Qin Official

"Heifu, why did you raise your troops to rebel against the Qin Dynasty and abandon the First Emperor? You made the people suffer so much!" A cry came from the north bank.

Nan'an responded tit-for-tat: "In that case, why would Marquis Tongwu help Zhou to perpetrate his crimes? He would rather let the country turn into ruins, but he would also prevent us from going north to Jingnan and rescue the common people in Guanzhong?"

As both sides asked questions, the cross-river dialogue came to an abrupt end. What was disappointing was that from beginning to end, there were no new lines or even nutrition.

At the end of the day, the people on the north bank read aloud an "Essay against the Rebellious Hei Fu" written by an unknown person, promoting the court's rent reduction policy, and declaring that Hei Fu had no king and no father, a heinous crime, and promised that "he will get the black man." The leader of the husband will be granted a thousand households, a reward of tens of millions of dollars, and he will help the generals, school officials and soldiers to surrender, so don’t ask any questions."

But the people in the south had long since disbelieved the court's promise. This appeal was met with boos from the south bank. Hei Fu also immediately asked people to read loudly the appeal to the Northern Expedition that Lu Jia had drafted in the past. He publicized the scandal of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's regicide and self-reliance, and also used color.

For a moment, Yayan left the stage, and the conversation turned into a shouting match in northern and southern dialects. In the end, both sides could no longer understand what the other was shouting, and they only competed with each other to see who was louder.

Unfortunately, there were many people on the north bank, and the soldiers in Xiangyang City were slightly inferior. The captain was so angry that he yelled and asked people to bring water up, and asked everyone to drink and continue to curse.

"Save your energy."

Heifu shook his head. He was quite satisfied with the conversation, because he confirmed a piece of information from the other party's response:

"Those words just now are definitely not what Wang Ben said."

Yuan Yong on the side said doubtfully: "Didn't Wang Ben answer the call? He also talked about some old things with the commander-in-chief. Why is the commander-in-chief so sure?"

"Of course I know." Heifu sighed: "Have you ever heard that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers? Two tigers don't have to meet. They can smell each other across a mountain."

"But others couldn't hear the conversation just now, but I know that Wang Ben was not the one to say it... For example, he would never consider himself an elder and call me 'ruzi'."

Heifu and Wang Ben are not close friends, but they have known each other for many years.

Fifteen years ago, in the 22nd year of the Qin Dynasty, Heifu served as the commander of the camp under Wang Ben. He participated in the siege of Daliang. He also transported grain and fodder from Waihuang County to the army. He witnessed the collapse of Liang City. It was really shocking. Inexplicable. Later, he watched the king of Wei tie himself up with fake meat, lead the sheep and hold the grass, and surrender to Wang Ben.

At that time, Heifu knew the general Wang Ben, but Wang Ben did not recognize the soldier Heifu.

The first meeting between the two parties was seven years ago. When Heifu went to Jiaodong to serve as a county governor, he met Marquis Tongwu in Linzi, who was guarding Qi.

I especially remember that it snowed that day, and Wang Ben's burly figure stood in the courtyard, dressed in mysterious clothes and wearing a Wu Bian crown, decorated with a mink tail.

Although Heifu treated him as a junior, Wang Ben did not treat him as an elder. He was a county guard and a county governor at every turn - he was a man who knew his own sense of proportion.

The two talked about some ideas for governing the land that day. The next day, news came that Wang Jian had died of illness. Wang Ben hurriedly returned westward and never saw each other again.

To this day, separated by a river, when armies meet, either you die or I die!

Hei Fu sighed: "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I can't even imagine what Wang Ben and I will say when we meet again."

The scene must be awkward, right?

"But according to what I know about Wang Ben, it is more likely that he did not say any nonsense, but instead waved the flag and responded to me with a fierce attack..."

For a man of action like Wang Ben who talks less but does more, words are an insult and talking more is useless. What he wanted to say to Hei Fu, whether it was regret, confusion, or anger, was all contained in the spear!

And Heifu should do his best to deal with it. This is the greatest respect for Wang Ben.

"So, there was someone in the enemy camp who was imitating Wang Ben's tone throughout the whole process, but in the end, it was a little bit worse."

After listening to Heifu's analysis, Captain Gong asked, "Commander, so Wang Ben is not in the camp on the other side?"

"How do you know he's not here?"

But Heifu shook his head and said: "This is the most troublesome thing. What is false is real, and what is real is false. The Wang family is a master of this trick. He hid himself. Now, Wang Ben may be anywhere, Xinye , Tangbaihe, Suixian..."

He pointed to the other side: "Including that!"

"Ah?" Lieutenant Gong and others looked at each other, really not understanding the situation.

But Heifu secretly cursed: "Those who are good at attacking don't know where the enemy is defending. He is really an invincible Marquis of Tongwu. This bad old man is very bad!"

…

"Everything is as ordered by Marquis Tongwu."

Gantang returned to Fancheng and prostrated himself before Wang Ben.

"I heard it all."

Wang Ben was really in the camp, but he deliberately didn't reply just now and asked Gan Tang to do it for him.

He stared at the map without raising his head, stroking his beard and said: "You responded very well and tried hard to imitate my usual tone. But those who really know me know that Wang Ben has been dull since he was a child. He talks little and does not do much. He will waste a lot of words with others."

"Hei Fu is testing me. Whether I'm here or not, he will succeed. The best way is to make him unable to figure out and guess. In this way, Hei Fu will not be able to figure out where I am."

Gantang was a little confused: "Marquis Tongwu told me before that he wanted to make a big splash here and make an offensive, so that the partial troops who followed Tang Suidao to attack Suixian could make meritorious service. If this is true, let Heifu be sure that the general is here. Wouldn’t it be better?”

Wang Ben smiled and said: "How can a black man not guess the tricks that a brat like you can see through?"

"Although I have only met him once, I have been paying attention to this person during my free time in the court. Heifu is a cautious person and will never relax his guard elsewhere just because I am here."

"There are passes all around the mountains and rivers in the county. They are almost as dangerous as bird paths and sheep intestines. There are hundreds of miles of mountain roads. It is difficult to attack from the south or the north. If Heifu arranges 10,000 people to defend them, I will We have to send 30,000 people to attack, but we may not be able to succeed.”

"Even if Suixian County is captured, Anlu in the south is already a deserted land. If you are walking in the wilderness, even food will be a problem. It is not conducive for the army to penetrate deeply, but it will be easily attacked by Ming'e and Hengshan soldiers. Besides, , I went south to quell the rebellion this time, in order to annihilate the enemy and win quickly, rather than to recover some empty counties."

Gantang nodded: "Then Marquis Tongwu wants to..."

Wang Ben stood up and said: "Soldiers are deceitful. Therefore, they show their inability when they are able, they show their inability when they are in use, they show how far they are when they are close, and they show how close they are when they are far."

"confuse."

"cheat."

"True and false, false and true."

"Sometimes I have to deliberately expose my flaws to let the enemy think that he has guessed my plan and mobilize his troops, but he doesn't know that he has fallen into a trap. Then he will deceive him again, and finally launch an attack from his most careless place to win the victory. Power!"

There are no fixed tricks, all fighting opportunities are the result of savings, and victory or defeat can only happen in an instant.

"If two good generals are facing each other, they will try to deceive each other and scheming with each other. Fortunately, I have twice as many troops as Heifu."

Gantang was completely dumbfounded: "General, where exactly do our troops want to attack?"

"Everywhere!"

Wang Ben spread out the map, which was covered with circles he drew with a red pen.

Gantang took a breath: "This..."

He clearly saw that from Zigui Jiangguan in the west, to Yilu Township at the northern foot of Jingshan Mountain, to the long Tangbai River, and Suixian County, they were all the attack points marked by Wang Ben...

"On the first day of August, several partial divisions will follow our military orders and attack various places at the same time. The number may range from tens of thousands to thousands, but they will make Heifu's defense line panic everywhere."

"But the real main point of attack is only one place."

Wang Ben walked out of the tent, pointed to the other side and said:

"Starting from tomorrow, the camp will start adding stoves! Let the people who build the water village and cut the bamboo rafts move more aggressively, and do these things in front of the rebels."

"I want to make Mr. Hei feel that I really don't want to attack Xiangyang. I deliberately made a big show here and secretly mobilized troops to move south from other places. In fact, I neither increased nor reduced the troops. I mobilized them outside during the day." People, come back at night. No matter whether Heifu maintains Hannan's troops or not, he will be in a dilemma when Heifu from all over the country comes to him for help in early August!"

"Xiangyang is hard to defeat, I admit it." Wang Ben stroked his beard and smiled.

"But the first is to attack the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the second is to attack the city. This time, Wang Ben will not attack the city."

"Only attack people!"
