Chapter 6 Triggering but Not Triggering
Inside the wooden box was a bloody human head.
The angry eyes are wide, the mouth is wide open, the blood on the face has long been dried up, it is jet black, and the beard with sideburns and cheeks is erect like steel needles, it is Zhai Longbiao, the king of the Great Chu Guanxi.
After dividing his troops with Xuanwu General Zhang Baiqian that day, Zhai Longbiao led his men and horses to bite the scattered fierce warriors and chase them fiercely. Although the injured Sunrise gritted his teeth to clean up the remnants, he tried in vain to regroup and counterattack in time. Helplessly, it was too bitter to be chased and killed by the Chu army, and there was no respite at all, so he had to swallow his anger and retreat again and again.
The main force that fought hard in front of Feihong Pass gradually lost its sharpness because Feihong Pass could not be attacked for a long time.
When the Great Khan heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the enemy army, after judging the situation and sizing up the situation, he took the initiative to retreat in order to avoid his men and horses falling into a passive situation of being caught in the front and rear. Although the men and horses in charge of the palace were bitten hard by the Great Chu army that was chasing and killing quickly, the scene was very ugly for a while, but fortunately, they did not hurt their muscles and bones.
In the process of retreating, Bars managed to finally get in touch with the men and horses led by Rising Sungan, and at the same time learned that there was an army of Great Chu that was alone in the steppe. A flash of inspiration flashed in Bars's mind, and he suddenly came to his senses.
He desperately needs a big win to re-boost the team's morale!
On the one hand, Bars sent people to strengthen communication and liaison with the Rising Sun Cadre Department, and ordered them to continue to put on a posture of being vulnerable and fleeing when they heard the wind, and formed a circle on the grassland with the Chu army, who were not familiar with the place; On the one hand, he ordered his subordinate soldiers to speed up the pace of action, quietly surrounded Zhai Longbiao's men and horses, set traps, and completed all preparations before the ambush.
Zhai Longbiao, the king of the Great Chu Guanxi, who was complacent and careless about the enemy, led his subordinates to be elite and strong, and was finally lured into the trap preset by the Great Khan Bars step by step.
In the face of the enemy army, which had been prepared for a long time and was several times larger than himself, after a tragic battle, the Great Chu army was annihilated.
And Zhai Longbiao, the king of Guanxi, himself, although he was hit by several arrows and covered with knife wounds, still roared and wielded the big axe, wantonly slashing and killing the thieves, but because of the exhaustion of qi and blood, he was swept off the horse with a stick in the chaos of the rising sun, spurting blood from his mouth, and died with hatred.
After the victory, the morale of the warriors was greatly boosted, and King Bals Khan took the opportunity to adjust and rearrange all the horses, and ordered people to cut off Zhai Longbiao's head, put it in a wooden box, and recruit warriors to send it to Feihong Pass.
Mandu Ratu, a Tunisian one-armed warrior, embraced this glorious mission with determination to die.
Xuanwu General Zhang Baiqian recovered from the initial shock, and then his eyes were red and furious. He jerked out his saber at his waist, turned, gritted his teeth, and walked towards Mandu Latu without saying a word.
Mandu Ratu took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and struggled to raise his head and straighten his back. It was the entourage behind him who was holding the wooden box just now, his body trembling violently uncontrollably, his hands and feet were completely disobedient, his body was like a swing, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Guan Yu was no less shocked than the Xuanwu general Zhang Baiqian, and at the same time had mixed feelings in his heart. But when he saw Zhang Baiqian gritting his teeth, his eyes red, and striding towards the enemy's envoy with his sword in his hand without saying a word, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and at the same time forced himself to calm down first.
Mandu Latu looked at the once kind eyebrows, but now his face was hideous, and the general of Dachu, who came with a sword, snorted coldly in his nose, and said: "General, since I dare to come to give this great gift, I have already made up my mind to die, and if I want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”。
Zhang Baiqian was slightly stunned and hesitated slightly. At this time, Guan Yu, who had already walked to his side, whispered to him: "Brother Bai Qian, it is easy to kill these envoys, and listen to what he still wants to say!" ”。 Zhang Baiqian gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.
Guan Yu raised his head and asked with a straight face: "In addition to giving "gifts", what else do you grassland khans have to say?" ”。
Mandu Ratu glanced at the unfamiliar general, turned his face to Zhang Baiqian and said: "My Khan King said: If the general knows each other, he will immediately withdraw his troops, retreat to the Yumen Pass, and give up the Feihong Pass. In this way, our army can guarantee that it will not attack Qingzhou Mansion within half a year! ”。
The guards who put the steel knife on Mandu Latu's neck heard the crisp sound of their teeth, and with just one look, they would chop the bold madman in front of him into meat sauce.
When Guan Yu heard this, he laughed angrily and replied: "The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed, so we will not slaughter you and wait!" When you go back, you will also have a message for your king of the Khan: First, come and do not be rude, let him insist on washing his neck every day. Second, retreat to the depths of the grassland and never invade our Dachu border again, and our army can guarantee that it will not clear the nest of the others within three months! ”。
Mandu Ratu's face changed when he heard this, and he didn't say a word angrily.
After Guan Yu said that, he turned a blind eye to the two envoys, waved his hand to the guards, and said: "Escort the two of them down, and each of them will be rewarded with fifty military sticks, which can be regarded as leaving a mark, and then let them go back on their own." ”
The guards were stunned, and then turned their searching eyes to General Xuanwu.
Zhang Baiqian lowered his eyes and nodded quietly. The guards pushed and shoved the two messengers out of the tent.
Zhang Baiqian glanced outside the tent and asked in a low voice, "General Guan, why don't you cut it to make it more resentful?" ”。
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "It's still useful for these two to keep. We only know that the thieves are hiding in the depths of the grassland, but the exact direction depends on the guidance of these two guides. ”
Zhang Baiqian nodded suddenly, and the two of them turned around in unison, looking at the wooden box on the table, with a sad look on their faces.
Guan Yu said in a low voice: "Brother Bai Qian, please send someone to get a well-dressed mound to bury my fourth brother first." This matter should be reported to the capital in a timely manner and cannot be concealed. As for the fourth sister-in-law, you can hide it for as long as you can! ”。
When Zhang Baiqian heard this, he was suddenly saddened and lowered his head silently.
Guan Yu sighed softly, and then cheered up and said, "Brother Baiqian, gather your subordinates immediately." The so-called Khan should not have known that I was leading a large army. The soldiers are fast, you and I will join forces again to quell the rebellion in the border fortress and avenge the hatred of the prince of the West, it is urgent! ”。
At this time, there was a "crackling" sound of sticks falling outside the tent, mixed with bursts of miserable howls, Guan Yu turned a deaf ear, said goodbye to Zhang Baiqian and hurriedly walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
