Chapter 589: Bait


Looking at the battlefield, King Ruoqiang and the others were dumbfounded and at a loss.If the victory of the Eagle Tribe only made them feel that the idea of wanting to grab a handful before the main force arrives is a bit unrealistic, then the defeat of a thousand horsemen by the opponent's two hundred horsemen makes them feel terrified.They knew that Liang Xiao was good at fighting, and they also knew that the Han army was well-equipped, so when they saw the Eagle tribe retreating and the Han army coming out of battle, they were ready to pay heavy casualties.After all, Liang Xiao once killed Yiur with 500 cavalry, and the strength of the Han army has been verified, and 200 people repelled 1,000 people, and even a final victory is a possible result.But they did not expect in any way that these two hundred Han cavalry not only defeated their thousand cavalry, but also achieved an overwhelming victory.With just one charge, the difference in strength between the two sides was even more brilliant than the performance of the Eagle Tribe just now.They had no doubt that if they didn't withdraw their troops immediately and do another round, it would be a question of whether half of the 1,000 horsemen would come back alive.After a simple calculation, King Ruoqiang felt that there was no hope of victory.If the Han army had similar combat strength, then Liang Xiao's 1,000 cavalry alone would be enough to defeat all of them, and there was no need to use the tribes at all.Since there is nothing to take advantage of, it is better to retreat before suffering heavy casualties.King Ruoqiang immediately ordered the cavalry to return and prepare to retreat.With the sound of the horn, everyone was stunned except for Liang Xiao and others.The battle has just begun, how did it retreat.Could it be that he walked more than a thousand miles to get here, just for the sake of this short battle, King Ruoqiang seemed to understand everyone's thoughts, and he ordered the herald to repeat the order and retreat steadfastly.Hearing the constant sound of the horn, no one doubted it anymore.The morale of both sides immediately changed dramatically.And the leaders such as King Mo and King Xiaowan prepared to retreat, and their morale was low and even a little depressed.This battle is too sloppy, it can be said that it came with a whim, returned with a defeat, and suffered a dull stick before he could gain a firm foothold.Batu and the others were inexplicably excited.I thought that even if I could win, it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect to win so easily.In just two rounds, the enemy, who looked menacing, was stunned and took the initiative to retreat, and the victory came so quickly that they were not even mentally prepared.In addition to the excitement, they asked for battle, and wanted to chase and kill for a while the enemy was retreating, and let out a bad breath.Batu also felt that it was feasible, so he prepared to blow the trumpet and ask Liang Xiao for instructions.Before his order was issued, Liang Xiao's herald had arrived, ordering everyone to hold their positions and not to attack, so as not to be taken advantage of.Although Batu felt pity, he did not dare to disobey Liang Xiao's order, so he had to order his troops to stay still and watch the enemy withdraw from the position.King Ruoqiang was overjoyed and withdrew twenty miles in one go.When he passed by the stone stele, he had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.Liang Xiao said that if you advance, you will die, and if you retreat, you will live, and now although he has retreated, he has entered after all.It can be seen that Liang Xiao is also bluffing, but he doesn't have enough strength, otherwise how could he watch him leave.King Ruoqiang chose a suitable place, ordered the camp, and sent a message to the wolf.He didn't dare to say that he was cowardly and retreated, only that after the trial, Liang Xiao's strength was not bad, and he needed to deal with it carefully.His forces are limited, and he does not dare to attack, and he has to wait for the wolf to decide for himself.The herald left with the message of the king of Ruoqiang, who ordered people to drink wine with the leaders of the tribes, and discussed what the next war would be, and the most important thing was to unify the voice, and not to say that he had leaked his mouth.The wolf is brutal, and if he is not satisfied, he will kill people, and he doesn't want to be cut off by the wolf to sacrifice the flag.Liang Xiao put down his wine glass, smiled at the tribal leaders, said hello, and got up to leave.Everyone got up and watched Liang Xiao walk away, then they re-seated and asked questions around Batu and Huang Ruo.Today's situation is so good, why didn't General Liang send people to pursue and fight a big victory and let King Ruoqiang and the others run away like this, what a pity.Although they retreated, their losses were limited, and as soon as the main force of the Sky Wolf arrived, they would make a comeback, and it would not be so easy to kill them at that time.Batu didn't understand either, but he didn't say anything, and he quickly left the table.Huang Ruo was in high spirits, drank well, and did not leave, but argued with the leaders.He fought a victory today, beheaded more than 100 at the cost of more than 30 casualties, captured more than 40 people, and obtained more than 70 horses alone.Liang Xiao only needed half of the war horses, and he didn't look down on the weapons and armor of those knights, so he gave him all the rewards, and all the prisoners belonged to him, and the strength of the Eagle Tribe increased again."

You know a fart" Huang Ruo scolded triumphantly: "How can General Liang look down on these little kings such as King Ruoqiang and King Mo, there is only one person he wants to arrest: Sky Wolf."

Didn't the wolf clamoring to compete with General Liang, and General Liang was waiting for him.You guys, just wait patiently to see how General Liang shoots the Sky Wolf with one arrow. ”He scolded and spat on it."

Wolf I'm sorry, he's a wild dog at best, a homeless wild dog."

Everyone laughed, whether true or false, and teased Huang Ruo."

When the time comes, it's up to you to make meritorious contributions.""

The wolf is a wild dog, so what are you, an eagle flying in the sky, or a pheasant in the field" "It doesn't matter if I'm an eagle or a pheasant. ”Huang Ruo took a big sip of wine."

I only know that General Liang is the real archer.If you don't have the ability, you have to find someone who has the ability to follow.You people have neither the ability nor the vision, and you still want to get rich haha" Everyone was a little silent.Huang Ruo's words touched their hearts.If you want to say that you have the ability, who of them dares to be stronger than Alyusu than Alusu, and they are unwilling to cooperate with Liang Xiao and the Han people, but they were killed by the wolf with an arrow, and their subordinates were scattered, and the Yueshi people were almost wiped out.His younger brother Batu didn't have much ability, but he stood firmly by Liang Xiao's side, and now he has mastered the Yue tribe.Huang Ruo is another example.Before attaching to Liang Xiao, he was nothing more than an inconspicuous small tribe.But now, he has played a pivotal role, and he is still charging with the Han people.If he fights a few more battles, he is likely to succeed Batu and become an important figure trusted by the Han Chinese.I didn't believe in Liang Xiao's strength before, and I didn't want to bow my head to Liang Xiao easily, but now that I have seen Liang Xiao's ability with my own eyes, if they don't bow their heads, they can only watch people like Huang Ruo become stronger step by step, and they can only bow down to them in the future.It's time to find an opportunity to show loyalty to Liang Xiao and strive for a chance to make meritorious contributions.If he doesn't work hard now, when the wolf is dead, Liang Xiao will control the entire Nanshan, and there are so many big countries that want to show favor to him, where can he still look at them.Everyone had their own ghosts, and they were thinking about their own careful thoughts one by one, but they refused to reveal it, said a few words perfunctorily, and left one after another.In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liang Xiao, Xu Le and others surrounded the sand table and discussed tactics for the last time.If the Qiang King is repulsed, the Heavenly Wolf will definitely not give up, and the important decisive battle to determine whether he can control the Nanshan Kingdoms is about to begin, and there must be no mistakes.Liang Xiao sat silently on the side, closed his eyes, and deduced in his mind over and over again.With so much preparation, he had carved the nearby terrain into his mind, and he didn't need to look at the sand table to know where the situation was.He even surveyed some of the important terrain himself, and knew it well.For generals, you must know geography.This is what Huan Yuan said before he taught him the art of war, and he has always engraved it in his heart, and he dare not forget it for a moment.Batu walked in, said hello to Xu Le and the others, walked up to Liang Xiao, and bowed."

General."

Liang Xiao opened his eyes."

Something" "It's not a big deal, but there are some things I don't understand, and I want to ask the general for advice." ”"Tell me, what's there you don't understand" "General, why can Captain Xie Du defeat the enemy's 1,000 cavalry with only two hundred cavalry, I know that they train very hard, but this disparity is too great. ”Liang Xiao smiled slightly."

What's so strange about that.These people were originally selected warriors from various tribes, and if they practiced for a few months, they had reached a new level in terms of both individual martial arts and mutual cooperation.Not to mention that one against five, it is normal to fight ten with one. ”"Since that's the case, then why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue, expand the results of the battle, and even kill the Ruoqiang King and others in battle" Liang Xiao looked at Xu Le."

Xu Jianjun, please explain it to the prince.""

Whoa."

Xu Le responded and led Batu to the sand table."

Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is our goal" Batu thought for a moment."

Kill the Celestial Wolf.""

And what about it" "There is also control of the Nanshan countries, and then gather the strength of the Nanshan countries to fight against Wusun and force Xiang Nazhi to be a vassal." ”"That's right, our target is the Heavenly Wolf, not the Nanshan Kingdoms, and in the future, we will use the power of the Nanshan Kingdoms to confront Wusun, so we must not only attack the Nanshan Kingdoms and make them surrender, but we can't blow too much and hurt our vitality."

Batu nodded."

Therefore, the general let go of King Ruoqiang because he didn't want them to suffer too serious losses" "Yes, but not exactly. ”Xu Le then explained, "The reason why we have the confidence to fight the Heavenly Wolf here is not only because we have your support and the best warriors, but also because this is the battlefield we have chosen.We've made a lot of preparations here, just to deal with the Celestial Wolf.Wouldn't it be too wasteful to use it against King Ruoqiang" Batu suddenly realized.He knew that Liang Xiao had made some arrangements here, and for the sake of secrecy, even he didn't know very well.Now it seems that these arrangements are crucial, and may well be the key to whether or not the Sky Wolf can be killed.Such an important arrangement, of course, cannot be exposed because of King Ruoqiang."

Also, the Celestial Wolves have come from afar, and they carry a limited amount of baggage.The more people there are, the more food and grass they consume, and the less time they can sustain themselves.Wouldn't killing King Ruoqiang now save food for him and buy him time" Batu patted his head and laughed to himself: "It's me who is confused.That's right, these people's combat strength is average, but their ability to eat is not bad.If he is defeated, not only will the wolf save food, but the captives will also waste our food. ”"Your Highness is very true."

Xu Le lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious."

Your Highness, this is a secret, and it must not be divulged.Out of this big tent, please be cautious with your Royal Highness. ”Batu nodded solemnly."

Please rest assured that the general and the prison army will lock my mouth as soon as I come out of this big tent, and I will never say a word nonsense."

Star Gorge.Huangfu Qi rode his horse and fled, and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, throw those jewels on the ground, don't want it, don't want it." ”A few of the servants drew their knives and cut the pouch, and the jewels and gems were scattered and rolled on the ground, everywhere.They put away the empty bags and galloped with the emperor into the canyon.The valley became narrower and narrower, and at last not only could not gallop, but also horses could not ride.Huang Fuqi and the others dismounted, led the horses on foot, and passed through a long and narrow passage, and finally saw the sun again, as well as Guo Wenbin's smiling face."

Uncle, thank you for your hard work."

Guo Wenbin stepped forward and bowed his hand."

It's okay, it's okay."

Huang Fuqi said with a smile: "If I can catch all these dogs, it will be worth my loss."

You don't know, I've lost too much in the past few years. ”"Yes, yes."

Guo Wenbin said with a smile: "Now that the price of jade in Chang'an has risen, Your Majesty is in a hurry, so he sent Liang Junhou to the Western Regions."

Otherwise, you think it will be so smooth" Huangfu has a wide range of experience, and he understood what Guo Wenbin meant when he heard it."

Alas, the affairs of the court are too complicated, and we laymen really can't understand it.It's just a matter of beware of those heroes of the family, and people like Liang Junhou who have no foundation at all, what is there to beware of.Don't say it, don't say it, Wen Bin, you are a Taishou now, you have to call the shots for us. ”"Uncle, don't worry, I am also a person who has walked on this road for so many years, how can I not know your suffering, I am also a little bit of a wealthy person, as for harming you for some money, if it is for money, why should I suffer this burden.""

That's, that's."

Huang Fuqi nodded again and again with satisfaction."

I read you right.""

Of course, you have been in business all your life, when have you ever looked away" As he was talking, someone came to report that the Huns followed up the canyon.When Guo Wenbin heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led Huangfu to a high place.As soon as they went up, some soldiers occupied the vital point, stretched out their bows and arrows, and prepared for battle.The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a Hun crossed the passage and appeared in front of them.As soon as they saw the Han army on the hillside, the Huns were taken aback, and immediately sounded the trumpet, alerting the people behind that there was an ambush, and immediately withdrew from the canyon.It's a pity that their reaction was too slow, and with the sound of the horn, Guo Wenbin also beat the war drums.After a while, the sound of war drums was heard in the distance, and then a series of muffled sounds came, and the smoke and dust in the north rose into the sky.Huangfuqi was taken aback: "Wen Bin, this is blocking the mouth of the gorge" "Of course, if you don't block the mouth of the gorge, how can you trap so many Huns" Guo Wenbin's eyebrows danced."

It's called catching a turtle in an urn.""

What's the use of you just catching them, there are one or two thousand people behind, they will definitely come to the rescue, maybe they will attack your Taishou Mansion."

Guo Wenbin laughed proudly."

I'm afraid that they won't come to the old man, you think that I will satisfy these hundreds of people by catching them, they think you are a fat sheep, they are wolves, but in my eyes, they are the real fat sheep.
