Chapter 128: The strategy of the Chinese army's tent

At the next day's court meeting, Li Shimin only announced the results of the previous handling to the ministers and informed the world of Li Yi's rebellion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info then ordered Wei Chi, Gong Chang, Sun Wuji, and Luo Yan to lead the army to rush to Fengzhou immediately.

Fengzhou is not far from Chang'an, but the weather is a little cold, and the daytime is relatively short in the season, so the long queue walks from noon to the sunset West Mountain, and it can walk out of dozens of miles. It was expected that after getting up tomorrow morning, the forced march would arrive in the afternoon, so Wei Chigong ordered him to go down and camp on the spot to rest.

After arranging the sentry post, he assisted the guards in setting up the tent, and Wei Chi Gong summoned many generals and lieutenants to discuss the strategy after arriving in Fengzhou tomorrow.

According to the available information, the generals believed that it was necessary to forcibly attack the city. The harvest in Fengzhou was good last year, and the grain and grass in the treasury were quite sufficient, if there was a war of attrition with them, there would be too many people and horses on their side, which would not be conducive to a long-term siege. Moreover, considering the impact of this incident, Li Shimin has just changed his yuan, and there is such a thing, and it is necessary to defeat and capture Li Yi in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it will really lose Li Shimin's face.

Wei Chi Jingde listened to it deeply. However, the strong attack is also a tough one, as far as Li Yi's military talent is concerned, it is not bragging, Li Yi has fought more battles than his lieutenant Chi Jingde. If his side suffers heavy losses, he will not be able to explain it to Li Shimin.

Just when Wei Chi Gong was preparing to be stationed outside the city of Fenzhou the next day, he took advantage of the night to attack at night, Luo Yan suddenly opened his mouth and stopped Yu Chi Jingde's words.

"Does the general know that the grain and grass that Your Majesty has given me is enough for the army to eat for a few days?" As a military secretary, Luo Yan is naturally qualified to participate in such a meeting, and has the right to express his own opinions.

Wei Chigong thought about it and said: "Your Majesty has given me enough grain and grass for a month, but considering the impact of this matter, I can only fight quickly, I think that within seven days, the army must capture Fengzhou." Wei Chi Jingde naturally had a plan in his heart, so he didn't hide it from Luo Yan and said directly.

"I have a way, if I can do it, I can take the city of Fengzhou without blood, and by the way, I also captured Li Yi alive. I just don't know if the general dares to take risks. Luo Yan said very easily.

With such a method, Wei Chigong was naturally very happy. The soldier's heavy losses were not what he wanted to see, if there was a way to take the city without blood, as long as the method Luo Yan said did not exceed his psychological expectations, he would definitely agree.

Lieutenant Chi Jingde nodded and said, "Since you have such a good method, you will come so soon, and it will save me from waiting here to meditate." Originally, this is what you literati should do, and it would be a pity that you have so many flowers and intestines in your stomach that you don't have to be on the enemy. It seems to be a compliment, but it is actually a sarcastic remark, which makes many generals under him laugh.

But laughing back at the smile, these people still had their ears on the edge of their ears to stop what Luo Yan said about a good idea.

Yang Yang held a few booklets in his hand, and Luo Yan said: "This is the situation I got from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War before I left about the governor of the prefecture, Shi Zhao Cihao, and the commander of the army, Yang Qi, both of whom are loyal. After the fall of Fenzhou, the news came from Zhao Cihao. By all indications, the two men are still alive and likely to move quite freely. ”

After a pause, Luo Yan continued: "We can send our henchmen to sneak into the city in the night tomorrow, wait for the opportunity to find the two of them, let them gather the soldiers in the original city, take the opportunity to open the city gate, and we will enter the city and capture Li Yi alive." In addition, he ordered people to infiltrate the city and spread the edict that His Majesty had designated Li Yi as a rebel. Early in Zhao Cihao's news, he said that Li Yi was coerced by the soldiers in the name of His Majesty's secret edict Rujing, and this edict was spread, and at the same time promised that we would only kill the first evil and the rest of the people would not be investigated. Third, at this time, the army should be divided into two routes, one way to go straight to Fengzhou, and the other way to cut off Li Yi's escape to Youyan and the Turks, so that even if it is a strong attack, it can be guaranteed. ”

It is impossible for Luo Yan not to consider the possibility of Li Yi fleeing to the Turks after his defeat, although in the hearts of others, the Turks may hate Li Yi and grit their teeth. But if Li Yi really went to defect, the Turks would definitely treat it as if they had seen gold. They have always admired the strong, and they have always refused to come to the Han heroes. People like Liu Heimin, Gao Kaidao, and Yun Junzhang have repeatedly defected to betray the Turks, but they still have great enthusiasm for these people when they are in the Turks.

As for what Luo Yan said, Wei Chi Jingde naturally agreed, but there was also a problem in the middle, Wei Chi Jingde asked: "You are so sure, there is absolutely no problem with these two people." "This is a major matter involving tens of thousands of people, if you are deceived by these two people, then Wei Chi Jingde will be unable to escape the blame, so you must be cautious at this time.

Nodding, Luo Yan said: "If I say the one of Wen, I don't dare to guarantee it, but this one of Wu, I can use my life as a guarantee, and there will definitely be no problem." ”

What is the reason why Luo Yan trusts this Yang Qi so much, and he dares to risk his life here. This is not a playhouse, in the barracks, this is second only to the military order. What kind of person is Luo Yan, a five-grade official, who is highly valued by Li Shimin, and his achievements in the future are definitely not low.

But just such a person, using his life to trust another small commander, everyone immediately dispelled their doubts.

"Let's try, it won't take much time anyway." Luo Yan said this sentence as if he was pleading, as if he was approving, and he never opened his mouth again.

Thinking about what Luo Yan said, it was not wrong, anyway, the implementation of these plans was a matter of one or two days, and it was nothing to wait for a day or two, so after looking around, I saw that many generals nodded in agreement, and Luo Yan's proposal was passed.

After returning to his tent for a while, the eldest grandson Wuji came over.

The two sat next to the brazier, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked: "Jinzhi, it turns out that you asked me for Zhao Cihao's resume during the day, just to think about him." ”

Luo Yan said with a smile: "Yes, since the news of the fall of Fengzhou came from him, then first I have to see how he is." It happened for so long, since it can be kept by Li Yi, either Li Yi himself is hindered, or he is now rebellious. But after I carefully checked his resume, I found that most of this person's family members were in Chang'an, and he went to work alone. In this way, the possibility of rebellion is eliminated. So I judged that Li Yi must have come with a lot of soldiers. ”

Subsequently, Luo Yan said lightly: "As for Yang Qi, the commander of the army, you may not know that he used to be His Majesty's personal guard. ”

Seeing that Luo Yan even knew such news, Eldest Sun Wuji exclaimed in surprise and asked, "Wasn't he in Qianniuwei before, how could he be His Majesty's personal guard." ”

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was so surprised, Luo Yan explained: "If Chen Qi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. After he returned from the Shandong battlefield, he joined Qianniuwei. Two years later, he was transferred to Fenzhou, where he has remained until now. It's been so long that many people don't know his details. Because the Qin Wang's personal guards could not directly join Qianniuwei, His Majesty used some means. ”

This is also to say good things to Li Shimin, in fact, where some means were used, Li Shimin directly forged a copy of Yang Qi's resume at that time.

With a long sigh of relief, Luo Yan continued: "When I came, Chen Qi found me. He told me that Yang Qi is absolutely reliable, otherwise, if I die in a foreign land because of this, he will commit suicide to pay for my life. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little unlucky, and scolded with a smile: "You guys are really bad at talking, what kind of death in a foreign land, we will carry the emperor's general trend, and it will be like a bamboo." Besides, you don't even have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, where did you come from to die in a foreign land? "The eldest grandson Wuji thought that Luo Yan was just like him, when he was fighting, he sat firmly in the tent of the Chinese army. With so many troops, if Li Yi is still allowed to rush to the Chinese military tent, then Datang should also die.

"Naturally, I want to see for myself the plan I offered. Chen Qi assured me that there was no problem with Yang Qi, but I also had to reassure the soldiers who entered the city that there was no problem with what I said. ”

Hearing Luo Yan's reason, the eldest grandson Wuji was also helpless. Luo Yan usually looks like a very smart person, why did he become so stupid at this time, and he said nonsense to guarantee those soldiers. The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but dissuade him: "Come in, you better not get involved in this kind of thing, if something happens, it's not good." ”

Thinking about it, Luo Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Eldest Sun Shangshu is right, I'll just sit and watch a good show." ”

Anyway, Wei Chigong would not agree to go to the front army in person, so Luo Yan would not have the opportunity to make a personal move. However, as long as the two people he said are trustworthy, then so many large armies that come, I am afraid that they will be able to be used at that time, but they will be the ones who will block Li Yi's back road after they go out.

Speaking of which, even Yu Chigong has become a spectator, Luo Yan can imagine that when the time comes, his double hammers will not move at all, and he will be robbed of the credit by his subordinates one by one, will Yu Chigong's face be darker.

Seeing Luo Yan's sudden change of attitude, Eldest Sun Wuji was a little curious, so he asked more: "Why did Jinzhi suddenly smile so weirdly, but he thought of some bad idea." Let's hear it. ”

Smiled a little narrowly, Luo Yan didn't hide anything, and said: "You said, if General Wei Chi didn't move at all, this war would be won, would his face turn black with anger." ”

Pointing at Luo Yan helplessly and funny, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "You, you are also a humble gentleman on weekdays, how can you become so unbearable when you meet General Wei Chi." As he spoke, he left Luo Yan's tent with a smile. (To be continued.) )
