Chapter 9 Defrauding the Enemy
After looking at each other for a long time, everyone said, "Since we have chosen Hetun General, we naturally obey the general order. But I don't know if Hetun General's battle is due to his anger?"
He Bai smiled and said, "What's the reason for being angry or not? My life is my own. How can I joke about my life? Since everyone chooses to believe in me and follow me, at least they must have confidence in me."
Only then did everyone regain their courage and eat the food before the battle in the camp. After He Bai came to ancient times, he realized that because of his low productivity, he could only be allowed to eat two meals a day, including morning and night. The work and rest time of the ancients was very different from that of later generations. The ancients basically started to rest at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and had to get up before six o'clock the next day.
Breakfast time is usually at 9 o'clock in the morning, which is Chen hour. Dinner time is about four to five o'clock in the afternoon, which is Shen hour. After eating this meal, you basically have to prepare to go to bed.
Because of the lack of oil and water, everyone has a large stomach. It is normal to eat one pound of rice and pasta when eating one meal. When playing, you need to eat two pounds of food to ensure full physical strength. When Lian Po was 80 years old, he still ate ten pounds of rice and meat. He felt it was exaggerated before, but when He Bai could eat five or six pounds of food in one meal, it felt normal.
While having a meal, Cheng Zhang and Fu Xing and the others found He Bai together and said, "Lord, there are many enemies in this battle. Although the soldiers said they were right, they were afraid that they would be in a difficult situation. Even if they were both very nervous, they were full of confidence. But the lord was full of confidence. I wonder if there was any trick? Can you tell me in advance so that I can feel at ease."
He Bai turned his head and looked around, and saw that more than 80 spirits around him were silent, with a disgusting face. Eating was like chewing wax, and it was difficult to swallow. "Damn." He Bai slapped his head violently and cursed in a low voice.
Just now, He Bai saw that the camps of Wuwan's army stood in scattered places, with almost no defensive facilities for the villages. There was a huge gap between the battalions, and there was a lot of room for his own play. I think later, Gan Ning successfully robbed the elite 100,000 Cao Cao's army with hundreds of cavalry. He also had nearly a hundred cavalry in his hands. What was the difficulty of robbing a large camp of mobs?
This idea was not bad, but I just forgot one thing, that was the issue of personal fame. When Gan Ning was robbing the Wei camp at the Hundred Cavalry, his personal reputation of bravery was well known to Jiangdong. Therefore, although there were few soldiers, he could also comfort the uneasy of the soldiers under his command, so that they could work together and move forward bravely, and finally not lose one person's success and retreat.
But I am like a whiteboard, without reputation. Although I have inspired some people who are loyal to righteousness with words, who can believe that I can use hundreds of cavalry to successfully rob the camp of all the people and return safely?
He Bai was a little annoyed and left the food and said, "There is no clever plan. I saw that the enemy camp was in chaos and had many flaws. I had the confidence to easily rob it and retreat safely, but everyone was suspicious and disbelieving it, which was really annoying."
"So that's it." Cheng Zhang bowed deeply: "Lord, Zhang has a plan to help the lord with one arm and one force."
"Oh?" He Yi suddenly looked up and asked, "What's the plan?"
Cheng Zhang smiled and said, "I had seen the enemy camp before and saw an old master Sangmaha camp in the east. At first, Fu Xing and I wanted to lead the remaining soldiers to Wuwan and join him, but unfortunately they were defeated and captured. Today, since we both came to the lord's command, we could use the strategy of deceiving surrender to rob the master Sangmaha's camp."
He Yi heard Chengzhang say that the camp in Sangmaha happened to be one of the three camps that Gongsun Zan refers to. He immediately looked at Chengzhang in surprise and asked, "What's the difference between you and Sangmaha?"
Chengzhang said, "In the past, Sangmaha, the master of Nawuwan, had a serious illness. He came to Youzhou for treatment, but fortunately he was cured by Zhangzhi. When Nawuhan was about to part, he invited Zhang to Wuwan and even intended to recruit me with a lot of money. At that time, there were still great wise men and good teachers in the Central Plains, so he did not respond. Today, I may use the previous appointment to surrender."
He Bai nodded and said, "This strategy is feasible, but you can't tell everyone completely, otherwise it will be easy to reveal it. Fu Xing, you can pick out ten calm and trustworthy people and leave them to Cheng Zhang to share."
Fu Xing quickly picked out ten calm and trustworthy people from more than 80 people. After Chengzhang's low commentary, everyone suddenly realized and smiled happily. With them as role models, he explained that He Bai's fake general had already had a clever plan, and the others finally settled down and had dinner with peace of mind.
After dinner, everyone left the camp with He Bai. Under Chengzhang's guidance, He Bai led the eighty-five white horses to the east and took more than half an hour to get close to the three camps that Gongsun Zan mentioned. The three camps were divided into shapes, one was prominent, and two were later, and there was about three miles apart. It was Shen Shizhong, about four o'clock in the afternoon, which was when the Wuhuan people were preparing dinner.
The approach of He Bai's team aroused the vigilance of a group of Wuhuan's whistle. If it were the provocates of the Youbeiping Army, the number of He Bai's team was too large. If it was to attack the camp, He Bai and others would be overestimated. The three camps in the east were divided into three tribes, each with one or two thousand people, with a total of more than 5,000 people. More than 80 people attacked the camps with thousands of people, which was impossible to say.
Although the Wuhuan whistle was only five or six, they were also brave. They approached slowly. They drew their bows and arrows a hundred steps away, and shouted loudly in Chinese. He Bai shouted loudly: "We are usually excluded by Gongsun Yue, the younger brother of Gongsun Zan, in Youbei. I heard that Wuhuan had a large army coming to find trouble for Gongsun's family. They came to join the Wuhuan army and were willing to be the guide. I dare to ask which Wuhuan master you are."
Wuhuan Youshou and Bai Ma Yicong looked at each other, and neither side could believe it was true. But Bai Ma Yicong finally remembered He Bai's advice all the way and did not dare to object. Wuhuan Youshou shouted loudly: "Which master are you here to join?"
He Bai replied loudly: "There is one of us who is the old man of Lord Sangmaha. Are you willing to inform us? If you succeed, I will definitely give you a good reward in the future."
Wuhuan's whistle shouted loudly: "Then you send that person first, and you can get closer after our master agrees."
He Bai clasped his fists and said, "If this matter is accomplished, it is all your achievements. He Bai thanked me first."
Cheng Zhanggong bowed and said, "The lord has been awarded too much. This is Zhang Yingxing's business, so I'll go." After that, he rushed forward and followed a Wuhuan wandering whistle and headed straight for the Wuhuan camp.
He Bai asked the Bai Ma Yizong to wait in place, and he flattered himself and greeted Wuhuan. The Wuhuan people were close to the Han area and knew a lot of Chinese words, but they were messy and a bit nonsense.
After a wave of flattery, He Bai finally learned about the great situation of the three Wuhuan people. The three Wuhuan people were named Sangmaha, Kesuoer, and Solo, with the same name as the tribe's elders, and belonged to a branch of Wuhuan in Yuyang. He Bai heard that most of them were forced by Qiu Liju by force. If the loss was smaller and the income was more, they could still obey the orders. If the loss was more and the income was less, they would be afraid that they would disperse immediately.
Chengzhang's trip seemed to be very smooth. Not long after, a team of about 200 Wuhuan cavalry rushed out of the camp that highlighted the group. Chengzhang and a young Wuhuan coach took the lead, laughing all the way, and it seemed that the Wuhuan people were very happy.
He Bai hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and asked with a smile, "Chengzhang, don't know what to call this little handsome guy?"
"Lord, fortunately, I'm not disgraced." Cheng Zhang clasped his fists and smiled: "This is Xiao Shuai Guitu, the confidant of Lord Sangmaha. It can be said that he is the confidant of Lord Sangmaha."
He Bai quickly bowed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "It turns out to be General Guitu. He Bai has long admired Daming. When he is a general under Lord Sangmaha in the future, I hope the general will take care of him!"
Guitu smiled and said in a not-so-fluent Chinese language: "Welcome to He Tianmingtun to join our army." After that, he ordered his 300 cavalrymen to rush into our army's ranks, two of them clamped together, and surrounded them in the middle.
Bai Ma Yicong was shocked and angry, thinking that it was a mistake in the plan, so he quickly thrust the sword at the same time and prepared to resist. Seeing that Chengzhang was slightly shook his head, he quickly shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, stop all of them." After stopping everyone, He Bai turned his head and asked: "General Guitu, this is how you welcome me to join the Sangmaha tribe?"
Guitu smiled and said, "You Han people have always been cunning, so I have to be careful."
He Bai said unhappily: "I, Han people, value etiquette the most. Although I come to like each other, I don't want the ones I like to underestimate me. Since you are rude to me, I don't have to join your division, and I'll be treated with the dirty air of your division in vain."
Guitu was furious and pulled out the big knife on He Bai's neck to put it on him, shouting: "If you dare not vote, I will kill you immediately."
He Bai laughed unchanged and said, "Hahaha, I came to join you voluntarily, but you were at me with a knife and arrow, so I didn't mean to accept it. Since you don't want to accept it, I will throw myself into someone else. If you kill me, I will not surrender. Although our army is small, you will be able to kill you two or thirty cavalry when you counterattack at death. When you enter and exit, your general suddenly lost more than a hundred cavalry. Tell me, do you really want to turn against me?"
Chengzhang, who was standing by, shouted in displeasure: "General Guitu and Lord Sanmaha all welcomed me to my arrival, why are you so rude to my Lord?"
Guitu laughed suddenly, put his knife down and patted He Bai's shoulder and said, "General He Tun, Master Cheng, I'm sorry, I just had some doubts about you just now and tried it out, not deliberately threatening you. Sorry, I, Guitu, here I, was here to accompany you."
He Bai snorted coldly and said, "General Guitu, you need to be sorry, He Bai no longer intends to join your department. I originally thought that Chengzhang, the old acquaintance of Lord Sangmaha, would be very respected when he joined your department. I didn't want to, but I was troubled by you everywhere. Humph, since that's the case, it's better not to join. Chengzhang, please help me go to the Kesuoer tribe and the Soro tribe to see if they intend to accept us. If they don't want to, then my department will go to the Lord Qiu Liju. Anyway, there are not less than a dozen Wuhuan tribes here, and there is always one who will be respectful and respectful."
Guitu repeatedly persuaded him, but He Bai just refused. Guitu was angry and shouted, "What do you want to forgive my rudeness just now?"
He Bai also shouted loudly: "I was excluded from others in Youbeiping County and was in a bad mood. But you came to force me for no reason. How could I easily surrender to you? Unless Lord Sangmaha of your tribe can go out to welcome me in person, I will be willing to surrender."
Guitu was angry and annoyed, glared at He Bai fiercely, and then said, "You wait, I'll send someone back to ask."
After saying that, he sent a cavalry to return to the camp. Not long after, he saw a noble man in his fifties who came hurriedly with several cavalry. He shouted loudly: "Don't be upset, Hetun generals, are all the bastards who are doing things, and it is not Sangmaha who deliberately despises Hetun generals. If they are rude, I hope Hetun generals will be forgiven. Sangmaha is here to accompany you."
Chengzhang also said very unhappy: "Mr. Sangmaha, I don't want you to be such a backlash. It's so disappointing."
Sangmaha quickly clasped his fists and explained, "Ah, hetun general, Cheng Taoist priest, you don't know anything. My Sangmaha tribe is weak and wealthy. In the Wuhuan tribe, he is just a small tribe. He lives a tight life on weekdays. It's okay to accept Cheng Taoist priest, but suddenly Hetun brought you nearly a hundred people to join us. This... It's normal for some people in the tribe to have something unhappy."
Chengzhang said: "Mr. Sangmaha, since your strength is not up to par, why didn't you say it clearly before? Now you don't accept it, and you don't want to release it, but what's the reason?"
Sangmaha's old face turned red and said, "Don't I want to take advantage of this war to gain something in the Han area and to provide you with money and things to support you."
He Bai laughed and said, "Why don't you say this earlier if Lord Sangmaha has such inconvenience? I know a lot about the things in the cities of Youbeiping County, especially the Yan clan, which is known as Yanban County. The wealth and goods of that clan are easy to rob, but there are too few soldiers and horses under his command. If Lord Sangmaha helps, he will definitely be able to use the Yan clan's savings for hundreds of years for us."
After hearing this, Sangmaha couldn't help but shine brightly. No one knew about the Fu Wuhuan clan of the Yan clan of Youbeiping. If the Yan clan could obtain wealth, Sangmaha would immediately become the richest member of the Wuhuan clan, even if it was compared with Qiu Liju clan.
Sanmaha quickly snapped up and asked, "This is what you say is serious."
He Bai smiled and said, "This matter is of course true..."
"The plan will be released?"
He Bai smiled and said, "Where is the place to speak here."
Sangmaha smiled with an old face, and went forward to join hands with He Bai, and rode his horse to the Wuhuan camp. The more they talked, the happier they were, like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years. The closer they got to the Wuhuan camp, the more they were vigilant against He Bai and others, and even Guitu, who had been unkind to He Bai, approached the two of them and listened to He Bai's general strategy of robbing.
Seeing that the camp of the Sanmaha tribe was approaching, He Bai asked: "Sir Sangmaha, I wonder how many troops your troops have fallen? How many troops will be sent this time?"
Sangmaha's old face turned red and she smiled and said, "Our division is only a small division, with a total of five hundred people, more than 4,000 soldiers and 1,300 cavalry. This time, this is a huge crowd."
He Bai knew that the Wuhuan people were different from the Han people. They were soldiers from all over the country, from over fifteen years old to forty-five years old to elite soldiers. Generally, Wuhuan people only sent one army, two to three soldiers, basically all the old and weak men were born. Although the Wuhuan people could fight on horseback, they could not be called very powerful combat power.
