Chapter 116: Hanzhu was abandoned and Xu Zhen was playful
Although Murong Hanzhu is widowed and talented, he is not a lonely Gaohan scholar who has no intention of fighting for spring and is jealous of the group, but he can't see the huge chess game being destroyed, and many times he has to fold his own feathers, and he also has to take care of the overall situation.
It is said that he had insight into Han Wei's deception, and knew that this was Xu Zhen's bitter plan, and wanted to behead Han Wei at night to cut off the trouble, but he was reported by Lu Dongzan's faithfulness, and led the Qizong to hurry to the rescue.
This Han Wei is also a good man, after torture, he has always been three points of truth and falsehood, gritted his teeth and wanted to carry out Xu Zhen's strategy to the end, and now he is tied to Xingtai by Murong Hanzhu, and he still handles it calmly, without losing the style of Tang Jiang, which can be described as iron-clad!
Qizong came in a hurry, seeing that Han Wei was strong and proud, he liked it more and more, and hurriedly drank the executing sergeant, and asked angrily: "Why is the military advisor here, although this king respects the military advisor, but such a big event, the military advisor does not play and does not ask, and kills people at every turn, but I have half a bit of awe for this king!" ”
Murong Hanzhu saw that he was angry, and hurriedly defended: "The king has always been Yinghui, how can he be deceived by the ministers, this person is the governor of Songzhou, and our magpie's nest dove occupies it, and his people can't wait to eat our flesh and ears, how can they be gullible about his loyalty!" ”
Qizong praised the young man for ascending the throne, and the most taboo in his heart was that the courtiers controlled political affairs, and finally controlled the authority, but this time he saw that Murong Hanzhu was not only without awe, but also dared to contradict himself, and suddenly became angry.
"Strategists, please be cautious in your words and deeds! The people of Songzhou are all party Xiang Tuoba and other departments, how can these people be born to belong to the Tang Dynasty, they can belong to the Tang Dynasty, and how can they not surrender to Tubo! The military advisor vainly talks about the king's ministers, but I am full of ministers in the Tubo court, but the military advisor is loyal to me! If the military advisor insists on trespassing, what is the difference between him and the ministers! ”
Jizong praised his sleeves and turned his back, no longer looking at Murong Hanzhu, the latter's eyes darkened, and he sighed lightly, knowing that he couldn't do anything, he was inevitably helpless and lonely in his heart, and bowed down and apologized: "It's the minister who is reckless... However, this Han Wei is definitely not a loyal person, and he asks the king to cut it off to prevent future troubles! ”
After Murong Hanzhu finished speaking, the Qizong did not look back, but snorted coldly: "Who was born loyal to this king?" Even if you are a military advisor, born in the Great Sui, but you entered Tuyuhun, betrayed Tuyuhun, and entered my Tubo, if you compare, what if the military advisor is compared to this Han Wei? ”
As soon as these words fell, Murong Hanzhu's ears were buzzing, as if he had been struck by lightning, knowing that there was already a gap between himself and Qizong Langzan, I was afraid that it would be difficult to bridge in the future, and he didn't dare to make more excuses, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh, and had no choice but to retreat, Han Wei and the others were spared.
However, Qizong only felt that he had hit Murong Hanzhu's sore spot, presumably saying the secret in his heart, and he was even more detached from Murong Hanzhu, and he was inevitably regretful and depressed.
Once upon a time, the two of them talked about the past and present of the world, discussed the national economy and people's livelihood, and seemed to have found someone who could really be relied on, but now, it is precisely because of Han Wei's incident that he can see Murong Hanzhu's face clearly.
Thinking of this, remembering his neglect of Lu Dongzan and others, Qizong Langzan also felt indebted in his heart, and ordered people to reward many old ministers with cattle and sheep and female slaves in Songzhou City, in order to make up for it, and let Han Wei go, so that he could take care of him, so that he felt a little at ease.
Lu Dongzan and other old ministers saw that Zan Pu suddenly woke up, no longer confused by Murong Hanzhu, they were all happy, this Songzhou people are stable, and they are even more vibrant than before, the soldiers return to their hearts, unite as one, praise the merits of Zan Pu, and the Qizong praise is also happy, and more and more snub Murong Hanzhu.
Songzhou has slackened, there have already been secret agents to send the information back, Xu Zhen smiled and did not speak, rode all day long, took scouts to explore around, and climbed the heights with Jiang Xingben to visit the sky, and the night and the surprise soldiers were rectified.
Many sergeants saw that Xu Zhen was like a child's play on the eve of the previous year, and they were dissatisfied, so they didn't care, the military discipline was lazy, the people's hearts were sluggish, and the fighting spirit was completely gone, Li Daozong and other old people saw it in their eyes, and felt that it was not appropriate to attack, but Xu Zhen did the opposite, and in a hurry, he ordered the sergeants to fight with open fire, raise more flags, bring less baggage, and travel lightly and quickly, and came to Xiaogansong Ridge in the middle of the night!
Seeing the dense torches and banners, those Tubo defenders became more and more sure of what Han Wei said, ** really had the intention of a night attack, and they couldn't see the number of men and horses, so they only said that the army pressed the border, and hurriedly reported back to Songzhou City.
Xu Zhen did not slow or rush to restrain the men and horses, nor did he order the attack, only let the sergeants beat the drums and wave the flag, shouting and making a gesture, and those who didn't know the inside story thought that the whole army of the Tang State was dispatched!
There were 2,000 defenders in Xiaogansong Ridge, but the day before yesterday, Zampu rewarded the three armies, and half of the sergeants returned to the Songzhou headquarters to rest and recuperate, and now the defense is half empty, and the defenders did not dare to be careless, seeing the arrival of Xu Zhen's military horses, they hurriedly shot out a rain of arrows in the sky, although it was night, but the white feathers fell like snow, and it was also quite magnificent.
It's a pity that the night is not very clear, and the Tubo sergeant can't handle the distance between the two sides, and most of the feather arrows fall in the empty space in front of Xu Zhen's formation.
**The cavalry saw that the enemy launched a shot, and suddenly aroused a monstrous war intent, and people shouted that the horses neighed, and they drew their swords and raised their lances, and they were about to rush over and take down the small Gansong Ridge!
At this moment, the Tubo reinforcements in Songzhou City poured out, rolling in, the momentum was as strong as a storm and tsunami, Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the long knife in his hand, and finally issued a military order.
"Retreat!"
As soon as this order came out, many ** punched the void in anger, which was very weak, and the heart was aggrieved to the extreme, but it was controlled by the military order, and it was worth retracting indignantly.
Li Daozong and other veterans also couldn't figure out Xu Zhen's intentions, although Xu Zhen had the intention of playing tricks on the enemy, but in this way, even his own sergeants were teased, and the soldiers among the generals were offended all over again!
The Tubo reinforcements had just arrived, but they retreated back, and the generals didn't know why, so they begged for a plan to praise the Qizong, although they were brave and good at fighting, after all, they were poor in the art of war, and they wanted to teach Murong Hanzhu, but they couldn't pull their faces, so they had to summon Lu Dongzan and others.
Lu Dongzan and other old ministers rarely returned to their hearts, although they said some good things, they only said that they were afraid of the danger of Xiaogansong Ridge and did not dare to charge without authorization, as long as they sent heavy troops to guard the mountain pass, they would never dare to come over.
If these expeditions have achieved nothing, their Emperor His Majesty will be anxious about the situation, so he can only agree to make peace, saying that even Songzhou will be given to Tibet as a dowry!
Although Qizong Langzan is not a person who likes to listen to flattery, Lu Dongzan and others analyzed it well, and he also felt reasonable, so he was happy, and relaxed the soldiers in the city, and only needed to send more people to guard the pass.
After five days like this, ** will come every night, every time it is violent, but it comes to an abrupt end, making the Tubo soldiers in the pass panic, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and later, when they see ** coming, they are no longer vigilant, anyway, these Tang soldiers are just making a show.
Liu Lan, the general of the right leading army, is a fiery temper, although he is not in the vanguard camp, but he can't see Xu Zhen lazy to deal with it, he has repeatedly pointed out Xu Zhen, and he has joined forces with Niu Jinda to put pressure on Li Daozong, and it is bound to remove Xu Zhen's command.
Li Daozong was under great pressure, so he could only summon Xu Zhen privately, but the latter was still mysterious, and finally could not withstand Li Daozong's pressure to release his authority, and brought Li Daozong to the craftsman's camp.
This craftsman camp has been entrusted by Xu Zhen, there are heavy guards at all times, idle people are not allowed to enter, the pungent smell is diffused all day long, the blacksmith tinkles every day and night, and those sergeants who want to fight have long been dissatisfied with Xu Zhenzhen, and the artisan camp harasses day and night, and is even more resentful.
However, after Li Daozong returned from the craftsman's camp, he seemed to have eaten the scales and was iron-hearted, and no matter how many generals persuaded him, Li Daozong only supported Xu Zhenze.
In this way, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan and others hated Xu Zhen even more, but there was no way, Xu Zhen no longer cared about these veterans, and could only let it go for a while.
After Niu Jinda died down for a few days, Xu Zhen became active, recruited courageous things from the cavalry, taught martial arts privately, and after many screenings, he had three hundred soldiers and secret training, everyone was curious, and there were many coercions, but the three hundred people never mentioned it.
Let's say that this night, ** came to harass as usual, and Tubo was already numb, coping with a round of arrows, and waiting for ** to retreat.
After all, the Qizong couldn't survive his curiosity, and it was not good to ask Murong Hanzhu again, so he remembered Han Weilai, summoned him into the golden tent, and asked him about the details.
Han Wei thought about Xu Zhenzhi's entrustment, after all, he waited for the Qizong to praise and ask for advice, and he was overjoyed, so he told Xu Zhen to praise everything he had explained in advance, but the latter couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It turns out that this ** is not a monolith, the veteran is suspicious of the newcomer, the newcomer is afraid of the veteran, and the strategy is also quite different, the previous Niu Jinda private automators, heavy casualties, has been replaced by Xu Zhen, but the veteran has a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen is perverse, offering a plan to feint every day, acting on the spot, so that the saint no longer wins the trust of an old man, so he is so deed.
Qizong Langzan suddenly realized, after all, he was at ease, and rewarded the sergeant every day, just waiting for the ** to go away, Li Shimin would agree to ask for marriage.
He originally came to court, and now he occupies Songzhou, enjoys a lot of resources and manpower, and has long been satisfied, and his sergeants beg for a life on horseback all the year round.
However, Murong Hanzhu refused to relax, but he was helpless, and he was disheartened, but he couldn't bear to leave.
After three days like this, Xu Zhen harassed again, and many sergeants had long been accustomed to this rhythm, complaining to Xu Zhen constantly, but they had to come out full of anger, marching in anger, only to feel that the road was familiar.
However, this time, Xu Zhen brought out the three hundred secret sergeants, let the cavalry go first, three hundred people escorted three or four throwing carts and several rushing carts, and walked slowly, and there were five or six tightly covered baggage carts following behind, Jiang Xingben walked with the army, his face was full of red light, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart!
The more than 2,000 cavalry retreated after waving their flags and shouting, but Xu Zhen gave an order to stabilize their positions, and they only needed to hear the thunder before they charged!
Many soldiers laughed in their hearts, where did the thunder sound come from when the wind stopped?
Xu Zhen didn't say anything, just smiled and didn't say anything.
