15, sneak
After the autumn, the night in Jicheng was even quieter. Apart from the lights in the alleys in the city and the sound of gongzi coming from the city, the streets that had been curfewed were silent, and there was no trace of people except the soldiers who were occasionally patrolling by.
In a house near the county government office in the city, the guards were guarded and guarded by soldiers in the hallway. This is the residence of Han Sui, the head of the Han family in Jincheng, in Jicheng. After the kingdom moved into the county government, he requisitioned the neighboring house and gave it to Han Sui for use. Although Han Sui stayed in his own military camp outside the city more often, he would occasionally return to the city to spend the night.
At this moment, Han Sui was sitting in the lobby of the house. The butter candles as thick as a child on the lamp stands on both sides of the hall may burst out with lights, illuminating the entire lobby.
Although Han Sui was over forty years old, because of his pampering habits, the common vicissitudes and wrinkles of the people in the western region who have experienced the weather for a long time were gone, and his face was red under the candlelight. Only the traces of the past years could be seen on the slight frost on his temples. Although the night was getting darker, Han Sui, wearing a brocade robe, was still in great spirits. He held a bunch of bamboo slips in his hand and looked at them slowly with concentration.
A servant outside the hall walked in carefully and reported softly:
"The head of the family, the young master has arrived!"
Wang Guo nodded, not looking up. The servant stepped back tactfully when he saw this. After a while, Han Chang, who was wearing military uniforms, strode in. Seeing Han Sui lowered his head to read the book, he paused before speaking.
"uncle!"
Han Sui slowly raised his head when he heard the sound. He did not treat his subordinates as majestic and gloom in his treatment of the enemy. At this time, he looked at Han Chang, who was wearing military uniform, with kindness and love. Speaking of which, Han Chang and Han Sui looked quite similar, with a bit of Han Sui's charm when he was young. Although Han Sui was over forty years old, his only son died young and had no children since then. After this nephew was adopted, he watched him grow up, and in his heart he regarded him as his son.
"Sit down and talk!"
Han Chang nodded at the sound and did not sit down immediately, but instead approached and presented a piece of silk to Han Sui's desk, then bowed and retreated to the couch at the lower head and sat down and said.
"This is the news that the secret son in the county government has sent back. The kingdom has frequently met with various powerful families and tribal lords recently, and it seems that there will be any abnormal movement!"
Han Sui quickly glanced at the contents of the silk, and saw that it was filled with the names of the generals and tribal lords who had been called by the kingdom recently. He quietly put the silk into his sleeve, and then said to Han Chang:
"I know for my father! You are a little reckless when you enter the city tonight. Remember not to have another next time!"
If it were the usual rules, when Han Sui entered the city to live, Han Chang would definitely stay in the Han family's camp outside the city. However, after Han Chang learned the news from the secret son of the county government tonight, he did not leave the city, but instead stayed on his own initiative.
Han Chang naturally heard that his uncle was expressing his dissatisfaction with his decision without authorization, but he was unwilling to give up and gritted his teeth and continued to ask in a deep voice:
"I'm brave, but for some reason, my father has always tolerated the kingdom's tyranny in our eyes. Since the first year of Zhongping, my father has been holding a fierce and fierce man, and my Han family's men have fought bloody battles, and the current coalition has just arrived. This kingdom is just a mediocre talent in the state. After luckily winning the will of Jicheng, he steals the high position. There is no one in his eyes. He wants to seize the troops of my Han family many times, and now he is secretly colluding and planning misconduct. My father also often says, "It's a problem for several lifetimes." Why can't he make up his mind on this matter?"
Looking at his nephew who was indignant, Han Sui was silent. He naturally knew that his subordinates were puzzled by his behavior of indulging the kingdom. Some people even privately rumored that Han Sui was very afraid of the Wang family and his son, so he would tolerate it again and again. If others said such words in front of him, Han Sui would have been severely dealt with by criticizing the Lord and disrupting the morale of the army. However, Han Sui still had to be patient instructing and teaching his own children.
"I know everything you say, what do you think you should do as a father?"
"Of course, we have taken the initiative. Since we have already grasped the evidence of the kingdom's evil plots, we should take advantage of the fact that they are not prepared to invade the county government and arrest the Wang family and his son together without leaving any trouble!"
"What then?" Han Sui asked with a smile. Even Han Chang could not see that this was a sign of anger and laughter.
“···”
Han Chang was speechless for a moment. In his opinion, the top priority now was to kill the Wang family father and son. After the killing, his uncle would naturally take the position of the coalition leader again.
"Bang!"
Seeing that Han Chang was still sitting and knew nothing, Han Sui slapped the table angrily, his beard was angry, and pointed his halberd at Han Chang and scolded him.
"You are so confused. Regardless of whether you kill or not, the Wang family's father and son, even if you are asked to kill you, what will you do if the troops and troops of the six counties are originally from the six counties? What should you do when facing the surging public opinion? Can you use this piece of silk to convince everyone? If the soldiers are separated, will the hard work of these years be wasted?"
Han Chang was suddenly shocked by the angry Han Sui. After chewing his uncle's words, he was also afraid of the possible result. He had only seen the possibility of success before, but he did not think about how to deal with himself after the situation was completed. Under the surging emotions, it might be the death of the person who took action.
Han Chang, who felt that his uncle had angered, looked like a mortal face. He hurriedly left the table and knelt on the ground, bowing his head and dared not speak again.
After scolding Han Sui, he was no longer angry. He calmly cultivated his energy and quickly adjusted his emotions. Looking at Han Chang who was bowing to the ground in the hall, he sighed lightly.
"Get up"
Han Chang was appeased to be amnesty, and stood up tremblingly, but he did not dare to take a seat and stood with his head down.
Han Sui tapped the desk slightly with his fingers. He was intentional about the anger he had just gotten angry. Young people tended to be arrogant and arrogant when they were in high positions. Only by tapping appropriately could they accelerate their growth. Then, naturally, they were tempted by temptation. Han Sui looked at Han Chang again and said:
"The Wang family father and son are crazy, and they have troops. In order to pacify Liangzhou as soon as possible, I have to join forces with them. Since the joint forces, I have retreated to advance, deliberately showing weakness to make them more arrogant and proud and proud. They have no internal constraints. In order to truly command the entire army as soon as possible, they have to go west to attack Chang'an, and fight with the fierce enemies of Dong Zhuo. At that time, victory is not enough to be happy. If they are defeated, they will die without a place to bury!"
Hearing this, Han Chang, who had been bowing his head, felt a little sad. In the first year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others killed the Qiang-guying school captain Ling Zheng, and the prefect of Jincheng Chen Yi, the limelight was the most popular, but in fact, the strong soldiers and horses in his hands were also seriously injured, and they were replaced by Bian Zhang and his uncle who later joined.
Bian Zhang was defeated by Meiyang and his soldiers were dispersed. He ended up in depression. His uncle took advantage of the situation to merge his troops. Regardless of whether his opponent wins or loses, his uncle has his own way to deal with them. Thinking of these details that he forgot, Han Chang immediately understood that it was obvious that his uncle had already made a series of subsequent plans and arrangements when he gave in to the position of leader.
The more he thought about it, the more shocked Han Chang thought of his words and deeds that had just been eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he turned into a blush. He hurriedly became wise. He thought that something could make up for his mistakes, so he quickly raised his head and glanced at his uncle's expression. He found that Han Sui had calmed down and immediately continued the conversation.
"The boy has no choice but to make a guess. Fortunately, he has been advised by the adults. The child will follow the orders in the future and dare not make any decisions. Well - father, what else does the child have?"
"Tell me"
"Kai Er is the deputy general of the selection of the front line and secretly monitors Wang Fan's every move. However, there is another person in the army that aroused the child's idea!"
"oh?"
···
"Ah Yeh!"
Yan Xing, who was sneaking in the grass, couldn't help but sneeze, scaring him so much that he quickly blocked his nose and mouth, but still made a muffled sound in the grass. The twelve people who were walking with him were so scared that they quickly held their breath, stopped, and lay motionless in the grass.
Tonight, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Yan Xing left three people to guard the horses. The others used the gradually withered grass to approach the Han army's camp and peeked at the Han army's defense from nearby. Unexpectedly, an accident happened first as soon as they approached.
Fortunately, the patrolling Han army had just passed through the periphery of this area, and everyone was in a false alarm. They quickly accelerated and approached the edge of the grass to peek at the Han army from a close distance.
Yan Xing rubbed his nose, but he didn't expect that he would sneeze just now. It seemed that he was really not suitable to lead people to burrow into the grass. Since fifteen days ago, Yan Xing and others were ready to cross the southern lineage of Longshan, they paid a lot of money to find three hunters living at the foot of the mountain as guides, and followed the Wei River to flow and cross the mountains and ridges.
Even though he prepared the sulfur and other things to prevent snakes and insects, and had a guide who was familiar with the mountain road, he still injured a companion on the road and killed several horses. One of the three guides fell off the cliff and did not know how to live or die. One guide was bitten by a poisonous snake while walking through the forest and died immediately. Finally, after the difficulties, the sixteen people who had torn clothes and slept in the open, they finally climbed over the last hill and sneaked into the Sanfu Plain.
As soon as Yan Xing stepped onto the land of Guanzhong, he quickly ordered the exhausted people to rest and eat, change clothes. In order to prevent leaking news and returning to the road, he ordered the last hunter who served as a guide to take him with him.
There is no way to venture to visit the military camp at night tonight. Since the war in the area of Fengxian County recurred, Chen Cangcheng has entered a state of alert. This city has become a military fortress, and it needs to be checked for identity and road traffic when entering and leaving. It is even more difficult to get close to the military camp outside the city during the day. Yan Xing and others must complete the defense and spy on the military affairs of the Sanfu area before it snows in winter, otherwise it will be impossible to close the mountain along the same road. So they have to take the risk tonight.
Gan Ling and Ma Lin also followed Yan Xing this time. The two of them immediately squatted in the grass and silently calculated the number of bonfires in the Han military camp. Generally speaking, when the army camped at night, a bunch of bonfires must be left between several adjacent tents to illuminate the road, which is to facilitate the soldiers who come out of Gong at night, and also expand the vision of the inspected soldiers. Therefore, the scouts should learn to judge the number of enemy troops through the enemy's stove and bonfire, and report the information to the commander in the army in a timely manner, which has become a standard for measuring the number of enemy troops and combat power.
"····87,88,89, I am eighty-nine!" Ma Lin turned his face and said as he looked at Gan Ling's blurred side face in the darkness.
"I'm eighty-seven!" Gan Ling rolled his eyes and said in a low voice.
