Chapter 66: Sunset
"Murong Daoming, no less than a brother......"
In the handsome tent of the Chinese army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, a veteran sat on the handsome seat and sighed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the handsome press in front of him, a series of casualty documents were shocking.
"Marshal, our army has been trapped in Guangyang for nearly half a month, and if it drags on, it will not only be a matter of casualties among the soldiers, but also His Majesty's plan for this battle, I am afraid it will be in vain. Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
The middle-aged general, who was sitting in the first place, suddenly stood up and said.
"What does the general think?"
Da Xijin, the commander of the Chinese army in the Northern Wei Dynasty, has always been known for his quick wit, insight, and deep qualifications, but he doesn't know why he is quite cold to his generals today.
Of the generals in the tent, only a few of them are Da Xijin's cronies, so they know a little bit about it.
This northern expedition to Youzhou was a campaign that Emperor Wei single-mindedly pursued by Situ Cuihao, so from the very beginning, the tone of a quick attack and a quick breakthrough was set.
Although Emperor Wei had already decided on the fact that Da Xijin was the commander, when the specific implementation of the operation, the general of Long Xiang, Bu Liugu, had a dispute with Da Xijin.
Da Xijin advocated taking advantage of the defenselessness of Beiyan, simply selected the elite coastal breakthrough, first captured Quanzhou (it is Quanzhou, there is no mistake, I also checked the "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" to make sure that I was not mistaken, it belonged to Yuyang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty), and then broke Anci, rushed lightly, and arrived at Jixian County; The follow-up army spread out from both wings, all the way east to Yongnu to prevent reinforcements from Yuyang County, and all the way west to Fangcheng to prevent Zhuojun reinforcements, and slowly followed.
However, Bu Liugu felt that such a rash advance was not only dangerous, but also too small, not like a big country facing a small country, but like a small country attacking a big country.
Bu Liugu believes that although Quanzhou is indeed much lower than Fan Yang due to its proximity to the sea, it is precisely because of this that the deterrent power is not as good. After directly attacking Fanyang, you can take the whole county of Zhuo County and connect it with the rear, which can also show the great power momentum of Wei while achieving the effect of surprise attack.
The end result, needless to say.
It is precisely this result that makes an old minister like Da Xijin secretly ashamed: as the commander-in-chief, his strategy was denied; And the real tactical mastermind, and the ending is so successful, in this case, what is the use of having yourself as a coach?
But Bu Liugu didn't understand the joints, and just calmly suggested: "Now Guangyang is anxious, but with the news of the scouts, the other counties of Beiyan are all terrified when they hear that my Great Wei Heavenly Army is coming. In the opinion of the last general, it is better to leave an army to confront Murong Daoming, and take Anci to the east with the main army, and then go north. In this way, if Murong Daoming wants to save the east, Guangyang will be lost; If you don't save it, you can take advantage of the situation to go north, or you can go straight to Jixian County. ”
As soon as Bu Liugu finished speaking, the generals in the audience couldn't help but nod their heads.
It's not that they really appreciate this strategy, but they have been attacking for days and days, but they have found nothing, and such extremely depressed heavy casualties are a nightmare for the soldiers, and for the generals, it is also a situation that they do not want to encounter.
If you can really do what Bu Liugu said, avoid the real and take the enemy country lightly, who wants to die here?
"Humph!"
Da Xijin snorted coldly, and the atmosphere in the tent was suddenly solemn.
"Take Anci early, why waste the lives of tens of thousands of men in my Great Wei under this Guangyang City!"
As soon as Da Xijin's words came out, the generals who didn't know much about the situation suddenly had an epiphany and hurriedly bowed their heads and remained silent.
And Bu Liugu was even more shocked: "Big handsome, the last general ......"
"Alright."
Da Xijin waved his hand arbitrarily, and he was also a little regretful that he couldn't hold back this breath. But as the commander-in-chief, especially such a veteran minister who has been up and down in the military and political circles of the Great Wei Dynasty for many years, this face will have to survive no matter what.
The general's words are also reasonable. But this comes and goes, even if it goes well, it will take more than half a month. If there is a slight obstacle, I am afraid it will take a long time, and that is the deep hope of His Majesty. ”
"Dashuai!"
Bu Liugu didn't care about what kind of resentment Da Xijin had, and said eagerly: "The copper wall of Guangyang City is ironclad, and it is by no means overnight, not to mention the casualties of the soldiers, and the heavy grain and grass ......."
"This marshal fought with the first emperor, and now he is loyal to His Majesty, half a lifetime of military battles, these truths, you don't know when you are the marshal?"
Da Xijin looked at it coldly.
"The general's proposal is indeed interesting, and the commander also intends to adopt some of it, so why should the general be in a hurry? Fan Yang's first merit is already the first merit appointed by His Majesty, can't the general let it out again? ”
Without waiting for the six lonely steps, his purple face was red and ready to defend, but Da Xijin waved his hand again: "Take Anci from the east, the commander will allow it, and the general will lead the team." But the army that took Anci was a partial division, but it needed to be full of momentum all the way, so that Murong Daoming mistakenly thought that this commander really planned to go north. At the same time, from tomorrow, the siege will continue as usual, but there is no need to attack to the death, so that the Guangyang soldiers will also slacken; The lights and cooking utensils in the camp were all halved to show the enemy, and all the soldiers had nothing to do with them, and they were all kept in the tents and were not allowed to gather people to go out. ”
Da Xijin hurriedly and quickly issued a handsome order, and Bu Liugu quickly abandoned his emotions and asked solemnly: "Dare to ask the handsome, if Murong Daoming is unmoved, what should he do?" ”
Da Xijin smiled self-assuredly: "This plan to save Zhao from Wei is just one of them, if Murong Daoming hits, it will naturally be the best; If you don't win, it's okay. After half a month of strong attacks, although our army suffered heavy casualties, the Yan army was also bound to be exhausted. Once the offensive eases somewhat, even if Murong Daoming is on guard, his subordinates will definitely relax a little! This is the affection of the soldiers, not the general's orders. The old man has been fighting horses for half his life, and he doesn't dare to say that he uses soldiers like gods, but he has always seen through more doors than ordinary people. ”
Bu Liugu was silent for a moment, and solemnly gave a military salute and said: "Since the marshal has made a decision, the last general will naturally obey." If the handsome's plan succeeds, the end will only be in Anci, and he will break Yanhe for the handsome, and he will never be contaminated with any credit. But if the marshal does this, he still falls short, and the last general will ask for his life, and he can go north alone with a partial division. This is His Majesty's plan, and the last general will speak badly in front, please don't blame the marshal! ”
"Good!"
Da Xijin said proudly.
"If this plan fails, this marshal is willing to be under Guangyang City to contain Murong Daoming for the general and complete the general's Pingyan great achievement! All the generals here, be a witness, this is a gentleman's covenant, no complaints and no regrets! ”
…………
The next day, at dusk.
"Phew! I was also beaten with iron when these Wei dogs, why can't I do it today? I haven't killed enough! ”
A mouthful of spit spewed down the city, causing the soldiers on the city walls to chuckle.
"Sun Gai, you've worked hard these days."
Murong couldn't say a simple word, and a twisted posture rose on Sun Gai's strong and rough face.
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "Go and let Ling'er come over, I have something to say." ”
"Father."
After a while, Murong Ling hurried over.
Although Murong Ling was originally responsible for guarding the north gate, the Wei army had been concentrating its forces to storm the south gate for many days, and the garrison pressure of the Yan army was extremely high.
"Ling'er, from tomorrow, the defense of this south gate will be handed over to you."
Murong Ling had long heard in the rear that the offensive of the Wei army was slowing down today, and now that he was on the city wall, he found that the soldiers were full of energy, and there were few blood stains on the city wall. But now that the momentum of the Wei army has declined, and it is difficult to attack, the child will come again, I am afraid that it will chill the soldiers who fought bloodily before! ”
"Major General, we have no such thoughts!"
Sun Gai hurriedly spoke.
Although in his opinion, Murong Chui's move should also be to add more credit to Murong Ling and avoid danger; But not to mention that the whole army admires Murong Ling very much, even Murong Ling is quite prestigious. Let some credits be in the way, everyone has followed Murong Trai for many years, but all the meritorious subordinates, Murong Trai's favor, has never made people dissatisfied.
"How many reinforcements were there from the DPRK before, and what is the situation?"
Murong Trai asked suddenly.
Sun Gai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "More than 1,000 people came yesterday, and now there are 13,000 in total, all of whom are resting in the city." The soldiers who were seriously injured and difficult to support were also sent to the rear as much as possible, so His Highness did not have to worry. ”
Murong Chui nodded slightly and looked at Murong Ling: "From tomorrow, these thirteen,000 people will be the main force defending the city, Ling'er, and you will be the main gate of the town." Another 2,000 elites were taken and divided into four teams to patrol at the four gates, and the rest of the soldiers were all disarmed and recuperated, waiting for the general's order. ”
"Father, you want to show weakness...... But what does that mean? ”
Murong Ling seemed to have woken up, but he still didn't understand the deep meaning.
"If the opponent is like a game, if the enemy does not fall, how can I fall?"
Murong Chui smiled coldly.
"Da Xijin, your choice is nothing more than a detour to take another one, or show weakness and slack off the enemy. But either way, your impatience in this battle is doomed to your defeat! ”
Looking up at the sky, the afterglow of the sunset hit Murong Chui's side face, it seemed to be a little lonely, a little twilight, I don't know who to look at.
Murong raised his hand to signal, whether it was Murong Ling or Sun Gai, he didn't dare to say much, and retreated respectfully. Even his personal guards opened up some distance to give enough space.
The entire city, in an instant, seemed to have become a stage for Murong Chui alone.
After a while, Murong Chui sighed softly in a voice that only he could hear: "Old slave, let you replace the fourth brother and become this Dayan, and the last but the most beautiful afterglow......
