After autumn, the night in Jicheng is more quiet, except for the lights in the alleys in the city and the sound of bangzi from the city, the streets that have been curfewed are silent, except for the occasional patrol of the soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a house in the middle of the city near the county government office, it was heavily guarded, and the gate and corridor were guarded by soldiers with armor. This is the residence of Han Sui, the head of the Han family in Jincheng, in Jicheng, after the kingdom moved into the county capital, it requisitioned this neighboring mansion and gave it to Han Sui to use, although Han Sui still stayed in his own military camp outside the city more often, but occasionally returned to the city to spend the night.

At this moment, Han Sui was sitting in the lobby of the house, and the arm-thick butter candles placed on the lamp stands on both sides of the hall occasionally made a crackling sound of lights, illuminating the entire lobby.

Although Han Sui was over forty years old, because of his pampering, the vicissitudes and dry wrinkles that were common to people in the west who had been weathered for a long time disappeared on his face, and his face looked red under the light of candlelight, and the traces of the past years could only be seen on the slight frost on his temples. Although the night was getting darker, Han Sui, who was wearing a brocade robe, was still in excellent spirits, holding a bunch of bamboo slips in his hand, and slowly studying it with full concentration.

Outside the hall, a servant cautiously walked in and whispered:

"Family master, the young monarch has arrived!"

The kingdom snorted and did not look up. Seeing this, the servant retreated in amusement. After a while, Han Chang, who was dressed in a suit, strode in, saw Han Sui looking down at the book, and paused before speaking.

"Uncle!"

Han Sui slowly raised his head when he heard this, and treated the majesty of his subordinates differently from the gloom of the enemy, at this time he looked at Han Chang, who was dressed in military uniform, and his eyes were mixed with kindness and love. Speaking of which, Han Chang and Han Sui look quite similar, with a bit of the charm of Han Sui's youth. Although Han Sui is over forty years old, his only son died early, and he has been childless since then.

"Sit down and talk!"

Han Chang, who nodded when he heard the sound, did not sit down immediately, but approached and presented a piece of silk to Han Sui's case, before bowing down and sitting down on the couch at the bottom and said.

"This is the news from the shadows in the county government, the kingdom has frequently met with various powerful families and tribesmen recently, and it seems that there will be abnormal movements!"

Han Sui quickly glanced at the contents of the silk, only to see that it was full of the names of the generals and tribal lords who had been interviewed by the kingdom recently. He quietly put the silk in his sleeve, and then said to Han Chang in a blink of an eye:

"For the Father knows! You've been a little reckless in entering the city tonight, so don't have a next time! ”

If it was according to the usual rules, when Han Sui entered the city to live, Han Chang would definitely stay in the Han family's camp outside the city. It's just that tonight, after Han Chang learned the news from the secret son of the county government, he didn't leave the city, but stayed on his own initiative.

Han Chang naturally heard that his uncle was expressing his dissatisfaction with his own decision, but he was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and continued to ask in a deep voice:

"The child is bold, I really don't know why my father has always tolerated the presumptuous puff of the kingdom under our eyes. Since the first year of Zhongping, my father has been stubborn and stubborn, and the men of my Han family have fought hard in front of them, so that there is a good situation of the current coalition army. This kingdom is just a mediocre talent in the state, and if he was lucky enough to capture Jicheng, he stole a high position, and there was no one in his eyes, and he wanted to seize the soldiers and horses of my Han family many times, and now he is colluding in secret and plotting misdeeds. My father also used to say, 'A tiger for a while, a disaster for several lifetimes', why can't he make up his mind in this matter? ”

Looking at his indignant nephew, Han Sui was silent. He naturally knew that his subordinates were very puzzled by his behavior of conniving at the kingdom, and there were even private rumors that Han Sui was very afraid of the Wang family's father and son, so he would tolerate it again and again. If other people said such things in front of him, I am afraid that Han Sui would have been severely dealt with for the crime of criticizing the lord and disturbing the morale of the army, but for his own children, Han Sui still had to be patient to point out and teach.

"I know everything you say, so what do you think a father should do?"

"Naturally, it is a preemptive strike, since we have already grasped the evidence of the kingdom's conspiracy, we should take advantage of the fact that they are not yet prepared to transfer troops to attack the county government in one fell swoop, and capture the father and son of the Wang family together, leaving no trouble!"

"And then?" Han Sui still asked with a smile, and even Han Chang didn't see that this was a sign of an angry backlaugh.

“···”

Han Chang was speechless for a while, in his opinion, the top priority now was to kill the Wang family's father and son, and after the killing, it was naturally his uncle who regained the position of the leader of the coalition army.

"Smack!"

Seeing that Han Chang was still sitting in ignorance, Han Sui slapped the table angrily, and he had to be angry, and the halberd pointed at Han Chang and scolded.

"You are so confused, no matter whether you kill the father and son of the Wang family or not, even if you let you kill them, what will you do with the soldiers and horses of the original six counties and the troops of the Wang family, and what will you do in the face of surging public opinion? Could it be that everyone is convinced by this kind of silk, if the soldiers are scattered, won't all these years of hard work be in vain? ”

Han Chang, who was struck by lightning, was suddenly shocked by the angry Han Sui, and after chewing his uncle's words, he was also afraid of the possible result in his heart, he only saw the possibility of success before, but he didn't think about how to deal with himself after the fact, and the surging emotions may be the death period of the person who did it himself.

Feeling that he had angered his uncle, Han Chang's face was as earthy as earth, and he hurriedly left the table and knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to say anything more.

After the reprimand, Han Sui didn't get angry anymore, he quickly adjusted his emotions after calming down, and looked at Han Chang who fell to the ground under the hall, he sighed lightly.

"Get Up"

Han Chang stood up tremblingly as if he had been amnestied, but he didn't dare to sit down, and stood with his head bowed.

Han Sui's fingers tapped the table slightly, the anger just now was intentional on his part, young people in high positions are often easy to be arrogant, no one in their eyes, and only by tapping it appropriately can they accelerate their growth, and then they will naturally be tempted. Han Sui glanced at Han Chang again, and said eloquently:

"The father and son of the Wang family are crazy, and they have soldiers and horses, so I have to unite with them in order to pacify Liangzhou as soon as possible. Since the joint army, I have taken retreat as advance, and deliberately show weakness in order to make them more arrogant and arrogant. They have no internal constraints, in order to truly lead the whole army as soon as possible, they have to go west to attack Chang'an, and fight a bloody battle with the fierce enemies of Dong Zhuo's generation. ”

Hearing this, Han Chang, who had been bowing his head, chuckled in his heart. In the first year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others killed Ling Zheng, the captain of Huqiang, and Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, who was in the limelight for a while, but in fact the strong pawn and good horse in his hand were also seriously injured and replaced, and were replaced by Bian Zhang and his uncle who joined later.

And Bian Zhang was also in turmoil because of Meiyang's defeat, the soldiers were scattered, and finally died of depression, and his uncle took advantage of the situation to annex his troops. Regardless of whether the opponent wins or loses, the uncle has his own way of dealing with them. Thinking of these details that he had forgotten, Han Chang suddenly knew in his heart that Uncle Dare had already set up this series of plans and arrangements when he gave up the position of leader.

The more he thought about it, the more shocked Han Chang became, thinking of his words and deeds just now, and his face turned red for a while. In a hurry, he thought that he could make up for his mistakes, so he quickly raised his head and swept his uncle's expression, and immediately picked up the conversation after finding that Han Sui had calmed down his anger.

"The boy has nothing to do, and he speculates on the plans of the adults. Now that I am fortunate to have the help of adults, the child will definitely follow the order in the future and dare not assert it without permission. Uh-huh, father, what else is there for the child? ”

"Say it"

"Erxi is the deputy general of the selection front, secretly monitoring Wang Fan's every move. But there was one more person in the army who caught the child's idea! ”

"Oh?"

···

"Ahh

Yan Xing, who was sneaking in the grass, couldn't help but sneeze, so frightened that he hurriedly blocked his nose and mouth, but he still made a muffled sound in the grass. The twelve people who were so frightened that they also quickly held their breath, stopped, and lay motionless in the grass.

Tonight, the moon was dark and the wind was high, Yan Xing left three people to guard the horses, and the others used the gradually yellowing grass to approach the camp of the Han army in Chencang, and spied on the Han army's defense from a close distance.

Fortunately, the patrolling Han army had just passed through the periphery of this area, and everyone had a false alarm. Hurriedly quickened his speed, approached the edge of the grass, and spied on the Han army from a close distance.

Yan Xing rubbed his nose, he didn't expect that he would sneeze just now, it seems that he is really not suitable for leading people to drill in the grass. Since 15 days ago, after Yan Xing and the others were ready to cross the southern vein of Longshan, they spent a lot of money to find three hunters who lived at the foot of the mountain as guides, and began to cross the mountains and mountains along the direction of the Weishui River.

Rao prepared sulfur and other materials to prevent snakes and insects, and had a guide who was familiar with the mountain road, or injured a companion on the way, and several horses died, and one of the three guides fell off the cliff without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and one guide was bitten by a poisonous snake while walking through the forest and died instantly. In the end, the sixteen people who went through hardships, wore tattered clothes, and slept in the open finally climbed the last hill and sneaked into the Sanfu Plain.

As soon as Yan Xing set foot on the land of Guanzhong, he hurriedly ordered the already exhausted people to rest and eat, change their clothes, and in order to prevent the leakage of news and the safety of the return, he ordered the last hunter who acted as a guide to be brought with him.

And there is no way to venture to the military camp at night tonight, since the war in the area of Wangxian has resumed, Chen Cangcheng has entered a state of alert. The city has become a military fortress, and it is even more difficult to get close to the military camp outside the city during the day. And Yan Xing and the others must complete the deployment of military affairs in the Sanfu area before it snows in winter, otherwise the heavy snow will close the mountain, and it will be impossible to go back along the same road, so they have to take risks tonight.

Gan Ling and Ma Lin also followed Yan Xing this time, and the two of them immediately squatted in the grass and silently counted the number of bonfires in the Han military camp. Generally speaking, when the army camped at night, there must be a bonfire between several adjacent tents to light the way, which is convenient for the soldiers who go out at night and also expands the field of vision of the patrol soldiers. Therefore, scouts must learn to judge the number of enemy troops through the enemy's stoves and bonfires, and report the information to the commander-in-chief in time to become a standard for measuring the number and combat strength of the enemy.

“······ Eighty-seven, eighty-eight, eighty-nine, I'm eighty-nine! Ma Lin turned his face and said as he looked at Gan Ling's vague side face in the dark.

"I'm eighty-seven!" Gan Ling rolled his eyes and said in a low voice.

"What, it can't be, I'm going to count it again!"
