"I'm not lying to you. I won't kill your general unless I kill him. I just want him to surrender. You also know that our Huaxia and Wei are enemies. Since your general has a grudge against Cao Cao, why don't you join us and deal with it together?" Where is Cao Cao? Young man, tell me honestly, are you really just a soldier?" Lin Nan grabbed the soldier's wrist with one hand and looked at the soldier with bright eyes.
The young man said: "I am indeed a soldier. General, don't you believe me?"
"Haha, a soldier can understand so many things, and can explain Feng Chu's strategy so clearly. Do you think I will believe it?" Lin Nan looked at the soldier again, and saw that the soldier's features were clear and handsome, and he held the hand in his hand. The skin on the hands is also relatively delicate, not like the hands of a person who dances with guns and sticks all day long. He said, "Your hands are so tender and smooth. If you are really a well-trained soldier, there will definitely be calluses on your palms. If you tell me honestly, who is your name, maybe I will recommend you to the emperor of our country."
The soldier chuckled and said: "The general really has good eyesight. It seems that it is impossible to hide it from the general. However, I am indeed a soldier, just a frustrated soldier. My surname is Fa, my given name is Zheng, and my courtesy name is Xiaozhi. , a person from Fufengxian County on the right.¡±
After hearing this, Lin Nan smiled and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that this small place is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. First there was Zhang Ren, and now there is Fa Xiaozhi. It seems that I really came to the right place this time."
He let go of Faqi Zheng and asked, "Tell me, do you want to trick me into going up the mountain and then ambush me?"
Fazheng smiled and said, "That's what I originally thought, but now I have changed my mind. The general has a noble air, an extraordinary conversation, and is also majestic. I'm afraid he is not just a general. I dare to ask. , who is the general?"
"Lin Nan, named Ziyu."
Fazheng was panicked and surprised. He never thought that the majestic emperor of a country would actually sit in front of him. He immediately fell to his knees. He bowed and said, "Fa Xiaozhi comes to see His Majesty the Emperor. Please forgive Xiaozhi for being blind and not recognizing His Majesty."
After hearing this, Zhang Meng asked suspiciously: "Are you the emperor?"
Lin Nan nodded but did not speak.
Zhang Meng also hurriedly bowed: "Kowtow to Your Majesty!"
Lin Nan helped Fazheng and Zhang Meng up and said, "If you worship me like this, can I think that you have surrendered to me?"
Fazheng and Zhang Meng looked at each other, and finally smiled at each other.
Lin Nan said: "Very good, very good. It's just that now is not the time to talk about this. We need to take down Zhang Ren first."
Fa Zheng said: "Your Majesty, leave this task to me. I will go and persuade General Zhang to surrender. Your Majesty will stay here later. I will come back as soon as I go."
With that said, Fazheng walked towards the stronghold.
Zhao Yun and Bian Xi gathered over and asked, "Your Majesty, let him go. Will there be any problem?"
"Probably not. These people are all in exile. They have nowhere to go for the time being. They are considered stragglers. Now we recruit them, which can just strengthen the strength of our army. Besides, Fa Xiaozhi is also a wise man. He is also aware of current affairs. He is also a good minister who is good at choosing his master." Lin Nan praised him.
Fazheng went up the mountain, quickly entered the stronghold, and walked straight towards the hall on the stronghold.
At this time, Zhang Ren was sitting in the hall, with more than ten generals lined up around him. Suddenly seeing Fazheng coming in, Zhang Ren stood up and asked, "Xiaozhi! What a good thing you did!"
Fazheng glanced at the remaining officials of the Shu Han Dynasty, with angry expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "Are you complaining about me taking people up the mountain?"
Zhang Rendao: "Besides this matter, what else can happen?"
"Haha, general, please calm down. Xiaozhi is just a person who was demoted and exiled from the army. How can he have such great ability. However, do you know who I brought?" Fazheng glanced at everyone and said with a smile.
"who?"
"It is His Majesty the Emperor of China!"
"Ha! You are just talking nonsense. How could the emperor come to this ravine if he does not enjoy the blessings?" said the man sitting first on Zhang Ren's left hand.
Zhang Ren didn¡¯t think so. He looked at Fazheng suspiciously and asked, ¡°Is everything you said true?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s true!¡±
"Pah!" Zhang Ren clapped his thigh happily and said with a smile: "It's really great. If you capture the emperor of China, you can exchange him for a few cities, then recruit troops, and then fight to the death with the old thief Cao Cao! "
Faxiao smiled and said: "General Zhang, you are too naive. How can it be so easy to catch Lin Nan? You didn't notice that I came back alone."?? Because everyone who went with me is dead. If I hadn't hid quickly, you probably wouldn't have seen me. Lin Nan's men eliminated all those hundreds of people in just one round. "
Zhang Rendao: "Don't be alarmist. You are just a soldier who was demoted to our army by His Majesty. If I hadn't saved you last time, you would have died long ago."
Fazheng smiled and said: "Because of this, I will save the general's life this time, one life for another, and we will not owe each other anything in the future."
Zhang Ren smiled and said, "Oh? Then I'd like to hear the details."
Fa Zheng cleared his throat and said loudly: "Your Majesty ordered the entire army to surrender to the Wei army, but the general would rather become a bandit than surrender to the Wei army. This must be the reason. I think it was probably because the general massacred tens of thousands of innocent people in Zitong against Cao Cao. Are you dissatisfied?"
Zhang Rendao: "Cao Cao, an old man, likes to massacre cities. Back then, he massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou to avenge his father. Now, although he has only massacred tens of thousands of people in Zitong, he is cruel and unkind. As a native of Shu, I, Zhang Ren, should To avenge the people of Shu who died in vain, I would rather fall into the trap than surrender to Cao Cao."
"Well, I admire the general's noble spirit." At this point, Fazheng turned around and looked at the others and asked, "I think this is why you followed the general, right?"
Those sitting around were all generals from the Bashu generation, including Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Wei, Lingbao, Deng Xian and others, all of whom were Zhang Ren's old troops. After everyone listened to Fazheng's words, they said: "We follow the general only out of loyalty."
Fazheng nodded and said: "Well, think about it. However, now there is an opportunity in front of you. Huaxia has always been a hostile country to Wei, and now it has sent troops to capture Qinzhou and Liangzhou, and captured Wei The old territory of the country. In other words, as long as Hanzhong is captured, the Wei Kingdom will only have a corner of Bashu. The Wei army has just occupied Shu, and as long as the Chinese army invades Bashu, the people of Bashu will definitely respond. , you can get it at your fingertips, and the old thief Cao Cao is bound to be expelled. Now I have surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom. As a little soldier, the emperor of the Huaxia Kingdom has made me an admonishment doctor. You are all famous generals in Shu. , If you surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom at this time, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give you many rewards. After all, I will rely on you a lot to destroy Wei in the future. "
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. Fa Zheng's words were quite tempting. These people are hiding here just because they want to develop slowly and compete with Cao Cao. If there is a chance, he can lead troops to fight, and he will be a high-ranking official with generous salary. These people will naturally be shaken.
"Xiaozhi, is everything you said true?" Liu Huang asked first.
Fazheng nodded. He said: "Why did I lie to you? Believe it or not, even if you don't surrender now, I'm afraid that the Chinese army will attack soon and many people will die. I heard that this army is the Feiyu Army that dominates the world, and is the emperor's The direct troops around him have been following Lin Nan since he was the Marquis of Chencang. They have fought in the south and north, and made great achievements in the war. This is not my exaggeration. But I saw it with my own eyes. In just one moment, all the archers guarding the mountain road were killed."
Liu Xuandao: "Of course I know about this army, but it has disappeared in the past few years. It must have been guarding Lin Nan. But today Lin Nan came in person, so he naturally had to bring those soldiers with him"
Having said this, Liu Quan turned to Zhang Ren and said, "General, what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Ren looked around at the generals and saw that everyone was upset and seemed to want to surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom. He thought for a moment and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, are you willing to make an appointment with Lin Nan for me?"
"This is not difficult, butif the general doesn't surrender, I won't have the face to see him."
Zhang Ren said: "Just tell Lin Nan that I, Zhang Ren, want to ask him something before I surrender. If I ask him clearly, I will surrender."
Fa Zhengdao: "Okay, then I will reluctantly go through it again."
With that said, Fazheng turned around and walked out.
After Zhang Ren saw Fazheng leaving, a hint of gloom appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "This is a rip-off! You all come here and see Lin Nan later. All you need to do is"
After hearing this, everyone was shocked and asked in unison: "General! Isn't this inappropriate?"
"What? Have you forgotten the oath you made when you went up the mountain?" Zhang Renhe asked.
¡°That¡¯s what the general ordered, and we¡¯ll do it.¡± Yang Huai and Gao Pei said with fists in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, others also said: "But it depends on the general's orders."
¡¡
After Fazheng came out of the village, he came to Lin Nan's side.After kneeling down, he said: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and failed to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender."
Lin Nan was originally full of hope for Fa Zheng, but now he sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, Zhang Ren is a strong commander, and he has a bit of backbone. If you can persuade him to surrender with just one word, I will kill him." , it¡¯s not very useful.¡±
Fa Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, however, Zhang Ren asked me to bring a message to Your Majesty. He wants to make an appointment with Your Majesty. He said that there is a very important matter that needs to be clarified in person. If the matter is clarified, he will surrender."
"Oh? Did Zhang Ren really say that? Then what did he ask?" Lin Nan asked.
Fa Zhengdao: "I don't know about this either. However, I don't think Zhang Ren will surrender so easily. This may be a trick to capture His Majesty, and then blackmail the Huaxia Kingdom to cede a few places. If I'm not wrong, , He definitely wants Qinzhou and Liangzhou.¡±
Lin Nan said: "Xiaozhi, since you are willing to say this to me, it means that you have a way to crack Zhang Xiu's plan. You might as well tell me."
Fazheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise. Zhang Ren and others have never seen your Majesty. Your Majesty can find someone to pretend to be your Majesty and attend. Then General Zhao will protect you. Even if there is danger, it will be for the person pretending to be your Majesty." He went there, and then used his plan to attack Zhang Ren, capture him, and force his men to surrender. "
"Great idea!"
So, Lin Nan picked a man from the army who was similar in stature to himself, and changed his clothes. He attended with Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and others to protect the person pretending to be himself.
Just in case, Lin Nan asked the person pretending to be him to wear two layers of armor and a bright red cloak. The officers and soldiers of the Feiyu Army are all carefully selected from each army. It can be said that they are the best among the best, and they are selected. All of them have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield and have narrowly escaped death. Therefore, these soldiers have a fierceness in their bones and their eyes are very sharp. They can be intimidating to others with just one glance.
After preparing everything, Fazheng went to the mountain stronghold again and made an appointment with Zhang Ren. Not long after, Zhang Ren walked out of the village gate with Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, and Deng Xian. Fa Zheng led the way to the only flat land as big as a palm between the village and Lin Nan and others.
Seeing this, Lin Nan let the person pretending to be himself walk in front. He, Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and two other military commanders from the Feiyu Army followed the person pretending to be himself and headed towards the agreed place.
After meeting twice, Zhang Ren looked at "Lin Nan" and then glanced at the five people behind "Lin Nan" again. Their aura was very impressive. It's simply better than them. Behind the rocks not far behind "Lin Nan", the soldiers of the Chinese Army were all holding repeating crossbows. Always be prepared for emergencies.
Fa Zheng, as the intermediary, saw that both groups of people had arrived and said: "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's talk about the rules first. The two armies are fighting. The envoy will not be killed. As for me, I am the envoy of the two armies, so , once there is a quarrel or a fight due to disagreement, first of all, you can't kill me."
"Too much bullshit!"
"Afraid of death!"
¡°Courageless bandit!¡±
¡¡
The generals behind Zhang Ren all looked down upon Fazheng and cursed each other.
Fazheng chuckled and said: "Well, not bad, not bad, you can scold me, but not kill me. Now I will continue to talk about the rules"
At this time, Fazheng moved to the side of the Huaxia Army, pointed at "Lin Nan" and said: "This is His Majesty the Great Emperor of China of the Huaxia Kingdom. In terms of status, His Majesty the Emperor is extremely noble; in terms of status, you Not as good as him; therefore, in terms of etiquette, you should first visit the distinguished person before talking about anything else!"
Zhang Ren frowned, not expecting Fazheng to make such trouble. In this way, what was originally an equal talk between the two generals turned into another form of superiority talk. He took another look at the five people behind "Lin Nan". They all had pale faces and stern expressions, and they didn't look like ordinary characters. He looked sideways at his left and right, wondering if his subordinates could resist these people.
"General Zhang, what are you looking around for? First pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, and then we can talk. Don't think that there is gold or anything under the man's knees. Now your stronghold is surrounded. As long as His Majesty gives an order, your stronghold will be destroyed in an instant. General Zhang, please look over there"
Zhang Ren turned his head and looked in the direction of Fazheng's finger, but saw a soldier of the Chinese Army holding a bag of unknown things in his hand, and then lit it with a torch, and immediately ran to a far away place. He heard There was a chissing sound, followed by a loud "boom", and stone debris flew around. Such a big stoneIt was blown to pieces, causing all the birds in the forest to fly, tigers to roar and apes to cry.
"Whatwhat is this?" Liu Quan's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "It's so powerful?"
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "This is the secret weapon that China will soon use to attack the camp. General Zhang, you only have so many people. How many people can you use to bombard with such a weapon? So, you'd better kneel down and kowtow." Even if you don¡¯t kneel down, you should still bow to show your sincerity, right?¡±
Zhang Ren had a look of embarrassment on his face. He didn't expect that Fazheng would plot against him. Seeing that the generals behind him were still frightened, he reluctantly went to "Lin Nan" and bowed to "Lin Nan" together: "See you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and others immediately took action and directly subdued these people who had their heads lowered. However, Zhang Ren had a small problem and pretended to be Lin Nan's people to capture Zhang Ren. , Zhang Ren overreacted and directly grabbed the person pretending to be Lin Nan. At the same time, he pulled out a dagger, put it on his neck, and shouted to Lin Nan and others: "Let go of my men. Otherwise I will slit the throat of your Majesty the Emperor!"
Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and others all laughed when they saw this. Fazheng had already run to the side, seemingly disapproving of "Lin Nan" held hostage in Zhang Ren's hands.
When Zhang Ren saw this, he couldn't help but frowned and had a second thought in his mind. Feeling that he had been deceived, he glanced sideways at Fazheng, and when he saw the evil smile on Fazheng's face, he knew that he had been tricked by Fazheng.
At this time, Lin Nan said to Zhang Ren: "Let him go. I am the real Lin Nan. He is just one of my subordinates. Even pretending to be me is with the intention of death. If you don't let him go, then we will For one life for five, if you dare to kill him, I will kill them all together."
Zhang Ren looked at Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, and Deng Xian, and saw that their eyes were full of pleading. Under Lin Nan's threat, he had no choice but to kill the fake Lin Nan who was holding him hostage. Let go.
Lin Nan said: "Very good. General Zhang, don't you have something to say to me? Now. Please say it."
Zhang Ren lost the opportunity, and the surrounding Chinese troops surrounded them, with crossbows in their hands, and surrounded them. The people in the stronghold also rushed out, all of them nervous.
When Lin Nan saw that Zhang Ren was silent, he said: "General Zhang, there is no need for us to make things so bad, right? We have a common enemy. That is Cao Cao. Therefore, there is room for us to sit down and negotiate. I only ask now Just a word. Are you going to surrender or not? General Zhang, please think carefully before answering!"
Zhang Ren was very conflicted. According to his plan, he should capture Lin Nan and then blackmail Lin Nan's subordinates. cede Qinzhou and Liangzhou, then recruit troops and horses to continue to compete with Cao Cao. But now, it was completely chaotic, and Lin Nan was threatening himself with the lives of Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Sui, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian. These five people are kind of his old team. Some of them were his friends and brothers who shared weal and woe. It was indeed too cruel to let him watch them die.
He saw the expectations in the eyes of Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, Deng Xian and others, and finally knelt down and worshiped Lin Nan: "Long live my emperor, Zhang Ren is willing to be loyal to China from now on." If the country has two minds, the sky will strike with five thunders, and you will not be reincarnated after death!"
When Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, and Deng Xian saw Zhang Ren's move, a huge stone fell from their hearts. They are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they all agree that it is not worth it to die like this. Cao Cao massacred the city and fifty thousand Zitong people were brutally killed. Some of them were their relatives and friends. If this revenge is not avenged, they will I will never die with my eyes in peace.
Lin Nan let go of Deng Xian and winked at Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and others, and everyone let go of the others in unison. So, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, and Deng Xian knelt on the ground together and shouted: "We are all willing to surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom and serve your Majesty."
When Fazheng saw this, he walked over with a smile on his face.
Lin Nan said to several of them: "You have to thank Fa Xiaozhi. If it weren't for him, you would all be dead."
Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, and Deng Xian all looked ashamed. For Zhang Ren, it was even more difficult mentally. He thought to himself: "I have been playing hawks all my life." , I didn¡¯t expect to be pecked by an eagle today. This Fazheng looks greedy and carefree, but in fact he is a resourceful and resourceful man. If he hadn¡¯t been relegated to my army because of his rude words, I¡¯m afraid that he would be regarded as such. With his resourcefulness, he will definitely be able to withstand the Wei army for a while Hey! The Shu Han is gone, so why bother with this anymore"
Lin Nan personally helped Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Wei, Lingbao, and Deng Xian to their feet. Then both sides stopped their troops and entered the stronghold together.Zhang Ren asked people to prepare some wine and game to entertain Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and others. He personally poured a glass of wine for Lin Nan and said: "This is a remote and remote place, and there is not much good wine. Please don't dislike it ¡¡±
"Wait a minute you took this wine from my county government" At this time, the arrow on Zhang Meng's back had been partially cut off, and only the arrow was still stuck in his body. However, he didn't feel any pain. , seeing that Zhang Rencai¡¯s wine looked very familiar, he hurriedly called out.
"So what? What can you do to me?" Zhang Ren glared at Zhang Meng, but he didn't expect that Zhang Meng would also come with Lin Nan.
"You took advantage of the large number of people and stole my wine and killed more than fifty of my brothers. I will write down this account first and I will settle it with you later!" Zhang Meng hindered Lin Nan. You don't dare to get angry here, not to mention that he has several injuries on his body now. If he fights with Zhang Ren, he will definitely suffer.
"Now that we are all ministers of the same palace, if we want to settle accounts, we should settle them as soon as possible. I think this is it. Anyway, you don't know each other until we fight, so why not just make it a big deal. When the matter is turned into a trivial matter, you two will become brothers. From now on, Wouldn't it be nice to work together with His Majesty?" Fazheng hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
"The proposal of filial piety is very popular with me. Let's do this. I will be the host. I will let you two become sworn brothers. Anyway, both of you have the surname Zhang. We were the same family five hundred years ago. The brothers lived outside the wall to guard against their insults. , I think you should understand this truth. Come on, come on, say goodbye" Lin Nan laughed.
Zhang Ren and Zhang Meng were both surprised. They didn't expect Lin Nan to say this, but both of them gave Fazheng a hard look at this idea. It's really bad. However, due to Lin Nan's status as emperor, the two of them were not happy, but they endured it. They immediately found out their ages and made a hasty sworn vows.
After sworn sworn vows, Zhang Ren became the elder brother and Zhang Meng became the younger brother. Lin Nan also forced them to drink the blood exchange wine. That is, each person drops a drop of blood into the wine, and then they drink each other's blood. It's all done when we become sworn brothers.
Once the sworn sworn ceremony was over, Lin Nan asked Zhang Ren to demonstrate his marksmanship.
Zhang Ren was unhappy and unwilling to perform.
At this time, Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "I have heard for a long time that General Zhang is known as the ancestor of Bashu spears. I am Zhao Zilong, who is also good at using long spears. I would like to ask General Zhang for some tips. What do you think of General Zhang?"
When everyone heard Zhao Yun announcing his name, they were all shocked. They didn't expect that Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, the leader of the Five Tiger Generals of China, who was so powerful in the world, was actually here. Zhang Ren looked at Zhao Yun and felt a bit like a hero cherishing a hero. In addition, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Huang, Lingbao, Deng Xian and others were all clamoring, and they competed with Zhao Yun in martial arts amidst the cheers.
The two people left the hall and set up a posture outside. They immediately used their special skills, walking side by side with their guns, and clicked to attract people from both sides to come and watch. After this competition, Zhao Yun knew that Zhang Ren could indeed use the Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear. He was delighted and immediately used the Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear.
Zhang Ren was a little surprised when he saw that Zhao Yun could use the Hundred Birds to Phoenix Spear, and immediately while fighting Zhao Yun, he asked: "Where did you learn the Hundred Birds to Phoenix Spear?"
Zhao Yun smiled and replied: "I learned from the Spear God of Jizhou."
"Are you also a disciple of Tong Yuan?" Zhang Ren said in surprise.
"My master only accepted me in his later years as a closed disciple."
Zhang Ren laughed loudly, sweeping away all the bad luck in front of him. He was naturally happy to see his fellow disciples. What he didn't expect was that his junior fellow apprentice was already a famous figure in the world.
The duel between the two people attracted bursts of applause from the surrounding people. The people around them were also excited. Although they were a little surprised that they learned from the same master, they were also happy for them.
After the two people competed for thirty moves, they stopped competing and hugged each other, looking so happy. At this moment, Zhang Ren was thinking about another person in his mind, thinking secretly: "I don't know where the second junior brother, who is known as the spear king of the North, is now. If the three of them can all come together, Jia Shiquan I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be extremely happy if I know this.¡±
Later, Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, Bian Xi, Fazheng, Zhang Meng, Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Sui, Lingbao, Deng Xian and others took all the people in the village down the mountain and returned to Chenggu City. , Zhang Ren returned the stolen food and wine, and Zhang Meng asked people to go up the mountain to call down the people. The group had a good time in Chenggu City.
In the evening, Lin Nan gathered everyone, declared his intention to come, and talked about his plan to attack Nanzheng. Everyone who surrendered expressed their willingness to serve him.
Lin Nan looked around and found that there were so many people on this trip, and they looked very happy.
Fazheng then offered advice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to capture Hanzhong County directly."
Lin Nan asked hurriedly: "Please tell me Xiaozhi."
Fa Zheng said: "Zhang Meng is the county magistrate of this county. We can all disguise ourselves as Wei troops and follow magistrate Zhang all the way to Nanzheng. All the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong County are stationed in Nanzheng and various dangerous passes. There are few in the other counties." Young Master, we can collect the counties along the way. Your Majesty will continue to lead the Feiyu Army from Han River to Mian River. When the time comes, we will sneak into Nanzheng City first, and then cooperate with each other inside and outside. Then Nanzheng City can be conquered in one fell swoop, and then we can attack again. If we follow the same method and capture all the important passes, Hanzhong will be ours."
After hearing this, Lin Nan felt that this strategy was good, so he nodded and said, "Let's rest tonight, and we will hit the road early tomorrow morning. We will divide our troops into two groups and go straight to Nanzheng!"
¡¡
Liangzhou, Longxi.
Zhang Xiu and his troops have arrived at Didao, the county seat of Longxi County. Xia Houyuan and his generals personally greeted him, showing unprecedented joy. The arrival of Zhang Xiu's 10,000 troops undoubtedly added a lot of strength to the Wei army. As Wei Jun, he was naturally happy. But as a Qiang king. A little disappointed.
Not long after Zhang Xiu arrived, Xia Houyuan received a series of bad news. First, Pang De led his army to capture Wuhan, then Taishi Ci captured Daxia City, and then Ma Chao and Wang Shuang occupied Wushu Cave Mountain and Baishi Mountain respectively. .
Xia Houyuan hurriedly opened the map and looked at it. Knowing something was wrong, he hurriedly said to Xu Shu: "The Chinese army moved quickly and occupied dangerous places. They want to pin us down here. What should we do now?"
Xu Shu stroked a small beard on his chin, and said with a confident light in his eyes: "As I estimated, this is a great opportunity to weaken the strength of the Qiang people and the Chinese army. The general is here After a short break, I'll go find Cheriji and ask him to send troops to attack the Chinese army."
Xia Houyuan asked: "Will Cheliji send troops?"
"Hey, I have a way to get him to send troops, so the general doesn't have to worry about it." After saying that, Xu Shu left quickly.
In Didao City, Qiang King Cheliji called Mi Dang to his side and was asking Zhang Xiu about the situation of his troops. When he saw Xu Shu coming from outside, both of them stood up immediately. Cheriji went to greet Xu Shu enthusiastically.
"Master Xu, you are a distinguished guest. Why do you have the time to come here to see me today?" Cheriji welcomed Xu Shu into the room and said with a smile.
"Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Xu Shu asked with a nervous look on his face as soon as he sat down.
"What do I know?" Cheriji also looked suspicious.
"Ouch!" Xu Shu slapped his thigh suddenly, stood up immediately, and walked to Cheriji. He said: "Your Majesty, the Chinese army has made new moves in the past two days. Pang De captured Wuhan, Taishi Ci captured Daxia City, and Ma Chao captured Baishi Mountain. Wang Shuang stationed troops in Wushu Cave Mountain to capture us. They are all surrounded here.¡±
"Oh, what does General Xiahou mean?" Cheriji asked shrewdly.
Xu Shu said: "Of course it's a counterattack! General Xiahou is going to lead his army to fight Ma Chao and Wang Shuang, but he hopes that the king can attack Daxia and Panhan. Especially Panhan, this place is extremely dangerous and connects Longxi and the Qiang people. The main road of the tribe is also the place where the king must transport food and grass. If it is not captured, it will cause great disaster. "
Cheriji pretended to be surprised and asked: "That won't work. I have to take back Wuhan. Your Excellency, please go back and tell General Xiahou that I will send troops immediately. I don't believe it. Little Wuhan, I have an army of 200,000." It can¡¯t be captured yet.¡±
Xu Shu said: "Well, I will convey the king's wishes. Then I will go back now and convey it to General Xiahou."
"Master Xu, I have something to ask Master Xu for help. Our army came in too hastily and did not carry much food and grass. From here to Panhan, the road is difficult to walk. However, the Chinese army occupied Panhan and cut it off. If my supply line is blocked and the team transporting food and grass cannot get through, we will have nothing to eat. We only have enough food and grass to last for one day. We want to borrow some food and grass from Mr. Xu," Cheriji said with a sad look.
After Xu Shu heard this, he thought to himself: "This old fox is actually waiting for me here"
He frowned, showing a look of embarrassment on his face, and said to Cheriji: "Your Majesty, I should have followed your suggestion, but you also know that our money and food in Liangzhou are all hoarded in Jicheng. Now Jicheng Occupied by the Chinese army, Didao City can only barely maintain a little food and grass, which may not last even half a month. The king's army of 200,000 is indeed a large number for us, even if it is a general. The entire city of Didao was turned upside down, and it was barely enough to sustain food rations for five days"
"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't force others to do anything. At most, I will kill horses to satisfy hunger" Seeing that he didn't get any advantage, Cheriji shook his head.The head said, "I can understand, but I'm afraid the tribal leaders under me can't understand. Why did they come here after all the hardships? Isn't it just to help you Wei people repel the enemy? We don't want to do anything." I don¡¯t want money, I don¡¯t want power, I just want temporary morality, so I come to help without any conditions. How should I explain this to my subordinates"
"Your Majesty, what else are you trying to explain? We are doing a thankless job. We are fighting for others, and we are not fighting for ourselves. The worst we can do is to defeat Panhan, and we withdraw our troops back to Qiang. The Chinese army will definitely not dare to attack us for the time being. It has nothing to do with us, so why bother? How worried are you?" Mi Dang interrupted at the right time.
After Xu Shu heard this, he thought to himself: "The old fox is indeed not simple. The little foxes he has taught will know how to act based on his eyes. It seems that we really need to give them some food and grass as a meeting gift"
Thinking of this, Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, let's do this. We can't take out the extra food and grass. At most, we can spare one day's rations. With Your Majesty's army, we can attack a small Panghan in less than half a day." ?¡±
"It can be captured in an hour!" Mi Dang suddenly interrupted to show off the power of the Qiang people.
Who would have thought that as soon as Midang said these words, Cheliji rolled his eyes and gouged Midang fiercely. When Mi Dang saw this, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Shu chuckled and said: "This is the best, then we will support the king with one day's ration. From here to Panghan, the cavalry will take almost a day to march. Even if the king attacks the city with a tired army, he will definitely be able to capture Panghan quickly. , I don¡¯t know what the king¡¯s intention is?¡±
Cheriji said: "Then it's Mr. Laoxu."
Xu Shu said: "It doesn't matter, are we all allies? If this is Jicheng, we can support it for ten or a hundred days, not to mention one day. Unfortunately, this is Didao, and the food in the city is limited. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Cheriji said: "It is enough to have Mr. Xu's heart."
Xu Shu clasped his fists and said: "Then I will go and prepare food and fodder for the king first. The king can gather his troops and horses. I will send someone to deliver them in a moment. Take your leave."
"I won't send it away."
Seeing Xu Shu leave, Cheriji's smile faded. After Xu Shu left completely, his face became gloomy, he glared at Mi Dang angrily, and said resentfully: "It's okay from now on, don't interrupt! We could have asked the Wei army to store more food, which would have reduced the strength of the Wei army, but just because of what you said just now? You have such a strong tone. The location of Panhan is difficult to defend, and it is difficult for you to attack it for an hour. If you can capture Panhan, I will let you do this as King Qiang!"
Mi Dang felt ashamed on his face. He originally wanted to show how powerful the Qiang people were, but he didn't know that it ruined Cheli Ji's good deeds.
According to Cheriji's own ideas, he should first explain to Xu Shu the difficulty of attacking Panhan, and then talk about the fact that his troops have traveled a long distance and are exhausted. In short, he should try every means to make Xu Shu believe that his troops are weak and vulnerable. , and also wanted Xu Shu to know that it would take at least ten days to attack Panhan, so as to obtain more food and grass and gradually reduce the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.
"However, such a perfect plan was completely ruined because of Mi Dang's words. He only got a day's worth of food, as if he had received a charity.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Mi Dang saluted.
"Forget it, it was an unintentional mistake on your part. Go immediately and send an order, calling on the entire army to march in the direction of Panhan. Not a single soldier should be left behind in Didao," Cheriji said.
Mi Dang asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, don't you leave a single soldier? Although Wuhan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he doesn't need an army of 200,000?"
"You know nothing! Who told you that I am going to attack Wu Han? Wu Han is so difficult to fight, how can you eat it in one day? Leave it to the Iron Chariot Soldiers who will come later. Cheri Xiang will command the Iron Chariot Soldiers. Han won't be able to hold on for long. Both Han and Daxia will be occupied by us. Since we are going to go to war, we will have to suffer some hardships for the Chinese army." Cheriji said with a smile.
Mi Dang really didn¡¯t understand. Although he knew that Cheriji¡¯s brother Cherixiang was leading the iron chariot soldiers behind him, he still couldn¡¯t understand why Cheriji withdrew his army to go to Panhan. He asked: "Your Majesty, why don't we go in the direction of Fanhan if we don't attack Fanhan?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
