Chapter 67: Han Xiu's Choice?

Wu Jinfan stood on a high place outside the valley, looking down at the rebels in front of him.

The team had entered the dense mountain forest, and from this point of view, their marching army was completely different from the armies they had encountered before.

Wu Jinfan could feel that the aura of this group of rebels was completely different from that of the previous enemy.

Looking around, I noticed that this mountain forest is full of green trees, and the dense foliage blocks the sunlight, making the place look unusually dark.

You can also hear the chirping of birds and the sound of insects, which is very pleasant.

However, in such a beautiful and peaceful environment, there were so many enemies hidden, which made the army feel a little uneasy.

Wu Jinfan once again set his eyes on the front, carefully observing every movement of the rebels.

Their steps were slow and orderly, as if they were moving on an invisible line. The armor on their bodies is inlaid with a gorgeous red pattern, which looks very eye-catching.

In such a mountain forest, such armor looks extremely dazzling.

Wu Jinfan realized that the combat effectiveness of this rebel army should not be underestimated.

Wu Jinfan took a deep breath and looked around, he knew that this battle was going to be a tough battle, but he was determined not to let this rebel army win here.

"Is it because these rebels were organized on an improvised basis, so the formation is scattered?"

Wu Jinfan frowned and said.

Did he think something was strange?

No matter what, he had to test it, after all, he was a great general, and if he didn't even know the reality of the enemy army, how could he fight them.

"The army organizes its formation and arrays to meet it!"

Wu Jinfan shouted again.

"Whoa!" The generals replied one after another.

However, Wu Jinfan quickly shook his head, these rebels were obviously not temporarily gathered, and this marching formation was obviously formed after countless trainings.

"General Ben beats the drum himself!" Wu Jinfan shouted.

Wu Jinfan held a double hammer and began to beat the drum.

Knock~Knock~~

Knock knock knock.........

The dull voice made everyone can't help but tremble in the depths of their hearts, and it seems that there is an invisible force pouring into their hearts.

Wu Jinfan was wearing a military uniform, wearing a sword at his waist, holding a double hammer, and he was majestic.

In front of him were generals of all stripes, armed with spears, swords and shields.

These generals looked at the rebels in front of them, and a trace of urgency rose in their hearts, and they all knew that today's battle was very important.

"Kill!"

"Rush to Lao Tzu!!!"

Several cavalry teams suddenly rushed out of the rebel army, and shouted loudly: "The Jianzhou army, my lord has an order not to fight with the imperial soldiers and horses from Jianzhou who came to aid Xunyang!" ”

"The lord of my family is the king of Han, the governor of Hongdu, Han Xiu!"

"My lord has an order, and he doesn't want to hand over the soldiers and horses of the court, and this time Xixia wants to die in Daxu, which is really not my lord's wish."

The first of the rebels, dressed in armor and armed with a spear, and his horse under his crotch was all red, muscular, and burly, shouted:

"My lord is willing to block the Western Xia cavalry in the Xunyang Valley for the Jianzhou army, so that the general of the imperial court town can know!"

After saying this, he rode his horse and ran in the other direction of Xunyang Valley.

Behind him, more rebels appeared, and they also galloped towards the south, as if to stop the Western Xia cavalry.

At this time, Wu Jinfan was a little surprised, he originally thought that these rebels were coming to attack his army, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually to defend against the Western Xia people in the Xunyang Valley.

"General, what should I do?"

The general on the side asked.

"Humph! Leave them alone, let's move on! ”

Wu Jinfan said lightly: "No matter what the other party's purpose is, let's still act according to the plan!" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, send a message to the rebels and tell them to back off half of the road ahead."

Wu Jinfan snorted coldly, waved his hand, and signaled that everyone could continue to set off.

"The last general obeys!"

The generals responded with their fists clenched.

Soon, the army continued to advance slowly.

"Report ——! General, the rebels have made way for a retreat! ”

"General, the rebels are withdrawing south, and they seem to be planning to abandon this section of the road and surround the Western Xia cavalry from the south?"

The army was moving, and there were constantly scouts to tell the situation.

What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of these rebels?

"Send scouts to check it out!"

"Yes!"

The scout quickly departed.

"General! Why did this rebel army help us fight the Tanguts? Shall we ........?"

Another military general asked in a whisper.

This general's surname is Xu, and he is known in the army as brave and good at fighting.

It's just that this time Wu Jinfan didn't answer, just looked ahead, not knowing what he was thinking?

General Xu was a little puzzled, but he still stood quietly on Wu Jinfan's side to protect him.

"Do you think we can keep this rebel army of more than 50,000 men?"

"Or do you think General Ben is in collusion with the rebels!"

The last two words, 'hook-link!' 'Speak very seriously!

Wu Jinfan's indifferent voice sounded, and the general who spoke immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "General Mingjian, don't dare to be humble!" ”

"In that case, then you shut up!"

Wu Jinfan glanced at him and said, "Remember, pay attention to your words in the future, if there is another time, military law will be engaged!" ”

"The last general understands!"

The general said hurriedly, sweat oozing from his forehead.

Wu Jinfan waved his hand, and the general hurried away as if he had been granted amnesty.

Wu Jinfan glanced at the general and continued to observe the rebels in front of him.

The rebels did retreat a way, but Wu Jinfan was still not at ease, so he asked people to reconnoiter and found that there was no ambush there.

"Let's go, full speed ahead!"

Wu Jinfan resolutely gave the order.

He wondered why these rebels were so kind to help him?

But now he is not allowed to think too much, so he can only try his best to move forward and strive to reach Xunyang City.

"Boom~~"

The army marched towards Xunyang City.

At the same time, the rebels were fighting the Western Xia soldiers in the Xunyang Valley.

"King Qiyu, the Jianzhou Army has passed!"

"Well, keep watching!"

Han Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news and said, "I hope they can get to Xunyang City smoothly!" ”

"Uncle, my nephew really doesn't understand, why didn't you agree to Xixia's conditions." Han Yun, the prince of Han on the side, asked suspiciously.

The conditions of Western Xia are to govern the two states of Daxu, and the rivers and mountains will be half each!

Although it is a loss of face, but this half of the country is given away, who can hold on to it without being tempted by any person?

Who in this world wants to give up their power? Even if it's a saint, I'm afraid I don't want to!

"Hmph, that's not a condition at all!"

Han Xiu snorted angrily and said, "How glorious my Daxu Kingdom is, Western Xia forcibly occupied the land of my Daxu Kingdom and forced our ancestors to death, do you still think that my Daxu Kingdom should submit to them?" ”

"That's what Uncle said, but shouldn't that be something that the court should worry about?"

Han Yun's voice was a little hoarse, but there was a firm determination in his tone, "If we don't have the help of the Western Xia soldiers and horses, how can we make the Emperor of Daxu abdicate and let Xianhu go?" ”

Han Wang's son, Han Yun, said.

The two looked like they were arguing.

"Hehe, you don't understand."

Han Xiu's figure was slightly thin, but his eyes were firm and deep, and he was calm and confident in his words, looking quite knowledgeable.

Han Rong looked a little anxious, he was constantly divining or doing, in short, what was he thinking?

Seeing this, Han Xiu didn't stop, and continued to explain: "In the past twenty years, the rule of the Daxu Imperial Court has become more and more corrupt, how can the children of my Han family, as descendants of ancestors, submit to such a dynasty under the rule of such a mediocre and corrupt Son of Heaven? ”

Han Rong, the prince of Han Wang, listened, and was silent and did not speak.

Han Rong's heart agrees with Uncle's words, after all, this kind of rotten royal family is not worthy of the throne and authority at all, the country and the society.

Han Xiu continued:

"The Western Xia is strong, and the princes of the court do not want to use the troops of the Western Xia to invade the Central Plains. However, the Western Xia was strong, and the princes in the court were not afraid of the Western Xia, and were afraid of the Western Xia counterattack. ”

"Not to mention, the Western Xia are ambitious, they definitely want to borrow the weapons and food of our Daxu Kingdom to strengthen themselves, if we all surrender, then how will the Western Xia let us go? When the time comes, my Daxu country is in danger! ”

Han Xiu sighed and said, "Now I can only desperately defend Xunyang and Jianzhou City, as long as I defend it, Daxu will be fine!" ”

Han Xiu saw clearly that although the Western Xia soldiers and horses were strong, if they wanted to take Xunyang and Jianzhou, they had to pay a heavy price.

Han Xiu's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "In this way, even if Western Xia wants to annex my Daxu Kingdom, they must first deal with Xiongguan-Jianzhou City. \"

Therefore, he doesn't mind being patient for the time being, as long as he holds Xunyang and Jianzhou City, waits for reinforcements to arrive, and annihilates the Western Xia army in one fell swoop!

"It's a pity that I'm not one of those weak and spineless dynasties."

"Hahaha!"

Han Xiu looked up to the sky and smiled, with a look of pride in his eyes, as if he had clearly seen the conspiracy of Western Xia.

"The Tangut people are just a knife for us, consuming the imperial court soldiers and horses for us, instead of letting it have the qualifications to be the master, this is the gap."

"Don't forget our ancestors!"

Han Xiu sneered and said, "The people of Western Xia want to be the emperor? Dream on! ”

Han Xiu had a deep hatred for the Tangut people.

Han Xiu's ancestors were killed by the Western Xia in the first place, so Han Xiu was full of resentment towards the Western Xia people.

"Hehe, I was forced to reluctantly agree to the old horseman of Xixia Dashuai, I just hope that he will know what he has done and be pleased with what I have done!"

Beside Han Xiu, Han Yun, the prince of Han, said with great expectations: "Uncle, if the imperial court wins a big victory and occupies Xunyang and Jianzhou, it will be difficult for us to win with only 50,000 soldiers and horses.......

"My nephew still has a plan!"

"Oh?"

Han Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You can tell me in detail." ”

Han Zhe, the son of King Han, told Han Xiu his thoughts.

Han Xiu's eyes lit up and he looked at Han Zhe appreciatively.

"It's worthy of being the descendants of my Han family!"

Han Xiu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This plan is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" ”
