Chapter 50, the Huns send troops
(5000+ again, ask for a subscription at the end of the month!) ~οΌ
The inspector is also a temporary position, which is to supervise the defense of Pingding City, whether it is from the soldiers guarding the city gates, to the soldiers on the city tower, or even the patrol soldiers in the city, they are all within the scope of his supervision.
But in fact, these Hun soldiers don't pay much attention to it, they are all yin and yang, although in their hearts they are angry about the appearance of Lu Bujun and their actions against those Huns, but after all, they have not faced it personally, there is still a kind of laxity that is still too far away from themselves, if they usually shout, it is just that, to them to change the habits that have been the same for decades.
These Hun soldiers who checked at the gate of the city were quite serious, and when talking to the bearded merchant, the other companions would go over to check whether the bearded merchant's car was really the goods, of course, it was not very detailed, and after a rough look at the first few cars, they let it go directly, and then the money was in hand, and they were naturally released.
The Hun soldier instructed a few more words, and the bearded merchant just nodded his head when he heard it, and then turned back to his subordinates and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, go back a little slower, and you will suffer ......."
Naturally, the people below would not respond, and they only knew how to bury their heads and push their own cars into the city.
At first, I didn't think that after a while, the convoy was not finished, and the Hun soldiers felt that something was wrong, so they quickly stopped one of the cars, looked at the bearded merchant with a gloomy face, and said: "There are too many things this time, even if all the things in the city want your things, there are not so many places to put them." β
The bearded merchant turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about, it's not the first day you know me Lao Zhang, are you still afraid that I won't be able to cheat you?" As for the fact that there are a lot of goods this time, I can't hide that this time I will ship all the things in the next few months, hoard them first, and sell them slowly. β
The Hun soldier frowned, looked at the bearded merchant, and then turned his head to look at the caravan that had stopped after he stopped him. The coolies with carts and the shouting servants were all looking at him. Cowering, no matter how you look at it, you can't see anything strange.
After thinking about it, he looked back at the three companions, and they all shook their heads, so he waved his hand again impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry over......"
The bearded merchant nodded and said, "Of course, of course...... then turned around and continued to shout and scold his men, while the four Hun soldiers gathered together and whispered something. But the eye still notices this side from time to time.
It wasn't anything wrong with it, but it didn't hurt to take a closer look, not that they were so conscientious, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the bearded merchant for a bribe at such a time in the present; It's just that although they said that they didn't care and didn't care about the Han army, the news of the death of those tribesmen that came one after another still made them feel a little jealous in the depths of their hearts. Maybe the verbal indifference is just to comfort yourself.
The convoy finally finished walking, there was no further fork in the middle, the bearded merchant breathed a sigh of relief, he was delayed, the caravan was finished before following into the city, turned around and said hello to the four Hun soldiers again, the four seemed to be relieved, and watched the bearded merchant swing into the city.
One of them looked at the back and suddenly said, "Hey." Bareheaded. Do you ever find this bearded walking posture a little strange, as if it wasn't like this before? β
The other waved his hand and said, "I've already gone in, what do you want to do so much." Anyway, it doesn't matter what we do, let's think about who to find to warm the bed tonight......"
"Hahaha......" Before the discussion began, the four of them let out a lewd laugh together.
Half an hour later, the convoy of bearded merchants on that side walked slowly, kicking and dragging and finally stopped at their destination, but it was next to a large mansion in the south of this Pingding City.
At this time, someone at the door has already come out to greet him, in fact, this big mansion is the base of the bearded merchant in this Pingzhou City, the reason why he bought such a big one is also to hoard the goods when they come, there is a large empty space in the backyard, of course, the front yard and the wing room are inhabited, this place is used for rest in addition to the way to hoard, but also to satisfy his vanity.
It's also, no matter who has money and opportunities these days, they all have to buy land and houses, especially if these businessmen buy land and houses just to satisfy their vanity, because many times a house may represent a person's identity, of course, in the Central Plains, the hierarchy is strict and the businessmen are discriminated against and suppressed, even if you like a big house, you can't buy it indiscriminately, there are regulations, but there are not so many things to pay attention to in the Xiongnu here, as long as you have money, As long as you can bring benefits to the Huns, you can buy as big a house as you want, and no one will care.
The bearded merchant first asked people to lead the convoy to the backyard, where the place was large and spacious and open and flat, enough for their grandfathers to toss, and they must have arranged the rest of the things themselves, but he ran to the master's own room by himself, and then closed the door, and the whole person leaned directly on the couch, and gasped for a few breaths before sitting up.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the bearded merchant actually pulled up his trouser legs, and in the process he kept "sizzling" and inhaling cold air in his mouth, until he pulled all his trouser legs up to his knees, and he could see that there was actually a wound on his calf that extended diagonally downward along his leg and stomach from near the joint, and it seemed that he had not even done some simple bandaging, and at this time the blood was still gushing out, so that he was still crying out in pain while cold sweat had begun to break out on his forehead.
After all, he also came from hardship, and the people who could come to the Huns to take risks here were not mortals, so he gritted his teeth and endured the pain first, and then found a medicine box from the side of the couch, after all, it was a person who traveled south and north, and it was normal to have such a thing ready, and then he took out a bottle of something that seemed to be medicine powder, and sprinkled it evenly on the wound on his calf, and then tore off a piece of silk to bandage it simply, It seems that doing this qiΔ is so familiar.
Finally, after finishing this qiΔ, the bearded merchant who was already busy sweating profusely lay down on the couch with his eyes closed and panting, when he suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door.
He was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously thought that Mo was not the person he brought back, and he didn't dare to slack off on this, while asking "who is it", he hurriedly rolled down his trouser leg to cover the wound, and didn't care about the pain caused by the inadvertent touch, and directly dragged the injured leg and trotted over to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was the housekeeper of my own house. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" β
The housekeeper said, "Master's house...... Isn't this the people in the backyard? They restrained all the people in the house, and then asked to see the master's house by name, and the old slave had to come and find you......"
The bearded businessman couldn't help but have a headache, thinking to himself why he was so unlucky, but it was so difficult to make some money to make a living in troubled times if he wanted to do a good business.
This is really a troubled time, the Han people are like this to the Han people themselves, so it is no wonder that the Huns are always thinking about invading the Central Plains. If you are single-minded, relying on the power of a strong man, how dare you make a mistake on the side of the Huns.
remembered that at that time, he just didn't agree to help them, so he slashed on his calf, and he thought that the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him to help this trip, so I didn't know what happened to me when I asked myself to go this time.
But in spite of his complaints and doubts, he followed the butler to the backyard, and the butler saw that his legs and feet were a little inadequate. When he asked him, he only said that he was injured by a fall on the road, after all, it was the master's family, and the housekeeper naturally didn't ask any questions.
The backyard of this big mansion is a mess at this time, the bearded merchant has not yet come, Wang Cheng and Ji Zhao are mobilizing and arranging their soldiers, but this courtyard is too crowded, everyone can't fit in it at all, and the convoy is far from advancing. Naturally, there are people hiding in the car. It was Wang Cheng and Ji Zhao who led the way to capture the city of Pingding this time.
The last time they dealt with the Black Mountain cavalry battalion, they had already had an experience, and the two of them were familiar with it this time. And the cooperation is quite tacit, this time if he wants to seize this Pingding City, Lu Bu plans to repeat his old tricks and let these two evils go out again.
Originally, they planned to make themselves a merchant to sneak in, but on the way, they just happened to meet the bearded merchant and his party, and it was best to have ready-made nature, and this bearded merchant looked like a regular customer of Pingding City, and it was not easy to arouse suspicion, so he directly hijacked this caravan and then coerced him to help them blend in.
Originally, the bearded man disagreed, but Wang Cheng thought about it, and believed that there was no one who was not afraid of punishment, only a punishment that was not ruthless enough, and he didn't know whether to say that the other party knew the times or that his bones were too soft, so he made a cut on his calf and stomach Wang Cheng felt that it was just a warning, but it achieved its goal.
After that, of course, it was the scene at the gate of the city, as for the reason why the Hun soldiers felt that something was wrong, most of them were aware that although these people in the caravan were dressed as subordinates, they invisibly exuded a bad aura on their bodies, which was obviously only available to the soldiers of a hundred battles, but they didn't dig deeper, so they let it go.
At this time, just after commanding the archers to take their bows and arrows, turning his head and seeing Wang Cheng's strange expression, Ji Zhao couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" β
Wang Cheng laughed in a low voice: "It's nothing, but I suddenly thought of the words I heard at the city gate before, I heard the Hun soldiers guarding the city gate before, you said that if you let him know that their Hun warriors and our Wenhou will also fight and die, but it is the Hun warriors who died, I don't know what will happen to him?" β
Ji Zhao said: "I thought I was dazzled......"
Wang Cheng let out a "poof", causing everyone to look at him, he quickly held back, and then gave Ji Zhao a thumbs up, which was also learned from Lu Bu, which means that you are strong!
β¦β¦
"Wen Hou is so relieved of these two people?" Cao Xuan looked at Ping Zhoucheng, who was still just a small black dot in his sight in the distance, and looked at Lu Bu in front of him with some puzzlement.
Lu Bu turned his head and smiled: "Not only to them, but also to Wen Yuan, to Shufu, to Zijin you, a certain is the same rest assured, the same trust......
Cao Xing swore and said: "Sex will never live up to Wen Hou's trust, and he will be willing to die for Wen Hou." β
Lu Budao: "You are a certain athlete, how can you be willing to let you die?" Then he turned his head back, looked ahead, and said lightly: "Let's go back to the tent and see what the military advisor says." β
Cao Xuan responded and turned around and walked back with him, and when he returned to the tent, Jia Xu seemed to have finished the sand table deduction.
The sand table is naturally Lu Bu's "first", and he asked Jia Xu to spread the scouts and spies along the way in addition to probing the enemy's intelligence, and of course the task of exploring the local terrain.
In this era, in fact, even the entire Han Dynasty did not have a complete map of its territory, not to mention that the land of Xihe had been occupied by the Xiongnu for a long time, and many places may have changed.
The advantage of using a sand table is that you can see the entire terrain more intuitively, based on the information reported by the exploration and then reorganized, and then use the sand to pile up a rudimentary local topographic map. For example, Jia Xu and others were not originally from Bingzhou. Even if Xihe must not have changed much from the original now, they don't know the specifics, even if Lu Bu and others explain and describe it in detail, it is not as intuitive and three-dimensional and profound as what they see visually.
And the sand table really made Jia Xu and Xun You feel that they couldn't put it down, because of this sand table, I'm afraid Xun You will have to change a lot of views on Lu Bu, and now the eyes looking at him seem to be faintly different.
Don't talk about this, Jia Xu saw Lu Bu coming in. Immediately stepped forward and said, "Wen Hou......"
"Well," Lu Bu nodded, "Judging from this sand table, what do you have in mind?" β
Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "Although the battle situation can be deduced with the sand table, we have no bottom on where the Huns will send troops from......
Lu Bu was silent. Although he scattered scouts everywhere, their scope of investigation was limited, and it was useless for him to capture the Huns to ask for news, because there was no movement on Shan Yuting's side, and Lu Bu in Yufu Luo didn't know what the situation was now.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated, but now he is in the dark, but Yu Fuluo and them cannot be regarded as in the light compared to themselves.
There was a long silence. Lu Bu asked again: "That's why Wen He asked me not to drive all the army into Pingding first." Just in case, just in case, first observe outside to see who is coming along the way? β
Jia Xu nodded. Immediately sighed again: "If you can know the news of Shan Yuting and Yu Fuluo, if there is something targeted, it will not be as troublesome as it is now." β
At this time, someone outside the tent came to report, "Wen Hou, someone outside the camp asked to see him, and he said that he brought important news to Wen Hou." β
Lu Bu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, both with puzzled faces, but Lu Bu still invited people in.
It was a young man in coarse linen clothes who came, and when he entered the tent and saw so many people, he seemed to be a little restrained, and then he saw Lu Bu sitting on the main seat, bowed, and then said: "This must be General Lu, I am on the order of my husband, I came to tell Wen Hou a good news." β
"Oh?" Lu Bu was puzzled, glanced at Jia Xu, but Jia Xu nodded, and then he came and asked, "Your husband, I don't know who it is?" β
"My husband is Mr. Liang." This young man took it for granted, but Lu Bu and the others looked at each other, and finally Lu Bu calmed down and asked, "Mr. Naliang sent you here to tell you something?" β
The young man smiled slightly, as if he had only regained a trace of calmness and calmness at this time, "Mr. Liang asked me to tell General SΓΉ that the Xiongnu Shan Yuting would not send troops, and the one who sent troops would only be Luan Ti Yufuluo." β
β¦β¦
Lu Bu's troops arrived in Pingding!
When Yuvro received this news, it was already two days after the fall of Pingding.
After all, it takes a certain amount of time to rush from Shuofang County to Xihe County, not to mention that he deliberately avoided Zhang Xiu, the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, and Shan Yuting.
But the speed of Lu Bu's army is still surprising, you must know that this is the territory of the Xiongnu after all, in the vast grassland, and there are few that kind of landmark buildings can be recognized, they are not familiar with life, how can they keep moving forward without worrying that they will get lost?
If that's just a question, then the rest is a problem.
Looking at the generals under the command of the tent, Yu Fuluo said: "The Han people are the best at sitting on a strong city, and then holding on to it, although this Pingzhou is not a city with dangerous terrain and high walls, but presumably these Han people will try their best to get out of the fortifications earlier, and I don't know what tricks there are, but I hate that the Pingzhou guards are too useless, and they can't even hold on for a few days." Hold on for a few days, our army arrived, with our Huns alone in the world's cavalry, if we fight in the plains, Lu Bu's army may not be able to hold out for even half a day. β
There was still a certain amount of regret in his words, but Hu Chuquan laughed instead, "Shan Yu I think this is not a good thing, just think about it, before we got close to that Lu Bu, he was so frightened that he led the army turtle into a city, what will those people in Shan Yuting think of Shan Yu?" They will surely regret why they didn't accept Shan Yu when he wanted to leave Hedong and go back, but now they are asking us to send troops. β
"King Zuo Xian means......" Yu Fuluo was rough but not stupid, and he heard the deep meaning of Hu Chuquan's words.
Hu Chuquan smiled: "I think there is no need for us to be in such a hurry to start a war with this Lu Bu. Lao Wang's condition is Lao Wang's condition, but why do we have to follow what he said, wouldn't it all fall into his rhythm? If we want to take the initiative in this game of chess, we must decide the timing of our troops by ourselves. β
Yu Furo clapped his hands and said, "It's exactly what I want!" In this case, let's move forward slowly, and then we will go to Guangyan County and Guluo City to think about ......" (to be continued.) )
PS: 5000+ every day for a whole month, I have to say that I am very tired, very tired, after all, I usually have to do things, not specifically writing this, and the harvest is not proportional to the pay, which is extremely frustrating. Of course, it is a matter of course that this book will be written until the end of the book, so many people have insisted on it in the past, but from next month, the update will return to the same rhythm as before, of course, try to be as stable as possible, and be more than that, but there must not be so much, now my neck often hurts, for a so-called "hobby" It's still not worth it, right, I would say that neck pain is the main reason? Haha then, that's it! ~
