Chapter 005: I Can't afford to lose
Guancheng County Ya.
Yang Tong knelt and sat as the chief, and below were Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Niu Jinda.
"I've decided to withdraw from Guancheng!"
"Why?" Luo Shixin, who fought to the death to defend the city gate, was the first to stand it and almost jumped up.
"Because we can't hold it."
"Although Guancheng is not a strong city, it is also a high and thick city, easy to defend and difficult to attack! Now the morale of our army is booming, and it can somewhat consume some thief troops. Qin Qiong didn't directly object, but her attitude had already been revealed!
He meant to keep!
"I can keep it, I can't afford it!" Yang Tong's cold gaze was like a sharp blade, sweeping from the faces of the four generals one by one, and slowly explained: "If I am Zhai Rang, if I can't defeat Guancheng, I won't fight!" directly surrounded the city and harassed it day and night, making the defenders restless and restless. ”
"The soldiers of the imperial court in Henan Province are more than 40,000 people in our hands! Once we are trapped here, then Zhai Rang can divide his troops to conquer Kangcheng, Xinzheng, and Yangcheng, kill Luokoucang, and defeat the eastern capital! At that time, even if Wagang doesn't beat us, we will die of exhaustion and starvation. ”
Luo Shixin sighed: "It would be easier if there were more troops." ”
"The Xiaoguo Army is the most elite warrior of the Great Sui, both offensive and defensive, but it is a cavalry, and its biggest role is to fight sports warfare in the field. Therefore, the tiger must be out of the gate! ”
Yang Tong's analysis was completely reasonable, so that the four generals had nothing to refute.
Qin Qiong muttered: "What His Highness said is extremely true, defending the city is indeed an unwise move to cocoon itself!" But has Your Highness thought about it? We have just won a battle, and we finally raised our morale, and in the blink of an eye, we abandoned the city and fled, which was a very terrible blow to the whole army, and even led to the great escape of the Eastern Capital! The eastern capital is in chaos, and the world is shaken. ”
"Morale is important, but the army is even more important!" Yang Tong said slowly: "As long as the army is there, the city can be recaptured if it is lost, and the army is gone, it will be all over!" We can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place! Besides, even if there is a panic in the Eastern Capital, it will be a matter for the future. If we had a bigger victory, it would be different. ”
"A bigger victory?" The four generals looked at each other in amazement.
"Where's the victory?"
"Burning the city!" At this moment, Yang Tong's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade.
Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The method is good, but will Zhai Rang be fooled?" ”
"Do you know anything about Zhai Rang?" Yang Tong asked rhetorically.
After pondering slightly, Qin Qiong said: "Zhai Rang's martial arts are strong and courageous, heroic and magnificent, and he was a Dongjun Facao in his early years, but this person is particularly good at gambling and gambling is not good, he lost in a hurry, killed more than 30 gamblers, and was to be executed." Huang Junhan was his friend and quietly released him, so he died in Wagang and gathered to be a thief. Under his painstaking management, Wagang has grown step by step and has faintly become the leader of the thieves from all walks of life in the Central Plains. ”
"What is this man's resourcefulness and ambition?"
"I used to be ambitious, but after living a good life, Zhai let Xiaofu be safe, for so many years, he actually didn't even dare to attack a county town, if it weren't for his friends Huang Junhan, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji to help him, he wouldn't have been able to create this great situation."
Yang Tong nodded, this is actually a common problem of all the leaders of the rebel army, if it is not for the event, they do not have the courage to rebel at all, but once they live a prosperous life, they begin to enjoy life, and no longer have the ambition to enterprising, in their minds, the imperial court has always been an indestructible behemoth, and there is no courage to directly challenge the imperial court and dare to be the first in the world.
"What is his relationship with Zhai Hong? received the news that Zhai Hong's father and son died in battle, do you think he will come? Yang Tong asked again.
"Zhai Rang was brought up by Zhai Hong, and the relationship is very good. He will definitely come. ”
Hearing this, Yang Tong laughed and said: "According to the news I heard from the captives is that Huang Junhan is sitting in Wagang, Xu Shiji and Li Mi are besieging Tiger Prison Pass, and Shan Xiongxin is half dead, so there is no wise man around him." Wagang arrived in Xingyang, and Zhai Rang came to Guancheng from Xingyang again, and the tired army was already exhausted! If the gates of the city were wide open and there were no soldiers around, there was no reason why he who liked to enjoy himself should not go into the city to rest and sleep in the ice and snow. ”
Looking at Yang Tong, who looked relaxed, Qin Qiong said curiously: "Your Highness, it seems that you still have nothing to say."
"I'm very entangled now, how can I let Zhai Rang survive!" Yang Tong said.
The four generals were suddenly surprised.
"Zhai makes a small fortune that is peaceful, has no ambitions, is not a qualified leader, lacks due worry and responsibility, this kind of person cannot achieve great things, not terrible. And Li Mi, the second leader of Wagangzhai, is different, completely different. ”
"Li Mi is from an aristocracy, wise and brave, thoughtful, he was Yang Xuangan's military advisor, restraining military discipline, training elite soldiers, and governing the people, and knows how to establish political power and govern the world! Before Li Mi, Wagang was just a loose sand and rabble, but with Li Mi's joining, Wagang is slowly transforming into the direction of the princes and kings of the divided side. Compared with the chaotic people, strict military discipline is more difficult to deal with. If Zhai Rang dies, Li Mi, as the second leader, will be the first person in Wagang,"
"If Li Mi is in power, the various systems will be able to be implemented almost without any hindrance. At the beginning of the transformation of Wagang, we were powerless to extinguish it, so we could only watch Wagang quench off the impurities and transform into a sharp sword. When we are about the same strength, this sword has already been formed, and when the time comes, a tragic bloody battle cannot be avoided. We are in the light, and the Wagang that has been sharpened into the edge is in the dark, and we have missed in the congenital, and the victory or defeat is really unpredictable. But as long as Zhai Rang is alive, he is the decision-maker of Wagang, and the Wagang army is a plate of loose sand defeated in World War I. Therefore, he is alive, and the good for us outweighs the harm! ”
Yang Dong's words were exquisite, which made the four generals very amazed and very emotional, King Yue had such a far-sighted mind.
"Zhai Rang doesn't say it, it's insignificant, but Li Mi, a thief, kills the master, and Mojing will definitely kill him." Luo Shixin is Zhang Xutuo's apprentice, Zhang Xutuo treats him like a son, doubly affectionate, and this hatred will not be let go.
Yang Tong said: "General Shixin just rest assured, Li Mi will be in endless trouble after he lives, and he will be killed if he can." ”
Luo Shixin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
Yang Tong smiled and said, "Although Zhai Rang can't kill him, he must take the opportunity to take Xingyang City!" ”
"Xingyang City and the Yellow River are two lines, and they converge into one corner at the Tiger Pass! As long as Xingyang is recaptured, Li Mi's army, which is besieging Tiger Prison Pass, will be surrounded by us in a narrow corner......"
Yang Tong took out the map and began to assign tasks.
The explanation was very detailed, and all links were mentioned, and as soon as Qin Qiong heard it, she knew that Yang Tong had put a lot of effort into it.
Yang Tong is not the kind of short-sighted person, it is gratifying to defeat Shan Xiongxin, but there is a lot of luck, if it weren't for Shan Xiongxin and others not to take Yang Tong in their eyes and want to capture him alive and beat him to death, there will be no easy victory later.
Brother Zhai Hong and nephew Zhai Mohou were killed, Zhai Rang was eager to take revenge, and he must bring all the elite of the Wagang army from Xingyang County.
I don't want to beat Yang Tong, and I can't afford it.
