Chapter 42: A Defeat for the Enemy
The captain of the Huotou Army smelled the fragrance and entered the camp tent and asked Han Xuan, "What is so fragrant?" ”
Han Xuan and Dong Ping were making steamed buns in full swing, and when they saw him, they hurriedly stuffed a few steamed buns for him. After eating, he was so moved that his nose and tears were about to come out, and he said, "This is a hundred times better than the wheat cake I ate before." The wheat crackers are hard to swallow, and there is a little sweetness under the taste. Besides, I was about to deliver food to Qin Taishou. Give me more! ”
The gang leader took several steamed buns and put them in the food box, and went straight to the Chinese army camp.
Qin Jie, the current guard of Nanyang County, was discussing with Huang Zhong about the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, and when he saw that the gang commander had brought food, he said to Huang Zhong: "Brother Hansheng, stay and eat with Jie!" ”
Qin Jie picked up a piece of steamed bread and took a bite, and said in surprise: "Hey, what is this?" Guy Sun, but what did you do? ”
Gang Leader Sun shook his head and said, "This was created by Han Xuan in my Huotou camp. ”
When Huang Zhong heard that it was Han Xuan, he immediately asked, "Han Xuan?" But a teenager? ”
Gang Elder Sun nodded and wondered why Huang Zhong knew him, Huang Zhong said to Qin Jie: "Qin Taishou, this little brother Han knows Zaixia. I didn't want him to go to Qin Taishou's tent. ”
After listening to Gang Sun, Qin Jie said, "You quickly go and let that little brother Han come over to see me." Then he said to the guard beside him, "Hmph." Go and have the officer come and see me. He actually put such a talented boy into the fire camp! ”
Han Xuan heard that Captain Sun said that Lord Taishou had summoned him, so he came to the big tent of the Chinese army with him. As soon as he entered the tent, Han Xuan saw Huang Zhong and said in surprise: "Uncle Huang, you are also here!" ”
Huang Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "Master Han, you and I are really destined. This is Qin Taishou, and I am now serving under him. ”
Han Xuan hurriedly saluted Qin Jie, and Qin Jie ordered someone to give Han Xuan a seat, and took the steamed bun and ate it with Han Xuan and Huang Zhong. Then he smiled and said, "Little Brother Han is so young, he can make such delicious food, and knowing a hero like Brother Han Sheng is really promising." ”
Han Xuan arched his hand and said, "Lord Taishou is falsely praised. Xuan just wanted to do his part for the country, so he came to serve under the adult's account. ”
Qin Jie asked: "This official also wants to fight for the country to quell the Yellow Turban rebellion, but the Yellow Turban thieves are numerous and defend Wancheng, so it is really difficult to defeat the enemy." I don't know what little brother Han thinks about the current situation? ”
Han Xuan said: "I heard that Zhang Mancheng led the Yellow Turban thieves to camp in Wancheng, showing off their might for more than 100 days, and the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Han Xuan picked up a piece of steamed bread and said: "This thing is called steamed bread, if you want to break the thief, you need to rely on it!" ”
Qin Jie and Huang Zhong were both very surprised after hearing this, Qin Jie said: "How can the little steamed bun be a thief, little brother Han is here quickly!" ”
Han Xuan said: "The Yellow Turban thieves previously captured Wancheng and killed the former Taishou Chu Gong, and they must be extremely arrogant at this time. Qin Taishou could show that the enemy was weak, and ordered the three armies to stop and camp twenty miles away from Wancheng, waiting for Lord Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, to come and join our army. The thieves will inevitably think that Lord Taishou is afraid of the thieves, so he stops, and Zhang Mancheng is afraid that the two adults will be in a hurry to attack our army first. The adults can send an elite soldier with enough steamed buns as dry food for the march, quietly go around to the back of Wancheng to ambush, and wait for its army to come out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army when the surprise attack Wancheng. When the time comes, the thieves will be in chaos because they are surrounded by two sides, and when Lord Thorn Shi comes to rendezvous, they will attack him halfway. You can break the thief with one blow! ”
After listening to it, Huang Zhong thought that this strategy was feasible, and Qin Jie was even more overjoyed: "I don't want the little brother to have such a high opinion!" The officer actually made you stoop to the fire head camp, which is really burying talents. ”
The soldier officer on the side was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at Qin Jie, Qin Jie glanced at him, and ordered the two guards beside him: "Left and right, drag the soldier officer down for me and beat fifty military sticks!" ”
Han Xuan said: "It's too guarded and slow. If this person hadn't assigned me to the Fire Head Camp, I am afraid I would not have thought of such a strategy for a while. In addition, the most important thing is to march and fight, and the fire head army is also extremely important. ”
Qin Jie looked at Han Xuan and nodded with satisfaction: "Little Brother Han has such a broad mind!" Come on, remove the point officer from his military position, and have twenty rods and sticks! ”
"No!" The two guards dragged the officer out of the tent, who was crying and begging for mercy, and soon the screams of the officer were heard.
Qin Jie turned his head to look at Han Xuan again and said, "Little Brother Han is wise, why don't you stay under my account and be a marching master?" ”
Han Xuan bowed his hand and said: "Qin Taishou, please allow me to suspend this position for the time being, and now I will return to the fire head army to lead the brothers to make steamed buns in order to prepare for the surprise attack on the thief army!" ”
A hint of displeasure flashed in Qin Jie's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Then I'll bother Little Brother Han and the brothers of the Huotou Battalion!" ”
After Han Xuan came out of the big tent, Qin Jie and Huang Zhong discussed: "It is difficult for me to choose the candidate for this raid on the Yellow Turban Thief. ”
Huang Zhong arched his hand at him and said: "In the next wish, Lord Taishou allocated me 800 elite soldiers, and I will capture Wancheng for Taishou." ”
Qin Jie waved his hand and said: "Don't I know that Brother Han Sheng is brave, but there is still a need for Brother Han Sheng to lead the army to break the thieves in the Chinese army." ”
Huang Zhong suggested again: "I think Han Xuan is acting calmly, so let him lead his elite troops to raid." ”
Qin Jie shook his head: "Hey, after all, Little Brother Han is still young, and it may be difficult for him to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
At this time, a person outside the big tent staggered in, and this person was the officer who had just been beaten with twenty sticks. He was beaten all over the body, he was unsteady on his feet, fell to the ground and barely got up, and said, "Subordinate officers...... Oh no, the soldier Zhao Wu raised one person to Lord Taishou. His name is Zhao Ci, he is strong in martial arts, calm in his work, and will definitely help the adults to break the thief army. ”
Qin Jie sneered when he heard this: "Hmph." Who am I, it turned out to be a nobody. ”
"My lord, please let him lead the army to raid the thief army......" Zhao Wuqiang tried to stand up, but the wound on his body was cracked and he fainted in pain.
Qin Jie ordered someone to drag Zhao Wu out of the big tent, and Zhao Ci hurriedly picked him up and helped him back to the tent.
Zhao Wu opened his eyes and saw that he was lying in the tent, and Zhao Ci had just finished giving him medicine and was preparing a strip of cloth to bandage him. Seeing him wake up, Zhao Ci walked over and looked at him, with a hint of pity in his cold eyes. Zhao Ci slowly spoke: "Brother, is this what Qin Jie's dog official did?" I'm going to kill him! ”
Zhao Wu is this Zhao Ci's elder brother, Zhao Wu hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, just now I saw that he was hesitating to raid the candidate of the Yellow Turban, and recommended you to him." You and I are the children of the poor family, if you want to revitalize the Zhao family, there is only one way to make military contributions. cough cough cough ......"
Zhao Ci walked behind him and crossed his legs, gathered his internal force in his palm, and slapped Zhao Wu's back with one palm. Zhao Wu spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt much better.
Zhao Ci said lightly: "I grew up in the mountain gate since I was a child, if it weren't for my brother in the army, I wouldn't have come here." Since my brother wants to chase fame and fortune, I will ask him for it! ”
The next day, Zhao Ci helped Zhao Wu to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Zhao Wu bowed to Qin Jie and said, "Lord Taishou, the Zhao Ci I recommended yesterday is this person." ”
Qin Jie put his hands behind his back and said: "Nobody, how can he be a big responsibility, don't mention it again!" Stand down. ”
I saw that Zhao Ci had quickly walked in front of Qin Jie in the blink of an eye, pinched his neck with one hand and said, "Do you still think I'm a nobody?" ”
Qin Jie was held hostage, he pretended to be calm, but in fact he was panicked to death, and said to the two: "What do you want to do? ”
Zhao Ci said: "I just want to make a name for my brother. Who is the choice of the people you sent to raid the Yellow Turbans this time! ”
Qin Jie sighed and said, "Okay, you let go of your hand first." I will now order 800 elite soldiers to be sent to you, and you will lead the team to the raid. ”
