readx;? Chapter 3: Choices (4)

"Order!" Xiang Xun never liked his mother-in-law, so he agreed and left quickly. After the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a moment, he used a basket to pack a lot of bloody human heads and brought them back.

The inside of the military tent was immediately filled with a strong smell of blood. The civilians held their breath and frowned. The generals were as if they had eaten alcohol, and they were drunk one by one, shouting, "Good killing! For these bastards who recognize thieves as their fathers, they should be stabbed!"

"Kill well, let Zhao Yanshou see with his own eyes tomorrow, what will happen to those who betray their ancestors!"

"Kill, kill Zhao Yanshou's guy tomorrow, and avenge the fathers and villagers who died under the knife of the Khitans!"

"Kill, how can there be so much bullshit, under the knife is the real chapter!"

"My general and the emperor are brothers, how can you be separated......"

"That is, if the general has become the emperor......"

"Uh-huh!" the more the generals shouted in the audience, the more they couldn't control their mouths. Guo Wei coughed lightly, and then reminded with a smile, "Okay, I've already killed the person." Now there are no superfluous ideas, and everyone has different ideas. From now on, concentrate and think about how to defeat the enemy tomorrow!"

"That's exactly how it should be!"

"Yes!"

The civilian and military generals naturally divided into two waves and responded one after another.

Indeed, since the messenger and his retinue have been killed, there is no need to think about whether they should be killed or not. So, I began to devote myself wholeheartedly to discussing the battle plan for the next day.

"The biggest trouble now is that most of Zhao Yanshou's troops are cavalry, and they come and go. However, our Left Army was dominated by foot soldiers, and the cavalry was only a small number. Compared with the Northern Army, it has no advantage in terms of size or combat effectiveness. "Wei Renpu, the secretary in charge, used to be a privy councillor official in the Later Jin Dynasty, and after he was captured last year, he was locked up in the Liao army for a long time as a miscellaneous clerk, so he knew the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and us.

"Well, you go on!" Guo Wei glanced at him appreciatively, smiling and urging.

Wei Renpu arched his hand and continued to talk eloquently, "Then the purpose of Zhao Yanshou's trip is not to defeat us, but to drag the entire left army here, so that I can't help the emperor attack Yedu." So he made full use of the advantages of the cavalry, fighting whenever he wanted, and leaving when he wanted. When I saw a bargain, I swarmed it. If you suffer a little, you will ride your horse away. Even if our army wins, it will not be able to expand the gains of the battle. If there is a partial flaw, there will be heavy losses. The pursuit was too far, and I always had to worry that the cavalry of the Northern Army would outflank me and cut our army's forward and rear troops into two sections. Therefore, in the past few days, no matter how hard the soldiers tried their lives, the results were very low. ”

"Don't talk about these useless things! Just say how to fight? Didn't the lord slaughter the Liao envoy? Hang up in front of the battle tomorrow, Zhao Yanshou and the others have to say something no matter what!" Guo Chong, the colonel of the Sixth Army of the Protector Left and the assassin of Yingzhou, frowned and reminded very unceremoniously.

"So what Wei means is that we might as well set up a trap and move the Chinese army back a little at the beginning of the battle. The two wings unconsciously protruded forward...... "Wei Renpu knew that he was this kind of impatient, smiled, and added very patiently.

"Do you mean to deceive and defeat, and then outflank the wings and catch the turtle in the urn?!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted loudly by Guo Chong. When all the generals heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all turned their heads to Wei Renpu, waiting for him to make further additions.

"Indeed, all the gentlemen are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and you can see what Wei is trying to do at a glance!" Wei Renpu smiled and arched his hands, responding with a bit of flattery. Although Zhao Yanshou is the eagle dog of the Liao people, the Liao people may not be completely at ease with him. The reason why he was entrusted with a heavy task is because his soldiers are strong and strong. If we can eat a small part of it, Zhao Yanshou and a few other thieves are worried that they will be abandoned by the Liao people after their military strength is weakened, and they will definitely passively avoid the war in the future. At that time, whether our army will turn around and besiege Yedu with His Majesty, or take a big stride into Beizhou, it will be much calmer!"

"Not bad!"

"It's a tasty idea. ”

"It's worthy of being a nine-trick boy, and making a move is a ruthless move!"

"Old Wei, you're here to come to the right place. If you stay in Bianliang, you will definitely not have a chance to show your strengths!"

“......”

Everyone called Wei Renpu's nickname and praised him with gossip.

The Nine Tricks Boy is the nickname Wei Renpu received in his hometown when he was studying. Ordinary people, even prodigies, only have seven tricks. And he has two more know-how than others, so he sees problems more accurately, and his advice is always true.

However, Wang Jun, the prisoner of the soldiers and horses, was very dissatisfied with everyone's behavior of chasing Wei Renpu. Suddenly coughed a few times, and interjected with a pair of sagile eyebrows, "This plan seems to be good, but it is too wishful thinking." Zhao Yanshou is also a veteran of the battlefield, how can he not see the trap that you can see at a glance? If you can't get it, you can't steal chickens tomorrow morning, but you will eat a handful of rice!"

"Lord Metropolitan Supervisor reminded me very much!" Wei Renpu was not as good as Wang Jun in terms of position and qualifications, so he didn't dare to care whether the other party's attitude was rude. He arched his hand with a smile and explained in a low voice, "This strategy will definitely not be able to fool Zhao Yanshou and the others for too long." But the goal of our army in this battle is not to annihilate the northern army in one fell swoop. As long as you get the scale right, you can get miraculous results. In addition, the cavalry under Zhao Yanshou moved quickly, and the faster they moved, the shorter the time left for Zhao Yanshou to find out about the plan. When he realized that he had been deceived, he hurriedly blew the horn to gather the soldiers and horses. The cavalry has penetrated deeply, and the left and right flanks of our army can already encircle the center!"

"Won't the one surnamed Zhao make a plan? Do you just think about cutting the northern army into two sections, so that Zhao Yanshou won't press the whole army and join the besieged inside?" Wang Jun was still not convinced, and his brows were furrowed in the center of his forehead, like a ball of ink that could not be dissolved.

"...... this?" Wei Renpu was speechless when he was asked, but he had to add again, "When the two wings of our army are closed to the center, we will naturally leave enough troops to resist the other part of the northern army. And then ......"

"Snort" Wang Jun spewed a breath of cold air from his nostrils, and his questioning voice was like a series of arrows, "Of course, it is easy to talk about troops on paper, but how can the real situation on the battlefield be as you imagined? What if the soldiers and horses left behind do not set up their positions in time? What if they can't withstand the counterattack of the northern army? What if it ......?"

"Okay, Brother Xiufeng, how to implement the specific details is a matter for us veterans, don't be too embarrassed for him!" Seeing that Wei Renpu was asked with beads of sweat on his forehead and red ears, Guo Wei, the commander of the Han Army on the left, had to interrupt.

"Hmph, you just like to carry a newcomer, and you don't see if he is worthy of your support!" Wang Jun turned his head and glanced at Guo Wei, shrugging his shoulders unwillingly.

He is two years older than Guo Wei, has a deep friendship, and is quite trusted by Liu Zhiyuan. So Guo Wei calls him his brother both publicly and privately. And although Wang Jun is narrow-minded, crazy, and does what he does, he is worthy of Guo Wei's respect in most cases. From the perspective of looking at the problem, he is mostly on Guo Wei's side, and rarely seeks for his own personal interests.

"Ming Gong is not completely partial to private individuals, Xiufeng, you stinky temper, you really have to change it!" Among the people present, Changshi Zheng Renzhi was the oldest and the most senior. I was afraid that Wang Jun's actions made Wei Renpu feel cold. Therefore, without waiting for Guo Wei to speak again, he took the initiative to stand up and play a round for the two sides, "Since it is a discussion, it is necessary to work together." Secretary Wei's plan is not complete, everyone will check and fill in the gaps for him. Why do you want to ask him to be perfect in the first place? If he could do it, he wouldn't have stayed with the adults. He has already soared into the sky and was promoted to the position of privy envoy by the emperor!"

For Zheng Renzhi, who is nearly 20 years older than himself, Wang Jun does not dare to be too contemptuous. After thinking about it, he nodded with a smile, "Okay, since your old Zheng said so, everyone will continue to add it! Wang Mou just now, just now, he actually wanted to make up for his omissions, not pick a bone in the egg!"

"What you Wang Xiufeng look like, of course everyone knows it in their hearts. The so-called pouting mule can't be sold for a donkey price, that's it!" Zheng Renzhi saw that he was willing to give himself face, so he quickly made a joke loudly, and then quickly pulled the conversation back to the topic, "If Ming Gong feels that Secretary Wei's strategy is meritorious, then everyone might as well follow this idea and supplement it together." Ming Gong, what do you think?"

"What the eldest brother says, is what I think in my heart!" Guo Wei had great respect for Zheng Renxue, nodded, and said with a smile.

When Zhong Wenwu heard this, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Then he bred his spirits and began to discuss the details of the implementation around the framework proposed by Wei Renpu. Everyone has been on the battlefield themselves, and there is no shortage of experience, insight and courage. Therefore, soon, a complete combat plan was placed in front of Guo Wei.

"Then use the troops according to this strategy. Tomorrow morning, the old man will personally lure the enemy in the Chinese army, eldest brother, brother Xiufeng, you two go to the left and right wings. The first, second, and seventh armies followed the old man, and the third, fourth, and fifth armies followed the eldest brother. The remaining three armies were under the command of Brother Xiufeng. Guo Wei was not too verbose, and directly began to dispatch troops. "Early tomorrow morning, let's give Zhao Yanshou a hard blow, so that when he sees the flag of the left army in the future, he will turn his horse and walk around!

"I am willing to go to the soup for the adults!!" all the civil and military officers stood up and bowed, responded in unison, and then walked away quickly.

Zheng Renzhi was a little older and his legs and feet were weak, so he walked last. Guo Wei saw him faltering, so he stood up, bypassed the handsome case, quickly caught up, and supported his arm with both hands.

"It's still old after all!" Zheng Renyu turned back in astonishment, and when he saw that it was Guo Wei himself who was supporting him, he suddenly felt warm in his heart, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "My mental and physical strength are not as good as before, and I haven't been able to help Ming Gong, but I am about to become a burden!"

"What are these words, big brother?" Guo Wei added a little strength to his hand, shook his head and retorted, "If it weren't for you today, Xiufeng wouldn't know when to make a move with me! I don't have the heart to mess around with him all night! Okay, you don't have to come along, I'll go out with my eldest brother to breathe!"

The second half of the sentence is said to the cronies. The guards did not dare to disobey, and stopped one after another to get out of the way. It wasn't until Guo Wei helped Zheng Renzhi to walk thirty steps away that he quietly followed behind.

"Xiufeng, I really can't help it!" Away from the guards and his subordinates, Guo Wei's demeanor and mood began to relax. Shaking his head with a smile, he continued the previous topic, "Big brother, you can stay by my side, so you can still restrain him for me." If you really go home one day, he's going to make a mess of me!"

"He, this problem will bring disaster to himself sooner or later!" Zheng Renzhi was also very troubled by Wang Jun's bitterness. sighed and said in a low voice: "That is, you have a lot of gas and can tolerate him, if you are transferred to someone else, I am afraid that in a few days, you will die in a daze." ”

"That's not necessarily, everyone can see his ability!" Guo Wei was very modest and denied it with a smile. "At most, like me, just complain while using him!"

"You have to remember to knock him more in the future, otherwise, when you return to Bianliang, you will stand on the court. If he continues to mess around like this, he will get into trouble sooner or later!" Zheng Renzhi did not argue with him, and continued to add seriously.

"That's right, the gentleman lost his manners, but it was easy to be caught by the official!" Guo Wei deeply agreed with this. I thought about it and whispered yes.

"Ming Gong, you, are you really not tempted at all?" Judging by his ears that Guo Wei's guards were far away from him, Zheng Renzhi suddenly changed the topic, lowered his head, and asked in a way that only the two of them could hear.

"I ......" Guo Wei was trembling when asked, and almost threw Zheng Renzhi out as a weapon. But soon, he regained his usual calm and generous appearance, sighed faintly, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, don't make fun of me anymore." I was a big soldier, and I even read and wrote, and I only had the money to ask my husband to teach me after I became a commander. Now that he is a very powerful minister, how dare he expect too much?" (Note 1)

Lest Zheng Renzhi continue the same topic, he waved his hand and added faintly, "Besides, from Huangchao to Chang'an, how many years have it been, fighting every day, aren't you and I in troubled times long enough? So over the years, when Guo thinks about the situation when he is hungry, he can't wait to end the troubled times as soon as possible. Sensei said that the lord treats a certain relative like a brother, even if he treats a certain person like an ordinary son, he is afraid that he can make the troubled times show signs of the end, and Guo Mou will not dare to let tens of millions of people die in the wilderness for his own selfishness!"

"Ming Gong has such a benevolent heart, which is the blessing of all the people in the world!" Zheng Renzhi heard this, and his heart was greatly moved. Half a step back, long to the ground.

Self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. Shouldn't these be the ideals of a true scholar? If you can end the troubled times behind a general like Guo Wei who cares about the people, even if you are shrouded in horse leather, what regrets do you have in this life?

"You and my brother, why are you so polite?" Guo Wei turned sideways to avoid it, and then stretched out his hands to support him, "These words, let's talk about them in private, just out of my mouth and into your ears." There's no need to talk about it every day, making people feel like Guo is a hypocrite!"

"That's nature!" Zheng Renyu thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. Immediately, he looked around and continued to add in a very low voice, "Ming Gong has the heart to save the people, and he should follow it with all his might." But when I look at His Majesty's recent speech and demeanor, I always feel that he, he is already emaciated. In case one day he suddenly drove away, the prince has also been sick recently, and the government, this big Han country, I am afraid it will have to be handed over to the second prince Chengyou. At that time, Ming Gong will make more preparations, which is the best policy!"

"Well......" Guo Wei has also noticed that Liu Zhiyuan's body, spirit and personality have undergone great changes recently. So I don't think Zheng Renzhi is alarmist. After a moment's silence, he responded in the same low voice, "At that time, let's talk about it then." I really can't do it, so I asked myself to go out of town, and walked far away, out of sight and out of mind. Although the second prince has a rebellious temperament, as long as Guo does not obstruct his eyes, he will not treat me as an uncle. Alas, God really doesn't have long eyes, and finally, the troubled times have shown some signs of an end, but yet, but, alas, ——!"

"Alas!" Zheng Renyu also felt very helpless, and sighed with Guo Wei in a low voice.

Like Guo Wei, he has always had some kind of expectation in his heart, looking forward to the end of the troubled times as soon as possible, looking forward to the return of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the four Yi guests. I hope that people like myself can live and work in peace and contentment, read and write, become officials, and seek fame without thinking about killing people all day long.

Now, it is undoubtedly the time when the two of them are closest to the goal, but unfortunately, Liu Zhiyuan, the son of heaven, I am afraid that time is running out. And Liu Zhiyuan's successor does not seem to be a wise man.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. In case Liu Zhiyuan goes, the successor does not know the importance and acts recklessly. I am afraid that the Central Plains, which has only been stable for a few days, will fall into chaos and turmoil again.

And the Khitans are no longer the Khitans of the past. They already had their own court, their own fixed army, their own bureaucratic system, and their own legal provisions. Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, he once again used Yanyun's terrain to drive south......

"Could it be that the Central Plains is really exhausted, and the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua is going to come again?" suddenly remembered a certain period of history before the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Renzhi felt sad in his heart. is about to work hard again to persuade Guo Wei to weigh the weight. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed from the opposite side, and the wind passed by the two of them.

"Brother Xiufeng, where are you going?" Guo Wei is a general of a hundred battles, although he is already old, his reaction is still more agile than many young people. Quickly freed up a hand, grabbed the black shadow's wrist, and asked loudly.

"Ah——!" Wang Jun, the commander of the soldiers and horses, let out an exclamation from his mouth, and stumbled a few times before he regained his footing. Looking at Guo Wei and Zheng Renxue, he panted and shouted, "It's you, why are you two here?" Old Guo, why don't you even bring a personal guard with you, what if the Liao people send assassins? Lao Zheng, you are really, and you won't dissuade him!"

"Assassin, assassin can't fly, can he still run into the barracks?" Guo Wei let go of his hand and shook his head with a smile. "Brother Xiufeng, where are you going?

"Of course I'm looking for you!" Wang Xiufeng gasped a few more breaths, and two cold rays of light shot out of his eyes, "I have a plan, I will definitely make Zhao Yanshou die without a place to be buried!"

Note 1: Guo Wei's father's name is Guo Jian, who was the assassin of Shunzhou and died in a soldier rebellion. Wei was only a few years old at this time, and fled to Luzhou with his mother Wang, and his mother died on the way. Fortunately, his aunt Han took him in, and he has grown up.
