Volume 3: Building a Foundation Chapter 80: Fortune

The 11th year of the Great Cause, July 23rd.

Gao Chongde broke the 8,000 Sui army with 14,000 soldiers, Yang Yuanlin fled in embarrassment, only 100 horsemen remained, and 2,000 were captured in this battle.

On August 10 of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Yang Gongqing, the leader of the righteous army, led 10,000 horses to Yecheng to take refuge, and the name of Gao Si to re-establish the Qi army spread all over the world.

In the 11th year of the Great Cause, on August 15, the general of the Qi army, He Han Shi'e, led Changshuidu, and the general Wang Boren led Wucheng to Xiangzhou, each with 2,500 men and horses.

On August 20, Gao Si led his headquarters of 4,000 and an army of 17,000 people, known as 30,000, gathered under the city of Xiangzhou, so that Xiangzhou completely became a lonely city.

Gao Si advocated regularized management of the army, and now it has begun to bear fruit.

I saw a group and a team, a capital and a battalion, neat and tidy, each with a doorway, and the trenches, low walls, and wooden fences in the camp were still connected to each other, and they were in good order.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining. The army in the large camp is lined with flags, surrounded by iron armor, and the tent is full of martial arts.

The generals were dressed in armor, and the civil officials were dressed in scribe robes, all of them were full of confidence, and even the newly attached Li Tieliang and Yang Gongqing were all smiling, and seemed to have hope for success.

Everyone was chatting with each other, and suddenly the guard at the back of the tent raised his voice: "General Zhengbei has arrived!" ”

Gao Si's self-proclaimed official position at this time was the general of the Great Qi Expedition to the North.

Suddenly, the scene was solemn, and the civil and military ministers got up and saluted one after another. I saw that the civil officials were quiet, and the military generals' armor clanged, and they contrasted with each other.

Gao Si was wearing the general's gold armor, wearing a silver crown, showing deep majesty, a sword hanging from his waist, a wide cloak, and a remarkable bearing.

How dare people look at each other? All of them accidentally saluted Gao Si.

Seeing that the ministers were about to finish saluting, Gao Si said with a smile: "Today's soldiers are coming to the city, and Xiangzhou will be broken in the near future." This banquet is only about friendship, no matter how big or low! ”

The generals and ministers made promises one after another, and each sat down at the table, drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl. In the midst of the commotion, all of a sudden, Gao Si asked: "Everyone, now that Xiangzhou City has been surrounded by our army, what is the way to quickly capture it?" ”

Han Shi'e Yi didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Why bother attacking the city, Yang Yuanlin fled in embarrassment, only a hundred horsemen remained, and the aid outside Xiangzhou City was cut off, even if the people of the whole city were mobilized, it would be difficult to control the situation." ”

"The way of the husband and the soldier, attacking the heart is the top, and the city is the bottom."

"Yang Yuanlin's official and military banner, there must be people in the city who recognize it, and order its strong men to tour under the wall, publicize it everywhere, and then warn the city, those who surrender will not be killed, and the city will be meritorious."

Speaking of this, a smile flashed on the corners of his mouth, and Han Shi'e said with a firm conviction: "Then, within three days, the army will attack the city, and someone will open the door and surrender, and Xiangzhou will be broken!" ”

The others were dumbfounded.

Talking and laughing, the strong enemy is wiped out! Han Shi'e has gradually become a famous general.

Gao Si laughed and immediately decided: "Just do it this way." General Han, you can handle it. ”

"No!" Han Shi'e bowed down to receive the order.

At the same time, the city of Xiangzhou.

The prefect's yamen, the little official Jiao Xin hurriedly entered the gate, ran quickly in three steps and two steps, and when he broke through the second corridor, the pipe hat on his head was hung up by a branch and leaf sticking out, and he didn't have time to pick it up again.

At that moment, the prefect Liu was really convening his subordinates to discuss the matter, and when he heard the sound of breaking the door, he couldn't help but look up, and his heart was shocked.

"Lord Fuzun, the reinforcements recruited by Yang have suffered a big defeat!" Jiao Xin hurried to Liu Zhen and hurriedly said.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Zhen frowned and asked, Jiao Xin has always been shrewd and capable, why is he so flustered at this time?

"Fuzun, on July 23, Gao Chongde broke through Hebei with 20,000 soldiers to recruit 8,000 officers and soldiers, and Yang Yuanlin fled back in embarrassment, leaving only 100 horsemen. On August 15, Gao Chongde sent troops, claiming to be 30,000, and took in prisoners of the officers and soldiers, and they were already attacking in a big way. Now, now our Xiangzhou City has become an isolated city. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Liu Zhen couldn't keep his calm face anymore and immediately stood up.

"How dare the subordinate report such a major military aircraft incident? I've sent someone to investigate, and that's true! Jiao Xin took two breaths and continued: "Looking at this situation, Gao Chongde's plan to plot against Wei Jun is only afraid that it will succeed. ”

"Fuzun, the high thief also made people shout, and we were limited to surrender within three days. If you don't obey, you will kill all the officials in the city after breaking the city, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Yoo Jin stood up and walked back and forth in the lobby, thinking about countermeasures.

Thieves? It really made him unwilling. Resist? There are no reinforcements outside, and the thieves outside the city are like a huge dark cloud hanging over the hearts of everyone in the city, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend the city together.

There was silence in the lobby for a moment.

One of the generals said: "Fuzun, we are besieged by high thieves, and we can't draw many troops to defend the city." Even if each family sends troops, it will be difficult to hold it for a long time. Gao Chongde is a world-famous general, and he is also a true biography of Yang Su. Since we have already sent troops, claiming to be 30,000, then there are at least 15,000, how can we resist thousands of weak soldiers? ”

Another general, Xu Fang, said angrily: "Because of this, we can't let Gao Chongde easily get Xiangzhou." If he succeeds, there will really be a county, and with his reinstatement of the name of Gaoqi, Hebei will be troubled! ”

He turned to Liu Zhen and said: "Fuzun, I expect that Yang Yichen, the king of Taixing County, has a good way of using troops, as long as we persist for more than a month, he will definitely return to the army to quell the rebellion." When the time comes, the thief army will not be able to attack for a long time, and we should cooperate with the outside to break the thieves, or we can quell the civil unrest in Hebei in one fell swoop. Personal death is a small matter, but you must not easily let the high thief capture Xiangzhou, once it is defeated, Hebei is in danger, and the country is in danger! ”

"The use of troops must be decided immediately, and please ask the Fuzun to make an idea as soon as possible."

Liu Zhen tightened his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said: "What Xu Fang said is not wrong, at this time, you must not let the thief succeed!" Pass my order, immediately gather all families to draw troops, horses, grain and grass, and mobilize all soldiers and horses to defend the city! ”

The county guard is a liuguan, sent by the court, and after taking office in the local area, it is often necessary to win over the local tyrants, which is already a common practice, and Xiangzhou City is no exception.

"Yes!" Everyone in the hall, led by Xu Fang, immediately agreed, and the sound of armor was endless.

Liu Zhen was originally a resolute person, and on the same day, he mobilized 6,000 infantry and more than 10,000 Ding Zhuang, and transferred them from various families into the army. After a little drill, he began to defend the city.

On that day, in the city of Xiangzhou, the temporarily set up camp was full of people, and soldiers from all over the country could be seen everywhere.

Outside the city, a scout picked up a secret report that broke the peace in the camp: "I have an urgent military situation, I want to see the lord!" ”

Gao Si was not shocked and said, "Speak! ”

This scout stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Lord, the urgent military situation, the county guard Liu Zhen has decided to defend the city, and he has already vigorously dispatched men and horses." ”

"Really? The officials of Xiangzhou City are still a little bold. Gao Si's face was cold, he took the letter, read it quickly, drew his sword in his hand, and ordered: "Everyone, attack the city immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The generals each received orders and mobilized men and horses to attack the city.

"Break the city and kill all the dog officials!"

"Break the city and kill all the dog officials!" In the shouting, the armies attacked in four gates, and the sound shook for several miles.

"Thieves are attacking the city?" Liu Zhen muttered. He was at a loss in his heart, even if he was annoyed and angry, he did not change to attack the city immediately, but still attacked from all sides.

"This is unreasonable, there must be a conspiracy!" Liu Zhen was uneasy, put on his armor, and walked towards the city under the escort of the armor.

"The destruction of the city is today!" Gao Si raised his eyes to look at the progress of the siege of the generals, and suddenly, he thought of finding that the luck of the city head was exhausted, which was a sign of success.

In his eyes, Xiangzhou City represents the yellow qi of the Great Sui, and his own military qi is in the shape of a banner, and the silk of green qi hangs down from the banner, enveloping the whole city, and constantly devouring the luck in the transformation city.

Comparing myself carefully, I suddenly realized that this banner was as green as a cover, and it was closely related to the vision of a carp spitting out books from itself, complementing each other, and it was very beneficial.

Sure enough, after careful re-identification, I saw that the original illusory fish scale book strategy had been condensed a lot, and there were still groups of foreign luck supplementing, which was obviously the convergence of humane luck.

As soon as he thought about it, he knew that he understood the cause and effect, and his heart shook, and he hurriedly stepped forward to beat the drum in person to show the military might.

"Heaven and earth will help you!"

In history, during the Three Kingdoms, Wu Wei had the Battle of Wancheng.

Lu Meng, the governor of Eastern Wu, said to Sun Quan, the king of Wu, "Today, the Huai water is soaring, and the time is in me." It took too long to build a mountain of earth and attack the city. At that time, the enemy's city defense was solidified, reinforcements must come, and Anhui City could not be taken. Now the morale of our army is high, and when we attack from all sides, we will be able to break the city in one fell swoop! ”

Wu Wang Sun Quan used his strategy, Wu army general Gan Ning led elite soldiers, Lu Meng beat drums and cheered, only one meal, the city was breached, Zhu Guang was captured, and tens of thousands of Cao troops were captured.

How similar are the situations?

The drums of war are like thunder, and the offensive of the Qi army is like a tide!

"The city is broken! The city is broken! The Qi army roared with joy, and Wang Boren ascended first and took the lead in opening the gap.

One place is broken, everywhere is broken, and it is only a meal time, and the Qi army broke through Xiangzhou City.

Gao Si's heart shook, and suddenly countless siege battles in history sounded, and he also woke up to himself.

In terms of siege speed, Chen Qingzhi, the commander of the white-robed army of Southern Liang, was the most prominent.

Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes!

In the first year of Datong, Chen Qingzhi led 7,000 white-robed troops to escort Yuan Hao back to the north.

From Xuanxian to Luoyang, the journey is 3,000 miles, and the 32 cities of the Northern Wei Dynasty are conquered in 47 battles.

Known as Cao Cao, Zhu Rong, a generation of heroes who are more disastrous than Dong Zhuo, and millions of soldiers in the Northern Wei Dynasty can't help him.

But when crossing the river, the sudden flash flood ruthlessly washed away the white-robed army that had won a hundred battles.

Winning more with less, winning more with odds, often consumes a lot of gas.

If you raise troops in the field afterwards, accumulate strength, and supplement it with the number of thousands of people, you can report nothing.

If you abuse the people's power in peacetime, do not cultivate and recuperate, and transfer people and horses in wartime, no matter how much luck and courage you have, it will be consumed.

When the general trend has gone, even the overlord of Western Chu, who is trying to pull out the mountains, can only kill the Wujiang River.

Why? This is the reason why water can carry boats and capsize boats.

Drawing inferences from one another, for the courtiers with a large number, only use their talents, reward the officials, and do not give them the foundation for gathering people to turn their fortunes, even if they have the order of the true dragon emperor, they can also be wiped out and turned into carp in the pond.

Gathering the crowd and doing it, this is the supreme meaning of the way of power and conspiracy.

Therefore, the stronger the monarch, the weaker the subordinates, and the coordination of the Quartet can cut off the danger of committing crimes.

If it weren't for the miraculous power of hopeful qi, how could ordinary people comprehend all kinds of unspeakable kingly techniques?

Use this method to control the ministers, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so as to show the unpredictable meaning of heavenly might.

Gao Si stopped beating the drum and said to Cui Luo and Yu Shinan: "Two gentlemen, Xiangzhou City is broken, and Wei County is fixed." However, the next step of development is also time to plan. ”

"Congratulations to my lord, our Qi army finally has a foothold." Cui Luo said first.

"In the next step, I thought that when I told heaven and earth, I officially created a tyranny." Yu Shi South Road.

Gao Si smiled: "Not bad." Ask the vast earth, who lives in the ups and downs?" Looking at the Qi army that had invaded the city, he was full of spirit.
