Chapter 10 Fellow Daoists, please stay
"Although our army has won successive battles, but Yu Wenhua and the soldiers of the First World War suffered heavy casualties, and our army has besieged Luoyang for many days before, Wang Shichong is trapped in the lonely city, vowing not to be long, and must seek a quick battle. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Our army should be a deep ditch and a high base, occupy a dangerous point, hold on to the enemy, and when the enemy army runs out of food and retreat, lead the army to pursue, this is the way to win. Wei Zheng's words were really sonorous and loud.
"Okay, the mystery is a brilliant plan." After the book case, Li Mi was stunned, "Yesterday, I wanted to be ordered to enter the Eastern Capital Auxiliary Government, halfway through, I was shocked to hear that there was a big change in Luoyang City, Wang Shichong led the army into the city, and the internal history ordered Yuan Wendu and other cadres of Wenchen and military generals to be killed by Wang Shichong, and now all the big and small matters in the city are under the influence of Wang Shichong, and the emperor has become a puppet in his hands. Wang Shichong is a person, unwilling to live under the people for a long time, and it is impossible to enter Luoyang without moving. At that time, General Pei told me that our army only needed to besiege Luoyang and cut off its grain and grass, and then it could win without a fight. Xuan Cheng's strategy is quite consistent with General Pei's opinion, and it is actually the best policy. ”
Wang Mai listened beside him, and then he understood that Wang Shichong had originally relied on a mutiny to ascend to the throne. Although Wei Zheng's suggestion to Li Miti was not a trick, it just hit the nail on the head of Wang Shichong's army's lack of food.
Wei Zheng saw that Li Mi accepted his plan, and his heart was determined, so he wanted to give up. I didn't want Li Mi to wave his hand and leave him: "Xuancheng is slow, I just happened to introduce a colleague to you today." A few days ago, General Qin went to Licheng to escort military supplies, and happened to meet this Mr. Wang next to you. ”
When Wang Mai heard this, he bowed his hand to Li Mi and Wei Zheng respectively.
"Mr. Wang doesn't need to be polite, I heard what General Qin said, Mr. Wang's arithmetic attainments are extremely high, and he is really a great talent needed by our army. As soon as Li Mi opened his mouth, he gave Wang Mai an official. This record is the military king Mai has heard of it, in fact, he is the staff of the main general, and the power can be big or small, it all depends on whether the people can listen to the suggestions you make; Sometimes I also do some chores such as drafting copywriting and taking notes. The responsibility is just one sentence, it all depends on what tasks the leader assigns to you.
"Thank you Duke Wei for your promotion," Wang Mai bowed down again, "It's just that I don't know anything about the subset of scripture and history, and I don't know much about the tactics of the soldiers, so it's really difficult to take on a big responsibility." It's just that I have some dabbling in arithmetic, and now my grandfather and grandmother are old, although I am not their flesh and blood, but the kindness of the second elder is like a reinvention for me. I hope that Duke Wei can take pity on my filial piety and let me go home to serve the second elder before I come out to serve you. Wang Mai originally planned to be an official for a few months first, and then make this request after getting acquainted with Li Mi, but he didn't expect to learn from the conversation between Wei Zheng and Li Mi just now that a big war seemed to be imminent. If he remembered correctly, Li Mi would have lost this battle very badly, and he went directly from the most powerful anti-king alliance leader to a lost dog. In the midst of the chaos, what can a person who can't ride a horse well use to save his life? Therefore, he let it go out and directly refused Li Mi's reward, although this made everyone lose face, but no face is better than no life.
The sound in the room was so quiet that people could hear their own wheezing, and Wang Mai's refusal greatly surprised the three people present, and three surprised eyes fell on him at the same time. Qin Qiong was because of Wang Mai's sudden change of hexagram, and Wei Zheng was shocked that this person regarded fame and fortune like dung, after all, in his heart, the current Li Mi was the most likely person to finally clean up the chaos in the world. On the contrary, Li Mi was the first to calm down, he has experienced many setbacks in his life, and when he was in trouble in his early years, he was rejected countless times, but now he is in power, and few people have refused his request in the past two years, but he didn't expect this cloth cloth field in front of him to say no to him.
Li Mi thought for a moment: "Since Mr. Wang is unwilling to serve in front of the army, then I will no longer be reluctant. It's just that Mr. Wang has just heard the secret news of our army, and he will inevitably make trouble, and ask Mr. Wang to temporarily accept the post of recording and participating in the military, once our army takes Luoyang, I will transfer you to serve in Jeju Mansion in order to serve your parents. What does the gentleman think? ”
Wang Mai's heart was bitter, Li Mi said it very clearly, he was afraid that he was a spy, so he temporarily detained himself in the barracks, and then released himself after taking Luoyang City in a few months. But this is completely contrary to his original intention, if you can take Luoyang, why do you have to resign? But looking at Li Mi's eyes looking at him now, if he doesn't agree, he will be accused of being a spy, and even Qin Qiong can't save himself. "Thank you Gong Wei." Thinking of this, Wang Mai could only take the errand head-on.
"Brother Mai, why did you suddenly refuse Duke Wei's reward just now?" As soon as he came out of Li Mi, Qin Qiong couldn't wait to ask Wang Mai why.
Wang Mai glanced up at Wei Zheng who was not far away, and said in a low voice, "What does Brother Shubao think of this victory?" ”
"This battle?" Qin Qiong looked at Wang Mai suspiciously, "Do you think our army will be defeated?" ”
Of course, Wang Mai couldn't say "yes", so he had to pretend to be vague and said: "No matter from the right time, place, or people, our army seems to have won the battle. It's just a little uneasy in my heart, General Qin is familiar with the art of war, and he must be familiar with ancient and modern war examples. But if you think about it, since ancient times, it seems that in all wars, the side that thinks it will win will eventually lose. For example, in the Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian used a million troops, boasting that he could throw a whip to cut off the stream, but he was defeated in a battle, and there were rumors of jokes. There is also a recent example, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang used a million troops to conquer Goguryeo, and did not win once. Fu Jian and Yang Guang are both monarchs with great military achievements, they can't be said to be unfamiliar with military affairs, but why did they both fail? Since ancient times, the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will win, and the whole army of Wagang believes that this battle will be won, which is the proud soldiers; And Wang Shichong has been defeated repeatedly, and now he is besieged under the city of Luoyang, which is a mourning soldier. What does Uncle Bao think? Of course, this is only a little bit of my personal shallow insight, and it is not enough for outsiders. ”
Qin Qiong shook his head: "No matter from any military point of view, I can't accept your opinion. ”
"Having said it, this is just a little shallow insight, and I really want to go back to my hometown to serve the second elder. Brother Bao's good intentions are appreciated in my heart. Wang Mai said goodbye to Qin Qiong and quickly caught up with Wei Zheng in front.
Qin Qiong sighed, this Wang Mai always has some different ideas from others, no matter what, it seems that it is difficult for a strong man to force him into the gang.
"Brother Xuancheng, Brother Xuancheng, wait for me......" Wang Mai hurried and hurried, and finally caught up with Wei Zheng in front, I heard that Wei Zheng had been a Taoist priest in his early years, so he almost said Taoist friends please stay. This guy is not young anymore, he still has a fiery temperament, and he walks vigorously.
Wei Zheng stopped when he heard this: "I don't know what Mr. Wang has to say?" ”
"When I first arrived, I wasn't very familiar with the things in the house, so I bothered Brother Xuancheng to show me the way." Wang Maitian said with a face.
Wei Zheng felt that the guy in front of him didn't know anything about etiquette, and called out "Brother Xuancheng" one by one, am I very familiar with you? However, he was a man of letters, and he felt that it was not a virtue to reject others, so he showed him the way.
"I don't know what Brother Xuancheng's official position is now?" After listening to Wei Zheng's guidance, Wang Mai asked curiously.
"Literature Joins the Army." Wei Zheng replied reluctantly, it was not that he felt that his official position was too small, but that he was ashamed to be in the company of the guy in front of him.
"It turns out that we are colleagues, disrespectful and disrespectful." Wang Mai naturally didn't know what Wei Zheng was thinking, so he still shamelessly leaned up, "Then the two of us are on the same road, Brother Xuancheng Guigeng?" Married? Alas, alas...... Brother Xuancheng, you go slowly......"
"By the way, my name is Wang Mai, Brother Xuancheng don't call me Mr. Wang, it's too outward, just call me Mai." Along the way, Wei Zheng was almost killed by the crow next to him, and all kinds of idiotic questions arose in this family, and he even asked about his own family affairs. Wei Zheng felt that what he said in front of Wei Gong just now really didn't mean to be humble at all, this person really didn't have any talent, and he didn't even understand basic etiquette.
"Zheng Changshi is here." Wei Zheng came to a side room and pointed out: "I won't accompany you in if there are some official things below, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he walked away without looking back, he was really scared by this person.
"Hey, Brother Xuancheng......" Wang Mai was about to thank him, but found that Wei Zheng had run away, "It's a pity, I haven't asked him how he and his wife met." Wang Mai shook his head.
Lord Changshi is an old man who is over half a hundred years old, and he called one of his subordinates: "You go and arrange everything for the king to join the army, don't be rash." ”
The little official said "yes", Wang Mai thanked him for a long time, and followed the little official out of the house.
The little official was also very neat, and it didn't take much effort to arrange food and lodging for Wang Mai, and after the little official learned that Wang Mai had no long things, he took him to the account office in advance to withdraw the usual copper coins for daily use. Kim Yong Cheng was originally not big, and now the leadership of the Wagang Army is here, so Wang Mai only has one tile house to live in, but fortunately, it is the main house, and the rooms next to it are also occupied by some officials of the same level.
"Wang joined the army, and now the house in the house is tight, so the official business is shared by two people. Now only this room is still free, but please forgive me a reminder, the adult inside is very temperamental, and several colleagues have been squeezed away by his words, so now his room is still the only one, and when there is a vacant room, I will immediately arrange a replacement for you, please understand. After taking care of everything, the little official took Wang Mai to a room and said.
"Thank you very much." The other party's grumpy Wang Mai is nothing, anyway, he has made up his mind to live here, and no one can be offended.
"In Xia Zhang Zhan, Wang joins the army and can directly come to me if he has anything to do in the future, and he will leave." Zhang Zhan touched the two hundred big money in his arms and left satisfied. As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see little ghosts, this matter is the same whether it is placed in ancient times or in later generations, Wang Mai has already realized this truth when he ran various signatures on the construction site before.
Wang Mai pushed open the door, only to find an unexpected person sitting in the room.
