Chapter 70 Hu Cai uses a plan, and the king should be the head
The task of negotiating with Ma Teng Han Sui was given to the military advisor Hu Cai. However www.biquge.info Tian Jing knew that without strong strength as support, negotiations would be meaningless. He ordered Wei Yan and Wang Ping to lead two and thirteen thousand horses south, and Chen Bing Puban.
Hu Cai arrived at Ma Teng, Han Sui's camp, saw the two commanders, Chen said the stakes: "If Cao Cao is better than Yuan Shao, then the Western Liang army will attack Hedong, which is the first achievement." But what if Cao Cao is defeated, after all, Hedong and Yuan Shao have already formed an alliance, if Yuan Shao occupies the center, I don't know how the Western Liang Army will deal with itself? It is better for the two families to withdraw their troops for the time being, preserve their strength, and once Yuan Cao's war has a result, it will not be too late to fight. I wonder what the two generals think? "
Ma Teng didn't say a word, and Han Sui smiled slightly, "The general is here, and we already understand the meaning of the general Zhengbei." It's just that the imperial court invited me to enter the customs in order to exterminate the rebels in Hedong, if we don't fight a battle, we are afraid that it will be difficult to explain, and Xiahou Yuan is not stupid, how can he supply our army with food and grass? "
Hu Cai heard Han Sui's voice, and said: "This kind of thing is originally you coming and going, and victory or defeat is just between turning over and overhand, so what's the matter if you fight it a few times." It's just how did Hu know the sincerity of the two? "
Han Sui said: "The two of us are far away from the station, and all the food and grass depend on others, where does the right to autonomy come from, the so-called sincerity is only afraid that I gave it, and the general is not easy to believe, right?" "
Hu Caixin said that Han Sui, the old fox, is really difficult. "The general's meaning Hu has already understood, but the joint still needs to be returned to my family before the general can decide. Hu returned to Anyi, for ten days at most and six days at the least, and he would definitely come back to give the general a satisfactory answer. "
Han Sui nodded in acquiescence. After Hu Cai left, before Ma Teng could speak, Ma Chao came out from behind the tent. "I think most of the Hedong Army is here to delay time, why should my uncle treat him well. As long as I am given 5,000 soldiers and horses, I can fight to Pingyang in half a month. "
"Meng Qi can't make a mistake, and military affairs are not child's play." Ma Teng reprimanded.
Han Sui smiled, "What the virtuous nephew said is good. We have to guard against the Hedong Army from delaying time. Since he wants to make peace, if we win, we need more conditions. Tonight, the virtuous nephew can lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Hedong military camp and catch it off guard. "
That night, Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses
It turned out that Hu Cai returned to the camp and explained the negotiation situation to Wei Yan, asked him to contain the Xiliang army here for at least ten days, and told Wei Yan that the enemy army might sneak attack tonight.
After Hu Cai arranged a number of affairs, he set off on the same day and rushed to Dongyuan.
Since Xiahou Yuan withdrew from Hangu Pass and Le Jin returned to Hanoi, now only Wang Dang's lone army is left in Hedong.
When Hu Cai arrived in the city, he asked people to directly communicate with Wang Dang, saying that the old man Hu Cai was visiting.
Wang Dang didn't expect Hu Cai to dare to come. On the same day, Hedong was besieged, and Wang Dang basically did not resist, so he led the people to surrender to Cao's army. In fact, long before the war, he received a gift from Guo Jia, and he believed Guo Jia's words that Hedong would die in March. After all, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. He felt that after he surrendered, Yan Shuai would definitely surrender as well, after all, he had done this kind of thing when he did the Yellow Turban. Who knows, not only did the others not surrender, but the Hedong army also fought a beautiful counterattack, and now that the Cao army has withdrawn, he has left a person who does not love his grandmother and uncle at the forefront.
Wang Dang knew that Hu Cai was most likely here to recruit him, but could he still go back? He also had no idea.
After Hu Cai took his seat, he smiled and said, "General Wang, don't come unharmed?" "
Wang Dang smiled embarrassedly, "Military advisor, Wang Mou was really not strong enough in the first battle that day, so in order to follow my thousands of brothers, I made this decision to surrender Cao." But since the surrender, Wang has been worried every day, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. "
Hu Cai said: "I thought that the general was prosperous and rich, but I had long forgotten our mud-legged brothers, it turned out that the general's wealth was not easy?" "
Wang Dangdao: "Where did the military advisor speak?" Wang is ashamed. "
Hu Cai said: "Listen to the general's intentions, I'm just afraid that I will do it anyway?" "
Wang Dang said, "Although Wang has this heart, I am afraid that Yan Shuai will not be able to tolerate me, after all, in Montenegro, Yan Shuai's method of dealing with traitors is still fresh in Wang's memory." "
Hu Cai said: "At this time, at that time, it was the king of the mountain, relying on the rules of the rivers and lakes. Now that Hedong is on the occasion of employing people, I, Hu, guarantee that Yan Shuai will definitely not be held accountable. "
Wang Dang was silent in thought.
Hu Cai said again: "I know your worries, the lord Tian Jingzhai is kind-hearted, if Yan Shuai doesn't pursue it, General Tian will naturally not treat you slowly." "
Wang Dangdao: "Strategist, how do you see the victory or defeat of Yuan Cao this time?" Will there be room for development of the Hedong Army in the future? "
Hu Cai heard the wait-and-see meaning in Wang Dang's tone, so he said, "In the battle between Yuan and Cao, who wins and who loses, our Hedong army has a way to survive." Moreover, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both old, they have no successors, and among the younger generation of princes, such as the lord is so ambitious, it is really rare, and the one who will dominate the world in the future must be the lord. And he is the only one who has clearly agreed to support the development of my teaching. Therefore, for the sake of personal planning and the sake of the Holy Sect, General Wang should return to Hedong. "
Wang Dang didn't expect Hu Cai to be so determined, and hesitated again and again before he said, "The military advisor has come from afar, and he must have not had a meal yet, so I will let my subordinates arrange a banquet." The military advisor will wait a while, and I will discuss it with the brothers below in a while, and give the military advisor a clear answer in a while. "
Hu realized that he had other thoughts, but smiled silently.
Soon after Hu Cai left, wine and food were delivered, and the personal guard, who was inseparable from Wang Dang, walked in, dipped his finger in the wine and wrote the words "Be careful, Cao Envoy is in the camp" on the table.
Hu Cai read it and erased the words with his hands, then closed his eyes and pondered, considering countermeasures.
After a while, Wang Dang came back, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "Strategist, I have discussed it with the brothers below just now, and this matter is a little difficult to handle. One is that after all, we surrendered to Cao's army, and the army division is magnanimous, but we are not clear about the plans of Tian Jing and Yan Shuai, the generals of the expedition to the north. Can you ask General Tian to write an edict that is not to blame for the past, so that the brothers can rest assured. "
Hu Cai listened, nodded slightly, "This is okay", and then waited for Wang Dang's second condition.
Wang Dang said again, "After all, we are used to guarding this Dongyuan City, can we still let us be stationed here based on Dongyuan, thinking that it is an outpost in Hedong." In the future, I can lead my troops to conquer Kei Pass for the Hedong Army and open up the way to attack Hanoi. "
Hu Cai said: "The entire Zhengbei General's Mansion is uniformly dispatched militarily, there is no precedent for this matter, and I can't respond to you." "
Hu Cai said again: "This third, it's not a secret, our brothers originally fell into the grass for the sake of glory and wealth, and they surrendered to him Tian Jing for the sake of high-ranking officials and Houlu." But the food and clothing in Hedong are not as good as when I was in Montenegro, not to mention the brothers, I can't bear it. The military advisor can find a way to ask his brothers for some military salaries, so that I can explain to the below. "
When Wang Dang said the second condition, Hu Cai was already a little displeased, and what Wang Dang mentioned was basically talking about the conditions. And he is exploring Hu Cai's bottom line step by step. Hu Cai said, "Only when the Northern Army is united and united can it have the opportunity to develop and grow." General Tian and Yan Shuai are both blessed people who share with everyone, and the current difficulties are not the business of your team. You just mentioned this matter, but I'm afraid that Hedong has no financial resources now. ”
Wang Dang smiled, and said, "The military advisor doesn't seem to take a fancy to my more than 10,000 soldiers and horses." Then I might as well continue to work for Prime Minister Cao, what do you say? ”
Hu Cai got up and clenched his fists, "Since the words are not speculative, then Hu will not bother, General Wang is so self-cherishing." ”
As soon as Hu Cai walked to the door, Wang Dang made a color, and a guard had already drawn a sword to block the way. Hu Cai turned around and looked at Wang Dang coldly, it seems that I was wrong, General Wang still has the idea of leaving Hu to go to Cao Ying to invite merit? ”
Wang Dang said: "Don't dare." However, Cao Cao's advisor Guo Jia has always been interested in the intelligence system of the military division. ”
Hu Cai suddenly said, "General Wang, do you know why I, Hu Cai, can be a three-in-command when I go to Hedong, and I can get Yan Shuai's trust when I go to Montenegro?" ”
Wang Dang said: "I forgot that you are still a disciple of the great sage and good teacher. ”
Hu Cai said, "Because I have the secret of the Holy Sect, the great sage and good teacher wrote the three books of heaven, earth and man, and the book of heaven can calculate the fortune of each person, and the picture of the book of heaven is tattooed on my back, can the general take a look?"
Wang Dang was stunned for a moment when Hu Cai said this.
Hu Cai said, "The general will invite the guards out, and I will let you see the secrets of the Book of Heaven." ”
Wang Dang's curiosity aroused, after all, the great sage and good teacher are not ordinary people. He told the guards to withdraw, leaving only the personal guards. said to Hu Cai, "This person is one with me, and the military advisor can show people in the book of heaven." ”
Hu Cai took off his robe, and his back was tattooed with strange patterns. Wang Dang doesn't understand the art of weft, where can he understand it. I just think those patterns are complicated, and the longer I look at them, the more dazzling I feel.
At this moment, Hu Cai suddenly said, "The king is your life, today - you should die!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a steel knife slashing through Wang Dang's neck, and a big head rolled to the ground. The killer was none other than Wang Dang's personal guard.
Hu Cai put on his clothes and said to the guard, "Your mission is over, and in the future, you will resume your real name Wang Yi and be the captain of my Flying Eagle." The man nodded, "No!" Thank you for the training. ”
Hu Cai said, "We still have to clean up the mess and invite all the officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel to come, and say that General Wang Dang wants to discuss with everyone." How many people can you control among the guards, so that they can control this house for me. ”
Wang Yi quickly went out to make arrangements.
When the lieutenants entered the house, they had mixed reactions when they saw Wang Dang's head, but when they saw the military advisor Hu Cai, they already understood the approximation.
Hu Cai got straight to the point and told everyone that Wang Dang was dead, and now he asked the captains to lead the headquarters back to Hedong.
Everyone looked to Hu Cai, and naturally no one objected.
Hu Cai asked everyone to keep the secrets strictly and withdraw from Dongyuan ten days later. At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report, saying that several spies sent by Cao Jun were quietly leaving the camp with a prisoner at night.
Hu Caixin couldn't say it well, so he quickly asked people to chase him. Tell them not to live, but don't let anyone get the word out here.
