60. The Two Sons Join Hands to Attack the Shore Gate (7)
A quarter of an hour later. Zisi called Zi Ji and said to Zi Ji: "Zi Ji! After thinking about it repeatedly, I thought: Poor people don't chase. What we are assessing is to attack the shore gate, and from the assessment point of view, we have already completed the assessment when we have knocked down the shore gate. Although we did not capture the main general and did not annihilate the 40,000 defenders, we completed the task after all, at least we did not disappoint the hopes of our father and teacher. But if we continue to enter the valley to pursue the Wei army after it is getting late, and are ambushed by the Wei army, even if we win, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. You know: battle damage is the most important criterion. So, I don't want to add to it. Ziji, order the army to camp! The lives of the sergeants are more important than our records. ”
Zisi's words stunned Ziji's words, and his heart jumped! Although Ziji didn't say anything after hearing this, Zisi knew that his words had touched his brother's heart. Although his younger brother likes to compete with himself, he still knows how important things are.
Sure enough, after some fierce struggle, Ziji finally spoke to his brother: "Prince! I understand your thoughts, and I know which is more important between the possibility of capturing the commander of the Wei army and the possibility of losing a large number of sergeants. Well, I agree with your decision. It's just -- alas, I really can't bear this Wei army commander in my heart -- ! ”
Zisi, it's time for Xiang to be an elder brother, patted Ziji's shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Ziji, we are still young, and we still have a lot of time, are you still afraid that you will not have great achievements?" If we really plunged into the valley, fell into the ambush of the Wei army, and accidentally sent our lives, we would never have a chance. ”
Ziji pursed his mouth and said in his heart: Is our luck so bad? I don't believe that the Wei army still dares to ambush in the valley, and it is too late for them to escape? But in his mouth, he said sincerely: "What the prince said is true." Zi Ji was taught. ”
This night. The two brothers were speechless. The next day. Before the hour came, the two brothers came to the valley with a large army. When he received a report from the military detectives: on both sides of the post, there were a large number of remnants of the activities of the Wei army. The two brothers immediately climbed up the hill to take a look! Zijian was really dumbfounded. He couldn't help but admire his brother's caution in his heart, if his brother hadn't stopped him last night, the 20,000 troops they had brought with him, looking at the formation, would have been lucky enough to go back.
At this time, Zisi, who was standing on the hill overlooking the distance, turned around and said to Ziji: "Ziji, I think the Wei army may have run away after seeing us set up camp last night. You can't catch up. Will we shore the doorknob? ”
Zijian didn't listen to anything, and immediately said, "Okay, let's go back to the camp." ”
The two sons returned to the shore gate and told the four lieutenants what had happened to them. The four lieutenants could not help but change their views on the two brothers. The two brothers didn't care, but after quickly handling and perfecting the affairs of the latter one, they handed over the bank gate to the new county commander of the county on the east bank of the Qinguo River, who came to take over, and the commanders of the 19th and 20th armies who were directly transferred to garrison, and then led the army to cross the river and return to Shaoliang.
Shaoliang County Office. It's still that hall, and those people are still sitting, and those people are still sitting like that. It's just that in less than half a month, the two sons have matured. The behavior and speech of the prince, especially when he talked about the attack on the shore gate, as soon as Ziji hit the north gate, he personally led the army to the south gate to help him open the south gate, and then the two brothers attacked together and fought fiercely with the Wei army. Qin Gong himself actually rolled out a tear of relief with joy.
After the prince talked about the entire battle of the shore gate, he actually gave the main credit to his younger brother, which surprised everyone! "The battle of the shore gate, the first achievement. His combination of inside and outside, his method of landing the city with a base car, broke through the north gate in one fell swoop. After breaking through the north gate, I am even more admired for the overall situation and the move of cooperating with friendly forces. If Zijian hadn't opened the south gate, I would have had to look at the south gate and sigh! Second, our army suffered 4,423 wounded and 1,600 killed; The army of Zi Ji suffered 3,600 wounded and only 964 killed. Zisi is still boasting about Ziji. Kezi was in a hurry, and without waiting for the prince to finish speaking, he hurriedly said, "That's not right." The prince led the army to cross the river earlier than our army, and touched the north gate sentry camp for our army, and responded to me leading the army to cross the river. Second, when I first met the Wei army, I fought hard with the Wei army regardless of my own strength; If it weren't for the two generals, Chen Xi and Ying Si, my life would have been suspended. More importantly, when pursuing the remnants of the Wei army, I was bent on capturing the main general of the Wei army, ignoring the fact that it was dark, the army was lacking, and the sergeants had been fighting fiercely for five hours, I just wanted to get a greater victory, and I ventured into the valley where there were already tens of thousands of Wei troops in ambush. I'm really going to be a sinner in the Qin Kingdom. Because the next day I climbed to the hill and saw that the Wei army had already made full preparations. The Wei army just didn't go down the mountain, but only threw stones down the mountain, which could kill and wound most of our sergeants. If I were the only one leading the pursuit, I wouldn't be able to see you all if I didn't say it. Therefore, the first and greatest merit of the Battle of Kianmen can only be the prince's. ”
At this time, from the serious demeanor of the two, Qin Gong saw the stubbornness of the two of them fighting for fallen leaves when they were children, so they felt even more cute. The people in the room laughed along with the dispute between the two brothers.
Zong Zhengling teased: "Since ancient times, there has only been merit, but today there are those who make merit." Hehe! It's an eye-opener, it's an eye-opener. ”
After hearing this, Ziji's face turned straight, and he arched his hand and said, "Zongzheng Order!" Although you are my uncle, you have never fought, so you do not know the feelings of the battlefield. Before the war, I still wanted to compete with the prince, for fear of losing face to the prince. But once I went to the battlefield and saw the sergeants in the army I led who had died and been wounded in vain, I understood: If you fight for merit, you will lose, and if you fight for war, you will win. When people go to the battlefield, they know that family affection is on the top! ”
The crown prince immediately stood up and supported Zijizi's statement.
After hearing the words of the two brothers, Qin Gong suddenly stood up, and left the hall excitedly, hugging the two sons in his arms. The affection of father and son melted into words and asked: "Today, you two brothers have joined hands to knock down the shore gate, which makes the widow really happy!" When the widow was very happy, the widow suddenly thought of the two of you when you were a child, picking and correcting the peach leaves. Hey, do you two remember the peach leaf dispute when you were kids? ”
