Linxiang County border, official road.
The cold wind whistling, blowing on the face, like a bone scraper, makes the cheek ache.
Han Xuan, with shamoko and Jin Xuan's 5000 soldiers, braved the cold wind. This time he withdrew to Linxiang County, Han Xuan took 30000 elite soldiers with him. In the bottom of his heart, in fact, he did not pay attention to Zhang Xiu.
It is true that Zhang Xiu is powerful. The problem is that Zhang Xiu's army is in Guanzhong. Even if Zhang Xiu still had an army in Jingzhou, it was in Jiangxia county. Han Xuan didn't pay much attention to the small troops gathered by Xiangyang's aristocratic families.
If not, Han Xuan did not dare to compete with Zhang Xiu.
Especially when Han Xuan saw more than 10000 excellent soldiers of shamoko, he was even more determined. These Wuxi barbarians come out of the deep mountains and forests. They are valiant and valiant. They look like valiant soldiers on the battlefield.
Towards noon, the army stopped to rest.
The cook in charge of the food began to cook. When he had dinner, Han Xuan saw wuximan swallowing food one by one. He didn't feel disgusted, but praised them. He wanted wuximan to eat more so that he could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Han Xuan, as usual, must be disgusted when he sees Wu Xi's rush for food. Now Han Xuan is eager to win over wuximan so that wuximan can work hard.
Han Xuangang had lunch and was ready to lean against the big tree for a while. When he was a child, a soldier came over and reported respectfully: "my Lord, manwang of wuximan asked to see him."
"Please
Han Xuan waved his hand.
The soldiers went to inform him that it wasn't long before he came to Han Xuan and sat down.
Han Xuan is very satisfied with shamoke's strong body, especially when he saw shamoke riding a horse, carrying a brier bone, the murderous look, is appreciated.
This is a valiant general!
With shamoko in, Han Xuan is full of confidence.
Han Xuan, with a smile on his face, stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a straight face, "what's the matter with the man King coming to see me?"
"Business!" said shamoko
After Han Xuan heard this, he was stunned.
Talk business!
What kind of business?
In particular, the man Wang of Wuxi was born in a vulgar family. He didn't know a word and had to talk about business, which made people feel strange. In particular, he is not as stupid as Wu Xi. On the contrary, shamoko feels extremely smart.
Han Xuan suppressed his surprise and asked, "what business is manwang going to talk about?"
Shamoko replied: "naturally, it's a business to talk about, fighting with Zhang Xiu. I entered Wuling county to defend Jin Xuan against Zhang Xiu's army. Jin Xuan gave me 30000 stone grains. "
"Now my barbarians have left Wuling county and entered Changsha County. My agreement with Jin Xuan will no longer take effect. It will not take effect again until we return to Wuling county. "
"I went to Linxiang county with Han Taishou, and wanted me to fight against Zhang Xiu for you, or even attack Zhang Xiu for you. If you don't show me anything, you can't do it."
Shamoko sat at will, holding his head high, looking like he was determined to eat Han Xuan.
Han Xuan took a puff from the corner of his mouth. He was surprised by the shrewdness of shamoke. He didn't expect shamoke to say such a thing. This is not a man king. It's a businessman. I want to bargain with him.
Han Xuan asked: "Man Wang wants to resist Zhang Xiu for me. What are the conditions?"
Shamoko grinned, showed his white teeth and said: "in fact, my condition is very simple. If I just resist Zhang Xiu's attack, Han Taishou can give ten thousand stones of grain. If you want to attack Zhang Xiu, Han Taishou will give me 30000 stone grain. "
Hiss!
Han Xuan took a cool breath.
Shamoko is really good at business. He needs more than ten thousand tons of grain as soon as he opens his mouth. As for Han Xuan, especially Changsha County, which is quite rich, ten thousand stone grain is not a small amount, but for a barbarian like shamoko, ten thousand stone grain is not a small amount.
"What's the meaning of Han Taishou?" asked shamoko
Han Xuan did not immediately answer, said: "if I do not give food?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Shamoko shrugged, a sly look in his eyes.
He rubbed his ragged armor, shook his hair and said, "if you don't give me food, I will still follow you. But don't count on me to fight on the battlefield. I'll get out of the field then. "
After a pause, shamoko said again: "Jin Xuan only asked me to send troops with you, and didn't say anything else. What's more, it was Jin Xuan who asked me to help him when he gave 30000 stone grains. I didn't say I wanted to help you in advance. "
Han Xuan said: "Man Wang's account is really clear."
Shamoko said: "you Han people have a saying, it's called brother Ming Suan. I remember it very clearly. If you want me to send troops, you have to bring out enough benefits. Otherwise, who are my barbarians willing to fight hard? "
Han Xuan was silent.
I didn't expect that shamoko made an offer in the middle of the way. In today's situation, Han Xuan, even if he is not willing to give food, has no choice but to bite his teeth.Because the 10000 excellent troops of shamoko are crucial.
With ten thousand of shamoko, Han Xuan has the strength to fight Zhang Xiu. Han Xuan had only 20000 elite soldiers and Zhang Xiu had more than 15000. On this premise, Han Xuan did not think he could win steadily.
Han Xuan didn't delay. He said, "I have agreed to the request of Man Wang. Now that he has given food, manwang has to go all out. Thirty thousand stone grain is not given in vain. "
With a smile on his rough cheek, he said, "I am always fair and just in doing things. If you don't believe it, you can ask Jin Xuan. He asked me to go out and encircle people for him in almost all battles. "
Han Xuan's eyes were rolling.
Shamoko is greedy for money!
In this way, can we make use of shamoco? Let shamoko make trouble in Wuling county.
But Han Xuan just thought about it for the moment. After all, even Zhang Xiu didn't solve the problem. Even if we have to consider the follow-up, we have to wait until we kill Zhang Xiu to compete with Jingzhou herdsmen.
The army rested in place.
Two quarters of an hour later, the army set out again.
Now wuximan is getting good, and everyone is happy, so he has the energy to walk. Everyone's on the move. We're on the way a lot faster.
It's getting closer to hulugu.
Han Xuan knew the landform of hulugu valley. After all, it was in Linxiang county. In fact, the entrance of gourd Valley is not too narrow, especially the entrance of gourd valley. The mountains on both sides are not steep. Han Xuan didn't pay attention to such a place.
The army is still on its way.
In the middle of hulugu, Zhang Xiu gets excited when she gets the news of Han Xuan's arrival.
Finally!
This time, he wants to let Han Xuan get in the way.
Zhang Xiu hiding in the forest, did not immediately send troops, quietly waiting. Han Xuan's troops, full of 30000 people, the team winding long, like a snake across the official road.
In a short time, Han Xuan's army arrived at the foot of Zhang Xiu mountain.
At this time, a soldier came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Taiwei, the front troops are led by wuximan shamoko, with a total of 10000 people. Followed by five thousand troops of Wuling county. At the end of it is Han Xuan's Changsha army. "
"I see!"
Zhang Xiu nodded, with a fine light on her face.
He has all arranged, just wait for Han Xuan's central army, to Zhang Xiu position, can launch an attack.
