Chapter 89, Ambush

(Thanks to the book friend "jarmuechu" for the 100 starting coin reward, and thank you for liking this book. The story is still in progress. I will try my best to write the following stories!~)

Under the blue sky for thousands of miles, there is an endless grassland. The grass is blown low by the wind, but there are no cattle or sheep. There is only a mixed army of ten thousand people on foot and cavalry. Horse hooves and human feet trample through the grass, but they cannot defeat the tenacious life. It only takes a while to wait until this moment.

After an army passed by, they stood up again, so that the marching footprints were also covered in this ocean of grass.

The sun is shining brightly now. This is a rare sunny day in spring. It also makes everything seem to be full of vitality. However, this may not be good weather for the soldiers of this army.

To them at this time, the wind blowing across their cheeks seemed to be hot, not to mention that they were now wearing leather armor and being exposed to the sun. The leather armor was not too heavy, but it was very airtight.

In addition, he was on the march at the moment. After walking for so long, the iron man should be tired; and even the knights on horseback were actually on the march.

They spent time in constant bumps, not to mention that they did not have double stirrups, let alone a good saddle, and the buttocks and thighs were constantly rubbing against the horse's mane. The clothes on their bodies could not hinder this friction, and it was even worse under the sun.

The slight pain was infinitely magnified. I didn't feel any more comfortable than the infantry soldiers. Instead, I just felt uncomfortable all over my body.

The foreheads and backs of every soldier in the army were dripping with sweat. From time to time, they raised the backs of their hands to wipe away the beads of sweat dripping from the corners of their brows, which were almost blocking their sight. The horses were fine, but they seemed a little hard to cheer up.

At the front of the army, a middle-aged man wearing a soapy blue scribe's robe frowned. His eyes were gleaming, and his whole temperament was completely different. He was unique and conspicuous in this army. He looked around.

There was silence, but the frown deepened, and he couldn't help but said to the general on the horse in front: "General, this looks a bit strange..."

The general led the army across the border between Dingxiang and Wuyuan. At this moment, he was preparing to cross the border between Wuyuan and Xihe counties. It was Yuan Shao's general Han Meng who entered Xihe County. He was no different from those ordinary soldiers at this time.

, his face and body were covered with sweat. The only good thing was that his riding skills were better, which reduced the pain caused by friction.

Han Meng was in his prime. It was also the time when a military commander was at his peak. Warriors are always a little arrogant, especially for the kind of literati who only have lip service but no ability to restrain chickens. It is inevitable that they will be a little contemptuous. However, he has been in the army for five or six years. Despite his rough appearance,

His face has not changed, and his face has become rougher due to the wind and frost due to staying here in Saibei recently, but he is no longer a dull boy, but he still has some delicate feelings in his heart. Regarding this article

Although the soldier did not appear too respectful, he was not indifferent, so when he heard his words, he laughed loudly and said: "I am too cautious when meeting the governor. We have arranged scouts along the way and found nothing wrong.

It's a quiet place, but it's not like the governor didn't know it. This place has always been sparsely populated, and the Huns are causing trouble, so it's normal that we didn't find anything."

He knew that despite his thin appearance, this scribe was highly valued by Yuan Shao. You must know that when Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, except for some generals arranged for him by Yuan Huai, the only ones he had with him were Xu You and these

Two scribes. Although they themselves

He was ordered by Yuan Shao to serve as the commander-in-chief of this army, and the other party was only a governor in name, but the word "supervisor" was not simple. This meant that he now represented Yuan Shao in this army - Yuan Shao asked him

If so, can he not answer?

Naturally, Yuan Shao could not completely trust a general like Han Meng who was stationed abroad, and this time he was also worried that he would not be able to support the mission he had assigned, so he specially sent this scribe to supervise the army.

The scribe's name is Feng Ji. Zi Yuantu. He is a more important counselor under Yuan Shao. Some good people say that Yuan Shao now has four great counselors, namely Tian Feng, Xu You, Feng Ji and Chen Lin. Among them are Tian Feng, Xu You, Feng Ji and Chen Lin.

Tian Feng came to seek refuge after Yuan Shao entered Hebei, and the other three

Everyone has been connected with Yuan Shao for a long time. For example, Xu You has what is commonly known as a small relationship with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. Chen Lin has been hanging out with Yuan Shao and others since he was planning the ten permanent servants for General He Jin.

, Fengji also fell in love with Yuan Shao when he was still in Luoyang.

Since Feng Ji can be rated as one of the four great counselors, he will naturally not be without real talent and learning. In fact, in terms of strategic planning ability, he is second only to Tian Feng among the so-called four great counselors. After all, Xu You may have some resourcefulness.

However, he is a born weak person because he is not good at looking at the overall situation. Chen Lin's good writing does not mean that he has a high IQ. It just means that he is favored by Yuan Shao, and I am afraid not many people will object to saying that he is just making up the numbers.

In Yuan Shao's plans for Hebei in the past, Feng Jizeng and Tian Feng made many suggestions, which contributed greatly to Yuan Shao's current good situation. This was especially obvious in several battles with Han Fu. It was almost the two of them and Han Fu.

The duel between Jushou, Shenpei, Guo Tu and Xin Ping is of course different from the fact that both of them are planning for Yuan Shao. Han Fu's four advisers each have their own unique characteristics.

Yixin, Jushu and Shenpei can still be said to be loyal, but Guo Tu, Xin Ping and another Xun family member of Yingchuan, who is not showy and unrevealing, contact Yuan Shaofang behind Han Fu's back. Otherwise, even if Yuan Shao's troops are strong,

He was strong, his reputation was growing, and his reputation as the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes attracted all parties to vote for him. It was difficult for him to gain such an overwhelming advantage over Han Fu who had established a foothold in Jizhou and had the help of advisers like Ju Shu.

Feng Ji successively made suggestions to break the natural alliance between Han Fu and Gongsun Zan, provoking conflicts between the two, and Yuan Shaocai was waiting to reap the benefits, but now all this has nothing to do with him, because he came here to bully the evil king.

:Pavilion Master, please favor me.

However, Feng Ji was not dissatisfied with Yuan Shao for letting him come here at this critical moment. He knew that this was because Xu You had slandered Yuan Shao, saying that if he stayed in Jizhou any longer, he might be the master of earthquakes.

, so that Yuan Shao was on guard against him, so he simply sent him here - in fact, it was almost the same as dispatching him; he also knew very well that Xu

The reason why You did this was just because he supported the eldest son Yuan Tan, and he supported the third son Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao was undecided in Hebei, but in fact the two sons had a tendency to compete for power, and there was a conflict between people who supported different princes.

Naturally, fights are inevitable, but perhaps only Tian Feng can stay out of it, because his style often irritates Yuan Shao, and even the two young masters cannot stand it.

Although it was almost like being assigned, Feng Ji did not give up on himself because of this. He could see that although Yuan Shao followed Xu You's suggestion and assigned him, he still did not lose his trust in him. Bingzhou was also very important. If he could

Take the opportunity to help Yuan Shao win, then you can immediately form a half-pack against Dong Zhuo

This can contain Dong Zhuo and allow Yuan Shao to be free to calmly solve the Hebei problem. After all, even if the conflict between Han Fu and Gongsun Zan intensifies and there will be a war soon, Yuan Shao still wants to sit back and reap the benefits.

It is necessary to pay attention to the threats from Dong Zhuo of Luoyang, Xu Rong of Yanzhou, Li Que and Guo Si of Yuzhou.

Therefore, Feng Ji was naturally very concerned about sending troops this time. When he heard what Han Meng said, he just said lightly: "Ji means to be careful in everything. This is what the lord ordered when I came."

What the general just said is indeed reasonable, but although it is not surprising that there is no Han Chinese nearby, there are not even Huns.

This is a bit unreasonable. I think General Ji has been in Bingzhou for a long time, and he should be familiar with the Southern Xiongnu. If Ji remembers correctly, their residences have always been very scattered. There will be tribal residents around Shan Yuting, but we have already

After entering Xihe County for several miles, I didn’t find even a trace of human beings along the way. Isn’t this strange?”

"Uh..." Han Meng thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "The Huns army has been expelled by Lu Bu, how can these Huns people continue to stay here?"

Feng Ji shook his head, pointed to a mark next to him and said: "I just observed it. If these Xiongnu people fled because of the defeat of the army, then they should be panicked, but these marks show that they were evacuating here.

When we get along, we are in an orderly manner, how can we explain this?"

How do I explain it? How do I know how to explain it? You know how to explain it yourself!

Han Meng couldn't help but secretly curse when he heard it, but he had to say that Feng Ji was indeed right. He was somewhat convinced by him. No matter what the reason was, this matter was indeed strange. He quickly ordered Wan Jun to stop marching first, and then

After taking a break, he immediately sent someone to summon the scouts who had been sent out.

When all the scouts arrived, Han Meng asked, "Have you discovered anything while you were here just now?"

After several people looked at each other in confusion, it took a long time before the leader finally said bravely: "General, I didn't find anything unusual along the way, but..."

"Huh?" Han Meng frowned, "But what?"

"But..." the scout leader gritted his teeth and said, "According to common sense, this place belongs to the scouts, but we have not found an enemy scout so far, which is a bit unreasonable."

Han Meng couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. It turned out to be just a guess, so what else could he say?

If he said this, it was clearly unfounded worries. The lack of scouts meant that the opponent's strength was severely damaged after the battle with the Xiongnu, and now they had no time to worry about it. This was a good opportunity for them. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited.

As for what Feng Ji is worried about, he can guess it. Isn't it because he is afraid of being ambushed by the other party?

But there are flat grasslands around here, and Han Meng is not worried that the opponent will take advantage of the terrain to set up an ambush, because there is no suitable place for an ambush here. What can be covered with grass that is no longer than calf length?

Ordinarily, Han Meng is right to think so, but he has never thought that sometimes ambush does not necessarily have to rely on terrain. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your
