’an, it was night on the second day of November.

The north wind was howling, and it seemed to be colder than the previous few days.

The winter night sky is gloomy, and it seems that heavy snow is about to fall.

In Chaoge City, Jizhou General Jiang Qi looked at the oppressive night and felt inexplicably restless.

Jiang Qi was calm and resourceful, and held a high position in Yuan Shao’s army, even slightly higher than Zhang He and Gao Lan among the Four Court Pillars of Hebei.

The reason why he is not as well-known as Zhang He Gao Lan is because Jiang Qi is not as good at martial arts as the two of them. He is more handsome but less brave.

Also with high qualifications is Chunyu Qiong.

Chunyu Qiong was even more senior than Jiang Qi. He, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were among the eight captains of Xiyuan.

Later, he joined Yuan Shao and was highly regarded. He was appointed as the governor by Yuan Shao and was in charge of one-third of Jizhou’s troops!

This time Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and his son faced off in Suanzao Yangwu, so he ordered Chunyu Qiong to be the governor, dedicated to guarding grain and grass in Chaoge.

And at the suggestion of Ju Shou and others, the calm and resourceful Jiang Qi was appointed as Chun Yuqiong’s deputy general to prevent Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son from coming to attack with their scheming intentions.

In addition to Jiang Qi, there are also Jizhou brave general Han Meng, Zhao Rui, Lu Weihuang, Sui Yuanjin and other generals, all of whom are stationed in Chaoge.

Among them, Han Meng is the fifth fierce general in Jizhou, second only to Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, the four pillars of Hebei.

To be precise, Han Meng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others are collectively called the Four Courts and One Pillar. The four in front are the Four Courts, and Han Meng is that pillar!

Just the three of them, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, and Han Meng, can be called a powerful lineup, not to mention that a few days ago, the total number of troops stationed in Chaoge was 50,000!

Even if the lord Yuan Shao ordered most of the defenders to be transferred out two days ago, there are still 15,000 troops stationed inside and outside Chaoge!

Among them, 10,000 people were stationed in the city as the main force, and 14,500 people were led by Han Meng and were stationed outside the city as patrols.

Although most of the troops were mobilized, these fifteen thousand people, coupled with Chaoge’s strong city, were enough to protect the food and grass in the city.

Even if a hundred thousand troops come to attack, they can still withstand it for several days with a strong city.

In a few days, it would be enough for the main force of Yuan’s army, a hundred miles away on the south bank, to come to the rescue.

It can even arrive in just over a day at the earliest.

With such protection, it stands to reason that there should be nothing to worry about.

But Jiang Qi felt inexplicably uneasy, so even though it was dark, Jiang Qi did not rest in the camp, but walked to the top of the city to inspect.

Seeing that many of the soldiers on night duty at the city wall were slacking off and even dozing off, Jiang Qi couldn’t help but look sullen and ordered his soldiers to catch a few sleeping in the corners of the city wall and beat them with thirty military sticks as a warning. emulate

“There are three million stones of food and grass stored in the city, which can be used by my army for half a year!

How dare you take it lightly when it comes to life and death in the decisive battle with Cao Jun!

For the sake of waiting for the first offender, I will give you thirty military sticks first.

If you let me see you cheating and cheating again, I will definitely kill you!”

After beating thirty soldiers with batons, Jiang Qi looked at the soldiers on night duty and said majestically.

Most of the soldiers shrank their necks when they heard this, and did not even dare to say a word.

There was also an unconvinced one who was stubborn. Neck said:”Both Governor Chunyu and General Han Meng were not so careful and drank in the city to keep warm.

I was waiting to stand at the top of the city on such a cold day, with the wind and frost blowing, and not even a mouthful of hot soup.

The general only punishes us, which is really dissatisfying!

Jiang Qi’s eyes suddenly jumped when he heard this:”Is what you said true?”

Do you know what it is to lie and slander the general?

The soldier who was beaten was also serious and still said with a pinched neck:”Everything the villain said is true, I am willing to guarantee it with my head!”

Governor Chunyu, General Han Meng and others spent the past two days cooking wine and barbecue at the official office in the city. How happy they were!

Because I know that General you are a serious person and I am wary of you preaching, so I deliberately kept it from you!

All the soldiers like us know it, but you, the general, don’t know it!”

After Jiang Qi heard what the soldier said, his face suddenly darkened, and he became more and more angry, but it was not directed at this upright soldier, but at Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng!

“In the face of a powerful enemy, as a general and general, he ignored important matters, left his post without permission, and gathered people to drink!

How hateful!”

Jiang Qi snorted and clenched his fists.

He couldn’t help but be angry. Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng gathered together to drink for several days in a row. Han Meng didn’t even stay in the patrol camp outside the city. It was obvious that he was too underestimated and unprepared for the enemy.!

Treating military aircraft as a trivial matter! The patrol camp outside the city was originally responsible for patrolling the surroundings of Chaoge City. It was to detect enemy forces and serve as a wing and guard for the defenders in the city!

The first defense.

As a result, Han Meng, the general of the former camp, left the military tent and went into the city to drink with Chunyu Qiong!

At this time, if an enemy suddenly attacked, how could the patrol camp outside the city be leaderless? Wouldn’t it be easily defeated?

Without the early warning of the patrol camp, wouldn’t it be possible for the defenders in the city to be rushed into the city by the enemy in one fell swoop

? It caused a very bad impact.

The generals and generals left their posts without permission and hid in the warm government buildings in the city, cooking wine and barbecue, while the soldiers on night watch were enjoying the wind and frost outside the city. How could they not be cold and hungry? The soldiers have a simple idea, that is, the generals are like this. We and other soldiers are just for a ration of military rations. Why do we have to work so hard and be on guard duty in the cold?

Lazy!

The military discipline and defense of the entire army have been ruined and lazy!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi didn’t blame those lazy soldiers any more. He just sighed and said:”Send my military order to the Huotou Army.” A few buckets of hot soup were boiled and sent to the city to keep the soldiers warm.

Those who have received military sticks should be sent back to rest. The rest of them should cheer up for me after drinking the soup and do a good night’s work!

Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the food and fodder, neither you nor my head can be saved in front of the lord!

Don’t be dissatisfied. Since I have punished you, I will not ignore the general’s faults!

I will go to the city to find the two generals to question you!”

Jiang Qi is still very popular with the officers and soldiers in the army. With his kindness and power, and his intention to question Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng, even the few soldiers who were beaten were not unconvinced, so they tried their best to punish Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qi went to Chunyu Qionghan to question him with anger.

In the center of the city, a charcoal fire was burning and a felt tent was hung. It was as warm as spring. The official office was originally the office of the county magistrate here, but because Chunyu Qiong was the official, it was temporarily occupied as the headquarters of the Chinese army.

Chunyu Qiong, Han Meng, Sui Yuanjin and other generals burned charcoal fire here. The meat was cooked with wine, and the wine was delicious.

Although it was not as addictive as Chun Yuqiong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he could hardly wake up,

Jiang Qi came outside the official office in violation of the military prohibition on alcohol. At that time, I smelled the smell of alcohol and meat coming from the courtyard from a distance, and my expression suddenly became even colder.

“The general is here late at night, please allow me to go to Tongbing!”

Outside the official office, Chun Yuqiong’s soldiers saw Jiang Qi coming. Their eyelids jumped. They remembered the instructions of their leader, General Chun Yuqiong, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Jiang Qi saw through the soldier’s thoughts at a glance and gave a cold shout. Said:”Go away! I have something important to see the governor!”

As he said that, he pushed the soldier away.

The soldier wanted to stop him, but Jiang Qi had already drawn his sword and placed it on his neck:”Anyone who blocks me will die!

Anyone who dares to stop me will delay the military situation!”

Jiang Qi’s roar immediately frightened the soldiers and they did not dare to stop him.

So Jiang Qi drove straight in and broke into the lobby. When he opened the felt tent, there was a burst of hot air carrying the smell of meat and wine. When they came, they saw the general Chun Yuqiong, Han Meng, Sui Yuanjin and other generals, who were changing cups and cups. Everyone’s face was full of drunkenness.

“The governor and the generals are so happy!”

When Jiang Qi saw this scene, he suddenly became angry and snorted coldly.

With the arrival of Jiang Qi and the influx of a cold wind that opened the felt tent, Chunyu Qiong, Han Meng and others were also blown by the cold wind. After fighting with Jiang Qi, they got rid of their drunkenness and regained some consciousness.

Sui Yuanjin and others showed a sense of fear, obviously they were a little afraid of the selfless Jiang Qi.

After all, their official rank was not as high as that of Jiang Qiong.

I was also a little trembling in my heart.

Although Jiang Qi was his deputy, Chunyu Qiong was also quite afraid of Jiang Qi’s seriousness, so he only gathered people to drink in secret, and even kept it secret from his own soldiers.

He ordered that if Jiang Qi came to see him, he would stop him first and then report him, giving Chun Yuqiong time to destroy the evidence.

However, he did not expect that the soldiers could not stop Jiang Qi.

Lai Xingshi is here to investigate!

Seeing that his deeds have been ruined, Chunyu Qiong opened the wine stall and shouted,”General Jiang Qi is here, please take a seat!”

It’s windy and frosty tonight, the sky is gloomy, and it looks like it’s going to snow. I’m going to finish my military duties, so I’ll eat and drink to warm myself up.”

Obviously, Chunyu Qiong wanted to get the upper hand and dragged Jiang Qi into the water together.

In this way, no one would care about them. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But Jiang Qi did not give any Chunyu Qiong was so proud that he hated iron and said,”Why should the governor hide it from me?

I already know everything!

The governor and the generals are charged with the important task of protecting food and grass, why are they so confused!

The lord is fighting and confronting Cao’s army on the front line, but the governor is here drinking and enjoying himself!

He even took Han Meng, the general of the patrol camp outside the city, to leave his post without permission!

If Cao’s army is attacked by a strange force, wouldn’t it be dangerous if there are no generals in the camp outside the city?

If Cao Jun takes advantage of the situation and rushes into the city, the governor and generals will be drunk. How can they defend themselves against the enemy?”

Jiang Qi’s scolding did not give any face, and Chunyu Qiong’s expression also dropped:”Jiang Qi! Are you the governor or am I the governor?

It’s such a cold weather, why don’t we just wait for the generals to have a glass of wine to warm themselves up?

Don’t rely on the Lord’s trust in you to point fingers at us!

In terms of trustworthiness and seniority, when my lord and I were both captains of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, you, Jiang Qi, didn’t know where you were!”

Chun Yuqiong’s scolding made Han Meng, Sui Yuanjin and other generals feel happy and a little embarrassed for a while.

Although Chunyu Qiong was happy to scold Jiang Qi, that was because Chun Yuqiong’s status was higher than Jiang Qi.

And Han Meng, Sui Yuanjin and others , but under Jiang Qi,

Jiang Qi may have no choice but to deal with Chunyu Qiong, but it is easy to deal with them using military law.[]

So Sui Yuanjin hurriedly advised:”Captain, don’t be angry. General Jiang Qi also has good intentions.

It’s just that he is a little too cautious.”

After making a good deal to Jiang Qi, Sui Yuanjin said to Jiang Qi:”The general also said that my lord’s army We are fighting with Cao Jun on the front line, and the Lord has more troops than Cao Jun. How can Cao Jun have extra troops to act as surprise troops?

What’s more, even if Cao Jun has extra troops to harass our rear, they should go to the hinterland of Jizhou around Liyang and Yecheng. Why would you come to this small Chaoge?

After all, Chaoge is a place where only our army knows, so how can Cao Jun know?”

After Sui Yuanjin explained, Han Meng also took advantage of the situation and said:”General Sui is right, General Jiang Qi, it is a good thing to be cautious, but you should not be too cautious.

Don’t say that Cao Jun is unlikely to come. Even if Cao Jun comes, my subordinates outside the city will be able to spot Cao Jun and warn the city.

General. Keep your heart in your stomach!”

Seeing that these people were so stubborn and still making excuses, Jiang Qi suddenly became even more angry. Just when he was about to have a fit, Chunyu Qiong waved his hand impatiently:”Stop talking, Jiang. If General Qi is willing to stay, let’s drink and eat meat together.

If not, you can go watch the night yourself.

I don’t believe it. The main force of the army behind Chaoge City has always been secretive. How can we bypass the army and find the place where Chaoge stores food?

It’s even more impossible to attack Chaoge!”

Just as Chun Yuqiong said these words, a soldier suddenly came to report:”Captain, it’s bad! Suddenly, there was a fire at the outer patrol camp, and there were shouts of killing!

It seems that Cao Jun is coming!”

This report immediately made Chun Yuqiong’s face freeze, and Jiang Qi’s face suddenly darkened. Go down……
