Han Cheng measured the forces of the two sides in his heart:

There were at least 40,000 Southern Xiongnu, and now their men and horses in Yanmen County were 5,000 Qinglong battalions, 3,000 strong bow battalions, 3,000 soldiers and 3,000 recruits. At most, there are about 14,000 men and horses. The number of people on the other side is three times the number of your own.

Although he is the defender and the other party is the attacker, he really can't afford to pay for such a hard-fought bloody battle around Yanmen Pass.

So he said to Frustration: "If the Southern Xiongnu leads the army to attack Yanmen Pass, does Changshi have any good strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Frustrated, Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "My lord, is this a test for me?" Hard-to-face exchange with the other party, we can't afford to pay for it, this is the last way to do it.

Therefore, if you can use other methods, try not to use hard methods. Since ancient times, there are only three basic situations that can defeat more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak: water attack, fire attack, and lack of grain and grass.

The other side came for food and grass, and most of them were cavalry, and the plan to cut off food was not available;

There are no major rivers in the northern part of the state, and since it is winter, most of the rivers are frozen, so the water attack strategy cannot be implemented.

I think it is winter now, the weather is dry, if you store hay and other flammable materials in the Yanmen Pass, and wait for the Southern Huns to enter the pass, our side will lead them with rockets, and the Southern Huns will be in chaos. Then the Qinglong battalion took advantage of the situation to attack, and the strong bow battalion suppressed the Southern Xiongnu with bows and arrows, and the battle could be won.

So I personally think that fire attack is the best choice.

After this victory, our army will not have to worry about the invasion of the northern minorities for at least three years, and can go all out to develop its forces and lead its troops south. ”

Han Cheng said: "The fire attack strategy of Frustration Changshi is exactly what I want. Let's prepare like this first, I don't expect that in a few days, the Southern Xiongnu will attack Yanmen Pass. This time, the Southern Xiongnu will definitely be beaten, or they will not have a long memory. ”

After finishing the business, Han Cheng said embarrassedly to Frustration: "Changshi, do you say that Cai Zhaoji is interesting to me?" ”

Fu Zhu said with a blank face: "Why is the lord so suspicious? ”

Han Cheng said with a gloomy expression: "I wrote the first words to her, but she didn't give me a reply, nor did she give me a reply, do you feel that we are not suitable?" Are you embarrassed to refuse me? ”

Fu Zhu said: "Is the song that everyone Cai sang last night written by the lord? ”

Han Cheng said: "It's this one." ”

Frustrated, he slapped his forehead: My lord, a person who is usually very smart, why is he so emotionally unenlightened, like an elm gada?

Then he said: "Lord, everyone Cai has composed and sung all your words, you still don't understand what everyone Cai means?" ”

This will be Han Cheng's face confused: "What do you mean?" What does she mean? ”

"My lord, if she doesn't like you, why does she compose your words into a song and sing them every night?" What do you think everyone Cai means?

It's because I like it that I sing it. But to be honest, the words written by the lord are really good, and my family also likes words, so the lord doesn't write me two songs when he has time? ”

When Han Cheng heard it, he had to compose my words into a song that meant unity, and no one reminded me?

didn't hear what Fu Zhu said later, got up and walked to Cai Zhaoji's temporary residence next door.

Leaving only the frustration floating alone in the wind, he said, "When will I come over to get the words, my lord."

......

Han Cheng came to the door of Cai Zhaoji's residence and knocked politely.

Xiaolianzi walked over first and asked, "Who?" ”

Han Cheng said: "I am Han Cheng, and I am here to visit Miss Cai. ”

I only heard a rush of footsteps running in the courtyard, and heard Xiao Lianzi shouting: "Miss, Cheng Gongzi is here, Cheng Gongzi is here." ”

Han Cheng was so depressed, he didn't expect to eat a "closed door" as soon as he came.

After a while, a chaotic rush of broken steps came from far and near.

The door opened, and it was still the longing face and the familiar voice: "I don't know that Cheng Gongzi is coming, Zhao Ji has lost his welcome, please atone for his sins." ”

Han Cheng straightened up, recovered from the "closed door" just now, and said solemnly: "Miss Cai is serious. ”

"Cheng Gongzi, please come in, little lotus seed, hurry up and serve tea and snacks." Cai Zhaoji beckoned Han Cheng to enter the door, and arranged for the little lotus seed to serve tea and snacks.

Han Cheng was not pretentious, and walked straight into the mansion, leaving a group of guards outside the door.

As soon as Han Cheng sat down, he said, "Zhaoji, your cooking skills are good, and I love to eat dim sum, so I came to ask for a little more cheeky today." ”

Cai Zhaoji smiled slightly and said, "If Cheng Gongzi likes it, Zhaoji can make it for Gongzi to eat every day." ”

When it comes to doing it every day, a hint of ruddy unconsciously appears on his face.

As soon as Han Cheng heard Zhao Ji say that he would do it every day, he was determined in his heart, and finally knew that there was a door for Cai Zhao Ji.

said happily: "Then I will be cheeky to eat every day." ”

Cai Zhaoji said shyly: "As long as the son is willing, he can come whenever he wants." ”

Han Cheng looked at Cai Zhaoji's shy face and red ears, and said in his heart: This is really "beautiful people don't pay for their lives". You can come whenever you want, but what about at night? Hey, hey, hey...

Cai Zhaoji was ashamed in her heart, what was wrong with her, why did she see this Han Cheng and speak without going through her brain? Did you like him?

Although Han Cheng is about the same age as himself, he was born in a scholar clan and saved his life, so it can be said that he is a good match.

He is handsome, can not only lead the army, but also write poems and lyrics, both civil and military, and is indeed the best candidate for his husband.

But shouldn't you fall into it so quickly? I'm a widow, what's wrong with myself? Deep down, Choi asked herself again and told herself to be calm.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the small living room was unconsciously calmed down a lot.

Or Han Cheng spoke first: "Zhao Ji, shouldn't you send Cai Zhonglang a letter to report his safety?" There has been no news for such a long time, Cai Zhonglang will miss it. ”

Cai Zhonglang, that is, Cai Zhaoji's father - Cai Yong. After Dong Zhuo became Xiangguo, he forcibly recruited Cai Yong as a sacrificial wine. Because of cherishing Cai Yong's talent, within three days, Cai Yong was promoted to serve the imperial history, the secretary of the imperial history, the Shangshu, the servant, the Zuo Zhonglang general and other positions, and was named the Marquis of Gaoyang, so the world called Cai Yong "Cai Zhonglang".

Cai Zhaoji glanced at Han Cheng resentfully, and said in her heart: "You still know that you are worried, it's not all because of you, there has been no news for several days." ”

But he said inconsistently: "My letter to my home has been written a long time ago, but no one has sent it." ”

Han Cheng said in his heart, the opportunity to perform had come, and shouted outside the gate: "Someone." ”

A pro-soldier hurriedly ran in, Han Cheng took the letter from Cai Zhaoji's hand, handed it to the pro-soldier, and said to him: "Hurry up and arrange someone, be sure to send this letter to Cai Zhonglang's hand in Chang'an." ”

The soldier said respectfully: "No." Then he turned and departed.

Cai Zhaoji was very concerned about Han Cheng's own affairs, and the resentment in her heart was greatly reduced. said: "Thank you, Cheng Gongzi." ”

Han Cheng replied casually: "You're welcome. ”

settled down his nervous mood again, and said to Cai Zhaoji: "Zhaoji, I listened to your singing before going to bed at night recently, and I slept very well every night. I'm a little tired today, and I wonder if I can listen to you sing that song now? ”

Cai Zhaoji saw that Han Cheng said that the song was good, so she understood what Han Cheng meant, and said happily and generously: "Please wait for a while." ”

Cai Zhaoji walked to Jiaoweiqin, sat down, and her slender and white fingers fell on the qin: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace..."

After a song, Han Cheng was obsessed again. How can such a strange woman bear to give it to others?

So, Han Cheng looked at Cai Zhaoji with affection and said:

"Akihime, I've been in love with you since I first met you. The happiest thing in my life is that I met you.

You suddenly appeared in my life, as if it were destined by God. It was you who let me know that there is a person in the world who can make me do not hesitate, even if I am the enemy of the whole world.

Akihime, I love you, can you marry me? ”

Cai Zhaoji never expected General Han Cheng to confess to himself suddenly, his heart was happy and happy, and he was a little shy, so he could only say shyly in a voice smaller than a mosquito: "I am willing, Cheng Gongzi." After saying this, Cai Zhaoji regretted her identity, and hurriedly added:

"But, General, I am already someone else's wife, married to a General, the reputation of a General ... Whining. Before Cai Zhaoji finished speaking, her mouth was blocked by Han Cheng's mouth.

There is nothing more expressive of love than a kiss, and if there is, then kiss again.

With a kiss, time seemed to stop at this moment, Cai Zhaoji gradually became enthusiastic from the beginning of shyness, and gradually opened her heart.

I don't know how long it took for the two to separate.

Han Cheng said: "There is nothing but, from this moment on, you are just my Han Cheng's wife, the only wife." ”

Cai Zhaoji was anxious, "General, for the sake of a cheap concubine, you are not worthy of this, you married me, what about your reputation?" I don't want fame, I just want to be by the general's side. ”

Han Cheng looked at Cai Zhaoji's eyes with a solemn face, and said: "Zhaoji, don't worry, no one can stop me from marrying you, if the emperor stops me, I will kill the emperor; Cao Cao stopped, I killed Cao Cao. ”

Han Cheng forgot that the current Cao Cao is not very famous, and he is still Yuan Shao's subordinate, and he is still leading the men and horses to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou.

Cai Zhaoji instantly fell in love, "Han has become herself, even the emperor dares to kill, and he definitely loves what he can say."

It's just what does it have to do with Cao Cao? Although Cao Cao came to my house to study when he was a child, why did the general say that Cao Cao was in the way? Is it difficult that Cao Cao also likes himself? ”

Cai Zhaoji looked at Han Cheng so seriously, knowing that Han Cheng was sincere, and it was not easy to persuade anything, so she could only lie in Han Cheng's arms silently and enjoy this hard-won love.
