Chapter 139: Tongue War
(a)
The drums beat and the Han army set off. The army went all the way to Liaoyuan, thirty miles away from the city and went down to the village.
When I got off the village, I received a message from the Liaoyuan Donghu defenders, saying that they wanted to negotiate with the Han army under the city.
Fang Zhenhai smiled.
Looks like he's got an opponent. The Liaoyuan defenders did not say a word in the face of persuasion to surrender for several days, nor did they agree or disagree, and as soon as the Han army arrived, they immediately wanted to negotiate. He immediately inquired about the name of the Liaoyuan guard, and learned that this person was the commander of Wan, named Abri. It is said that this person was originally a scholar, although he was a man, he was feminine by nature, and he was an outlier among the Donghu people.
"Let's go meet this Abri for a while." Fang Zhenhai said lightly. Then the point will be platooned.
Princess Nina is naturally going to go, such a military event, the prince also has to be present, although this prince is actually better at making trouble than negotiating, but he is the special envoy of this kind of negotiation, and he has to bring it anyway. In addition, he had to bring guards, but the number of people should not be too many, otherwise it would seem to be overwhelming people, but it should not be too small, otherwise it might be dangerous, so he simply ordered five thousand people, and ordered Wei Changfeng to protect Nina. With the sword in Wei Changfeng's hand, Princess Nina will be much safer.
The group left the camp and arrived at the city of Liaoyuan. Under the city of Liaoyuan, Abri was already waiting with a few guards, except for a few limited guards, there were no other soldiers to protect him.
Fang Zhenhai immediately stopped the five thousand soldiers, and only moved forward with Princess Nina, the princess, Wei Changfeng, and fifty soldiers.
The two teams were close to each other, and Abri took the lead and immediately saluted: "I have heard the name of General Fang for a long time, like thunder, and when I saw it today, it was really powerful." ”
Fang Zhenhai was stunned, this Abury was really full of bookishness, and this Chinese was really perfect. He had no choice but to return the salute: "Don't dare to be." General Abri was young and promising, and sure enough. He wanted to say that General Abri was also powerful, but Abri spoke softly and softly, and listened to the whole woman with his eyes closed, but the word "prestige" was impossible to talk about, so he had to say "Sure enough".
Abri smiled softly, and said slowly: "I have already received an invitation from General Fang to hunt together, but the matter is very important, and I really dare not be arbitrary." I've been discussing with my subordinates for the past few days, and I'm really in a dilemma. ”
Fang Zhenhai was stunned for a moment before he reacted, that co-hunter refers to hunting together, in place of the unpleasant persuasion. This General Abri is really a big showman.
He really didn't want to make these sour statements again, not that he wouldn't say them, but this thing really sounded uncomfortable, so he replied directly: "Since it's been a few days, what decision does General Abri have?" ”
Abri sighed, shook his head and said: "It's hard to reconcile, everyone's minds are different, although I am the lord of the city, I don't dare to go against the will of the people, and I also ask General Fang to give a few more days, so that I can discuss it with my subordinates." ”
Fang Zhenhai snorted, thinking about it? Planning to negotiate until the Year of the Monkey? If it drags on like this, I am afraid that the recruits in Donghu have been trained, and the discussion will not end when the troops are sent. He replied decisively: "For the way of the general, the decision to kill, if General Abri has the courage, the commander promises to be kind to the general and the Donghu soldiers, if General Abri must repeatedly deliberate, I am afraid that the commander will not be able to wait." ”
Abri didn't answer this time, but looked at Nina.
Seeing Abri's eyes, Nina sighed lightly and said, "Urian is dead, he was killed by the people of the Geya tribe, and our Quguo tribe always wants revenge." ”
Abri chuckled lightly and replied lightly: "Princess Nina, as far as I know, it was Captain Agwan who killed King Xiaoxian, and his murder had a lot to do with the princess. This is a personal feud rather than a tribal dispute. Moreover, even if it is a tribal dispute, it should not be used as a foreign enemy to gain self-respect. The Han people have a saying that they lure wolves into the house, and Princess Nina is afraid that she will have to think about it. ”
Nina's face flushed. She didn't have anything to do with Abri before, she hadn't heard of this person, she thought that this time she was close to the princess, even if Abri didn't agree to surrender, she would respect her in face, but she didn't think that this Abri spoke softly, but the words he said were extremely hard, and every sentence was reasonable, not refutable, and it was difficult to say for a while.
The prince next to him saw that this Chief Hu was talking endlessly with Fang Zhenhai, and ridiculed Princess Nina, it was a good time to support Princess Nina and curry favor with her, so he shouted: "Why talk so much nonsense? Whether it is down or not, one sentence is decided! Surrender as soon as possible, you can avoid death, if you don't surrender, my heavenly soldiers are so big, and when the time comes, I will call you chickens and dogs not to stay! ”
Abri smiled indifferently and replied: "This father-in-law, the people in this city are all you Han Chinese, and there are no chickens and dogs, isn't it a bit excessive?" ”
Wang Gonggong didn't expect that his idiom would be distorted by Abri, not only admiring Abri's proficiency in Chinese, but also embarrassed to fight back without words, and couldn't help blushing.
(2) Fang Zhenhai saw that this Abri was sharp-tongued, had the strength of a tongue to fight a group of Confucians, and was extremely proficient in the way of the Han people, and guessed that he was a eunuch just by virtue of a sentence from the prince, and knew that the Tao of Lu was to be called a father-in-law, and then he was afraid that it would not be a moment and a half to fight for words, so he said sharply at the moment: "The two armies are fighting, fighting for swords, not tongues, General Abri, today's matter, we are not here to sit and talk about it, whether it is surrender or war, and ask General Abri to decide in a word." ”
Abri sighed and replied, "General Fang, you have a heart but a powerless position. If you ask what you think, you want to descend below, and the situation is like this, and there is no way to do it. But what's the use of the next person opening the city and surrendering? If you can give the next three days, you can try to persuade your subordinates to surrender. ”
Wei Changfeng listened to the conversation of several people on the side, and saw Abri's eyes flickering, although the words were good, but in fact, he didn't promise anything, just vaguely said to try again, he had already guessed Abri's thoughts in his heart, he saw that Fang Zhenhai's face sank and he was about to open his mouth to refuse, and hurriedly interjected: "General Fang, with the intention of the last general, I will give the last three days of the time limit, we can still afford to wait for three days, although we can attack, but after all, there is more bloodshed, wait for another three days, if they still hesitate, Then we can meet each other and no longer listen to his explanations. ”
Fang Zhenhai looked at Wei Changfeng with some surprise.
The commander discussed the military plan, but his subordinates interjected, which was already a rare thing, and Wei Changfeng actually advocated giving the Donghu people another three days of time limit, which surprised him even more. However, after he was surprised, he did not reprimand Wei Changfeng, but pondered for a moment, and said to Abri: "Okay, I will give you three days, this is the last three days, you can't come and surrender within three days, Ben Shuai will not come to entangle with you in a war of words, and then we will meet each other." ”
Abri arched his hand and replied, "Thank you General Fang, and thank you to this tooth general." Then he turned to Nina and said, "The princess is safe, I am responsible for guarding the city, and I can't send it off." Then he nodded to the princess and said, "I hope that my father-in-law will take care of the princess more, and I am deeply grateful." ”
He greeted everyone one by one, and then circled the horse back.
Wei Changfeng secretly admired this feminine man in his heart. This person is really smart, since he guessed that the prince is a eunuch, he also thought of why the eunuch is in the army, thinking that it is used to take care of women, where can ordinary women deserve such special treatment, and the one who can be treated like this is Princess Nina, so he directly asked the prince to take care of Nina.
Moreover, in the face of Princess Nina, this person did not pretend to say anything about her reluctance, but when he parted, he said goodbye with courtesy, this kind of scheming, this kind of practice, is much stronger than Urian and Gru. Fortunately, this person is not the commander of the Donghu army, otherwise the Han army is afraid that it will be hindered more. It seems that the Donghu people, like the Han people, are also people who have talents but do not meet them.
They did not speak on the way back to the camp. Fang Zhenhai has something to ask Wei Changfeng, but in front of Nina and the princess, this can't be asked, Nina wants to talk to Wei Changfeng about Li Qianyue, but in front of everyone, he can't say it, the prince wants to please Nina more, but in front of Wei Changfeng and Fang Zhenhai, it is inconvenient, as a result, he returned to the camp in silence all the way.
Nina and the Maharaja resigned. Before the two left, Wei Changfeng immediately saluted Fang Zhenhai: "General Fang, General Fang is rude." ”
Fang Zhenhai smiled and replied, "If there is no special reason, you will not do this." Please say it. ”
Wei Changfeng nodded, of course he guessed that General Fang would say this, so he was not polite, and said directly: "In the opinion of the last general, this Abri doesn't want to surrender at all, he just wants to delay time." ”
Fang Zhenhai snorted. He understands this very well, and he agrees with Wei Changfeng, but what he doesn't understand very clearly now is why Wei Changfeng wants to advocate giving the other party three days. Do you want to make a promise in the open and make a night attack in the dark?
Wei Changfeng continued: "The last general thinks that if he is not given time, he is in a hurry, this person can only defend to the death, if he is given time, this person will relax a little, we might as well prepare for the night ......"
"This must not be!" Fang Zhenhai listened to Wei Changfeng's words, it was really a night attack, and hurriedly said.
Wei Changfeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why not?" The last general does not understand. ”
Fang Zhenhai didn't understand it even more. Such a simple truth, Wei Changfeng can't figure it out?
"If a person has no faith, he does not know what he can do, and if he has no faith, he will not stand." Fang Zhenhai replied quoting scriptures. The meaning is very clear, since he promised to give the Donghu people three days, how can he disobey the yang and the yin, turn around and attack at night? Even if you win in this way, your reputation will be damaged, and who will believe it if you speak in the future?
Wei Changfeng smiled: "General Fang, the last general admires General Fang's character very much, but it will not be us who will lose faith this time." ”
Fang Zhenhai looked at Wei Changfeng.
He was waiting for Wei Changfeng to explain.
