Chapter Twenty-Three: God Help Me
readx;
The cold wind was howling, and Hou Junji led the remnants of the defeated soldiers to rest on a dry yellow grassland. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although it was already dawn, the sky was dull and dark, which made people feel breathless.
Those who are familiar with the grassland know that this is one of the signals before the rain.
"Bastard ......"
Hou Junji angrily threw the iron helmet in his hand to the ground, and at this moment he had already received the news that Dadu had been attacked by night.
Connecting up and down, how can this famous general not see the problem?
Where is this Du He's clever calculation, like a god, and it is clearly luck.
The rapid change in the tide of the war was the result of Qi Bi Holi's own assertions.
There were only 4,000 tired soldiers who attacked his camp.
Knowing this, the moment he found Duhe, he should have fought against him, and then the victory and defeat would have changed.
As for the 4,000 tired soldiers of Qi Bi He Li, where is it in his eyes.
"Duhe thief, I, Hou Junji, will not take revenge, and swear not to be a ......" Hou Junji gritted his teeth and gurgled, and this low roar was like the roar of a tiger with an arrow. The eyes were bloodshot red, not angry, not irrational, but an enraged lion glaring at the enemy.
After being humiliated and losing his mind, that is the most stupid, the most ignorant, and after the truly strong man is humiliated, his practice is to engrave this humiliation in the bottom of his heart, and return it tenfold, a hundredfold.
There is no doubt that Hou Junji belongs to the latter.
"Whoa......
Heaven and earth suddenly became incandescent and bright, and the bright eyes could not see.
seems to be responding to Hou Junji's anger......
Thundered!!!
The deafening thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the earth shook with this loud bang.
The horses and cattle were frightened and let out a panicked neigh, causing a burst of *** in the army.
Hou Junji also made this prank of God startled, his ears roared and buzzed, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Tick, tick, tick......
First, a few drops of bean-sized rain hit his emaciated face, and then a torrential downpour of rain fell.
The wind was strong and the rain was heavy.
hit Hou Junji's face, and it was a faint pain.
"General......" Fan Hao came to Hou Junji's side and said: "Can you withdraw the troops first, it's so cold, our tents have been destroyed by the Tang army, and if you don't find a place to shelter from the rain, I'm afraid that the soldiers' bodies can't stand it......"
Hou Junji glanced around, and saw that the chicken was drenched in soup, and his lips were purple from freezing in this harsh climate, and they were next to each other to keep warm.
He frowned slightly, and asked, "When will the follow-up army be able to arrive in ......?"
Fan Hao said with a bitter face: "If you follow the normal speed, you should be able to arrive tonight." But the wind and rain are so strong, even if there is a coat, it can't cover it. We don't have many winter clothes, and once we get wet, we don't have anything to change, so how can we march on a rainy day. I guess the young master should have found a high ground to rest and shelter from the rain. ”
Hou Junji also remembered that in the past, when the army marched and fought, he would take refuge from the rain and stop the army during the rainy season in winter. Walking in the rain is too damaging to the soldiers' bodies. He didn't know much about Xue Yantuo's situation here, so he asked.
The winter wind blew, Hou Junji couldn't help but shiver, manpower can't compete with the sky, in this climate, reluctant to fight, the harm outweighs the good, without any hesitation, said: "Only retreat...... I don't know how many days this rain will be......"
He just said it unintentionally, but he didn't want to get an answer soon.
Fan Hao has lived in the grassland for more than 20 years, and he knows the climate well, so he immediately replied: "It will rain for at least five or six days, except for spring, we don't usually rain much here, but it is several days in a row, almost constantly." This is especially true during the rainy season in winter. ”
Hou Junji listened casually, suddenly looked uplifted, and asked nervously: "Everything you said is the truth?" ”
Fan Hao nodded and replied: "Naturally, I don't dare to deceive the general, my family was not from Xue Yantuo, but a small tribe on the grassland. At that time, there were no cattle or sheep, so I had to hunt to survive. Whenever the rainy season in winter is the hardest, the memory is deep. This rain came so fast and so heavily, it didn't mean that it would stop......"
Hou Junji raised his head and laughed: "God really helps me......"
"General?" Fan Hao was inexplicable, and even doubted whether the famous general was confused.
Hou Junji smiled confidently, swept away the boredom in his heart, patted Fan Hao's shoulder affectionately and said: "The day the rain stops, it is the time for us to break the enemy." Winning this battle, you are the first ......" and then calmly said: "Let's go, don't catch a cold......"
**********
"Smack......
Li Shimin couldn't put it down and looked at the battle report in his hand, which recorded every step of the offensive and defensive battle between Hou Junji and Du He, and every key one. He was a rare military wizard, using war reports to deduce the war, and at this moment, the war situation in the north flashed in his mind one by one like a movie.
"Wonderful ...... The decisiveness of the sortie...... There is a degree of deployment, the first battle, can win Hou Junji, there is really the style of a general...... "He was overjoyed, he forgot for a while, moved the foot pressed under the buttocks, moved to the front, put his hand on his thigh, his eyes did not leave the battle report, and his mouth sighed.
Ordinary people can't see the key to this battle report, and will think that the reason why this battle can be won by a big victory is that luck accounts for the majority. But he knows that luck is part of strength on the battlefield.
If it weren't for Du He's adoption of Xue Wanche's strategy, if it weren't for Du He's steady use of people, if it weren't for Du He's beautiful defense, if it weren't for Du He's clever killer strategy, if it weren't for Du He's decisive pursuit, there would have been no night attack on the enemy camp, let alone the victory of the attack camp, and of course there would not have been a big victory afterward.
How can all this be explained by luck?
As a general, the key is not to give full play to the strength of one person, the wisdom of one person, and gather the wisdom of the whole army, that is the real general.
In this battle, Du He adopted good advice, employed people appropriately, bravely and strategically, and was decisive and resolute, all of which reflected the style of a general. Although he lacks experience, there is no doubt that in a few years, he will become the Optimus Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
He once again looked at the battle report and sighed: "The attack is beautiful, and the retreat is timely...... They are all rare tiger and bear generals, but it's a pity, if you hadn't turned your back on me, today would be the time for you to exalt your might. ”
He was happy for Du He's victory, but when he thought of Hou Junji, he couldn't let go of it, and the expression on his face changed immediately.
Wei Zheng, who was starting, couldn't bear it, "Your Majesty ......"
Hearing Wei Zheng's accent, Li Shimin suddenly realized, like a mouse seeing a cat, he gathered his superfluous expression, hurriedly retracted his feet under his buttocks, sat on his knees, and said with an embarrassed smile: "There is a war in the north, Du He, the deputy head of our army's Shuozhou Road March, used his troops decisively against the rebel general Hou Junji, won the first battle, and annihilated more than 30,000 enemies. ”
"It is gratifying to win at the front, but as an emperor, you should set an example for the world......" Wei Zheng turned a deaf ear to the lord's complaints, and his face sank like water, "Your Majesty, it's good that my subordinates are here today, otherwise this kind of unruly behavior will be seen by others, and people will say that Your Majesty is misbehaving......"
Li Shimin muttered in his heart: "Except for you, who is stubborn, who dares to keep grasping these little problems of me......" Although he said this, he didn't dare to show his face, raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, good, I know that I am wrong, thank you Aiqing for your advice, I change, I change ......"
He was very afraid of Wei Zheng's tirade, so he hurriedly bowed his head to show goodwill, but he was extremely helpless in his heart. He is very active and not used to kneeling, but Wei Zheng is extremely decent, so he must be meticulous every time he faces him, otherwise he will be a head and face and say. If it was someone else, he would have tried his best to transfer him far away, but this Wei Zheng has unique political views, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, no one can compare, he is his indispensable think tank, and he can't do without him. Every time I am with him, I feel a sense of fear, just like I used to get into trouble outside and didn't dare to see my father and mother.
Wei Zheng sat quietly opposite, he came today to establish a prince. Hou Junji rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, the world was shaken, and the crown prince Li Chengqian was also affected by this, and he was demoted to a commoner, and there was no prince in the country.
In the eyes of the scribes, a country could not be without a king, nor without a prince. Wei Zheng, as the leader of the diehards, entered the palace to persuade Li Shimin to choose the prince as soon as possible.
Li Shimin said that he was in the east and west, and he started Tai Chi with Wei Zheng, and he did not immediately choose the reserve.
Wei Zheng is stubborn and good at arguing, but Li Shimin has the ability to play Tai Chi, and he is as pure as fire, and he does not leak. Even Wei Zheng persuaded not to move. For a moment, the scene was a little stiff.
At this time, the news of the battle from the front line came to break the deadlock.
Wei Zheng said: "The battle situation on the front line is gratifying, but there is still a lot of trouble...... "He is good at politics and military strategy, far inferior to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, but it does not mean that he is a military idiot. Compared with the general school, it is better than one or two.
"Hou Junji's defeat, in the final analysis, is still because he let the enemy go...... Today he was defeated, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and he made a comeback, and his power was even more victorious. ”
In the face of Wei Zheng's evaluation, Li Shimin thought deeply that Hou Junji did not release any water when he fought against Du He, and they did have a wonderful and fierce offensive and defensive decisive battle. said that Hou Junji underestimated the enemy, before the war.
In the face of Du He's 30,000 vanguard army, Hou Junji launched an offensive before he could gain a stable foothold, obviously underestimating Du He, a descendant, which led to various drawbacks.
If he can stabilize his foothold first, and then fight a decisive battle, he will never be defeated.
Li Shimin knew Hou Junji, and after the baptism of this defeat, Hou Junji took Du He as his opponent squarely and went all out. At this time, Hou Junji is the real famous general who can do whatever he wants on the battlefield.
"The first battle was a success, but the real test has just begun."
