They were led here to ambush Liangshan.
It turned out to be one of Wang Qing's men.
The first one we need is the leader, Du Xue!
But after arriving here,
Du Xue, however, led a few henchmen...
Go and check on the whereabouts of the Liangshan army!
Until the troops were ambushed in Huaixi.
They were all killed by Liangshan.
Du Xue was still nowhere to be found!
.....
The Liangshan group decided to continue their advance.
After arriving at the banks of the Qinghe River,
We need to think of another way to deal with the Huaixi military stronghold.
Meanwhile, the Huaixi army...
After Du Xue saw that Liangshan had set fire to the woods where their henchmen were lying in ambush,
He then knew his plan.
Nine times out of ten, Liangshan had already seen through it!
Seeing his underlings,
They either perished in the flames,
Either under the pressure of thick smoke,
They had to leave the woods.
He finally died under the swords of Liangshan.
Du Xue's eyes widened in fury!
But the fact that Wang Qing values him is remarkable.
It certainly has its advantages!
Du Xue knew that he was a steady and reliable person.
Once Liangshan learns from the surrendered Huaixi army...
These ambushing minions,
It was he who led the rear,
They will definitely send cavalry to search for him everywhere!
So, before the battle at the edge of the woods was over,
Du Xue then hurriedly led his few remaining trusted followers...
They fled towards the camp on the bank of the Qinghe River.
Although he escaped the pursuit of Liangshan,
But when leaving the camp
He led a full five hundred henchmen out.
Now when we come back,
Only two or three people remained by his side.
Such a scene,
Naturally, the task of defending the camp was assigned to Duan Sanniang and Liu Yuan.
Their faces all fell...
Chapter 1135 Suspicion Leads to Seeds
"Old Du, what's going on?"
Duan San Niang almost gritted her teeth as she asked,
"What about the five hundred soldiers who went out with you?"
Why haven't they come back yet?
"Could it be that they are all...?"
“I’m sorry, madam,”
Du Xue immediately knelt down before Duan San Niang.
“Those Liangshan people saw through my plan,”
"Just set it on fire and burn down the woods where the soldiers were lying in ambush,"
"Many soldiers died in the fire, but the rest managed to escape the forest,"
"But faced with the encirclement of Liangshan, in the end, some died and some surrendered,"
"Only these few soldiers who went with me to investigate the situation at Liangshan survived..."
"W-what did you say?"
Duan San Niang's body swayed violently.
He was about to fall.
The maidservant beside her quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Five hundred elite soldiers, wiped out in a single fire at Liangshan?"
".....yes!"
Du Xue knelt down on the ground, his face filled with shame.
"It's all my fault! Please punish me, Madam!"
"you....."
Duan Sanniang gritted her teeth as she looked at Du Xue kneeling before her.
She never imagined that...
Back when we were in Huaixi,
As Wang Qingde's right-hand man
Help to develop and expand the Fangshan mountain village.
And later, during the attack on government-owned cities,
They also offered various suggestions and strategies.
They made a tremendous contribution!
It is because of these great achievements,
Du Xue was able to stand in front of Wang Qing.
Become the most trusted and capable leader!
But Duan San Niang really couldn't understand it.
Why did Huai Xi come up with so many clever schemes?
They were invincible and captured Du Xue.
Upon arriving in Shandong,
Unexpected problems have arisen one after another!
Is it really because Liangshan is too powerful?
Or.....
Thinking of this,
Duan Sanniang couldn't help but glance at Liu Yuan.
Previously, when Du Xue led five hundred soldiers out of the camp to ambush Liangshan,
Liu Yuan noticed that he wasn't there.
He certainly didn't hold back in speaking ill of Du Xuede.
One of them is...
Du Xue felt he had made great contributions and was always dissatisfied with Wang Qing's reward.
Seeing the strength of Liangshan this time, he might be tempted to join them.
Duan San Niang naturally didn't believe in these things at the time.
They immediately kicked Liu Yuan out.
but now,
Seeing Du Xue suffer further losses,
Duan San Niang couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
Was Du Xue really deliberately targeting the soldiers of Huaixi?
Send them to the brink of death at Liangshan!
Faced with Du Xue's apology,
Duan San Niang hesitated.
I don't know what to do.
Although she was Wang Qingde's wife
But Du Xue was, after all, one of Wang Qing's favorite generals.
He had previously made great contributions to Huaixi.
If he is punished like this,
I'm afraid the Huaixi military camp will be the first to be in turmoil.
But if it is not dealt with...
They suffered heavy losses but were not punished.
That's not the way to govern an army either.
Duan Sanniang hesitated, unsure of what to do.
Liu Yuan here,
Looking at the objects of my past jealousy,
Now they have suffered another crushing defeat.
Naturally, he couldn't help but mock them immediately.
"Hmph, I told you back then, just focus on defending the camp!"
"But some people, thinking themselves clever, insist on going out to ambush Liangshan!"
"Now so many soldiers have been lost,"
"With only this few remaining men,"
"How can we face the Liangshan army...?"
