The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

30 The anger is so embarrassing that it is unbearable

Dong Qi, whose nose had been cut off, fled back to Dongying, and at the Yuanmen, he asked for clothes to put on, and ran to the handsome tent in embarrassment. Go online if you like.

Dongying soldiers along the way saw him, and some went up to inquire. They learned that Xun Zhen had come here because of his miserable condition. Later, it was reported from Yuanmen soldiers that he had also been stripped of his armor by Xun Zhen. The soldiers who fought from Dong Zhuo's south to the north, even though they had defeats, could win more battles. Even if they occasionally lost, they had never suffered such humiliation. The **** men in the Changsheng army were all immediately embarrassed, and there was an uproar in the camp.

Some of the other ministers, Sima, Qu Junhou, and the colonel of the colony heard the news, and rushed to the commander's tent to see He Ji.

When he arrived at the tent, he saw this Dong Qi bowing down on the ground, telling He Ji about the process of his own humiliation.

Until this time, Dong Qi's wounds had not been bandaged, and his body was covered in blood. Those who saw it were truly horrified, and those who heard it sighed. Listen to him talking about the process of being cut off his nose, ears, and armor. At that time, all the generals around Xun Zhen were laughing and laughing, and the officers who came to the tent couldn't hold back, and cursed one by one. Fight to He Ji.

The Dong Qi said, "Marquis Xun asked me to send a message to the captain."

He Ji was also very annoyed, blushed, suppressed his anger, and asked, "What did Marquis Xun tell you to tell me?"

"Marquis Xun said, Marquis Xun said..."

"Speak straight!"

"Marquis Xun said: In his eyes, the captain is just a mouse's ear. In the past, when he and Dong Guoxiang were discussing the yellow turban together, the captain, the captain..."

"How am I?"

"Marquis Xun said what was a captain at that time? Now he dares to block his way. If the captain is acquainted, he will surrender as soon as possible. He may save the captain from death, if he refuses to surrender..."

"What if it doesn't come down?"

"If you don't want to surrender, you'll probably be given the head of the tiger soldiers under his command, just like the thousands of cavalry soldiers sent by the Colonel a few days ago, in exchange for military merit."

He Ji was furious, slapped the case in front of him suddenly, and said angrily: "I respected his reputation in the past, but now even though both sides are enemies, I have never been rude. You humiliated me like this! Come on someone..."

All the officers in the tent fell to the ground and said loudly: "Please order the captain, I will send troops out of the camp and kill him personally!"

"...Go and ask me, has the envoy I sent to Yiqueguan to report the news and ask for help come back?"

The officers looked at each other: "Lieutenant?"

He Ji turned his anger into a laugh, laughed loudly, and said: "Xunhou Duozhi, he is a way of provoking generals, don't you see it? If I am provoked by him, I will definitely fall into his plan. He thought that when Xunhou came to attack this time, there were many new soldiers, and his fighting power would be weak, so he sent Qianqi to investigate his real situation earlier, but he did not expect that although he had more new soldiers than old ones, he still managed to win by a small margin. The field is truly worthy of the name of 'Brave and Good Fighting'. Since he won, the morale of the army is set high at this time. It is reported that he only brought thousands of horses to challenge our troops. It is conceivable that these thousands of horses are definitely They are all the elites of his troops. If I rashly go out to the camp and fight, the chances of winning are really small. Don't be impatient, you all know: I heard that Marquis Xun was approaching in the morning, so I sent envoys and cavalry to go in a hurry. Yique Pass asks for help, calculate the distance, at the latest tonight, the envoy who will report to ask for help will be able to arrive at the pass, General Hu will order the troops, and they can leave the pass tomorrow, and the reinforcements will arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow at most. When reinforcements arrive, they are attacking from the north, and our troops leave the camp to attack them, attacking from both sides, why is it difficult to win?"

"But Xunhou insulted me for waiting too much!"

"And waiting for the victory in the future, can't you repay this small humiliation?"

"Captain!"

"Be wise for the generals, because it is a big taboo for the military to raise troops because of anger. You can know why you can only be Sima, military marquis, and colony chief, while I was appointed by the Prime Minister as a school captain, and was personally ordered by General Hu. , are you here to guard the camp?"

"That's because the captain of the school is brave and brave, and I can't compare it with me."

"No, no, not only because I dare to fight bravely, but also because I have wisdom."

"But Captain..."

"Master, let's all go back to our headquarters. Xunhou is good at fighting, and he needs to prevent him from attacking at night. I passed my army orders and told me to cheer up all the troops guarding the camp tonight. Hou is coming."

The officers had no choice but to resign from the account.

When they were all out of the tent, He Ji glanced at the Dong Qi who was still bowing down to the ground and said, "You too."

After speaking for a long time, there was no movement, and Dong Qi was still bowing to the ground.

When the two personal soldiers looked over, it was because of excessive blood loss that Dong Qi fainted.

He Ji called him out and ordered someone to bandage him. When there were no outsiders in the tent, he stood up, kicked the table in front of him suddenly, drew his sword, and went to the table to kill him. After several swords, the smile on his face just now vanished, and in exchange he blushed again, and scolded in a low voice: "Hurt me too much! Humiliate me too much! If you don't report this humiliation, I swear not. for people."

The absence of outsiders in the account does not mean that there is no one else. Besides He Ji, there is still one person, who is his trusted military Sima.

There are many types of Sima, with high and low rank. There are Sima of the army with a hundred shi, and there are Sima of other divisions who lead only one division and have a rank higher than a thousand stones. Sima. The military commander is the deputy of the commander. If there is no commander in the department, or when the commander is absent, the commander is the head of the department. Therefore, the position of commander can only be recommended when conditions permit, such as when the commander can be recommended by himself. , is usually the person most trusted by the captain. The military commander in Liu Bei's department is Guan Yu, and the military commander in He Ji's department is also a role like Guan Yu, and in He Ji's heart, it is like Guan Yu in Liu Bei's heart.

This military Sima won the trust of He Ji and knew He Ji very well.

Seeing He Ji's anger, he stepped forward and persuaded him, "The Colonel Shicai said very well, as long as the reinforcements arrive, we can win in one fell swoop. Today's humiliation is not difficult to repay, so there is no need to get angry."

"How could I not know this truth? But now I have been defeated in Yingchuan first, losing the elite of the thousand cavalry, and secondly, I have been humiliated outside the camp, and I have lost the prestige of Dong Xiangguo and General Hu. , What does Dong Xiangguo think of me? You don't know, I don't know how many people are staring at my position as a colonel! Even if General Hu's reinforcements arrive, even if we win a game, maybe someone will grab me I made a big fuss about my defeat and humiliation. Until then, I am not only afraid that my position as a colonel will not be guaranteed, but I may also be punished by military law.

"... Besides, let's say, since Xun Zhenzhi was able to annihilate my elite thousand cavalry, it means that his troops are not as weak as I thought earlier, and Jiang Xian (Xu Zhong), Jiang Xian (Xu Zhong), etc. The generals Liu Deng and Xin Ai, I have seen them in the past when they were begging for the Yellow Turbans. They were all very brave. They were not under me. I heard that there were Xi Zhong and Xun You in their tents. They were all wise men, and Sun Wentai was also a fierce general. It should not be underestimated. He is not weak in fighting strength of his subordinates, and he has a lot of warriors and wise men under his account. He is waiting for the reinforcements of General Hu to arrive. To be honest: whether I can win or not is still between the two. If I can't win again, plus my defeat and humiliation, my head should be lost!"

He Jieng was entrusted by Hu Zhen with the important task of guarding the front lines of the Yique Passes, as he boasted: not only because of his bravery, but also because he was somewhat wise.

His analysis makes sense.

The military Sima agreed and said: "Then what should I do now, according to the captain's intention?"

"If I had a plan, I wouldn't be so annoyed."

"Actually, the captain doesn't need to worry too much. Marquis Xun is good at fighting, and there are many warriors and wise men under his tent, but he first won a game in Yingchuan, and now he has won a small victory outside my camp. It is inevitable to be proud—from his actions of cutting his nose, ears, and armor, and from what he told the cavalry soldier to bring to the captain, he must be so proud now. defeat."

He Ji held the sword in the tent for a moment, returned the sword to its sheath, and said, "Qing Yan is good. Since Xun Zhenzhi asked for the Yellow Turban, he has been invincible. He looks down on me. Pride is also normal. Humph! Well, I'll see how he loses because of arrogance." After speaking, he called a few soldiers outside the tent to come in and ordered, "Go to Xunhou's formation to see if there is any change. , report at any time."

It was already nighttime, and He Ji and the army Sima had a casual meal. After all, he had lost two games in a row. He was afraid of Xun Zhen and couldn't sleep, because he and the army Sima led his own soldiers to patrol the camp.

Four or five thousand people only look at the numbers and it seems that there are not too many people, but "one thousand people can reach the sky", four or five thousand people can only grow by pulling the team, not to mention the roads, school training grounds, etc. fortress? Occupy a wider area.

By the time He Ji and the army Sima had patrolled around and returned to the tent, it was already two shifts.

Two of the personal soldiers who had gone to visit outside the Xunzhen formation came back and reported to him: "Lieutenant Colonel, I will be visiting outside the Xunzhen formation, and I see Xunhou, Sunhou and other soldiers camping on the spot. ."

"Camp on the spot?"

"Exactly."

He Ji thought: "Xun Zhenzhi knows the art of war, and is good at fighting, how could he not know that this camp should be carefully selected and must not be careless, but how could it be on the spot where he deployed earlier? Camp?" asked, "How is his camp built?"

"Very crude."

"How shabby?"

"There are neither high walls nor ravines, only some rough woods were inserted around the perimeter as fences, and several hundred foot soldiers were placed in front of the camp to guard the left and right sides."

When the military Sima heard about it, he was overjoyed and said, "I don't think Marquis Xun is so proud! Captain, this is a good opportunity from heaven, and my department can attack it at night."

He Ji hesitated for a while, then said: "Xunhou Duozhi, he only humiliated me in the afternoon, and he camped in such a simple way at night. Maybe this is his trick to lure me... No, no, no night attack."

"Lieutenant, such a good opportunity..."

"Wait a minute, anyway, the reinforcements from General Hu should be able to arrive at most."

"But General Hu doesn't send reinforcements?"

There is such a possibility~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but He Ji thinks this is unlikely, he said: "If my camp is lost, then Marquis Xun can go straight to the Yique Pass. You won't help me."

The military Sima's persuasion was useless, and it was nothing more than that.

He Ji was still not sleepy, because he heard that Xun Zhen's camp was poor, so he took the military commander to Yuanmen again. He climbed up and looked at it. The place was pitch dark—it was nearly three watch, and the sergeants who came to Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, etc. were already asleep, so they couldn't see too much light.

He looked into the distance and said to himself, "If the enemy on the opposite side is not Xun Zhen's relatives, then Yueming tonight would be an excellent opportunity to attack."

He Jibu is an old soldier, and many people have experience of night battles. The bright moonlight tonight is the icing on the cake.

"It's a pity that the opposite is the relative of Xun Zhen, but I can't be careless."

He looked at it for a while, then went down to the watchtower and went back to the tent. He was just halfway there when he heard a faint noise coming from a distance behind him.
