Chapter 76: Bloody Battle of Du Yang (5)

But after thinking about it, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) found a plan, and without waiting for Zhao Xun to speak, he said:

"Back to Ding Yanghou, no one has informed me about the grain and grass, so I will measure it without authorization."

"How can such clumsy words deceive Ben Hou and say, who revealed the military aircraft to you?"

"No one has revealed the military aircraft to Zaixia, it is not difficult to know the food and grass of the army, and you can know the mystery with a pair of eyes."

"It's nonsense, who in the world can have such magical powers."

"That Ding Yang Hou can know how much coarse salt is needed for each piece of light cake."

"What does this have to do with Ben Hou!"

"One and a half dollars, the full amount of coarse salt required for the light cake is one and a half dollars, but since the army lived in Yin Yangcheng, it only carried less than two months of coarse salt, so it is known that the army's grain and grass can be used for two months at most, but it is actually only enough for more than forty days. If it weren't for General Zhang's order to reduce the amount of rice, I'm afraid that this coarse salt would only last for three months. ”

"You!" Ding Yanghou was speechless, and the scene was deadly silent.

Obviously, salt should not be lacking, and if even salt is carefully calculated, it means that grain and grass will only be more scarce than salt.

The army usually prepares much more salt than it uses, because the army itself needs to have some side jobs, such as farming, and then pickle the salted meat for later use. But now there is even a shortage of salt, which can only mean that the consumption of salt army grain and grass will not be greater than that of salt.

The soldiers ate food, and there was almost no vegetable soup, so they relied on the saltiness of the cake to swallow the dry porridge and water. So salt is indispensable. The amount of salt used each time is not much different.

Grain and grass are usually first-class military aircraft, but salt is not, so under normal circumstances, as long as you know the amount of salt, you can infer the reserve of grain and grass. At the same time, the supply of salt and grain and grass are supplied together, so it is usually not much worse.

Ding Yanghou was speechless by Bailiyan's words, and Zhao Xun secretly felt better in his heart. But who knew that Ding Yanghou's face suddenly became vicious, and his tone was very vicious:

"Peeping on military planes, speculating without authorization, if you don't punish a small colonel and a soldier, you will mess with our army's morale in the future. Come on, push me out, slash! ”

When Ding Yanghou gave an order, Bai Liyan was shocked, completely expressionless, and his heart was disappointed at this moment. I never thought that after being wasted, I would end up in this step. In fact, I should have thought that people are different from each other.

At the beginning, Zhao Xun invited him, but Bailiyan was actually hesitant. Forced for livelihood and revenge for his mother, it is not the main factor, but Zhao Xun can use people, he knows what he can do, what he can't do, what is right, and those are fatal.

A general does not have to be resourceful and brave, but he must be good at employing people, Zhao Xun's personal ability is not outstanding, but it is commendable that he will use people.

Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, crossed the river before, and kept saying that he wanted to recover the lost territory, and the first battle was a "surprise attack" on Duyang City, Baili Yan was a good thing, so that the Jin army could be solved once and for all.

But now it seems that it is not so much that Marquis Ding Yang is eager to annihilate the Jin army, but that Marquis Ding Yang is greedy for merit for his own selfishness.

Now he was equalized by the Jin army because his skills were not as good as others, and in the face of this situation, Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, was obviously unbalanced in his heart. Now that Zhao Xun has conquered Feicheng, and he has achieved nothing, and he has also damaged his army, he is to blame, and the prestige of the army is bound to be greatly frustrated.

He is the general of Zhengdong, Zhao Xun is the general of Zhendong, although the position is of the same level, Zhao Xun's military power is far inferior to Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, and at the same time Zhang Jun is the marquis, the cousin-in-law of King Xian, such a defeat and humiliation, even ordinary people can't swallow this breath.

Now it seems that Ding Yang Hou's greed for merit is only one of them, his jealousy and self-righteousness are the biggest enemies of the Xian army, so he passed on the defeat and various mistakes to others, and Zhao Xun, the general of Zhendong, was awarded by the King of Xian, he couldn't take it, so he had to pry Zhao Xun's corner, and this corner was Bailiyan.

Killing Zhao Xun is obviously unreasonable, after all, he took Feicheng, so he can only find a subordinate of Zhao Xun to be a substitute for the dead ghost to weaken Zhao Xun's influence in taking Feicheng, and this person fell on Bailiyan's head under Lu Jing's previous report.

Thinking of this, a trace of ridicule and pathos flashed in Baili Yan's eyes, and at this time, Zhao Xun heard the news that he wanted to kill Bai Li Yan, and categorically stopped:

"Marquis Dingyang, Wei Xian has merit and hard work in our Xian country, it is Wei Xian's credit to defend Yin Yangcheng, and it is also Wei Xian's credit to take Feicheng, our army is now rich in grain and grass, or Wei Xian's credit. It's just that Marquis Ding Yang doesn't reward him, why do you want to blame him. ”

Seeing Zhao Xun colliding, Ding Yanghou looked at it meaningfully, was silent for a moment and said:

"It's okay for Yiqi people to mix into our army, and now they are spying on military aircraft without authorization, and General Zhao, as the general of my Xianguo, is tied up by the little colonel and the military lang to listen to the plan, not to mention what is the face of my Xianguo, how to say the law and discipline of this military order in the past.

If a precedent is set today, in the future, not all soldiers will be able to point fingers at our army and talk about military aircraft. "Ding Yanghou is confidently moved out of military law.

"What about Wei Xian's merits. If everyone is punished for talking about military aircraft, who else in the world dares to give advice to our country and our army. ”

"General Zhao's words are not acquiescing in corrupting military discipline and ignoring the law!"

"Military discipline and law are the foundation of governing the army, but where is justice? It is true that our army defeated the sneak attack of the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and it is true that the capture of Feicheng is not false, if it were not for Wei Xian's planning, I am afraid that our army would have been destroyed by the Jin army, let alone military discipline and law. ”

The word "justice" is worth a thousand words, and more than three-thirds of the generals in the account are Zhao Xun's subordinates, and Zhao Xun defeated the Jin cavalry They have personally experienced and captured Feicheng. If Marquis Ding Yang can even deny Wei Xian's credit, then how can other people's merits be counted.

Things have developed to this point, and it is difficult for Ding Yanghou to ride a tiger, and he only feels that the steps under his feet have been wiped out. Everyone's eyes looked at his face at this time, his eyes were complicated, even his descendant Lu Jing was silent at this time, not that he didn't want to help Ding Yanghou, but if he spoke, how would others look at him.

After all, since crossing the river, he and Ding Yang Hou have achieved nothing, and Zhao Xun has moved out of "justice", obviously no matter how he offends Zhao Xun, it is unjustifiable, not to mention that Zhao Xun is one level higher than him.

At this time, there was silence in the tent, and Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, thought that he couldn't speak, or he didn't know what to say, but when everyone was silent, he heard Bailiyan sneer:

"Hahaha......"

Ding Yanghou's face was gloomy, and he was even more unhappy at this time:

"Roaring Benhou flouts military law, Wei Xian, you are guilty."

"Huh!" He continued to sneer: "I heard it in the Jin Kingdom early in the next morning, and the wind of attacking and competing with each other in the Xian Kingdom is no less than the prostitutes in the Fengyue Field, but any little bit of small profit can be fucked in the same room." The traitor Fengyang Jun Jiang He was like this before, and now it seems that Ding Yanghou is also this generation. ”

"Ann dares to speak wildly, come on!"

"No!" The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward.

"Drag Ben out of the tent, first lead the army with eighty sticks, and then put him on death row!"

"No!"

The swords of the pro-soldiers came out together, put a fight on Baili Yan's neck, stepped forward to remove the armor and sword, and was about to escort out of the tent, Zhao Xun couldn't bear it anymore, and said sharply:

"Marquis Dingyang, Wei Xian is my subordinate, even if he wants to deal with it, it is not General Zhang's turn to deal with it. If there is any objection, you and I will each write to the king to state the details, and the matter will be decided by the king, and General Zhang will decide what he wants. ”

Ding Yanghou looked at Zhao Xun coldly:

"Humph! Today, for the sake of General Zhao, put him on death row, and then send him down in the future! ”

After that, Ding Yanghou waved his hand, and his soldiers escorted Bailiyan away.

Eighty military sticks can be beaten to death by not only human beings, but also bears. Ding Yanghou seems to have taken a step back and bypassed Bailiyan's capital crime, but in fact, if the eighty military sticks are really taken off, they will still be dead, and no one can stand the eighty military sticks.

At this time, the atmosphere in the tent was cold, and Zhao Xun arched his hand and said:

"The decisive battle is imminent, and I hope that Ding Yanghou will think twice, and he will leave!"

The words fell, and Zhao Xun turned away. Ding Yanghou was angry and kicked over the table in front of him to vent his personal anger.

Soon after Bai Liyan was escorted out of the tent, he was put in a prisoner cart in the baggage camp, which was said to be a prisoner cart, but in fact it was a wooden cage tied with wooden sticks, which was used to hold and punish soldiers, or soldiers who were about to be killed.

Not long after entering the cage, Zhao Xun followed, Bailiyan hung his head and sighed:

"General Zhao......"

"Don't worry, the Marquis of Ding Yang will not dare to kill you for this matter, if he forcibly punishes you with death, he will definitely report it to the king."

"General Xie."

"Don't thank me, I should have thanked you. originally planned to open the shogunate after defeating the Jin army's class division and take you under his command, but he never thought that the Marquis of Ding Yang would be jealous and want to kill you, which was the general's negligence for a while.

You are a school soldier, and I ask you, although you are not in harmony with the law, but there is nothing to do. It's just that I never thought that the Marquis of Ding Yang would be so greedy and reckless, alas, ......"

Zhao Xun sighed for a long time, he didn't know that the wind of Xianguo's attack was rampant, if there was a war in an extraordinary year, I was afraid that Xianguo would have been torn apart. Thinking of this, he said:

"You can rest in peace for a few days, I think the army will have to be repaired in these days, and then fight again. It's just that I have a vague premonition that this battle is ominous, and I am afraid that it will be sluggish after the war. ”

"Don't be discouraged, the general has another plan in the future, but it is very dangerous, and the general must grasp it properly."

"What a plan?"

"Han He retreated to Duyang, and he would not dare to station the Chinese army in Duyang. Duyang City is shallow in a small pool, even if it relies on the main force of the Jin army, the city will definitely be broken under a long attack, so Han He will definitely move the Chinese army outside the city, once Duyang is lost, he can retreat to Hechi with his whole body, and join the defenders of Hechi, and then gain a firm foothold in order to fight again. Therefore, the key to attacking Duyang is to break through the Chinese army.

And this is a decisive battle, and Han He still doesn't know what is happening, so he will be afraid. The previous time was almost captured due to the failure of the sneak attack of the third son of the king of Jin, Han He categorically did not dare to let Ji Chang fight, but let him stay in the Chinese military tent.

Therefore, if the general has an opportunity, he can order the cavalry to sneak attack the Chinese army during the big battle, even if it cannot be broken, Han He will transfer troops to the rescue, so that the enemy in front of Du Yang will have an opportunity. ”

"That makes sense." Zhao Xun agreed, and then said: "The battle of Duyang is bound to be tragic, even if Han He is determined to fight, he must preset a way to retreat, and it is not the best policy to set up the Chinese army's tent in the city, once the city is broken, it is difficult to escape in time." Placing the Chinese army outside the city was the best policy. ”
