Chapter 31 Showing Weakness
"Bump~"
A heavy and violent crash came from inside Han Sui's meeting hall.
"What did you say?"
After listening to Yan Xing's report, Han Sui stood up and stood on the main seat and stared at Yan Xing, who was kneeling down, angry and angry, and his eyes were about to split.
"You actually lost all the three thousand stones of grain and grass?"
Yan Xing's makeup at this time was extremely embarrassed, his whole body was disheveled, his clothes and armor were incomplete, and his face was full of bloodstains, looking depressed.
Kneeling in the hall, Yan Xing secretly looked at his father-in-law, and saw that Han Sui's face was full of anger, and he snorted for a long time, and trembled and defended: "Father-in-law, it's not that the son-in-law is not doing well. It was really that the enemy army was too cunning, and attacked our camp in the middle of the night, and the son-in-law was not prepared. And there are so many enemy soldiers that the son-in-law really can't resist it! ”
Han Sui saw that Yan Xingqiang was arguing with himself, and his anger did not subside, and he scolded unrelentingly: "Bastard thing! Do you dare to quibble? Unprepared? Let you escort grain and grass, you actually take it lightly and are not guarded? How many people are overwhelming? The enemy army is attacking at night, how can a large army be dispatched? ”
Yan Xing lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "It's the son-in-law who is too careless, and the fault of this time is all on the son-in-law, and I ask my father-in-law to punish him." ”
"Reprimand? Is it useful to chastise you? Now there is not even a single grain left in the city, just because of your carelessness, let the 20,000 troops in the city of Yixian drink the northwest wind? You say, how can the old man punish you? ”
After Han Sui finished scolding, he turned to face the wall and ordered: "Come on, Yan Xing has neglected his duties and lost three thousand stones of grain and grass, and his crime is unforgivable." Immediately escorted out, beheaded and displayed to the public, with military justice. ”
After hearing this, Yan Xing was shocked and cried: "Father-in-law, spare your life, your son-in-law will definitely not do it again in the future, and ask your father-in-law to give your son-in-law a chance~"
Cheng Gongying suddenly came out of the column and said: "General, this matter is not Yan Xing's alone, the enemy army attacked the grain and grass camp at night, which is really beyond our expectations." What's more, this is the time to employ people, and it is not appropriate to kill the general! ”
Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, Ma Wan, and Li Kan also got up one after another to intercede for Yan Xing.
Everyone begged for a while, but Han Sui was unmoved. turned his back to the crowd and remained silent.
Cheng Gongying was helpless, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said, "Please take back Cheng's order and spare Yan Xing!" ”
Seeing this, Cheng Yin and the others also followed Cheng Gongying to kneel down and plead for mercy.
"Please take back the general's order and spare Yan Xing!"
"Please take back the general's order and spare Yan Xing!"
"Please take back the general's order and spare Yan Xing!"
The sonorous and powerful sound made the entire lobby linger.
Han Sui heard such a movement behind him, so he slowly turned around and ordered everyone to get up and sit down again. Only then did he say to Yan Xing: "Since the generals intercede for you, I will spare you once,"
Yan Xing raised his eyebrows and hurriedly said: "Thank you father-in-law for not killing, my son-in-law will die in the sea of fire and ......."
Han Sui waved his hand, interrupted Yan Xing to thank him, and then said, "The old man hasn't finished speaking, although you can avoid the death penalty, the living crime cannot be escaped." Punish you with fifty rods, can you be convinced? ”
Yan Xing gritted his teeth, stiffened his head, and said, "The little son-in-law is convinced, and he is willing to accept the guilt!" ”
…………
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! ”
In Meiyang City, in Dong Zhuo's military camp. At this moment, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the anger was soaring.
"The momentum of the charge, there is no return! The ambition of the battle, there is death and no life! Gao Shun looked resolute, his face was majestic, his right hand pressed the sword, and he stepped in front of the formation, urging the soldiers to train.
Today's Gao Shun is no longer comparable to the childish children of the past. Half a year of military baptism has faded away from the original immaturity and become more mature and stable.
"Wenzheng, there is a matter in a certain family that is still unknown, and I hope you will solve your doubts with a certain family."
On the stage of the large battalion general, Dong Zhuo leaned on the instrument, lying comfortably on his side to watch Gao Shun's training, and suddenly said to Li Ru below.
Li Ru turned sideways slightly and said with a smile: "Please also ask the Lord to publicize it, Confucianism should obey his fate." ”
"Why did you ask Hua Xiong to hijack the grain and grass of Han Sui's rebels before, instead of letting Hua Xiong burn it on the spot?"
"Haha!" Li Ru smiled, revealing an expression that was the same, and said, "Sun Ziyun, a soldier, is also treacherous." Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly said: "It turns out that this is Wenzheng's plan to show weakness to the enemy. ”
…………
"Be careful!"
The two Liangzhou soldiers dragged Yan Xing, who had been beaten and fleshed, into the hall, and Cheng Yin and the others hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Han Sui was still frowning, and shouted at Yan Xing: "Yan Xing, the old man asked you, who is the main general of the enemy army's robbery camp?" Do you recognize? ”
"Back to my father-in-law, the night was too dark and too hurried, and my son-in-law never saw the face of the enemy general." Originally, Yan Xing was beaten so much that he couldn't sit still, he crawled on the table and said slowly, but seeing Han Sui's gloomy face, he hurriedly said: "But the little son-in-law can see that the person is more than eight feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist. ”
At this time, Cheng Gongying stepped forward and said: "Lord, according to Yan Xing's description, this person must be the number one fierce general under Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong. ”
Hearing this, Han Sui's gloomy face decreased slightly, and he said to Cheng Gongying: "Hua Xiong has been fighting in Liangzhou with Dong Hedong for several years, and he has experienced a hundred battles. Yan Xing was defeated in the hands of Hua Xiong, but he was not wronged. It's just that now that our army has lost all food and grass, how can this be good? ”
Cheng Gongying said: "Lord, robbing grain from afar has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times, and it is impossible for Dong Zhuo not to understand this truth after a long battle. However, this time, Dong Zhuo sent Hua Xiong to take the risk of robbing the grain, and there must be something inside. In the next thought, or Dong Zhuo's army was short of food and grass, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to make this decision. ”
Cheng Yin said: "Can't you?" Dong Zhuo is a general of the imperial court, how can there be no grain and grass? ”
Han Sui snorted coldly, he couldn't know what the court was like now. There are constant fights between relatives and eunuchs in the capital, officialdom is chaotic, and corruption is prevalent. Thinking of the Yixian County where he thought he should have enough grain and grass, but there was no grain and grass, Han Sui thought that Cheng Gongying's guess should not be bad, and Dong Zhuo's army would run out of grain and grass. Also, there should be a lack of grain and grass in Huangfu Song's army, and he may have already returned to Meiyang, so there is no need for Chen Cang to defend it anymore.
After thinking about it, Han Sui ordered: "Cheng Gongying, you immediately notify General Bian Zhang of Chen Cang and ask him to lead a large army of grain and grass to Yixian County to join our army." In addition, Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, Li Kanma, and ordered the four of you to lead 5,000 cavalry, search for Hua Xiong's whereabouts, and take back the grain and grass for me. ”
"喏~"
…………
"It's just that Wen Zheng also knows that the Huaxiong Wind Camp has 3,000 Xiliang Iron Riders, and can travel 500 miles in a day. But if he was holding grain and grass, Hua Xiong's marching speed would be greatly reduced, and he would not come and go like the wind before. Dong Zhuo said with a frown.
Li Ru smiled and continued: "The lord wants to say that if Han Sui sends troops to pursue him, Huaxiong will definitely be in danger." Isn't Confucianism right? ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "That's right!" What is the solution for Wenzheng? ”
Li Ru said: "I warned Huaxiong before he set off, and when he came back, he should not return the same way, but bypass Yixian County from the north and return to Meiyang. ”
Dong Zhuo asked puzzledly, "Why the north?" If we return from the south, we can meet Xu Rong on both sides. ”
Li Ru was calm and unhurried, and said eloquently: "The lord doesn't need to be confused, if it is not bad as expected, there is a reinforcement coming from the north. The lord can then send Gao Shun or Dong Huang to lead a group of men and horses to pick up General Ying Hua from the north. ”
Dong Zhuo immediately rose into the air, clapped his hands and said: "You don't need to send people, you take Gao Shun Dong Huang to guard the city, and a certain family will personally lead a thousand cavalry to meet them!" ”
