Chapter 806: The Messenger of the Root
After Xu Rong and Wei Xu's troops were united, the number of troops under his command reached 15,000, and Xu Rong was a smart man who often asked Wei Xu's opinion on the matter of attacking Xianbei in the west.
Wei Xu is an old man under Lu Bu, although he has not had any dazzling achievements in the Bingzhou Army in recent years, Xu Rong will not offend such a person, no matter what, Wei Xu must have a certain weight in Lu Bu's heart.
"The elite troops of Western Xianbei gathered near the surrendered city, and according to the news from Xizuo, there were more than 15,000 elite soldiers in Western Xianbei at this time, which was comparable to the number of soldiers in our army." Xu Rongdao.
Wei Xu laughed and said: "Xu Taishou, the Xianbei people are no longer the fierce grassland eagles of the past, the eastern and central regions are defeated by the army led by the lord, and the western part can last for a long time. ”
After many years in the Bingzhou Army, Wei Xu's qualifications are very old, and he is guarding Jinyang, which also gives him no more opportunities to go to the battlefield, but now he finally gets the opportunity, so he naturally wants to show it.
"General Wei, although the surrendered city is low, it can provide support for the Xianbei people, and if it is forcibly attacked, I am afraid that the army will be in danger." Xu Rongdao.
Wei Xu only then remembered that the main commander of the army was Xu Rong, although Xu Rong gave him a lot of face in the past, but he was only the deputy general of the army, and Xu Rong defeated the Budugen who invaded Yunzhong in the battle of Wolf Mountain, and only less than half of the 10,000 troops fled back, and he was already a well-known figure in Bingzhou.
"With Xu Taishou's intentions, what should I do?" Wei Xu asked.
Xu Rong said in a low voice: "Wait." ”
"Wait?" Wei Xu showed a puzzled look, now that Xianbei has shown a defeat, do you still have to wait for the Xianbei people to take the initiative to surrender, unlike the east and the center, the main force in the west is still there.
"Exactly, the central and eastern Xianbei led the army to defeat, and the soldiers and horses in the western Xianbei invasion of the clouds were also defeated, the western Xianbei must be the people's hearts are floating, as expected, Budugen will definitely ask our army for peace, and after the Xianbei people sue for peace, it is the opportunity for our army to defeat the western Xianbei." Xu Rong said slowly.
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Xu asked.
After retiring from everyone, Xu Rong said slowly: "General Wei, Xianbei still has the strength to fight, if our army attacks the west, it will definitely lead to the stubborn resistance of the people in the west, and when the west sends people to sue for peace, our side pretends to agree, and the western Xianbei will definitely relax its vigilance, and then the army will suddenly attack the west, and Budu will be undefeated." ”
Wei Xu's eyes lit up, and he hugged his fists and said: "Xu Taishou's plan is very clever, I admire it." ”
"The general just didn't think of this place for a while." Xu Rong said with a smile.
Wei Xu was very useful when he heard Xu Rong say this, and his gaze at Xu Rong became more and more kind, if he was replaced by the chief general of the army, would he still be able to listen to the opinions of the generals below like this.
Ge Hou came to the Han army camp under the escort of ten Xianbei cavalry, and after seeing the Han army, Ge Hou was shocked, no wonder the elite western Xianbei warriors were defeated repeatedly, and even the tripartite alliance army was defeated in the hands of the Youzhou army.
Knowing that the Xianbei people had indeed sent an envoy to come, Wei Xu looked at Xu Rong with a hint of admiration.
"Xu Taishou, you might as well order someone to scare the Xianbei messenger." Wei Xu chuckled under his breath.
"Okay, there is General Lao Wei in this matter."
Wei Xu left excitedly, scary such a thing, especially if the other party was still a Xianbei envoy, he was the most willing to do it.
When Ge Hou got the order to enter the big tent of the Chinese army, he was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, but he saw that the left and right sides of the big tent were the generals of the army who were strong and stubborn, in the middle of the big tent, dozens of soldiers were lined up on both sides, and the swords and guns in their hands blocked the passage in the middle, and there was a cauldron in the tent for cooking rice in the army, and the oil in the pot was constantly boiling under the flames
Ge Hou smiled slightly, and stepped forward, the ten Xianbei soldiers who followed behind Ge Hou were pale, after they entered the Han army, the blades on their bodies were unloaded, and it was easy for the Han army to kill them at this time.
Ge Hou walked all the way, and the swords and guns in front of him were withdrawn one after another.
"I don't want Xu Taishou to be so hospitable, it's an eye-opener." Ge Hou smiled at Xu Rong, who was at the top.
"Han Chinese?" Xu Rong frowned slightly, the Han and Xianbei have an undying grudge, in such a situation in the Xianbei people to do things, it can be seen that the people in front of them are unscrupulous for the sake of profit, there is no shortage of people in Xianbei who speak Chinese, but in pronunciation is very different from the Han people, and in terms of form, the faces of the Xianbei people are more rough.
"Hmph, General Ben still wants to think about what the envoy sent by Budugen will look like, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a Han person, a person who can even betray his ancestors, don't you feel ashamed?" Wei Xu stepped forward and said, he still had some admiration for Ge Hou's courage, but after seeing Ge Hou clearly, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
The generals in the tent looked at Ge Hou with a little unkind eyes.
Ge Hou didn't care, and solemnly saluted: "Xianbei envoy Ge Hou has seen Xu Taishou. ”
Xu Rong said lightly: "Envoy, please take a seat." ”
After sitting down, Ge Hou said: "I came here on the order of Lord Budugen, it was for the grudge between the two sides, and after Lord Budugen returned to the west, it was unwise to consciously lead the army to plunder Yunzhong, which would only make the two sides fall into deeper grudges, so I ordered to come down and make peace with Xu Taishou." ”
"Let's make peace, how can it be so easy, it's not that Budugen is afraid, but half of the tens of thousands of troops are lost in Wolf Mountain." Wei Xu said loudly.
The rest of the generals also laughed when they heard this, the battle of Wolf Mountain can be said to be very happy, although most of them did not participate in it, but they can share the glory brought by that battle to the Bingzhou army, the Youzhou army has won successive battles, and its fame is shocking to the world, as an elite Bingzhou army, they must also have a good record, which is also the reason why the generals who followed Wei Xu Rong were respectful.
"The adults were negligent and the army was defeated, but there are still more than 10,000 warriors in the east, and the two sides are fighting to the death, so why bother." Ge Houdao.
"Actually, what General Ben can't figure out the most is that you are a Han Chinese, why did you go to the Xianbei tribe and work for the Xianbei people?" Wei Xu asked.
Ge Hou's face changed slightly, it was precisely because of the identity of the Han people that he was not valued by the Han people and the Xianbei people, if he could be reused in the Han Dynasty, how could he go to Xianbei and see the faces of the aliens.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, so why should this general make repeated sarcasm?" Ge Hou replied calmly.
Xu Rong said with a smile: "It's true that people have their own aspirations, I don't know how much the Xianbei people are willing to compensate, for the sake of the same Han people, I don't know if the envoy can tell me?" ”
