Chapter 22 The Dilemma of the White Water Fox

Another year when the grass is growing and the warblers are flying, the dignitaries in Chang'an ride high-headed horses, beautiful wives and concubines, and servants and servants, and drink and food to occupy a good piece of land outside the city. ★W√w    W.

81zW.

CoM Spring rain in Chang'an is intoxicated by eyes, and the red skirt and green shoes dance without stopping. Ordinary people do not have a good wife, nor do they pick up wine, but they do not reduce the interest in going out for spring. They may gather together with friends, boat in the green water, and sing loudly in the deepest feelings, or support the elderly and the children and the whole family, or go out alone to enjoy the greenery, and sing quietly.

However, the people in the border town do not have this leisure and elegance. Every year at the end of autumn and early spring, it is the time when the agile and fierce hunters on the northern grasslands "took grass valley". For the people in the border town, these horse demons that come and go like the wind are their lingering nightmare.

Hunters have to move their muscles and bones for a winter, and rob some food, women, slaves, and improve their lives in small ways. People with unscrupulous and ulterior motives, cruel people, stupid and cowardly people will always offer their praises to these hunters, praise their passions, imagine their romance, wear painted skins to the barbaric, and sing praises to the killing.

However, the people in Fengzhou area can breathe a sigh of relief this year. The central forest that had harassed them for many years was completely defeated at the end of last year. The newly established Yinshan, Shannan and Ningbian counties were like three pairs of iron bridles, locking the rushing wild horses and the shiny flying scimitar. The neighboring Tiande Army was not so lucky. In March, the nomads at Niutou Chao Shiweiwutu tribes in the area of ​​Niutou had already rushed south three times. The last time it was bypassed Huyan Valley and went straight to the surrendered city of Tiande Army. Wang Qian, the governor of Tiande Army, suddenly became bedridden at that time.

Regarding Wang Qian's illness, there is a erotic and sinister joke circulating in the crowd. Wang Qian is lustful. In addition to the thirteen beautiful wives and concubines in his family, he also has a class of 80 people. In addition, he often has banquets all night in the dental office, and all his subordinates must bring their wives and concubines. As long as Wang Qian likes him, he forces his old wife who chants Buddha and is vegetarian to stay with him as a famous person to study Buddhism, and then he hooks up with both soft and hard people until he gets tired of playing.

Wang Qian pays attention to the three words "loyalty, virtue, talent" when employed. Loyal and talented people will be valued, followed by loyalty and less talent, and virtuous and talented again. Wang Qian's most important thing to judge whether a person is loyal to him is to see whether he is willing to give his wives and concubines. The more times he gives and willingness to give, it means that he is the most loyal. On the contrary, those who refuse to give his wives and concubines are considered virtuous people. He does not like such people, but if their talents are outstanding, they can still have a foothold, but they will never be valued.

In order to protect their power, officials of the Tiande Army rushed to offer their wives and concubines to Wang Qian. Some even spent a lot of money to collect beauties just to make their boss smile. On the ninth day of the third month, when the cavalry of the Wutu tribe suddenly appeared at the city, Wang Qian and his wife of the march Sima were watching the chrysanthemums and praising the flute in the inner hall. The two were getting a wonderful thing, but the door was suddenly broken by the panicked secretary. A certain part of Wang Qian suddenly felt blood flowing, and he fainted with a loud shout, and he was no longer ill from then on.

Fortunately, the four-legged horse could not climb the city wall, and fortunately, Wang Qian's younger brother Wang Ben was quite strategic, and fortunately, the guardian of Huyan Valley was a famous general, and he was more virtuous and talented. Baishui fox hurriedly retreated north after washing two farms of Wang Qian in the south of the city. Wang Qian, who had been in charge of the Tiande Army for nearly ten years, could no longer get up. He was discouraged and wanted to hand over the military and political power of the Tiande Army to his young brother Wang Ben, but was strongly opposed by his three sons. Wang Ben refused to take his position. In order to show his wishes, he resigned from his posts and took his wife and daughter back to the farm in Munashannan to live in seclusion.

Unable to arrange the funeral, Wang Qian had to live for the time being, but the inside and outside of the Tiande Army had become a mess. Baishuihu decided to go south again after learning the truth. This time his appetite was not just to seize a few villages or a few women. He forced all men over fifteen or sixty in the Wutu tribe to wear battles. A total of more than 7,000 cavalrymen from each surname were divided into three directions and advanced southward.

The west route consists of 1,300 soldiers from the three surnames of Datongchuan. They head southwest to outside Jiuniang Pass to warn the troops in Fengzhou. The east route is commanded by Zhang Chaoyang, a sworn brother of Baishuihu, and sent 1,500 troops to advance east to the southern foot of Qingshan to warn the Zhenwu Army. Baishuihu himself led 4,000 main forces to attack Huyangu. Huyangu is fifty miles away from Zhongshuijiang City, which is the northern gate of Zhongshuijiang City, and the terrain is dangerous. It was originally guarded by Mou Baichi, the son of Mou Ling, a famous general of Tiande Army. Mou Baichi was about thirty years old and was deeply educated by his father. Mou Ling was jealous of Wang Qian because of his great achievements and had to retire and return home. Mou Baichi became the first general of Tiande Army.

Like his father, Mou Baichi is a virtuous and talented person in Wang Qian's eyes, but he has no loyalty. Wang Qian did not trust Mou Baichi, but he had to use it. After being seriously ill, Wang Qian knew that his three sons could not control Mou Baichi, so he took the lead and found an excuse to waive Mou Baichi's position, and beat him home to serve his father. The general of Huyangu was taken over by his third son Wang Lin, and his nephew Wang Zeng was appointed as deputy general.

Wang Lin was cowardly and did not know the soldiers. Wang Zeng was greedy for alcohol and lustful. Baishui Fox thought that when his army arrived, the two of them would flee. Unexpectedly, the four thousand army could not break the city for three days. Baishui Fox was shocked and sent someone to inquire. He found out that the famous general in Huyan Valley was named Huyan Baichuan. He had been under Mou Ling's tent for many years and had obtained the true teachings of Mou Ling. Although Wang Lin was cowardly and did not know the soldiers, he was quite conscious and valued Huyan Baichuan very much. When he was facing the enemy, he almost obeyed Huyan Baichuan. It was precisely because of this that Baishui fox worked hard but failed.

Baishuihu had a plan and wrote a letter and sent someone to send it into the valley. As soon as the sender crossed the mountain and entered the valley, he was taken by the defenders. The defenders handed over the people and the letter to the chief general Wang Lin. Baishuihu asked Hu Yan Baichuan when he could fulfill his promise. At the same time, he reiterated that after seizing the Tiande Army, he would leave only his children, jade, farm, and city to Hu Yan Baichuan.

After reading the letter, Wang Lin was furious and ordered the guards to take Hu Yan Baichuan to question him. Wang Zeng hurriedly stopped him, "San brother, don't be trapped by the fox." Wang Lin said angrily, "What else do you have to say in black and white?" Wang Zeng said, "San brother, please think, Hu Yan Baichuan will be stationed in Hu Yan Valley before we come. If he is really a Baishui Fox, why didn't he offer the city early? The terrain of Hu Yan Valley is so dangerous, as long as he guards the pass, we will find it difficult to enter. I think this must be the plan of the Baishui Fox envoy."

Wang Lin also came back and slapped the table and cursed, "This guy is really treacherous. I will chop off the messenger's head and return it to humiliate him." Wang Zeng advised again, "Although that is relieved, it will not hurt his muscles and bones. Why don't the third brother use the trick to make him enter the city and take his life? If he can make such a great contribution, the general will be happy. Maybe..." Wang Lin hurriedly interrupted him and whispered, "Be careful of the ears of the wall." He also said, "If a big thing is done, I will not forget your benefits." Wang Zeng was very happy.

At 5 o'clock that night, there were suddenly beating drums and drums on the city wall of Huyangu Beiguan, and the torches shone in the daytime. The white water fox was overjoyed and hurriedly put on armor to the front of the formation to watch. He saw two heads hanging on the top of the city wall, one of which was the school he sent to deliver the letter. Wang Lin smiled proudly and said, "Bai Fox, your inner responsibilities have been corrected by me. Can this kind of trick be hidden from this general?"

Seeing this, Baishui Fox laughed and immediately ordered the siege. Baishui Fox personally supervised the battle. The siege was defeated until the end of the fifth update. Tiande's army was defeated and Huyangu Beiguan lost. Baishui Fox was not in a hurry to go into the valley to chase. He climbed to the top of Beiguan and looked south with the light of the morning light. He saw hundreds of households in the valley crying for their parents and making trouble. Wang Lin and Wang Zeng's brothers were just concerned about running away. Tiande's army trampled on each other, and many casualties were injured. Baishui Fox couldn't help laughing and ordered the pursuit.

Three miles apart from Huyan Valley North Pass to Nanguan, there is a narrow mountain valley in the middle. The mountains on both sides are high and the terrain is dangerous. Baishui Fox personally led the light cavalry to chase after him. The two teams behind the Tiande Army were instantly washed away. When the Shiwei people chased the city under the Nanguan City, the city gate was not closed. Baishui Fox was secretly happy and was about to ride a horse to grab the pass, but he was afraid that a group of people would appear under the city, and a murderous aura was immediately in front of a general, forming a strong contrast with the Wang brothers who were covered in dust in the defeat.

Baishuihu pulled his horse and asked, "Who is General Tang? Do you want to die?"

The general sneered: "Huyan Valley Deputy General Huyan Baichuan."

The Baishui Fox was suddenly startled and said in a trembling voice: "Aren't you dead?"

Before he finished speaking, someone on the top of the city laughed: "Bai Fox, you are fooled." Baishui Fox looked up and saw that the Wang brothers were commanding a team of crossbowmen to set up a formation. Baishui Fox knew that something was wrong and drove his horse away. Hu Yan Baichuan chased after him. The crossbow arrows were even more chasing at the top of the city. Baishui Fox was hit by an arrow on the back, and was in a mess. According to the original plan, Wang Lin led the Baishui Fox into the valley. After the soldiers who were ambushing the mountain near Beiguan immediately captured Beiguan, cut off the Baishui Fox's retreat, and trapped the Baishui Fox to death in the valley.

Baishui Fox was brave and thoughtful. After he seized Beiguan, he left his most elite guard to guard. The soldiers on the mountain were repelled after they seized the pass many times, causing Baishui Fox to escape. Baishui Fox was defeated by the enemy and returned home in disgrace. He was injured again and was extremely upset. He ordered all the prisoners of war captured Tiande Army, and drove hundreds of women who had been looted from the valley to the front of Beiguan, and asked the soldiers to strip naked women's clothes and slaughter the Wang brothers to fight.

Most of these women were family members of the garrison. Seeing their wives, daughters and sisters being insulted by the enemy in front of the battlefield, the soldiers of the defenders demanded to leave the customs and fight to the decisive battle.

Wang Lin hesitated and asked Hu Yan Baichuan for advice. Hu Yan Baichuan said, "Tadaro cavalry is good at fighting in the field. Our army has many infantry troops, so it is advisable to defend on the dangerous ground." Wang Lin said, "If you don't go out to fight, how can you explain to the soldiers?" Hu Yan Baichuan said, "You can exchange the captives of Dada for the soldiers' wives and daughters." Wang Lin used his plan and ordered the use of Wei prisoners in the room to exchange for captured women. Baishuihu was reluctant, but he was afraid of causing a mutiny and did not dare to refuse. Exchange

After that, Wang Lin had more than a dozen prisoners left. Wang Zeng offered a plan to tie more than a dozen prisoners to the top of the city and cut them alive, and incited the Wei people in Shi to attack the city so as to cause major damage to the enemy. Wang Lin allowed the wailing sound of the prisoners of war in Shi Wei and threw the remaining limbs under the city at will. Shi Wei people were angry and asked for battle. Baishuihu knew it was the opponent's aggressive plan, but he was afraid of stirring up a mutiny, so he had to bite the bullet and order the siege.

After two consecutive days, hundreds of soldiers who were attacking the city were killed and injured, but Huyangu Beiguan was still firmly held in the hands of the Tiande Army. Baishui Fox forced the generals to stop the troops and return to the camp. The generals of the Wutu tribe returned without success and felt depressed. The old clan, who was originally overwhelmed by Baishui Fox, was ready to move at this time. Baishui Fox was exhausted and could not do anything.

Late that night, three men wearing black cloaks suddenly arrived at the Baishui Fox Camp. The three of them were publicly identities as Hedong merchants who were engaged in fur business, but in fact they were the special envoys of the Hedong Jiedushi Liu Qingling. The man was named Qu Chuji, and he was one of the best strategists under Liu Qingling's screen.

After meeting the Baishuihu, Qu Chuji asked: "Khan is not good at solving the problem, what are the plans for the future?"

Baishuihu said: "Mr. I am familiar with the customs of the northern region and should know that 'grass-killing valley' is just a fun thing for each tribe to relieve sorrow and boredom when there is nothing to do in spring and autumn. Now the grass has grown, so I will naturally go back to my hometown to grazing."

Qu Chuji sneered: "Khan wants to leave, will Wang Lin stop easily? Wang Qian is seriously ill and is about to die. At this time, he is looking forward to making a great contribution."

"So what? Will he dare to go out of the city to fight me? I'm asking for it." Baishui Fox was tough, but he felt relieved. He also knew that the reason why Wang Lin did not go out of seclusion and fought with him was not because he was afraid of the enemy, but because he followed Hu Yan Baichuan's plan and was waiting for the opportunity. If he retreated at this moment, he would definitely follow him, which was his trouble. He was injured by his prey when he went out to hunt. If his face was lost, could his Khan's position be stable?

Qu Chuji saw through Baishui Fox's thoughts and his heart was filled with contempt. His tone of speaking became even more sarcastic: "When going out to hunt, he was bitten by prey. This is not the work of the heroes of the grassland. If Khan loses to Wang Lin this time, I am afraid that someone will not accept you."

"You!" Bai Shuihu's face suddenly turned pale, and his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife without realizing it. Qu Chuji stared at his face coldly and asked lazily: "Am I wrong?"

Baishui Fox swallowed a breath and asked with a cold face: "Sir, are you here to see my joke?"

"Of course not." Qu Chuji felt that it was really meaningless to follow him like this, so he said bluntly: "I will be ordered by Liu Shuai to help Khan capture the Wang father and son and join the Tiande Army."

Baishuihu was not happy at all, and he asked calmly: "What price should I pay?"

"Good!" Qu Chuji praised and said word by word: "Break off diplomatic relations with Liu Yang and become a barrier to Hedong."

"It's that simple?"

“It’s that simple.”

“Is this too simple?”

“It’s that simple.”

Baishuihu stared at Qu Chuji's thin white face coldly. After a long time, he stretched out his right hand: "Trade."
