Chapter 329: Hexagram
The messenger quickly returned to the palace and reported to the city lord Fox. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info fox inquired carefully about the performance of the Sand King, and the messenger told her, and she thought to herself, according to the hexagram, the Sand King Biao stirred up a storm, and the storm was like a yellow dragon, and the desert was set up in huge waves, and many things must be buried alive wherever the sand sea goes, including people, horses, cattle and sheep.
The fox sent someone to secretly send a letter to the king of Xia, reporting the situation in Ercheng, especially the matter about the king of the sand that the king of Xia was most concerned about, which was described very clearly, and at the end of the letter, he proposed to take strict care of the king of the sand, he was a yellow dragon, and he would bring a big storm, otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.
After reading the letter, King Xia disagreed, "Hmph, it's just him?
When the old prime minister saw this, he hurriedly said: "My lord and my king, don't take it lightly, that person just doesn't want to be obedient, and no matter how good you are to him, it's useless." I want the old minister to say that I can't be soft on him, so as not to always bully my lord and my king for being weak, without the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and being looked down upon, something will happen sooner or later. ”
"He doesn't dare to measure it, only 50,000 soldiers and horses, dare to fight against my 5 million soldiers? This king can't kill an enemy with 100 soldiers? This king doesn't believe it, even if he can't fight to death, he will be disabled. ”
"My lord my king, fight, yes, fight, fight, and fight hard, so that the other party has no chance to fight back. ”
"With the old prime minister's resourcefulness, how do you think you can succeed in one fell swoop?"
"The desert is his lair, according to the previous experience of encirclement and suppression, my lord's soldiers have not yet succeeded, the key is that the enemy has a natural advantage, and because our people are not effective, they are always too selfish, and they are greedy for life and afraid of death, resulting in repeated defeats, so that the enemy is more and more rampant, more and more arrogant. Raising tigers since childhood, tigers hurt people, and when there were only a few bandits at that time, they should have taken them down with a heavy punch, and there was no story behind. It's a pity, it's a pity!"
"The matter has come out, irreparable, to look forward to the future, the old prime minister has done his best, some time ago, because the old prime minister was sick, there were several encirclement and suppression because they ventured, the old prime minister in the encirclement and suppression, unfortunately sick, can not personally give advice, it is a pity. ”
"This is providence, at a critical moment, the old man is sick, it's really not the time, the old man has been feeling guilty for this, but he is too old to do it. Shame on you!"
"Don't say that, old prime minister! Everyone has a time when they are old, and those who laugh at the old man will be laughed at in the future, and this is true. Xia Wang said.
"For the Sand King, you must strike first, and when he first enters the desert, his position is unstable, and he can launch a surprise attack and win in one fell swoop. ”
"This king also has this intention, but in terms of choosing generals, he also hopes that the old prime minister will give advice. The widow is indeed a little tired. ”
"My lord my king, if you want to use it, you will use the soldiers on the front line, they are rich in experience, and they have achieved good results in the expedition, and it should be no problem for them to suppress bandits. ”
"Prime Minister, of course they have no problem suppressing bandits, they are much stronger than catching them. However, isn't it cost-effective to kill chickens with a knife?"
"No, we need to exert the power of our soldiers and give them a beating, only to know that it hurts, and it's useless to scratch the boots. The old prime minister said hatefully.
Hearing this, King Xia felt that Jiang was still old and spicy, and this old prime minister was like a snake and scorpion! No matter how powerful and naughty the rebels were, they were also from Western Xia. They are all fathers and villagers, why should they put people to death?
"Old Prime Minister, if they are forced by our pressure to disarm and surrender, will they still be killed?" asked King Xia.
The old prime minister was so angry that he blew his beard, stood up, turned around with his crutches, and said, "My lord, my king, how can you have the heart of a woman? ”
"The old prime minister is reasonable, but the widow thinks that the brothers kill each other, and the father and son turn against each other, which is still not good, and I don't know if the prime minister will consider it again. The widow thought that if he wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people, he had to pay equal attention to grace and power, and he could not just kill, regardless of whether the people lived or died. ”
"Old decay is merciful enough, my lord my king, and my brother kills each other, and is the enemy, even more vicious than the enemy. If you have a woman's heart, it is easy to have problems, that is, the enemy will intensify to seize the territory of my lord and my king, then my lord and my king will inevitably be harmed by the enemy, rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to attack, so that the other party has no chance to fight back, and solve the enemy cleanly and thoroughly, so as to put an end to future troubles. The old prime minister said.
When King Xia heard this, he couldn't refute it, could it be that the brothers killed each other more violently than the enemy?
He was a little suspicious, but the old prime minister has been loyal for so many years, and there will be no problem, and there is a problem here, the old prime minister may die first, and after he dies, what will happen in the future?
This mess is given to King Xia, and King Xia has to work hard to get the mess right, provided that King Sha must be killed!
The sand king is still relatively obedient, speaking of which it is still relatively good to unload his armor and return to the field and enter the desert, he has not made any moves, so don't startle the snake, observe and observe first.
Thinking of this, he said to the old prime minister: "Okay, I know. ”
"My lord my king, what do you want? ”
"The widow thought, don't send troops first, now that the border passes are tight and the troops are not enough, first arrange the existing troops, and some of them will go to the border passes to prepare for the next step. What does the old prime minister think?"
"That's good, we still have soldiers here. ”
"Where?"
"The soldiers who attacked Ercheng last time were on the outskirts of the capital, do you remember my lord and my king?"
"Remember, it's a pity that there is no handy general to lead them. ”
"Yes, but we didn't use it, we just kept him at home. ”
"Well, you mean General Langhu?"
"Yes. It's a pity that he defeated last time. If you want to reactivate him this time, you have to find a reason, otherwise, it is indeed a little dangerous for him to go into battle with emotions. ”
"Exactly, after this period of deliberate coldness, presumably General Langhu will also realize his mistakes, and we allow him to make mistakes, as long as he corrects his mistakes after making mistakes, he is still a General Hao. King Xia looked into the distance and said leisurely.
They conspired to deliberately snub Langhu, lest Langhu be proud and taken advantage of, especially his opponent, the Sand King, might win him over, judging from the undercover agents sent out, those people would definitely not do this.
They felt that the time had come, that Langhu's arrogance had been defeated, and now he had become more humble, breaking the myth of the victorious general, and he would learn from the pain and would cheer up.
"My lord my king, if you want to say that he is a man who has no heart at all, and changes at will, but he is still more loyal, and if he is neglected for too long, he may be used by the enemy, then, when the time comes, it will not be beneficial to us, but harmful to us. This is like a two-edged sword, the blade of the sword hurts people, even kills, the hilt of the sword is harmless, if it is the opposite, there is a problem. ”
"It makes sense, okay, the widow has this idea, go, send someone to deliver the message, and General Xuanlanghu will enter the palace. ”
"My lord the king, do whatever you want to do. The old prime minister said.
The discussion here has been decided, so King Xia ordered someone to invite Langhu. Langhu was very angry, he didn't come early or late, he just got used to the idle life, so he came to let General Ben get on the horse, what's going on?
Langhu has been relatively depressed during this time, so always idle, his heart is barren, weeds have grown, and he is not reused, or rather, he is not used, he has been idle, and he is sick.
He practiced martial arts every day, striving not to be unfamiliar, knowing that the sand king was gone, unloading his armor and returning to the field, if he didn't do a good job in his body, I am afraid it would be difficult to cope with the future situation, and the future situation would be difficult to deal with, and no one would be worth it.
As a military general, he doesn't know martial arts, can he still be called a military general? There are not as many cunning as the old prime minister, and the heart and eyes are not as bad as the old prime minister, and the only thing he is proud of is his own body. People must have a head, people have no head, people have no head, people must have a head, otherwise, they cannot be proud, there is no capital of pride. Therefore, he insisted on exercising every day, trying his best to keep his skills rising, at the very least, if he met Galle again, he could stand up, and he would not be blown 108,000 miles away, and there would be no place to go, then it would be called miserable and miserable!
During this time, Langhu reflected enough, and felt that no matter how good the relationship with King Xia was, it was useless, his ears were soft, and he liked to obey the old guy, the old guy had a bad stomach, maybe when he was alive, he didn't plan to be good, and when he died, see what he did.
If you want to have an independent status, you must have an independent mind.
He thought so, but he didn't have the guts to do it, after all, he loved Xixia and the country.
Just thinking like this, someone came to invite, he was overjoyed, and muttered to himself: "It's better to be the king of Xia!
"What's the good thing?"
"The villain doesn't know, he just does what he is told. ”
"Okay, you go down, and General Ben will be there later. ”
"Yes!"
When the person retreated, Langhu calmed down, his heart was more beautiful, and he was afraid that others would see it, so he held back. He didn't speak, and began to pack up, after all, he was going to see King Xia.
Langhu was ready, and he hurriedly stepped on his war horse and rushed towards the Xia Palace.
