Wei Ni

Chapter 200: Fainting with power 2
"Yes! Your Majesty said yes!"

The Governor of Wu Bing, who had his face sprayed with saliva, was submissive.

He also quickly lowered his head to prevent the anger in his eyes from being discovered, and his posture became more humble and flattering, "Just your honor, should I tell the general how many people are going to be fed?"

"Thousands of people."

Colonel Wei seemed very satisfied with his gesture, and his voice softened, "By the way, General Xiahou does not eat with his soldiers, so remember to prepare wine and meat."

"Just a thousand people?!"

Looking up in astonishment, the Governor of the Hundreds of Wu Bings asked in surprise, "So few reinforcements!?"

This also made Colonel Wei frown and get angry again, "You bastard! My general is the advance guard! Does the advance guard know? Beigua! There will be three thousand soldiers to protect the food and supplies, and it will take two days to arrive!"

After he finished scolding, he seemed to be still upset, so he said arrogantly, "Even if only a thousand people come, so what? My general Xiahou shot and killed the thief Wu Sunshao before, and his reputation is well-known in Jiangdong Xiaoxiao! As long as he is at the top of the city If you put up my general's flag, it will deter the thieves Wu from disturbing you!"

Ah ~
Yeah!
Everything you said is right!
The Governor of the Hundreds, who was so angry that he was scolded "coward" on the left and "peigua" on the right, felt instantly better when he heard "Protect Huaiyin Wuyou" and almost burst out laughing.

After explaining the situation, he looked at Tang Zi with gleaming eyes and said excitedly, "General, the traitor Xiahou only brought a thousand people here. It's the time for us to make great achievements! The general can get a county, and we are waiting for it." It’s worth a thousand pieces of gold!”

I saw him continue to roar, then turned around and strode away, mocking himself with his back, "I have explained so much to a bastard! Is it because I was in such a hurry that I was so tired that I couldn't even think clearly? Really? of."

Especially since he has already heard a lot of information, such as——

The sound gradually became inaudible as the figure receded.

When the oath was about to be taken, Sun Quan boosted his morale and was determined to avenge Sun Shaoxue. He said in front of all the soldiers, "Whoever kills the traitor Xia Houhui will be granted the title of marquis, a thousand gold rewards, and a county to raise troops."

But Xiaoxiao Wei didn't give him a chance.

I bother!

And the Wu Bingduo, a hundred-man commander, watched his retreating back, cursing silently in his heart, first spat on the ground bitterly, and then hurried to find Tang Zi.

That is the basis for ensuring military success and the rise of the family.

You are the pumpkin!
You common man, old soldier, wait a moment and your father will chop off your head himself!

Xiahou Hui supervised the troops and they were in such a hurry that they were sleepy and hungry.

However, in Jiangdong's system, the feudal lord has no actual benefits. What really attracts people is to paint the land and raise troops!

"You bastard! Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go back and report it!"

The county and the daughter he murmured were Sun Quan's promise.

Tang Zi, who had been in Wu for several years and fought against the rebellion, had already been made a marquis.

You are a coward!

And he has two thousand soldiers in his headquarters!
In addition, the Huai River is on the north side of Huaiyin City, so it only takes a quarter of an hour to board a boat and leave.

The emperor of Wei, Cao Rui, personally led the expedition, but it took seven or eight days to arrive in Xuzhou.

He nodded and bowed hurriedly, hesitating in his mind about what to say to avoid exposing himself.

Xia Houhui, who was the advance leader of Huainan reinforcements, only brought a thousand men with him; the subsequent three thousand troops would take two or three days to arrive.

Therefore, when he heard the Governor of Hundreds announcing that Xia Houhui was coming, Tang Zi's heartbeat accelerated unsatisfactorily.

With calculated calculations but no intention, and with a rainbow of morale to ambush the tired army... he should be able to capture him easily and accomplish his feats without any surprises, right?
However, if we delay any longer, we will not be able to meet the return deadline set by General Zhu Ran~
It would be okay if he could kill Xiahou's traitors on the spot, and no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of his great achievements if he misses his return date; but if the battle is evenly matched and everyone suffers losses, then he will be impeached by Zhu Ran, and he may lose Sun Quan. So favored.

Tang Zi was thinking about it, and he couldn't make a choice in his heart.

After all, just being able to ambush Sun Shao is enough to prove that Xia Houhui's soldiers are not that weak in combat power.

It's not that taking the upper hand will guarantee victory.

Alas, if only Zhu Juyu were here!
If he didn't rush away in a hurry, our army would have surrounded and killed Xia Houhui with five or six times its strength. Wouldn't it be inevitable to win?
Thinking of this, Tang Zi began to slander Zhu Julai.

The strategy was decided by Zhu Ju, but the execution was left to him. He would be responsible for defeat, but if he defeated Zhu Ju, he would surely enjoy the success. Especially when Zhu Ran decided that the two of them had the same priority. Zhu Zhi, who was obviously accompanying the army in vain, was appointed as the leader, while he, who really supported the army and worked hard without complaint, was placed in the deputy position.

Tang Zi, who had been silent for a long time, had turned his mind from whether to ambush Xia Houhui to feeling sorry for himself.

This also made the hundreds of people surrounding him unable to bear it.

The primary school sent by Xia Houhui claimed that it would arrive in half an hour. When setting up an ambush, it would also take time to assign responsibilities to each department, okay? If you delay making a decision, aren't you missing a good opportunity?

Immediately, the Governor of the Hundreds who came to report took the lead and spoke, interrupting Tang Zi's thoughts, "If God does not take it, he will be blamed! If the general hesitates any longer, he may miss the opportunity!"

The other hundreds of governors also understood the idea and asked for a fight in unison.

"I also ask the general to cut it off as soon as possible, and lead us to kill the traitor Xiahou, and present my head to congratulate Your Majesty!"

It was these words that made Tang Zi, who had woken up, no longer hesitate, and immediately sent everyone back to urge the soldiers to prepare for the ambush.

He couldn't hesitate any longer. It was not that he was afraid of delaying the deployment of an ambush, but that he was coerced by his subordinates.

Among the two thousand soldiers, only more than 300 were his troops.

The rest are all subordinate to Sun Quan.

If he had not ambushed him, these meritorious governors would have reported to Yousi or even Sun Quan after they returned to Jiangdong, saying that he did not sincerely surrender to Wu! When Xia Houhui had already fallen into Zhu Ju's conspiracy and had the opportunity to kill him to avenge Sun Shao and benefit Jiangdong's foundation, he did nothing!

So, based on Sun Shao's status, could Sun Quan not be suspicious of him?
Even if he is not held accountable, he will be alienated from him in the future. He will be transferred to a casual position and left to fend for himself in the wild land of Jiaozhou.

Alas, this is the helplessness and sadness of being a descendant~
More than ten miles outside Huaiyin City.

Xia Houhui, surrounded by a thousand soldiers, stood with his eyes closed, his body as tall and straight as a mountain.

These thousand soldiers all belong to the Jiao Yi tribe.

Both Deng Ai and Gou Quan had already taken a detour and sneaked to the entrance of Huaiyin River in Huaiyin.

After learning that the Wei flag was still flying at the top of Huaiyin City, and learning from the defeated soldiers that the city had changed hands, he naturally guessed with his wisdom that the Wu soldiers were trying to confuse and lure the enemy.

Therefore, he felt that since the thief Wu had thrown out the bait, he didn't mind taking advantage of it and swallowing the bait, while dragging the fisherman into the water and drowning him!
Especially after knowing that most of the Wu soldiers who occupied Huaiyin City had already left with prisoners and Li Shuqingzhuang first.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and our own is not huge, and it is not possible to put oneself in danger.

The most uncertain thing now is whether Jiao Yi will be discovered when he goes to negotiate and lure Wu soldiers to set an ambush for him.

The commander of the Wei army who spoke to the hundred-man governor of the Wu army was Jiao Yi.

Among the three thousand-man governors, he is the only one who can do the job.

Because he was a county soldier, he had deep traces of military service on his body, and one could tell he was a veteran revolutionary at first sight; while Deng Ai and Gou Quan had only been in the military for a few years, and they were still a little short of the mark.

But Jiao Yi himself was very unsure of himself.

He has always been a man of few words, with a dull personality and no eloquence, let alone the ability to trick others.

But Xia Houhui, who couldn't stand it, thought he could do it.

And he also gave him a trick: "Do you still remember Wen Zhongruo, the former governor of Lujiang? Didn't you belong to the governor Wang Shijun before? Learn from the Wang Shijun's self-reliance on his family status towards the soldiers, and imitate Wen Zhongruo's instructions The arrogance of the soldiers will do."

Then, Jiao Yi felt as if he had received an enlightenment, and he immediately accepted the order with full confidence and left.

"General, I'm back."

He had spat countless words on Wu Bing's Hundred-man Superintendent, but now he returned with a look of honor and he went directly to Xia Houhui to report, "I see that thief General Wu is trying his best to suppress his anger, so it should be done!"

If you can come back unscathed, it means that Thief Wu believes it~
Muttering in his heart, Xia Houhui's smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze in March, and he praised his arms without hesitation, "Zixu comes in person, but things still go wrong? Hahaha~"

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Jiao Yi also smiled honestly.

He didn't care at all that he had just walked around the gates of hell.

I don't know whether it was because he was in the army and didn't care about life and death, or because he had blind trust in Xia Houhui.

A few moments.

At the appointed time, Xia Houhui led thousands of people to the south gate of Huaiyin and stopped within a stone's throw away.

At this time, the south gate of Huaiyin City was already open.

There were rows of soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate, about four hundred of them. Looking from the city gate passage, it seemed that there were still many soldiers lined up along the way. The Governor of the Hundreds who had spoken to Jiao Yi was waiting at the front outside the city with two or three people.

Seeing Xia Houhui and his entourage arriving, he quickly ran over to salute and was about to say something when he was kicked over by Jiao Yi who was in the front. Moreover, Jiao Yi directly stepped over him and roared loudly towards the city, "Where is the Huaiyin County Magistrate! Where is the guard in the city! General Xiahou has come personally, but no one among them came out to fight against the evil!"

Well.
The Governor of Hundreds, who was kicked to the ground, immediately did not dare to ask.

Tang Zi, who was hiding in the city and leading four hundred strong crossbowmen to set up an ambush, was stunned when he heard the roar.

Now, why don't the Xiahou traitors directly enter the city?

He looked around and saw the expectant looks in the eyes of the low-level generals, so he took a deep breath and waved to summon three hundred private soldiers to escort him out of the city to greet him.

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

It’s time for the finishing touch, so we can’t fall short.

And even if I want to give up now, I have no chance~
"General Xiahou, I am Hu Li, the guard general of Huaiyin."

He smiled from a distance and bowed down more than ten steps away from Xia Houhui.

Xia Houhui, who came out of the crowd, slowly walked up to him surrounded by more than ten soldiers, looked at his face carefully, his eyes were full of teasing, "Good! Very good!"
