Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth: Hulao sent troops
Cao Hui did not expect that Xiao Qiang would see that he would be in his combat command room rather than in his private study. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a sank in his heart. Hulaoguan was really preparing for a war, and he could read a lot of things from the fun eyes of the generals looking at him.
"Cao Hui, the special envoy of the Emperor of Great Qi, has seen General Xiao!" He clasped his fists and bowed slightly as a tribute.
Xiao Qiang laughed loudly, without returning the tribute, pointed at Cao Hui and said to the generals: "Dear generals, this is the commander of the famous Daqi ghost shadow. His name can stop a child from crying at night. This is not something that anyone can see. You are blessed."
A burst of laughter broke out inside the house. These generals stationed in Hulao Pass and military camps of all sizes outside. Regardless of which one, they had done one thing in their lifetime, which was to fight against the Qi people. Of course, they had no good feelings for the big men of Qi.
What is a ghost? To put it bluntly, it is a spy probe. The generals who lead troops to fight hate this type of person the most, because these people don’t look conspicuous, but they can cause real damage to them on the battlefield. They are not afraid of being open-minded, but they are afraid of such conspiracy. You may not be sure when they will fall into a big fall because of a piece of intelligence from a small spy probe.
"It turns out that the commander of the ghost is actually a little white-faced!" A Qin general laughed so happily, his beard trembling with the laughter: "It looks like a rabbit husband."
Cao Hui's face turned cold and he turned to look at the Qin general, "Even if he is a novice, he can easily kill you. He is a big head and a fool."
With a choking sound, he practiced with one sword. The scolded general was furious and pulled the sword toward Cao Hui. Xiao Qian sat in his seat with his arms and smiled, without any intention of stopping it. Hulao Pass was about to send troops, so naturally he didn't have to be polite to the people of Qi. Cao Hui could not kill him, but after humiliation, it was no big deal.
The sword light was shrouded, and Cao Hui's original harmless smile suddenly filled with murderous aura. His white and clean hand stretched out and grabbed the Qin general's sword in the air. No matter how Qin general tried to regain his strength, the blade body remained motionless.
The bearded general Qin was furious and exerted force on his hand. A big foot snorted straight down Cao Hui. Cao Hui snorted coldly, his hand shook slightly, and the knife broke into countless pieces with a bang, turning into pieces flying all over the sky. General Qin groaned, turned over and fell back into the generals, looking at Cao Hui, with a look of horror on his face.
"Just that's all, I want to kill me?" Cao Hui glanced at the other party contemptuously, "Cao kills you like slaughtering a chicken or a dog."
The general's face was flushed, he screamed, reached out and pulled out the sword of the general beside him, and was about to rush up again.
"Enough. You are a general, not a thug!" Xiao Qiang snorted coldly: "Do you still feel embarrassed enough? Go out and get your own thirty military sticks."
The bearded general Qin gritted his teeth and stared at Cao Hui for a few times, suddenly roared, turned around and walked out of the hall. After a while, the sound of fried pork with bamboo shoots came from outside.
Xiao Qiang looked at Cao Hui playfully, "The prince's direct disciple is indeed well-known. Commander Cao, you are a big figure in the Great Qi, why did you go to my Hulao Pass so secretly? Are you not afraid that I will kill you and have no evidence to die?"
Cao Hui raised his head and smiled: "If General Xiao really wanted to kill me, I would naturally be unable to escape, but would you? If you were really a guy with developed limbs and simple minds like the guy before, Cao wouldn't have appeared here."
Xiao Qiang laughed, "Although it's a flattery, I'm very happy. There are not many people in this world who can flatter Lord Cao, and Xiao is honored. Lord Cao has been trekking hard in Hengshan Mountains for a while, and your subordinates may not have kept up with you for a while. You probably don't know some news yet, right?"
Cao Hui felt a stern in his heart and looked at Xiao Qiang: "I see Hulao Pass that seems to be sending troops?"
Xiao Qiang nodded: "Yes, Lord Cao, soon my Hulao Pass army will attack you. Does Lord Cao know why this is?"
Cao Hui's face changed slightly and he said in a stern voice: "Mingguo won the battle in Fengxian?"
"Mr. Cao is indeed a person with a good mind. Yes, Qin Feng won, and won neatly. Guo Xiancheng lost even his underwear this time. Cao Gexian Bisong all fell into the hands of the Ming people. Nearly 20,000 Qi troops were surrounded, and there was no way to go to heaven and no way to the ground." Xiao Qiang laughed and said, "As the general of Qin, the guard of Hulao Pass, if I don't send troops at this time, wouldn't I be unfaithful to my emperor and unfaithful to Qin? Naturally, I have to leave Hulao Pass and take a walk."
Cao Hui was shocked. When the two armies fought, there was no need to win. Guo Xiancheng lost, and he was mentally prepared. However, after Xiao Qiang's words, losing so badly was beyond his expectations. Even generals like Cao Ge and Xian Bisong fell into the hands of the Ming army. Guo Xiancheng's battle was obviously a complete loss.
The result of this battle will surely affect the political direction of the entire continent. Even Xiao Qiang knew that he would go out of Hulao Pass to find a bargain. How could the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops sit on the front line of Kunling Pass and see a great opportunity to slip away? I believe that at this time, the Chu people had already launched Kunling Pass.
He took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Qiang: "What can I do to let General Xiao sit firmly on Diaoyutai this time and watch the storm rise?"
Xiao Qiang shook his head slowly.
"General Xiao, even though I, Daqi, lost this time in Fengxian County, with my Daqi's family, I am not unable to afford to lose. After losing this battle, we are indeed passive, but we only need to mobilize Daqi, and we can get it in an instant with a million soldiers. How much advantage do you think you can get?" Cao Hui asked sternly.
"The Three Kingdoms Anti-Qi Alliance has been initially formed. This is the general trend. Xiao dare not disobey it." Xiao Qiang said lightly: "Even if Qi has millions of soldiers, this time he will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die. Lord Cao, weaken your Qi State, Xiao is still happy to see it. There is nothing that can be replaced."
"If you want money? Or weapons and equipment?" Cao Hui was not discouraged, and then said, "As long as you General Xiao propose it, I, Daqi, can satisfy you."
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Since Lord Cao has arrived at Hulao Pass, he can see a lot of things. The business road between Hulao Pass and Yongping County of Ming Kingdom has been opened. It is living water and can continuously transport wealth to me Hulao Pass. How can I not ask for money in the long run? I still have some money now. As for weapons and equipment? I think Ming Kingdom's business is more sharp. Didn't Lord Cao see Ming people's weapons shops on the street?"
"So, Lord Xiao has decided?" Cao Hui said sternly.
"Yes, it's imperative that the Qin army leaves Hulao Pass." Xiao Qiang laughed: "If Qi can give me the Iron Gate Pass, then Xiao will take the Iron Gate Pass as the boundary and will not take it forward."
Cao Hui grinned: "General Xiao, you should not be too greedy. If you are too greedy, you will have nothing left. Even if I lose ten times, I will win all of you as long as you win once. But if you lose once, you will have nothing left. Just consider it yourself. Cao said goodbye."
"Please ask for it. After you go back, you will tell the Emperor of Qi that I only want the Iron Gate Pass!" Xiao Qiang said loudly.
"Idiotic!" Cao Hui threw down four words and left.
"It's so rude!" Xiao Xin looked at Cao Hui who was leaving and said angrily: "Dad, since the war is about to start, why not take this person down. This person has a high position and power. If we take him down, we will have more capital."
Xiao Qiang shook his head: "If we really want to detain this person, we will never die with Qi. Who is this person? Cao Chong's personal disciple, Cao Chong is the prince of Qi, with no children. Just such a disciple, he is also the son-in-law of the chief minister of Qi. What's more important is that he is the confidant of the emperor of Qi. If he detained him, it was not capital, it was a lot of trouble. This person is right. Qi can lose ten times and a hundred times, but we can't afford to lose at once."
"Dad really wants to break the iron gate?" Xiao Xin widened his eyes.
Xiao Qiang laughed, "Is the Iron Gate Pass that easy to fight? In this battle, what we have to do is to remove all the Qi soldiers in Hengshan and completely control Hengshan in our hands. Just do this, that is enough. Have the weapons sent by the Ming people already received?"
"It's all old equipment." Xiao Xin said angrily.
"The old equipment is much better than ours!" Xiao Qiang sighed, "With these things, at least, I can put another ten thousand soldiers on real iron armor." He stood up and glanced at the generals in the house: "The military discussion ends here. From now on, the generals of the army will start to attack the Qi army in Hengshan, clear out Hengshan, remove all the outposts of the Qi army in Hengshan, and the ending line of the battle is Ironmen Pass!"
"The last general will obey the order!" Dozens of generals responded with a loud bang and turned around and left the hall.
Xiao Qiang watched the generals leave silently, sat alone in the hall for a while, then got up and walked back to his study room. There were two people sitting quietly in the study room. One of them was Lu Dayuan, the Qin general who led the entire army to surrender to the Ming army in Hengdian.
"Cao Hui is here, and he is leaving again!" Xiao Qiang looked at the two people opposite and smiled, "Commander Guo, Xiao is about to send troops. I hope you promised that my food and grass, as well as subsequent military equipment, can be transported to Hulao Pass immediately."
The white-haired Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "Of course, these things have arrived in Yongping County and will be transported to Hulao Pass soon."
"What about those I want?"
"Of course there are also one hundred new crossbow machines and two hundred new stone cannons, all among this batch of supplies." Guo Jiuling nodded.
"That's good, Commander Guo, I want to talk to General Lu alone, I wonder if it's okay?"
