Chapter 108: To Each His Own Calculation
In the Nanliang camp, General Gu discussed with the bald Wei Tan alone until late at night before he came out of the big tent.
After General Gu left the camp, the bald Wei Tan convened the generals to discuss, and Fuqu Mashiko gave up Guzang, only asking for the excuse to return to Zhangye. Hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass in Guzang City were all given to Nanliang, and Nanliang could take back the land previously occupied by the Huns without much effort.
The bald Wei Tan looked at the promise that Frustrated Meng Xun had given him, and his heart was settled. The 30,000 Hun soldiers and horses in Guzang City were like a fish in the throat for Nanliang, and tens of thousands of troops were blocked by the Hun army under Guzang City, and they could not advance or retreat.
"Father, is there any conspiracy among the Huns? Why are you willing to give up Guzang? After the bald Hutai entered the camp, he heard that the Huns had withdrawn from Guzang, and asked curiously.
"King, my nephew thinks that if the Xiliang army is defeated by the Huns, then the Huns will completely occupy the land west of the river, and it will be unfavorable to my Daliang at that time." After the bald Fan Ni proposed that General Gu give up Guzang, he knew about the plans of the Huns.
"This king naturally knows about this, but now the Huns are willing to return the counties and counties occupied by my Daliang, and there is no need to lose a single soldier. This king has made up his mind, and agreed to let Dao Fang Qu Mashiko return to Zhangye, the Xiliang army is also the enemy of my Daliang to unify Hexi, and after the Xiliang army and the Huns are both defeated, it is the time when my Daliang unifies Hexi. ”
"Father, we just formed an alliance with Li Hui, and now we are using the excuse to let Fuqu Yizi return to Zhangye, this~I'm afraid~, and Lord Taiwei is still in Jiuquan, in case Li Hui~" The bald Hutai said without saying anything.
"Humph! Defeat of the king, over the years I Da Liang and the Huns dozens of battles, in order to be able to defeat the Huns to unify Hexi, now this golden opportunity, sit and watch the Xiliang army and the Huns both defeated, when the prince led the army into Zhangye to avenge the Taiwei. The bald Wei Tan glanced at the bald tiger platform and snorted.
"What the king said is that Guzang City is extremely strong, if you want to forcibly attack the city, I don't know how many warriors will be killed and injured in Daliang, and now the Huns are willing to give up Guzang and nearby counties, so why not promise them for the time being?" Bald Fanny echoed.
"At the third watch tomorrow night, let the north gate of Guzang City open, let the army of Fuqu Mashiko out of the city, and the whole army will closely monitor the movements of the Xiongnu army, and once there is any abnormal movement, it will attack Fuqu Mashiko."
"Yes." The generals in the tent stood up and said.
In General Gu Zangcheng's mansion, General Gu was reporting to Fuqu Yizi that the bald Wei Tan had agreed to negotiate peace. Tomorrow, the three larger armies will withdraw from Guzang, and the whole army will return to Zhangye to encircle the Xiliang army.
"Good. Now there are more than 50,000 Xiliang troops under Zhangye City, and my Daliang soldiers and horses in Zhangye City plus my Guzang army, more than 50,000 people in the Xiliang Military Region will definitely not be able to compete with our army. Mashiko stroked her beard and nodded slowly.
"General, this bald Xianbei has never been faithful, in case the bald Wei Tan takes advantage of my army to go out of the city and attack it, I'm afraid~"
"Nope. You don't know about the bald hair, this person is stubborn and self-serving, ambitious and talented, and he wants to sit and watch my Da Liang and Xiliang army lose both in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and will never take advantage of the fire to rob. Tomorrow, the third watch, the whole army will withdraw to Zhangye. ”
"Yes. Checkmate! General Gu looked worried, but looking at the majestic eyes of Fuqu Mashiko, he didn't say anything more.
"Go down and prepare. Tomorrow, the whole army will bring enough food for three days and go out of the city lightly. Frustrated Mashiko commanded.
After General Gu left, Fuqu Mashiko looked at the northern sky with his hands in his hands and muttered, "Hehe." Bald-haired and sandal, such a majestic city, I'm afraid you won't be blessed. ”
No one knew that Fuqu Mengxun had already calculated how to deal with the bald Xianbei in the letter to Fuqu Mashiko.
Last night, Fuqu Mashiko had already sent someone to Gao Ping to see the general of the Xia State to conquer the west, and made a heavy promise that as long as he sent troops to Guzang, he was willing to hand over all the counties east of the West County to the Xia State.
Over the years, the north of Guanzhong has been occupied by the Huns Tiefu Department, Hu Xia defeated the Qin State and took Gaoping, only two days away from Guzang City, the Xia State Zhengxi General led 30,000 troops to guard Gaoping.
A few years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the Xiongnu Tiefu Department, Liu Bobo proposed an alliance to the bald Wei Tan and asked the two families to make peace. The bald Wei Tan categorically refused because of Liu Bobo's low background.
And the Xia State has been competing with the Qin State for Guanzhong in the past few years, and has no time to take care of Nanliang. Fuqu Mengxun promised that as long as the Xia State sent troops to contain the Southern Liang soldiers and horses, he would help the Xia State destroy the Southern Liang after defeating the Western Liang army.
The Xiliang army has been beating drums and shouting for several days in a row, day and night, at first the Huns did not care, and after a few days, the Huns relaxed their vigilance.
But the Xiliang army began to attack the city, the trebuchet outside the city smashed the huge stones to the city, and the Hun army defending the city on Zhangye City was scolded by the Xiliang army.
After the Xiliang army feigned to attack the city several times, he knew that the Xiliang army was not capable of attacking the city at all, and it was just a bluff.
In the dilapidated houses in the north of Zhangye City, the stone is discussing with the Blood Wolf Guard, and last night a Blood Wolf Guard was found in the city by the Hun patrol sergeant, and he was outnumbered and killed himself.
"Brother Shi, these days Lao Feng has discovered the law of changing the guard at the north city gate, there are more than 300 Hun thieves at these city gates, and they changed the guard at the fifth watch, and there were only more than 50 Hun thieves at the city gate at that time."
"What you said is true?"
"It's true, they have been changing guards for nearly half an hour, and the rest of the time the city gate is guarded by at least three hundred Hun thieves, this is our only chance. Moreover, these days the drums outside the city are loud, and many of the Hun thieves at the head of the city have already rested in the camp in the city. ”
"Tonight, the fifth watch will take the city gate and lead the army into the city. Even if we all die in battle, we will have to defend the gates, you know? Stone said with a serious face.
"Brother Shi, don't worry."
"Good. Worthy of being the brother of my Blood Wolf Guard, after occupying the city gate, he fired three rockets, and the general led a large army into the city. ”
The night was getting thicker, there was silence in Zhangye City, and in an abandoned house in the northern city, dozens of blood wolf guards walked out of it, holding horizontal knives and approaching the north city gate.
There are nearly 100 blood wolf guards in the city, and there are only more than 70 people following behind the stone at this moment, and the rest of the blood wolf guards are already distributed in the city to wait and see what happens.
At the fifth watch, there were only a few dozen Xiongnu soldiers at the north gate, and they were on duty for a long time, and the Xiliang army outside the city beat drums and scolded every day, and the whole person was drowsy.
"Up! Not a single one is left. Stone pulled out his horizontal knife and ordered the Blood Wolf Guard behind him.
The Hun sergeants at the gate of the city suddenly saw dozens of figures rushing out of the dark street in front of them, and they all drew their scimitars and reprimanded: "Who is coming?" Dead trespassers! ”
"Not good. These are the Western Liang Army. Kill them! A Hun sergeant shouted loudly.
"Kill it."
The horizontal knife in Shishi's hand slashed at the rushing Hun sergeant, bringing out a handful of blood. In an instant, the Hun soldiers at the gate of the city were beheaded by the Blood Wolf Guard.
"Quick, open the gates."
