Qi Lianmeng heard Gao Yang's admonition, his heart tightened at the moment, and he hurriedly bowed to Duan Shao on the main seat, and apologized: "Duan Shuai, it was the last general who was reckless, and I also asked Duan Shuai to forgive the last general for the crime of being rude in front of the army." ”

In the era when Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was in power, although he gave a lot of preferential treatment to the generals, Gao Huan started from humility and resisted the following crusade against the Zhu clan, which led to his current achievements, so he attached great importance to the relationship between the upper and lower levels, and at the same time, in order to show everyone the authority of a high-ranking person, the Eastern Wei Dynasty often punished the following crimes of disrespect. Qi Lianmeng's disrespectful incident in front of the army just now, although it is not a big deal, but if Duan Shao cares about it, everyone has nothing to say about cutting off his head, after all, it is said that he disobeyed the commander's military orders, and at the small level, it is said that it is a noise in front of the army, how to look at it depends on Duan Shao, the commander's words.

Fortunately, Gao Yang reminded Qi Lianmeng in time, so he realized his mistake in time, humbly pleaded guilty to Duan Shao, and gave Duan Shao enough face, otherwise no matter how much Duan Shao forgave him, he would severely punish Qi Lianmeng in order to maintain the majesty of the commander.

Everyone was silent, and pinched a cold sweat in their hearts for Qi Lianmeng, only to see Duan Shao coldly "hum", he knew that Qi Lianmeng was a rude and reckless man, plus they were all Xianbei nobles who had been friends for many years, and there was nepotism among their relatives, Duan Shao planned to spare Qi Lianmeng's capital crime, but the capital crime could not be escaped, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Where is the military official?" Qilian is noisy in the fierce army, how to punish according to the law? ”

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a civilian official on the right side of the seat hurriedly stepped out of the queue and responded loudly: "Qiqi Marshal, there is a lot of noise in the army, and you will be beaten by the law rod for a hundred." ”

"Okay, Qi Lianmeng, this commander thinks that you are worried about the military situation, and you should be dealt with by military law, but at present, it is a plan to employ people, and for the time being, you will be allowed to wear the crime and make meritorious service, if you make meritorious service later, you can be exempted from this punishment, if you continue to make up for the punishment after the war, can you be convinced?"

Qi Lianmeng's expression was nervous, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, when he heard that the cane hit a hundred, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, the cane in the army is not the burning stick in the hands of those officials in the county government, and if you don't die with a hundred sticks, you have to take off a layer of skin, and then hurriedly thanked him: "The last general is convinced, thank you Duan Shuai's subordinates for their mercy." ”

Duan Shao waved his hand and said: "That's it, now the siege is not going well, presumably everyone is in a hurry, this commander still has a plan, if the siege is smooth, he will not plan to use it, after all, it is too hurtful, I didn't expect to use this poisonous trick in my waist." ”

After speaking, Duan Shao looked at Gao Yang and said, "Second son, can you tell everyone about it for Ben Shuai." ”

Gao Yang bowed and said, "Wow! He immediately narrated it to everyone.

It turned out that since the army surrounded Fennan, Duan Shao took Gao Yang to check the surrounding terrain, Fennan City is located on the mountainside of the Luliang Mountains, the Fen River is from the top of the mountain downstream, bypassing the main gate of Fennan, forming a natural moat, it began to freeze in winter, in order to isolate the attack of the Eastern Wei army, Li Mu arranged for soldiers to dig ice and defend it very early, resulting in the Eastern Wei army had to drive the people to fill sandbags across the river.

Looking at the frozen Fen River, without the hustle and bustle of the past, Duan Shao pointed to the terrain and said to Gao Yang: "Second son, looking at this terrain, what do you think?" ”

Since Gao Huan sent Gao Yang to Duan Shao as a general, he intended to cultivate the military talent of this second son, Duan Shao of course understood that if there was no Gao Huan's order, he would never be able to participate in the power struggle between the two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Yang, after all, everyone knows that the Gao family will one day usurp the throne of the Yuan clan and become a royal family, then the two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Yang will definitely face the battle for the throne, and Gao Cheng is the prince, if nothing else, the probability of ascending to the throne is relatively large, Duan Shao will not even have this bit of political acumen. But now that Gao Huan is still there, Duan Shao is even more loyal to Gao Huan, and Gao Yang himself is talented, and he has been constantly making plans and showing superb military talent during this period of time, so he will not ignore Gao Yang in public and private, but on the contrary, he intends to cultivate Gao Yang, so he treats Gao Yang as an apprentice and teaches him a lot of military tactics.

Of course, Gao Yang knew Duan Shao's kindness, and was grateful for his cultivation grace, and he studied and instructed diligently, you must know that Duan Shao later was known as the Three Masters of Northern Qi with Hu Lvguang and Gao Changgong, and he guarded Jinyang for more than ten years, suppressing the Northern Zhou Dynasty and making it difficult to move an inch, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the Optimus Pillar of Northern Qi.

Gao Yang looked at the Fen River under Luliang Mountain, which was already frozen at this time, like a white ribbon, draped on the mountain, and from a distance, Fennan City was like a diamond inlaid in this white ribbon, shining faintly under the sunlight. Gao Yang pondered in his heart, could it be that Duan Shao wanted to burst the embankment and flood the city? But now that it is winter, the entire Fen River has frozen, and the thicker it gets to the top of the mountain, it cannot achieve the effect of flooding Fencheng at all, and he asked suspiciously: "Duan Shuai wants to break the embankment and flood the city?" ”

Duan Shao didn't speak, just smiled faintly and said, "Oh? If the second son has any clever ideas, let's listen to them? ”

Gao Yang shook his head lightly and said: "Forgive the last general is dull, after being prompted by the marshal, I thought of the clever plan of breaking the embankment and flooding the city, and I didn't think of any other plan, but unfortunately the river froze in winter, and the plan to break the embankment did not work." ”

Duan Shao laughed and pointed to the Fenhe River in the distance: "The ancients said that 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', but when marching and fighting, seeing is often not believing, you need to think hard and practice it yourself." The second son only saw the Fen River frozen, but could not see the Fen River coordinates here to the sun, although the river was frozen, but it was not too thick, and now it was early winter, and it was not yet the coldest time, the river ice must not be too thick, and you only need to send someone to verify it. ”

At that moment, Duan Shao sent a team of soldiers to the mountainside to probe, and he was basking in the sun here leisurely, admiring the scenery in the mountain, while Gao Yang was absent-minded.

At this time, from the mountain overlooking the city of Fennan not far away, the Eastern Wei army is erecting ladders to attack the city, the battle is extremely dangerous, from time to time there are Eastern Wei soldiers after attacking the battlements, and then they are beaten down, even He Ba Shiwen and Murong Shisu personally dismounted to participate in the siege of the city, but was stabbed by the soldiers defending the city, fortunately was saved by the comrades who arrived in time, and then picked up a life. Gao Yang looked at it with affection in his heart, but Duan Shao seemed to be admiring a work of art, with a look of enjoyment on his face, which made Gao Yang call him a cold-blooded butcher in his heart.

Gao Yang's heart was dull, thinking of his three thousand soldiers, all young and energetic lives, even Liu Wu, as the leader of the team, was seriously injured and carried down in the previous siege, and now he is still unconscious, not to mention the other most basic soldiers, I don't know how many people can survive this time, he shook his head lightly, and sighed sadly: "Alas, once the success will be achieved, the pressure on my army in this war is heavier than that of the main army of Yubi, and I don't know how many brothers can go back." ”

Duan Shao glanced at Gao Yang and said indifferently: "The second prince can't bear it?" ”

Gao Yang nodded heavily, and replied: "Seeing the siege battle during this time, the last general is indeed a little sad in his heart, after all, they are all brothers who get along day and night, and many of them can't even be named, but the sky is separated, and yin and yang are separated. ”

Duan Shao dissatisfiedly reprimanded: "Confused, as the head of an army, you should consider the overall strategic situation, and should not be limited to temporary benevolence. The real commander, who seeks defeat before winning everything, sacrificing a few people and surviving the majority, this is the real overall situation, can the second son know? ”

Gao Yang nodded ashamedly, and thanked him: "The last general knows, thank you Duan Shuai for your step-by-step teaching." ”

Duan Shao nodded with satisfaction, said no more, and just quietly waited for the news that the pair of soldiers went to check the icing situation.
