When Zhang's father and son came to the outer hall, the envoy sent from Hezhou was drinking tea in the outer hall, wearing an ordinary gray robe, with a crown, and a dusty look, when Zhang Shuyan entered the lobby, the messenger had already grown up, and bowed his hand to Zhang Shuyan and said: "He Kui of Hezhou, I have seen General Zhang." ”

Zhang Shuyan walked to the front seat, looked at He Kui, and after sitting down, he asked with a smile: "Are you He Kui?" ”

"Exactly." He Kui arched his hand and said: "I have admired General Zhang's name for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Uncle Zhang Yan laughed, motioned for Zhang Han to serve tea, and then said: "He Kui's name, I have also heard of it, I heard that you are now a secretary under Hu Zongmao?" ”

He Kui nodded and said, "He does serve under General Hu. ”

Uncle Zhang Yan smiled and said: "You He Kui was originally a capable official, but it's a pity that ......!" Sighing, leaning forward slightly, staring at He Kui's eyes and asking, "General Hu sent you, why did you do it?" ”

He Kui immediately said: "General Hu heard that General Zhang was going to send troops to help, so he sent He to come and told He to explain to General Zhang that now Hezhou is defending with all his might, and with the strength of Hezhou, it can completely resist Chu Huan's attack, and there is no need to bother General Zhang to send troops." General Hu also said that everyone should guard their own place and not act rashly, because if it is a big thing, it will not be beneficial to everyone in the future. ”

"Nonsense." Zhang Han said angrily: "What, Hu Zongmao is threatening us? ”

Zhang Shuyan had already raised his hand, his expression became very strange, and he asked, "He Kui, what did you say?" What to send troops to aid? ”

He Kui was stunned and said strangely: "Naturally, General Zhang sent troops to support Hezhou?" Why, General Zhang doesn't know? ”

Zhang Shuyan only felt that something was wrong, shook his head and said, "Ben General doesn't understand what you're talking about?" The 4,000 soldiers and horses of the Genzi battalion are all stationed in Jinzhou, and not a single soldier is mobilized, so how can we say that we should send troops? ”

He Kui opened his mouth, his face showed a strange look, and looked at Zhang Han, who had already said: "It's really nonsense, don't say that we take the initiative to send troops, even if Hu Zongmao sends someone to ask for help, we have to think about it." ”

"That's not right." He Kui hurriedly said, "General Zhang, do you know Huang Yutan?" ”

"Topaz Tan?" Uncle Zhang pondered for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said: "I've heard that Huang Yutan, a famous scholar in the Northwest, all say that he is a mad ......!" Showing a suspicious look, he asked, "What does sending troops have to do with Topaz Tan?" ”

He Kui immediately said, "General Zhang, isn't Huang Yutan your staff?" ”

Uncle Zhang sighed: "Huang Yutan is known as one of the four famous men in the northwest, full of wealth, how many years ago, the imperial court invited him to enter the court as an official three or four times, but this person is arrogant in nature, and he turned a blind eye to the court's call, and later went to prison, and the saint also knew the fame of this person, and let him out of prison on the side of the net, but for many years, no one has seen his trace, and it is said that he has already died...... Ben Jiang really wants to have a staff like him, but it's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless, even if Ben Jiang has such a mind, I'm afraid Huang Yutan will not succumb to Ben Jiang. ”

He Kui had already changed color, and his voice was a little anxious, "General Zhang, this matter is not trivial, you ...... You can't be kidding! ”

"Who is kidding you." Zhang Han Huoran got up and said coldly: "He Kui, pay attention to your attitude when talking to your father, your father is the general of Jinzhou Town, your little secretary, don't lose your proportion." ”

Zhang Shuyan had already seen that He Kui's face was wrong, and faintly felt that something was wrong, so he asked urgently: "He Kui, what happened?" What the hell is Topaz Tan all about? ”

"General Zhang, if Huang Yutan is not your person, things will be in trouble." He Kui sat down dejectedly, "Just before He Mou set off from Hezhou, Huang Yutan arrived in Hezhou and met with General Hu, claiming that he was the envoy sent by General Zhang. ”

Zhang's father and son glanced at each other, confused, Zhang Han had already said, "The envoy we sent? Topaz Tan? It's ridiculous, we haven't even seen what Topaz Tan looks like, when did he go to Hezhou? ”

"He Kui, Huang Yutan went to Hezhou, what did he say?" Uncle Zhang's expression was solemn, knowing that at this time, he was no longer entangled in whether Huang Yutan was sent from Jinzhou, but to figure out what tricks Huang Yutan was going to play.

He Kui looked very flustered, stabilized his mood for a moment, and then said: "Huang Yutan claimed to be the envoy sent by General Zhang, and he told General Hu that you are going to send troops to help, sneak into Hezhou, and then take advantage of the fact that the Chu army is not on guard, and sneak attack at night." Huang Yutan also said that General Zhang told General Hu that when the time came, there was no need for the Hezhou Xunzi battalion to fight, and the Jinzhou soldiers and horses would take Chu Huan's head alone. ”

Uncle Zhang clenched his fists, his eyes showed a cold light, and he said coldly: "Then you believe Huang Yutan's words?" Did he take out the general's seal? ”

"No news."

"And you believe him?" Uncle Zhang sneered: "If Chu Huan sends someone over at will, you will believe that it was sent by this general?" ”

He Kui shook his head and said: "We also had doubts about the origin of Huang Yutan at the beginning, but this person was able to paint and paint with both hands in public, and everyone decided that he must be Huang Yutan." And we all know that Huang Yutan's ancestral home is Jinzhou, he is a native of Jinzhou, and he claims that General Zhang is kind to him, so he serves under General Zhang, Huang Yutan is a famous man in the northwest, how can we suspect that he is deceiving us? ”

Uncle Zhang slapped the table seriously, and said angrily: "It's really confused, Huang Yutan, it must have been sent by Chu Huan, you guys have been tricked." Then he asked, "How is the battle situation in Hezhou?" ”

He Kui said: "When the Chu army first arrived, they stormed Hezhou City, suffered a lot of losses, retreated, and then beat the drum for several days, but they didn't see every time they went out of battle, only occasionally rushed to Hezhou City, and when we were fully prepared, they quickly evacuated ......!" ”

"It's a tired tactic." Uncle Zhang sighed.

He Kui nodded and said: "That's right, they want to use the strategy of exhausting the army, although the Hezhou defenders are tired, but the Chu army itself may not be tired." Just before He Mou set off, we found out that there was an epidemic in the military camp of the Chu army, and it spread very rapidly......! ”

Uncle Zhang frowned, groaned slightly, his body shook, and immediately asked, "Hu Zongmao believes that the Chu army is really infected with the plague?" ”

"The spies found out that they did have someone infected with the plague, and they specifically isolated the patients." He Kui looked at Zhang Shuyan and asked, "General Zhang, is there a problem with this?" ”

"There's a big problem." Uncle Zhang Yan sighed, "Chu Huan didn't think about really using force to capture Hezhou City at the beginning, their initial strong attack, and even the use of tired troops, was just a pretentious gesture, making Hu Zongmao think that the Chu army was really attacking the city with all its might......!" ”

Zhang Han looked at Zhang Shuyan and asked, "Father, are you saying that the Chu army is pretending to attack the city?" ”

"The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real." Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the appearance of Huang Yutan, I wouldn't think like that." But since Huang Yutan pretended to be the envoy of Jinzhou, it proved that Chu Huan had already had a trick. The more he showed that he was trying his best to attack the city, the more the defenders would not suspect that Chu Huan had other plans. ”

He Kui hurriedly asked, "General Zhang, do you mean that Chu Huan has another trick?" ”

"It's true that you haven't figured it out yet." Zhang Shuyan sat on the chair, his expression was solemn, and he sighed: "The general has always underestimated Chu Huan, this person is really very deep in the city, from the beginning, I am afraid that he will know that Hezhou City is well prepared, with his soldiers and horses, it is difficult to storm Hezhou City, so he planned early in the morning and prepared to lead the snake out of the hole." ”

"Lure the snake out of the hole?" He Kui shook his head and said: "General Zhang, General Hu will never go out of the city, even if Chu Huan uses all his tricks, General Hu will not be able to defend it." ”

Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "That's just because you don't know Hu Zongmao yet, at least Chu Huan knows Hu Zongmao better than you." ”

Zhang Han didn't seem to have fully figured it out yet, and asked, "Father, how did Chu Huan lead the snake out of the hole?" Hu Zongmao prides himself on being the best at guarding the city, he has a cautious personality, He Kui may not be wrong, he should not go out of the city. ”

Zhang Shuyan looked at his son and asked, "Then do you know why the Chu army was infected with the plague?" ”

Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "Is there too many soldiers and horses in the army, and some people in the middle have long been infected with the plague?" Recently, the weather has been very hot, and it is said that the plague is more likely to spread on hot days. ”

"Absolutely not." Zhang Shuyan shook his head and said: "This is Chu Huan's strategy, the Chu army is infected with the plague, it must be fake, that is the first bait that Chu Huan threw to Hu Zongmao." ”

"That second bait ......!" Zhang Han hadn't finished speaking, he had already understood, "Golden State reinforcements, is it the second bait?" ”

"Not bad." Uncle Zhang Yan sighed: "This second bait is even more unbearable for Hu Zongmao than the first bait. Chu Huan's temperament towards Hu Zongmao, that is to understand the bones, even the grievances between Hu Zongmao and me, Chu Huan is also well aware, knows himself and the enemy, and is invincible in a hundred battles, Chu Huan knows himself and knows the other ......! He shook his head, and his expression became more and more solemn.

He Kui also seemed to understand, and muttered: "What General Zhang means is that General Hu has already moved in his heart when he sees that the Chu army is exhausted and the plague has broken out, but for the sake of caution, even if he is tempted, he may not be able to send troops, but once he knows that General Zhang's soldiers and horses are preparing to sneak attack, there is also the possibility of leaving the city?" ”

Zhang Shuyan nodded and said, "That's true." Hu Zongmao has always had a prejudice against me, how could he let the general take the credit for the war that took place on the border of Hezhou? In his opinion, the Chu army was dragged out by him, the outbreak of the plague in the Chu army, and God helped him, if I sent troops, in his opinion, it was to snatch his fruit, and he would never agree. ”

Zhang Han said: "Father, that is to say, Chu Huan used Huang Yutan to pretend to be our messenger and told Hu Zongmao the news that we were going to send troops, and then ...... He acted by himself, let his soldiers and horses pretend to be our army, and sneak attack at night, Hu Zongmao saw our army sneak attack on Chu Ying, he must be afraid of being robbed of the credit by his father, he is not willing to be lonely, and he will inevitably go out of the city? ”

"This is Hu Zongmao's temperament, Chu Huan has already seen Hu Zongmao through." Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "He Kui, you came this time, it was Hu Zongmao who asked you to come and persuade us not to send troops?" ”

"Exactly."

"Ben would have guessed correctly." Uncle Zhang shook his head, "He never thought of letting us send troops to help, and he was even worried that we would rob him of his credit if we sent troops." He stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the main entrance of the outer hall, looked up at the gray sky, and after a long time, he sighed: "It's too late, He Kui, I'm afraid that if you are halfway through, Hezhou City will have been broken by Chu Huan...... Chu Huan, good handwriting, good handwriting......! ”
