Chapter Seventy-Four: Surrender to the Enemy

In this era, there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Gan Ning's fame is not so great, but He Yongchang still knows this person and knows his deeds of robbing the camp with hundreds of horses.

But how did he pick it up? Say you're not as good as Gan Ning? That's for sure, he is a famous general in Eastern Wu, and he is just a small general, he has a hundred cavalry robbery camps, and he has nothing.

But if you want to tell this fact yourself, I don't want to talk about it, because he is not as good as Gan Ning now, and it doesn't mean that he will not be as good as him in the future! Who hasn't had some ambitions? When he helps the second prince get rid of this Chen Rui and climbs the line of the second prince, the soaring is just around the corner, and when the time comes, he will make some meritorious contributions on the battlefield, who said that he is worse than Gan Ning?

But now it's better than the facts, and it's impossible for five hundred horsemen to rob the camp, and it's almost the same before the camp, so for the sake of his own life, he gritted his teeth and said, "How can the last general be compared with that Gan Xingba?" There is still self-knowledge of this, but the Liang army is attacking urgently, and the defense of the rear army must be weak, and the general can take this opportunity to attack the rear, crush the enemy army in one fell swoop, and build an immortal feat. ”

Chen Rui was a little angry, did this person treat him as a fool? showed a look of displeasure: "The 300,000 people of the Liang army, can't it be broken in one fell swoop?" If General He wants to make immortal feats, he can lead his troops and horses to go by himself. ”

He Yongchang was anxious, why didn't this person be so young and impulsive at all? He persecuted him with guilt, it was useless, he lured him with meritorious deeds, and he didn't feel the slightest emotion, is he still a young man who is not enough to be weak? Or is there an old youkai living inside?

If you go on like this, you can't finish it, and if you can't finish the things that the second prince explained, you won't be able to catch the carriage that is soaring.

So he took a deep breath and said: "General Pang wants to wait for me to camp here, is to help each other, and now the Liang army has been storming Ansan County for three days, and the general has never made any moves, is the general a greedy and afraid of death, so that our army does not care about victory or defeat, and just wants to steal life?" ”

"Presumptuous, if you dare to talk nonsense, military law will not tolerate it." Chen Rui got up angrily.

Guan Yong, Feng Fan and others pulled He Yongchang and signaled him not to say any more.

When He Yongchang saw that Chen Rui was angry, he felt that his agitation method was effective, and it was too late to rejoice, so how could he care about their dissuasion?

"If General Chen is greedy for life and afraid of death and does not dare to fight, he should apologize and resign and choose another meritocracy."

"Is General He trying to take away my military power?"

"Don't dare, General Chen, you don't know how to fight yet, you are an incompetent person, it is General Pang who is lenient and benevolent, and entrusts this important task to you, but the general does not think about repaying his gratitude for his own life and death, and betrays General Pang's trust in vain."

"Come on, He Yongchang resisted my general's order, disturbed the hearts of our army, and beheaded He Yongchang to show the public, and executed it immediately."

Left and right stepped forward to arrest He Yongchang, He Yongchang saw that he was going to kill someone if he didn't agree with him, and he began to panic in his heart, but he was excited just now, and he didn't notice that his words were too radical for a while, and he was really offended, so he couldn't pull this face when he opened his mouth to intercede, but fortunately, the other three generals gave up their hands to help him intercede.

"Although He Yongchang committed a crime, he was killed before the war, which is not good for our army!"

"Yes! The general was angry, General He had an upright personality, and there was inevitably a collision between his words, but he was not disgusting, he was still exempted from the death penalty first, and it was not too late to kill the Liang army! ”

"Spare General He this time!"

And the six partial generals of the Qin army just watched this scene with interest and did not speak.

Chen Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, "The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, and he will beat fifty military rods in front of He Yongchang's camp to set an example." ”

He Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he hit fifty, he would fight fifty, it was better than death, and he was not afraid of rough skin and thick flesh, but he wanted to kill Chen Rui to curry favor with the second prince before, but now it is mixed with personal vendettas.

Several partial generals didn't say much, and pulled He Yongchang down left and right, and soon after, "Bang!" came out. Boom! Bang ......", and He Yongchang's groans in pain.

That night, He Yongchang lay on the couch, crying out in pain from time to time, but he still worked hard to write, and after a while, a secret letter was written, blowing the ink, and when the ink was dry, he picked up the envelope next to him, called his cronies, and handed the letter to him after whispering.

Although the cronies were surprised, they still followed He Yongchang's instructions and secretly sneaked out of the camp and hid in the mountains and forests below, but they were intercepted before they could go far.

But it was Zhang Ning who knocked him unconscious with a blow from the back and brought the people and secret letters back to the camp.

He Yongchang is so jumpy, how can Chen Rui be defenseless? After the crowd dispersed, he instructed Zhang Ning to closely monitor his every move.

Chen Rui was a little surprised when he saw the content of the secret letter, this person was so small-minded, he was about to surrender to the enemy just because of fifty boards. In this secret letter, the deployment of the camp was clearly written, and in order to show sincerity and seek the kindness of high-ranking officials, he was also willing to respond internally.

He Yongchang also thought clearly after being beaten on the board, where is Feihuang Tengda not Feihuang Tengda? So he came up with the idea of defecting to the enemy.

After Chen Rui frowned and pondered for a while, he also wrote a letter, handed over both letters to Zhang Ning, and whispered.

Zhang Ning understood, nodded and went out to make arrangements.

In the camp of the Liang army, a horse entered the big tent of the Chinese army: "Report to the general and capture an enemy spy." ”

"Oh? Bring it on. Xie Wu said.

After a while, a man dressed as a common man was brought into the tent, and the man shouted as he struggled: "I am a messenger, and I am in a hurry to see your general, not a spy......

"Let him go."

Let go of him left and right and take a step back to prevent him from hurting people.

Xie Wu looked at him with interest and asked, "Do you have any urgent matters to ask me to see?" ”

After the Great Chen Dynasty unified the world, it also unified the official language, and even after the disintegration, the countries continued to use it, but the local spoken language was serious, so Xie Wu knew that this was a Chu person when he heard it.

The messenger straightened his robe and said proudly, "This is the hospitality of the cool people?" ”

Xie Wu laughed: "You and I are enemy countries, and it is already a blessing of heaven if I didn't push you out to ask for beheading, so how can you say that you are hospitality?" ”

"When the two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys, and when they come down, they give a big gift to the general, and if the general doesn't want it, he will leave below."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the two Liang sergeants behind him, he turned around and looked at Xie Wu: "What does the general mean?" ”

"Your Excellency, go slowly, what is the great gift, you might as well come and listen to it." Xie Wu stared at him and said.

The Chu sergeant did not continue to put on the score, and took out the secret letter from the secret place and presented it: "The general will know it at a glance." ”

A Liang sergeant next to him picked up the secret letter he submitted and handed it to Xie Wu, Xie Wu took the secret letter, opened it and looked at it, and after reading the secret letter, his eyes were already secretive, and he looked at the Chu sergeant and said: "This is a trick to surrender, you can't deceive me." ”

When the soldiers of Chu heard this, as if they had heard some funny and interesting story, they laughed out loud, and then they finally stopped laughing and said, "I didn't expect that the world-famous General Xie was such a timid person. ”

"Fanatics, dare to insult my general, can't you find death?" A general in the account stood up and said angrily.

The Chu sergeant ignored him, looked at Xie Wu and said: "If the general believes, he will make an appointment with my general, if the general does not believe it, he should never come here." ”

Xie Wu said expressionlessly: "Escort him down." ”

"Let me go, let me go, the two countries will not fight each other, if the general doesn't believe me, then I haven't been here, it's ......"

After the man was escorted out of the big tent, Xie Wu circulated the letter to the generals in the camp, and after seeing it, he looked happy, and he looked solemn, and fell into a deep groan, and after everyone finished circulating, Xie Wu said: "What do you think? ”

"The large camp on the mountain of the Chu army does make our army shackled, and it is also what our army needs to be removed, but this is clearly the Chu army's trick to surrender, and it must not be trusted," Xie Wu finished speaking, and a general below hurriedly stood up and said.

"I don't think it's necessarily fake, after all, the commander of the battalion on the mountain is young and can't serve the people, and it is also a normal and reasonable thing to abuse military law and force the generals below to defect." A dissenting general shook his head and said.

"But what if this is a trick to surrender, what if our army is ambushed?"

"If our army can't win a quick victory and bring reinforcements from the Chu army, our army's advantage will be gone, how can we take Xiangzhou? Most of the western part of the Lower Chu State? ”

"It's better to be safe, our army can't afford to lose, and my Liang country can't afford to lose, even if we don't win, we can't be defeated, otherwise our Liang country is in danger."

……

The generals below insisted on their own words and argued, and after Xie Wu frowned and pondered for a while, he already had a plan in his heart, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "We can't be defeated!" ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone already knew that Xie Wu was going to give up this opportunity, and that he couldn't lose meant that he couldn't take risks, that is, he was suspicious of this surrender and didn't win his trust.

Those who agreed with the offer were silent but did not speak out, considering the risks.

Xie Wu summoned the left and right and ordered them to release the Chu soldiers, but at this time, there was a report from the visiting horse, saying that they had caught another spy of the Chu army.

The people in the account looked at me, I looked at you, there was a look of doubt in their eyes, Xie Wu took a deep breath and said, "Bring it up." ”

The person who came was also dressed as a common person, but the difference was that he did not struggle, nor did he shout, after Xie Wu waved his hand and let go of him left and right, he bowed and said politely: "I have heard the prestige of General Xie for a long time, and when I saw it today, I found that the general's demeanor and bearing were even more rumored." ”

"You can talk, but why did you Chu people come to my military tent? Didn't you come to Toucheng? Xie Wu laughed out loud after speaking.

Bailihuo also smiled lightly: "The general said that he was joking, I came here on the order of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of my family, and I wanted to cooperate with General Xie to get rid of the common enemy." ”

"A common enemy?" Xie Wu was interested and said, "What is a common enemy? ”

Bailihuo pointed to the direction of Chen Rui's camp on the mountain and said, "Chen Rui, Chen Rui, the vanguard general of the mountain battalion, my Royal Highness wants his life." ”

"If the second prince of your family wants to get rid of him, he will do it himself, what does it have to do with me? Why should I work with him? Xie Wu was unmoved and said lightly.

Bailihuo was not in a hurry, slowly took out the letter from his arms, held it with both hands, and said: "My Royal Highness has a letter, and I also ask the general to look at it, and the general will know it at a glance." ”

Xie Wu waved his hand, asked the left and right to pick it up, took the letter and read it carefully.
