Chapter 138 The Chai Family's Plan

Chapter 138 The Chai Family's Plan

The general's tent is extremely luxurious, like a small palace. Although it is only a temporary residence, it has everything in it, such as tables and chairs, screens, calligraphy and paintings, and none of them are simple things that make up the number. For Zhang Chang's case, it takes four people to carry it to the car.

Han Xing beckoned to Han Ruzi kindly, probably because he was tired during the day, leaned his body, and let out a heavy gasp, "How is it, Hou Juan is adapting to life in the army?"

Han Ruzi saluted, not the general, but the clan elders, "Fortunately, I have learned a lot."

"Hehe, it's good to be young. When I was as old as you, I also participated in the battle of the captives. The general at that time was Deng Liao, and he was really exhausting under his command. It was a common thing to run on horseback for a day and a night. Every time I go out, no matter how much food and forage I bring, I will never turn back when I see the Huns."

Deng Liao was a famous general in the period of Emperor Wu, and everyone in the world knows it. Han Ruzi said: "General Deng has won a hundred battles and made extraordinary achievements for the Great Chu.

"Yeah, it's very dangerous to fight with him, but it's also a fast promotion. I was named a marquis by military merit before I was 20 years old... Haha, I actually brag about this kind of thing in front of Juan Hou, come on, let me introduce you to me. , This is the youngest son of the Marquis of Hengyang, who just came from the capital, his name is Chai... Chai..."

"It's Chai Yue." The man nodded reservedly to Han Ruzi.

"Young Master Chai has worked hard from afar, is there any news from the capital?"

"Calm as usual."

The two politely exchanged a few words, but said nothing.

Han Xing waved his hand again and asked Han Ruzi to come closer. In Qinzheng Hall, he is one of the dispensable ministers who take care of life. He rarely argues with other people, and doesn't even like to talk. Here, he is thirty The commander-in-chief of Wan Dajun is one of a kind, with an irresistible majesty even with a kind smile and soft tone.

Han Xing was still reclining on the chair, the smile on his face was a little stiff, as if he suddenly forgot what he was going to say, and after a while he said: "I just got the news that the Huns have retreated, this time it's really retreating, just a moment. If you retreat thousands of miles, everything you can’t take will be burned. Of course, the Huns will come back again. The war is so wonderful, too powerful, no one fights with you, too risky, and can’t afford the loss.”

Han Xing sighed, his breathing became heavier and heavier, as if he was snoring, "In short, there will be no war this year, 300,000 soldiers, plus strong men and slaves, there will always be 500,000 to 600,000 people who stay in It’s okay to be in such a desolate place, but you can’t just leave it alone, let’s assign it to the northern cities to defend for a while, the Huns won’t all run away, and there will always be some guys who are not afraid of death who will find opportunities to attack.”

The King of the East Sea guessed right, Han Ruzi and Chai Yue just nodded, this is a major military matter, and it is not their turn to make suggestions.

"Young Master Chai has a plan... Uh, let's talk about it." Han Xing was so tired that he could only breathe and couldn't say much.

Chai Yue bowed her hands and said to Han Ruzi: "The Chu army fought with all their might, but they didn't win a battle or kill a single prisoner, which would damage the country's prestige. Therefore, I came up with a plan: to lure the Huns into an ambush, and to dampen their spirit."

"Isn't this the strategy that the general has been using?" Han Ruzi participated in at least three ambushes, each time with great fanfare, and finally ended without a problem. The best time, it is said that the Huns army was only more than ten miles away from the ambush site. I don't know how to get it. Knowing the news, he ran away.

Chai Yue smiled slightly, "Similar but not the same, just enough to confuse the Huns."

"Appreciate further details."

Chai Yue said sternly: "The Huns have fled far away, and they won't come back before next spring, but there are several little Xiongnu kings who did not leave with Dong Shanyu. There are probably more than 10,000 people, scattered everywhere, and the task is to harass the border county."

"Yeah." So far, Han Ruzi hasn't heard the substantive content, and everything is as expected by the East Sea King.

"My plan is to choose a border city to attract the Huns to invade, and when the Huns gather for this purpose, it doesn't have to be all of them, but if it exceeds 5,000, the army will annihilate them in one fell swoop. The second is to boost morale, and the third is to frighten the enemy and captives thousands of miles away.

Han Xing smiled and waved his hand, "The Dong Xiongnu will not surrender. It is said that Dong Dan is old and the rulers of power are his sons. All of them want to make contributions to compete for the position of Shan Yu. If they lose this year, they will definitely come to take revenge next year. ."

"That's even more desirable." Chai Yue bowed.

Han Ruzi didn't say anything, because he knew that he was called to listen to a plan that was supposed to be secret, and there was absolutely nothing good about it.

There was silence in the tent for a while, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. Chai Yue asked, "How do you feel about this plan?"

"Very good." Han Ruzi replied with a smile, "Young Master Chai is really smart, I can't think of such an idea anyway."

Chai Yue smiled reluctantly, "There is a difficulty with this plan."

"Yeah." Han Ruzi still showed no interest.

"The border cities are good choices as bait, but the defenders are rare: there are too many defenders, and the Huns will not attack, and if the defenders are too weak, the Huns will flee after they have fought, but they will not gather together. The city is worth attacking, but it is impossible to take it."

"No wonder I can't come up with a good idea. It turns out that it is so difficult to formulate a plan." Han Ruzi just refused to follow the other side to ask.

Chai Yue glanced at Han Xing and said, "I think Juan Hou is the most suitable candidate for defending the city."

"You must be mistaken. I won't lead troops to fight, and the Huns don't have to attack me. Asking me to guard the border city is tantamount to feeding sheep to tigers."

"No, no, please listen to my explanation..."

Han Xing straightened his body and said, "I don't think it's right, I'm taking too much risk. Marquis Juan has a special status. It's really an accident. I can't explain it to the court. Young Master Chai, you should find someone else. Well, anyway, the Huns will come to fight next year anyway."

Chai Yue reluctantly answered yes, took two steps back, and said nothing.

Han Xing said with a smile: "Don't worry about Hou Juan, let you come here, not just for this matter, the army will be withdrawn to Mayi City in batches from the day after tomorrow, I plan to let Hou Juan bring an army to try, tireless Hou Yi How's it going?"

"The general is too polite, even if the order is."

"It's fine if you don't have an opinion, sigh, there are a lot of honorable children who came here, all of them were impassioned when they wrote the book, and when they came to the battlefield, they were all so spoiled that they couldn't be exposed to the wind or the sun. I wanted to try them all. Dare not, only Marquis Juan is an exception, oh, Young Master Chai is not bad either."

Han Ruzi resigned and left, and Chai Yue stood by without saying a word.

The tents in the Xungui Camp are competitive and competitive, and some of them look more ornate than the general's residence. Although it is clearly stated that only two followers can be brought, many of them exceed the limit. There are also many scattered camps, with more slaves living in them, and they are always on call.

Han Ruzi's tent was the same as that of an ordinary soldier, except that the furnishings inside were slightly better, and there were fewer people living there. At first glance, it looked like an appendage of the big tent next to it.

The King of the East Sea stood in front of the big tent and asked loudly, "How is it? Can I stay in Mayi City?"

It was already dark, and the other camps were quiet. Only the Xungui camp was full of laughter and laughter from women.

Han Ruzi entered his tent, and the King of the East Sea followed.

Candles were already lit in the tent, Han Ruzi sat on the bed, and the King of the East Sea set up a small folding stool and sat opposite him.

"Did you guess, or did you already know?" Han Ruzi asked.

"What are you talking about? Endless."

"The general wants me to lead the army, did you already know?"

The King of Donghai laughed a few times, "To be honest, this is really a guess. You have the title of General Zhenbei, and you're... Tired Hou, you can't justify it if you don't lead the troops. You don't worry when you are fighting, you can always try when you retreat. Which part of the army did Han Xing say?"

Han Ruzi shook his head, "Guess again, I think your guesses are accurate."

Donghai Wang smiled again, as if a little embarrassed, "If there is no accident, it must include Xun Guiying, Han Xing has always been dissatisfied with these people, but he does not dare to take it too far. He has few acquaintances, has a high status, and is unsmiling every day, like a general."

Han Ruzi snorted. The King of the East Sea said before that he voluntarily stayed by Marquis Juan's side. In fact, he had to. If Han Ruzi was a little confused, he would probably be moved.

"I can help you. I basically know all these honors and honors. If you say who you want to clean up, I can immediately provide a handle to convince him without a single complaint."

"I don't want to deal with anyone. I met Chai Yue at the general's place, and he offered advice to the general." Han Ruzi briefly explained Chai Yue's plan.

The King of Donghai shook his head when he heard it, and Han Ruzi just shut his mouth and said: "This is obviously a trap, using the Huns to kill you. I have heard that the Chai family hates you to the bone. Whoever can kill you from your children and grandchildren will inherit the title of Marquis."

Han Ruzi also heard about it, and frowned: "There are several people who went to the Marquis of Guiyi with Chai Yun, why do they hate me to the bone?"

"Who asked you to protect the sons and daughters of Marquis Guiyi and let them go? From the Chai family's point of view, the whole thing is that you colluded with Hu You and cheated to kill Chai Yun."

Han Ruzi's brows furrowed even tighter, while Zhang Youcai on the side couldn't help but say, "Master didn't know any Hu You before, and I haven't even heard of his name."

The King of the East Sea didn't look back, but only said to Han Ruzi, "I believe in you, but the Chai family doesn't."

"Anyway, I refused, and the general didn't force it. The Chai family wanted to take revenge, so just let the horses come over."

As long as he doesn't go to guard the lonely city, the King of the East Sea is satisfied, he got up and said, "Don't think about it so much, we can't do anything now, let's go to Mayi City and have a good winter."

Han Ruzi didn't want to play. He had an army of a thousand people, but he didn't know where to use it, so he was quite depressed.

The King of the East Sea did not return to his tent, and went to find Hu Peng Gou friends for a drink.

Han Ruzi was reading in the tent, planning to wait for the noise outside to subside a bit before going to bed. He was thinking in his heart, after he was officially appointed, should he give these noble children a slap in the face.

Someone outside coughed, "Has Tien Hou rested?"

Zhang Youcai went out in surprise, came back soon, and whispered, "Chai Yue, Master Chai asks to see the master."

Chai Yue still hasn't given up.
