Chapter 63: Fighting wits and courage

All the high-ranking generals gathered in a rudimentary marching camp to deliberate.

"What's up ahead now?" Gao Huan drank a bowl of medicine and asked the people below, the Chinese medicine is really bitter, it may be that he is not accustomed to the water and soil or he has recently become delicate, and he followed the army to Handan, and he actually caught a cold and fell ill, the doctor with the army is the imperial doctor in the palace, before setting off, Gao Huan felt that he was in good health, and besides, it was okay to say that the sword and sword shadow were fine before, and there was no need for the imperial doctor to follow, but Murong Heng and Sun Teng strongly requested that this Northern Expedition bring the imperial doctor in the palace just in case.

It seems that these crows have really been right. Gao Huan thought to himself.

"At present, General Fengche's troops are besieged in Julu, and the vicinity of Zhongshan is also full of enemy cavalry troops, numbering nearly 20,000 people, but most of them are light cavalry, mainly harassment and arson." He Batsheng is now the number one general under Gao Huan, and of course he has the priority to speak.

"Several counties in Yanzhou and Yingzhou have also escaped our control under the bewitchment of Er Zhu Zhao, and they have set up their own mountains to fish in troubled waters. At present, only some counties in Jizhou, Youzhou and Xiangzhou have not been affected. However, according to the scout, Zhu Zhao personally led the army south to gather the party, and let Erzhu Dulu and Erzhu Shilong lead the people of the headquarters to stay in Jinyang. "He Batsheng seems to have a fairly clear understanding of the information.

"Oh no, you can't let this Erzhu Zhaotun gather in the party." The old master changed his usual appearance of the old god and looked very nervous. Everyone was taken aback by his surprise.

"What's the matter, what does the old master think of Er Zhu Zhao's movements? It's not like you are usual. Gao Yue also quipped on the side. Now his status in the Gao Huan Group has risen significantly, and his level is higher than Li Erhu, Guan Yiguan and Erren, Li Erhu is still stationed in Jizhou to prevent the anti-Gao Huan forces in Qingzhou and Northern Xuzhou from attacking the border, Guan Yiguan and Er are currently under his command.

"Hmph, what do you know? Here, Zhu Zhao did not go to war with us head-on, but went to the party, why? "Murong Heng is the anti-general of Gao Yue's army. Gao Yue thought to himself: Lao Tzu is not a roundworm in Er Zhuzhao's stomach, how do I know what he is doing when he goes to the party? I said maybe there are beautiful over there? Isn't this nonsense!

Seeing that Gao Yue shook his head very embarrassedly, Murong Heng then showed a calm and relaxed posture and said, "Isn't this the lice on the bald man's headβ€”is it obvious?" ”

He Batsheng turned to Murong Heng and said, "Does Mr. Fei think that he wants to echo with Erzhu Tianguang in Guanzhong and take the opportunity to attack us in two clicks?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. If this is the case, then Gao Huan will be miserable, he is leading the army step by step into the enemy's encirclement. But Erzhu Zhao's IQ would never have imagined such a vicious strategy, it must have been his dog-headed military advisor Xie Sichun's idea for him. Gao Huan secretly wrote down this person in his heart, and planned to fix him well when he caught him in the future.

"What's the gentleman's plan?" Gao Huan turned to Murong Heng for help, now that the situation is clear, it is impossible for Gao Huan to continue to lead the team north to let the family spank.

Looking at the medicine bowl in Gao Huan's hand, Murong Heng suddenly asked inexplicably: "The king forgive me for taking the liberty, are you really sick or pretending to be sick?" Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said, and they didn't know what kind of medicine this old gentleman was selling in his gourd.

"Now is not the time to discuss my condition, why should I pretend to be sick to show others?" Gao Huan is worried to death now, how can he have the heart to go around in circles with the old master, and he has no time to watch him sell Guanzi, so his expression is a little impatient when he speaks.

Murong Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, King, answer my question, and I will give you the answer you want." ”

Does this old master love it so much? Gao Huan was very depressed in his heart, and said angrily: "Who will pretend to be sick if they are fine?" It's so hard to drink medicine, you think I'm enjoying it. Suddenly, two words popped into his head: feign illness.

Gao Huan smiled at Murong Heng with a suddenly realized expression: "Haha, old master, I finally understand what you mean, you are indeed my good military teacher and good master." After saying that, he got up and came down and hugged Murong Heng and danced.

Everyone was stunned, what are these two buddies playing? Still dancing, what does it mean?

He Batsheng guessed a little bit of Murong Heng's thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say how to operate it. Murong Shaozong and Gao Zhongming are relatively low in rank, so even if they have 100,000 in their hearts now, they don't dare to interject casually.

Xu Mingzhi smiled and said to Gao Huan: "I also guessed the meaning of the military advisor, the king, listen to me briefly and see if it is the same as what you think." ”

"Oh, you thought of it too? Let's hear it. Gao Huan didn't have much hope that Xu Mingzhi would be able to guess what was going on between him and Murong Heng, but now that he was in a good mood, it didn't hurt for him to talk about it. The boss always has to give his subordinates a certain opportunity to perform.

"I'm wondering if the king can spread the false news of his illness, so that Erzhu Zhao and them mistakenly think that we won't attack for the time being, and then we will secretly withdraw to Luoyang to prevent Erzhu Tianguang in Guanzhong from sneaking up on our backs." Xu Mingzhi shook his head and looked at everyone triumphantly and said.

"Haha, you're good, but you're only half right." Gao Huan now has a plan in his heart, so he didn't get angry, and continued to say to everyone: "Pass my order, and let me say that I am seriously ill and will stay in Handan, and I will not go north for the time being." "Isn't this the same as what Xu Mingzhi said?

Looking at everyone's half-incomprehensible expressions, Gao Huan said with a look of not worrying about the back: "Fourth brother, you take Gao Yue and Murong Shaozong, I will transfer all the elite cavalry of our army to you, you will immediately go west to the party overnight, and first defeat Er Zhuzhao's men and horses, if you can't retreat, at least you have to trap them there." I myself led the army to Huierzhu Tianguang. "Yu Wentai behind the old man is always ready to sneak attack his nest, this person is not dead, and he is not willing to eat.

Murong Heng nodded with satisfaction, this is what the lord does, he is very satisfied with Gao Huan's point, people can be smart to this extent in ancient times, how did the old master know that Gao Huan was not good in his previous life, he also graduated from college and undergraduate, all kinds of IQ crushing, scheming or something to play with these ancients Gao Huan is a good hand.

This is He Batsheng asked a little worriedly: "Lord, how to deal with General Fengche?" He's still struggling to support us, waiting for our reinforcements. ”

This is also a problem, but at present, Gao Huan's troops are limited and his doppelganger spells are used, so he really doesn't have the extra energy to support Gao Qian. So he could only tell the truth: "At present, we may have very little support for General Gao, almost nothing, but I believe he can understand and persevere." At present, the most important thing for us is to quickly and decisively eat Erzhu Zhaozai's troops in Shangdang, and I will also repel Erzhu Tianguang's Guanzhong Group Army as soon as possible, and then wave my army north to rescue them. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became slightly sad, and everyone was silent. Although wars always have to die, but both sides of the war want each other to die a little more, so that they have a chance to win, but the winner is always a minority, will the goddess of luck favor Gao Huan this time? Everyone takes this battle very seriously, and the one who wins will own most of the entire empire, so this is a tough battle that Gao Huan can't afford to lose. So everyone began to actively prepare.

In Shangdang City, Er Zhu Zhao was enjoying the song and dance performance in the main hall at this time, the Khitan generals who sat down were all drinking and staggering, and the dancers danced with beautiful music to cheer up Er Zhu Zhao, and individual beauties from time to time Er Zhu Zhao flew his eyes and secretly sent autumn waves. This woman in the Central Plains is stronger than the Khitan, with a good body and white skin, and she is very docile, and she can come as she wants when she pulls it into the big tent.

At this time, Er Zhu Zhao was stunned, and he forgot to put the leg of mutton in one hand into his mouth, and stared at the dancing girl who was dancing with his eyebrows in a daze.

After Xie Sichun got the news that Gao Huan was sick and would stay in Handan, he immediately ran to Er Zhu Zhao to report back, this news was too important and timely.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xie Sichun was very angry and helpless at the sight of his relatives on the spot, and he was still in the mood to sing and dance here to level down when the war was imminent, he was really a group of unrepentant Hulu who died to the end, and he really regretted that he did not choose to join Gao Huan Group at the beginning, but with Gao Huan's scene at that time, Xie Sichun never imagined that he would be mixed into today's human dog, and he actually had the strength to fight head-on with several heavyweights of the Erzhu clan, and it was a one-to-many situation.

Look at Er Zhu Zhao in the hall at this time, staring at a dancing girl for a long time with a lustful expression on his mouth, it really can't become a big climate, there are more women in the world, and now he doesn't even care about fighting for a dancing girl. Xie Sichun hated it in his heart: if it weren't for his mother in his hands, his wife was also a Khitan woman, and his youngest son was also a mixed-race species, Xie Sichun would have abandoned Er Zhuzhao and fled back to his hometown in Henan.

Later, some people said that Erzhu Zhao was greedy for enjoyment and brought about his own destruction, but the author would like to say that this is because of the misunderstanding caused by the Han people and other ethnic groups about the different ******** of life. The Han people have always been happy to endure hardships and stand hard work, and that is because we have been enslaved by feudal ideology since ancient times, and we only know how to work hard, but we will not enjoy life. On the contrary, those ethnic minorities live transparently, knowing that people are inherently dead, and it is a day to be unhappy, rather than guarding those wealth, it is better to take it out and enjoy it, and it is not in vain to be a person. That's the difference, you can't say who's right and who's wrong, just respect each other's choices.

But Xie Sichun will not understand this truth, these things will not be understood until more than a thousand years later. So at this time, he didn't have much hope for Er Zhuzhao, and he just did his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

"King, the latest news, Gao Huan is seriously ill and will stay in Handan, our opportunity has come, take advantage of his illness to kill him, we quickly contact other Erzhu forces in Guanzhong to attack Luoyang together, cut off Gao Huan's grain route, and let him die in the area of Dingzhou and Xiangzhou." Xie Sichun stepped forward and said to the drunken Er Zhuzhao.

Er Zhu Zhao is most tired of this Xie Sichun, nagging endlessly all day long, not allowed to do this for a while, not allowed to be like that for a while, like a fly, Er Zhu Zhao can't wait to take a paddle and snap, and the whole world is quiet.

But at this time, he also knew that it was not a joke, so he waved his hand to stop the music, and asked Xi Sichun mysteriously: "Is the source reliable?" ”

"Don't worry, the king is the latest news from my undercover agent who was planted in Gao Huan's army, and it is very reliable." Xie Sichun also replied with a sincere face, he had bribed several undercover agents in Gao Huan's army as early as the Battle of Luoyang. But what he didn't expect was that most of these undercover agents later automatically surrendered to Gao Huan's side and confessed everything to him, including the upper and lower lines and the secret content of the joints, all of which had been mastered by Gao Huan. Who would dare to say that there are more traitors in the Han people!?

"That's really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what did Erzhu Tianguang say?" Er Zhu Zhao called his elders by their names, it can be seen that this person's "free and easy" is simply extraordinary, of course, for the Khitan people, sometimes the nepotism of the Han relatives has no practical effect on them, the nomads have no fixed place, everyone takes care of their own survival, who has spare time every day to climb relatives to pull relations, it is useless.

"I have already explained to Yuwentai, as long as we make a move, he will immediately go out to attack Luoyang, Luoyang is empty at this time, I believe it will not take a few days to take Luoyang City." Xie Sichun smiled sinisterly, Er Zhuzhao also smiled, both of them were very happy, the sheep's head placed on the table seemed to have become Gao Huan's head, and both the monarch and the minister felt that victory was in sight.
