Chapter 13: Night Talk
The old man pointed to the stepping stool next to him, "Little brother, sit down." ”
Chen Wenzhou sat down and arched his hand and said, "Old man, don't you know what to do with me?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "I heard that you proposed to conquer this general's ditch?" ”
Chen Wenzhou looked at the old man, he knew that since the old man was asking like this, it meant that he was a person in the Shuofang army, even if he was not, it had a lot to do with it.
Chen Wenzhou said truthfully: "Oh, I had a dream that night, in which Mr. Kong Ming dedicated himself and asked me to convey how General Li Siye attacked Jiangjungou. ”
"Uh," the old man was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Wenzhou to play a trick, "Hahaha, then why do you say that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are in trouble?" This is a great crime that shakes the morale of the military. ”
Chen Wenzhou raised his head and glanced at the old man, who was also looking at him with a bright look in his eyes, and the eyes of the two exchanged eyes.
Chen Wenzhou, who is it?
This fang began to dig birds' nests at the age of five, began to peek at women taking a bath at the age of six, dominated the team of children in their village at the age of seven, and was officially named the king of ugly children at the age of ten!
I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have never seen any strong winds and waves, "Is it a lie, the old gentleman should know better than me." ”
"Presumptuous!" Xue Jingxian on the side shouted, thinking that this kid was really like Li Siye said, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he ate the courage of an ambitious leopard.
The old man's eyebrows raised slightly, waved his hand at Xue Jingxian, stared at Chen Wenzhou, did not speak, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and his domineering side leakage was undoubted.
This old man has been fighting in the north and south for many years, and he has been in a high position for a long time, and he has a deterrent force in his body, and there are really few people who dare to talk to him like this in the huge world.
Chen Wenzhou thought to himself: He is still so angry when he is old.
So he said, "Sir, you won't beat me, will you?" ”
"Hahahaha," the old man's face suddenly loosened, and he laughed, "Okay, good boy! A little guts! ”
After laughing, the old man's face became a little complicated, as if he was sad, as if helpless, and there was some unpredictable meaning.
"You are right, we received a secret report from the imperial court this morning, a few days ago, Your Majesty beheaded General Gao and General Feng for the crime of neglecting war!"
Chen Wenzhou was still somewhat sure of his stargazing skills, so after hearing the news, he was not too surprised, and said lightly: "It's tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall." Old gentleman, the villain dared to ask, why did the emperor kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing? ”
The old man glanced at Chen Wenzhou, but he didn't expect him to be so calm, and replied: "The holy oracle sent by the imperial court said that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing led 150,000 troops and An Lushan's army lost the first battle in the Tiger Prison Pass, retreated to Luoyang, fought again and was defeated, and retreated to Wuguan, after the two wars, there were only more than 30,000 people left in the 150,000 army of the imperial court. His Majesty believed that they had not only suffered defeat, but also deliberately delayed the military aircraft, so he ordered the two to be beheaded for the crime of slacking off the war. ”
Chen Wenzhou said with some righteous indignation: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can there be a truth in the world that is always invincible?" Besides, how many great contributions did the two generals Gao and Feng make to the Tang Dynasty back then, how could the emperor say that he would kill them. ”
The old man waved his hand and said: "Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing have indeed committed a crime, and the 150,000 army was destroyed by An Lushan, which is indeed a little unreasonable." ”
Chen Wenzhou smiled faintly and said, "Old man, the villain doesn't think so. ”
"Oh?" The old man was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this firehead had other ideas, he was a little curious about what constructive views this firehead could express, so he said, "You can talk about it." ”
"The emperor has attached great importance to the frontier (defending the territory and opening up the territory) over the years, so the standing army has remained in the frontier, and the army in the pass is really pitiful. An Lushan has been planning for a long time and came prepared, his intention is naturally to attack the capital division Chang'an in one go, so the elite he leads must be the elite of Hebei, these people have been fighting against Liuzhou Hu in the Youzhou area all the year round, and their combat effectiveness is self-evident," Chen Wenzhou said in a deep voice, and the old man nodded.
"The imperial court organized defense in a hurry, and the people recruited were all people from the vicinity of Gyeonggi, these people were either the sons of gentlemen, or the gangsters of the market, and they had not undergone training and actual combat, where could they be compared with those experienced Hu people, although there were 150,000 people, but they were just a group of rabble, so after encountering An Lushan's Yan army, the rout was expected. There is a way that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even if Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are masters of using soldiers such as Sun and Wu, I am afraid it is only difficult to support alone," Chen Wenzhou said eloquently.
"Go on," said the old man.
"Since the Yan army started in Hebei, it has broken through seven states and nineteen counties, and it has been invincible, in the limelight, and its morale has reached its peak. At this time, it is the right way to hold on to the danger, wear down their sharpness and sharpness, and wait until their food and grass are in a hurry and their morale is declining, and then launch a counterattack. How can you fight against their edge and strength? In my opinion, it must have been the emperor's eagerness to win and forced them to fight, so there were two big defeats! ”
The old man looked at Chen Wenzhou in surprise, he really didn't expect that this ordinary firehead army could still have such insight.
The old man nodded and smiled: "Your words are a bit insightful, and I can't see that the little brother still has some talents." ”
Chen Wenzhou arched his hand, maintaining his usual low-key and seriousness: "They also said the same. ”
The old man laughed, he had only seen such a shameless person in his life.
The old man looked at Chen Wenzhou and said, "I heard Li Siye say that he wanted you to help him, but you didn't agree, can you tell me why?" ”
Do you know this? Could it be that this old man is an underground party engaged in intelligence work?
Chen Wenzhou glanced at the old man and said, "Old man, I like to be free and unfettered, and I have never led troops to fight, I can only talk on paper. ”
The old man was noncommittal, looked at the moonlight, and said, "It's not too early, I should go back too," he paused and said with a serious expression, "Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were beheaded as important military aircraft, you know it, don't leak it to mess with the army's heart." ”
Chen Wenzhou arched his hand, "The old gentleman walks slowly, I won't give it away." ”
The old man stepped on his horse and was about to leave, when he suddenly asked, "I heard that the Shuofang army is about to march to kill the tiger's mouth, in your opinion, how to fight?" ”
Chen Wenzhou was stunned and said casually: "Outflank, front and back!" ”
The old man whipped his horse and roared away with a few guards.
