Chapter 230: The Barbarian Camp Is Really Dead
In the Battle of Chengpu that year, Jin and Chu fought the first major battle for hegemony in Chengpu of Wei State. The state of Chu sent troops to attack the Song state, and the Song state sent people to the Jin state for help, and the Jin state sent troops to aid the Song in order to establish national prestige and seek hegemony.
The two armies confronted each other in Chengpu, Chu general Ziyu led the army to camp on the hills, and Duke Wen of Jin fulfilled his exile in Chu that year, and made a promise to King Cheng of Chu to "retreat and retreat", so that the Jin army retreated and avoided the edge of the Chu army. This move is not only to repay the courtesy and kindness given by King Chu Cheng before, but also to use the strategy of "humble and arrogant" and "angry and scratching" to lure the enemy, but Ziyu took the bait, and he ignored King Chu Cheng's warning and led the army to advance. The Jin general Luan Zhi ordered people to tie firewood and grass to the tail of the chariot and pretend to be defeated. As the chariot galloped, the firewood and grass dragged on the ground, causing smoke and dust to rise, the Chu army thought that the opponent was really defeated, fell into a trap and was ambushed by the Jin army, thus being annihilated by the Jin army on both wings, and the Chu army was defeated.
Now, Fuquan wants to use it in the opposite way, obviously after careful consideration, when Yan Yan led nearly a hundred cavalry to drag firewood and galloped behind the foot soldiers, bringing out a large amount of smoke and dust, this is the deep meaning. However, he could only smile bitterly, because he fantasized in his heart that he would lead his troops to assault the enemy formation, and behead the enemy general among tens of millions of people, instead of honestly staying behind the military formation to play soy sauce, but the matter has come to this, what else can he do? You can't disobey the Lord's commands, can you?
In the barbarian camp, there was a sound of singing and drinking, Gong Su and Du Kang talked about the past of the barbarians, and talked about the way they hunted, drank and ate meat in the mountains and forests when they did not rebel against the Han Dynasty before. It's just that now it's a matter of right and wrong, each with its own ambitions, one for ambition and extravagance, and the other for the safety of a family, only the last soldiers are waiting to meet.
Du Kang raised his ear cup and said: "Please come to Qu Shuai, but it was my subordinates who hunted a wild boar yesterday, and I invite you to taste it today." After speaking, he shouted outside the tent: "Come on, send it!" ”
After a while, countless barbarians outside the tent sent fragrant roasted wild boar, which was served on the table of all the marshals. Looking at the barbecue meat in front of him, some Qu Shuai was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that this luck is really good, seeing that everyone has barbecue meat in their hands, this time he hunted at least hundreds of catties of wild boars, which is amazing, even if they hunt in the mountains all year round, but this kind of big wild boar is rare.
In fact, what these Qu Shuai didn't know was that Du Kangna might suddenly hunt such a big wild boar, but he had sent scouts to hunt in the mountains and forests in the past two days. If the amount of pork is not enough, use the quantity to make up, and it is enough to beat a few more, but it is not good to add some other similar meat instead, anyway, these Qu Shuai drink wine and eat meat, and they will no longer care whether these cut meat has other substances.
This is similar to some restaurant food stalls and roadside barbecues in later generations, duck and mutton are replaced with dead cat meat and rat meat, if customers don't know, they won't delve into what they eat, anyway, as long as the taste is delicious and the wine is hearty. If no one reports it, who cares what's inside? The crows in the world are as black as they are, and it's not just one of them, you have to do it for profit.
The wine was drunk, the meat was full, everyone was happy, and they didn't know that there was already a storm outside, and the barbarians under Gong Su had already been guarded outside the camp tent by Du Kang's henchmen at this moment, stopping the subordinates of the various Qu Shuai who came to report the news. It can be said that at this moment, the outside of Du Kang's tent is almost surrounded by the people he arranged, and it seems that there is some loose defense, without Du Kang's order, in fact, anyone will be held at the first time.
Du Jun is Du Kang's nephew, it can be said that he is his confidant, with long arms, big waist and round waist, and a fierce aura on his face, and he is very strong in the clan, so Du Jun was instructed by Du Kang to lead people to carry out the plan to kill the envoy of the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, Du Jun is beckoning the more than 100 barbarians prepared by his Du Kang to boost the morale of these barbarians, they have only one goal, to rush into Qin Mi's camp with short soldiers, first solve the barbarians who dare to resist, and then rush into the camp tent, and kill all the three Han envoys of Qin Mi.
"Let's go!"
A familiar figure in the distance waved his hand at Du Jun, it was a cronie of Du Kang, seeing that he had already agreed on the sign language, Du Jun understood, and shouted, so he took more than 100 people, holding all kinds of short soldiers, and went straight to Qin Mi's camp.
In Qin Mi's tent, a scribe who came with Qin Mi looked at the atmosphere outside the tent that was not quite right, and was very uneasy, just now, when he was about to go out to ask for some meat, he saw that among the barbarians sent outside the tent to protect them, someone revealed a very hostile look at him. Moreover, outside the tent, many barbarians could be seen in the past, but today the flow of people is surprisingly scarce, and all signs indicate that today is unusual.
"Qin Wuguan, there is something different today, is there a change in the barbarians?" The scribe thought about it a few times, but he couldn't understand it, and Qin Mi, who was reading the book at this moment, said.
"Well, something should have changed. If what I expected is correct, there are capable people among the barbarians, and they want to make this dynasty Ban Ding far and far set the plan of the Western Regions. Qin Mi nodded, a trace of deep worry came into his eyes, and the atmosphere of the camp tent was silently brought into a heavy one.
The scribe panicked, "How so? What are we? "Ban Chaoding the Western Regions, how could he not know about the matter of 'not entering the tiger's den, but getting the tiger', and suddenly understood that some of the barbarians wanted to kill them, and then force all the barbarians to rebel.
"There is no other way, stay here, and respond to all changes without change!"
"Unchanged? If the barbarians are against me, isn't it no different from waiting for death? ”
"If we don't stay here, will we have a way to live when we leave the camp?" Qin Mi asked rhetorically.
"Well, this ......" The scribe opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say a word, indeed, they were trapped in the barbarian camp at the moment, and it was very safe to stay in the camp specially arranged by the barbarians. If you go out at will, there are many anti-Han forces in the barbarian camp at this time, and they will find that as long as they find a suitable time, in a place where no one is around, they can kill these few low-armed civil servants in a short time.
"Hey!" The scribe sighed lightly, then sat down on his desk dejectedly, and then sighed and said: "I didn't think that I would die here, but I hate that I didn't enter the official career in this life, and I didn't return to my hometown in fine clothes, and I traveled at night in brocade clothes, but I want to be loyal to the country." ”
Listening to the words of the scribe, Qin Mi shook his head, and secretly sighed that this scribe was timid after all, wouldn't it be that he sought wealth and danger, and did not dare to fight for his life, and his career was the same, without the help of nobles behind him, but it was difficult to be promoted.
Come home rich or famous?
Brocade night walk?
Is the barbarian camp really dead?
But who can predict whether this will be a place of death or a way to heaven?
Thinking of the letter he sent to Gong Su, Qin Mi's fingers clenched the book in his hand, life and death, wealth and wealth, all of them are this book. Even if you die, you have no regrets, and if you don't succeed, you should become benevolent.
"Stop, put down your weapons!" At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the tent......
After living for a few days, Xiang Yu led his troops to the west to slaughter Xianyang, killed the prince of Qin, burned the Qin palace room, the fire was not extinguished for three months, and the women who received their goods and treasures went east. People may say that King Xiang said: "Guanzhong blocks mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile, but they are all tyrannical." King Xiang saw that the Qin palace was burned and broken, and he wanted to return to the east, and said: "Wealth does not return to his hometown, such as embroidering clothes at night, who knows!" The speaker said: "People say that Chu people are monkeys and crown their ears, sure enough." "Xiang Wang Wenzhi, the cook.
