Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 262
Thousands of miles away, Xiang Kang can't operate it himself, he can only remotely command the Han army's Nanyang County guard Lu Yu to implement strategies, alienating the three kings' coalition forces who seem to be in harmony with each other, but in fact have considerable conflicts of interest, but what Xiang Kang did not expect is that Lu Yu However, he did not carry out his order exactly, and made some adjustments to Xiang Kang's plan steps on his own initiative.

The adjustment made by Lu Yu privately was in the arrangement of the envoy. Originally, Xiang Kang weighed the pros and cons and deduced again and again. He asked Lu Yu to arrange for an uninformed dead man to come forward and negotiate with the most difficult Liu Laosan, taking the opportunity to plant and frame him. Let Liu Laosan bear the injustice.However, after deduction, Lu Yu found that if it is absolutely safe to arrange for the dead to come forward, but the effect of divorce will be greatly reduced, so he boldly arranged for a disciple who knows the inside story to come forward and let him carry out the divorce strategy for the Han army, so as to be more effective. Then put a shit bowl on Liu Laosan's head.

Lu Yu also had a lot of confidence to adjust Xiang Kang's plan privately. The reason is that the knight-errant atmosphere is prevalent in this era. The generation of knight-errants often values ​​righteousness over life, and life and death. Lu Yu, who likes to snare people and diners, also has such righteous men. Among the diners, apart from Chen Hui and Gong Liangzao, there is also a diner named Wen Xun who has also been educated by Lu Yu. Although he never said thanks for his great kindness, Lu Yu could tell that this Wen Xun was absolutely willing to sacrifice his life to repay him.

Lu Yu was not mistaken. When he entrusted Wen Xun with the heavy responsibility, Wen Xun only made one request, begging Lu He to take care of his mother in the future, and then embarked on the journey without hesitation and came by car. Liu Laosan's camp requested to visit Liu Laosan in the honor of Han Wang Hancheng's envoy, and handed over the letter written by Han Cheng to Liu Laosan in person.

Liu Laosan was really fooled. Hearing that the person who came was Han Cheng's envoy, he ordered to summon him without thinking too much. After meeting Wen Xun, he arranged a seat for him. (Han Cheng's old title before becoming king) sent Mr. here, why?"

"I'm here to thank you." Wen Xun said with a smile: "Pei Gong Gao Yi, after the former captured my king alive in Ye County, not only did he not humiliate and kill him, he even sent someone to send our king back to the South Korean army. Our South Korean soldiers and civilians never forget it. At that time, it was too hasty. Our king failed to thank Peigong generously. He was really sorry, so today he specially sent a small envoy to the camp to present a small gift to Peigong to thank Peigong for his kindness. I also ask Pei Gong to accept it with a smile."

After saying that, Wen Xun presented the gift he brought with both hands. Liu Laosan laughed when he saw it, and said, "Why is Lord Hengyang so polite? At that time, the king had already made it very clear to him. The reason why I sent him The reason why I sent him back to the camp was that the king had never had any enmity with him, and regretted that he was not a person to rely on. Unfortunately, he was on Xiang Kang's rebellious minister's pirate ship, and he couldn't bear to harm him, so he sent him away. Thank you, you just need to be able to stay in the battle between this king and Xiang Kang's rebels in the future, and you don't need to thank me with anything ordinary."

After finishing speaking hypocritically, Liu Laosan waved again and again, asking Wen Xun to take the gift back to Han Cheng. Wen Xun, under the guise of Han Cheng's reputation, asked Liu Laosan to accept it, and took out a white silk to write There is no sealed letter, and he said: "Pei Gong, this is a letter written by our King Han, please read it."

Out of etiquette, Liu Laosan asked the guard in the tent to take the letter and pass it in front of him. When he took it and watched it, he saw that the content of Han Cheng's letter was just to thank him for what happened last time, and it didn't have much nutrition. Putting it down, I suddenly saw the last sentence of Han Cheng's letter, and my heart froze, and I hurriedly asked: "Sir, didn't Lord Hengyang want you to bring a letter from the traitor Xiang Kang by the way? Where is the letter?" "

"Your Majesty wants the envoy to bring a letter from the King of Han by the way?" Wen Xun deliberately pretended to be stupid, and said in surprise: "No? The king only asked the envoy to bring his letter and thank you gift, and did not ask the envoy to bring any other What letter?"

"Then why did Mr. Hengyang say at the end of the letter that you had brought a letter from Xiang Kang's traitor to this king?" Liu Laosan hurriedly asked.

"Is there such a thing?" Wen Xun was full of surprise, and said: "The king didn't explain it to the envoy? Could it be that the king forgot?"

The sixth sense was extremely keen, and Liu Laosan vaguely realized that something was wrong, subconsciously looked at Wen Xun suspiciously, and suddenly ordered: "Bring the gift that Lord Hengyang gave to this king."

According to Liu Laosan's order, the guards in the tent immediately stepped forward and brought the gift box brought by Wen Xun in front of Liu Laosan. Liu Laosan quickly opened it, and saw that there was only a pair of very precious jade walls in the box, nothing else I couldn't help but feel even more suspicious in my heart, and said to myself: "What's going on? Could it be that Han Cheng forgot? It's impossible. Even if Han Cheng forgot such a big thing for a while, he will definitely remember it after a while. Send someone to Catch up with the messenger and bring the letter with you."

Feeling more and more confused, Liu Laosan was considering whether to let the guards search Xun Xun's body, but he never thought that someone outside the tent would suddenly report that it was Chai Wu, the king of Hanzhong who was canonized by Xiang Yu, who had visited the camp, and then he did not wait for Liu Laos Three orders were summoned, and Chai Wu had already strode to the front of his large tent of the Chinese army. He laughed and said, "King of Nanyang, come here to ask for a drink when you have nothing to do. By the way, let's discuss how to attack Wancheng. I don't know." Does King Nanyang have time?"

"I'm busy with some trivial matters, and I will drink with the King of Hanzhong in a while."

Liu Laosan smiled and agreed, and then waved his guards to let him go. Chai Wu took the opportunity to lead a few confidant guards into the tent of the Chinese army, looked at Wen Xun pretending to be surprised, and said, "Are there any guests? Great battle!" Soon, the guest coming?"

"Hengyang Jun sent to thank the king."

Liu Laosan explained casually, and was about to send Wen Xun away, but Chai Wu glanced at the letter in front of Liu Laosan first, and said, "Huh? There are still letters? Pei Gong, can I let this king take a look at Hengyang?" Your letter to you?"

Before Chai Wu's words fell, Liu Laosan, who had always been very deep in the city, changed his face, and immediately understood that the situation was wrong, and secretly said: "Is it just a coincidence? Or did Mr. Chai Wu do it on purpose?"

Liu Laosan was indeed very resourceful, although he was panicked, but suddenly thought of a possibility, Liu Laosan hurriedly picked up the letter, handed it to Chai Wu with a smile and said, "Hanzhong King, please feel free."

Chai Wu quickly took the letter and read it carefully, and soon noticed that Han Cheng had asked the messenger to bring a letter from Xiang Kang at the end of the letter, so he immediately asked: "King of Nanyang, Lord Hengyang said He also asked the envoy to bring a letter from Xiang Kang's traitor, where is the letter?"

"There is no such letter." Liu Laosan replied very frankly: "Hengyang Lord's envoy only brought this letter, and did not bring the letter of Xiang Kang's traitor."

Chai Wu would not believe Liu Laosan's explanation unless he was stupid, but he immediately turned to Wen Xun and looked at Wen Xun's expression and reaction. Your Majesty may have forgotten that the emissary only brought this letter, and there is no letter from the King of Han to the King of Nanyang."

"Forgot?" Chai Wu almost laughed out loud, and said, "How can Lord Hengyang forget such an important matter?"

Wen Xun forced a smile, and said: "Maybe our king was careless for a while, anyway, there is really no such letter."

Chai Wu smiled even more weirdly, and looked at Liu Laosan from the corner of his eye, and Liu Laosan also vaguely understood that he had fallen into a trap, so he took the case decisively and shouted: "Bold man! Get me to tell you the truth!" , who sent you here? Is this letter from Han Cheng a trap used by Xiang Kang's bandits to slander the king? Tell the truth, or be careful with your head!"

It’s okay if it’s a dead man who doesn’t know the inside story, and was threatened by Liu Laosan to tell the truth, admitting that the matter was all arranged by Lu Yu, and the subsequent development will not go to extremes, but Wen Xun is a person who knows the inside story In order to suspend the suspicion of Liu Laosan, Wen Xun immediately continued to deny it, saying: "Pei Gong, please don't misunderstand, it is really possible that our king forgot the letter written to you by the King of Han and did not give it to the little envoy." , or the little envoy will go back and report to the king, and ask the king to bring the letter from the King of Han to the little envoy."

After saying that, Wen Xun got up and went out, the guards in the tent quickly stopped him, Wen Xun didn't speak, just turned his back to Liu Laosan and Chai Wu and sneered in his heart, Liu Laosan also understood that Wen Xun was detaining him on purpose. Shipanzi shouted decisively: "Take it! Use torture and make him tell the truth!"

The brutal torture began. In front of Liu Laosan and Chai Wu, Liu Laosan's guards first punched and kicked, and then used bamboo boards and sharp awls to torture Wen Xun until he was bruised and out of shape. Wen Xun, who was determined to die, refused to change his words, pretended to protect Liu Laosan, and continued to insist that it was Han Cheng who forgot to hand over the letter to him, and refused to admit that he was actually Lu Yu , even after fainting from the pain several times, after being splashed awake, he still excused Liu Laosan with a weak voice.

At this time, Cao Shen, Fan Kui, and Xiao He and other close relatives of Liu Lao San also heard the news and came to understand the situation one after another. After learning what had happened, the hot-tempered Fan Kui broke several of Wen Xun's ribs with his own hands. Wen Xun, who was bleeding continuously, still refused to give a confession, and insisted on trying to cover up, and continued to speak for Liu Laosan.

Seeing this scene, Liu Laosan, who had been a ranger for several years, also understood that he had encountered a dead man, so he said directly to Chai Wu: "Hanzhong King, I know that I can't clean up even if I jump into the Yellow River. The king only asks you and the king of Linjiang to trust me, I will never share the sky with the traitor Xiang Kang, and I will never collude with him secretly to betray you and the king of Linjiang."

"Of course the king can trust the king of Nanyang." Chai Wu replied with a smile, and said: "The king of Nanyang is busy, we will meet again at another time, and the king will go back and urge the soldiers to make siege weapons."

After finishing speaking, Chai Wu got up immediately to leave. Liu Laosan, who had already carried the suspicion on his back, didn't hold back, but smiled and sent Chai Wu out of the Chinese army camp in person. When he returned to the big tent, Wen Xun just passed out again. Fan Kuai Wanting to fetch water and wake him up again, Liu Laosan shouted angrily: "There's no need, this bastard is obviously a dead man, no matter how hard he beats him, he won't change his words."

Fan Kui gave up resentfully, and Xiao He who was next to him hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what should we do? Judging by Chai Wu's expression, he has obviously suspected you, and this man refuses to confess to life and death. There is no way to remove your suspicion."

Liu Laosan didn't answer, but suddenly showed a ferocious smile, and said with a grim smile: "Xiang Kang made a bad move this time. If he sent someone who didn't know to frame me, it would be even more difficult for me, but he just added to the snake. , I just sent a dead man to use the divorce plan, and my affairs are much easier to handle!"

"What does your Majesty mean?" Xiao He asked suspiciously.

"Stupid than pigs and cows!" Liu Laosan habitually cursed, and then said with a smirk: "If this bastard is just dead, doesn't know the real truth, and confesses truthfully, I can't be sure that Chai Wu is going to die." What do you mean? Is it a coincidence that he came here suddenly today? But this man is a dead man, and he deliberately insisted on framing me in front of Mr. Chai Wu. It is tantamount to telling the king that Chai Wu is the object of Xiang Kang's divorce. It will be much easier for us to guard against being bribed by Xiang Kang's children."

"Then what should we do now?" Xiao He asked quickly.

Liu Laosan didn't answer, and after a while he shouted: "Call Han Xin right away, I want to hear his opinion."

According to Liu Laosan's order, Han Xin was quickly called in front of Liu Laosan. After listening to Liu Laosan's introduction, Han Xin was not angry but happy, and said: "Great opportunity! Now we just have to plan, and we will surely succeed." Destroy the Han army and easily take down the important town of Wancheng!"

"How to follow the plan?" Liu Laosan asked quickly.

Han Xin hurriedly told Liu Laosan the tactics he had thought up in a flash. Liu Laosan was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly ordered Cao Shen and others to prepare secretly, and hurried to the camp of the Yingbo Army, but it was the same as the current one. Unknowingly, Yingbo contacted and introduced the details of the matter to Yingbo, asking Yingbo to help him act according to the plan...

…………

Turning his head to look at the situation on Chai Wu's side, after returning to his camp, Chai Wu, who had already determined that Liu Laosan and Xiang Kang had secretly colluded, made repeated plans, but it still came that the Han army who was detained in his own camp last night The envoy, Gong Liangzao, told him what he saw and heard in Liu Lao San's camp. Gong Liangzao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Chai Wu: "Your Majesty, now you know that the envoy is not lying to you, right? Do you know how ruthless that bastard Liu Ji is? In order to cover up his shameless behavior, even the envoy who secretly communicated with the King of Han for him managed to do so cruelly, let alone you?"

Chai Wu didn't answer, but took out the letter written by Xiang Kang to himself, read it over and over for a long time, and then said: "Will your King of Han's promise be fulfilled?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive my emissary for speaking frankly. You don't have to worry about others." Gong Liangzao said with a smile, "Our King of Han's reputation is comparable to anyone else in the world? When we were in Huaisi, we gave up so much land and cities as soon as we said we would. out, not to mention a mere Nanyang County?"

Considering that Xiang Kang's credit is indeed extremely good, Chai Wu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You go back first, let me think about it, and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"My lord, my envoy really doesn't know what else you have to consider." Gong Liangzao hurriedly said, "The matter has come to this point. If you don't act first and Liu Jipifu preempts you, you just want to It’s too late to regret.”

"I still have to consider Yingbo's issue." Chai Wu said straightforwardly: "Liu Jipifu is not difficult to deal with, but Yingbo is not only my life-and-death friend, but also has the same military force as me. If he stands against Liu As for Jipifu, even with your help, I'm not sure I can kill Liu Jipifu."

"Your Majesty, can you please ask Linjiang King to remain neutral?" Gong Liangzao suggested: "When you suddenly attack, Your Majesty, you should also send someone to contact Linjiang King at the same time, tell him the truth, and ask him to remain neutral. Anyway, his fief is In Nanjun, Changsha, and Qianzhong, there is no need to fight to the end for Nanyang, our Han army and your army, and our Han king also clearly expressed his kindness to him, how could he refuse?"

Chai Wu's heart was moved, and he nodded involuntarily, and then he thought about it and said: "Go back and tell Junshou Lu and General Zhongli, when I am ready, I will send someone to contact them, and make an appointment to do it together."

Gong Liangzao was overjoyed, he thanked Chai Wu hurriedly, took his leave and went back to report the good news to Lu Yu.But what Gong Liangzao never dreamed of was that although Chai Wu had indeed made up his mind, in the evening, Ying Bu and Liu Laosan came to Chai Wu's camp secretly, and they had a heart-to-heart conversation with Chai Wu until late at night ...

…………

Let’s look at the situation on Lu’s side again. After Gong Liangzao brought the details of the envoy back to Wancheng, Lu’s was also overjoyed. In addition to immediately inviting Zhong Limei and Qi Ji to tell them the situation, he couldn’t wait to send an envoy Returning to Guanzhong, he reported the details of the incident to Xiang Kang, and he still had to look forward to Shu. He suggested that Xiang Kang increase his troops in Nanyang as soon as possible, and strive to keep the fertile land in Nanyang that the Han army planned to abandon strategically before.

It's a pity that after learning about the specific situation on Lu Yu's side, Xiang Kang not only did not show any joy, on the contrary, he complained and screamed: "Pretend to be smart! Lu Yu ruined my big business! Wancheng is over!"

The messenger sent by Lu Yu was dumbfounded, and Zhou Zeng who was next to him was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, why do you say that Wancheng is over?"

"Lu Yu shouldn't have used dead men!" Xiang Kang sighed, "If he follows my arrangement and sends Shi Jian to frame Liu Ji, and Shi Jian, who doesn't know the inside story, tells the truth and admits that he was sent by Lu Ji, Chai The military generals will be skeptical, they will not make up their minds to turn against him immediately, they will only secretly preserve their strength and be careful to guard against Liu Ji, so under the intrigue, Lu Jue and Zhong Limei will have a high degree of confidence to stick to the city and persist until Liu Ji, Chai Wu and Yingbu three The bandits will withdraw all their rations! In the future, we will continue to sow dissension, so that Liu Ji and Chai Wu can truly turn against each other and gain the greatest benefit!"

"But Lu Yu decided to be smart, so he sent a dead soldier to kill Liu Ji!"

Xiang Kang couldn't help but slammed the case in front of him again, and roared: "Don't you tell Liu Ji clearly that we have already tampered with Chai Wu, and we want to use Chai Wu's hand to clean him up? With the cunning of this traitor, How could it be possible not to follow the plan, secretly confiding in Chai Wu, and let Chai Wu come forward to lure our Wancheng defenders to take risks and fall into his trap?!"

"Will Chai Wu believe his heart-to-heart? He betrayed us again?" Zhou Zeng couldn't believe Xiang Kang's deduction.

"How is it impossible?" Xiang Kang shook his head helplessly, and said, "Our design to frame Liu Ji is a bit far-fetched. As long as Liu Ji tells the truth to Chai Wu and points out our purpose, Chai Wu will compare it back and forth. I can't figure it out." Our intentions are hard to come by! Lu Yu thinks he has a trick, and he will definitely fall into the trap of the bandits!"

Zhou Zeng didn't dare to say anything, but Xiang Kang made some calculations, and immediately ordered: "Tell Zheng Bu to command [-] troops, and immediately go south to reinforce Wuguan, to meet the defeated troops of Zhongli Mo and Lu Yu, and defend them no matter what. Wuguan!"

The guards in the hall sang promises, and hurried out to pass orders to Zheng Bu, the general of the Han army. Xiang Kang punched the table again, and sighed again helplessly: "Haste makes waste! Liu Laosan, your luck is indeed different." It's generally good, thanks to this idiot, Lu Yu, I painstakingly arranged a divorce plan, but it was easier for you to quickly take down the important town of Wancheng."

After a long sigh, after careful consideration, Xiang Kang found that he had forgotten an important issue—that is, Liu Laosan, Chai Wu, and Ying Bu would never have expected that he would be able to predict Wan Wan just after receiving the report from Lu Yu. The city will inevitably fall, and decisively send reinforcements to reinforce Wuguan!If I make a fuss about this point, it is entirely possible to make up for Wancheng's big defeat, just like playing chess. Just after one piece is eaten, another chess piece of the opponent is immediately eaten!
"I have a lot of capital, and the exchanging strategy is beneficial to me! It must be exchanged!" As soon as he came to this conclusion in his mind, Xiang Kang immediately made up his mind and ordered decisively: "Send someone to the gunpowder warehouse immediately, and take half of the gunpowder in stock. Move it out and hand it over to Zheng Bu! In addition, let Chen Ping quickly hand over the errands in hand and let him accompany Zheng Bu on the expedition!"
