Chapter 431: Spectating the Battle
"Defending as an offense?" Mingwei looked at him in surprise, "What are you guys doing?" ”
Yang Shucai came back from Zong Xu and talked to her about it in detail.
"Thanks to you for picking up Guo Xiangye and coming back, I didn't have a clue yet!"
He explained: "The teacher didn't think about it at first, and he just had to stick through these three months. He believes that the Hu people have just ended the civil war, the internal contradictions have not been resolved, and Sutu's throne as the lord of Hu is not stable. At this time, if you can give them a heavy blow, you can make the beard that has not yet fused disintegrate in an instant, and even it will not be able to become a climate in the future. ”
Mingwei thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "General Zong is far-sighted. But we only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and we have encountered several avalanches on this snow march, and even fought a hard battle, against the 20,000 elites of the Shanghu people, no matter how you think about it, there is no chance of winning, right? ”
"Holding on to it seems like the safest option, but it's not that reliable. As the defenders, we can't make a mistake, as long as a loophole is caught, Sutu's 20,000 iron horsemen will drown us. ”
I don't know much about war, but it sounds very reasonable.
Yang Shu continued: "The Hu soldiers and horses have been here for two days, and we have also watched for two days and found an interesting thing. ”
"What?"
"They are actually made up of several tribes, and they are distinct from each other."
Ming Wei said: "Isn't this strange? Originally, it was a combination of eight departments, and if Su Tu only brought the snow wolf department over, he would have no manpower to guard the royal court. ”
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There is room for maneuver." ”
Ming Wei thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "You want to pit Guo Xiangye to make a divisive plan!" ”
"That's right!" Yang Shu laughed, "So, did you pick it up in time?" Otherwise, we really can't find a candidate. ”
Mingwei was such a habitual deception, and when he heard about their plans, he was speechless for a while.
She said: "He is a weak scholar, it is not easy enough to brave the wind and snow to Baimen Gorge, and he has traveled hundreds of miles and braved the danger of avalanches to find here, and you still pit him." ”
Yang Shu disagreed: "He wants to grab credit, he can't do nothing, right?" If you have the courage to gamble on his bright future, you should take some risks. ”
Mingwei imagined the situation for a moment and couldn't help but smile.
"Anyway, who called him greedy, those who can work harder!"
The two laughed sheepishly together.
……
Guo Xu didn't believe it at first.
People with bad stomachs will inevitably think of others like this.
But he went to squat outside Zongxu Gate for many days, and what he saw was either a military doctor or a henchman who came and went nervously.
Zong Xu would occasionally "wake up", and at this time, he would pull him to chat weakly, thinking about his heroic years and the regrets that his life was not over.
At that time, he was almost breathing from time to time, and Guo Xu pinched him in a cold sweat.
General Zong, please don't say it, if you say that you are out of breath, can this death be written into the history books?
It's just that Zong Xu always looks like he is explaining the aftermath, and he can't bear to interrupt several times.
This old guy, it seems that he is really going to die?
"Master Guo, the old man has been angry with you Wenchen all his life, but I didn't expect you to see him off, it's really impermanent......
"The boy of my sect family, the final destination is the battlefield, and the old man has long thought that there will be such a day. It's just that the dog hasn't been able to take on the big responsibility yet, and he is unwilling to die! ”
"It's a pity that my subordinates, all of whom are experienced in a hundred battles, have to accompany the old man to be buried here today. Poor and uncertain riverside bones, once a person in a deep boudoir dream......"
He even recited poetry!
Guo Xu became more and more irritated by him, and thought, he really doesn't seem to be acting? Otherwise, why do you sing like this every day?
Trapped in a lonely city, the importance of morale is self-evident. In case you are trapped and lose your sharpness, even if the enemy does not attack, you will collapse first.
Although Guo Xu is a civil servant, he has also read military books, and he has common sense.
Yang Shu came over every day, and the filial son generally served tea and fed medicine, and then listened to Zong Xu's lecture in one breath.
The teacher is kind and filial, and he blinds him.
After holding on for five or six days, Guo Xu couldn't hold on.
Because Sutu began to besiege the city.
The Qi army poured a lot of water on the city wall, and it only took one night to freeze solidly. The ice wall made the siege more difficult, and this siege battle was even more difficult.
Guo Xu stood on the city wall and observed it once.
Of course, this is very dangerous for him, even if he is covered with all the protection he can wear, a weak scholar who has never been on the battlefield standing on the city wall is still no different from looking for death.
But Guo Xu insisted.
He felt that Zong Xu might really not be acting, and in that case, the possibility of his survival would be greatly reduced.
Of course, he could also ask Mingwei to send him back with that big flying bird.
But Guo Xiangye pondered for a while and felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person.
What's more, he can enter the political hall at such a young age because he dares to fight.
When he was a state official, he was stabbed through the sky through a corruption case, and only then did he enter the eyes of the saints and rise to prominence.
Holding on to gravel slopes is extremely dangerous, but there are also rare opportunities hidden in it.
Just imagine, how much merit is for a civil servant, in the case of the death of the main general, to be ordered to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack of 20,000 iron cavalry of the Hu people?
Guo Xu's blood boiled as long as he thought about it.
When Zong Xu is the main general, he can return to the political hall with his merits. What if he was the chief officer?
This credit is the first time that the country was founded!
The founding minister Minghan has never had such feats.
Not only can he rise to the top, but he can also go down in history!
A feather arrow flew head-on, interrupting Guo Xiangye's thoughts and making him squat with his head in his hands.
The feathered arrow brushed his helmet and passed.
Yang Shu walked over: "Master Guo, you better go down, it's too dangerous here." If you make a mistake, it will be a loss for the court! ”
Hearing him say this, Guo Xu stood up straight again: "It's okay, this official has to share weal and woe with all the soldiers for three months, how can he escape from the battle?" Only by knowing what is going on with the siege can we better plan for the soldiers. ”
Yang Shu persuaded him two more words, but he didn't persuade him, so he had to call a small colonel: "The safety of Lord Guo will be handed over to you." If there's a mistake, just ask. ”
The Colonel obeyed orders.
Yang Shu sighed and left, looking helpless and moved.
After walking a short distance, entering the corner tower, Mingwei was watching the battle inside, and when he saw him come in, he asked, "How is it?" ”
Yang Shuren smiled: "I refuse to go down even if I die, this is a bait." ”
Mingwei also smiled: "I can't even take care of my life, I'm really a senior official fan." ”
"It doesn't matter what he's for, he just has to do things." Yang Shu looked at the fierce Hu Bing outside the city, "If he can really do it, what if this great credit is given to him?" ”
