In February of the fifth year of Fengtian, Dugu and his relatives led an army of 200,000 to the west, and at the same time sent an envoy to Xie Ronghua, asking Wei to retreat to Tongguan and return the land that had occupied Xia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the camp tent of the marshal, all the senior generals of the Wei army gathered here, their faces were solemn, Xie Ronghua sat at the top, his eyes swept over the dozens of people in the camp, and said in a low voice: "Dugu and the purpose of this trip, I think you don't need to explain more, now the situation is urgent, and the marshal wants to hear your opinions." ”

"Marshal, the last general thinks that Dugu and the menacing situation, this time with a large army to press the border, on the surface, it is because of the Xia State asking for help, but in fact, it is just to see that Su Hongmao is now at the end of the road, and our army and the Xia army's protracted battle, has long been tired, he came over at this time, just to collect the benefits of a fisherman, if we retreat, it is not his way, this more than a year of hard work is not in vain." Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Han Sheng took the lead in speaking out.

Xie Ronghua didn't answer immediately, he looked at the others and said, "Do you think the same way?" ”

Everyone in the account looked at each other, and finally Feng Yi spoke: "General Han is right, but if we don't withdraw our troops, stay here and suffer the enemy, what are the chances of victory, originally fought with the Xia army, our army has lost a lot of military strength, Your Majesty has few remaining troops in Chang'an, and there are also rogues raging in the south of the Yangtze River in Shuzhong during this time, that is to say, if we stay, we will be a lone army, and there will be no reinforcements coming. “

Although Feng Yi is the person of the crown prince Xie Yunzhi, his words are indeed reasonable, it is indeed too difficult for them to stay and fight against the water, and soon most of the generals echoed: "Marshal, General Feng is right, stay in Qingshan and are not afraid of no firewood, we will temporarily avoid the edge, wait for Dugu and retreat, and then wait for the opportunity to attack the party is the best policy." ”

"Is it the best policy?" Xie Ronghua knocked on the table and muttered, suddenly looked at Wang Chengzhi, and said in a low voice: "What does Wang think when he joins the army?" ”

Yun Yifan was slightly surprised when he saw him ask Wang Chengzhi, Wang Chengzhi was originally the prince's person, could his answer be different from Feng Yi's.

Wang Chengzhi, who had not spoken, saw Xie Ronghua suddenly ask him, and after being stunned for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Weichen thinks that we can't retreat. ”

Zong Zhengming and Cui Jianyun were both shocked in their hearts, a little surprised that Wang Chengzhi really opposed the retreat, Feng Yi's face was a little unbearable, and he was not angry with Wang Chengzhi and said: "Is there any magic weapon for Wang to join the army?" ”

"Naturally, no." Wang Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "However, think about it, we have been preparing for more than half a year to go east to Luoyang, but despite this, we are also a little powerless in terms of grain and grass logistics. Although there are 200,000 troops, it looks like they are huge, but I think that they may not really have much strength, if they really have the strength, they can come directly to raid, and they don't have to send a letter first, bluffing to ask us to withdraw our troops. “

The generals in the big tent listened to his analysis, and suddenly quieted down, and suddenly there was applause, Wang Chengzhi looked at the first seat, Xie Ronghua struck his palms, and said with a smile: "Wang joins the army and the idea of this commander coincides. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone naturally understood what Xie Ronghua meant, and he was unwilling to withdraw from the army.

"But Marshal ......" a soldier said urgently, Xie Ronghua signaled him to be quiet, and looked at the people in the tent: "You and Ben Shuai have persevered in Luoyang until now, and they can be regarded as having suffered a lot, Ben Shuai knows your concerns, to be honest, Rong Guo will be involved, although this king is unexpected, but it is also reasonable, Su Hongmao is based in Luoyang, the treasury is full, and the army led by him is the elite of Jianghuai, the most difficult thing for him now is not that there is no army, but that there is no food, he can't fight, trapped in the city, and can only watch and wait for defeat, At this time, Dugu and his relatives led a large army to the rescue, bringing the most elite forces, and he wanted to kill our army in one fell swoop. If we allow these two forces to meet, then the grain from Hebei will be transferred to supply Luoyang, and their army will only be stronger, and it will be even more distant for us to completely eliminate him, so ......" He looked at them, his eyes were unprecedentedly resolute: "This commander not only can't let Dugu and Su Hongmao converge, but also wants Dugu and have no return." “

Everyone in the tent was shocked and said in disbelief: "What does the marshal mean, to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

"Yes, kill two birds with one stone, after this battle, the Wei State will have absolute strength to dominate the world, and no force can compete with us." His eyes sparkled, so that many generals in the tent were eager to try, if successful, this is a great merit, once followed him all the way, participated in the big and small battles of the generals have knelt down, deep voice: "Everything is sent by the marshal, and the last general swears to follow the marshal to the death." ”

Their voices were so loud that the people in the tent who wanted to oppose them didn't dare to open their mouths if they wanted to, Xie Ronghua glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "You guys get up first." ”

Xie Ronghua walked to the map, looked at them and said in a deep voice: "Since we want to fight on two fronts, we have to abolish the previous battle plan, and now, we must not only defend Luoyang to prevent Su Hongmao from having the opportunity to send troops, but also prepare to ambush Duguji......

His hands were pointed over the various fortresses one by one, and the troops were divided into defenses, and it was not until late at night that the meeting was finally concluded.

After the generals retreated, Zhang Xuance was still waiting in the tent, Xie Ronghua glanced at him and said, "Mr. Zhang still has something to say?" ”

Zhang Xuance looked at him with heavy eyes, and asked seriously: "Your Highness, tell me honestly, the so-called killing two birds with one stone, how sure are you of winning?"

He called His Royal Highness, obviously wanting to ask him questions in his private capacity, Xie Ronghua looked at the little fire outside the tent with a calm face, and said softly to Zhang Xuance: "Mr. Zhang has been following this king for a while, you know, this king doesn't do things that he is not sure of. “

Zhang Xuance was shocked in his heart, he looked at Xie Ronghua, and said in a deep voice: "But His Highness is sure to win, then he is sure to let himself retreat." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Xie Ronghua chuckled and looked at him.

"His Royal Highness's marching and defense are interlocking, but he puts himself in the most dangerous situation, has His Highness ever thought that we may be able to capture Luoyang, and even defeat Duguji, but does His Highness still have the life to return to Chang'an? Why do you have to be in such a hurry? Can't you figure it out slowly? Zhang Xuance frowned.

Xie Ronghua sighed lightly, looked at him and said: "Mr. Zhang, I once promised my mother that I would definitely protect the Xie family, so this time, I will not let the Wei Kingdom fall into a crisis because of my relationship, but I can't wait that long, as long as I can win alive, I can have supreme military merits, in that way, I will have enough chips to realize my and Mr. Zhang's wishes as soon as possible." “

"But ......" Zhang Xuance's words hadn't come out yet, Xie Ronghua had already asked him softly: "Mr. Zhang, are you afraid of death?" ”
