Chapter 139 Instigation

Thousands of barbarian soldiers were marching cautiously on a winding mountain road. There was also a tall barbarian general in front of the army. He was standing on a high mountain rock nearby and commanding the army to advance.

If the envoy of the Guli tribe appears here again, then this time he will definitely recognize that the barbarian general is E Huan himself.

It turned out that last time the envoy happened to meet E Huan personally leading his bodyguard to explore the road, and there were a large number of barbarian soldiers behind him that he had not seen yet. If not,

I'm afraid that E Huan's identity will be more convincing at that time.

After Gaoding decided to unite the army to attack Anshang, he made a plan with E Huan. On the surface, E Huanming would stay in Qiongdu as the main general, but in fact, he would lead an army of 3,000 people to sneak into Hanjia County and Hanjia County by pretending to be ill.

In the mountains and forests at the junction of Yuexi County, we walked around the mountain path to the north of Anshang City, preparing to attack the city in one fell swoop.

Gao Ding led the main force to march from Qiongdu Avenue to Anshang with great fanfare to attract Yang Qing's attention and the main force of the army.

Sure enough, the main force of the army was transferred to Dingjia Village to meet the enemy, and An Shangcheng now had only a few soldiers.

Emptyness is hard to guard against.

As for Yang Qing, he sent Feng Chong to lead the cavalry to slow down Gaoding's marching speed. Although this made Gaoding feel quite uncomfortable, on the other hand Gaoding also took the opportunity to slow down his marching speed to wait for E Huan.

The two parts reach the designated position so that the two can echo each other.

E Huan stood on a high place and thought over the strategy of himself and his king again in his mind. He bent down and looked at the military columns at his feet. He clenched his fists secretly, thinking that this time he would lead his troops through mountains and rivers and take a long detour.

Give Yang Qing a surprise and let the Han people know how powerful he is.

"General, our army has been marching rapidly for more than two hours. Can you please stop and rest for a while?" A deputy general walked up to E Huan and bowed.

E Huan thought to himself that what this man said was true. Although his son was good at crossing mountains and ridges, he would still be tired after marching on steep mountain roads for a long time. Estimating the time, he would probably be able to enter Anshang territory in the future, so

There is no need to rush.

"Forget it, send an order to the troops,

Stop moving forward and rest on the spot." E Huan finished thinking and nodded.

"Just right here." A Han army leader looked at the barbarian camp on the other side of the jungle and raised his right hand to signal the soldiers to stop.

The distance here is just right, enough for our archers to shoot the tablets into the camp opposite. After all, if we go any further, we will be discovered by the barbarian sentinels.

The team leader looked up at the sky. The sun had not come out yet, and there was only a faint ray of morning light on the horizon. This is when people are most sleepy and relaxed.

After looking around, he saw that all his brothers had bows and arrows drawn and were ready. The leader of the team did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Let go."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, dozens of sharp arrows were shot at the barbarian camp on the opposite side. The sentry on the sentry tower heard the sound of bursting through the air, and couldn't help but subconsciously rub his sleepy eyes.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The sentry opened his eyes wide and saw clearly that dozens of arrows were being fired towards him. It was because of his quick reaction that he turned his head to avoid the sharp arrows coming from his face.

As soon as he escaped with his life, he quickly blew the warning horn.

Seeing the Han army attacking the camp,

When the barbarian guard was on duty, he not only reported the news to the Chinese army camp, but also mobilized the archers and crossbowmen of the front camp to shoot at the incoming enemy.

It's just that the crossbowmen of their own have not yet been assembled. The officers and soldiers in the forest on the opposite side made no sound after shooting three rounds of arrows. Listening to the faint whistling sound coming from them, they seemed to have retreated.

The guarding Yi general was a little confused for a moment, and was about to send someone out of the camp to investigate, but found that the soldiers around him were gathering in twos and threes to say something. Their voices were low, and their eyes were flickering, which was extremely strange.

The Yi general was about to call someone for questioning when he saw the Yi soldiers not far away picking up the arrows of the Han army on the ground, and then seemed to take off something at the tail of the arrow and peek at it secretly.

It was only then that he discovered that there was something tied to the arrows of the Han army. He picked up the nearest arrow, took off the bamboo slip at the end of the arrow, and opened it to see that it was the writing of his own tribe.

Fortunately, he also learned calligraphy from the elders of the clan when he was young, so he would not make a fool of himself in front of the soldiers.

In fact, even if he couldn't read, the officers and soldiers also thoughtfully prepared a painted version. On some other bamboo slips, there were pictures instead of words, ensuring that the illiterate Yi soldiers could understand it.

He opened the bamboo slip and unfolded it. He only read the first dozen words and knew that it was the Han people's words to persuade them to surrender. He subconsciously threw the bamboo slip away, but after a while he couldn't help but pick it up and continue to read.

Humph, it was for no other reason than to see how cunning the Han people were. The Yi general encouraged himself and continued reading.

Damn it, we shouldn’t worry about the hypocritical words of encouragement the Han people say, but in their letter of persuasion to surrender, the Han people said that even if they don’t surrender, once they are captured by the Han people, they will treat them with courtesy and put them back with good food and drink.

He also said that he hopes that the majority of Yi brothers will not listen to Gaoding's deception and resist the imperial court. As long as they sincerely oppose the imperial court, the government will give them land and money, and even if Gaoding is captured and killed, the government will reward him...

Seeing this, the barbarian general did not dare to look any further. Although he probably knew what the officers and soldiers meant behind it, his duty of self-restraint prevented him from looking any further.

"Quick, quick, order the troops not to open the Han people's letters without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

The barbarian general knew that this was a deception strategy of the Han people. If these bamboo slips were allowed to spread among the army, big trouble would occur, so he immediately ordered his personal guards to collect the bamboo slips.

When Gao Ding learned about it, he broke out in a cold sweat. He secretly thought of the evil tactics of the Han people, and immediately ordered the collection and destruction of these deceptive bamboo slips, and the army was not allowed to spread the contents of the discussion slips.

However, the word of guard against people is better than guarding against Sichuan. Although the Yi general and Gao Ding immediately gave the order, the content of the officers and soldiers' persuasion to surrender has spread among the Yi soldiers. For a time, the hearts of the Yi people in the camp were floating, and they were whispering to each other.

There were endless discussions about the matter.

He called people to come to discuss matters, but Huo Yuan was heard outside the tent asking for an audience.

"Come in." Gao Ding returned to the main seat and sat down in a dignified manner, shouting angrily.

As soon as Huo Yuan entered the tent, he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, please go out and have a look."

Gao Ding asked in confusion: "Why are you so alarmed?"

Huo Yuan sighed and said: "Well, I don't know what to say, the general. Your Majesty, go out and take a look and you will find out for yourself."

"Humph, forget it. I will go out and take a look. If nothing happens, I will punish you for lying about military information." Gao Ding stood up and said dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, I'm going to make Gao Ding suffer a lot this time." In the Han army's tent, Yang Xi stroked his chin and laughed.

Yang Qing sat in the main seat, put down the tea in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "We must increase our efforts in the future, we must make the Yi soldiers' morale fluctuate and make Gaoding's fellow jealous."

Liu Yin, who was at the lower right, cupped his hands and said: "The master's plan is very clever. First he sends out a big letter to persuade us to surrender, and then he releases the prisoners. In this way, the barbarians will be shocked and confused. Not to mention surrendering to our army, but at least they will surrender."

You will not use any force to the death when fighting our army in the future."

"I hope so. This is just a corner tactic. If you want to defeat the enemy, you have to find a good strategy." Yang Qing said softly.

The battle situation during the two days was still balanced, and both sides used repeated tactics but failed to break the deadlock. However, the Han army was still holding on to one side after all, and the Yi soldiers returned in vain after several attacks.

If there was no hidden danger like E Huan, Yang Qing was really willing to go on like this. However, the unknown enemy was in the dark and he couldn't help but stick here wantonly. Therefore, he came up with this strategy of bewitching and alienating the Yi soldiers, thinking of letting him go first.

Let's talk about the enemy's morale in front of him.
