Wei Ni

"Come here in the middle of the night, and the childish power must teach me!"

As soon as Xiahou Huifu entered the military tent, he was grabbed by Qin Lang who had been waiting for a long time, and led him to the seat to sit down, his words were very sincere and eager.

Perhaps, it is the preciousness that has never been obtained.

After all, Xia Houhui, who has always been able to plan military battles, has never said a word to him, the main general, since the army set off from Luoyang.

"Hehe, don't make jokes in Yuanming~"

Insisting on bowing his hands as a salute, Xia Houhui withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, and said with a smile, "It's just that Governor Tian invited me over to ask some questions, which also gave me some thoughts about the war. I'm afraid I will forget it the next day, so I thought about coming here." Talking to Yuan Ming will disturb Yuan Ming's rest."

It's Tianyu's invitation, not your own?
Oh yes!

It seems that the retinue also said that Qianhong, a general under Tian Yu's command, visited him tonight.

Qin Lang, who instantly heard the implication, smiled even more, waved his hand and said, "Even His Majesty praised Zhiquan's military plan, so why bother with the modesty? Besides, why bother with the war plan?" Say. Don't say that I haven't rested yet. Even if I have fallen asleep peacefully, if Zhiquan comes over, I will definitely step back to greet him."

After all, Xia Houhui was asked to sit down, and he found two wine bags from the tent to share with each other before sitting down.

The two are sitting opposite each other, and the seats are also very close to each other.

Xia Houhui can even faintly smell the scent of incense on Qin Lang's clothes-compared to the bad Lihua of Cao Cao in the early years of Wei Wu who "the clothes are not beautiful, the curtains and screens are broken, and there is no predestined decoration". Most of them are well-clothed and well-fed, and they don’t forget to scent their clothes before wearing them even when they are out on expeditions.

This is one of the reasons why there are no successors to the governors of the Wei State clan.

Xia Houhui, who reached for his wine bag, said with emotion in his heart, pulled out the cork and invited Qin Lang to take a sip together, and then briefly recounted the meeting with Tian Yu just now.

Of course, speaking skills still need to be paid attention to.

For example, he first said that Tian Yu planned to kill Hukou in Dingxiang County and set up an ambush, and that he wanted to use the cavalry of the Luoyang Central Army to guarantee his chances of winning on the grounds that the Hulu would not succeed, and then he explained the reason why he was privately invited.It was Tian Yu who wanted him to go to kill Hukou, but because they were not familiar with each other, he was worried that if he asked Qin Lang for someone rashly the next day, he would find that Xia Houhui didn't want to go at all, so he planned to ask him about his mind.

While Xia Houhui was telling the story, Qin Lang had been listening quietly.

Sometimes he nodded lightly, and sometimes he showed a dazed expression.

Because he doesn't care about these in his heart.

Tian Yu didn't mention the matter of Dingxiang's killing of Hukou and setting up an ambush during the discussion this afternoon, and he didn't have any grievances.

First of all, he is the main general of this battle.

The duty is to mobilize everyone to work hard to win this battle so that they can go back to the emperor Cao Rui, so there is no need to delve into some matters.

When you should be confused, you have to pretend to be confused.

Besides, if Ke Bi Neng can be killed smoothly, the temple will not exclude him when recording meritorious deeds~
The other is that he knew that Tian Yu's position was different from his own.

Tian Yu was sent by the emperor Cao Rui to promote the management of Bingzhou, and he was doomed to make every effort to kill Ke Bineng.

So when discussing in the afternoon, it is easy to understand that he did not mention the ambush of killing Hukou - he must first let Qin Lang feel that the purpose of coming to Bingzhou can be successfully achieved, and then make his own request at the right time, so that Qin Lang is satisfied Under the circumstances, he will not reject his request.

"I rejected Grandmaster Tian. However, I couldn't resist the kindness, so I recommended someone to Grandmaster Tian, ​​claiming that the Cavalry Superintendent Zhang Hu, who leads the Zhongjian Camp's [-] cavalry, is qualified for the job."

After saying this lightly, Xia Houhui stopped repeating.

Instead, he picked up the wine bag and drank slowly, giving Qin Lang enough time to digest and think.

In fact, Qin Lang was already drooping his eyes and twisting his beard in thought.

It's not about Xia Houhui's gain or loss in recommending Zhang Hu to Tian Yu.

The fact that only [-] cavalry were assigned, and they were not affiliated with the Xiaoqi Battalion of his headquarters, had little effect on him leading troops north. If Tian Yu listened to Xia Houhui's suggestion, he would follow suit.

He was wondering why Xia Houhui rejected Tian Yu's invitation.

Obviously, Xia Houhui is willing to sacrifice his life for credit!

Why did you change your nature today, and be indifferent to the credit for intercepting and killing Ke Bineng?
Could it be that he has other thoughts?

Or is it because he felt that Tian Yu's prediction was inaccurate, thinking that even if Ke Bi Neng was defeated, he would not go to Dingxiang County to kill Hukou and flee to Yunzhong County?
After thinking silently for a while, Qin Lang didn't have an answer in his mind.

Putting it down for now, he raised his eyes and smiled at Xia Houhui, "After Zhang Hu is a famous general, he will definitely be able to handle the ambush. Since Zhiquan has given it up, if the prefect of Tian asks for it, I can do it. Well, let's continue with Zhiquan."

"it is good."

Seeing that he had no grievances, Xia Houhui responded with a smile, but did not continue to narrate, but asked back, "Yuan Ming can remember that in the past, Emperor Wu used to quell the battle of Weishui in Guanzhong, the late Jia Wenhe's plan to separate Ma Chao and Han Sui no?"

"I remember it."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Qin Lang responded with a nod of his head, and asked by analogy, "You mean to think that our army can separate the thief Ke Bi Neng from Bu Du Gen Xie?"

It was just a question, and before Xia Houhui could answer, he denied it first, "I secretly thought that it would be difficult to make a divorce. The former governor of Bingzhou, Bi Zhaoxian, was ignorant of military affairs, and he sent troops to pursue him and was defeated. The two thieves have the same hatred, and we will lead the army north to fight against them, they are all old tribal lords, how can An Neng fight among themselves at such a critical moment and make our army a fisherman's profit?"

"Hehe, what Yuan Ming said is right."

Xiahou Hui smiled, and spread his hands at him, "It's just that Yuan Ming doesn't want to wait for me to describe what I think, and then decide whether the matter can be achieved or not, how about it?"

"Ah~"

Immediately, Qin Lang patted his forehead in annoyance.

He suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the one who accurately predicted the failure of the late Great Sima Cao Zhen in his conquest of Shu. In terms of military battle planning alone, he was hard to come by. How could he directly question Xia Houhui before he finished speaking? Woolen cloth?
Furthermore, Xia Houhui was given the military power by him according to the emperor Cao Rui's order, but he still put the state affairs first, and came here to make suggestions for the war. This is a gesture of favor to him!

How could he deny it directly?

Even if he still refuses to take it in the end, he should argue tactfully so as not to make him angry~
A little embarrassment appeared on Qin Lang's face, and he cupped his hands and confessed repeatedly, "It's because I was anxious for a while, so I messed up. Let's say it, let's say it."

"No problem."

With a chuckle, Xia Houhui was eloquent.

He wanted to imitate Jia Xu's estrangement plan back then, but he didn't expect Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen to start a civil strife before the war, but to prepare for the post-war.

From the temple of Wei State to the generals in Bingzhou today, they are all confident in defeating Ke Bineng.

But everyone also knows that it is very difficult to seriously injure the Hulu tribe in the land outside the Great Wall, and if it can't hurt the root, it means that it is difficult to show the national prestige when the army comes to attack.

Ke Bineng has already unified Mobei. Even if he is defeated, he only needs to call some tribes from Mobei to Monan to recover his vitality and pose a threat to the border county of Wei State.

The living environment in Mobei is much harsher than that in Monan.

As long as Kebi can be summoned, there will always be tribes willing to migrate here.

Therefore, as soon as Qin Lang came to Yanmen County, he was respectful to Tian Yu and praised the strategy proposed by him. That's why Tian Yu wanted to kill Hukou and set up an ambush in Dingxiang County in advance.

Qin Lang hoped that the first battle would frighten the Xianbei tribes outside the Great Wall.

In this way, even if Kebi can summon other tribes from Mobei to restore their strength, he will not dare to challenge the majesty of Wei because of the lessons learned from the past.

Tian Yu wanted to make money once and for all.

Looking forward to killing Kebi Neng in this battle, not only will the tribes in Mobei not dare to migrate, but even the tribes in Monan will either surrender or run away because they are afraid of Wei's soldiers.

But Xia Houhui felt that it would be difficult for the two of them to accomplish everything with their determined strategies.

Because it is inferred from Qin Lang's cautious character, it is not conclusive that this battle will make Ke Bi Neng a complete defeat.

And nothing is absolute.

Tian Yu, who has been in the border county for a long time, is enough to be trusted, but what if Ke Bineng doesn't go to kill Hukou after the defeat?
It is really not advisable to pin all hopes on Shahukou's ambush.

Therefore, Xia Houhui felt that Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen had to break out of internal strife after the war, so that even if Ke Bineng did not die after the war, he would never have the chance to be elected as Xianbei Chanyu because of his prestige plummeting.

This is the premise to ensure that the border county's troubles will not intensify, and it is also the basis for the smooth implementation of the policy of recruiting.

As for how to make these two thieves fight among themselves?
Inspired by Tian Yu's strategy, Xia Houhui felt that Wei Guo could easily achieve it!

As a result, Ke Bineng and Budu have been attacking each other for many years, and it is impossible to confide in each other, and disputes will break out after a long time.In particular, Ke Bi Neng wants to be Shan Yu, and has irreconcilable contradictions with Bu Dugen.

The other is that Bu Dugen has the prerequisite to betray Ke Bineng.

He has been attached to Wei Guo for many years.

The members of the tribe have already tasted the sweetness of being protected by the State of Wei and having the convenience of trading with each other, and it is difficult to get used to the life of erratic migration and the need to gamble their lives to plunder daily supplies.

After defecting for a long time and suffering more, I will think of my previous life.

Naturally, there will be crowds to encourage Budugen to attach Wei State again.

Based on these two points, Xia Houhui gave Bu Dugen the release of this kind of "goodwill".

He planned to let the Western Xianbei tribe attached to Wei State spread the news outside the Great Wall, claiming that there was no room for compromise between Wei State and Ke Bineng, but he still felt that Bu Dugen had only gone astray temporarily and could be forgiven.

If Budugen is willing to lead his clansmen to return to Neiwei State again.

Moreover, Wei Guo can show sincerity.

As long as Budugen stays put in this battle, the state of Wei will not take the initiative to attack his tribe; "If it is perfunctory, then Wei Guo is willing to understand him, and will not have the intention of killing him.

Of course, just spreading provocative news cannot make Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen turn against each other.

Therefore, Xia Houhui suggested that when Qin Lang's warlords go north, they should first look at the tribe of Budugen, and then treat them differently during the war - chasing Ke Bineng's tribe fiercely, but not Budugen's tribe. Just evict.

In this way, a seed of suspicion can be planted in the hearts of the two of them.

If they defeated Wei, this seed would certainly not take root and sprout.

But the possibility of defeating the Luoyang Central Army is really small, almost zero.

And once they were defeated, seeing Ke Bineng treated differently by the Wei army on the battlefield, they would question Bu Dugen's double-mindedness.

This will also lead to disputes between the two.

Even if Ke Bi Neng didn't question it, wouldn't those tribes who belonged to him and were hunted down by Wei Guo not question Bu Dugen?
A loose alliance that has not completed the centralization of power is full of selfishness and mutual accusations and buck-passing!
"Indeed, as Yuan Ming said, it is difficult for these two thieves to be separated now."

After recounting his thoughts in detail, Xia Houhui asked Qin Lang with a smile, "However, if our army acts like this, will these two thieves not be at war with each other after the war?"

"Great!"

After listening to Qin Lang, he immediately clapped his hands and praised, "The juvenile army is fighting for plans, I'm not as good as many!"

That's all for praise, and he raised his wine bag to invite Xia Houhui to have a drink together, "I am a mediocre person, and because of my age, I have won the trust of your Majesty and entrusted me as a general. Since I left Luoyang, I have been anxious, lest I fail to meet your majesty's expectations. Today First I have Tian Taishou to point out, and then I have the childish power to see the advice, so I can feel at ease!"

"Yuan Ming said too seriously."

He raised his wine bag and took a sip. Xia Houhui wiped his beard with the back of his hand, and said jokingly, "You and I are both serving the country, so what's the difference? Yuan Ming is worried about war, so he thinks I'm playing tricks all day long?"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Qin Lang laughed heartily, and stood up and made a sincere salute, "No matter what, I will never forget Zhiquan's help. Well, I wholeheartedly agree with the strategy that Zhiquan said. , I will go over to discuss with Governor Tian the next day when he returns from his trip."

Xia Houhui, who also stood up, shook his head immediately.

Without thinking about it, he declined, "Yuanming, let's go. I just made an appointment with Qianshiyi, and I will go to his camp early the next morning to observe Wuhuan Tuqi's tactics."

Why don't you go?

Qin Lang was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, there was a touch of emotion in his eyes.

Because Xia Houhui didn't participate in the plan, that is to say, he put himself in the position of a general, which showed that he respected Qin Lang, the chief general.

"The night is deep."

And Xia Houhui didn't wait for him to say goodbye before saying goodbye, turned around and went out of the tent, "I'm just narrating what I'm thinking, and I'm so tired today, so I went back to rest."

It also made Qin Lang wake up from his astonishment, and quickly called out, "Zhenquan."

What else?

Xia Houhui stopped and looked back, doubts appeared in his eyes.

But Qin Lang didn't speak immediately.

But after being silent for a while, he said slowly, "Zhiquan, you and I have known each other for a long time, and our identities are roughly similar, so we can't be treated as outsiders. Tell me the truth, do you want to kill someone and set up an ambush? If you want Go, I will speak to Taishou Tian the next day, let you supervise the [-] cavalry from the Zhongjian camp, and I can also transfer [-] cavalry from the Xiaoqi camp to command you."
