Chapter 137: Luring the snake out of the hole
Guan Zhen frowned, squinted his eyes and glanced at Wang Zhao, then looked around at the generals coldly, and after a while, he saw that everyone was bowing their heads and was silent, so he took a deep breath, his eyes fell on Zhang Heng, and he slowly spoke:
"What did you just want to say? Say. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hand, and replied: "My lord, my subordinates think that our army should make a dangerous move, and when the guards have just defeated General Shen, when they are a little lax, they will send troops again and take him by surprise!" ”
Guan Zhen's eyes flashed, and after pacing back and forth in front of everyone for a few steps, Guan Zhen looked at Zhang Heng and replied:
"Although this plan is good, but it is too dangerous, once we can't win in a short time, and our army falls into a bitter battle, if the enemy divides his troops into two ways and takes the opportunity to sneak attack Dingbian, the general trend will be gone, and then the country will be opened, and I Guan Zhen will become a sinner of the Great Yan Empire."
After hearing this, Zhang Heng hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and said:
"My lord, although this trip is dangerous, as far as my subordinates know, the guards are now stagnant because they are unable to continue north," he said, turning his head to look at Wu Boyong and asking, "General Wu?" ”
Wu Boyong was looking down and thinking about things, but he didn't expect Zhang Heng to call him, but he didn't answer, until the people around him pushed him a few times, then he let out an "ah" and answered: "General Zhang!" ”
Zhang Heng's eyes flashed, but he said with a smile: "General Wu is worried about state affairs, and he can be called a model for my generation," he waved his hand without waiting for Wu Boyong to speak, and said: "General Wu, you have been in charge of investigating the movement of the guards and intelligence, Zhang wants to ask you for advice, why do the Patriotic Army want to rest in place now?" ”
Wu Boyong was stunned for a moment, frowned and replied: "Wu doesn't understand what Master Zhang meant. ”
Zhang Heng suddenly smiled, turned his head, and said to Guan Zhen, who was already showing anxiety and displeasure in front of him: "My lord, every early winter, after the leaves have fallen, in the whistling sound of the north wind, there will be yellow sand permeating, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth are dim, even the people of Yan who have lived here for generations will move into the city for temporary shelter because they can't stand the wind and sand, and only leave the city and go home after the wind gradually subsides and the yellow sand recedes in the coming year,"
After speaking, he paused, turned his body, and said to the thoughtful Zhujun: "Even the people of my empire can't stand this storm and yellow sand, let alone the Southern Barbarian enemy soldiers who entered for the first time!" ”
Seeing that someone had nodded in agreement, Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his voice couldn't help but increase a little, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy army has just defeated me, there must be a sense of relaxation, and it is not suitable for the climate of our country, our army occupies the right time and place, and the southern barbarian soldiers are not the opponents of our Yan State Iron Army, and they have the advantage of people, if they don't send troops to attack, the great opportunity will be lost!" He didn't wait for everyone to speak, he stepped forward, pointed to the yellow sand outside the sky, and said:
"In addition, there is another reason why the guards are not in a hurry to send troops"
When everyone saw him pause, they were all stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that although the wind and sand outside were strong, the yellow sand was overwhelming, blocking the view, but between heaven and earth, under the sky, there was a gloom in the dimness.
The weather is cloudy and rainy.
It seemed that in an instant, everyone lowered their heads at the same time, and even Wang Zhao was not speaking.
Inside the hall, there was silence.
Only Zhang Heng turned his head to look at Guan Zhen with a smug face, and everyone was waiting for him to give the order to attack the south.
Guan Zhen took a deep breath, although he felt that what Zhang Heng said was very reasonable and a clever plan, but somehow, there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart.
The eyes of the people in front of him cut his body like a blade, making him feel an invisible pain, as well as heaviness, at this time, in this city, his decision will completely change the fate of Dingbian City, Dingbian people and even Yan Kingdom!
His hands trembled slightly from the tremendous pressure, but there was a faint hint of anticipation and joy.
Is this the power of power? One person can condemn millions of people to life and death!
No wonder Shangguan Yu is so obsessed with power, if it were him, he would be willing.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over everyone, only to see that everyone was silent, waiting for him to speak.
There seemed to be laughter, sounding in my heart, and the pride that had been suppressed by Shangguan Yu for a long time was finally completely released at this time.
He completely forgot that behind all the generals in front of him, there were the eyes of 60,000 soldiers, and behind the soldiers, all the people of the entire Dingbian City burned incense and prayed!
He slowly stood up, enjoying the solitude in front of everyone.
Just when he was about to speak, he said, "Fight! At that time, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then heard the voice of the guard outside the door scolding.
All the generals turned their heads, Guan Zhen's eyes were sharp, his face showed displeasure, and before he could speak, he heard a knock on the door.
Guan Zhen frowned and said, "Come in." ”
The guard pushed the door in response, stepped forward, and bowed his hand: "Lord Qiqi, the scout outside the door asks to see, saying that there is an urgent military report!" ”
Guan Zhen's eyes flashed, nodded, and said, "Let him come in." ”
The guard saluted again and walked out of the door quickly, and then, a scout-like person trotted to the middle of the crowd, stopped not far from Guan Zhen, knelt directly on the ground, and said in a loud voice:
"Tell your lords, generals, there is an abnormal movement in the guards!"
There was a stir in the hall.
Guan Zhen took a breath and said, "What is the change?" ”
The scout hurriedly replied: "My lord, the villain found that the guards suddenly divided into two roads, one to the northwest of the mountain path, the other road continued to stay in place, according to the villain's observation, the road left behind was full of fire, when everyone was busy, the villain vaguely found that they were holding a rain prayer ceremony before our army set out!" ”
Everyone was taken aback.
Guan Zhen walked down the steps directly, his eyes widened, staring at the scout tightly, and said coldly: "You can see it clearly?" ”
The scout subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and replied in an astringent voice: "All, you can see it clearly, it is indeed two soldiers, two"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Guan Zhen shake his head, waved his hand, and asked, "I mean praying for rain!" ”
The scout nodded hurriedly and said in a loud voice: "Yes, it's my lord, it's true!" ”
Guan Zhen raised his head at this time, and after taking a few steps back, he hesitated for a while, suddenly turned around, and said to everyone: "Go, go up to the city with me to have a look." ”――
Yan Empire, an important border town, Dingbian City.
Almost all the generals and soldiers on the city wall looked up at the sky in surprise, only to see that behind the yellow sand, it was dim, and it seemed that soon a heavy rain would fall, and even the wind seemed to be much lighter.
In the city, an inexplicable uneasiness was like a plague, instantly transmitted to everyone's hearts, which was a deep-rooted and indelible fear in their hearts.
In almost everyone's hearts, there is this idea, that is, the people of Yan Country are the sinners of the previous world who return to this wilderness and sandy land to wash away the sinful, and whenever one party wants to war, there will be a sorcerer who asks for rain, respects the sky, and then washes away the sins.
Now the guards are coming, but the sky wants to rain heavily, and the heavens are so kind to the guards!
Almost everyone's hearts are shrouded in a layer of clouds, like the sky above their heads, the dark weather like ink.
Guan Zhen saw the soldiers' timidity, his heart sank, and he turned to the generals and ordered to inspect the city to appease people's hearts.
The generals got the order, and they all gave their hands to leave, and they went to the headquarters after listening to the order, and for a while, only Guan Zhen and Zhang Heng were left in the city.
Guan Zhen's face was a little ugly, his eyes were a little wandering, and when everyone was waiting for him to make a decision and change the situation, he was a little dazed and at a loss.
The slowly weakening north wind swept up the yellow sand in front of me, whistling towards the south, as if there was endless sand blowing, endless, with no end in sight.
In the place where the yellow sand swept through, not far from here, there was a hundred and ten-year-old feuds, and the Nanban, who was once regarded as a lamb by the people of the Yan Kingdom, now made them feel shocked.
And behind the north wind, it is the capital of the country where the situation is unknown, and the emperor's situation is unknown.
It seems that all the burdens, at this moment, are on his shoulders alone.
The country is too heavy, how to decide?
Guan Zhen was dazed and at a loss, as if all the courage before had dissipated again at some point.
Guards battalion.
Wan Yan Shuo stood in front of the soldiers with a smile, looking up at the high place above his head, Murong He took the stage to ask for rain, and said to Wang Huaiyi beside him: "Has the army of Lord Liang been pulled out?" ”
Wang Huaiyi withdrew his gaze from the makeshift altar and grinned: "It's already gone, before leaving, General Liang was going to say a few words to boost morale, but he didn't expect the wind to be heavy, he just lifted the mask, but before he could make a sound, a pile of sand got into his mouth, as a result, he spit a few mouthfuls of spit, and after putting the mask back on, he didn't say a word, beckoned and turned around and rode his horse and led the troops away, haha!" ”
After hearing this, Yan Shuo followed Zhan Yan and said with a smile: "General Liang has something to say, don't hold it back." ”
Wang Huaiyi nodded and said, "My lord, since you already know that there are still feasible mountain roads, why do you have to go to such great lengths and divide the troops into two routes?" Wouldn't it be okay to just go around the city with the whole army? ”
After hearing this, Yan Shuo shook his head slightly, glanced at Murong He at the height through the yellow sand, and said, "I also just found out not long ago, and this trip must annihilate all the defenders of Dingbian, and leave no one behind!" ”
Wang Huaiyi's eyes showed surprise, and he wondered: "Why is this?" ”
Wan Yan Shuo replied: "It's not time yet, when Murong Dan's reinforcements arrive, you will know." ”
When Wang Huaiyi heard him say this, he didn't ask anymore, nodded, just wanted to stretch his waist, but before he could raise his arm, he was pulled by Wan Yan Shuo, he turned his head in surprise, only to see Wan Yan Shuo raise his chin, as if he meant something.
Wang Huaiyi subconsciously looked at it, only to see that under the high platform, around the altar, almost all the soldiers showed fear on their faces, knelt on the ground, and did not dare to raise their heads.
And on the altar, as Murong He recited the words, waved his sword and prayed for rain, under the sky, it was even darker.
It's like a heavy rain is about to fall.
