Chapter 56 Trust and Deception

Yesterday, after discussing with Dong Cheng's generals for a long time, Liu Xie already understood the basics of the battlefield warfare. Now listening to Xu Huang's explanation of Yang Ding's position deployment, understanding is no longer a problem, and the questions asked are more professional.

Xu Huang didn't say anything, but was quite surprised in his heart.

I have long heard people say that the son of heaven is intelligent and surpasses ordinary people, and he really deserves his reputation.

Some people, some things, are just born.

Just like when Gaozu talked with Zhang Liang.

After listening to Xu Huang's explanation, Liu Xie asked: "Is it an advantage or a disadvantage for Yang Xiu, Guo Wu and Duan Yan to stay in the rear general's camp with more than a thousand cavalry?"

Xu Huang had been prepared for a long time, and said without hesitation: "Although General Emeritus does not agree with General Ning Ji, he is very congenial with Yang Shilang. If Yang Shilang is in charge of the thousand-foot cavalry, General Emeritus should not object. If there are disadvantages , that is, with the extra thousand steps, the general’s food consumption will increase, and the support time will be shorter. However, this is not important.”

"Why is it not important?" Liu Xie asked back.

Xu Huang pondered for a while. "I believe that Guo Si is unlikely to attack the general's position by force, so we should choose another place to break through."

"for example?"

"Here." Xu Huang stomped his feet lightly. "When I returned to the camp, I saw a large number of rangers cruising in front of the general camp in Anji, as if they were spying on the terrain."

Liu Xie turned around and went out of the tent, came to a high slope, and pointed with his hand. "In your opinion, where is the most likely position to be breached?"

Xu Huang looked around for a while, pointed to two places within sight, and briefly explained the reason.

Liu Xie was very satisfied. The two locations Xu Huang pointed out were within the scope of yesterday's discussion.

"Gongming, how about you stay in the camp and lead a team of infantry to supervise the emergency?"

When Xu Huang was under Yang Feng's command, he was Qu Junhou, commanding two hundred people in a song.Now, as Huben's servant, it is no problem to lead fifty people.

It's just that the fifty people he wants to command are not ordinary soldiers, but Dong Cheng's trilogy, and the battles are much more than ordinary soldiers.The supervising team is not an ordinary team, it is a firefighting team specially used to plug the loopholes in the front line, and has the most opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Xu Huang didn't speak, his eyes were a little dazed, obviously not mentally prepared.

"No?"

Xu Huang came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed to salute. "How dare I." He choked up a little. "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best."

"Choose four people from Huben's servants to serve as chiefs. In addition to doing your own thing well, you also have to guide them. A single tree can't make a forest. Guangwu has twenty-eight generals in Yuntai. The cabinet of my heroes can't be too deserted." .”

For a moment, Xu Huang's heart was surging and he couldn't restrain himself.

The emperor not only promised him face to face that he would enter the cabinet of heroes in the future, but also asked him to teach others. What kind of trust is this?

He had been under Yang Feng's command for several years, but Yang Feng didn't regard him as his own.It was only a few days for him to be a minister of the emperor, but he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor. Such an opportunity was once in a thousand years, and it was worth everything he gave.

"Wei!" Xu Huang bowed again, bowing to the end.

-

Guo Si rode a tall Xiliang horse and walked slowly in front of Yang Ding's camp.

"This guy is doing well." Guo Bang shook his whip and pursed his lips.

Yang Ding's camp was built on the mountain, with towering cliffs on both sides and spring water flowing from the mountain in the middle. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as there was enough food, it was almost impossible to attack by force.

The rangers sent before reported that just one day before his arrival, a food transport team walked into Yang Ding's camp.

The amount of food is not much, but it should be no problem to support Yang Ding for a few days.

"Old Xie, what's the matter?" Guo Si asked.

Deputy Xie Guang kicked his horse forward, pouted. "This Yang Ding was fooled by the scholars in the Central Plains. He chose such a dead place to set up camp. There is nowhere to escape. We don't need to attack him by force. We just need to surround him and prevent food from coming in. It won't take long. You can only surrender."

Guo Bang grinned, and he thought so too.

"But if you don't hit me, it's not easy for Da Sima to explain?"

Xie Guang said: "We are both from Liangzhou, why fight to the death? It is better to persuade him to surrender first. If he does not surrender, it will not be too late to attack."

Guo Bang laughed loudly and whipped Xie Guang. "You are treacherous, but it's a good idea. We are all from Liangzhou, so why kill you to death? Wouldn't it be nice to fight the little emperor together?"

He beckoned and called a subordinate official. "You go to see General Empress and persuade him to understand the situation. Don't be an enemy of me and Da Sima, and let the little emperor see it as a joke. No matter how great his contribution is, how can he be better than Liangzhou Sanming? What a brain breaker. Little Emperor, make us your enemy."

The subordinate officials agreed and kicked the horse away.

Guo Si took his personal guards and walked half a circle around Yang Ding's camp.

If you want to attack by force, the casualties will be very alarming.Once Li Jue turned his face at that time, he would not even have the strength to fight back.

Can't fight, can't fight anyway.

However, it seems inappropriate for the Tong army to come without firing a single arrow.

It's best for Yang Ding not to answer so straightforwardly, and delay it for a few days, so that he can have an explanation in front of Li Jue.

It would be even better if Yang Ding was willing to surrender.He can unite with Yang Ding to attack the little emperor together and challenge Li Jue together.

Guo Bang was thinking wildly while watching, his mood fluctuated up and down.

Back in the camp, just as he sat down in the tent of the Chinese army, the subordinate officials sent to persuade him to surrender came back.

Guo Bang was very surprised and felt uneasy. Is it good news or bad news that he came back so quickly?
"Is Yang Ding willing to surrender?"

The official shook his head. "The latter general refused to surrender."

Guo Si was furious and slapped the table hard. "This Zhuzi, how dare he persist in his obsession and become an enemy of Lao Tzu, forcing Lao Tzu to kill him?"

The subordinate officials are used to Guo Si's temper, so they don't panic. "The latter general persuaded the general to surrender?"

"What?" Guo Si was stunned. "It's fine if he refuses to surrender, but he still persuades me to surrender?"

"The general later said that your majesty puts benevolence first, and doesn't care about the crimes committed by the general in Xinfeng. As long as the general is willing to surrender, the past can be forgiven."

"For the crime of driving, let the past go by?" Guo Si laughed loudly, and pointed in the direction of the imperial camp. "Just relying on that little emperor, what can I do?"

"Uh..." The subordinate official hesitated for a moment. "I heard it was Mr. Jia's request."

"Jia Wenhe?" Guo Si put away his smile, his expression unnatural. "What request?"

"Mr. Jia asks His Majesty to pardon all Xiliang soldiers, except Li Jue."

"Haha..." Guo Si laughed twice, and suddenly felt something was wrong.He got up and left the table, came to the official, and grabbed the official by the collar. "Say it again carefully, and don't miss a single word."

The subordinate officials took their time and told the story of meeting Yang Ding.

The process was very simple. Yang Ding not only refused to surrender, but instead persuaded Guo Si to surrender for two reasons:
One is that Jia Xu supports the emperor, and Duan Yan also supports the emperor.Duan Yan provided food to stop Zhang Ji, but the pincer attack that Li Jue and Guo Si had hoped for had failed, and their chances of winning were limited.

The second is that the emperor attaches great importance to Liangzhou and intends to fundamentally solve Liangzhou's problems.In this case, it is not the best policy to be an enemy of the emperor.Since the emperor is willing to pardon everyone except Li Jue, it is not a bad thing for them.

Li Jue is domineering and suspicious, even killed Fan Chou, who else would he not dare to kill?
As for Guo Si himself, let alone, they beat you to death not long ago.The reunion now is just due to the situation, who knows if they will turn their faces in the future?
Before the official could finish speaking, Guo Si had already turned his face.

Obviously, Li Jue lied to him.

The only person the emperor refused to forgive was Li Jue himself, not Guo Si at all.

Li Jue killed the two rangers because he was afraid that the emperor's edict would spread.Asking him to lead the troops to attack Yang Ding is also to make him and Yang Ding lose both sides in order to profit from it.

"Zhuzi dare!" Guo Bang was furious, shouted violently, and kicked the subordinate out of the tent.
