"Your Highness, the enemy army is about to fight, isn't it in our calculations? But the end will ...... His Highness Guan was skeptical, and this was the time of battle...... Your Highness may wish to talk to us, and the last general will share your worries for Your Highness......"
It was Liu Shirang, the general doctor, who spoke.
This is a standard Kansai Shiwang disciple, Jingzhaoren clan, who was originally committed to Shun Li Yuan with Fufeng Tong, and was captured by Xue Ju when he first refused Xue Ju, Li Shimin led his troops to break Xue Rengao, and he was released from the Qinzhou prison, and persuaded Zhai Changsun to surrender to Tang with Qinzhou City.
He is not a descendant of the Qin Dynasty, but he admires the exploits of the Qin King Li Shimin and the Qin King's appreciation for him in the court.
And if it weren't for Li Shimin's recommendation, he would not have been so reused.
At this time, most of the generals had dispersed, and only a few people such as Duan Zhixuan, Zhai Changsun, and Hou Junji were left behind by Li Shimin.
In fact, everyone can see that Li Shimin is a little less confident in the upcoming war.
This is also quite understandable, King Qin led his army to cross the river to attack the Longmen Ferry, and it is not surprising that he was afraid of the enemy and cowardly in the face of defeat.
And how to persuade is what these people must do.
In fact, Li Shimin's forehead has been deeply locked, and by the way, it has also locked everyone's fighting spirit, and everyone who has been in battle for a long time naturally knows how terrible such a situation is when the war is imminent.
The words of persuasion have already come to everyone's lips, but Liu Shirang is not in the Tiance Mansion, so he has fewer scruples, so he can take the lead in speaking.
In fact, Liu Shirang wanted to say that it was just a small defeat, why was His Highness so worried? But after the words came out, it was much more tactful.
Li Shimin listened, shook his head slightly, and finally smiled and said: "What I am worried about is not that the enemy's soldiers are strong, their morale is high, and their soldiers are brave...... Alas, who is Zhang Lun? Yanmen pawn, after voting for me, he made many meritorious deeds, but he surrendered to the enemy...... You already know the previous story, so you don't need to tell more. β
Speaking of this, Li Shimin got up and paced a few steps with his hands on his shoulders before he said quietly: "If the princes stand side by side today, each family gathers talents and attacks each other...... Today's general trend is the first thing for me to employ people, when we waited for Xue Rengao to break, not my ability alone, if there is no help from you, how can I win? β
Everyone listened quietly, and they all noticed that King Qin's words gradually brought anger, they were all regarded as King Qin's henchmen, except for Liu Shirang, they had followed Li Shimin for a long time, and they all had some guesses in their hearts.
Sure enough, Li Shimin then said: "At the beginning of the Taiyuan army that day, the heroes of Jindi rushed to join each other, and went south for more than ten battles, and there was a momentum like a bamboo, but now let's take a look, Li Ding'an actually gathered the three counties of the state in an instant, lightly took Jinyang Jiancheng, and then broke our army, and ordered the Pei family to bow down......"
"In the past few years, people's hearts have turned their backs to Si, which is really lamentable, hateful and annoying."
At this time, everyone was already worried in their hearts, and what they said had nothing to do with the current war, and the spearhead was pointed at ...... Well, this matter is not surprising, after Liu Wenjing was punished for plotting against him, as a subordinate of King Qin, they have long been dissatisfied with some people in the court.
Therefore, even if Li Shimin said more intensely, they were a little apprehensive at most.
Hou Junji blinked his unique little eyes, and finally took advantage of the words to speak, "What His Highness said is extremely true, if you want to win the world, you must first win the hearts of the people in the world, and today's matter is just that, with Your Highness here, you will definitely be able to lead us to retake the land of Jin and cut off the head of Li Ding'an." β
"With unclear people and unfair rewards and punishments, in the long run, even if you win more battles, what's the use?"
There is a bit of truth in what he said, but the effect at this time is like adding fuel to the fire, Liu Shirang immediately frowned, Duan Zhixuan glared at Hou Junji viciously, as for Zhai Changsun, he lowered his head and went to drink tea.
What does Hou Junji say, he was originally just a rogue in Guanxi, and he did a lot of idle things, and later entered the Qin Palace, fought in the northwest with the army, and finally showed his enviable ability to lead the troops.
So he gradually completed the transformation from a scoundrel to a leading general.
This person has been an official eunuch for generations, and he can't say that he has no foundation, but since he joined the army, he can also say that he has a meritorious status that he has fought hard with swords and guns, so this person is very popular among the generals in the army, but among the generals of Tiance Mansion, he is a standard outlier.
This person is actually similar to Yang Su when he was young, and he is very disciplined in doing things, but all kinds of means always give people a feeling of doing everything.
The superior and the people under his command see his talents, but as a colleague, it is difficult to like such a character.
It's like interjecting at this moment, and he is completely following Li Shimin's meaning.
Fortunately, Li Shimin was not confused, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I said this today, but I just felt it, and I also want everyone to remember that we are leveling the world, just to return peace to the people of the world, and benefit future generations, rather than letting those foolish people occupy a high position and enjoy glory and wealth by virtue of their family background." β
"Therefore, if there is a virtuous person in the future, regardless of his background, he can recommend it to me......"
"Your Highness is wise......" Several people responded one after another, of course, they were willing to shoot this sycophant, King Qin's open-mindedness has always been admired by them, and now it is just confirmed again.
Li Shimin sat down, his face finally eased, patted the table and said with a smile: "I have said a lot, but this battle in front of me still has to be fought." β
"You have also listened to what everyone said before, so you might as well speak up if you have any good ideas."
The hall fell silent for a moment, and several people bowed their heads in thought.
In the end, it was Duan Zhixuan who took the lead and said: "This is the end of winter, the weather is still cold, if the enemy army comes to attack at this time, the time is in me, our army is guarding along the river, the location has been exhausted, and His Royal Highness personally sits in the town to lead the troops, General Murong...... Death, the indignation of the army, determined to take revenge, so united, morale available, people and also me. β
"At this time, if Li Ding'an crosses the river to attack, he will break the Yier ......"
Liu Shirang echoed, "What General Duan said is that I see that the enemy army is quite urgent, and it should be under the continuous victory of the battle, and the heart of the enemy is arrogant, and then I am afraid that I want to take advantage of the river to cross the river to fight when the river is frozen, as long as I hold the key pass, it is not difficult to win." β
Hou Junji listened to what they said, and first sneered in his heart, whether it was Duan Zhixuan or Liu Shi, he was a little despised by him.
Duan Zhixuan is an old minister of Taiyuan, and in Hou Junji's opinion, there is nothing to be gained except for being older.
Liu Shirang is even more funny, he was originally meritorious because of his dedication to Fufeng County, and then he was captured by Xue Ju and pressed in Qinzhou Prison, what talent can such a person have?
And now you can see what they are talking about, empty words, do you think you are Zhuge Kongming?
So, he hammered his chest and sang the opposite.
"Your Highness, if Li Ding'an wants to cross the river, there are only two places, one is Longmen, and the other is Pusaka, and he chose to march at the end of winter, and there is one more place where the army can cross the river smoothly, it seems that he should have the heart to cross the river and fight."
"You can choose where to cross the river, but it is still difficult to make a conclusion, now two parts of our army are stationed in Feng Yi and Hancheng, the military strength is inevitably scattered, if the enemy crosses the river with all its strength to win, once the crossing is lost, there will be a worry of being divided and broken......
When Hou Junji said this, he looked at Duan Zhixuan with his small eyes that shimmered and said, "General Duan's so-called heavenly time, hehe, this is the end of winter, how many times is it going to be spring?" I see, the enemy's military opportunity seems to me to be a very good choice. β
"Speaking of geographical advantages, if the river is turbulent, it will be fine, but now that the river is frozen, the geographical advantage is weak."
"As for the people, it is even more nonsense, if the whole army is concerned, I think that under the successive victories of the army and the army, will it not take advantage of the power of the people?"
This is obviously talking with a face, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but be angry, but he knew that although Hou Junji was not learned and unskilled, but this person had sharp teeth and a good reputation for argumentation, so he didn't want to entangle with this person on his tongue, so he just said coldly: "Hey, it seems that General Hou has a plan, so in your opinion, what should it be?" β
Hou Junji smiled and said to Li Shimin: "According to the opinion of the last general, it is better to follow the story of Sang Xian and the general, burn the Puban Bridge, gather a large number of troops to defend Hancheng, if the enemy army comes with all his strength, it can also be chiseled through the ice and covered on the river." β
Duan Zhixuan just wanted to refute it, there are many loopholes in this strategy, and if you pierce it, you will definitely see blood.
But Hou Junji didn't give him this opportunity, and then said: "If this strategy is not in line with His Highness's wishes, the last general will have another strategy, why not let Tang Neishi lead the army into Puban, and I, Chen Chong, will be in Hancheng." β
"If Li Ding'an leads the army to attack Puban, I can cross the river to attack Jiangjun and cut off its way back, and if it crosses the river from Longmen, then Tang Neishi can also lead the army to the north, so that he can take care of one and lose the other."
This strategy has some appearance, but Li Shimin looked at the young Hou Junji, and secretly shook his head in his heart, he is still too young, if he can be older, it is estimated that there will be one more rare good general in the palace of King Qin.
The latter strategy sounds good, but Hou Junji is comparing the Tang army with the troops and horses led by Li Ding'an, and he has been in the northwest for a long time, and he probably didn't pay attention to the many rumors before.
And on behalf of the soldiers and horses, the sharpest one, it is none other than the cavalry, this kind of back and forth attack on the enemy's flank, so that the enemy is difficult to care about the strategy of dividing the troops, against Xue Rengao, or even the Tang army itself may still become, the enemy is replaced by Li Ding'an, it is likely to be broken by the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind.
Therefore, he chose to fight Li Ding'an on the bank of the Yellow River, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to go directly to Hedong?
