Regarding Chen Liang's encirclement and suppression of Du Fuwei, Wan He also discussed with Li Jing, but Li Jing was not very optimistic about Chen Liang, in his opinion, Du Fuwei was rough in appearance, but in fact he was very cunning! Although Chen Liang can be regarded as a veteran, but the use of soldiers is too rigid, do not know how to be flexible, and even in Li Jing's view, Chen Liang's previous victories were all Du Fuwei deliberately set up, this trick is a bit like the previous Wagangzhai lured the counterinsurgency army, and finally set up an ambush in the Dahai Temple.

Regarding Li Jing's analysis, although Wan He didn't understand it, he didn't have any doubts! So Wan He is also not optimistic about Chen Liang, of course, he will not say this in front of Yang Tong, Yuan Wendu, and Duan Da, but just smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness is not unclear about my ability, don't let me be ugly!" ”

Seeing that Wan He was reluctant to speak, Yang Tong also smiled and was no longer reluctant, as for Yuan Wendu and Duan Da and the others, they showed puzzled expressions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They have all served in other places all these years, and they have also heard of Wanhe's achievements in the past two years, whether it is the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo or the Battle of Yanmen Pass, none of them show Wanhe's superb command level and combat ability, and now they are still so modest? But since even Yang Tong didn't say anything, they naturally wouldn't talk much.

After everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, Yang Tong asked Wan He: "Liang Guogong came to find this king this time, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Wan He nodded, glanced at Yuan Wendu and Duan Da and the others, and hesitated, but there was nothing to hide about this matter, and even said: "I came to find His Highness this time, I really have an urgent matter, and I want to ask Your Highness for a favor!" I want to ask Your Highness to give me the command of 10,000 Royal Guards! ”

Wan He's words were fluttering, but in the ears of others, they were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day! Wan He actually asked Yang Tong for the command of 10,000 Imperial Forest Army! How is this possible? Yuan Wendu, Duan Da and the others all looked at Wan He with wide eyes, they couldn't imagine that Wan He would suddenly say such a mindless thing, I really don't understand how he climbed to the position of this important minister in the court! As for Yang Tong, he couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, he didn't expect Wan He to say such a thing, if only the two of them were there, it would be nothing, he had long been used to Wan He's no score, but now that Yuan Wendu and Duan Da are here, this is a bit difficult to do! After hesitating for a moment, Yang Tong glanced at Yuan Wendu and Duan Da, and said to Wan He with a dry smile: "Ten thousand imperial forest troops? This, this is a bit of a hassle? What is the use of Liang Guogong asking for this 10,000 Royal Forest Army? ”

Troublesome? It's simply not possible to be good or not! Listening to Yang Tong's words, Yuan Wendu, Duan Da and others are about to go crazy, I have long heard that the relationship between Yang Tong and Wan He is good, but they don't joke about this kind of military affairs, right? The Son of Heaven ordered King Yue to supervise the country for only a few days, and he was going to distribute 10,000 imperial forest troops to foreign ministers? You must know that there are only 20,000 Imperial Forest Army left in Luoyang!

But Wan He didn't look at the expressions of Yuan Wendu and the others who were about to go crazy at all, but frowned and said seriously: "Your Highness, that's the case, I found out a few days ago that now Henan bandits are rampant, and it really has reached a point where you can't ignore it!" And grain and grass are an important condition for restricting banditry! Without food and grass, no matter how rampant those bandits are, they won't last long! Therefore, to destroy the bandits, first of all, it is necessary to cut off the source of food and grass for the bandits! ”

Yuan Wendu and the others thought that Wan He was crazy at first, but now that they heard Wan He's analysis, they also felt that it made sense, Yuan Wendu and Duan Da were actually relatively talented people, otherwise, they would not have been specially transferred by Yang Guang to assist Yang Tong. Wan He's explanation, to their ears, is also quite reasonable, although they still don't understand what Wan He's reason for asking for 10,000 Royal Forest Army has anything to do with this, but at least they won't be as shocked as they were at the beginning. And Yang Tong also thought the same thing, first nodded, and then said with a puzzled face: "Liang Guogong, your words are reasonable, but what does this have to do with asking you for 10,000 Imperial Forest Army?" ”

Wan He soothed his brows, and then said: "Looking at the whole of Henan, the largest granary is undoubtedly Luokou Cang!" There is too much food hoarded in Luokoucang! If the thieves get the grain from this Luokou warehouse, it will definitely be endless trouble! And the previous Wagangzhai thieves counterattacked Luokoucang, which also proved that they had already targeted the grain in Luokoucang! Therefore, I decided to take 10,000 Imperial Forest Army to talk about all the food in Luokoucang! ”

Yang Tong and the others heard Wan He talk about Luokoucang at first, and they all nodded, after all, the grain in Luokoucang is indeed a big fat meat in the eyes of bandits! However, they thought that Wan He wanted this 10,000 Royal Forest Army and was preparing to garrison Luokoucang, but when Wan He finished speaking, everyone, including Yang Tong, widened their eyes and looked at Wan He in disbelief!

Empty the grain in Luokoucang? What's this, what kind of joke is this? The grain in Luokoucang is collected by the imperial court from all over the world over the years, and if there is no holy decree from the Son of Heaven, no one will dare or can move it! Now that the Son of Heaven is far away in Jiangdu, it is naturally impossible to give Wan He a holy decree, and Wan He has no holy decree, so he even thinks about emptying Luokoucang! This, this is too bold, right?

Immediately, Yuan Wendu couldn't care about it so much, so he just stood up and shouted: "No!" Never! The grain in this Luokoucang is related to the foundation of the imperial court, how can it be used casually? Your Highness! Liang Guogong's words are really inappropriate! You can't say yes! ”

Yuan Wendu suddenly spoke, and directly denied Wan He's opinion, which also made Wan He startled, and immediately looked at the somewhat white and fat middle-aged civil official with a strange face, and said: "Lord Yuan! It is precisely because the grain in Luokoucang is related to the foundation of the imperial court that this prince suggested that all the grain in Luokoucang be transported to Luoyang, which can better protect these grains! ”

"Liang Guogong!" Yuan Wendu was already looking at Wan He seriously at this moment, and he couldn't care about those hypocritical politeness anymore, and shouted in a deep voice: "This Luokou warehouse was specially built by the Holy Lord to store these grains and grass!" Its city defense can be said to be completely not inferior to the eastern capital, and even surpassed! There is no need to transport grain and grass out of Luokou Cang and then send it to Dongdu! If Luokoucang is in danger, you can send more troops and horses to help! On the contrary, the grain and grass were transported out of Luokou Cang, but in the middle of the journey, it was easy to be attacked by those bandits! If the grain and grass are lost, the foundation of the court will be shaken! Liang Guogong, when the time comes, you will be the sinner of the Great Sui! ”

Originally, Wan He was smiling before, looking harmless to humans and animals, but he didn't expect Yuan Wendu to not give himself any face, and finally buckled such a big hat on his head, no matter how good Wan He's temper was, he couldn't hang his face, his face sank, and he shouted: "Lord Yuan!" If you don't know about military affairs, then don't talk nonsense! Although the city defense of Luokoucang is good, the scale of the entire Luokoucang is too small, even if there are more troops to defend, the narrow city head cannot give full play to the strength of the defenders! If the bandits surround Luokoucang and slowly wear down the defenders of Luokoucang, the defenders of Luokoucang will be defeated! When the time comes, all the grain in Luokoucang will also be owned by the bandits! ”

Naturally, Wan He couldn't think of this, but before he came, Wan He specially asked Qin Qiong for advice. Qin Qiong is a general who has participated in the battle to aid the siege of Luokoucang twice, so he naturally knows the shortcomings of Luokoucang's defense! And this is the biggest loophole in Luokoucang's defense!

This Yuan Wendu is indeed not very familiar with military affairs, Yuan Wendu's specialty is in government affairs, but he doesn't know anything about marching and fighting! However, although Yuan Wendu was speechless by the argument, there was still a Duan Da next to him! Duan Dana is a veteran who has fought for more than ten years, and when he heard Wan He's words, although he nodded frequently, he still didn't agree with Wan He's statement, and said: "Grandpa Guo! Although there is some truth in what you said, the risk of transporting the grain from Luokoucang is too great! If you encounter bandits on the road, even if you are escorting more than 10,000 royal forest soldiers, if you are targeted by bandits, it is still very dangerous! On the contrary, if the thieves besiege Luokoucang as Grandpa Guo said, they will definitely not be able to take Luokoucang in a short time! When the time comes, the Holy Lord's side will not sit idly by, and will definitely send a large army to the rescue! When the army arrives, the bandits will retreat without a fight! And why take the risk of moving the food out? ”

Wan He glanced at Duan Da with some surprise, this section of Da is a bit military-minded! However, Li Jing and Qin Qiong, two future famous generals, also analyzed this idea before, and they didn't agree with this idea, Wan He also opened his mouth and retorted: "What General Duan said also makes some sense!" But General Duan should not forget, now the supply of grain and grass in the entire Henan region depends on Luokoucang! If the thieves besiege Luokoucang, it means that the entire Henan army has fallen into a crisis of no food! As for the army dispatched by the Holy Lord, it is absolutely impossible to arrive in two months! That's a lot going to happen in these two months! For example, the thieves took the opportunity to attack the surrounding cities of Luokoucang! ”

Wan He said in the end, Duan Da's face also changed suddenly, he has always led troops in the local area, of course he knows the importance of Luokoucang in Henan, especially the several cities around Luokoucang, which completely rely on the supply of grain and grass from Luokoucang! If the supply of grain and grass in Luokoucang is cut off, then there will be no grain and grass in these cities, and the bandits will attack, it will not last long! As Wan He said, the Son of Heaven wants to dispatch a large army, and after getting the information, he will then issue a holy decree, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, it will take at least two months, if the various cities in Henan are captured, the reinforcements are afraid that it will be more difficult to reach Luokoucang!
