Chapter 5: The Scarlet Feather
Huo Yi cheered up and said, "Let him come in and say." β
After a while, Guan Xing led Ye Zhi to the hall, Huo Yi looked, but saw Ye Zhi in the dust, went up to the lobby, bowed his head and said: "Humble general, fortunately not disgraced!" β
Huo Yi's face was pleasant at this time, and the worries of these days suddenly disappeared, and then he seemed to think of something, and said, "Where is the messenger I sent to summon the Moyun Leopard to Linyuan!" β
Ye Wei raised his head and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, that Moyun Leopard is secretive, but he didn't embarrass those brothers." Two days before the first two days of these brothers, he rushed to the place where the barbarian king was, and acted according to the plan, and informed me that I was a close confidant of General Huo Ya, and said that my army was going only to destroy him. The clouded leopard was in a hurry when he heard this, but it was also stable and tight, and he immediately thought of contacting the barbarian kings to resist the army's crusade. β
Guan Xing offered a glass of water at the right time, Ye Bing picked it up and drank it, glanced at Guan Xing gratefully, and continued: "Just when this barbarian king was in a hurry to gather all the barbarians to discuss against our army, the general's envoy arrived. Seeing this person's doubts, the last general said that General Huo Crazy Tooth also went to Linyuan with the general, but the general was going to kill him this time, and only told him that no matter whether he came or not, he couldn't escape the word death, if he didn't come, there was still a chance to fight to the death, and General Huo Crazy Tooth would also respond in the middle. β
"This barbarian king is really a man of embarrassment, and immediately tore off his disguise, but he seems to be very afraid of the general, but he does not dare to do anything to the envoy, only to say, 'The two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed', I never thought that this barbarian man actually knew my Central Plains etiquette, which is really strange. The scouts were walking slowly, and the general was going to come back and inform the general first. β
"Have you ever seen a Jiangdong envoy dressed as Junhao?" Huo Yi asked again.
"I haven't seen it, but vaguely, I saw the Moyun Leopard secretly meeting with a group of people, avoiding me and the general's messenger, I think it's a handsome man." Ye Zhi said.
When Huo Yi heard this, he put his mind at ease, and was busy with Ye Ji to rest, and looked at the starry night sky outside, he could finally sleep well, Huo Yi thought.
Huo Yi was already asleep in Chongxian County, and after many days of marching, the accumulated worries were released overnight, but the sleepiness was rising, and he fell asleep when he touched the bed.
Compared with Huo Yi's An Ran, the Moyun Leopard, who was waiting for the rest of the barbarian kings of the three clans in Wuxi Laozhai, was nervous, different from what he imagined, he thought that as soon as his order came out, the three barbarians would be reluctant and dare not come, but the three barbarians were reluctant to send the messenger to him.
In desperation, he sent another wave of envoys, saying that Huo Yi went south to pacify all the southern barbarians. This time, the three clans of Chenxi, Xiongxi, and Zhangxi were like tigers that had been stepped on their tails, and jumped up, and the two clans of Xiongxi and Zhangxi only drew a line with their own families and reprimanded the messengers they sent, but Chenxi beheaded all their envoys, leaving only one, and their mouths and noses were cut off.
Moyun Leopard is a rough and fine man, he has studied in Jingzhou for several years, and he is different from ordinary barbarians who have been influenced by the Han civilization. He could clearly smell something unusual about it.
Although Wuxi Man has always fought in the nest, once it encounters interference or intrusion from the outside world, it will twist into a rope and unite with the outside world. But since the generation of the Moyun Leopard, to be precise, after Huo Yi came, this young man took advantage of the contradiction between Wuxi and Youxi to successfully make the two barbarians kill each other, so that Wuxi annexed the Youxi clan.
In the past two years, Wuxi has strengthened its strength after annexing Youxi, and it has the meaning of dominating Wuxi.
I never thought that the day before yesterday, a group of envoys came to the territory of the three tribes at the same time, and the suggestions put forward by the envoys were very generous. It was the most calm Chenxi barbarian king Ahali who also moved his heart. The three barbarians reached an agreement almost at the same time. Messengers were sent one after another, and the people who came went to Chong County.
The summer of the twenty-first year of Jian'an is about to be late, and Huo Yi is destined to take a new army to provoke the barbarian rebellion. Huo Yi, who thought that he had controlled the pulse of the world, would never have imagined that the Jiangdong Army would mobilize heavy troops in the Lingling area to suppress Xiangxiang and Zhaoyang.
After the defeat of the Jiangdong Army in Jingnan, LΓΌ Meng supervised the army in Changsha, and he had been on the defensive against Huo Yi and did not dare to make much action. Although Huo Yi has heavy troops in Lingling, firstly, he only has the power of two counties, and he does not dare to compete with Jiangdong, and secondly, he can't take the initiative to attack.
But Huo Yi still missed a strategy in the end, Jiangdong was very concerned about his own movements, they knew that once Huo Yi pacified Wuximan, he would be able to collect countless bravery, and this Jingnan would become a monolith. It was Lu Meng who asked Sun Quan to order him to mobilize more than 20,000 elite soldiers to detain Xiangxiang and Zhaoyang. said that the attack was false, most likely because Huo Yi felt the pressure and retreated from Wuling to defend.
Huo Yi is still asleep at the moment, and Lingling's stagecoach is still on the way to deliver the message.
The next day, the sky was just slightly bright, Huo Yi woke up from his sleep, ten years like a day, every day he got up at this point, as usual, holding a gun and a sword, buckled his hands and feet, and practiced martial arts in front of the hall. Every time at this moment, Guan Xing and Zhao Tong have to watch from the sidelines, and most of Huo Yi's personal guards are also standing in line, watching the young man who smells the chicken dancing in the hall.
Huo Yi has always believed in what Zhao Yun said, whether it is simple or complex, it is a shake, a dodge and a dodge such a simple action, you have spent effort to practice, and when you are ripe, it will become a part of your body, on the battle array, it is not the tricky and fast speed of your marksmanship, but the proficiency of all movements, as soon as the enemy's moves come, the movements you have practiced will rise with the trend, then you are invincible, this martial art can be regarded as practicing at home, and it is your own martial arts.
It is because Huo Yi practices diligently every day, and even when he has free time, he still has to hold the gun and sword in his hand without delaying a moment of effort.
An hour later, the marksmanship and swordsmanship had passed three or four times, Huo Yi regained his momentum, handed over the gun and sword to his own soldiers, turned around and smiled at Guan Xing and Zhao Tong: "You two don't have to watch, you can also practice with me in the future, our generals, whether they can make contributions or even save their lives in the battle array, rely on this little skill in their hands, don't waste it." β
Guan Xing and Zhao Tonggu nodded.
Guan Xing stepped forward at this time: "General, the envoy of the three barbarians estimates that it is almost here, whether to send someone to greet him." After all, Wuxi is only on the near side, if this Moyun Leopard has the heart to intercept it, I'm afraid it won't be good. β
"Well, that's reasonable, you go and prepare, and ask Li He to send a few teams of cavalry out fifty miles to meet you!" Huo Yi nodded.
"Whoa!" Guan Xing took the order.
"Report! Lingling Emergency! Just as Huo Yi turned around to wipe his sweaty body, a loud cry came from the front of the hall.
Huo Yi's figure was obvious, he turned around, walked over quickly, took the emergency report in his hand, and inserted a red finch feather on the letter, but this is the rule set by Huo Yi, the post station transmission is urgent to decide the distribution order, this standard is whether there are finches inserted in all kinds of emergency reports, and red is the most urgent, Huo Yi saw this red feather, his face stiffened, and he couldn't bear the content, he guessed what happened-Jiangdong Army committed Lingling.
Huo Yi didn't raise his head: "General Zhao, send someone to urgently summon the commanders of all armies to discuss matters here, be quick!" β
Zhao Tong knew the priority, walked out of the courtyard quickly, and went straight to the front hall.
Half an hour later, Huo Yi had already read the urgent letter countless times, and all the generals in the hall had arrived.
The faces of the generals in the hall were all very nervous, and they had already seen the red feathers on Huo Yi's case. The character of Fuli is the most eager, but he is the first one who can't hold back: "General, the content of this letter ......"
"The Jiangdong Army sent more than 20,000 troops, and the soldiers in Xiangxiang and Zhaoyang were extremely vigorous." Huo Yi said coldly.
"General, then our army should make a decision as soon as possible whether to fight or retreat, otherwise once the Jiangdong Army breaks through General Wang's defensive line, the foundation of our army will be difficult to stabilize!" Zhao Heng said.
"What General Zhao said is extremely true! But in my opinion, our army can only retreat, if it is entangled by the Southern Barbarians, and it is impossible to get rid of it urgently, then Lingling is in danger! Lu Yao got up and seconded.
"I don't think there's a need to panic." Zhao Tong, who was sitting at the end of the generals, said slowly. "Although the Jiangdong Army gathered heavy troops in Xiangxiang and Zhaoyang, it was just a bluff and nothing more than a faΓ§ade. If the Jiangdong army dares to invade Lingling, it only takes ten days for General Guan to break through the Lukou camp. Isn't the gain outweighing? β
Huo Yi also smiled softly: "The gentlemen regard Jiangdong as too much, Wang Chong and Deng Ai are my generals, and they have been conquering with this general for a long time, besides, although there are many Jiangdong troops, my Lingling army is not an easy person, Xiangxiang and Zhaoyang are the key places for our army to deploy, even if Lu Meng is exhausted, it is difficult to break through." Generals need not worry. β
"Today's convening of the monarchs, in fact, the three barbarian envoys are coming, and the battle between our army and Wuxi is inevitable. Let them know that if they don't attack Wuxi from our army, they will seek their own death! β
"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they were determined and agreed.
The generals ordered out of the hall, but Huo Yi suddenly frowned, Zhao Tong Guan Xing was Huo Yi's close subordinate general, seeing Huo Yi frowning, Zhao Tong asked: "General, since Lingling is fine, why is the general still so unhappy?" β
Huo Yi looked at Zhao Tong and sighed loudly: "I'm not worried about Lingling, Jiangdong soldiers and Lingling, I know that this is just a bluff, but, if this momentum is for Wuxi Man, then do they have an envoy who has already arrived in Wuxi, and the Jiangdong envoy pretended to be led by Shentu Junhao is probably already recognized by the Moyun Leopard."
