0635 Painstakingly lonely
Qin Su is the young man with a white face and short beard who Huang Quan met earlier, and as soon as he was ready to enter the tent, he lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, stepped forward on his knees, and exclaimed: "The son-in-law and slave knocked on the father-in-law, and noticed that the father-in-law has been sad recently, and he dared to beg for a happy face." ”
Huang Quan, who was sitting at the table, was still frowning slightly, but when he saw Qin Su's state, he couldn't help but smile, this slave's humble state can always give people joy like this. What is the father-in-law's son-in-law, but when Huang Quan went out of the town to summon the families in the realm, this Qin Su brought a woman to see, the woman was not lacking in beauty, and was detained by Huang Quan to enjoy it, and then returned a maid who pretended to be his own girl, but he didn't expect this slave to accept it willingly, and since then he has climbed up.
"Get up again, come and sit down."
This Qin Su is just a despicable joke in Huang Quan's eyes, and naturally he has no family affection to speak of, but often makes Huang Quan quite disgusted because of his flattery.
However, this kid has helped Huang Quan a lot, originally when Huang Quan was here at the beginning, he planned to exterminate the various families in the realm to get rid of the troubles, but thanks to this Qin Su Jinyan, he clarified the contradictions and old grievances of each family, and disintegrated them respectively, so that each family could accept the proton and be subject to him.
The reason why he wants to leave the various families in the territory, Huang Quan also has his own difficulties, he is alone, and there is no reliable way to provide a steady stream of support, if it is just Kou to cross the border, then there is nothing to say, naturally he wants to plunder for food. However, at that time, I didn't know how long I would be stationed in Hefei, so I naturally had to have a long-term plan to continue to get supplies.
There are a lot of fierce soldiers in the Huang Quan Department, but if it comes to persuading farmers to teach farming, they really can't pick out a talent in this area. Although all the people in the vicinity were plundered and driven to the town, they never managed a large-scale cantonment, so in the past, they relied on extortion to maintain the supply of the army.
In this respect, this Qin Su really helped him a lot, if it weren't for this son's many contributions, it would be difficult for Huang Quan to maintain it to this day. But even so, Huang Quan still doesn't like this kid, in addition to the fact that this kid is too despicable and disgusting to him, but also because he sees a trace of Cheng Yao and other Jin thieves from this son.
But it is precisely because of this that Huang Quan did not get rid of Qin Su, every time he saw such a despicable posture of this son, he could think that Cheng Thief and others were so shameless in front of the lord, and there would be a different kind of joy in his heart.
Although Huang Quan had already opened his mouth to let Qin Su get up, he still crawled all the way to the front, and then sat on the seat cautiously like a dog guarding the household, his head and face were not lacking in dust, but he didn't care, just looked at Huang Quan with a respectful face, and said: "The southern thief is coming, and the son-in-law only hates the weak and has no power to defeat the armor, and he can't go to meet the enemy with a blade in person, thinking that his father-in-law is worried about it." But if the father-in-law is useful, the son-in-law will break his courage and blood and live up to the kindness of the father-in-law! ”
"Zizhong has such a strong heart, so why should he be too humble. Later, I will send a gallop to help Shikou, and then Zi Zhong can be accompanied by A. ”
Huang Quan said with a smile, after seeing Qin Su's face change abruptly after hearing this, Fu Fan's white face was even paler, and he couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh: "The slave is not a brave talent, how can I not know, but to be able to say this, it is also commendable." Although there are many thieves in the south, our department has its own brave talent to break it! ”
"The father-in-law bravely crowned the north and the south, and at that time, the southern thieves came, but they were just defeated and humiliated."
Qin Su breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but his smile was somewhat reluctant, and he didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore, so he said again: "It's just a southern thief, you don't have to worry about it. It's just that there are few people in the township who are as strong as their fathers-in-law, and it is inevitable that there will be group uneasiness, and the son-in-law has also been restless recently, and he is only afraid of elbows and armpits......"
"Zizhong said this, is it because you want to persuade me to help you sweep away the grievances?"
Huang Quan said with a smile, this Qin Su is so self-conscious, what is the reason Huang Quan of course knows. This Qin family was also a wangzong in the early years, but it was only victimized by the villagers, and the family business collapsed and the tribes were scattered, so this Qin Su had many slanderous words in front of him, wanting to take revenge with his troops. But this son is just a trick in Huang Quan's eyes, how can he be driven by it.
"The old grudges of the traitors, the hatred of the broken family, the slaves naturally remember it and dare not forget it. However, now that the strong enemy is pressing the border, how can the son-in-law dare to harm his father-in-law because of personal grudges. At present, it is advisable to form a deep alliance with the neighbors of the township and break the enemy who comes to break the attack, if the township attacks each other, it is in line with the heart of the southern thief. ”
Qin Su hurriedly said.
Huang Quan only sneered when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. Can these local villagers be trusted, he knows in his own heart, and they will break the enemy together? It's just a joke, and at the moment, everyone in the realm is afraid that some people are impatient to collude with the southern thieves! However, there is a sentence that Qin Su said correctly, attacking those township thieves at the moment and messing with themselves is indeed harmful and useless.
"If you don't have anything else, step aside."
In Huang Quan's eyes, Qin Su is naturally not a credible person, and the reason why he summoned him was just to have fun. Seeing that this kid couldn't come up with any insightful strategies, he also lost patience.
"The son-in-law does have a deep word of thought to be said to the father-in-law, although the southern thief is not afraid, but he is indeed a sharp teacher. If there is a small setback in the front, it will inevitably make the nostalgia more turbulent. Nowadays, the families in the township, most of them are guarded according to the land, if they are afraid of the southern thief, they may not have secret rebellion and evil thoughts, or they will harm the father-in-law's affairs. ”
Huang Quan was already out of business, but when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning again, which was exactly what he was worried about. After a short period of silence, he asked, "Then Zizhong has a good plan to help me?" ”
After hearing this, Qin Su's spirit was lifted, and he said: "Although there are many people attached to Fengcheng, most of them are rabble, and it is actually difficult to control. Once a strong enemy approaches, it will inevitably be destroyed and decayed, and it will collapse at the first touch, not only can it not be used, but it will ruin the strength of the army. It is better to drive the remnants of Hefei and strictly restrain the order so that the thieves do not have the opportunity to requisition. Although Hefei is a broken city, after all, it is a famous city in the sea, if it is not broken, the thief's heart is uneasy. At that time, the Zhangren can divide the male division into two, one to suppress the chaos inside, the other to guerrilla outside, echoing inside and outside, and the thief is bound to be difficult to hold for a long time! ”
After Huang Quan heard this, his brows were already deeply furrowed, and it was difficult to judge whether Qin Su's plan was good or bad for a while. He came from afar, and there were not many people, but there were more than 2,000 people in his lineage, and although there were additions along the way, the real elite was only more than 3,000 people, all of whom were placed near the guard, which was the foundation of his standing that could not be lost.
The rest still had thousands of scattered soldiers, each led by his cronies, and the ring was placed near the left side of the area. And this part of the soldiers recruited and sent up are the consumables he prepared, and this time he naturally needs to be on the front line to consume the sharp energy of the southern thieves, and he doesn't expect to be able to resist Yu Yi's army at all.
What he really relied on was his own descendant army, and he would wait until the Yu Yi army was tired after a long battle, and then he would be attacked by everyone. Of course, he didn't fail to consider that the arrangement of the front formation to dissipate his vigor would cause turmoil in the people in the rear, so he summoned all the families in the realm and forcibly recruited a batch of Ding Li and grain and grass, just to prepare for a little retreat if the war did not go well, and then consider whether to fight or flee.
Qin Su's strategy made his eyes shine, and he drove the attached Dingkou into Hefei City to attract the attack of the southern thieves, while he hunted outside to find fighters, and he could also avoid the impact of the rout, which seemed to be much more flexible. But in this way, the people gathered in Hefei, and his advance and retreat were no longer calm, and he was bound to defend Hefei City and fight an offensive and defensive battle with the southern thieves, which was slightly contrary to what he thought at the beginning.
You must know that the elite of Huang Quan's descendants are not all cavalry that can gallop away, half a step and half a horse. These soldiers are the team that followed him to fight in the north and south, and they would feel distressed if they lost a Huang Quan. Although those ant people outside can't be used, Huang Quan still hasn't driven them all away, in order to drive them to death at a critical moment to reduce the consumption of his own department. This is their usual method in the Northland, to ensure the safety of their main force.
In this Huainan land, it is not easy to gather such a large-scale group of ant people, if he is abandoned in Hefei, even if he escapes back to China, most of his headquarters will be lost, not to mention that there is a Peng Biao who is eyeing him in the rear.
Therefore, Huang Quan still has reservations about Qin Su's strategy, and he is unwilling to completely trap himself in Hefei because of this.
Qin Su saw that although Huang Quan intended to move, he was still slow to make a decision, so he spoke again: "The land of Hefei is a land that must be fought for by soldiers, if there is no brave man like Zhangren to sit in charge, how can he have long-term peace?" The southern thieves are fornicated, and there are frequent internal grievances, and they are by no means a master who can attack the outside for a long time. Yu Shuyu's generation, but the relatives are lucky, and the north and south are not famous. In the early years, Dai Yuan was a celebrity in Huaisi, and he was highly regarded by the people, and his people were sent here, and the momentum was not overwhelming, but Jiangdong immediately became infighting, abandoned the town and fled south......"
"The child is heavy and slow, so what's going on with Dai Yuan?"
Huang Quan is not a knowledgeable person, and he knows very little about the old things in Hefei, so he will inevitably be curious when he hears this. After Qin Su heard this, he patiently told the old story of Dai Yuan leading the crowd across the river in the early years and sitting in Hefei to restrain Zu Li, but he abandoned the town and returned because of Wang Dun's rebellion.
When Huang Quan heard this, he already slapped his palms and laughed: "The southern thieves have harmed each other so much, how can they flee without losing their country!" However, when the eldest husband is in battle, he should win by fighting hard, how can he pretend that others will be defeated by infighting? ”
What the father-in-law said is true, and the son-in-law said this, it is not a fluke, but the southern thief has been like this for a long time, and he is used to abandoning the territory. If the father-in-law is still in a dilemma, the son-in-law is willing to be ordered to go north to ask for help, and then the male division will come south, and the southern thief will be defeated without a fight! ”
Huang Quan's eyebrows were already stretched, but when he heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning again, and he sneered: "It's been a long time, Zizhong turned out to be playing me?" ”
Peng Biao, the ruler of Huainan, longed for him to die here, if he could ask for help, how could he be entangled! Even if Peng Biao will come south, he will probably have to wait for him to fight a vicious battle with the southern thieves in Hefei before he will come to clean up the mess and pick up a bargain. Asking for help at this time is simply to put him in the back of the enemy!
"If there is no external help, is there no internal help? The father-in-law can send other troops to come out of the Yin rate, one sweeps the south of Shaobi, secretly place another nest, if the war in Hefei is unfavorable, but also come south to meet the division, as reinforcements. The thief does not know how many people are outnumbered, and there will inevitably be consternation. ”
When Huang Quan heard this, his eyes were already bright, Qin Su's so-called Yin rate ambush soldiers, in his opinion, it was naturally foolish, if he really had such sufficient troops, why would he be so embarrassed. But this idea gave him great inspiration, originally for Hefei, he was just thinking about whether to fight or escape, but he didn't think that he could temporarily settle down in Shaobi. First, I am really unfamiliar with the terrain of Huainan, and secondly, I don't want to stay here from the bottom of my heart.
Now that there is one more choice in Shaobei, his thinking has suddenly broadened. He doesn't care if Hefei is a gain or a loss, if the southern thief really occupies Hefei, then the next person to face the pressure of the southern thief is Peng Biao in Huainan, and he can't stay out of it. And he can recuperate in the south of Shaobei, and when these two fight, he will definitely have his own chance!
If the southern thief is really so powerful and defeats Peng Biao, he can even take this opportunity to directly merge Peng Biao and seize Huainan! Even if the southern thief is weak and unbearable, luring Peng Biao's division down will definitely be beneficial and harmless to himself!
It's just that how can you keep your strength while still seducing Peng Biao to the south? Or, whether Peng Biao comes south or not, how can he take this opportunity to jump out of the quagmire of Hefei?
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Quan felt that the southern thief's coming north this time was not only an opportunity for himself, but also an opportunity for the king of Zhongshan! He knew that the King of Zhongshan had always had the idea of getting involved in Henan, if he could get an initiative here and win a chance for the King of Zhongshan, then even if he retreated here in Hefei without a fight, the King of Zhongshan would definitely protect and reuse him!
"Zizhong's reckless ambush is not a dignified and righteous way! The Lord is brave, Weijia Hai, majestic and vast, if I use this to deceive the army, although the victory is useless, there is no need to mention this matter! ”
When Huang Quan said this, he already had a straight face: "Peng Biao and I have a personal grudge, and we can't harm the country because of it." This time the town was attacked, only the war, later I will put the gold and silver gifts, Zizhong you to make Huainan to ask for help, he comes or not, by his own life. ”
When Qin Su heard this, his face was full of shame, and he praised his father-in-law for his heroism.
Two days later, a cavalry team of nearly 100 people came out of the Fengcheng camp, surrounded by two carriages, and quickly headed north.
Among them, there was a carriage that rode Qin Su, who was a messenger to Huainan to ask for help, and in addition to Qin Su and a maidservant, there was another person in his thirties, with a short beard and a wide robe, and his eyes were shining.
The road was not smooth, and the carriage was very bumpy, but the few people in the carriage did not care. Just drove all the way, and soon left Fengcheng. By dusk, the car was already 100 miles away from Fengcheng.
The team stopped near a high hill with a good view, and the accompanying knights were divided into two groups, one group scattered and patrolled, and the other team dismounted and drew their sabers to chop and harvest the weeds and thorns near the left, and prepared to camp.
Qin Su also got out of the carriage and strolled through the weedy knee-high wilderness, the maid followed inch by inch, and after getting off the carriage, it was revealed that this woman was also a vigorous person, and she could still walk like a fly in this uneven territory, and follow her master steadily. As for the other person, he looked a little embarrassed, his body swaying high and low, and he staggered to follow.
There is no magnificent scenery in this suburb, but Qin Su is very excited, all the way to the top of the high post, looking around, and seeing that the person behind him is still chasing after him on the slope, he pointed at him and laughed: "The so-called four-body industriousness is Xin Shili and the like." In this world, it is not fortunate that the merit is taken right away, so weak. ”
The man who was called Xin Shili took a while to climb the high post, sat down on the ground and breathed for a moment, before laughing at Qin Su and laughing at himself: "After all, it is not as good as Brother Zizhong's physique and bravery!" ”
Qin Su also sat opposite this person, motioned for the maid to sit in front of him, and suddenly pointed to a wild flower next to him and said with a smile: "Anu go and pick it for me." ”
When the maid heard this, she turned her head and leaned over, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that her hair bun was grabbed, and before she could exclaim, a little cold light suddenly fell into her throat, and her body trembled suddenly, and she lay on the ground almost lifelessly.
Qin Su pulled out the short blade that was pierced in the throat of the maid, cut off a corner of the corpse's shirt and skirt to wipe the blood on his hands, and smiled proudly at Na Xin Shili, and then sighed: "The yellow thief has put this secret gaze beside me for a long time, and I have been practicing this scene in my heart for a long time, and it is really enjoyable to kill it with one blow." ”
Seeing this bloody scene, Na Xin Shili's demeanor was not lacking in abnormalities, and his face was a little pale, and he smiled after a while: "Brother Zizhong is bold and reckless, which is indeed rare in the world!" ”
After hearing this, Qin Su let out a long laugh and said: "In Fang Jin's life, if the husband has one or two ambitions, he is the marquis of the north and the south, and he is well-known in the north and south, how can he be silent and silent, and he is a slave!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a blood-stained red cloth from his bosom and swayed in the wind. Then, the dozens of people who had been leaning down to cut the grass at the bottom of the slope suddenly turned around, and the blades that were originally harvesting the grass slashed towards their companions nearby. was attacked suddenly, although those people were also fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, they still had no time to parry, and suddenly their heads were in different places, and blood was spilled on the spot! Even if someone noticed it and shouted a warning, they were all surrounded by the perpetrators of the outbreak and hacked to death!
Qin Su didn't seem to see the killing at the bottom of the slope, he just looked at the north in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't know if my choice is correct, whether the north can become the foundation of my achievements, but if I don't forge ahead once, I will be unwilling!" Yellow thief shallow wisdom of the husband, in the past years, I know very well, to lure him, this thief will have a big plan. I can assert that he sent his cronies to the north to ask for help, and there must be a conspiracy among them, and after arriving in Huainan, he will abandon me and go straight to Yedu, Shili, do you dare to gamble with me once? ”
After hearing this, Na Xin Shili shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong has been planning and making decisions for a long time, and he is determined, so why should I be angry." ”
After Qin Su heard this, he laughed, took out a sealed letter from his arms, directly tore open the cover, shook off the letter paper rolled into a bunch and hurriedly glanced at it, his expression had turned gloomy: "Sure enough, this thief is sneering, I don't know who Peng Biao of Huainan is, so hurtful words can provoke him to send troops?" But it doesn't matter whether he sends troops or not, he probably wants to kill me first to vent his anger. The dog thief wanted to harm me, but he did it to his death. It's a pity that we can't see this thief being killed. ”
As he spoke, he tore up the letter completely, obviously not intending to ask for help for Huang Quan. Seeing this, Xin Shili, who was sitting opposite, raised his hand to stop it, but when he saw Qin Su's face full of cruelty, he then closed his mouth.
"The thief's token will be picked up by his relatives later, and we can use it to go north and go straight to Shiji Longmen to win the trust. At that time, what can be used, along the way, we have to think carefully. Shili has built this great advance for me, and I will rely on your wisdom to help me at that time. ”
"Of course, I am fortunate to go north, Brother Zizhong and I are both comrades of the same heart!"
Xin Shili stood up, stood side by side with Qin Su, and looked into the distance, there was already the sound of horses' hooves, dozens of knights galloping over, each armor with blood, obviously having completed the task of pursuit.
However, Qin Su looked at those knights, his eyes had already frowned slightly, his face turned solemn, and he muttered in his mouth: "The state seems to be different, those who have returned are not my people......"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xin Shili beside him, but saw the other party with a bright smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's my person." ”
"You ......"
Seeing this, Qin Su subconsciously clenched the short blade in his hand, but the other party suddenly pounced, his fist suddenly rose, and a punch hit the bridge of his nose, and his vision suddenly dimmed!
With a punch, Xin Bin didn't stop, and then he flew forward, kicking the short blade in Qin Su's hand with one kick, and then the eagle stepped on his back, and the iron hoops of his arms generally buckled the joints of this person's arms. Athletic, no longer the slightest bit of the previous weak posture.
When the knights approached, they were already bows and arrows, and soon they shot the soldiers who had just gone through a battle on the slope. A knight rushed directly to the high post, his face covered with iron armor, and made a gesture to Xin Bin, and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”
Xin Bin stepped forward with Qin Su, who was pale and frightened, and bowed down and said with a smile: "It's a fluke, thanks to Mr. Qian's proper planning!" ”
