225 Find the enemy

yes.

Jingkang's army can't go through the Eastern Xia, if it is to pursue the Eastern Xia army, they are not familiar with the desert grassland...... And the army depends on supplies. If the Eastern Xia army did not take the initiative to attack, how could such a battle be fought? The emperor didn't seem to have thought about this problem from beginning to end, and he drank happily at the feast in the evening, rolled all night with the beauties who were sleeping, and woke up to find that many generals were waiting for him.

The Emperor didn't even know that Dia Bird had thought about him all night.

The emperor sat down in front of the generals and asked them, "Have you not been at war with the Eastern Xia today?" How's the battle going? ”

The generals looked at each other.

There is a huge disparity in numbers between the Eastern Xia army and the Jingkang army, and they were beaten away yesterday, will they appear today? If it appears, everyone will be surprised and think that there must be a conspiracy.

The Emperor was furious. He couldn't understand why one of his own questions, such a simple question, made everyone stunned. He repeated unhappily: "Didn't play today? ”

Dong Wen hurriedly got up and shouted "Your Majesty" as he approached.

He wanted to remind him privately, but the emperor was obviously not enlightened, and said angrily: "Why not fight? Yes. Yesterday's casualties were not small, which made you feel that the Eastern Xia army should not be underestimated, and because of this, you want to let them have no respite, how many people are there, how many of us are there? ”

This is a typical Central Plains operational idea.

You're right across from me, and at most there's a city to live in, and as long as I have a lot of people, I'll keep beating you until you're gone.

The emperor didn't feel anything, and Dong Wen's face was already uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and told, "Your Majesty." It's not that we don't go to war, and the Eastern Xia army has retreated? Where shall we go to fight him? Even if you can find it, what if you attack him and he retreats? Of course, it was not that we could not pursue, first, we were afraid of dispersing the army and burrowing into his pockets and traps, and second, we were not ready to divide our troops to occupy Eastern Xia. The generals are waiting here to let His Majesty have an idea. ”

As soon as he said this, the emperor's face was cloudy, and he even suspected that the generals would make him ugly, so he couldn't help but glance at Dong Wen with unkind eyes, and sneered: "Then there is no way." ”

He said in a weird way: "Then don't fight." Back to the customs? ”

Everyone knelt down to plead guilty, and the emperor said coldly: "You are generals, come to me to ask me about everything, and I will command for you?" When I should have listened, I didn't listen, and yesterday before the battle told you to leave your cavalry in pursuit, but what about your cavalry? It's up to you to decide how to fight today, but they've all come to me and ask me about it. ”

One of the generals stood up sharply and said, "Yesterday we left cavalry, and we also used it in pursuit......

That's a back-to-the-head.

The emperor was furious, picked up the jade Ruyi in his hand and smashed it down, shouting, "Pull me down." ”

Dong Wen also had a headache.

This general's name is Liu Yifu, and he is also a person with outstanding military achievements.

He hurriedly interceded on behalf of this person and said, "Your Majesty." Your Majesty. The big war is coming, and it is the time to employ people. ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but if he did, the emperor was put in a routine that didn't use this person, and the emperor sneered: "Do I lack people?" Captured by me, someone who knows how to use cavalry? ”

All of them lost their color.

The emperor was right, Liu Yifu was the general of the cavalry army reserved yesterday.

To be fair, Dong Wen doesn't think he made a mistake either, and soon the Dongxia people will leave the battlefield, as a cavalry general, the most mobile, don't you chase it?

Sitting in place and watching the infantry chasing the cavalry?

What's more, every arrangement was made by himself and the army and generals in the line, and then reported to the emperor for decision.

A few Royal Forest soldiers came up, pressed Liu Yifu and left.

Liu Yifu was very aggrieved, twisted his body a few times, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty said that I made a mistake in the battle yesterday, I have nothing to say, after all, there are many casualties, but if I say that I don't understand cavalry tactics, I don't accept it." A person who doesn't believe in others can stand stupidly and watch the enemy army leave the battlefield. ”

He shouted out in disbelief.

The emperor couldn't hold back even more, and shouted, "Then let you take it." ”

He smiled sharply and said to Dong Wen: "Call Xiaoguo Du Wei Jianwei to come." ”

Dong Wen was stunned for a moment.

He suspected that the emperor had already made arrangements, Jianbu was the first general to propose the cavalry system - tactics, and Jianwei was cultivated by him, does the emperor want to change generals?

He didn't dare to persuade anymore, and immediately asked people to call Jianwei.

Jianwei came and met the emperor.

The emperor immediately asked him, "If I had made you a cavalry general, I would have said what would you do on the battlefield yesterday?" ”

Jian Wei didn't think about it and said: "The Dongxia army is withdrawn to the northwest, and Yuyang is in the northeast of the battlefield, if I am a cavalry general, I will make a detour to the northeast and wait for them there." ”

The generals whispered.

Jianwei didn't know why the emperor called him, and he was a little proud, feeling that he had played this question quite well.

The emperor pointed at Jianwei and sneered: "People like Jianwei who have not been on the battlefield know how to use this cavalry, where to use it, how to pursue it, what do you General Liu say?" You chase forward, what is the result of chasing? It was also detoured by the Eastern Xia army and beaten to the ground. ”

The emperor announced: "Confine me down, and Jianwei will refer to me, yesterday I killed the enemy generals, and I have not yet praised them." ”

Kinway was taken aback.

What kind of jumping method is this, a nominal scattered general, a medal obtained by their fathers and ancestors, can command 10,000 people at once.

But among the generals, no one questioned it...... They have similar thoughts to Dong Wen, this is what the emperor has thought deeply, and today is just an excuse to change generals.

Liu Yifu sighed, turned his head over, and accepted his fate, letting the Imperial Forest Army escort him forward.

Jianwei was still stunned.

Soon, he remembered Xiong Xilai's admonition yesterday and said loudly, "Your Majesty." You can't praise me too much for slaying the enemy, it shouldn't be my level of advancement. ”

His resignation made the emperor feel even more comfortable.

Look?

This is a good obedient boy, at least he knows how to be humble.

The emperor simply asked, "I'll ask you." Can you bring good soldiers? How did you learn the art of war taught by your grandfather? Just answer my question, do you dare to bring it? Do you have the confidence to lead good soldiers? He earnestly enticed and said, "If you make a great contribution and return to Changyue with honor, your grandfather will pick you up in the suburbs and ask who is the first to do this battle." I'll tell him, you, Jianwei. His grandson. ”

Jianwei's face flushed.

As a martial artist, who doesn't want to make contributions, who thinks they are cowardly, have no self-confidence, and dare not take responsibility?

What's more, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, studying the art of war, and being taught by his grandfather that he must open up territory for the country and be loyal to the king.

He tensed his face, bowed his body, and shouted decisively: "The last general will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

The generals remembered his grandfather's great military exploits and echoed the emperor's fame in unison.

However, it will be changed, where is the Dongxia army? Why do you want to continue fighting them? The emperor was inspired by Jianwei, and he had an idea and said: "It must be in the northeast, how can he pretend, and he also retreats to the northeast, where is Yuyang, isn't he afraid that the army will enter Yuyang?" ”

The generals don't think so.

This grassland is so big, Dia Niao is not a fool, there is no danger to defend, in the direction of Yuyang, resisting the army of the imperial court step by step.

But the emperor was so sure that Dong Wen sent an order to let the scouts search in the northeast direction.

After searching for a long time, the emperor's wisdom was confirmed.

Dia Niao thought about it for them, and let them find the army of Eastern Xia, who was building a camp on a small barren slope in the direction of Yuyang.

The Emperor laughed.

The Manchu generals didn't know how to find the enemy, he found it, and this enemy, he also built the earth city, intending to defend the army there, you say, is this wisdom.

In that case, let the army march out with confidence and attack his humble offensive.

If he retreats again, then he will fight to Yuyang.
