[Two hundred and sixty-eight] sneak attack in disguise
The wind blew the dust and sand, rushing towards the green forest, swelling out a fragrance, filled with the breath of spring, drifting to the small town not far away, bringing hope.
Chenggeya was in the border city, and under the full guidance of Zhao Fu and Qian Hui, he found out the many crimes committed by Deng Qing. He sat in the hall of the prefect's mansion, looked at the Wenzong books piled up on the desk, and was extremely angry. He picked up the tea bowl at his hand and threw it on the ground, and said furiously: "Implementation, I didn't expect that this great and famous Protector General's Mansion, which is full of military achievements, was actually obtained in this way? If Deng Qing did not commit suicide in the capital this time, I am afraid that all the land and soil on the border of the northern part would be handed over to the Xiongnu! Isn't this equivalent to the surrender of the Great Wei army? No wonder the Xiongnu have such ambitions... Dare to invade the Great Wei border like this. Deng Qing is really hateful!"
Zhao Fu and Qian Hui sat on the side of him, holding an ink pen in their hands, drawing on the spreading file. When they heard a violent sound of the pottery bowl shaking, they trembled. Seeing the Chengge Cliff being so irritated, they looked at each other and immediately stood up and said, "Fortunately... you are here to take charge of the overall situation this time, otherwise the military defense on the northern border would be in chaos."
"General of the City, we beg! Please remove all the foundations that Deng clan has laid in the north, and lead the brothers to take back all the green grass and land he sold! Give me a peaceful place for the herdsmen on the border!"
Zhao Fu and Qian Hui each held their brushes, knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and bowed solemnly: "If the situation of Deng thief cannot be eliminated, such a thing will definitely happen again in the future."
Chenggeya said angrily: "This is natural! This general will never let Deng thieves escape a fish that escapes the net! This side city should be completely purged, otherwise wouldn't we think that our Wei Dynasty is like Deng Qing, who is vain and greedy for me and vulnerable?"
Zhao Fu mentioned at the right time: "General, the last general and Qian Hui were in love with Deng. For many years, he has been secretly collecting evidence of his crimes because of his many actions. Finally, when he left the border town to report his duties last year, he caught the confidants of the two guardian generals' mansions.
These two people are Deng Qing's personal guards and have been helping him deal with some matters that cannot be seen. They are very clear about Deng Qing's forces in the north. With their evidence, they will surely be able to completely remove the filth in the north.
But... Deng Qing was really cunning. He found out in private that Qian Hui and I were secretly investigating him, and they intended to silence the two of them. Fortunately, we received the help of the governor of Yongzhou, rescued the two guards and sent them out of the north, and hid them somewhere else for the time being."
Chenggeya asked: "Where are these two people now?"
Zhao Fu: "Mo Jiang and Qian Hui sent them to Jianye. There were old friends of the Mo Jiang there, and some brothers in the world who were guarding them, which could protect their lives."
"Jianye?" Chenggeya narrowed his eyes, touched his chin and thought carefully, and said, "Okay, very good. This will also prevent the remaining forces of Deng Qing from destroying witnesses in order to save his life."
"Your Majesty still needs to report this matter to His Majesty. If you want to take someone peacefully, you must ask for an imperial edict to solve all worries."
Chenggeya Niannian said: "The war in the north has settled. After handling many affairs of Changming's army, our army needs to return to Beijing as soon as possible to submit a report. I wonder if the two generals are willing to return to Beijing with us and explain everything about the border city?"
Zhao Fu bowed with his fists and said sincerely: "The last general will take the order, and once the general's instructions are instructed, he will definitely report everything about the general's border town."
Chenggeya nodded and continued, "Those alone are not enough. If you want to completely eradicate Deng Qing's power, the two witnesses hidden in Jianye may go to Beijing and meet His Majesty with General Zhao, and this matter will be safe."
Zhao Fu immediately replied: "Don't worry, General. The last general will send a message to Jianye tomorrow, asking old friends from the world to escort the two of them to Kyoto. He will arrive in Luoyang when the army returns to the court."
"Okay, okay." Chenggeya said with satisfaction: "In this way, we can feel at ease. We will first deal with all the affairs of the border town, regain the lost land, and then organize the army."
He stood in the hall and paced back and forth, frowned and pondered the matter: "The turf sold by Deng Qing was mostly along the deep valleys and mountains on the other side of the Cang River. Now it has been occupied by the Huns, so it is probably not easy to invade. Our army has been on a battle for many days, and after another plague attack, its vitality has not yet recovered. If we use force at this time, the chances of victory are not very high, and it is possible to lose the soldiers and generals again."
Qian Hui said at this time: "General, although the turf being sold has been lingered and defended by the Huns, if we attack strongly and quickly, with the terrain of Canghe, we still have an advantage."
Chenggeya shook his head and said, "You are talking about this principle. However, although the Huns returned from a great defeat, they lost their morale, but they were finally holding back a sense of depression and anger. They would definitely defend strictly. In the eyes of the Huns, they were obtained through transactions. They naturally regarded it as their own land. If we attacked for a strong force, it would be equivalent to invading their territory.
This is equivalent to re-intensifying the conflict between the Great Wei and the Huns. At that time, the fight will not only be the soldiers of the Huns, but also the Huns who have settled on the other side of the Canghe River. Birds are poor and beasts are poor and barren.
Similarly, if people are forced into desperate situations, they will fight for the backbone. Even if you die, they will defend their homeland. If our army accidentally kills the civilians of the Xiongnu in order to protect themselves, it will cause unpredictable consequences. If the coalition forces of various countries confronted Lin Song's army on the border of Liangzhou, if they get this news, they will have a reason to attack the Great Wei. Then... we will not only lose the pasture and turf on the other side of the Canghe River."
Qian Hui was silent and lowered his head to think about this matter. As Chengge Cliff said, the risk of a strong attack was too great. Zhao Fu silently lowered his eyes, frowned, and could not think of a good way to get the land back for a while.
After a while in the hall, Chengge Cliff suddenly said, "Although you can't use force attacks, maybe... you can use other methods to make these Xiongnu herders take the initiative to abandon the turf and leave."
Zhao Fu said in surprise: "Is there any good way for the general?"
Chenggeya: "The people in the Central Plains are afraid of ghosts and gods, so the Huns naturally have things they are afraid of."
Qian Hui asked: "Is the general who wants to..."
Chenggeya did not answer positively, but reminded them: "I will ask the two generals for one thing."
Zhao Fu and Qian Hui looked at each other with confusion, but they still bowed together and replied, "It's okay to say it." The majestic middle-aged man turned his steps gently, walked towards his desk, and carried his hands on his back, whispered: "I hope the two generals will each select two teams of agile soldiers, ten people in a group, and look for the tailor shop in the city to tailor them to tailor twenty sets of grassland people's regular clothes.
In addition, these twenty people were ordered to learn the living habits of the Huns and control the equipment used by the herdsmen. Seven days later, they ordered them to pack their luggage, and hike to the bank of the Canghe River in the middle of the night to cross the river quietly. They avoided the patrol troops of the Huns and hid in the corridor of the Baidao Canyon, waiting for an opportunity to act."
Qian Hui was just puzzled: "What is the general doing like this?"
Zhao Fu listened without saying a word, turned his eyes, as if he had figured out something.
After a while, he asked softly: "Does the general want these twenty people to sneak into the felt camp of the Xiongnu herders and disrupt their daily routine?"
Chenggeya nodded slightly: "About this, as for... what I will do, the two generals will wait and see."
Qian Hui scratched the black hair slit and muttered in his heart. Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, he still responded with Zhao Fu.
The two men had a great vision of training soldiers. They quickly selected twenty people according to the requirements of Chengge Cliff, and asked them to tailor their clothes with the tailor they found. They also found two captive soldiers from the Huns to teach the customs and etiquette of the grassland.
After five or six days, these soldiers acted exactly the same as those of the Huns under Zhao Fu's strict training. If they were not carefully distinguished, they would not be able to tell that they were from the Central Plains.
Chenggeya came to see it in person and couldn't help but exclaim: "I guess General Zhao must have been very careful in training the soldiers, so that these soldiers and the Hun soldiers are difficult to distinguish between true and false. Very well, this is the effect I will get."
Zhao Fu received praise and said humbly and politely: "The General's praise is your advice. I will treat it with all my heart."
"Okay. Then you guys, let me have a secret talk with me."
Chenggeya turned his head and instructed the twenty people, then turned around and headed to his tent. The twenty soldiers followed Chenggeya into the tent immediately after Zhao Fu's nodding and agreed.
Qian Hui stood beside Zhao Fu, looking at him with a calm face, couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Did you... have guessed what the general is going to do?"
The young man beside him smiled and avoided the topic and said, "You just wait. If you don't have half a month, the turf sold by Deng Qing on the other side of the Canghe River will inevitably return to our hands."
Qian Hui was confused when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "I don't know what the abacus you and the general are. There are only twenty people. What can we do if they disrupt the daily lives of those herders?"
Zhao Fu laughed without saying a word, and walked away from the schoolyard, rushed into the crowd, and silently trained soldiers.
Qian Hui stood there, trying to get close to the tent of Chengge Cliff and listen to what was going on, but was stopped by someone and couldn't get close to him. In desperation, he had to leave and followed Zhao Fu to the schoolyard.
