Han Qihai nodded, took another sip of tea, and then said: "Zhao Shifei, the general of the left forward at that time, immediately asked to lead his troops to withdraw when he saw this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Zhao Shifei?" Liu Shuangli was stunned, this name is so familiar, where have you heard it?

Han Qihai looked at Liu Shuangli's thoughtful appearance and smiled: "Zhao Shifei is the current Xuanhua chief soldier." ”

"Ah, it's him, no wonder!" Liu Shuangli was surprised, "Could it be that he is also one of the thirteen people who escaped and survived in the Battle of Wolf Mountain that year?"

"He is not, and he can't be. There can't be an incumbent general soldier in the North League. Han Qihai shook his head, "Besides, Zhao Shifei didn't participate in the Battle of Wolf Mountain back then. ”

"He's not involved, but—"

"Because he returned ahead of schedule. Han Qihai took over and said, "That year, outside the Saiwai, after Zhao Shifei's request to withdraw was vetoed by the Chinese army, he took his own part of 3,000 people to break away from the army and returned alone. ”

"It's ......"

"Zhao Shifei's move should be punished according to military regulations. But in the end, because of his early return, he kept the strongest iron cavalry in the department, and afterwards, Zhao Shifei won the court's commendation and praised him for his foresight. After Zhang Chengzhong was convicted of treason and collaboration with the enemy, Zhao Shifei was naturally promoted to three levels in a row and became the current Xuanhua General Army. The 3,000 cavalry led by Zhao Shifei, plus the 5,000 infantry who stayed in Xuanhua at that time, have become the most important defensive force in Xuanhua City now. ”

When Han Qihai said this, his tone was deliberately extremely flat, and the afterglow of his eyes only occasionally glanced at Liu Shuangli. And when he recounted these past events from the beginning, most of the time he was staring at the boy Qin Siyang, who had been bowing his head and not saying a word.

At this moment, Han Qihai's gaze was even more inseparably staring at Qin Siyang.

Feeling Han Qihai's overly focused gaze, Qin Siyang raised his head and looked back at him.

The two looked at each other, and Han Qihai's face immediately showed an elegant smile, and he hurriedly asked, "This little brother, you don't know what to think of this?"

"Me?" Qin Si raised his eyebrows and frowned.

"Well, when I didn't mention Xuanhua's troops, the little brother analyzed a lot of unfavorable causes and mutual factors, and in fact, it was really as the little brother said. So now, I've finished talking about what happened back then, I don't know how my little brother feels about it?" Han Qihai said this very sincerely, and people had to praise him for his modesty and courtesy, and he actually asked a child who was only ten years old so polite and virtuous.

But when Qin Siyang heard it, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

The boy thought about it for a long time, and finally his desire to know the truth of the incident overcame the bad premonition.

"I don't have any opinion," Qin Siyang said, "I just want to know, is what Han Gongzi said true?"

"Well, Han San swears to the sky, these are the closest to the truth among such rumors. Han Qihai chuckled.

Qin Si raised his eyebrows and tightened again: "Han Gongzi knows a lot. ”

"As long as you have a heart, you can always know. Han Qihai said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

"What about those numbers?" Qin Siyang asked.

"What number?" Han Qihai asked rhetorically.

"Sixty thousand troops. Qin Siyang nodded directly.

"Uh, what's wrong with that?" asked Han Qihai pretending to be puzzled.

Qin Siyang's lips moved, he met Han Qihai's provocative and playful gaze, and paused: "I heard a saying before, saying that the army that Zhang Chengzhong brought out of the fortress six years ago was only 20,000 people. And half of the 20,000 people were temporarily recruited, and they lacked combat effectiveness, which is why this battle was lost so miserably. ”

Han Qihai raised his eyebrows: "I don't know where I heard the term "little brother." ”

"My teacher said that. ”

"I don't know what to call the little brother's teacher?"

Qin Siyang's face sank: "This Han Gongzi doesn't have to know. ”

Seeing this, Liu Shuangli immediately pulled the boy reproachfully and called him lightly.

Qin Siyang ignored Liu Shuangli's reproach and withdrew his right hand.

Han Qihai didn't care, he just nodded.

Qin Siyang looked at him coldly.

But seeing Han Qihai, he smiled lightly and said, "Does that little brother think that the numbers I said are wrong?"

Qin Siyang replied coldly: "I don't know. ”

Han Qihai stared at Qin Siyang and said, "Isn't the little brother very good at analysis, then did you not expect that an army of only 20,000 people could attack outside the fortress? Zhang Chengzhong, as the chief soldier of Xuanhua at that time, would not even understand this bit of military common sense?"

"Yes......" Qin Siyang frowned, but this was a question that he had always had in his mind after hearing the data reported in this battle. His teacher, when he said this, was also noncommittal.

Han Qihai smiled again, "Sixty thousand, for an attack outside the Saiwai, is already very insufficient." Therefore, Zhang Chengzhong faced such a number of people after making up his mind to attack. In desperation, he had to ask Jizhou for help, so he had to send troops together. But even if it was the coalition army of the two places, there were less than 100,000 people, so that Zhang Chengzhong was worried day and night, and he couldn't make plans, and he wanted to give up his plan to attack outside the fortress several times. ”

Qin Siyang couldn't help but think, yes, 20,000 people can't attack outside the Saiwai at all, this is military common sense, and it is impossible for the people in the military department not to see this. But why did the military department report this even though it knew that this figure was false and untrue? I heard that no one in the court at that time raised any objection to this issue when this matter was disputed.

"Sixty thousand becomes twenty thousand. Han Qihai continued: "This is in line with the highest number of rationed troops in Xuanhua City, haha." It's just pitiful, just because of this one change. These 60,000 soldiers will forever become lonely ghosts outside the fortress. ”

"Are you sure Zhang Chengzhong really had 60,000 people on hand at that time?" Qin Siyang asked.

"There are sixty thousand. Han Qihai replied with great certainty.

"How do you know?"

Han Qihai smiled coldly: "I have brought soldiers from the Han Mansion, I don't know?"

Qin Siyang was stunned.

Han Qihai smiled again, reached out to take the tea on the table, and took a sip: "For this reason, the imperial court has also reduced the Xuanhua garrison several times. It is only because of the continuous fighting in this area of the north that it has not been able to do so. It was dragged until my father died, and my eldest brother died on the battlefield. ”

"This ......" Qin Siyang made a calm face.

"Little brother, have you ever thought about it, how big is 60,000 people?"

Qin Siyang was stunned again, and his inky eyes stared at Han Qihai.

"Think in the opposite direction!" Han Qihai reminded.

60,000 in the opposite direction? 60,000 ...... Qin Siyang pondered silently, and suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, his face froze, and the whole person was completely stunned. After a moment, his face changed suddenly, his hands clenched his head hard, his face stiffened, his teeth clenched, and his expression was extremely painful.

"Siyang, what's wrong with you, does your head hurt?" Seeing Qin Siyang's sudden expression, Liu Shuangli was so shocked that he hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously and worriedly.

Qin Siyang didn't answer, just shook his head in pain.

Liu Shuangli was even more anxious, and called again and again. But Han Qihai on the side just watched, but he was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't care about asking. just smiled meaningfully: "This little brother is not simple." ”

Liu Shuangli helped Qin Siyang, seeing his painful look, he was already very anxious. Suddenly hearing Han Qihai say such words, he immediately turned around angrily and asked Han Qihai, "Master Han, what do you mean by this?"

Han Qihai ignored Liu Shuangli, still smiling elegantly, reaching out to take the purple sand teapot and pouring the last tea in the teapot into the three empty cups.

Liu Shuang was puzzled, and the thick lines of Feng Eleven couldn't really understand the taste.

The people sitting in the seat, only Qin Siyang and Han Qihai could understand it in their hearts.

An army of 60,000 is not enough to attack the Outer Mongolians, but for Xuanhua, which is only a few dozen miles away from the capital, 60,000 people is enough to rebel against the imperial court.
