Chapter 241: The Snake of Changshan
In the afternoon, in the camp on the banks of the Rushui River, under the heavy vigilance of the forbidden army, Yuwen Weicheng was watching the eunuchs catch fish by the river, several boys followed him, and he followed suit, and Wei Chi Chi was standing not far away, a little absent-minded.
She and her son came here with the army, and a few miles downstream was the Hanging Gourd City, although no one told her directly whether the rebels in the Hanging Gourd City were pretending to be King Di or King Di himself, but she was not a fool and could guess the truth of the matter.
Her husband, Jun Yu Wenwen (who was crowned King of Di), is in the Hanging Gourd City.
And her uncle, who was commanding a large army to besiege the city.
There are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and no matter how tenacious the garrison is, there are no reinforcements outside, so if it is consumed, there will be a day when the food will run out and the city will be broken, and on the day the city is broken, her husband will die.
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Chi Chifan felt that his heart was like a knife, and tears couldn't stop pouring out, but he was afraid that his son would see it, so he could only cry alone in no one or in the dead of night.
Her marriage with Yuwen Wen is the result of the marriage between the Yu Chi clan and the Yuwen clan, and when the two families break up, everything is irreparable, no matter which side wins, there will be close relatives killed, which is endless grief for her.
Such a cruel truth, she has not told her son until now, because there is no way to talk about it, and there is no way to say it.
It is impossible to explain why Aya never came back; I can't explain why my younger siblings are missing; Can't explain a lot of things.
These things will only be understood slowly when the son grows up.
What will happen in the future, Wei Chi Chifan didn't dare to think about it, in front of the interests of the family, a weak woman has no ability to resist, and there are countless such things throughout the ages.
Yu Chi Chi thought that if Yuwen Wen died, she would never remarry if she was martyred, just like when Yuwen Zhou replaced the Western Wei Dynasty, the last emperor Yuan Kuo was poisoned, and the queen Yuwen died of martyrdom, but she had a son, the son of Yuwen Wen.
She's dead, what about Thorny?
So Wei Chi Chi is in a dilemma, but after the change of dynasty, can his son still live?
For hundreds of years, which emperor has died a good death?
In response to this question, her father promised that Yuwen Weicheng would live well, and it was this guarantee that allowed her to endure her anxiety and make up her mind to live with her son.
The strength of the Yuwen clan is strong, and the Yuwen clan is bound to come to an end, and her husband is afraid that he will not escape the end of death, so letting Yuwen Weicheng live and continue the bloodline of her husband is the only thing that Yu Chi Chifan, as his wife, can do for Yuwen Wen.
But she doesn't want Yuwenwen to have anything to do, so she hopes that the situation will continue like this, and when the time comes, when the Wei Chi clan is in the east, she will raise her eldest son Thorn Lang for Yuwen Wen, so that Thorn Lang can grow up, become an adult, and start a family.
And Yuwen's family is in the west, Yuwenwen takes the second son born to the two of them, and other children to live well together.
However, Yuwen Wen is now in the Hanging Gourd City, and the Hanging Gourd is surrounded by the officials and soldiers, and sooner or later...
Turning to the cruel reality again, Wei Chi Chifan only felt that his eyes were hot, for fear that people would see him, so he took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe his sweat, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
At this time, she really wanted to cry in her mother's arms, but her mother still had to comfort her sister, who was also depressed, and the sisters were now miserable, and the Wang family, who was a mother, couldn't keep it busy at all.
Thinking of this, Wei Chi Chi looked to the south, wanting to see the hanging gourd city that could be seen on the other side of the mound through the layers of camp tents.
The imperial tent of the Son of Heaven is located in the north of the mound, and he can't see the situation around the Hanging City in the south, and the Son of Heaven can't walk through the mound to see the situation in the south on weekdays, which is intentional by the prime minister, and Wei Chi Chifan knows that it is to avoid seeing things that shouldn't be seen by the Thorn Lang, so he acquiesces.
And the official army attacked the hanging gourd day and night, and the movement would be transmitted to the imperial tent to some extent, which made Wei Chi Chifan, who accompanied the thorn lang, sleepless all night, especially in the early morning of last night, the movement in the direction of the hanging gourd was not small, and the prime minister went out of the camp early this morning to supervise the battle, which made Wei Chi Chifan's heart more and more uneasy.
When the sun rose in the east, the movement in the direction of the hanging gourd became bigger and bigger, and Wei Chi Chifan listened with fear, and when he heard that there was no movement now, he didn't know whether the official army attacked the hanging gourd, or the siege failed again.
"Ah Niang!! It's a snake!! ”
A scream frightened Yu Chi Chi's face, it was the voice of his son Thorn Lang, as a mother, it couldn't be more sensitive, but the voice was not afraid but more like a surprise.
When Wei Chi Chifan heard that there was a snake, he thought that his son might be bitten by a snake, so he was very nervous, and ran to his son, only to see a snake crawling out of the net pocket in the hand of the eunuch who was fishing by the river.
The snake was more than a foot long, and it crawled to the shore in an instant, and the eunuch next to him was so frightened that he was at a loss, Yuwen Weicheng and a few boys were not afraid, picked up the branch and rushed up to catch the snake.
These boys have been accompanying Yuwen Weicheng in Xiyang Palace, and together with Xiao Langjun, they have followed Lord Lang to catch snakes, and they can distinguish what is a poisonous snake and what is a non-poisonous snake.
The little ones had caught snakes with their own hands, and they were brave enough to play with them, so they were not as afraid of snakes as other children, and now they were overjoyed to see a non-venomous snake crawling over.
They were delighted, and the guards on one side were so frightened that their faces changed greatly, and they quickly stepped forward and picked up the Son of Heaven, and a few more guards swept around with sticks, tossed for a moment, and pressed the snake to the ground with sticks.
Yu Chi Chifan took over his son, and was finally relieved to see that his son was not bitten, Yuwen Weicheng was bored for a long time, and finally saw something funny, so he lied to Ah Niang: "Ah Niang, the child wants to play with snakes..."
"No! It's too dangerous! ”
"Oh..."
Yu Chi Chifan was a little angry, when she was still in Xiyang, Yu Wenwen, who was Aye, actually took her son to catch snakes, she was so angry that she cried when she knew about it, for fear of an accident.
It's just that now her son is looking at her with blank eyes, and she is not too fierce.
A few guards forked the snake up with wooden sticks and walked out, which was not so troublesome, and it was done with a knife on the spot, but this move was a little inappropriate in front of the young emperor, so it was so civilized.
The snake twisted its body, forming a ring, looking like it was connected from head to tail, and Yuwen Weicheng, who was a little worried when he saw Ah Niang, was angry, and behaved like a treasure: "Ah Niang, this is the snake that Aya said!" ”
"What... Snake? ”
Wei Chi Chifan doesn't like snakes, or is afraid of snakes, so he doesn't want to look at snakes, but his son looks at her with his eyes blank, and he can't bear to splash cold water and asks questions.
"Well, what Aya said, head to tail, called 'Snake of Changshan'!"
。。。。。。
On the eastern outskirts of the city, on the mound, the prime minister Chi Dan stood under the cool umbrella, the Yellow Dragon soldiers guarded the left and right, and several generals in front of him were pleading guilty, the siege of the city was piled up, and the result was that the enemy cavalry rushed out of the city with the help of the soil mountain, not to mention the heavy casualties of the officers and soldiers, and even the prime minister who watched the battle on the spot was almost killed by the other party.
The enemy army actually rushed in front of the prime minister, and the distance was only twenty paces!
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, anything will happen on the battlefield, and when a widow comes to the battlefield, he has put life and death aside, and he is disturbed by thieves, what is the way?" Wei Chidun looked into the distance and said lightly.
"But the army is governed by a few people, and there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and those who have made meritorious contributions in this war must be rewarded, and those who have neglected their duties must be punished by military law."
"The last general commands!" Several generals replied loudly, and then saluted again: "The incompetence of the last general and others frightened the prime minister, thanks to the trust of the prime minister, the last general and others will not be punished, and the last general is willing to make meritorious contributions!" ”
"Committing crimes and making meritorious contributions is done with practical actions, not with words."
"The last general understands!"
"Before sunset, report the casualties."
"The last general commands!"
Although Wei Chi was talking to the generals, his eyes kept looking at the hanging city in front of him, looking at the earth mountain in the northeast corner of the city, and in the early morning, the Anzhou cavalry rushed out of the city along the earth mountain and rushed in front of him.
And he, just a little bit, can shoot the enemy commander Yu Wenwen!
Twenty steps away from each other was so close that the little rabbit cub dodged it!
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Chidun was annoyed, if he really shot Yu Wenwen to death, it would be enough to cause chaos in the hearts of the Anzhou army, and the hanging city was just around the corner, and now....
Before the arrival of reinforcements, the Anzhou cavalry retreated to the hanging gourd through the earth mountain cleanly, and also took away the soldiers who fell from their horses and were injured, and when the official cavalry caught up, the city sent a large number of crossbowmen and spearmen to the mountain to respond, so the official cavalry failed to achieve any results.
On the contrary, the outside of the city was full of messes and corpses, although the specific casualty statistics have not yet come out, but Wei Chidun can already determine that this time it is really a heavy casualty, and the siege has failed again.
At this moment, many soldiers and young men are cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the remains of the war dead, and recovering the remains of the burned war equipment.
Wei Chidun looked desolate and sighed, although victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, but no one likes to taste the taste of defeat, he looked at the general in front of him, and asked: "Tell me, what should I do next?" ”
"Back to the prime minister, the top priority is to treat the wounded soldiers, and then beware of the enemy's sneak attack tonight!"
Wei Chidun nodded when he heard this, this is very reasonable, the enemy army does have a high chance of sneaking out of the city tonight, and asked again: "In this case, what is the countermeasure?" ”
"Prime Minister, please rest assured, our military camp is divided into four villages, east, south, west and north, and there are long trenches and long enclosures to connect, just like the snakes of Changshan head and tail look at each other, the hanging gourd is tightly surrounded, the enemy dares to come to the night attack, no matter where the attack is, it will be attacked by the left and right reinforcements!"
。。。。。。
"Night raid? I'm afraid that the enemy army will be on strict guard tonight, and if Yang Yuanjun leads the troops to attack at night, won't he fall into the net? ”
"King, don't you hear that the art of war has a cloud of 'virtual reality'?"
"Sit."
"King Xie."
In the small courtyard next to the room, Yu Wenwen, who had just washed off his stains, wore a crotch, sat on the Hu bed with a hand towel to wipe his hair, and talked to Yang Su, who was also sitting on the Hu bed.
Not far away, there was a lot of noise in the room, it was the soldiers who had returned from the city to kill the enemy in triumph, lining up to take a hot bath, and by the way, let the military doctor clean up the wounds.
Yu Wenwen led his troops out of the city to kill today, and was almost shot to death by the enemy commander Wei Chi Dan, but he almost shot Wei Chi Dan to death or maimed him, and he was able to turn the situation around the world almost instantly.
It's just that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is fleeting, and Yu Wenwen only felt a little trance for a while.
And after he returned to the city, as soon as he finished explaining the relevant matters and took a hot bath, Yang Su asked for a meeting outside, and asked him for war and said that he would personally lead his troops out of the city tonight to attack the enemy army.
Today, the two armies are fighting a vicious battle, if it is common sense, they should rest and recuperate in the camp (city) that night, especially for the besieging side with large casualties, they should lick their wounds well, so at this time, the defenders went out of the city to attack at night, and it should have a miraculous effect.
However, both sides must understand this truth, and the other party must be strictly guarded, so Yang Su took the initiative to ask for a night attack out of the city, fearing that he would break his head and bleed and lose his soldiers and horses in vain.
For Yuwenwen's question, Yang Su is confident, during this period of time, after careful observation and pondering, he found that Yuwenwen's style of using soldiers is not very conservative, and he is willing to take risks, so he is sure to persuade the other party.
vaguely returned to more than ten years ago, in the face of the young Qi Wang Yu Wenxian, he stated his opinion, took the initiative to seek battle, and charged into battle.
Yang Su used to be the secretary of King Yuwen of Jin, and later became a general under the command of King Yu Wenxian of Qi, participated in the alignment battle, and won the county duke title with his accumulated military exploits.
"The widow asked, who are the main soldiers who go out of the city at night?"
"Back to the king, the subordinate officials are mainly trained in Yuzhou?"
"It's just more than two months, can you fight?"
"King, Han Xin broke Zhao Zhi's backwater in a battle, and the recruits used were only trained for three months, and the subordinate officials were not talented, so they didn't dare to compare with Han Xin, but the troops in Yuzhou were already soldiers, and they were trained for more than two months, and they could also fight."
"So, are these soldiers blindfolded?"
"The king, the lower officials selected the blindfolded people to go out of the city to fight, but they still need the king's troops to assist..."
"Assistance? The enemy besieges the city, divided into four battalions in the east, south, west and north, and there is a long siege and a long trench connected, and the hanging gourd is surrounded by water, our army attacks at night, attacks one of them, and comes to the rescue elsewhere, this is the situation of the 'snake of Changshan' in the art of war, how does Yang Zhijun break it? ”
The snake of Changshan, the legendary snake that can take care of each other, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: so make good use of soldiers, such as frankness. Those who are reckless are also the snakes of the mountains. Hit the first one
The tail arrives, the tail is the first to hit, and the first to the end is the first to hit the middle.
Generally speaking, the formation that can take care of each other has the Changshan snake potential, and the long snake formation often said in the commentary is one of them.
Yu Wenwen asked a few questions, Yang Su answered them one by one, for the most critical how to break the enemy, of course, it was "so, so, so, so", the two talked for a long time, and Yuwenwen was persuaded by the other party.
Yang Su retired, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he took a look at Wang Fei of the Wangfu Records Room who was waiting outside the door, and the two nodded to each other and went in and out, Wang Fei came to Yu Wenwen, and said after saluting: "Wang, your subordinates offer advice." ”
"What's the solution?"
"My subordinates suggested, tonight night attack."
