186: It is better to advance late than to lose an inch of land

"In the city of Fengzhou, there are a total of 14,000 armored soldiers, and there are 8,000 on the left and right villages outside the city, a total of 30,000 soldiers, and the number of auxiliaries and people will not be lower than this number.

In terms of strength alone, our army is three times stronger than the enemy.

The soldiers of the pseudo-Qin, the armor is weaker than our Central Plains, but the long-range is stronger than our army, the enemy's crossbows, gunpowder bullets, is what our army needs to guard against, and the city is full of wells, the moat is wide and deep, although we can see that the enemy's strong wall clears the field to exhaust our army, but in front of us, there is only one way to attack, there is no other way.

If you want to attack a city, you must first destroy the trap, break the enemy's fortress, fill the city river, and then you can climb it, and this is the case. ”

"How's the valley going?"

"The party general was a step late, and the puppet Qin and Han Chinese army first occupied the Chimei Pass, and now they are fighting for the strategic heights of a fort, and they have won six, but if they want to free up their hands and copy back to Liufeng Pass, they must occupy the Chimei Pass."

"In other words, it will be difficult to capture Liufeng Pass for a while?"

"Yes, but the guards of Liufeng Pass are like turtles, they only shrink their heads, but they don't take a step out of the customs."

"How's the North Road going?"

"It is reported that under the fierce attack of our army, the wall has been destroyed six out of ten, and the anti-Qin has strengthened the fortifications of Huangmenxia and Tanggou River behind the pass, and there are three Dazhai of Lipin, and there are signs of abandoning the pass and retreating at any time."

After listening to Wang Quanbin's introduction to the deployment of the former battalion, Song Jiong hummed lightly, got up and said: "Before the emperor's expedition to the west, the anti-Qin had invited our army to fight in the Guanshan Plain, why is it now as timid as a mouse, our army has even issued two war letters, and the enemy generals are unmoved?" ”

Wang Quanbin shook his head and sighed: "Changing people is like changing knives, before it was the general of the anti-Qin military division Mu Nanke in command, although the person was weak, but the heart was brave, and now it is deployed to Xingming as the former enemy, whether it is Fengzhou, Qinzhou or Hanzhong, it can be clearly seen that the enemy army is dragging, attrition, waiting, maybe waiting for Qin Yue to reach the front line, before he will have another plan." ”

"It is said that Xiang Xun is conceited and strategic, why would he shrink back?"

"This ......"

Wang Quanbin didn't want to criticize behind his back, but someone came out and said: "It is precisely because Xiang Xun is arrogant and conceited, and the ministers will not be convinced, so they have to take the defensive." ”

Wang Quanbin looked back, but it was the left pick-up and the knowledge of the system that accompanied him, and Gao Xi, a member of the Tuntian Wailang, was silent and quietly returned to work.

Speaking of Gao Xi, he is also a famous figure who has gone through three dynasties.

His fame is not in his deeds, but in his words.

In the Later Han Dynasty, he raised the Jinshi, and Wang Pu in the same department, before the Zhou Dynasty, he was the official of Luoyang, sat in prison and seized the official truthfully, and moved to Jingzhou. Gao Xi hiking and admonishing Kuang Shangshu "The breadth of the four seas, the crowd of all opportunities, although Yao Shun cannot rule alone, he must choose people and let the clouds and clouds...... "Please choose the virtuous and serve as officials, divide and rule the public positions, but the result is not reported, Guo Rong is too lazy to pay attention.

Gao Xibai was busy, but he won a reputation among civil officials.

Sejong ordered Wang Park to take charge, Hanlin Bachelor and the officials of the two provinces to prepare Yale, and at the same time, he also wrote haiku, paid the teaching workshop to study, and gave a banquet to Feng You, and Gao Xi replied to the advice, this time, the advice was completed, recalled, and he was appointed as the defense officer of Caizhou.

After the Song Dynasty Zhou, Gao Xi thought that he had an opportunity, abandoned the official and returned to Beijing, and once again went to the top of the court, asking for a ban on weapons, but the result was that he was negligent and did not report, Song Jiuzhong rolled his eyes, and he didn't even give him a low-end official.

Gao Xi waited for two years, and the poor family was surrounded by four walls, and finally he couldn't afford it, so he submitted a letter to Prime Minister Fan Qian, Fan Zhen remembered his former ministers, and played it as a work Zuolang.

Going around and around, returning to the Hanlin Courtyard to turn over the pile of old papers, although Gao Xi was unwilling, he could only be honest.

Fortunately, there is a nobleman, this nobleman's surname is Tao Minggu, and the official worship department is still the book, and the Hanlin bachelor is undertaken. This official sounds very lofty, but at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it was still the Zhou system, and the six Shangshu were in name only, and they were only used to increase officials, but Tao Gu was very dissatisfied and complained to Song Jiuzhong several times.

Where did this Tao Gu have the courage to complain to the emperor?

Because Chan Rang's edict was written by him, Song Jiuzhong, who was in a yellow robe, thought of everything, but didn't think of the process of Chan Rang, Tao Guwen didn't add a point, waved it, and then when Song Jiuzhong needed it most, he took it out of his sleeve lightly.

Then, he was added to the official, but he was dumbfounded, the week before, he was a servant of the Ministry of Officials, a bachelor of Hanlin Chengzhi, and in the Great Song Dynasty, he was still a Hanlin Chengzhi who showed off his pen and ink.

After several complaints, Song Jiu was annoyed and said: "Master Hanlin, draft the edict, but refer to the old books of the predecessors, add a few words and sentences, and draw a gourd in the same way, what contribution does Qing have." ”

After Tao Gu heard this, he wrote a poem to laugh at himself: "The official position must be from the place where the student is, and the article will not be used for any time." Laughing at the bachelor of Hanlin Tao, he paints the gourd every year. ”

In fact, he has a more famous word, the name of the word is Chunguang, but the week before, he had sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his sanctimonious appearance annoyed Han Xizai, Han Xizai said Look at me to rip off his face.

He asked the courtesan Qin Wanlan to pretend to be the daughter of the post man, with old clothes and bamboo hairpins, and sprinkled and swept the courtyard, but in two days, he seduced Tao Gu to bed. After the good thing was finished, Tao Gu presented a love poem, a word cloud: "Good karma, bad karma, but what a day, I have to sleep all night at the post booth, don't be a fairy." The pipa is full of lovesickness, and there are few bosom friends. What year is it when the glue is broken? ”

At the state banquet the next day, Han Xizai asked Qin Qianlan to sing and dance, turning the tenderness of this spring light and singing, Tao Gu was embarrassed, so he had to pretend to be drunk with wine, Guo Rong dismissed him from his post because of this, and later he couldn't find a good literary talent, so he was reinstated.

Because of such a character, Tao Gu's popularity is very poor, Dou Yi, who is also Hanlin, is very reused, and there are traces of worship, Tao Gu found two assistants, one Zhao Feng and one Gao Xi, and squeezed Dou Yi down.

Gao Xi was promoted step by step, first as a supervisor of the imperial history, and later as a left pick-up, a knowledgeable system, and took away the errand of Tao Gu, and after Song Jiong ascended the throne, he was even more obedient to the car.

Song Jiong listened to Gao Xi's assertion, and laughed and said: "Qing is a civil minister, and his analysis of the enemy situation is also pertinent, since the enemy army has made it clear that he will not go out of the city to fight, then he can only attack the city." ”

Song Jiong paused slightly, and continued: "Shi Qing, those who are capable work hard, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers, responsible for blocking and covering, Li Qing, you are responsible for leveling the pit and filling the river, Liu Qing, you are here to supervise the construction of siege equipment, and it will be completed within seven days." ”

"No."

Shi Shouxin, Li Chuyun, and Liu Tingrang hurriedly went out to receive orders.

Shi Shouxin was willful before, and the former enemies were all deployed, but because of his merit, he transferred the Tianping Army from Fengxiang to the town, and it can be regarded as moving his ass back to the right position.

This time, he lost his temper, and he did whatever the official told him to do.

He frowned, but his brother-in-law Li Jixun, who was in charge of the attack on the northern route, frowned.

The army cannot be controlled from it, let alone the general.

He glanced at Tian Qinzuo, who did not have the name of supervising the army, but had the reality of supervising the army, and said coldly: "It is a matter of time before the Great Earthquake Pass is taken or not, but if the whole army presses the general attack, it will not work." ”

Tian Qinzuo circled and released the horsewhip, swaying, just like his lazy appearance, "It's just a suggestion, a suggestion, Li Shuai doesn't have to take it to heart, it's just that the envoy comes once every two days, and this urges everyone to panic, it's ......"

"General Tian, you and I are both people who have come from the southern expedition and the northern war, how can we only care about the front and ignore the truth of the back, this big earthquake pass must be broken, Anrong Pass must be guarded, and Xiao Pass must be guarded, it is better to advance late than to lose an inch of land."

Tian Qinzuo chuckled lightly and arched his hand towards Li Jixun, but he went back to his own position, Li Jixun swallowed his nameless anger, pulled out his war knife with a bang, and roared angrily: "Attack." ”

The guards waved the flag, and the artillery carts creaked, quickly tightened, and then loosened, and the huge artillery made a loud rumbling noise, smashing towards the city.

At the same time, the auxiliaries quickly lined up within the firing range with three legs to cover the wall, and then a whole battalion of crossbows rushed forward with shouts, and shot at the gate under the protection of the wall.

Artillery stones rumble, crossbows fly.

Another siege began.
