Chapter 292: Heavenly Omen

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by Lao Luo is very exciting, but it also misses many awesome characters. And Heqi belongs to that category that has been missed. He Qi Zi Gongmiao, Huiji Shanyin people's clan, before Sun Ce took Jiangdong, He Qi was only a county magistrate, only because he killed the subordinates who were in collusion with the Shanyue people for evil and attracted Shanyue to attack the city, but the result was unexpected, He Qi won a complete victory, and since then he has been powerful in Shanyue.

Sun Ce crossed the river to attack Jiangdong, and He Qi led his troops to annex, and was reused by Sun Ce, and appointed him to sit in Huiji to deter Shanyue. After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan continued to be reused, and He Qi led his troops to resist Cao Wei repeatedly, and the official went to Xuzhou Mu.

However, no one is perfect, although He Qi has the ability, but he likes luxury, and because he rarely fails, his personality is a little stubborn and self-serving, and he can't listen to the correct opinions of others.

Of course, this is the He Qi in history, Liu Xie changed the fate of the Han Dynasty, and by the way, it also affected many people. He Qi was supposed to be loyal to Sun Quan after Sun Ce's death, but now Sun Ce is not dead, and He Qi is suspicious of Sun Quan because he is Sun Ce's old department. Although He Qi relied on the He family army in his hand to make Sun Quan dare not move himself easily, it was also difficult to gain Sun Quan's trust.

In this battle with the Han army, He Qi was ordered to lead his troops to Chibi to wait for dispatch, but due to Sun Quan's "prejudice", He Qi was not reused by LΓΌ Meng. Of course, Lu Meng would not offend He Qi for no reason, and he didn't care about it after arranging He Qi to be in charge of guarding the grain and grass in the rear army.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and it is indeed a big deal to guard the grain and grass, but this is not what He Qi wants. After Sun Quan became the lord of Jiangdong, He Qi was excluded from the center of power due to the "stain" on his body. Sun Ce regarded He Qi as a great future that could sit on the side for him, but Sun Quan regarded He Qi as a confidant and was on guard.

At that time, Liu Xie did not have the power he has now, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, for the future of the He family, He Qi is determined to gain Sun Quan's trust, so as to seek opportunities for the development of the He family. In order to win Sun Quan's trust, He Qi went to Moling alone to take up his post, although this made Sun Quan feel a little relieved to a certain extent, but his vigilance against He Qi was still unabated. And He Qi knew that freezing three feet was not a day's cold, and if he wanted to gain the trust of the suspicious Sun Quan, the only way was to persevere.

He Qi's choice was right, Sun Quan has indeed slowly relaxed his vigilance against He Qi in recent years, trying to trust He Qi to be loyal to him. But what He Qi didn't expect was that just when he thought that he could take the opportunity of this war with the Han army to show his strength and cause Sun Quan to reuse, Sun Quan's attitude towards him suddenly became cold again.

Originally, Lu Meng ordered He Qi to lead his troops to take care of the grain and grass, although this work was boring and boring, but it was also a heavy task, after all, the safety of the grain and grass is directly related to the victory or defeat of a war. But what He Qi didn't expect was that Lu Meng suddenly ordered himself to be transferred out of Chibi and ordered him to lead his troops to Chaisang to be responsible for defending the city.

A big war is imminent, and going to the rear at this time is tantamount to losing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. He Qi was unwilling, and his eldest son He Da fought with Lu Meng on the basis of reason, but he didn't expect that Lu Meng, who was originally polite to their He family's father and son, suddenly turned his face, if it weren't for the intercession of the generals in the account, He Da almost beheaded Lu Meng in public for disobeying the general's order.

"Father, Lu Meng's attitude suddenly changed greatly, and the child felt that it might be related to Xue Zong's envoy." He Da, who was lucky enough to escape from the ghost gate, lay on the couch and said to He Qi, who was giving him medicine.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, although Lu Meng spared He Da not to die, but sixty spinal canes are a lot, and they hit He Da's back firmly, thanks to Heda's strong body, if he was an ordinary person, he might be beaten to death.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ For my father and Xue Zongsu have no grudges, will he harm me? He Qi frowned and asked.

"Father, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, although Xue Zong and my He family have no selfish grudges, but what my He family originally served is not the current lord."

When He Da said this, He Qi believed it in his heart. Sun Ce's old department, these four words seem to have become a curse that hinders He Qi's future, no matter how hard He Qi tries to prove his loyalty to Sun Quan, but if there is a slight disturbance, he will still doubt himself without hesitation.

As soon as he was reminded by his son, He Qi thought of this sudden transfer again, and he seemed to have found the root cause of Sun Quan's sudden change in his attitude towards him.

"Hiss~Father...... Tap. He Da let out a cry of pain, and the distracted He Qi came back to his senses. Looking at his son's beaten skin and fleshy back, He Qi's heart couldn't help but be nameless. I originally wanted to be a loyal minister of your Sun family, but unfortunately your Sun Quan is so suspicious, since this is the case, what good is this Sun family protecting him.

"Father, forgive the child for saying something you don't like to hear, the lord has never trusted you and my father and son, why do we have to use our hot face to stick to other people's cold butts. My father once worked for Sun Ce, this is a thorn in the heart of the lord, even if I am forced to treat my father and son well at this time, when the wind and waves are calm in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack my He family again. ”

"Silence!" He Qi snorted lightly, got up and came to the tent, and felt a little relieved after making sure that there was no one outside the tent. When he returned to the couch, he whispered to He Da: "You are injured now, and tomorrow my father will arrange for someone to send you back to Huiji to recuperate." ”

"Father, where are you?"

"When you go back, you will come with your second brother."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Father, do you really intend to be loyal to Sun Quan, who doesn't trust our father and son? Heda asked unwillingly.

Hearing this, He Qi shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense! Although the lord has misunderstood my He family, my father believes in sincerity, and the gold and stone are the ......."

"Father, there is no outsider in the tent now, so why should you deceive yourself? If you are really that loyal, why did you secretly correspond with Sun Ce? Heda asked, pouting.

"Nonsense, when did my father do such things as Qin and Twilight." He Qi immediately denied it.

Seeing that He Qi refused to admit it, He Da, as his son, had no choice, so he had to lie on the bed depressedly to rest, and fell asleep after a while. Seeing his son fall asleep, He Qi couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smile bitterly. This eldest son is indeed inferior to the second son, and his joy and anger are all in shape, and he has no city government at all. At present, although there is no one else in the tent, how can such a thing as defection to the enemy be openly shouted.

……

Jiangbei Han Army Battalion

Liu Xie didn't know that He Qi's son He Da was beaten today, and even if he knew, he didn't have much interest. When Xue Zong came, Liu Xie and his subordinates jointly acted in a play, telling Xue Zong to think that he had got some big secret and went back to ask Sun Quan for credit, but in fact, Liu Xie didn't care who Sun Quan would suspect after Xue Zong went back.

Fighting a war is inseparable from intrigue and intrigue, but in the case of absolute superiority, intrigue and intrigue are only embellishments, but they cannot affect the outcome of victory or defeat. Today's Liu Xie's soldiers are strong and strong, especially after these few months of delay, the Han army has basically recovered its strength from the previous war, and what is lacking now is a warship that is enough to annihilate the Sun-Liu coalition army in one battle.

Just as Wang Ping persuaded Yan Yan to be relieved, Liu Xie was indeed making up his mind about a war. Instead of fighting guerrilla warfare with Sun Liu in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to complete a major war of annihilation. As long as the main force of the Sun and Liu coalition forces is killed in this Chibi, then Sun Quan and Liu Bei will not be able to grow the tail of a rabbit.

Since the idea of annihilating the Sun-Liu coalition army is a bit inappropriate, it is a bit inappropriate to take the initiative to attack. The Han army was very strong, and Liu Xie was also confident that he could defeat the Sun-Liu coalition army in one battle. But the problem is that the Sun-Liu coalition army is not stupid, once they see that the situation is not good, they will definitely want to run, and then they will scatter and flee, and the number of fish that slip through the net will also increase, posing a threat to the stability of Jiangnan in the future.

Liu Xie hopes to get a stable Jiangnan, not a Jiangnan that is full of wars and must fight guerrilla warfare with Sun Liu for several years to stabilize.

It's not good to take the initiative to attack, so you can only wait for the Sun-Liu coalition army to take the initiative to attack, and then drag the Sun-Liu coalition army, so that they can't slip away even if they see the situation is not good, this is the result that Liu Xie wants to see.

The Battle of Chibi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms ended with Cao Cao's defeat and Sun Liu's victory. And Liu Xie's idea was to wait for Sun and Liu's coalition forces to attack ashore, and then cut off Sun Liu's way back. It is not easy to achieve this, Sun Liu is not stupid, it is impossible to obediently stick to Liu Xie's arms, if Liu Xie wants to achieve his goal, then he must think about it, and he must make preparations with both hands.

Liu Xie had conducted many deductions with his advisers, and knew that Sun Liu wanted to win this battle of Chibi only with the help of fire and water. But all the battles in which less wins more are mostly to take advantage of the situation. Some use fire and water, and some intercept the grain routes. At present, it is impossible for Sun Liu to intercept Liu Xie's grain road, so the only way to do this is with the help of the two potentials of water and fire, it is now winter, and the southeast wind blows on the river from time to time, and Liu Xie learned the lesson of Lao Cao in history, and ordered people to invite people to live by the river all the year round and be familiar with the climate of the river, so as to understand the situation on the river through them and prevent Sun Liu from using fire on himself.

As for the water attack, it is winter at the moment, and it is in the period of exhaustion, and Sun Liu wants to use the water attack on Liu Xie, but the only way to wait until the spring flood time when the river water soars. What's more, Liu Xie had already ordered people to lead his troops to garrison the river upstream, so this water attack on Sun Liu could not be counted on.

Under Liu Xie's strict defense, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng could only give up the idea of wanting to attack by water, and concentrate on the fire attack that still had a little hope.

But it is not easy to succeed in the fire attack, Liu Xie has a lot of resourceful people, especially in order to deal with Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie tied Sima Yi, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng together, specifically to deal with Zhuge Liang. At this time, Zhuge Liang didn't know about this, otherwise he would definitely feel proud.

Unlike the four Sima Yi under Liu Xie, Zhuge Liang is now far inferior in terms of fame and popularity. This is also no way, Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven, Sima Yi and the four of them followed Liu Xie to fight in the south and the north, and their meritorious deeds are spread all over the world. And Zhuge Liang voted for Liu Bei, Liu Bei has been committed to the development of Jiaozhou over the years, except for Jiaozhou and Jiangdong, which is adjacent to Liu Bei, who knows that there is such a person as Zhuge Liang, people in other places have only heard of Zhuge Liang's name and have not seen him. Moreover, Zhuge Liang has not had any commendable "great achievements" over the years, and his reputation is naturally inferior to Sima Yi and others.

However, although his fame is not obvious, it does not mean that Zhuge Liang has no ability. As Zhuge Liang's former classmate, Sima Yi knows very well how difficult Zhuge Liang is. Therefore, when deducing with Liu Xie, Guo Jia and others, Sima Yi often plays the role of Zhuge Liang.

Deduction is a good thing, which often allows people to discover their own negligence and shortcomings in the process of deduction. At the beginning, Liu Xie and others only paid attention to and prepared for the fire attack of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, and ignored the idea of attacking the enemy with water.

Now Liu Xie and others are deducing again, and this time it is Zhuge Liang played by Sima Yi and Lu Meng played by Fa Zheng as opponents. Coupled with Liu Xie, there are a total of five people, and the two sides have mapped the battlefield and started a fierce battle, wanting to find their own loopholes and good opportunities to break the enemy through this simulation.

Sima Yi, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng, these four people are all proficient in Tao strategy, plus Liu Xie, who is on the edge of the sword, and the deduction of the five people often attracts a large number of people to visit. Of course, for the sake of secrecy, the people who are qualified to visit are all people who hold important positions in the army, and in the process of deduction, it is forbidden for idle people to approach, unless there is a major event that must be reported immediately.

Liu Xie was staring at the map on the table to study what to do next, and suddenly the light in front of him dimmed, Liu Xie subconsciously looked out of the tent, remembering that it was just past afternoon, and it shouldn't have been so dark. I heard a noise of people outside the tent, and then someone rushed in, "Holy Lord, it's not good, Tengu eats the sun." ”

Whether it is a tengu eclipse of the sun or a tengu eclipse of the moon, Liu Xie knows that this is just a very normal astronomical phenomenon, which is often referred to as a total solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse in later generations. However, in ancient times, the occurrence of the phenomenon of Tengu Eclipse was not a good sign.

"Don't panic, that wave of tengu will spit out the sun in a moment." Liu Xie was not angry with the people who came to report the news. Pang Tong and Guo Jia, who were sitting quietly on the side, looked at Liu Xie with very surprised eyes when they heard this, and the fact was just as Liu Xie said, about half a pillar of incense had passed, and the profligate tengu really spit out the sun.

"Holy Lord, how do you know that the Tengu will spit out the sun?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I know Erlang Zhenjun, and of course I know his broken dog. Liu Xie said nonsense.

"Holy Lord, be serious, I'm serious." Guo Jia emphasized dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay, I know the answer to this question, but I don't know if you and Shiyuan can accept it?" Liu Xie shrugged.

"Please also ask the Holy Majesty to speak clearly." Guo Jia and Pang Tong glanced at each other and said in unison.

……

When Liu Xie popularized scientific knowledge for Guo Jia and Pang Tong, Guo Jia and Pang Tong's reaction was really the same as Liu Xie expected, these two guys didn't believe it at all, who was standing on a ball, so wouldn't people fall down when they were under the ball?

"Holy Lord, no matter what the reason for the Tengu Eclipse Day, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this to make some trouble." Guo Jia reminded Liu Xiedao in a deep voice.

"Well, it's not possible, but someone will definitely take advantage of the opportunity."
