Chapter 30: Elbows and Armpits and Walls (4)
Seeing Han Gang, Wang Wenliang was obviously a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, I don't know if Lu Dao should come up to greet Han Gang.
But Han Gang stood up, not only for Wang Wenliang, but also for the one who came in after Wang Wenliang.
"It turned out to be the position of the king, and Han Gang was polite." Han Gang first greeted Wang Wenliang, and then smiled at Chong Jianzhong behind him: "Uncle Yi, it's been a long time!" ”
Chong Jianzhong arrived in Yanzhou with Wang Wenliang and came to see Han Jiang. When he saw Han Gang, he was immediately overjoyed, and after Wang Wenliang and Han Gang greeted him, he hurriedly stepped forward: "I guessed that it should be you Yukun." He took Han Gang's hand and said with a smile: "I went to the post house first after entering the city, and I heard that a Han official was coming, but I rushed to the Shuai Mansion and couldn't ask in detail, but I thought it should be you...... Uncle and foolish brother are looking forward to it day and night in Suide, looking forward to Yukun, you have been waiting for many days, why did you arrive in Yanzhou today? ”
"But after the little brother left the capital, he hurried and hurried, and he didn't dare to delay the trip for a moment."
Han Gang talked and laughed with Chong Jianzhong, and also invited Wang Wenliang to sit down together, waiting for the summons inside.
Han Gang didn't mention the matter of Wu Kui, who was imprisoned, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he would not stand up for a person who met in Pingshui. After saying a few words to Wang Wenliang in a social manner, he asked Chong Jianzhong: "This time, the shuai will recover Luo Wu for half a day, and he will shock Yongqin." On the way to Yanzhou, the younger brother was seeing Lubu flying by, and the officials and people of all prefectures and counties all praised the merits of the handsome. However, although Luo Wu got it, the western thief must want to regain it, and Uncle Yi is the counselor of military affairs under the tent of the commander, how can he have spare time to come to Yanzhou? ”
Listening to Han Gang's question, Chong Jianzhong suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Brother Fool came with Wang Gezhi to escort the captured first-level ordnance!" After the uncle led the army to capture Luo Wu, of course the western thief refused to give up. On the same day, the Yinzhou guard general of the western thief's capital Romanwei led the army of 20,000 people, intending to rescue Luo Wu, but in Mahuchuan was broken by Gao Duzhi, and a few days later, Du Romanwei gathered troops three times to attack, and its troops were more than one time, but they were all defeated by me, and the banners and drums were lost innumerable, and the most Lu never dared to come again. In these battles, a total of more than 1,200 levels were beheaded. And the tribes near Luo Wu have also joined one after another, and there are three tribes with a total of more than 1,400 people! ”
"More than 1,200 levels?!" The surprise on Han Gang's face was difficult to hide. The number of defeated enemies can be blown nonsense, but the number of decapitations is troublesome, and even if it is fake, it is easy to be seen through. If this figure is true, the beheading skill on Hengshan's side will surpass Hehuang and become the first achievement since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne.
"yes!" Chong Jianzhong smiled proudly, "After working hard for a long time, I can finally look at the back of the river Huang." ”
"What are you talking about?" Han Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Even if you don't count the number of beheadings, Tubo can't be compared with the party, not to mention that the beheadings are already above Hehuang." It's out of reach......"
Han Gang thought that he was inferior, and his interest in building was three points higher. got closer, and whispered to Han Gang: "Uncle You Jing sent another letter the day before yesterday, saying that he met you Yukun in Jingzhao Mansion that day, and he didn't seem to think much of Luo Wu's strategy. ”
Han Gang didn't expect You Shixiong to relay what he said in private to Chong Jianzhong, and secretly scolded Uncle You Jing for talking too much, but he was a little embarrassed. Busy explained: "That's because the younger brother is worried that Luo Wu is too far away from Suide, and the grain and military resources are difficult to support. ”
Chong Jianzhong said with a smile: "Yukun is too worried. Uncle Jia had already detected in advance that all the grain and straw in Hengshan were gathered in Luowu, so when he sent out the army, he only stayed for three days' rations. And when Luo Wu was defeated, he would feed on the Xia people's grain. Counting and eating, the general will ride 20,000 steps, and 10,000 people, a total of two buckets and two liters of official rice, six bunches of grass! Chong Jianzhong stretched his hands, gestured a few numbers with his fingers, and continued smugly, "Uncle Han's Hexi Longju Qingdian gifted by Han Xianggong is very tricky, but he refuses to eat the grain and grass of the party people. Otherwise, there would not be the consumption of these two buckets of two liters of rice and six bunches of grass. ”
Regardless of whether the amount of grain and grass consumed is correct, the great harvest of the seeds in the city of Luowu must be certain—no general dares to boast about himself on the matter of grain and grass, but only shouts that there is not enough to eat.
In other words, it turns out that Han Gang's worries are unfounded.
Han Gang has always had a negative attitude towards the Hengshan Raiders hosted by Han Jiang, but now that Chong Jianzhong refuted him in person, he didn't feel unhappy in his heart.
It is reasonable to capture Luowu, with the careful preparation of Han Jiang and Chong Ge for more than half a year, if they can't do it, it will be a joke, and the face of the Western Army will be lost. But it's not so easy to defend Luo Wu. How long can the lonely city hold in the offensive of the Tanguts? - It's not just about food and grass.
From the capture of Luo Wu on the second day of the Lunar New Year, eight days have passed now, and the good news has been transmitted to Beijing, and Chong Jianzhong has also taken the spoils to Yanzhou, and on the Western Xia side, Xingqing Mansion should have also received the news. If the Liang brothers and sisters still have a little strategic vision, they will definitely gather a large army immediately. Even if Huanqing, Jingyuan, and Qin Feng would send troops to contain them, it would be impossible to stop the fear of the Dangxiang people about the loss of Hengshan - with the speed at which the Dangxiang people recruited the clan's combat power, as well as the distance between Xingqing Mansion and Yinxia, Han Gang estimated that it would take about a month to prepare.
Whether or not we can build the defense system of Luowu City before they arrive—at least build a rough one—is not as simple as opening your mouth. The core city of the front line, its basic scale, is a thousand-step city that can accommodate at least 10,000 troops in wartime and 3,000 troops on weekdays. Gangu, Guwei, Qingjian, Suide, Dashun, all of them.
That is to say, Luo Wu will repair a city with a circumference of a thousand steps at least within a month. In addition, the Luowu defense line is not only a city of Luowu, but also the attached forts around it and the military fortress guarding the logistics line, all of which dare to be built within a month. Moreover, there are also defensive materials in the city, which must also arrive at Luo Wu at the same time.
But now it's winter, a cold winter, a frozen winter. How long can the people survive the cold wind in the river valley and build the city from the ground that is as cold as stone? This is not an easy question to answer.
However, in Han Jiang's foyer, Han Gang felt that it was better to say less. echoed and mentioned: "As long as you can keep Luo Wu and get Hengshan, then the western matter will be decided." ”
"My emperor Song is the most generous to the Tibetan people, while the western thief is extremely mean. Once the Hengshan Fan Department sees that the western thief is difficult to stop our emperor Song Bingfeng, they will come to vote at that time! …… Hengshan is attached, and the west thief is just around the corner! ”
From this sentence in the construction of the species, we can know the intention of Han Jiang to treat Wang Wenliang well.
Wang Wenliang's obedience and ease of use are just a stubble, and the most important thing is that Han Jiang has a lot of money. The Hengshan and Tibetan tribes are all watching, watching how the Great Song Dynasty treats the Tibetan people. When they saw Wang Wenliang, a domestic slave under the former minister of Western Xia, he actually got mixed up in the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, there will be the idea of taking refuge in Da Song and getting better treatment.
However, it may be because Han Jiang wants to turn Wang Wenliang, a Tibetan person, into a horse bone, and his popularity in Shaanxi is very bad. Otherwise, when Chong Jianzhong was talking to himself, he would not say a word without Wang Wenliang.
Wu Kui is a case, and it is another case in the construction of a seed, judging from Wang Wenliang's popularity, Han Jiang is not the type who can use people. Looking at Wang Wenliang, whose face was full of impatience, Han Gang had three points of expectation, if the drama of the daughter city bone was not played well, it would become a daughter to buy a pile of stinky shit, and the most rotten in his hands would be fragrant.
As a Xuanfu envoy who commanded the military of Shaanxi and Hedong as the prime minister, there were many officials who came to see Han Jiang. However, Wang Wenliang and Chong Jianzhong were obviously very valued by Han Jiang, and Han Gang only talked to them for a short time, and the attendant who came out of the inner room called the two in.
Chong Jianzhong said no to Han Gang, and walked in with Wang Wenliang.
The two of them came later, but they were able to get Han Jiang's summons first, Han Gang had no objections, this is a matter of course, they are the heroes who came back with the loot!
After a while, Chong Jianzhong and Wang Wenliang came out. Wang Wenliang left first, and Chong Jianzhong chatted with Han Gang for a few more words, and also said that he was going to visit a few friends. After letting Han Gang see Han Jiang, he went back to the post house and waited first, and the two of them had a good drink in the evening.
Han Gang agreed, and continued to wait in the foyer of the Shuai Mansion. As time passed, he gradually felt that something was wrong. It was not only Wang Wenliang and Chong Jianzhong who came to see Han Jiang who came first, but the officials who came to see Han Jiang were called in one after another for questioning, but no one came to pass him on Han Gang. The officials in the foyer kept changing, and Han Gang was always sitting.
In the evening, a small official came out of it, saying that it was getting late, and that he was tired and tired, and ordered the officials in the hall to come back tomorrow.
Walking out of the gate of the Shuai Mansion in the strange eyes of the doorman, Han Gang was secretly angry in his heart, which was obviously Han Jiang deliberately neglecting him.
When he went to the capital, although he waited in the foyer of Wang Anshi's mansion for nearly ten days, at that time, Wang Anshi was forcing the Son of Heaven to continue to change the law under the guise of resigning, and he didn't see outsiders at all. And the next time he went to Beijing, Wang Anshi was busy sending people to invite him. Since he Han Gang became an official, how could he have been treated so slowly? Even in front of the Son of Heaven, he Han Gang was also highly valued, but because of various obstacles, he was unable to ascend to the temple.
I just don't know what the reason for Han Jiang's neglect is, Han Gang can't figure it out. Could it be that his words in Wang Anshi's mansion reached Han Jiang's ears? But it's not like it's deliberately hanging, he came to Yanzhou to do things with two letters, if you want to get along with him Han Gang, you have to let him do things first, and it's not easy to find fault with it......
