CHAPTER XLIV

"I don't know, don't mind what I just said, I'm just telling the truth, it may be a little straight and a little hurtful. ”

"General Lu is polite, if the last general may think so, the last general is originally shallow, I hope you don't dislike it, listen to the idea of the last general, the last general's idea is not mature, and I hope that you can criticize and correct. ”

Cheng Buzhichong, the governor Li Desheng, and the generals bowed and saluted.

"Okay, I don't know, now is not the time to be polite, now the matter is urgent, you say your idea first, apologize and talk about it later. Li Desheng's impatient stroke did not know how to wave his hand.

"Okay, then the general will continue. Just now, the last general said that he might have provoked an important person in the Beiyu royal court, so King Youxian hurriedly came to retaliate.

As a result of our years of fighting with the Northern Cavalry, the Northern Cavalry despised us to the extreme, and they would never have imagined that we would dare to take the initiative, and this time only the Right Xian Wang's troops attacked, and their troops were only more than 20,000 people. ”

"Isn't it safe for us to defend the city?" asked one of the generals with a chuckle.

"But if we stick to Tongguan, they are very likely to bypass Tongguan, go around the capital, and loot in Gyeonggi. ”

As soon as Cheng Buzhi's voice fell, the commotion in the hall suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their heads to each other. Cheng Buzhi's ears were buzzing, all of which were "idiots talking about dreams" and "impossible", "but what should I do?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please let me speak. Cheng Buyi stretched out his hands and pressed down, but the buzzing was still there.

Li Desheng didn't say anything, he swept down with a cold face, most of the people were quiet, but there were still people who were noisy there, he just looked at the one who said the most happy, his face was blue with a cold face, and he stared at it so quietly. The general suddenly found that the people around him were suddenly silent, and the person who was talking to him on the other side lowered his head, and the people next to him stared at him, and when he looked back, he found that the governor Li Desheng was staring at him with a blue face. Although he didn't know what mistake he had made, seeing that the Governor was obviously angry, he still didn't want to make trouble, and hurriedly sat down and lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Li Desheng, not even peeking.

Li Desheng didn't say anything, and glanced at Cheng Buzhi.

Cheng Buzhi threw a grateful expression at Li Desheng, Li Desheng smiled imperceptibly, and then nodded. Cheng Buzhi has a score in his heart, and the Governor supports him.

"We have no way out, we lost so badly this time, all the way to Tongguan, the only good news is that we don't know the ministry to set up, there is no new great merit, the emperor will not blame? That's why I said I'd better take the initiative, but don't you say?"

"What General Cheng said is extremely true, General Cheng might as well say it directly, please continue. Seeing that his old opponent Lu Zhuo's generals interjected and choked themselves, Lu Zhuo seemed to be secretly mocking himself, and Wu Ping, the general of Pingyu, felt very uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten what happened in the previous dynasty? The Mongols once entered our Central Plains, and they bypassed Tongguan to attack the capital, can we afford this consequence? We have 200,000 border troops in Tongguan, brave and good at fighting, as long as we ambush well, we will not be able to destroy the 20,000 people of the Northern Capture Right Xian King, even the iron cavalry will let them all be broken into slag. You can only ask God for blessing when you retreat, but entering us is the only great victory of my Rose Empire for decades, and the real great victory is just around the corner. ”

Saying that, Cheng Buzhi couldn't help but be excited, and waved his fist fiercely.

"No, then you can tell me your plan. Governor Li Desheng said lightly.

"Yes, Lord Doge. The idea of the last general is this, here, "Cheng Buzhi pointed to a canyon on the map, "give the last general 6,000 men and horses, the last general will ambush above this canyon, cut off the right Xianwang from the middle, the governor and the generals can lead the army to ambush at the exit of the canyon, and form a pocket." ”

"How can you be sure that the Beiyu people will definitely take this road? If they don't, what if we concentrate most of our troops in an ambush and lose Tongguan?"

"General Wu, please rest assured, this place is the closest road to the station of the Right Xian Wang, if you detour, it will take dozens of more days, with the pride of the people in the north, they will not take us to heart, they are here to retaliate to make up for their mistakes, they must be anxious, so there is no doubt that they will go here. Moreover, our scouts have found out the news, and the Right Virtuous King will go this way!"

All the generals in the hall asked Cheng to be cautious, strict in governing the army, and extremely emotional, this matter is related to the innocence of his brothers, and it is also a matter of his own net worth and life, he does not dare to lie. Although everyone knows that Cheng Buzhi exaggerated the enemy situation at the beginning, when they heard this, they all felt that the victory was in their hands, and who couldn't get along with the credit.

As everyone knows, Cheng Buzhi's palms are sweaty, so he keeps clenching his fists to hide his nervousness. On the way to the governor's palace, he figured out that he had to exaggerate the hostile situation to attract the attention of the superiors, so as to save his brothers from resentment.

He doesn't remember when he heard or watched it, it seems to be the story of "The Emperor of the Ruzi", when he was a child, his father was very emotional, he couldn't understand, he was thinking about how to make everyone agree, and suddenly thought of this sentence: "People can't be selfish enough to think that others can not be selfish." ”

There must be interests for the officials to be willing and willing to take this risk, so first exaggerate the enemy situation to make them panic, and then lead to the need to attack, when they see the possibility of victory, I don't believe that the officials are not moved.

It turned out that he succeeded, but what he didn't know was that the northern captives who had lied about the report might attack tomorrow, but the northern captives were really preparing to attack tomorrow.

His plan is to lure the right Xianwang to attack the day after tomorrow, he knows well that the northern army is scattered, even if there is a threat, the opening of this army, marching, ambushing, and marching at night, to be arranged, I am afraid that it will take a day and a night, and it must be ** officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's hurry up, if the northern captives attack tomorrow, our department is not prepared in advance, I'm afraid the hunter and the prey will be reversed. Cheng Buzhi stepped forward and clenched his fists and said.

"You kid, don't you just want to accept your troops as soon as possible, this governor will write you a warrant, and this governor will give you another order arrow, only this battle can be used, this governor and below, you can negotiate scheduling, oh, take it. Governor Li Desheng scolded with a smile, and took out an arrow from the barrel of arrows on the desk, there are only two arrows, only the governor, the assistant governor (that is, the deputy governor) has, because there is no assistant governor for the time being, and the governor Li Desheng has been entangled between Lu Zhuo, the general of the expedition to the north, and Wu Ping, the general of the capture.

Li Desheng twisted his face, "Jokes are jokes, before the war, it will be a little more brisk, but if it arrives before three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, everything will be fine; if anyone can't arrive on time, three o'clock in the afternoon will really wait for three o'clock in the afternoon! Tonight, after an hour, let the soldiers have a full meal." ”

Li Desheng had a smile on his face, but his voice was so cold that it made people tremble, everyone knew that this smiling tiger was real.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire Tongguan City began to be in chaos, and the smoke of cooking rose everywhere in the middle of the night, and the people in the city were not restless, and they were worried about whether it was the northern captives who called.
