Chapter 152: Xue Lanxi
To put it bluntly, Han Hu just wants to take enough credit to make himself go further, and now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally has nothing to do with sending troops. www.biquge.info As a general, his own strategic thinking is not bad, and he knows the truth of the speed of soldiers. When the army on the Xia side is ready and the army comes forward, I am afraid that the cost of attacking the city will be several times more than now.
The Xia State itself is a big country known for defending the city, and if it is a field battle, or if the Chu State has 10,000 against the Xia State 10,000, the Chu State can defeat the other party with one-fifth of the battle losses. But if the Xia army has a city defense, then it is impossible for the Chu State to attack the city-states of the Xia State with twice as many people.
It is precisely because of this that Lehi suddenly conquered the seven counties of the Xia Kingdom, which made this credit particularly dazzling. After Han Hu found out, of course, he was jealous and envious. I can't wait for a piece of the pie.
However, Han Hu himself also knew that this was impossible, and now that Lehi's troops were insufficient, how could Han Hu not take the other party in order to maximize his own interests.
The envoy explained to Han Hu, at ten o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Han Hu had already arranged for the army to be reassembled, and he himself could not leave his post without permission, but the generals under his command were also enough.
As the border army of Chu that fought against the Han State, the army on Han Hu's side did not fight all the year round, and it was completely organized. At the beginning, there were no less than 80,000 border troops, and now they are still fully staffed. Because Lehi and the king of Zhennan fought constantly every year, and because of each other's victories and defeats, the 80,000 troops had been hovering around 50,000 because of attrition, so that the army was overstretched when the seven county cities were captured. Otherwise, Lehi really didn't want to talk to this greedy tiger about borrowing troops to attack.
The army of the Han State did not have the will to take the initiative to fight, and the army of Han Hu defended easily, and there was no ambition to attack. Han Hu is a lazy person again, so he thinks about what kind of battle he is going to fight, but it's just a joke. This person was previously the state capital of Chu State, and because of his ability to slap horses, the lord of the country gave the border army great power. All Han Hu wants is status and money, and he doesn't know anything about this attack.
But the Lord will do so, but the generals below will not. In the Han border army, the state of Chu was equipped with a group of young and strong general-level officers, and each of the leading troops was not weak. If you want to say that the most famous is a five-star general with strength, who is only over forty years old this year, and complains about Han Hu's inaction all day long, Xue Lanxi.
This person is not small, he is the nephew of Xue Changhai, the marshal of Chu State. Xue Changhai himself lost his wife and had no children under his knees, this Xue Lanxi grew up in Xue Changhai's marshal mansion since he was a child, and his skills were inherited from Xue Changhai. The martial soul is also a natural ice martial soul, and its skills are not weak.
Xue Changhai treats his nephew like his own son, and his military strategy and martial arts are passed down from generation to generation. Xue Lanxi is also a studious and diligent person, and his martial arts skills may not be compared with the world's amazing geniuses, but he has learned Xue Changhai's seven-seven-eighty-eight in military strategic thinking, and he has been here for three years, and he wants to prove himself all the time.
Because of Han Hu's inaction, Xue Lanxi even led his troops to the border of the Han State to fight guerrillas, although the results were high, but after coming back, he was taught a good lesson by Han Hu. Later, he took Xue Lanxi's results as his own and reported to the Chu royal family to be rewarded, which is not ironic.
Xue Lanxi didn't let his uncle get back to the field, he knew that Han Hu was not young, and he was not a powerful cultivator, not even a general, and in a few years, he would be transferred back to the royal capital to live a peaceful old age. Therefore, there is no quarrel or trouble, just waiting for the other party to transfer away safely, and he can be firmly on top.
Today, however, that has changed. The fact that Li Hai conquered the seven counties of Xia in one fell swoop had already caused an uproar in the Chu State. Especially in front of these young generals, they almost seemed to see the opportunity for Chu to dominate the world.
"You said General Lehi came to borrow troops?" Xue Lanxi looked incredulous, "You mean really, didn't deceive me?"
"Of course it's true!" Xue Lanxi's friend and part-time military advisor Chen En said with an anxious expression, "This afternoon, Han Hu has already arranged for the whole army to be prepared, and it seems that he has agreed to go to support. Han Hu informed all the generals that you were excluded, and I also saw that the atmosphere in the other military camps was not right, so I went to investigate and learned about it. ”
"What a Han tiger!" Xue Lanxi naturally knew why the other party did this, he had sent troops privately before, but he offended Han Hu a lot, such an important battle was completely a good opportunity to increase his qualifications and merits, such a good thing Han Hu was of course unwilling to let Xue Lanxi have a chance to take a point.
"Xue Zi, I didn't provoke it! Han Laohu did too much this time! This attack on the Xia Kingdom is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it will inevitably be recorded in the annals of history. This thing is going to exclude us silently, this is the rhythm of isolating us! You can't just put up with it this time! You must fight to go to the front! Even command the troops!" Chen En said angrily.
Xue Lanxi's expression was also very solemn, Chen En was right, this Han Hu did too much this time, even if he didn't send troops to Xue Lanxi, he could bear it. But completely uninformed or even deliberately isolated is a bit undesirable.
"Kang Shuai, what did Chang Shuai say over there?" These two are Xue Lanxi's friends in the army, and they are also young generals. Xue Lanxi wondered if these two people were also on his side.
Among the five general-level masters in Han Hu's army, Xue Lanxi, Kang Wen, and Chang Han accounted for more than half. If he could get the support of these two brothers, Xue Lanxi would naturally be sure to force Han Hu to agree to let him go to the front line.
"Kang Shuai and Chang Shuai still need to say. Naturally, I am very dissatisfied with Han Hu's exclusion of you this time, I have already met two people before I came, and they both supported you to go. Chen En smiled coldly, "For a guy like Han Hu, you should use your power to suppress people, so that he can know that you Xue Lanxi are not easy to mess with! ”
Xue Lanxi stood up, pacing back and forth, constantly thinking about the pros and cons in his mind, he was no longer a hairy boy, and it was not his choice to send troops willfully and privately. But to work against your own peak, and even force the palace, this thing must be done thoroughly.
Han Hu didn't know his background, and Xue Lanxi never said this matter on the surface, otherwise no matter how bold Han Hu was, he wouldn't dare to exclude Xue Lanxi, the only nephew of the marshal of the Chu State.
"You're right. You can't let Han Hu go on like this. Xue Lanxi said with a cold face, "Otherwise, even if I don't care, I will definitely treat my sergeants badly." ”
"Prepare horses with me, call Kang Shuai and Chang Shuai, and let's go to Han Hu's camp! I want to see if he really dares to offend our Marshal's Mansion to the death!"
