Chapter Ninety-Three: Their Calculations
The Xianbei people were wreaking havoc in the Wuhuan crowd, while the Han army not far behind was still walking slowly.
"Zhang Chen, are you reliable in doing this?" Niu Kuiying held a weed in his mouth and asked Zhang Chen beside him with a tangled expression.
"Are you feeling sorry for the Wuhuan people?" Zhang Chen's face was calm, and his tone was still so disapproving.
"That's a life, too." Niu Kuiying had some sighs.
Before, Zhang Chen and Fan Ze came to rescue him, and in addition to the soldiers and horses, there was also a secret letter from Li Hao.
The letter did not explain what the specific matter was, but asked him to listen to Zhang Chen's words and act in everything.
So in the end, there were two armies divided into formations, with the Wuhuan people in front and the Han army behind, and there were miles in between.
Niu Kuiying didn't know why Zhang Chen arranged it this way, until the scout brought Kebi Neng and killed him straight for some reason, especially when he knew that Kebi Neng was going to impact Wuhuan soon, Niu Kuiying heard the order to "rest on the spot".
At this moment, Niu Kuiying, who was not stupid, finally knew Li Hao's plan.
"How did Xiu Qi know?" Listening to the scout's report, Niu Kuiying finally asked the question in his heart.
"Hey, hey..."
In Gaoliu City in Youzhou, Tian Yu also asked this question, "Why is Xiu Qi so confident, Ke Bineng will do this, this can almost be regarded as a sacrifice of his life." ”
Li Hao was drinking tea soup next to him, and recently Fan A said that he was not in good shape and couldn't always drink, so Tian Yu banned the wine for him.
"What does General Tian think of Kebineng?"
"Ke Bineng..."Tian Yu blinked his eyes and let out a long sigh, "It's also an old opponent, according to his conscience, if he is not a foreign race and is not tolerated by the Central Plains, otherwise with his heart and ability, there must be his stroke on the land of the Central Plains!" ”
Li Hao's teacup paused for a moment, and when he heard Tian Yu praise Na Ke Bineng so much, his heart felt a little flustered.
"General Tian, do you like Na Ke Neng so much?"
"Why not Xiuqi?" Tian Yu smiled faintly, "Kebineng, although this person is a humble body, the world in his heart will never be limited to that grassland!" ”
"Ke Bineng, can't he still try to get involved in my Central Plains!" Li Hao sneered, "If he really dares to have this heart, he will give him a ride when he goes back!" ”
"Xiu Qi is playing tricks on the old man's words!" Tian Yu looked at Li Hao with a smile on his face, "It's obviously the old man who asks you again, how can you kid play with the old man like this?" ”
"Hehe, General Tian forgive me!" Li Hao lowered his head very obediently, "A certain has already made things so obvious, if Na Kebineng still doesn't see the problem, then his grassland fox is too unworthy of his name." ”
"Hmph, Xiu Qi is very confident, aren't you afraid that he will see that it's your trick?"
"Of course he can see it, but does he have a choice?" Li Hao took a sip of strong tea as if he was drinking, "Whether he wants to cross the seclusion and plug the outside world or try to get involved in the Central Plains, he will definitely not be able to get around the level of my Han Tianwei." ”
"So, Xiu Qi gave Kebi such a great opportunity?" Tian Yu looked at Li Hao, who was breezy and calm, and his eyes also flashed, "But those are Wuhuan people, not my Han soldiers!" ”
"My Han general, even if he is old, weak, sick and disabled, I'm afraid he can't dare to collide with the current Kebi!" Li Hao's face was still kind and happy, but the words he said were indeed arrogant.
"Hehe, you said... It's right, too! Tian Yu, who looked at the Confucian generals, actually admitted unceremoniously, "It's just a group of Wuhuan people, is it useful for Na Kebineng?" ”
"That's what Kebineng is all about!" Li Hao's kind smile looked so natural, "I think with Kebineng's ability, it is not difficult to do this." ”
"Hehe..."Tian Yu looked at Li Hao opposite, "There is another problem, if you do this, Wuhuan will definitely lose a lot, you are not afraid... Is it detrimental to yin morality? ”
"I thought that General Tian would ask, and I was not afraid of making a riot in Wuhuan."
"Hmph, little Wuhuan, if you dare to make any changes, you can destroy it, and it will save trouble!" Tian Yu said this kind of extermination in a flat tone, which once again made people feel "Han Tianwei!" ”
"Just as General Tian said, the little Wuhuan is also worthy of letting a certain family damage Yin Virtue!"
"Haha, well said! Xiu Qi is a good talent, and that little Wuhuan alien race is also worthy of making Xiu Qi Yin Virtue damaged! ”
"Hehe..." Li Hao's kind face once again had a look called humility, but he didn't deny it.
"The last question..."Tian Yu said slowly, "Those old and weak people in our mouths must have something extraordinary, otherwise that person would definitely not have done this, Xiu Qi is really not afraid that Kebi can capsize in the gutter?" ”
"If their sons and nephews are still imprisoned by Lou Ban, it is really hard to say that Kebineng's remnants of the defeated army can break those who dare to die, but now, a group of people are gone, in addition to thinking about protecting their relatives and escaping, what else can they do not fear death, as for those young and strong, it is a pity that they have not formed an army, and they are full of hatred but have no way."
"Xiu Qi, you vicious methods... Tian Yu looked at Li Hao, who had a kind face on his face, if he hadn't been by his side, he would never have imagined that such a perennial smiling and amiable scholar would be so ruthless.
"General Tian," Hearing the words that didn't know if it was a compliment, Li Hao stopped Tian Yu instead of being happy, "This method is not created by a certain person, and Li is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom." ”
"Oh, could it be..."Tian Yu is not good at saying that name, the poison of the world, but it is possible to leave some poisonous schemes.
"General Tian thinks it's bad!" Li Hao smiled, "A few days ago, someone went to Bingzhou to check some things, and this strategy also happened to be known!" ”
Tian Yu wanted to continue to ask, but Li Hao kept silent, and had no choice but to drink silently.
What Tian Yu didn't see was that when Li Hao lowered his head to drink tea, there was a flash of fierceness under the smile on his face that seemed to never linger.
At this time, on the grassland, the slaughter of Xianbei is basically coming to an end, and the corpses are all over the place, most of them are old and weak, although under their desperate resistance, they also killed several Xianbei people, but this does not change anything at all, Qingzhuang tried to rush out for help, was shot, tried to fight with them, but in front of the Xianbei people, he was like a child who would only be foolishly played by them, and then slashed and killed on the spot.
Slowly, there were fewer and fewer Wuhuan people, and the faces of the Xianbei people became more and more hideous, and even the blood in their eyes became thicker and thicker.
"Almost!" Kebineng and Zhang Chen in the distance made this sound almost at the same time.
Kebineng felt that it was almost to the limit of what the Han army could endure himself, before he only had a vague feeling that the Han army was luring him to do so, knowing that he had started the massacre, it had been like this for a while, the Han army had not appeared, Kebineng knew that he had guessed correctly, but looking at the few remaining enemies now, Kebi Neng knew that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Withdraw!" Kebi can greet his subordinates, although the Xianbei people have been killed, but obeying the orders of their leader has been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Suppressing the tyrannical feelings in his heart, he followed his leader, that is, Kebineng, and rushed out, and rushed into the Saibei steppe in a big circle.
Zhang Chen also shouted the latest order, "All cavalry, follow so-and-so, go and pursue!" ”
More than a thousand Han troops charged again with great momentum, rushing to the battlefield only a few miles away, and as the battlefield got closer and closer, Zhang Chen's eyes became deeper and deeper.
When Zhang Chen saw the first corpse, Zhang Chen's eyes shrank suddenly, for him, the corpse was not terrible, but the state of the corpse was the reason for his heart.
The corpse was crawling on the ground, with an arrow in his heart, and his entire clothes were soaked with blood, but what made Zhang Chen take a fancy was not the cause of his death, but because he had no head!
As they ran and the others, more and more corpses appeared in front of them.
There is a saying in the army, "If there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundary!" That is to say, once the army exceeds 10,000 people, it looks like it is boundless from a distance!
And what if it's almost 10,000 corpses? Zhang Chen can tell you the answer now, the corpses are in a vast area, and the bones are piled up in a mountain, this is a common saying, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see this with my own eyes today.
Zhang Chen, who was slowly slowing down, really didn't know whether to get off the horse or not, not because he was arrogant and there were only corpses on this big battlefield, so he couldn't get off at all.
"Why are you waiting?" A surviving Wuhuan young man yelled at Zhang Chen, it was the young man who had a longing for Dahan before, his father had just been hacked to death on the spot in the chaos of the army.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Zhang Chen did not have the slightest quibble, and admitted his mistakes very happily.
"I'm sorry!" The young man smiled miserably, "Our relatives died here, in front of our eyes, you just say sorry!" ”
"That boy!" A lieutenant general beside Zhang Chen was unceremonious to him, "We were also calculated by that Kebineng's tricks, and for the sake of your safety, you gave up the army and rode lightly, you can see how much risk you have taken!" ”
When those Wuhuan people heard the words of the deputy general, although they didn't know how much they believed, the anger on their faces towards Zhang Chen and the others was indeed reduced by one point.
Zhang Chen saw that they were a little calmer, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "I have already found out, the person who raided you and others is also the Xianbei Kebineng, and today you have suffered heavy losses, this is the fault of a certain family, and a certain will never deny it, after returning to Youzhou, a certain will ask for punishment, and then you and others will come to watch!"
As for now, you will accept our treatment first, and you will not be able to take revenge just by waiting for the way you are now! ”
The remnant Wuhuan people, hearing Zhang Chen's words, had a slight light in their eyes again, "Revenge!" Can I still find Kebi to take revenge? ”
"Kebi can provoke my Han Tianwei, my Han family man has something to say, and those who dare to offend the Han will be punished even if they are far away!" Zhang Chen rode his horse in front of them and waved his arm, "A certain person has sent a message to Youzhou, let them send Zizhong dry food, wait, if you want revenge, join us, follow us, go and chop off that Kebineng's head!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Han rider behind also waved his arms and shouted loudly, and gradually, there were some other people's voices in this shout, and gradually the Wuhuan people also shouted.
Zhang Chen looked at this scene, the smile on his face slowly bloomed, and he began to ponder in his heart, "Li Xiuqi, if it is really as you say, then I have to avenge the little junior brother's revenge!" ”
Not long after, the Han soldiers who were left behind ran over panting, although they were all pretending to be old and weak, and they were not very good at fighting, but bandaging wounds and cleaning up corpses were indeed very skillful, perhaps this is also a necessary skill in troubled times.
"Boss Niu!" Sang Gan walked up to Niu Kuiying, who was holding the weeds, "I just heard the news that General Zhang wants to take those Wuhuan people to pursue Kebineng. ”
"Ah, I know..."Niu Kuiying looked at the group of Wuhuan people who were silently and accepted the bandage, and looked at Zhang Chen, who was watching coldly, a question in his mind had been tormenting him, "Use people's pain to speed up the army, is this method of folding life really come up with by Li Hao!" ”
"Boss Niu!" Sang Gan patted Niu Kuiying and brought him back to his senses when he was distracted.
"What?" Niu Kuiying looked at Sang Gan with a look of hope on his face: "Do you want to intercede for Kebineng, or do you want to follow him over and stab him?" ”
"Hehe..."Sang Gan, who should have been told what was on his mind, sneered at Niu Kuiying, "I'm the one who is the boss of the cow, how can I plead for Na Kebi?" ”
"So what?"
"Kebineng, you dare to offend my Han Tianwei, I want to take that guy's head back and give it to Boss Niu, so that the big man knows our loyalty!"
"Are they all willing?" Niu Kuiying looked at Sang Gan in front of him with a strange expression, how did this guy who has always belonged to the coldest guy by his side become as scoundrel as everyone else after experiencing this life and death!
"Of course! We are all people who want to be a big man! Sang Gan's righteous tone, coupled with the decency of that face, how awkward Niu Kuiying looked.
"Okay, go and talk to Zhang Chen, let's go and prepare!" Niu Kuiying finally relented, of course, he was not very relieved that Zhang Chen would take these guys who were herdsmen to the battlefield like this, although the Wuhuan people can also be regarded as a race where all the people are soldiers, but compared with the war-torn warriors, it is still very different.
"Yes!" After listening to Niu Kuiying, Sang Gan was happy, and ran back happily.
Niu Kuiying shook his head and muttered something like "strange" and went to discuss with Zhang Chen.
They returned to their resting place, and told these words to their comrades, and heard that there were still people fighting, some of them were helpless, but more of them were still impulsive and excited.
After all, if you have an enemy, you will have military merit, and with military merit you can have everything.
Looking at the excited crowd, Sang Gan also walked to the back with a smile on his face, it was the corpse of their comrades, and they couldn't let them show their corpses in the wilderness, so they drove them all back.
Sangan walked to a corner, walked to the corpse of a middle-aged man, and looked at the eyes that had been closed, the stubble that was still prickly, and the face that had already shown a slight old age.
"Uncle, you are also gone, there are really only a few of us left among our hundreds of abandoned sons at the beginning, maybe after a while, a few of us will fall again, or maybe all of them will fall."
Sang Gan, who was holding the middle-aged man's weak big hand and chattering, suddenly leaned into the corpse's ear, "But our hatred will not be forgotten, you are right, we only have one chance, we are not completely sure, even if I wait for death to be clean, I will never do it, you, rest assured!" ”
After saying this, Sanggan stood up, and Sanggan, who stood up again, regained his happy appearance, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he was afraid that his eyes would betray him.
When Niu Kuiying summoned them to gather, Sang Gan had already returned to normal, looking at Sang Gan with an indifferent face in an excited or helpless crowd, Niu Kuiying muttered, "That's right." ”
"I'm going to go back to the prairie now!" Zhang Chen waved his arms on the horse and shouted at the cavalry, "Youzhou will answer us and others, the big man will shelter us and others, and you will follow a certain person to cut off the head of the Kebineng who bullied us!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Along with Zhang Chen's words, the loud shouts of killing also appeared again.
It was even more with Zhang Chen's "Go!" ”
Five thousand seemingly chaotic but murderous Han troops rushed to the grassland.
Kebineng is also on the run now, he wants to return to his tribe as soon as possible, his tribe has grown a lot recently, and gradually takes root in this grassland.
Along the way, Kebineng didn't figure out what the Han people were doing this for, and he and Tian Yu were also old rivals, but this was the first time that he had a feeling of being confused.
"Isn't it the Han scholar who can't understand something?" A scholar suddenly appeared in Kobineng's mind, or rather a person who made it hard for him to forget, but felt that he had nothing to remember.
"Chief, what did you just say?" The lock next to Kebineng didn't hear what he said.
"It's okay" Kebineng shook his head and expelled those who couldn't figure it out from Du Cong's head, "I'll return to the tribe in a while, don't care about the others, gather the people of the tribe as soon as possible!" ”
"Chief!" The lock was stunned by Kebineng's words, "Why are you doing this!" ”
"If we run slowly, we won't be able to walk!"
"It's not easy to break!" This bold remark of the lock made Kebi stunned!
He suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong again!
