Chapter 561: The Han people are very cunning
Half a month after Wang Xun was ambushed, he was by the lake in the back garden of Luoyang Palace.
The breeze blew across the lake, and the surface of the lake was wrinkled by the wind, like a silk satin that was shaken, shining with a smooth luster like silk.
Liu Wei stood by the lake, looking at the sparkling blue waves in the center of the lake, without even the slightest expression on his face, but a pair of eyes flashed with a little compassion.
Guan Qing stood behind him on the left side, pressing the hilt of his sword with one hand, and his gaze also fell on the lake in the distance. From her eyes, you can also see a bit of compassion and pity.
Standing with his fists on the right side of Liu Wei was Deng Zhan, who sneaked into Huainan and watched Wang Liu and Wang Zhen kill Wang Zhen.
"So, that Wang Xun is like this, it is actually for the jade lady who once treated him like his own?" After being silent for a long time, Liu Wei finally spoke, there was still no expression on his face, but there was a little compassion in his tone when he spoke: "If this is the case, then Wang Wei is also a poor person." The hateful will have pity in the end! ”
"The last general heard that Wang Wei has a son, who is now three years old! There is also a wife's room, and she lives in the countryside with her children. I don't know if I can understand what Wang Xun did! Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Deng Zhan raised his head slightly, looked at Liu Wei's back, and asked softly, "Can you cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”
"Three-year-old, what do you know?" Liu Wei waved his hand, turned around, and said to Deng Zhan: "If you find Wang Xun's son, give them some money and silk, and often help them in the future, and no one is allowed to make things difficult!" Without Wang Chen, it is not easy for orphans and widows to live in this troubled world! Wang Wei left them in the countryside because he didn't want them to be in trouble! If you say that Wang Zhen is also a person of the most affectionate and sexual, what will happen if this king fulfills him? ”
Liu Wei was not only unwilling to kill Wang Zhen's son, but asked Deng Zhan to give him help from time to time after finding him, which made Deng Zhan's heart shocked, and he hurriedly maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is benevolent, the last general is abrupt!" ”
"General Deng, go get busy!" Waving his hand again, Liu Wei whispered an order to Deng Zhan.
When Deng Zhan turned around and left, Guan Qing, who was standing behind Liu Bian's left side, took a step forward and whispered to Liu Bian: "The matter of Huainan has been resolved, Princess Anyang asked Qing'er yesterday, can you allow Lu Fengxian's class to return to Luoyang?" ”
"This king is about to go north, how can I let him return to his division?" Guan Qing originally thought that the matter in Huainan would be resolved for the time being, and Liu Wei would order Lu Bu to return to Luoyang, but he didn't expect that as soon as her words fell, Liu Wei vetoed the possibility of letting Lu Bu be a teacher: "Let him sit in Huainan, beware of Yuan Shu's sudden northward advance, Fang is the right way!" ”
Guan Qing was stunned, staring at Liu Wei with a pair of beautiful eyes, but did not speak again.
She couldn't understand why Liu Wei was so generous to Wang Chen's widow that he refused to recall Lu Bu back to Luoyang.
Jia Xu stabilized the Huainan Yuan Shu, and by the Baishui River, the confrontation between the Luoyang Army and the Xiongnu continued.
In these days, the Huns launched several river crossings, but they were all driven back by the Luoyang army, and they confronted each other across the white water, and the Huns could not even advance half a step.
The Baishui River set off white thin waves, flowing eastward with a "whoosh", as if telling people about the battles that had taken place here.
Zhao Yun pressed the hilt of his sword and stood straight on the bank of the river, staring at the Hun camp on the opposite bank without blinking.
Since the Huns entered the Central Plains, many women were plundered by the Huns, and the Huns even escorted more women and laborers to the Hetao area.
For the Central Plains, the Xiongnu was a predatory existence, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not adopt a policy of peace and appeasement towards the Xiongnu, but launched a large army to crusade against the Xiongnu, is because they saw the essence of the Xiongnu clearly, and the national strength has been strong enough to go to war with the Xiongnu head-on and defeat it.
In particular, Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty drove the Northern Xiongnu to the west, and those who remained in the Hetao area were just a branch of the Xiongnu.
For many years, the Southern Xiongnu have been subjugating to the Han Dynasty, not because they sincerely surrendered, but because their strength was not good, and they no longer had the strength to invade the Central Plains.
But now the Central Plains is in turmoil, all parties are attacking each other, the national strength is huge, and the control of the Xiongnu is also a little powerless, and the Huns, who have always coveted the Central Plains, can no longer sit still, and under the pretext that Liunu may be assassinated, they can't wait to launch a provocation to the Central Plains.
"General!" Looking at the Hun army on the other side of the riverbank, Zhao Yun was thinking in his heart when Liu Wei would lead the army to come, and the army crossed the river in one fell swoop, completely defeating the 100,000 Hun soldiers, Zhang Liao strode behind him, hugged his fists and said to him: "The Hun army tried to cross the river for several days, but was defeated by our army. But after all, the enemy army is outnumbered, and if it continues like this, it will be detrimental to our army! I don't know when His Highness will lead the army! ”
"Not long after Fang stabilized Yuan Shu, His Highness thinks that there are many other affairs to deal with!" Looking at the Hun army on the other side of the riverbank, Zhao Yun said to Zhang Liao in a flat tone: "Wenyuan, don't be anxious, as long as we hold the bank of the Baishui River, we will eventually have a day of meritorious service!" ”
Looking at the Huns on the other side of the river bank like Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao didn't speak again, but his eyes flashed with killing intent that was difficult to hide.
Just when the two of them looked at the Hun army on the other side of the riverbank, and didn't know when they could launch a general attack, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and when the two approached, the knight on horseback turned over and jumped down, bowed to Zhao Yun, and said to Zhao Yun: "General Qiyu, the military division has a bag, please act according to the plan, you can break the Huns!" ”
Hearing that the military advisor had sent the bag, although Zhao Yun didn't know which strategist sent the bag, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved his hand to the knight who reported the news, and asked him, "Where is the bag?" Hurry up and hand it over to General Ben! ”
The knight took out a brocade bag wrapped in light blue silk from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Stretching out his hand to take the bag, Zhao Yun quickly untied it, briefly browsed the content of the note in the bag, the previous helplessness was suddenly swept away, and he turned his head to Zhang Liao on the side and said: "Pang Junshi sent the bag, it is really a clever plan to break the enemy, please Wenyuan immediately gather the generals, our army will launch a full-scale attack on the Huns!" ”
Knowing that a full-scale attack on the Huns was about to be launched, Zhang Liao was also overjoyed, hurriedly responded with a fist, and walked quickly towards the barracks.
Zhao Yun got the trick and made intensive preparations to launch **** to the Huns, but among the Hun army, it was not very comfortable to go to Hun at this time.
In the Xiongnu marshal tent, go to kneel and sit on the first seat, on both sides of the tent, divided into two rows to sit many Hun generals.
"The Luoyang Army is holding the Baishui River, and it is difficult for us to move forward half a step!" Looking around at the generals in the tent, he frowned tightly and asked the generals: "In the long run, the wealth looted from the Central Plains will not be able to support the consumption of the army, what do you think?" ”
"Cross the river and beat his mother!" As soon as the words fell, a rude-faced Hun general chewed the meat in his mouth and shouted indistinctly: "The people of the Central Plains are a group of cowards, our army is advancing on all fronts, they must have been frightened to pee under their crotches, where do they dare to stop my Great Huns!" ”
As soon as the Hun general's words fell, a group of Hun generals sitting in the tent all raised their heads and laughed.
The Xiongnu generals laughed very arrogantly, since the expedition, they have hardly encountered any decent resistance, the Central Plains army, has long been not in the eyes, only to the Baishui River, only to meet Lu to see an insurmountable barrier.
Unlike the Hun generals who were seated, the face of the humbled was solemn. He furrowed his brows tightly until the Hun generals were laughing heartily, and then he asked them: "Everyone despises the Central Plains people so much, then please tell this king, how to cross this Baishui River?" ”
The words of humility were like pouring a basin of cold water on the boiling fire, and suddenly extinguished the arrogance that the Hun generals had just swelled.
All the Hun generals looked at each other, even the Hun generals who just said that they would attack the whole line and break through the Baishui River, they were silent, and they didn't know how to answer this sentence.
It is easy to attack on the whole front, but the Hun generals also know that if one blow fails, the Luoyang army will take advantage of the ****, and the 100,000 army will be like 100,000 lambs, slaughtered by the Luoyang army close behind.
"Zhao Yun once made a detour downstream......" The awkward silence lasted for a while, and only then did a Hun general look up at him and say to him: "Why don't our army ......?" ”
"Take a detour downstream!" Without waiting for the Hun general to finish speaking, Qubei waved his hand and said to him: "The reason why Zhao Yun was able to make a detour downstream that day was because he only brought five hundred light horsemen. Moreover, in the Luoyang army camp, there are frequent transfers, which disturbs the sight of our army. Now that our army and the enemy have set up scouts along the banks of the Baishui River, it is not easy to make a detour downstream! ”
Qubei vetoed the proposal to cross the river by detouring downstream, and the Hun generals in the tent fell silent again.
Just when the Hun generals were also at a loss, the voice of a Hun soldier came from outside the tent: "King Youxian, the Han army on the other side of the river bank has somehow withdrawn all the scouts, and there are signs of retreating to the south!" ”
"Oh?" Hearing what the Hun soldiers outside the tent said, he was stunned for a moment, his brows were tightly twisted, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not immediately give the order for the whole army to attack, but shouted outside the tent: "Explore!" ”
Divided into two columns, the Hun generals sitting in the tent learned that Zhao Yun led the army to withdraw to the south, and one by one they were overjoyed, and when they saw that they did not immediately order to cross the river, many people couldn't help but have doubts on their faces.
"Right Virtuous King!" When the soldiers who reported the news outside the tent left, a Xiongnu general stood up, crossed his waist with his hands, glared at Qubei and said: "The Han army has withdrawn, and my Great Huns are taking advantage of the situation to pursue, why does the Right Xian King sit firmly, but he doesn't want to lead the army to cross the river?" ”
"The Han people are cunning and tight!" waved his hand at the Hun general, frowned tightly, as if he was thinking about something, and said to the Hun general: "They are not like our great Huns, if they want to fight, they will draw their swords against each other, they will use tricks, we should be careful!" ”
