[Vol. 1] Verse 122: The Stratagem of Ma Yi 2

------------

Squire Nie Weng Yi was a businessman, who went to and from the Han-Hungarian border to do business, and for a long time, he gained a very good reputation in the Xiongnu, not only could he enter and exit freely at the border, but also often came into contact with the Xiongnu Shan Yu and their nobles.

As a Han Chinese, even if he earns money from the Huns, Nie Weng Yi still hates the Huns very much in his bones, and he also looks forward to the day when the imperial court can strike hard at this tiger and wolf nation, and seek justice for the people who died in the iron hooves and sabers of the Huns.

After the start of a new round of peace, Nie Weng Yi went in and out of the Han-Hungarian border more frequently, and he keenly found that the attitude of the Xiongnu towards the border people who came and went to the border trade had changed, and it was no longer a hostile and hostile mentality, but a sense of dependence.

Shrewd, he immediately realized that there was much to be done here, and he quickly drew up a plan, and brought his plan to the old man Wang Hui as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hui hit it off with him, and immediately played Liu Che, and set a detailed and meticulous plan for Ma Yi.

In this earth-shattering strategy, Nie Weng Yi once again became Mr. Key. After the 300,000 troops of the imperial court were deployed, Nie Weng Yi had to go to the Xiongnu court again to act as the key gentleman of the "long line".

Nie Weng Yi, as usual, used a few carts of mules and horses to carry the things that the Huns lacked most, and successfully passed through the layers of checkpoints and arrived at the grassland where the Hun royal court was stationed. When the Xiongnu people saw this familiar Mayi merchant, they rushed up, including some familiar Xiongnu nobles, and the goods were quickly robbed.

Nie Weng Yi obviously didn't care about the proceeds of the goods, he found the familiar Hun officer, hoping to meet the military minister Shan Yu, and while speaking, he secretly stuffed the property that had been prepared into the officer's hands.

The Hun officers naturally knew how to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, and maybe this merchant had some treasures to give to Shan Yu.

Under the introduction of the Xiongnu officers, Nie Weng Yi was soon allowed to enter the king's tent.

On the left and right sides of the king's tent, it has been full of the noble ministers of the Huns, in the middle of the big tent stands about a foot high charcoal basin, the red coals from time to time burst into flames, the whole big tent is smoked and roasted extraordinarily warm, behind the brazier, a majestic man is sitting on the tiger skin king chair, he is the military minister Shan Yu.

Most of the people in the tent have been dealt with by Nie Wengyi, so they are not unfamiliar.

After Nie Weng Yi finished saluting Shan Yu, the military minister Shan Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Nie Daguan, what treasures can you bring to Ben Khan today?" ”

Nie Weng Yi smiled, "I'm afraid the treasure is less than one in ten thousand!" ”

The military minister's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh? There are still such good things in the world, and even the treasures are less than one in ten thousand. ”

The curiosity of everyone in the tent was aroused, and they stared intently at Nie Weng Yi to see what good things he could take out from his body.

Nie Weng Yi didn't take anything out of his arms, but said in a loud voice, "This kind of thing brought to the Great Khan is a priceless treasure", he paused deliberately, and saw that the military minister Shan Yu was already sitting upright, eager to find out, he said, "Ma Yi City!" ”

When the military minister heard this, he had already heard that Mayi City had plenty of money, and if he could get it in his hands, he would indeed make a fortune. He then burst into a hearty laugh and said sharply, "What Nie Daguan brought is really good!" However, how do you take it? And why did you give it to Ben Khan? ”

"Don't hide the Great Khan, the order of Mayi County has a lot to do with the next, this person is not right, exploiting the county, the people of fish and meat, the people of Mayi dare not speak out against him, there are a lot of goods detained in the county office, send people to beg, I don't want to be beaten back by him, I took people to theorize, and I was also beaten!"

After speaking, Nie Weng Yi took off his long clothes, revealing his upper body that was dissatisfied with the whiplash wound.

Everyone in the king's tent immediately talked about it, and the military minister waved his hand, and the king's tent returned to silence, and he asked, "How should Ben Khan take it?" ”

Nie Weng Yi put on his clothes, bowed down and said, "The villain will soon lead hundreds of brothers to rush into the county government and kill the officials of Mayi County." However, the Great Khan should have sent troops to guard against the Han army. ”

"Great, come on, give Nie Guanren mare's milk wine, take a seat!"

A few days later, Nie Weng Yi followed the army of 100,000 troops of the military minister Shan Yu and marched mightily towards Mayi City.

After all, the military minister Shan Yu was a smart man, after he led the army into Wuzhousai, he stopped at a place only a hundred miles away from Mayi City, and he signaled to send an envoy and Nie Weng Yi to enter Mayi first, and after killing the county commander, he would enter the city again.

In addition to lamenting the shrewdness of the military minister, Nie Weng Yi had no choice, and it seemed that the military minister would not take a step forward before he saw the head of the county commander.

After entering Mayi with the Xiongnu envoy and settling the Xiongnu envoy, Nie Weng Yi rushed to the county government overnight to discuss countermeasures with the county order.

The order of Mayi County has already received a secret order from the imperial court to fully cooperate with the Mayi plan. Once the plan fails, the 300,000 troops outside the city will be equivalent to coming to Mayi to fight soy sauce and get nothing, which is a great waste for the country.

After discussion, they finally found a way, they found a death row prisoner in the prison, cut off his head and hung it on the city tower, and lied to the outside world that it was the head of the county order.

When the Xiongnu envoy saw that Nie Weng Yi had succeeded, he immediately went to report to the military minister Shan Yu a hundred miles away.

Soon, the Xiongnu army began to advance towards the city of Mayi again.

The Han outpost in ambush in Mayi detected the arrival of the Xiongnu army, and the armies quickly entered the position, made the final preparations, and waited for the Huns to step into the trap, and they would kill the Huns without leaving a single piece of armor.

According to the speed of the Hun cavalry, they will be able to reach Mayi in less than a day, in other words, tomorrow at this time, it will be the day of the great battle.

However, the marching speed of the Xiongnu army was not as fast as usual, because the military ministers always had a feeling of unsteadiness in their hearts. Who knows, could it be a conspiracy? Nie Wengyi is a Han after all, and it is difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the Han people's words? However, Ma Yi City is indeed a piece of fat, and it is a pity to let it go.

While ordering the march to be slowed down, the military commander Shan Yu constantly sent scouts to investigate, hoping to get more accurate information.

Along the way, a strange phenomenon caught the attention of the military minister Shan Yu, he found that there was no one grazing along the march, which in the past, even if he killed all the way, he could often see herds of sheep and panicked people. However, it is very different now, and it is too quiet along the way.

The military minister Shan Yu smelled something unusual.

At this time, the soldiers came to report and found the Han army pavilion fort, and there were only hundreds of soldiers in the fort. The pavilion is a kind of outpost on the border, which is responsible for guarding and keeping an eye on the enemy.

The military minister Shan Yu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered, "Take it down immediately." ”

Under the strong attack of the Hun soldiers, three times five divided by two, the pavilion was taken, the Han army captain Shi was captured alive, in the face of death, the captain Shi made the choice to surrender, and it was this choice that made all the deployment of Ma Yi's strategy fall short.

Wei Shi reported to the military ministers that there were hundreds of thousands of ambush soldiers in Mayi.

The military minister Shan Yu was shocked when he heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and while shouting that he was deceived, he said to the surrendered Wei Shi, "I have to be Wei Shi, and the sky is also!" ”

The military minister ordered someone to help up Wei Shi, who was trembling on the ground with fear, and announced an order that made everyone stunned their pockets, and he appointed this person as the "Heavenly King", and he could accept the worship of the Xiongnu people in the future.

The traitor Wei Shi was a blessing in disguise, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, thinking that the prisoner who was still hanging by a thread just now has now become the "king of heaven", which is really picked up in eight lifetimes.

At this point, Ma Yi's plot was completely bankrupt.

The Xiongnu army quickly retreated to the steppe.

Han Anguo and others who were ambushed in Mayi City, left and right, what Hun army, not even a ghost was seen, and later learned that the Huns were withdrawing from Wuzhou, and hurriedly sent cavalry to pursue, but it was too late, and the Huns were already out of the fortress.

Daxing Wang Hui originally wanted to use cavalry to quickly pursue and attack the Huns, but after thinking about it, considering that he only had 30,000 cavalry in his hands, he also gave up the idea.

The result of Ma Yi's conspiracy did become a military operation of collective soy sauce, and the Huns did not see any of them, but the army's grain and grass materials were consumed a lot.

It was sent to Chang'an, and Liu Che smashed it to pieces.

This is the first time he has fought the Huns, this is his battle of honor, it is the battle of the imperial court, and now, all the plans have become a laughing stock.

For Liu Che, this is the worst result, even if he loses the battle and dies a brother, he will not be so angry. During the court discussion, the ministers overwhelmingly opposed the dispatch of troops, and he supported Wang Hui with his own strength, hoping that Wang Hui could get some achievements to put gold on his face, Wang Hui actually handed over a blank scroll.

Liu Che did not directly reprimand Wang Hui, he wanted to pour out his anger in front of Wang Hui.

Wang Hui had long guessed that the Son of Heaven would be furious, and he had already thought of an excuse for this, he thought that although Ma Yi's plan failed, he did not attack the Huns' grain and grass, although he found nothing, but His Majesty's soldiers were preserved, once the battle started, it was inevitable to be killed and injured!

Wang Hui's excuse avoided the important and trivialized, but Liu Che was not very easy to deceive, as soon as he heard Wang Hui's words, he understood that this person was quibbling, so he stopped talking nonsense and handed him over to the Tingwei Mansion for conviction.

Tingweifu quickly gave a final conclusion, Wang Hui "teased and beheaded", that is, doing things like child's play.

Strictly speaking, this verdict is still very accurate, although the strategy failed, there are objective factors, but the problem is that he is not sincere enough to admit his mistakes, and his self-critical attitude is really disappointing, so there is a death sentence.

Wang Hui received a death sentence, but he did not want to die.

At this time, he thought of Prime Minister Tian Wei.

As we all know, there is no other way to communicate with Tian Wei, just use gold and silver treasures to open the way. Wang Hui scraped together thousands of gold and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Of course, Tian Wei accepted it very happily, but for such a big matter, he didn't dare to go directly to Liu Che to intercede, but found the Queen Mother.

The queen mother, who cared about family affection, didn't care about her brother's purpose of interceding for Wang Hui, she just thought that since her brother had spoken, she had to bring his words to her son.

The queen mother found her son and told Tian Wei what she meant, but Liu Che refused on the spot.

As a result, as everyone expected, Wang Hui died and committed suicide.
