Chapter 39 - Tips
Zhu Xu, who came, was four years ago, after defending Xiangyang City for nearly a year, in February of the fourth year of Taiyuan when the city was broken by the Qin army when the Qin army captured the Jin Xiangyang guard, after being captured, he was sent to Chang'an, the capital of Qin, on the way to escape back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but because he did not want to drag others down and returned to Qin to surrender, Fu Jian because Zhu Xu can maintain integrity, so he appreciates him very much, not only does not pursue his crime of escaping, but appoints him as the secretary of the Duzhi.
At this moment, the former Xiangyang guard general of the Jin State, who is now the secretary of the Qin State, is inheriting the name of Fu Jian, serving as an envoy, and came to persuade the Jin army to surrender.
Everyone thought that Zhu Xu had already defected, and the person who saw him was him, although he responded to Wan Zhang's words of "old man", but no one paid attention to Zhu Zhang anymore, and stared at Zhu Xu with hostility.
A young soldier was filled with righteous indignation, but he was helpless to fight between the two armies and the rules of war of not killing the envoys, and said in a deep anger and in a low voice:
"What are you going to do?"
However, Zhu Xu did not miss the old feelings after the defection as everyone imagined, and treated the old people arrogantly and ruthlessly when the Qin army was gaining advantage in the war, but after seeing Xie An......
I actually knelt down with a plop!
Even Xie An was stunned, and the next moment he wanted to help him, but Zhu Xu silently stopped Xie An's movements, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to kneel and speak, and Xie An had no choice but to let him go.
Zhu Xu is not very old, but his voice is full of vicissitudes, and when he returns to the camp of the old country, he is as an envoy of the enemy country, no matter who he is, it may be difficult to face it.
"Prime Minister! The criminal minister Zhu Xu, knowing that he should be punished for his crimes, but today he came to the prime minister and the generals with a shy face, and it was Fu Jian who asked the ministers to persuade you to surrender, but in the past four years, the criminal ministers have been thinking about the Jin Kingdom all the time, and they only want to be able to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions today. I also hope that in the future, the prime minister will return to Jiankang Palace, and he will be able to say a few words for the guilty minister in front of the emperor, and the minister will not be a pity to die! ”
After telling him sincerely, the people in the camp were also a little angry with him, but they still had doubts about Zhu Xu's words that he had only been lying on his salary for the past four years, and he still had doubts about pretending to defect, and they were waiting to listen to his next words.
Zhu Xu collected his excitement and knew what everyone was waiting for, so he no longer continued to sensationalize, but objectively analyzed the situation of the Qin army:
"Although the Qin army has millions of people, it is still in the process of marching, and if we wait until Fu Jian's forces are concentrated, the Jin army will be difficult to resist. Now is the time to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army has not all arrived, and quickly launch an attack, as long as it can defeat its forward troops and frustrate its spirit, it can break through Qin's million-strong army! ”
Zhu Xu went straight to the topic, and really lived up to expectations, and all the people who thought he was just persuading him to surrender were stunned in shock, being in the enemy country for four years, he really had been just enduring humiliation, being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and when he had the opportunity, he regained his loyalty to the Jin State, and also provided such important news.
With these words, everyone's doubts should be dispelled, and just when the whole camp was shocked and moved at that time, only Wanzhang, looking at Zhu Xu, and then at these people who didn't believe in him, hooked the corners of his lips, and gently showed a smile.
Just when everyone was silently admiring Zhu Xu's behavior of not changing his temper because of his four years in the enemy army, Xie An had already smiled and nodded, and said lightly: "Lord Zhu is loyal to the Jin Kingdom, and he will taste his courage in lying on his salary. Then he stretched out his hand to help Zhu Xu, who had no worries after receiving the promise, and said, "At this time, it is not appropriate for the adults to stay in my camp for a long time, which makes Fu Jian suspicious, please go back quickly, we will remember what the adults said." ”
"Yes."
When Zhu Xu heard Xie An's promise, he knew that he had been re-recognized in his heart, and as long as Prime Minister Xie Cheng recognized it, it meant that he had been recognized in the Jin Kingdom, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was not in vain that he had endured humiliation for four years, and he was shamed by his former colleagues and the people for four years, and now, it can be regarded as a grievance!
But at this moment, he was also afraid that Qin Jun would be suspicious, so he could only suppress his mixed feelings, bowed to everyone again, and after getting the return of the bow, he turned around and left the tent with his wish fulfilled for the time being.
After Zhu Xu left, the people who stayed in the tent looked at the direction of Zhu Xu's departure and sighed silently, slowly recalled it, and fell on Wanzhang.
Han ...... Girl, it is really a clever calculation, young and immeasurable. ”
A burly general who had just laughed at her with disdain bowed apologetically and said with a smile.
Wanzhang hurriedly bowed back: "The general's words are serious." ”
The people who march are straightforward, straightforward and fast-hearted, and will say directly if they are dissatisfied, and will admit and apologize calmly after understanding their mistakes.
After that, Wanzhang came to Xie An, bowed his head slightly, and said lightly:
"Prime Minister, since there are the words of Lord Zhu, according to the eyes of Juzhang, our army's combat policy should also be changed, although Fu Jian has a million people, but it is just a poor army, every ten in the country will send one person as a soldier, under the age of 20 good family but all those who have martial arts, bravery, wealth, and male materials are worshiped as Yu Linlang, so gathered together, but they are all rabble, it is better for our army to turn defense into offense, and take the initiative to attack."
Xie An was silent, looking at Wanzhang who was bowing his head in front of him, and nodded silently after a while: "Not bad." Then he smiled, "Girl, tell me how you think it should be deployed." ”
Wan Zhang's eyes rolled, he didn't dodge or dodge, and he also showed a frank smile, knowing that everyone present had already seen his ability, not to mention Xie An's mention, he should also have a little prestige in their hearts, and said loudly:
"General Liu!"
Liu Gaozhi immediately took a step forward and bowed in front of Wanzhang:
"The last general!"
"You lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Luojian, but don't fight the Qin army head-on first, divide a small group of soldiers to return to the Qin army's formation, cut off its way back, and you lead your troops to cross Luoshui and storm the Qin army."
"The last general commands!"
Then he turned to Xie Xuan and Xie Yan, only to see that the two of them were looking at him with a smile on their faces, almost choking on the words in their mouths, but fortunately swallowed their saliva and survived, "Commander of the Forward, General Fuguo, you take advantage of the fact that the Qin army is in turmoil under General Liu's surprise attack, and take the opportunity to cross the river and attack its camp." ”
The two brothers Xie Xuan and Xie Yan paused for a moment very tacitly, then looked at each other, and they all looked at Wanzhang with unpredictable expressions, then arched their hands and said with a smile:
“…… Be. ”
Early the next morning, Xie Xuan, Xie Yan, Liu Gaozhi and others had already brought their own troops, dressed their horses, and stood at the gate of the Jin camp waiting to say goodbye to Xie An.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Beifu were ready to go, heroic and cool, the camp was hunting with flags, and the atmosphere was high-pitched, and soon after, Xie Anfang and Wanzhang came slowly surrounded by a group of people.
Seeing Xie An coming, the people who were originally riding on war horses dismounted and saluted, and the shouts resounded through the sky:
"See the Prime Minister!"
Xie An smiled gently at everyone, and waved his hand to signal: "Everyone, this battle depends on you more." ”
Subsequently, the dignified prime minister actually bowed to the ordinary soldiers, not to mention that those Beifu soldiers who used to have a luxury of even being warm and full were stunned, and even Wanzhang was stunned.
Xie An, if she was really a romantic prime minister, she could also understand the deep meaning of the widely circulated sentence "An Shi refuses to come out, it will be like the world".
Eastern Jin Dynasty, it must be Xie An.
However, thinking of his ending, Wanzhang couldn't help but sigh.
Lowering her eyes, Wan Zhang walked in front of Xie Yan without changing her color and heartbeat under the eyes of everyone, she could naturally feel the gaze of the people next to her, especially Xie Xuan, who had always been lively and not a big deal, but at this time, she couldn't take care of it.
Seeing that it was the first time that she came to look for her so disregarding others, Xie Yan also knew that she must have something to do, so she cooperated and followed Wanzhang to the edge of the army.
"Zhang'er ......"
Xie Yan's voice was a little puzzled.
Wan Zhang didn't want to delay so many people's time anymore, so he stopped pretending to be mysterious, and took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Yan.
"This tip...... If you can't cross the water, you can open it again, and you will have your own plan inside. ”
"Okay." Xie Yan cherished the bag, suddenly looked at her intently, and after a long time, asked in a deep voice, "Zhang'er, besides that, you have nothing to say to me?" After another pause, he added, "You seem to have been avoiding me these days." ”
Wanzhang was silent for a moment, Xie Yan didn't say that she didn't care about it yet, as soon as she said that she really found out, for several days, I don't know when she started to reduce contact with him, intentionally or unintentionally, why did she do this? It's because ...... Because of the nightmare for days?
Because she clearly knew that after this battle, she would leave him who had been with him for three years, return to Murong Chong's side, and do her mission to assist him.
"Is there one? Why don't I feel it? Wanzhang smiled lightly at him, at this moment, the last thing he could do for him was to let him win this battle without distractions, "It may be that the war is chaotic, there are too many things." Let's go back quickly, don't keep everyone waiting. ”
Xie Yan has been looking at her with that kind of unhesitating eyes, the more he is like this, the more Wanzhang can't face him, and his eyes no longer dare to look at him, and after a long time, he heard his voice slowly sounding:
"Okay."
Returning to the large army, everyone stared at the two ambiguously, Xie Xuan laughed twice, and teased loudly: "Brother Yan and Miss Wanzhang have a lot to say, but at this time, you should still focus on the war, if there are more, you might as well wait until you return from victory, and let your uncle preside over the wedding for you, at that time, the cave room will spend candle night, isn't it too late to say it?" ”
"Haha......"
Everyone present couldn't help laughing, it could be regarded as a small relaxation before the expedition, Wanzhang was silent, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Xie Yan laughing with everyone, looking like he had already acquiesced, and Xie An also acquiesced, at this moment, any ruler with a bit of brains will not ruin everyone's interest no matter what.
