Chapter 344: General Che Cavalry

Under the reflection of the flickering firelight, the deeper the night, the more beautiful the beauty, Deng Cui smiled, looking at the Hun woman lying beside him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The woman suddenly hummed, frowned slightly, as if she was having a nightmare, Deng Cui approached and kissed her lightly on the forehead, the woman's brows stretched, and she fell asleep peacefully.

A dozen paces away from the campfire, the four attendants watched in amazement, and even though it had been two days, they still had a hard time believing the facts in front of them.

Deng Cui got up from the blanket and beckoned to the four entourage, motioning for them to follow him.

The retinue immediately followed, bewildered and admired by the general.

The five of them turned behind a bush, which was the downwind outlet, and the sound of their voices would not disturb the sleeping Hun woman.

"It's getting warmer." Deng Cui looked up at the starry sky, as if he felt something, then opened his shirt, untied his trouser belt, urinated in the wind, and said to the four entourage: "Aren't you coming?" I see you've all had a lot of drink. ”

The retinue was even more bewildered, and a little flattered, how many soldiers could receive such an invitation from the general? So they all took action, and one of the attendants asked with a smile: "The general is really amazing...... Can you understand the Huns? ”

"I don't understand."

The four attendants looked at each other, both surprised and laughing, and the other asked, "What is the general...... How can it be ...... How......" He didn't know how to ask.

Deng Cui shook a few times and looked back at the bonfire, "You mean her?" Pay attention to the eyes, for example, you boys, both envious and jealous, and a little tempted by beauty, there is a fire over there, I thought there were four wolves squatting opposite. ”

Deng Cui did not mean to blame, his tone was casual, and the four entourages hurriedly shook their heads with a smile and denied it, one said that he was not tempted, and the other said that he was not jealous, and finally unanimously admitted that he might be a little envious.

"It's just hard for me to figure it out, the concubine of the King of the Huns...... How can you be willing to ......?"

"Would you like to come with me?" Deng Cui stretched his waist, didn't rush back to sleep, walked to the side and chatted, and said: "She is a member of a hostile tribe, her parents were killed by the king of the Huns, and she was taken captive as a concubine. ”

"The general doesn't understand the Xiongnu language, can he still inquire about such news?" The four retinues were not just admiring, they were close to worship.

"Inquiring? No, no, that's my guess. ”

The four entourages were stunned again, and then they could only laugh, feeling more and more that the general of the Che Cavalry was unfathomable, only one of them was from the Deng Mansion, and the other three were soldiers from the capital, but even the Deng Mansion attendant could not see through his master.

Deng Cui's armor had already been taken off, and at this time he straightened his clothes and said to his entourage, "Bring my horse here." ”

The entourage didn't dare to ask more, and soon brought the master's mount, Deng Cui took the reins, gently stroked the horse's neck, and then said to the four entourages who didn't know why: "It's not okay to run like this, the Huns will catch up sooner or later, and you have to find a way to lure them away." ”

The retinue nodded, understanding the truth, but couldn't think of a way, so they waited for the instructions of the general of the chariot cavalry.

Deng Cui nodded, and said to his entourage: "Next time, I'll bring the horse here, you have to prepare the saddle sheath, the horse is bare-backed, how can I ride?" ”

The attendant was surprised and said, "Going now?" Let's prepare. ”

"Wait, let me prepare alone, you stay."

After seeing all the strange things about the Che Cavalry General, the four attendants were still stunned, and Deng Cui urged: "Go and get the saddle, as well as wine and dry food." ”

The retinue did not dare to disobey the order and hurried to get something, and one of the remaining retinue stammered: "General...... Checkmate...... Be separated from us...... Walking apart? ”

"Didn't I say that? The Huns must be lured away, and it is a few of you who can command the Chu army outside the Saiwai, and they can also change with me. ”

Several people shook their heads at the same time, they were just ordinary soldiers, with neither the rank of general, nor strategy, nor the guts, and absolutely no ambition to command the army.

"Okay, you guys leave early tomorrow morning."

The entourage of the Deng Mansion ran back, hurriedly saddled the horses, and asked, "One horse is not enough, right?" ”

"Enough, it's a good horse."

"That...... She can also ride a horse, and she is a good horse, so she doesn't need to ride with the general, right? "The entourage still thinks that the general is too big.

"If she doesn't go with me, she will go with you, without her, what will she do to lure the Huns away?"

The four of them were taken aback, looked at each other, and couldn't say a word.

Deng Cui turned over and checked his belongings, and was quite satisfied, "Okay, that's it, tomorrow you go west, run faster, and with a little luck, maybe you will have time to find a strong city, you can take shelter there temporarily, and come to me when the war is over, and there will be a period later." ”

Deng Cui was about to leave, but the four entourages reacted and stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait a minute, General, we're ...... How do we tell her? ”

"You can say whatever you want, she can't understand it anyway."

"But...... But ...... "The retinue were all soldiers, and they would rather face the Hun army than explain to a hopeful and tender woman why she had been abandoned halfway."

"It's clear that I need to go north to take over the Chu army, and the Huns are chasing this one, so only she can lead the Huns away, and you are responsible for protecting, who else has any other plans?"

The entourage shook their heads, but they had to get out of the way, Deng Cui urged the horse to go on the road, ran not far away, turned around and came back, and the entourage was overjoyed.

Deng Cui said to his entourage: "If you are caught up by the Huns, then forget it, it is estimated that none of you will survive, if you escape, remember one thing, that Hun woman is your second mother, protect her, serve her, don't be bad, you, you, and you, all have to remember." ”

"No, no, how can we have bad intentions? I don't dare. The four attendants shook their heads and waved their hands in denial.

Deng Cui was relieved and hit the road again, this time without looking back.

The four attendants returned to the campfire and stood at a distance, looking at the Hun woman who was still asleep, and no one knew how to deal with the anger later.

Deng Cui felt that he had arranged everything, he was relaxed, urging the horse to gallop, he was the captain of the country, he often came and went to the side, he was very familiar with the road, he could distinguish the direction in the middle of the night, he ate a few mouthfuls of dry food when he was hungry, poured a large sip of wine when he was thirsty and sleepy, and only rested for a while when the horses needed to eat grass.

Two days later, he arrived at the border checkpoint, and there were no Huns chasing after him.

The Huns wanted to lure the Chu army outside the pass to rescue them, so they did not attack this checkpoint, but the soldiers in the pass were very nervous, and they had been strengthening the city and sharpening their troops and horses, but they didn't know what to do next.

The general guarding the pass was an acquaintance of Deng Cui, and when he saw him riding alone, he was surprised, and Deng Cui didn't explain much, and asked after dismounting: "The emperor named me the general of the chariot cavalry, have you heard?" ”

"Congratulations to ......"

"Don't worry, I know you have a few jars of good wine hidden, get ready, send it to my house in a while, and now send me to Mayi City."

"You're here on order?"

"Of course."

"That...... Is there a holy decree? ”

"Yes, it was snatched by the Huns." Deng Cui said nonsense, because he expected to stay in the Hun camp for a while, so he didn't bring any will, so as not to expose the stuffing.

The general guarding the pass knew a little about Deng Cui, so he had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and sent soldiers to escort him through the pass, anyway, Deng Cui could give orders to him just by virtue of his identity as the acting lieutenant of the country, and the authenticity of the general was not so important.

It was another windy journey, and when he arrived at Mayi City, Deng Cui was already staggering on the horse, and he had to slap his mouth from time to time to protect his sobriety.

The Chu army gathered inside and outside the city of Mayi has exceeded 100,000, the main force is the southern army from the broken iron city, the nominal commander is Zhang Yin, the marquis of Biyuan, but he stutters, it is difficult to convince the public, and the court has not made a clear order for a long time, only saying that he will act at the opportunity, and the generals have been arguing for days and have not made a decision.

I heard that a general came to Jincheng, all the generals were surprised and happy, all went out of the city to greet each other, some people recognized Deng Cui, the first reaction was probably only this kid could escape from the encirclement, the second reaction was that the emperor was sick and rushed to the hospital, how did he send him out?

Deng Cui still opened his mouth: "I am the general of the chariot and cavalry appointed by the emperor himself, have you heard?" ”

The generals nodded, they had indeed heard the news, but no one took it seriously.

Several generals of the Southern Army crowded over, and the leader asked, "Is Your Majesty okay?" ”

"Not good, not at all." Deng Cui jumped off the horse and went to the general's mansion surrounded by everyone, "I can't eat well and sleep soundly." ”

"I heard that His Majesty is seriously ill......"

"Really? Anyway, when I left, His Majesty was taking advantage of the middle of the night to arrest spies all over the city. ”

"Spies?"

"Well, all in one go, although Your Majesty is not in a good state, it is still easy to catch a few thieves."

The generals were a little relieved, and the generals of the Southern Army asked again: "Your Majesty sent you out, what is your will?" ”

"There are many wills." Deng Cui said nonsense, came to the general's mansion, met Zhang Yin at the door, and after saluting each other, walked inside side by side, turned to the generals at the door of the hall and said: "I want to talk to General Zhang alone for a few words, please stay outside for a while." ”

The generals had to stay outside the hall, but they were angry in their hearts, and they all talked about what was going on with this "general of the chariot and cavalry".

In the hall, Deng Cui said to Zhang Yin bluntly: "Your Excellency is a veteran of the DPRK, but for many years you have been under the command of others for driving, not trusted and valued by the imperial court, and you don't know how to use the army. ”

Zhang Yin's face was red all of a sudden, but he stuttered, and he couldn't speak in a hurry.

Deng Cui continued: "I am just the opposite of you, Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me with a heavy task, that is, to take over the army outside the Saiwai, please General Zhang hand over the official seal to me." ”

"Holy ...... What about the Holy Decree? Zhang Yin finally held back a sentence.

"Without the Holy Decree, isn't the Holy Decree that General Zhang got before a rag?"

Zhang Yin nodded, but it was a holy decree after all, with the seal of the emperor's treasure seal on it.

"Are Your Excellency willing to continue to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving Da Chu and His Majesty? Do you have a plan? Will you be able to get the generals of Mayi City to obey orders? ”

"Y-Can?"

"If not, Your Majesty won't send me." Deng Cui said proudly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Deng Cui and Zhang Yin walked out of the hall, Deng Cui held the general seal high, and said loudly to the dozens of generals in the courtyard: "I am Deng Cui, the general of the chariot and cavalry, and I command the Chu army in Mayi City by the will of Your Majesty, and you all have to listen to my orders." ”

The generals were in an uproar, and Deng Cui shouted: "You have the ability to quarrel here, but don't you have the ability to save the driver?" ”

The generals were furious, and a general of the Southern Army stepped forward and said, "Do you have the ability to save the driver?" Okay, the Guannai is an ambush of the Huns, how did the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops defeat the enemy army and reach Jincheng to save the driver, you come and talk about it, reasonable, we will obey you, unreasonable, please go back and forth! ”

Deng Cui laughed, "You are all mediocre people, you only know how to attack and defend, but you don't know that there is another good way to save the car." ”

The generals were even more angry, and they all stared at Deng Cui coldly, if they couldn't hear some reason, it would be difficult for the "Che Cavalry General" to get out of this door today.

Deng Cui didn't care, his expression was even more arrogant, "If you want to save the driver, you can neither attack Jincheng nor defend Mayi, there is only one way to go: immediately recover the lost territory of Yanguo and Liaodong, block the Great Wall checkpoints, and the so-called closing the door and beating the dog." Once the passage with the steppe was cut off, the Huns were defeated without a fight! (To be continued.) )
