Chapter 286: Going North to Give Gifts
On this day, Han Yong convened a meeting of generals in the big tent of the Chinese army to deploy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Hu and Tuoba Yulu are aggressive, Liu Yao of Chang'an is also reported to be ready to move, our army will be attacked on three sides, the current situation is so grim, there is no need to say more. This time, the lord personally came to Jingbian to supervise the battle, precisely hoping that we would be courageous. If it goes on any longer, it will not only be fruitless, but it will be sinful. Moreover, our army has few troops, many enemies, and the situation is scorching and unfavorable for confrontation. Therefore, it cannot be dragged on like this any longer, and a certain intention is to quickly open up the situation and create fighters. First of all, I would like to ask Deng Duhu and a number of deputy envoys to introduce the current situation. ”
Deng Heng stood up and told the past and current situation of the Tiefu Department. He is a native of Biansai, and he knows all aspects better, plus he is now a high-ranking official and general in Xia Prefecture, so he is even more concerned about everything. Duochai, the deputy envoy of the internal government, followed him and explained in detail the various data of the other party collected by the internal government scouts.
The main bookkeeper Xie Ai continued: "The previous generation army arrived at the Guye River, and camped in a formation stretching for dozens of miles on the east bank on the opposite side, the army was tight, there was no gap to enter for a while, and there was an offensive situation of crossing the river at any time, the main force of our army is currently in strict formation on the west bank, and the flank is echoed by the Tianshui Fan Taishou Department, but the number of troops is relatively small, and they dare not act rashly, so they can only cooperate. Now Liu Hu has entered the northern border of our state, resulting in our army being attacked on both sides. The Dai army is fierce and strong, and it is really difficult to defeat in a head-on battle. In addition, Liu Hu also came to take advantage of the fire to rob. If we are not careful, our army will be in danger of rout, and according to the will of our subordinates, we can only find another way to win by surprise. ”
After Han Yong arrived in Xiazhou, he soon talked to Xie Ai. These two people are typical war-plotters, and the truth they have believed in all their lives is that they are just 'going to the army to fight and plot, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating'. They are different from Lei Qizhi, Yang Jiantou and other generals, they pay attention to one force to reduce ten meetings, and like to use overwhelming force on the battlefield to destroy the withering and decaying. The war-seeking faction used its troops to analyze and figure out the various dynamics of the enemy and us with a long-term vision and calculations, and formulated a strategic plan that was extremely suitable.
Everyone looked over and heard Xie Ai say again: "...... Therefore, our army must not go to war on both sides at the same time, so as to avoid being overwhelmed. If you can temporarily stabilize the Dai army, and at the same time quickly go north to defeat Liu Hu, then you can take advantage of the power of victory, join forces to advance, and let go of the decisive battle with the Dai army without distractions. ”
Yao Xiang, who had been promoted to Zhonglang General, couldn't help asking: "Master Xie's words are very true. But how can he defeat Liu Hu in one battle. You must know that although Liu Hu is not as good as Tuoba Yulu, he is also a native of Saibei, and he has been entrenched for many years, and this time he personally led 10,000 people to attack me. If you are not careful, not only can you not defeat him quickly, but you miss the opportunity, and he will defeat him in turn. ”
Han Yong saw Xie Ai's expression, and he must have made a decision, so he nodded his head at him and motioned for him to come directly. Xie Ai said that there was indeed a plan, but the matter was very important and must not be disclosed, otherwise it would be very easy to die and be defeated, and he would be offended, and asked Han Yongping to retreat from the crowd, and then stepped forward and whispered in a whisper.
Han Yong's face was as thin as a moment, and his sunken eyes were sometimes half-closed, sometimes turning, and his expression was quite moving. Later, Han Yong opened his eyes and looked at Xie Ai fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "The master book's plan is very good. But you can't let you get into danger personally, and if things don't go well, you can't wait for the Lord, and you can't forgive yourself. ”
Seeing that Han Yong, who had always been moody and almost indifferent, rarely showed sincere concern, Xie Ai was a little moved, but said proudly: "Thank you for your care." However, the lower officials thought that there should not be any danger if they went to this situation. If you send favoritism casually, you will not be able to gain the trust of the other party, and there will be no way to talk about the relevant follow-up, but if you break things, you will not be able to seek victory. ”
"But ......"
"Rest assured! When your army arrives, the lower officials will find an opportunity to escape. Xie Ai said, suddenly tidied up his outfit, and said with a straight face: "Those who do great things, as long as they put aside their worries for the time being, they must grit their teeth and try it first." If things are corrupted, the subordinate officials will definitely die in the line of duty, and will never become a burden, so as to drag down the lord and the whole army. The matter is urgent, so please go, please work hard! ”
Han Yong had mixed feelings in his heart, and he had nothing to say, so he only held Xie Aiwen's weak arm tightly with a pair of big hands.
In the king's tent of the Tiefu Hun army, Liu Hu, the majestic and fat leader, sat in the wolf mattress chair in the middle of the head, frowning and listening to a subordinate whispering in his ear. After a while, Liu Hu's bull's eyes widened, and he quickly asked a few words, then nodded his head and shouted, "Bring it up!" ”
The low sound of the bull's horn whined, and outside the king's tent, there were warriors like wolves and tigers, lined up on both sides, holding bright blades in their hands, staring at the two of them fiercely, and walking in one after the other.
When Liu Hu saw someone coming in, he slapped the case several times, and asked viciously for some reason: "Who is coming!" ”
The person in front, dressed as a polite Confucian scholar, saluted respectfully, cleared his throat and replied: "In Xia Xie Ai, Xi is the master of Xiazhou, and on the order of the state lord, he sent an envoy to your state, and the person behind him is the accompanying deputy envoy Lu Yu - to meet Da Danyu." ”
Bang again, Liu Hu didn't answer at all, and shouted: "Drag it out and cut it!" ”
The soldiers outside the tent entered when they heard the sound, stepped forward and put their blades around their necks, dragging Xie Ai and the deputy envoy away.
The deputy envoy Lu Yu was so frightened that he shouted. Xie Ai also struggled with all his might, and shouted urgently: "I came from afar to give gifts, who expected that Da Shan would be such a way of hospitality!" ”
Liu Hu raised his hand, paused the soldiers, and said coldly: "I know that you are here to persuade Gu to retire, and you dare to say anything to come and give gifts, do you think I am a three-year-old doll!" ”
Saying that, Liu Hu slapped the case again, glaring evilly, as long as it was half wrong, he would immediately take the lives of Xie Ai and the others, and the weapons of those soldiers were still holding them murderously.
On the line of life and death, Sen Han's blade was close to the hot skin, causing a large number of goosebumps. Lu Yu trembled, half-hunched and panting, and couldn't recover for a long time.
Xie Ai quickly calmed down, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, straightened up and said, "Da Danyu is wrong. I didn't come here to persuade Zun to retire, but to give a rare gift. ”
"You say!"
"This gift, although it can't be seen or touched, but Da Danyu will enjoy it for a long time. Before that, I dared to ask Da Danyu, why did you come to attack my Xiazhou at this time? ”
Liu Hu was impatient, and said bluntly: "The Xiahetao is mine, you have inexplicably occupied it, and what kind of Xiazhou is established." That's it, but you still dare to pretend to be me and provoke Liu Yao to fight with me, which took me a lot of effort. You say, who came up with this bad idea? I just want to get rid of all the hateful people like you, not only to put the Xiahetao in my hands again, but also to relieve the anger in my heart! ”
Xie Ai secretly said ashamed, it was the idea that he had just made. But he was noncommittal, and said, "...... All right. So can Da Shan Yu know that our army is at war with the Xianbei people? ”
"The whole world knows, why don't I know, am I a dead man!"
Xie Ai stared at Liu Hu's angry bull's eyes, and asked unhurriedly: "Then may I ask Da Danyu again, do you have any predictions for the difference between victory and defeat?" ”
Liu Hu sneered and said disdainfully: "What else do you want to predict." The generation is fierce, and Tuoba Yulu is personally recruited, and the army is 100,000. How many people are there in your Xiazhou? No matter how you fight, you lose, even if Gao Yue goes into battle in person, it doesn't matter what use. ”
Xie Ai laughed suddenly: "Everyone in the world says that Da Dan Yu is the master of the north, but there are also negligences. Don't you hear that the soldiers are not many but fine, and the generals are not brave but scheming? Is it true that if we have few soldiers, we must lose the war? ”
Liu Hu was even more impatient, waved his hand and said, "I don't care if you win or lose the battle, none of this has anything to do with me." And your family and the Tuoba family are both my opponents, and I am happy if anyone loses. As for you, now it's time to either give a gift or give your own head, you can choose one! ”
"The people of the world do not hesitate to die. Since Da Shan Yu is so straightforward, he will get straight to the point. Within this month, our army will inevitably defeat Tuoba Yulu, and as for the reason, it is natural that our strategy is our strategy. I want to specifically inform Da Shan Yu that our army can even defeat 100,000 generations of troops in one fell swoop, and at that time, with the power of victory, we will go north and crusade against you, can your army withstand it? ”
“…… How do you know we can't resist? ”
Liu Hu's mouth was still hard, but he also muttered a little in his heart. The Qin army is good at fighting, and he has also heard of this. Liu Yao, who swept the world in the past, is said to have suffered several losses under the Qin army. At the moment, seeing that Xie Ai is confident, it is estimated that he will definitely defeat the Dai army, and most of them are not talking big. Then, when the time came, facing the menacing Qin army, Liu Hu thought to himself, and felt that it was really a bit tricky.
