Chapter 148
From a certain point of view, the family, the big family and the evil slaves who fled in embarrassment outside Qi County are essentially deceiving the good and fearing the evil. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only the former is better disguised by the former dressed in Chu Chu, maintaining elegant conversation and rhetoric, and having money, status and power as a halo.
Because of this, after the Jiading troops sent by the big families of Qi County were directly crushed by the Shangdang Xu cavalry in a round of charge, no one dared to mention the matter of the city, but only anxiously asked when the reinforcements would arrive.
Seeing this, Sun Jie was anxious in his heart, but also faintly happy, secretly saying that these guys deserved it, and he was even more glad that he had made a wise decision to protect himself.
Both sides were outside the city and inside the city, waiting for their reinforcements. However, facts have proved that the efficiency of redeploying troops back and forth is far less than early preparation. A few days later, the reinforcements arrived, but it was the reinforcements of the Shangdang Xu clan led by Xu Pan and Xu Heng personally, not only that, Jiang Hua and Liu Zan also repaired the book, saying that they were about to arrive.
Seeing her uncle and brother who had been separated for several months, Xu Hui was extremely happy in her heart, even if Xu Pan's official position was bigger than her, as soon as he came, she would have to become a deputy, and it would not affect her good mood to see her relatives at all. It's just that these three people are not people who are addicted to feelings, and it took a stick of incense to renew the old one, and after talking about the previous strategy and tactics, Xu Hui heard Xu Pan ask himself: "Hui'er, what do you think we should do next?" ”
Xu Hui had already calculated thousands of times in his heart, and discussed with Su Can and Zhou Mo many times, and when he heard the words, he said very neatly: "Qi County, Wu County and Yangyi County are connected to the first line, and Yangyi, Yuci and Jinyang are each other's horns, no matter where they are attacked, they can quickly get reinforcements." In addition, the terrain of Taiyuan County is extremely flat, if we don't take Qi County, or cut off the official road, and prevent Qi and Wu Shuangxian from transporting grain to Yangyi, the situation is really unfavorable to us. ”
In Xu Hui's view, they can do without other towns, only these five counties, which must be defeated. Even if you retreat to the next best, you must capture the three counties of Yangyi, Yuci and Qixian to stabilize your foundation. No matter how many troops are trapped in the depths of a county, they are still waiting for death.
Xu Pan and Xu Heng exchanged a look, obviously agreeing with Xu Hui's opinion, and then, Xu Pan asked Xu Hui again: "Then in your opinion, this Qi County, should we take it well, or attack it well?" ”
Hearing this question, Xu Hui chuckled in his heart, but his face did not show half a point, but he asked with a smile: "Third uncle, brother, what do you think?" ”
"Qi County, I want to fight." Xu Pan did not shy away from saying, "I heard that you won a big victory first, and the enemy's morale is low, but our side is like a rainbow. ”
His ideas were a little different from Xu Hui's, but Xu Hui did not raise objections at the first time, but looked at Xu Heng and asked, "What about Brother?" ”
"Me?" Xu Heng smiled lightly and said, "Qi County is too troublesome, if we can't attack it for a long time, it will break our morale." In my opinion, it is enough to cut off the grain road and go directly to Yangyi. ”
Speaking of this, he was a little arrogant, and said a little contemptuously: "The people of Qi County have been frightened by your round of charge, even if reinforcements come, these big families must be hiding and tucking their subordinates, and they dare not take it out." ”
Hearing that his brother agreed with him, Xu Hui just wanted to say something, but Xu Pan said, "Don't I know that the siege is difficult? But there is little road from Shangdang to Taiyuan, if we go to Yangyi, it is equivalent to going deep alone, not to occupy this Qi County, to have a solid place to live, I am always not at ease in my heart. ”
Seeing what Xu Heng wanted to say, Xu Pan turned around his head, without the demeanor of a coach, only seeing the kindness of his elders: "I know what you want to say, but the party's taxes are already well-known and low in Daqi, and the people have long been yearning." Qi County is the main road for caravans, and the people in the county have a lot of contact with people, and they know a lot about our party, if we enter the city, they will not be embarrassed, and the difficulty is in those big households and the hidden households they control......"
I have to admit that Xu Pan's words are also very reasonable, although the city of Yangyi is not as close to mountains and rivers as Qi County, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is still difficult to fight. What if something went wrong with the defenders on Qixian's side when they attacked Yangyi...... No matter how many troops they bring, they don't have as many people as the whole of Taiyuan, and it is really unwise to consume tactics, if they can occupy Qi County...... Keqi County is stable, and the difficulty of this siege is ...... She didn't forget the request Xu Ze gave them, but it was a "quick solution"! If it drags on for a long time, something happens to Jiankang, so that the surrounding state pastors can find time to seize Taiyuan, then they won't even be able to drink the soup, let alone get meaty and annex Taiyuan to strengthen themselves.
If it weren't for the world's famous generals who could see the pros and cons at a glance and understand how to go, no one would dare to face the dilemma neatly. Xu Hui knew that he had no peerless talent, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly said that he had only stumbled Sun Jie a few days ago, and now it was his turn to fall into such a situation, what is this not a dilemma?
Xu Heng, like Xu Hui, was influenced by his grandfather's theory of "seeking speed", so he naturally wanted to solve it quickly, and he was also stunned when he heard Xu Pan's words. After a while, Fang said slowly: "The third uncle thinks that the big family is difficult to control, but I don't think it may be - Dou Kai is suspicious by nature, and he always likes to install spies in the homes of his cronies. There are many sisters, daughters, nieces and even granddaughters, nieces, and nieces in his family. After we occupy Qi County, we only need to let these people who are in-laws with the Dou family, or all kinds of relatives and the like, kill all these relatives in front of us, and cut down the children with the Dou bloodline to the roots. ”
Xu Pan glanced at Xu Heng and didn't speak again.
Xu Pan is eager to fight on the battlefield, and has always been a little disgusted by the tricks of the ghosts, although Xu Heng came up with this plan at random, although it is good, it is too vicious, and he is not liked by Xu Pan. Fortunately, Xu Pan also knew in his heart that if he wanted to really gain a foothold in Qi County, he really had to do what he had to do, except for not squeaking, he couldn't think of any other way to express his feelings.
Xu Hui still felt that it was far stronger to defend the transportation arteries and the grain roads than to attack the city. You know, if you want to conquer the city, they have to send troops to take care of this place, and if something goes wrong, maybe they will ...... But thinking of the many people brought by Xu Pan, as well as the soldiers who were temporarily recruited from the homeless people, the number of soldiers in units of "thousands" was indifferent.
This kind of striker, if he dies, he can be replenished anyway, and if he can take Qi County, it will naturally be a good thing. It was Xu Hui who hesitated for a moment before asking Xu Pan: "I don't know how many siege equipment the third uncle brought?" ”
When she said this, she was naturally a little moved, Xu Pan saw that her nephews and nieces had adopted her ideas, and her heart was happy, so she waved her hand and said in high spirits: "Don't worry, I have brought siege equipment and craftsmen this time, and they will definitely not be able to cry!" ”
After seeing what Xu Pan brought, Xu Hui finally put his mind at ease and decided to attack the city.
At the suggestion of her and Xu Heng, Xu Pan deliberately divided two teams of elite rangers and foot soldiers to shuttle and patrol the two official roads leading from Qi County to Wu County and Yangyi.
Qi County has been comfortable for many years, without war, Xu Hui besieged the city before, but it was just a small fight, and after the people were panicked, they saw that she didn't do much, and they gradually felt at ease. Who would have thought that today's army was overwhelmed, and as far as the eye could see, the golden wheat fields were covered by soldiers.
Shangdang Xu's catapult has been improved over the years, and the range is farther than that of Qi County, which is to squeak and squeak on this side, working non-stop, and Zhuang Qi led people to drive horses in front, wandering within the range of catapults and bows in the county, beware of the people in the city desperately, rushing out desperately or asking for help.
In fact, Zhuang Qi led people to block it, blocking not the enemy's attacking troops, but the enemy's escape route. Because the big households and officials in Qi County had already been frightened by such battles, they just wanted to pack up their own soft and escape quickly.
Seeing this, Sun Jie scolded these people for being arrogant on weekdays, but at this time they softened; On the one hand, he was thinking about how far he should defend the city, so that he could not only show "loyalty", but also express his "last resort" vividly when he surrendered, so as not to attract infamy?
He was thinking about these things in his heart, but he reprimanded with a righteous face on his face: "The Shangdang soldiers and horses came from afar, and the boats and cars were tiring, even if they cut our wheat, they couldn't withstand the consumption of so many people, and the transportation of grain and grass really remained the same." They are like a rainbow at the moment, but in fact, they are desperate, we only need to delay a little time to frustrate their sharpness, and we can recover the decline. Besides, the official's letter for help was sent out many days ago, and the army expected to support it would arrive in three or five days. We are the kings of the restaurant, and we should be loyal to the lord, how can we run away from the wilderness? ”
Sun Jie's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and he spoke in an orderly and reasonable manner, which really made him curse him "old fox" before, saying that this guy knew how to accumulate money, patted the horse and welcomed him, and the long-sleeved dance was exquisite, but the internal affairs may not be strong, it looked very slippery, and the untrustworthy people were impressed, and it also made Dou Kai's secret agents in Qi County nod frequently, and he only saw the truth when his heart was in danger, and he never thought that Sun Yuanjun was such a person, although he lost his subtlety, he did not fall into righteousness, which was really rare.
However, a slightly more shrewd person, seeing that Sun Jie did not panic in the county, his feet were weak, and if the enemy was in front of him, he could immediately kneel and beg for mercy to "protect" all the big households, his eyes began to drip, and he probably guessed what Sun Jie had in mind.
