He Chapter 143 An Min
In the streets and alleys, there is no trace of damage, and there is no blood, so it is obvious that Mandu did not bully the local people, and even tortured and killed them for no reason, and committed cruel acts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info though, but. After all, the people of the whole process are still under the iron hooves of the enemy, becoming prisoners of the enemy's ranks, and losing their former freedom.
In the streets and alleys, there are no traces of damage, and there is no smell of blood, which shows that Mandula has a strict army, and has not harmed the people, or done brutal things. Looking at this scene, Li Muqi couldn't help but think, "If over time, the people of the whole city are used to seeing and getting used to the faces of other gangs, and gradually forget the fear in their hearts, perhaps, this is no longer the land of the Tang Dynasty, but completely belongs to the realm of other states." After all, it is always easy for people to forget something, to forget their motherland, to forget their responsibilities, and to forget the pain of the past because of the joy of the moment. "Perhaps, in their hearts, they think that this happy land is their place of peace, and they don't care at all which country they are in at this time, and they no longer care who rules this land, and by what means they have taken it, so long as it can make them live, it is enough..."
There was not a single figure on the street, but the voice was still coming from the window. Listening to these sounds, Li Muqi could hardly tell whether they were sincere or deliberate. After all, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, or even impossible to distinguish at all. It is only because people's hearts are most likely to believe in false things, and do not want to believe in truth.
In less than half an hour, official lists were posted everywhere in the city, full of Li Shuheng's benevolence and virtue, full of Li Shuheng's worries about the people, and the strong affection was almost straight to the hearts of the people, which made people full of gratitude.
Li Muqi distributed half of the army's grain to the people, and exempted the people from paying taxes for a year. When the matter in the city is resolved, there is a trace of worry in my heart, and I slowly wait for the city tower, facing the cold wind, looking from a height, as if I want to see the other corner of my heart...
A general followed Li Muqi's figure, standing beside him, following Li Muqi's gaze, and looking into the distance, but it was difficult to look at Li Muqi for a long time, after all, he felt that this matter was a little incomprehensible and a little boring, so he withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Muqi's cheeks, his heart was full of curiosity, I don't know why there was a smile on the corner of Li Muqi's mouth, and I don't understand, why there is a little pain flashing above his smile...
After a long time of not seeing Li Muqi withdraw his gaze, Na Jiang finally felt impatient and muttered, "I don't know what is so beautiful about such a scene?
It is like a person who does not drink alcohol and only knows the pain of drinking once in a while. And I don't know the sweetness of wine. Li Muqi smiled and said, "No matter how you explain it, that person won't understand." Because in his heart he thinks that wine can only be painful, and never sweet. ”
Hearing this, the general couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly and said, "The last general really doesn't know the fun in it." Seeing a faint and somewhat lonely bitter smile on Li Muqi's face, he knew that there must be a beautiful picture in Li Muqi's heart, otherwise how could his smile be like this?
How will you know that what arouses the lovesickness in Li Muqi's heart is not the scenery in his eyes, but the concern in his heart. I don't miss it in my heart, no matter what kind of scenery it is, it's hard to bring back that memory...
Looking at Li Muqi's face, which still didn't know whether it was happiness or pain, he said slowly, "Mo Jiang has always had a question in his heart, and it is difficult to understand until this moment. ”
"The doubts in your hearts are also the incomprehensible points in the hearts of the generals. Li Muqi looked back and smiled, and said, "I think the generals also have such a question in their hearts at this time -- why did the enemy give up this city so easily? Why did I say those words at that time. ”
The general nodded hurriedly and said with a wry smile, "The last general couldn't believe the general's words at that time, and even thought..."
"I think I was a little delirious and talking nonsense. ”
The general smiled innocently and rubbed his hair with his hand, trying to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
At that time, the person who thought it was not a nonsense was bound to be a madman. Li Muqi smiled, "Does the general know why I delayed sending troops for three days?"
At that time, the general must have been thinking about a plan to attack the city. ”
Li Muqi shook his head and said, "No." I didn't think about a siege plan. Li Muqi looked into the distance again and said, "I have no intention of attacking the city at all. ”
"The general doesn't plan to attack the city?" said the general with a puzzled face, "Could it be that the general doesn't want to recover Xiangcheng in his heart?"
"Recovering this city doesn't have to be a siege. Li Muqi said, "Attacking the city is the next strategy, and it is the stupidest way to solve it." ”
"Did the general already know at that time that this city would be able to be recovered without much effort?"
Li Muqi shook his head and said, "I don't know." It was my intention to surround the city on three sides, and to make a siege every day, shouting under the city, and terrifying the enemy. After a month, the city will certainly be recovered. The reason why I postponed the dispatch for three days was to give the enemy troops in this city time to be able to do some defense. However, when I came to the city, I did not see the defense of the city, but I saw that the enemy was about to set up a formation, and then I guessed that the enemy had already retreated. ”
"Let the enemy defend well," exclaimed the general, "if the enemy had been well defended at that time, and had no intention of retreating, it would have been difficult to deter the enemy even if he had been bluffing for a month." Moreover, how did the general know that the enemy had the intention of retreating?"
"No matter what kind of defense the enemy does, it is always inferior to the defense of our army, after all, almost all the defense they do is to learn from us. The reason why they were able to take our city was not because our defense was insufficient, but because our army was unstable. The morale of the army is unstable, and no matter how good the defense is, it will be difficult to defend against the enemy's offensive. Li Muqi said. "Defending the city does not depend on defense, but on the spirit of the army, the hearts of the people in the city, and the thirst and hope in the heart. Slowly retracting his gaze, he looked at the general and said, "The reason why I gave the enemy three days to prepare was that I actually wanted to know the enemy's military heart and the heart to stay here. However, when I came to the city, I did not see the defense in the city, but saw the deliberate provocation of the enemy, and then I knew that the enemy had retreated in their hearts, and that time was only their temptation. ”
"The enemy army has captured this city, why do you have the intention of retreating?"
"The enemy originally thought that the main force of our army was in Baturu, and after recapturing Jizhou, or after Jizhou and our army could stalemate, the main force of our army would inevitably find a way to attack the enemy in Jizhou, and even try to surround the enemy army in our territory, but at that time, they could take Baturu in one fell swoop and lead troops south, and our army would be difficult to stop. Unexpectedly, in less than a month, our army had recovered Fancheng and taken Xiangcheng directly. The plan has changed, and it has completely detached itself from what they thought in their hearts. They were accustomed to living in the wilderness, not to living in a walled city, and most of them were cavalrymen, and although they were good at shooting, it was difficult for them to hold the city for a long time, and it would be difficult to hold on to it for a long time. If you don't retreat, you will inevitably lose your troops here. ”
"Why don't they join forces with our army at Baturu?"
"If you attack that army together, you will inevitably end up surrounded by our army. Li Muqi smiled and said, "I think General Han Zhongbang has long known the movements of our army, and he will definitely be able to make the most perfect countermeasures." If the enemy forces encircle that army, General Han will inevitably lead his troops to surround the enemy army in our army's formation. ”
"Oh?" the general thought for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, "That's exactly the reason." When the enemy encircles my army, I only need to lead an army to block the enemy behind me, and then lead my troops to kill them. At that time, our army will inevitably be able to get news here and surround the enemy army in Xiangcheng. ”
That's exactly what happened. ”
"Then why did the enemy army enter the city without committing any offense to the people, but when they were about to retreat, they robbed all the food in the people's homes?"
"When they entered the city, they did not offend the people, but they had made it their own land in their hearts, and the people were their people, so that they would not plunder, and they would be generous in their benevolence, so that the people would put away their fears from their hearts, and slowly approve of them. However, once they leave, the people here will return their hearts to our Tang Dynasty, and all the benevolent deeds they have done will turn into smoke and will not be remembered by the people. Therefore, they will rob the grain from the people's homes, and our army has to distribute the grain to the people to reassure the people. If they can take this city again, return the food to the people, and show kindness again, the people will surely forget their cruelty and the hatred in their hearts at this time. ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, full of sadness, but he didn't know how to speak. After all, he still understands the difference between the common people and the soldiers, and he still understands the difference between the common people and the soldiers.
The people are always easily moved, and they are also very easily deceived, and it is even easier to forget many painful things.
