The person who spoke was He Hun Leopard.

He Hun asked, "What can you do?" ”

He Hun Leopard said: "The Heavenly King is now stationed on the south bank of Jishui, and he has been unable to attack Ye County in the west for a long time, as the Heavenly King Shicai said, it is for two reasons. One is that Murong Zhan is stationed after our army, and the other is because there is Murong Quan's department in front of him.

"Thinking about Murong Quan, it's just a son, why worry about it? Because of this, I think that the focus of these two reasons is really Murong Zhan! And if you want to defeat Murong Zhan, in my opinion, it is very simple, so why do you need any good strategy? I don't need too many soldiers and horses, I only need my own elite soldiers, and within five days at most, I can take the head of the Heavenly King and return! ”

He Hun frowned and said, "Within five days? Although Murong Zhan was defeated by me, he is a famous general of the pseudo-Wei in the end, and he has almost no defeat in the past few decades, and there are still more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the pseudo-Wei in his subordinates, and they are all tigers! How do you know for sure? ”

"Although Murong Zhan is a famous pseudo-Wei general, although there are still more than 20,000 pseudo-Wei soldiers under his account, I have two 'winning'."

"Which two will win?"

He Hun leopard's green eyes showed a cunning light, he touched the yellow beard under his chin, and said: "Murong Zhan is a defeated general under the Heavenly King, in the battle of Gucheng, the Heavenly King beat him to the ground, he is already a fearless dog, this is one of the victories; The soldiers and soldiers under Murong Zhan's tent, most of their families are in Ye County, Murong Yan abandoned Ye and fled north a few days ago, and the families of the soldiers under Murong Zhan's account were either forced to flee north with Murong Yan, or they were abandoned by Murong Yan and stayed in this lonely city of Ye, it is conceivable that those soldiers under his account, at this moment, must be panicked and the army has no fighting spirit, it is not only that they are not courageous, but also lose their homes! This is the second thing I will win! ”

When He Hun leopard was young, he showed his cruel side, no sympathy and pity, like hunting, wandering, especially good at playing with slingshots, hunting, he often did not catapult beasts, but the entourage as prey, deliberately bounced, whenever there was an entourage blinded by him, or when he was shot and bloody, he would laugh happily, and later brought this evil deed to the army, not to mention ordinary soldiers, that is, He Hun evil tent under the generals, there are also many poisoned by it. He Hun was very disgusted with him at that time, and once he had a murderous intent and wanted to kill him, but because of his mother's persuasion, he was spared his life.

But I didn't expect that it was really like what He Hun's evil mother said, when the fast ox is a calf, it can break the car, and when it grows up, it can be of great use. Sure enough, He Hun leopard stayed until he reached adulthood, but it was a broken festival, although cruelty was still cruel, but in governing the army and using soldiers, it seemed to be God-granted. He Hun changed his old view of him, no longer disliked him, and trusted Mi Long.

At this time, after listening to He Hun Leopard's words, He Hun unconsciously showed his face, and said with a smile to Diao Qian, Zhang Shi and others: "What is my son? ”

He Hun Leopard is He Hun's son, because he believes in his martial arts and military talents, He Hun sometimes calls him "son".

Speaking of which, judging from the brutality and easy killing, He Hun and He Hun Leopard are really quite like father and son, but He Hun is old after all, and has been in the top position for a long time, but the city is much deeper than He Hun Leopard, and his good killing is not as direct on his face as He Hun Leopard, he gives people the feeling that he is more moody.

Although Diao Qian is the head of the four Zuo of the Tongfu, he is very afraid of He Hun Leopard and He Hun Evil, especially He Hun Evil, which is afraid to the bones, in front of He Hun Evil, there is no prestige when he goes out to lead troops, and he hurriedly laughs at the moment, flattering and saying: "Heavenly King Shengming, Qi Gong is resourceful, and they are not comparable to ministers!" ”

He Hun Leopard laid down Qingzhou for He Hun evil, in order to commend and reward his merits, not long ago, He Hun Xie named him as the "Duke of Qi", and gave him Qi County in Qingzhou as a fief.

He Hun asked Zhang Shi and said, "Right Hou, what do you think of the leopard's strategy?" ”

Zhang Shi groaned and said, "As Qi Gong's analysis is, Murong Zhan's troops should indeed be demoralized now. ”

"Then follow the leopard's policy, how about it?"

"You can give it a try."

He Hun Xie convened his subordinates in the Zhou Shouting Pavilion in the northeast of Gucheng County tonight, and the content of the military discussion was the same as that of Pu Mao and Meng Lang who were far away in Luoyang City at about the same time, and it was also to discuss how to preempt the other party and take Yecheng. Limited to the disadvantage of geographical advantages, Zhang Shi, Diao Qian, etc. have nothing to do, so there is this advice from He Hun Leopard. Since the lame man picked the general, he decided to use the method of He Hun Leopard, and the night was dark, and Zhang Shi and the others also said goodbye and retired.

Out of He Hun's spacious handsome account, Zhang Shi, Diao Qian, and the other two of the four Zuo of the Tongfu, Wang Ao, the chief bookkeeper Xu Ming, as well as He Hun's leopard and several other civil and military ministers under He Hun's evil, bid farewell to each other, and each returned to the account.

Stepping on the deep moonlight, Zhang Shi slowly got into the car, and under the service of the two little slaves, slowly walked to his tent. After walking a few steps, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Zhang Shi looked back, laughed, and said, "Yaya, I knew it was you!" ”

"Yaya", the meaning of many Yashi and cleanliness, is the small character of Xu Ming, the main book of Xu Ming. Xu Ming is burly, bearded, and in his forties, and has such a cute nickname, which is also a good match.

In the dead of night, the soldiers in the camp had long since rested.

In the passage between the gray tents, there was no one but the patrol soldiers who passed by by accidentally with torches.

Xu Ming looked closer to the left and saw no other people, so he lowered his voice and asked Zhang Shi, saying, "Right Hou, just now, the king asked you, what is the strategy offered by Duke Qi?" You hesitated. I peeked at you, and I didn't seem to approve of it. But why did you finally reply to the king, saying that you could give it a try? ”

"You're really clever."

Xu Ming ignored Zhang's jokes, and said solemnly: "Right Hou, soldiers, big things, especially at the moment, our army has just left Xuzhou, although it has conquered Qingzhou and occupied the Taiban County of Yanzhou, but after all, our army has a slightly shallow foundation, there is a pseudo-Wei in the northwest that still has strength, there is a pseudo-Qin in the southwest who coerces millions of people in Guanzhong, and the south is the Tang family entrenched in the left side of the river. Since you don't agree with Qi Gong's suggestion, why don't you bring it up to the king? ”

Zhang Shi did not answer him immediately, took his hand, and went to his tent with him.

The two sat down in accordance with Tang etiquette.

Zhang Shi asked the attendant to guard outside the tent, and then he sighed, and instead of calling Xu Ming's small character, he changed it to calling him, stroked his beard and said to him: "Liangda, how can I not know that the foundation of our army is quite shallow?" If you're not careful, you'll lose everything? But Liangda, the king's ambition, you also know. The king has always hoped to be able to follow the Xiongnu Zhao and Xianbei Murong after the Central Plains, build the country as the emperor, and achieve great achievements, and now, the king has been hiding in Xuzhou for 20 years! As soon as the army is raised today, his expectation is like the water of the big river, rushing and uncontrollable! Therefore, he was eager to seize the front of the puppet Qin and capture Ye County.

"The king's eagerness to get Ye County is what you and I saw with our own eyes when we were in the tent. You and I have no good plan to relieve the Lord's worries, and Qi Gong has a plan, how can you and I criticize again? Give [Yoyo Reading xt.xyz] to stop? ”

"But if the Duke of Qi is defeated?"

"I've thought about it carefully, there are still a lot of subordinates under Murong Zhan's account, if he is determined to defend and refuses to fight, Duke Qi may not be able to defeat him, but he should not be defeated." Zhang Shi put down his hand stroking his beard, picked up the cold water on the case, drank half a sip, and then said, "This is why although I don't agree with Qi Gong's suggestion, I didn't dissuade the king. ”

Xu Ming nodded and said, "I see! If so, I understand. ”

Seeing that Xu Ming's expression changed from nervous and dissatisfied to relaxed, Zhang Shi thought in his heart: "Xu Liangda is really loyal to the king. ”

But he also knows why Xu Ming will still be loyal to him despite He Hun's cruelty, in fact, the reason why Zhang Shi himself is loyal to He Hun's evil is the same.

That is: in order to help consolidate power, He Hun is generally more concerned about the interests of the big landlords and Dashi clans in Xuzhou such as Zhang Shi and Xu Ming. For Zhang Shi and Xu Ming, whether it is the Tang Dynasty earlier, or the Xiongnu Zhao Clan, the Xianbei Murong Clan, and the current Xiongnu He Hun Evil, no matter who is in charge, as long as their interests are not damaged, it doesn't matter.

Zhang Shi remembered something and said: "I only learned yesterday that when Qi Gongqian was in Qingzhou, for some reason, he sent someone back to Xuzhou and killed his wife. His wife is the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, and the Cui family is a family friend of my family and your family, so you and I have to make some statements about it. ”

Xu Ming was surprised and said, "Duke Qi killed his wife again and killed the Cui family?" ”

"yes. After the king learned about it, he didn't punish Duke Qi, Liangda, in this case, I think that our two expressions should not be too heavy, it is better to write a letter jointly and send it to Cui's house, and have the right to make some condolences, how about it? ”

Xu Ming was silent for a long time.

Zhang Shi asked, "Does Qing have other ideas?" ”

Xu Ming said: "I don't have any other ideas. ”

"And what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, fortunately, the prince is not like the Duke of Qi, the right marquis, if the prince is the same as the Duke of Qi, then our life will really not be able to live!"

He Hun's eldest son, after He Hun established himself as the king of heaven, He Hunguang, who was set up as the son of the world, is different from He Hun evil and He Hun leopard, about this is also a few generations after the Hu people moved into the mainland, it is usually visible, but it is similar to Pu Mao's temperament, admiring the culture of the Tang people, tireless since childhood, vain love for the scholar, good for Wen Yong, its intimacy, is not Confucianism, take He Hun evil words, "not like the son of the family", and the wild and untamed breath of the Hu is incompatible, but like the Tang family's scholars.

This time, He Hun sent troops and did not take He Hun Guang with him, leaving him in Xuzhou to pacify the rear.

Zhang Shi smiled and didn't answer.

He thought: "I am a descendant of China, who was a hairpin in the previous dynasty, and now I eat Hulu, and I am in the company of birds and beasts, and I have no choice but to listen. Whether the king is unpredictable, whether the Duke of Qi is murderous and brutal, or the prince is elegant, it is nothing more than this troubled era, and my generation has the right to protect the family. ”

Looking out at the night outside the tent, the black reflection of the tent was stretched out on the sandy ground in the moonlight.

The dim black shadow, silent.

……

The moonlight is like water, clear and pleasant.

From the Yellow River, the south of Jishui Zhoushouting to the southwest, through Suishui, Yingshui, Rushui, out of the Runan County of Yuzhou, and then through the Huaishui, over several rivers such as Zhuanshui, Shuishui, etc., about 1,300 miles up and down, is the north bank of the Yangtze River, the south county where Jingzhou Prefecture is located.

Nanjun is far away from Jibei, but not very far from Luoyang, only more than 600 miles.

The military report of Pu Mao's capture of Luoyang was rushed to Huan Meng's hands a few days ago.

On the night of the same day, Huan Meng couldn't sleep for a long time, saw the moonlight in front of the bed like empty water, so he put on his clothes and went out of the room, admired the moon and played, for a long time, he walked on the verandah, took off a long sword from the Lan Qi in the corridor, and danced alone in the court.

The sword was like frost, dancing, bright and dazzling.

Huan Meng advanced and retreated, dancing faster and faster, and the embroidered robe fell to the ground, and he didn't even realize it. Suddenly, the tip of the sword stabbed into the night sky. The moon in the sky is like a hook, and the sword in his hand is cold. Huan Meng maintained this posture for a long time, and finally put the sword into the sheath, stroked the hilt of the sword and sighed: "When will my sword be like this, the cold will be in the world!" ”

Although he was ambitious and not trusted by the imperial court, he felt that he was like a dragon trapped in a shallow pond.

However, just watching the tripartite melee between Qin, Wei, and He Hun, and doing nothing by himself, did the great opportunity to recover the Central Plains disappear? How could Huan Meng be willing! He set his sights on the direction of Yangzhou in the northeast, Yin Dang, should be about to send troops.
