Chapter 23 Wang Hao built a fortress to resist the barbarian army, and Liao Li's clever plan was to go to the barbarian chieftain
As soon as the four of them retreated, Ruan Xi brought them into the account again, and said: "The lord sent a letter to call the two brothers to come to meet each other, and only my second brother came to receive the letter. This time, my eldest brother also went to the army, and said that he had sailed a boat with the same people before, but he encountered wind and waves on the way, and fell on a desert island, and he had to return it before the moon. After seeing the letter at home, I first went to Changsha, only to know that I had gone out with the lord to Yuanling, and then chased to Yuanling. Wang Hao was overjoyed and said, "Please see you soon." ”
A moment later, Ruan Xi brought in a man from outside the tent. Wang Hao raised his eyes, but saw this person: his face and eyebrows were raised, and his mouth was slightly fisted on all sides. There is a yellow hair on the chest, and two horizontal ribs on the back. There are thousands of pounds of strength in his arms, and tens of thousands of cold lights in his eyes. People are called Tai Sui, and they are really the demon kings of the world. I saw him bow down and say: "In Xia Ruanjiang, the cursive word Boyuan, meet the general." Wang Hao hurriedly ordered him to get up, because he had no military merits, he was first named a captain, and seeing that Ruan Xi was injured, he hurriedly asked An Wen to come for diagnosis and treatment, and made Ruan Xi recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and first let his brother temporarily lead the navy.
Since Xiangxiong's army was defeated and retreated into the mountains, Wang Hao led his army to Tun and Yuanling. An envoy from Wuling County came to report, saying that Youyang and Qianling barbarians retreated without a fight. Wang Hao made the horse to explore, not two days, the horse returned, said Youyang, Qianling barbarian soldiers all retreated to Chenyang to defend, the barbarian chief Xiangxiong led the army also retreated to Chenyang, and annexed the Chenxi tribes, Youxi, the two clans were afraid of the power of Xiangxiong, and did not dare to say that half of the Xiangxiong was merged.
Wang Hao hurriedly summoned Zhu Wenwu to discuss, and Zhu Wu said: "The lord can make people build fortifications with the road, and divide troops to guard them, so as not to be sent out by Xiangxiong." Then he made several generals lead troops to sweep the mountains and forests, and moved all the Wuxi people down the mountain to settle down, cutting off the root of Xiangxiong. Wang Hao groaned: "I'm afraid that this trip will have a dry day? On the side, Liao Li said: "Don't worry, lord, this is a good strategy for one person to die and live a hundred people. Wang Hao looked at everyone with his eyes, and when he saw that all the generals secretly nodded in agreement, he agreed to Zhu Wu's strategy.
Wang Hao ordered Luan Yu and Luda to lead troops to build a fortress to resist Xiangxiong, and made Huang Xin, Li Yun, Chen Da, Yang Chun, and Xue Yong each lead 1,000 troops and horses, and ordered Shamoke's troops to be guides to sweep the mountains and forests. And he made Shamoko guard the tomb of Yuan, and camped at night. Jiang Jing persuaded: "Shamoke is newly surrendered, and the barbarians have a repetitive heart, and the lord should not be lightly involved. Wang Hao said: "General Sha is a man of faith and righteousness, and his people are also honest people, so how can they harm me." So he didn't listen to Jiang Jing's words and insisted on staying in the barbarian camp. Shamoko deeply felt his virtue, and he was wearing armor and holding soldiers at night, serving the king in a good tent, and all the barbarian soldiers were also salty.
Wang Hao was not only able to be subdued by Xiongxi, but also ordered Shamoke to go to the old and young and the disabled, and selected the strong and strong to be incorporated into the army, and Shamoke and the Xiongxi people all followed, and the Wuxi barbarians gradually returned to their hearts.
Luan Yu and Luda built a fortress to guard the road, and Xiangxiong had to stop standing in Chenyang several times. The generals Huang Xin and Li Yun led their troops to crisscross the mountains and forests of Yuanling, Youyang, and Qianling counties. Carry the Wuxi barbarians down the mountain. Wang Hao made Pei Xuan caress him, Pei Xuan is upright and honest, impartial, and barbarians feel his virtue.
Some Han people sued the newly relocated barbarian girl for stealing her neighbor's chicken. Pei Xuansheng interrogated, and when he saw the plaintiff, he said with great spirits: "Master, I want to sue this barbarian woman for stealing her neighbor's chicken." With that, he looked at the brute girl triumphantly. Pei Xuan saw that the barbarian girl was holding the young/child in her arms, and secretly wept, obviously not good at words. Looking at the people outside the hall, the people of the Han clan gloated, and the people of the Barbarian clan were indignant.
Therefore, Pei Xuan had a plan and asked the plaintiff: "How did you see this barbarian girl stealing chickens." The plaintiff said: "When I came home from outside the village, I passed by the door of this barbarian neighbor, who came out of the neighbor's house in a panic with a child in one hand and a chicken in the other. Pei Xuan said: "Can you see her catch chickens with your own eyes?" The plaintiff rolled his eyes and replied, "I saw it with my own eyes." The barbarian girl heard what the plaintiff said, and was about to distinguish it, but she didn't know how to say it, and Pei Xuan saw this and made her feel a little calmer.
Pei Xuan said to the plaintiff again: "Since you have seen it with your own eyes, can you show me how this woman catches chickens?" The plaintiff thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Pei Xuan ordered the servants to put the chickens on the hall, and ordered the plaintiff to hold an object in his right hand and catch the chickens. The plaintiff was holding the object in his right hand and the chicken in his left hand, and he couldn't even catch it for a few moments, so he was embarrassed and laughed loudly.
At this time, Pei Xuan patted the case and said: "How do you frame your lover as a thief, and you still don't recruit it from the truth." At this time, the plaintiff had no choice but to confess, it turned out that he had stolen chickens from the barbarian girl's neighbor's house, and when he went out, he met the barbarian girl coming home.
Pei Xuan sentenced this scoundrel to 30 canes, two months of hard labor, and a fine of 500 yuan, and all the money he fined was given to the wronged barbarian girl. The people who heard the trial in the hall all praised Pei Xuan for being fair and strict, and judging the case like a god.
There was also a fight between the barbarians and the Han people, and several people were injured. Pei Xuan was impartial and played fifty boards each. The prisoners on trial are all salty.
Wang Hao had the barbarians to return to his heart, and originally wanted to make the army attack Chenyang, but when the midwinter was approaching and the march was difficult, he ordered the army to Tunyuan Tomb first, and then make plans at the beginning of the next spring.
Winter goes to spring, Xiangxiong has 100,000 soldiers and Chenyang, and the grain and grass suddenly feel scarce, so he waved his army to Wangyuanling, wanting to defeat the king first and then plunder the state and county.
Wang Hao led the army to support Luda and Luan. Wang Hao originally had an army of more than 20,000 people, and formed a barbarian army to enlist in the army, Youyang and Qianling were encircled, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were obtained from Wuling, totaling 50,000 people, and the soldiers were strong and strong. Xiangxiong could not win several battles, and the army was short of food, so the soldiers plundered the four fields, not to mention the Han barbarians, and all collected the grain stored at home. The Han barbarians and the old men all went to the king's camp to cry.
Wang Hao urgently summoned Zhu Wu to discuss, and Zhu Wu said: "My lord, Xiangxiong's method is invincible, and the only way to do it is to make the sergeant try to ambush it." Wang Hao couldn't, so he sent Huang Xin, Li Yun, and Xue Yong to lead 3,000 soldiers and Xiaolu to ambush the barbarian army.
Huang Xin received the order, and said Li Yun and Xue Yongdao: "The order of the three lords of my country, when the general of the enemy army is captured, it can be regarded as meritorious." The two said yes and said, "I don't know what good plan Yan Zhi can have, teach me the two of you?" Huang Xin said: "We will lead the sergeant to lie on the path, and you will lead the sergeant to crouch on the side of the road. Then I will lead the soldiers to lie in front of them, and when the barbarians have all passed the place where the two of you have been lying in wait, the three of them will come out together, so that they will not escape. The two nodded yes, and then crouched on the path according to Huang Xin's strategy.
But it was said that on this day, it was the Jingfu of Zhangxi who led the army out of the camp to get food from Hu and his son. Xiang Yu led the army to look at the small pass, but there was a Han army on the side of the road, and went straight by. But when he heard the sound of the trumpet, he saw one army in front of him and two armies in the rear. When Xiang Yu saw that there was an ambush, he was immediately shocked and wanted to lead the army forward, which happened to coincide with Huang Xin. The two clashed, and the battle was not twenty together, and Xiang Qi expected to be invincible, so he went back. ran into Li Yun and Xue Yong again, and the two of them raised their swords and guns together, and they came to take advantage of them. Xiang Yu slapped his horse forward, fought with the two, how could he be defeated by the two, and when Huang Xin arrived, the three members refused to fight and captured Yu alive. The three of them also sent the sergeant to kill and disperse the barbarians, and led them to Dazhai.
The three of them were arriving at the gate of the village and bumped into Liao Li. Seeing this, Liao Li had a plan, so that the three of them would first solve Xiang Yu's account and let him be entertained with wine and meat. Since he went to the big tent to see Wang Hao, and when he saw Wang Hao, Liao Li offered advice: "This way, this way, this way, it is expected that the barbarian army will be broken." "The king is good at it.
The king had the king call him to his account, untied him, and asked, "Who are you a general?" Xiang Yu replied: "I am the son of Xiang Hu, the master of Zhangxi." Wang Hao said: "I have known that your father is a loyal and upright person to Hu, but now he is confused by Xiangxiong, so that it is so." I will let you go today, so that Lingzun will return as soon as possible and avoid great calamity. "I bowed to Yu Qi and left, returned to Xiang Hu, and complained about Wang Hao's virtue. Xiang Hu was also grateful.
The next day, Xiang Xiong went to Hu Yingzhai, after the salute, Xiang Xiong asked: "We were defeated by the virtuous nephew yesterday and captured by the Han dog, how can we come back now?" Xiang Hu replied: "The king is good to let it go with righteousness." Xiangxiong said: "This matter may make something strange, or it may be a counter-plan for the king, and he wants to make you and me discord, so he uses this scheme." Xiang Hu didn't believe it, and he hesitated in his heart.
But he said that after Xiangxiong returned to the village, he had doubts in his heart, so he pressed it for the time being. The next day, Xiangxiong summoned Hu, and each sent the sergeants out of the camp to get food. Liao Li expected it early, so that Shamoke and Huang Xin were on the road. When the two armies of the barbarian army came, most of them were killed by ambushes, and countless sergeants were captured, all of whom were relieved to Dazhai. Xiangxiong's people were imprisoned on one side, and Xianghu's people were imprisoned on the side. But the sergeant said: "But the people who want to Hu will not die, and the people of Xiangxiong will be killed." All the barbarians heard this. After a while, Wang Hao ordered the people who were oriented to Hu to come to the tent and asked, "Who are you and the others?" All the barbarians said: "We are all to Hu Bu. Wang Haojiao spared him from death, and rewarded him with wine and meat, and sent people out of the camp and indulged in the village. Wang Hao called Xiangxiong's people to ask again, and the barbarian army also informed: "We are also to Hu Buzhong." "The king also spared him from death, gave him wine and food, and sent him out of the camp and indulged in his return to the village.
All the barbarian troops returned to thank him, went to the village, entered the Xiangxiong, and said that he and other false claims to the Hu people, but they were spared a death, and they had to drink and eat. Xiang was suspicious, and immediately sent people to inquire about Huzhai, but there were people who were generally released to say that Wang was good. Despite this, Xiang Xiong was still hesitant in his heart. He also ordered a person to go to Wang Hao's village to listen to the truth and truth, and was arrested by the Fulu army to see Wang Hao. Wang Hao deliberately recognized it as Xiang Hu's person, called into the account and asked: "Your family has made an appointment with Xiangxiong and Tian Xiang, why did you miss the date?" You're not fine, how can you do it? The sergeant vaguely agreed, and Wang Hao gave him wine and food, repaired a secret book, and handed it to the sergeant: "You take this letter to reply to Xiang Hu, teach him to start early, and Hugh will make a mistake." The sergeant thanked him and went back, and said that Xiang Hu was so and so.
