Han Dao world

"Give me a seat, are you injured?" Liu Xie took his seat and asked softly.

"Flesh wounds are fine," Lu Bu said.

Liu Xie looked at Huang Yi again.Huang Yi also bowed and said, "This is a minor injury, but nothing serious. Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

"I know the bravery of Marquis Wen. I am somewhat surprised that you, a child of a family and a scholar, can endure such hardship." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "This is better than the tactics of wolf cavalry." Verification is even more gratifying. Gentle and polite, then a gentleman, as it should be.”

Huang Yi was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment, he just felt that all the suffering was worth it.He barely controlled his mood, and said: "It's all thanks to the love of Marquis Wen and all the officers and men. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

Liu Xie smiled and looked at Yuan Quan again. "Mrs. Yuan, if Yuan Shao can have Zimei's blood spirit, you girls of the Yuan family may not have to go out to get married."

Yuan Quan was stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he regained his composure. "There are weeds in good fields, it's because the farmers are not diligent. If there is unfilial piety in the family, it's because the family style is not prosperous. If there are courtiers in the country, it's because the master doesn't notice. Huang Yi is originally a stubborn stone. He who can cut it into glaze, fortunately, it's all thanks to your majesty." Great hand."

Liu Xie heard something wrong, thought about it, and couldn't help laughing.

"That's right, Yuan Shao did such absurd things because of his father's death in his early years, and because of the court's ignorance. The Yuan family was harmed by Dong Zhuo, and the only ones who can teach him now are me and An Guoxianghou ( Yuan Shu). If your younger brother can be like Huang Yi and Yang Xiu, then the glory of the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family may continue."

Yuan Quan's eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty's destiny lies in the law. Who dares to disobey?"

Chapter 508 listen to you

Liu Xie chatted with Lu Bu and Huang Yi for a while, and then asked them to take a bath and change clothes.After many days of hard fighting, their armor and battle robes were already dirty and torn, their hair was greasy and knotted, and although their faces had been washed, there was still blood on their temples and between their nails.

Like other wolf riders, they need a hot bath.

It's just that there is no need for officials and servants to serve.

After leaving the imperial tent, the two returned to the camp with their wives.

Yuan Quan has been living with his sister Yuan Heng.Before going to pick up Huang Yi, Yuan Quan sent someone to notify Yuan Heng to prepare hot water and new clothes.When Huang Yi arrived, he went into the bath directly.

Yuan Quan personally untied Huang Yi's scarred battle armor.Looking at the knife marks and arrow holes on the battle armor, Yuan Quan subconsciously covered his mouth, not wanting to believe that Huang Yi had suffered so many attacks.It is a very lucky thing to be able to come back alive.

"It's okay, the Xianbei's weapons are not as sharp as our Han people's, and even if they can pierce armor, they won't be fatal." Huang Yi said pretending to be relaxed, ignoring the several shields he had used.

Those shields were all shattered in front of the Xianbei's crazy attack.

Yuan Quan didn't say anything, and took off Huang Yi's battle robe that was no longer visible, threw it out of the tent, and ordered someone to burn it with fire.It was not washed or changed for two months, and there were not only blood stains and dirt on the shirt, but also fleas and lice, which made people's scalp numb.

What was more shocking than the shirt was the bruises on Huang Yi's body, and some places had even turned black.

"In the past few months... how did you come here?" Yuan Quan couldn't believe it.

Huang Yi didn't speak, stepped into the bath, and buried his whole body in the hot water.

Yuan Quan didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the bath beans and rubbed them slowly in his palms. Tears welled up along his face, one by one, dripping into the hot water and onto Huang Yi's floating hair.

After a while, Huang Yi emerged from the water, stroked the hot water on his face, and let out a long breath.

"I'm alive again," he said softly.

Yuan Quan took Huang Yi's hair with hands covered in foam, and slowly scrubbed it. The dirt on the hair turned into muddy water and slowly melted away, with dark red blood stains faintly visible.Yuan Quan washed his hair three times before he could wash his hair clean. The bucket of water was already turbid.

Huang Yi raised his head and leaned against the edge of the bucket, only then did he see that Yuan Quan was already in tears.He froze for a moment, rubbed his hands in the water, then lifted up to wipe away the tears on Yuan Quan's face.

"Don't cry, you should be happy for me. Jade can't be cut, it can't be used. Iron can't be tempered, it can't be steel. A man will always be just a child if he doesn't go through all these hardships."

"En." Yuan Quan raised his arms, wiped his face, and showed a gratified smile. "Then you say, should I let Bo Yang (Yuan Yao) come too? Compared to you, he seems to be more like this."

Huang Yi thought about it. "Come on, even if you don't have to be like me, you can be like Xun Yun and Cao Ang. In terms of dignity, is there anyone more noble than the emperor in this world? Why can't we suffer what the emperor can suffer?"

"I'm afraid he won't even be able to bear that kind of suffering. He was raised with arrogance since he was a child, and he doesn't even have the rascal energy of me, Aweng."

"A year ago, do you think I can endure such hardship? If you don't try it, you will never know how great his potential is." Huang Yi laughed silently, and after a while, he said: "It's a foregone conclusion for the big man to rejuvenate, Ah My uncle is over forty years old, so I'm afraid he can change it again. But Boyang is still young and has the opportunity to make progress, so he can't just give up. Even if he is in politics with Dezu, it's better than wasting time with uncle."

"That's true." Yuan Quan nodded. "After His Majesty defeats Xianbei, I will write to ask him to come."

"Don't wait, Shouchun is too far away, you have to grab time, the sooner the better."

"You have so much confidence in the Son of Heaven?" Yuan Quan said, "There are so many Xianbei people, could it be..."

"The only difference is whether it can be wiped out." Huang Yi said, closing his eyes.

Yuan Quan looked at Huang Yi, and after a while, said softly: "Listen to you, I will write a letter right away."

-

After receiving the edict, Han Sui rushed to the imperial camp early to prepare for the celebration banquet of the triumphant return of the wolf cavalry.

The banquet was still being prepared, so he took the time to find Han Shaoying and dragged Han Shaoying aside. "Girl, tell me about wolf riding."

Han Shaoying glanced at Han Sui and grinned. "Hungry?"

Han Sui lowered his face, very unhappy.

Han Shaoying shook Han Sui's arm, and said in a coaxing tone, "Okay, once you're old, don't think about it. Ziyi, he can't bear that kind of hardship, so he can do it with peace of mind." General Anton, if you see the opportunity in the future, it will be no problem to make meritorious deeds and get promoted, and you can increase your income. The record of wolf cavalry is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Where's Yanming?" Han Sui was a little sour.

"Yanming can't do it either." Han Shaoying said: "And the emperor's expectation of him is not light cavalry like wolf cavalry."

"how do you know?"

"He said it himself." Han Shaoying was a little impatient. "Ask him yourself when you have time. I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to explain." Saying that, he pushed Han Sui away, turned and left.Just as Han Sui was about to get angry, she turned back.

"This battle, fight hard, don't hold back."

"What?" Han Sui was about to ask a few more questions, but Han Shaoying left in a hurry.Han Sui was very helpless, thinking of Han Shaoying's words, he suddenly felt uneasy.Is this what the daughter meant, or what Yan Xing meant?If this reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be a big disadvantage.

Just as Han Sui was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"General Zhenxi?" Liu Xie looked at Han Sui in puzzlement. "You are..."

Han Sui quickly showed a smile. "I came a little earlier and didn't dare to disturb His Majesty, so I'm here to take a look."

Liu Xie took a look at Han Sui and laughed dumbfoundedly. "Since you're here, come here, I happen to have something to ask."

"How dare, how dare." Han Sui said while speeding up his pace to keep up with Liu Xie.

When the two returned to the imperial tent, Liu Xie waved his hand to signal Cai Yan and others to leave, and signaled Han Sui to sit down. "There is milk tea in the pot, pour it yourself, you're welcome. But I advise you to drink less, or you won't be able to eat later."

Han Sui smiled and said, "Did you come here because of your appetite?" He picked up the pot and poured himself a cup of tea. "I want to come here so much because I want to see the style of the wolf rider. This peerless sword forged by His Majesty is really sharp, and it will kill half of Xianbei's life as soon as it is struck."

"But the Xianbei people still have half their lives." Liu Xie looked at Han Sui with a smile. "As Xun Gongda said, loud nonsense can disturb people's dreams."

Han Sui hesitated for a moment, and was thinking of how to say it more tactfully, when he suddenly remembered what Han Shaoying said just now, and his heart suddenly moved.

Xun You defeated the central Xianbei in the first battle and boosted the morale of the Kanto people. Zhang Xi and others are planning to let Xun You serve as the guard of Youyan.Lu Bu ran rampant on the grassland, and the people of Bingzhou gained confidence from then on.On the contrary, the most powerful Liangzhou native has no comparable impressive record so far.

His credit for pacifying Song Jian was more like a joke, being ridiculed by the emperor face to face.

Now that this opportunity is presented to him, how can he let it go?

Han Sui put down the teacup in his hand and bowed his hands in salute. "Although I am dull, I am willing to take the remaining half of Xianbei's life for His Majesty."

Chapter 509

Liu Xie looked at Han Sui and smiled secretly.

Seeing the old fox walking outside, he knew he couldn't hold his breath.

It's just that with Han Sui's temperament, the invitation to fight may be just a test, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he will really go all out.If the heat is not enough, you can't rush to lift the thread, otherwise there is a possibility of decoupling.

"It's not in a hurry." Liu Xie raised his hand and pressed it down lightly, the cloud was calm and the wind was light. "I just want to ask General Zhenxi how to fight so that we can completely annihilate the invading Xianbei people. Baoliang Prefecture has been peaceful for ten years. Although the wolf cavalry has returned, it is still not possible for the imperial court to send troops to the grassland. The Xianbei people came on their own initiative It's a rare opportunity."

Obedient and listening, Han Sui understood Liu Xie's worry as soon as he heard it.

This is not trusting my strength, afraid that I will waste this opportunity.

But he also had to admit that Liu Xie's worries were justified.It is a very rare opportunity to wait for work with ease, instead of laboring on an expedition.If the invading Xianbei could not be severely injured or even wiped out, and let them escape into the depths of the grassland, and harass them every year in the future, then Liangzhou would not be stable.

Liangzhou is uneasy, how can it send troops eastward?

It is not easy to injure or even wipe out the Xianbei people.

One is that the Xianbei have a lot of troops, and the Han army has no obvious advantage; the other is that this place is outside the Great Wall, except for the desert, there are no mountains or dangerous fortresses.It is unrealistic to think that it is the same as surrounding Fu Luohan last time. It is necessary to rely on frontal blocking and pursuit to expand the results, and the difficulty is not the same.

Obviously, if he can't come up with a plan that satisfies the emperor, the emperor will not entrust him with this task at all.He, the general of Zhenxi, can only obey the emperor's command like everyone else.

For a moment, Han Sui thought a lot.

He wants to take on this task, but he knows that this task is very risky.If you are not careful, you may lose more than you gain.

After hesitating for a long time, Han Sui said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I believe that this battle is of great importance, and we should discuss it with the generals, and gather the intelligence of the monarch and ministers to achieve a great event together."

"What General Zhenxi said is true, and I think so too." Liu Xie echoed. "All the generals are either young or lacking in strategy. Only General Zhenxi and Jia Shizhong are resourceful and can be good assistants."

Seeing Liu Xie comparing himself with Jia Xu, but not mentioning Ma Teng, Han Sui was pleased, but still said a few words of humility.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had a basic combat strategy, and proposed a plan to block the attack at every stage, to fight with heavy cavalry, and to pursue with light enemy soldiers.The heavy cavalry he was talking about was not nail cavalry, but assault cavalry with two armors and capable of assaulting with spears.

Assault cavalry is the advantage of the Han army.The Xianbei also had assault cavalry, but their numbers and equipment were far inferior to those of the Han army.The two armies fought head-on, with assault cavalry attacking each other and fighting at close range, the Han army had a clear chance of winning.Coupled with the cover of a strong bow and crossbow, it is not difficult for the infantry with shields to block the attack of the Xianbei.

This is how the Xiliang people have always dealt with the Qiang people. The Xianbei people and the Qiang people have similar tactics, so there should be no problem.

Liu Xie was noncommittal.

Han Sui's tactics cannot be said to be wrong, and it can even be said that this is a tactics that has been proven to be feasible in practice.In the Battle of Jieqiao, Qu Yi fought against Gongsun Zan in this way, and became famous in the first battle.

But not good enough, at least not up to his expectations.

This may be because Han Sui was not fully prepared, and in a hurry, he could only come up with such a plan.It may also be that Han Sui was just probing, expressing his loyalty verbally, and did not intend to really face the Xianbei people.

"anything else?"

"And..." Han Sui heard Liu Xie's dissatisfaction, and his expression was a little embarrassed.He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is stupid, please give me some advice?"

"Although General Zhenxi's men are brave, they are not as numerous as the Xianbei. If we fight head-on, we will suffer heavy casualties." Liu Xie smiled wryly. "The imperial court can't bear such a big loss, nor can it pay so much compensation. This battle must not only win a big victory, but also minimize casualties as much as possible. General Zhenxi, do you understand what I mean?"

Han Sui nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty cherishes the soldiers, and I deeply agree. I beg Your Majesty to give you some time to plan carefully before presenting a plan to defeat the enemy to Your Majesty."

"Okay, this is the experienced minister I expect." Liu Xie smiled gratifiedly. "It's just that the Xianbei people will arrive at any time, and I hope General Zhenxi hurry up. Look, tomorrow morning, can you?"

Han Sui's forehead was covered with sweat, but he dared not refuse. "As Your Majesty wishes."

Liu Xie nodded, picked up a document, and signaled that Han Sui could resign.

Han Sui understood, got up and left.When he got out of the imperial tent, the biting cold wind blew, and he shivered. Thinking of his performance just now, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.He looked around, left the imperial tent, and went to find Yan Xing.

At this moment, apart from Cheng Gongying, the only one who can help him is his son-in-law Yan Xing.

Yan Xing was changing clothes in the tent, preparing for the evening banquet.Seeing Han Sui coming, he was very surprised, and quickly ordered someone to prepare tea, and invited Han Sui to take a seat.

Han Sui sat down, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.In the Tianzi's tent just now, although he poured a cup of milk tea, he didn't have time to drink it, he just focused on answering the emperor's question.After leaving the tent, I realized that my throat was so dry that it was about to smoke.

"Yanming, the Xianbei people are coming, have you ever thought about how to deal with the enemy?" Han Sui asked calmly.

"Scattered riders are the emperor's close servants. Apart from going into battle with the emperor, what else can they do to deal with the enemy?"

"Yanming, that's not what you said." Han Sui put on the posture of an elder and persuaded: "You can't be the right governor of Sanqi forever, you will always be like Meng Qi in the future. Don't you show that you are the only one How can the Son of Heaven let you lead the army with confidence? Young man, be more careful."

Yan Xing lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, Han Shaoying hurried over, seeing Han Sui sitting here, Yan Xing bowed his head, she understood.

Although Han Sui and Yan Xing are sons-in-law, their relationship is not good.When Han Sui married her to Yan Xing, there was a sense of coercion. Yan Xing has always been worried about this, and he is unwilling to take the initiative to get close to Han Sui.Now Yan Xing has become a close minister of the emperor, and even more respects Han Sui and keeps him at a distance.

Han Sui also knew what Yan Xing was thinking, and rarely contacted Yan Xing.This is the first time that he took the initiative to come to Yan Xing's camp.

When she heard that Han Sui was called by the emperor in the imperial camp, she was a little worried about Han Sui and kept following Han Sui's movements.Knowing that Han Sui had left the imperial tent and came to Yan Xing's big tent, she was afraid that they would have a conflict, so she hurriedly told others what she was doing and rushed back to have a look.

"Ah Weng, have you met the Son of Heaven?" Han Shaoying sat down beside Yan Xing and arched Yan Xing's arm.

Han Sui nodded and glanced at Han Shaoying. "The Son of Heaven intends to entrust this battle to me. The banquet hasn't started yet, and I have nothing to do, so I went to Yanming's camp to take a look and listen to Yanming's opinion by the way."

"This is a good thing." Han Shaoying said exaggeratedly: "This is a great opportunity for the people of Liangzhou. Mr. Jia advises, Yan Ming protects the emperor, Meng Qi takes the lead to meet the enemy, and A Weng presides over the battle. If it succeeds, everyone in Liangzhou meritorious service."

Yan Xing turned his head to look at Han Shaoying, and Han Shaoying's eyes showed a hint of pleading, and he said in a voice almost whispering: "Husband, just help him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Yan Xing smacked his lips and nodded reluctantly. "Awon, do you know what is the biggest special feature of this battle?"

"What is it?" Han Sui pondered.

"It's the Son of Heaven."

Chapter 510

Han Sui couldn't help laughing. "What about the Son of Heaven? The Xianbei people will not listen to his edict and surrender voluntarily."

Yan Xing was a little speechless. "It is true that the Xianbei people will not listen to the emperor's edict, but the Xianbei people definitely want to take the emperor's life. The emperor is here, and the Xianbei people will not give up easily. As long as there is a slight possibility of victory, they will go all out."

Han Sui froze for a moment, as if waking up from a dream.
