Chapter 21: The Abandonment Army
Several ministers of the DPRK and China were already waiting in the chamber, and among them, Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng who had the hottest temper, was even more anxious to go around in circles in the side hall. When he was training as a foot soldier, he received an urgent military situation at the border pass, and he didn't even take off the silver armor weighing 55 catties on his body, so he ran to the side hall. As he walked faster and faster in the side hall, the silver armor on his body made a sound of "bang" and "bang", and a pair of sharp eyes like eagles and falcons revealed a thick anxious flame.
Huang Feihu's right hand has been pressed on the hilt of the sword, if it weren't for the fact that he was the protector general of the Shang Kingdom second only to Wen Zhongwen Taishi, his own sister was the favorite concubine of the King of Zhou, and he was loyal to the King of Zhou, just his habitual actions and the problem of carrying weapons into the side hall would be enough to constitute a great crime of treason!
King Xuan looked at Huang Feihu, who was only slightly inferior to himself by an inch in height, and his eyes showed a look of pride. Huang Feihu has been on the battlefield for fifteen years, after more than 200 battles, and has strategized again and again, so that his eyes have a deep and unfathomable demeanor, but he is the kind of invincible general who is enthusiastic and can inspire the most crazy combat effectiveness of his subordinate brothers. These two contradictions are combined to form a brave, resourceful, invincible and orthodox commander!
Huang Feihu was unstoppable when he attacked, but when he defended, he was like an impregnable wall, and he was completely invulnerable. The enemy who fought with him was a headache in the face of a commander who had both offensive and defensive skills, that is, the strong courage of a warrior and the alertness and ability of a strategist, and almost did not have any weaknesses!
Huang Feihu was born in a noble family, and his family has been loyal to the Shang Dynasty for five generations, and the possible surname of such a general who wants to rebel is infinitely close to zero. It was because of Huang Feihu, a king of Zhenguo Wucheng, that he dared to lead the elite of the Shang Dynasty to conquer the surrounding countries and lay a bigger and bigger country for the Shang Dynasty.
Uncle Bigan Wang, who was thin and thin, and had a righteous aura all over his body, stared at Fei Zhong, who was sweating, and said in a sarcastic tone: "It's rare that Dr. Fei can care so much about state affairs this time, and he can break into the harem regardless of his own safety and invite the king to the side hall for discussion." ”
Fei Zhong said confidently: "I, Fei Zhong, am a scholar of the Shang Dynasty and a courtier next to the king, and it is natural to be loyal to the country and solve the king's worries." ”
Uncle Bigan Wang pressed step by step: "Since Dr. Fei Zhong is so confident, he must have a plan to solve the current crisis?" Bigan is here and willing to listen to Lord Fei Zhong's high opinion! ”
Fei Zhong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, when it came to looting rare treasures, robbing half of the folk beauties to keep for himself, and half to dedicate to the king, he was handy, but when it came to military affairs, how could he, a layman, dare to sacrifice his ugliness in front of experts such as King Xu, King Wucheng of Zhenguo, and Bigan?
Seeing Fei Zhong's embarrassment, the king waved his hand and stopped this problem for Fei Zhong, he glanced around at everyone present, and when he thought of the war again, he couldn't help but raise a battle flame thirsting for blood in his heart, and he raised his voice and asked: "Now the thieves are operating wantonly in our territory from three directions, disturbing my people and plundering my property, which is really an unforgivable crime. But they are all on one side, even if we send troops to conscript, we are afraid of taking care of one and losing the other, all the ministers are the pillars of the country, please speak freely and relieve my worries. ”
As soon as Huang Feihu, the king of Zhenguo Wucheng, stretched out his big hand, six warriors carried a map with a wooden frame, which was five feet long and five feet high, and weighed more than two hundred and fifty catties, to the center of the side hall.
This kind of map is definitely the highest innovation in the world, on the wooden board, mixed with lime and egg green, mixed with honey, to make the best material for the sticky surname, Huang Feihu himself based on the information gathered at hand, commanded fifty skilled craftsmen, it took one year and three months to make a three-dimensional map.
On this three-dimensional map, the terrain and garrisons of Chaoge and the surrounding countries are readily available, even the smallest hill undercurrents are not missed, and this map is matched with a 35,000-word annotation of geographical customs that took 20 silk horses to complete.
Huang Feihu caressed this three-dimensional map, a trace of fanatical light flashed in his eyes, he stared at the King of Xu, and suddenly a battle-hardened and cold rose on his body, and said proudly: "This is a war that we must not show weakness!" In the face of these premeditated provocations and aggression by these enemies, our only choice is to fight a national war and destroy them by thunderous means! Completely wipe them out!! ”
"Now that the enemy is attacking from three directions at the same time, it is obvious that we cannot do both. They all adopted the guerrilla tactics of striking and leaving, and the battlefield was even more in the open Yangtze River valley and mountainous areas, and if they wanted to force them into a desperate situation and be forced to fight to the death with us, we must have 50,000 well-trained regular troops to do so! ”
Huang Feihu casually pulled out the small blue flag representing Dongyi on the map, replaced it with a red flag marked with the word "Wen", glanced at the audience with blazing eyes, and said proudly: "Dongyi is a Li tribe that once competed with the Yellow Emperor of the Yan Clan for control of the land, no matter how they decline now, the remnants of the remnants still have quite strong strength, and more importantly, their strategic goal is not only to be satisfied with plundering and returning with a full load, so we must pull out this nail!" Taishi Wen Zhong has just led his army to defeat the remote and small country of Chen in the southeast, and is moving back to the dynasty. The king can issue a warrant to Wen Taishi, ordering Wen Taishi to take a short rest, and immediately wave his army to quell the Dongyi rebellion in the southeast, and deal the most ruthless blow to the enemy! As long as we can provide the necessary food, grass and medicine to the 80,000 elite soldiers led by Wen Taishi in a timely manner, I can judge that the Dongyi rebellion is no longer to be feared. ”
Everyone present nodded again and again, Fei Zhong saw the look of admiration on the face of the King of Xu, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes involuntarily, but he quickly inadvertently concealed this emotion.
"The next target we must eliminate is the Jingchu rebels in the Jianghan Valley." Huang Feihu pointed to the map of the south and said: "There are many Fang countries and tribes in the south of our country, Jingchu in the Jianghan Valley is the most powerful one of them, and the king of Wuding, who created the 'prosperous era of Wuding' in my country, once led the warriors of the Shang State to go deep into the Jianghan Valley, defeated them, and sacrificed the captives to the ghosts and gods as 'human animals', making the Shang Kingdom and Jingchu irreconcilable mortal enemies." In the face of this resurgence of rebels, we can only suppress them with all our might, and we must not allow them to sit big! We can't let other countries and tribes think that our Shang country is weak and can be bullied, so they have the idea of fishing in troubled waters! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Huang Feihu suddenly knelt in front of the king and shouted: "Wechen has been thinking for a long time, to extinguish this rebel army, we need Wechen to personally lead the troops, please give me the tiger talisman and allow me to lead Wechen to lead the tiger battalion under his jurisdiction and 50,000 foot soldiers, 200 chariots, and 1,000 tigers to quell the chaos." If it is fast, it will be half a year, and if it is slow, it will be a year, and Weichen can smoothly return to the court. ”
As soon as Huang Feihu said this, except for Bigan and Shang Rong, who had already discussed together, everyone else showed a look of surprise. Fei Zhong couldn't help but shout: "Huang Feihu, you are the king of Zhenguo Wucheng, if you lead the elite of Chaoge, who will protect Chaoge and the king?" ”
Huang Feihu looked at the king with both eyes, and said sincerely: "Quell the Jingchu rebellion, this war is related to the foundation of my Tang Jiangshan, and I will never allow the slightest mistake, Weichen really can't rest assured that he will be entrusted with such a heavy task in the hands of others." Although I took away most of the defenders of Chaoge this time, there are still 20,000 elite soldiers, as well as the king's Red Tiger battalion, with the invincible courage of the king and the dedication of countless loyal and brave people in our Shang country, the king led these Shang warriors, although they can't go around to fight against the enemy, but they are more than enough for self-preservation! ”
Feeling Huang Feihu's trusting gaze, King Xuan only felt a heat in his heart, nodded fiercely, and said, "Quasi-play!" ”
"King Xie!"
Huang Feihu walked to the map again, pointed to the small cyan flag representing Dongqiang in the east, and was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "The Qiang people are divided into two camps: Dongqiang and Xiqiang. In the Western Qiang, the Qianglong, Qiangfang, Beiqiang, Maqiang and other races, it is by no means an exaggeration to say that they are a hodgepodge, and their greatest wish when they enter our country is to plunder enough food, bronze utensils and women, so they should be the least threat to our country among the three rebel armies. But these Qiang people, who have grown up on horseback all their lives, are the best at horse bow shooting, and they form cavalry teams to carry out surprise battles, which can really be called like the wind, and whoever wants to completely annihilate this kind of army will take a long time. Moreover, with the number of troops we have, we are not able to send enough troops to encircle and suppress them. ”
Everyone looked at Huang Feihu quietly, expecting this wise and brave commander to come up with a brilliant plan to defeat the enemy.
"To deal with this group of Dongqiang cavalry, Weichen thought about it and found a way." A bitter look appeared on Huang Feihu's face, and he hissed: "We are now unable to dispatch elite troops to encircle and suppress this group of cavalry, and there are no effective cadres in the DPRK and China to carry out this kind of task in the future. So my advice is ......"
Speaking of this, even Prime Minister Bigan and Uncle Shangrong Wang showed a look of concern, obviously Huang Feihu did not tell them all about this plan, Huang Feihu gritted his teeth fiercely, covered his hand over the entire eastern war zone, and hissed: "Please give the king an order to recruit all adult strong men between the ages of fourteen and forty-five in the eastern battlefield, and distribute weapons to them to form a militia force to intercept the Dongqiang cavalry!" ”
Everyone was stunned by Huang Feihu's plan.
Huang Feihu's voice came into everyone's ears coolly, "I know that of course an untrained militia cannot be a brave cavalry opponent of the Qiang people, but we are in the Eastern Theater of Operations, and we can recruit at least 300,000 militia troops, plus a slave army composed of 230,000 slaves in the East, we can have a total of 530,000 troops in the Eastern Theater!" ”
"Five hundred and thirty thousand troops! And even if Dongqiang is a soldier for all the people, it would be good for them to have 15,000 cavalry. Since we can no longer win qualitatively, we must achieve absolute superiority in quantity and use it to level the gap in strength between the two sides! ”
Bigan widened his eyes, and finally couldn't help asking, "In this case, even if the final victory can be achieved, how many people will be left of these 530,000 people?" You know, our merchant country also needs these civilians and slaves to engage in production and support the economic lifeline of our eastern region! ”
"Don't expect the 530,000 ragtag army to achieve the final victory!" Huang Feihu's eyes flashed with an absolutely cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "We have an absolute advantage in numbers, but they can only play a role in containing the Qiang cavalry, at most it will make the Qiang cavalry not so smooth when looting." If we want to eliminate these Qiang troops, we also need to rely on the 80,000 elite warriors of the Shang Kingdom led by Wen Taishi! How many 530,000 people will be left after this war depends on how much time it will take for Wen Taishi to wipe out the rebels of the Li tribe! ”
Huang Feihu closed his eyes, thinking back to the sharp horse bows of the Qiang cavalry, and the sharp attacks they launched with the help of their horses to sprint. When the horses galloped, the earth shook and the yellow sand shook, looking at this earth-shattering and amazing momentum, not to mention those militia or slave soldiers who had not experienced any training, even the battle-hardened veterans were dizzy and trembling their hands!
After a long time, Huang Feihu said in a low voice: "If Wen Taishi can extinguish the rebellion of the Li people within half a year and return to the division in time to help, half of these 530,000 people can survive." ”
At this time, even Shang Rong couldn't help it, he asked in a trembling voice, "What if Master Wen can't extinguish the rebellion of the Li tribe within half a year?" ”
Huang Feihu met Shang Rong's eager gaze, sighed lowly, and said, "Six months is already the limit of the morale and grain and grass support of this group of miscellaneous troops, if it exceeds six months, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and their survival numbers will ...... Ten is less than one! ”
Everyone looked at Huang Feihu with a mixture of horror, suspicion, and admiration, and their expressions were as if they were looking at a wolf, the most cruel lone wolf who would pull the enemy into death even if he was mortally wounded!
Huang Feihu said bitterly: "They are an abandoned army that has not yet been formed, and they are destined to be abandoned by us!" ”
Famous generals since ancient times have stepped on countless dry bones to climb to the pinnacle of success step by step, and there is absolutely no luck in this!
Staring at the general he admired the most, the king nodded slowly and said, "Quasi-play!" ”
