Chapter 0107: Night Attack on the Royal City
The leader of the Tiger Wolf Army hurriedly objected, "Absolutely not! Qionglin Garden is a royal garden, a symbol of the royal family, and it is full of all kinds of rare and exotic grasses!
"Shut up!" Si Boqian immediately interrupted his words, and instead confirmed to Hall Master Luo, "Qionglin Yuan can really alleviate the situation here?"
"Yes!" Lord Luo patted his chest and promised!
"Okay! Then the matter here, please pay more attention to the master of the hall, I will enter the palace now and ask the king for instructions!" Si Boqian said to the general again, "You come with me!"
Si Boqian and the general left Guangde Temple one after another.
Hall Master Luo looked at Si Boqian's departing figure, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Benevolence and righteousness are enough!"
"What's your name?" Si Boqian walked on the road and began to inquire about the general.
"The last general, Wang Yan, is the younger brother of Wang Hai, the guard of the North Gate!" the general replied truthfully.
Si Boqian knew that Wang Hai was Xiao Xiaofei's right-hand man with outstanding ability, but looking at Wang Yan in front of him, who was so inflexible, his heart was still full of disappointment.
Wang Yan is Wang Hai's younger brother, and the two have a good relationship. Wang Yan has lived under Wang Hai's wing since he was a child, so he has also developed a dependence, and he doesn't think about things when he encounters them, but relies on his brother Wang Hai for guidance. Basically, whatever Wang Hai says, he does.
Wang Yan also felt aggrieved in his heart, so he said that he was unwilling to be a general. Wang Yan was originally a general under Wang Hai, but because of the lack of generals in the Tiger and Wolf Army, he was brought up to take charge of some defense in the royal city.
"Shizi, did I do something wrong!" Wang Yan knew his ability and self-knowledge.
Si Boqian looked at Wang Yan's still blue face, not wanting to hit his self-confidence, his mind quickly thought about how to answer his question, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's not wrong, but it can't be right!"
These words made Wang Yan even more confused, and he didn't know how to deal with himself.
"You are no longer an ordinary soldier in the past, there is a team of people under your command who listen to your command, as a general, you must have the ability to solve problems, you can't be too rigid in doing things, you must learn to be flexible!" Si Boqian also wanted him to grow, and the conversation began.
"Take the matter of Guangde Temple as an example, you strictly followed my instructions and quickly transferred the wounded and sick patients and completed the task, which is worthy of recognition! However, due to my lack of consideration, the Guangde Temple was overcrowded. As the general in charge of this incident, how do you feel when you see this?" Si Boqian wanted to make him have a clearer understanding of the position of a general through this incident.
"I... I'm pretty worried, too!"
"You saw the problem, but you didn't solve it, this is your mistake as a general!" Si Boqian directly pointed out Wang Yan's fault.
"But..." Wang Yan retorted.
"You're trying to say it's my order, aren't you?"
"Hmm!"
"Wang Yan, you rely too much on other people's orders!" Si Boqian patted Wang Yan's shoulder and said, "Sometimes, my orders are not necessarily correct!"
"Military orders are like mountains, how can they be child's play!" Wang Yan disagreed with Si Boqian's point of view.
"The military order is like a mountain, very good! At least it shows that you are a good soldier! But I didn't let you disobey the order!" Si Boqian explained, "There is such a thing as Guangde Temple, as a general, you should at least let me know the real situation of Guangde Temple." ”
"If it were your brother Wang Hai, do you know what he would do?" Si Boqian knew Wang Yan's dependence on Wang Hai, so he took out Wang Hai for comparison.
"How?"
"Your brother will definitely come up with more than one solution, and then let me choose!"
Wang Yan was clicked by Si Boqian, and he was also suddenly opened, realizing his mistake, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself. Ashamed.
"Shizi, I was wrong!"
"It's okay! Remember this lesson, and you will grow up to be a general like your brother in the future!" Now that Wang Yan realized his mistake, his goal was also achieved. Si Boqian didn't want to dampen his self-confidence and enthusiasm, and finally made expectations for him, hoping that he could take charge as soon as possible.
Si Boqian didn't expect today's words to become a great general in the future!
The two talked and talked, and then arrived at the palace gate of the royal city, Si Boqian asked Wang Yan to wait outside the palace gate, and he went into the palace to ask the king for advice.
As soon as Xuanyuan Heng heard Si Boqian's narration and request, he didn't think about it, so he agreed, "Boqian, I will immediately draft an order to open Qionglin Garden, you must save the lives of these soldiers and people as much as possible!"
"Don't worry, the king!"
Xuanyuan Hengyi quickly prepared his will, stamped it with the king's seal, and handed it to Si Boqian.
When Si Boqian got the will, he didn't dare to delay, and when he left the palace, he directly handed over the king's decree to Wang Yan, "This matter is handed over to you, I want to hear your thoughts." ”
Wang Yan unfolded it and saw that the king had already agreed to open Qionglin Garden, coupled with what Si Boqian had said to himself before, after pondering for a while, he said, "Qionglin Garden and Guangde Temple are far apart, and seriously injured patients should not move anymore, so I plan to move patients with relatively minor injuries to Qionglin Garden!
"Not bad!" Si Boqian affirmed Wang Yan's idea, "I am very pleased that you can think and arrange this." ”
"Go ahead and do it!"
"Yes!"
Wang Yan was affirmed by Si Boqian, and he was full of confidence and enthusiasm. Wang Yan returned to Guangde Temple to inform Luo Tang Master of the news, and asked him to pick out some seriously injured soldiers and civilians to continue to stay in Guangde Temple, so that the lightly injured patients were ready to be transferred, and he took his own men and horses to Qionglin Yuan to do the preliminary cleanup work!
As soon as Si Boqian dealt with the affairs of the injured and sick patients, a group of people came to him to ask him for instructions on the allocation of materials, water supply and other messy problems. Si Boqian gave opinions or instructions one by one, and sent away wave after wave of people, and wave after wave of people came again...
In the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and a cool breeze blew through the royal city, bringing a touch of coolness to the people who had been steaming all day.
Old man Wei, who was guarding the south city gate, raised his face, felt the refreshing cool breeze, smiled and squinted his eyes and said, "The rain is coming!"
"Where?" The young recruit looked around, wanting to see where the rain was as old man Wei said, but after looking around, he didn't see anything, thinking that old man Wei was entertaining himself, so he glanced at old man Wei with disgust, "Old man Wei, aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open!"
Old man Wei directly gave him a cigarette bag and pot, "You stinky boy, what's the hurry!"
The recruit's head was suddenly struck, and he grinned in pain, and rubbed his hands vigorously to relieve the pain on his head.
"Whew..."
"Whew..."
The wind was stronger than ever, and the wind was gradually mixed with water vapor, and after a while, the weather cooled down...
"Click!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and silver lightning streaked across the sky and slashed into the sky above the royal city!
"Wow..."
There was no prelude, no warning, and the downpour poured directly from the sky.
The recruits did not expect it, and they were doused all over their faces, and they were very embarrassed.
Old man Wei hid under the eaves, smashing his old cigarette pouch leisurely, looking at the embarrassed recruits in the rain with a smile, and said meaningfully, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you!"
This heavy rain came in time, not only bringing coolness to Wangcheng, but also causing great trouble to the Xinyang army who were thinking about the march of Wangcheng.
Prince Dun Xuanyuan Xuanhe sat in the big tent, looking at the pouring rain outside, and scolded his mother angrily, but he also understood that such a heavy rain could not march, and now there is only one choice for himself, that is, wait! Wait until the rain becomes smaller, and wait until you can march!
At this time, Zhang Sheng walked in from outside in the rain, "Lord Wang!"
"Mr. Zhang, you're here. Prince Dun was upset and said hello nonchalantly.
Zhang Sheng shook off the water droplets on his body and straightened his hair that was messed up by the rain, "Lord Wang, we can't wait here!"
"Of course I know I can't wait, but now that it's raining, how do you let me march!" Xuanyuan Xuanhe was already in his heart and didn't set off, so he suddenly sent it out.
"Hehe..."
Zhang Sheng was not angry, he combed a strand of broken hair on his sideburns, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "Lord Wang, although the army can't march, but..."
Xuanyuan Xuanhe's eyes lit up, "Strategist, there is a good plan!"
Chen Sheng pointed to the heavy rain outside and said, "This heavy rain is an opportunity given to us by God, we are not allowed to seize it!"
"Soldier, treacherous!"
"We will now send a cavalry of 5,000 people to attack the royal city, and we will definitely be able to open a gap in the royal city!" When Chen Sheng said this, he seemed to have seen the scene of the royal city being forced.
After Xuanyuan Xuanhe heard this, he directly clapped his hands and applauded, and the boredom in his heart dissipated at once, and he excitedly called a sergeant to invite the Marquis of Xinyang to come to the big tent to discuss.
After a while, Xinyang Hou and his daughter Zhang Qingfang came in the rain.
Xuanyuan Xuanhe briefly told them about Chen Sheng's thoughts.
"Great! I am willing to personally lead 5,000 iron horsemen and go straight to the royal city to open a gap for the army!" As soon as Zhang Qingfang heard Xuanyuan Xuanhe's thoughts, he volunteered! Zhang Qingfang was the general of the Xinyang Army, and he was very familiar with the matter of marching and fighting! Such a surprise attack on a rainy night sounded very exciting, and how could he let it go!
Regarding the surprise attack on the royal city, Xinyang Hou also agreed, and the next thing is to discuss the details of the surprise attack on the royal city.
Xinyang Hou, Zhang Qingfang, and Xuanyuan Xuanhe all advocated a surprise attack on the South Gate, because the South Gate was the most recent and had just been attacked. Zhang Sheng had a different opinion, advocating attacking the north gate, and the reason he gave was that although the south gate was attacked, and the city walls and city gates were damaged to varying degrees, they would also become the key guards of the tiger and wolf army, so it was unwise to attack the south gate. The defense of the east, west and north gates is similar, but considering that the north gate is the farthest away from the south gate, it is a good move to surprise the north gate.
The other three listened to Zhang Sheng's analysis and felt that it was quite reasonable, so they also agreed to attack the north gate on a rainy night.
Zhang Qingfang personally selected 5,000 good men in the Xinyang army to form a surprise attack team, braved the heavy rain, rode a war horse and galloped towards the royal city!
