Chapter 0502: The First Emperor's Promise
It was night, and Xihe City was as quiet as water, without a trace of waves.
On the grassland, more than ten miles of tents are rooted next to Xihe City, and the loud and Mongolian singing sound is resounding in the sky-high bonfire, and the noise is in stark contrast to the silence of Xihe City.
"If at this time, we lead 5,000 elites, I can beat this group of barbarians and flee in embarrassment!" Zhang Xiu stood on the city wall, looking at the Mongolian camp in the distance, and said with some hatred in his words.
"Give me two thousand, plus five hundred duplex horsemen, and kill them for a hundred miles!" Ma Chongman said unwillingly.
In Ma Chong's view, isn't the other party just relying on a lot of people? Originally, as long as their number increased by 10,000, Ma Chong was sure that he and the others would have the strength to fight the other party, at least they would not be defeated so badly. But in fact, although Zhang Yuan sent troops to rescue him, he was the elite of the elite of Xihe City, and he had no double horse.
But this seems to be a bit mismatched with the situation, the unshakable blade of the unduplexed cavalry, but the speed and physical strength are really irreparable defects, which is also the main reason for Zuihou's failure.
Of course, Ma Chong is not blaming Zhang Yuan, but he feels that he has failed like this, he is really unwilling, and his young heart has an urge to be repented and want to wash away the shame.
"Forget it, if you fail, you fail, go back and reflect!" Zhou Bo was steady, and after looking at it for a while, he lost interest, and said: "The lord seems to have changed his strategy, and the possibility of sending troops again is very low, and we and the Yuan army are not standing on our own here." Therefore, instead of fantasizing about washing away the shame here, it is better to sum up the experience in a down-to-earth manner, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is failure and not to reflect on weishenme failure! ”
After the night, Zhang Roupan sat on the padded jacket futon and ordered the generals who gathered. Next, they will not concentrate in one place to bypass Xihe City, and for the Mongols who are extremely experienced in guerrilla warfare, this does not need Zhang Rou to give detailed instructions, which Zhang Rou is still more confident in, even if this group of guys is a group of dry goods with muscles in their brains.
When everyone was almost gone, Zhang Hongfan walked over and said, "Father, there was no change in Xihe City this night, it is really possible that the elite has been lost!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Rou nodded, but still did not let his guard down, countless experiences told him. The lion fought the rabbit with all his might, and it was not uncommon for the boat to capsize in the gutter, and instructed: "If there is no other explanation, then it is very likely, but it cannot be ruled out that the other party wants to paralyze us." Therefore, I have decided that this time you will lead 5,000 Mongolian iron cavalry to target Xihe City. Although this is not the only road leading to the Yuan Dynasty. But it is also the most recent, and the road that intercepts the necessary place for us to retreat, there is no room for error! ”
Xihe City was built near the Xihe River, and the Yuan army was huge, and a large amount of water was naturally needed for advance and retreat, and this Xihe River became a vital existence.
Or. With that boundless grassland, where can we not advance and retreat?
"Whoa!" Zhang Hongfan responded.
Zhang Rou nodded, and said softly: "Zhongchou, your temperament is understood by my father, and I will give you two words." Patience! That's it! ”
"My son will remember his father's words!" Zhang Hongfan felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, Zhang Rou has many heirs, which is a good thing, but for Zhang Hongfan, it is also a bad place, especially Zhang Rou is fighting all year round, and there is very little time to go home, and after coming back, the time spent with them has to be shared with other brothers.
Moreover, Zhang Hongfan's mother was only Zhang Rou's concubine, and when he was young, he met his father only a handful of times.
Therefore, Zhang Hongfan has some resentment towards this father, and is very eager to be paid attention to by him.
At this moment, the personal guard walked in and said, "General, there is a secret military situation!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Rou's face changed, and she said to Zhang Hongfan: "You go down and prepare first!" ”
When Zhang Hongfan heard the secret military information, his heart was also tight, and after hearing Zhang Rou's words, he didn't dare to say more, and bowed and said: "My son retires!" ”
Soon, the eagle keeper sent Haidongqing, which has always been golden and does not contain a little impurity.
Zhang Rou knew that this was only very important information, so she would use such a variant Hai Dongqing. Gold symbolizes supremacy, and Hai Dongqing is the 'God of Ten Thousand Eagles', it is conceivable that for a nomadic people, how high the status of the golden Hai Dongqing is, what a great meaning.
The golden Haidongqing has already been domesticated, but those fierce eyes still make ordinary people fearful, Zhang Rou motioned to the eagle keeper to open the bamboo tube tied to Haidongqing's feet, and after the bamboo tube, he waved his hand and said: "Take it down and feed a newborn lamb!" Don't let him go, I still have something to explain! ”
"Yes!" The falcon man bowed his waist and answered.
Open the bamboo tube, Zhang Rou carefully everywhere a piece of broken lambskin, the sheepskin is taken from the most tender part of the lamb's body, and then refined into this small piece of thin wing-like slap sheepskin through the secret method, the text written on it is also the use of special ink, after a certain period of time will be hidden, is the real disappearance, only in a specific way to paste can be read.
This set of methods was captured by the Yuan Dynasty from the Han people, in order to prevent this set of methods from being leaked, for which Genghis Khan also sent people to permanently imprison more than 800 people.
The method of how to read the information on the lambskin was only mastered by Zhang Rou alone, he did not dare to delay the time, after a series of complicated techniques, after a small half an hour, he pasted the message on the lambskin, and at this time, the lambskin was also destroyed by the special medicine.
This kind of sheepskin is the most forbidden medicine, that is, the slightest trace of water will turn the message on it into nothingness.
"This?" Zhang Rou didn't take care of the lambskin, but read the pasted message at a glance, the whole person's complexion changed a few times, doubt, disbelief, doubt, followed by ecstasy, the whole person could no longer maintain a calm state of mind, daxiao stood up: "hahahaha, no wonder you want to kill me so desperately, and you don't hesitate to fight to annihilate the whole army, but it's a pity that the Han Dynasty is the Han Dynasty after all, and Xihe City is Xihe City, even if you are desperately trying to preserve your strength at a critical moment, Otherwise, I would have died at your hands, hahaha............!! It turns out that Yuanzhou has become a guy who is strong in the outside, haha, God help me, God help me! ”
Countless thoughts came out of his mind. His first thought was lucky, the second was that he could be confident and bold without suspicion, and the third thought was that this Xihe City had the possibility of cracking.
Zhang Rou did not doubt the authenticity of this letter, because this kind of thing was only owned by the Yuan Dynasty, and it was rarely used, and only a few people in the Yuan Dynasty knew about it, and Zhang Rou himself obtained this method because of his identity this time. This almost means that his status in the Yuan Dynasty is one level less, although it seems that there is no substantial benefit, but. What greater benefit could be than being valued and remembered or followed by Genghis Khan?
Therefore, the suspicious Zhang Rou never doubted the truth or falsehood in this.
"No, no! If that's the case, then I could have been a little bolder! Zhang Rou calmed down, and her thoughts calmed down. His suspicious mistakes began to be repeated. However, he was not doubting the truth of this news. It's about doubt. If this is the case, the other party will defend with all their might, or will they fight back to confuse themselves and make themselves unable to figure out the details of the other party.
Soon, Zhang Rou analyzed that the possibility of the other party's full defense was higher, after all. The Han Dynasty is now in a mess, as long as this matter is true, then Liu Bang is making every effort to deploy troops across the country to prepare to eliminate Xiang Yu at this time. In this way, the decision-making power of the chief general will also be weakened a lot.
After all. Sometimes, the Lord will also have to sacrifice his own jihua to think about the big picture.
Zhang Rou believed that the more wise the commander, the more he had to consider these, and he already felt that the possibility of the defense of the Qingye Fortified Wall was inseparable.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rou ordered the guards to gather the generals who had just retreated again.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the generals who couldn't wait to take people away were also chased back.
On the wall of Zhang Yuan's battlefield, he has been watching since the early morning when the sky is still bright, watching the movements of the Yuan army, and also seeing Zhang Rou recall the troops, and said: "It seems that Zhang Rou already knows that Xiang Yu has raised troops, Liu Bang has sent troops to quell the rebellion, and the fish has taken the bait!" Mr. Wenhe thinks that we should watch from the wall next? Or let the fire behind Liu Bang's ass burn a little bigger? ”
"The minister thinks that now that the lord has no way out, in this way, it is better to take a risk, and the fire can only be burned if it is bigger, and the person who can burn lose the ability to think, right?" After a night's rest, Jia Xu still looked a little tired, in less than ten days, from the Han Dynasty to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and then rushed back again, you can imagine how many things along the way, how annoying.
Fortunately, this trip to Jia Xu was not for nothing, although Zhang Yuan's shili was weak and not comparable to the Qin Dynasty, but under Jia Xu's bronze teeth and the help of Li Si, they still gained what they wanted most, the friendship of the Qin Dynasty was also a voice of the Qin Dynasty at a critical time.
It's just a slow voice, and I don't know if I will send troops at the critical moment, but for Zhang Yuan, for the entire Xihe City, it is no less than a great gospel, no less than a piece of pie.
The Qin Dynasty is strong, terrifying, I don't know how many times stronger than the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yuan believes that as long as there is this voice, it is enough to make Liu Bang throw a mouse taboo, and dare not move him in the open, as for the means that come secretly, this is not terrible for Zhang Yuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is used to sharpen himself.
After it was really determined, Zhang hiked and didn't sleep well for a night, and the excitement and excitement didn't need to be said, but the whole heart really fell to the ground, as for whether the Qin Dynasty would slow down at that time, don't you think it might be? Qin Shi Huang's promise is not only the words of the Son of Heaven, but also his own anger and swallowing the world, and it is impossible for his domineering temperament to look down on Kyushu to tolerate him breaking his promise.
In the expedition, other countries were annexed by the Qin Dynasty, only the Eastern Han Dynasty existed, and it has not come to an end until now, that is, when Qin Shi Huang was still the crown prince, he owed the Eastern Han prince a promise, and later the Qin Dynasty annexed the countries at the hands of Qin Shi Huang, leaving only the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is why it is the end.
Therefore, if other Qin Dynasty officials or Li Si privately agreed, Zhang Yuan still couldn't believe it, at least three points of suspicion, but this time Jia Xu personally met Qin Shi Huang and got his promise, although it was just a slow voice, Zhang Yuan felt like a huge pie hit him.
Even, he still has a trace of delusion that he shouldn't have, if this time the army fails, it may not be bad to go to the Qin Dynasty to mix, but it's a pity that the laws of the Qin Dynasty are too strict, which makes people respect and fear, and if it is not a last resort, I am afraid that there are few players who can stay there for a long time.
Zhang Yuan sobered up from his thoughts, and when he heard Jia Xu's words, he showed a smile: "Will the plan be released?" ”
As the lord, he is not afraid that he is stupider than Jia Xu, and even he prefers to be stupid, and sometimes it is not a blessing to be stupid?
"During this time, the Bat King has been familiar with some secrets of the Han Dynasty and has mastered several intelligence lines, including Xiao He's and Empress Lu's ......!" Jia Xu said calmly, although others are in the Qin Dynasty, they have never relaxed their attention to the Han Dynasty. (To be continued......)
