Geng Gong suddenly stood up: "What about the messenger? ”

The messenger also departed. In the past few days, I have seen the envoys frequently entering and leaving the horse defense room, but I did not expect that they would collude with each other to do such things. Just imagine, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Qiang soldiers and the Huns were defeated, but their numbers are still not less than 100,000, and our army is only 4,000 soldiers, how can it be the enemy? Brother, it's better to take advantage of the weakness of the enemy's soldiers, and then retreat! ”

Geng Gong raised his eyebrows, his eyes were blazing, and he said: "As soon as our army retreats, Longxi will not be protected!" The emperor ordered me to wait for Xiqiang, Xiqiang has not been destroyed, how can I return to the army? Though the enemy is numerous, he has become a frightened bird, and even if I have only three hundred soldiers, I have nothing to fear, let alone four thousand. Brother Yan, the matter of retiring from the army will have to be mentioned again in the future! ”

At this time, Fan Qiang also rushed over, and said hatefully: "Brother, Ma Fang fled and fled, and almost all the grain and grass were removed, even the more sophisticated weapons were also taken away, hmph, I knew this was the case, why should we save him!" ”

Geng Gong was taken aback and thought: "The people take food as the sky, go deep into Longxi, and there is no grain and grass, how can it be good?" But he couldn't help it for a while, and asked, "How long can this grain and grass last?" ”

Fan Qiang said: "It's only enough for ten days!" ”

Geng Gong was silent, and said for a long time: "If you want to break the enemy's captives, but it will take a month, Brother Qiang, Brother Yan, pass on my order, from today onwards, the daily supply of grain and grass will be reduced by two-thirds of the usual!" Fan Qiang hated and left.

Yang Yan handed over the letter and said, "Ma Fang left it, do you want to take a look at it?" ”

Geng Gong took it, walked to the candle flame, put it at the flame seedling, and with a "Teng" sound, a burst of fire burst out, and the paper silk turned into a puddle of ashes in an instant. Geng Gong said slowly: "General Ma will leave when he leaves, why let him mess with our army's heart again!" ”

Yang Yan was sighing to himself, the footsteps outside were hurried, and he saw Fan Qiang carrying a person who was tied together, striding over, walking in front of Geng Gong, throwing the person up hard, and shouting: "Brother, this is the messenger of the Qiang army!" ”

The man was short in stature, with a white face and no beard, and was thrown by Fan Qiang, and was thrown to the ground when he landed. After a long while, he came to his senses, but there was no fear on his face, he struggled to stand up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "You are Geng Gong?" ”

Geng Gong's eyes were like lightning, and he nodded slowly. The man shook his head: "I have heard for a long time that Geng Gong is a wild goose soaring in the sky, and today it seems that even I am afraid, not as good as a sparrow, what is so strange?" Qu Shuai really looked away! ”

Fan Qiang was furious, raised his hand, and wanted to fight, but Yang Yan hurriedly stopped and said: "The general of the defeated army, where did you get the courage to dare to say that my brother is afraid of you!" ”

The man said coldly: "If General Geng is not afraid of me, why is he tying me up tightly? Are you afraid that I will plot against General Geng? You need to know that I have no power to restrain the chicken, and a gust of wind can down! ”

Geng Gong's gaze softened suddenly, and he laughed and said, "The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed." The Qiang army also has capable people, Qiang brothers, loosen his rope. ”

Fan Qiang was very unwilling, he jumped on the horse, took a hundred steps back, took the bow in his hand, and shot an arrow at the messenger of the Qiang army, and the arrow whistled, the man did not move, his face did not change, but he heard a "snap" sound, the arrow happened to hit the rope, and the rope was broken. The man sighed secretly in his heart: "I heard that the Han general Fan Qiang, the archery is like a god, and today I look at it, and the name is well deserved." The Han army is so strong, how can our army be the enemy? "I can't help but feel a little worried.

At this time, Fan Qiang had already come over on horseback and said sharply: "Qiang, Hugh has to be clever and clever, even if my brother spares you, the arrow in my hand will not let you go!" ”

The man was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I Qiang people admire heroes, and I was sent here today to invite the generals to come and see a calligraphy and painting, let us enter the account, and then describe it in detail." ”

Geng Gong led everyone into the account. The man was not polite, sat in the middle, and said: "I heard that the emperor of the Han family writes well, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, like a thunderbolt through the sky." Although Xiqiang is a small domain, not calligraphy, but can also write a few good words, compared to your emperor, but not bad, now let you open your eyes. ”

Fan Qiang glared and wanted to stop drinking, but when he saw Geng Gong waving his hand, he had to hold back and keep silent. Seeing that Geng Gong was silent, the Qiang people talked about the calligraphy, but they also nodded secretly, thinking: "This Qiang people also have some ability, but they should not be underestimated." ”

Fan Qiang was born in Orion, he didn't understand what the Qiang people said, and after listening to it for a long time, he didn't see the man take out the calligraphy and painting, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Qiang, Hugh is talking nonsense!" It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk! ”

The man laughed, "Of course I'm going to show you!" General Geng, can all the generals in the generals be summoned and see my Xiqiang's Mobao! ”

Geng Gong was about to answer, Yang Yan came up, attached it to his ear, and said softly: "Brother, this Qiang people are ghosts and ghosts, he wants us to call out the generals, do you want to spy on our army?" ”

Geng Gong nodded slightly: "Brother Yan, I have my own ideas, don't worry." Then the order was given. Soon, all the generals will come.

When the man saw this, he jumped up from his chair and said in a strong voice: "Now that the generals are coming, please look at my Xiqiang Mobao." He took out a bunch of paper silk from his arms, pulled his hands, and saw four big characters jumping on the paper, one stroke at a time, like a knife carving, where the inheritance is, there seems to be stagnation, but this kind of stagnation, but it gives people a reverie, causing a strong visual impact, and these four words are "Tianxin takes rice".

The generals didn't know what it meant, but they all felt that this word was very good, and they all applauded, only Geng Gong and Yang Yan looked solemn, while Fan Qiang raised his head high, looking indifferent.

The Qiang man smiled and said, "How is this word compared to your emperor?" ”

"It's not as good, it's far worse!" Fan Qiang shouted, and suddenly jumped up to tear the paper.

Geng Gong said lightly: "Brother Qiang, retreat!" He walked slowly to the Qiang people and said word by word: "Have you deceived no one in my army?" Tianxin takes the four words of rice, the generals don't understand, but I know. Hmph, tell Miwu that if you want to fight, you will fight, and don't be quick to speak! ”

The man was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "General Geng, this is just a calligraphy and painting, how can he mean it!" After saying that, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Yang Yan stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Qiangyu, the 'heaven' is the heavenly dynasty, the 'heart' is the Central Plains, and the 'rice' is the saint." Tianxin takes rice, that is, he wants to take away my Han country and take the throne of the holy dragon, yes or no? ”

The Qiang people looked at the generals and grinned: "We don't mean that!" ”

The generals shouted, looking at each other angrily, only hindering Geng Gong, otherwise, the Qiang people would have been broken into thousands of pieces. The Qiang man walked up to the word, looked at it excitedly, and said: "What a 'Tianxin takes rice', well written, well written, Qu Shuai's words, better and better!" ”

At this time, he saw Geng Gong sneering and shouted loudly: "Take the pen!" A soldier came in with a tube of wolf hair. Geng Gong stretched out his hand to copy it, approached the front of the calligraphy and painting, pushed away the Qiang people, pondered for a moment, raised the pen and added a stroke to each word, and then threw the pen and said sharply: "Don't mess with Xiqiang, I Geng Gong will never step back to Dongtu half a step!" ”

The Qiang people were shocked, raised their eyes, and were startled. It turned out that after Geng Gong added one painting each, "Tianxin takes rice" turned into "may not dare to come"! When the generals saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they drew their knives one by one and smiled: "Qiang and Qiang, give you ten guts, you may not dare to come!" ”
