Zhang Wei chose a slightly more shrewd soldier for himself, and followed him overnight, galloping towards Hengzhou City.

Although it was night, the moonlight was very competitive, shining all the way on Zhang Wei's path. At dawn, Zhang Wei and the others returned to Hengzhou City.

Entering the city, Zhang Wei hurriedly walked into the mansion of Hengzhou Thorn Shi without having time to rest, and Shi Xiong and others lived here temporarily.

"General Zhang is back, I'm finally relieved, relieved!" Seeing Zhang Wei come back, Shi Xiong immediately showed an excited look, stepped forward and patted Zhang Wei's shoulder like seeing a baby, and said repeatedly.

The reason why he is so happy is because since Zhang Wei left, Shi Xiong has already regretted it.

After staying in Youzhou for so many years, he knows very well that the trouble of Shanxi is not a matter of one or two days, and after changing so many things that have not been solved, can he expect it to be solved in one or two days, it is obviously impossible.

Besides, it is already very good that I can personally lead the troops to Hengzhou, and it can be regarded as selling the festival to make the adults have a face, avoiding the embarrassment of the father and son against the goal, and there is no expectation that the enemy army in Shanxi must be eliminated.

Shi Xiong knows very well that if you can completely eliminate Shan Xi with the troops this time, it will be good if you can completely eliminate Shanxi, and if you don't succeed, no one will hold you accountable.

What's more, this war also requires skill, taking the initiative to attack is a war, and holding on to the city is also a war. Who stipulated that the ** team must take the initiative to attack the enemy army?

Didn't Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period take the initiative to attack Wei in Qishan, and what was the result? It's not that Sima Yi, who is good at defense, is angry to death.

It can be seen that taking the initiative is not necessarily brave, and sticking to it is not necessarily cowardice.

To fight a war, skill is important.

After Zhang Wei left, Shi Xiong's thinking changed, and he no longer wanted to go out to attack the enemy army. He wanted to follow the advice of the Hengzhou Assassin History, stick to the city, and wait for the enemy army to attack by himself.

If the Shanxi army does not come to attack after holding on for many days, it means that the enemy has withdrawn.

Wouldn't it be better to surrender without a fight?

With such an idea, Shi Xiong was relieved at once, and regretted that he had sent Zhang Wei out of the city to find a way to break the enemy. If you can't send anyone, you have to let the deputy general Zhang Wei go.

Who is Zhang Wei? That's a big celebrity in King Yun's mansion, if the battle is not successful, and Zhang Wei is folded, things will obviously be big.

Hey---, Qian shouldn't be, never be, Zhang Wei shouldn't have been let out in the first place.

Just as Shi Xiong was sighing, Zhang Wei actually came back. Shi Xiong's excitement was as excited as seeing the sun in the middle of the night.

Enthusiasm is fine, excessive enthusiasm is problematic.

Didn't the ancients often say: Nothing to do is to be diligent, either to commit adultery or to steal? Today, Shi Xiong's enthusiasm was so unexpected that Zhang Wei was scared, so he said: "General Shi, I can't stand your enthusiasm!" ”

Shi Xiong knew that he was a little out of shape, so he quickly took his hand away from Zhang Wei and smiled embarrassedly, "Brother, I am very happy that you can come back alive." It's a bit of a gaffe, I hope you'll forgive me, forgive me! ”

The main generals have all spoken like this, what else can Zhang Wei say, let's get down to business, "General Shi, didn't I tell you, once there is news, I will come back and report to you immediately, and now there is news of the enemy." ”

"Oh, there's news, let's hear about it." Shi Xiong said in surprise.

"General, Lord Thorn Shi, we have found the camp of the Shanxi army in Yinshan." Zhang Wei said to Shi Xiong and Hengzhou Thorn History.

Found the camp of the enemy troops?

The news that the enemy camp was discovered in one day came so quickly! Professional scouts are no more than this level.

"You found the enemy camp?" Shi Xiong's already happy face was even happier.

Zhang Wei nodded heavily and said, "The enemy's camp is by the small river at the Yinshan Pass, as long as we reach Yinshan, we will be able to easily find the enemy's camp." ”

After chasing for so long and finally finding the trace of the enemy, both Shi Xiong and Zhang Wei were very excited, this trip was not in vain.

If you can destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop and establish immortal feats, then this errand will be very profitable.

But when it matters, there will always be people pouring cold water.

"General Zhang, even if we find the enemy's camp, our army will not be able to reach it! Now the question is not whether or not you can find the enemy camp, but how to get to Yinshan. Hengzhou Thorn Shi said coldly.

Don't say that it is the history of Hengzhou's assassination, but Zhang Wei himself has been thinking about this problem. Enemies are easy to find, but how to get there is the big question.

Along the way, he finally thought of a way.

"General, Lord Thorn, I've been thinking about this all the way while probing the enemy's whereabouts, and now I've figured out a way."

Figured it out?

Zhang Wei came up with a way?

Shi Xiong looked at Zhang Wei and said happily, "Let's hear it." To tell you the truth, my heart has been hanging on the day you left, for fear that the enemy will not be found, and you will not be able to come back. I'm even thinking that as long as you can come back safely, we'll hold the city here and stop attacking the enemy. Now you have come up with a way to deal with the enemy, brother, I admire you very much! ”

After all, Shi Xiong was a soldier, and he was upright and spoke directly. Unlike Li Shangyin, those literati, who stammered for a long time, and I don't know how many twists and turns, but I don't know what he wants to say? It's not like Shi Xiong who speaks and does things directly, and he doesn't have to bend at all.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he said to Shi Xiong with a smile: "No wonder when you saw me come back just now, you were as happy as a child, it turned out that you were worried that I wouldn't be able to come back and affect your future!" ”

"Hahaha, hahaha, brother, you're laughing, what is the future of my Shixiong, I'm still worried about your brother's life! You said that if such an excellent talent as you is gone, what a pity it will be for the imperial court, for King Yun and others! can not only sing and dance, but also lead troops to fight, which is definitely a rare talent in today's Tang Dynasty. ”

Shi Xiong is a martial artist in the end, and he doesn't shy away from anything when he speaks, and it is easy to tell Zhang Wei that he can sing and dance, and even the King Yun behind Zhang Wei said it in the Hengzhou Assassin Mansion.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Wei's face couldn't hold it at the moment.

After all, people are now the captain of Guoyi from the sixth grade, how can you still say that people's survival skills are singing and dancing, what do those literati who rely on poetry and literature to think about? Isn't it equivalent to exposing other people's shortcomings in public? Is it wrong to say that this official deserves to come from the right way?

What's even worse is that Shi Xiong also said that the relationship between Zhang Wei and King Yun made Zhang Wei even more unbearable, saying that who is not good, but he wants to talk about King Yun.

What kind of person is King Yun, that is a famous swinger on Chang'an Street, anyone who can follow him has some special skills, either singing or dancing; Or play acrobatics, monkey tricks and anything else, as long as it is not linked to politics, the economy and people's livelihood, everything can be done.

Although the current King Yun has an unlimited future, but after all, his hobbies are too extensive, so wide that the officials in these states and counties below are a little unbearable, although he is respectful to King Yun on the surface, but his heart has long been unpleasant.

It's better to study well than to be born well, who let our ancestors not have the surname Li?

Hey--, these literati who became officials with real talent sighed, and then pointed the finger at those who had something to do with King Yun or the nobles of the court, sarcastically and sarcastically. If you really can't do it, you can say some cool things and ridicule the person who has something to do with the nobles of the court, so as to show that you are noble and different.

Therefore, when Shi Xiong said in front of Hengzhou Assassin Shi that Zhang Wei had a relationship with the nobles in the imperial court, Zhang Wei immediately stopped his desire to continue to play, and turned his head and asked Hengzhou Assassin Shidao: "Lord Assassin Shi, before the enemy army came to Hengzhou, did our Datang often do trade with the north?" ”

Trade?

Trade with the Uighurs in the north?

This is the same as interrogating a prisoner, as if someone from Hengzhou has done something unseemly.

Hengzhou Assassin Shi was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "To tell you the truth, Hengzhou is located on the border, and often trades with the north, and has traded with the Turks before, and now also has dealings with the Uighurs. However, the amount of transactions was not large, and there was no violation of the regulations of the imperial court. ”

Trade is trade, but we have always carried out the rules of the imperial court, and we have never violated the rules of the imperial court.

Zhang Wei wanted to laugh a little when he heard this, and looked at the sincere look of the Hengzhou Thorn Shi who was over half a hundred years old, but he still held back, "Okay--, since we have trade in goods between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, why don't we take advantage of this relationship?" ”

Zhang Wei turned to Shi Xiong and said, "General Shi, I think so, since our Tang Dynasty has had trade with the Uighurs in the north before, we can take advantage of this relationship. ”

Take advantage of the trade relations between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks?

Zhang Wei said that Shi Xiong and Hengzhou Thorn Shi looked confused, it was too profound, we can't understand it at this level of culture!

What do you mean by that? I don't understand, can you make it clearer. "Fortunately, Shi Xiong is a direct person, and he has a fine tradition of being diligent and inquisitive.

"Okay, then I'll make it clearer." Zhang Wei continued: "My idea is this, I am going to take the method of camouflage during the day and riding at night, and bring our army to Yinshan at one time. During the day, we could arrange for some soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as Uighur merchants and transport our grain, grass, tents, and so on to Yinshan on carriages. After all, Shanxi was an outsider, and even if they found out about the Uighur traders, they would not dare to do anything. ”

Disguise his soldiers as Uighur merchants and deliver military supplies such as grain, grass, and tents.

What a bold idea!
