Chapter 136: The Chai Family's Plan
The general's tent was extremely luxurious, like a small palace, although it was only a temporary residence, there were all kinds of tables, chairs, screens, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and none of them were simple things, just a long case, it took four people to carry it to the car.
Han Xing kindly beckoned to Han Ruzi, probably tired during the day, leaning his body and letting out a heavy wheezing sound, "How is it, are you tired of adapting to life in the army?" ”
Han Ruzi bowed his hand, respecting not the general, but the elders of the clan, "Fortunately, I learned a lot." ”
"Hehe, it's good to be young, when I was as old as you, I also participated in the battle of the captives, the general at that time was Deng Liao, under his command can really tire people to death, it is common to run on horseback for a day and a night, every time you go out, no matter how much grain and grass you bring, you don't see the Hun cavalry and don't look back."
Deng Liao is a famous general in the period of Emperor Wu, everyone in the world knows, Han Ruzi said: "General Deng won a hundred battles, and made immortal achievements for the Great Chu. ”
"Yes, it's dangerous to fight with him, but it's also fast, and I'm not even twenty years old when I'm a marquis by virtue of my military merits...... Haha, I actually boasted about this kind of thing in front of the tired marquis, come, let me introduce you, this is the youngest son of the Marquis of Hengyang, who just came from the capital, called Chai ...... Chai ......"
"Under Chai Yue." The man nodded to Han Ruzi reservedly.
"Chai Gongzi has worked hard from afar, is there any news in the capital?"
"It's as usual."
The two politely exchanged a few words, but they had nothing to say.
Han Xing beckoned again, letting Han Ruzi come closer, in the Qinzheng Palace, he is one of the dispensable ministers who take care of his life, rarely argues with others, and doesn't even like to talk, here, he is the commander of the 300,000 army, saying one thing or another, even if he has a kind smile and a soft tone, he also has an irresistible majesty.
Han Xing was still leaning on the chair, the smile on his face was a little stiff, as if he had suddenly forgotten what he was going to say, and said after a while: "I just got the news, the Huns have withdrawn, this time it is really retreating, retreating thousands of miles, and everything that can't be taken away is burned." Of course, the Huns will come back. War is so wonderful, too powerful, no one fights you, too risky, and you can't afford to lose. ”
Han Xing sighed, his breathing became heavier and heavier, as if he was snoring, "In short, there will be no big war this year, 300,000 soldiers, plus strong men and slaves, there are always five or six hundred thousand people, and it is not a matter of staying in such a desolate place, but you can't just leave, let's go to the cities in the north to defend for a while, the Huns will not all run out, there are always some guys who are not afraid of death will find an opportunity to sneak attack." ”
The king of the East China Sea guessed very accurately, Han Ruzi and Chai Yue just nodded, this is a major matter of the military aircraft, and it is not their turn to make suggestions.
"Chai Xiaogongzi has a plan...... Well, it's better for you. Han Xing was so tired that he could only gasp for breath and couldn't say much.
Chai Yue bowed his hand, and then said to Han Ruzi: "The Chu army went out to fight with all its might, but it did not win a battle, and it did not kill a prisoner, which damaged the prestige of the country, so I came up with a plan: lure the Huns into an ambush and frustrate their spirit." ”
"Isn't this the strategy that the Great General has been using?" Han Ruzi participated in at least three ambushes, each time with great fanfare, and finally ended without a problem, the best one, it is said that the Xiongnu army was only more than ten miles away from the ambush site, and somehow learned the news, or fled.
Chai Yue smiled slightly, "Similar but not different, just to confuse the Huns." ”
"I want to hear about it."
Chai Yue Zhengse said: "The Hun army is far away, and it will not come back before next spring, but there are several Hun kings who did not leave with Dongdan, there are probably more than 10,000 people, scattered everywhere, and the task is to attack the border counties." ”
"Hmm." So far, Han Ruzi has not heard the substance, everything is expected by the King of the East China Sea.
"My plan is to choose a border city, attract the Huns to invade, and wait for the Huns to gather together for this purpose, not necessarily all of them, more than 5,000 on the line, and the army will annihilate them in one fell swoop. After this battle, one division made meritorious contributions, two boosted morale, and three shocked the enemy thousands of miles away. ”
Han Xing smiled and waved his hand, "The Eastern Huns will not surrender, it is said that Dongdan is old, and the people in power are his sons, all of whom want to make meritorious contributions in order to compete for the position of Shan Yu, if they are defeated this year, they will definitely come to retaliate next year." ”
"That's even more unwanted." Chai Yue bowed and said.
Han Ruzi didn't squeak, because he knew that it was absolutely nothing good for him to be called in to listen to a plan that was supposed to be secret.
There was silence in the tent for a while, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Chai Yue asked, "What do you think of this plan?" ”
"That's good." Han Ruzi smiled, "Chai Gongzi is really smart, I can't think of such an idea anyway." ”
Chai Yue smiled reluctantly, "There is a difficulty in this plan. ”
"Hmm." Han Ruzi still didn't show interest.
"The border city as a bait is a good choice, but the defenders are rare: there are too many defenders, the Huns will not attack, the defenders are too weak, the Huns will flee after fighting, or they will not gather together, so the Huns have to make the Huns feel that this city is worth attacking and can be captured."
"No wonder I can't come up with a good idea, it's so hard to come up with a plan." Han Ruzi just refused to follow the other party's question.
Chai Yue glanced at Han Xing and said, "I think the Tired Hou is the most suitable candidate to defend the city." ”
"You must be mistaken, I won't lead troops to fight, and the Huns don't have to attack me, let me guard the border city, it's tantamount to throwing sheep and feeding tigers."
"No, no, please listen to my explanation......
Han Xing straightened up and said, "I also think it's inappropriate, it's too risky, the status of the tired marquis is special, there is really an accident, I can't explain it to the imperial court." Chai Xiaogongzi, you better find someone else, it's really not good, forget it, anyway, how can the Hun army come to fight next year. ”
Chai Yue answered reluctantly, took two steps back, and didn't speak again.
Han Xing said with a smile: "Don't be careful, let you come, not just for this matter, the army will withdraw to Mayi City in batches from the day after tomorrow, I plan to let the Tired Hou take an army to try, how about the Tired Hou?" ”
"The general is too polite, even if he gives the order."
"It's good that the tired Hou has no opinion, alas, there are a lot of noble children, all of them are impassioned when they go to the book, and they are really on the field, one by one they are so pampered that they can't be blown by the wind or sun, I don't dare to try it, only the tired Hou is an exception, oh, Chai Xiaogongzi is not bad."
Han Ruzi said goodbye and retired, and Chai Yue stood aside without squeaking.
The tents in the camp were very competitive, some of them looked more ornate than the general's quarters, although it was expressly ordered that only two retinues could be carried, and many of them exceeded the limit, and a few miles outside the camp there were many scattered camps, which were inhabited by more slaves and were on call.
Han Ruzi's tent is the same as that of ordinary soldiers, but the furnishings inside are slightly better, and there are fewer people living in it, and at a glance, it looks like an accessory to the big tent next to it.
The King of the East Sea stood in front of the big tent and asked loudly, "How is it?" Can I stay in Mayi City? ”
It was already dark, and the other camps were quiet, only the laughter in the Xungui camp was faintly the laughter of women.
Han Ruzi entered his tent, and the King of the East China Sea followed.
Candles had been lit in the tent, Han Ruzi was sitting on the bed, and the king of the East China Sea had made a small folding stool himself and sat opposite him.
"Did you guess, or did you already know?" Han Ruzi asked.
"What are you talking about? There is no beginning and no tail. ”
"The general wants me to lead the army, you already know, right?"
The King of the East China Sea laughed a few times, "To be honest, this is really a guess, you have the name of General Zhenbei, and it is ...... Tired of marquis, don't let the troops say you can't pass, don't worry when you fight, you can always try when you retreat. Did Han Star say what part of the army it was? ”
Han Ruzi shook his head, "Guess again, I think you guess things very accurately." ”
The king of the East China Sea smiled again, as if he was a little embarrassed, "If there is no accident, it must include Xunguiying, Han Xing has always been dissatisfied with these people, but he didn't dare to manage it too much, he wanted to hand it over to others for a long time, you are the most suitable: there are few acquaintances, high status, and he doesn't smile every day, like a general." ”
Han Ruzi snorted, the King of the East China Sea said before that he voluntarily stayed by the side of the tired marquis, but in fact, he had to do so, if Han Ruzi was a little confused, he would probably be moved.
"I can help you, I basically know all these nobles, who do you want to clean up, I can immediately provide a handle, so that he can be convinced, and there is no complaint."
"I don't want to clean up anyone. I met Chai Yue at the general's place, and he gave advice to the general. Han Ruzi briefly explained Chai Yue's plan.
The king of the East China Sea shook his head halfway through hearing this, and as soon as Han Ruzi shut up, he said, "This is obviously a trap, using the Huns to kill you." I have heard that the Chai family hates you to the core, and it is said that the lord of Hengyang personally promised that whoever can kill you will inherit the throne. ”
Han Ruzi also heard about it, and frowned: "There are several people who went to the Guiyi Marquis Mansion with Chai Yun, why do you hate me to the bone?" ”
"Who told you to protect the sons and daughters of Guiyi, and let them go? In the eyes of the Chai family, the whole thing is that you hooked up with Hu You and cheated and killed Chai Yun. ”
Han Ruzi's brows furrowed even tighter, and Zhang Youcai on the side couldn't help but say: "The master didn't know any Hu You before, and he hadn't even heard of his name." ”
The King of the East China Sea didn't look back, and only spoke to Han Ruzi, "I believe in you, but the Chai family doesn't believe it." ”
"Anyway, I refused, and the general didn't force it, the Chai family wants to take revenge, just let the horse come."
As long as he didn't go to guard the lonely city, the king of the East China Sea was satisfied, got up and said, "Don't think so much, we can't do anything now, let's go to Mayi City and have a good winter." ”
Han Ruzi didn't want to play, he had an army of 1,000 people, but he didn't know what to use it for, and he was quite depressed.
The king of the East Sea did not go back to his tent, and went to drink with his fox friends and dogs.
Han Ruzi was reading a book in the tent, planning to wait for the noise outside to subside a little before going to sleep, thinking in his heart whether he should give these noble children a disgrace after he was officially appointed.
Someone outside coughed, "Are you resting?" ”
Zhang Youcai walked out in surprise, came back soon, and whispered: "Chai Yue Chai Gongzi asks to see the master." ”
Chai Yue is not dead yet.
