Chapter 66: Showing Weakness
At night, Huang Xian fought against Hu Bing, and his body was covered with blood, mainly the blood of the Hu people, and there were also his own, and the clothes on his body were cut by Hu Bing several times, and he had no appearance on weekdays, and he was shocked when he took a picture in the mirror.
"Master Huangzhai, it's not too late for us to go after you take a bath and change your clothes!" Liu Yan hurriedly instructed the servants to boil hot water for Huang Xian and prepare a bath bucket.
"No, this looks good, I'll just wash my face. Huang Xian's tone was very firm, he didn't want to cause trouble to Liu Yan, Hu Bing besieged Liujiabao for more than 20 days, and everyone was tired.
"How can this work, it will make General Li laugh. Liu Yan continued to persuade.
"This is called showing the enemy weakness, and what is said in the book of war can confuse the opponent and alleviate the opponent's scruples about us. Zhao Wanming stood on Huang Xian's side.
"Show weakness to the enemy, why didn't I think of this layer!" Huang Xian raised his big finger at Zhao Wanming and praised: "Miss Zhao is really smart!"
"Why don't you bandage my arms and hang them around my neck, and I don't have to wash my face. Huang Xian smiled and teased Zhao Wanming.
"I think it's okay. Zhao Wanming said that he would do it, and asked someone to bring him a piece of cloth to bandage his left arm, and then hang it under his neck.
"This is more like a wounded general!" Zhao Wanming looked at his work, very satisfied.
"Oops, this is really uncomfortable!" Huang Xian regretted a little, but Miss Zhao had already dressed herself, so she had to do this.
"We have few soldiers and horses, but we occupy the three big villages of Hu Bing, Wancheng they won't be unhappy, right?" Huang Ling said his worries.
"They must be unhappy, why can't the people of Wancheng still rob us?" Huang Xian was a little puzzled.
"At that time, when we robbed the East Gate Dazhai, we almost clashed with the people of Wancheng, thanks to our fast action, they were all tied to the heads of Hu soldiers, and they couldn't get up quickly. Xu Guang explained the reason for Huang Ling.
"Then what should they do if they ask us for Dazhai?" Huang Ling was very worried.
"There is really such a possibility, after all, they are strong and strong!" Liu Yan was worried.
"We can't wait for them to ask for it, we have to take the initiative to give them one, we should focus on completely eliminating the Tuoba Department at the moment, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, what do you think?" Huang Xian walked back and forth in the house twice, and said his plan.
"I agree with Brother Huang's idea. Zhao Wanming first expressed his opinion, and Liu Yan also echoed it.
"It's a pity, especially the North Gate Dazhai, which is where Tuoba Xiong camped. "Huang Ling was a little reluctant.
"Meng Da, how many military supplies are there in Dazhai at the North Gate!" Huang Xian asked Huang Ling, Huang Ling's character Meng Da.
"There are mountains of grain and grass, and there are a lot of war horses!" Huang Ling's voice was a little excited.
"In this way, you and Xu Guang took advantage of the opportunity for us to go to the banquet and smuggled half of the grain, grass and horses to Ximen Dazhai, be cautious, and don't let the people of Wancheng see the clues. Huang Xian sent a task to Huang Ling and Xu Guang.
The two of them immediately got up and left.
Huang Xian asked Zhao Wanming to rest at home, and then asked Liu Yan to lead everyone to General Li's tent, with only about 20 forts, after last night's fierce battle, most of these forts were injured and limped when they walked.
Li Zuo's Chinese army was heavily guarded, and the 200 sturdy soldiers were neatly arranged, with bright armor and dazzling swords and guns.
Li Zuo received a report from the Chinese army early, and took Liu Yan and his party into the big tent. Twenty burghers waited outside the tent, which looked particularly shabby compared to Li Zuo's guards.
After entering the tent, the guests and hosts will sit down. Li Zuo introduced Qin Mi to Huang Xian and others, and Liu Yan introduced Huang Xian and Huang Jiang to Li Zuo.
Li Zuo took a closer look at the appearance of Huang Xian and the others, and almost laughed out loud, these three people were really embarrassed. I saw that Huang Xian was covered in blood, there were several cuts on his battle robe, his left hand was hung on his neck with a bandage, his hair was glued together, and it was also blood-red, pinned with a hairpin; Huang Jiang had small eyes and a big mouth, and he was fat and short; Liu Yan was obviously not lightly injured because he was on crutches despite his talent.
Li Zuo forcibly kept himself serious, bowed his hand to Liu Yan and the others, and said: "Everyone, I invite you to come mainly to discuss, how should we take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the Tuoba dog thief, I don't know what you think?"
Liu Yan glanced at Huang Xian, and Huang Xian nodded at him.
Liu Yan threw his hand at Li Zuo and said: "General Li, thank you for sending troops to rescue you in time, our Lord Liu Fort was unfortunately killed, and I would like to express my great gratitude to you on behalf of the surviving Fort people." You are a parent official, Liu Jiabao is the only one who looks forward to you, if you have any orders, just say. Liu Yan and Huang Xian discussed all the way, and they should try to compliment General Li.
"How dare you, how dare you, this is what this commander should do!" Li Zuo had a smug look on his face, and as soon as he groaned slightly, he put forward the idea of stationing in Liujiabao.
"No problem, if there is a marshal stationed in Liujiabao, I am not afraid that the Hu people will come again. Liu Yan agreed, he was very afraid that Li Zuolai would not leave in Liujiabao, but he had few people and weak soldiers, and it was useless to oppose it.
"If there are two teams of people in Liujiabao, I am afraid of causing misunderstanding, and I hope that the people and horses of Huzhai can be withdrawn and stationed outside the city, I don't know what the lord of Huangzhai wants?"
"Just General Li!" Huang Xian agreed very happily, he changed his words and admonished Li Zuo: "Although Tuoba Xiong was defeated and retreated, he was not seriously injured, if we rashly attack, I am afraid we will suffer a big loss! ”
"Where did the lord of Huangzhai come from! Tuoba Xiong has been frightened, if we attack, we will be able to destroy the withering and decaying, and win the battle, how can you grow the prestige of a thief and extinguish your own spirit!" Li Zuo was very disapproving.
"General Li really dares to attack Tuoba Headquarters?" Huang Xian wanted to provoke Li Zuo, and his tone was slightly questioning. He pondered for a long time, knowing that with his 2,000 people, it would be very difficult to annihilate Tuoba Xiong, so it was better to use the method of agitation and let General Li attack first, and when the time was ripe, he would dispatch men and horses to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"Ben Shuai is not a casual joke with people!" Li Zuo was a little angry.
"If General Li goes to attack Tuoba headquarters, Kill Hu Zhai is willing to be your backup. Huang Xian encouraged Li Zuo.
"Of course it's good, what Ben Shuai is worried about is a few earthen cities in the east, I am afraid that they will go to meet Tuoba Xiong, if they attack back and forth, Ben Shuai will be in danger. Li Zuo was very realistic, directly expressed his concerns, and at the same time hinted at killing Huzhai to attack several earthen cities in the east.
Huang Xian heard what Li Zuo meant, and chuckled in his heart, he knew that it was easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, if Hu Bing stuck to the city, it would be difficult to capture Tucheng with his own men, and then thought: Why bother to attack, as long as the connection between Tucheng and Tuoba headquarters is cut off.
Thinking of this, Huang Xian said generously: "General Li doesn't have to worry, a few earthen cities in the east will be handed over to me, you can go and fight Tuoba Xiong." ”
Li Zuo was so happy in his heart, and thought: "This killing Huzhai is really easy to talk to!" When he saw Huang Xian and Huang Jiang shabby and embarrassed before, he didn't look down on them from his heart, but now when he heard Huang Xian say that he was willing to attack Tucheng in the east, he completely relaxed his vigilance against killing Huzhai in his heart.
Li Zuo was satisfied, and immediately ordered to set up wine to receive Liu Yan, Huang Xian and Huang Jiang.
While Li Zuo was talking to Huang Xian and the others, Qin Mi observed the other party quietly, and muttered to himself in his heart: Why did the other party agree so happily, could there be fraud in it? He pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with a clue.
"Lord Huangzhai, it is not easy to attack Tuoba Headquarters, you need to make full preparations, this grain and grass transportation and storage alone is very tricky, Tuoba Xiong left four Dazhai in Liujiabao, you occupy three, you have few people, it is useless to have more, it is better to vacate the North Gate Dazhai for our army to store grain, I don't know if the Lord of Huangzhai is willing to cut his love?" Seeing that Li Zuo did not mention the matter of Hu Bing Dazhai, during the drinking, Qin Mi took the initiative to mention it.
"Well, Ben Shuai also has this intention, and I hope that the owner of Huangzhai will not refuse. Li Zuo also remembered this incident.
"It should be, it should be, I have this intention!" Huang Xian agreed again: "When we withdraw our people, we will immediately transfer Beizhai to you." ”
Li Zuo and Qin Mi were overjoyed, and frequently raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, and the two sides parted happily.
