Forty-three, Wei Yi's scheming and Wei Hu's courage
With the sound of gongs, clanging gongs, the Qin army shouted in unison, while escorting Gongzi, the commander of the Hexi Army of the Wei army, to slowly tour the city in the four cities. Gongzi Wei wore a full set of general's armor, inserted the general's flag, tied to the chariot, and his mouth was gagged, as a sign of the Qin army's credit. The Qin army is really powerful, Wei Hu's military officials, tried their best, but they only pressed it for half a day, and they didn't dare to press it, and they came to Wei Hu to ask for instructions.
What can Wei Hu do, he has no choice but to know the affairs of the times as a junjie, and he has no choice but to order: the whole city surrenders!
On the day when Li Youwu led the army, swaggered out of the camp and went to Heyang. Wei Hu and Wei Yi stood on the high platform and gritted their teeth. Especially after receiving the letter from Qin Jun telling the truth, Wei Hu almost cut Gao Tai with one sword. But at the sergeant meeting, he still pressed the generals to ask for battle, and asked Wei Yi to talk about his views!
Wei Yi looked at the angry generals and said lightly: "I'm like you, I can't help but rush out immediately and fight to the death with the Qin army." However, I can't. Neither can the Tiger General. Neither can you. Why? Am I afraid of death? No. Because you all know that I am more courageous than the sky, otherwise I would not have fought to the death against the Qin army with a few thousand people alone in the battle of Anyi. Why is that? It's because we can't afford to lose. The 200,000 troops in our hands are the seeds and hope of the Wei army, and if we have a fever in our heads, we will fight fiercely with the Qin army. The result of the fierce battle was a defeat for both sides. The so-called killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself? The Qin army was damaged in battle, and it could be replenished immediately. But we lost the battle, what to replace it? So we need time. It takes time to train sergeants, and to train sergeants requires battle-hardened sergeants. We have defeated all the people, who will inherit the tradition of the Wei army and hold high the banner of the Wei army? Yes, there is a high probability that we will lose Hexi in our retreat, but we have saved people. If there are no people, we will have a chance to take Hexi, but if there are no people, there will be no land, and there will be no chance to take it back. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Yi choked up and couldn't continue. Wei Hu immediately took it and said, "Generals! You all know that the fifth son is a tough guy. I all know that I, Wei Hu, never admit defeat. However, in the face of such a great humiliation, why didn't the fifth prince and I fight, but knocked out our teeth and swallowed them in our stomachs? That's the reason that the fifth prince said just now.
Wu Gongzi and I believe that the top priority of our party is not the decisive battle of the Qin army, but to keep the 200,000 troops in our hands and the four cities of Dali, Wangcheng, Linjin Pass, and Jingshan in the hinterland of Hexi. After defending the city, it will take another two years to train the army, and the day the army is completed will be the time when we recapture Hexi and eliminate the Qin army. I wonder what the generals think? ”
As soon as Wei Hu's voice fell, the generals began to discuss. While the generals were discussing, the messenger in the army came to report: "Acting Commander! The Qin army was in the south of Hexi and launched a siege war against Yin and Jin! ”
After Wei Hu heard this, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and let the messenger go down.
The people who came to the meeting were all military commanders and adjutant generals of various armies, and no one was a person who did not understand military affairs, and as soon as they heard that the Qin army had begun an attack in the south, they knew that the Qin army was going to attack the Wei army in the north and south at the same time.
After a period of coldness, a military commander stood up and said loudly: "I, General Ji Weihu, is looking at the horse. I agree with the decision of General Tiger and the Fifth Prince. And ask General Tiger for battle! I will garrison Dali and never let the Qin army take advantage of it in the slightest. ”
As soon as there was an uproar, another general stood up and shouted loudly: "I, Chen He, on behalf of the Third Army, resolutely support General Hu and the Fifth Prince. I also ask General Tiger for war! Please send me to the Yin Jin. I am in Yin Jin, and I will never let the Qin army step half a step towards Yin Jin. ”
This can be said to be a flower that attracts thousands of flowers, and more than forty generals are scrambling to stand up and express their attitudes, all supporting Wei Hu and Wei Yi, and everyone is asking for war!
Wei Hu was very happy, he stood up and said loudly: "Okay! As long as we are united, there is nothing we cannot overcome. Since all the generals support me and the fifth prince, then I believe that we will definitely drive the Qin army out of Hexi within two years! Now, I command! ”
The generals who were in a crowd of indignation, as soon as they heard the words "I order", there was a chaotic sound of armor, and everyone stood up in an uproar, and dozens of people all acted in unison to Wei Hu after beating his chest with one hand, and shouted in unison: "Duty, listen to orders!" ”
Wei Hu's majestic voice ordered: "First Army Marshal, Ten Seasons!" ”
Xun Ji and his lieutenant immediately replied with their heads held high: "The First Army is here." ”
Wei Hu glared at him and shouted, "The First Army will rush to Jingshan to garrison within two days. The lieutenant general Xun Ji commanded the south of Weishui, and the matter of anti-Qin was carried out. Your mission: to block the Qin army south of Weishui! Keeping Jingshan is victory. ”
After beating his chest with one hand at the same time, Xun Ji and his lieutenant general shouted: "Keep Jingshan and block the south of Weishui of the Qin army." ”
After Wei Hu nodded, he shouted again: "Marshal of the Third Army, Chen He!" ”
Chen He and his lieutenant immediately returned with their heads held high: "The Third Army is here." ”
Wei Hu glared at him and shouted: "The Third Army will rush to Linjin Pass to garrison within two days. Lieutenant General Chen He commanded Hedong and fought against Qin. Your mission is: to hold the Linjin Pass and keep the ferries to the west and east of the river! Keeping the ferry is a victory. ”
Chen He and his lieutenant saluted their chests with one hand at the same time, and shouted: "Keep the ferry and defend Linjin Pass." ”
Wei Hu smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "I personally lead the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth, and tenth armies to defend Dali. ”
The six commanders of the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Armies, along with their lieutenants, immediately returned with their heads held high and in unison: "Obey the order!" Vowed to intercept the Qin army under Dali City. ”
Wei Hu didn't wait for the generals to fall, and then ordered loudly: "Where is Wei Yi?" ”
Wei Yi thumped Wei Hu's chest with one hand and shouted, "Job." Always at the command of the general! ”
Wei Hu ordered: "You lead the rest of the armies and garrison the royal city!" As a mobile army, it is ready to support all localities. Then he is responsible for dispatching grain and grass and baggage in various places, and is responsible for recruiting and training 200,000 new troops! ”
Wei Yi and the remaining dozens of generals gave Wei Hu a one-handed chest beating salute, and then returned in unison: "Yes!" Obey General Hu's order: Garrison the royal city! As a mobile army, it is ready to support all localities. Then he is responsible for dispatching grain and grass and baggage in various places, and is responsible for recruiting and training 200,000 new troops! ”
Wei Hu pressed his hand and ordered majestically: "Sit down!" The generals sat down with a loud noise. Wei Hu looked at the generals and smiled with satisfaction: "After the armies go back, clean up immediately, and we will withdraw to Dali and Wangcheng tomorrow." However, tomorrow I will send the 120,000 troops to guard the royal city, under the leadership of the fifth prince, for the queen! ”
