Chapter 20: Internal Divisions

When Han Xuan heard the report, he asked the generals: "Who dares to be the vanguard and retreat from the Qiang soldiers?" ”

Guan Ping and Guan Xing responded: "A certain wish to go." ”

Han Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "You two are going, and Nai is not familiar with the road." ”

It happened that Ma Dai came, and Han Xuan said to Ma Dai: "You know the nature of the Qiang people, and you have lived in Xiliang for a long time, so you can be a guide for the army." ”

Han Xuanqi had 50,000 elite soldiers and went with Guan Ping and Guan Xing. Guan Ping will lead his troops away. The army marched for a few days, and the front was met by the Qiang soldiers first.

Guan Xing first led more than 100 horsemen to climb the hillside to watch, only to see the Qiang soldiers connect the iron chariot end to end, and set up a village everywhere, and the car was full of weapons, just like a city.

Guan Xing watched for a long time, but there was no way to break the enemy, so he returned to the village to discuss with Guan Ping and Ma Dai.

Ma Dai frowned slightly: "Let's wait to see the battle in the coming day, watch the reality and reality, and make another plan." ”

The next morning, the Xia army divided its troops into three routes: Guan Ping in the center, Guan Xing on the left, and Ma Dai on the right. In the Qiang array, Marshal Yueji held a hammer in his hand, hung a treasure carved bow at his waist, and leaped out bravely.

Guan Ping beckoned the three-way soldiers and horses to move forward. Suddenly, the Qiang cavalry was divided on both sides, and iron carts were released in the center, like a tide, and bows and crossbows were fired together. The Xia soldiers were defeated, the two armies of Ma Dai and Guan Ping retreated first, and the first army of Guan Xing was wrapped by the Qiang soldiers and went straight to the northwest corner.

Guan Xing is in the heart, rushing left and right, unable to get out, and the iron car is surrounded by a dense circle, like a city. Xia Bing can't take care of each other. Guan Xing walked into the valley.

It was getting late, only to see a cluster of soap flags appear, Qiang soldiers swarmed, a Qiang general, holding a hammer shouted: "The young general is leaving!" I am Marshal Koekichi also! ”

Guan Xing hurriedly walked to the front, tried his best to whip his horse, but encountered a broken stream, so he had to go back to Malaysia to fight Yueji. Guan Xing was frightened after all, he couldn't resist the enemy, and fled in the stream.

Yue Ji caught up, a hammer hit, Guan Xing hurriedly flashed, and hit the horse's crotch. The horse fell into the stream, and Guan Xing fell into the water. Suddenly, there was a sound, and Yue Ji and the horses behind him suddenly fell into the water.

When Guan Xing struggled to get up in the water to look, he saw a general on the shore, killing the Qiang soldiers. Guan Xing raised a knife to cut Yue Ji, and Yue Ji jumped away. Guan Xing captured Yueji's horse, led it to the shore, straightened the saddle bridle, and mounted the horse with a sword.

I saw that the general who rescued him was still chasing and killing the Qiang soldiers in front. Guan Xing thought that this person saved his life and should meet him, so he rushed over.

When he got closer, he saw a man wearing heavy armor and riding a dark war horse in the midst of the clouds and mist. When Guan Xing got closer, he was shocked to see the man's white skin, yellow hair, and blue eyes.

When the foreign general saw Guan Xing coming, he pointed to the southeast with his hand and said a string of languages that Guan Xing did not understand. As soon as he finished speaking, a foreign army in heavy armor and spears came and fought with the Qiang soldiers.

Guan Xing hurried to the southeast, and in the middle of the night, suddenly a Biao army arrived, and it turned out to be Guan Ping.

Guan Ping asked, "Have you ever seen a soldier and a horse that doesn't look like a soldier of Middle-earth?" ”

Guan Xing nodded and asked him, "How do you know?" ”

Guan Ping replied: "I was very chased by the Iron Carriage Army, and suddenly I saw a strange-looking Fan soldier come out and retreat the Qiang soldiers. Because of the incomprehension of words, he will have a man guide me, and I will lead the army here to find you. ”

Guan Xing saw the soldier who led the way, and saw that he had a pair of blue eyes, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge, not like Qiang people or barbarians, and everyone was surprised.

Guan Ping and Guan Xing returned to Dazhai together, and Ma Dai then said to the two: "This army has no way to retreat. I will guard the fence, and the two of you will go to the marshal and use the trick to break it. ”

So Guan Ping and Guan Xing came to see Han Xuan in the starry night and talked about the past in detail.

Han Xuan heard the two of them talk about the foreign army, and said in surprise: "What is the current situation in the West, why are there white Europeans on the border of China?" ”

"Well, marshal, what are you talking about?" Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others were confused.

Han Xuan explained to them: "The world is not the only place in China. And here we go westward, and leap over the mountains and the vast deserts, and there are many foreign nations, and as you see, they are the soldiers of the Gentiles! ”

"I have heard from Your Majesty about this matter before." Zhuge Liang believed Han Xuan's words.

"I want to see the soldiers of this state, but now I must first break the soldiers." After Han Xuan finished speaking, he immediately ordered Zhao Tong and Pang De to lead an army to ambush first.

Han Xuan ordered 30,000 military horses, led Jiang Wei, Wang Ping, Guan Xing, and Guan Ping to personally come to Ma Dai Village to rest.

The next day, Han Xuan led the generals to go up to Gaofu to watch, only to see the Qiang people's iron cars in endless contact, people and horses, galloping back and forth.

Han Xuan smiled: "This is not difficult to break. ”

Han Xuan summoned Ma Dai and Wang Ping to give instructions. The two of them went, and Han Xuan asked Jiang Wei to ask, "Does Boyo know the way to break the car?" ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "The Qiang people only rely on their bravery, how do they know the clever plan? ”

Han Xuan knew that Jiang Wei was still unconvinced, and said with a smile: "Boyo, look at the sky, the clouds are thick, the wind is urgent, the sky is about to snow, I can do it." ”

Han Xuan ordered Guan Xing and Guan Ping to lead troops to ambush, and Jiang Wei led the troops to battle. Han Xuan instructed Jiang Wei that as long as there were iron chariot soldiers coming, he would retreat and leave, and the banner would be erected at the entrance of the village, and no military horses would be set. Ready.

It was December, and it was snowing heavily. Jiang Wei led the army to battle, Yue Ji led the iron chariot soldiers, and Jiang Wei immediately retreated. The Qiang soldiers rushed to the front of the village, and Jiang Wei went from behind the village.

The Qiang soldiers watched until the outside of the village, heard the noise in the village, and erected flags in the four walls, and did not see Xia Bing alone, so he hurriedly reported to Yueji.

Yue Ji was suspicious in his heart and did not dare to move forward easily. Prime Minister Yadan said: "This is Han Xuan's trick, and he is a fictitious suspicious soldier." You can attack it. ”

Yue Ji led the troops to the front of the village, only to see Han Xuan riding a chariot, leading dozens of horsemen into the village, looking behind and leaving. The Qiang soldiers rushed into the fence, rushed across the mountain pass, and saw that Han Xuan and the others had faintly turned into the mountains and forests.

Yadan said to Yue Ji: "Although these soldiers and horses have ambushes, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

The two then led the army to chase after them, and saw that Jiang Wei's soldiers were running in the snow. Yue Ji was furious and urged his troops to chase after him. The mountain road is covered with heavy snow and is flat as far as the eye can see.

While he was chasing, he suddenly reported that the summer soldiers came out from behind the mountain. Yadan sneered: "Even if there are some small ambush soldiers, why be afraid! ”

The two of them only cared about urging the soldiers and horses to move forward. Suddenly, there was a sound, like a landslide, and all the Qiang soldiers fell into the trench. The iron cart behind him slid on the snow, and it was difficult to stop, and they all rushed over, and the Qiang soldiers trampled on each other.

When the Qiang soldiers were about to come back in a hurry, Guan Xing on the left and Guan Ping on the right, the two armies rushed out, and ten thousand crossbows were fired in unison. Behind the scenes, Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, and Wang Ping were killed again, and the iron chariot soldiers were in chaos.

Marshal Yueji looked at the valley behind and fled, just as he met Guan Xing, handed over the horse less than Shihe, was raised by Guan Xing and shouted, hacked to death under the horse. Prime Minister Yadan was captured alive by Ma Dai and escorted to Dazhai. The Qiang soldiers scattered and fled.

Han Xuan and the generals were arguing in the big tent of the Chinese army about continuing to march into the army, and Ma Dai escorted Yadan to come.

Zhuge Liang asked the warriors to loosen the tie for him, and appeased Yadan and said: "My lord is the emperor of the dynasty, and now I am ordered to beg for thieves, how can you help and rebel?" Now I will let you go back, and say to your lord: My country is a neighbor, and it is good to be in alliance forever, and do not listen to the words of the thief. ”。

Zhuge Liang also prepared to return all the Qiang soldiers and chariots and horses he had obtained to Yadan and let him return to China. Han Xuan hurriedly stopped: "Why is the prime minister so lenient? Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Let him go now, and he will be a thief in the future, and he will invade my border! ”

Han Xuan knew that this Qiang tribe was one of the culprits of the later Wuhu Chaohua, that is, the white-eyed wolf who could not be raised. Zhuge Liang said: "What the marshal said, Liang also knows." It's just that Sima Yi is still here, if he is bent on fighting the Qiang people, what is the rear of our army? ”
