Chapter 199: Can't tell, really can't tell
The attention of the generals in the tent was on the pawn who came in.
After hearing the pawn's self-declaration of identity, they all turned back to see what the emperor meant.
It's just that as soon as they turned around, all the generals were shocked.
I saw that the emperor's face was pale and his eyes were blank.
The hair is messy, without the shine and vitality of the past.
Even on his forehead, there were fine beads of sweat.
The whole person exuded a sickly atmosphere
???
How the hell did you do that?
I was talking about it just now, and the next moment I was terminally ill??
Liu Ke's lips were chapped and trembling slightly at this time.
He exhaled a breath of great weakness, a gentle breath that sounded extremely heavy.
"Hmm"
It looked as if he wanted to raise his hand, but only his shoulders shrugged slightly, accompanied by a silent moan.
It can be seen that the discomfort is forcibly endured.
"Your general, what did you do when you were sent?"
Liu Ke's voice was hoarse, his speech was slow and incoherent, and the staccato words overflowed from his mouth.
Sometimes, the voice is so faint that it is almost inaudible, as if it is suppressed deep in the throat.
The generals in the tent looked at each other.
Let's say it's fake, he's too fake, and the combined acting skills of the ten servants can't be compared.
Even the ability to change his face in an instant is somewhat unscientific.
If it's true, who was talking about it just now?
Is it really intermittent?
For a while, even the generals of the Han army themselves were a little confused.
The pawn who had just entered the account was directly stunned.
Emperor Han was really seriously ill like this??
"My general wants to surrender to Your Majesty"
The pawn couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.
Thanks to his own general, he was caught halfway through.
If you sincerely take refuge in the Han Dynasty, the Han Emperor will die in a few days, what else will you fight?
"Surrender?!"
Liu Ke's voice trembled suddenly, but at the same time he closed his eyes.
It's like a surprise at the same time, because it's too excited, the range of movement is too large, and it's a little painful.
He struggled to squeeze out a few words:
"Is that true?!"
"Seriously!"
The pawn nodded and said:
"General Meng was ordered by Shihai to infiltrate Changsha County as an internal response."
"It's just that I've been in Changsha County, and I can't get in touch with the Han army, so I can only wait."
"Fortunately, Shi Zhou Haocong sent a general to lead the troops to the front line to support, so there was an opportunity."
"Nonsense!"
Hou Junyan suddenly interjected, frowned and said:
"If Meng Feng has the intention of surrendering, he will directly enter Wuling County, and lead his troops to defect, why do you need to send you to the army?!"
"If the matter is revealed, it will endanger itself!"
The pawn hurriedly knelt on the ground and said:
"It's true!"
"Although Shi Zhou Haocong sent my generals to lead the army here, he is still wary."
"There are not many people in the army headed by General Meng, and most of them obey the orders of Pan Ran and Zhu Zhang."
"And the beggars stationed in Wuling County are more cautious."
"Although General Meng proposed to enter the city and station, the beggar did not listen, and our army could only camp outside the city."
Hou Junyan frowned, still skeptical of what this little pawn said.
Di Han on the side also asked:
"Our army has sent embroidered envoys to Changsha County, why is there no news?"
"Hey!"
The pawn sighed and said:
"It's a long story."
"My general has been in contact with the embroidered envoy, even if he can't get out for the time being, he is ready to send all kinds of confidential information to the Han army."
"But that Shi Zhou Haocong, after coming to Changsha County, I don't know which master he got to guide him, and he found out the hiding place of the embroidered messenger at the first time."
"Fortunately, the general hid deeply, so he was not exposed."
"Finally, today, I found an opportunity to show my heart to Your Majesty!"
Liu Ke still had that sickly look and asked:
"What about the embroiderer?"
"It's supposed to be dead."
The pawn swallowed his saliva and said:
"What a strong man."
"The Donghu people are extremely brutal, even so, the embroidered envoy did not reveal the identity of my general."
"Hmm"
Liu Ke nodded and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was mourning in silence for the embroiderer.
Then he waved his hand and motioned for Xue Jia to talk to the pawn.
Xue Jia coughed twice and said:
"Since General Meng intends to surrender, what other news do you have to pass on on your behalf?"
The pawn arched his hand:
"My general said, let the Son of Heaven send you!"
Liu Ke still closed his eyes and recuperated, and had no intention of speaking.
Seeing this, Xue Jia did not rush to agree, but continued to probe and said:
"How many henchmen does General Meng have in his hands, and if he surrenders, how many soldiers and horses can he bring, and how sure he is of Wuling County?"
The pawn was secretly shocked in his heart, there were such resourceful people in the Han army, but fortunately, Meng Feng also dealt with it, as long as he explained it truthfully:
"The general has 800 henchmen and horses in his hands, and if he surrenders at this time, he can bring more inducements, and he can bring about 2,000 people."
"It's hard to succeed in rebellion, but it's mostly successful in joining forces."
"As for the deception of Wuling County."
"To be honest, it's not very sure."
Xue Jia bowed his head and asked:
"Ahem, General Meng, can you open the gate of Wuling County?"
The pawn is embarrassed:
"With the prudence of begging, I'm afraid it's also a little difficult."
Xue Jia glanced at Liu Ke, saw Liu Ke nodded lightly, and said:
"You go back and tell your general first, and let him find a way to open the gate of Wuling County."
"As long as we can open the city gate, our army will respond later, and it will be enough to take Wuling County."
"Yes."
The pawn nodded yes and hurried away.
Staying in the Han army barracks for too long is easy to be suspected.
After the pawn left, Hou Junyan hurriedly said to Liu Ke:
"Your Majesty, what this person said is absolutely not credible."
"But we can calculate it, after all, Meng Feng's camp is outside the city, and our army can suddenly turn back and kill it directly with thunder."
"Regardless of whether Meng Feng surrendered or not, among the 20,000 reinforcements, there are at least 18,000 people, who are the sworn enemies of our army."
"Just kill it."
"The soldiers are brave and easy to win."
Di Han said:
"The last general thinks that he can believe it a little."
"Our army is like a bamboo, and we will be able to capture Wuling County in a few days."
"In addition, it is Qiyan Silie, who was also defeated in the hands of His Majesty, and among the Donghu people, I am afraid that no one dares to confront His Majesty head-on."
"A general like Meng Feng who has a certain relationship with a local family and is from a Han nationality will inevitably think about the future for himself."
"If you don't surrender, you will die on the battlefield."
Leshun, who rarely speaks on weekdays, also expressed his opinion:
"If Meng Feng surrenders by fraud, there will definitely be a reply soon."
"If he is sincere, he will not act lightly."
"If Meng Feng has some ability, he directly opens the city gate and leads our army to support, then it will be easier."
"Whether it's true or not, forcibly breaking this Wuling county city is."
The three generals have their own ideas, but they are all tacit, and they have no doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Han army.
"Go down first."
Liu Ke suddenly spoke at this time and asked a few people to leave.
The three generals retired one after another, just watching the emperor return to his usual physical condition, he was extremely speechless.
You're quite flexible, aren't you?
Only Liu Ke and Xue Jia were left in the tent.
There is also Yue Shaoqian, who is isolated in the corner, listening to the pawn's report, coughing twice from time to time, indicating that he is still alive.
Liu Ke asked:
"Xue Qing, what do you think?"
Xue Jia arched his hand and said:
"Don't care, Meng Feng is just an idle move."
Whether it is Hou Junyan's plan, he will take Meng Feng with olives.
Or Di Han's wait-and-see to distinguish the true from the false.
Or Leshun waited for the city gate to be opened and directly seized the city.
It doesn't really matter.
Because the strategy of Liu Ke, Xue Jia and Yue Shaoqian has never been Wuling County.
Even if you see that Wuling County is about to be breached, this is true.
Focusing on the gains and losses of a county, the pattern is too small for them to look down on.
Liu Ke nodded:
"Next, there will be you and Yue Shaobao in the big camp."
"In addition, this Hou Junyan"
——
After returning from the Han army camp, the pawn came to the big tent and reported the situation to Meng Feng.
Meng Feng asked the pawn:
"How is it, what is Emperor Han's reaction?"
"Also, Emperor Han and Yue Shaoqian, are they really sick or fake?"
The pawn was drenched, and on the way back, he encountered heavy rain, and the rain in Jingzhou has been quite frequent recently:
"General, Emperor Han said a few words to me, and then went to rest."
"It looks like he's really sick, and he's not lightly ill."
"As for Yue Shaoqian, I didn't see it."
"It's all the military general Xue Jia talking to me, and several Han army generals are also there."
Meng Feng frowned, and said again:
"What did they say to you?"
Pawn Road:
"Then Xue Jia is saying that he wants the general to find a way to open the city gate."
"As for the other generals, they don't seem to be fully convinced."
Meng Feng nodded, and said as a matter of course:
"Without the news of the embroiderer, they naturally won't believe it."
"If it were a general, I wouldn't believe it."
"If you believe it easily, and you are in a hurry to bring a few hundred people and surrender in a hurry, then it is a big problem."
The pawn's IQ is not very high, and he can't think through so many twists and turns, so he just asked ignorantly:
"Then how do we reply so that Han Jun can believe it?"
Meng Feng shook his head and smiled softly:
"Since the generals of the Han army are suspicious, there is no need for us to lick our faces."
"Ben will be in Jingnan, and he has some reputation."
"Besides, Ben General doesn't have the ability to make a beggar open the city gate."
"As soon as the city gate is opened, Wuling County will be lost."
"Even if you know that you are going to infiltrate the Han army, if you just lose Wuling County just to break into Neiying, it is not worth it."
"And whether it's this beggar or Shi Zhou Haocong, he is still wary of Ben Jiang and won't fully believe it."
"Three days later, I sent someone to inform the Han army, saying that there was really nothing I could do about opening the city gate."
"However, the general could have sent people to lead the soldiers and horses to Guiyang County, open the city gate by fraud, and take Guiyang County."
"Yes!"
Although the pawn didn't know what the point of doing this was, he still gave up his life.
"You go down and rest first, and in three days, Ben will send someone else."
"Yes!"
The pawn breathed a sigh of relief and left the tent.
He was also afraid, Emperor Han was sick like that, what if it was passed on to him?
After the pawn left, Meng Feng slowly turned around and faced the screen in the tent:
"Are the two generals satisfied?"
Pan Ran and Zhu Zhang walked out from behind the screen.
The two of them each held their own blades, but if there was anything wrong with the pawn, they would directly kill Meng Feng on the spot.
Pan Ran pinched his mustache and said with a smile:
"General Meng did a good job."
"In this way, the siege of Wuling County can be easily solved, and the reality of the Han army can be revealed."
After that, he glanced at Zhu Zhang, who was extremely brave on the back of the tiger:
"Three days later, if the Han army responds to General Meng's words and goes to Guiyang County, it will be accompanied by General Lao Zhu."
Zhu Zhang waved his knife violently and smiled evilly:
"Nature."
Meng Feng had no expression, and said a sentence that was not salty or light:
"The two generals can go down, they are going to rest."
"Then don't bother."
Pan Ran and Zhu Zhang, then left with contempt.
Only Meng Feng who sighed in the tent was left.
"I don't know whose secret scheme this Shi Zhou Haocong has suffered, and the calculation is so long-term."
"Could it really be that Liu Bin, who is known as a hundred steps? Thousands of miles away, can you also count the predicament of Wuling County? ”
Meng Feng shook his head, not daring to think about it.
This time, Emperor Han was afraid that he would mess up.
Regardless of whether Emperor Han and Yue Shaoqian were really sick or fake, they all delayed the fighter.
If Emperor Han had attacked earlier, he would have broken through Wuling County long ago.
Even if the follow-up is weak, it can be regarded as recovering one more county, and the morale of the army is available and the people's morale is high.
Now I want to calculate this and that, but I don't want to be calculated.
As long as Emperor Han believed his words, he divided his troops and went to Guiyang County, and the siege of Wuling County was solved.
Because Guiyang County is far from Wuling County, and Lingling County is still separated in the middle, it has to take a long detour.
This gave Shi Zhou Haocong of Changsha County in the rear time to continue to deploy troops.
And because of the division of troops, it was only the generals of the Han army who led the troops.
Most of the Donghu soldiers did not dare to fight with the Han Emperor and ate a few chessboards, but they still dared to fight the generals of the Han army and deal with flesh and blood.
Of course, it is also possible that the Han Emperor will directly transfer all the soldiers and horses under the county town of Wuling to Guiyang County.
But then the movement is too big, and martial law is imposed wherever it goes.
And it can also let the Donghu people see what the condition of the Han Emperor is.
If it's really as rumored to be, it's so serious.
There will definitely be no more small roads, such a tiring journey will only aggravate the condition.
If the whole army attacks, it will either be feigned illness or mild illness.
After all, there were originally 20,000 soldiers and horses in Guiyang County, and with internal response, there was no need to dispatch too many soldiers and horses, wasting grain and grass in vain.
As for Emperor Han's response to Meng Feng and defrauding the gate of Guiyang County, it is also possible to ignore it.
But there is no point.
With 20,000 more reinforcements, the Han army attacked again, and it was difficult.
Either the soldiers and horses of Guiyang County and Lingling County will be mobilized and converged.
Or, you can only change the center of gravity of the Northern Expedition.
To attack Lingling County and Guiyang County, which have no support, no generals, and weak defense.
"Being discovered by Shi Zhou Haocong may be a good thing."
Meng closed his eyes and recuperated, and felt a burst of joy in his heart for no reason.
If you still imagine being as grassy as before, thinking about acting at the opportunity, I'm afraid that you won't be able to please anyone.
Although the Han army is on the side, the soldiers are wide, and the Han emperor has won a hundred battles and is invincible in the world.
But after all, it was still too hasty, and the Northern Expedition was not fully prepared.
After all, you can't just smash the walls with a chessboard, right?
On the other hand, Shi Zhou's side has been preparing for it many years ago.
With mental arithmetic and unintentional, who is superior and who is inferior cannot be more obvious.
On the contrary, he had to be grateful to Shi Zhou Haocong for forcing him to stand in line, although he was forced, but he stood in the right camp.
Three days passed quickly.
Zhu Zhang pretended to be a cronie under Meng Feng and came to the Han army camp to deliver news.
Liu Ke coughed a few times and said slowly:
"I'm not sure to open the gate of Wuling County, but I can open Guiyang County?"
Zhu Zhang nodded, a little confused.
Emperor Han's eye sockets were deep-set, his expression was tired, and his eye bags were obvious.
He looked extremely tired.
Apparently not a minor ailment.
If this is the case, as long as you believe their nonsense, you will divide your troops and go to Guiyang County.
When I heard the news of the defeat of the Han army in Guiyang County, I might go straight to the west in a fit of anger!
The Great Khan of the year, isn't it the same?
No matter how brave you are, no matter how awesome you are, you are still under the repeated anger and attack, and there is a line between life and death!
If you can fight, it doesn't mean that the generals under your command can also fight!
Liu Ke continued to cough.
At first glance, nothing is wrong.
Think deeply, and that's fine.
Now the Donghu people are sending troops to support Wuling County, and the main force of the Han army is also in Wuling County.
It means that the center of gravity of the entire battlefield is Wuling County.
Even if it is an internal response, it is difficult to open the city gate.
But if they do the opposite, they suddenly divide their forces and go to other counties that have been neglected.
Under the combination of the inside and the outside, it is indeed very likely to open the city gate by fraud.
But Liu Ke was open, looking at Zhu Zhang's tendons and flesh, he was a little curious, so he looked at the ability attributes.
I don't know if I don't look at it, but I look at it, and I'm a little capable.
[Name: Zhu Zhang (Sergeant)]
[Age: 36]
[Command: 83; Force: 88; Zhiluo: 63; Governance: 51]
[Characteristics: luxury, greed for money, good merit]
This kind of ability is not young, especially with the characteristic of "good work".
To say that he has been buried all the time, only subservient to others, and a cronie and pawn who gives orders is too outrageous.
Looking at it this way, Meng Feng's position is already very clear.
Either they have completely taken refuge in Shi Zhou's department, or they are controlled by others.
"Gyeyang-gun"
Knowing that there is fraud in it, it is not to be believed.
But it's also a rare opportunity.
Because according to Liu Ke's discussion with a few henchmen, no matter what, Lingling County, Guiyang County, and Wuling County must be taken first.
Now there are reinforcements in Wuling County, and it is not easy to fight.
Then Lingling County and Guiyang County must start as soon as possible.
Liu Ke calculated in his heart, and suddenly a ghost came to his heart.
"Then let's, Hou, Hou Junyan"
Zhu Zhang listened from the sidelines, only to feel that the voice of Emperor Han gradually became blurred.
The coherence is interrupted, and the lip movements become sluggish, and finally stagnate.
Even his eyes became glazed, his gaze lost focus, his body gradually tilted, and his muscles became loose and weak.
Eventually, the eyelids close directly, and breathing becomes shallow and irregular.
????
it?
Zhu Zhang woke up suddenly, Emperor Han shouldn't die in front of him, right?
The Northern Expedition of the Great Han Dynasty was a complete failure, but he probably couldn't get out of the camp!!
"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!! ”
There were guards standing aside, and they hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed.
"Let me come!!"
Xia Bugu, who was guarding outside the tent and listening, hurriedly smashed a medicine basket over.
"Ahem, ahem—"
Liu Ke was in pain, immediately opened his eyes, and coughed a few times.
"It's good to wake up."
Xia Bugu stepped forward, measured his pulse in a good manner, pinched the middle of the person, and probed his nose.
Then he frowned, carefully took out a pill, and stuffed it into Liu Ke's mouth.
At the same time, various acupuncture points are pressed.
Liu Ke's face gradually improved, and his breathing became steady.
With a little determination in his heart, Xia Bugu looked up at Zhu Zhang, and scolded:
"Leave quickly!"
Push a book, "Wife, Please Advise More in This Life"
