Chapter 148: Martial Arts (2)
In the city of Yangzhou, it is the time of the year.
It was already dark, and Meng Tian took his relatives and slowly came to the door of a mansion.
Yangzhou is a military town, and there are not many civilian buildings. All but a few lived in the barracks. This is true even for Meng Tian. Being able to live in a private house naturally shows that the owner of this house has an unusual identity and status.
Meng Tian sighed softly and asked people to step forward and pat on the door.
"Who?"
A voice with a thick accent came from within, and a crack opened in the door, and a head poked out of it.
"Ah, General!"
Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "Is General Wang Li here?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, but Meng Tian had already understood the reason. Shaking his head slightly, he pushed open the door and walked straight into the courtyard. This is the residence of General Pi Wang Li, and the person who opened the door is Wang Li's family. He wanted to stop it, but looking at Meng Tian's personal entourage, he finally gave up this thought. In fact, deep down, didn't he hope that Meng Tian could persuade Wang Li and cheer up as soon as possible?
Wang Li was drinking in the hall, and he was already a little drunk.
From the day he accepted the appointment, he was holding back a breath of anger in his heart. In terms of seniority in the army, Wang Li was earlier than Meng Tian.
In the battle to unify the Six Kingdoms, he followed his grandfather Wang Jian and took the lead in breaking through the camp of the Chu army.
At that time, Meng Tian was only the Xianyang Order; In the battle of Poqi, it was he who attacked with his father Wang Ben and moved to the land of Qilu.
In terms of meritorious service, Wang Li thinks that he is higher than Meng Tian.
But Meng Tian became an internal history, and he assisted his father and became a general in Jiaodong. A few years. Seeing Tu Sui's failure, Wang Li thought that he would preside over the battle in the south, but he didn't want his father Wang Ben to die of illness at this time, so he couldn't do it.
This time in the battle of Northern Xinjiang, Wang Li saw it as particularly important.
After deciding to start a war against the Xiongnu, he signed thirteen copies in a row. State his views on the battle of the Northern Frontier in order to impress the Taiwei Mansion.
Outcome......
The Taiwei Mansion passed, but His Majesty stuck a pole. Let Meng Tian command the battle. And he's still a general!
If this kind of thing is for anyone. I don't feel comfortable in my heart. What's more, Wang Li thought that he was no worse than Meng Tian, but he lost to Meng Tian.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my heart was in the diaphragm.
Although he was appointed as a general, he trained in Yongzheng Won. But he didn't have the heart to rectify those sons, and stayed in Yangzhou all day long, drunk and dreaming of death. Meng Tian. It's as if they've forgotten his existence and let him take it with them here. Ignore it at all.
Unexpectedly, Meng Tian actually came today......
"It turned out that the general came to the door, I don't know what advice?"
Meng Tian smelled the smell of wine in the room, frowned, sat down opposite Wang Li silently, and then stretched out his hand and handed over a volume of official documents in person. Meng Tian put the official document on the dining table and pushed it down and stepped inside. He said in a deep voice: "Pinghou sent the official document today. ”
"What does it have to do with me?"
Wang Li stared drunkenly. Looking at Meng Tian, he was not afraid at all.
"I'm just a general. You are a general, you can make your own decisions, why do you have to ask me again? ”
"You'll see it."
Wang Li rolled his eyes, picked up the book and unfolded it, and after reading it for a while, he was still on the dining table, "You selected the person, what do I think of?" Yongzhengyuan's side, with Pinghou taking care of it, no more than me, no less than me, no less, anyway, it will be fine
"Big brother, I know that you don't live in your heart!"
"I am not exempt from living ...... Haha, my heart is very alive.
Meng Tian sighed, "You and I grew up together, joined the Lantian camp together, and knighted together...... In terms of seniority, I need to call you Big Brother. To tell the truth, your Majesty has seen all the battles in Northern Xinjiang this time, but Your Majesty thinks that the Hun war must not be delayed, and it must be a success. Your plan is good, but it doesn't meet Your Majesty's requirements, do you understand? ”
"How I don't understand!"
Wang Li suddenly exploded, "How easy is it to succeed in a war?" The Huns fought the land, don't you know? Those Hu barbarians were born on horses, grew up on horses, galloped like the wind, and their whereabouts were erratic. Only by recommending layer by layer, with the method of building the city, constantly compress the activity space of the old guy in the south of the big river, and then wait for the opportunity to fight. This is the case, don't you know? Why don't you explain it to me? ”
Meng Tian also said angrily: "How do I not know that south of the big river, a flat river, thousands of miles of fertile land, is suitable for the Huns' tactics?" But the question is, if you build a city, how many years will it take you to find the opportunity for a decisive battle? How many cities do you need to build, how many soldiers and horses do you need to station, and how much time does it take? Have you counted?
I admit that your strategy is very sound, but have you ever thought that if you play according to your style, the Huns have not finished fighting, and my Great Qin can no longer hold on?
Brother Li, don't you still understand what Your Majesty means?
What Your Majesty needs is a battle decision, 300,000 troops, even if half of them are lost, as long as they can defeat the Huns, Your Majesty will not hesitate.
Time, Your Majesty doesn't care about anything else, only time. That's why I'm going to preside over this battle, do you think I'm willing? Overseeing this battle also means that I have to bear at least 100,000 lives. Leaving the eldest brother, I know that you are depressed, but this is Your Majesty's decision. ”
Dead Qin, Hu!
When the first emperor appointed Meng Tian as the commander, he once took his hand and said: "The Xiongnu will not be destroyed for a day, and it will be difficult for me to sleep and eat." Meng Tian, my thoughts, you should understand. I want to get a good night's sleep, but whether I can sleep or not depends on your means, understand? ”
These words were only said by the First Emperor when he was a cronie like Meng Tian. Wang Li looked at Meng Tian in a daze, and after a long time, he suddenly reached out and swept the wine and food on the dining table on the ground, and picked up the book and flipped through it.
"I plan to attack in three ways to attract the main force of Touman to the decisive battle.
Now, I am bluffing in the Northland and Shangjun, intending to create a false impression and force Touman to move closer to the clouds, and then fight Touman in the False Yin Mountain. Three ways of soldiers and horses, two virtual and one real. The soldiers of the northern counties are just an illusion, and the main force of the decisive battle is in the clouds. ”
Wang Li didn't seem to hear it, but he sighed.
"The person chosen by the general is also a wonderful person, and he actually ...... Zhaoping said that fifteen days later, he would arrange a duel between Liu Kan and Meng Ji.
That's a good idea......
Although Liu Kan's department has three hundred soldiers guarding the land of Zhuang County to support his face, if he wants to defeat the virtuous nephew Huqu, I am afraid it is unlikely. ”
Meng Tian sneered, "That son of a scumbag is doing less." If Pinghou hadn't arrived in time, this guy would have committed the great crime of storming friendly land, and I will not spare him. In the past two years, this son of evil has been too smooth, and he thought that if he had that tiger song, he would be invincible in the world.
In my opinion, he may not be able to win against Liu Kan this time.
I'm optimistic about Liu Kan, and I can teach those two sons a good lesson. ”
Wang Li couldn't help but smile: "It's funny for you to be an old man." Everyone else wants their children to be angry, but you want them to fail? ”
"General, I'll make a bet with you, do you dare to respond to Meng Tian's eyes narrowed, and said calmly: "It's okay to leave the eldest brother." What to bet on? ”
Wang Li said: "Let's make a bet with this Liu Kan's martial arts." If the nephew wins, I will oversee the battle of the Yunzhong army. If my nephew loses, I will immediately be forever and play with all my might, at your disposal. I wonder if the general would dare to bet with me? ”
Meng Tian couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
"Brother Li, are you serious?"
"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase."
Meng Tian stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "In that case, I made a bet with you...... Ten days later, we went to Yongzheng Yuan to supervise the battle and practice martial arts. ”
"General, you're doomed!"
Wang Li couldn't help laughing, "I don't know why you value that Liu Kan, maybe he is indeed capable." But Huaihan is not as good as Northern Xinjiang. The thieves in Surabaya are even worse than my Great Qin Iron Horse. The sick nephew was born in the Lantian battalion, and since the unification of the army, he has made outstanding achievements, how can a small warehouse order be compared...... Hehe, General, if you lose, don't regret it. ”
"You don't have to regret leaving your eldest brother!"
Meng Tian looked at Wang Li and couldn't help but laugh.
The two talked for a while, first determined the candidate for the commander of the Beidi County, and then Meng Tian got up to leave.
Out of Wang Li's residence, Meng Tian let out a sigh of relief.
The relatives beside him couldn't help but ask softly: "General, this bet between you and General Wang Li is really a bit of a loss." Gongzi and Gongzi Ke have real talent and real learning, so even if Liu Kan has the ability, what he governs is just the land of the projectile in the building, how can he be an opponent?
What do you do if you lose? ”
Meng Tian smiled, shook his head and said, "I won't lose...... Hehe, a person who can be promoted to seven lords in a row in six years, how can he be good at his generation?
It is true that he has never entered the Lantian camp, nor has he experienced any military affairs.
But I have a gut feeling that Jiheke can't be Liu Junhou's opponent. Let them learn some lessons, so that they may know that there is a heaven outside of this day.
Besides, even if Liu Kan loses, it's nothing. What I care about is the course of the war against the Huns. As for who will preside over the final blow, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I have to defeat the head man...... They must not be given the opportunity to flourish. ”
After Meng Tian finished speaking, he let out another breath.
"Let's go, let's go back to the military tent, and after 15 days, the victory or defeat will naturally be decided."
