Chapter Twenty-Eight: Let's Eat First
The atmosphere that had been stagnant in the military tent was instantly ignited by the words of Liu Long, the king of Qinghe, and in just a few moments, several generals with violent temperaments got up and knelt down angrily, vying to be the vanguard of the leading army to attack the city.
Seeing that the agitation method had already had an effect, Liu Long didn't say anything more, and picked up the teacup lightly and drank the tea by himself.
Obviously, he has always been measured in his heart, after all, the method of agitation is easy to use, but if it goes too far, it is easy to set himself on fire, and it is too much.
"This matter still needs to be thought through, so please go back to your seats first. This time, what our army is pointing to is not to stick to one city and one place, but to swallow the entire Longyou! In the future, you will have the opportunity to perform, so there is no need to rush at this time. ”
Metropolitan Governor Zhou Xin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up and return to their seats.
In fact, who will lead the vanguard to conquer Chencang and make a good start for the great cause of Shu, the old marshal has already had an idea in his heart. Because among the people present, whether it is military exploits, qualifications, or the ability to lead the army in battle, the two generals Fei and Deng who are really capable of taking on this important task are none other than Fei and Deng, and the rest of the people are obviously not qualified enough.
Therefore, at this time, although the old marshal said that he still needed to think carefully, his eyes swept over the two generals on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, as if to imply that they recommended themselves.
When Fei and Deng saw this situation, they immediately understood and wanted to get up and compete for the position of pioneer almost at the same time.
However, Deng Zai has always been calm-hearted, and he is accustomed to considering the pros and cons before taking action, especially when he encounters this kind of thing that requires him to make a decision immediately, his reaction is a little slower than Fei Zhen, who has a straightforward temperament.
Therefore, before he got up and left his seat, he saw that Fei Zhen had already taken the first step to come to the old handsome, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and said loudly:
"Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, the last general is willing to be the vanguard of the former army and conquer Chen Cang on behalf of the Metropolitan Governor!"
Seeing that Fei Zhen was willing to take on this burden, Zhou Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that no matter who of these two generals is the vanguard general, it is indispensable.
However, as the commander of the whole army, Zhou Xin is more accustomed to considering problems from the overall situation, although Deng Zai has always made great achievements in the way of siege, but he is too square in leading the army, and too cautious, it is difficult to do it at any cost for a quick victory, and the battle of Chen Cang does not allow him to spend too much time slowly trying to figure it out.
Therefore, the general Fei Da, who is good at field battles and has always had the reputation of quick success, is likely to be the real suitable candidate.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xin asked in a deep voice:
"General Fei has experienced a hundred battles, although he is the best candidate for the vanguard general, but the commander has also made it clear that the battle of Chen Cang is related to the morale of the enemy and our army, not only to win, but also to win quickly! Can the general be confident? ”
Fei Zhen has always been above the top, in his heart, except for the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty who have been fighting with him all these years, the rest are not in his eyes.
In particular, he has always preferred to ride and kill, and he admires the battlefield battle and the bloody nature of men the most, so he looks down on those Shu soldiers who can't hold out in the turtle city, and at this moment he saw that the old marshal still seemed to have concerns about himself, so he replied in a loud voice:
"Don't worry! The last general only needs 30,000 elite soldiers, plus 5,000 horsemen, and can swallow it within fifteen days! ”
"Fifteen?"
Originally, I was still watching coldly from behind everyone, but after listening to General Fei's bold words, my heart suddenly cooled down.
I have also dealt with Fei Zhen in the past few days, and I only thought that this person had a good temperament and acted a little recklessly, but I never expected him to be so arrogant!
You must know that Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud: go to the army to fight and strategize, then to fight the enemy, then to attack the army, and finally to attack the city.
Anyone who knows a little about the art of war knows that this siege has always been the most difficult part of leading a battle.
Under normal circumstances, the number of troops must be doubled by the defenders before they are barely qualified to attempt to attack the city, which also takes into account countless factors such as city defense, morale, food and grass, ordnance, etc., and the slightest disadvantage to the attacking side will be a failure.
I think that when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in place, Gao Huan of the Northern Wei Dynasty raised 200,000 troops to attack Yubi City, but was blocked by more than 10,000 defenders under the city, and fought hard for several months, and finally had to die of depression, which shows how difficult and tragic the siege of the army was.
And the current Chen Cangcheng is probably not much better than the Jade City back then, if he really only led 35,000 men and horses to attack the city rashly, let alone just fifteen days, even if he was given enough time for a month or two, it must be easy to gnaw this hard bone.
Therefore, if you say something like this you just said, you can just listen to it, and if you really want to do it, you will miss a big thing.
Of course, the old marshal would not have thought of my superficial thoughts, but he thought about it for a while, and then said aloud:
"Good! General Fei is so resolute, he is really an example of an army! In this way, Ben Shuai will give you another 10,000 steps, and the required siege equipment will also be prepared, not only that, but Ben Shuai will personally lead the army to press the formation for you! Ben Shuai has only one request, he must take the head of General Chen Cang within 20 days, what is it? ”
Seeing that the old marshal had increased his military strength and given him an extra five days, Fei Zhenxin undoubtedly added a little confidence, he quickly stood up, and gave a heavy military salute to the old marshal, and a heavy iron armor also made a sonorous sound of gold and iron, making his whole person look majestic and arrogant.
"The last general commands! The Metropolitan Governor can only rest assured, if he can't conquer Chen Cang on time, there is no need for the Metropolitan Governor to punish him, and the last general will come to see him! ”
"Good! Come on, take this handsome's match! ”
As Zhou Xin's loud order came out, the two relatives took a golden military seal from the tent, Zhou Xin took the military seal, got up and walked out from behind the big case, and slowly came to Fei Zhen.
"General Fei, this marshal has officially appointed you as the vanguard of Zhengyin, and you will go out to fight the thieves in three days!"
After that, he officially entrusted the military seal in his hand to the other party.
"No!"
As Fei Zhen solemnly held the military seal with both hands, everyone in the military tent once again stood up collectively and shouted in a row:
"I wish General Fei a successful battle and raise the prestige of our army!"
I also shouted a few times cooperatively, but in my heart I was quite worried about General Fei's participation in this battle, after all, his words and deeds were too big, and I couldn't say what unexpected changes would happen in the future.
But on second thought, what does it seem like this front-line combat has to do with my little military aircraft counselor? I just need to do my part, and the rest will be taken care of by these big people......
I was thinking so, but the old marshal suddenly turned his head and looked at me.
"Counselor Xu, you are very familiar with Chen Cang's military situation, so you can accompany him this time."
As soon as these words came out, I suddenly fell into an ice cave, okay, I'm really afraid of something, now I don't have to worry about General Fei's safety, I and him will completely become a mother on a rope in the future......
I sighed in my heart, and I had no choice but to accept my life.
"Yes....."
———————————————————————————————————————
Later, several generals took the lead and reported on the garrison of Shu in various parts of Longyou, as well as the ideal route of the army in the future, but since I learned the news that I was going to go out with the front army, the whole person began to become confused, and I had no time to learn about other information.
Before you know it, the long military discussion is over.
I drooped my head like a frosted eggplant, and left the tent with the generals.
I wanted to go back to my tent to discuss the current situation with Xiao Bai first, but I didn't walk a few steps out of the door when I suddenly heard a loud voice behind me.
"Brother Kejun, stay."
When I looked back, it turned out that Fei Zhen had stopped me, so I hurriedly bowed to him and whispered:
"I've seen General Fei."
"Brother, you and I will have to work together in the future, you have to take care of my brother and me more, haha!"
Fei Zhen seemed to be quite interested at this time, and his words were also quite warm, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said that this person's mental quality is really too good, and he can still laugh after taking such a serious errand.
No wonder some people say that those who can become generals are not mortals, and they are somewhat hysterical......
In fact, he is a Fenwei general, and he should not have taken a military aircraft counselor in his eyes.
Although after I came to the Chang'an camp, I was quickly put to good use by the old marshal because of my extraordinary talent for gathering information about the enemy, and many generals would look up to me for this.
But that's not enough for Fei Zhen to call me a brother like this.
The reason why he attaches great importance to me is mainly because Mr. Yuan had the grace of knowing him in his early years, so he has always regarded Mr. Yuan as a teacher, and after learning that I am Mr. Yuan's student, he naturally wants to take more care of me, a "little junior brother".
But after all, my identity is very different from him, and I really can't afford to be enthusiastic about it, so I can only smile a little awkwardly and say perfunctorily:
"The general loves him, but he is ashamed to be ashamed, and he will ask the general to teach him in ......the future."
Fei Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Brother is a rough person, but Jun, you don't have to be so literate, you and I should be casual, and in the future, you can call me senior brother in private." You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, come with me to eat in the big tent, and let's take this opportunity to talk about it! ”
"Dare to disobey ......"
Although I was a little uncomfortable, I didn't dare to refuse Fei Zhen's kindness, so I slowly walked towards the military tent with him.
Along the way, Fei Zhen always talked and laughed freely, without mentioning anything about Chen Cangcheng, and I was still a little uneasy, so I planned to ask him what he thought of this siege of the city.
"Will ...... Senior brother, I think senior brother seems to be confident about attacking Chen Cang this time, but does he have any good plans? ”
Who knew that Fei Zhen didn't seem to take this matter seriously at all, but he pursed his lips and sneered:
"Hehe, brother, don't you know, the generals in Shu are all rats as their names suggest, when my army arrives, the generals who defend the city have seen the majesty of our army, and they must be fleeing from the wind, so why do you need any good strategies?"
As soon as these words came out, I suddenly felt very speechless, and said in my heart how did such a person make a name for himself before, could it be said that the people of Qi are the same as him, and they never use their brains to fight?
I was still unwilling, so I kindly reminded:
"But after all, Chen Cangcheng has a solid city defense, and the senior brother has set up a military order, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Eat first, eat first."
“......”
