In the middle of summer, the sun is still shining, it is very sultry, on the official road leading to Hongnong County in Pandou City, General Da Xiwu, who is wearing black armor, black cloak, black helmet and bronze beast face, personally led two scouts to run wildly on the official road.

At the other end of the Hongnong County also noticed that Pandou City was abnormal, because Pandou City in Hucheng County was under the jurisdiction of Hongnong County, but when it was time to pay the soldiers, there was no trace of Gao Shuli, so Li Huibo also sent nine Eastern Wei Hou to investigate the situation of Pandou City, and also galloped on the official road leading to Pandou City in Hongnong County at the other end.

The landform here is due to the mountains and lush vegetation, but there is only one official road on the marching road, the two sides gallop in different directions, it is a natural thing to meet on the narrow road, in an instant, the two scouts led by General Xi Wu of the Western Wei Dynasty and the nine horsemen of the Eastern Wei Dynasty encountered, both sides invariably stopped the horses, only heard the neighing of the war horses, resounding through the official road.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty waited to ride on a large number of people, and saw that the chief of the leader shouted: "On the other side, there are scouts from the Western Wei army, can you dare to come to battle?" ”

At this time, the general Da Xiwu wearing a bronze beast face did not say a word, and directly pulled out the ring head war knife in his waist and rushed over, the Eastern Wei Hou rode to see the Western Wei scouts rushed up, and immediately rushed to meet the battle, and the two sides immediately started to fight, only to see the general Da Xiwu between the knife and the fall, the two Eastern Wei Hou rode down under the horse, very brave, the Eastern Wei Hou Cavalry led by the Shi Chang saw the situation and his eyes were red, so he fought together, only to hear "Ah... Yes... "The chief was cut off his horse.

The remaining two Eastern Wei Hou cavalry saw that the situation was not good, and ran away, General Da Xiwu and two scouts quickly reined in the horse to chase, everyone is a cavalry, you run and I will catch up, catch up after a mile, the two Hou Cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty knew that there was no way back, so they shouted and went up to fight hard, only to see General Da Xiwu raise the knife and fall, two Eastern Wei Hou Cavalry fell to the ground, and the blood of General Da Xiwu's war knife flowed everywhere, so he ordered the scout behind him: "Bury the body of the Eastern Wei Army Rider on the spot, and follow me to Hongnong County to check the defense to report to the lord!" ”

The two scouts said at the same time: "No! Checkmate! ”

In the early morning of the second day, the light rain continued continuously, and Yuwentai, who did not wait to meet with the vanguard army, took the lead in leading the 7,000 Chinese army to set off to attack Hongnong County, which had more than 20,000 defenders.

Hongnong County came in a blink of an eye, Yuwentai rode in front alone, and the elite cavalry of the rear brigade followed closely behind, and the black pressure approached the city pass of Hongnong County.

After seeing the approach of the Western Wei army, the deputy general on the city gate of Hongnong County immediately shouted: "Close the city gate, the archers are ready... I saw that the gate of Hongnong County was slowly closed, and all the soldiers on the city closed took their bows and arrows and aimed downward.

I saw that Yuwen Taile's horse, which was riding alone, stopped, and then waved his arm to signal the army to stop, glanced at the defenders on the city pass with disdain, slowly pulled out his sword, and shouted loudly: "The archers come forward... “

Then a row of archers stepped forward to draw their bows and arrows, only to hear the sound of "release the arrows... ”

Clusters of arrows rained down on the city pass, and the city pass suddenly screamed, and after three showers of arrow rain, Yu Wentai on the war horse shouted again: "The catapult stepped forward. ”

I saw two catapults pushed to the front, and I only heard a shout: "Loading stones... Put.... ”

The city pass was still screaming fiercely, and when the siege battle was in full swing, I saw the general flag of Li Huibo who stabbed Shi Li Huibo on the city pass, wearing red armor, red helmet, and red cloak, and shouted loudly with a war knife in his hand: "Concealment... ”

I saw the deputy general beside him say: "Lord Assassin Shi, the senior general of the prime minister's relatives has fled." ”

Li Huibo, the assassin of the history, said angrily: "I usually know how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, but I ran away when I was in battle, what a thing!" ”

The adjutant general said angrily: "The prime minister is not at ease with the adults, and specially sent senior cadres to restrain the adults, and now only I am left here to resist to the death, it is better to..." ”

Assassin Shi Li Hui's big two eyes stared at the deputy general, and said viciously: "I know your thoughts, even if you surrender to the Western Wei army now, I, and my brothers' families are all in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and there is only mortal resistance at the moment, Hongnong City and the city defense is strong, and there is enough grain and grass in the city, and it is not known who will kill the deer!" ”

At this time, Yuwentai, who was outside Hongnong City, saw the situation, waved his war knife forward, and shouted loudly: "Siege... I saw the black and oppressive Western Wei army carrying a ladder and braving arrows to attack the city, and the siege vehicle also pushed forward.

Most of the soldiers in Hongnong County have not been in battle, but they are ordered to defend the city, on the other hand, the Western Wei army is a long-standing elite general, the sky is dripping with light rain, after a while, the city gate was breached, Yuwentai saw the situation, brandished his war knife and shouted: "Enter the city。。。。。 Kill.. The cavalry behind him poured into the city with Yuwentai.

The soldiers in Hongnong City saw that the momentum of the Western Wei army was like a rainbow, and most of them surrendered, and many soldiers immediately put down their weapons and surrendered in order to survive.

Although Li Huibo's words were tough, when he met Zhenzhang, he instantly pretended to surrender.

So far, the Chinese army of the Western Wei Dynasty has captured more than 10,000 soldiers, and the siege battle can be described as remarkable, especially the siege of the city on a rainy day, which can be described as brave and abnormal, and then Yuwentai's strategic purpose was successfully achieved.

Hongnong City in the Assassin Mansion, only to see the middle hall hanging "mirror hanging" four gilt large character plaques, Yuwentai is wearing a battle armor under the plaque in the middle hall of the case a few sides of the sitting, carefully look at the military map on the case, the guard Cai You has always been an inch away from Yuwentai, the lobby above the five governors (Zhao Gui, Dugu Xin, Yu Jin, Li Bi, Hou Mo Chen Chong) are all seated in the middle hall, the main book Lu Wei after getting the news of the capture of Hongnong, the horse rushed here.

Suddenly, the Governor of Zhao Gui stood up and bowed and said: "Lord, since Hongnong has been taken, our army can hold this place for a long time, lock Hangu Pass, and the natural danger is in hand, why are you afraid of the attack of the Eastern Wei army?" ”

Dugu Xin also got up at this time and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Yu Wentai pondered for a while, did not say a word, just listened quietly, and kept looking at the military map on the case.

Seeing that Yuwentai didn't say a word, Yu Jin Dadu got up and saluted: "I think the lord is still thinking about continuing to go east at this moment!" ”

Yu Wentai suddenly glanced at Yu Jindadu, and said thoughtfully: "Well, since you can see what I think, you might as well talk about it!" ”

Governor Yu Jin said slowly at this time: "Lord, I only think of three key words, I don't know if I can talk about it?" ”

Yu Wentai said slowly at this time: "But it doesn't hurt to speak, the Metropolitan Governor has always been from a high position, and sit down to talk!" Sit down, everybody! I saw Duguxin and Zhao Gui both sitting down.

Yu Jin Governor also sat down at this time, Yu Jin, who has always been cautious and has a view of the overall situation, knows the way of officialdom as an official, but in the face of Yu Wentai, he did not shy away from it, so he said slowly: "The rear temple, the Eastern Wei Dynasty should deal with it, and the army will be supplied!" ”

At this time, Hou Mo Chen Chong interjected: "Brother Yu, please explain!" ”

Yu Wentai in the middle hall knocked on the desk with his right hand unnaturally, and the frequency became faster.

Governor Yu Jin paused, and said to Yuwentai in the middle hall: "Lord, I have only been in the Western Wei Dynasty for two years, and the policy of the DPRK and China is still the continuation of the policy set by Emperor Xiaowen of the Great Wei Dynasty. Second, our army took the initiative to go deep into the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty this time, and it was really thanks to the northern Rouran troops to contain it, once the Eastern Wei army repelled Rouran, the strong Eastern Wei Dynasty was bound to attack our Western Wei with all its might, and it would be difficult for our army to withdraw from the needle! “

Yuwentai interrupted at this time: "The Metropolitan Governor thinks that Gao Huan will repel Rouran, yes, but it takes time, the most critical thing for my Western Wei army at the moment is time, as long as you seize this gap, take advantage of the situation and continue to attack the city and plunder!" First, it can increase the territory of our Western Wei Dynasty, and second, it can also alleviate the famine in the middle of the court, and it can no longer be like now, once it encounters a natural disaster, my Western Wei court is incapable of facing the crisis, and it can only be used once! “

Yu Jin Dadu Governor defended: "Lord, forgive the words of the ministers, it is true that everything is pre-planned, and if it is not pre-planned, it will be wasted, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty will not care about each other at the moment, but once the Eastern Wei Dynasty solves the problem of Rouran in the north, when our army will go east to attack the city and plunder the land, the battle line is too long, and the state has always been controlled by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the logistics supply will pass through the narrow Hangu Pass, plus our army is not strong, can our Western Wei army be safe?" “

The main bookkeeper Lu Wei did not say a word at this time, and was thinking, looking at Yu Wentai in the middle hall from time to time.

Yu Wentai in the middle hall got up at this time, came to the center of the hall, and paced with his hands behind his back, thinking about what Yu Jin said to the Grand Governor.

At this time, Dugu Xin spoke: "My lord, the minister thinks that Yu Dadu's words are to the point, if you want to compete with the powerful Eastern Wei, you must straighten out my Western Wei court, among which raising the people is the top priority, and it is too early now!" ”

At this time, the Metropolitan Governor of Li Bi, the Metropolitan Governor of Zhao Gui, and the Metropolitan Governor of Hou Mo and Chen Chong all nodded in agreement.

Yuwentai was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and all the core generals did not agree to continue to march into the army, at this time, Yuwentai suddenly walked to the side of the main bookkeeper Lu Wei, and said slowly: "The master book has traveled a long way, can you be tired?" ”

The chief bookkeeper, Lu Wei, stood up at this time and saluted: "My lord, compared to all the governors, the minister's distance is nothing!" ”

Yuwentai then patted the shoulder of the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei and motioned for him to sit down, and said: "Since the master bookkeeper is not tired, after listening to all of you, what advice do you have!" ”

The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei said slowly at this time: "Yu Dadu Governor hits the current disadvantages, and the minister agrees, if the two armies face each other, there is no ingenuity at all, there must be strong national strength to support, and the source of strong national strength starts with a stable government!"

The ball was passed back to Yuwentai's hands, and all the cores present disagreed, so Yuwentai returned to the middle hall and sat down, and said slowly: "You all have concerns, I know what it means, the reason is that the time for the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty is too short, and it is also a fact that the government in the rear is disordered, and the troops are not sustained, but you all seem to have forgotten that my Western Wei army was able to stand firm in Guanzhong Sanfu by being able to fight and support the war, and then fight against the powerful Eastern Wei Dynasty!" ”

The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei stood up and admonished: "Lord, the minister remembered one of the sentences of "Sima Law", although the country is big, the belligerent will die, such as today's situation, the Southern Liang Zemen clan is unable to fight the Northern Expedition, my Western Wei can not borrow strength, Rouran is a country with milk is a mother, the Eastern Wei family has a strong foundation, if our army continues to fight the Eastern Wei, wait for the Eastern Wei to come back, concentrate the main force to fight to the death with me, our army will be in danger! “

Everyone in the hall agreed.

I saw Yu Wentai get up at this time, bypassed the case and came to the lobby, motioned for Lu Wei to sit down, and looked around at the core members in the lobby, pacing and said thoughtfully: "The main book cites the "Sima Law", although I am coarse and literate, and the foundation of Chinese culture is not as deep as the main book and the governor of the capital, but the second half of the "Sima Law" says, although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous, and now the situation of the Three Kingdoms, I have just gained a foothold in the Western Wei Dynasty, the disaster is raging, and the internal can not be highly gathered, the reason is that the long-term natural and man-made disasters and the disorder of the government and government, the recovery of the government is not a few days to recover, It will take a few years or even decades to recover, but because of my Western Wei Dynasty, I should close myself off the country and let the Eastern Wei Dynasty be slaughtered by Gao Huan? In the future, for decades, my Western Wei army will always be willing to be a shield, waiting for the spear of the Eastern Wei to pierce my Western Wei? At present, the government system is still following the policy left by Emperor Xiaowen, I don't talk about the drawbacks, everyone understands, but the foundation of the great cause, the first is the talent, who will outline the deed to lead the reform of the old Ding to increase the strength of the country, I am afraid that there is no one here! “

At this time, Lu Wei, the main bookkeeper, already knew what Yuwentai was thinking about, and he was still thinking about the talented Su Sui, so he secretly glanced at Yuwentai.

I saw Yu Wentai walking quickly to the middle hall at this time, holding the desk with both hands, and said categorically: "Everyone... ”

All the core members in the hall stood up and listened to Yuwentai's order, Yuwentai then ordered: "The way to govern the country is not something that can be broken clearly for a while, at present, the Eastern Wei Dynasty is contained by the north, and there is no time to look south, our army takes advantage of its gap to continue to fight, Dugu Xin Dadu Governor was quite appreciated by Emperor Xiaowu back then, and has a foundation in Luoyang, the central capital, there is hope, Dadu Governor can find the right time to take Luoyang and threaten the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty - Yecheng!" ”

I saw Dugu Xin's Governor come out and bow his hand and said, "No! Lord!"

Yu Wentai then instructed: "The country of destroying people, first of all, the first step is to divide the enemy, you and pass the order, whoever can bring the Eastern Wei army or collect the local wealthy families in Henan to surrender, they will all be added to the official ranks, but they can't hurt the people, and the violators will be dealt with according to military regulations!" ”

All the governors said in unison: "No!"

Yu Wentai instructed the chief bookkeeper Lu to argue: "The chief bookkeeper must do two things well at the moment, first, open the Changping granary in Hongnong County, and send people to send people to Chang'an to hand over the grain to the left servant to shoot Zhou Huida to deal with the famine, and second, to escort Li Huibo, the assassin of Shaanzhou, to Chang'an to offer prisoners, so as to appease the hearts of the people of the imperial court, and then deter the internal undercurrent of the DPRK and China; Third, the army can take food on the spot for temporary rest, step up the training of soldiers, and stand by to move! ”

All the governors and the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei bowed and replied: "No! Then hurriedly walked out of the Shaanzhou Thorn History Mansion and was busy with his own business.

Yu Wentai looked at the figure of the generals walking out, and then bypassed the case to the lobby, and came to the gate of the Thorn Mansion with his arms behind his back, stopped and looked at the sky outside, although his heart was infinitely stunned, but his eyes were extremely firm, the year of the catastrophe was to seek skin with the tiger, and he could take advantage of as much as he could, and since then he has opened the strategic situation of the Western Wei Dynasty taking the initiative to attack the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Predict what will happen next, and see how it will be broken down next time!
