Chapter 474: Victory Without a Fight
As the person in charge of the left-behind camp in Xuefeng Mountain, Captain Chen Shi has been a little restless recently. He followed the Zhennan general Lu Dai to fight in the north for many years, and admired Lu Dai's ability to use troops very much. But this time Lu Dai went on an expedition to Yuanxi, but he felt that it was very inappropriate.
In fact, anyone with a little common sense will find it inappropriate. The army went deep into the mountains for nearly a thousand miles, and traveled long distances, which could only be replenished by the water, not to mention those rapids and rapids, once those barbarians attacked on both banks, it was an unbearable pain for the army that stretched for miles along the river.
This point is deeply experienced by Chen Shi, who fought in Jiaozhou. The terrain of Jiaozhou is similar to here, the barbarians rarely fight head-on, they will use the terrain to constantly harass, sneak attacks out of nowhere, and it is enough to collapse people for a long time. The advantages of the Han people are in armament, training, positional warfare, and attacking and defending in the city, and the Han people are not good at dealing with such tactics. Therefore, the dividing point between the Han and the barbarians has always been in the Chenyang area, Chenyang to the east is the territory of the Han people, and Chenyang to the west is the territory of the barbarians.
Now, the barbarian retreated to the Three Valleys, abandoning the old nest that had been operating for many years, which seemed to be retreating, but in fact it was luring the enemy deeper. For Chen Shi, the barbarian, who has always been brave and ruthless, is willing to retreat as advance, which in itself is a very dangerous signal. It was precisely because of this that he did not understand that Lu Dai Weishenme would do this. It stands to reason that the princess has been rescued, and there is no point in going deeper into the mountains to fight the barbarians, so what if Weishenme continues to march into the army?
Chen Shi didn't understand, but he believed that Lu Dai must have his reasons for doing this, so he just faithfully carried out Lu Dai's orders. Defend the Snow Peak Mountain camp.
A personal guard came in and reported: "Captain, Wuyang is here." ”
Chen Shi was stunned and hesitated for a moment. Wuyang is a transit station set up by Lu Dai, and the food and ordnance sent to the front line will be temporarily stored there, Lu Dai has not set off for three months, and the materials stored in Wuyang should be enough, what are the people from Wuyang doing?
Chen Shi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to bring people in. The people who came were two barbarians, whom Chen Shi knew, and were the leaders of the two small tribes around him. Follow the Xiongxi tribe to serve Lu Dai.
"On whose orders did you come here?"
"General Tang's order." A brute pulled out an official document from his bosom. His hands were handed in front of Chen Shi. Chen Shi took it and saw that it was an official document from Tang Shi who asked him to transport grain, which said that Lu Dai had trapped Wei Ba in Jinping Mountain. However, it is very difficult to attack. Can only besiege. It is estimated that it will take a long time to see the results, and the materials stored in Wuyang are not enough, so I have to send another batch when Chen Shi. There are not enough troops at the front. Wuyang is also very important, and he can't draw too many troops, so he can only send these barbarians to respond, and Chen Shi has to arrange trustworthy people to carry out the heavy task of escorting grain and grass.
At the end of the official document, there is Tang Zhi's signature, but the official document seems to have entered the water, and this signature is a little dizzy and not very clear. However, the sealing mud on the outside of the official document is complete, and there is the mark of Tang Shi on it, which can be confirmed by Chen Shi.
When it came to the battle ahead, Chen Shi did not hesitate, and immediately allocated a batch of grain, grass and ordnance, and sent a thousand elites to set off with the three hundred barbarians who came to meet him.
After the fleet left the camp of Xuefeng Mountain, it rushed straight to Wuyang. That night, they were stationed not far from Yuanshui. After setting up the camp, the two lieutenants returned to their boats, set up the wine and food, and were about to have a drink, when someone came to report that the two barbarian leaders had visited.
The two lieutenants glanced at each other and smiled in unison. Although the barbarians fought together with the Wu army, the treatment in all aspects was not the same, and the Wu army not only did not provide weapons and equipment to the barbarians, but even the military rations were controlled very strictly. If the barbarians wanted to be fed, they could only pay bribes to the generals of the Wu army who were with them, in order to get some more food quotas. This kind of thing is not uncommon within the Wu army, everyone knows it, and it is one of the common methods used by the generals of the Wu army to blackmail the barbarians.
A captain with a long face, Li Dang, put his head out of the window and looked out, and saw two barbarian leaders standing respectfully outside, followed by two young women, although in winter, they did not wear the kind of clothes that showed their bellies, but their slender figures were still faintly visible under their unique clothes. Behind them, four young and sturdy brutes waited quietly with gifts in their hands, their heads bowed.
Li Dang retracted his head and smiled at his companion Wu Yong, who had a round face: "These two barbarians have finally opened their minds, not only knowing how to send money, but also sending two women." We have someone to warm up the quilt today. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then someone called the brute in. After entering the cabin, the barbarians politely saluted, saying that the allocated rations were insufficient, and the troops were not full, so could they ask the adults to give them more? In order to express his gratitude, he is willing to give two small gifts.
Li Wu and the others agreed, and immediately asked people to allocate some more rations to the barbarians. The leader of the barbarians thanked him again and again, bowed and retreated, but the two barbarian girls and the four barbarians holding gifts did not leave, and stood quietly aside. Wu Yong was a little unhappy, glared at the four barbarians, and shouted, "You still don't want to leave?" ”
"My lord, we'll leave right away." A young barbarian smiled, "However, let's close the window for the adults first." As he spoke, he calmly walked to the side of the cabin, took the support, and lowered the window. The other brute also walked to the other side and closed the window on the other side.
Although Li Kang and Wu Yong were a little strange about the behavior of these two barbarians, they didn't think much about it. There are two young girls in front, and they don't want other subordinates to see the spring light, so it is also appropriate to close the window. They exchanged a lewd look with each other, and were about to speak, but the two barbarians who had closed the window suddenly made a move, restrained them from behind, and the bright short knives rested on their necks, and the blades were cold, which made the two captains feel cold all over their bodies, and they did not dare to move.
"You ...... Who are you? ”
"My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Ba." Wei Ba, who was dressed in barbarian costumes, sat down with a smile and waved his hand at Qing Suo'er and Nanhu: "You also sit." He snapped his fingers at Dun Wu and Wei Xing again: "Tie them up first, gag them, and cut his throat if anyone is not honest." ”
"Whoa." Dun Wu and Wei Xing whispered in response, tearing a piece of cloth from Du Wei's body. Gagged their mouths. As soon as Li Dang and Wu Yong heard that the barbarian in front of them was actually Wei Ba who should have been surrounded by Lu Dai in Jinping Mountain, they were immediately pale with fright and sweated coldly. Although his mouth was gagged and he couldn't shout, his round eyes exposed the fear in his heart.
"I just need one person to work with." Wei Ba picked up the wine glass, and Nanhu immediately picked up the wine spoon and added him a glass of wine. Wei Ba took a leisurely sip of wine: "Which of you wants?" ”
Li Dang and Wu Yong looked at each other, and nodded busily. They all heard what Wei Ba meant, as long as one person, of course the other person only had one result. None of them wanted to die. Even if one's own survival means the death of one's companions.
"Good." Wei Ba pointed at Wu Yong: "You stay first." Drag that one to the bottom compartment and watch. ”
Dun Wu responded, and when he mentioned that Li Dang, he left. Li Dang struggled desperately, his mouth whining, and his hot eyes staring at Wei Ba. Blink desperately. Wei Ba smiled. "I'm not going to kill you for a while. If he is disobedient. I'm going to use you again. ”
Li Dare listened, then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and let Dunwu carry it down to the bottom cabin. Wu Yong's face turned even paler.
"If I let go of your mouth. Are you sure you won't shout nonsense? ”
Wu Yong nodded repeatedly.
Wei Ba gave Wei Xing a look, Wei Xing nodded, tied Wu Yong's legs with a rope and fixed them on the couch, and then pulled out the cloth from his mouth. Wu Yong inhaled heavily, and it took a long time to recover his strength.
"What do you call it?"
"My lord, my name is Wu Yong, and another one is called Li Kang, just call me Ah Yong."
"Okay, Captain Wu, I want you to write a military report asking for help, saying that you are surrounded by thousands of barbarian troops and are in urgent need of rescue, please send someone to rescue you immediately. You know what I mean? ”
Wu Yong nodded repeatedly. Wei Ba asked people to prepare pen and ink, Wu Yong wrote the military report, and after Wei Ba read it, he let him use the seal, and asked him to call his husband and ask him to arrange for someone to immediately send this military report to the camp of Xuefeng Mountain.
"My lord, what else can I do for you?" Wu Yong laughed.
"Drink with me." Wei Ba raised his wine glass with a smile, and smiled at Nanhu and Qing Suo'er: "Two girls, please sing a tune, so that people outside can know that Du Wei is very comfortable and happy now." He turned his face to Wu Yong again and said, "If Du Wei thinks it sounds good, please don't hesitate to praise them." You also know, the little girl's family likes to be praised by others. ”
"Adults have a point, they have a point." Wu Yong's face was flattering: "These two girls are so beautiful, I know at a glance that they must also sing well, how can I not praise them." ”
Qing Suo'er and Nanhu glared at him, but they didn't excuse themselves, cleared their throats, and sang first. Wu Yong really cooperated, clapping his hands from time to time, and praising loudly, looking happy.
Listening to the singing and cheering from the big boat, the Wu soldiers fell asleep in envy, jealousy and hatred, and no one realized that danger had befallen them, and the dangerous enemy was beside them.
At dawn the next day, Wei Ba asked Li Yong to order the Wu army, which had just woken up, to go ashore in batches, and took the initiative to enter the ambush circle, easily disarming the thousand Wu army. Wu Jun had just woken up from his sleep, and before he could figure out what was going on, he became a captive, shivering in the cold wind, waiting for an unknown fate. The more than 300 barbarian soldiers who had just returned to obedience were overjoyed, and while collecting the belongings of Wu Jun, they were excitedly discussing with each other. They have fought a war with the Wu people for so many years, and they have never won so easily, and without even seeing a drop of blood, a thousand Wu troops have become their prisoners.
The god general is the god general, this method is simply unpredictable, no wonder the ancestor of the pan gourd has to worship him as the master. With such a god general fighting, what enemy is invincible? (To be continued......)
PS: Ask for a monthly pass!
Lao Zhuang couldn't help but vomit. Could it be that asking for votes is only for a single chapter? Lao Zhuang added more, it is not as useful as a single chapter of a hundred crosses. If everyone really likes single chapters, Lao Zhuang will also practice writing single chapters in the future, which should be no more difficult than writing stories. It's just that doing this really makes people like Lao Zhuang very disappointed.
