Sometimes, it is a terrible thing to have a "preconceived" idea in your head, and people can be misled unknowingly, and eventually lead to irreparable fatal mistakes.

For example, now, Bagen and Wang Quan both had a preconceived idea that the attacking army was only a small number of troops under He Zhang's command, and after discovering the various "flaws" shown by He Zhang's sneak attack, they naturally made up a lot of seemingly reasonable content in their minds, and the inherent concepts in their hearts became more and more firm.

However, as the saying goes, "when the fake is true, it is also false, and when it is false, it is also true", and there is also a saying in "The Art of War" that "fiction is real".

said that after Bagen and Wang Quan thought they had guessed the truth, they both sneered in their hearts, thinking that He Zhang's bluffing strategy was too superficial, but under their discernment, it was instantly exposed!

Bagen sneered and said: "It is said that He Zhangnai is a famous general in Shaanxi and Gansu, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!" Such a simple strategy can only fool some fools, and a truly smart person can see through his true intentions at a glance! ”

As he spoke, a hint of arrogance flashed in Bagan's eyes, apparently claiming to be a "truly smart person".

After seeing Ba Gen's performance, Wang Quan hurriedly laughed and said: "This He Zhang said that he is a famous general in Shaanxi and Gansu, but how cowardly and incompetent is the Han border army?" He Zhang, a famous general, is just a general among the dwarfs! When encountering a real famous general like Lord Bagen, it is naturally far inferior to ...... However, when he encountered the Mongolian right-wing tribes over the years, he has always been undefeated, which shows that the leaders of the Mongolian right-wing tribes are also far from the same as Lord Bagen! ”

Wang Quan cleared the gap between the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes, and he had seen the rivalry between Bagen and Zigmu many times these days, so he not only praised Bagen at this time, but also took the opportunity to belittle the Mongolian right-wing tribes.

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Quan's words, the corners of Bagen's mouth couldn't help but flash a smile.

Because of He Zhang's repeated troubles, Bagen's mood was originally a little bad, but now it has improved a lot!

However, after all, Bagen was the commander of the Mongol coalition army and the confidant of the Great Khan of Geldan, and he would not get carried away because of Wang Quan's few words, so he quickly sorted out his mood, his expression became serious again, and he said slowly: "Now it is certain that whether it is the disappearance of Tanma or the attack on the camp tonight, it is all done by this He Zhang!" Just like Mr. Wang said, he just wanted to lay out the maze of the formation, so that the Mongol coalition army was tied up and had scruples, and did not dare to let go of the attack on Jiezhou City, so as to relieve the pressure on Jiezhou City! Today's sneak attack on the camp of the Han cavalry is less than 1,000 people, from which it can also be seen that Mr. Wang's intelligence is correct, his troops are definitely not much, not a big trouble for us, but if he is allowed to do whatever he wants, it is also a big trouble, maybe when he will run out of the way, so it is best to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible! ”

Wang Quan nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, you must not delay the plan of the Mongolian coalition army because of this He Zhang, if you get rid of this He Zhang, Lord Bagen, there is another benefit - He Zhang is a famous general in Shaanxi and Gansu, this person's courage and good fighting are also very famous in Shaanxi and Gansu, if you cut off his head, it will definitely be able to greatly shake the morale of the defenders of Jiezhou City, and it will be easier to capture Jiezhou City in the future!" …… However, He Zhang's strength is only two or three thousand people, if he does not dare to confront the Mongolian army head-on, and just hides in Tibet, no matter how strong the Mongolian army is, it will be like a tiger swatting flies with nowhere to exert force! ”

Seeing Wang Quan's dedication to the Mongolian coalition army, Bagen nodded appreciatively, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then suddenly confirmed to Wang Quan: "Are you sure that He Zhang's leading troops to aid Jiezhou City is only his personal decision, and it has nothing to do with the Han Guyuan Military Town?" Is Guyuan Military Town sure that it will not support him? ”

Wang Quan still nodded with affirmation on his face and said: "The villain is sure that He Zhang's actions have nothing to do with Guyuan Military Town, and Guyuan Military Town will definitely not support He Zhang!" Not to mention the style of Guyuan Military Town, which has always been cowardly, this He Zhang and the high-level military attache of Guyuan Military Town have always been incompatible, and he is often suppressed by Fang Zhenshan, the chief soldier of Guyuan, and he often embarrasses Fang Zhenshan in person, the relationship between the two has already been like fire and water, if Lord Bagen kills He Zhang this time, it is too late for Guyuan Military Town to be secretly happy, how can he send troops to support? ”

Bagen nodded slowly: "Since that's the case, then I'm relieved...... He Zhang wanted to delay the Mongol army's offensive on Jiezhou City, but his own troops were insufficient, and it was not enough to threaten the foundation of the Mongol army, at best, it was only frequent harassment, and the means were nothing more than intercepting and killing Tanma, attacking the camp at night, etc., in this case, it was easy to arrange an ambush, so that he would not return! At that time, I will repay this person's humiliation to the Mongol coalition army a thousand times over! ”

Speaking of the back, Bagan looked murderous and resolute!

*

And just when Bagen wanted to calculate He Zhang, more than ten miles north of the Mongol camp, He Zhang and his cavalry were resting on a hillside.

He Zhang's age naturally made him tired from this night's actions, and he only felt back pain and weakness in his limbs, but He Zhang knew that he was the backbone of the soldiers under his command, so he still looked energetic on the surface, even if he sat on the ground, his waist was still straight.

This time, the cavalry attacked the camp of the Mongolian coalition army, and Mao Jiadong, as the leader of the cavalry, naturally participated, and was He Zhang's deputy, and he was in charge of the command together with He Zhang.

Don't look at Mao Jiadong's rough appearance and taciturnity, he is actually a careful person, but he is keenly aware of He Zhang's exhaustion.

So, after Mao Jiadong commanded the cavalry to rest on the spot, he quickly came to He Zhang's side and asked softly: "General He, your body doesn't matter, right?" ”

He Zhang glanced at Mao Jiadong and said, "It's not in the way, it's okay!" ”

Mao Jiadong naturally saw that He Zhang was just holding on, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out a yellow pill from his arms and handed it to He Zhang, saying: "This pill is condensed with medicinal materials such as astragalus, He Shou Wu, camphor, and poppy, which has the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue...... But it is best not to take it frequently, otherwise it will be harmful to the body. ”

After hearing Mao Jiadong's words, He Zhang did not hesitate, and directly took the pill and swallowed it in his mouth.

After seeing this scene, Mao Jiadong shook his head and sighed, and said: "Today is really fortunate to be General He, after leading the troops to recapture the Zhenning Acropolis, but he has just returned to the camp, and before he has time to rest, he was sent by Lord Qincha to attack the Mongolian camp, and most of the time today he is riding horses...... I only hate those corrupt officials and bad businessmen in Tianshui City, all because of the Tianshui Rebellion, otherwise we wouldn't have to be so tired! ”

After He Zhang glanced at Mao Jiadong, he said: "Your cavalry has been intercepting and killing Mongolian horses everywhere during the day, and it may not be easier than me to attack the Mongolian camp at night without resting for long after setting up camp...... However, when serving the country, it is also appropriate to be lucky. ”

After hearing He Zhang's words, Mao Jiadong's expression was a little complicated, both admiration and helplessness.

Mao Jiadong admired He Zhang's national righteousness and national feelings, but he was just a little unconvinced that he was so fortunate just to wipe his ass for those corrupt officials and inferior gentry who had never met.

After Mao Jiadong hesitated for a moment, he asked He Zhang: "Old General He, you said that Lord Qincha's plan to show the enemy weakness was successful?" The news that we let the Mongolian Tatar pass on to the Mongolian commander is all true, but what if the Mongolian Tatar commander really believes it? ”

At this time, He Zhang had closed his eyes to recuperate, and after hearing Mao Jiadong's inquiry, he said: "The art of war is cloudy, but fiction is real!" On the one hand, Lord Chincha asked us to scare the Mongols, and on the other hand, he just harassed him without pain, pretending to be completely helpless against the Mongol army, so that as long as the commander of the Mongol coalition army was a smart person, he would definitely find out the strangeness and fall into the maze laid by Lord Chincha! …… Does General Mao think that the commander of the Mongol coalition army will be a stupid person? If that's the case, we'll be relieved! ”

After a pause, He Zhang said again: "Now because of the Tianshui Rebellion, there is a loophole in the layout of Lord Qincha, and he can only show the enemy weakness and delay time, and it will take at least three or five days for the Tianshui Rebellion to be quelled, but if our army wants to show the enemy to be weak, there are also two flaws, one is the march traces of the main force of the border army into Gongchang Mansion, and when the Mongolian Tanma is re-dispatched tomorrow, it will be easy to detect, and the second is that we will recapture the Zhenning Acropolis, and the Mongols will inevitably be vigilant after they find out...... It's just foreplay now, and the most important thing in the next few days is to make a fuss about these two things! I'm afraid we'll have a hard time resting in the future! ”

Speaking of this, He Zhang was also a little helpless.

Indeed, all the hardships and painstaking efforts they have now are all to wipe their butts for those corrupt officials and gentry in Tianshui City!

Even if He Zhang has a firm personality, he can't help but feel a little powerless when he encounters such a situation.

On the other side, Mao Jiadong sighed lightly again, and the two of them sat on the ground to rest, and they didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, He Zhang suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity, I heard that after Lord Qincha learned about the Tianshui Rebellion, he originally planned to directly lead the army to raid the Mongolian camp, and today when our people sneak attack the Mongolian camp, we can see that the Mongolian army does not have much defense, and it is not a well-trained strong army, but it is a pity that all the civil and military officials dare not take risks......

Halfway through speaking, He Zhang shook his head again and said: "However, there are only thousands of cavalry in our army, and there are even fewer elite soldiers with the ability to fight at night. ”

Mao Jiadong nodded lightly and said: "The new army of soldiers is already the most elite army in Shaanxi and Gansu, but after all, it has been established for too short a time, if you give the new army of soldiers a period of time, it can be the main force of night attacks, so the chances of victory will be great...... It's really a pity, if Lord Qincha came to Shaanxi and Gansu half a year in advance, with his vision, today's war will definitely be easy to win! ”

Seeing that Mao Jiadong admired Zhao Junchen so much, He Zhang also nodded in agreement, but did not take the opportunity to start the topic.

He Zhang thinks that Zhao Junchen has the grace of knowing him, and he is already Zhao Junchen's disciple, but I don't know why, He Zhang always feels that he is separated from Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen is very important to him, but he is not as careless as Mao Jiadong and others.

Then, He Zhang suddenly got up and shouted to the cavalry around him: "Rest enough, continue to march!" The whole army listened to the order and continued to march thirty miles north to the Zhenning Acropolis! ”
