Chapter 454: Hidden Standby
Although Wen Hui is one of the ten carved arrows, he is a literati and has no power to tie the chicken, not to mention Ma Teng, a tiger general who ranked first in Xiliang when he was young, even if he is an ordinary person, Wen Hui may not be able to beat him.
Therefore, Ma Teng's big-eared scraper directly stunned Wen Hui, his mouth opened wide, his left cheekbone was swollen like a bun, shaking his head, staring at Ma Teng with big eyes, his face was full of grievances and panic.
"Speak! Give the old man an explanation! Ma Teng roared angrily at Wen Hui.
Wen Hui sniffled and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his mouth was full of 'woo woo woo' sounds, and he couldn't say it.
Behind Ma Teng, a soldier stepped forward and said: "Old general, Wen Zhonglang's chin seems to have made you crooked...... Speechless......"
Ma Teng was stunned when he heard this, squinted his eyes to look at Wen Hui, and said, "What about being so unresistant?" A slap on the jaw crooked? ”
Wen Hui nodded vigorously, and the mouth of 'woo woo~~' indicated that he was really uncomfortable tight, and his mouth cramped and couldn't speak.
Ma Teng snorted heavily, walked in front of Wen Hui, squinted at his chin carefully with a pair of old eyes, and then raised his hand and shone Wen Hui's right cheek.
"Smack~~"
"Ahh
But listening to Wen Hui's scream, he turned around twice before standing still, and now his cheeks on both sides were swollen, and he got out of a vulgar version of the cottage red panda fat man in the ditch, looking honest and cute!
"General Ma! Why are you doing that? One ear scraper isn't enough? Why slap me again! The corners of Wen Hui's mouth were bleeding, and he shouted with a sad and aggrieved face.
Ma Teng sniffed vigorously and said, "The first ear scraper just now, your mouth was crooked, and I saw that you couldn't speak, so the old man had to hit another one on the opposite side and hug you right over!" ”
Wen Hui: "............"
Let's talk about it. Ma Teng didn't care about Wen Hui's sad eyes, he found a wooden pier to sit down, pointed at Wen Hui, and said: "Say, explain to the old man, Governor Zhao asked you to guard the grain hoard, you didn't swear to resist, but abandoned the grain hoarding to escape by yourself, and when the old man went to rescue you, he was almost trapped." You explain to me the ......, I can't explain it clearly, the old man is the governor of the capital and punishes the crime according to the law! ”
Wen Hui rubbed his red and swollen cheeks, sighed, shook his head, and said, "General Ma has lived in Xizhou for a long time, who was the person who robbed the grain hoards that night, presumably you have already made up your mind a conclusion, right?" ”
Ma Teng snorted when he heard this, and said, "Then it goes without saying, the one who hijacked the grain hoard." It's the Qiang people! Looking at the genus of its clothing, it is the soldiers and horses of the Qiang people of the three major tribes of Xiping Koji, Ding Linghu and Lindai, and there are a lot of them. There are about tens of thousands. ”
Wen Hui nodded and said, "Old general, don't hide it, Wen Hui retreated in a panic that night. There may be a suspicion that the enemy is very strong, but the most important thing is to wait until a certain person sees that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side are all Qiang soldiers. Wen felt that there was a major conspiracy in this, so he retreated first in order to preserve his strength, and Wen Hui's crime was unforgivable, and he should judge himself in front of the lord and Zhao Dadu in the future. ”
"Major conspiracy...... ...... preserve strength? Ma Teng frowned when he heard this, and said, "What kind of conspiracy can there be?" ”
Wen Hui sighed and said, "The old general, the anti-king Song Jian, is famous among the Qiang people?" ”
When Ma Teng heard this, he smiled and said: "The Qiang clan spear and fierce horse have always only respected the strong, Song Jian's bow and horse are rusty, and his martial arts are mediocre, how can he have any reputation among the Qiang people!" ”
Wen Hui nodded and said, "Since Song Jian is not very famous among the Qiang clan, why was he able to summon Xiping Koji, Ding Linghu and other Qiang clans to rebel early?" Isn't there a conspiracy in this? Doesn't the old general think it's strange? ”
When Ma Teng heard this, he touched his chin and thought about it for a while, and said strangely: "After you say this, it's really ...... Song Jian has nothing to do with the Qiang people...... How could they help the Song Dynasty build the rebellion of the imperial court? ”
When Wen Hui heard this, he said, "May I ask the old general, are the three clans who hijacked my grain hoard that night familiar with the old general?" ”
Ma Teng shook his head vigorously when he heard this, and said: "Although the old man has some reputation among the Qiang people, he is not so familiar with every clan......
Saying this, Ma Teng was suddenly stunned, he seemed to have reacted to something, and looked at Wen Hui in surprise.
Wen Hui sighed helplessly: "What General Ma said is very true, it is impossible for Song Jian to instigate the Qiang rebellion, today, there are not many people who can instigate the Qiang people, either the old general's father and son, or Han Sui or his important subordinates, the old general's father and son are naturally impossible, and now Han Sui is dead, so the person who instigated the Qiang rebellion must be Yan Xing!" ”
"Huh?" Ma Teng gasped, Yan Xing's rebellion connected with the Qiang tribe aside, just saying that he controlled Jincheng and stifled Zhao Yunxi's retreat from Song Jian, this alone can make Zhao Yun feel pain for a long time, plus the two soldiers and horses of the Qiang tribe and Song Jian, not to mention Zhao Yun, even the immortals, will definitely be defeated.
Thinking of this, Ma Teng suddenly got together and said, "No, I have to save my son-in-law!" ”
"Stop!" Wen Hui opened his mouth to stop him, and said: "Old general, I have been defeated in the mountains for a long time, if Yan Xing really colluded with the Qiang and Song Jian to rebel, at this time General Zhao's soldiers and horses must have been defeated by them, and the back road of Liangzhou has been cut off, we are now even blocked with news, even if we go, we will be sent to death in vain, not only can we not help Zhao Dadu, but even our own lives have to be taken." ”
Ma Teng heard this: "Then what now?" Can't I watch my son-in-law being killed by these thieves?! ”
Wen Hui sighed and said: "Now the news is blocked, although I sent spies, but the situation in Guanzhong is still unknown, but this matter is by no means something that the two of us can solve, Song Jian, Yan Xing, Qiang people, maybe Hanzhong Zhang Lu, these people are added together, it is enough to make trouble in the entire Guanzhong, and if Yan Xing wants to rebel, he must be fully prepared, at least he must have ensured that he can quickly take Liangzhou before he dares to start an incident...... I left without a fight in the grain hoard, and secretly recruited the defeated army here, that is, I knew that the current situation in the road had fallen into decline, and it was useless to fight to the death, so it was better to preserve my strength as much as possible, and refuse to wait and see the situation in Liangzhou in the northwest, in order to make a move at a critical moment! ”
When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, pondering and pondering, only to feel that Wen Hui was good at intelligence among the ten carved arrows, and he was indeed extraordinary.
In fact, after Yuan Shang crossed back, he disrupted some spatial effects, so that Wen Hui, who was supposed to be under Cao Cao's command, was directly invested in Yuan's account from Taiyuan.
Wen Hui in history, under Cao Cao, although not as dazzling and outstanding as Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, is also an extremely remarkable figure. He was filial piety and honesty, in Cao Wei successively served as the magistrate of the three counties, the minister of the two counties and the history of the two states, and his political achievements were all among the first, especially when he was the governor of Yangzhou and Sun Quan, for the Jingzhou Guan Yu and Sun Quan's two military forces were extremely accurate, Cao Cao had personally instructed Hefei Zhang Liao and other famous generals, to Wu Zhushi, to be gentle and restore the meaning of the most important.
Ma Teng snorted and said, "According to what you mean, let's collect the defeated army here?" And then wait and see the situation in Guanzhong? ”
Wen Hui shook his head and said: "Originally, I was planning to gather the defeated army and sit and watch the situation, but the appearance of the old general was really beyond my expectations. ”
Ma Teng was curious: "What are you waiting for?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "Wait for the lord to rush to Guanzhong and control the overall situation of Yongliang!" The lord is competing with the major forces in the east, and we are secretly dormant in the west, gathering the defeated army, disintegrating the Qiang people's forces, and helping the lord at the critical moment! ”
Ma Teng thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Although the idea is good, what about the grain and grass?" You can't starve to death in the mountains and forests. ”
Wen Hui nodded and said, "What General Ma said is that there are only two ways out of the grain and grass...... One is to ask the old general to start contacting a few Qiang clans who are friendly with you as soon as possible, bring them over, and let them supply us with grain and grass. ”
Ma Teng touched his chin when he heard this, and said, "Although the old man likes the second way very much...... But everything should be walked on multiple legs, and you might as well try both! ”
"The old general is really thoughtful! coincides with Wen. ”
*************************
In December of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shang handed over the affairs of Hebei government affairs to Fu Zhu and others, and he himself led the soldiers led by Xiahou Yuan, Zhong Xuan, Pang De, and Ma Jia brothers to Bingzhou.
Entering Jinyang City, Yuan Shang entered the Jinyang County Shou Mansion under the leadership of Gao Gan, without taking a sip of tea or moving the meal, Yuan Shang directly asked Gao Gan about the situation in Guanzhong.
Gao Gan was led by Yuan Shang during this time, and he has always watched everything in Guanzhong.
"Lord, the spies investigated, now Zhao Yun is under the control of Yan Xing, Yan Xing put him under house arrest, and in his name to surrender the counties, persuade the small and medium-sized princes in Guan, attack the remaining Liangzhou counties, and open the Liangchang Road, lead Song Jian 100,000 troops and Qiang elite 50,000, Yan Xing himself gathered the garrisons of the counties of Liangzhou, about 50,000 people, is currently starting to attack Yongzhou, and due to the surrender of various places, the soldiers and horses are still increasing, all the way is like a bamboo, it is about to hit the west of Jingzhao, most of the territory of Guanzhong has been lost, The situation is urgent! ”
Yuan Shang frowned: "Jingzhao Zhixi, do you mean that Yan Xing and them are about to hit Chang'an?" ”
"yes!" Gao Gan nodded solemnly and said, "The situation is very urgent, if you enter Jingzhao, Yan Xing will definitely take Chang'an directly!" If Chang'an is lost, the land in the middle of the pass ......"
Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "The soldiers and horses I need, my cousin has helped me prepare them." ”
"30,000 elite soldiers, they are already ready, just wait for the lord to dispatch."
"............" (To be continued......)
