Chapter 3 Stupidity is a human characteristic
"The sky is also high, the earth is also wide, Lao Tzu has legs where he can't go. β
"Wine is the father, the bun is the mother, how can you live without the father. β
Ye Daiwan couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard that they were making it up smoothly, she didn't expect that these literati would make it so down-to-earth, it was really funny. "Let it be passed on like this, and whoever plays a big role will be awarded the first prize. β
As expected, the 70,000 rebels fled in less than half a day. It's a pity that the rebel king Ye Tingxuan ordered the deserters to be beheaded for public display, and buried three deep pits in a row to stop the momentum of the soldiers' rout. But morale is already completely different.
"It looks like only the final blow is needed. Things in the city have almost calmed down. Ye Daiwan thought of the Xu family. Is it not too reckless to open the knife now? Do you still wait until you are ready to do it? But the question is that when she plans to have a final battle with King Changle Yi, will the Xu family stab her in the back?
"The superficial chaos has been cleaned up. But I think there are still hidden in the dark, and there are still not enough people, otherwise it would be safe to sift through them carefully. Lu Shushen had done her best to eliminate the enemies in the city, but there was always a vague uneasiness.
"yes. Ye Daiwan also had a feeling of unease. If this fruit is cut off at the last time, Ye Daiwan will definitely be angry. But what can be done? The enemy is not a fool, how can he wait for her to finish everything else to clean them up?
In the end, I discussed the matter with everyone, of course, it is impossible to say the Xu family directly, only to say that it is a mess of the party, and I am afraid that there will be troubles if it is not clean. After some discussion, I finally came up with a method that was not too clever and not too bad, checking the household registration.
Exclude dangerous people according to the household registration, of course, there will be cheaters among them, Ye Daiwei also simply chose the joint sitting method, neighbors and clans testify to each other, if there is a mistake, it will be punished together. This method may be a little too rough, but there is no easier and faster way for Ye Daidu, who is in urgent need of stability in the rear.
Among them, Zhang Douniang, who has lived in Beijing for a long time, has made great efforts, she is not only familiar with Shangjing but also has contact with the chief of security everywhere. Now Ye Daiwan can finally start and deal with King Changle Yi well.
There are 50,000 horses in the city, and the maximum number of people in Juyong Pass is 10,000. It may sound like a close match, but in fact, it's far from it. King Changle Yi's soldiers and horses are strong soldiers specially prepared for war, and Ye Daidu's side is just ordinary soldiers stationed on a daily basis, maybe not as much blood as Ye Daidu.
That's the difference between a fighting dog and a watchdog. Even if Ye Daiwan wants to overestimate, it is difficult, although the other party also has many weaknesses, such as the grain and grass have been burned out, and they are tired from long-distance travel, and they have no worries about the way back...... But how to say it, these are other factors. The gap in the main factors cannot be ignored.
"Your Majesty, maybe you can make up for it with the momentum of attack. Jiang Ying first compared the plan they discussed to Ye Daidu. Ye Daiwan saw that she was not good at this, but she still listened attentively. The teacher said that the emperor could not understand everything, but he had to listen to everything.
Jiang Ying explained the current situation, Ye Daiwan didn't understand anything else, she could only understand, and in a head-to-head duel, I am afraid that their winning rate is not high. Even if it's a victory, it's possible to win badly. But if it is a pyrrhic victory, the possibility of Ye Daiwan wanting to rescue Yanzhou will drop indefinitely.
"I'm going to do it myself. When Ye Daiwan proposed this resolution, she knew that she would meet with strong opposition. But in the end, she succeeded, because she made an offer that no one could refuse. "I can spread my forces and capture the king of thieves first. β
"If it was to catch me, would the victorious King Changle Yi refuse?" Ye Daiwan threw down the bait first, and then happily harvested the fruit. Lure the enemy deeper, then eat the enemy's main force in one go.
Although it is common sense that this method is neither suitable for defending cities nor for plain terrain, no matter what the theory is, it must be in line with reality. Ye Daiwan can't wait. Things in Yanzhou have exceeded expectations.
is always saying rational words, pretending to be very powerful, and strengthening himself like a pufferfish, in fact, Ye Daiwan is still the same as before, stupid and naΓ―ve, impatient and reckless. Otherwise, she would never be like a fire, she didn't care about anything, she just wanted to solve the matter in front of her, and then go to You'an's side.
She hadn't seen him in a long time. And the news these days is too much and too bad, as if it wants to crush her. She still smiled indifferently at others, but deep down there was still a voice in her heart that kept telling her fears.
There were so many things she was afraid of. Afraid of hardship, tiredness, pain, death, almost everything that mortals are afraid of is afraid of her. In the end, in her own heart, she is still the little girl who has nothing and nothing to rely on.
It's the same for as long as she lives, whether it's more than ten years, decades, a lifetime, or two lifetimes, she is still herself, and she hasn't become a superman with a golden finger who doesn't grow old or die. So no matter how much wisdom and calmness she has shown, Ye Daidu's thoughts still retain human weaknesses.
Man is a race that cannot see what is in front of him, what was missed in the past, still is, and will be.
Ye Daiwan made a mistake because of this impulsiveness. In this mistake, she did two things wrong, overestimating herself and underestimating the enemy. The enemy who has lost his way out may become a tiger with his teeth pulled out, or he may become a ruined Xiang Yu.
Now seems to be the worst and worst possible outcome.
"Your Majesty, the southern gate has been breached. When Ye Daidu, who was standing at the head of the city to supervise the battle, heard the news, she couldn't come back to her senses for a whole minute. How could this be? She stood at the east gate, or the closest gate to the rebels, just to concentrate the opponent's troops, so the remaining city gate troops were not so sufficient.
But even so, it should not have been broken less than three hours after the siege began, and not even a day's engagement. This exceeded all expectations. It turns out that the enemy is not completely stupid, and after making so many fatal mistakes, he makes a strange move and hits Ye Daidu's soft underbelly.
The city has been breached, the people are struggling, and the country will fall. Ye Daidu's brain, which had been boiling with blood because of stupidity, finally calmed down. "There are three gates, are they all broken?"
"The first gate was breached. General Jiang Ying had already rushed over when he heard the news, and now he was guarding the second city gate, but it was only a matter of time. The little soldier who came to report was articulate and clear-minded, and asked Ye Daiwan to understand the current situation at once, which can be seen that Jiang Ying deliberately chose it.
"Excess manpower was concentrated everywhere, and the palace was not guarded, and the people began to evacuate the people on both sides from the North City Gate to Suzaku Street of the Imperial Palace, and an ambush was formed. Tell Jiang Ying that if the momentum is not good, abandon the city gate, retreat to the palace, and deploy troops after arriving at the palace. After Ye Daiwan said all this, she immediately whistled.
Before the crowd could react, she hurried down from the city, grabbed the reins of the Shadow and jumped up, and galloped away. "Praetorian Guard, follow me. β
