Niu Han is also a ruthless person, and at critical moments, he can really be ruthless.

For these original subordinates, he was not merciful at all, and killed them all.

He did it for a reason, of course.

First, let these people leave, the news will inevitably leak, and now he and Wang Zun's family are still in Shangtai, and the news has been leaked, and the family members are more than lucky.

Second, after the defection, he can still make a big difference, at least he can surprise Wang Mengbu, take the chicken head road in one fell swoop, and open the door between Anding and Hanyang.

Seeing that the generals who were about to leave had fallen in a pool of blood, the generals loyal to Niu Han stopped one after another, took out sweat towels, and wiped the blood stains on their swords.

Then, everyone looked at Niu Han in unison, and said one after another: "The general is as kind as a mountain to me, where the general goes, I will go!" ”

"I'm willing to follow the general to the death!"

Niu Han looked around at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "We are born as Hanchen, and we are also Han ghosts when we die!" Kui arrogant rebellion, great rebellion, intolerable to heaven, is a self-defeating act, today, we wait for the Han Dynasty, swear to be the Han, and make immortal merits! ”

"We swear to be a great man and make immortal feats!"

The generals echoed in unison.

Niu Han looked excited, and subconsciously turned his eyes to look at Liu Xiu on the side, who nodded to him with a smile.

Seeing this, Niu Han's heart became more and more steady.

He said with a straight face: "Today's events, all brothers are not allowed to spread the word, and after you go back, you should keep your mouth shut and not mention it to anyone!" ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Their corpses, wait until the second half of the night, and dispose of them secretly, and don't leave any traces!"

"Whoa!"

Niu Han finished explaining everything that should be explained, and then let everyone leave.

Liu Xiu sent Long Yuan to rush back to Sanfu and send a message to Cen Peng, telling Cen Peng the news of Niu Han's defection.

The 150,000 Long troops stationed in Wating, led by Niu Han, secretly defected to Liu Xiu, and this matter did not spread a single rumor, and even Wang Mengbu, who was close at hand, did not notice it in the slightest.

Let's talk about Long Yuan, he was ordered by Liu Xiu to leave Wating, go all the way south, and go straight to Sanfu.

To make a long story short, Long Yuan slept in the open air, rushed all the way, rushed to Sanfu, and arrived at the Han army camp.

After meeting Cen Peng and the others, Long Yuan told the situation of the tile pavilion one by one.

As soon as they heard the news that Niu Han led his troops to defect, Cen Peng, Geng Yi, Gai Yan and others were all overjoyed.

You must know that Niu Han is not a person, but a representative of the 150,000 Long army, if Niu Han is loyal to Kui Huan and fight to the end with his own side, the 150,000 Long army commanded by Niu Han should not be underestimated.

Now Niu Han has decided to lead his troops to defect, which not only makes his side lose a strong opponent, but also makes his own side like a tiger.

Cen Peng immediately made a decision, immediately repaired the book to Qi County, and ordered the Western Army led by Feng Yi to immediately march to Wating, and make a posture of attacking Wating, but in fact, it was to join up with Niuhan, and then attack Wang Mengbu together.

Feng Yi of Qi County received the letter from Dao Cen Peng, and after learning the ins and outs of the matter, he did not delay, and immediately led his troops to set off, went north into Anding County, and went straight to Wating.

A series of deployments of the Han army were also brought back to Wating by Long Yuan.

That night, Niu Han invited Liu Xiu and Wang Zun to come to his bedroom to discuss secretly.

After Liu Xiu and Wang Zun were seated, Niu Han owed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that before the Western Army arrives at Wating, our army should take Jitou Road first. ”

Liu Xiu looked at Niu Han in bewilderment.

The latter continued: "If the Western Army arrives at Wating, no matter what the battle is, Wang Meng will inevitably strengthen his defenses, which is not conducive to the actions of our army. ”

Wang Zun thought about it carefully, nodded slowly, and felt that what Niu Han said was not unreasonable.

Liu Xiu asked, "What is General Niu going to do?" ”

Niu Han Zhengse said: "Weichen thinks, taking advantage of the fact that now, Wang Meng's vigilance is not enough, and Weichen led his troops to Jitou Road and attacked Wang Meng's camp. ”

Liu Xiu lowered his eyes, his mind turned around, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "It's too risky to do this." ”

After a pause, he said: "General Niu and Wang Meng's friendship is not good, General Niu suddenly led his troops to Jitou Road, which will inevitably arouse Wang Meng's suspicions. ”

Niu Han asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what if Weichen leads his troops to go to Jitou Dao on the grounds of borrowing grain?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "With Wang Meng's mind, if General Niu leads his troops to Jitou Road to borrow grain, Wang Meng will only think that General Niu is leading his troops to grab grain, and he will strictly guard against it, and he will not even let General Niu lead his troops into Jitou Dao!" ”

Wang Zun almost laughed, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said in admiration: "What Your Majesty said is indeed very in line with Wang Meng's temperament!" It is indeed possible that Wang Meng will do this! ”

Seeing Niu Han's brows tightened, his face was solemn, Liu Xiu smiled slightly, and said: "I plan it this way, when the Western Army arrives in Wating, General Niu will lead his troops to fight, so after the defeat of the battle, he will flee in the direction of Jitou Road, so that no matter how big the contradiction between Wang Meng and General Niu is, no matter how deep the grievances are, it is impossible for him to block more than 100,000 soldiers from Jitou Road, as long as Wang Meng puts General Niu into Jitou Road, then, the next battle will be easy to fight, and under the combination of inside and outside, why worry about Wang Meng not breaking?" ”

When Wang Zun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Your Majesty is strategic!" ”

Niu Han thought about it, and nodded, thinking that His Majesty's strategy was indeed more secure than his own.

After pondering it carefully, he restrained his smile and asked, "Your Majesty, what if Wang Meng refuses to let Weichen enter the Chicken Head Road because there is a chasing army behind him?" ”

"If more than 100,000 troops are wiped out outside Jitou Dao because of Wang Meng's relationship, Wang Meng can't afford this responsibility, and he won't dare to do it."

Liu Xiu said confidently.

Niu Han was silent for a moment, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true, Weichen has been taught. ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "General Niu led his troops to return to Han, so that the officers and soldiers of the two armies could avoid the suffering of the soldiers, which is already a great achievement." ”

The implication is that you don't need to be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions now, your merits are already great enough.

Niu Han's old face turned red, and he bowed to Liu Xiu and said: "Your Majesty reprimanded you well, it is the micro-ministers who are eager for quick success and quick profit, and are in a hurry to succeed!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled on his back, waved his hand to Niu Han, and said: "General Niu is dedicated to the Han family, his heart is commendable, whether our army can successfully take the Jitou Road and open the passage from Anding to Hanyang, we still need General Niu's strong help!" ”

Niu Hanteng stood up suddenly, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said: "Weichen should do his best, and it is his duty to do his best!" ”

A few days later, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Feng Yi arrived in the Wating Defense Area.

Niu Han did not waste time, and immediately sent his henchmen to Jitou Road to ask Wang Meng for help.

If Wang Mengken sends troops to reinforce Wating, it will naturally be better, if Wang Meng is unwilling to send troops to reinforce, then it doesn't matter, the so-called request for help is just a formality.

Niu Han's henchmen rushed to Jitou Dao, entered the camp of Wang Mengjun in the valley, and after seeing Wang Meng, this henchman immediately knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said urgently: "Villain Huang Bin, meet General Wang!" ”

Wang Meng lowered his eyes, glanced at Huang Bin, and didn't say a word.

The generals on both sides laughed one after another.

Seeing that Wang Meng didn't speak, Huang Bin could only be bold and said in a trembling voice: "General Wang, big ...... Big things are not good, West ...... The Western Expeditionary Army came to attack Wating in a big way, and General Niu sent villains to ask General Wang for help! ”

"Oh! It turned out that they came to borrow troops from me! ”

Wang Meng finally spoke, and asked in a strange manner: "You General Niu, how many soldiers and horses do you plan to borrow from me?" ”

"The more the merrier, the most ...... Preferably 50,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Huang Bin whispered.

Wang Meng leaned forward and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”

"Five...... 50,000 ......" "Want to borrow 50,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

Wang Meng raised his eyebrows, looked at his left and right, and said in an accentuated tone: "Did you hear, Niu Han wants to borrow 50,000 soldiers and horses from me!" ”

"Haha-" Everyone present, as if they had heard many funny jokes, laughed out loud, and Wang Meng also burst into laughter.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Meng restrained his smile and said: "Huang Bin, you go back and tell Niu Han that I, Wang Meng, was ordered by the king to garrison Jitou Road, and I have a great responsibility, but my troops are limited, and it is difficult to send a soldier to reinforce Wating." ”

Huang Bin's face changed, and he said urgently: "General Wang......" Wang Meng waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be difficult for you, and you don't have to say more."

There are 150,000 people under Niu Han's command, and the Western Expeditionary Army, full of battles, is only 100,000 people, 150,000 against 100,000, if he can't win, General Niu is too ashamed of the king's high hopes for him. ”

"General Wang—" "Go back and get back to your life!" ”

Wang Mengyi waved his hand and said, "Send Huang Bin out of the camp!" ”

Before Huang Bin could speak, two guards stepped forward, set Huang Bin up, and dragged him out of the Chinese military tent.

After Huang Bin was taken away, everyone began to talk about each other.

One of the generals said: "General, although there are 150,000 people under Niu Han's command, 50,000 of them are new soldiers. ”

Wang Meng laughed out loud, and said in a firm tone: "Even if he gives Niu Han 150,000 elite soldiers, he can't defeat the 100,000 Western Expeditionary Army." ”

The combat power of the Western Expeditionary Army is too strong, and Feng Yiyou is a person who is very good at using soldiers, Niu Han led his troops to confront the Western Expeditionary Army, and defeat was inevitable.

Hearing his words, everyone looked at each other, and another general arched his hand and said, "General, your lips are cold and your teeth are cold!" Once Niu Han is defeated in Wating, then the next person to face the Western Expeditionary Army will be our department! ”

To be honest, no one wants to face the Western Expeditionary Army, and it would be great if Niu Han could resist the Western Expeditionary Army in Wating.

Wang Meng smiled slightly and asked, "Even if Niu Han is defeated, after all, he will wave 150,000 people, will it cause casualties to the Western Expeditionary Army?"

Cause attrition? ”

The generals were stunned and nodded one after another.

Wang Meng continued: "Where will the defeated Niu Hanbu go?

Will it be withdrawn to the Chicken Head Road where we are stationed? ”

A middle-aged general showed a sudden realization and said: "What the general means is to let Niu Han consume the strength of the Western Expeditionary Army first, and when Niu Han is defeated, our side will recruit Niu Han's remnants of the defeated generals and incorporate them into our army, so that the strength of the Western Expeditionary Army will weaken, and our strength will be greatly enhanced.

In this way, Niu Han has the fault of defeat, and the general has the merit of blocking the enemy, and when the king is rewarded for his merits in the future, our general does not know how much higher than Niu Han! ”

After everyone heard this, they all showed a sudden realization, and Wang Meng laughed.

He said slowly: "Niu Han rat, there is no one in his eyes, today he is defeated, and he is also to blame, no wonder anyone!" ”

The generals in the camp tent bowed their hands one after another and said: "The general has strategized and won a thousand miles, and the general will be convinced!" ”
