Verse 156 Not without greed

Nalan Shanxiong's son is not the material to lead the troops, not in the army, and on the side of the base camp, Nalan Aguli died, this army was leaderless, and suddenly accelerated its own collapse, Ma Er Cai originally wanted them to support him, but after receiving the news, he had to go to reinforcements, ran for more than ten miles, and when he arrived at the battlefield that was attacked, Li Jingsi had already withdrawn, and Ma Er Cai gathered the rout everywhere in the middle of the night.

Before it was finished, Li Jingsi was unforgiving, and after resting, he hit again.

The military general Fan Que arrived at dawn with three hundred cavalry, and they were able to hold their positions.

The lines on Fan Que's head were squeezed together, constantly rubbing his bald head, and the injured horse ear was crying on his knees, but he still kept stepping on him with his feet.

The official level crushed people to death.

What's more, horse ear vegetables can only be reassured when they are stepped on.

As a first-class military general, Fan Que can be said to be the only person who has mastered the real power of the army among the important figures of the Li Group.

Although Zhao Guo and Lu Chuan are both generals of the Fan Group, they are not important figures in the Li Group.

The retainers of the Li family are mainly the four major families of Fan, Zhong, Zhao and Tang, and the four families have four surnames, a large number of people, and the power of the Guò clan is in the hands of the blood or elders. Even if Lu Chuan, who is loyal and invincible, is considered a character because he has been escorted many times, he still can't squeeze into that circle.

Therefore, although there were not many of Li Zhi's subordinates in the Eastern Xia army, the Li group still thought that Dia Bird was deliberately suppressing the Li group.

Fan Que got the first-class military mansion, and everyone in the Li group said that he married Yu Die.

Because of the verbal squeeze by the small group, Fan Que had planned to resign from the post of tooth general, and specially approached Li Zhi, Li Zhi knew the reason, Fan Que was young, had a flexible mind, accepted military ideas quickly, and interpersonal relationships were not complicated. But she wouldn't say it explicitly, just said, "What do you care what others say?" At least I'm still here, and since the head of the family is still here, when will it be their turn to make irresponsible comments. Ah Niao gives you a first-class military mansion, that is to appreciate you. The eldest husband should show his heart for the appreciation of others, how can he be sarcastic and can't stand it? ”

Fan Que thought about it, not only did he not say anything about resignation, but instead changed his cynical style and governed the army with his heart.

This time the troops were sent to fight, because of the large number of people, there were not a few retainers of the Li family who were recruited, for example, Fan Quan, who was given an idle position, and Fan Que received even heavier pressure.

It's not that he is a younger brother, the eldest brother is not happy when he goes out of the mountain, but he can't be compared, once he is compared, he must be confirmed because he married Yu Die before he was granted military power by Dia Bird, and then he can't deal with himself, and Dia Bird will be attacked in terms of employing people.

What's more, no matter how big the losses were, more than 500 first-class military soldiers were destroyed in the first battle, not to mention the vassal army that came to support, and the whole army was scattered.

The heart of the horse's ear is gone, and he has the heart to kill the horse's ear.

After stepping on the horse ear.

He summoned the depressed soldiers, inquired about the process in detail, made a summary, and hurriedly sent them to Dongliang City.

When the letter was sent away, he was still unwilling, and he had the heart to fight a few battles to recover his losses, so he collected the soldiers, waited for the follow-up men to come up again, and launched one or two counterattacks.

Zhao Guo came up with his follow-ups, which stopped his rashness.

Sure enough, an hour later, the news came, and Chen Guo's follow-up immediately came with twenty or thirty thousand people.

Zhao Guo led the troops all the year round, and his majesty had been achieved, Fan Que no longer dared to look at him as a stunned person back then, and accompanied him respectfully, and did not slack off because of his background and the relationship between him and the year. Zhao Guo also saved face for him, restrained his words, went to the battlefield to see it, asked a few questions, and ordered when he came back: "Ma Er Cai fought rashly, first remove from his post on the spot, and wait for the military justice department to fall, Guo Zheng is good, let him take the Niu Lu first." ”

The Guo Zheng he said was the general with a red scarf wrapped around his neck.

Fan Que was taken aback, and asked him in turn: "He's just a deputy editor, isn't he suitable?" ”

Zhao Guo said: "Guo Zheng has a red scarf to wear. That is the honor that the Qianniu training has achieved only for its outstanding performance. And in this battle, he reminded the horse ear dish three times. The first time was to remind Ma Er that the enemy formation was not out of order. The second time I was reminded that the camp could be taken over. On the third occasion, he reminded Ma Er Cai not to directly reinforce Nalan Aguli, but to take the opportunity to attack and recapture his camp. I think all three reminders are correct. ”

He also said: "This is a time of war, whoever can fight will be on the job, if you can't, I will immediately let the tooth pig come up and replace you." ”

Although Fan Que is respectful, it does not mean that he is balanced in his heart.

Back then, he was unscrupulous and played with Zhao Chao, knocking and beating, but now he is being disciplined, threatening to change people, and his mentality is not good, he doesn't say anything in his mouth, and he can still say evil words in his heart.

After a while, Zhao Guo said: "This battle has a very bad impact on my Dongxia, and if you want to eliminate the impact, you must have a big victory to dilute it, and this mood will be played by the enemy." At present, the enemy is gathering in Hoeryong, and our army is newly defeated, which is not conducive to a calm operation. So I decided to retreat for the time being, wait for the follow-up army thirty miles away, and wait for all the troops to arrive, and no longer fight Hoeining, and go west bypassing Hoeryong. You don't have to be desperate......

Fan Que began to decipher his words, "This mood will be played by the enemy", which means that the psychology of seeking victory will be used by the enemy, which is "not conducive to calm combat", and it should mean that he cannot fight calmly.

After deciphering it, Fan Que did not forget to deliberately praise: "In terms of the art of war, no one can speak more thoroughly than Shaohugong." ”

Zhao Guo is nicknamed "The Tiger of Eastern Xia", and has been awarded the title of Duke for his military exploits, and he is considered to be the Duke of the Central Plains.

But there are not many people around me who call it so directly.

Zhao Guo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although Ma Ercai has a blunt head, he is not defeated by a blunt head, but by the wisdom of the enemy generals, the person who beats him is a rare opponent, you also have to learn his tactics carefully." The fast battle that the king said, his own people were not used well, but were used by the enemy, and the king became his teacher, and he did not receive his bacon. Our Eastern Xia soldiers and horses are invincible, and if we use fast battles, our numbers will no longer be our disadvantage. Immediately retreat and wait thirty miles away, giving the enemy the feeling of waiting for the troops and horses slowly. ”

He thought that his tone could make people relax, but he didn't know that Fan Que couldn't relax at all, so he "pricked" and turned around and left.

Zhao Guo also wanted to gather other generals again to inquire about the reorganization of the army, and Chen Bing began to attack. I can't go back for a while. So he sent men to run around the camp with arrows, and gave an urgent order: "Hold the camp, and do not go out of the camp to fight." Then my military will give the operational deployment to the order. ”

Chen Jun came up with 20,000 or 30,000 people, and he was supposed to take a break, but Li Jingsi refused.

He went directly to see Tuoba Weiwei, and while asking Tuoba Weiwei to watch the small camp in Dongxia that he had seized by himself, he advocated letting Tuoba Weiwei attack, saying: "The enemy soldiers are indeed difficult to defeat. Taking advantage of their defeat, the follow-up men and horses have not yet come up, so they should attack with superior forces, don't be greedy for a decisive battle, if they can annihilate these thousands of people in one fell swoop, it will be a big blow to Dongxia. ”

Tuoba Weiwei took his advice and fought when he came.

Zhao Guo was originally going to retreat, but he couldn't retreat for a while.

After he assigned combat tasks, most of them were used for defense and retreat, and the soldiers who had just suffered defeat were extremely aggrieved, but fortunately, they could deal with the enemy.

After many battles, after dark, Chen Bing finally withdrew. Now the Chen soldiers are embarrassed, their camp is not good, the gates of Huining City are closed and they are not allowed to enter, the soldiers are still messing with the camp, the generals sit in the big tent of Tuoba Tower, and begin to condemn Li Jingsi for using troops for no reason, so that the soldiers are now extremely tired, and as a result, the enemy's camp is well defended, and the losses are not small, but there is no result.

According to Li Jingsi's meaning, he will fight around at night.

Among the opposing voices, there was even a saying that if they wanted to eat these thousands of people, the Dongxia people would definitely not dare to come to Huining, and what should they do if they can't wait for the enemy to fight a decisive battle.

Li Jingsi didn't argue.

Tuoba Weiwei just looked at him with trusting eyes, and also did not comment at all.

Li Jingsi won a big victory when he came out of the mountain, and this victory was not fought by the generals of Chen Guo, so he naturally appreciated it.

It's just that his strategic purpose is to quickly create a threat to Dongxia and indirectly mobilize the Yong rebel army on the western road, and he is also afraid that the Dongxia people will not come to Huining.

The people's minds were confused, coupled with the strengthening of the control of the reorganized army over military power, most of the generals were dissatisfied, and the more noisy they became, the more fierce they became.

Tuoba Weiwei was also helpless, and asked: "Jing Si." Tell us your reasoning, too. ”

Li Jingsi sneered, got up and said: "The terrible army of Dongxia, you are not unaware of it, for this kind of enemy, it is natural to eliminate every point if you can destroy it." If you fight a big battle, a tough battle, even if there are many people, I am afraid that you will not be able to win. ”

Shangzhu Guo Heze Ming hid his sneer, and said gently: "So, can you win against the Dongxia people?" The Yong people are not good at fighting, and General Li is an exception. ”

There is a desire to sow disarray here, not that Li Jingsi's victory was an accident, and Yongren can't fight.

Tuoba Weiwei understood and turned his head to look.

Li Jingsi refused to argue with them, in his heart, Chen Guo had perished, and he wanted to let his father-in-law escape in order to protect his wife.

There was chaos in the tent again.

Suddenly, the soldiers came running and said, "Dongxia has collected the camp and is gone." This added to the confusion, and the whole tent exploded with a "bang", saying that there must be a conspiracy if the Eastern Xia army retreated without a fight, and some were elated, saying that continuous attacks were still useful, and they were beaten away.

Tuoba Weiwei and Li Jingsi exchanged a look, and they could see the deep worry in each other's eyes.

For an army that is often victorious and undefeated, it seems strange to leave without a fight, and the Dongxia army does not enter Chen much, that is, it relies on the prestige they fought to subdue the cities, but now that they have suffered defeat, they don't want to redeem it, and they run away. Because the two of them couldn't guess, they were a little more uneasy.

Tuoba Weiwei may have thought a little more.

Huining is not far from Chenzhou, and the decisive battle in Huining is conducive to striking the east and attacking the west, and it can advance or retreat.

Fan Guoshi also said: "They won't see through our intentions and avoid war, right?" ”

This sentence raised everyone's worries, and they all said, "Yes." They won't stop coming to Huining. ”

Someone else burned the flames of war on Li Jingsi and loudly condemned him: "You let me fight." It's all you who let you fight. What should I do if the Eastern Xia army doesn't come to Huining? So how do we beat them quickly? ”

Li Jingsi had a headache.

Even if you don't fight, Dongxia has few troops, but if you take the initiative, it is not certain whether it will fight you in a decisive battle under Huining City.

From beginning to end, tens of thousands of households sat still.

They are the backbone of military generals.

Tuoba Weiwei asked them to speak, and one of them said: "If you want me to retreat, there is a huge disparity in strength, do you want to be surrounded and beaten by us all the time?" We insisted on surrounding them and didn't retreat. ”

This is the saying of the art of war.

Tuoba nodded his head.

He concluded: "Don't argue any more, we'll know where they're going at dawn." They have taken the camp, they can't come to attack us, right? ”

This judgment was made a bit early.

There is a folk phrase in Jingkang China, called "Say A Bird, A Bird To", which means that Di A Bird himself does not know books, but he is cunning and treacherous, you just want to deal with him, or say bad things about him, he ran to the front and started first.

Right now, it was just a "Say Ah Bird, Ah Bird Arrive", Fan Que led thousands of cavalry up, and under the cover of night, he fought at the lax Chen soldiers.

Is this a night attack?

It was just after dark.

Not only did it not take long after dark, but Chen Bing had only recently retreated, and it was the time to camp in chaos. After a while, all kinds of bad news kept coming...... Tuoba Weiwei was furious and said to Li Jingsi: "Jingsi." These people fight wars, and there is no discipline. The Dongxia people have seized the opportunity again, with them, it's good enough not to mess with themselves, and they can still beat the Dongxia people away? If you go up for me, I will teach them a good lesson.

Li Jingsi stood up and walked out.

Tuoba Weiwei stopped him again, told him to be careful, sat down by himself, endured the pain caused by the wound on his body, and whispered to Fan Guoshi: "What do you think, sir?" ”

Fan Guoshi only said: "Although the enemy general is equally bold." But it doesn't look like the person Jing Si met yesterday. ”

Tuoba Weiwei could also feel it, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

When there was no one, he didn't need to hide it, and suddenly he looked tired and said, "Sir." The wound seems to be infected and I have a fever. ”

Fan Guoshi looked at him worriedly.

He smiled and added, "It's no big deal." Jing Si was prescient, if we didn't withdraw our troops, surround them, and fight in turns, Dongxia was reluctant to give up these thousands of people, and would keep increasing troops. ”

Fan Guoshi nodded, closed his eyes, and said lightly: "He went out to meet the enemy, and the enemy is afraid that he has already run away." King Khan forgot to tell Jing Si not to chase after him. ”

He asked rhetorically, "Why did they take the camp before attacking us?" Hit and run? Or is there any intention? Could it be that the thousands of cavalry who came up were covering for the others to withdraw? ”

Tuoba Weiwei said: "Sir and I judged in agreement. It wouldn't be nice to leave. Once Dia Bird is not greedy for Chen Guo's city, what should he do when he sees that Jing Kangguo is slow down and preserves his strength? Is it really like what he said, and it will all be returned to Jingkang in the future? ”

Fan Guoshi let out a smile, closed his eyes, lay on the bed roll next to the seat, and whispered, "He is not greedy. Why did he call in? ”

yes. If he is not greedy for territory, how can he contribute so much?
