Chapter 120
The biggest difference between civilian officials and military generals lies in the four characters "military orders are like mountains". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if you change to most of the civil officials, when you are in the middle of a good dream, you will be disturbed, and you will have to complain, and then you will be anxious to dress and tidy up your appearance...... No matter how fast the speed is, it will have to delay at least one stick of incense, but the generals are not. They have long been accustomed to lying in their clothes, they can sleep lying down, they can sleep on the table, and when the war is fierce, it is even more normal for them to only take time to squint for one or two hours for ten days and a half months, and there is nothing to complain about at all.
This was evident in the speed of their arrival - Xu Lin was the first to arrive, followed by Jiang Hua and his nephew Jiang Ming, and then the four commanders and five commanders of the light cavalry. When the martial arts were almost over, Zhou Mo, Liu Zan and other civil officials were late, and Su Can, who had inconvenient legs and feet, was the last to arrive.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Su Can smiled slightly apologetically, but Xu Hui didn't have the slightest sense of reproach, just said calmly in a businesslike tone: "I just talked with the Chu County Order, and I know that the number of conscriptions in Xiangyuan has not even reached two thousand. The military aircraft must not be delayed, and the manpower cannot be left behind, it is up to me to decide, Captain Jiang and Mr. Liu will bring 500 parts, and Sun Tunchang will accompany the troops, and they will open tomorrow morning, and rush to Tongyu under the stars. I have written a handwritten letter, granting Captain Jiang the right to recruit 3,000 soldiers, and ordered people to hurry up and rush to Tongjiao. When the lieutenant arrives at Tongjiao, the number of people is enough to take it away. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Hui paused, looked around, and said, "If the number of people is not enough...... As long as you don't make a big mess, everything is in power, I don't know what your objections are? ”
Xu Hui thought that no one would object to this decision, but he asked one more question because he was in the posture of a corporal of Lixian, but as soon as her voice fell, Jiang Ming, who was standing behind Jiang Hua, said hurriedly: "No!" ”
It stands to reason that only those who have the qualification of "attending" have the right to speak, and the personal soldiers behind the sovereign have no right to speak. But Jiang Hua is the largest official among the generals present, and Jiang Ming is his nephew, which is different from the other idle soldiers. It was Xu Hui who looked at Jiang Ming and said calmly: "If you can't tell you why, go and get twenty boards yourself." ”
Jiang Ming, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is the youngest son of the patriarch, and is a bit of a flying and domineering appearance. Fortunately, the Jiang family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has not developed and grown, no matter how Jiang Ming tosses, that is, he tosses his own one-acre and three-point land, and he has to prevent his majestic father from kneeling and copying at every turn. Patriarch Jiang has been fighting wits and courage with his son for so many years, and found that this kid's skin is getting thicker and thicker, and there is really no way, so he handed it over to his calm younger brother to discipline and let him be a personal soldier by Jiang Hua's side.
In Jiang Ming's heart, Jiang Hua is both civil and military, not to mention his outstanding demeanor, but also calm and reliable, and he is really a top person in the world who is hard to find. For his uncle, who he had always admired, he had to listen to the orders of Xu Hui, a young girl, and he naturally felt a little resentful, but every time Xu Hui called Zhou Mo before everyone was gathered. Giving people the impression that the order she gave was not what she thought, but was conveyed to her by Zhou Mo, Xu Ze's first confidant, Jiang Ming didn't dare to refute it.
Besides, the beauty of Xu Hui's appearance and good bearing are the only ones Jiang Ming has seen in his life. Compared with Xu Hui, all the beauties Jiang Ming saw in the past became scum, and it was impossible to say that he was not moved. Young Mu Ai, no matter what, he has to behave in front of the people he likes. Therefore, when he saw that Xu Hui made his own decision this time, rather than discussing it with Zhou Mo, Jiang Ming didn't think about it, so he directly opposed it, but when he saw everyone looking at it together, he was a little nervous, and he swallowed for a long time before he barely found an excuse: "Before I knew which way the enemy's main force was, why did I only give so few soldiers to my little uncle?" ”
As soon as Jiang Ming's words came out, Jiang Hua held his forehead and couldn't stop sighing.
For a nephew who has a headache when he sees a book, wants to sleep, runs out every day in a different way, listens to the war, his eyes light up, but he doesn't even want to read the military book, he thinks about competing with others, and thinks that he will not die when he goes to the battlefield, but will only make meritorious contributions, but he is a layman's nephew, what else can he do? Refuse? His official position surpassed that of his elder brother, who was the head of the family, and the two brothers, who were originally good, looked affectionate and affectionate on the outside, but the estrangement and coldness could be felt by everyone. Jiang Hua has the heart to ease the relationship with his brother-in-law, but he can't hinder the other party's heart, and he can see seven or eight meanings in everything, and he always feels that his younger brother has bad intentions and covets the position of the head of the family.
Jiang Hua didn't refuse his brother's request, nor did he refuse, so he had to respond head-on. The only thing that is fortunate is that only Jiang Ming has a pure heart, otherwise Jiang Hua really has no place to complain.
Xu Hui knew about the situation of the Jiang family. These days, she looked at it coldly and found that Jiang Hua acted very steadily, not to mention, and was also very fair, strict with himself, lenient with others, and frank and gentlemanly.
Anyone likes to be friends with gentlemen, and Xu Hui is no exception. Whether it is from the perspective of interests, she feels that Jiang Hua has a great future, or from the perspective of the senses, she has a good evaluation of Jiang Hua, and she is willing to sell Jiang Hua a favor. So she had a cold face, glanced at Jiang Ming with a slightly condescending attitude, and said, "Such a ridiculous question...... Write down the twenty boards, and I'll get them later! ”
Jiang Mingguo protested indignantly, as Xu Hui expected: "Why? ”
"Question the order of the peak, and add twenty boards!" Xu Hui was unhurried and said lightly, "For the sake of you being Captain Jiang's nephew, I don't mind teaching you once, of course, the last time." As for the shackles! Thirty boards, how? ”
Jiang Ming is not a fool, seeing Xu Hui repeatedly and repeatedly, Jiang Hua didn't say anything, and others didn't say anything, so he knew that he must have said layman's words. But he was born to be more stubborn, and his father didn't let him soften in every kind of corporal punishment, so at this moment, knowing that he had made a mistake, Jiang Ming still stiffened his neck, and said without hesitation: "Isn't it seventy boards?" Yes! ”
"Compared with Nexian, Guyuan is more scattered, and once it is attacked by the enemy, people's hearts will definitely disperse, which is true." Xu Hui had already studied the map and information thousands of times, and he didn't have to think about it, he just opened his mouth, "But Guyuan is surrounded by mountains on both sides and faces water on both sides, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack." Have you ever seen a single army that crossed mountains and mountains, and did not ask for the speed of soldiers, but ran to attack the city? ”
Siege has always been the most critical part of the war, and it is also the most time-protracted part, if it cannot be solved quickly, it will drag on for a long time, and it is not clear who will win and who will lose. When people build cities, the most ideal place is such as Luoyang, Taiyuan, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side around the water, if it is richer, it is not a problem to keep it for three years and five years, and it can drag people to death. Therefore, an officer with a little brain would not make such a low-level mistake, which is also the reason why Xu Hui has a great responsibility - she has to take a lone army, and after winning the invading enemy, she has to go over the mountains and mountains to attack other people's cities.
Jiang Ming was speechless by Xu Hui's few words, but he was especially unconvinced, arguing: "What if they tricked the city gate? It's better than attacking Nexian, right? ”
Chen Qiu, the commander of Guyuan County, is a very talented person, who once had a glorious record of solving hundreds of cases every day, but he is also a very casual and informal person. He is greedy for money, the reason is that only enough money can satisfy his alcohol addiction, so for him, as long as his subordinates send him money, and then the general policy is good, some small actions, he will completely turn a blind eye. Not to mention how far this kind of behavior will make people's hearts scattered, just saying that "drinking and making mistakes" is enough to give people a headache. From a certain point of view, if Chen Qiu was drunk when the enemy sneaked up or deceived the gate, and the people under him collected a little money, it was really possible to be fooled, but Jiang Ming, the kid, seemed to have forgotten......
"I said, the soldiers are fast!" Arguing about this, Xu Hui was not only angry, but a little crying and laughing, and finally understood Jiang Hua's feelings, "Captain Jiang and Mr. Liu will go to Guyuan!" ”
Hearing her deliberately point this out and increase the volume, Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his face was red, and he only felt embarrassed.
Such as Guyuan County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is dangerous, the most taboo defenders are stable, you can use a hundred tricks, a thousand schemes, I walk by myself to shrink the defense flow. If this situation really happens, if there are many troops, you can occupy all the towns next to them, let them be alone, and compare who consumes more energy. If the strength of the troops is almost the same, or even just one or two generations...... Let's go home, wash and sleep!
Guyuan County made Chen Qiu really unreliable, so what? If the surprise attack is guessed, then it is not a surprise attack, not to mention that Jiang Hua and Liu Zan are about to lead their troops over! If it is really as Xu Hui expected, the enemy divided his troops, mainly attacked Niexian, and attacked Guyuan, encountering such a formation, it was almost doomed to be in vain, but the pressure on Niexian's side was a little greater. If the other party doesn't take the usual path, it doesn't matter, just rely on Liu Zhan's grasp of people's hearts, his understanding of the military, and the degree of immorality in his actions, coupled with Jiang Hua's stability and prestige, after sobering up, Chen Qiu's understanding of Guyuan County, let alone dragging it out for ten days and a half months, waiting for the reinforcements to come, and cooperating with the reinforcements to annihilate, even if the reinforcements did not come, it was not impossible to win more with less. If not, Xu Hui would arrange it like this? Xu Ze, who guessed her thoughts, would acquiesce?
Seeing that Jiang Ming was about to bury his head in the soil, Jiang Hua said lightly: "The owl has a rotting rat, and wants to scare the chicks, the nephew is ignorant, and the general laughs." Later, I will take him to get seventy boards, and not a single board is missing. ”
He belittled Jiang Ming very low, but there was no rebuke in his words, and others would not follow his words. It was Xu Hui who smiled and said lightly: "People are not born to know, and it is normal to be confused about some things. In a few words, I also beg to be restrained, how can I be such a stingy person? (To be continued.) )
