Chapter 7: A dilemma

The situation on Gutian's side changed suddenly, and the wolf soldiers who were biased towards Wang Zhenhu in the past began to focus on attacking Wang Zhenhu's army, and Wei Yinbao was not like before, saying that Wang Zhenhu was a lackey traitor with the help of the strength of the Ming officers and soldiers, but he took advantage of the fire to rob and devour Wang Zhenhu's territory.

Wang Zhenhu is losing and retreating, and the territory is constantly decreasing. But in fact, he didn't seem to be down, Wang Zhenhu's temperament was slowly honed after taking charge of the overall situation, not as good as before, and he quickly gathered his troops and retreated backwards, although he was in a hurry to march, he also preserved his strength, and did not lose his troops.

As a result, a large number of troops were nested in a relatively narrow area, but their strength increased a lot. Wang Zhenhu's famous saying is: The land is dead, the people are alive, and if the land is lost, it can be fought back, and when the people are gone, they will completely stop cooking.

In fact, there is another reason why Wang Zhenhu can develop such a character, that is, the lessons he learned after the previous war with Lu Bing. At that time, in order to get the position of commanding several rebel armies, Wang Zhenhu listened to the empty promises of the leaders of various roads, and drove Lu Bing out of the base camp in the war with Lu Bing. As a result, the soldiers were all gone, no one kept their previous promises, only Lin Yinhan supported himself, and he just wanted to restore himself, and he didn't really want to make himself king. Therefore, having soldiers in hand is everything, and there is no need to be able to do it for a while.

Later, Lin Yinhan was also forced by Webster's army to stay. Even though Wang Zhenhu saw it so clearly, he was still very grateful to Lin Yinhan and kept letting Lin Yinhan be his deputy. and to him as brothers, without distinction between one another. Generally speaking, Wang Zhenhu is still a good person who knows how to repay his kindness. It's a pity that good people are destined to be difficult to achieve great things.

Late at night, Wang Zhenhu and Lin Yinhan looked at the map, studying how to block the attack of the wolf soldiers with the flanks, and then mobilized the main force to tear apart the offensive of the Wei's army, so as to fight a way out. At this moment, someone suddenly picked up the account and entered, and Wang Zhenhu and Lin Yinhan turned back one after another. scolded angrily: "Why don't you break in without reporting!" What a crime! ”

After speaking, he was stunned, because the person in front of him and the two of them knew each other, and it was the so-called heaven in the Thirteen Secret Secrets. White feathers. Bai Yu smiled: "Two brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Wang Zhenhu said lightly, and he sat back in his chair. Lazily looking at Bai Yu. The white feather under the light didn't look real, but the whole silhouette was unusually evil.

Lin Yinhan quietly stepped back, his hand holding down the scimitar placed behind him. Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "Brother Lin, if I were you, I wouldn't think about being rude, what do you say?" ”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, there must be something wrong with you coming late at night, hurry up." Wang Zhenhu urged.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." This time, I have come to help you accomplish the great cause of unification. ”

Wang Zhenhu patted the desk and said, "I've said it all, let's talk nonsense if we have something to say." Why are you still talking nonsense? Help us, will you be so kind? I don't believe it, I think it's to help yourself, right? But listening to the meaning of your words, you seem to have mastered some strength, I said ugly things in my head, this time I don't listen to your nonsense, there is no soldier and money, Hugh wants me to send troops. ”

"That is, you don't have any soldiers to come out, you are now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect yourself, why are you still so rampant? I'm talking yes and no. Bai Yu heard that Wang Zhenhu was not speaking well, and his tone became stiff.

"You" Wang Zhenhu's eloquence is not good, and he doesn't speak anymore, he keeps brushing his beard, the last time he fought with Lu Bing, his beard and eyebrows and even his hair were burned off, which was finally newly left. If you don't have a hairless mouth and don't do things firmly, don't look at your age, you also need to grow a beard to show stability and majesty.

Bai Yu said: "I will say a way, tomorrow at noon, the wolf soldiers will stop the attack, you will borrow the way from the wolf soldiers' camp, go around to the flank and rear of Wei Yinbao and Wei Chaofeng and start the attack, of course, on the surface, you still have to leave some people to make a feint to draw the enemy's attention." What do you think of this approach? ”

"What can you say about the wolf soldiers? Even if the court speaks, I'm afraid it's not easy to use, right? Lin Yinhan said.

Bai Yu smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter if I speak well or not, the important thing is that they stop the attack at noon tomorrow, I said unceremoniously, I have reached an agreement with the big boss of the wolf soldiers." ”

"You and Wei Zhennan?" Lin Yinhan asked, Wei Zhennan is the big leader of the wolf soldiers, Bai Yu said disdainfully: "Wei Zhennan is just a little mess, he also deserves it." ”

Wang Zhenhu suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that you caught the line of Lu Bing of the imperial court?" We are a rebel army, could it be that you are uniting us with the imperial court, a kind of recruitment in disguise? ”

"You don't care if you recruit an or not, in short, we are all profitable. Rest assured that your reputation will not be affected, we are thinking that we are snakes, and we are not cooperating with the imperial court in an open and honest manner. Defeated Wei Yinbao and Wei Chaofeng, you are your Gutian King, and I will also come to a piece of land, let's live in peace with the well water and not the river water. The imperial court doesn't care about us, and of course it doesn't pay us military salaries, we make our own living, and we don't have to do anything with others and don't need to be commanded by the imperial court, is it so important to cooperate temporarily now? Bai Yu said.

Wang Zhenhu shook his head in disbelief, but his tone softened significantly: "Lu Bing will agree?" I don't think Lu Bing will cooperate with me at all, this is a trick Don't be a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, if you look for death, don't take our brother. ”

"The reason why Lu Bing compromised, naturally he has his reasons, and the mountain people have their own clever plans, and there is no need to say more." Bai Yu turned his head to leave, and said as he walked: "Anyway, the matter has been told to you, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, what you do depends on you at noon tomorrow." If you don't agree, I will cooperate with Wei Yinbao, and tomorrow the two of us will attack together, and then you have to think about whether you can withstand it yourself. ”

Bai Yu left, Lin Yinhan went out to see, the guards outside the door were all crooked and fainted outside the door, and they all woke up with a splash of cold water, Bai Yu did not hurt their lives, it seemed that they really wanted to cooperate. Is this a ploy, or is it true? Wang Zhenhu and Lin Yinhan fell into deep thought.

—————————————————————————————————————

At noon on the second day, the sun was shining, and the wolf soldiers who were fighting the sky and waving the flag in the morning suddenly died down. Wang Zhenhu looked at the direction where the wolf soldiers were stationed, and his heart was always about to move, and the first step that Bai Yu said was really true. So do you want to do it, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, but if you do it rashly, in case it is a trap, all this is just an illusion for Wang Zhenhu to see, and it will be too late to cry at that time. How, exactly? Wang Zhenhu ran out of ideas.

Yes, throw the copper plate.

Wang Zhenhu took out a copper coin minted by the rebel army, made a mark on one side, and then threw it into the sky. Those who have a way will attack according to Bai Yu's words, and those who have no way will continue to nest here. The copperplate fell to the ground, and it stood upright on the ground, not falling in any direction. Wang Zhenhu leaned down to see that the copper plate was sandwiched between two small stones. Wang Zhenhu sighed for a long time, looked up at the sky, and yelled: "God, don't even give a hint, I'm your mother!" ”

Wang Zhenhu didn't care how he scolded his mother's power, on the other hand, Wei Yinbao and others couldn't sit still. They were killed yesterday, and after simply setting up camp, they were ready to watch the brainless wolf soldiers attack first, and then wave their own swords to make up for it. Unexpectedly, the wolf soldiers suddenly stopped quietly, Wei Chaofeng was worried that it was a plan, and Wei Yinbao took care of the grain and grass.

There is not much grain and grass, and it will last for two days at most, so you have to hurry up and replenish it, and the way to replenish it is to grab it. If you win, you will rob the enemy, and if you lose, you will rob the people. Throwing out the time of the day to go to the road and tidying up, that is to say, it is best to be able to end the battle today, but where is it so easy to solve it quickly.

Since he couldn't count on the wolf soldiers, Wei Yinbao ordered a tentative attack.

It doesn't matter if this fight is made, Wang Zhenhu immediately led the troops to resist, Wei Yinbao sent not many people, and Wang Zhenhu sent very few people and horses. Wang Zhenhu saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to make up his mind: fight, believe in Bai Yu again, seek wealth and danger, and whether Lao Tzu is alive or dead depends on this time.

Wei Yinbao sent another 500 men and horses to press it, but he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, although Wang Zhenhu had been defeated and retreated recently, but after all, they were all started by the Gutian Righteous Army, and their respective strengths were very clear, and their subordinates were all bloody and brave men, but how could they be soft and soft in today's fight, could it be a plan to lure the enemy?

Wei Yinbao told Wei Chaofeng about this idea, and Wei Chaofeng immediately became alert, and the two of them escorted them with a thousand men and horses, and headed towards Wang Zhenhu's defense line, wanting to see what tricks Wang Zhenhu was playing. When they came to the front line, the two of them hid behind the boulder and peeked secretly, only then did they put their minds at ease, it turned out that the scout came to report that Wang Zhenhu did not play any tricks, because the one who commanded the defense on the front line was Wang Zhenhu's right-hand man, Lin Yinhan, one of the four former leaders.

Wang Zhenhu would never leave Lin Yinhan to run, as for the reason, this is very simple. No one knows whether Wang Zhenhu is really righteous or not, but on the surface, Wang Zhenhu is very good to Lin Yinhan, divides power and profits, and does not snub this person who helped him before, even now Lin Yinhan's strength is no longer worth mentioning.

Lin Yinhan's role is a benchmark, everyone knows that as long as they are willing to follow Wang Zhenhu to work hard, Wang Zhenhu will be good to them, Lin Yinhan is an example. Therefore, in the eyes of Wei Chaofeng and Wei Yinbao, Wang Zhenhu would never use Lin Yinhan as a trick to lure the enemy, because as soon as Lin Yinhan died, Wang Zhenhu's righteous banner would fall.

The two led the troops back, and then they were still boiling frogs in warm water, attacking tepidly, and the other party was also lazily defending. The Wei family thought well, they didn't really want to attack, they just created an atmosphere of war, so that the group of brainless wolf soldiers smelled blood, ignited the desire to fight, and misjudged that this was a good time to attack, profitable to attack, and the Wei army was the one who took advantage of the fisherman.

Wang Zhenhu, let's see who laughs the most. Wei Yinbao thought viciously. (To be continued......)
