Chapter 5 Praise is born of confusion
At night, the Chinese army is in a big tent.
"The last general is not in a good position, please punish Your Majesty."
The second general fell to the ground on one knee, Xiang Kai pleaded guiltily, but Ji Fanqi's face was pale and silent.
"It's not your sin's fault to lose this battle, get up." Deng Di was calm and calm.
The two men stood up, their heads bowed, the look of shame still lingering on their faces.
Emperor Deng asked them about the defeat, and Xiang Kai told them how the enemy had prepared in advance, and how Ji Fanqi had single-handedly killed the process of defeat.
A hint of wonder flashed in Emperor Deng's eagle eyes: "I didn't expect this Xu Han martial arts to be so good that he could fight with General Ji for more than a dozen moves." ”
Ji Fanqi's self-esteem was stung, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, that Xu Han just escaped by luck, please ask Your Majesty to allocate thousands of more soldiers and horses, this time the last general must have lifted the head of that guy to return to Your Majesty." ”
Ji Fan was extremely hateful, and his teeth chattered.
"General Ji, don't be impulsive, I see that this Xu Han is not an ordinary person, he won today, his morale is strong, and he can't easily hit his edge."
Emperor Deng was much more cautious, after all, the troops available to him now were only tens of thousands, but he had to face Li Zhenwei's 150,000 army, and any loss of troops similar to today's battle was something he could not afford, so he had this warning.
"Xu Han's victory today, he will definitely despise our army, I think that I might as well send someone to infiltrate Yunlin City, make an appointment with the general who defends the city, raise fire tonight, and rob the enemy camp at night on both sides, and I will be able to win by surprise."
Prime Minister Zhu Yan has another plan, and he wants to use this plan to wash away his shame.
Deng Di nodded slightly, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "This plan is very good, just follow your plan." ”
The sky dawned.
Deng Di stepped into the ruined camp.
The smoke was still in the air, the choking smell of charcoal filled the air, and there were broken walls everywhere, but there was not a single body in sight.
It burned overnight, and it turned out that it was just an empty camp.
Deng Di covered his nose and walked silently on the ashes everywhere, his eagle eyes flashing with anger.
He had a feeling that he had been tricked.
"Your Majesty, the scouts reported that Xu Han's troops had crossed the Wei River north last night and withdrawn to the Huaicheng camp." Xiang Kai, who came with his sword, looked a little depressed.
Emperor Deng's thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and in addition to being annoyed, he was a little more surprised: "Even this strategy can be recognized, Xu Han, Xu Han, is a genius, but it's a pity that it is not used by Xuanguo......"
Listening to Emperor Deng's faint surprise, the face of Prime Minister Zhu Yan, who was following next to him, was even more ugly.
Deng Di stood on the pile of ruins, looking at the north bank of the Wei River, and was silent, as if weighing something.
After a while, Emperor Deng sighed and said silently: "Order the whole army to withdraw fifty miles." ”
"Yes!"
……
On the north bank of the Wei River, Huaicheng.
While Emperor Deng was depressed about being busy with the air, Xu Han was riding his black horse, marching on the road to the camp of the Yi army with the attitude of a victor.
Defeating the surprise attack of the Xuan army and retreating to the north shore was enough to make Xu Han feel relaxed for a while.
However, just saving his life was not Xu Han's ultimate goal.
In such a stormy era, any hot-blooded man will have the ideal of achieving hegemony, and Xu Han is no exception.
In his previous life, he thought he was talented, but because he couldn't get a good opportunity, he could only hide in the office and be angry with the leader.
Now that he has turned around and been reborn, he has given himself the opportunity to show his skills and do a great job, Xu Hanyan can give up this God-given opportunity.
When he was calculating, he saw the banner of the big camp in the distance.
After a short time, Xu Han strode with his head held high and led his victorious army into the camp.
The soldiers of the Yi army in the battalion had already heard the news of Xu Han's defeat of the surprise attack of the Xuan army in Yunlin, and they were all excited.
When everyone heard that Xu Han had returned, they came out of the tent to watch, and Xu Han passed, and the soldiers of Yiguo all looked at him with admiration.
Xu Han entered the camp under the admiration of everyone, because Li Dishang had not returned in Dongwu, Xu Han handed over the soldiers and horses, and after greeting a few acquaintances, he went back to his big tent to rest.
As soon as he entered the tent with his front foot, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.
"Congratulations to General Xu for foiling the tricks of the Xuan army at a young age."
Xu Han turned around, and a middle-aged man had walked in, bowing his hand and smiling kindly.
The man was seven feet long, his skin was very white, and his slender arms were particularly conspicuous, and after only one glance, Xu Han's mind instinctively popped out six words: Smiling Tiger, Feng Binbin.
The person standing in front of him is Feng Binbin, the leader of the Later Liang Rebellion, but he has been Zhao'an by Yi Guo, and he is scheming and good at attacking his heart.
"Mr. Feng." Xu Han bowed his hand and looked at Feng Binbin, but his mood was very complicated.
Speaking from the heart, Xu Han does still have some admiration for Feng Binbin, this person's martial arts are sparse and ordinary, but he can incite people's hearts, since the fall of Houliang, he has recruited tens of thousands of rebels, divided one side, and it can be described as a flourishing time.
Xu Han was a little tired, so he asked, "Mr. Feng came to me, I don't know what happened?" ”
"That's right." Feng Binbin coughed dryly a few times, and his smile became more and more kind, "The general went out on the expedition, have you ever seen Ji Fanqi, a rebel general of Houliang?" ”
Xu Han said lightly: "Mr. Feng didn't come to ask, I almost forgot, yesterday outside Yunlin City, an enemy general with a height of nine feet nine suddenly rode into battle alone, without saying a word, he slashed at me, this person should be Ji Fanqi in your mouth." ”
"Is that so?" Feng Binbin looked surprised, saying this, as if he was asking Xu Han, and as if he was talking to himself.
"I only know that if I hadn't reacted in time yesterday, I'm afraid that what Mr. Feng saw today would be my Xu Han's corpse." There was a bit of cynicism in Xu Han's tone: "Could it be that Mr. Fei inquired about him and wanted to recruit a strong general for His Majesty?" ”
Feng Binbin immediately said: "No, no, no, I just asked casually, I hope the general must not be too careful." ”
When he speaks, he is sonorous and powerful, always exuding a unique charm.
Especially his eyes, always revealing sincerity and enthusiasm, no matter what he says, he will let others feel that he is thinking about you, and he is by no means deceitful, as if he was born with appeal.
It took Xu Han a lot of effort to withdraw from the inspiration of his words, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Such an incendiary figure reminded Xu Han of the art students who failed in World War II.
Is it not a curse to keep it?
Xu Han suddenly moved a little murderous.
After thinking about this for a lifetime, Xu Han began to think about whether it was possible to get rid of Feng Binbin by the hand of Emperor Li.
However, this idea had just arisen, so he denied it on the spot.
Li Zhenwei, after the incorporation of the Liang Rebellion Army, 20,000, Feng Binbin is the key person who bears the brunt, Li Zhenwei cannot kill Feng Binbin because of a few provocative words.
Thinking of this, Xu Han smiled faintly, "Mr. Feng is right, how can I blame Mr. for you." ”
Feng Binbin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his righteous and awe-inspiring expression immediately became gentle again, he moved closer to Xu Han, and said: "General Xu can see through the tricks of the Xuan army, and admire it from the bottom of my heart, only what happened to Ji Fan, General Xu is in front of Emperor Li, it is better not to ......"
Feng Binbin didn't finish his words, but raised his eyebrows slightly and made a hint.
"Mr. Feng, rest assured, this matter will never come out of my mouth." Although Xu Han couldn't understand why he said this, he still sold Feng Binbin a favor along the river.
A hint of joy flashed in Feng Binbin's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed: "Feng, thank you here." ”
Looking at Feng Binbin like that, this thank you is sincere.
It is no wonder that since Feng Binbin was on an errand under Emperor Li, the military generals led by General Zhengwang have been squeezing him out, and General Zhengwang has won the trust of Li Zhenwei.
Now if you find an excuse for General Zhengwang and others, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not take the opportunity to attack Feng Binbin, and Emperor Li is suspicious, although he may not be able to do anything with Feng Binbin in the end, but it is inevitable to give Feng Binbin a look on his face.
After sending Feng Binbin away, Xu Han could finally get a good night's sleep.
The thrilling battle with Ji Fan yesterday consumed a lot of physical strength, and until now he has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and his mental and physical strength is quite tired.
Xu Han desperately needed to rest, because he still had to recharge his energy and prepare to deal with another character.
That person is Emperor Li, Li Zhenwei!
