C9 Pingding Western Xia (II)

Han Shizhong's group of fifteen lightly rode on fast horse s, dressed in simple clothing, and bid farewell to Liu Shiguang's group. During this period of time, Han Shizhong did not need to go through all the details, he rushed to the front of the group with his whip, and always showed off by bowing to himself, never relying on anyone else, and ran thirty miles away. Fortunately, he did not meet any Xicha assassins or bandits that tried to stop him along the way, because he had already chosen a deserted road, which brought him unnecessary trouble. Han Shizhong was unable to hold back his excitement. He wished that he could place all his heart's aspiration and wish in this vast desert, this vast world. "Why are you so happy, Big Brother?" As Han Shizhong spurred his horse forward, he responded, "What do you think of this great opportunity?"

Jie Yuan did not understand, and merely followed behind, replying truthfully: "Alright, I am unable to express myself with words."

Han Shizhong laughed again: "This is naturally good, thinking back to when the Han King, Liu Bang, started the fight against Qin, it was also for the painting inside the Great Wall, no matter who it is, they couldn't help but think about it, and sacrificed their own lives for it."

Jie Yuan and Li Shifu did not know what he was trying to say either. They looked at each other, and did not dare to make any assumptions as they listened carefully, Han Shizhong continued: "Although Liu Bang built a big man, he was surrounded by Bai Dashan during the battle against the Huns in the Western Region. Back then, the Hannwu Emperor had also been severely injured by the Huns, including Li Guang, Wei Qing, Yan Infant, Huo Quest, Ban Chao, and Huo Qing. "The myth of the defeat of the Huns forces the Western Regions to be at peace, and the great men to be secure, and to no longer be violated by the states." The men behind him were confused, and did not understand what he was trying to say.

Dong Min, "Big bro, I didn't think you would know so much. You're like a different person now."

Han Shizhong laughed: "These are all things that I heard from the old man in the village, especially the heroic Han Tang, who left a deep impression on me. That's why I realised today that our actions are just like Liu Che, calming down the Western Regions, in exchange for stability and stability, in a hundred years, the Western Regions will no longer be in any danger of pushing down the palace. At this time, the Xicha invaded our territory, took over our home, seized our food and livestock, and started to bully and humiliate us. We wholeheartedly thought that if we were to tolerate them, we would fall under their jurisdiction and become their slaves. "Therefore, we can only end this once and for all in exchange for peace and blessings."

"General Han is truly concerned with the safety of the world. We are all impressed by the great aspiration of volunteering in his heart." A young man who dared to go to the death camp called Ji Yong praised.

Han Shizhong replied instead of laughing, "I was just born to a poor family, so I naturally have experienced the hardships of the human world. I have a deep impression of these, and I do not understand any of the grand principles behind it.

Ji Yong could not say anything more, he thought that this person was just complaining about it, what's more, he was proud of his achievements, that person was not more powerful than Han Shizhong and the rest, and was extremely proud of himself.

Yue Chao then said: "Big brother's meaning is that we are heroes who would fight bravely for our country like Wei Qing, Huo Quou and the others, praising us?" The crowd burst into laughter. Han Shizhong also laughed: "How could I compare myself to such a young and famous Great hero and such a hero? I'm a bit overestimating myself."

However, Li Shifu said: "How can we not compete? It's just that we have just started, and everyone has their own difficult times when starting a business. This matter cannot be rushed. " Jie Yuan also agreed, causing Shi Binglong, Wu Peng, Ji Yong and the rest to be secretly delighted, laughing at their arrogance and overestimating themselves. Han Shizhong thought for a moment, then warned them: "Alright, bullshit, leave it to later on, I have no right to judge myself, leave everything to my descendants to judge, whether it's a deed or a sin, at this moment, you should prepare yourself, don't be too ambitious." Finished, the fast horse lashed out towards the Yinzhou again. At the back, they did not want to be outdone, so they all had a kind of calm, jovial attitude. They did not have the slightest nervousness about raiding the camp and seizing the stronghold.

At the time of the battle, they were still about five kilometers away from the Silver City. All fifteen of them were running with sweat streaming down their backs, their horses were exhausted, but none of them were feeling tired or tired at all, instead, they were no longer running, relaxed from the impatience of running, and threw themselves into a kind of generosity that was unrighteous, under the cover of the dark night, their faces became serious and serious. They looked into the Silver City, where fire was burning brightly, and it was extremely lively, as if they were not facing the enemy with killing intent, but were instead relaxed and enjoying themselves. Han Shizhong pulled on the reins of his horse, stopped the horse, and jumped off the horse. The fourteen people behind him were the only ones, so they naturally followed closely behind him, stopping the horse's hooves no longer. Out of caution, this caution was necessary, and in front of him was the Xicha's camp, it was so late at night and the surroundings were tranquil.

Han Shizhong did not tell everyone how to keep their voices low so that they would not make too much noise and reveal their whereabouts. They all felt at ease, and gently urged their horses into the middle of a grove of poplar trees, letting them feed and eat their grass and rest for a while. He tied his reins to the branches and tied himself to the dim light of the night in a place with lush vegetation.

He was only a hundred feet away from the enemy base's camp. He could clearly observe every single move of the Xicha, but of course, if he was not careful at night, it would be exposed, and it was a good thing that our enemy was in the dark, and it was convenient for us to take action. Borrowing the light from the enemy camp's bonfire, they arrived directly to the east, not daring to light any candles or make even the slightest sound, as they were afraid that their own actions would disturb the enemy camp. A small group of people were originally extinguished in an instant by the bonfire, and then lowered their bodies to the hillside.

Han Shizhong asked the person at the side: How is it? This is precisely the most important part of this battle — Silver City, is everyone interested? "

Someone at the side replied, "Big brother, why don't these Xicha feel any sadness? They should be paying their respects to the prince after he was killed. Why is it so strange?" The one who spoke was actually Jie Yuan.

He naturally knew that if some important figure among his people died or died, then he naturally had to pay his respects. Even if it was the case for ordinary people, it was a pity that Western Xia did not have the slightest bit of sadness or sorrow in the Silver City, but instead burned brightly in all directions, lighting up the entire front part of the camp as if it was daytime.

Han Shizhong said softly: "Actually this is not strange, if you want the Xicha to fall one after another, and even lose troops, this is how nervous people should be. There will be enough time to arrange a funeral and settle such trivial matters, and you are going to bring them back to the wilderness, to have them be buried in the limelight. Right now, there's only caution. " Even Ji Yong and the others thought that Han Shizhong's analysis was logical, so they listened to everything he said. They did not dare to get into an argument with him at this crucial moment, so they were not too interested in this small matter.

Jie Yuan understood and replied, "Oh, then what is big brother planning to do next?" Han Shizhong pondered for a moment, then said: "This place should be the closest to Old General Wu, and with this surprise attack, I'm afraid that General Liu will inform his father, I expect that the army is rushing here, it's not urgent, everyone has to travel extremely hard, and might as well wait for a while."

Liu Bao, Huyan Tong and Yue Chao were naturally anxious, they wished that they could immediately rush in and kill them. Without holding anything back, they urged: "Brother, why are you in such a rush to find a path, why do you have to overturn your horses? Why don't you just kill them with the army?" Yue Chao was the most impatient this time around, as he first snatched away Liu Bao's "first achievement".

Han Shizhong stopped his in his tracks. "What? If you want to do a good deed, there's no need for you to wait here with me. "They're not thinking about why the enemy is deploying so much. They're obviously waiting for us to enter their ambush and take us all out in one fell swoop."

Yue Chao was left speechless, he did not dare speak anymore, and quietly waited by the side. Liu Bao asked: "Big brother, then when is the best time to take action?"

Han Shizhong said softly, "Of course it is when the enemy's defenses relax." This …. Liu Bao did not dare to ask anymore, and also did not dare to carelessly listen to his orders.

Shi Binglong was also curious, this group of people did not go through all these difficulties just to explore and measure the strength of the enemy, right? It was a bit of a bluff and a waste of his talent. He muttered angrily in his heart, "What good plan? It's basically wasting our energy. I think it's just a false reputation."

Han Shizhong did not give any response, and knew that it would be inconvenient for him to confront them. After all, Shangguan Bing'er and the rest respected and respected Liu Shiguang's trusted aides, so he naturally understood the use and purpose of his actions. Li Shifu naturally understood that these fifteen people were not close to the outer city walls. Under the moat, they were already killed by a myriad of arrows, even if they had ten times the strength, this would be a difficult time for them to win and they would only lead to their own deaths. I had hurriedly resolved the encirclement and said: "What Big Brother Han meant is that if a person tries to put on a brave front, a hundred thousand, a million enemies will all come at once, but at this point, we would have to send our lives as an attack without any doubt. I am afraid that these fifteen people are not strong enough. "You can't act recklessly."

"Then, what General Li means is that we're all brutes?" Han Shizhong retorted coldly, as if he was enraged. Han Shizhong warned him in a low voice: "At this point in time, you still have the heart to argue and use force, I've already said it before, whoever thinks that they can do it, they can go and kill to their heart's content, I won't stop them, but can't you not implicate everyone, if you continue arguing I won't be polite to anyone." Although Yue Chao was angry, he still promised Han Shizhong that he would not go against it. He felt that it was in the wrong and did not dare to say a word more.

Han Shizhong then said, "Why aren't you learning by yourself? Where other people have experienced, it is naturally for me to follow my example. For example, in terms of courage, in terms of fighting strength, how can your big brother be my opponent?" Cheng Min was secretly happy, he did not dare make a sound, but he was ashamed. He did not expect that under normal circumstances, after indulging his brothers too much, he would lose face, and make a fool of himself, not to mention that Han Shizhong was not against a single person. Otherwise, he would have to reprimand his two brothers in private.

Liu Bao, Yue Chao's face and ears were flushed red, of course they would not dare to act rashly, but Shi Binglong, Wu Peng, Ji Yong and the others who were listening from the side, were proud to be able to come up with such a joke.

Han Shizhong apologized to Li Shifu softly: "Thank you Brother Li for your magnanimity. You don't need to mind my vulgar and unruly behavior, in the future, I should be able to ask you for advice on how to set up a battle formation."

Li Shifu courteously said, but he did not dare think too highly of himself, "Brother Han is too serious, this is normal. When we were young and became soldiers, everyone understood, if there is anything that we can do, we can all learn from each other and progress together."

Han Shizhong smiled continuously, nodded and replied: "Naturally, I do not have any good points, but I am good at making friends, and in the future, I will be a different kind of brother to Brother Li, so we can't be friends anymore."

Li Shifu was a little shocked, but still remained as stern and stern as before as he replied, "Did Big Brother Han forget that you had already created the Golden Orchid with me back then? Han Shizhong could only smile and nod his head, no longer trying to defend himself. He didn't want to misunderstand, so Li Shifu too was amused in his heart and didn't dare to make too much noise, afraid of causing a commotion.

Only after Han Shizhong made his subordinates quieten down did he let go of his doubts and worries, and began to organize the division of labor. But since the leader of the enemies did not appear, even if he did not have a target, it would still be difficult to launch a sneak attack. Suddenly, he decided that it would be better to lure the snake out of its cave than wait.

Therefore, Han Shizhong made such arrangements, "Brother Li, Lieutenant Shi, Vice Envoy Wu, Supervisor Ji, and even Brother Zhang, if you have the guts to arrange things this way, you might be overestimating yourself and you might even end up laughing." Among these people were generals who had led troops to battle in the past, bosses who were born under Liu Shiguang's command, trusted aides of Liu Shiguang, and people who had received favours from Han Shizhong in the past. Although an official was more important than Han Shizhong, they were still fond of him, and since Han Shizhong was polite and considerate, it was natural that he had very important matters to settle with everyone. No matter how much higher ranked officer was, or whether they were convinced that Han Shizhong had the most luck, it was all unimportant. With Liu Shiguang in peril and having to personally recommend this bold decision, it was only natural that this leader would belong to Han Shizhong, if anyone else had any grudges, jealousy, or hatred, they would all have to listen to him, not to mention the fact that this was a good opportunity to earn merits, and no one would want to fail this operation due to their differences.

Furthermore, he was not willing to give all his credit to Han Shizhong. Even if Han Shizhong were to die, he had to have an adequate excuse.

Han Shizhong had control over everyone's intentions, but since they were facing a great enemy, after considering it over carefully, he decided to let his brothers take the risk of death to do it, and let them take over the main fighting force, and hand over the top leadership positions to these people, it could be considered as doing their best, and he did not want to make too many enemies, affecting his future path.

The rest of the brothers listened to Han Shizhong and Li Shifu's orders, and like that, they thought it was fair. Moreover, it was with Shi Binglong and the rest's intentions, firstly, they voluntarily attacked the enemy's camp, and the matter of life and death had nothing to do with them, and secondly, Tong Guan himself wanted to remove this limitless obstruction, which could be considered as sweeping away a potential threat from Tong Guan. Thus, even if he failed, he would not lose his life, so he could only ignore the orders from Han Shizhong and the rest. For the past, there was only a long way to go.
