Chapter 211: Strategy
Sun Xiangfu did not guess wrong, Tang Fengyi is the kind of person who gives a little sunshine and he is brilliant, and if he gives a little power, he will inevitably be corrupt.
Xi Junmai was transferred out at the request of Wang Xu, the purpose is, of course, to protect Wang Xu's 800,000 acres of spice fields from being trampled by the horse's hooves, you know, those spice fields are growing very well now, as long as they last another month or two and are fully mature, no one can stop him from making a lot of money, which is why Wang Lin made great efforts to destroy him.
"Wang Gongzi, the official's affairs have not been done well, it was an accident, you can do this thing a little unkindly, can we still cooperate happily?"
Sun Xiangfu has always regarded Xi Junmai as a brother, if Wang Xu is out of the pit, there are three long and two short, Sun Xiangfu will not talk to Wang Xu about any credit issues, and the centralized guards will shoot him a thousand holes first.
"Then let's go through each of our pits, it's a matter of leveling, let's talk about what to do next! Tuli is driven by my eldest brother's interests, but it is not under my control. ”
Wang Xu received the news that Sun Xiangfu had returned to Shuozhou, and came to Yamen to see him. This is the benefit of Sun Xiangfu to put his spice fields around Shanyang, but if there is a military incident in the future, he Wang Xu must fight against the enemy together with himself in order to ensure the output of the field.
"Hehe, I have heard for a long time that the fighting power of the private slave soldiers of the Wang family is not weaker than that of the official army, and now although your spice field is on the grassland, there are twenty fortresses that can be defended, do you think that Tuli, who has defeated with one or two thousand remnants, has the determination to uproot them one by one?" Sun Xiangfu smiled leisurely.
Sun Xiangfu didn't get to the point, which made Wang Xu a little unhappy, "No, but what I want to protect is the spice field outside the fortress." ”
"Do you think that Tuli is willing to be driven by him after receiving the benefits of your eldest brother?
This is impossible, now, population and combat power are the most important thing for Tuli, without these things, no matter how much other gold and silver money Tuli has, it is useless, without combat effectiveness, any force on the grassland can easily rob him and destroy him.
Therefore, he came to Shuozhou because he was jealous of the population of Shuozhou, ruined your fields, that was to make a deal that harmed others and did not benefit himself, Tuli is not so stupid, he will at least wait for your crops to mature before coming to plunder, at the moment, he just wants to fight a looting war without loss, in order to improve the morale of his remnants of the defeated generals, and expand the population of his subordinates. ”
Sun Xiangfu sent someone to send a telescope to Li Jing, and when the person who sent the things came back, he brought Li Jing's reply, in the letter, Li Jing had already helped Sun Xiangfu make a detailed strategic analysis, thinking that there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people of sudden profit, and it was impossible to fight hard with others, otherwise, he would not have fled back from the west before, what he wanted to do most now was to strengthen himself, what could strengthen him? There are only those half-hu and half-Han people in Biansaizhou County.
Since he guessed Tuli's strategic intentions, Li Jing could predict his tactics according to his strategic intentions, and finally came to the conclusion that the Wang family's fortress was not easy to fight, the Shanyang city wall was tall, and there was a lot of grain in stock, so Tuli's people did not dare to attack it at all.
Then the only thing he can do is to bypass Shanyang from the grassland and directly attack Mayi, which is also adjacent to the grassland, however, Mayi City is also a war fortress, so his biggest possibility is to ignore Mayi City, and attack several defenseless county towns on the inner line of Mayi, robbing grain and capturing people to strengthen himself.
"What do you mean, he didn't dare to attack? So, what did he come to Shuozhou for? Puzzled by what Sun Xiangfu said, Wang Xu asked.
"Bypass Shanyang and Mayi, and hit Huairen, Yingxian and other places."
Sun Xiangfu said very firmly, Wang Xu frowned when he heard this, and said, "My property in these counties is not worth a lot of money, you say so, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”
Sun Xiangfu smiled again when he heard this, "Hehe, this official originally thought that Wang Gongzi was a far-sighted person, but he was also so short-sighted, Tuli is a force dominated by your eldest brother's interests, do you think that if he grows stronger, you can still have good?" I'm afraid that your 800,000 acres of spices will be planted for him in the end! ”
Even if he was mentally prepared early in the morning, knowing that it was easy to farm on the grassland and difficult to harvest, but when he heard this, Wang Xu was still very annoyed, Hui and Xue Yantuo had a lot of salt and iron business dealings with their Wang family, and basically would not come to his territory to do things, after all, the benefits of spices are too great, and they have become one of the key industries of the Wang family.
But Tuli is an uncontrollable-stirring stick, when he was powerful before, Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui had to look at his face and act, but now that his power is weak, his psychology is naturally unbalanced, in order to grow, he can do whatever it takes.
"Listening to what you say, this Tuli can't be eliminated, but the imperial court only sent a mere 5,000 reinforcements, how can this fang be destroyed."
After figuring out what Sun Xiangfu said, Wang Xu gritted his teeth and said.
He is also a martial artist, he likes to solve problems by force, and being able to eliminate Tuli in one fell swoop and make his eighty acres of spice fields safe and sound, for him, is the most perfect ending.
"Do you know why General Li didn't go to Taiyuan to Shuozhou?"
Sun Xiangfu asked rhetorically, but Wang Xu's eyes lit up, and he answered, "You mean to say that Li Jing took a detour to the side of the horse to get out of the customs?" ”
"That's right, as long as Wang Gongzi transfers your soldiers to Mayi, let's set up an ambush in Shuanghualing, which leads from Mayi to Yingxian, and block Tuli's men and horses, at that time, General Li's men and horses will kill from behind him, and they will attack on both sides on the ridge road, and Tuli will inevitably be unable to fly, and the whole army will be annihilated here."
In fact, in Li Jing's original plan, Sun Xiangfu sent the Shuozhou Unity Battalion to set up an ambush in Shuanghualing, but Sun Xiangfu felt that two or three thousand people ambushed 20,000 people, which was too unreliable, and Xi Junmai was taken away one step in advance, making it impossible to implement this plan. After all, although the soldiers of the Shuozhou Unity Battalion are soldiers of the imperial court, they are their own subordinates, and they have the soldiers of the Wang family, of course, it is more cost-effective to use the soldiers of the Wang family.
It's a pity that Wang Xu is not a fool, he can help fight, after all, everyone has benefits after eliminating Tuli, but his people can't complete this battle alone, otherwise, there will be a lot of follow-up problems, so he said, "There is such a one-and-done strategy, but it is feasible, so, this son will go back to mobilize people, and two days later, join forces with Sun Changshi Shuanghualing." ”
"Uh, that, when did the official say that he was going to Shuanghualing? Although the city of Mayi is strong, the defenders are only a thousand men, and the official is to preside over the defense of the city. Sun Xiangfu stopped doing it when he heard this, Shuanghualing was the battlefield that Li Jing had preset, Sun Xiangfu was so afraid of death, and he naturally wouldn't go to the front of the battlefield without absolute necessity.
"If you don't go, do you want my Wang family to expose the strength of the family soldiers in front of the world? Shouldn't it be that Governor Shuo recruited more than 10,000 people under his rule to unite with Shuozhou to resist the enemy in Shuanghualing? ”
The matter of family soldiers, it is very taboo to be exposed, especially after the unification of the imperial court, although Li Shimin acquiesced in his heart that all major families have raised some family soldiers, and even dead soldiers, but if your family has family soldiers who can fight against 20,000 Turkic cavalry, can you ask Li Shimin to sleep peacefully?
Seeing Wang Xu's expression that I won't send troops if you don't go, Sun Xiangfu hesitated, and after a minute of entanglement, he said, "Okay!" This official personally went to Shuanghualing to organize a rejection of the enemy, but if you have more soldiers, send more over, it is 20,000 Turkic cavalry. ”
Seeing Sun Xiangfu's frightened look, Wang Xu shook his head with a contemptuous look and turned around and walked towards the outside of the ya.
"My lord, Mr. Tang······" As soon as Wang Xu left, Zhang Ke wiped the things on his hands that he didn't know whether it was blood or tears and snot, and walked into the Zhengya.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Xiangfu and said, "Sir, this kind of undisciplined person, he is not allowed to call him Mr. in the future, so what, how much has he embezzled?" ”
"It's really a lot, more than 5,000." Zhang Ke pursed his lips and replied.
"Well, let's send them all to the tent in the house! That's right, what about others! Sun Xiangfu didn't blush at all.
Tang Fengyi embezzled and accepted bribes, and took Wang Xu's money, but now in a blink of an eye, it has become his.
The strange thing is that Zhang Ke also felt that this matter should be taken for granted, turned around and waved his hand outside the door, and saw Tang Fengyi, who had a blue nose and swollen face, being put in by a guard.
"I said Old Tang, can you have a snack? If you are not greedy, you are at least a governor of the history, a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, and now that you have mixed up to this step, you still dare to reach out and actually betray my brother for some money······"
After taking Tang Fengyi's embezzlement proceeds into his own possession, Sun Xiangfu immediately changed his angry expression, counted him down, and was stunned to cry an old man in his forties.
"Woo woo, the old man found out that Jia Xiaoqiu would be sold in Chang'an, so he wanted to get some money and buy them back······"
After the prisoners of the Tang Dynasty, they are usually assigned to the teaching department for a period of time, and then sold to the brothel of the Qinglou to do some of the dirtiest work, which is worse than those who voluntarily sell themselves.
"What a big deal I should have! This is easy to do, I will send a letter to Chang'an, or it won't be long before someone will send your family over, now, do you have anything to say to me? ”
"Uh, I knew that you were so powerful in Chang'an, so I wouldn't have bothered to do this, so what, this five thousand guan is not what I want to be greedy for! Don't let the things you send to you be in vain! I'm sure if you were here, you'd make that decision. ”
"How so? Is there still a free lunch in this world? ”
"Lunch for nothing?" Tang Fengyi didn't know what the allusion of Sun Xiangfu's metaphor came from, and stared at him with panda eyes.
"It's money taken for nothing."
Tang Fengyi heard this, grinning with his teeth, "Hehe, of course not, but when he asked us to do something, it was something we were going to do, and he gave the money for nothing." ”
Now it was Sun Xiangfu's turn to be puzzled, "What are you going to do?" You said, "Instead, you said." ”
"Hehe, Tuli brought 20,000 young men to attack Shuozhou, Shuozhou has imperial court reinforcements, even if he can't be destroyed, there should be no problem defending the city! If we take the opportunity to put Tuli's nest on the side, then no matter what, Tuli will be a loser. ”
"Hey, I didn't expect you, a greedy guy, to know a little bit of military strategy." Sun Xiangfu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised.
"Hehe, that is, since he knew that the leading general sent by the imperial court to support Shuozhou was Li Jing, the old man expected that this Shuozhou could not be lost, and Tuli would be defeated."
