Chapter 68: Empty Camp Scheme
On the execution ground, two knife and axe men raised their big knives and beheaded Qian Rui and Zhao Mu to show the public. The bloody level of the scene made Chen Wu nauseate again and again.
Chen Wu looked at Han Xuan, who had a flat expression, and asked, "Han Xuan, don't you think this is disgusting?" Such a bloody and violent scene. ”
Han Xuan looked at him and said, "I think it's okay, it's good to get used to it." ”
Chen Wu looked at him in shock: "What the hell have you experienced, I remember that you didn't even dare to kill a chicken before." ”
Han Xuan: "This world is far more cruel than you imagined, you have to mature faster." Don't really think of yourself as a child just because you're only ten years old. ”
Sun Jian looked at Han Xuan and Chen Wu talking about something in a whisper, and asked Han Xuan, "Does County Captain Han feel that this official is unsympathetic and brutal and arbitrary?" ”
Han Xuan bowed and said, "Why did Lord Taishou say this? The lower official felt that the Taishou Lord was decisive in killing, and the lower official and the thief district star could not win the battle for a long time, and the Taishou Lord Fang Zhi broke the thief army, which shows that the heroism of the adult is incomparable. Lord Taishou is really a model for us, and the lower officials admire the adults so much that they are throwing themselves to the ground! ”
Sun Jian pointed at Han Xuan again and asked, "Han Xuan, when you were crusading against the Yellow Turban Han Zhong that day, you were the one who suggested that General Zhu Jun allow the Yellow Turban Thief to surrender?" I remember that at that time, you seemed to be serving as the chief bookkeeper under Qin Jie. ”
Han Xuan: "Lord Taishou has a good memory, and that person is right down." At that time, he was young and vigorous, which made Lord Taishou smile. ”
Sun Jian laughed and said: "Lieutenant Han has such an achievement at a young age, and he really has the demeanor of his former officials. When I was young, I also served as a county official, and I was the size of you. I think you're going to do something great in the future, hahaha. ”
Han Xuan bowed his head and said: "The lower officials dare not compare with the Lord Taishou, if fortunately the auspicious words of the Lord are promoted, the lower officials will not forget the grace of the Lord." ”
Sun Jian nodded and smiled: "Okay, the son can be taught." ”
At this time, Sun Jian's subordinates reported: "The traitors Zhou Chao and Guo Shi of Lingling and Guiyang counties gathered people to attack the township, and the county officials asked for help everywhere. ”
Sun Jian called the herald and ordered: "Straighten out the soldiers and horses, follow me to ask for it!" ”
Cheng Pu, Sun Jian's chief bookkeeper, stood up and persuaded him: "Your Excellency is the county guard of Changsha, and if you rashly cross the border to beg for thieves, even if you win, you will probably be framed by the villains in the court." I hope that Lord Taishou will think twice. ”
Sun Jian said: "This official is not virtuous, but only conquest. The cross-border conquest is to protect the county. If I am convicted of this, I am worthy of the world! ”
Cheng Pu then went down to rectify the soldiers and horses,
Sun Jian said to Han Xuan: "County Lieutenant Han, you just have to properly appease the people, handle the official Cao paperwork and act according to the rules." When I return from the thief, I will show you the credit. ”
Han Xuan bowed and said: "Lord Taishou, rest assured, the lower officials will strictly govern Luo County." The lower officials are here to wait for the triumph of Taishou. ”
After Sun Jian led the army away, Han Xuan also began to lead people to rebuild Luo County. Looking at the dilapidated city walls and bloodstains everywhere, Han Xuan sighed: "It is worthy of the 'Jiangdong Tiger', what a livestock!" ”
After these battles, Han Xuan's soldiers were less than 2,000 men, and his killer cavalry was only more than 500 people.
Han Xuan is currently facing a shortage of manpower, so he has to first transfer more than 1,000 elite soldiers from Pingluo Pass to defend, and Luo County must not lose again.
It's just that in this way, there are only a few hundred people left to defend Pingluo Pass, Han Xuan and Chen Wu talked about their troubles, and Chen Wu suggested: "Isn't there so many prisoners, you can recruit them as soldiers." ”
Han Xuan smiled bitterly: "You think too simply, these captives are Sun Jian's, it would be good if he didn't kill these people." If I deal with these people without permission, he will surely blame me when he returns. I have recruited a lot of soldiers and outcasts into the army, but they are not loyal, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of the whole army. When the battle began, they must have been the first to desert. ”
Han Xuan handed over the defense of Luo County to Dong Ping for the time being, the number of Shadow Tiger Army was already small, and most of them were killed in the last operation, so Han Xuan temporarily arranged for them to be in charge of spying on the military situation. Dong Ping, the commander of the special forces, can only temporarily command the regular troops.
Han Xuan returned to Pingluo Pass with Chen Wu, and he wanted to take care of Su Qiao'er. Su Qiao'er drank the medicine prepared by Zhang Zhongjing, and her complexion has improved a lot in the past few days. Han Xuan heard early in the morning that someone was practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, and when he went out, he saw Chen Wu practicing marksmanship, and there was a burst of sound of breaking the air from the spear in his hand, but his moves were all wide open and closed, mainly chopping, smashing, and splitting.
Han Xuan applauded and said, "Okay, you have the strength of two arms, and you are worthy of being a general." But your marksmanship really doesn't look like marksmanship, it's like knife skills. ”
Chen Wu put away the spear and put it on the weapon rack, and said to Han Xuan: "This marksmanship was left by my father, my mother said that my father was called back to serve in the army after giving birth to me, and later died on the battlefield, leaving only this volume of marksmanship." It's still in traditional Chinese, and it took me a lot of effort to understand it. ”
At this time, Cao Xuan came over and interrupted them and said, "My lord, the brothers of the Shadow Tiger Army are here to report. It is said that Luo Ping borrowed men and horses from the Guiyang traitor Guo Shi and the Jiangxia thief Zhang Hu, and after the death of Lei Ling, the owner of Huangfeng Village, he took over his bandits. Also, he recruited the remnants of the district star, at least more than 3,000 people. I'm already on my way to attack Pingluo Pass! ”
"More than 3,000 people, we have less than a thousand people now, right? How to fight? Chen Wu asked.
Han Xuan smiled: "What if there are many people, watch me win a battle for you." It also gives you a long insight. ”
Han Xuan found a member of the Shadow Tiger Army and wrote a letter asking him to ride a fast horse and hand it over to Dong Ping to send troops to the rescue. Then he and Chen Wu boarded the walled tower, and Han Xuan ordered: "Open the gate of the walled gate and stop the flag!" ”
Cao Xing was puzzled: "My lord, the thieves are coming to attack the pass, we should close the door and refuse to defend it!" Why did the adults order the gate to be opened, did they want to let the thieves in? ”
Han Xuan said again: "Cao Xuan, how are you recovering from your arrow wound, but you can still pull a strong bow?" ”
Cao Xing replied: "It's no big deal, do you want me to snipe the enemy general?" ”
Han Xuan gave a military order: "You take three hundred crossbowmen to ambush on both sides of the hillside, and release arrows when the bandits retreat!" ”
Soon after Han Xuan made the arrangements, Luo Ping really brought a large number of thieves to Pingluo Pass.
Luo Ping rode a horse and said to Jin Biao and said with a smile: "Right now, Sun Jian is leading the army to Lingling Guiyang, Han Xuan will never think that we will fight back." This Yamenzhai belongs to me Luo Ping, and I want him Han Xuan to come back! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Han Xuan riding alone in front of the walled gate, and the wooden plaque on the walled gate also changed from "Yamen Village" to "Pingluo Pass".
Luo Pingxin said that this is still his own tooth gate, the change is so big!
Jin Biao said to him: "Look, Han Xuan is alone in front of the gate of the wall, isn't he afraid that we will rush over and catch him?" ”
Luo Ping saw Han Xuan standing there on horseback, with a relaxed and comfortable expression, and his eyes widened. He whispered to Jin Biao: "Look behind him, the door of the village is wide open, and it is surprisingly quiet inside." The art of war has clouds, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual. I'm afraid that Han Xuan has already set up an ambush inside, luring me to wait inside, so that I can be wiped out! ”
Jin Biao asked, "Then what should we do, shall we withdraw?" ”
Luo Ping nodded, and then he and Jin Biao turned around and walked back with the more than 3,000 people. As soon as they walked on their front feet, an arrow shot with a sound of breaking through the air, hitting Luo Ping!
