Chapter 233: Chicken Thief
After spending more than five minutes and explaining tomorrow's tactics to Zhang Fei, he saw Guan Yu turn around in an extremely rare way, and rushed to Zhao Hujun, who had been sitting on the side to "observe" for a long time, and ordered:
"Zhao Hujun, General Ben has a very important task to be handed over to you, are you confident to complete it?"
In the past 20 days, Zhao Hujun has long been accustomed to being a "transparent person".
At this moment, listening to Guan Yu not only took the initiative to talk to him, but also said that he wanted to arrange a very important task for himself, Zhao Hujun's first reaction was that he couldn't believe his ears, and he was stunned on the chair on the spot, like a wooden chicken.
"Hey! My second brother asked you, why are you stunned? ”
Seeing that Zhao Hujun was silent for a long time, the anxious Zhang Fei drank a sentence on the side, and immediately "woke up" Zhao Hujun:
"Oh, hug, sorry! General Guan, please say that the last general will definitely go all out. ”
"Well, the task I'm going to give you is not difficult to do, but it is very important, and you must not take it lightly!" After some more advice, Guan Yufang opened his mouth and said:
"Tonight, after the end of the night, you take a thousand soldiers to the hill two miles south of the barracks and lie in ambush, remember, you must not let people find out."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhao Hujun was puzzled, but even Zhang Fei, who was sitting on the side, also showed a look of confusion:
"Second brother, what are you asking him to lead his troops to ambush on the mountain? That location must be near the battlefield of tomorrow, right? ”
"That's right! On the way back, I took a closer look, and it was the best place to hide the ambushes. Guan Yu nodded back.
"Ambush?"
Hearing these two words, Zhang Fei was even more confused:
"Second brother, aren't we going to fight against Huaxing fairly? Why do you use ambushes? ”
"As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, don't you understand this truth? Tomorrow's showdown, if our army can win directly, of course, it is the best, and the ambush soldiers do not need to show up. But if our army is defeated, or if Huaxing tries to flee back to the city after the defeat, then launching an ambush will definitely have a miraculous effect! Speaking of this, I saw a smile on Guan Yu's face unconsciously:
"As the saying goes, don't fight the battle of the uncertain! Third brother, don't you really think that I will only bring a thousand elite soldiers to Huaxing to fight hard, right? ”
Although Guan Yu promised Huaxing a fair duel, in order to ensure that the Youzhou army could achieve the final victory, he thought that he should still leave himself a strategy to save his life, so on the way back to the camp, he came up with this ambush plan.
Although Zhang Fei also felt that this was very good, when he thought that they had violated the "agreement", he felt more or less uncomfortable in his heart, and soon heard him frown and ask again:
"Second brother, is it considered dishonesty for us to do this?"
"Dishonesty...... Absolutely! But who can guarantee that he Huaxing will not be dishonest tomorrow? If he wields more than a thousand troops, will we not be fools? So even if you lose your trust, you must arrange an ambush! ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yu no longer paid attention to Zhang Fei, turned his head and instructed Zhao Hujun with a serious face:
"Zhao Hujun, tomorrow on the battlefield, I will take the flag as an order, and then you only need to act according to the order!"
……
Five miles away, in the command room of the barracks in Ruiyuan Village, there was also a group of people discussing important military matters at this moment.
As soon as Hua Xing sat down, Tang Sheng, who was on the left side of the room, was the first to stand up and asked with a puzzled face:
"General Hua, it is clear that in a few days, the enemy army will retreat due to lack of food, why do you have to make a request for engagement at this time?"
Seeing Tang Sheng ask about this, Huaxing did not rush to reply, but first told a true story to everyone.
As early as a few months ago, when the chicken farm in Luyuan Village was not built, all the chickens and birds were raised in a vacant lot on the outskirts of the village.
Early one morning, when Dong Bai was counting the number, he suddenly found that there were a few chickens missing in the circle.
After careful inspection, according to Huzi's mother, it should have been taken away by a weasel at night.
Upon learning of this, Dong Bai's first reaction was to find someone to reinforce the fence.
But as a result, no matter how much she increases the encryption, the weasel will always find a new breakthrough to steal chickens, and the effect is very unsatisfactory.
Later, at the suggestion of Diao Chan, they decided to carry out a "wolf extermination" operation.
So, more than a dozen women, including Dong Bai and Diao Chan, stayed outside the chicken pen for three nights in a row, and finally let them wait for those hateful chicken thieves.
But first, due to the lack of strength in the woman's hands; Second, weasels are extremely flexible and very good at dodging.
Therefore, even with clubs and weapons, they could not completely eliminate these "chicken thieves", but only injured several of them, and then scattered and disappeared into the night.
Dong Bai was very dissatisfied with this result, she thought that this move would definitely leave trouble, so in the following time, she would send someone to protect the chicken pen every night.
Surprisingly, it wasn't until more than ten days later that the chicken coop and chicken coop were all built, and the chicken thieves never came again......
"Oh! I get it. ”
After hearing the story of this chicken farm, Tang Sheng dragged a long tail note, and soon understood what Huaxing meant:
"The reason why the general wants to go to war is to teach these 'weasels' some lessons?"
"That's right!" Hua Xing nodded and said:
"If we don't stick to it, we can resolve the crisis, but it will not help us in the future. The other side will only think that we are weak and powerless, and can only rely on the fence to survive. It won't be long before they'll be coming again, like those weasels, with siege weapons. Therefore, although pure defense is twice the result with half the effort, it is also a symbol of weakness and is not advisable. ”
"Well said!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Liao, who was sitting on the other side, slapping his face and standing up.
As the "main battle faction" in the army, Zhang Liao has been looking forward to this battle for a long time, and he is also very excited in his heart:
"Everyone has hit the door, how can we sit idly by? What the master said is too right. To deal with 'weasels' like Guan and Zhang, we must give them a hard blow and let them remember the lesson! ”
"Wenyuan, you say that...... Not all right! ”
I thought I would get the master's approval, but I didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Hua Xing shook his head and said:
"It's true that Guan and Zhang led the troops here, but they are not weasels, they are just two weapons!"
"Huh? Not them? So who's the weasel? Zhang Liao looked confused.
"Gongsun Chan is at war with Yuan Shao, and they don't want to come here to make trouble, but because of the obscenity of Emperor Xian, they have to come. So the real weasel is actually Liu Xie of the Luoyang Palace. ”
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the emperor's prestige was not as good as before, few people dared to slander the emperor as blatantly as Huaxing.
not only compared Emperor Xian to a weasel, but also called him by his name in public. As soon as these words came out, Zhang, Tang and others were surprised.
"What? Am I not right? Why do you all think of me like that? Seeing this, Hua Xing said with an innocent face:
"If it weren't for Liu Xie's instigation behind his back, how could Guan and Zhang come to Yuanyuan Village?"
