Chapter 137 IV Visitors
How is this possible, how is this possible? Gesang, who heard the news, said this sentence twice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is enough to prove what kind of shock this news had on Gesang.
Gesang couldn't figure it out, the route of his own army had been set a long time ago, there were only a few roads between his camp and the Flying Eagle Fort, and the route of his own march had already blocked these routes, and it was reasonable to say that Wang Hanxin's troops were ambushed in advance and were not discovered by themselves, but it was impossible to say that it was impossible to cross his 200,000 troops and advance backwards. Did this Wang Hanxin have wings? Even if he has wings, can his subordinates have wings?
But no matter how Wang Hanxin did this, the facts in front of him will not change, his own grain and grass were burned by Wang Hanxin, how long can this 200,000 army last? I do still have some food on hand, but this food is not enough to take Flying Eagle City, nor enough to bring back the 200,000 troops, and now it can really be said that I am in a dilemma.
Now, I can only take risks. Gesang thought so in his heart. The withdrawal of troops is obviously self-defeating, Wang Hanxin will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cover up, and no matter how powerful the army is without food and grass, it will definitely collapse, and the result of this will definitely be the collapse of the whole army. The biggest way to survive for today's plan is to assault Flying Eagle City with the whole army, even if you fight for half of the soldiers' lives, you have to take Flying Eagle City. Moreover, if Wang Hanxin's main force has already assaulted his rear, then it means that there will not be too many remaining troops in the Flying Eagle Castle, and the casualties in taking the Flying Eagle Castle may be smaller than expected. In this way, the food in Flying Eagle City can be temporarily alleviated, and a large number of casualties can also save some food expenses.
Just as Gesang was planning to gather troops and quickly attack Flying Eagle City, someone from front came to report: Wang Hanxin asked to see him.
Gesang was taken aback when he heard this--this Wang Hanxin, I really don't know if it's because he's too fat or because he lacks a root in his brain. This has just burned his own food and put his army in a dangerous situation of life and death, but he swaggered to see him, which is also too deceitful.
"How many people did he bring?" Gesang asked.
"It's just him and a retinue." The man below replied.
"Heh, this is really not alive or dead." Gesang said and clenched the hilt of the knife at his waist: "Please! ”
Thinking about it carefully, Wang Hanxin dared to come to see him alone, either he had already won the battle, so he had nothing to fear, or there was some bigger conspiracy hidden behind him, and he planned to use himself as bait to gain time. Gesang felt that no matter what his purpose was, he had to meet this opponent first, even if he fought to the death, he would kill this Wang Hanxin first.
Under the angry gaze of the Tibetan soldiers, Wang Hanxin calmly walked into Gesang's treasure tent. As soon as he saw Gesang, he smiled and said: "You are the Zanpu Gesang of Tubo, you are really extraordinary." In Xia Wang Hanxin, I saw Zampu. ”
Gesang said with a gloomy face: "It turned out to be Lord Wang Hanxin, who has been famous for a long time. I don't know why you have time to come to my tent today, sir, there must be something important, right? ”
Wang Hanxin patted his forehead lightly with his hand and said with a smile: "Zan Pu is wise." There's something important to tell Zamp here, and that's why Pegasus came. ”
"In that case, please sit down and take your time." Gesang said as he motioned for the wine.
Wang Hanxin did not shirk, immediately sat beside Gesang, and arched his hand: "There are a few things to explain to you in the future. First, the day before yesterday, Prince Mang Gurqing led his troops to receive the Flying Eagle Fort, but unexpectedly, the soldiers mutinied on the night after the handover, and this incident was also unexpected. I never thought that Lord Buer still had a lot of prestige among the soldiers left behind, and most of these soldiers were unwilling to return to the homeland of Tibet, but fortunately, the army was transferred back in time to help Prince Manggulqing put down the rebellion. However, after this incident, the screening of the rebels proceeded quite unfavorably, and the names of many officers of your army were included in the list of confessions, and for the sake of prudence, the troops of your country had to be temporarily detained for examination. I guess you've heard of this from Prince Manggulqing, Lord Zangpu, right? ”
"I did know about this from a child, although there are slight differences in the original story, but there is little difference."
Wang Hanxin let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then you can rest assured." Now let's talk about the second thing. In the course of interrogating the rebels, I found out a very important piece of news, that is, these rebels not only spread their eyes in the garrison of your army, but even had contacts with other parts of your army. I heard that Zampu personally led his army to Flying Eagle Castle in order to solve this matter as soon as possible, so that your army's future is very empty. I learned that the grain and grass of your army were left in the rear, and if the grain and grass were burned by the rebels, it would be terrible. Therefore, he sent his subordinates to the rescue overnight. Unexpectedly, those rebels took the first step, and most of your army's grain and grass were burned. Fortunately, Lord Zampu was blessed by the gods, and with the hard work of our soldiers, some of the food was finally protected. ”
Gesang listened to the thought, and then said, "Oh? I don't know why I got the news so quickly. ”
Wang Hanxin laughed and said: "Lord Zampu doesn't know, do you still have a little experience in the transmission of this information?" It's not to brag about it, but our army's intelligence transmission capability is indeed slightly superior to your army's. After learning the news, I thought to myself, Lord Zampu, you have brought a whole 200,000 troops, and I don't know how long the leftover food can be supported, in case your army doesn't even have food to return to Tibet, wouldn't it cause the soldiers to mutiny? This kind of thing of relatives hurting enemies is not enough to say anything and watch it happen, right? Therefore, I hurried to see you at this time, and wanted to discuss with you, if your army's food and grass are insufficient, then I should immediately transfer food from the warehouse of Flying Eagle Fort to meet the needs of your army. ”
After hearing this, Gesang once again looked at this enemy general named Wang Hanxin from beginning to end, and from his smile, he couldn't see that the words he had just resigned were made up at all. The meaning of Wang Hanxin's words was very clear, he was just tactfully warning himself not to have any illusions, thinking that he could seize the Flying Eagle Fort by force. If this is the case, then he obviously does not want war today, but wants to negotiate and negotiate a result that is more favorable to the country of silk.
