After Wang Zhang returned to his camp, he became more and more angry as he thought about it.
Shi Hu was a young Jiehu boy. If he hadn't led him through many battles, he would have been used by the Huns to fill trenches.
Now his wings are hardened and his head is dizzy. He actually wants to throw himself into Sima's trap.
It's just stupid and couldn't be stupider.
Anyway, no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for him, Wang Zhang, to go to Jiangdong.
Even if Sima Rui and his son swear by gambling, he will never believe it.
Wang Zhang clearly remembered the stories about the Sima family that his grandfather Wang Qi once told his young self.
At that time, Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan of Jin Dynasty, swore an oath and then used those fools like Jiang Ji as guarantees, so he deceived the Cao Shuang brothers and captured them without help.
In the end, all three clans of the Cao Shuang brothers were wiped out. Any swearing or swearing was all bullshit.
Sima's dishonesty was based on Cao Shuang's bloody lesson.
He Wang Zhang is not Cao Shuang who is "worse than a pig or a dog".
"Somebody come!"
Wang Zhang thought of this and immediately shouted to his cronies.
"General, what are your orders?"
"Take my token and go to the grain fort at the back and tell them that no one is allowed to receive grain without my order!"
Wang Zhang thought that most of the food and grass now were under the protection of his generals.
If Shi Hu, that Jie Nu bastard, really wants to defect to Jiangdong, then I won't give him a grain of food.
Let those desperate Jie slaves crawl all the way to Jiangdong begging for food!
"General, where is Shi Hu coming to take charge?" the soldier asked in a low voice.
Wang Zhang's eyes widened and he said very dissatisfied.
"Of course it's the same! Is there anything different about Jie Nu?"
When the soldiers saw this, they quickly followed the order and went forward.
In the next two days, when the food and grass for the army on Shihu's side was finished, they went to the grain field behind Wang Zhang to collect the food and grass.
However, these Jie people who came to receive food and grass received a hard rejection.
"Our general said that no one is allowed to come and receive food and fodder without his order!"
"What general, why don't we know!" Several Jiehu asked angrily.
"Of course it's my general. This food and grass belongs to us, so naturally it's my general who has the final say."
Facing Wang Zhang's tribe who refused to open the door, these Jie people could only go back cursing.
As soon as they saw Shi Hu, these Jie people told Shi Hu about what they had just experienced.
Ever since Wang Zhang's power gradually grew, his subordinates had despised Jie Huduo, and soldiers from both sides had many minor conflicts.
Now that he has suffered a loss, he naturally does not want to give up.
After Shi Hu heard what happened, he only needed to think for a moment to understand Wang Zhang's intention.
"This Wang Zhang is really hateful!"
Most of the Shihu army were Jiehu. These people were slaves of the Huns in the past. They were almost all barbarians who could not manage their affairs. Naturally, they relied on Wang Zhang's subordinates to keep the granaries.
"General, Wang Zhang is trying to cut off our way of survival!" a general said angrily.
"A way to survive? Humph, Wang Zhang doesn't have the courage!" Shi Hu said disdainfully.
Wang Zhang was a ruthless and cruel person that made even Shi Hu look at him.
However, after getting along with him for such a long time, Shi Hu already fully understood that this Wang Zhang was more than vicious and cruel, but his military tactics were not as good as his own.
And Wang Zhang himself knew this, and he would definitely not think of actually drawing his sword against him.
All Wang Zhang wanted was to use this to force himself.
"General, what should we do?" asked a Jiehu general.
Shi Hu thought for a moment and immediately smiled coldly.
"Of course I have to make a good apology to General Wang!"
"Ah, apologize?" Several Jiehu generals looked unwilling.
"You!" Shi Hu pointed at one of the generals, Jiehu.
"What are your orders, general?"
"Go to Wang Zhang's army quickly and say that I have prepared wine and beauties in the camp, especially for Wang Zhang, just to apologize to him!" Shi Hu said loudly.
"But, General, if this is the case, what will we do in the future..." The Jiehu general had to shut his mouth tightly in the middle of his sentence.
Because of Shi Hu's murderous look, he was no longer allowed to continue talking.
"If you dare to talk too much, I'll behead you!" Shi Hu scolded with a pair of green wolf eyes.
"I will obey my orders, I will obey my orders!" The general quickly confessed.
Then, he immediately rushed out of the camp, mounted his horse and headed towards Wang Zhang's camp.
After meeting Wang Zhang, this Jiehu immediately told Shi Hu's invitation respectfully.
Wang Zhang did not reply immediately, but asked Jie Hu to wait elsewhere.
"General, you can't go. Jiehu has always been cunning, but now he is forced by the general, but he has not done anything. Instead, he wants to invite the general to the banquet. I'm afraid the banquet will not be a good one!"
"Yes, General, among these Jie Hus, Shi Hu is especially the most cunning. His invitation is definitely not a good one. He might be planning something against the General at the banquet!"
These generals immediately began to persuade him.
"Isn't it possible that Shi Hu really repented?" Wang Zhang said with some fantasy.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, general. That Jiehu is already afraid of Liu Yu like a tiger and has lost his courage a long time ago. How can he be willing to go to Guanzhong and continue to be his enemy?"
One of the generals pointed it out very pointedly.
"Hmph, I know that boy Shi Hu is just a bit fiercer in combat. He, a young kid, would never think of hosting a banquet and ambush." Wang Zhang was somewhat disapproving.
When several generals heard this, they became anxious.
They really couldn't understand why Shi Hu couldn't come up with such a simple strategy of setting up a banquet and ambush?
Does Wang Zhang really think that those Jiehu people are idiots?
"Okay, stop talking!" Wang Zhang waved his hand dissatisfied.
"If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll make people laugh to death!"
Having said that, Wang Zhang was about to start giving orders to the camp guards.
At this time, the generals were also hesitant.
After all, the relationship between Shi Hu and Wang Zhang has always been very close.
Shihu shouldn't be able to kill his own kind for a matter of diverging paths. It's really not possible no matter how you look at it.
However, there was still a general who pulled Wang Zhang's sleeve and tried to persuade him.
"General, think twice!"
"Think twice!"
Wang Zhang had no choice but to deal with such a loyal old subordinate.
"Then what do you want to do? Don't you want me to be afraid of him?" Wang Zhang was very impatient.
"General, you can ask Shi Hu to come to see the general. If Shi Hu has no evil intentions in his heart, he will definitely come to the banquet immediately. This shows that Shi Hu is still trustworthy!"
The general then continued.
"But if Shi Hu refuses to come to the banquet after being invited by the general, then the general should be careful!"
"This must be Shi Hu's evil intention!"
After listening to what this general said, Wang Zhang also felt that it made sense.
At the very least, he would not be seen as someone who was afraid of Shi Hu.
"Okay, let's do that for now!"
Wang Zhang finally nodded in agreement.
Later, the Jiehu brought the news back to Shihu.
After hearing this, Shi Hu and his subordinates were all nervous and surprised.
Because, just now, Shi Hu had ordered him to prepare swords and axes and poisoned wine. As long as Wang Zhang really came to the banquet, he would be killed on the spot.
After learning that Shi Hu was ready to kill Wang Zhang, the Jiehu general who was sent by him to deliver the message was immediately frightened to the point of losing his legs due to the fear that surged in his heart.
If he had shown himself in such a state in front of Wang Zhang just now, Wang Zhang would have noticed the clues.
After all, Shi Hu had already laid a trap and was just waiting for Wang Zhang to come and die.
"General, Wang Zhang must have noticed something, that's why he made this invitation!" A Jiehu general said immediately.
"Yes, General, Wang Zheng must have thought so too, and he wants to take advantage of this banquet to attack the General!!" Another Jiehu general also said loudly.
"General, why don't we just fire up our troops and attack him, and we'll hit him with one hit!"
This suggestion of raising troops directly was approved by many people.
"However, Wang Zhang and others are holding on to the camp. If we make a surprise attack, if we fail, we may only be inviting disaster upon ourselves!"
Shi Hu said calmly.
"Wang Zhang must have noticed something now, but he is not convinced, so he is very generous and wants to entertain me!"
"Probably just to test my guess. If I didn't go, then Wang Zhang must have understood something and would have made preparations in advance. He is afraid that our counterattack will not be effective!"
Shi Hu's words immediately put these Jiehu people in trouble.
If there was no sneak attack, but a forceful charge, it would be difficult for them to really have any advantage.
"What does the general plan to do?" asked a Jiehu general.
Shi Hu smiled softly, and then waved his hand.
"Come here, bring me all the beauties and wine you have prepared. I want to go and have a banquet with Liu Bei myself!"
After saying that, Shi Hu sneered.
When Shi Hu and his party were about to arrive at Wang Zhang's camp, his soldiers had already informed him.
"General, Shihu is here!"
"How did you come? How many people did you bring?" Wang Zhang asked immediately.
"They came with beautiful women and wine. There are only about a dozen of them, just like before!" the sergeant replied immediately.
"Hahaha, as expected, Shi Hu doesn't have the courage to do anything!"
After Wang Zhang heard this, he immediately laughed loudly at the general who urged him.
Afterwards, Wang Zhang immediately became arrogant with his golden sword.
When Shi Hu came in, he presented beautiful women and fine wine, and repeatedly stated that he had already considered it.
After all, the Sima family in Jiangdong had a good relationship with Liu Yu. After he went there, he might not have any good results. He might as well continue to follow the Huns and Han.
In the end, Shi Hu even expressed his hope that after returning to Guanzhong, with Wang Zhang as the main leader and himself as the supplement, he would strive to continue to achieve a career in the Huns and Han Kingdoms.
After hearing these words, Wang Zhang felt very proud.
This made Wang Zhang despise Shi Hu even more.
He thought about it seriously and realized that this should indeed be the case.
Because of the fierce pursuit of the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou, the Jiehu people had already been reduced to a small tribe of tens of thousands.
In various parts of Zhongzhou, they were regarded as rewards by Wubao powerful men and Han soldiers.
The glorious moments in the past when Shi Le led the Jiehu people across the north and south have long been forgotten by everyone.
Everyone only remembers Jiehu's repeated defeats.
Under such circumstances, if you don't continue to hug the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty tightly, you are not out of your mind.
After several compliments from Shi Hu, Wang Zhang's initial wariness had been completely abandoned.
At the end of the banquet, Shi Hu even invited Wang Zhang to come to his camp another day, because there were so many treasures he had recently acquired that it was inconvenient to carry them here one by one.
After Wang Zhang heard this, he immediately agreed happily.
=·=·=·=·=·=·=
Luoyang.
Ever since he learned that the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty were changing power rapidly, Liu Yu already knew that there was no way to get any advantage easily.
However, Liu Yu was still a little unwilling.
Because in taking Luoyang this time, he didn't just want such a city and land.
Liu Yu also had another important goal, which was to destroy the strength of the Huns.
However, after the Battle of Hulao, although the Hun Emperor Liu Cong died, the Hun army suffered not many casualties.
Not to mention a great loss of vitality, it is not even a damage to the muscles and bones.
Liu Yu had prepared a full year's supply of food and grass, but he walked to Luoyang as if on a long hike, and then watched as almost all the Huns fled.
After Liu Yu arrived in Luoyang, he sent troops to spread the news that the Han army had occupied Luoyang.
They also recruited some fleeing refugees from the mountains and marshes near Sizhou.
Regarding how to resettle these refugees, Liu Yu initially planned to move to the Yanzhou area.
However, he later changed his mind because he decided to continue to accumulate military strength in Luoyang and prepare to tentatively attack Guanzhong again.
At least one of the Huns must be drawn into battle and some of the Huns' soldiers and horses must be killed.
Therefore, these refugees in Sizhou can just bear the transportation of logistical equipment.
When Liu Yu revealed his plan and went to discuss it with everyone, he was opposed by Xi Jian and Gongsun Sheng.
Moreover, the two people's objections are surprisingly consistent.
"Your Majesty, there is the danger of Tongguan in Guanzhong and the strength of Xihe River. Even if we advance by water, it will be difficult to make progress!" Gongsun Sheng said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Pingyang is still in the hands of the Hulu, and the ferry at Puban is impassable, and the Hulu can send troops to harass the rear at any time. It is really not a favorable time for war!" Xi Jian said.
