Chapter 81: Miscalculation
"And then?" Hua Xing asked with an eyebrow.
And then ...... General Gao said he didn't have that many veterans to assign. After that, General Hou and General Wei offered to help gather 1,000 experienced elite soldiers. When General Gao heard this, he immediately smiled, and not only withdrew the recruits, but also asked me to go to General Hou to lead the troops. Later, the soldiers I received from General Hou are the same people now......"
After hearing the origin of the remnants, Huaxing sighed.
Hou Cheng and Wei Xu, since he first joined Lu Bu's army, have always been at odds with him.
I thought that after the last battle, these two would be more honest. But now it seems that they are only honest on the face, and they are still doing evil in secret.
Just like this time, these two bastards actually used a bunch of "remnants" to fill the numbers.
In the name of beauty, it is said that the people who are arranged for themselves are experienced "elite soldiers"?
The experience is "rich", but where is the "refinement"?
Of the 1,000 people, 500 are hung in the lottery, and the remaining 500 are a race and a weak.
If you can't even beat a normal person when you pull it out, you dare to call it an "elite soldier"?
It's not that Huaxing has never seen shameless, but it's the first time he's encountered such a shameless one!
But after calming down, Hua Xing only snorted coldly, didn't say a word more, turned over and got on the horse and walked straight to Sankun Mountain in the east.
Seeing this scene, Tang Sheng, who was standing under the horse, was stunned, and chased after a long time:
"General Hua, General Hua, where are you going?"
"Where to go? Of course, I went to Sankun Mountain. Hua Xing replied with a calm face.
"Huh? Really, really take them with you? ”
Tang Sheng looked at the thousand remnants of soldiers beside him, his face was full of incredulity.
"Who do you take without them? Let's hit the road! Don't be verbose! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Hua Xing whip down his horse whip and hurried towards the east.
……
At the same time, inside the barracks in the west of the city.
Early this morning, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu stood at the door of Gao Shun's barracks.
The two of them kept looking to the east, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing that the hour was not early, Hou Cheng couldn't help it and asked:
"General Wei, it's almost time, why hasn't Huaxing come yet?"
"How do I know? I've sent someone to check on the east gate just now, and I should be back soon. Wei Xu's mood was similar to Hou Cheng's, and his face was very anxious.
"Huh? Do you think he will go directly to General Lu to complain? If that's the case, wouldn't we have waited in vain? ”
"General Hou is too worried!" Hearing this, Wei Xu replied disapprovingly:
"I let people stare at the gate of Lu Mansion early in the morning, and if Huaxing goes, he will notify me as soon as possible. I estimate that this kid will be here soon, General Hou should not be in a hurry. Take advantage of this moment to think about how to humiliate this kid when he begs us to change troops. After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of obscenity.
That's right, Huaxing's 1,000 remnants of soldiers are the ghosts of Hou Cheng and Wei Xu.
Not only the soldiers, but even the inexperienced deputy general Tang Sheng was deliberately arranged by the two of them, just to add a little difficulty to Huaxing's expedition.
But when it comes to the change of troops, they don't really want Huaxing to go out with the remnants of the army.
Their real purpose was to let Huaxing come to the barracks early in the morning to "beg" them.
As long as the attitude is good, of course the two of them will "open the net" and exchange the recruits arranged by Gao Shun before to each other.
Therefore, they stood in front of the Gaoshun camp early in the morning, waiting for Huaxing to come here to change troops.
"Huh? The guards returned. Let's go, ask about the situation. ”
Seeing that his own soldiers had returned to the barracks, Wei Xu and Hou Chengcheng greeted him: "How is it, is Huaxing coming soon?" ”
"General Hui. Outside the East and East City Gates...... No one! ”
"No one? How can it be? As soon as he heard this, Hou Chengcheng became anxious:
"You fucking you! You can't see more than 1,000 people, so you can't be blind, right? ”
"General Hou, really, really no one! I searched for a long time, but I didn't see half a figure. The guard said with a look of grievance.
Wei Xu knew that his own soldiers would not lie, and after persuading Hou Cheng, he asked again:
"Then have you asked the soldiers guarding the door?"
"Asked! They said it was still an hour ago. ”
"Oh? Where did that go? Wei Xu asked.
"They don't know, they just know that they are heading east, and it seems to be ...... It's time to go! ”
"What?"
Hearing the word "expedition", Hou Cheng and Wei Xu opened their mouths wide, and their faces were full of shock.
After being stunned for three or five seconds, the two ran towards the east almost at the same time, intending to ask the soldier guarding the door.
……
Sankun Mountain was not far from Hongnong, and if it was a normal marching speed, they could reach it in one day.
However, due to the fact that there were both wounded and old and weak in the Huaxing army, it was quite slow to walk.
After walking for three days, Huaxing's army of 1,000 people arrived at the foot of Qiankun Mountain.
The thief's cottage was built halfway up the Qiankun Mountain, and after arriving at the destination, Huaxing did not plan to start a war with the other party as soon as he came up.
Instead, he ordered the generals to retreat three miles, find a relatively safe place, and set up camp.
A set of "rotational defense" systems was simply formulated, and all soldiers were divided into three groups, each of which was on duty for eight hours to prevent the enemy from raiding.
The rest of the time, he didn't ask for anything.
This group of thousands of people lived in the mountains as if they had come to a "spring outing".
One night, Hua Xing suddenly recruited Tang Sheng and ten relatively healthy soldiers into his tent.
After seeing everyone, Hua Xing first called everyone's names in turn.
During this time, although Hua Xing lived with the soldiers, he rarely spoke on weekdays, and today was the first time he spoke to these soldiers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, General Hua called out his name, and there was no mistake, and the ten people present were a little surprised.
But without waiting for them to think about it, they listened to Huaxing say today's topic:
"I've been reading your stuff these days. Although the record is limited, it is somewhat helpful. You are all old generals of General Wei and General Hou, and you have also participated in the battle of Sankun Mountain once or twice before, so you can be regarded as relatively experienced soldiers. I have come to you today because I have a task for you. ”
As he spoke, he saw Huaxing put an "enlarged" map of Qiankun Mountain on the ground, pointed to the map with the flames of the bonfire and said:
"Judging from the current intelligence, the thief's stockade is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one exit from the north, which we all know. However, I believe that there is no 'absolute defense' in this world, and no matter how impregnable it is, there will always be weaknesses. And the task I want to give you is to find out this weakness! ”
But as soon as I heard this, I saw a man in his forties sitting opposite Huaxing, and said in his oily cavity:
"General Hua, this is impossible!"
