Chapter 180 Intimidation
Chapter 180: Intimidation
After receiving the summons from Xue Bing, Wang Ping immediately got on his horse and rushed to the north gate. As soon as he arrived at the north gate, he entered the burned house and the soldiers who were busy back and forth.
After looking around, he could only hear the soldier who came to call him and said to him: "General Wang, General Xue is in this room." After hearing this, Wang Ping nodded to the soldier, then greeted the soldier standing guard by the door and walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xue Bing sitting on the top. At this time, he was looking at another person in the house with a serious expression on his face.
The man was tied into a zongzi by a rope, and two other soldiers stood beside him. He pressed him tightly to the ground, and could only kneel down and never get up.
Xue Bing was asking when he suddenly saw Wang Ping coming in and said hurriedly: "Zijun is here."
Wang Ping took a few steps forward, stood in front of Xue Bing, clasped his fists and asked, "I don't know what is the important thing for the general to call Ping in a hurry?"
When Xue Bing heard this, his face turned right and said hurriedly: "There is a heavy task left to Zijun. Zijun should do it quickly. If it is late, things will not be accomplished."
Wang Ping said respectfully: "General, please give me instructions."
Xue Bing nodded, but glanced at Xin Chang secretly. Seeing that his face was not changing, he glanced at the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "I don't believe you, a boy, have such good cultivation."
"He turned his gaze and looked at Wang Ping and said, "That's why Mr. Xin told me that Cao's soldiers will attack the city later. Zijun should quickly lead the elite soldiers to lie on both sides of the north gate. Just wait for Cao's soldiers to arrive and then they can come out."
While speaking, his eyes turned to look at Xin Chang again. Sure enough, he saw his face slightly change, and he seemed very surprised. His eyes unconsciously looked at Xue Bing.
Seeing Xin Chang's appearance, Xue Bing was even more sure of his guess. Without waiting for Wang Ping to ask questions, he continued: "The soldiers from the North Gate. All the soldiers returned to the north are dispatched, and all the matters are all relying on the Zijun. As for this general, we will wait for Cao's troops to arrive at the North Gate tonight.
"Then he called Wang Ping to his body and whispered a command.
After giving the order, he waved his hand to signal Wang Ping to go out. Although Wang Ping didn't know much about the details, he himself understood what his superiors ordered. He just needed to do it well, especially in the army.
After Wang Ping left the house, he turned to Xin Chang: "I thank you Mr. Xin for telling me such a major military event. Otherwise, if the Chang'an that I was about to be won, I will be extremely guilty of the general."
When Xin Chang heard this, he raised his neck and said, "I don't understand what the general said! How can I tell the general about such a big thing?"
Xue Bing laughed and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Husband, how could I know that my guess is correct?"
After hearing this, Xin Chang suddenly understood. It turned out that Xue Bing said those words in front of him, and was simply trying on himself in secret. If he showed a little bit of surprise, it would prove that his guess was correct.
If he is not surprised when things happen, he may still be a little uncertain. He will not be so happy when giving orders.
Thinking through these things clearly, Xin Chang felt that he was being pinned in his hands and played casually like a fool. He was so stuffy in his chest, but he was helpless. He could only kneel there, and at most he used an angry look to vent his dissatisfaction.
I looked up and looked at Xue Bing sitting upright on it. I saw her smiling face. She was very beautiful and not burly in shape. She really didn't look like a famous general.
However, the armor on his body was stained with a lot of undried blood stains, which told everyone that his martial arts were not as weak as he looked on.
At this time, Xue Bing also found that Xin Chang was glaring at him. He looked back at him. Xin Chang and Xue Bing looked at each other, feeling that breathing became much more difficult. He hurriedly lowered his head and moved his eyes away.
Xin Chang, who felt better, suddenly remembered what his sister Xin Xianying said to him: "Xue Bing is a famous general in the world. He first helped the King of Hanzhong to seize Jingzhou, and then followed the army into Sichuan, and led troops to guard Jiameng. Even Ma Chao was unable to enter.
The King of Hanzhong had enough time to seize Xichuan. Later, he conquered Hanzhong and pacified the Southern Barbarians, and most of them had military achievements. He was very famous and was the most powerful general in front of the King of Hanzhong's tent. It was not something you and I could do.
Now I want to take charge of the city so that the return of troops can capture Chang'an again, which is not feasible. Moreover, if things fail, it is very easy to trap Xin's family in the midst of water and fire."
But I didn't listen to this at that time.
After all, he was only in his early twenties and was still a young man. He was in a state of unyielding momentum. Xin Xianying's words not only did not let him get rid of his thoughts, but instead made him have the idea of defeating Xue Bing.
When Xin Xianying saw that his younger brother had made up his mind to act, he said to him: "If you want to cause trouble now, you should paralyze Xue Bing first so that he would not pay attention to the movements of our mansion. At the same time, he secretly contacted other families in the city and asked him to help him.
And I won’t leave the mansion in the past few days, so as not to let Xue Bing see something abnormal.”
After all, he was his own family. When Xin Chang decided to seize the city gate from the city so that the return troops could enter the city, Xin Xianying began to give him advice wholeheartedly.
After getting along with Xue Bing, the entire Xin Mansion showed a calm look and performed a normal routine every day, so Xue Bing did not notice any abnormalities.
On these days, various guards gathered around the north gate. Many houses were vacated out there as places where these people gathered. These things can naturally be easily done with the power of these wealthy families.
As for setting fires everywhere, disrupting the attention of the defenders, and then taking advantage of the chaos to seize the North Gate, it was indeed Xin Chang's plan to do so.
It can be said that if Xue Bing hadn't been bored and went out to wander around the streets. He happened to meet Xin Chang who was rushing to the north gate to prepare for the matter, maybe all this would have been successful.
Because of this coincidence, Xue Bing sent his personal guards to follow Xin Chang to follow him and were discovered by secret whistles scattered around when he followed the north gate.
This made Xin Chang know that his actions had been discovered and that without preventing accidents, he set off a fire in advance and wanted to seize the North Gate in advance.
In his opinion, as long as the North Gate is captured, and then people will run out of the city to find the troops, ask them to speed up and arrive in Chang'an earlier.
But I didn't expect Xue Bing to react so quickly, and the combat power of the North Gate defenders was completely beyond Hu Xinchang's expectations.
Although he had improved the combat power of Liu Bei's army as much as possible before the incident, he did not expect that the city gate defenders with more than 300 people would actually protect the city gate under the siege of more than a thousand people.
At the same time, he didn't expect that Xue Bing would rely on the fast horse. He rushed to the north gate alone, shared the pressure of the defenders, and bought enough time for the subsequent reinforcements...
Kneeling on the ground, the numbness of his legs brought Xin Chang back to reality while thinking about it.
After moving a little, his legs could be better. Then he looked up at Xue Bing, wondering why he didn't let his left and right take him down, kill him or lock him up. How could he make himself kneel here endlessly?
Xue Bing suddenly said, "I have always found something strange. According to my speculation, this Cao army could not have come from Chen Cang, so it could have been dispatched from Qin Chuan and Xu Huang's troops."
"If this is the case, based on the distance, they can arrive here today, proving that they had learned that Chang'an had been lost early. In other words, our army had just captured Chang'an for a few days. Xu Huang learned about the situation here.
What method did you do it? In such a short time, you sent the news from Chang'an to Qinchuan, and contacted a soldier and set up this plan.
Xin Chang didn't answer, but just knelt there with his mouth closed tightly.
Xue Bing saw this.
He didn't care, but just smiled and said softly: "I will let you say it!" He used his hand to remove the helmet, scratched his head, but he said inadvertently: "Xin's mansion now seems to be in charge of the Miss Xin.
I will see that Miss Xin seems to be easy to talk to. After a while, I will go to find Miss Xin for a long talk. I think Miss Xin is willing to say what I want to know. "
I went to see Xin Chang secretly, and saw that his face was a little moved, so I added: "This is the location! I see that the bedroom behind this is quite clean, which is very suitable for a long conversation..."
Xin Chang is not stupid, nor is he a fool without human affairs.
When Xue Bing said this, he didn't understand what it meant? A man wanted to bring a young woman to the bedroom at night. What did he want to do? What could he do? The two of them put a table of food and then had a long conversation? Who believes it? At least Xin Chang doesn't believe it.
He shouted loudly: "Xue Bing! If you dare to touch my sister, I will definitely eat your meat raw!"
Xue Bing was not upset, but shook his finger and said, "Mr. Xin is too excited. I just want to find Miss Xin for a long talk. I ask some of my confusions.
How could he touch it at all?" Finally, he added: "Of course, if Mr. Xin is willing to solve his doubts, he will naturally not have to worry about Miss Xin."
When Xin Chang heard this, he knew that Xue Bing was threatening her sister, but she was helpless. While he was hesitating, Xue Bing shouted loudly to the left and right: "Go and invite Miss Xin to come and talk!" He hurriedly shouted, "Slow! I'm... I'm willing to solve the general's doubts..." The word slow was full of momentum. Unfortunately, at the last sentence, the sound was almost like a mosquito, which made people not very sincere.
Seeing Xin Chang being soft, Xue Bing laughed loudly in her heart, but she only had a slight smile on her face, as if she had expected that she would say that.
In fact, Xue Bing was also very nervous. He didn't know what Xin Xianying's status was in the eyes of the Xin family. He just saw that Miss Xin was the one who talked to him a few days ago, and he thought she was an important figure in the Xin family.
If he really has no status, even if he tied him up, he would probably not let him go. However, it seems that Xin Xianying seems to have a good status in the Xin Mansion, so he has bet right.
What Xue Bing spent so much effort to know is actually the connection between Xin's family and Cao's army. If he can't know it, it will undoubtedly leave a huge hidden danger in future battles.
At least in this era without communication equipment such as telephone and telegraph, the time of information transmission will directly affect the final result of a battle.
