Chapter Eighty-Seven: Be Confident
Zhang Jun was furious and reprimanded: "How rude are you, have you talked to Shangguan like this? ”
Seeing that Zhang Xian sneered slightly, not taking himself to heart at all, Zhang Jun was even more furious, and immediately brushed his sleeves and said: "Okay, I don't need me here, and I'll talk about it when I go back to Chang'an." ”
If he changed the military power in his hands, he would definitely order Zhang Xian to be taken down, and he had to retreat at this time.
Guo Hao saw that it was not a problem, so he had to turn his head and said in a low voice: "It's so close to the city, everyone should be careful." ”
He also said to Zhang Xian: "Zhang will be a pole, and Zhang will accompany the crime." ”
He is a senior soldier and a family of generals who have been in the army for generations, and Zhang Xian had to sell him a face and give up to Zhang Junyi.
persuaded the two to make peace, Guo Hao twisted his eyes to look at Yao Duan, only to see Yao Duan's expression, knowing that he also had no respect for Zhang Jun, the old boss, he knew that Yao Rui and Zhang Jun had turned their faces, and he was not surprised by the attitude of Yao Duan and others, but he was just strange in his heart, the emperor knew that Zhang Jun was incompetent, and he was at odds with Yao and Zhang, the two main generals, but he didn't know why he transferred this person from Hezhong Mansion.
If he had a clear understanding in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the clue, he sighed, glanced at Zhang Junhou, and asked Yao Duan with a smile: "General Yao, this city looks like this, I'm afraid it's a lot of deception." ”
Yao Duan also glanced at Zhang Jun, and then replied: "The head of the city is just the miscellaneous soldiers who coerced them from the people in the city to go to the city, and there are not even a few serious Han soldiers, but as soon as we get closer, the Jin soldiers are behind, the Han soldiers are in front, and the black pressure suddenly comes up with 10,000 people. ”
"Oh?" Guo Hao listened with great interest. In the face of a strong enemy several times stronger than the long base, the defenders in the city were still so calm. There is more than enough knives to save troops.
I can't help asking, "Who is the guard in the city?" ”
He was interested, but Yao Duan hated it, spit out a mouthful of saliva, and said hatefully: "I heard that what is the name of Wanyan Jiujin, it should be a distant branch of the Wanyan family." Evacuate Ba Alu to make up for a long time ago, even Han Chang, a Han general, did not come to carry the black cauldron of Taiyuan, and died under the city of Luoyang. ”
When he mentioned Yunzhong, Guo Hao remembered that he wanted to cut off the back road of Taiyuan, so he asked, "Who did you send to fight Yunzhong?" ”
Yao Duan turned his head and smiled, looked at Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian took a step forward and promised: "I sent the deputy commander Niu Gao of the last general." and brought three thousand men away. Yunzhong is close to his homeland, but the states of Xin, Dai, Shuo, and Wu have already fallen into my hands, and the northern border is far away, and the enemy is unable to take care of it for the time being, so it should be fine. ”
"Yes, General Niu is brave, there should be no problem."
Guo Hao praised it, raised his whip again, and said loudly to the city: "Which general is willing to lead soldiers and horses to call for battle!" ”
Although he had just listened to Yao Duan's explanation. After all, you have to see for yourself how the city reacts.
"The last will go!"
As soon as the words fell, a general behind Yao Duan flashed out and agreed in front of everyone.
"Okay, you're smart, which ministry is called Mingyu?"
The general's face was blue, the battlefield was murderous, and it was terrifying to watch, Guo Hao asked. He immediately replied: "The commander of the fifth battalion of the Third Army is Yang Zhi." Willing to serve the marshal. ”
"Okay, let's go!"
Yang Zhi promised. Immediately took more than 1,000 cavalry under his command and galloped towards the city.
The thunderous sound of hooves immediately alarmed the defenders at the head of the city, and the sparse guards stood up and began to stand lazily in front of the city plate, and some people began to examine their bows and arrows, and fired indiscriminately at the city.
It's just that when Yang Zhi ran to the city for more than 100 steps, the drums on the city were loud, and countless golden soldiers appeared with the Han army, and the stone throwing bed with strong bows and arrows was greeted by Yang Zhi's department, but fortunately, the city was full of cavalry, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned his horse's head and fled back to the place where Guo Hao and others were standing.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Yao Duan, Zhang Xian and the others turned pale, and they all felt that when they really attacked the city, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
When Yang Zhi came back out of breath, he first saw Shangguan's ugly face, and he was careful at the moment, and knelt down at Guo Hao's head first, and said with a red face: "The last general is incompetent, and before he reaches the trench under the city, he has already fled back to the enemy, please punish the chief marshal heavily." ”
Guo Hao smiled and said nothing, helped Yang Zhi up with his own hands, and only said: "The enemy has already made a slight claim, General Yang is not guilty, go down." ”
"Yes, thank you."
Although the coach said that there was nothing to do, Yang Zhi still retreated with a hint of unease. Yao Duan only said that Guo Hao gave him face as the main general, but when he saw that it was not like it later, he drove forward and asked Guo Hao: "The chief manager seems to be confident?" ”
"I'll talk about it later."
Guo Hao smiled and didn't answer, he hit the horse in front of him, looking at the camp and leaving.
Yao Duan and Zhang Xian glanced at each other, and after Zhang Jun also left, he followed the two bigwigs one after the other, and walked slowly towards the camp.
Zhang Xian was born to fight Han on the spot, and he never had anything to do, seeing Yao Duan's low face and thoughtful appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Yao Dalang, how can you look like a dead lady, what does it look like." ”
Yao Duan was unhappy in his heart, thinking that Zhang Junlai was in the way, and he was afraid that this battle would be difficult to fight. It's just that this is a big bump, and it's not easy to talk to Zhang Xian, so I have to answer with a smile: "General Manager Guo was the general of the army early on, and he just let the light cavalry sweep the formation until the city, I feel a little Meng Lang, I don't understand what he means." ”
Zhang Xian smiled indifferently, whipped the horse and said, "Qualifications." I don't think he's necessarily better than you and me, and compared with Han Dashuai and Yue Dashuai, he is even worse. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Guo can still fight."
"Hehe, how do you look at it, he is also a veteran oil, I heard that he is afraid of smashing his head when the leaves fall, and he is a person who never cares about things, slippery head. Such a person is likable, can you rest assured that the gang of bigwigs in the cardinal mansion are pleased. ”
Seeing that Yao Duan shook his head and was silent, Zhang Xian said again: "He is bent on learning from Guo Ziyi, but he may not be able to do it." ”
Yao Duan thought of Guo Hao's ordinary appearance, and it was indeed as Zhang Xian said, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Seeing that the soldiers around the two of them were also smiling, they couldn't help but put away their smiles, and shouted: "My words with General Zhang." If you're not afraid of death, just take it out and say it. ”
"What the general said, this is too underestimated." As soon as Yao Duan's voice fell, all the relatives and soldiers retorted, and they all said: "Are we traitors seeking glory?" ”
These two people are straight and have a temper, and the pro-soldiers around them are also so selected. is because the two of them can discuss it so bluntly, Yao Duan is just plain instructed, and when he sees everyone like this, he has nothing to say.
Speeding up the horsepower for a while, he didn't catch up with Guo Hao and the others, and when he arrived at the gate of the camp, there were only a lot of soldiers wrestling and lifting stones in the camp, and there were groups of three or five fencing and fighting knives, or small groups of queues to practice formations, looking from afar. The sand and rocks in the camp are flying. Piping hot.
Seeing Guo Hao's satisfied face, Yao and Zhang were also proud. They are all known for being good at assaulting formations, in fact, they also have their own set of leading troops, field drills day and night, Zhang Jun is famous for his subordinates in field battles in history, and Yao Duan's ability to train soldiers is the first achievement. And Zhang Xian is the first general under Yue Fei, Han has a tiger, Tang has Xuanjia, and Song has Yue's army, how can he be an idle person.
"The Flower Leg Army is really the elite of the army."
Guo Hao couldn't help but praise. But he whispered to Yao Duan: "Your Majesty doesn't like to embroider Junhan, just stab it now, don't stab it again in the future." ”
Yao Duanyizheng, Luo Junhan embroidery is a tradition in the army, Zhang Jun's subordinates all tattoo flowers on the legs to facilitate identification, why has it become a taboo now.
Seeing him Leng Zheng, Guo Hao also said with a bitter face: "I don't know the end of this matter." I just heard that His Majesty reprimanded. After the various departments lived from now on, they were strictly ordered to tattoo the soldiers. If there is a self-stabbing person, listen to it. ”
"Okay, this is not a big deal, just do as you are told."
The two of them delayed for a while, and when everyone arrived, they went to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army together, and dismounted and entered.
Guo Hao sat down in the main seat in the middle, Prime Minister Zhang Junzuo accompanied, and after the rest of the generals saluted, they also sat down one by one according to the military rank.
Zhang Xian had a straightforward temper, he couldn't bear it at first, and asked first: "The chief has seen our army's defense line, and has explored the enemy's reality and reality, I don't know if it can be successful, when and how to attack the city?" ”
His interrogation, although he seemed to be respectful, in fact, he asked the coach like this, and he didn't take Guo Hao seriously.
When it comes to etiquette, Zhang Xian naturally won't be embarrassed by Guo Hao, after all, the other party is an elder in the army and has a good reputation, so he won't embarrass the other party for no reason. It's just that today's sentry battle against Meng Lang made everyone fall into the clouds, and they always had to ask Chu to understand.
Guo Haojun was born in a family, grew up in the military camp as soon as he fell from his mother's womb, and when he was a little older, he worked as a direct guard in the palace.
I was quite angry in my heart, and seeing Zhang Xian's face as usual, he was calm and generous, knowing that this young general had no other motives purely because he had the ability to control the internal army, so he was angry and replied: "When I look at it today, I already know the truth and the enemy." ”
"Please show me the manager."
Guo Hao looked at the generals and asked Yao Duan first: "How many Han people are there in the city, how much food is there in the city, and what are the bows, arrows and guns and stones in the city?" ”
Yao Duan was stunned, not knowing why he suddenly asked about these details again, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "The last time the Jin soldiers besieged the city, Taiyuan could not be attacked for a long time, and after the city was broken, all the sergeants were killed in battle, and nearly 100 generals and officials were killed except for a few who were forced to surrender. The people of the city were also slaughtered, and there were few survivors. In the past two years, for the sake of Taiyuan, the enemy repaired the city and moved the people, but the day was too tragic, and the people in the city were less than 10,000 households, which was already very few. And the grain storage is less, Taiyuan City Di is small, there is no big warehouse, the grain storage can last up to three or four months, bows, arrows, artillery and stones, they were surrounded in a hurry, and it is not expected that there are many. ”
Guo Hao smiled and said, "So, there is no food in the city?" ”
"Yes, during the New Year, the city has run out of food, the people have no food, and the soldiers can only eat two meals a day, the portion is insufficient, after the year, the Han soldiers have begun to cook leather armor under the city to satisfy hunger, the smell is very widespread, we can all smell it, there is no fake."
Guo Hao laughed, and everyone said: "In this way, I am confident." ”
