Chapter 116: True and False
In the early morning, it was raining lightly.
The rain hit the top of the tent of the Chinese army, bringing a slight muffled sound.
The military tent was made of coarse and hard linen, densely stacked with two layers of weaving, and then sealed with lacquer on the top, although it was not as good as the cowhide and sheepskin used by the Hu people on the plug, but it could also block the wind and cover the rain. Fine rainwater flowed down the four sides of the tent and slowly seeped into the ground at the four corners, leaving a few shallow wet pits.
There was a damp breath in the air, and the curtain was lifted to bring a coolness, and the captain in the big armor rushed into the tent of the Chinese army, and the raindrops fell to the ground along the hem of the armor, and the young face was full of blood for the Lord, clutching the fist that held the handle of the knife, and said: "Master, there is fog this morning, which is a good time to enter the army...... The owner stayed up all night? ”
Wang Men, who was kneeling, opened his eyes, his narrow and lean face with tiredness that could not be covered by dark skin and dark circles deeper than his complexion, and he glanced at his cronies Du Wei with slightly bloodshot eyes, as if he had gently "um" from his throat with his nostrils, let out a long breath, and slowly stood up.
The heavy armor sat with him all night, and the skeleton of his whole body was unspeakably sour, and he said, "Go and give orders, and lay out the formation outside the camp." ”
The young lieutenant did not notice that the country was tired of this war, but regarded the battle situation as unfavorable, and comforted him: "Don't worry, the minister of the country, General Gongsun can be killed from the belly and back of the enemy army at noon today, and this battle will definitely be won by us!" ”
After that, the lieutenant seemed to think of something again, and was about to walk out of the tent door and turned back and said: "General, it's raining, and my subordinates have ordered the soldiers to cover all the generals' food, and the province will be flooded with ......."
"Bofan!" Wang Men seemed to be a little tired of these things, his tone was a little heavy, he raised his eyes to look at Du Lieutenant's face, his lips moved slightly, and finally pulled out a difficult smile, and said softly: "Go and give orders." ”
This young cronie, the son of an old servant, has some courage and foolishness, but only a little shrewdness. Perhaps, only the stupidest people are faithful enough.
"No!"
Wang Bofan paused for a moment, but he still hugged his fists and promised at the first time, turned around and ran into the continuous rain curtain. In a few moments, the drums rumbled, and the sound of the sergeant wielding his sword could be heard outside the tent.
In the empty military tent, Wang Men pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and pulled out a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Even if it leaks, I'm not afraid.
The morale of the soldiers was still high. Wangmen is a calm breath, when he attacked the city of Yuxian City, because he did not find military rations to make a big noise in the military tent, he was killed by Wangmen in the tent, and was indiscriminately charged afterwards, but the body was buried by Wangmen in a courtyard in the city of Yuxian County.
They had no food for the soldiers, and last night, it was the last gruel, and many soldiers complained that there was a little little little corn, but because of the smell of meat mixed with some caught chickens and ducks, they barely stopped the camp.
Looking at the silk cloth tightly clutched in his hand, Wang Men's face changed again and again, and finally shook three times as if his body was crushed by heavy armor, and he knelt on the ground again, drew the feather arrow from the quiver, and carefully and carefully tied the letter to the arrow.
Today is the time to decide.
……
"Why bother?"
Tai Shi Ci led the troops to line up the military formation outside the camp early in the morning, and cooperated with the more than 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers of Goguryeo He Hun Lu, only to see the enemy army list three military formations, I thought it was a hard battle that needed to be determined to die and could not see victory, but the enemy generals took a few steps forward and shot a feather arrow wrapped in cloth more than 200 steps, and turned their faces to Mingjin to collect the army.
Tai Shici and the other generals didn't know what was going on at all, so they had to pick up this earthy arrow and return to the camp.
There is a difference between the top and bottom, he did not open the letter on the arrow, entered the military tent and threw it to Gao Ran, who was meditating, and said to the stunned face of the general: "The enemy general sent it, maybe it is to persuade him to surrender, and Ci has gone to prepare for war." ”
"Wait!"
Gao Lancai opened the letter and glanced at it, and hurriedly called Tai Shici and said, "Go and call the captain Sima Du to discuss the account!" ”
This letter is not a persuasion to surrender, but a surrender.
Wang Menyan said that he was surnamed Zhongshan, and he had always admired the prestige of General Yan, although he was strong and I was weak, but he sincerely attached himself to the general, hoping that the two sides would stop the army and make peace...... If we are willing to take him in, we will put a red flag outside the gate, and he will make a feint at noon, and when General Gongsun leads his troops, he will withdraw his troops. Gao Ran paused here, frowned obscurely, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
In the military tent, the needle drop can be heard.
No one thought that the first to speak was the Goguryeo general He Hunlu, and he didn't bow his hand, but just twisted his brows and said in stiff Chinese: "The Han people are cunning and have to be guarded against." ”
Tai Shi Ci glared angrily, but saw that He Hun Lu's eyes were clear and did not dodge, so he suppressed his breath and said to Gao Ran: "If this matter is true, such people who betray the Lord and seek glory are unwilling to be with them; If this is false, be prepared...... Before, Tzu should have drawn a bow and shot him to death! ”
He Hun Lu just said a sentence and then stopped speaking, he knew in his heart like a mirror that no matter what was true or false, it was obvious that the west was facing this Han army that wanted to surrender to him, and these Han generals under General Yan would not let themselves go to Gongsun Zhan as an enemy, they did not trust themselves, and they would never let the Juli soldiers participate in a campaign with great influence. He was right, these Han people are cunning, and the most elite Wangcheng army in the state of Juli is always deployed by them in the most dangerous battles, but they are not yet trusted.
He didn't want these Han generals to be ignorant of the fortifications and let his Ju Lier Lang increase the number of casualties.
When the last open jaw heard Tai Shici's words, his face suddenly turned red, he raised his head and wanted to say something, his eyes stared at Tai Shici, his nose moved and he gasped for a few breaths, but finally softened his spine.
However, he was looked at by the head of the high, and said with his hand: "What is the opinion of Junyi, but please tell me!" ”
"Subordinates, there are different opinions." Zhang Jaw got up and left the table, watched Tai Shi Ci say this, sighed silently at the end and shook his head gently, raised his head again, and saluted Gao Ran with his fists in the most standard posture, and then got up and said loudly: "The royal family calls itself the great clan of Jizhou, it can be seen that there are many clansmen, and now General Bogui is raising troops in Youzhou to avenge his family, abandoning Jizhou, Wang Men is uneasy, Bogui has lost the military heart, and most of the surrenders are sincere; The door did not come down yesterday, and it stayed until today, so that I could test it so that I could see the truth and sell it at a price; It's strong and I'm weak, if we don't use it to attack, we can't do anything? It is better to use people without doubt, and let the Lord decide after victory. ”
Zhang Jaw still hasn't said half a sentence, that is, it is difficult to say whether the method that Wang Men tried yesterday was whether he came up with it himself, just with the courage he showed in attacking the empty city of Yuxian County for three days, his mind is still acceptable, and he lacks courage, I am afraid that he does not have the courage to make this kind of fake surrender.
In the silence of Gao Ran, the hour was approaching the middle of the day.
Outside the gate of the camp, a red flag was erected to hang down for the rain. 8)
