Chapter 224: Overestimated
The little official waved his hand, "I said old man, I am a small official of the ministry, you ask me is really a little redundant or useless, in my opinion, I am just mixing three meals a day in Chang'an City, it is great to be able to feed a family, and now the general is preparing to command the three armies and protect Chang'an City, what do you say I can do? With my official position, with my personal ability, hey, old man, you are embarrassing me." ”
The old man couldn't help laughing, waved his hand at him and said, "Although the military situation is urgent along the way, it does not delay the chat between you and me, I want to ask you, since you are a small official of the Ministry of Officials, you are naturally very clear about the appointment and dismissal of officials, but I don't ask you why the so-called general chose me, but I ask you a question, that is, this Ministry of Officials is in charge of so many veterans, who can continue to go to the battlefield, can be used, how many do you think there can be?"
"I think you have a chance to make meritorious contributions, if you can count all these generals who can go to the battlefield and inspire them to be independent, and hand them over to the generals, I think you will be considered a great meritorious. Tonight, these generals can command their own men and horses, command the army and the Longwu army, and it should not be a problem to keep Chang'an City, this is the key. ”
A word to wake up the dreamer. Obviously, the old man gave the little official an important idea, the little official nodded, looked at the old man and said gratefully, "Oh, old man, look at me, in order to keep his head, I ran to your door and scolded you for so long, I didn't expect you to ...... Hey, help me, you said this makes me say something good, hey, I'm so ashamed. ”
The two of them continued to fight forward, but the old man waved his hand and said, "I'm thinking, if you are like you, even if you don't have any pursuits, just to keep your family for three meals a day, it is actually a good thing to be able to work hard and diligently, what is so difficult about this, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and there is nothing not worth saying." ”
"Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City have become a commercial and trade center here, and an important city in the west is because it can tolerate the world, which is actually worthy of each of us to be proud of. ”
The little official waved his hand and said, "Old general, there are fewer and fewer people who can have a mind like you, I have been a small official in the Ministry of Officials for so long, you want to say that there is no idea to climb up is false, but the Ministry of Officials is the appointment and dismissal of officials, and I have seen all the officials in Chang'an City, some of them are inexplicable, and they are doctors who are farmers and scholars." ”
"It's okay to say, the most important thing is what nepotism, what is the buying of the official mantle is too much, but now it doesn't make sense to say this, Chang'an City is so chaotic, the general is now commanding the three armies of the entire Chang'an City to resist, saying that these are useless, Chang'an City is broken, what sells the official mantle, what is based on various relationships, the emperor doesn't know where to go, let alone the little people like us who shrank their heads and turtles. ”
Yes, the title of the shrunken turtle was directly buckled on his head, and there was a deep helplessness in his eyes.
The old man waved his hand and said, "There is no need to do this, Chang'an City will definitely be able to defend, think about a general of my age, there are no less than a thousand generals in this Chang'an City, even if it is those veterans, it is not less than tens of thousands, those veterans are experienced, plus the army Longwu Army, how can they not be worth 30,000 grassland iron horses?"
"Even if the army and the Dragon Martial Army are not strong now, I think it should be no problem to fight a war, right?"
This is really the right person to ask the little official, and the little official waved his hand and said, "What about you, you are overestimating." The time you came back is too short, the army is full of wine bags and rice bags, all of them are some nobles and royal relatives, a small soldier can't do anything, the Long Wu army is better, you see that General Yao is in charge there, but with General Yao in the list of generals, there are only 56 generals. ”
"Therefore, there can be 100,000 troops of the Longwu army in this Chang'an City, but according to the general, I am afraid that there are no more than 20,000 or 30,000 people who can resist the enemy. ”
The old man laughed, "If you defend the city, with the impregnable situation, 10,000 can be worth 100,000, this is not a joke, and what the general is worried about now is the encounter." If these 9 gates are damaged or cannot be closed, they are repeatedly harassed by the wolf cubs of the wolf clan, or they rush into the city in encounters, interception battles and street battles, for the general, his worries are not unreasonable, but this kind of most critical point, the general should not have thought of it yet, so you have credit again. ”
The little official was stunned, and while whipping his donkey vigorously, he barely reached the front of the old man's fast horse, and then could not help but salute him on the horse, but he almost fell off his donkey, and the old man pushed him with his weapon and made him stand.
Wang Mingxuan laughed and pointed with his hand, "After you see the general, I will recommend that you immediately return to the ministry and read out all the information of those veterans and veterans, as long as you can assemble these tens of thousands of people within one or two hours, when the time comes, street battles, encounters and so on, whether it is a general or a soldier, you can also completely carry out a certain amount of assembly and training through the commander of this kind of experienced soldiers." ”
"When the time comes, even if all the nine gates are broken by the other party, you can also carry out a certain block, take the map, rely on the map to protect the inner layer, and move the people to the inner city, you can complete the most solid protection of Chang'an City, plus the military and the people are concentric Chang'an City, it is very promising to keep it. ”
His words quickly inspired the little official, making the little official's face red, Zhan Long raised his hand, "The old general is really high-minded, really high-minded." When I see the general, I must tell the general about this. ”
The heads of the two people's horses quickly turned to Chaoyangmen, no one attacked Chaoyangmen, but the general was supervising the repair of the wall with a serious face, Chaoyangmen is a low-lying place, different from Ximen and Xuanmen, Ximen is completely broken, Xuanmen is because there is too much business, and Chaoyangmen is damaged but blistered, which is troublesome.
In such a humid environment, it is almost impossible to build a relatively strong so-called brick wall. Demolishing the dwellings, you can only block a large number of piles and so-called barricades, including obstacles, which makes Liu Hao scratch his head a little, but he didn't expect that the 9 gates of Chang'an City are different, some are the main gates, and some of the gates have become deserted, and this Chaoyang Gate has been abandoned.
