Chapter 13: Guo Huai, the Chinese military tent, designed to take the camp, and the Hu kings of Mozi Mountain agreed to enter Shu

In the military tent, Guo Huai paced back and forth. After nearly a month of fighting, the Wei army finally got covered, but after many begging surrenders and not being accepted by the Wei army, the Qiang people finally understood that the disaster of extermination was imminent. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the small Qiang tribes have migrated and merged with the large Qiang tribes, and the large Qiang tribes have also formed blood alliances and supported each other. At this time, there were nearly 20,000 elite knights of various races gathered in the moth blockage, plus some women, children, etc., nearly 1120,000 people were hoarded in the entire moth block, which was already a very dangerous situation for Guo Huai, who only had 5,000 elite soldiers on the expedition.

"Uncle, now that the thief army is strong, why don't you send soldiers and horses from the rear to come over in case of emergency?" At this time, a young general standing on Guo Huai's side asked, it was Guo Huai's nephew Guo Yi is also.

"Taiye (Guo Yibiaozi) is in the military tent in the future, and I need to be respected as a general." Guo Huai glanced at Guo Yi and said: "When I sent out the army, I only brought 5,000 men and horses, just to make the Qiang people gather together and concentrate on exterminating them, if our army has too many troops, the Qiang people will definitely flee." Since the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people have been like ringworm on the skin, and they have repeatedly caused chaos. Since I am leading the troops to quell the chaos this time, then I will take this opportunity to completely get rid of this evil disease. ”

Guo Yi hugged his fists and said: "But at present, the number of Qiang is twice that of our army, and if we fight in a hurry, I am afraid that we will not be able to win." ”

Guo Huai smiled: "I have a plan. Then he shouted: "Order the three armies, pull out the camp and retreat for thirty miles and set up camp." ”

The order was conveyed by the herald, and the entire camp suddenly became busy, Guo Yi asked puzzledly: "General, at this time, our army has won many battles, and it is the time to calm the Qiang tribe in one go, why did the general suddenly order to retreat?" ”

Guo Huai waved his hand, and was about to answer, when suddenly the herald outside the tent shouted in, bowed to the ground, and said: "Return to the general, eight hundred miles of urgent report, Jiang Wei of Shu led an army of 50,000, the soldiers went out of Qishan, traveled a hundred miles a day, and went straight to the five cities." ”

Guo Huai was not surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Jiang Wei'er really can't bear it." Then he asked, "Who is the pioneer?" Where have you been? ”

"The pioneer is Liao Hua, the general of Shu State, and he was only more than 200 miles away from the five cities when he came to explore the horse."

"Pass the order, keep an eye on every move of the Shu army, and if there is a new situation, immediately report to me."

After the herald retreated, Guo Huai smiled at Guo Yi and said: "Ten days ago, a Qiang person broke into the camp, and I expected that the Qiang people must ask for help from Shu, so it seems that it is not what I expected." ”

Guo Yi exclaimed: "Then Jiang Wei went straight to the five cities, the five cities are outnumbered, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, the five cities are lost, the Shu army will be able to drive straight in, and if it converges with the Qiang people to attack inside and outside, our army will be in danger." Why didn't the general take advantage of this opportunity to step up the capture of the moth block? ”

Guo Huai said with a smile: "If the Shu army does not come, with my 5,000 men and horses to take down such a strong village, it is not easy to say, as soon as the Shu army comes, the soldiers will break through the moth and cover it tonight." ”

At this time, in Moth Shasei, the leaders of the Qiang tribe had received the news that the reinforcements of the Shu army had set off, and the Qiang people, who had been killed by Guo Huai's army, were suddenly demoralized. Immediately after that, the Qiang people received the news that Guo Huai's army had retreated thirty miles to the village, and they thought that Guo Huai had been frightened by the Shu army, and they sneered one by one.

In the Qiang people's tent, Hu Wangzhi Wudai said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this Guo Huai dog thief was also afraid, when the reinforcements of the Shu army came, I would personally put on armor and go into battle, and twist off the head of this dog thief to avenge the blood of my Qiang compatriots." ”

Then he was hungry and the king of Hu Bai Huwen said with a smile: "Please bear with the king of Hu for the time being, and when the Shu army comes, I will go with my brother in person." ”

At this time, King Heidai of Hutong suddenly said on the side: "Now that the reinforcements are coming, Guo Huai has been scared out of the dog's guts, why don't my Qiang army take this opportunity to rob the camp overnight, I expect that Guo Huai will not be guarded." ”

Burning Hu Wang Zhi Wudai laughed when he heard this: "What King Hu said is very true, and I also have such a plan. ”

Bai Huwen was shocked and said: "Guo Huai is a famous general of Wei, not to be underestimated. According to a certain point of view, we should just wait for reinforcements, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, Guo Huai will retreat. ”

Zhi Wudai shouted: "Then I am hungry Where did King He Hu say this, now the morale of my Qiang athletes is booming, but Guo Huaijun has long been afraid, if you take this opportunity to rob the camp, you will be able to win completely." If you are hungry, King Ho Hu can stay in the tent and wait for us to return triumphantly. ”

Bai Huwen was furious when he heard this, pulled out his scimitar under his waist, and shouted: "You dare to underestimate me, don't you think that my knife is not good?" ”

Zhi Wudai also drew his sword and said, "Do you think my knife is not good?" ”

Suddenly, King Hu stepped forward one after another to separate the two. Zhi Wudai walked out of the big tent directly with a scimitar, and shouted to the soldiers on the school ground: "Qiang athletes, tell me, who burned our pasture so that we have nowhere to graze?" ”

"It's Guo Huai!" Under the leadership of Zhi Wudai's personal soldiers, the armor soldiers replied in unison.

Zhi Wudai sneered, and then asked, "Qiang athletes, tell me, who slaughtered my flesh and blood brothers of the Qiang tribe and made us like dogs buried in the family?" ”

"It's Guo Huai!" The soldiers replied in unison.

Zhi Wudai shouted again: "Then the Qiang people's athletes, who is now besieging our Qiang people, so that our Qiang people cannot graze horses and sheep on the grassland, and intend to cure our Qiang people to the Jedi?" ”

"It's Guo Huai!" The soldiers replied in unison.

Zhi Wudai sneered and asked loudly again: "Now that the reinforcements of the Shu Kingdom have set off, and now Guo Huai is ready to escape, tell me, the athletes of the Qiang people, what should I do for the good men of the Qiang people?" ”

At this time, all the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their weapons and shouted: "Kill Guo Huai!" Kill Guo Huai! ”

At this time, in the entire moth blockage, only this one voice soared into the sky, and it was so stirred that the dust flew up.

Zhi Wudai looked at the group of Qiang soldiers in front of him, and was secretly proud in his heart, if this battle is won, the situation of the Qiang people being divided can be rewritten, and the Qiang people will only have one Hu King left in the future, that is, Zhi Wudai himself.

Zhi Wudai shouted: "Now, the athletes of the Qiang people, I need you to rest well, and go with me at night to attack Guo Huai's camp at night, do you dare to follow me?" ”

Suddenly, the entire camp was boiling, and all the armor soldiers shouted: "Dare! Dare! ......" Then the soldiers gradually dispersed, and each rested to prepare for the night attack.

Bai Huwen looked at the scattered Qiang soldiers, hit the railing with hatred, and said: "Absolute Qiang inheritor, there is no way to wear it!" ”

At night, Zhi Wudai rushed into Guo Huai's camp with Qiang soldiers, but he was ambushed by Guo Huai's army. It turned out that Guo Huai evacuated the soldiers in the camp in advance, and used the straw man as the soldier on duty, and then the entire camp was covered with fire oil, and after the Qiang people went deep into the camp, they immediately burned to the bottom of the sky, and the Qiang people were ambushed and immediately scattered and fled, and countless Qiang people were killed by the fire and trampled to death by horses' hooves.

To be cured without Dai to collect the remnants of the army only more than 800 people evacuated to the moth cover when it was already dawn, but found that the whole moth cover is also thick smoke, which is planted all over the Wei army flags, the original Guo Huai made Guo Yi lead the army of five hundred, under the leadership of the Qiang people under the leadership of the Qiang people to defeat the army and open the gate of the village, and then made the deputy general Cheng Xi lead the army of 1,500 directly into the moth block, after the Wei army entered the village, set fire everywhere, so that the Qiang people in the village panicked, all of them escaped from the door, so far Guo Huai several soldiers took the moth to cover the strong city without blood.

Zhi Wudai looked at the moth covering the fortified city with the banners of the Wei army, and cried: "I regret not listening to the words of the White Tiger Gong, now that my Qiang people are defeated, the disaster of exterminating the heirs of the clan is in front of me, and my sin is also!" Then he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and wanted to kill himself, but was stopped by the guards around him.

At this moment, a sudden messenger in the distance rode a horse and reported: "Your lord, my king Baihuwen has set up camp in Mozi Mountain, thirty miles away, please join him quickly." ”

Zhi Wudai was stunned for a moment and said, "Bai Gong has set up camp in Mozi Mountain?" But how many people are there? ”

The herald said: "The king of Baihuwen at first camped with a total of 1,500 Qiang warriors, and then gradually gathered the moths to cover the fleeing clansmen, and now he has gathered nearly 40,000 people, and now the clansmen everywhere have heard the news of the king of Baihuwen have rushed over, and the king of Baihuwen said that more than 70,000 clansmen can be collected at night. ”

It turned out that Baihu Wen saw that he could not stop the night attack of the Qiang people, so he carried 1,500 Qiang soldiers and a large amount of materials in the afternoon to leave the Moth Shelter and retreat to the Mozi Mountain to observe the night attack of Wudai, and sure enough, after the defeat of Guo Huai's ambush, Bai Huwen immediately collected the Qiang people, after all, Guo Huai had fewer troops and had no time to take care of it, so that the vast majority of the Qiang people fled at night, and basically all of them were collected by Baihuwen.

Zhi Wu Dai was overjoyed, and then rushed to Mozi Mountain with the remnants of the army. When he arrived on the mountain, he saw Baihuwen from a distance, so he dismounted and bowed to the ground, crying: "I regret not listening to my brother's words, the disaster of exterminating the clan is imminent, and my sin is unforgivable." ”

Bai Huwen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Zhi Wudai and said, "I am also guilty of failing to stop my brother's night attack." Don't say much. ”

After the two of them and the king of Hu entered the account, Zhi Wudai said: "Now that our clan is defeated, can my brother have a good plan to solve this disaster?" ”

Bai Huwen was stunned for a long time, and said: "Now if we want to protect the lives of our clansmen, we have only one way, and that is to bring all the clansmen into Shu to be saved." ”

Zhiwu Dai Leng said: "In the past, the countermeasures discussed by the kings were not to falsely agree to the request of Shu to enter Shu, but now why do we want to enter Shu again?" ”

Bai Huwen sighed: "If all the 20,000 armor soldiers of my clan are here, naturally there is no need to enter Shu, and now, Xiahou Batun soldiers are wings so that our people can not respond to the left and right, and we are in a big defeat, if we refuse the request of Shu to enter Shu again, wouldn't it be the front door to reject the tiger and the back door to enter the wolf?" ”

The king of Hu discussed for a long time, and found that this was the only way for the Qiang people to live, so they wept and went out to arrange for the clansmen.

Note 1: The Baihuwen in history may not be so clever, but it is undeniable that it is indeed fortunate that the decision of Baihuwen to enter Shu allowed the Qiang people to finally recuperate.
