。。。 I plan to write several lines of Dizhou, Jinling, and Goryeo together, and push them together. I will strive to write well, but if my classmates feel that it is scattered, please give criticism and comments, and I will revise it. . .

——

The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and the city is about to be destroyed.

Chahan changed his plan and no longer sought to relieve the siege of Juye, but took the capture of Dizhou and the invasion of Yidu as the focus of the war at this stage. On the other hand, Wang Baobao was used to contain the main force of Yidu, so as to create a good opportunity for the emptiness within Yidu, and at the same time, to launch the hidden piles in ambush in South Korea, so as to echo each other from afar, and strive to cut off the reinforcements from Haidong. A variety of means are used, it is really like Mount Tai pressing the top, pressing towards Deng She.

And in Yidu City, Deng She still didn't know all this. As far as Ruodizhou City, the basis of Luo Guoqi's defense is still only the assumption that there are more than 10,000 enemies coming. In Jinling City, Fang Congzhe has been here for many days, and on this day, he was finally summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But before meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, Fang Congzhe was first introduced into a side room. There are several people sitting in the room, all of them are Confucian well-dressed, old or young, ugly and handsome. One of them stood up and asked, "Where did the guest come from?" ”

"Thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of miles. From the philosophy is from Yidu. ”

"Thousands of miles away, what is the matter with coming to Jinling?"

"Feng Yan Wang's letter, please read it to Wu Guogong."

"Which Yan King?"

"The whole world is not the king's land; The shore of the land is not the king's minister. May I ask Your Excellency, in this world, is there a second Yan King? ”

"Bring me the letter and let me see it."

"May I ask the gentleman's name?"

"Chuzhou Fan Chang."

"It turns out that Your Excellency is Fan Ziquan, who has admired his name from Zhejiu. In the past, when the Duke of Wu Guogong got Chuzhou, he heard that His Excellency had a staff to advise the military gate, and he faced a strategy, saying: 'Although Chuzhou is good, after all, it is a mountain city; The boat is not passable, the business travel is not gathered, and there is no danger to defend, and it is not a place to stay for a long time. Because of the admonition that Wu Guogong attacked Hezhou.

"Wu Guogong calculates from Your Excellency and takes Hezhou. Both take and state, and do not fight. Your Excellency also admonished Wu Guogong, saying, 'How can it be great to get a city and make people lose their livers and brains?' Therefore, Wu Guogong rebuked the generals, searched for the women plundered by the army, and returned them to their homes. The people are happy.

"Wu Guogong also ordered Your Excellency to pray to God, and Your Excellency waved his pen to make a statement, in which it was written: 'If Yuanzuo is not over, then the heroes should be subdued as soon as possible. A certain is also in the group, please start with a certain one. If you are tired of Yuande, those who have the destiny of heaven should return to it, and there will be no danger for the people for a long time. This is the most rustic truth!

"Your Excellency's name has long been admired by Zhe."

If you want to be a good lobbyist, the first condition is to "know yourself and your opponent".

Before Fang Congzhe came to Jinling, he had made great efforts to understand Zhu Yuanzhang's character and the deeds of the Jinling ministers. Fan Chang is one of the more famous people under Zhu Yuanzhang, so Fang Congzhe is very familiar with him, and in a few words, he pointed out several of his proudness.

Fan Chang is relatively simple, and after listening to Fang Congzhe's praise, he didn't have a smug look, and said modestly: "Under my lord's command, there are many capable people. Dingyuan Li and Hu have a lot of plans; Gaoyou Wang Chaozong, honest and respectful. Outstanding as Mr. Four, good at arguing like Sun Borong. Zhu Yunsheng outlined the leader, and the pottery lord respected the loyal elders. These are all outstanding among the civil ministers, and the military ministers are as bright as the stars, and there are countless of them.

"General Xu Da is concise and thoughtful, and he gives the same order, and shares the joys and sorrows with his subordinates, so he is the best he wants; Huaiyuan often encounters spring, Shen Yu is resolute, and is good at soothing soldiers, so he is defeated and has not tasted defeat. There are also Haozhou Tang, Geng, Gu Shi, Guo Xing, Chen De, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Dingyuan Liangfeng, Wu's Kunzhong, Hua Yunlong, Lan Yu, Chaoxian Erliao, Sizhou Hu Tongfu, and other generals, all of whom are brave.

"It's just a lot of things, why worry about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang is a native of Haozhou, so most of his cronies are from Haozhou, such as Xu Da, Tang He, Geng Bingwen, etc., all of whom are from Haozhou. Including Dingyuan, it also belongs to Haozhou. That is to say, "Dingyuan Liangfeng, Wu's Kunzhong", Feng Guoyong, Feng Guosheng, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen and others are also Zhu Yuanzhang's fellow countrymen. These people are Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man. However, Feng Guoyong died of a violent illness in the army last year.

"Dingyuan Li and Hu" refers to Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong. Although there are Wenchen under Zhu Yuanzhang everywhere, the head of Wenchen is still his hometown.

"Wang Chaozong" is talking about Wang Guangyang. The "four gentlemen" are Liu Ji, Song Lian, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yi, all four of whom are from Zhejiang. "Sun Borong" is Sun Yan, a well-known debater, and Liu Ji was persuaded by him to go out of the mountain to join Zhu Yuanzhang. "Zhu Yunsheng" is Zhu Sheng, who put forward to Zhu Yuanzhang the nine words of "accumulating grain, building a high wall, and slowly becoming king", which laid the foundation for today's situation in Jinling.

And "Tao Zhujing" refers to Tao An. In fact, Tao An's age is not very old, and he is only in his thirties now, but he has the style of an elder, and he is very loyal and simple.

In a few words, Fan Chang not only showed modesty, but also subtly boasted about Jinling's strength.

Fang Congzhe first sent an envoy to Songjiang and then to Datong, and it can be said that the experience of the envoy is already very rich. Of course, the intention of Fan Chang's words is clear, it is nothing more than showing off the strength of his country.

Implication: No matter what you came to Jinling for, whether you have something to ask for, or negotiate an alliance, my Jinling's strength is like this, very powerful, you don't want to use power to oppress people, say something like "your Yan Wang", "my Wu Guogong" and the like. Let's give you a disadvantage, so as not to lose the initiative in the conversation that is about to begin. This is an old routine, Fang Congzhe smiled.

"Jinling is indeed a group of virtuous people, but it's a pity that ,......。"

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that I don't know how to be polite."

"What do you mean by that?"

"King Yan's letter was addressed to Wu Guogong. Your Excellency is just a courtier of Wu Guogong, how dare you take the initiative to ask for a letter to watch? ”

Fan Chang was honest, ashamed when he heard the words, he was very ashamed, he didn't know how to answer, he had nothing to say for a while, and retreated to the seat and sat down. He retreated, not to mean that others were convinced, and another person stood up, stared at Fang Congzhe, didn't speak first, and looked up with a burst of laughter.

Fang Congzhe knew that this person's laughter was very famous. This is called "preemptiveness". He didn't speak, he laughed first, if Fang Congzhe asked him why he was laughing according to common sense? It's passive. So Fang Congzhe didn't say anything, just pursed his lips and looked at him, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

Everyone in the room sat on the seat, in different postures, some half-lying, some drinking tea, some tapping their fingers on the desk, and some sitting upright, but their eyes were all focused, all focused on the person who had just stood up and Fang Congzhe. But seeing that the two of them were opposed, one looked up and laughed, and the other pursed his lips and smiled.

The sunlight outside casts in, elongating their shadows, and the shadows of various utensils are also reflected in the shadows, swaying and swaying. Lang Lang's constant laughter entered the hospital; And there is a cool breeze blowing in the courtyard, and the fragrance of flowers fills the nose.

……

The four fields are green, the fragrance of flowers and grass is mixed together, and the fragrance of the earth makes people feel refreshed.

Outside the city of Dizhou, on the vast and fertile field, Luo Guoqi, Ji Zongzhou and others rode lightly and walked lightly, inspecting the camps built on the two highlands respectively.

Because only 500 people were needed to garrison these two camps, the area of the building was not large, and the manpower and materials were sufficient, and the construction progress was very fast. It's almost finished.

Due to the time constraints, most of the materials used in the construction of the two barracks were wood, in the shape of wooden fences, and a small amount of masonry and peat was used.

Both camps have an octagonal appearance.

The terrain on the highlands is relatively undulating, so the walls standing on it are also concave and convex, quite like a fortress. There are more than a dozen corners in the whole camp, and these protruding corners are certainly the target of attack, but it is also easier to get fire support from nearby corners, which is more advantageous than the defense of a rectangular city, which is conducive to organizing firepower, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can maximize the strength of 500 people.

And because the terrain is used, the amount of construction will be much smaller. It would be very difficult to build a rectangular city on this kind of terrain.

The walls are not very high, only more than a zhang.

Two doors were opened, one in front and one in the back. Going out through the back door, a short walk, there are two smaller camps. These two camps are used for counterattacks, and when the war comes, a small number of soldiers will also be stationed in them, all of whom are the elite of the elite. Luo Guoqi called it a "pawn", and at the same time called the soldier in charge of guarding the camp a "pawn". When encountering the enemy's situation, the "soldiers" attacked; The "guards" guarded the camp.

In the camp, the two main camps are divided into three parts.

The core part of the middle is square, which is convenient for stationing troops and hoarding supplies; The exit part of the two gates is rectangular, which is conducive to the movement of soldiers; The rest of the building, like the exterior of the camp, is zigzag.

With this structure, even after being breached, it will be difficult for the enemy to expand the battle within the fortress. For the road inside the camp is not straight, but roundabout. If the enemy enters, he will fall into a difficult situation and will be easily intercepted by the guards in sections. And at the same time, Luo Guoqi also set some traps on these tortuous roads. For example, after entering a certain section of the road, there can be a jack gate in front and back, and the guards can shoot arrows condescendingly, or throw in firewood and oil, and burn them with fire. Moreover, because the middle part is square, the general in charge of the command can also send reserves to support in time depending on the battle situation in various parts of the battalion.

These two fortifications on high ground were not very large, but if used properly, five hundred men were enough to withstand several times the enemy's attack. As long as the enemy is unable to completely uproot these two fortifications, then it is inevitable that their attack on Dizhou will not be able to concentrate all their forces.

Judging from the defense of Dizhou alone, if the enemy is really only more than 10,000 people, maybe Luo Guoqi can really rely on the echo of these two camps to hold out for about ten days.

After inspecting the two camps, Luo Guoqi and Ji Zongzhou urged the horses down to the plain. Luo Guoqi raised his whip and pointed, looked back at the high place, asked Ji Zongzhou, and said, "Ji Gong, what do you think of these two camps?" ”

"The great man has both civil and military skills, and he is well versed in the way of offense and defense. With these two battalions here, my Dizhou city will be impregnable. ”

"To be able to build such two strong fortifications, to tell the truth, it is not the work of one person. The boys who came out of the Pyongyang Martial Arts School really gave me a lot of ideas and put forward a lot of good opinions. The army called them 'Yanwang protégés', and sure enough, famous teachers made high apprentices. Compared with them, I really feel like I am old! A ragged colt may make a good horse. The afterlife is terrible, and I am declining. Ha ha. ”

"Adults are too humble. Young people are motivated and driven, and that's good. But after all, they are inexperienced, and this time they are guarding Dizhou, and those who are at the helm and grasp the direction of the overall situation still have to be adults. ”

Luo Guoqi has several changes in the army. was first forced to "become a thief", from a weak scholar to a thousand households leading soldiers; Then attach yourself to Deng She and achieve high positions. In the end, he was originally a Confucian son, but he wanted to return to civilian work. On behalf of Haidong, he made two envoys, and also did a few things to govern the people and govern the government, but when he turned around, now in Dizhou, he still has not been able to get rid of the fate of leading the army to fight.

This may also be a helplessness of Confucian scholars and scribes in troubled times. It's just that Luo Guoqi's leadership this time is different from before. If he was forced to be helpless before, he had to fight with a group of rude men and fight on the battlefield; Then this time, he is quite like a "Confucian general" and the like, commanding suave.

Since ancient times, if the generals who lead the army are illiterate and do not read poetry, even if they are brave and good at fighting, they will eventually get the title of "brave man" at most, and it is great to say "brave champion of the three armies". But if the literati lead the way, it would be different to add the word "Confucianism". As Ji Zongzhou praised, this is called "both civil and military". is like Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms, "the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu". The grade is completely different.

Therefore, despite the danger of being pressed by a strong enemy, after listening to Ji Zongzhou's flattery, Luo Guoqi, who wanted to be a civil servant and worthy of his family, still couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Geese flew in the sky, and military flags fluttered in the highlands.

A group of several people stood on the plain, looking down from the sky, they were so small. The laughter was blown away by the wind and spread far away over the verdant fields.

……

Jinling City, Wu Guogong Mansion, side indoor.

The laughter was endless.

But compared to the beginning, the laughter was noticeably a little lacking.

The person who laughed had been laughing for half an hour, but because no one had been cheering him on, he couldn't stop, and he couldn't help but be powerless. He secretly complained, and the eyes that were originally looking at Fang Congzhe gradually turned into pleading, blinking again and again, as if to say: "Brother, you always open your mouth and give a word." ”

Fang Congzhe's smile remained unchanged, but he just stood with his hands in his hands, looking at him, and still refused to speak.

Everyone on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, coughed, and said, "Lord Yang, why are you laughing?" ”

The person who laughed seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, hurriedly stopped laughing, and sent a grateful look to the person who helped him out of the siege, relieved, and hurriedly said: "This official laughs, not for anything else, but because of this envoy laughs." ”

According to common sense, Fang Congzhe should ask at this time: "What is so ridiculous about me?" But Fang Congzhe still didn't ask, he just looked at him and smiled slightly. The person who helped the laughing person out of the siege before had no choice, so he had to follow up and ask: "May I ask Lord Yang, I don't know what is ridiculous about this envoy?" ”

That's the right thing to do. The person who was laughing raised his head, straightened his chest, contracted his dantian, gathered his middle qi, and was about to speak, when Fang Congzhe suddenly asked, "May I ask the name of Mr.?" ”

"I ,......。 I! The man was caught off guard. Fang Congzhe asked, and the question was very reasonable, asking his name. When two people talk, they always have to know who the other person is. He couldn't ignore it, and in desperation, he had to swallow his words, exhale, and answer Fang Congzhe, saying, "Yang Xian in Xiataiyuan." ”

"I heard that there are two Yangs in Taiyuan, the elder brother is talented, and the middle brother is clear. It turns out that Your Excellency is Yang Xiwu. ”

Yang Xian, the word Xiwu; He has a younger brother named Yang Xisheng. Both brothers are talented and famous, and now they are both working under Zhu Yuanzhang. In particular, Yang Xian, who is well-versed in history, has talent and debate, is sharp in adjudicating public affairs, and is very talented, which is deeply used by Zhu Yuanzhang. It's just that he has a mean personality, specializes in fighting, has little weight, and is keen on power. More importantly, he is still serving in the inspection institute in Jinling, and is an important leader in it. Therefore, he did not have much popularity in Jinling, and most of the officials either despised him as a person and disdained him to associate with him, or they were very jealous of him because of his position.

It was also because of this that he laughed for a long time, but no one was willing to relieve him for a long time.

What kind of place is the Jinling "Inspection Institute"? Similar to the Haidong General Administration, it is a secret agency. It's just that the Haidong General Administration Department is mainly aimed at the outside, while the Jinling Inspection Institute focuses on the inside. His real name is "Gongwei Division", which was set up by Zhu Yuanzhang a long time ago to monitor, investigate, and suppress the illegal acts of officials. This is actually the predecessor of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, and the officials who served in it were all Zhu Yuanzhang's cronies and civil and military, and they were called "inspection schools", including "rumors", which can also be "heard".

Yang Xian was in office during this period, and his personality was very harsh, so it is not surprising that he is not popular.

Listening to Fang Congzhe's words about the scene, Yang Xian regrouped, gathered his strength again, and raised his head again and laughed again. This time, he learned wisely, laughed twice, and didn't expect anyone to ask again, so he stopped his voice, his face was straight, and said, "Fang Envoy,......。 As soon as the tirade began, Fang Congzhe seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly interjected again, saying: "Mr. Kunzhong's name, from Zhe is like thunder. It is a privilege to meet Mr. today. But there is a question, I want to ask Mr. ”

Yang Xian's face flushed, he forced the words down again, opened his eyes, and stared directly at Fang Congzhe, looking at him, as if he wanted to swallow it in one bite. This is not to blame him, the words that came out of his mouth were suppressed twice, which was really uncomfortable, and anyone who changed would inevitably get angry.

But Fang Congzhe said that the Jinling ministers are not polite, if they don't answer him, wouldn't they be even more down-to-earth? Therefore, Fang Congzhe asked, and Jinling must have an answer. Yang Xianqiang held back his anger, waved his sleeves, and said firmly: "What's the problem with the envoy?" Please say it. The official listened attentively. ”

Fang Congzhe looked at the banquet as if he had nothing to do, and asked with great interest: "I don't know Mr. Xisheng's younger brother, is Mr. Xisheng also here?" ”
