Chapter 233: Treat Others with Sincerity A man must be loyal to himself
Looking at the general who commanded his rabble, Fu Quan couldn't help but chuckle, sure enough, an army is brave and weak, and it has something to do with whether the generals dare to fight. Of the more than 1,000 rabble that he had pieced together, none of the generals dared to take the initiative to ask for help, which was really a bit cowardly before fighting.
"Cloud Chief!"
"The last general!"
"Go to the barbarian army and obey it!"
"The general waits, Yu will go and go back!"
After listening to Fu Quan's order, Guan Yu calmed down and rode his horse straight to the front of the barbarian formation. I could only hear the sound of the horse's hooves "kicking, kicking", and after a while, Guan Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, had already arrived in front of the barbarian army.
"Xie Liang Guan Yun is here, can there be a barbarian general to answer?" Guan Yu rode alone in the barbarian army formation and shouted, his voice was high, almost everyone in the Han and barbarian armies could hear it, and the power of slaughtering the tiger in his tone was even more shocking.
In the barbarian camp, countless barbarians looked at Guan Yu on the opposite side in horror, and these barbarians were shocked after hearing that Guan Yu had signed up for himself. At this moment, when I heard Guan Yu report to his home, they all looked at each other left and right, whispered, no one dared to go out of battle, after all, they could kill more than ten barbarian warriors on the battlefield and not die, and there were almost few people in their Banyu Barbarians.
"Let's go!" Du Kang coldly glanced at Guan Yu, who was showing off his might in front of the battle array, and finally spit out this word from his mouth, there was a little loneliness in his words, but more unwillingly, he understood that this time he left, next time he wanted to have such an opportunity as today, it would definitely be gone.
In an instant, about a thousand people from the barbarian army left the camp, but they did not go out of formation, but retreated and walked in the direction of the camp, but did not enter the camp, but bypassed the position of the camp and went in the direction of Brazil.
Du Kang left with this group of frustrated barbarians, and in addition to a sense of sympathy and pity on the faces of the remaining people, there was also a sense of joy left, after all, what they left behind were either barbarians who were pro-Han and Han in their hearts, or barbarians who had always remained neutral and did not go along with Du Kang. At this moment, the Han Dynasty army can obviously control the situation, for them, this is the result of the best speculative gamble, they won the bet, there is no need to think that the people of Dukang fled like lost dogs, and it is impossible to say that the Han Dynasty people will also give some rewards for their loyalty this time.
In the Han army array, since the two armies met, the Han army generals did not dare to relax, knowing that their own strength and combat power were weak Han army, their eyes were always staring at the barbarians in front, and the abnormality of the barbarian army formation at this moment was, of course, a non-falling reflection in the eyes of the Han army.
"Junhou, retreat, the barbarians have retreated by nearly half, do you need to send scouts to follow you?" Huang Zhong, who was beside Fu Quan, saw at a glance that nearly half of the barbarians seemed to retreat, and hurriedly said to Fu Quan. He originally fought with Guan Yu to subdue the barbarians, but now that Guan Yu was preemptive, how could he let him endure it, so he kept staring intently at the barbarian camp opposite, and at this moment, seeing that some of the barbarians had fled, he immediately proposed to follow the group of barbarians, so he immediately proposed.
Fu Quan glanced at the Banyu barbarians who were still in the Banyu barbarian army formation at this moment, and refused: "Just drive away the traitorous barbarians today, our army has few soldiers, and we must not act rashly, so that the Banyu barbarians will know the truth of our army." ”
"No!" Huang Zhong saluted, he did not refute Fu Quan's words, indeed, even if the barbarians are nearly half of the way now, their real strength is still more than that of the Han army, and with this rabble in the hands of the Han army, it is really impossible to be careless.
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, Fu Quan thought about it and ordered Huang Zhong again: "Send scouts to patrol around our army, and I don't think I can let the barbarians get close to our army." ”
"The last general commands." Huang Zhong shouted in response, then turned around and went to the army, summoned scouts, and scattered to inspect. He knew very well that at this time, the barbarians could not see the number of soldiers and horses in the rear of the Han army, and did not dare to act rashly, if they really sent people to find out that the Han army was just using tricks to scare them, it was impossible to say that these relatively simple-minded barbarians could not withstand the deception of the Han people, and they turned around at the moment, it would really be worth the loss.
A sound of weapons and armor shaking came, and the barbarian army formation on the opposite side suddenly moved, Fu Quan's heart suddenly tightened, although some of the barbarians left, but no one knew whether these retreating barbarians really retreated, or they were going around to give the Han army a deadly attack.
But fortunately, looking at the barbarians on the opposite side, only dozens of people came out, and all of them were dressed differently from the ordinary barbarians, obviously the identity was not low in the barbarians, and the barbarians did not go out in a big way, it was obvious that this was a friendly expression of goodwill of the barbarians.
Gong Su took a group of barbarian commanders, walked respectfully to Guan Yu, looked at Guan Yu on the horse, and everyone hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Guan Sima!" "The fact that Guan Yu was appointed by the imperial court as the soldier Sima of Ba County, and Fu Quan's appointment as the Taishou of Ba County, was passed on to the Ban Yu barbarians together, so they have this name. 、
"Humph!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, his eyes were full of disdain, and after glancing at everyone, all the Ban Yu Barbarian Qu Marshals under the horse all felt a chill, which was the breath of ten thousand enemies with countless blood on their hands, which immediately made them feel like they had entered hell, but fortunately, this feeling did not last long, so they heard Guan Yu say: "Today, the 20,000 army of my Han has arrived, and Fu Taishou is now behind the formation, and he sent me to ask you Qu Shuai, why did you gather troops outside Langzhong County this time?" ”
Although the reason for this gathering of Ban Yu had already been written by Qin Mi, and after several twists and turns, it was sent to Fu Quan, and Guan Yu already knew the cause and effect, but at this time, they still needed to "pretend to be crazy and stupid". This is a negotiation technique, at this moment, except for Gong Su, who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, most of the other neutral Qu Shuai are opportunists, and they must be deliberately snubbed at this moment, so that they can put on a more flattering appearance and occupy the initiative in negotiations.
The barbarian Qu Shuai under the horse was shocked when they heard Guan Yu's report on the Han soldiers and horses, and secretly said that they were too careless, and they didn't think that Qin Mi had played a trap for them with a time difference. The army of the Han Dynasty came, but it was not at all like what he said, he came with him, maybe this Qin Mi was sent out by Fuquan in advance to envoy Ban Yuman, and Fu Quan himself commanded the troops in the back, and he couldn't help but admire the courage of that Qin Mi, and he actually made a lie for no reason and deceived them for so long.
After looking at the Han soldiers again, in the smoke and dust, the dense flags fluttered, at this time, these barbarian commanders did not think that this was a trick of the Han Dynasty, and at this moment they did not even have the idea of sending someone to investigate in detail how many soldiers and horses there were behind the Han army. After all, there was Qin Mi's "wild words" about the envoy to the Ban Yu barbarian camp a few days ago, and now there is a matter of Yu Dan riding to call for battle, isn't this what the Han people have nothing to fear?
Why should the Han people have no fear, it must be that there are really tens of thousands of troops behind the Han army that can be relied on, and they are not afraid of their thousands of barbarian soldiers at all. At this point, the barbarians are now convinced that they are not afraid of the other county soldiers of the Han Dynasty in their hearts, and the only thing they are afraid of is the soldiers under the command of Fuquan, and the lesson of the defeat of the Banyu barbarians in the two wars is not long ago, these Banyu barbarians have already thought that there is no equal strength, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to eat the soldiers and horses of Fuquan, so they are very sure that Fuquan really has an army of 20,000 again, and they can't resist it, so they can only admit it.
This group of barbarian commanders looked at each other a few times, and under the gesture of many eyes, Gong Su, who had a friendship with the Han army, finally came forward and said: "Guan Sima, it is our sin to gather here in this clan and disturb Taishou. ”
Although Gong Su guessed Guan Yu's intentions, after all, he managed to send Qin Mi's letter, it was impossible not to guess that Guan Yu knew the true situation of Ban Yuman, but at this moment, Guan Yu deliberately asked so much in order to scare the other Qu Shuai, Gong Su could not expose it, so he could only take advantage of the situation to respectfully curry favor with Guan Yu. Otherwise, once he reveals his behavior of sending letters, he will have a great reputation among the barbarians, after all, this is equivalent to betrayal, even if it is for the good of the barbarians, and what is even more terrible is that this may ruin the Han army's big plan, thus causing trouble, so it is better to follow the trend and not cause trouble, "those who know the times are handsome" is the truth.
"Oh?" Guan Yu pretended to ask lightly, then put on his face, stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice: "Since there is a reason for the incident, Yu does not dare to be good at this matter, wait for Yu to return to Fu Taishou, and then talk to you in detail!" ”
"It should be so! So it should be! ”
"Guan Sima is hard!"
"Please pass Sima Tongyu!"
……
The dozens of barbarians hurriedly thanked Guan Yu with a smile, the situation is stronger than people, although Guan Yu is doing his job, but after all, he is the grand prize of the Han army, and he is the henchman of the commander of the Han army, if he said some bad things about their barbarians when he was in Fuquan, it would undoubtedly be very unfavorable to them, so no matter how proud Guan Yu was and how he pretended to be forced, they had to laugh and coax, and they couldn't make him angry.
Guan Yuli ignored these compliments, turned around and flew back to the Han army's formation, and saluted beside Fu Quan: "The prince, the Ban Yu barbarian and the other Qu Shuai now want to ask the prince for guilt, I don't know what the prince means?" ”
Fu Quan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought that he should settle the matter, and when he tidied up his soldiers and horses, he would cut off the Ban Yu barbarians who caused the incident one by one, but after turning around and seeing his army array, the smoke and dust were full of empty open space, and he hurriedly replied: "Order them to return to the Ban Yu barbarian's hometown, and see me in Langzhong County five days later." ”
"No!"
When Guan Yu looked at the back of the military formation in Fuquan, he also understood that it was very inappropriate to agree to meet those barbarian commanders, after all, it was far away now, and those barbarian commanders could not see clearly that in addition to standing a little densely in front, the rear of the military formation was full of open space and the occasional soldiers holding battle flags, if it were not for the smoke and dust raised by horses running back and forth, the reality of the Han army would have been seen through.
When the group of Ban Yu Barbarian Qu Shuai learned from Guan Yu, who turned back, that Bajun Fu Taishou wanted them to dismiss their soldiers now and return to the countryside, and when they met in Langzhong County five days later, they were also puzzled, and they couldn't understand why Fu Quan didn't want to see them. But after all, Fuquan has "strong power" in his hands, they should bow their heads, and after thanking Guan Yu for his help, they turned around and went to the barbarian army formation, led their respective armies back to the camp, sorted out, and then took the soldiers and horses back to the gathering place of the banyu barbarians in the forests of Langzhong Mountain.
To the surprise of all the barbarian commanders, the Han army did not move a single bit until they left, although there were some suspicions, but the matter had come to this, and it was only right to go back to the lair first. As for the rest, the decision will be made in five days, and of course there are also cautious and cautious people, who quietly installed a few henchmen scouts, pretending to be woodcutters in the mountains and fields, to observe the situation of the Han army.
A puff of smoke and dust in the distance slowly disappeared in the eyes, leaving only a mess after the army walked, Fu Quan did not immediately order a group of rabble standing and acting to march here, but ordered Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to take dozens of people each, search in two ways, and directly capture people when they meet them, and find a reason to detain them for a few days, he wants to make sure that when he enters Langzhong County, no one knows how many troops he has, so as to prevent accidents.
Just when Guan and Huang were searching with their soldiers, Qin Mi, who was wearing a torn robe, seemed to have a few blood stains on it, but at this time, Qin Mi was not affected by the several broken points on his body that were cut by the blade, and he came to the Han army with two scribes who were envoys to the Ban Yu barbarian camp with a dashing appearance.
Fu Quan saw the blood stains on the damaged part of Qin Mi's body at a glance, and hurriedly dismounted and galloped in front of Qin Mi and said, "Zi Yi is fine?" After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Qin Mi's whole body, as if he was talking to himself: "It's okay if it's okay, I'd rather rebel than be in the way!" ”
Qin Mi's ability to rebel this time can already be seen, this person is not only eloquent, but also has a certain amount of courage and strategy, which is exactly the talent that Fuquan needs. Ever since Song Yu had the experience of wooing his subordinate Yulin before, Fu Quan has been learning the way of the emperor, and now he is just learning and using it.
With the experience of later generations, Fuquan knows how valuable a person who is willing to work hard for himself is, even if some people do not reach the level of selling their lives, but second-class, as long as they are absolutely loyal to themselves, it is also very important to not surrender in the end, and all this depends on how to win them over, otherwise, if they are not in place, they will cause dissatisfaction among their subordinates, and they will only end up betraying their relatives in the end.
Sure enough, seeing that Fuquan cared about him so much, Qin Mi said that it was impossible not to care, only to see that his tone was choked and said: "Ming Gong's great grace, Mi is toothless and unforgettable!" ”
Seeing this, Fuquan had to sigh that the ancients were much better than modern people, they treated others with sincerity, and people must treat themselves with loyalty, which is also a trait that the heroes who have been successful in the past generations have. Otherwise, without this trait, how could he coax a group of diehards to follow him?
