Chapter 69 Winning People's Hearts
"What's the matter?" Huo Yi saw Ye Wei frowning, and asked loudly.
"It's strange, General, you see, it's a secret message from the scouts on the North Shore!" Ye Bing put a secret letter on Huo Yi's case.
Huo Yi frowned and opened the secret letter, and slowly looked at it: "The Jiangdong Army is shrinking the defense line? ”
Huo Yi got up, walked to the topographic map in the tent, pointed to the original deployment map of the Jiangdong Army, and said loudly: "The original Huang Gongfu and Pan Wenqi departments have shrunk from the left flank to the Chinese army's water village. Only a few military horses were left for vigilance! Looking at the two parts of the right wing, it is shrunk to the left of Shonan City. ”
Huo Yi smashed his mouth, and he began to see clearly what kind of medicine Lu Meng was selling.
Ye Zhi also frowned: "Could it be that they are going to attack from somewhere else?" Is it to shrink the defensive line in preparation for the deployment of military horses? ”
Guan Xing said loudly: "I think, but I am afraid of the general's tiger might, shrinking the defense line, afraid that we will cross the shore and break each one, right?" ”
Huo Yi glanced at Guan Xing: "You kid also use some brains, Lu Meng came here just to capture my Jingnan two counties, and there are only two possibilities for him to shrink the defensive line." First, as Youming said, he is going to attack from the bypass; Second, what happened that prompted him to switch from offense to defense. ”
After pondering for a long time, but he couldn't get the slightest inspiration, Huo Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it, this Lu Ziming thinks that he is attacking me at this moment, and he will not win the martial arts, and he will wait for me to return from the Shu army before he wants to fight with me?" ”
Guan Xing and Ye Zhi in the tent also laughed a few times when they heard this, and just as the tent was peaceful, a voice came to mind outside the tent: "General! Someone from Jingzhou said that it was General Guan Pingguan! ”
Guan Xing smiled: "What is the big brother doing?" ”
Huo Yi didn't say anything, and hurriedly came out of the military tent to greet him.
Huo Yi's military tent was set up between Xiangxiang City and the middle section of the defense line, and 3,000 military horses transferred from Deng Ai were stationed around. and two thousand cavalry under the direct jurisdiction of the king. Guan Ping was outside the camp gate, but Huo Yi's sergeant was extremely strict, and without the permission of the commander, he simply blocked Guan Ping from the camp gate.
Huo Yi personally went out of the camp to greet Guan Ping and welcomed Guan Ping into the camp, but Guan Ping said: "Last time, the 20,000 soldiers trained by Shao Xian were very elite. Ping knew that Shao had the ability to train soldiers, but he never thought that this sergeant was so elite and strong. The strict military discipline is not even enough compared to my father's own soldiers! ”
Huo Yi snorted: "Where can I compare with my father-in-law's military horse, what is the matter with my eldest brother here?" However, the father-in-law is short of soldiers and horses, so he can quickly transfer military horses to help! ”
Guan Ping laughed: "If there is a shortage of soldiers and horses, it means that this battle is fierce, then you say that I can still have time to come to Lingling for help?" ”
Huo Yi was stunned when he heard this: "Why is the eldest brother here?" ”
Guan Ping smiled loudly: "Father heard that the Jiangdong Army gathered seventy or eighty thousand troops and horses to attack you from Changsha and Guiyang counties. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat, let me lead 10,000 troops to help! ”
Huo Yi was stunned when he heard this. When did I receive such concern? Not to mention the battle of Xiangfan, he also knew how hard it would be to fight there, but he never thought that Guan Erye was so powerful, he still had spare strength, and he could still divide his troops here to support him.
Huo Yi smiled: "My father-in-law is inevitably a little underestimated." Xiangfan also worked hard. The eldest brother should work with his father-in-law, I can still handle it here! ”
Guan Ping patted Huo Yi's shoulder with concern: "In a blink of an eye, you have grown a lot taller, and you are a good man." But if you hold it hard, you will slap a swollen face and become fat! ”
Guan Xing couldn't help laughing: "Haha, what should I do, big brother, you came here for nothing!" Yesterday, a wave of offensive of the Jiangdong Army was defeated by the righteous brother's countermeasures, more than half of the more than 8,000 forwards were killed, 3,000 were captured, Jiangdong General He Qi was beheaded, Gan Ning was captured, and he was eating prison food in Xiangxiang City! ”
Guan Ping's eyes widened, and he patted Huo Yi's shoulder fiercely: "You kid, when did the army of Shu come back, why didn't I get any news?" I knew that your men and horses had returned to Jingnan, so I didn't need to lead the military horses all the way to come. ”
Ye Jiong was serious, and bowed his head and said: "General Yuguan, Gao Jin is leading the army on the road, and the news that came back two days ago has already arrived in Zigui, and I think it should be close to the public security today." ”
Guan Ping was shocked when he heard this, and a pair of handsome eyes were like copper bells: "What? How many people are there here in Xiangxiang City? ”
Ye Jiong said loudly: "Our army has transferred 3,000 military horses from General Deng Ai, 5,000 newly recruited county soldiers from Quanling, plus most of General Wang Chong's headquarters garrisoned on the riverbank, which is about 25,000 people. ”
Guan Ping pulled Huo Yi and walked towards the tent, and said hurriedly: "Shaoxian, you have to tell me about this, how did you fight, could it be that Lu Meng is a straw bag?" ”
Huo Yi's army camp is full of people at the moment, Jingzhou came to aid more than 10,000 military horses, so that Xiangxiang City is more at ease, originally thwarted a wave of Jiangdong Army's offensive, the situation is already very stable, at this moment people feel more at ease, it is Huo Yi, it is also an unprecedented promise, in the army to set up a banquet.
Guan Ping listened to Huo Yi's narration in 100 days, but he was extremely amazed, and forcibly got to know the two heroes of this war, Wang Ping and Wang Chong, and drank with the two generals, but Huo Yi was amazed to find that in this world, he was not the most unable to drink, Guan Ping obviously couldn't drink, but he just pretended to be big, but Wang Ping and Wang Chong had just started, and this guy was already drunk and fell to the ground.
Huo Yi shook his head helplessly, and let Guan Xing help Guan Ping into the account, but Huo Yi left the banquet as if he was fleeing, and let the generals Hu Tianhai drink it.
Huo Yi led hundreds of guards, carrying some wine and meat, to the earthen city on the bank of the river, the riverside in winter is extremely cold, a little wine and food can make the soldiers guarding the river have some heat, can cheer up the spirit of the guard.
At this moment, the left flank of the riverside is garrisoned by Wang Ming and Wang He, but the middle section is the young general Huo Liang, and the right section is Huo Yi's personal guard general Zhao Tong. Huo Yi's arrival still encouraged the army's heart, and these drinks and food made the hearts of the sergeants on duty late at night full, all of which were respectful to Huo Yi.
Huo Yi started from the right section, and arrived at the left section in the middle of the night, he and Wang Ming and Wang He have not spoken a few words seriously for many years, speaking of which, the scout camp under his command was run by these two brothers, but later there were people like Ye Zhi and Shen Tuqiang who were more talented than them, but these two brothers retreated to the second line.
The two of them, who are considered to be the fathers, are now competing with the young generals in the later stage for this rare opportunity, Huo Yi always thinks about it, but he always feels a little sorry for the two.
This night, Huo Yi just took this opportunity to sit at the head of the earth city with the second general, facing the cold winter Jiangyue, with a few frost flowers, a few cold winds, and eating wine and food.
"Honestly, do you two brothers have any complaints against me?" After eating the wine deeply, Huo Yi had some words, but the more he spoke, the brighter he became.
"Why did the general say that?" Wang He was stunned, you must know that this kind of thing is really big or small, if you lose Huo Yi's trust, the future of your two brothers will be really worrying.
Wang Ming is less timid than Wang He, but his mind is delicate, and Huo Yi has been with him for a long time, knowing that Huo Yi is a nostalgic person, and he has nothing to say to his old subordinates, but Wang Ming simply said: "General, to be honest, someone has come to buy the two of us!" ”
Huo Yi was still drinking, his mind was very clear, and he was actually very clear about the movements of his subordinates, otherwise there would be no wine tonight.
Wang Ming said slowly: "But my two brothers know what kind of goods we are!" In the general's place, we can finally have food and clothing, and with thousands of brothers with us, we can have some majesty at all! If you go to someone else's hands, I'm afraid you won't even be able to mix with a tooth general! ”
Wang He pushed Wang Ming: "Okay, don't say it!" ”
Huo Yi patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Since the two of you became Wang Chong's brothers of the opposite sex, and since you abandoned the former surname Gong, you have been my Huo Yi's brother!" I've forgotten what I had in the past! In my eyes, there are only two brothers, Wang He and Wang Ming! This is true today, and it will be true in the future. Today, I, Huo Yi, put down the words, with my mouthful of meat to eat, you will definitely not be hungry! (To be continued......)
