Guo Conglong won a great victory and retreated to the city.

Deng She gave up the drumsticks, ordered people to remove the war drums, and taught the guards to bring good wine, and waited for Guo Conglong to catch up with the city tower, and led everyone to meet and drink to celebrate. He personally took Guo Conglong's hand, walked to the battlements of the city wall, and boasted to the Yuan army. Ordered the three armies to shout outside the city: "This is my Han'er Jia Yong General!" Ask Pehuer, do you want to accept it? ”

"Han'er" is the name given to the Han people by different races. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the words "er" and "ren" were common, and "Han'er" was the same as "Hanren", which originally had no meaning of praise or disparagement, and was regarded as a synonym. It's just that, just as the Han people call the alien race "Hu'er", in the mouths of nomads, the word "Han'er" is often inevitably a little contemptuous.

Deng She was at the head of the city, and his spirit was vivid, boasting of Guo Conglong. The Yuan soldiers under the head of the city turned their horses on their backs, panicking. The thousands of sample soldiers and two teams of cavalry, while scrambling to clean up the battlefield and collect casualties, retreated in a hurry to the rear. But no one came out to answer.

Dunshe was in a good mood and laughed. The civil and military ministers recalled what they had just seen, and they were all excited, even if they were weak people such as Ji Zongzhou and Zhang Yu, the initial anxiety seemed to be gone, and they changed to be heroic and ambitious, and they went forward together to toast Guo Conglong and congratulate him.

Everyone was on the top of the city tower, and they drank to each other, as if they didn't put tens of thousands of troops besieging the city in their eyes. The morale of the three armies in Haidong is getting higher and higher.

This side drank to each other, and the three messengers over there whispered to each other. Having witnessed Deng She's heroism and Guo Conglong's bravery, Wang He and Meng Youde's original disagreement with each other now seems to have been temporarily alleviated.

Meng Youde said a few words to Wang He, pulled Fu Youde aside, complained in a low voice, and said: "Although King Yan is heroic, he is the King of Yan of the pseudo-Song Dynasty. My enemy. You are an envoy, and your every move represents the dignity of my country, how can you give him a drum just now? In front of so many people, he called him King Yan. Like his courtiers.

"That's fine, but he was in the eyes of Wang He again, and when he goes back to Jinling, he will definitely talk to Chongba. Chonghachi and my emperor are enemies. If Chonghachi learns about this, he will not add oil and vinegar. Surely you will say how you are, bow to the feet of King Yan. The fierce generals and envoys of the kingdom, worship the ministers of the enemy country? If this word spreads, it will greatly damage the dignity of our country! And if you teach Your Majesty to know. Man? Your Majesty's temper is not unknown to you. But what should I do? ”

Fu Youde said "ouch" and said, "What Master Meng said is extremely true. But it was the lower officials who were so talented that they didn't have time to think about it carefully. "What is Chen Youliang's temper, although he has not been investing for a long time, he is also clear.

When Chen Youliang first came from Xu Shouhui, he was originally Ni Wenjun's book rafter, Zuo Wenjun was meritorious, and he was looking for him to lead the troops and marshal. In other words, it was Ni Wenjun who single-handedly promoted him from a copywriter to a marshal with military power. Later, Ni Wenjun died at his hands. He also called himself the King of Han, took Jiangzhou as his capital, and lived in Xu Shouhui. Later, Xu Shouhui also died at his hands.

Chaohu Water Division, Yu Tonghai, Liao Yongzhong and others, there is also a Zhao Pusheng.

At that time, the Chaohu Navy was attached to Zhu Yuanzhang, Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongzhong went, but Zhao Pusheng turned back halfway, changed his mind halfway, and surrendered to Xu Shouhui instead. This person is brave and good at using double knives, known as double knife Zhao Yun, under the command of Xu Shouhui, his initial reputation is still above Chen Youliang. Chen You forgave him, so he also found a mistake and killed him last year. It is the same as cleaning up Ni Wenjun, and all of them are annexed.

From a small book rafter, not a few years, to now ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, it is like the respect of the Ninety-Five. Killing the lord is a common thing, and annexation seems to be a habit. Xu Shouhui, Ni Wenjun, and Zhao Pusheng commanded many strong generals, or used power to impress, or still did not convince them, they were all killed. It can be seen how Chen Youliang is a person. The more Fu Youde thought about it, the more frightened he became, his heart was pounding, his whole body was cold, and he hammered his head with his hand again and again, and said continuously: "Oops, oops." Lord Meng, but what should I do? ”

Meng Youde was about to speak, when he saw Deng She coming over, and said, "This is not a place for detailed discussions, let's talk about it later." With Fu Youde and Wang He, they bowed down to greet Deng She. After this fierce battle, they looked at Deng She's eyes very differently. Although it cannot be said that the heart is broken, at least it increases the awe.

Deng She pulled Guo Conglong with one hand, held the wine in the other, came to the three of them, and said: "Guo Conglong's bravery, everyone has seen it today. Asked Wang He, he said, "I heard that in the public account of Wu Guo, there are brave generals who often meet spring." 'There are 100,000 people who can rule the world'. Compared to my family from the dragon, who wins? ”

Wang He was respectful and replied: "General Guo charged into battle, and General Chang was ten desperate. If the two generals meet, they will cherish each other. "Not only praised Guo Conglong, but also did not fall into the majesty of Chang Yuchun." sympathize with each other", avoid the real and attack the false, from the side, he said that both of them are heroes.

Deng She smiled, asked Meng Youde again, and said, "Hearing that your lord is under the command, he will be like a cloud." Is there anyone who is better than my family's dragon? ”

"The brothers of the Son of Heaven in our country, the three kings and the five kings, are all capable of civil and martial arts, brave and good at fighting. Taiwei Dingbian, Prime Minister must be first, but also both civil and military, out can be a general, into the phase. There are also Xin Kaichen, Rao Daring, Ding Pulang, Xiong Yuanzhen, and the Deng brothers, all of whom are talented and brave, and the world's strong men are also. ”

Taiwei Zhang Dingbian, Prime Minister Zhang Bixian. Xinkai Chen and Rao Daring are all nicknames, one is called Chen Puluo, and the other is Rao Dingchen. The Deng brothers, namely Deng Keming and Deng Zhiming, are undisciplined and poisonous, and people call them "Deng thieves".

This Chen Youliang is different from Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang and Deng She are in the same vein, touting each other, harmless. However, Chen Youliang and the Song regime can be described as an enemy country, although there is no conflict and hatred with Deng She, Wang He is present. Therefore, Meng Youde can't show weakness, he has to choose the brave generals of his country, so that he can boast about himself.

Hong Jixun was by Deng She's side. He didn't like it when he heard this, and said abruptly: "If you set the edge, you must forget it first." Keming, Zhiming, who are they? Worthy of being compared with General Guo! Outrageous. "Deng She is also surnamed Deng. In front of him, Meng Youde rashly proposed that the Deng Keming brothers, who had a bad reputation, fell into the ears of people with a heart, and they couldn't help but think about it. Continuing to follow the ancestors, Guo Conglong and others, they are all changed.

The level of Wang He and Meng Youde can be seen from these few conversations. Deng She measured it well, didn't care at all, smiled, and said: "The five kings of your country, Dingbian, must be the first, it is true that you are heroes." ”

"The five kings of your country, Dingbian, must be the first" Yunyun, but it is another mistake of Meng Youde.

Guo Conglong is only a thousand households, but Meng Youde actually compares it with the five kings Chen Youren, the Taiwei Zhang Dingbian, the prime minister Zhang Bixian and other high-ranking officials of the Western Han Dynasty. A thousand households in Haidong should be compared with Chen Youren and others. If you continue to follow your ancestors and Monk Li, wouldn't Chen Youliang go out in person to compare? Taking it a step further, what about Dunshe? Who is comparable to the Western Han Dynasty? Is it too emperor?

Diplomacy is no small matter. One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds. Meng Youde criticized Fu Youde, and then he himself made a serious mistake.

Actually, I don't blame him. Guo Conglong's bravery can be compared with Chang Yuchun, and Chen Youliang's command is really nothing else to compare with except Chen Youren and others. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to teach people to see it? It makes him seem to have no respect for Haidong. If you want to blame, you can only blame Deng She, in order to hone Guo Conglong, he has only given him a thousand officials until now.

Meng Youde knew that something was wrong and wanted to change his words, but Deng She didn't give him a chance, so he asked the guards to bring the wine, poured it full, handed it to Fu Youde with his own hands, and said with a smile: "The right person is in the battle, and General Lao has the drum." Meng envoy said, the five kings and generals of your army can be compared with my family Conglong. Not bad, of course. In my opinion, there is one less person to say. The general's courage is also enough to fight against the dragon. Negative drums in battle, you can't do it if you are brave! Please fill your drink. ”

Fu Youde was reminded by Meng Youde, is this wine drunk? wants to wait for resignation, and he doesn't give Deng She face. Seeing that Deng She was diligent in persuading, he had no choice but to harden his head and drink it all. After drinking, in the blink of an eye, I saw Meng Youde wiping sweat on one side, his eyes wandering, and looking at the empty wine bowl in his hand from time to time.

Fu Youde said: "Master Meng? ”

Meng Youde was absent-minded and said, "Oh? ”

"But what?"

"Is the wine good?"

Fu Youde didn't know what to do.

The reactions of the two of them, Deng She looked at them one by one, and remained silent. He originally planned to give wine to Wang He and Meng Youde, but at this time, he changed his mind on the spot, stopped talking to them, turned around, and ordered his goddaughter Le to withdraw, and still watched the Chahan army with everyone in the city. The Yuan army withdrew the sample soldiers, and the whole line shrank, leaving only a few cavalry to watch the city gate, and instead concentrated all their strength and set up camp.

Deng She called Fu Youde again, talked to him, and said, "I heard that General Fu is from Dangshan?" ”

"In Suzhou, the ancestral hometown, and then migrated to Dangshan."

"Suzhou? Good place in Suzhou! Outstanding. Deng She turned to Guo Conglong and asked, "Conglong, do you know Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?" "Guo Conglong hasn't read any books, I don't know. Deng She said with a smile: "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang set up an altar in Daze Township as an alliance, and they rose up for the first righteous people at the end of Qin. Daze Township is in Suzhou. ......, the Overlord of Western Chu, you should have heard of it, right? ”

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is less than a thousand years old and has a great reputation. Of course Guo Conglong knows. Deng She said again: "Xiang Yu was defeated and killed Wujiang. Under it, it is also in Suzhou. There is also a ghost hunter Zhong Kui, who is also from Suzhou. He cocked his thumb, praised Fu Youde, and said: "The ancestral home is a land of a hundred battles, and the blood of Suzhou people is flowing, no wonder the general is so brave!" "Praise Fu Youde's sky.

Who doesn't like to hear people praise their hometown? Not to mention Deng She's such a noble status! Even though Fu Youde had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he didn't know why Deng She suddenly praised him like this, he couldn't help but have a smug face, and said reservedly: "Your Highness has a good reputation, and Youde is ashamed." ”

"Oh, yes. Wang Envoy, the wife of Wu Guogong, Ma Niangzi seems to be also from Suzhou, right? ”

"Not bad."

"No wonder, no wonder." Deng She seemed to ask inadvertently, then talked about Fu Youde, and said, "Suzhou and Dangshan are also the places where my lord is righteous." Suzhou and Dangshan are next to Huaisi, and they are within the scope of the Song regime's influence, so Deng She's words are not wrong. He continued: "But I missed the general. Turning his head to look at Meng Youde, he seemed to be smiling, "It actually made the general return to the honor." Shaking his head in regret, "It's a pity! Pity! Ha ha. Meng Envoy, I can't hide it, I'm very jealous of the lord of your family. ”

Fu Youde joined the army, first from Liu Futong's department, followed Li Xixi's northern expedition to Shaanxi, and then transferred to Shuzhong. Because it was not used by Sichuan Ming Yuzhen, he finally switched to Chen Youliang. These specific twists and turns are detailed, even if Deng She didn't know it at first, it is already clear now. The reason why he still said that was actually deliberately pretending to be confused.

Sure enough, Fu Youde was embarrassed.

Wang He knew where he came from, coughed, and interjected: "Your Highness doesn't know anything. General Fu joined the army for the first time, in fact, he was the head of our family. "He, the lord, is talking about King Xiao Ming," and then, he entered Shaanxi from the Northern Expedition of Lord Li Xixi. However, he lost and had no way out, so he switched to the Han lord. ”

"Huh? I see. Deng She was even more sorry and said, "It's a pity! Pity! Looking at Fu Youde, for a long time, he said, "It's a pity! Pity! Peeking at it, I saw Meng Youde, who had not spoken on the side, and suddenly, his expression changed twice.

Deng She knew that the time had come, so he ordered the guards to fill a bowl of wine with Fu Youde, raised his own wine bowl, and sighed, "A few years ago, I also participated in the Northern Expedition of the Third Route of the Lord. However, General Fu went to Shaanxi, and I went outside the Saiwai. I hate to meet during the Northern Expedition! Please have another full drink. Without waiting for Fu Youde to speak, he did it first as a respect, lit up the bottom of the bowl, and said with a smile, "Happy!" Joyfully! ”

He drank it all first, can Fu Youde not drink it? I had no choice but to drink it. To say that just now he didn't understand why Deng She suddenly praised him, but now he understands a little, and knows that this must be deliberately done by Deng She. Although I don't know why Deng She did it on purpose, it is inevitable that he will be uneasy. Since he was uneasy, he couldn't help but subconsciously go to the envoy Meng Youde. Taking a moment, he said, "Lord Meng? ”

"Oh?"

"But what?"

Meng Youde laughed dryly twice and said, "But it's okay to drink." ”

Deng She smiled, as if he was completely looking at Fu Youde's face, and even more as if perfunctory, he picked up the wine bowl again, and said to Meng Youde: "Meng Envoy, please also drink a bowl." ”

Fu Youde didn't know what Deng She's idea was, and he couldn't guess why he suddenly praised and showed favor. Not only him, but even Wang He and others are not very clear. Even Guo Conglong, Xu Jizu, etc., are also confused. is as smart as Hong Jixun, at most he thinks that Deng She wants to separate Meng Youde and Fu Youde, and when they go back to Jiangdu, they will bury some internal troubles for Chen Youliang. In fact, Dunshe's intention is obvious.

From the first time he saw Fu Youde, he made up his mind and was determined to keep this person.

It's just that I haven't had the right opportunity. It is rare to use Guo Conglong to break the enemy, catch Fu Youde's enthusiasm for a while, take the initiative to ask for the drum, and Meng Youde's successive gaffes, of course, he refused to let it go gently. Various means have been used one after another, and they have emerged one after another, and it is necessary to provoke Meng and Fu first.

The ultimate goal is not to plant "internal troubles" for Chen Youliang, but to force Fu Youde. wanted to use his uneasiness, and then developed into a conscious danger, so he had to take the initiative to change his court and serve Haidong.

The key is not in Fu Youde, but in Meng Youde. Why is it said that "Meng Youde has lost his words" is a rare opportunity? Just imagine, Meng Youde lost his words twice, will he worry that Fu Youde will go back to tell Chen Youliang? Definitely worried! As long as he worries, things will be easy. At the same time, Fu Youde also did something wrong, and he shouldn't be responsible for Deng She. The two envoys, the main and deputy envoys, were suspicious of each other and suspicious of each other, and their lord was a figure like Chen Youliang. Wouldn't it be much easier to do something in it? Dunsher only needs to contribute to the trouble, and maybe he can reap the benefits.

This is also thanks to Deng She's quick wit and quick thinking, as soon as he heard Meng Youde's words, he immediately grabbed it, and extended it step by step, as if nothing happened, he had already made a lot of words.

Point to point.

In order not to add to the snake, Deng She waited for Meng Youde to finish drinking, changed the topic, and said to everyone: "Everyone, in the first battle with Li Chahan today, the flag is victorious, and the morale of our three armies is boosted. What do you think is the way to engage in war? "Winning the first battle, at best, is off to a good start, and the symbolism is far greater than the actual effect. How to meet the enemy next is the key point.

Monk Li was shirtless, the wind was gusting, he didn't feel cold, he rushed and said, "Old Guo Chunye, iron-blooded real man!" Rushing into battle just now, I can grow the arrogance of our Haidong! How to fight below? I didn't say anything. Lord....... The big hand waved down, "One force will drop ten!" Real knives*, fight to the death with the Tartars! ”

"Good! Ambition is commendable. Continuation of the chapter, what do you think? ”

"Tartar people, we have few troops. Moreover, although we have won a battle today, the strength of our army is in the fortified city. It's hard to fight with the tartars, I'm afraid that something is wrong. "Continue to follow the ancestral road," however, General Li's proposal is also very reasonable. 'One force will drop ten'. Since our army has won a great victory today, it is time to make persistent efforts. ”

"How do you keep up the good work?"

"Find another opportunity and fight the Tartars again! Only by hurting them can we untie the siege of Yidu as soon as possible. "The head of the city is in the field, and there is no city without wilderness. It is not enough to simply defend the city behind closed doors. To fight a war, we should pay attention to the initiative on the battlefield. To give up the field war is to give up the initiative. Passive beating all day long, the city will be in danger. After all, the step-ancestor has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he still has this bit of vision.

"Ji Gong, what do you think?"

Marching and fighting, it is really not what Ji Zongzhou is good at. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister thinks that the best strategy is better than waiting for reinforcements from Haidong." When the reinforcements arrive, we will have enough energy in the city. Then the inside and outside echo, the front and back attack, although the Tartar is strong, it will not be able to defend. In this way, it will not be difficult for our army to win. ”

Deng She nodded, and asked Wang He again, "Wang Envoy, what do you think?" ”

"Shallow underneath."

"Now the siege of Chahan is besieging the city, and you and I are in the same city, so we should be in the same boat. Why be humble? What is the opinion, but please speak up. I'm listening. ”

The words "in the same boat" sound magnificent. In fact, it was another foreshadowing of Deng She's preparation to plot against Fu Youde. It's just that the onset is not at this time. He squinted at Meng and Fu, and thought, "There will be a battle under the siege of Chahan." When we go to war again, these four words will see how I use them. ”

Wang He couldn't refuse, and said, "What Lord Ji has seen is very much. Xu Pingzhang and General Li are not bad. Defending the city should be both offensive and defensive. Wait for help. ”

"Haha. You're all right. Mr. Hong, what do you see? ”

Hong Jixun opened the folding fan, looked at the city, pointed from afar, and said with a smile: "Chahan came from afar, and then there were Ji and Tai, and the soldiers were under the city, and they were in a hurry to fight." The lord knows himself and his opponent, and he must have a chance of winning. Why talk too much? With a "snap" sound, he closed the folding fan, turned to Deng She, and smiled without saying a word.

The generals of Haidong have long been accustomed to Hong Jixun's behavior. Wang He and others are not. Hearing his tone and attitude like this, Wang He couldn't help but be taken aback, rolled his eyelids, looked at him secretly, and thought: "King Yan is heroic, but he can brave arrows and stones and beat drums against the enemy." This Lord Hong is not small! ”

Deng She clapped his hands and stood up, and said with a smile: "Sir, I really have roundworms in my belly!" ”

He turned to the generals and said, "Just as Mr. Hong said. The Tartars came from afar, the grain and grass were insufficient, the weather was cold, and the transportation was difficult, so it was advantageous to fight quickly. And its hanging army is deep, and all the soldiers and generals it brings are not to be underestimated. I'm better than that, but it's just a fluke. As Xu Pingzhang said, the strength of our army is in the city with enough food. Therefore, the benefits are not out, and the city is closed. Wait for it to fail, and then you can fight. ”

Although he defeated Chahan for a while, it was just a fluke. Deng Shesheng is victorious but not arrogant. What's next? The strategy he developed against the enemy was, in short, four words: Closed Doors.

Outside the city, the Yuan army camp.

He was shot by Guo Conglong first, and then hit several arrows in a row. Although the heavy armor he wears, the damage from the arrows is not fatal, but it is a wound in the end. The special shot was not light. On the battlefield, he staggered to his feet, and before he could stand firmly, he fell to the ground again, fainting. This is also one of the reasons why the Yuan army didn't bother to chase after Guo Conglong. I'm just busy rescuing the high level.

Hu Ren has a secret recipe for treating serious injuries. Find a calf, cut open the abdomen, strip the injured person naked, put it in, and sew it up again. After a while, sometimes people who faint can wake up. That's what Chahan used. He put it into the belly of the ox, and after a long time, he took it out again. It works wonders. After a while, he woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw Chahan, struggling to get up, kneeling down and pleading guilty.

Chahan stopped and said, "In the battle, I lost the enemy because of carelessness." led to the defeat of the former army. On military law, beheaded! He eased his tone and continued, "For the sake of your past achievements, I have the right to spare you." Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. Order: Stick thirty-seven. The military judge answered in a loud voice.

Chahan said again: "Write it down, and then talk about it when you are well." ”

He lay naked on the ground, and he had just been badly wounded, and he had just woken up from a coma, and the wind blew and shivered. Chahan took off his cloak, wrapped him with his own hands, and carried him into the tent on the couch. And he taught the man to make nourishing soup at once. When it is ready, I will personally hold it and feed him.

貊高 was moved to tears and zero.

Chahan was colored, and shouted, "What are you weeping? Then he said warmly and comfortingly, "Staff, military law." I had to do it. Although you have lost a little today, where is the general who has won a hundred battles? Good health maintenance. In the coming days, wouldn't it be okay to get the field back on the battlefield? ”

He choked up and said, "The end will have the hope of the commander." How dare you work harder, undress and push food? Please rest assured, if you fight again in the future, you will only die in the end! ”

"Although you have lost now, it is not without merit."

The generals who were high and sat down did not understand its meaning. Chahan stopped the spoon, looked at the generals, and said confidently: "The thief started from Haidong, and he did not see a great enemy. If you are lucky enough to win me for a while, you will be militant and aggressive. When our military camp is settled, we can use a strategy to lure its main force out of the city and encircle and annihilate it. Then siege the city. ”

Although he was defeated by Deng She for a while, it was just careless. Although Chahan was defeated, he was not discouraged. What's next for the enemy? The strategy he set for the battle, in short, is also four words: decoy and encirclement.
