Chapter 90: The Kindness of a Woman
Just when Feng Wuxue looked up at Guanzhong and made up his mind to use this life to buy time for the Qin State, Wei Wuji faced Chen Ping's advice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Ping said: "In today's battle, our army's losses are not small, and the number of Puyang veterans is even more, Puyang veterans are the foundation of the army, if the loss is too much, it will hurt the foundation of the king." In today's battle, although Feng Wuxuan returned from a big defeat, he will definitely not be able to defend it in the future, but the county seat is high and deep, if he uses today's method to attack the city, but he doesn't know how many soldiers died under the city, can the king afford to lose? ”
As soon as Chen Ping said this, Wei Wuji couldn't help but look worried. Wei Wuji couldn't bear it. He has seen modern fathers and sons turn against each other, brothers turn against each other, and he will not unconditionally trust anyone's loyalty. What he can do is not to give his subordinates a chance to betray, the so-called not to give his subordinates a chance to betray, does not refer to monitoring at all levels, sending people to divide power, but to maintain his own strength, even if any one betrays him, he can be even.
Therefore, the casualties of Wei Wuji's headquarters are too large, not only a matter of troops, but also a matter of internal power balance in Wei Wuji's view.
This question is also the reason why Wei Wuji is worried day and night, whether it is in Baima or Huaixian, when attacking the city, he is restrained, Wei Wuji asked: "I don't know what Mr. taught me?" ”
Chen Ping smiled slightly, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you know how the Chu army attacked the city?" Without waiting for Wei Wuji to answer, he asked and answered himself: "The Chu army attacked the city, searched the countryside in Guangzhou, gathered the people dozens of miles outside the city under the city, forced them with strong bows and crossbows, and made them attack the city, the people inside and outside the city have each other's in-laws, or the father is outside, and the son is inside, or the wife is outside, and the husband is inside, if the people rush to the city, once there is something that is not properly cleaned up, someone will inevitably open the city gate, and the Chu army will choose the elite again, and attack it with a drum, and the city will be broken." Or move to the cemetery outside the city, send out the tombs of the ancestors in the city, and the city will definitely go out of the city and fight, then it can be broken. or ---"
Before Chen Ping finished speaking, Wei Wuji was already furious: "Acting like this, what is the difference between being like a beast? ”
Chen Ping was not affected by Wei Wuji's anger in the slightest, and said, "Birds and beasts can live. ”
Wei Wuji was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, now that he thinks about it, Wei Wuji really wants to thank Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong didn't use such a method, otherwise when Wei Wuji guarded Puyang, he really didn't know what to do.
However, this is also related to Yang Xiong's psychology, Yang Xiong has a thought in his heart, what he thinks in his heart is that he is still counterinsurgent, not fighting with the enemy, so his subordinates have left their hands. It is also Yang Xiong who is confident that he can defeat Wei Wuji without these next means.
Chen Ping said: "Your Majesty, do you want to be Song Xianggong? Song Xianggong, don't hit Bandu, don't capture Ermao, Zhenggu Liye, laugh for the world, why not? Song was defeated and Chu won. Today, the king will break the spirit of the siege of the city, and the root of the injury will be fundamental, so he will bring about his defeat, and he does not know who will be the laugher of the world in the future? ”
Wei Wuji's hand was held tightly, as a modern person with a basic moral concept, Wei Wuji couldn't do such a thing with no lower limit, but Wei Wuji had a voice in his heart telling him that what Chen Ping said was right.
Yes, this is the most effective method of siege, although brutal, since ancient times, nomads have used such siege methods to attack cities. Whether it is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Soft, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian, or Houjin is a virtue, but you have to admit that he is effective.
But Wei Wuji still can't pass his own level in his heart.
After a period of silence, Chen Ping suddenly stood up and said, "Retire below." ”
Wei Wuji was shocked in his heart, and asked, "Where is Mr. going?" ”
Chen Ping said: "The kindness of the gentleman's wife is not enough to share major affairs, so I beg to go." ”
How could Wei Wuji let Chen Ping go, and immediately said: "Although Mr.'s plan is good, I want to use Hanoi and Dong County as the base place, and I am afraid that the people will not be attached to such a hurtful thing." ”
Chen Ping said: "What's so difficult about this, please ask the king to recruit the people of Hanoi and take the township as the fifth thing." Distribute the blades, each group of new troops, to the headquarters to supervise the formation to make it siege, and the white horse siege equipment will arrive, Huai County also has no reinforcements, break it must also, break Huai County to Huai County's wealth. Reward the soldiers of Hanoi and compensate for the dead and wounded. and the people shall be pleased. ”
The people's expectations are actually very low, so low that they are not afraid of death at all, and the only thing they want is that their death is not worthless. But sometimes this little request is an extravagant expectation.
Wei Wuji knew that it was easy to say that he would reward the people with the wealth of Huai County, but it was a cruel killing inside.
Wei Wuji hesitated for a while, and then said, "We are about to attack the city now, can we gather people in the next few days?" ”
Chen Ping smiled lightly and said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the system of the Qin State is the same as that of Shiwu in the township. At the beginning of the most intense period of Changping, the prince of Qin personally went to Hanoi and sent all the men over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty to help Hanoi fight in Changping within a few days. And Huai County is empty, if you can gather tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that there is no need to attack the city, and this Huai County will go down without a fight. ”
Wei Wuji suddenly thought of something and asked, "In this case, why didn't Feng Wuji mobilize the people of Hanoi as soldiers?" As soon as the words came out, Wei Wuji himself knew the answer. It's that the world has been suffering for a long time.
If there is a ban today, the people of Kwantung are extremely suspicious of the Qin State, and I am afraid that Feng Wuxuan's order will no longer leave the county seat and lose control over the grassroots township.
As soon as the Wei army arrived, they inherited the most complete grassroots of the Qin State. Even if the system in the township of Qin State could not exert its full strength because of the war, even so, it was still possible to recruit tens of thousands of strong men east of Huai County.
Wei Wuji laughed at himself: "Fortunately, the Qin State did not know that he had lost his love to the people, which made the people's hearts ruined. Otherwise, attacking Hanoi with a crowd of 10,000 people would be looking for death. But I'm not afraid of Mr. jokes, now that half of the military rations are provided by Dongjun, and most of them are provided by the treasury of Chaoge Xiuwu counties, I haven't thought about expanding the army by vow, but I can't feed them at all. ”
In fact, Wei Wuji had no choice but to let go of Hanoi and coerce the people, and now Wei Wuji has as many troops as he wants. But Wei Wuji did not do this, and in Hanoi, according to the policy of Puyang, he abolished the harsh government and made three chapters of the law. Yu Min almost did not commit any crimes in the last autumn.
There was an idea to support Wei Wuji to do this, because Wei Wuji cured the regular army plot in his heart. He was bent on building the Guards into a disciplined army that would not offend the people.
It's just that this has greatly reduced Wei Wuji's income, so at this moment, Wei Wuji can only gather more than 10,000 elite soldiers. It's not that no one joins the army, it's that there is no money to raise soldiers.
Chen Ping said with a smile: "After the war, thorns will be born." Even if you don't worry about today's money, you must also worry about the money and food in the future. It's been a few months since you started your army, and it's September in a few days, but this year's harvest is definitely not good. If you want to achieve great things, you must have savings for money and food. ”
Wei Wuji said: "Sir, but do you want me to scrape the people? But Qin has been deeply restrained, and he has already been overwhelmed, even if I am ruthless, I can't collect anything. ”
Chen Ping smiled: "No, no, no. There is a place that bears the grain of the world, there are so many grains and grasses, it is innumerable, and Huai County is not far away, and the boat can be reached in one day and one night. Does the king care? ”
Needless to say than Chen Ping, Wei Wuji had already guessed what Chen Ping was talking about, Ao Cang.
Except for Ao Cang, how can any place be called the food of the world. Only Ao Cang.
Wei Wuji leaned forward slightly and said, "Would you like to hear about it?" ”
Chen Ping said: "The ships from the White Horse are already coming, because it will take a little time to go upstream. However, a day and night can be decided to come to Aocang, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water, so it is inevitable that the water of the surging river will be used as a natural barrier. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were preparing to besiege Xingyang, so the defense of the city was arranged, facing the southeast side, and the northwest riverside was loosely guarded. Raid on Aocang. It's just that Aocang City is on the mountain, and if you want to conquer Ao Cang City, it's not an easy thing. ”
