Zhang He's tent in the Weishui camp.
"Bring them up!" Le Lin greeted, and saw two sergeants immediately escorting two prisoners up. Their bodies were already covered in wounds, and a lot of blood was still gushing out from the wounds.
Zhang He sat upright in the tent, calmly looking at the two people in the hall, and immediately raised his hand to signal everyone around him to retreat. Only Zhang He, Le Lin, and the two Night Owl sergeants were left in the tent.
Zhang He narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were also visible. He put a pair of strong hands on the table and slowly asked: "What are your names?"
One of the nearly dying sergeants just sneered, spat, and cursed angrily: "Everyone! Kill him if you want! Don't make any noise here, prepare a sharp knife to send grandpa on the road!"
Zhang He said with a smile: "You are still a tough guy! Okay, I will satisfy you, Le Lin, I'll kill you!"
Lelin cupped her hands and said, "Yes!" She immediately took out the sword from her waist and was about to chop it down.
"General, spare your life! General, spare your life! Let my brother go, I will say anything!" Another famous sergeant kowtowed quickly and said with a cry.
"Bah! Stupid brother! How did General Hanxing treat you! How could you do such a traitorous thing and surrender to the enemy!"
Zhang He immediately signaled Le Lin to stop and continued to ask: "What are your two names?"
The kowtow sergeant said quickly: "General, I am a sergeant from Yizhou. My name is Xu Er, and this is my brother Xu Da."
Zhang He smiled, it was really easy to understand the name: "Since you want me to let your brother go, you have to come up with some chips, otherwise a little person like you won't even be considered an ant in my eyes."
Xu Er hurriedly raised his head with tears streaming down his face: "General... General, I know where to get General Li Xian's armor."
When Xu Da heard this, he became furious and yelled: "Bastard! I'll kill you!" After saying that, he grabbed Xu Er's neck with both hands. If Le Lin hadn't stopped him in time, Xu Er would have been strangled to death here.
Seeing that Xu Da loosened his hands and was still cursing, Le Lin quickly got a rag and stuffed it into Xu Da's mouth, and then asked sternly: "Tell me, where did you get this armor! If you don't tell me, your two brothers You will die here!" Le Lin's sword was already placed on Xu Da's neck.
"I say! I say! General, please let my two brothers live!" Xu Er still kept kowtowing, and blood stains could already be seen on his forehead.
Zhang He then spoke slowly and said: "You two, as long as you can tell me where these armors come from, what they are used for, and how to crack them, I will naturally let you go and prepare some expenses for you two." .”
Xu Da still glared angrily and screamed when he heard the words, but Xu Er cried with joy when he heard the words. He bowed his head and said: "General...General, these armors were obtained by General Li Xian from the Ugo Kingdom in Nanzhong. I really don’t know the method of invulnerability and cracking! But I know there is a place where I can help the general get these armors.”
Zhang He frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where?"
Xu Er kowtowed and said: "General, there is a posthouse to the south of Wuzhangyuan. It was originally connected to Chencang and Liangzhou caravans. It was abandoned because of the war. Recently, a group of Nanzhong caravans came. They have this kind of armor for sale. General Li Xian renovated the post house for them to live in."
Hearing this, Zhang He murmured to himself: "Nanzhong? Chencang? Posthouse?" As if he thought of something, he hurriedly said: "Le Lin, get the general's map!"
"yes!"
Not long after, a map was already in Zhang He's hand. Zhang He looked at it and found that there was indeed no place on the map south of the Wuzhang Plain where an ambush could be found. He looked at the two people in the hall suspiciously, and immediately laughed and said: "Okay, you two, you want to use a trick to lure me into surrender, but you haven't pushed me out yet and killed him!"
Hearing this, Le Lin prepared to push the two of them out again, but saw Xu Er still kowtow and said: "General, you are wronged. General, what I said is absolutely true!"
Zhang He signaled Le Lin to stop again, but instead pondered over the map and looked suspiciously at Xu Er, who was kneeling in the hall, and Xu Da, who was struggling repeatedly.
Le Lin walked quickly to Zhang He and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, how credible are these two people's words?"
Zhang He's brows never loosened, and he just said: "I haven't found anything suspicious so far, but I just want to meet that group of Nanzhong businessmen."
When Le Lin heard this, she turned to Xu Er and said, "Where are those businessmen now?"
Xu Eryan said: "They should still be in the post house. They haven't gone far. The prime minister has been doing a lot of business in Liangzhou recently. These Nanzhong businessmen all want to make a fortune."
Le Lin then raised her hand and said, "Uncle, why don't you go around the southern military camp tonight and see if you can catch one or two businessmen?"
Hearing this, Zhang He first raised his hand to stop him and said, "No, don't trust the words of these prisoners. We should focus on safety."
"But, uncle, if there is no way to defeat the enemy tomorrow, I'm afraid your Majesty will be punished." Le Lin said again.
Zhang He didn't know at this moment that the best thing at this time was to think of a way to defeat the enemy at night, or to catch one or two Nanzhong merchants tonight, and to get these armors. He was also extremely distressed at the moment, hearing that Le Lin was like this He could only shake his head and sigh. It seemed that he had no other choice but to believe Xu Er, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Le Lin seemed to see the trouble in Zhang He's heart: "Uncle, now that things have happened, there is really no way out. In the past, Emperor Wu did not doubt Xu You, which was the reason for the great victory of Guandu. If uncle can directly remove the thorn in Li Xian's side in this battle, it will be me." Huo Qubing of the Wei Dynasty, how could Sima Yi dare to fight with the general?"
Zhang He remained silent, always feeling that things were not that simple, so he stopped talking. Le Lin wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang He. Unexpectedly, Xu Da, although tied up, suddenly bumped into Xu Er with a rag in his mouth. He was knocked out in an instant, and Xu Da could only be heard yelling: "The seller is seeking glory! I don't have a brother like you!" After saying that, he hit the weapon rack in the tent, and he was bleeding profusely. Died in the tent.
Xu Er was shocked and said: "Brother! Brother!" He hurriedly stepped forward and kept shaking his eldest brother's body. However, he saw that his eldest brother's eyes were still wide open and seemed to be filled with endless anger. He immediately felt sad and burst into tears.
Zhang He looked at it and said slowly: "Your eldest brother is indeed a man. Seeing your attitude, I will spare you and take you down."
Xu Er hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, General, for not killing me."
Zhang He looked at Xu Er who was sobbing uncontrollably and walked out of the tent slowly, but his thoughts became turbulent. Coupled with Le Lin's words just now, they really had a lot of effect.
"Slow down! Bring him back!" Zhang He waved and asked the sergeant to bring Xu Er back.
Xu Er returned to the camp again, immediately knelt down and bowed his head, shouting: "General, spare your life! General, spare your life!"
Zhang He also found it funny and immediately said: "No, I won't kill you. I want you to lead the way tonight. Let's see where the Nanzhong merchant is!"
Le Lin was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately held up her hands and said, "Uncle, my nephew is willing to be a pioneer!"
Zhang He shook his head and said: "I will go to this night attack in person. After I put on those armors and went to meet Li Xian in person, I want to see what else is there without these things." We can save his life! Ask Dai Ling to make preparations, come with me, and you stay behind at the Chinese army camp!"
Le Lin cupped her hands and said, "Yes! May my uncle achieve immortality!"
Zhang He pinched his beard and smiled, saying nothing. After Dai Ling had prepared five thousand light cavalry, he mounted his horse and quietly headed south of Wuzhangyuan. This was a place far away from the military formation, so he moved at night. Naturally, Zhang He's entire army had their horses hoofed up, so it was really difficult to find him.
Not long after, Zhang He's military formation had already moved to the south of Wuzhangyuan, and he was a little confused: "Dai Ling, this Li Xian's military formation is so quiet, isn't it a little strange?"
Dai Ling returned without thinking: "General, maybe it's late at night and everyone is asleep except the sentry post, right?"
"It shouldn't be. Li Xian is a famous general in the world. Why is the camp so poorly guarded at night?" Zhang He still asked strangely.
Dai Ling said: "General, has he forgotten that that day, General Dan attacked Li Xian's army at night? If there were more people, wouldn't it be successful?"
Zhang He also nodded when he heard this, put aside his doubts, and marched forward, but suddenly entered the Shangfang Valley, which was originally quiet and unusually quiet. There seemed to be a few young men in the valley sorting out goods, but he saw Zhang He's army coming. He immediately abandoned the goods and ran for his life. Zhang He did not pursue him, but just ordered people to see the goods organized by the boys.
"General! It's Jin Jia!" A soldier shouted excitedly.
Zhang He was also overjoyed. He immediately took one and ordered his sergeants to cut it down. However, he could not see through the armors and immediately burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Li Xian will be buried on the banks of the Weishui River tomorrow!"
After Zhang He's five thousand cavalry generals all put on armor with a slight golden light, Zhang He said hello and was about to withdraw his troops. Suddenly a strong wind hit, almost making Zhang He unable to open his eyes. When he opened his eyes, , but saw a large flag with Li characters suddenly appear at the entrance of the valley. With a greeting, the divine arm archers led by Gong Jie suddenly appeared from the original place, and for a while, the torch illuminated the entire valley above.
"It's bad! I've fallen into a trap!" Zhang He cursed secretly and thought to himself, but fortunately, he has these golden armors. Even if Li Xian's headquarters comes, he is not afraid. He no longer hesitates in his heart and immediately gives the order. He said: "Generals, don't panic! Follow me and charge over! Kill Li Xian!" Upon hearing this, Zhang He's cavalrymen were greatly boosted in morale, and they immediately got into position and charged over!
Dai Ling seemed to sense something was wrong, "General, it's broken, it smells like kerosene!"
Li Xian sneered, waved the flag, and the tripping ropes that had been buried for a long time appeared immediately, tripping the cavalry one by one. Seeing that the horses had lost their footing, he waved the flag again and shouted: "Let go!"
Gong Jie heard the shouting and immediately ordered to release fire arrows. In an instant, the sky was filled with fire rain...
