Jun's father said: "The Jurchens, Mongols, and Manchu Iron Guards in this valley are all under my command. This is only a small part of the forces I control.

I have the power of life and death for several people in the world. If I am not a hero, who else in this world can be called a hero?"

Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "The so-called heroes are those who are upright, courageous and knowledgeable. No matter how talented you are, you specialize in sneak attacks and assassinations. You only use conspiracy and trickery and always hide in dark corners. How can you be at all upright?"

"And the so-called heroes must be ambitious. You are a Han Chinese, but you have taken refuge in a foreign country. You are willing to be the slave of the Hu people. You are not ashamed but proud of it. How can you be ambitious? You said that the Hu people in this valley are all following your orders, but you don't know that they are ordered to do so."

The person who is loyal is not you but the interests of their respective tribes. How can you be considered a hero if you are just being used by others?"

Jun's father laughed "haha" and said: "Although Master Hua's eloquence is good, it's a pity that his knowledge is lacking. As the saying goes, a soldier's deception is necessary to defeat the enemy. Intelligence and strategy are essential. You fall into the trap, but you say that others are not aboveboard. Isn't it foolish?"

Ordering the soldiers and horses of the world to be used by me is the work of a talented and strategist. It doesn't matter whether they are Han people or barbarians. If I want to borrow the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, I can mobilize them. Since I want them to sacrifice their lives for me, I will give them to them.

Some benefits don’t matter who they are loyal to.”

He suddenly stopped smiling and stared at Hua Bushi's face and said: "Do you know what I am best at? It is to see through other people's hearts. In fact, the only reason why Master Hua refuses to drink this glass of wine is because of a guilty conscience."

Hua Bushi said: "Why do I feel guilty?"

Jun's father said: "Young Master Hua is also a man who knows strategy. But even so, he still can't escape the fate destined by God. It is your fate to be defeated in the Mafei Gorge today. Ordinary and stupid Rufu is about to die. Maybe."

You don’t know it yet, but you are a smart person. If you understand the chance of winning this gambling battle in front of you, your heart will inevitably be filled with fear and uneasiness..."

Jun's father's pupils shone with a frightening light and said: "The more capable and smart a person is, the more he hopes that he can change his destiny. But it's a pity that your mental strength is limited. Compared with me, you are like the stars competing with the bright moon."

Hui, although you know this, you are unwilling to admit it and are afraid that others will see what you are thinking, so you deliberately act arrogant and conceited. In fact, it is just to cover up and deceive others and yourself."

Hua Bushi looked up to the sky and said haha: "I didn't expect you to be able to tell fortunes, but it opened my eyes. However, I think you are only a half-immortal at best, so your fortune telling may not be accurate." [

Jun's father said: "Whether what I said is accurate will not take long to prove that Master Hua doesn't drink. Let's start the bet between us immediately."

Both of them are good at attacking the mind. This quarrel was suspected to be to gain a psychological advantage before the actual confrontation. Yang Sichang on the side looked at it, but he was secretly worried.

Jun's father and Hua Bushi seemed to be on the same level in terms of words, but Yang Sichang could see that Jun's father was talking and laughing freely and was obviously full of confidence in this battle. Although Hua Bushi did not show weakness, there was a smile on his face.

Somewhat reluctantly

This is natural

Currently in the valley, the men and horses under Junfu's command include five or six hundred bannermen from the "Black Wind Banner", more than 500 cavalry archers from the "Tiger and Rabbit Department", and a total of 300 black-armored knights from the "Iron Guard Battalion"

There were more than 1,400 people, but Hua Bushi could only mobilize Yu Jue's cavalry, 300 "Bai Longxing" disciples, and 200 people from the Dazhen tribe, which added up to only 800 people.

The gap in military strength between the two sides is so huge that our side is completely at a disadvantage. It is not easy to win. How can Hua Bushi do it easily?

But I heard Jun's father say: "You and I each stand on one side of the bluestone platform and write out the instructions with pen and ink. Send one person to the corners of the platform on both sides to spread the word with flags. If Master Hua objects, we will start now."

The top of this bluestone platform is in the shape of a semi-arc. Both sides are recessed along the stone walls. The flags are sent out at the corners of the platform. The people below the platform can clearly see it. However, the people on the other side of the stone platform cannot see because their sight is blocked by the rocks. Although Junfu and Hua Bushi stood together in front of the rock table in Taichung and watched the battle in the valley, the instructions given to each other were not known to the other.

Jun's father chose this bluestone platform as a place to win the bet precisely because it has such an advantage.

Seeing Hua Bushi nodding in agreement with Jun's father, he said: "Come and get some pen and ink."

The scholar Wenqin brought two pairs of pen and inkstones and two thick stacks of paper and placed them on the rock table.

Jun's father stretched out his hand and said: "Master Hua, please"

Hua Bushi also said: "Please"

From ancient times to the present, there have been several generals and armies fighting on the battlefield, but there has never been one who could face-to-face with their opponents and ignore orders. And from ancient times to the present, there have been several gamblers sitting at the same table, but what they bet on is It's the same as playing dice, playing mahjong with nine horses, mobilizing thousands of troops and horses, and using military tactics to fight for victory.

Although the bet between the two people today may not be a latecomer, it is definitely a move made by the ancients [

Jun's father picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper and handed it to Shi Qingzhu behind him and said: "Qingzhu, go and pass the flag order."

Shi Qingzhu responded, took the paper and turned around.

Hua Bushi took a "hair" brush and wrote four or five pages in succession before handing it over to Meng Huan and ordered: "Pass it out in order."

Although Junfu and Hua Bushi were both writing instructions on the rock table, neither of them glanced at the other's paper.

Jun's father had already given the order. He picked up the wine glass and poured it lightly. His face was leisurely. Hua Bushi wrote for a longer time. After handing the paper to Meng Huan, his face was as heavy as water and solemn.

Yang Sichang was standing behind Hua Bushi, so he could see the order written by the young master, but his face showed a thoughtful look.

Both sides used flags to send out orders. In an instant, the troops and horses in the valley were already in action. The order given by the king's father was obviously in formation and waiting for change. However, the men and horses from the Black Wind Banners and the Iron Guard Battalion were seen moving forward and posing. In the attack formation, the cavalry and archers of the "Tiger and Rabbit Department" moved to one side as if preparing to attack the flank.

Compared with the instructions given by the emperor's father Hua Bushi, they were much bolder. However, seeing "Bai Long March", the three groups of officers, soldiers and cavalry from the Dazhen tribe and Yu Jue rushed forward in unison towards the opponent's formation.

Seeing this, Father Jun showed a smile on his face and said, "Young Master Hua's bluffing feint strategy will probably be very useful."

Hua Bushi didn't have time to answer, but he only heard a delicate voice behind him saying: "Bailu Si, how do you know it's useless? I said it's useless for you to put up that turtle formation."

The speaker is none other than Zhu Huichan

The situation of this battle is quite unfavorable. Chu Yiyi, Zhong Bailong and others on the stage all have worried faces and solemn expressions. The prince Zhu Cixiang is even more frightened and trembling all over. Only Zhu Huichan is bolder and does not look afraid at all.

Zhu Huichan knew nothing about the art of war. The formation listed by Junfu was supposed to be an offensive formation, but she called it a turtle formation. And this little princess was the best at giving people nicknames. Junfu, who was dressed in white robe and had a tall and handsome figure, was actually called "turtle formation" by her. Become egret silk

Jun's father heard this but did not show any anger. He slowly poured a glass of wine and said: "Princess Kunyi, I originally planned to kill you with a knife after winning this bet, but now I have changed my mind and decided to reward you." "Huluba"

He took a sip of wine and said: "Huluba was seriously injured the day before yesterday and one of his right arms is probably useless. He is full of resentment towards you. But I will reward him with the princess of the Ming Dynasty as a concubine. I am sure he will be satisfied." of"

Hu Luba was nine feet tall and had black hair all over his body. He had an extremely rough appearance. Zhu Huichan had also seen her before. At this time, she couldn't help but trembled in her heart when she heard Jun's father's words, but then she said loudly: "I'm not afraid of the Bull Demon King protecting me. Don’t even think about catching this princess.”

Jun's father smiled slightly but ignored her and turned his attention to the battle situation in the valley under the stone platform.

What Jun's father expected was not wrong. Hua Bushi's move of the army forward was just a feint attack.

Before the soldiers and horses of both sides came into contact with the front team, the Dazhu tribe and the disciples of "Bai Longxing" suddenly retreated to both sides. Yu Jue's three hundred cavalry rushed out, but passed by the side of the "Black Wind Flag" troops and rushed towards the location. The Mongolian "Tiger and Rabbit Division" cavalry on the flank of the opponent's formation

The disciples of the Dazhu tribe and "Bai Longxing" immediately retreated and gathered on the slope on the west side after giving up the passage, obviously preparing to use the terrain to defend.

Jun's father smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Hua's move of dividing the troops to fight is a very clever move to take advantage of the situation."

There are more than 1,400 troops and horses from the three parties under Jun's father's command. Hua Bushi only has 800 troops. However, the gap in combat power between the two sides is not just in numbers.

The Iron Guard Battalion is a fierce heavy cavalry. The bannermen of the "Black Wind Flag" are considered light cavalry, while the 500 people of the "Tiger and Rabbit Department" are cavalry and archers who are good at long-range attacks. Once they form a formation, these three troops are just right. Can cooperate to fight

Relatively speaking, although the Dazhen tribe has mounts, they are actually infantry who are not good at mounted combat. The same is true for the disciples of "Bai Longxing". Only the three hundred officers and soldiers under Yu Jue can be considered regular cavalry, but their impact power is probably not as good as that of iron. There are no long-range troops among the 800 troops in the third guard camp. If we confront the opponent head-on, no matter how we set up the formation, we will definitely suffer losses.

Therefore, Hua Bushi used the Dazun tribe and the disciples of "Bai Longxing" to cover with a feint attack. The purpose was to allow Yu Jue's cavalry to attack the Mongolian shooters of the "Huhantu tribe". If they could deal with the opponent's long-range troops, the two sides would have a fight.
