Chapter 61: Attacking Huoyi
Xie Ronghua didn't get up, looked up at Xie Yun and said calmly: "Father, now our army has just raised righteousness, and it looks like a huge momentum, but we all know that in fact, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, if they keep moving forward, the army will be high-spirited: once it retreats, it will disperse in a hurry: we need a victory to boost morale now, but now that a battle has not been fought, we will withdraw first, and the morale will collapse, if the enemy behind follows, how can we still have the strength to parry?" ”
"Keep talking!" Xie Yun stared at Xie Ronghua in a commanding tone and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Now that the imperial court has known that we have raised troops, they have arranged all the elite soldiers in turn on the way of our army's westward march. This is a decisive battle, and it is bound to be divided between you and you, and if we retreat rashly without making contact with the enemy, we know our own considerations, what about the soldiers? They also think that the enemy is too strong, we ourselves surrender without a fight, we must panic, you scare me, I scare you, the army is in chaos, at that time, the Khitan and Zhan Zimiao in the north will take advantage of the fire to rob, and the Feng Ji and Wei Changsheng in the south will also chase over, and then we have no place to retreat, and we can only end up defeated. ”
Chen Luo regarded those granaries as if they were treasures, he was afraid that he would lead his troops west into someone to seize his granary, trapped in the Luoyang area and did not dare to come out, without a little foresight, and gave us the land in Guanzhong in vain, are we also as stupid as him, let Guanzhong not go, and give it to others? Once the opportunity is missed, it is hard to find. Father, I know you can't really believe their words, they say they want to defend Jinyang, but in fact, they want to take care of their home, save their lives, and find a nice excuse for this! My father educated Rong Hua when he was a child, and he specialized in art, and now you are fighting a war, do you want to ask us who are fighting wars, and ask them what those literati do! ”
"Our Xie family has sacrificed too much for this uprising, Chang'an's home has been destroyed, the grave of the Xie family has been dug up, the mother has been thrown into the wilderness, my sister and Lingzhen are still waiting for us in H County, even if my sister is powerful, she has always been a lone soldier, and she can't support too long of the days, if we go back like this, then she and Lingzhen have only a way to die, Lingzhen finally picked up a life, does my father want to watch him lose it again? For them, and for the sake of those deceased relatives, we can't retreat half a point, marshal, Rong Hua is willing to make a military order to the marshal, if you can't kill Wei Changsheng and capture Huoyi, Rong Hua is willing to cut off his head to see you! ”
Xie Yun looked at the stubborn child in front of him, he suddenly found that he was no longer a child, Xie Yun said with emotion: "Ronghua, you have finally convinced your father." ”
Xie Ronghua stood up with a happy face and said excitedly: "Thank you father, I will not let my father down." ”
Xie Yun sent someone to call Xie Yunzhi and said his decision, Xie Yunzhi also agreed very much, and sent someone to recover the soldiers who had set off, early in the morning of the second day, Xie Yun relied on his own dream, and told everyone that the mountain god entrusted the dream to remind himself that the autumn rain would stop soon, and if we advance, he would help us seize Huoyi, and if we retreated, there would be a catastrophe. Pei Zhi and the others already knew what happened last night and knew that it was just an excuse, but Xie Yun was a marshal, and he was powerless to oppose what he decided. 、
God also seemed to be helping the Xie family, within two days, the rain gradually stopped, Wen Dayou also transported the grain and grass, he told Xie Yun that everything was fine in Jinyang, so that he didn't have to worry, Xie Yun was glad that he did not retreat, Xie Yun's dream gradually spread in the army, the soldiers looked at God to help themselves, all of them were full of confidence, and the morale of the army was unprecedentedly high.
After two days of rectification, the army continued to set out, taking the road south from Huosd, getting closer and closer to the first city they wanted to capture, Huoyi.
Huo Shan is under the sun, the autumn is high and cool, and the mountains and forests after the rain exude a unique atmosphere, which is refreshing, Xie Yun looked at Huoyi City in the distance under the mountain, and said to his two sons: "Today's action will be handed over to the two generals." ”
"Marshal rest assured, the last general will live up to the trust." Xie Yunzhi and Xie Ronghua clenched their fists and led part of the left and right commanders towards Huoyi.
"Rong Hua, now God is helping us, then Wei Changsheng looks at this situation, I'm afraid he won't dare to fight us head-on, if he keeps closing the door, how can we be good?" Xie Yunzhi looked at Huo Yi, who was closing the city gate not far away, and frowned.
"As far as I know, this Wei Changsheng was born in a humble manner, and his current status is due to the reputation of the various bandits in the customs during this time, and he was reused by the imperial court. Let us first send men to the city to scold him, and if he does not fight. We can then falsely accuse him of secretly communicating with us, and he has no knowledge, and many of the people below will not obey him, and they will definitely suspect him and go up to the secret to accuse him, and then he will not have to do anything with us, and he is afraid that he will have good fruit to eat. Xie Ronghua stood on his horse and looked at Huo Yi confidently, as if it was already in his hands.
Xie Yunzhi nodded and said, "You are right, he will have to fight in order to clear his suspicions." ”
Xie Ronghua and Xie Yunzhi divided the team into more than a dozen small teams, leading them from the southeast of the city to the southwest of the city, like attacking the city and like setting up camp.
"Wei Changsheng, your grandfather is here, why don't you come out to greet him?"
"Wei Changsheng, Lao Tzu was sent by God to receive you, so you can surrender obediently."
"Wei Changsheng, if you have the courage to stand in my way, you have the courage to come out and fight with Lao Tzu, a shrunken turtle that has not been planted."
……
The people of the city anxiously threw stones and feathered arrows at them, but they did not shoot them when they were far away, but instead of being shot, the people of the city shouted and scolded back in a more obscene language.
Xie Ronghua smiled and rode on the horse, stepped forward and said something in Cui Jianyun's ear, Cui Jianyun nodded, and led everyone to follow Xie Ronghua around Huoyi City, scolding non-stop.
After turning around a few times, seeing that Xie Yun's large army had arrived in the distance, he motioned for the scolding army to continue, and he rode his horse to join Xie Yun's army, reported the information he got to Xie Yun one by one, and drew a topographic map near Huoyi.
Wei Changsheng's body was hidden in the armor, enduring the constant insults from the city, he frowned, and asked the soldiers beside him, "Who is the young general who just left?" ”
