Chapter 134 The soldiers are coming to the city

Huo Guang also had to admit that for the example given by Dong Luwei, because there was indeed such a female general in history, and she was the queen of Wuding, the king of the Ming Dynasty in the Shang Dynasty. Later generations made a more objective evaluation of Wuding Zhongxing, on the one hand, the monarch Wu Ding was a talented Ming Jun, on the other hand, his outstanding performance in employing people, became an important factor in Wuding Zhongxing.

The most significant performance in employing people is the use of wall-building slaves to say that they are the prime ministers, and then they use their own queen's wife as generals. Whether it is directly using slaves as ministers or using women as generals, this is a historical precedent, and Wuding Zhongxing is a legend in history.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it." Huo Guang said death directly in one sentence, if the reason can't be explained, Huo Guang can only suppress people with power.

"Hmph, if it doesn't work, forget it." Dong Luwei said angrily, and no longer insisted on it, so she left angrily.

"Huh...... How can a subordinate have a bigger temper than me? Huo Guang looked at Dong Luwei's back and muttered in a funny whisper.

However, when Dong Luwei's footsteps gradually moved away, Huo Guang's expression slowly became serious, and then he whispered to himself: "This woman really has a problem, in this era, many ministers of the court and the central government may not know, if she is an ordinary person, how can she know so clearly?" ”

During the Wuding period of the Shang Dynasty, it was nearly a thousand years since the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, which is not something that ordinary civilians can know. If it weren't for the fact that Huo Guang happened to have some things about Wu Ding in his later memories, he would not have known that there was such a person as a woman in history. For this reason alone, Huo Guang absolutely didn't believe that Dong Luwei was an ordinary civilian woman.

Early in the morning of the second day, Huo Guang took the period gate army out of Huaixian with great fanfare, and if one thousand people and eight hundred people were not counted carefully, there would be no difference at a cursory glance, so no one knew that Huo Guang's team was actually only eight hundred people.

Dongfang Shuo and Li Ling stayed in Huai County, Huo Guang brought a few guests sent by Zhu Wu and Huo Quai, and Du Yannian, who was a civilian, walked with Huo Guang, because Huo Guang felt that sometimes one more person could help analyze it, and he could also make up for his own shortcomings.

The time when Huo Guang left Huai County was exactly the time when Gao Buzhi arrived in the state and county. Ever since the state and county were captured by the king, the city gates have been closed, and even the bazaar in the city has not been opened again, and now the people inside cannot get out, and the people outside cannot enter. As for the rich households in the city, this time it was completely ruined, the king stormed the county seat and killed the county officials, and then broke through several rich families in the city, and took all the gold, silver, jewelry, grain and other things for himself.

There is a terrifying atmosphere in the whole state and county, and the current situation of the common people is not bad, but there are also beginning to be cases of bandits looting the civilians, so now every household in the city is closed and dare not go out, but these people do not have much food in stock, and even if Wang Meng's bandits do not harm these civilians, they will be starved to death.

Originally, at the beginning, some of these civilians still supported the bandits, and some even took the initiative to pay food to fund the bandits, but now these people are beginning to look forward to the court army coming earlier, although the tyranny of Wang Wenshu was also full of complaints, but after all, the people who were implicated were mainly rich and powerful, and these civilians did not suffer any crime after all, and now the bandits have made them really feel the threat of death, and it is normal to have this kind of change.

Huo Guang rode a horse and walked in front of the army, today he did not wear leather armor, he was still wearing a regular uniform, wearing the cloak prepared for him by Li Yan outside, holding the reins in his hand and hanging the sword that Huo Qu gave him when he was sick. In the wind and snow, Huo Guang's image is a little out of place with the entire army, but as the commander of the first army and the supreme decision-maker of all things in Hanoi, Huo Guangyuan did not plan to go into battle to kill the enemy himself, and his identity and role were different from those of a real military general like Huo Qubing from the beginning.

Huo Guang could only outwit his troops, and it was impossible for him to personally charge to boost morale. In fact, there are many such coaches in history, the most famous is Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty, to say that Han Xin can't charge into battle, but when it comes to marching and fighting, it seems that he has nothing that he can't win. This kind of person is usually called a wise general by later generations, Huo Guang can't be a brave and invincible general, he can only work hard to make himself a wise general.

Just when Huo Guang led his troops out of Huai County, Gao Buzhi had already brought two hundred soldiers disguised as bandits to the county seat of Zhouxian County. According to the deployment of early Huo Guang's departure, Gao Buzhi deliberately went around to the north gate of the state and county, which was opposite to the direction of Huai County. ( Pingnan Romance)

"I am a tall Taihang Mountain, I heard that General Wang occupied the state and county and came to take refuge, these are brothers who were born and died with me, and I also asked General Wang to come out to see him." Gao Buzhi stood under the north gate of the state and county and shouted, these were naturally made up by him. The northern part of Hanoi County is the Taihang Mountains, in which there are many bandits, Gao does not know the name casually, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the false.

The gate of the county seat was closed, and soon someone told the news to Wang Meng, who was drinking and having fun in the county government of Huaixian County. As soon as he heard that nearly 200 people had come to take refuge in him, Wang Meng didn't think about whether it was true or not, but felt that he was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the north gate with his leaders and hundreds of prisoners to see Gao Buzhi.

People like Wang Meng just seized the opportunity, and it was difficult to achieve great things in the end, and now a little achievement is the time when his ** swells, what he thinks about is nothing more than to expand his power, capture more cities, and be king like Chen Dale. In addition, there were only 200 people in Gao Buzhi, so Wang Meng subconsciously relaxed his vigilance.

When Wang Meng saw that Gao Buzhi brought these two hundred people to be strong one by one, he was even more overjoyed, and shouted in his heart that God would help me. After a simple conversation, Wang Meng believed Gao Buzhi's statement, and the two looked like they hated each other, and then they entered the county seat together as brothers.

Wang Meng naturally greeted Gao Buzhi and his party with good wine and meat, because Gao Buzhi joined, Wang Meng's confidence swelled, and he had already begun to discuss with his subordinates to attack Yewang County. However, Wang Meng's good thoughts backfired, because before he could organize his army and march towards Yewang, news came that Huo Guang was approaching the state and county.

"Report ...... General, Anyang Jun Huo Guang led his troops to fight. Although Wang Meng didn't have much wisdom, he still knew how to set up a sentry near the state and county, and at this time, Huo Guang was still more than twenty miles away from the county seat, so the sentry came to report first.

Of course, this was actually Huo Guang's intention, these sentinels did not escape Huo Guang's probe at all, but he ordered these people to be released so that he could report to Wang Meng in advance.

"How many men did he take?" Wang Meng was also shocked in his heart, and most of his drunkenness suddenly went away. After all, they are a rabble, and they have not yet gone through a real battlefield battle, and in the face of the imperial army with a righteous name, these people are still psychologically cowardly.

"Back to the general, it seems that there are thousands of people? Presumably, Huo Guang is out of the nest. The sentry replied that Wang Meng did not call himself a king, but he still let his subordinates call himself a general, which was considered to be an addiction to being an official.

Now the bandits in Hanoi already know Huo Guang better, at least they know that he is An Yangjun of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he is the highest decision-maker in Hanoi today, and they also know that he is the younger brother of the hussar general Huo Quai, and this time he brought a thousand Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's personal guards to the gate army.

"This ...... What can I do? I heard that the Qimen army is the emperor's personal guard, and each of them can fight tigers and leopards with bare hands, what should we do? Not only Wang Meng was a little flustered, but even the leaders who followed Wang Meng were all in danger.

"General don't panic, after all, Huo Guang only has a thousand men and horses, and they are all cavalry. Although this state and county are not the best in the world, the city is also high and thick, as long as we defend the city, then the thousands of people in Huoguang District can't help us. And now that the winter is harsh and cold, as long as it lasts for a few days, then Huo Guang will naturally withdraw if he can't attack it for a long time. Just when everyone was panicking, Gao Buzhi came out and said unusually calmly.

As soon as he said this, these bandits were really relieved, and one by one they seemed to have found the backbone. Even Wang Meng attached more importance to Gao Buzhi, and was completely sure that this was a lucky general sent by God to help him achieve great things. So Wang Meng hurriedly asked: "Brother Gao, what do you think, say it quickly, as long as you can hold the state and county and repel Huo Guang, in the future, General Ben and Brother Gao will be on an equal footing." ”

"Thank you for the general's love, Gao immediately took refuge in the general, and naturally only the general is the first to look forward. As long as we divide our troops into four routes and send hundreds of people to defend the Sifang City Gate, then Huoguang has thousands of people and no siege equipment, so they can't attack the city at all. The subordinates are willing to lead their brothers to defend the south gate for the general. Gao Buzhi said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, as if he was really determined to follow Wang Meng. However, he looked down on Wang Meng and the others in his heart, and he turned Wang Meng and the others around in a few words, and even Gao Buzhi felt that this battle was too difficult.

"Okay, that's very good, then the south gate will ask Brother Gao, the two of you will take 200 people to guard the west gate, the two of you will take 200 people to guard the east gate, and the rest of the people will follow General Ben, and General Ben will personally go to guard the north gate." Wang Meng immediately ordered, and he couldn't ask for Gao Buzhi to take the initiative to guard the south gate. Because from Huai County to Zhou County, the first thing to arrive at is the South Gate, Huo Guang is likely to attack the South Gate, and the North Gate is the easiest, even if it is more convenient to escape the North Gate, which is why Wang Meng himself wants to go to the North Gate.

"I will live up to the general's trust" Gao Buzhi said with his fists cupped, and then resolutely turned around and left, falling in the eyes of others, they felt that this Gao Buzhi was really interesting enough, so anxious to stick to the city gate.

Then Wang Meng and others also gathered their men and horses to rush to the city gate, and at about this time, Huo Guang's team also came to the outside of the state and county, and Huo Guang could already see the city towers and city walls of the state and county from a distance.

"Your Majesty, I've seen it. A red cloth hangs from the north gate. "There is still some distance from the county seat, and at this time, a scout horse ran to Huo Guang to report. This was actually arranged by Huo Guang in advance, so that Gao Buzhi hung a red cloth on the tower of the city guard, and Gao Buzhi's words were actually instructed by Huo Guang before leaving, this is Huo Guang's calculation of Wang Meng and the others' psychology.

"Okay, since General Gao has occupied the north gate, then let's proceed as originally planned." Huo Guang said with a smile to the generals around him. As soon as he finished speaking, the team immediately divided into four, including three teams, each with more than one hundred and fifty people, and quickly headed towards the city gate in the other three directions, while Huo Guang still led the remaining soldiers to the north gate.
