Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 309

The next day, at dawn, at the foot of Wushaoling Mountain.

The Han army camp sounded the bugle early and called the generals to the commander of the Chinese army to discuss military matters.

Wang Ping sat upright on the couch, closed his eyes and waited for everyone to enter.

Not long after, following the sound of footsteps, Wang Ping opened his eyes and saw that several generals and schools had already taken their seats.

"The general has a headache, why didn't he take a rest, instead he hurriedly called me to wait, could it be that there is something important to discuss!" asked Xin Hong, a soldier and officer, clasping his hands.

Wang Ping nodded slightly, and said: "The general thought about it last night. Zhang Yun is now cut off from the Central Plains. It is difficult to get news. The army is hanging alone in the western border. It is better to persuade him to surrender and make him surrender to the big man. I don't know what you think?"

Deng Ai frowned, and said bluntly: "Zhang He is a general who rebelled against Wei. He has a very high reputation. His family's heirs are all in the Central Plains. How could he surrender. Besides, Zhang He is old, and what he thinks may not be fame and fortune, or his death. Fame."

Wang Ping didn't get angry, but said seriously: "Shi Zai didn't hear about Yu Jin. Yu Jin followed Cao Cao for half his life and was a general in the army. He didn't surrender to Guan Junhou in order to survive!"

Deng Ai sneered, and said: "Marquis Guan Jun flooded the seven armies with water, and his power shocked China. The villain Yujin was desperate and had no choice but to surrender. The general is not Marquis Guan, and Zhang Yun is not Yujin; the general pursues Zhang Yun, but is attacked by him. We can discuss it together."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ping's cronies in the tent all showed displeasure.

Deng Ai's remarks almost clearly stated that Wang Ping was whimsical, and satirized his poor military skills.

Wang Ping clenched the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, but his face remained calm, and he said lightly: "If you don't try, how will you know that Zhang He intends to surrender? I don't know who dares to accept this order, Go deep into the enemy camp and persuade Zhang Yun to surrender, so as to help the Han restore Liangzhou."

Everyone in the tent looked at each other and fell into silence.

Seeing this, Xin Hong, a confidant of Cao Cao, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and went out, saying: "General, Hong dares to ask for orders. I would like to follow the example of the ancient discerners and persuade Zhang He to surrender, so as to help the general pacify Liangzhou."

Xin Hong, courtesy name Bo Shuo, was a talented man of the Xin family in Longyou County. He was proficient in military affairs, proficient in scriptures, and good at military affairs.

Two years ago, after the Great Han conquered Longyou, Xin Hong and a group of Longyou children entered Han as officials, and Xin Hong was assigned to Wang Ping's tent. Relying on his pragmatism and diligence, he was deeply loved by Wang Ping.

Looking at Xin Hong's resolute eyes, Wang Ping couldn't help hesitating, and said, "Bo Shuo should be more careful during this trip, and he must protect himself."

"No!" Xin Hong clapped his hands in reply.

Wang Ping also instructed Xin Hong to pay attention to some matters, and he asked Xin Hong to set off immediately without delaying the important task of persuading the surrender, and asked his trusted soldiers to go west with his "guards".

After Xin Hong left, Wang Ping restrained his expression, looked around the crowd and said, "Everyone, go to the Chinese army's tent to discuss military matters first, after eating the court food."

After all, Wang Ping paid the bill first, the generals of the Han army had no idea what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Ping's gourd, but because of his position as the chief general, no one dared to complain and could only listen to Wang Ping's arrangements.

Deng Ai stood there stroking his beard and thinking, but he didn't know what Wang Ping wanted, so he could only press his sword to get out of the account.

In the empty tent, a roll of bamboo slips was placed on the table half-hidden.If someone looks closely, they can see the biography of Marquis Huaiyin; if they look carefully, they can see that the three characters Li Shiqi have been heavily circled by Wang Ping with a brush.

At dusk, the bugle calling for the assembly of the generals sounded again, and the generals gathered in the tent.

Wearing armor and wearing a tiger sword on his waist, Wang Ping walked into the tent majestically under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Wang Ping sat upright, looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Order the whole army to prepare for battle and set off tomorrow to pursue Zhang He."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed drastically. In the early morning, they still sent people to persuade Zhang He to surrender, but after a few hours, they changed the military order and chased Zhang He tomorrow.

Ji Xin took a step forward and asked puzzledly: "Our army has been noticed by Zhang He, and he attacked our army a few days ago. Now our army has just retreated, and now we are chasing him. What's the reason?"

Wang Ping held the Tiger Mighty Sword in his hand, and said calmly: "From time to time, the situation of the current battle will change. The situation will help my big man. It would be a pity if we don't strike him."

Deng Ai didn't make a sound, but stroked his beard and pondered, thinking about Wang Ping's series of actions.

Ji Xin, who had always been convinced of Wang Ping, did not ask any more questions, and asked for orders: "This morning, the general ordered Bo Shuo to go on an envoy to persuade Zhang He to surrender. Our army pursued him, and the general ordered him to call him back. Otherwise, our army will arrive at the time." , Bo Shuo has arrived at the enemy camp, and his life may be in danger."

Wang Ping breathed out a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "This is the strategy of the Marquis of Huaiyin (Han Xin) to attack Qi. As for Bo Shuo, Ping is ashamed of him, but Zhang He's life is not enough. If you miss the good opportunity, you will die." It's hard to get out of the state!"

Hearing the words Huaiyinhou Zhice, Deng Ai suddenly became enlightened, and instantly understood Wang Ping's series of strange actions these days.

When the Chu and Han were fighting, Li Shiqi went to Qi to persuade him to surrender to the Han.However, Han Xin took advantage of the slackness of Qi State and raised his troops eastward, smashing Qi State and pacifying Qi.

After a pause, Wang Ping raised his voice and said: "If our army's night attack on Zhang Yun is successful, even though Bo Shuo has arrived at Weiying, there is still a little chance of survival. If there is a mistake, Ping will go to the table and ask your majesty to seal Hou Mengzi. Besides, as a general How can one person's life ruin a major event! If the surprise attack on Zhang He fails, I would like to plead guilty to His Majesty with my life."

Deng Ai pondered for a moment, and agreed: "Our army was detected and defeated by Zhang He. With Zhang He's heart, he will definitely relax his guard at this time. Our army will send envoys to the camp again to persuade Zhang He to surrender. The success or failure is the second, but you can be arrogant. Zhang He's heart made the Wei army relax their vigilance and not take our army seriously. If our army can attack him at this time, it will definitely defeat Zhang He."

Wang Ping glanced at Deng Ai, nodded slightly, and said: "What Shi Zai said is exactly what Ping thought. I don't know if the generals dare to follow Ping to go to the tiger's den again, and make him a marquis thousands of miles away?"

Everyone responded in unison: "I am willing to follow the general into the fire and water."

Ji Xin looked solemn, and said seriously: "Xin please be the vanguard, and I am willing to help the general defeat the enemy!"

Wang Ping got up and looked around the crowd, raised his body and said: "Since this is the case, Ji Xin will lead two hundred cavalry as the vanguard, and the rest of the soldiers will follow along. The whole army prepares for war, discards useless military supplies, carries six days' round-trip rations, takes three horses, and takes the tail After Yu Boshuo, attack Zhang He's troops."

"No!" Everyone filed out of the tent.

At dusk, the [-] cavalrymen of the Han army who received military orders either put their saddles on their horses, hung swords and spears on both sides of the horse's belly; stains; or grooming and feeding your beloved warhorses.

Among the seemingly loose soldiers, it was difficult to conceal the ferocious spirit, and there was a sense of murderous intent.

Wang Ping continued to circle the barracks as usual, inspecting the pre-war preparations of the soldiers.And Deng Ai, as before, was by his side.

Deng Ai hesitated a little, cupped his hands and apologized and said: "Brother Zijun, if there was anything offending in what Ai said earlier, I hope brother Zijun is not to blame."

Wang Ping raised his mouth, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Everything is a matter of state, so there is no reason to blame it. Shizai also thinks about the army. Sometimes the army is slightly puzzled, and there will inevitably be some conflicts between words. Now everything is explained. It's okay. How can we wait for a man to be like a woman, haggling over every detail."

Deng Ai pursed his lips, and said gratefully: "The general is open-minded, and Ai admires him very much."

Wang Ping patted Deng Ai's shoulder with a smile, saying that he didn't need to worry about it, and walked straight away with his hand on the Tiger's Mighty Sword.
