Chapter 43: Li Mu
After all the generals went out, Duan Shao also returned to his previous peaceful demeanor, "There were many people just now, and everyone had different opinions, now they all say their own thoughts and see how to break the situation?" β
As soon as Duan Shao's words fell, Qi Lian suddenly pulled this throat and shouted: "Hey, I think that now that my army is recuperating, it is better to set up a position and fight to the death with Yuwentai and others, and decide the victory in one fell swoop, and by the way, directly erase the luck of the Yubi defenders to continue to resist Wang Shi, so that they will no longer dare to continue to resist." β
Tang Yong was noncommittal, and retorted: "No, Yuwentai mobilized the 50,000 iron cavalry from the whole country, most of them are from the border areas, that is not a new soldier, my Fennan army is only 15,000 people, you can't fight hard, it is better to defend the city." β
Fu Fu also nodded and agreed: "I also think that Daohe is reasonable, now that he is deep in the enemy territory, the people's hearts are not stable, for example, the people of Fennan City, whether they are really of one heart and one mind with us, could it be that we waited for the flooding of Fennan before, and then took Fennan City, don't the people in the city hate us?" β
"Fu Fu, Hugh is talking nonsense! If you discuss the military situation, you will discuss the military situation, why do you bring up this matter? Duan Shao heard Fu Fu pull out the matter of "flooding Fennan", and Li Muzheng, the guard of Fennan at that time, was still sitting on the side......
Fu Fu also knew that he had lost his words when he heard this, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, then looked at Li Mu apologetically, and apologized: "General Li Mu, I lost my words for a moment just now, and I didn't do it intentionally. β
"Hmph, Brother Fu Fu, you are too girly, that's just the case, someone's talent is insufficient, and he was attacked by my army, which led to the city being broken and captured." I only heard Qi Lian Meng sitting next to him, glaring at Li Mu with cold eyes, sneering, it turned out that Li Mu's stubborn resistance before caused Qi Lian to break the city hopelessly, and almost lost his life, and finally Duan Shao broke the embankment and flooded Fennan City, which led to the destruction of the city, and Li Mu himself was captured.
After Duan Shao heard this, he was immediately furious, and pointed at Qi Lian and reprimanded him violently: "Bold, you husband, how dare you be so yin and yang...... General Li Mu is a guest of our Great Wei Army, and although our army has narrowly won, it does not mean that General Li's talent is inferior to ours. β
Duan Shao's eyes glanced sharply at the generals in the camp, and everyone was silent, for fear of touching the moldy head, Qi Lianmeng was even more reprimanded like a wronged little daughter-in-law, bowing his head and saying nothing. And Gao Yang noticed that from beginning to end, Li Mu did not react, and was always indifferent, as if what happened in the camp had nothing to do with him, at least this heart is worthy of Gao Yang's admiration, none of the famous generals in ancient times are easy to get along with.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the camp was a little embarrassing, Gao Yang hurriedly stood up and said to Duan Shao: "Duan Shuai, the last general also agreed to defend the city, now the weather is colder, the Fen River is frozen tightly, and secondly, in order to prevent the enemy from also using the plan of breaking the embankment and flooding the city, the last general has already arranged for the drainage system to be dug in the city, it can be said that it is useless to use this plan again." Then, according to the earlier plan, General Fu would lead 3,000 iron cavalry outside the city as a guerrilla army to harass the enemy troops besieging the city at any time. β
Duan Shao nodded and said, "It can only be like this, what other good strategies do you have?" β
Seeing that everyone in the camp did not speak, Duan Shao said solemnly: "Since everyone agrees with this strategy, then go out and prepare, this time the defense of the city is very dangerous, and I hope that all the gentlemen will work together to tide over the difficultiesββ"
Walking out of the camp, Gao Yang was about to walk towards the Xiaoguo army, but was stopped by one of Duan Shao's cronies: "General Gao, Duan Shuai is invited, I hope you will go to the camp again." β
Gao Yang had a puzzled expression on his face when he heard this, and looked at the guards on the side, and the guards next to him seemed to see the meaning of Gao Yang's gaze, shook his head and replied: "General Gao, Duan Shuai didn't say anything to summon the general, I really don't know." β
Gao Yang nodded, and had no choice but to return with the guards and walk towards the camp......
In the camp, Duan Shaozheng and Li Mu were chatting and laughing, and they seemed to have a good conversation. After Duan Shao saw Gao Yang coming over, he beckoned and smiled: "Haha, Hou Niyu, come and get to know General Li Mu." β
Gao Yang stepped forward, bowed to Li Mu and said: "A certain Gao Yang greets General Li, General Li's talent, and a certain is also ......like thunder in the Kanto region" Gao Yang's words are true, although Li Mu was not famous in the Western Wei Dynasty and the early Northern Zhou Dynasty, but he was extremely noble in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, not only because he lived long enough, but also related to his own talent, similar to Sima Yi's experience.
Li Mu smiled faintly, he didn't take Gao Yang's praise seriously, he only thought it was a polite remark, but he didn't know that Gao Yang's soul came from modern times, and what he said was from his heart.
"General Gao is young and promising, he quickly cuts through the chaos, fights a decisive battle against jade, goes to Fennan, drives the people to fill the river, sneaks up on Yizhou, and uses the means of requisitioning grain and donating officials to govern Fennan, befriending the strong and strong, and the same is true of Zhong Leyi, the ancient manager." Li Mu said these words with emotion, it seems that the rumors about this son in the outside world before were all false, and the scheming city is so deep, it is simply terrifying.
Gao Yang only smiled slightly after hearing this, and could see that Li Mu said these words from the bottom of his heart, not the kind of person who was kind of false and polite, but also a person with a true temperament, "I don't dare to be it, it's not so exaggerated, I just read Sun Tzu's Art of War more, and since I went on the expedition these days, Duan Shuai has guided me a little before I have some understanding." β
"General Gao is too modest, and he is about to enter the year of not being confused, he has traveled north and south over the years, and has seen many talented people, and it is rare to be able to achieve the general's achievements in the year of the weak crown, and the general should be a genius in the world."
Duan Shao hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "Haha, the two of you don't have to praise each other like this...... Hou Niyu, General Li Mu's talent, this commander admires him very much, you have to communicate with him well, and learn more from General Li. β
Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Duan Shuai don't torture Li, there are many talents under the account of Gao Xiang, how can Li have an axe in this class, you must not ......"
"Brother Li, rest assured, I know that you will not surrender to us, so I will not embarrass you to do something unfavorable to the master, and I said before that we are brothers, this time I am mainly called brothers, please Hu Ni Yu is a nephew, you can look at the face of the elder brother, when you have time, guide Hou Ni Yu more!" Duan Shao said and played a scoundrel.
When Li Mu heard this, he smiled helplessly, and finally had to agree: "Okay, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Li agrees." β
After Duan Shao heard Li Mu's agreement, he laughed out loud: "Haha, Hou Niyu, I don't thank General Li much, I have to learn from General Li when I have time in the future." β
Gao Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, he could be guided by Duan Shao and Li Mu at the same time, he would definitely grow faster, and although Li Mu did not surrender to the Eastern Wei Dynasty now, it does not mean that he will not surrender in the future, he does not believe that Li Mu is the kind of foolish and loyal person, you must know that Li Mu supported Yang Jian to usurp power and build Sui in history, and now he does not surrender because the situation is not clear now, and the right Li family is deeply valued by Yuwentai, he will not fall into the injustice of the family because of personal honor and disgrace, so he will not easily surrender to the Eastern Wei Dynasty...... If one day he takes power and can change the decadent trend of the historical Northern Qi Dynasty from prosperity to decline, then I believe that Li Mu will naturally make the right choice!
