Chapter 86: Wind and Frost (5)(2/3)
"The chief said it many times during the meeting. No one thought he shouldn't win... But the current situation is afraid that the party who seeks to win is more likely to reveal flaws." Xu Shiying's words seemed a bit difficult, as if he was convincing himself at the same time. "You are not there in that battle, but the previous two days of chaos is enough to explain the problem... This kind of war is not afraid of offensive and defensive forces, not afraid of being split into battles, and only afraid of being annihilated... So it is very taboo to divide the troops and go deep into the enemy's back."
Shan Tonghai was silent for a moment before continuing to say, "I naturally have nothing to say. I just want to remind you, those who are in charge of the central government, that you must keep your best mind and must not put your hopes in the north and south, otherwise it will be done and you will be ashamed."
Everyone became more and more helpless, and the atmosphere was a little dry. It was not that Shan Tonghai's words were so deafening, but that they were almost calendered. Zhang Xing himself explained that many times, and if there was a chance on the front battlefield, he would never give up.
But there is no chance at the moment, so these words are back.
Several clerks and the military officers couldn't help but go to see Zhang Xing who was drinking porridge in the corridor.
The latter was helpless. If he didn't speak at this time, he would seem disunited. So he put down his bowl of porridge and said: "What Lao Dan said makes sense... Such a big battle cannot be done simply by perseverance. I am afraid that we will be perseverance and have no mistakes. People are forced to force themselves and kick them hard. If we break up at that time, we will be... we will be perseverance and will be a joke if our efforts are perseverance."
"So we still have to try some methods." Xu Shiying said. "Then let's try Han Yingong?"
"Han Yingong, Han Changmei tried it." Ma Wei interrupted. "You have to try other methods... But you really can't move a single dragon head. If we really lose here, we will expect you to save the situation."
Shan Tonghai became increasingly helpless: "I said that, I didn't mean that, I just wanted you to be more alert and never stick to it and don't know how to win!"
After all, I sat down with my hands spread out.
Most of the people around him were bitter-faced, but after drinking the porridge, Chief Zhang suddenly remembered something: "Have you ever been in the winter clothes?"
"In Ji County." Xu Dalang quickly agreed. "It has reached 80% and can be reached in the remaining four or five days. The only ones are the white coats of civilians... The King of Heaven went in person, and was about to send the red coats of reserve soldiers to the back first, and then bring the black coats of war soldiers to the war soldiers."
"That's right." Zhang Xing said solemnly. "If the opposite side launches a chaotic battle on the north bank of Qinshui, and then find a general like Xue Ren, and take advantage of the chaos to cover him and raid him to the rear. If the fire continues, we will definitely retreat in a panic and be defeated."
"It's really..." The other few people were fine, but Dan Tonghai's face changed a little.
"On the other hand," the horse said, "Can we find their winter clothes and burn them up?"
"It's not easy to deal with." Xu Shiying shook his head. "I thought that according to the current situation, their winter clothes must be in Hedong. According to the information, the Houying camp was a speech on spitting out of ten thousand longs, and the fish are in Hedong. Taiyuan is Wang Huaitong... If we want to burn their winter clothes, we either detour from Shangdang and fish in Wang Huaitong's belly to fish in Youluo, or wait for the moment when the winter clothes are sent out of the gate, and defeat Han Yingong and Han Changmei in succession to block the road."
"It's almost impossible?" Yan Qing spread his hands again.
"It's almost impossible, but you still have to pay attention. If you are really impatient, you really have to try it." Ma Wei said seriously. "It's the same as the ways we said that we can't go."
Han Yingong was trained to become a mouse who was very good at jumping ship as early as Cao Che's era. This was even more so after experiencing the collapse of the Great Wei Dynasty and the rise of the world. He did not dare to let himself be away from the winner's side.
So, he was shaken.
On the fourth day of the October 10th, the weather actually started to get hotter... Of course, this is normal, Xiaoyangchun.
On the morning of that day, Han Yingong received a military order, asking him to leave the city in plain clothes after the evening to conduct military discussions in the old Wen city in the central army camp... In response, Han Yingong calmly replied and asked his subordinates to prepare their usual clothes and armor to go out of the city to meet the emperor in the evening.
After all, shaken is just a shake of heart. Han Yingong is not a fool, so he does something or responds directly. Now he has a clear conscience, and even if he gets a place, he is beaten by Bai Hengqiu. He is also disgusted with his war inadequately, but he has entered the door with his right foot first. It has nothing to do with shakenness.
However, by the afternoon, it was not far from the time to set off, and an uninvited guest arrived in Hanoi City first.
The visitor was dressed in an ordinary armored cavalry and mixed between a team of patrol cavalry. He was Li Ding's eldest uncle and Han Yingong's brother, and now Han Changmei, Duke of the Great Ying Qiguo.
Han Yingong was a Guanlong style. Even though the two brothers had already had a grudge, they were still intimate and went out to meet each other and spoke happily. As for what Han Changmei was doing, he naturally received the order. Before going to see the emperor in the evening, he came over to see his brother... It was reasonable to say that it was too great to go.
Both sides entered Cangcheng, Hanoi City. The weather was hot, so they did not sit down in the hall, but set up tables in the open space. When the tea was served, Han Changmei hesitated for a moment, and indeed started from the family affairs: "Third brother, did Li Ke talk to you before leaving?"
Han Yingong paused for a moment and nodded immediately: "How can we not speak? After all, we are our own sister and nephew. Do we still have to close the door and not accept it? How did the second brother remember to ask this?"
"I just suddenly thought of it." Han Changmei sighed. "So what if we meet brothers, let alone relatives? Besides, this is the closest relative... Moreover, there were some taboos before, but now Bai Sanniang has started a war in the south, and Zhang Sanzi thief who is shouting to fight and kill on the other side is our Majesty's son-in-law. What else can I avoid? It is also because of this."
"No," Han Yingong nodded and sighed again. "Li Si is not bad. The capital of a mere county has been so scattered by him. This situation is even better than our brothers and the Li family."
"Didn't he say he was idle and deliberately threw him to the north?" Han Changmei was a little surprised.
"Maybe there is such a meaning, but he is the commander of the Xingtai, a leader, and has his own people under his command. His territory is also solid. Wouldn't it be free to be thrown into the north?" Han Yingong couldn't help but laugh. "Does the second brother not know the system of gang?"
Han Changmei smiled bitterly: "How do I know the system of gangs? I have been in Guanzhong and have never seen gangs... I'm going to say that I was placed on the side of Shishan, which is the last place. I don't even know the battle gangs, so I come to you."
Han Yingong shook his head and said, "What do I know? Even though I am on the front line, I am just guarding the city."
"With that being said, our brothers, who are you looking for?" Han Changmei was even more frowning. "The emperor would ask at night, but I can't even say anything... If I really go to find those people and get stumbled by someone, I might fall."
Han Yingong nodded and stood up: "Second brother, the helper's truth will not be able to explain clearly for a while. Go back and find someone who is in the information and ask yourself, I'll take you around and talk about the truth on the battlefield, so it's easy to explain it to the evening."
Han Changmei nodded naturally.
The two brothers tried a little and stopped. Han Yingong changed his clothes and ordinary iron armor in advance, and did not let his own people follow him. He went straight into his elder brother's queue and walked out.
When I went out to fight horses, I pretended to be a patrol cavalry, walked south first, and gave a introduction to the battle situation a few days ago along the battlefield. By the way, I will talk about the rumors in the army. Which leader's battalion is good and powerful, which leader and which battalion is a waste, how can everyone secretly exclude Xue Ren, who is rising rapidly, and how can Xue Liang be cowardly?
Then he walked northward, avoiding the military patrol team that actually controlled the old battlefield, and went downstream along Qinshui to spy on the military camp.
Soon, in the afternoon sun, they saw the so-called "one-night giant city", which led to the sluggish morale of the Kansai army and had to avoid the culprit of war.
To be honest, from the perspective of Qinshui River Bank, the background of this engineering trick can be clearly seen, because it is the flank, and those constructions cannot be visually unified, but instead they are like uneven pillars standing there.
But it seemed that because the sunlight in the west reflected the columns, the pillars were painted with a layer of gold, both Han Yingong and Han Changmei were fascinated by the sight.
Neither of them spoke, but they knew what the other party was thinking. Decades ago, when they were young men, they joined the army for the first time. They followed their elder brother to resist the invasion of the witch clan at the Poison Desert Pass. At that time, they used the plate building method to repair the damaged city. Han Bolong was very strict in his army. Even his two brothers could only go to the clay board with their arms bare hands... At that time, on such a warm evening, the two brothers stood up together, and were so tired that they lay back to back on the top of the city and scolded their elder brother for a long time.
As a result, decades have passed, but both sides dare not talk to each other, let alone scolding each other.
It was not until the evening that the two of them rode their horses to their own camp.
The place is still spectacular, but compared with the military camp that has been expanding and renovating, the Guanxi Army Camp has not changed significantly for several days. But soon, they realized that the emperor himself also noticed this because just in front of the Central Army Camp located east of Old Wen City, a huge platform rose rapidly under the leadership of some military masters.
And looking at the height of the Central Army's tent itself, you know that it has been working hard for two or three days.
"How high is it ready to get?" Han Yingong turned over and dismounted, looking at Bai Liben who came to greet him.
"It should be one hundred feet high." Bai Liben replied calmly. "Then lay the wooden boards, paste bricks and stones, set up the stairs, and then build the buildings and small buildings."
Han Yingong nodded: "There is no way, you have to respond, otherwise the morale of the army will be worrying."
Bai Liben nodded and said nothing.
When they entered the central army tent that was obviously semi-permanent, there were many people waiting in it. The Han brothers greeted Bai Hengyuan, Si Qinghe, Liu Yangji and others in turn, and then they found another face. After a while, they realized that it was Zhang Shiben, who had joined the East Capital before and had the first to join Guanxi, seemed to be a minister. He didn't know what he was responsible for in this battle, so why he was here again.
When a group of Kansai's powerful people gathered together, they would inevitably have messy contacts and sarcasm. But this is the place for the emperor and the grandmaster. No one could really express his feelings, or even if it was a purposeful expression, there would inevitably be traces of performance.
For a moment, this person talked about the cultivation level of a thief, and the other person talked about Sima Zheng's temper. You said that your sons in the camp suffered a lot of losses, and I said that my camp won more.
Xue Ren, who came to this occasion for the first time, looked around, but no one talked to him. Finally, he found a few dull duds in the corner who were neglected. He was standing there with his hands behind his back, looking at his age. As a result, he asked for his name, "Okay, one of them was named Xue Liang, and he didn't know if he should return the flag to others when he went back."
After a long time of trouble, the main owner finally appeared when the candles and braziers were lit inside and outside the tent.
Everyone dared not be negligent, just like they were in the court, bowing in their arms, saying "Your Majesty" and wishing you long live.
To be fair, the emperor Bai Hengqiu imitated was the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty and the two Sima family earlier. Not to mention anything else, simplicity is always true, and people will not call him any saints. Some of the atmosphere in Guanxi is also considered to have eliminated the silence of the Cao Che period before. In fact, Guanxi has adopted radical strategies similar to forced foundation building.
However, criticisms of the emperor's conservative, autocratic, and deep spirits were always heard, and the accusations of the corruption of Daying and the oppression of the people by the powerful and powerful Guanlong were never stopped.
As for the reason, I know it without asking. In addition to the dusk atmosphere, which can correspond to Bai Hengqiu's age, the other criticisms come from the comparison of the gang, and even the gang itself chatters and never stops criticizing and criticizing.
Of course, Kansai's ridicule of the gangs and the unidentified mobs also exists widely.
Now that the two armies collided, the two sides knew even more that their mockery was not made up... More importantly, if anyone wins in the future, the other family will have to be circulated for hundreds or thousands of years and cannot be covered.
In this way, the generals of Kansai started this round of military discussions almost like the military leaders on the opposite side, with complicated thoughts.
The content of the military discussion is very simple, how to win?
Obviously, this is a problem that both sides have to face, but the army has just shifted from defense to offense and is planning a new round of offense, so there is no need for an expanded meeting of this level to set the tone and discuss.
"Since that's the case, I'll talk first." Zhang Shiben, who appeared on this occasion for the first time, gave in and flashed straight out. "Your Majesty, I think the situation is in a serious way? You must not waver. Such national wars, even if they are bloody, they must decide the winner. If you care about gains and losses and consider them carefully, you will destroy yourself!"
This was very serious, and many people looked at it, but some people remained calm because they knew that Zhang Shiben had a handsome son like Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi, but he died at the helper and his attitude was naturally fierce.
Even this guy left Dongdu for the first time, it is said that it was because of Sima Zheng’s unwarranted appointment with the gang.
Bai Hengqiu was not angry, but nodded instead: "What Zhang Qing said makes sense, how should we do it?"
"I have two ways to relieve the pressure." Zhang Shiben said solemnly. "The key lies in Marshal Wei..."
"Master Wei?" Even though Bai Hengqiu was mentally prepared, he was a little surprised.
"Yes, as long as you defeat the main force of the army in person, defeat thirty of their main force battalions in one battle, and then chase into Yecheng, the world will be decided, and the victory or defeat in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River is insignificant." Zhang Shiben said earnestly. "So my urgent plan is to let Marshal Wei take advantage of his cultivation, throw himself down from the battlefield in the south, head straight to here, and grab a first move..."
"What then?" Bai Hengqiu had already rejected this urgent plan, but he still asked patiently.
"Then, we should prepare in advance here. Please give up the general, Yu Jiluo, and Wang Huaitong stayed here together. In this way, we can suddenly have one more grand master and three grand masters. Then Your Majesty personally supervised the formation as the vanguard, and with all his strength, you can win!" Zhang Shiben was excited and spit out his saliva.
Bai Hengqiu still patiently and continued to nod: "What about your slow plan?"
"Slowly make a move without waiting for Marshal Wei, only three masters from the north come here to come to the battle." Zhang Shiben said concisely.
Bai Hengqiu was the grandmaster, but he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to reply to the other party. The other generals also came to see this senior official from the Zhang family in Hedong as if they had seen a ghost.
Zhang Shiben seemed to notice the strangeness of everyone, thought for a while, and then added: "But if so, the old general Tu Wan must be commanded by the central army, and the upper and lower levels are integrated and attacked one after another to succeed!"
Bai Hengyuan never expected that things would turn to him, but the statement in the army that he was not as sarcastic as a child of a powerful man in the opposite direction was indeed very noisy, so he wanted to make a statement.
Bai Hengqiu saw it clearly on the top and quickly waved his hand to the interface: "It's indeed a way. Let's listen to the other people's ideas and discuss it together."
When Zhang Shiben heard this, he not only did not retreat, but instead knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you must be punished and will be in chaos. I am definitely not exaggerating. I love my son and die. Pay more attention to the thieves and know the madness of those who are crazy and perverse... Zhang San thieves bewitched the world, and the scholars and people of the Central Plains were moved by it. Even the mobs were trained by him like mud and burning bricks. It was like a joke to expect him to lose himself!"
Bai Hengqiu was slightly calmed down, and everyone around him calmed down again.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Shiben kowtowed again. "I know there is something in the army that I feel that half-subdued and half-ally will not help him; some people say that Li Ding was shelved or simply used to suppress the north; some people say that until now, there is no Youzhou thunder cavalry, but only one of the Youzhou masters Wei Dadao, who was born in Youzhou, was there, but there were many people in Hejian. It can be seen that the army had just subdued other places, and it was really mobilized and managed only to reach the Hutuo River... But I have to say that this is all bullshit! The army was just because of the narrow battlefield and could not use all its strength, so it simply hid and misled us. Once they opened up the situation from northern Shanxi and south of Jiangnan, it would be unstoppable!"
At this point, Zhang Shiben kowtowed again, and his words were extremely sincere: "Your Majesty! Now is the best opportunity. While he is unprepared, he is careless and only uses these troops. We will win in one battle. Otherwise, if we fight them step by step, we will only lose all the money!"
This was even more outrageous. Bai Hengqiu finally couldn't hold on and frowned slightly.
Bai Hengyuan couldn't bear it and stepped forward with his knife: "Mr. Zhang, let me ask more, our current situation is always the pattern of the Western Wei versus the Eastern Qi Dynasty? Dong Qi still had the Dongdu back then. At the beginning, Dong Qi entered the pass and attacked us. Didn't we win in the end? Why did we take the initiative to attack them now, but we were weak at the beginning?"
"No," Han Changmei also interrupted. "If Mr. Zhang pointed to the principle of forced foundation building, and said that in the next few years, they will have more and more practitioners, or in Youzhou and the north, they will say that they will be able to control the situation in the future and their power will become stronger and stronger, so they will not win this time. We will suffer for two or three years in the future. I will admit it... But aren't we the advantage now? Even in the previous battle, we attacked the arrow formation. They used all the means to defend the situation in a embarrassed manner. Why are you talking about losing all the time at this time if you can't win?"
To be continued...
