Emperor Zhuang Lie, Volume I, Weak Crown Son of Heaven

After a long march of forty-five days, the grain transport team led by Du Wu finally arrived at the Chinese army camp in Dou Quan.

Du Wu, who was sitting on a horse, looked at the neat and orderly camp, and couldn't help but think of the allusion of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty entering the Xiliu camp, and thought to himself that this sinus situation would not also give himself such a show, right?

I'm really afraid of something.

After a while, the soldier who went in to report came out to report, saying that Captain Dou was already waiting for Du Wu in the tent, and asked Du Wu to dismount and enter the tent.

Wang Buliuxing was furious: "Zhuzi, see clearly, this is the second-rank Zhenbei general personally appointed by the first emperor, that is, your Huqiang captain, and it is only the fourth grade, he should come to see the general!" ”

The soldier was neither humble nor arrogant: "Captain Huqiang said, this is a battlefield, although General Zhenbei is high, he is not a combat general, and the whole army is respected by Captain Huqiang." Besides, before our Captain Dou set out on the expedition, he was a 2,000-stone Zhijinwu, two levels higher than General Zhenbei. Please dismount the general of Zhenbei and enter the tent on foot. ”

"Presumptuous!" Wang Buliuxing was about to raise his spear as he spoke, but was stopped by Du Wu. Du Wu turned over and dismounted, and said: "Go to the countryside and follow the customs, besides, Captain Dou is not wrong." Lead the way. ”

Chen Xun and Wang Buliuxing got off their horses angrily and walked in behind Du Wu.

In fact, Du Wu was also very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure. First, he is just a grain transport officer, and after the handover is completed, it is good to go back to Chang'an to make a difference, and there is no need to conflict with Dou Qian. Second, the relationship between the DPRK and China is intertwined, and he does not want to make more enemies.

When I entered the handsome tent, I saw a person, with a square mouth and wide ears, sword eyebrows upside down, a heroic posture, and a big horse golden knife sat in front of the handsome case. Seeing Du Wu coming in, he got up and bowed, and arched his hand: "General Zhenbei is coming, and the captain of this school should have led the crowd to greet him, but he was in military affairs, and he didn't dare to move, and he also looked at General Du Haihan." ”

Du Wu returned a salute and said with a smile: "Captain Huqiang is really a good general of the country, the former Emperor Xiaowen passed the fine willow camp, and worked the army according to the reins, and now the general is ordered to transport grain, Captain Dou does not take off his armor, and the soldiers are not humble, if there is a legacy of Yafu, this general will report truthfully to Zai Heng after returning, and Captain Dou is a true general!" ”

When Dou Guo heard this, his face was happy, and he took advantage of the situation to invite Du Wu to the table, and after the sergeant served tea, he said with a smile: "The former did not treat the general well, and invited the general Haihan." When I saw it today, I felt that it was too late to see each other. Please ask the general to rest for a while, wait for the military grain officer to finish counting the grain and grass, and personally set up a banquet to entertain the general. ”

There is a good saying, a sentence of three winters is warm, Xu is Du Wu's few words made Dou Guo's heart bloom, that night in the camp to entertain Du Wu, but also the army can drink all the officers to accompany the wine, Rao is Du Wu has a good amount of wine, but the tiger is difficult to defeat the wolves, only to the halffield, Du Wu was drunk, after what happened I don't know anything.

Early the next morning, Du Wu, who was asleep, suddenly heard a burst of horns, and he opened his eyes in a daze, and found himself lying in a tent. His throat was dry, he struggled to sit up, and just wanted to speak, Guangbai walked in from outside with a bowl of water, and when he saw Du Wu waking up, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and handed the bowl over.

Du Wu took a big gulp of water, relieved himself, and asked, "Am I drunk?" ”

Guangbai was a little angry: "The master was poured a lot of wine by Captain Dou and others last night, and even General Chen was drunk and unconscious, but fortunately, the disciple relied on his identity as a monk and moved Zai Heng out, so he didn't fall in." However, the Guru ......"

Seeing him stumbling, Du Wu wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"That Captain Dou is very insidious, last night when the master was drunk, he provoked the master with words, the master didn't notice, and actually promised to help them exterminate the Qiang soldiers, this is obviously a plan to kill people with a knife!" With that, Guangbai pounded the bed hard.

Du Wu remembered that the scene that seemed to be happy last night was actually similar to the Hongmen Banquet. Originally, after the delivery of grain and grass, you can set off to return to Chang'an today, but Dou Guo has been touting Du Wu on the wine table, and he also took out the deeds of Changping in the four words of the year and said to the officers, everyone was excited, and they said that they wanted to ask Du Wu to demonstrate it for everyone, so there was Dou Guo to take the opportunity to ask Du Wu to send troops to exterminate Fu Wan and raise the military prestige of the Han Dynasty. In fact, Du Wu was not drunk at that time, but he was riding a tiger together, so he had to agree, and he was afraid that they would have more excessive demands, so he poured a few large glasses of wine without refusing and fell drunk on the spot.

Thinking of this, Du Wu patted Guangbai's hand and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, this can't be avoided." You have also seen that along the way for the teacher, there are dangers everywhere, and every step is killing, so it is difficult to be cautious and difficult to do things. Besides, even if there was no drunkenness last night, Dou Qing would have taken the opportunity to ask me for help today, can you refuse to be a teacher when the time comes? said that he was a second-grade general, and in the end, even a fourth-rank lieutenant could ride on my head and and pee, why? Isn't it because you don't have real power as a teacher? Only with strength will we have the right to speak. Don't worry, don't worry, just a Qiang person, you can't enter the eyes of the teacher, help me wash up, let's go see the sinus situation. Now that we have received the order, we should close the matter as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Guangbai stomped his foot hatefully, and helped Du Wu get up and wash.

Seeing Du Wu enter the tent, Dou Guan smiled and led the generals to get up and salute: "I've seen General Zhenbei." ”

Du Wu waved his hand and returned the salute. Dou Jing couldn't wait and said: "General Zhenbei is really bold, he has promised to help the last general destroy Fu Wan last night, and said that he will only use the sergeants he brought. The last general thanked General Zhenbei on behalf of the generals and the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

Okay, this big hat is buttoned, Du Wu sneered in his heart, and asked: "Then please ask Captain Dou to introduce the situation of Fu Wan, and I will be able to know each other and confidant." ”

Dou Guo beckoned, and a man dressed as a strategist got up and came to the field to introduce the military situation.

"General Zhenbei may not know that the Qiang people are an ancient tribe that has existed since the Yin Shang period, and was called Xirong when Zhou Tianzi was called, because the dog was used as a totem, so it was also called the dog Rong. During the Western Weekend, King Zhou You smiled for the Pomeranians, and the princes of the beacon fire drama were destroyed by the dogs, and even the praise was taken away. Since then, the Western Zhou Dynasty, which had been strong for 300 years, perished.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Ligong conquered Xirong, and many Xirong people became slaves. Among these slaves, there was a man named Wuyi Sword who took the opportunity to escape. Qin Ligong sent people to chase and kill, Wuyi Sword fled into a cave, Qin soldiers set fire to the mountain, a monster shaped like a tiger covered the entrance of the cave in the raging fire, and Wuyi Sword survived. After the Qin soldiers left, Wu Yi Jian continued to escape, and met a fellow slave girl in the mountains, and the two became husband and wife. Later, the Qiang people also followed the long hair, which became a custom over time.

Wu Yi Jian and his wife continued to flee westward, until they fled to the Three Rivers region and settled there, where they were inhabited by the Qiang people. When the Qiang people learned that he had not been burned to death, they were shocked and elected him as their leader. Wu Yi Jian also passed on the farming techniques and animal husbandry techniques he learned in the Qin State to the local Qiang people, planting grains and raising six livestock, and over time, the Sanhe region became rich, and Wu Yi Jian naturally became the leader of the whole Qiang people, and since then, it has multiplied in the northwest region. His great-grandson was called Shinobi, who gave birth to nine sons and developed into nine tribes; The second great-grandson of Changfang was called Wu, and Wu gave birth to seventeen sons, which developed into seventeen tribes. By the time of this dynasty, the descendants of the Qiang people who had no sword had developed into more than 150 tribes. Two years ago, Pang Tian unified the Qiang tribe, and in the spring of last year, he raised troops to attack Xihai County, occupied the city, and blocked the southern road between our Han Dynasty and the Western Regions Protectorate. At this age, Captain Dou was sent by the holy decree to conquest Pang Tian, but unexpectedly, the thief was strong and clear, the wall was high, and our army's food and grass did not continue, so we had to confront each other for a long time.

Now Pang Tian occupies Xihai County, with deep ditches and high bases, refusing to fight. Fu Wan recruited troops in the five counties of Xiuyuan, Jianqiang, Xingwu, Junqing, and Shunli, and became enemies of the Han Dynasty. That is the current situation. ”

After listening to the analysis of the situation of the enemy and the enemy, Du Wu realized that he had promised too hastily last night. If you want to take Fu Wan, you have to pull out these five cities, and now I don't know how many garrisons there are in these five cities, but I only have a mere 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. In siege warfare, cavalry does not play any role, how can this thousand infantry attack the city?

When he returned to his tent, the generals gathered around him and cursed him:

"We only have more than 1,000 people, how can we conquer the city? Isn't this driving people to their deaths! ”

"That's it, that's it, he himself failed to capture a city with an army of 20,000, why should we let our general make a wedding dress for him!"

"General, let's go back to Chang'an directly, anyway, our mission has been completed, so going back like this is not disobeying the military order."

"That's right, our general is a second-rank lieutenant, why should he listen to the command of a small fourth-rank lieutenant?"

Seeing Du Wu pondering, Guangbai stopped everyone's indignation. Huang Da Halberd sat down with everyone on his back, and the long sword in his hand kept poking at the dirt on the ground until a deep pit was poked.

Du Wu looked around at everyone and asked everyone to go out, leaving only Guangbai and Chen Xun. At this moment, he deeply felt what it means that one person is short and two people are long.

"Now it's ready to fly, and I have to send it. Although we didn't have a military order, we had already agreed to the situation. What's more, after the end of the war in the West Sea, Dou Guo will definitely be reinstated, and Zhi Jinwu is my top boss. So now it's time to think about how to win this battle. After Du Wu finished speaking, his eyes fell on Chen Xun.

When Chen Xun saw Du Wu looking at him, he felt that the pressure increased sharply. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Is it possible to capture the thief and capture the king first?" ”

Du Wu smiled: "Xun'er, let's talk about it." ”

"The last general thinks that it is okay to first find out the city where Fu Wan is located, and then storm this city, take Fu Wan, and then escort him to persuade the rest of the cities to surrender?"

Before the words fell, Guangbai interjected: "It's not appropriate! Has General Chen ever thought that even if we knew where Fu Man was, how could we capture the city with the more than 1,000 people we had? The book of soldiers says: Ten times the siege of the city, we don't know how many enemies defend the city, in case it can't be attacked, the loss of troops and generals, the general of Zhenbei will be responsible! ”

Chen Xun paused and said, "Don't I know what the great monk said? Is there any other way, just besides? ”

Guangbai smiled: "Naturally, there is." We can lure the enemy out of the city, and then we can gather and destroy them. What does the Guru think? ”

Du Wu nodded approvingly: "The overall plan is right, it's just how to lure the enemy and how to gather and annihilate, but we have to plan carefully." ”
