Chapter 40:

Three thousand people in Wuqu and two patrols died, which is really not a big deal. The remaining two patrols reported to their superiors, saying that two people were missing. The superior left to think left and right to think, but the corpse was not seen. It is estimated that he didn't want to fight and was a deserter. Although some of them can't be justified, their soldiers in Wuqu are very combative, but otherwise, I really don't know what to think is reasonable.
The patrol on the other side of the right battalion also reported the incident. The corpse left on the grassland was found as Jiang Ye also expected. The patrol thought that the man might have been too ruthless and killed the person on the spot, but they did not catch anyone after all ... the four people left the post to catch people, or to invite merit, then they dare not keep up with their superiors Seeing that the two men belonged to other battalions, they didn't feel that there was any fraud, and the patrol leader decided that this matter would not be followed.
On the second day and night, according to Xue Ziqin's plan, Zhou Xiao and Guo Linchong each led a team. He personally led a team of 100 people each. Taking advantage of the night, he bypassed the Wuqu camp and went to the left An ambush was held at the right camp, and only when the people arranged in front of the drum beat the three patrols, they were dispatched together. In order to prevent Wuqu people from discovering, they bypassed a large circle, and it took only one and a half hours to stand alone.
The mission of the Houying camp was the most critical. According to what Jiang also heard, the grain and grass were lying in the Houying camp, so Xue Ziqin and Jiang also ambushed in the direction of the Houying camp. As soon as the agreed signal came out, a hundred people rushed in.
That night, Wuqu Daying was not quiet.
Songs and dances were held in the middle camp to welcome the arrival of General Sui Guo. At this moment, General Sui Guo was sitting on the table and drinking goat milk with King Wuqu.
King Wuqu didn't wait to see this general of the Sui Kingdom very much, but there was no way. People were so good, they made suggestions and cooperated with them. Whatever, when they came to this grassland in Wuqu, the friendship of the landlords was always one. Endless. In front of it, a bonfire was burning, and the witches dressed in Wuqu traditional costumes sang and danced hard, but the King of Wuqu was interested, but he looked at the general from time to time, but he was worried about the end of the war. Sui Guo's attitude.
"Qin Guan has been fighting so hard for a long time, and Xuan Guo has not made any big move. Sui Guo is not worried?" He asked tentatively.
The general nodded slightly, smiled, turned his head, and said respectfully, "Wuqu has been thinking too much. I heard that Xuanguo had sent troops to support Qinguan, but before coming, Wuqu soldiers must have put Qinguan in his pocket. Okay. "
Listening to his words, and seeing his respectful attitude again, King Wuqu was a little satisfied in his heart and nodded: "That's natural."
Although everyone doesn't wear it, they all know it. Why did the King of Wuqu not attack with all his strength, that is, he didn't have enough trust in Sui Guo. Imagine that if he exhausted the whole family, he could capture the Qinguan immediately, but if the Xuanguo reinforcements arrived, the soldier who died in Wuqu first would be unwilling. Wuqu is not as big as Xuansui and it has a large population. Five thousand soldiers and horses are already all the soldiers of his family except the old, weak women and children. Such a thing as a two-party alliance, in the final analysis, is a combination of benefits, then it can naturally be dispersed for benefits. Sui Guo's idea, but the conditions given by Sui Guo are very simple, that is, after occupying the Qin Pass, Qin Guan, as long as Wuqu eats, Sui Guo will never ask.
This matter is also reasonable. He Wuwu people desperately fight to fight, it is naturally to him.
At first, he was not very willing, and he didn't know what tricks the Sui Kingdom had used. Even the general Wei Yuanting resisted pretendingly, but actually let people in. In addition to the large number of instruments and grains sent by Sui Guo, the King of Wuqu wanted nothing but to accept the plan of union.
It was another general under King Wuqu who had a plan in his mind. Zhangkou asked: "I heard that the Hanzhou City is still in the hands of Xuanguo."
General Sui Guo shook his head: "They thought it was in their hands." Then he said to the King of Wuqu, "The King of Wuqu rest assured that my Sui Guo sincerely befriended the nobility. This action has been a clear victory, only After a good time, we can cut off a large piece of meat in Xuanguo, and then it will naturally be shared between Wuqu and Suiguo. "
Fart, sincerely make good friends, don't move your two thousand people? King Wuqu scolded in his heart, but he was still very kind on the face, and asked again: "If it is my remaining two thousand soldiers, what can I do if I can't eat it?"
General Sui Guowen said with a smile: "Wuqu King is clearly joking. The bravery of Wuqu warriors is well-known, as long as the king of Wuqu has the heart, it must be in hand." The meaning inside is very clear. Your garrison still There are two thousand people who try their best to fight, and it will definitely be able to fight down. We have opened the back door for you, do n’t pretend to be here.
This is a good level, which means that everyone understands it and can't take it apart.
General Wuqu heard this and inserted a sentence: "General General is praised, but I don't know the General's two thousand horses. Do you plan to fight for reinforcements?"
King Wuqu glanced at his general with admiration. This is really a good question to ask. It is not a loss that he has always been a good general. This means: we really can't win, just wait for your support. He turned his face and added a sentence to General Sui: "The rest of my camp is old and weak, and Sui Guo also knows that my Wuqu is a nomadic nation, which is no big cause for Sui. Since the alliance, the general Be sincere. "
The meaning between the lines is clear. I'm empty. You either go together or won't win if we don't win.
Who knows that General Naho is also a shameless man, and when he heard the word "sincerity," he began to talk about him. "What do you say about the king of Wuqu? I haven't arrived since the ear of the soldiers, and the grain and grass have already been hands. Sincerely, is this not sincere enough? "
King Wuqu was a bit impatient, but asked clearly: "Then you mean, the two thousand horses of Sui Kingdom, don't plan to move?"
General Suiguo shook his head and replied with a smile: "The King Wuqu is really worried. Now that the winning ticket is in hand, he doesn't need to move. If the Xuanguo's reinforcements come faster than we expected, then the Suiguo soldiers will definitely spare no effort. Support friendly forces. "
The dialogue between the peace and the peace has been secretly carried out. The dancers beside the campfire are still trying their best to jump, and a sudden drumbeat sounds outside the camp.
This sound put all
Someone's attention is attracted. The dancers panicked, stopped, and knelt on the ground to wait for arrangements. When King Wuqu heard the sound, he stood up and looked at the source of the sound. Unfortunately, he only heard the sound, but no one else. With a big wave of his hand, the dancer hurriedly retreated, and then grabbed the long knife in several cases and held it in his hand.
"Xuanguo's reinforcements are here?" He wondered.
General Wuqu shook his head immediately: "It's impossible. If reinforcements arrive, how can we not pass Qinguan? We can't receive any news. Unless coming from Yuzhou."
General Sui Guo was also nervous at this time: "It is impossible, Yuzhou will never intervene."
Regardless of where he came from, he was so sure that King Wuqu listened to the loud drumbeat, and I was afraid that there would be many people. The inspection of the Qianying had already arrived at Zhongying, and at this time rushed to the King of Wuqu: "Great King! Not good! A large number of people from Qinguan direction rushed towards us! Listen to the news, there are more than a thousand people!"
King Wuqu was puzzled, and he couldn't say what was wrong. The leader took the lead to go out: "Let me see."
The Wuqu King strode out to the front camp with people, and he could already see the enemy's soldiers and horses, riding horses, holding torches, and the drums of war were moving towards them with shock.
The movements are so great, I am afraid that the number of people and horses is more than predicted.
General Sui Guo also frowned: "How come Xuan Guo has so many soldiers and horses that can bypass Qinguan and come to support it."
Originally, he had received information that the general who occupied Hanzhou, Xue Ziqin, led people to support the battle of Qinguan. They must not dare to cross the border, and could only go directly to Qinguan through Yanzhou. But the number is only five hundred. How could there be a thousand more people now, still beating head-on in such a mighty way?
When the two armies are engaged, intelligence is the most important. If Xue Ziqin was about to come back and attack Daying directly, it must have been inquired clearly. The remaining number of Daying would think so. If there were no more than two thousand people, they would not dare to attack.
He was afraid that he had missed something. He carefully told the King of Wuqu: "I am afraid that there is fraud in this matter. It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a large number of people to appear out of thin air."
Wuqu King smiled: "On this grassland, even if there are three thousand people, it will not be the opponent of my Wuqu warrior, not afraid."
The reason why he is so confident is only because the opponent is a cavalry. I would like to ask Xuan Sui, which country dares to say that its cavalry combat capability is stronger than his Wuqu? They are tribes who grew up on horseback.
King Wuqu ’s self-confidence will be understood by General Sui Guo, but this matter is too strange. He has always been known as a fortune-telling, because he has no omissions, and all aspects are under his control, so he can only be reused by Sui Guo.
Now that things have changed, he can only deal with it in the safest way. After thinking about it, General Sui Guo said to the King of Wuqu, "Do n’t King Wuqu ask me when will the two thousand horses move? Since someone Bypassing Qinguan, and wanting to fight you, we naturally want to help. "
"Ok?"
"Also please King Wuqu, wait and see first, I will return to the camp and bring people here. Don't be impulsive." He said, adding another command. King Wuqu nodded, he went straight to the stable, and hurried back to Sui. There must be something wrong with him. He must figure it out and send someone to come quickly. The Wuqu camp should not cause problems, which will lead to all losses.
From Wuqu Daying, bringing people over, it would take two days to say less, blaming him for being confident at the time, and stationing the men and women at the border of the Sui Kingdom. However, as long as Xue Changfeng's Northern Army came before it and fixed the rear here, there would be no worries.
According to his spies inserted in Xuan's homeland, Xue Changfeng needed three days to reach Qinguan, which is why he was not in a hurry. As long as Qin Guan's team is working hard, it will be won without suspense, so there is nothing wrong with sending troops now.
King Wuqu saw that this man was gone, but he felt a lot easier in his heart. Although it is a cooperation, the other party has always despised them as a big country, and has been using them in various ways. How can he get it?
At this time, the opponent's horse gradually approached, and General Wuqu asked, "What now?"
The King Wuqu thought for a while and said, "The former camp and the middle camp, a thousand people, come with me to meet these desperate things!"
"Yes!"
King Wuqu led his soldiers on horseback. Although there was no war drums to accompany, the sound of horseshoes also resounded through the night sky.
Seeing approaching, the King of Wuqu shouted: "Which soldier is in front of you, want to compete with me on Wuqu horseback?"
The sarcasm in the discourse was obvious, but the other party did not say anything. The sound of the war drum was still ringing, but he didn't move on anymore. King Wuqu saw this scene, he laughed and asked, "Is it possible to dare Drum, dare not step forward? "
There is still some distance between the two sides. When the king of Wuqu made this remark, the other side began to retreat, only to see the front row of horses, turned the horse head, and withdrew straight away. The sound of the drum of war was retreating, which was really funny.
Wuqu King turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "This group of bastards! Haha!"
The soldiers laughed.
But General Wuqu was a little flustered and asked, "Can we catch up?"
King Wuqu is not a brainless person, he thought for a while: "I don't know how many people are on the other side. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to pursue him. Return to the camp."
"Yes." Hearing this, General Wuqu felt relieved. How could they know that King Wuqu was fierce but suspicious, and they would not chase after all, as expected by Xue Ziqin.
It did n’t take long for the sound of the war drums to stop completely, and for a while to return to quiet above the grassland, only the sound of the horseshoes of the Wuqu fighters.
