Chapter 967: Stratagem
Today's early morning in Chang'an is still calm.
As the birds above the treetops greeted the rising sun and chirped, the sage was dressed in formal clothes and sat in the hall, with low eyebrows and a serious face.
In life, the good news is often like a black cat sheriff, who takes out a gun at every turn, types four big words "see you next time", and then never returns, and the bad news is like a gourd baby, the boss is coming, and the second is coming, the third is coming, and the fourth is ......
Well, that's pretty much it anyway.
Except for Ou Chief.
Although the face of the seed shao is quite white, white and round, quite a favorite shape, but still can't get rid of the fate of the gourd baby, well, the fate of the bad news, just after getting the news of Meiyang's crisis, I received the news about the defeat of Huangfu Song in the east of Xinfeng City, and this is not counting, the officials sent by the seed shao to the surrounding townships and counties to raise money and food for soldiers again, this time they encountered a lot of obstruction and delay, both openly and secretly......
Because Li Dao and Ma Teng led the troops to the east before, the county seat east of Chang'an was basically under the control of Li Dao and others, and it was not until the news that Chong Shao and others controlled the imperial court reached these areas, such as Xinfeng, Yin, and so on, that the movements of Li Dao and others were secretly transmitted to Chang'an.
At this time, the seed Shao Fang felt a little frightened.
What to do?
Xia Mu in the west defended Wugong County, although there was a battle report to break the Xiliang camp, but Meiyang on the flank was worried, even if Xia Mu of Wugong was transferred to support Meiyang, he might not be able to protect it......
After thinking about it all night, the seed shao, who had not slept all night, finally came up with some solutions, so he asked Liu Fan to be invited.
Liu Fan also came quickly, after all, Chang'an City is very big and small, not to mention that some things are even more worrying now, so they are naturally very concerned.
"I've seen the seed." Liu Fan looked at the seed shao, and saw the seed shao's stable appearance, and his heart was slightly settled.
"You may be seated." Chong Shao nodded and said, then instructed his subordinates to prepare tea, and after a few idle words, he entered the topic.
"Seed Gong, why don't you order Xia Tingwei to lead the troops back to ......Beijing," Liu Fan was silent for a while, and then suggested.
Liu Fan actually wanted to say that he ordered Fei Qian to be recalled and asked Fei Qian to rush back from Sucheng to assist, after all, from Sucheng to Chang'an, the fast horse is three or four days, and it is completely too late in time.
But after all, you can't say it directly, if you really do this, it will almost be equivalent to slapping the face of the seedling, after all, it was the seeding that decided to say whether he wanted to grant Feiqian a heavy responsibility......
The eyelids of the seed shao were pulled, paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "You must first break the enemy in the west of the city before you can return to the east of the army...... Under the Li thief, there are many cavalry, if Xia Tingwei returns to the army, Li thief and Han Fan and other thieves gather in one place......"
The current situation is that most of Xiliang's cavalry are east of Chang'an, and most of the Xiliang soldiers in the west are foot soldiers.
"......" Liu Fan looked at the seed shao and did not continue to say anything.
Chong Shao said categorically: "Although the Li thief has cavalry, it is not conducive to the city, so he only needs to break the two thieves of Han Fan, and his soldiers can defeat themselves!" ”
"Seed Male...... Could it be that you have already made up your mind? ”
Chong Shao nodded, and then said: "If you want to be on the table, you will also ...... the Han thief Xinfenghou."
"Wonderful...... Liu Fan understood at once, first praised it, and then said, "...... However, this direct plan is also a thief, and the thief may not be easily trusted......"
Chong Shao smiled slightly, stared at Liu Fan, and said, "...... What the virtuous nephew said is very true, this plan needs to be successful, and the virtuous nephew needs to help a certain hand......"
******************
In Meiyang City, it is already a mess.
After Fan Chou invaded the city, he didn't have any nature to manage and appease the people, and he took his own hands and took the little lady who came up with his subordinates to get into the mansion Hu Tianhudi, of course, the Xiliang soldiers under him were like wild horses that loosened the reins, scattered everywhere, and looted everywhere in Meiyang City.
Although Han Sui felt that something was a little inappropriate, he saw that this was already the case, not to mention that he saw that Fan Chou's soldiers were eating and having fun to death, and then it was inevitable that he would be a little unreasonable to restrict his subordinates, so he waved his hand and let him go......
So the people in Meiyang are basically all wasted.
Not to mention the city of Meiyang, but no matter how small the county is, there are two large households. Fan Chou stayed in the Meiyang Mansion, and Han Sui didn't bother to stay with this guy, so he went to the city and found a big family and stayed.
The big family's surname is Luo, and it seems that he also served as the commander of that county before, so he is also called Luo Lingjun, as for the name......
Han Sui didn't bother to ask, and he didn't even bother to remember what this person looked like.
Like Fan Chou, Han Sui actually looks down on him a little, and uses force in everything, so what's the difference between him and the people of Qianghu?
What do you want to eat, say it, the Luo family naturally sent it up, what do you want to play, lose a look, the old Luo Tou with a wrinkled face and smiling like a chrysanthemum, of course, is also busy sending it to his eyes.
How can a group of martial artists who only know how to play with knives and rob know the beauty of what they are doing now?
Moreover, in order to keep his own food, Lao Luotou also sold some relatively large households with savings in the surrounding area, and even the warehouses that Fan Chou's subordinates could not find were excavated under the guidance of Lao Luotou......
Therefore, when Han Sui faced Lao Luotou, he smiled more and more kindly, and under Lao Luotou's flattery, he had a comfortable day for two days.
However, happy times are always short-lived, and Han Sui's leisurely time was soon broken.
"Hehe......"
Han Sui flipped over the seal ribbon of Xinfenghou that was sent to his hand, although he tried his best to restrain himself, but the joy in his heart still couldn't be concealed.
Now he is also a Hou Ye!
O liehou!
In one fell swoop, I skipped the Guannei Hou and went directly to the liehou......
The Han family now has a Hou Ye! Han Sui really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he still managed to control his excitement and not act too excited.
"General Fan has arrived!"
The sound of his own soldiers coming from outside the courtyard came from the report, but before he could respond, Fan Chou had already strode in from outside.
The faint smile on Han Sui's face was immediately retracted, and then it bloomed again, and he gently placed the seal ribbon in his hand on the table, and then greeted him: "Ah, General Fan, why did you come to Brother Fool today?" ”
Fan Chou snorted, and then walked into the hall, and saw the seal on the table at a glance, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and grabbed the golden seal in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, threw it up and down twice, and said: "Ha! It's still true! I didn't expect General Han to really become the Hou Ye...... In the future, are you going to call you Han Houye? ”
"Haha, polite, polite ......" Han Sui heard the words "Han Houye", and couldn't help but subconsciously respond, and immediately saw Fan Chou's face, instantly put away the smile that had just climbed up the corner of his mouth, and said solemnly, "...... What is the Hou Ye or not the Hou Ye, just a liehou, and a certain one is not taken into account at all...... It's also called a certain general, it's ......"
"Oh?" Fan Chou squinted at Han Sui, and then threw the golden seal of the Xinfeng Pavilion Marquis in his hand on the table with a bang, and then went around and sat down.
Han Sui's gaze followed the newly baked gold seal that was still bright and bright on the table, and he watched this gold seal smash on the table, as if the corners had been knocked a little bit, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching covertly, and then he turned his gaze away.
"I heard that the imperial court is also preparing to make General Fan a marquis, maybe the angel is on the way......" Han Sui smiled, and then sat down with Fan Chou.
"Humph!" Fan Chou said disdainfully, "Cut...... Lao Tzu killed so many court members and gave Lao Tzu a marquis? Why, the more you kill, the higher you can't seal? Then if that little emperor is slaughtered, Lao Tzu will be able to become the emperor?! ”
"......" Han Sui was speechless.
Fan Chou rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "What, Master Han, do you want to go to Kyoto to take office?" If you need the younger brother to prepare some Cheng Yi, even if you open your mouth, the younger brother can make it up for Han Houye! ”
The flesh on Han Sui's cheeks jumped, and said with a smile: "How come!" This is clearly the strategy of the people of Chang'an, how could someone be fooled! ”
"Oh?!" Fan Chou sat up straight, looked Han Sui up and down, and then said, "What do you say?" ”
"To be honest, the foolish brother didn't be able to see it at first...... After all, it's a Hou, isn't it, how many people want it and can't get it, the foolish brother was naturally confused for a while, but ......" Han Sui twisted his beard slightly, paused, his eyes rolled slightly from side to side a few times, and then said, "...... This is a plan to divide and delay the army, how can it be concealed? ”
“…… "Han Sui said with a serious face, "...... Naturally, it is the emotion between you and my brother, if the virtuous brother is suspicious, it will inevitably be a little discordant on the way to the army, which naturally gives the side martial arts army an opportunity to take advantage of...... Think about it, Brother Xian, if you and I really fell out over such a so-called false name, wouldn't those guys in Chang'an be so happy that they died? ”
Fan Chouba smashed his mouth twice, tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded and said, "What Brother Han said, it seems to be the truth......
“…… Is it...... Think about it again, where is Xinfeng? It's in the east of Chang'an, far from here! Han Sui slapped his face and continued, "In this way, isn't the meaning of those guys in Chang'an very clear?" If a certain heart is moved, and he really goes to Xinfeng to be a marquis, then he will not be separated from the virtuous brother, and once you and I are separated, the strength of the army will inevitably be reduced a lot, so that you and I can only end up being broken by each one! Virtuous brother! You know, now you and I will win if we work together, and we will lose twice! Don't easily fall for the tricks of the people of Chang'an! ”
When Fan Chou heard this, he suddenly slapped on the table with a slap, and said angrily: "These brave guys only know how to play conspiracy!" ”
Han Sui smiled and nodded.
"By the way, Brother Han just said that there is any ...... to delay the army" Fan Chou looked at Han Sui, leaned forward slightly, and said.
"Huh? Oh......" Han Sui nodded, "...... Yes, there is a plan to delay the army...... Brother, you see, if you and I are here to worry about this empty name, or let a certain have some slackness, delay the opportunity to march, and then give the people of Chang'an a chance to breathe, let them raise more troops to surround you and me, so that ......"
The more Han Sui spoke, the more solemn his face became.
Fan Chou stood up suddenly, turned around twice, and suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Han can see it clearly and thoroughly!" Maybe the people of Chang'an are attacking Brother Li, so they use this strategy to delay you and me! ”
When Han Sui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said solemnly: "...... It's a possibility......"
"You can send troops! Marching into Chang'an! Fan Chou jumped up when he heard this, "Brother Han, what do you mean?" ”
You're done with that, what do you mean by asking me again?
Although Han Sui thought so in his heart, he still nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean." ”
"Good!" Fan Chou responded, turned around and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Someone! Blow the trumpet and tell those rabbit cubs, no matter what the fuck is doing, and get Lao Tzu ready in an hour! Soldiers send Chang'an! ”
Han Sui watched Fan Chou leave, stood silently for a while, then took the golden seal of Xinfeng Tinghou in his hand and rubbed it, wiped his thumb on the place where he was bruised, and then slowly received it into the sac, and then hung it on the side of his belt......
"Someone." Han Sui lightly instructed, "Pass the order, pack up the grain and grass equipment, and prepare to set off." ”
A soldier outside the hall answered loudly, turned around and went out to give the order
Han Sui walked slowly outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Lao Luotou on the side, he smiled slightly and beckoned to him.
Lao Luo nodded and walked over, and the wrinkles on his face turned into chrysanthemums: "General, ah, Hou Ye, I don't know what to order, Xiao Lao'er will do it for Hou Ye immediately!" ”
Han Sui laughed and said, "I said, Lao Luotou, well, I've been chattering for the past two days, and I've caused you a lot of trouble......"
"Master Hou is polite, polite...... Old Luo Tou smiled, "...... Hou Ye can come to the house, that is the honor of our Luo family, as long as Hou Ye is happy, it is good to be happy......"
"Hmm...... Happy, happy, a little reluctant to go......" Han Sui twisted his neck, made a gurgling sound, and then didn't look at Lao Luotou again, walked straight and walked forward slowly, and said as he walked, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm a person who knows best how to repay kindness and revenge, otherwise wouldn't I have become a villain?" In this way, I received the emperor's favor and was named the Marquis of Xinfeng Pavilion, but I also lack manpower, right? So, Lao Luotou, your family, just follow me, to be honest, and give me a chance to thank me, right? ”
The chrysanthemums on Lao Luo's face suddenly dispersed, and his eyes widened and he said, "...... Yes! Hou Ye...... Hou Ye is kind, the little old man understands it, and he understands it...... But the homeland is hard to leave, and the little old man is also used to it here in Meiyang......"
Han Sui stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Lao Luotou and said, "Oh?!" Is Luo Lingjun unwilling to go with him? ”
Lao Luo fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowed, and said, "Master Hou!" For the sake of Xiao Lao'er's dedication in the past few days, let Xiao Lao'er stay here, it's really hard to leave his homeland...... Hou Ye ......"
"It's hard to leave your homeland...... Yes, the homeland is hard to ......leave," Han Sui sighed slightly, then nodded and said, "...... Well, a certain person is also a person who has left his homeland, so he can naturally understand it. Since Luo Lingjun is unwilling, then ...... Just stay here, and the rest of the ...... Let's be a companion......"
"Ahh Thank you, Lord Hou! Thank you, Lord Hou! Lao Luotou didn't hear clearly the pronoun that Han Sui muttered behind "others", and only heard that he could stay here, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again to thank him, and after kowtowing a few times, when he raised his head again, he found that Han Sui had gone away.
"Huh......" Lao Luotou took a long breath, and just wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that there were many Xiliang soldiers outside the courtyard......
"You ...... What are you going to do? Old Luo Tou shouted loudly, "This ...... Here it is...... This is the residence of General Han and Lord Han! What are you going to do? ”
"General Han is here?" More than a dozen Xiliang soldiers giggled, "Then who did we just meet?" Can General Han still be separated? Hahaha......"
"That's it!" A long-looking Xiliang soldier commanded, "Move faster!" If the time is missed, the whip will not recognize people! ”
"You guys! You ......" Lao Luotou was still waiting to be stopped, and was suddenly kicked to the ground by a Xiliang soldier in the chest, and then he was kicked down on the head with a heavy kick, and smashed to the bluestone on the ground.
Blood flowed down from the top of his head along the wrinkles on Lao Luo's face, and it seemed that every wrinkle was soaked with blood, and his eyes became a blood red. Lao Luotou raised his head reluctantly, trembling, weakly trying to get up again, but he couldn't turn over, and finally could only spread on the ground, only to hear bursts of laughter from the Xiliang soldiers in the courtyard, mixed with the angry shouts and screams of his familiar family......
"Oh my God...... Lao Luo looked up at the blood-red sky, and spit out a few blood bubbles, "Thief God, open your eyes......"
