Chapter 523: Guo Huai's sophistry

Of course, Guo Huai couldn't bear it.

Facing the challenge letter and women's clothes sent by the envoy of the Shu thief, Guo Huaiqi's face turned purple, and he clenched the matching sword in his hand vigorously, and really wanted to slaughter this messenger with a sword.

However, Guo Huai is the son of the famous Taiyuan Guo family, and his ancestor is the monarch of the kingdom of Qiu. Guo Huai really can't do this kind of thing.

The situation Guo Huai is facing now is not the same as Sima Yi's situation in Romance.

There is no record in history that Zhuge Liang once sent Sima Yi women's clothes to humiliate and fight, and the matter of women's clothes was made up by Luo Guanzhong, and even if Luo Guanzhong made it up, it only said that Sima Yi accepted the women's clothes, but he did not let Sima Yi wear them in front of the civil and military generals.

The person who really asked Sima Yi to put on women's clothes and ask if she was beautiful was the 94 version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series or the play that Mr. Wei Zongwan proposed to change.

So, although Sima Yi has no bottom line, and Luo Shui reversed his word after the oath, but wearing women's clothes, even Luo Guanzhong, didn't let Sima Yi really do this, because this is too much to break through the bottom line of ancient scholars.

Of course, the most important point is: Sima Yi in Romance did not agree to a decisive battle with Zhuge Liang, and he did not have a plan to deal with it after accepting the women's clothes. He stabbed Cao Yi on the grounds that the decisive battle of the army needed to be ordered, and Cao Rong grasped Sima Yi's purpose very accurately, and issued an edict that Sima Yi was not allowed to fight, which not only allowed Sima Yi not to send troops to fight a decisive battle, but also established the image of Sima Yi who endured humiliation for the country.

The old thief Sima is really insidious and cunning.

But now Guo Huai is facing a different situation, Guo Huai not only agreed to the gambling contract under Ji County, but he did lose the gambling contract under Ji County.

Many people knew about the things in Jixian County, and Guo Huai even set up a high platform to store women's boxes, and very officially accepted Zhang Xi's gambling contract.

It stands to reason that after failing to capture Ji County, Guo Huai should abide by the agreement and put on women's clothes. Even if it's just worn once in public, it's a complete bet.

But this is too much to break through Guo Huai's bottom line, plus later Guo Huai retreated to Shangqi, the Battle of Longshan broke out, and the army fought again and again. But no one in their right mind would take the initiative to mention this at this point in time

During the Battle of Longshan, Guo Huai made many meritorious deeds, repelled Zhang Fei, and became the only bright spot in Cao Wei's army. Then this matter was subconsciously ignored by the people on Cao Wei's side.

But if you don't mention it, it doesn't mean that everyone has forgotten. Guo Huai himself remembers it clearly, every time he thinks of it, Guo Huai can't sleep at night.

Now it's okay, if you don't mention it, people will take the initiative to bring it up for you.

Now that Zhang Xike is on the other side, since you Guo Huai dare to appear in front of others, isn't it time to fulfill your promise? !

Guo Huai really didn't want to see Zhang Xi, but now, for the sake of state affairs, Guo Huai couldn't help but come to Wuzhang Yuanke, this women's clothes, really couldn't wear it.

Therefore, even if Guo Huaiming knew that accepting the challenge would be detrimental to Great Wei, Guo Huai still had to go to the Dongshan Road Crossing in Wuzhangyuan and meet Zhang Xi in person.

Whether it's to make good on his promise or to seek something else, he has to go.

And Guo Huai, as the commander of the First Army, this move is not a matter of one person and one horse.

The boss is on the front line, you have to arrange someone to escort it, and if the Shu thieves don't talk about martial arts and play sneak attacks, what can the general do if he is in danger?!

Therefore, as soon as Guo Huai moves, the Chinese army camp must follow suit, and at the same time, the Cao army camp on Dongshan Road must also be ready to fight at any time.

In this way, half of Zhuge Liang's purpose can be achieved.

As for the remaining half. Then it depends on what kind of response Guo Huai has to do when he comes over this time.

And just like that, the time came five days later.

Guo Huai led 3,000 troops to the camp on the mountain road on the east side of Wuzhang Plain.

First of all, Wen Qin was ordered to take over the camp and garrison, inspect the soldiers, and calm the army.

Then, Guo Huai discussed with Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin how to deal with the challenge of the Shu thief.

Guo Huai's troops are insufficient, and the defense line is too wide, so Guo Huai actually knows very well that he should not accept the challenge of the Shu thief.

Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin are also equally clear, although the experience of these two people in the battle formation is a little worse, but they still have strategic vision, and it is impossible not to understand this situation.

But the point is, this matter, Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin are not suitable for anything.

If you persuade coach Guo Huai to endure his anger for a while, it's not you who dare to wear women's clothes to meet people, right?!

But if you persuade the commander Guo Huai to lead the troops into battle, it will be too brainless, and you will be despised by Guo Huai, and even angry.

These two are also difficult.

Guo Huai actually knew that he couldn't ask others what their opinions were, and no one would answer if he asked. Forget it, let's do it yourself.

If you can't even do these things, then you will be a nobleman.

But women's clothing. Guo Huai felt a headache when he thought about it, this is really not something that the nobles of this era can accept.

Although there was war at the end of the Han Dynasty, whether it was Han or Wei, from the court to the people, men were all based on killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions. On the contrary, after the Sima family took power, there will be those so-called "celebrities" who are scattered everywhere with five stones, and there will be beautiful young men who are seen alive because they are too beautiful.

As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Forget it, don't talk about it, don't talk about it too far, and it's even more eye-catching.

In short, Guo Huai really didn't want to wear women's clothes to see Zhang Xi, and his life would basically be ruined if he wore it.

But the matter of the gambling contract must be solved in a way, and it can't just be dragged on, if it drags on, his life will be ruined.

After thinking about it, Guo Huai thought of a slightly shameless way, but it was not too shameless.

The next day, Guo Huai sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Xi and asked the two to talk before the battle.

This reaction was also within the expectations of Zhang Xi and others, to be honest, the four people, including Zhang Xi, were actually quite wilted and waiting to see Guo Huai's jokes.

Anyway, in a different place, except for Zhang Xi, the other three people felt that it was impossible for them to wear women's clothes, and people who were stronger, such as Zhang Fei, directly said that they wanted him to wear women's clothes, so he directly killed himself.

Now Guo Huai asks for a talk before the battle, so what are you waiting for.

The four of them all wore mounted horses and went into battle, led the troops out of the camp together, and met Guo Huai for a while.

By the way, Zhuge Liang didn't take a four-wheeled bike.

Anyway, he was in the army, and Zhuge Liang was also wearing armor and riding a four-wheeled vehicle on a horse, which was too fantasy in Luo Guanzhong's pen, and the four-wheeled vehicle that couldn't catch up with the horse couldn't be made with the technology of this era.

But Guo Huai's current mood is really not too good.

Because the method he thought of was really not much face, he refused Wen Qin and Biqiu Jian's request to accompany him into battle, and led the troops alone to the camp on the Wuzhangyuan Heights.

But on the other side, the four generals came out all of a sudden, not to mention, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Liu Yin, Gao Xiang and other deputy generals also led troops to set up a formation.

It's clearly a joke from me.

And at this time, Zhang Xi, as the protagonist, rode his horse forward slightly, stepped out of the position of two horses, and took the initiative to say, "Farewell to Ji County, don't come to the general?!" ”

Farewell to Ji County!

The last time we met was in Shangtai City, when you Shu thieves besieged Shangqi in a big way, don't say you're not here!

Guo Huai understands that when Zhang Xi said this, he was actually deliberate, deliberately reminding himself that you should fulfill the promise you made in Ji County.

Guo Huai didn't talk nonsense to Zhang Xi, raised his hand slightly, and the guards next to him appeared beside Guo Huai with a box in both hands.

Guo Huai looked at the box with a straight face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally raised his hand and took the box.

Bowing slightly, he said hello to Zhang Xi, and then Guo Huai said, "General Zhang has been absent for a long time, and now he is very relieved to see General Zhang's health." ”

It's been a long time, I can't wait for you to get seriously ill and die quickly. Guo Huai cursed in his heart.

But things have come to this point, Guo Huai cursed that it was useless, so he simply followed his own plan, held up the box in his hand, and said to Zhang Xi, "General Lao is worried, the old covenant is not over, Huai slightly ignored it, and he never brought anything to gamble on, and today he is still bothered by the general to send it, I am really ashamed!" ”

When Zhang Xi heard this, he felt that something was not right. What do you mean, are you Guo Huai possessed by Sima Lao Thief?! So bearable?! This is to put on women's clothes in person in front of the two armies?!

If that's the case. Zhang Xi subconsciously looked at Zhuge Liang, but saw Zhuge Liang's solemn face.

If this Guo Huai is really so enduring, then the next thing will be really difficult to handle.

Once the Wei army is fully grounded in the defense line, it will not be easy to gnaw this defense line, let alone suppress Guo Huai to ask for help from Chang'an.

In this way, even if Wei Yan secretly attacked and occupied Meixian, the pressure of defending the city after that was estimated to be small.

But fortunately, Guo Huai continued to speak.

"It's just that Huai has a word, please listen to the general!" Guo Huai continued to say to Zhang Xi, "In the past, under the city of Jixian County, when the general and I made an appointment to win, it was agreed that only you and I would win or lose, and this agreement was a covenant between you and me. However, when the general and Huai won the decisive victory, there were Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others to help, but what was the reason? ! This is not Huai's defeat, but the general's breach of contract first! ”

Well. Well?!

If you want to say that, it's a bit shameless, especially in front of the two armies!

On the military formation, the means are exhausted, each according to his ability, what do you say are more people and less bullying people? !

Can you still have a face?!

Am I still going to accuse you of bullying my infantry with cavalry?!

Zhang Xi just wanted to refute something, but Guo Huai didn't give Zhang Xi this chance, and continued to say loudly, "Ran Huai failed to capture Ji County in the end, and retreated to Shangqi. This is also a fact and cannot be denied. ”

Belch. What the hell is this old boy trying to do?!

"The general has been the first, Huai has lost later, you and I both have the fairness of the gambling contract." Guo Huai continued to say loudly, "Therefore, Huai thinks that if it is here, ten days later, the general and Huai will each lead a thousand people to fight in order to win or lose, but what is this bet?!" ”

“.”
