Chapter 173: Strategizing (Part II)
Geng Gong seemed to see through Miwu's thoughts, and said: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." When I subdued Wusun, I went around surveying the landforms of the Western Regions. I've heard that Xiqiang has grievances, so of course I'm going to find out. Later, General Ma fought with you in Longxi, and I led an army directly into Xiqiang, and secretly measured it several times. ”
Migo sighed: "The general is really a god! ”
Geng Gong frowned, staring at the sand table tightly, and suddenly, his eyebrows raised, and he said, "There is." Then, Geng Gong pointed to the sand table and spoke eloquently. After hearing this, Mi Wu and Yao Guo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "The general is clever, and he is not afraid of being defeated!" I'm saved first! ”
Geng Gong said: "General Yao, you sneak into your hometown and recruit the old troops to come over, you can recruit as much as you can, you don't have to force it." ”
Yao Guo hugged his fists and replied in a strong voice: "Yes!" Then he ran out of the camp, rode a horse, and went west.
Several people thought about it again, Geng Gong sent Mi Wu away, sat in front of the sand table and thought hard. Yang Yan saw it and said softly: "Brother, isn't the plan already decided?" Why bother? ”
Geng Gong sighed: "Wudu will be defeated this time, so there is no need to worry. I'm just thinking, once the Wudu is defeated, it will inevitably go west, if it is used by the countries of the Western Regions, won't it bury a disaster? ”
Fan Qiang's eyes were filled with murderous aura, and he said hatefully: "Brother, do you want to kill the Qiang soldiers and leave Lingqiang alone?" ”
Geng Gong shook his head, put his hands behind his back, got up and walked around the sand table a few times, and sighed: "The soldiers of the benevolent, don't kill people, the last time Huaicheng was flooded, regardless of the enemy and me, I don't know how many people drowned, I feel ashamed, and I often wake up in the middle of the night." This time, Dan helped Miwu to drive away the Wudu, how could he kill them all? After a pause, he said: "I heard that my brother is still in Ning, if he is in Shanshan, get out of the way, let Wudu run to Qiuzi, and then chase after him, destroy Qiuci in one fell swoop, and then attack Yanqi, once these two countries are destroyed, there will be no strong country in the Western Regions, and it will be leveled in a few days." ”
Yang Yan was overjoyed, got up and said, "Brother, this chess game is wonderful......"
Fan Qiang also stood up, took a few steps forward, and said excitedly: "Brother, I'll go to Yu Ning to find General Ban and ask him to attack from the north and south!" ”
Geng Gong shook his head and said, "It's not easy to talk about!" If you want to go to Yuliao, you must pass through Xiqiang, and now Xiqiang is based on the Wudu, how can you live? Even if it passes, it will be ten days and half a month, but the war does not treat people, and it changes in an instant, what is the use? ”
Geng Gong hesitated for a long time, and a soldier shouted outside the camp: "General, one person asks to see!" ”
Fan Qiang snorted and said, "Three watches in the middle of the night, General Geng needs to rest, I don't see you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a person had already opened the curtain and broke in, Fan Qiang took a look, and saw that the person who came was short and his two eyes were shining, wasn't it Li Yi? couldn't help but be furious, put a knife on his neck, and said fiercely: "Li Yi, you traitor, we have been so miserable by you!" Do you dare to come over this time? See if I don't kill you today and feed the wolves! "591 net
Li Yi was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "I was sent by General Ban, you, you, you are rude...... and looked at Geng Gong again.
Geng Gong heard that he was sent by Ban Chao, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qiang, let him go!" ”
Fan Qiang's eyes widened, murderous, and said, "Brother, don't be deceived by him, this person's tongue is like smeared with honey." He also slandered General Ban before, so that General Ban had to leave Shule, General Ban hated him to the core, how could he send him over? ”
Li Yi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the green tendons on his thick neck flared up, he took out a book from his chest and said: "Fan, Fan, General Fan, don't do it, this is a letter written by General Ban himself, asking me to hand it over to General Geng, genuine, genuine ......."
Geng Gong waved his hand and said, "Brother Qiang, put down the knife!" Although my brother Ban Chao hates him, Li Yi is an envoy sent by the emperor after all, how can my brother mess up? Moreover, a person like Li Yi, who stays by his side, has long nights and dreams, and when he returns to the east, he will definitely come back to talk nonsense, so it is better to send him out as soon as possible. ”
Fan Qiang withdrew the knife, his eyes widened. Li Yi listened to Geng Gong's words, and he was furious, but he was under the eaves, and he didn't dare not bow his head, his face was red and white.
It turned out that Li Yi was ordered by Emperor Zhang to comfort Ban Chao. Chen Xi and Xu Gan were both indignant and wanted to kill Li Yi. However, Ban Chao did not show his face and treated him politely. Chen was worried and asked: "General, Li Yi slandered you in every way in the emperor, why do you still repay your grievances with virtue?" ”
Ban Chao smiled and said: "I'd rather sin a gentleman than a villain." Then he repaired another book and ordered Li Yi to give it to Geng Gong.
Xu Gan said again: "Li Yi used to destroy the general and make the general's achievements fail, why didn't he follow the emperor's will and stay in the Western Regions, so that he could suffer some hardships, why did he go to deliver the letter?" ”
Ban Chao smiled and said: "I'm slandering Li Yi well, staying by my side will be of no benefit, but harmful, wouldn't it be better if I asked him to send a letter and return to Luoyang by himself after sending it?" ”
This matter was later known by Li Yi, and he was very angry in his heart, but Dou Gu had been dismissed, and he had nothing to rely on, of course, he was helpless. Hearing Geng Gong's words again, he was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to attack for a while, so he had to smile all over his face.
Fan Qiang said coldly: "Bring the letter!" ”
Li Yi was afraid, so he hurriedly took out the letter from his arms and handed it over respectfully. Fan Qiang took it and gave it to Geng Gong. Geng Gong was very excited, he had not seen Tianshan for several years, and he was a young man who was covered with dust. He was short of breath, trembling and opened the letter, the vigorous and powerful words came into view, the letter was very long, Geng Gong read it in one bite, stroked his palms and was happy, and said: "My brother is really a Confucian general, between talking and laughing, he will defeat several countries, and he is really a lonely man in the peerless domain!" ”
Fan Qiang and Yang Yan hurriedly came over, and after reading it, they were overjoyed and said: "Brother, the hero sees the same thing!" It turned out that General Ban had arrived in Shanshan and set up a plan, just waiting for his brother to defeat Wudu and make him flee westward, and then defeat Qiuzi with one drum, and then attack Yanqi, and the overall situation of the Western Regions can be decided! ”
