Chapter 122: The City Gate is Guarded
What impresses Liu Gaozhi is his high and bulging temples, and his eyes, which are still shining despite his injuries, show that his internal and external skills have reached the realm of a first-rate master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On Liu Gaozhi's side, his cheap senior brother Lu Xiangsheng nodded at him with a smile and moved to the right, leaving him a vacant seat.
Liu Gaozhi seemed to have a good impression of Zhou Ning, he glanced at Zhou Ning deeply, and said happily: "Xuan Shuai really has the right eye, and Brother Zhou is really extraordinary." ”
Zhou Ning smiled and thanked him, leaned over and sat between Liu Gaozhi and Lu Xiangsheng, and his own maidservant came to pour a cup of tea for him.
After the maidservant withdrew, the atmosphere became slightly more serious.
Xie Xuan took a sip of the tea bowl and said lightly: "It's all my own people here, and I don't shy away from some things, although the Beifu Army is elite, it has not been fought for more than ten years, and the armament is inevitably a little sluggish." ”
Xie Xuan paused, and Sima Yuanxian, who was beside Sima Daozi, sneered and looked at Liu Gaozhi.
Liu Gaozhi's face was a little embarrassed, he was quickly defeated by Xiang Yu at Jingkou that day, and there was a reason for the lack of armaments.
Xie Xuan said again: "In this battle of Yangzhou to defend the city, the enemy's strength is still more than five times that of our army, and the situation is extremely grim. Brother Yan, is there a reply from Jingzhou? ”
Xie Yan said with an ugly face: "I just received a message from Hongyan, Huan Xuan disobeyed the holy order and refused to send troops from Jingzhou in the name of insufficient military rations. ”
Hearing Xie Yan's words, Liu Gaozhi, Lu Xiangsheng and others changed color together.
Liu Gaozhi said angrily: "Fuck the soldiers are not enough food, Jingzhou is in the hinterland of the plain, Huan Xuan's Jingzhou soldiers are even more famous for their soldiers' food and food, dare to disobey the holy order, is he Huan Xuan going to rebel?"
Zhou Ning said in his heart: I'm afraid...... Huan Xuan really wants to rebel.
Everyone in the venue fell silent, and after a while, Sima Daozi said astringently: "Although Huan Xuan is known as having a strange appearance and a sparse wind god, he is still notoriously narrow-minded, and I offended him greatly in Luoyang that day, and his reluctance to send troops was also expected." It's also ...... It's not necessarily a rebellion. ”
Xie Xuan was stunned, and then sighed: "That's ...... It's a little tricky......
glanced at everyone, and said: "The battle of the siege, if you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose countless people, and now that there are no reinforcements, then our plan should be more detailed. ”
Liu Gaozhi hurriedly said: "The West Gate is the main attack of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou of the Jianghuai Army, and the second wave of the enemy's offensive has been completely defeated, and there is no danger for the time being." In the next few days, it will not be difficult to guard the west gate, but it will ...... It may be necessary to mobilize a lot of people to help defend the city. ”
Xie Xuan bowed slightly, and said expressionlessly: "You can let go of the prison." Lu Shoubei, is there still turmoil in the city? ”
Lu Xiangsheng said with an ugly face: "...... The turmoil in the city has not improved, and several masterminds who planned the chaos are very high in martial arts. According to our judgment, most of these people are Xiang Yu or masters in the Heavenly Master Dao, that Zhong Lifu's sword technique is very strong, and he slashed Liu Shoubei with just one sword, and it can now be determined that he was the one who set fire to the east gate a few days ago and caused chaos. In addition, Lu Xun, the demon who assassinated Ouyang County Guard a few days ago, is also in the city, this person's martial arts should not be below me, and his light skills are even higher than me. In addition, there is a person in command in the city, we suspect that it is Sun En's high-footed Xu Daofu, known as the demon handsome, this person is the top in terms of martial arts, art of war and wisdom. Of course, it is also possible that Han Xin, a rookie from the Chu army, is said to be the heir of the military family and has great intelligence. At present, the enemy is working together inside and outside, and we are exhausted by the offensive outside the city, which is extremely sophisticated, and it is almost certain that the enemy is a very good military strategist. ”
Soldier strategist?
Zhou Ning had heard Du Shisan say before that in this world, there is a mysterious school of soldiers, which originated from Taoism.
Among the soldiers, they can be divided into four categories: "military power strategists", "military situation strategists", "military yin and yang strategists", and "military skill strategists".
On that day, Du Shisan's summary of the "military power strategist" was: "The power strategist, to defend the country, to use the odd soldiers, to plan first and then fight, and the situation, including yin and yang, with skills." ”
The "soldier situationist" is: "The situation is the one who moves the thunder and the wind, the last to come, the one who leaves the homeland, the change, and the one who controls the enemy with light diseases." ”
"Soldier Yin and Yang Family" is: "Yin and Yang, go with the times, push the punishment virtue, fight with the fight, because of the five victories, fake ghosts and gods and helpers." ”
And the "soldier skill" is: "the skill, learn the hands and feet, the equipment, the accumulation of organs, in order to establish the winner of attack and defense." ”
"Soldiers?" Liu Gaozhi asked in surprise, "I think about it, if it weren't for the fact that Xiang Yu is the descendant of Sun En, this person is a bit more like the heir of the military family. ”
Strategist of military power, strategist of military situation, Han Xin......
Zhou Ning's complexion also began to be gloomy, and a sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger in his heart. But he is still a little unable to control his own destiny, and gradually understands in his heart that this is an era when power is right, and only by riding on the head of others can he control his own destiny.
And the most important thing at the moment is to survive this siege first, and there is no other way.
Xie Xuan saw that Zhou Ning's expression was a little strange, looked at Zhou Ning, and said, "Does Little Brother Zhou have any opinions?" ”
Sima Daozi said impatiently: "At this moment, the soldiers are in danger, Brother Xie doesn't need to ask him, what insight can such a hairy boy have?" ”
Zhou Ning glanced at him, retracted his thoughts, groaned slightly, and said slowly: "I have some ideas, just now I came in a carriage with Uncle Song, and I saw a lot of people and merchants on the road, the family's courtyard, as well as various martial arts halls and gangs, if you can gather these people and guard the streets and alleys everywhere, you can relieve the pressure in the city a little." I can do it. ”
Xie Xuan looked at him with a strange face for a while, thought about it, bowed slightly, and said, "Little Brother Zhou is really not simple, then this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Zhou Ning was awe-inspiringly ordered, and in the amazed eyes of everyone, Zhou Ning thought for a while, and said aloud: "I have studied the art of war for a period of time before, and today I closed the door and listed some methods of defending the city, which can be used by Xuan Shuai for reference." ”
took out a part of the "General Essentials of the Martial Scriptures" that he had copied before from his bosom and handed it to Xie Xuan.
This book is important for military organizations, military systems. The selection of generals, infantry and cavalry training, marching camping, ancient and modern formations, strategy and tactics, the manufacture and use of weapons and equipment, military geography, examples of the use of troops in past dynasties, yin and yang horoscopes and other aspects are discussed. There are two parts, the battalion formation and the armament, and a large number of illustrations are also attached.
Zhou Ning here, only copied the method of defending the city, and part of the manufacturing method of weapons and equipment.
When I copied this book in modern times, I didn't feel anything, but looking back at this moment, this book is undoubtedly the culmination of the four schools of military school.
Xie Xuan was originally a little indifferent, opened the booklet, and after reading a few lines, he became serious, and then his expression became solemn, and he said slowly: "I didn't expect that I still underestimated Little Brother Zhou." The appointment of the saint has not yet come down for the time being, and I will temporarily appoint you as the city gate guard of the West Gate, replacing the dead Liu Guard, and suppressing the situation in the city together with Lu Guard. ”
