(21) The plan is interlocking, and the suspicion is that the gap causes the wall
"General, you said there would be an ambush!" Li Kan followed Han Sui and said: "Since the beginning of the war, every time there is a vicious battle, Li Wenhou has sent our brothers forward, and even Yan Xing has been broken, if you hadn't had the foresight to let the last general gather the remnants of the army and strengthen the team, I am afraid that our Jincheng army would have been finished long ago." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Adjutant General Ma Ruan answered: "General, the brothers are talking about it now, and most of them don't want to continue fighting, so why bother to die for Li Wenhou?" “
Cheng Yin couldn't help but persuade: "It's the general, then Li Wenhou has always been angry because you secretly contained Cheng Yi of Chengjiazhai and the more than 10,000 soldiers under him, as well as the bandit Yang Qiu, the horse bandit candidate, Zhang Heng, to put it mildly, the brothers are privately rumoring that if it weren't for Li Wenhou's jealousy of the general's 40,000 army, he would have eaten our Jincheng army in one bite." Han Sui waved his hand and calmed the emotions of the soldiers and said, "Okay, now that the two armies are united, remember not to suspect each other." ”
While he was talking, the scout in front came to report: "Report to the general, the grain and grass camp of the Han army in Chengjiazhai suddenly caught fire, the fire is fierce and difficult to suppress, please go and check." "Oh? Isn't that weird? Han Sui was a little surprised: "Could it be that Li Wenhou also sent others to rob the camp?" Let's go, let's see! As he spoke, he urged the war horse to gallop away. The army behind him automatically followed, tightly guarding Han Sui.
"General Wentai, why didn't General Lu let me wait here to set up an ambush, but he wanted to burn his own grain and grass camp." Ma Chao wondered. Sun Jian smiled, turned to Ma Chao and said, "All our grain and grass have been transferred to the valley not far away, and my subordinate Cheng Puhan will be the guard, and we will take 20,000 people away at this time, and we will only have less than 1,000 people left." "Speaking of which, as long as you are not a fool, you will understand, relying on these more than 1,000 people to ambush is like sending them to death.
While he was talking, the pioneer Huang Gai hurried to report: "General, there are enemy troops forty miles ahead, the number is unknown, but I vaguely saw the Korean banner." "It's Han Suipifu!" When Ma Chao heard this, he was furious: "This husband killed my mother, and I don't share the sky with him." As he spoke, he was about to rush into battle to kill Han Sui, but fortunately, Huang Gai grabbed Ma Chao's arm and persuaded him, "General, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, don't destroy General Fenwei's plan on impulse!" Hearing Lu Bu's name, Ma Chao calmed down, took a few deep breaths, turned to the two and said, "It was Meng Qi who was impulsive and made amends to the two generals." Sun Jian stepped forward with satisfaction and patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and instructed him: "It is worthy of being a descendant of the Ma family, my Sun Jian is not wrong, but remember that you must do a decent job when you do a scene." ”
"Wow, it's really burning, but it looks like the enemy burned it themselves." Li Kan looked at the Han soldiers holding torches in the Chengjia village and said to Han Sui.
Han Sui frowned and said to himself, "Why did the enemy army burn their own grain and grass? Didn't you leak the news? Not good! As he was talking, countless torches suddenly flashed in the surrounding woods, and in an instant the sound of shouting and killing sounded, only to see Ma Chao Huang Gai each holding a weapon and following closely behind Sun Jian, in the night sky, Sun Jian, who was wearing a red curtain, looked particularly high-spirited, only to see him clasp his fists and said: "General Han, the battle of Weihe, don't come to harm?" ”
Han Sui replied with a smile: "General Mengsun remembers, everything is fine." "Not necessarily, right? If it's okay, why be forced into this ghost gate and risk your life? Sun Jian said with a smile, "Although Wentai doesn't dare to indulge, but General Han, now that he and Ma Mengqi are joining forces to fight the enemy, does the general have a chance of winning?" "This ......" Hearing this, Han Sui couldn't help but pause, this Sun Jian's bravery is recognized by the coalition forces, the battle of the Weihe River that day, Sun Jian still snatched Zhang Wen's body from Liang Yuanbi and Yan Xing's men with six guns and three arrows, the people of the time called it the Jiangdong Tiger, and now there is Ma Chao on the side, it is even more like a tiger with wings, thinking of this, Han Sui looked at the countless torches in the woods, couldn't help sighing, and replied faintly: "No."
"General Han, Wentai respects you as a hero who stands up to the sky." Sun Jian said with a straight face: "You retreat quickly, don't risk yourself." Li Kan Ma Ruan looked at Ma Chao not far away and pressed the moon gun to stand up, and the two people who knew the gap between the two sides couldn't help but get nervous, but Cheng Yin dared to ask: "General Sun, why is your grain and grass camp on fire?" When Huang Gai heard this, he turned his head and gave Ma Chao a look, Ma Chao understood, and pointed his bow at Cheng Yin and shouted: "Go!" Listening to a whoosh, Cheng Yin's helmet fell in response.
"Han Sui, my father has a word first, if you meet on the battlefield this time, you will definitely let me let you live." Ma Chao lied without blushing, "Don't be ignorant, don't leave, my Tilu Moon Lance is going to drink blood!" As he spoke, Huang Gai also raised a pair of steel whips in his hand from time to time, with the intention of rushing to kill. Sun Jian said indifferently to Han Sui: "General, this rebellion Li Wenhou is the first evil, Your Majesty has already issued an order, only punish the first evil and nothing else, this time Li Wenhou deliberately revealed the general's line of action to our army, which shows the viciousness of his heart, why should the general work for him?" It's better to abandon the darkness and surrender to the court, you and I can join forces to fight the enemy? When Han Sui heard this, he was silent for a long time before he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you General Wenyue, how can I not know that Li Wenhou is insidious and vicious?" It's just that this matter is very important, and it is not too late for General Rong to allow Wen Yue to gather our generals to discuss together after returning to the camp! ”
Sun Jian nodded, his goal had been achieved, so naturally he didn't push Han Sui too much, but just raised his hand and said: "The general understands the righteousness, Wentai expects that the general will not go the wrong way, please!" Waiting for the general in Wuwei! ”
Outside Wuwei City, Li Wenhou's camp.
"General, in today's melee, our side lost nearly 40,000 infantry cavalry, and more than 70 generals and colonels were broken." Beigong Boyu reported to Li Wenhou with a bandage on his face.
Li Wenhou slapped the table angrily, at this time he had pinned all his hopes on Han Sui, who went north to raid the Han army's grain and grass camp, he looked down at the tiger's mouth that was cracked by Ma Teng, and sighed in his heart: "This Lu Bu is not here, and the battle is not very easy to fight!" Thinking of this, Li Wenhou raised his wine glass and drank the spirits, turned to everyone and said: "Order Li Dao Guo Yan, who is stationed in Zhangxian County to guard grain and grass, to lead an army of 50,000 troops to immediately come to support. ”
It's a pity that the manifestation at this moment is no longer Li Wenhou's jurisdiction, but Dong Zhuo's territory.
"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo smiled proudly: "The two generals abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I, Dong Zhuo, thank you for the Son of Heaven!" Probably seeing the 50,000 lions behind the two of them was too excited, Dong Zhuo didn't stand still for a while and almost fell to the ground, thanks to Li Dao Guo Yan's eyes and hands quickly supported Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's face shook the fat, and grinned: "I have already prepared the fattest beef and sheep wine, just waiting for the general and the soldiers under his command to come and drink happily, hahaha, please!" As he spoke, he led a man in one hand and walked towards the house.
Looking at the mountains of cattle and sheep wine in the courtyard, and listening to Dong Zhuo's subordinates recite the praise last night, how could these 50,000 soldiers have been treated like this? Including Li Dao and Guo Zhengnei, everyone immediately knelt down and said to Dong Zhuo: "I will swear allegiance to the general!" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru on the side proudly, helped Li Dao Guo Yan up, turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, it is really a great joy for the two generals to vote today, how about we have another joy?" ”
Hua Xiong put his arm on the shoulders of Zhang Ji, the pioneer under Li Wei's tent, and asked, "General, what is the joy and joy?" In the midst of the uproar, Dong Zhuo took Li Ru's hand and announced in public: "Marry my daughter to Li Ru and Li Wenyou, from today on, Li Wenyou will be my military advisor sacrificial wine!" ”
"What? Li Dao and Guo Yan burned grain and grass and surrendered to Dong Zhuo with more than 50,000 people? Li Wenhou's face turned pale for a while, and he fell to the ground.
"Report to the general, General Han has returned to the camp." Beigong Boyu came in and said, "This Han Sui went out and his temper rose, and he was lukewarm to me!" After a while, Han Sui walked in with a pale face: "General, I missed it!" Li Wenhou looked incredulous: "Impossible? There's no way I'm going to make a mistake with my information, Wenyue, are you sure you're not wrong? ”
Before the words fell, the candidate beside Han Sui shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this? Is it possible to suspect that we have fornicated with the enemy army? Beigong Boyu had already held his breath, and couldn't help but retort: "We fought fiercely for a day and suffered heavy losses, but you were unharmed, do you doubt that there is something wrong with you?" That Li Dao and Guo Yan had just burned the grain and grass of the coalition army and surrendered to Dong Zhuo. Before he could be shocked by Li Wei's defection, Ma Ruan, Yang Qiu, and candidate Cheng Yin pulled out their swords one after another, glaring at Beigong Boyu and said, "Lao Tzu hasn't suspected that you deliberately set up a trap for us to drill!" ”
Beigong Boyu, Cheng Meng, and Cheng Yong did not show weakness, and they all picked up their weapons and said: "You want to rebel, right?" For a while, the guards on both sides were in their hands, and the tent was full of gunpowder. Song Yang, who was worried about causing trouble and chaos on the Xiao Wall, hurriedly said: "Don't hurt the harmony of the generals, the top priority is for the army to retreat to Jincheng first, and then discuss, what do you think?" Li Wenhou also consciously lost his words, and ordered Beigong Boyu and others to put away their weapons, and persuaded with good words: "Wenyue, it is a gaffe, let's return to Jincheng to meet General Bian Zhang, what do you think?" ”
Although he already had a mustard in his heart, Han Sui still replied quietly: "But it's up to the general to decide." With that, he exited the tent with the candidates and others. Beigong Boyu angrily thrust his sword into the ground, and said hatefully: "What a Han Wenyue who doesn't know how to lift." Li Wenhou also said with some dissatisfaction: "Today, the strength of the two sides of the alliance is almost equal, and it seems that this Han Sui will become more and more difficult to control in the future." Song Yang waved his hand, signaled Beigong Boyu and the others not to say more, turned around and ordered: "Order all armies to immediately withdraw their camps and return to Jincheng as quickly as possible." ”
In prison, Yan Xing sat cross-legged facing the window alone, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Isn't it time for the next day?" Hearing the sound of the cell door opening, Yan Xing closed his eyes and slowly spoke, "Come on, the eldest husband will die after all, it's a pity that the ambition of his life has not yet been realized, it's sad and lamentable!" The two guards pushed open the cell door, Lu Bu took a deep breath, and walked in with Yuan Ruonan's support: "Dare to ask what is the ambition of the general's life?" Seeing Yan Xing's ignorant look, the guard guarding the door couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he knocked the door frame and said dissatisfiedly: "Boy, General Fenwei came to see you in person, what kind of attitude do you have?" ”
Hearing that the person in front of him turned out to be the famous Lu Bu, Yan Xing couldn't help but be a little surprised, only to see him slowly stand up and say to Lu Bu: "You are the history of the Bingzhou Assassin, the general Lu Bu of Fenwei?" Lu Bu pulled out his left arm, which was tightly supported by Yuan Ruonan, stood alone in front of Yan Xing and hugged his fists and said: "No, it is under the bottom, I have admired the general's name for a long time, and today I finally saw the general's own dignity." When Yan Xing heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said ashamedly: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you work for the general." ”
Lu Bu said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, and he hasn't asked for advice yet, and the general has the ambition in his heart." As he spoke, he didn't dislike the dirty cell and sat cross-legged across from Yan Xing. After Yuan Ruonan, who accompanied him, put the wine and food he brought on the table, he retreated with the guards. Yan Xing looked at Lu Bu with the appearance of a corporal of Lixian, and couldn't help but feel a little more good for him in his heart, and also sat in front of Lu Bu and said: "Yanming has been trapped in the border since he was a child, and has witnessed the tragic situation of Han and Hu killing each other, so he is determined to assist the virtuous monarch to stabilize the situation in the border and ease the relationship between Han and Hu in his lifetime, and see that the banners of all ethnic groups can fly together under the sky!" Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully, raised the wine glass on the table and said to Yan Xing: "The general's ambition is admired, come, salute the general!" ”
"It's just that Han Sui is the master in the general's heart?" Putting down the wine glass, Lu Bu asked. Yan Xing sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank another glass: "Although General Han is not the master of the Ming, he has the grace to save Yan Ming's life, the grace of the ancients should be reciprocated by the spring, Yan Ming does not want to be scolded by the world as a ruthless and unrighteous person!" Lu Bu shook his head: It's another tendon. Although he was a little sad that he couldn't recruit Yan Xing under his command, he immediately adjusted his mood and began to implement his plan: "In this case, please return to Jincheng immediately." After getting the information, Li Wenhou teamed up with Jincheng Bian Zhang to kill General Han, and if the general wanted to save Han Sui, he had to leave immediately. Hearing Lu Bu's words, Yan Xing's hand trembled, and the delicate wine glass was buckled on the ground: "Is this true, general?" ”
"Weapons and horses have been prepared." Lu Bu drank a glass of wine, and Zhengse said, "Lord Huangfu Song has already greeted him, if the general can trust him, please return to Jincheng immediately." After Yan Xing hesitated for a moment, he immediately got up and saluted: "This time it is considered that Yan Ming owes the general a favor, and he will definitely pay it back in the future!" Lu Bu stood up, helped Yan Xing up, and said with a little meaning: "Please tell General Han that the prodigal son will turn back, and Your Majesty is willing to exchange a hundred quintals of gold." Looking at the back of Yan Xing leaving in a hurry, Yuan Ruonan, who had been waiting outside the door, bent the corners of his mouth and said to Lu Bu, who was drinking: "Another prey that fell into your trap, hehe!" Lu Bu looked at Yuan Ruonan's quiet face in the moonlight, and said with a little smugness: "Carving insect skills, the girl smiled." With such a beautiful scenery, it's really boring to drink alone, I wonder if the girl is interested in having a few drinks with you? Yuan Ruonan looked around at the furnishings in the room, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "General Fenwei, are you used to drinking in your cell?" ”
Jincheng was too guarded by the mansion, Beigong Boyu ignored Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang, who were laughing, pushed the door in, angrily threw the sword on the table and scolded angrily: "Han Sui Pifu, deceive people too much!" ”
"General, what's the matter?" Li Wenhou asked confusedly, and Song Yang beside him picked up the wine glass and handed it over, "Let's have a drink first!" Beigong Boyu took the wine glass and drank the liquor, and said angrily: "Just now I went to Han Sui to discuss the distribution of grain and grass, he actually asked for twice the amount of grain and grass that was predetermined to be distributed, and I found out after careful investigation that this horseman actually took advantage of our strong attack on Wuwei to contain more than 10,000 scattered troops without authorization, and now his subordinates have reached more than 40,000 people, more than one and a half more than our men and horses!" ”
Listening to Beigong Boyu's words, the faces of the three of them all became solemn. Bian Zhang was a little worried: "General, in this way, our strength is at a disadvantage, didn't you ask him why he expanded the team privately?" Beigong Boyu slapped the table: "How can you not ask, before you ask a few words, Li Kan and others around Han Sui became angry, saying that General Li pretended to be public and private, and every time there was a vicious battle, he let the Jincheng army step forward and desperately cause serious losses to Han Sui's subordinates, and it was natural for him to expand the army and replenish the troops!" ”
"Fart!" Li Wenhou, who has always been calm, couldn't help but burst into a rage when he heard this: "Lao Tzu's troops fought all the way from the border pass to Chang'an, how many people died, are they blind?" Song Yang frowned and slowly opened his mouth: "The two sides have a suspicion, and they must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to unite forces against the imperial army!" When Beigong Boyu heard this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, only to see him press the scabbard and say coldly: "No poison, no husband, we might as well ......" said and made a killing gesture.
"Yanming? You're back? Seeing Yan Xing come back intact, Han Sui was a little overjoyed, "Okay, okay, now the old man has a bottom in his heart." ”
Yan Xing knelt on the ground and saluted Han Sui: "General, the imperial army is unstoppable, which shows that the Han Dynasty is still far away from the situation of the declining West Mountain, please think twice for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under your command!" "That's it, my lord, Li Wenhou doesn't take us seriously at all, why should we work for him!" Ma Ruan persuaded: "We now have 40,000 horses, even if we surrender, the imperial court will not dare to take us because of the general's prestige?" ”
Looking at the immature young faces in the courtyard, Han Sui frowned and hesitated for a while, then turned to the candidates beside him and said, "Go to the barracks immediately and call Li Kan, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu and Zhang Heng!" Let's just say that the general has important matters to discuss, and at the same time order the whole army to enter a state of combat readiness, Yanming, you go to the barracks to lead the whole army for the old man, and pay close attention to Li Wenhou's movements. ”
"General, Yan Xing is back!" Cheng Meng walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and said to Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang, who were dressed in military uniforms, "Han Sui has just summoned several of his lieutenants into the conference hall, and Yan Xing has taken over the Jincheng Army and put on a combat readiness posture!" Beigong Boyu persuaded: "General, Han Sui is already ready to make a move, and if you don't do it in an emergency, everything will be over!" ”
"Grandma's, then do it!" Li Wenhou slapped the table, "Beigong Boyu, you immediately lead the guards to Jincheng Taishou Mansion, and quickly solve Yan Xing while the troops of both sides have not yet entered the city, so as not to cause large-scale infighting, others, follow me to the council hall, I want to see how this Han Sui Pifu can quibble this time!" ”
