Chapter 64: Serial Tricks (3)
However, it was said that Han Xuan went to the army with the order to mobilize troops and horses, urgently deploy defenses, arrange ambushes, and prepare to break the enemy in three days.
Han Xuan replied that Du attacked the enemy, and then told Du Raid and the enemy commander Liu Qi about the siege of the city, and said sharply: "Is Du Raid collaborating with the enemy?" Three days later, we will see, you don't have to make noise here, the Lord Taishou has an order, so that the general will temporarily take charge of the city's soldiers and horses, if you are not satisfied, you should be punished for violating the order. ”
After finishing speaking, Han Xuan demoted the two military horses who were dissatisfied with Han Xuan to military marquis, and then replaced the positions of these two military horses with his cronies, confident that he was now able to fully control this army, so he was relieved.
"Hehe, Ben will know that you still have people who are not convinced, but Ben will not blame you, after three days, Ben will lead you to victory, you will know Ben Jiang's great talent, see if you are still convinced by then?"
Han Xuan ordered the five military commanders in the army to act immediately, each dispatched his army, and set up an ambush at the city gate in advance three days later.
Time passed like flowing water, and the three-day period came soon, Han Xuan made a deployment, and then came to the south city gate, raised his eyes and looked at the night sky, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"If Liu Qi's army doesn't come, this time I'm afraid that the military power that the general has just held for three days will be handed over to Du Xi again, if that's the case, how unwilling should people be?" Han Xuan shook his head and thought secretly.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a horse galloping from the city, saying that it was a scout sent out by Han Xuan, and there was heavy news.
When Han Xuan heard this, his heart suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate and let this person in.
But seeing that the scout hurriedly went up to the city tower, he said to Han Xuan: "The general is clever, Liu Qi's army has really come to attack the city, and now Liu Qi's army is less than ten miles away from us." ”
Han Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately appointed this scout as Dubo, and then secretly issued orders, ordering everyone to be ready to ambush the enemy army at any time.
Han Xuan waited anxiously for nearly half an hour, and finally saw a large group of soldiers and horses coming to the city gate. Han Xuan looked down and saw that the army was under the banner of Liu Qi, and there was a young and handsome general in front of him, riding a white horse, wearing silver armor, and holding a sword in his hand, who was it not Liu Qi?
Han Xuan saw that Liu Qi really attacked the city according to the agreement, so he was completely relieved, and said secretly: "Du Zixu, Du Zixu, I really didn't expect you to really collaborate with the enemy, so don't blame Ben Jiang for not helping you, it's really your own death, and it has nothing to do with Ben Jiang." Hehe, Du Xian's death, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city are all my Han Xuan's, and after repelling Liu Qi, I will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court because of my great merit, at least it should be a county guard, right? Han Xuan, who was very excited, was excited in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the city to raise fire.
A moment later, Han Xuan's left and right flanks were ambushed and launched an attack on the army under the city.
"It's not good, we have been ambushed by the enemy, and everyone quickly retreats." I only heard a loud roar from the city, and then I saw Liu Qi's army retreating in a panic.
"Kill, you must capture Liu Qi alive, whoever captures Liu Qi will directly make you the military commander, and whoever catches the enemy's general will be named the military marquis." Han Xuan shouted on the city tower, his blood boiling, and he wished that he could also participate in the battle in person, capture the enemy general Liu Qi alive, and establish a miraculous feat.
Han Xuan watched Liu Qi's army retreat like a tide, leaving behind countless armor and armor, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.
But then he was dumbfounded, because after the opponent's army was ambushed, he didn't stop for a moment at all, he dropped his ordnance and weapons and fled, his own army only cared about grabbing ordnance and armor, and didn't care about chasing and killing the enemy, so the guide lost the fighter plane and let the enemy flee back.
"Alas, these sergeants are really useless, they don't even want to chase and kill the enemy, although the army of Liu Qi was defeated, the loss of the soldiers is not much, but fortunately, our army has won the victory, and has obtained so many materials, this battle will definitely boost our morale, and more importantly, this battle is enough to prove that Du Raid is indeed colluding with Liu Qi, this guy is really hidden deep enough, if it weren't for the enemy sending the wrong letter, it is estimated that at this time I and Lord Taishou have already become ghosts under the knife."
Thinking of this, the greetings couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.
Seeing the truckloads of materials being transported to the city, Han Xuan smiled happily, and immediately ordered someone to transport these materials to the Taishou Mansion, and personally went to the Taishou Mansion to report the good news.
Let's say that Huanjie heard that Liu Qi really attacked the city at night, and was ambushed by Han Xuan, and returned defeated, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said secretly: "How can Du Zixu be like this? Alas, it seems that I have seen the wrong person. ”
After finishing speaking, Huan Jie wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Du Xi.
And said that Du Xian couldn't sleep at home, he heard the shouting and killing outside the city, and knew that he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into Xiangshui this time, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect Liu Qi to design to harm me like this, I'm afraid this time don't say it's Zhang Taishou, even if it's Zhiru Huan Boxu, I'm afraid it's hard to believe me again this time." ”
At this moment, Du Raid suddenly saw a report from his family, saying that it was Huan Jie's person who sent him a letter, Du Raid's heart couldn't help but sink, knowing that he might not be trusted again this time.
When he opened the letter, Du Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly, because the seven words "Break off friendship with Du Zixu" were written on the cover of the letter.
Du Xi put the letter aside, he didn't read it anymore at all, he didn't need to read the content anymore, he also knew what was going on.
The commotion outside the city gate soon subsided, and a group of soldiers passed by the gate, and some of them were still laughing, and the laughter was very clear in the night.
"I didn't expect Han Xuan to really win a big victory, but there must be a deception in this, because I didn't collaborate with the enemy, Liu Qi couldn't make an appointment to attack the city without making sure that he surrendered, I can only say that there is a big conspiracy brewing in it. I should remind Lord Taishou,"
After thinking about it, Du Xian wrote a letter to remind Zhang Xian to be careful of Liu Qi's tricks, and put forward his guess to Zhang Xian: Today's victory of the Changsha army should be due to Liu Qi's conspiracy, maybe Liu Qi was deliberately defeated, the army did not leave too far, and Liu Qi may attack again tonight.
Unexpectedly, after this letter was sent, Zhang Xian just read two sentences and threw it aside, and after Han Xuan read it, he also laughed at Du Xian's chest, and he was jealous of his achievements today, and said that a good victory was a conspiracy of the enemy army.
Du Xun waited for half an hour, and when he saw that the letter he sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, he couldn't help but be extremely disappointed, and sighed softly: "I'm afraid that this time Linxiang City is more than lucky, it's not that I, Du Xian, can't do my best, it's really Liu Qi's little tricks, and Lord Taishou can't trust me." ”
At this moment, a family member suddenly stepped forward to report: "General, there is a scribe outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he is a friend of the general's fellow villagers." ”
Du Xun said with a smile: "I know it must be Yingchuan Fan Huber, you go and tell him, I won't see him." ”
Unexpectedly, there were footsteps outside the door, and then I saw a scribe with several sergeants come directly to the room, and said with a smile: "The old man is visiting, why did Zixu avoid it?" ”
Du Xun glanced at Fanqin and praised lightly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Huber Yinghua is introverted and calm, and he is no longer the frivolous Fanqin he was at the beginning, I don't know how you led many sergeants to sneak into my Linxiang City?" ”
"Hehe, if you talk about the way to enter the city, Zixu will definitely not believe it, because we entered the city in a grand manner. In fact, this is thanks to Zixu. Repatriated Zixu led the army to rob the camp, we captured the sergeant of Zixu's army, today we changed into your army clothes, and then took advantage of the ambush of Han Xuan tonight, directly mixed into the army, and then entered the city like this. ”
Fanqin paused slightly, a respectful look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "The reason why I, Fanqin, can have today is all due to the cultivation of the eldest prince of Jingzhou and General Fenwu. Zixu, the Ming people don't say dark words, the reason why I entered the city this time is to persuade you to surrender to my general. My general is eloquent and strategic, corporal Lixian, humble and magnificent, he is really a rare master, in my opinion, even compared to Cao Gong, I am afraid that it can be slightly better. Zixu has a genius, how can he do things under a mediocre talent like Zhang Xian? If Zhang Xian relies on you, it's just that, but this person obviously doesn't trust you, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the master and do things, even my talent can get the position of Gongcao, with your talent, you will be able to soar for nine days in the future. ”
Du Xi sighed and said slowly: "This qiē is not because of Zhang Taishou, the main thing is that your general's means are too strong, and he actually forcibly separated the relationship between me and Lord Taishou, and now even Huan Boxu doesn't trust me, which is really helpless." ”
Fanqin said with a smile: "Although my general's means are strong, your Zhang Taishou is suspicious and has no opinions, this is actually the root cause, if you change to my general, there will never be such a thing." Zixu, do you know how down-to-earth and uplifting people can feel when doing things under the command of the Ming Lord? By the way, there is another thing I forgot to tell you, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Chexuan has been killed by the left general Liu Bei, and it is impossible for your reinforcements to come, so you are now defeated. What's more, our army has already infiltrated the city with hundreds of people tonight, and we can open the city gates tonight and let our army enter the city. ”
Fanqin was not in a hurry, and waited slowly for a while, then saw Du Raid sigh: "If I am not disloyal, I am too suspicious of Lord Shou and refuse to use my strategy, okay, in this case, I promise to surrender to General Fenwu, I don't know what Huber wants me to do?" ”
