Chapter 246: That Reed
(5th update, roar and ask for votes!) )
Two days are fleeting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past two days, Liu Xuan and Tian Kai have not made any moves.
In Tian Kai's eyes, Liu Xuan did not use force, which means that Liu Xuan does not plan to go to war, but only wants to hold Beihai State. In Liu Xuan's eyes, he had only one purpose, which was to wait for the news from the sentinel to determine the location of the ambush against Tian Kai. As for what Tian Kai planned and what he planned, Liu Xuan was not interested at all.
"Report!"
Outside the tent, Shi Ayu reported: "My lord, Tian Kai's messenger asks to see you." ”
"Please!"
Liu Xuan gave an order, and Shi A went to pass the word.
After a while, Zhao Cheng strode in. At the beginning, Zhao Cheng chose a captain in the army to come to deliver the message, but Tian Kai thought that the captain was unfavorable and was not suitable as an envoy, so he had to let Zhao Cheng come in person.
In desperation, Zhao Cheng could only risk his life.
Coming to Liu Xuan's camp, Zhao Cheng had a trace of worry and apprehension in his heart, if Liu Xuan killed him in anger, would it be a big loss? I only hope that Liu Xuan will abide by the rules of the two armies not killing the envoys, and let him come and go in a hurry.
Entering the big tent, Zhao Cheng arched his hand and said: "Under Zhao Cheng, meet His Royal Highness King Jing." ”
Liu Xuan said: "What did Tian Kai ask you to do?" ”
Zhao Cheng replied: "Your Excellency has made an appointment with King Jing to negotiate, and the time is set for tomorrow morning, and the location is selected in the middle of the two armies. When the time comes, the Lord and King Jing negotiate face-to-face. ”
"What are you talking about?" Liu Xuan asked.
A trace of joy rose in Liu Xuan's heart, and he planned to negotiate with Tian Kai.
Unexpectedly, Tian Kai came first.
In the matter of negotiation, whoever speaks first means that whoever will be weaker. The reason why Liu Xuan negotiated with Tian Kai was because he had to calculate Tian Kai, otherwise it would be impossible to take the initiative to bring up the matter of negotiation.
Now it's okay, Tian Kai took the initiative to bring it up, and things are interesting.
Zhao Cheng replied: "My lord is here for the two generals, Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng. ”
Liu Xuan sighed and said lightly: "How to deal with Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng, this king has not thought about it clearly. In this way, you go back and inform Tian Kai, and this king will consider giving him an answer in a few days. ”
Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "King Jing, what do you have to consider about Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng?" ”
Liu Xuan suddenly raised his head, looked down at Zhao Cheng with an expression, and said, "This king likes to think about it, can you manage it?" Tian Kai didn't dare to start a war, so just wait. This king is in a good mood, and he will negotiate with him again. ”
Brush!
Zhao Cheng's face changed, and he sighed lightly in his heart. He self-righteously thought that he understood Liu Xuan's intentions, and he thought that Liu Xuan was so arrogant, in fact, he wanted to dry Tian Kai.
Zhao Cheng no longer persuaded and said, "Please King Jing can give an answer as soon as possible and leave." ”
"Got it!"
Liu Xuan waved his hand impatiently, Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly left the camp.
Liu Xuan instructed: "Shi, please Xu Huang." ”
"No!"
Shi Adeling, go down immediately to inform.
Xu Huang entered the camp tent and bowed: "The last general has seen the lord." ”
Liu Xuan had a hint of eagerness on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I came to you to inquire about the terrain. Tian Kai has already sent someone to deliver the message, and he has decided to negotiate with me. Tian Kai offered to negotiate, which was a God-given opportunity. I told Tian Kai to wait for the notice, but I couldn't delay it too long. ”
Xu Huang frowned slightly, and said, "The sentry scout made a detour to infiltrate Guangxian to find out the news, and has chosen a location at present. ”
"What location?" Liu Xuan asked.
Xu Huang replied: "There is a river in Guangxian County, about twenty miles away from us. When Tian Kai withdraws, he will pass through this river. The only drawback is that the river is shallow, and the terrain is flat, so it is difficult to form a turbulent river, and it is impossible to adopt the method of water attack. After looking at it, he denied the location. ”
Liu Xuan said: "Such a location is not suitable, the river is too gentle, even if you use sandbags to build a dam to intercept the river, it does not make any sense." In particular, we can only sneak into Guangxian quietly, once we want to intercept the river, the movement is too big, and we will be discovered. ”
Xu Huang nodded and said, "The last general also thinks so. ”
Liu Xuan said: "The matter of exploring the terrain must be completed as soon as possible, and the time is very tight. ”
Xu Huang said: "Don't worry, the lord will be staring at the end." ”
Suddenly, Shi A walked in and reported: "Lord, the sentry is back and wants to find General Xu Huang." ”
Xu Huang was overjoyed and said, "There is news again." ”
Liu Xuan also had a hint of joy in his eyes, and waved his hand and said, "Bring it here." ”
"Yes!"
Shi Adeling, go down immediately to give the order.
The sentry walked in and removed a wooden cylinder from his back. Open the lid of the barrel and there are three maps inside. The Sentinel laid the map on the ground for easy viewing.
Liu Xuan stood aside, looking at the three maps on the ground.
The sentry pointed to the first map and said in a deep voice: "Thirty miles to the west of us, there is a mountain forest, which is the necessary place for Tian Kai to retreat. The disadvantage here is that the mountains are flat, the mountain forests are small, the woods are sparse, and they are easy to find. ”
Xu Huang didn't give an opinion, and said, "Go on!" ”
The sentry took out the second map and said: "Fifty miles to the southwest of us, there is an open reed, which is also the only way for the Youzhou army to retreat. Within a radius of ten miles, there are all reeds, very numerous. Unfortunately, there is no defense and hidden terrain, because the reeds grow in the wetland, and a few people can hide. If the army is ambushed, it will definitely sink. ”
Liu Xuan nodded, but his eyes flashed.
The sentry took out a third map and said, "Seventy miles northwest of us, there are rolling hills and mountains. This location, with its winding mountain roads, is suitable for setting up ambushes. The disadvantage is that it is close to the county seat of Guang County. ”
After the introduction of the three places, the sentinel stood aside.
Liu Xuan looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, what do you think?" ”
Xu Huang had an excited look in his eyes, and said impassionedly: "The mountains and forests are insufficient, and the mountains are too close to Guangxian. The most suitable place is the reeds, there are reeds within a radius of ten miles, so many reeds, once they burn, it is a sea of fire, which is enough to make Tian Kai hit hard. ”
After a pause, Xu Huang said again: "If you plan it properly, this battle may even kill Tian Kai." Lord, there are not many such opportunities, I think you can choose to swing in the reeds. ”
"Heroes see the same thing, and that's what I think."
Liu Xuan was also quite excited, and said: "We have to think about this matter." It is not an easy thing to ignite the entire reed swing and let Tian Kai fall into it, and it must be carefully planned. ”
Liu Xuan asked the sentinel to retreat, and then sent someone to invite Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
Several people get together to discuss the next steps. After deciding on the strategy and perfecting the plan, Liu Xuan sent someone to Tian Kai's camp to inform Tian Kai of the time and place of negotiation.
