Chapter 155: The Heart Fire Transmitted by the Secret Letter
"The king commanded the general to quickly find out the current situation and come up with a countermeasure. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The minister's voice trembled slightly.
It's no wonder that the movement of the Zhao army outside is too big, even if you don't attack the city, but your enemy is dangling in front of you with a knife, you have to be on guard.
Otherwise, they will also find something to knock the other party down first. But now in the middle of the night, if you rush to send troops, you can only win a disastrous victory or even defeat in the end.
The arm that trembled because of the excessive force had already made the sand table shake a little.
"Please go back and report to your lord first, just say that the Zhao army is just bluffing, and has no intention of attacking the city, and it is just intended to fatigue our army. Please also rest in peace, tomorrow the Japanese general will capture the chief general of the Zhao army. Turning his head to look at the minister, Wu Ming said expressionlessly.
"But, now that Zhao Jun is making such a fuss, the people in the city are already panicking, and I am afraid that the king will not be able to sleep well!" The minister hesitated to say something more.
But unexpectedly, Wu Ming directly interrupted his words, "You can go back to the Ming monarch first, the pacification of the people in the city is the responsibility of the general, I am afraid that your monarch should not worry." β
"Okayβ" The minister slowly shook his head and sighed softly, "Now that's all I can do, and I ask the general to try to lift the siege of Daliang as soon as possible." β
After saying that, the minister took his leave. Turn and leave.
At this time, Chen Ji walked to Wu Ming's side and asked suspiciously, "General, what should I do now?" β
Listening to the questioning voice, Wu Ming could only say in a deep voice after thinking for a while: "You quickly bring some people to Daliang City to appease the people, just say that Zhao Jun is just bluffing, in order to make us panic." The city of Daliang is high and the pool is deep, and it is impossible for the Zhao people to break the city. In addition, let everyone try not to go out of the city for these two days. Pacify the people first, and then figure out the rest in the future. β
"The last will obey." Chen Ji gave up his hand and then turned around and left.
At this time, Wu Ming quickly climbed the city tower, stood on the north city wall and looked out, the originally dark open space had been illuminated by the torches lit by the Zhao army, and in front of the six neat phalanxes of the Zhao army, six large war drums were beaten by several soldiers in turn, and the sound never stopped for a moment.
With the earth-shattering drums, the Zhao soldiers of the six phalanxes were all practicing neatly, and Zhao Yuan stood on a high platform, sometimes picking up the flag and waving it a few times with the atmosphere, and sometimes turning around and looking in the direction of Liang Yu.
Among the 30,000 Zhao troops, there are no ladders, and there is no shadow of hitting the wood, it can be said with certainty that they did not come here to attack the city, but only to harass and make Daliang City fall into panic and panic.
From the time the Zhao army entered the territory of Wei, the Zhao army's marching strategy was the most recognized by Wu Ming. Relying on the strength of the crowd. If you don't go out of the city to fight, I will harass you outside the city day and night, and this kind of thing is really disgusting under certain circumstances.
In the sky, the stars shifted, and another half an hour passed. But at this moment, Zhao Jun is still practicing like before, and he can't show any fatigue.
Through the darkness, Wu Ming vaguely saw a soldier of the Zhao army galloping towards him on a fast horse.
But the man stopped fifty paces away, and the soldier on horseback took his bow from his back and mounted his arrow.
With a whistling sound, the arrow pierced the sky and landed ten paces below the city gate.
Then, the soldier put away his bow and shouted loudly to the castle tower: "On the order of General Zhao of our army, I would like to take this opportunity to thank General Wu for his kindness to General Wu through Fengcheng, and I specially present a secret letter to General Wu, I hope General Wu will be satisfied after reading it." β
With that faint voice, it was obvious that the Zhao army soldier had already turned his horse's head and ran back towards the Zhao army's camp.
After a while, the city gate slowly opened, and a soldier ran out to pick up the arrow along with the secret letter, turned around and rushed up to the city tower, and gave Wu Ming the things together.
"General." The soldier stooped down, holding the arrow and the secret letter in his hand.
Wu Ming glanced at it lightly, and then picked up the secret letter and opened it to read it.
"I heard that General Wu offered a plan to defeat the Korean army in Yicheng, your country, and went deep into the barren people to unknowingly collect the Han land Xincheng in his hands. Zhao Yuan admired such a result. In the first battle, before the two armies met, General Wu gave up Jingfeng City on his own, such a generous act, Zhao Yuan really admired. thinks that General Wu should be a great talent, but in recent days, General Wu is just a cunning and treacherous villain. However, even more, tonight Zhao Yuan has seen what a shrunken turtle is. I don't have the courage to go out of the city to fight, and I can be regarded as a general. β
The whole secret letter was ridiculed by Wu Ming from beginning to end, and it could be seen that Zhao Yuan was still very annoyed in his heart. And he is eager to fight with Wu Ming outside.
"Hehe-" A sneer erupted from the corner of his mouth, and Wu Ming folded the secret letter he had done and stuffed it into his battle armor. At the same time, he turned to the soldier with the arrow and said: "Since the secret letter is written to the general, the general will also accept it, and you can look at and deal with this arrow yourself." β
"Yes." After the soldier had passed, he walked down the castle tower with arrows.
At this time, Jin Yan hurriedly walked up and said loudly in front of Wu Ming: "General, some of the soldiers asked to go out of the city to meet the enemy, are we ......?"
Sui Jin Yan didn't continue, but at this moment Wu Ming already understood what he meant, this kind of thing, if no one stood up and asked to fight, it would be abnormal: "Tell everyone, the purpose of Zhao Jun tonight is to lure us into battle, if we go out to meet the enemy at this time, then we will be in the full set of Zhao Jun, so we can't go tonight." Just keep the city open tonight. If you really want to fight, leave your strength for tomorrow dusk. β
"Yes." After listening to Wu Ming's words, Jin Yan turned around and wanted to leave after hesitating slightly.
But at this time, Wu Ming turned around and stopped him, "After informing me of the matter, you can wait for me in the main hall quickly, there are some things to discuss with you." β
"Yes."
Jin Yan left first after he passed. Wu Ming also glanced out again when he walked towards the staircase, and said to the thousand generals guarding the city tonight: "Keep an eye on it, even if the Zhao army evacuates, don't take it lightly." β
"My subordinates know." Looking at Wu Ming, the thousand people nodded and replied lightly.
β¦β¦
In a short time, in the main hall. Wu Ming lay on the edge of the map again. Those eyes were already fixed on a mountain forest about ten miles west of Daliang City.
Judging from the labeling of the sand table, the terrain here should be a little broken. Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that there are woods here.
Just when Wu Ming wanted to find someone to ask who made this sand table, Jin Yan happened to walk in at this time, "I've seen the general." β
"You came just in time," Wu Mingzhi at this time ignored so much, and directly put his hand on his shoulder, "Come, look at this position." Are you sure there are woods here? And when did this sand table come out? β
I don't know why, Wu Ming's mood was a little excited at this time, and his actions were a little more exaggerated than usual, as for the cumbersome etiquette of this era, he almost omitted it, and the politeness was just according to some standards of later generations.
"This, this sand table was only made half a month ago," maybe it was because of Wu Ming's sudden change, Jin Yan at this time was a little overwhelmed when he spoke, but it was only for a while, "This thing is what the king meant, and the terrain marked on it has been specially explored, so there will be no mistake." β
Naturally, he was very suspicious of what Wu Ming was going to do, but Jin Yan still said everything he knew.
"That's good," looking at that place, Wu Ming seemed to have succeeded in his conspiracy, and said with a slightly aggravated wheezing: "Hehe, next, there is one more thing to bother the general to run." β
"The general is polite, what is the use of the last general, the general can just give orders." Jin Yan immediately bowed to the side and clenched his fists.
"I have already asked General Zhang Meng to go and inform the 5,000 soldiers drawn from Xincheng to come to Daliang to support, but now the situation has changed, and the general needs to make another trip. Let the five thousand soldiers be made to rush to this woods at noon to-morrow, and hide themselves near the eastern edge of the woods. How to do it when the time comes, Ben will have his own arrangements. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the woods, Wu Ming opened his eyes wide and looked at Jin Yan tightly: "Remember, all actions must be secretive, and they must be fast enough." β
"The last general knows, please rest assured, the last general in that area is well known, and there will be no mistakes." With the sound of a trembling armor, Jin Yan was already a heavy fist, "The last general will leave." β
"Well, take a few people with you, and be careful on the way." The slight arch of his hand was counted as a farewell, and then Wu Ming casually admonished.
β¦β¦
At this time, it had been less than an hour since the Zhao soldiers who had come to shoot arrows and deliver the secret letter returned.
In the phalanx of the Zhao army, Zhao Yuan, who was resting cross-legged on a stone, glanced at a soldier on the high platform. Seeing that the soldier was still motionless, Zhao Yuan didn't know why, and a nameless anger surged into his heart.
After spitting out, Zhao Yuan stood up abruptly and strode towards the high platform.
"General."
The guards on both sides bowed to him, but Zhao Yuan completely ignored him, and just strode up the spiraling staircase to the top.
"General." The three soldiers on the high platform saluted Zhao Yuan.
But Zhao Yuan only looked at one of them, and asked reluctantly: "Why, is there no movement in the Wei army for such a long time?" β
The voice clearly showed that Zhao Yuan was already angry.
"No, except for most of the soldiers who climbed the city tower at the beginning, except for the soldiers who were originally keeping vigil for the rest of the time, only a few people stayed on the city tower, and they should be the generals in the Wei army."
The one who spoke was the soldier standing in the middle of the high platform who was ordered to observe the movement on the tower of the Wei army. This person doesn't look big, because Zhao Yuan's eyesight is not good, even if he stands on a high platform and looks at it, he can't really see it. So Zhao Yuan also found a young, eye-sighted soldier to wait for him to watch.
In Zhao Yuan's opinion, with a secret letter of his own, Wu Ming should not be able to bear it, even if Wu Ming can endure it. According to the inference of the two people at the beginning and Zhao Yong, King Wei should not be able to sit still.
But more than an hour has passed, but the Wei army has not made much movement, which can't help but make Zhao Yuan a little annoyed.
"Could it be that this guy is really a fucking shrunken turtle?" Lowering his head, Zhao Yuan opened his mouth and muttered to himself fiercely, and then said viciously to the soldier: "Keep an eye on it, as soon as the Wei army has a movement, you will immediately come to inform the general." β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
In the court of Wei, outside the curtain, after the ministers slowly reported to King Wei Hui, they respectfully waited outside and did not say a word.
After an unbearable silence, King Wei Hui's voice finally came from inside the curtain, "He, really said that?" β
"Back to the king," although King Wei Hui couldn't see anything, the ministers outside the curtain were still bowed: "All the words of the little one are the original words of the great general." β
Hearing this, King Wei Hui in the curtain sat on the edge of the couch in a daze, thinking about something, and did not speak or move for a long time.
β¦β¦
The next day, in the court.
All the courtiers dragged their tired faces and tired bodies. One by one, they couldn't stop yawning.
But after all, they still have to come earlier than King Wei Hui, no matter what happened last night, they must always fulfill the heart of a courtier.
However, half an hour has passed since the arrival of King Wei Hui, but the arrival of King Wei Hui is still nowhere to be seen. King Sui Hui is not a virtuous king, but then again, he has never ignored the government.
At this time, in the dormitory, King Wei Hui was still leaning on the side of the couch and thinking quietly.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers in the palace have begun to make noise. Do you think it's time toβ"
He didn't say anything, but how could King Wei Hui not know that he was saying that he should go to court.
As the voice slowly drifted away for a long time, King Wei Hui still didn't speak.
It wasn't until the ministers outside the door began to feel panicked that he heard the voice of King Wei Hui, "Don't go, prepare fishing gear for the widow by the clear pond in the back garden." In addition, go to the court and upload the widow's edict ......"
Another half an hour passed, and the courtiers in the palace were probably tired, and King Wei Hui was not there, so everyone had moved in a small area to relieve the fatigue on their legs.
At this time, the ministers serving King Hui hurriedly rushed to the lower level of the high platform, and in the face of the courtiers, he shouted loudly: "Spread the king's message." β
That voice roared out, and the courtiers below were suddenly quiet, and they all bowed down and waited for the edict.
"The water in the clear pond has recently opened, and the fish in the pond last night were enthusiastic and fat. The widow is on a whim, so he fishes in the clear pond, and specially orders you Aiqing to rest in the court, and at noon the widow is willing to eat the fishing fish and eat with you. β
