Chapter 271: Blocking the West
In Dingxi City, Zamuhe is also in a dilemma.
He wasn't embarrassed about being a brother with Wei Qing, now, he didn't care anymore, because it was no longer a secret, even the emperor knew about it, what else could it be a secret.
He was embarrassed by whether he should go out of the city and attack.
Since the battle of Fengyang, he was captured by Wei Qing again. Although he was let go by Zuo Ci, wherever he went, there would be contemptuous eyes looking from behind him, making him feel very uncomfortable like a thorn in his back.
Wan Yan Yong also realized this, and one night, Wan Yan Yong quietly found Zha Muhe and said to him: "There has been no guard in Dingxi, I hope you can set off as soon as possible to take over the guards in Dingxi!" ”
Zamuhe smiled bitterly, he understood what Wan Yan Yong meant, this was by no means a problem of "no guards".
Dingxi is located in the middle of nowhere, not in the Central Plains, and he is now the marshal of the Dajin Kingdom, used to guard a less important remote city, where is because of the "no guards" reason, the prince wants to move him farther away, away from these arrogant generals, save Zamuhe and others conflicts, the prince is not easy to deal with.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" He didn't have anything more to say, since he knew his Han identity, he always had some weakness in his heart. Although many times people still treat him the same way as before, he has a different feeling.
So, he came to Dingxi.
When he first came to Dingxi, the low city walls and loose city defenses here made him feel that this was simply an undefended city, and he made every effort to organize manpower to strengthen the city wall, luring and even forcibly recruiting strong men in all directions, I don't know why? He now has a special friendship with the Han people who have a good impression of the Jin people, and because of this, his attitude towards the Han people is also different from the previous Jin people, and this place has been the land of the Hu people for a long time in history, and there are many Hu people who have not long been attached to it, although these people are theoretically Han people, but go back to three or five generations, they are not only not Han people, nor Qin people, but Hu people, although these people are now Han people, but psychologically still somewhat disagree, It was these people who became Zamuhe's right-hand man, and in a short period of time, he reorganized the city defenses, recruited a large number of people to join the army, and when Wei Qing's army arrived, his men had reached 70,000 people.
Now, Wei Qing actually came to Dingxi, which surprised him, but at the same time he was also very excited.
He had to defeat Wei Qing once, even if only once, because he had to be ashamed.
But now, he can't easily order to go out of the city to attack, first, his number is still 30,000 compared to the Han army, second, he has 30,000 people are newly recruited army, these people can be used to defend the city, but if they go to war, it is difficult to say how great the combat effectiveness is, third, he is too familiar with Wei Qing, and the failures again and again are by no means accidental, with Wei Qing's strength and his generals, he really can't guarantee that he can resist.
However, if he did not go out of the city to attack but waited for Wei Qing to attack the city, how could he win the victory and wash away the shame.
It was this incident that made him very difficult.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the horse walked in.
"The letter has been delivered!" Zamuhe asked.
Ma Bufang saluted and replied: "It's delivered, General Wei also sent you something, saying that this thing is yours, and he will return it as it is!" As he spoke, he took the gold medal from his bosom and handed it over.
Zamuhe's face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't want to see it. Although he had already remembered that this thing was indeed his, but he was only three years old at that time, and now that nearly twenty years had passed, what else did he want this thing for? What's more, this thing belongs to the "he" of the Han people, not the Jin people's his, he has long had nothing to do with the Han people, Wei Qing wants to use such a gold medal to make him a Han again, dreaming.
"Find someone to melt this gold medal!" Zamuhe commanded: "Then make a small gold ingot, and I will give it to you as a reward!" ”
Ma Bufang stammered and thanked him, and went down, secretly making up his mind in his heart as he walked, he couldn't really melt this gold medal, God knows which day Marshal Zamuhe suddenly wanted to return this gold medal, in case there was really such a time, he would be in big trouble.
As soon as Ma Bufang went out, Zamuhe immediately ordered: "The city gate is closed, strengthen the sentry posts, and strictly prevent the Han army from attacking!" ”
Wei Qing's gift made him make up his mind, he can not defeat Wei Qing, but he must not lose to Wei Qing again, now, he has to defend this city, this time he must defend, never fail like Fengyang.
In the big tent of the Han army, there was a crowd of people, Wei Qing's eyes were straight and astringent, Ma Chao's eyes were like copper bells, Bai Buxin's eyes were bloodshot, and Hua Mulan, Chen Qingzhi, and Hua Mulan were also standing there in a daze.
No one can have a good idea.
Dingxi city high wall thick, the defenders are numerous, and it is the experienced Zamuhe command, it is really difficult to overcome, Huainan at the beginning, the Han army is a large number of Jin army, although the Jin army has a large number of people, and there are siege cannons, in the end still ended up defeated, now the situation is reversed, this time the Han army is going to besiege the Jin army, but how can the Han army avoid such an end.
"The last general will lead a thousand death squads to try it tomorrow!" Chen Qingzhi ordered: "If it doesn't work, think of another way!" ”
Wei Qing shook his head: "General Chen, it is worthwhile to die, this city is so high, and there are so many defensive weapons, you take a thousand people to attack it is to send it to death, and it is worthless, this is not good!" ”
"How about letting General Shi dig a hole under the city gate according to the previous method!" Bai Buxin said, but for the first time there was no confidence in his voice.
Shi Qian shook his head with a bitter face: "Don't say that Zamuhe won't give me this kind of opportunity, even if I have this opportunity, it's useless, don't you see that the city gate is full of ingots, this thing is not only to prevent the door from breaking down, but also to prevent digging holes, no matter how capable I am, I can't make holes in the stones!" ”
"General Liu!" Wei Qing screamed, he believed that Liu Qi could understand what he meant without him explaining.
Liu Qi really understood, but his answer was still not what Wei Qing wanted to hear, Liu Qi replied: "No! ”
Wei Qing's face showed a look of disappointment.
Wei Qing was actually asking Liu Qi: Is there a weapon to deal with this situation in Pang Tong's suicide note, and Liu Qi's answer is: No.
"Let's besiege it for a month and see if it surrenders or not!" Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, it's just that even he knows that this idea is not feasible, and in a month, even if he can take Dingxi, Lanzhou will not be able to take it.
There was silence in the big tent for a while, and everyone's eyes were looking at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing's head hung down, as if he was asleep.
After being silent for a long time, he spoke: "When I was a child, I once wrote a letter and wanted to write the word 'Daddy', but I couldn't write it anyway, I was in a hurry! ”
Several generals looked at each other, not knowing what General Wei meant by his sudden departure.
Wei Qing ignored it and continued: "I cried urgently, my mother asked me why I was crying, I said that I couldn't write the word father, my mother laughed at the time: 'Why do you have to use the word father, you use the word father is the same,'" he raised his head, looked around at the generals, and suddenly slammed his fist on the map: "Why do we have to take Dingxi, when we write a letter, write that my father is still my father, as long as I can read it, because the purpose of writing a letter is not to write the word father, we take Dingxi, the purpose is not to take Lanzhou, Now Lanzhou is only a hundred miles west of Dingxi, we bypass Dingxi, go straight to Lanzhou, and all problems will be solved! ”
"Not bad!" Several generals shouted in unison, and Ma Chao slammed his fist on his chest: "I'm really stupid!" ”
"I have an objection!" Chen Qingzhi calmly spoke out against it.
"Please!" Wei Qing also replied calmly, although he thought of such an idea, but more wins, less wins, if he neglects something for a while, it will affect the lives of 100,000 people, so whenever someone has an objection, his heart is happy, at least this objection can prevent his negligence, as long as it is a living person, it may make mistakes, but a really smart person will be good at listening to the opinions of others and reduce mistakes as much as possible.
"If we go all the way to Lanzhou, what if it is difficult to pull out the city for a while, and the Dingxi Jin army takes the opportunity to cut off our back road from behind and attack the defenders of Lanzhou before and after!" Chen Qingzhi threw out his question.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Wei Qing's face: "I'm afraid that he won't attack!" He beckoned to Chen Qingzhi and asked Chen Qingzhi to come to the map, Wei Qing put his finger on the map, bypassed Dingxi, and slowly moved towards Lanzhou.
Chen Qingzhi looked at Wei Qing's face, his eyes changed from confused to clear, he also stretched out his finger and pointed at Dingxi City, moving from Dingxi City to Lanzhou.
Wei Qing's finger drew a circle on the map, then returned, moving towards Chen Qingzhi's finger.
Chen Qingzhi pondered for a while, then moved his fingers backwards and returned to Dingxi City.
Wei Qing suddenly put his other hand on the map, and his fingers moved straight towards Lanzhou, and at the same time, the original finger moved from chasing Chen Qingzhi to Dingxi to Lanzhou.
Chen Qingzhi fell into a state of confusion again, he looked at it blankly for a while, and suddenly asked: "How is it possible!" ”
Wei Qing smiled: "Absolutely!" ”
Chen Qingzhi lowered his head, thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "That's right, maybe!" His voice showed a rare excitement, he straightened up and saluted Wei Qing: "General Wei's conspiracy, the last general is really convinced!" ”
"Who's going to tell me what's going on with your fingers!" Ma Chao's eyes turned green in a hurry.
Wei Qing and Chen Qingzhi glanced at each other, and Wei Qing said to Ma Chao: "General Ma, this matter must be kept secret, the more people who know, the more risk, Zhamuhe is by no means idle, not to mention,,,,,! He suddenly smiled and changed the subject: "You just need to prepare for action as soon as possible!" ”
