Under the influence of later generations of TV images, Wei Hong thought that Qin Shubao should be a tall and majestic, handsome hero. As a result, when I saw Zhenzun today, I was slightly disappointed in my heart, not as handsome as exaggerated on TV, completely no different from ordinary people, and I insisted on saying that it was different, that is, the faint majesty exuded from him.

Seeing Qin Shubao asking himself, Wei Hong hurriedly replied, not daring to slack off in the slightest: "If you go back to Hu Guogong, the villain is Wei Hong." "As a marquis, as long as he is a character, Wei Hong can't afford to provoke him. Thinking about it now, I am fortunate that I refused to enter the officialdom after being killed, otherwise I would be destined to be aggrieved for a lifetime in front of these bigwigs in the future.

Qin Shubao stroked his three-inch short hair, and looked at Wei Hong meaningfully: "Although the old man is far away from the border, he has heard of your name to some extent. The sewing machine and sketch are all from your hands, and you have helped Hongyuan Commercial Bank to squeeze Tianzihao and Hongda out of the capital, and your ability is amazing. ”

Is this a compliment? Wei Hong hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Thank you Hu Guogong for your praise, the little one is flattered." ”

Qin Shubao chuckled, stopped working on Wei Hong's body, and turned around and entered the conference hall. Since this conference hall is an important place to discuss strategies against the enemy, ordinary people have no right to enter it, so there are only four people in the large meeting hall, Comrade Lao Li, Li Jing, Qin Shubao, and Wei Hong.

Comrade Lao Li was the first to speak: "Shubao, how is the development of the war now?" Let's talk about it and listen to it. ”

Qin Shubao received the order, stood up, and respectfully saluted Comrade Lao Li, and said: "Previously, the old minister led his troops to fight with the Hui Turks several times, but failed to defeat the enemy. The army has been increased four times, and at this time, there are more than 60,000 Hui Turks outside the Horsehair Mountain, and it seems that the Horsehair Mountain will be captured no matter what. Among them, eighty percent are cavalry, only two percent are infantry, lack of siege equipment, although the number is twice as many as ours, but want to capture Horsehair Mountain, it is also a fantasy! ”

This is not Qin Shubao's exaggeration, there is an essential difference between siege warfare and large-scale engagement, if it is a large-scale engagement, the two sides will open a posture, and the fight is the superiority in numbers and the sophistication of equipment. Although the number of people in siege warfare also has a certain effect, the effect is not so great, and if you want to capture the city, it depends more on the efficiency of the siege equipment. With equal equipment, it would take at least 10,000 people to capture a city with 2,000 defenders. And as the number of soldiers defending the city increases, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two, even if it is five times the strength of the opponent, if there is no siege equipment to assist, it will be very difficult to fight. There are countless examples of the Tang Dynasty and the Hui Turks fighting, even if the two sides start a battle and a large-scale battle, the Hui Turks are not opponents, after all, the equipment is too poor, let alone the siege.

This time, the ratio of the strength of the Hui Turks was eighty percent cavalry, and only two percent were infantry, so it was obvious that they were not rushing to attack the city. If it wasn't a siege, then what were they wanting? Wei Hong lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stood up and said, "Holy Lord! According to the villain's opinion, the Hui Turks did not want to capture the Horsehair Mountain, but had another purpose! ”

Wei Hong is not a person in the officialdom, and on such an occasion, he suddenly interjected, which made Qin Shubao's face a little embarrassed. However, Wei Hong was brought in with the permission of the Holy Lord, so he must have some ability, so Qin Shubao didn't say anything.

Seeing that Wei Hong suddenly reacted so much, Comrade Lao Li realized that Wei Hong might have thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Tell me, what is the purpose of this move to return to the Turks?" ”

Wei Hong quickly clarified his thoughts, and said in a calm tone: "The Hui Turks have committed more than one offense, each time they are mainly cavalry, and they have been repeatedly defeated by my Tang Dynasty soldiers!" No matter how stupid the Hui Turks are, they will never always make such low-level mistakes! The ratio of troops to the Hui Turks this time is still more cavalry and less infantry, and the momentum is huge on the surface, as if they have to capture Mamane Mountain. But according to the villain's opinion, this must be a feint attack trick by the Hui Turks, ostensibly attacking Horsehair Mountain, but in fact, it is to attract the attention of the saints, and put all their minds on Horsehair Mountain, so that they have no time to pay attention to other places. The Hui Turks had long been prepared to run away if they couldn't fight, as long as they could attract the attention of the saints, they would have already won! Now that the Holy Lord has come to Horsehair Mountain in person, the villain boldly said that the Hui Turks have won half of it! ”

Comrade Lao Li and Li Jing bowed their heads and were silent, Qin Shubao squinted his eyes and said in a stern tone: "You said such an astonishing remark, what evidence do you have?" If you speak recklessly, it is a crime of deception! ”

Wei Hong naturally knows this truth, every word he says in front of Comrade Lao Li has to be carefully considered, and he has known Comrade Lao Li for so long, Wei Hong has never said a word without thinking. Not before, not now, and never in the future! Wei Hong arched his hand at Qin Shubao and said, "The villain naturally doesn't dare to say anything!" Hu Guogong has been guarding Horsehair Mountain during this time, and he knows very little about the changes within the Tang Dynasty, and Hu Guogong feels that the villain's words are exaggerated, which is not unreasonable. ”

After that, Wei Hong turned to Comrade Lao Li and said, "Does the saint remember what Datang has experienced this year? ”

Comrade Lao Li thought for a moment and said: "Liuzhou is plagued by rats and there is a shortage of military supplies in the northern army. ”

"That's it!" Wei Hong said with confidence: "This year was supposed to be a bumper harvest year in Liuzhou, but because of the rat infestation, the people were struggling to make a living, and the huge amount of food lost was staggering!" And Liuzhou happens to be one of the most important areas in Datang to pay taxes, and the rat infestation affects not only Liuzhou, but the entire Datang! Coupled with the shortage of military supplies in the northern army, it can be said that this year's Datang is still prosperous on the surface, but the actual internal hidden dangers are worrying! There is a saying that while you are sick, you will die! If the Hui Turks really have any bad intentions against our Tang territory, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity! ”

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Especially Comrade Lao Li's face was the most ugly: "Wei Hong, what you said is indeed possible!" But the supplies of the northern army have been replenished, and they can survive this harsh winter in good condition! ”

Wei Hong said lightly: "The past matter of replenishing the materials, that is, what happened recently, we know, it doesn't mean that the Hui Turks also know!" Does the saint still remember that in the Zichen Palace, the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Liang proposed to send cavalry from the north to encircle and suppress the Hui Turks? According to the villain's opinion, the Hui Turks were determined that we would send cavalry from the north, so the ratio of troops was set to eight to one for cavalry and infantry. The attack on Horsehair Mountain is a disguise, and the real purpose is to eat the cavalry of the north in one go! Then make a detour to the north, use the north as a breakthrough, and attack the entire Datang! If there is no cavalry in the north, it will simply open the door of the entire Tang Dynasty to welcome the Hui Turks! ”
