Eunuch Suan and the general who ran away together submitted the report to the imperial court. A group of ministers and Prime Minister Gui stretched their necks to read it.
The emperor, who was both happy and confused, looked at it and took a breath.
The military report was not written by the Southern Army, but by the captain of Zhechong Mansion. This captain was also Lao Ba's personal entourage and was specially transferred there.
The captain didn't know too many details. When he went to the border to inquire, he only heard from the soldiers that Young Master Han was strategizing and using tricks. He didn't know what the tricks were. They just made them anyway. They didn't understand all kinds of tricks anyway. It was a clever plan, and then the 50,000 barbarians who surrounded the pass were in disorder. The border troops went out to kill the enemy. Han You lured the rebel Zhou Tianfeng into the pass and captured him alive.
It is worth mentioning that the burning of grain and grass is one of the decisive factors in determining the outcome of the battle.
As a result, the captain, who was eager to report the good news, had not yet investigated clearly, and was just hearing about it.
Because Han You, Ren Canglin and others from Nanguan deliberately concealed Zhou Xiao's whereabouts, the captain did not know that it was Zhou Xiao's men who burned the grain and grass, and thought it was the Xiaoqi camp.
Previously, Fu Yuxiang had blocked the mountains and forests in the pass, so the captain thought he was cooperating. Anyway, he just wrote a short composition and wrote down everything he learned, plus his own speculations and facts.
In any case, it is true that Han You captured the rebels before going to Nanguan. He even chopped off the heads of Zhao Bao and his son. Moreover, these two things were aimed at providing food and grass for the rear. This is an ironclad fact.
The military report was very long. The emperor read it ten lines at a time before putting it on the desk. He read it word by word, and several ministers looked at it with different expressions.
"It's solved. Is the siege of Nanguan now solved?"
Zhao Tai didn't understand war, but he just found it unbelievable. What kind of thing was this? It caused a huge fuss, mobilized troops, and made it known to the whole world. It has only been more than half a month. Has it started or is it over?
Sun Shouting picked up the yahuazi, but the first batch of food and grass was not ready yet, so it was over.
Qian Ji, a layman, asked an extremely idiotic question: "The military reports are not false, are they?"
"Nonsense."
The emperor stared at him: "Cheng Yong was my personal attendant back then, how could he lie about the military situation? This military report was sent by Zhe Chong Mansion, there is absolutely no lie."
Several elders all breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't fake.
Wu Dingbi said stupidly and happily: "We are a barbarian tribe outside the Pass. With such fighting power, we still have to knock on the Pass. It is a big joke in the world. We are not overestimating our own capabilities."
"That's wrong."
Lao Ba is an expert, and his eyes were fixed on the word "use plan": "I haven't seen the full details here, but I can be sure that it was this plan that turned the tide of the war. On the first day of the battle, Han You's subordinates personally followed It's so brave to go out alone, but I don't know if it's the guardian Wang Hai or who it is..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, Zhao Tai nodded repeatedly: "Wang Hai, Wang Hai, it must be Wang Hai, it must be Wang Hai."
The emperor glanced at Zhao Tai, who was confused, and continued: "This man came out of the pass. The enemy did not fight on the first day. On the second day, they had alliance talks. After that, the enemy was in chaos. In the end, they lost food and fodder in the rear. This is the enemy." The army was defeated."
After finishing speaking, Lao Ba raised his head, his eyes were burning, and he was extremely curious. What kind of strategy could make the 50,000-strong army collapse into chaos.
In addition, what surprised him the most was that Zhou Tianfeng was found and captured alive!
"Ha ha ha ha."
Lao Ba laughed loudly and sat down and said: "I won't hide it from you now. This is why I sent Han You to Nanguan on my own. Although I let him do it easily, I also gave him some pointers. That's right. , gave me some pointers, hahahaha.”
Lao Ba even told himself that he believed it, and he was quite proud of it.
The ministers laughed along with him and nodded repeatedly. They believed this. Lao Ba was also a fierce general back then.
Only Mr. Suan was unhappy. He looked at the back of Lao Ba's head and wanted to curse.
You were a guide, you taught Han You how to catch the gangsters and ransack their homes to make money. At that time, Han You dismissed him and said that money was not made that way. After all, he was the emperor. How shameless.
Another little eunuch ran in, shouting a great victory, a great victory.
It is not surprising to everyone. Military reports are usually made in two copies, or more than two copies, one for Zhe Chongfu and one for the frontier army. The time is almost spent on both front and rear.
Lao Ba nodded cheerfully and asked the young eunuch to bring the general report, ready to see what the border army's military report said.
As a result, Lao Ba's smile froze as he looked at it.
Supervising military strategists, making appeals, negotiating alliances, and the court's preferential treatment of Fanman...
Lao Ba almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and cursed directly: "When the hell did I say I was going to cede three cities to those savages!"
He was unhappy, but Mr. Suan was happy.
Civil and martial arts are so boring, wouldn’t it be under your guidance, Bago?
Lao Ba, who scolded twice, suddenly realized: "So, this is a estrangement plan, but no matter how much estrangement is, we can't cede the city. This will cost me my face..."
Eunuch Suan patted the horse at the right time and said: "Your Majesty is a wise man, and your guidance is wonderful."
"roll!"
…………
At this time in Nanguan, Han You was scolding, and the scolding was unpleasant.
"I'm rich, and with the hard-earned money, I can buy whatever I want. Not to mention the armored heavy sword, even if your mother puts it on the counter, I'd dare to go up and ask for the price!"
Zhao Xiong, whose face was sprayed with saliva, almost went berserk. If he hadn't known about the story between Han You and the Emperor that he had to tell but couldn't tell, he would have taken action long ago.
"Han, don't go too far. What you bought is Zhao Jiazu's armor and heavy sword. It is clearly the life of me, Zhao Jiazu!"
"As long as I don't have to sacrifice the lives of the border troops, I'm happy to use whoever I want. With my hard-earned money, I can buy whatever I want."
"Your money was stolen from me!"
"I won't give it to you, okay?"
Han You turned around and left. Zhao Xiong quickly grabbed him and took a deep breath: "How are you going to coerce me?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll go back and think about it first."
Zhao Xiong: "..."
Tang Qingfeng next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said cautiously: "General Han, aren't you a bit... bullying others too much?"
Zhou Tong nodded repeatedly, but was severely stepped on by Feng Bai.
"Call Shibo!" Han You was so angry that he even shouted at Tang Qingfeng: "Who are you? Are you the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Army or a lackey of the Zhao family? Is the life of the border army more important or the life of the Zhao family?"
Tang Qingfeng remained silent. From the perspective of the deputy commander of the Southern Army, he supported Han You.
But from the perspective of a person with a little bit of cultivation and quality, he did not support Han You.
For the first time, Han You wanted to "trade" with several barbarian tribes, trading food and wine for a large number of small animals.
It's over. The food and wine used by Han You all belonged to the Zhao family.
It's over. Han You was afraid that the other party would take advantage of him, and he didn't want the border troops to bear this risk, so he asked Zhao Jiazu to go out and exchange with others.
It's over now. Han You said that the Zhao family's hard work was not in vain, so he gave Zhao Xiong 10,000 yuan as a reward.
Zhao Xiong was not anxious at first, but he became anxious when he heard that Han You had offered him a reward of 10,000 yuan.
Don't blame Zhao Xiong for being anxious, he changed to Tang Qingfeng and transformed directly on the spot, so he didn't bully others like this.
Seeing that the two sides couldn't reach an agreement and Zhao Xiong couldn't make any progress, Han You stopped scolding.
"Old Zhao, don't say that brother doesn't take care of you."
Han You suddenly said seriously: "The Zhao family has at least three thousand well-equipped light cavalry. I would rather let people know about it than tell people about it. Since your Zhao family has exposed Zhao Jia soldiers, if the imperial court and His Majesty still pretend not to know anything. If so, where can I put my face? If Zhao Jiazhu helps the Confederate Army escort the goods, no, transports food and wages, then it is semi-official. It is a righteous act. Since it is a righteous act, it can be done openly in the future. There is only one chance. This transaction, Do you do it?”
Zhao Xiong gritted his teeth and said: "I led Zhao Jia soldiers to save you!"
"Did I let you save me?"
"you…"
"I thought of it." Han You slapped his forehead and showed a playful smile again: "Calculate how much money your Zhao family has been blackmailed by me, I will pay it all back to you. From now on, we will never know each other, and we will forget each other in the world. .”
"what for!"
"It means that your previous investment and bet on me was all in vain and all your hard work was in vain."
Zhao Xiong was stunned for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Okay, just this once, after changing the goods, you are not allowed to send me Zhao Jia soldiers again!"
"Then you still want that ten thousand yuan reward..."
"Shut up, if you open your mouth again, I will die in front of you!"
