Chapter 32 Huan Xiaobao's first use of soldiers

Previous Chapter

It is said that although Guo Ba has been infiltrating the gentle township all day long, his brain is not confused. knew that the old man named Ah Ugly did have some real talents, but he always had a heart, and asked the strategist Zhou You to follow the ugly old man to be a lobbyist.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Huan Xiaobao saw a general standing on the city gate, in a white robe and silver armor, holding a spear in his hand, and his voice was vigorous, and he shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

Huan Xiaobao crossed his hands and said: "We are Marshal Guo's envoys, and we are here to meet the Lord." The white-robed general looked at Huan Xiaobao, pointed at Zhou You and said, "You go back and tell your master to dispel that pickled idea as soon as possible, otherwise I, Tan, will definitely take off his head." That Zhou You's liver was broken, and he hugged his head and ran back.

Huan Xiaobao crossed his hand and said: General Tan is so majestic, admire and admire. Please put down the suspension bridge, but there is something important to discuss.

The man just snorted coldly, and didn't see any movement. Huan Xiaobao said loudly: "This Qingcheng is inhabited by people from the city, which is really appropriate." The beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, I don't know if there is a good day on the left, is the beautiful scenery safe? Huan Xiaobao vaguely felt that there was a dark figure at the height of the city gate, and he didn't know who it was, so before he could think about it, the drawbridge was put down.

Huan Xiaobao on the city wall, but did not see the previous black shadow, only to see that Tan Ci was about twenty years old, and the person he saw at the gate of Taihe Academy that morning was about the same age, eight feet long, with a burly physique, lion arms and wolf waist, and it was indeed a character. Huan Xiaobao followed the servant to Xiao Ziwu's residence, and when he entered the room, he saw the array of armor soldiers on both sides, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and bright as frost and snow. Xiao Ziwu sat in front of him, still with the same cold expression he had when he was in Taihe. Huan Xiaobao glanced at Xiao Ziwu and saw that there was a dark green under her eyes, although she tried her best to cover it, she still showed traces. Looking at Xiao Ziwu like this, Huan Xiaobao smiled unkindly and said: The old man is here to make peace with a good thing. When Xiao Ziwu heard this, he let out a sneer, tilted his head slightly to the right, clubbed it with his right hand, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the little old man, and felt a trace of disgust.

Huan Xiaobao didn't pay attention to it, and took out the matchmaker's posture and said: Seeing that the Lord is really a fairy-like character today, and our Marshal Guo is really a pair of beautiful people. If the lord agrees, he can not only get the king, but also drive the marshal's army to balance the grandson, wouldn't this be a double happiness. Huan Xiaobao saw that Xiao Ziwu's face slowly sank and turned into a somewhat terrifying dark blue, and continued: Old man pinched his fingers and counted that tonight was an auspicious time, but... Before Huan Xiaobao finished speaking, a cold light struck, and Huan Xiaobao was surprised: You can't do it.

As soon as Xiao Ziwu raised his hand, although that Tan Ci was still angry, he still stepped aside.

Xiao Ziwu walked in front of Huan Xiaobao and said: The old man said very well, but this is a happy event, how to make it without a red hijab. I heard that this man's blood stained the red hijab was particularly dazzling. Huan Xiaobao saw that Xiao Ziwu began to bluff people again, and thought: It's really boring. But at the moment, it is not ruled out that Xiao Ziwu has something to do here, so he has to continue: What the old man said is indeed the most beneficial to the Lord at the moment. The sword of the Lord is sonorous, and there are many talents, and the old man is really flustered, so he can't reach the meaning, please forgive me. Lord, please listen to the old man in detail, can you please ask the Lord to let the two sides of the fence stand down first. If the lord is not satisfied with what the old man said, the old man can cut the oil pot with a thousand cuts.

That Xiao Ziwu looked at the little old man in front of him, and had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, thinking that a little old man couldn't make waves, so he withdrew his executioner, leaving only Tan Ci and a few henchmen with him.

Huan Xiaobao saw that the weizi hand retreated, and he didn't pay attention to everyone, so he directly found a place and sat down. I made a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and everyone thought it was strange. The burly general next to him drew his sword and said angrily: The little old man was rude, so he simply killed him, let's rush out and kill that Guo Ba. was stopped by Tan Ci.

"What is the plan, sir?" asked the Tan Ci forked hand. Huan Xiaobao was surprised, this Tan Ci is really interested in Xiao Ziwu, the future new monarch, not as reckless as just now, it seems that the news of the old man Bao is indeed accurate, the talent of the general, and the pillar of the country.

Huan Xiaobao took the map on Xiao Ziwu's bed, swiped his finger, and said: Do you think that if the deep ditch and high fortress wall are not out, Guo Ba will be dragged to death? No, east of Qingcheng is the Luo River, if Guo Ba makes people break the embankment, then all the people of Qingcheng will be buried in the belly of the fish. The people wondered,

Na Xiao Ziwu said: Please sir, please give me advice. Huan Xiaobao continued: At the moment, we can only discuss relatives. Before everyone could object, Huan Xiaobao continued: I can only temporarily use the name of the family to let Guo Bawang retreat from Qingcheng thirty years away, so as to become a custom of marrying. I have my own arrangements.

At the end, Xiao Ziwu asked, "Dare to ask Mr. where have you seen it", Huan Xiaobao smiled and said: Fate will be known when the time comes.

Back to Guo Ba's tent, Huan Xiaobao handed over Xiao Ziwu's handwritten book, and after Guo Ba finished reading it, his heart was happy, and he set up a wine and feast.

Guo Ba's wedding clothes and wedding utensils that had already been prepared were sent to Xiao Ziwu by Xiaohuan Xiaobao in person. Huan Xiaobao thought to himself, this thing is really early! I don't know how long I've been thinking about it.

Huan Xiaobao returned to Qingcheng, and Tan Ci personally greeted him, and hurriedly asked the people under him to entertain the envoys sent by Guo Ba with wine and dinner. During the banquet, the cups were changed, the chips were staggered, and the red makeup was charming, the colorful embroidery, the sheng song was tactful, and the messengers were drunk, Huan Xiaobao took the opportunity to sneak over, and Tan Ci arranged the carriage and horse, and went straight to the attic where Xiao Ziwu temporarily lived. In the carriage Huan Xiaobao thought about this Xiao Ziwu somehow anxious, and saw her accepting Guo Ba's happy clothes with a smile on her face during the day, nodding and smiling at those rare playthings, I don't know how to despise Guo Ba's hospitality in my heart. A woman's courtesy to a man she hates is only disgusting!

Sure enough, as soon as Huan Xiaobao saw that Xiao Ziwu, Xiao Ziwu said without greetings: "I don't know what Mr. Dao's plan is, which can help me get out of this predicament." ”

Thinking of the experience of being intimidated by this Xiao Ziwu in the past, Huan Xiaobao naturally did not let go of this rare opportunity, so he deliberately stimulated: "The only shortcut at the moment is that the Lord agrees to the marriage, and I will wait for the driver." That Xiao Ziwu seemed to have collapsed to the edge, his face turned purple and swollen, his body collapsed uncontrollably on the couch, his left hand trembled and groped around his waist, Huan Xiaobao saw that Xiao Ziwu had never been so embarrassed, and his heart was shocked: Could it be that this guy has a heart disease? Huan Xiaobao regretted it in his heart, and hurriedly helped Xiao Ziwu to help her get right, but he didn't think that Xiao Ziwu's consciousness was confused, and when he hit a living person, he bit down on Huan Xiaobao's arm, Huan Xiaobao suddenly felt pain, and felt that the hairs on his body stood upside down. This scene was seen by the waiter Meijing who happened to come in, only to see him hurriedly running in from the outside, taking out a sachet and putting it on the tip of Xiao Ziwu's nose, that Xiao Ziwu slowly woke up and let go of his mouth.

Huan Xiaobao was bitten by Xiao Ziwu, his internal breath moved, and his face couldn't be hung up, and the disguise technique alternated repeatedly on his face. Tan Ci and Xiao Ziwu's henchmen and generals saw that there seemed to be movement inside, and they rushed in together, shocked to see Huan Xiaobao's unpredictable face, and Huan Xiaobao hurriedly withdrew the disguise technique. I wanted to laugh, but if I had a hippie smile right now, those veterans would have thought they were playing here. just waited for Xiao Ziwu to speak.

That Xiao Ziwu sucked Huan Xiaobao's blood, and felt a warm and long force penetrate from the dantian to the limbs, and his body suddenly felt a lot lighter, and his heart was amazed. This kind of feeling can only be felt when Uncle Ouyang regulates his internal breath, how can Huan Xiaobao's blood be more effective than the internal force of a martial arts master. How could this little man's skill be so high?

After Xiao Ziwu calmed down, he returned to his previous appearance, looked at Huan Xiaobao and said to everyone in a cold and steady tone: This is the military advisor I invited, everyone listens to the command of the military advisor. Huan Xiaobao didn't talk nonsense when he heard Xiao Ziwu say this, and looked at Tan Ci, although Tan Ci was a little surprised, he instantly realized: "The people from Guo Ba's side have been arranged, these are their own people." And introduced the generals in turn: Wu Qi, Jiao Yan, Wei Xun, Ma Yue, etc. Xiao Ziwu's cronies and generals Qi Zhen, Huangfuren.

Huan Xiaobao bowed slightly: Now that Guo Ba has retreated thirty miles away and surrounded Qingcheng on all sides, it is expected that our current forces will not be able to conflict. Three days later, it will be a big wedding, where is Qingcheng Yuan Taishou? Tan Ci said: "Qingcheng Taishou is in the side hall. After that, he hurriedly called his cronies to come, that Qingcheng Taishou was named Lu Yan, and he was the descendant of the public loser. Huan Xiaobao saw that the hearts of the people who came were nervous, but at the moment the business was important, he bowed and said: Dare to ask if there is an excellent hiding place in the dense forest outside Lu Bo City. That Lu Taishou looked at the little man in front of him and felt quite familiar, and when he heard this question, he hurriedly replied: "There are secret caves on the mountain, and there are organs around it, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." There are mountains surrounding the cave in the cave, there is a stream in the cave, whenever the bandits and robbers attack, I will arrange for the people in the city to hide the grain and grass materials, and go to the cave to hide, there is enough food in the cave for the need to hide. In recent years, banditry has been rampant, and many of the surrounding counties have been attacked by robbers and cannot survive, but the people of Qingcheng have been able to save their lives and wait for Mingjun. After saying that, he sighed and continued: "In recent years, bandits have been rampant, and the people of Chu have been harassed, and Guo Ba has also committed adultery and thieves, burning, killing and looting, bad people, and the wives of the people of Chu have been scattered, and corpses are everywhere. Speaking of this, Lu Bo sobbed a little, remembering that when his son, daughter-in-law and grandson were praying for blessings in the temple of the Imperial City State, the daughter-in-law was persecuted to death by Guo Ba, and his son and grandson were also killed by his men. Seeing the future monarch of Chu State today, he was doubly emotional.

Meijing made a cup of tea for Lu Bo, and Lu Bo continued after calming down: Guo Ba still has a cadre of Chu nobles who occupy important passes leading to other Jin and Wei states, making it difficult to count the merchants and the people. Huan Xiaobao thought that Xiao Ziwu should know best in his heart, and now he can hear his people really say it, as the future king of Chu State, she must want to inherit the unification as soon as possible and benefit her people more than anyone else!

Huan Xiaobao thought that Xiao Ziwu would say something to comfort this old man who had experienced vicissitudes, but for a long time she just looked into the distance and didn't say a word. The hall was suddenly unusually quiet.

Huan Xiaobao bowed and said, "Lu Bo is benevolent, with your ability, you can definitely escape from the Chu State and excel in other countries, but you still choose to stay, which shows your high righteousness. Those who are righteous will live up to the sky, and they will surely go down in history in the future. Lu Taishou looked at the little man in front of him, and tried his best to think about where he had seen it, only to see the little man continue: "Please ask Lu Bo to secretly tell the residents that in the past two nights, the young men of each family have moved their food and important belongings from the west gate to the mountains to hide. This trip is a secret and must not be disclosed. At noon on the third day, as soon as Guo Ba's welcoming team entered Qingcheng, everyone saw the excitement, and immediately retreated secretly to the west gate, to be fast. Trouble Ruber to prepare five sturdy ships and a number of small boats, and hide them in a wide place. ”

That Lu Yan heard the preparation of the ship, and blurted out: Your Excellency is trying to flood the city? Huan Xiaobaodao: Yes. Guo Ba has an army of 200,000 border tribes, and all bows and horses are skilled, while our army only has 50,000, and there is a huge disparity in strength.

Huan Xiaobao taught Ma Yue: "In the past two days, I have led 3,000 troops to help carry grain and protect the safety of residents. He also instructed Wu Qi: "Bring a thousand troops, prepare cloth bags, pack sand, and wait for the embankment to break in Qingcheng on the third day, and beat the drum as a trumpet." He also instructed Jiao Yan and Wei Xun to bring 3,000 crossbowmen to the strongholds on the south and north gates of the mountains, but when they saw the fugitives, they set up crossbows and shoot them. After Huan Xiaobao finished instructing, he said to everyone: "The terrain of Ximen is the highest, and when the time comes, I will wait with General Tan on the ship for the defeat of Guo Ba's remnants to surrender." The lord can go out of the city in advance, lead General Qi and General Huangfu to pretend to be Guo Ba's welcoming team, burn the camp tent, and defeat Guo Ba's army. ”

After Huan Xiaobao finished speaking, Tan Ci said: "No, there should be a lot of soldiers left in Qinglu by Guo Ba, how can you let the lord take risks." Huan Xiaobao said: "Guo Ba will definitely only leave a very small number of military horses in Qinglu, General Tan, please rest assured." After that, Huan Xiaobao whispered a few words to Xiao Ziwu.

Xiao Ziwu smiled lightly: The military advisor is a good plan.
