Volume 1 Chapter 246 Shangchun Gate, Ours
There must be at least two or three hundred people squeezed in, and these are definitely the elite of the gentlemen, the top of the nobles, like Tang Jian and others are not qualified to enter here, they must wait for the generals to be selected from among our people, and then obey the command.
And the old Li family, naturally only Li Shimin came in, and Yang Shidao also stayed outside, otherwise, there was really no way to squeeze it out.
General Duan looked very powerful, with a beard on his face, and big eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows. When the drumming stopped, the guards standing beside him had already picked up the roster and began to count it.
"Now that everything is here, the old man won't talk nonsense. This time, the traitor Yang Xuan felt that Gu Guoen was in vain, and the army rebelled, this is a national thief, I will wait for ......" Duan Da, this old guy is really speechless, he can't talk nonsense with one mouth, but it's still a bunch of nonsense, clichés, and he talked for a long time, that is, Yang Xuan felt despicable and indecent and shameless, disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous and immoral, we should unite and defeat all counter-revolutionary forces.
Wiping the spit on the corner of his mouth, Duan Da finally got down to business, "There are seven gates in the north of Luoyang, Longguang Gate, Changguan Gate, Yihui Gate, Deyou Gate, Hui'an Gate, these five gates, as well as the Changxia Gate in the south, will be guarded by our sixteen guards, and the Anxi Gate, Shangchun Gate and the other four gates in the south of Luoyang City will be guarded by you."
"General, there are at least 30,000 elites in the city, but they only guard six gates, and we also need to guard six gates, isn't this appropriate?" One of them, a civil official in his forties, dressed in leather armor, stood up and spoke dissatisfied. "After all, our troops are private soldiers, and they are not as elite as the Sixteen Guards, and the orders are uneven, and the command is not easy
"Be relieved." General Duan waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue has ordered all the people of Xiuwu County to guard the Linqing Pass, it is unlikely that they want to cross the river to besiege Luoyang." Therefore, their main attack will definitely be north of Luoyang, and the elite of our sixteen guards is the main force to guard against Yang Yi, and they have to maintain law and order in the city. However, the old man also left 3,000 men and horses to guard the Changxia Gate in the south, so that when the situation in the south changes, reinforcements can be sent at any time. It's just that the sixteen guards who stayed in the eastern capital of the town are now only more than 30,000, and their strength is dwarfed. Therefore, I still need your help, the old man will appoint the main generals, and the others must respect their orders, otherwise, the knife in the old man's hand will not recognize your titles and official positions. ”
When General Duan said this, his tone turned cold, and his eyes flashed like two swords, making the noise in the hall stagnate.
"Thank you for the general's guidance, the last general is willing to lead the town of Anximen." The questioner arched his hand towards General Duan, and it seemed that he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Ben Gongzi winked at Li Shimin with a little curiosity, and this guy came over very understandingly and introduced in a whisper: "This person's surname is Wei Yunqi, this guy is a civil official, the Ming Jing supplement Fu Xi is straight, but he is familiar with military books, long in strategy, in the first year of the great cause, the Khitans invaded Yingzhou, and the Son of Heaven ordered Wei Yunqi, who was the general adviser at the time, to lead the Turks to crusade against the Khitan......"
The Turkic Qimin Khan sent 20,000 cavalry to obey the orders of Wei Yunqi, a civil official of the Great Sui, to crusade against the Khitan, but no one expected that this guy was not only eloquent, but also rigorous in governing the army and strategic.
While marching, he managed the army, packed up the 20,000 Turkic cavalry, and even on the way to the march, a Turk who was dissatisfied with him violated the military order, and without saying a word, he directly slaughtered the head and showed it to the public, and there was no objection in the army that dared to jump.
And because the Khitan was originally dependent on the Turks, this guy adopted a false strategy to defeat the Turks, and after leading the army into the territory of the Khitan, he hid the news of his Great Sui officials, and let the Turkic soldiers falsely claim that they were ordered by the Khan to go to Liucheng to trade with the Goguryeo, so that the Khitans were unguarded.
After Wei Yunqi led the Turkic elite cavalry to advance to a hundred miles away from the Khitan camp, he pretended to turn south to confuse and deceive the Khitans. In the end, the Khitans were defenseless, and they led the army back at night, camping only fifty miles away from the Khitan camp, and then began to attack when the sky was just shining.
“…… In the end, 40,000 men and women were obtained, women and livestock were given to the Turks, and the rest entered the court, and the men were killed, so that the Khitan was subdued and did not dare to have a heart of disobedience. This battle shows his talent, but this person has offended Yuwenshu, and the edict of the Son of Heaven let him lead the Turks to crusade against the Khitan, precisely because of Yuwenshu's plan to kill people with a knife, but no one expected that he actually did it, and the results were jaw-dropping. Even the Son of Heaven was very happy, and wanted to let him lead the army, but was strongly opposed by Yuwenshu, and finally Jin Zhishu served the imperial history, and there was no change in this nine years. Li Shimin sighed softly.
"It's a pity that such a person can't show his talents because of the selfishness of his ministers." I couldn't help but sigh, Yu Wenshu is really speechless for this old rascal, but when I think about Yu Wenhua and what kind of person he is, I know that his father is not much better.
The scene was noisy and chaotic, except for Wei Yunqi, who relied on himself and fought bravely to guard Anxi Gate, the other children of the noble family, one by two, all jumped out and volunteered to guard the southern gates of Luoyang
Seeing this scene, I can't help but be a little speechless, and I am also very helpless, General Duan Da at this moment believes that this is the mood, it can be seen that he is very angry and irritable, but he can only suppress his temper, because most of the people who come here are the highest level of the elite class, such as Yu Wenzhi, the second son of Xu Guogong Yuwen, and even several princes, such as Yang Gongdao.
These guys, he can't offend, but now there is a problem that no one wants to go to Shangchun Gate, which is located in the north of the city.
"Why don't we go and guard the spring gate?" Seeing this scene, Ben Gongzi couldn't help frowning, although I am not a hero, but, I don't want to squat with these guys, more importantly, most of the people want to go to the south, our group of people, is it like a shrew to grab land with them?
"Guarding the Spring Gate?" Chai Shao's brows couldn't help frowning, and he looked at me and said: "Yang Xuangan came from the north, and there are several gates in the north, all of which are important places, and there must be a war, and ours are all elites of each family......"
"Actually, the younger brother also thinks that he should go to Shangchun Gate, according to the younger brother's opinion, Yang Xuangan has only more than 80,000 soldiers, and it is impossible to attack several gates together, and the area around Shangchun Gate is close to the water, and he can also get reinforcements from the water division, so it can be regarded as the one who is relatively less threatened among the gates of the North City." Li Shimin did not object, but said after pondering for a while.
"That's the truth, what's more, if we go to the south gate, how interesting can it be?" Yang Gongdao also raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Since you are all willing, Na Shao is naturally unwilling to be left behind." Seeing that these guys were on my side, Chai Shao's face was not very good-looking, but he quickly returned to normal.
"General Duan, the last general is willing to guard the Spring Gate." Yang Gongdao stepped forward and said loudly, and then Li Shimin, Ben Gongzi and Chai Shao also jumped out one after another.
"Yes, Yang Gongdao is the main general, and you must obey his orders, be sure to guard the wall, and not go out of the city to meet the enemy without authorization." General Duan's expression finally looked a little better, and he showed a satisfied smile.
As for Nawei Yunqi, Duan Da assigned more than a dozen noble sons to lead soldiers and horses to obey his leadership, and the others also have their own appointments, although the ten nobles have complaints, but the problem is that the really important magnates have been thrown to the south, and their dozen or so families are really not the general's next meal, so they can only take orders in a foolish manner.
"Everyone, you all need to obey the orders of the commander, if you dare to disobey the military order, you will not be pardoned" Duan Da glanced at everyone in the hall, and the last sentence made everyone feel a pang in their hearts, as if at this moment, they felt that the smoke of the battlefield was about to come.
Walking out of the door, the nobles who were waiting outside who were not qualified to enter the meeting had already hugged them, and they found people they were familiar with and began to ask questions, some cheering and some cursing, and so on.
And at this time, I finally saw Liu Hongji's guy, this guy was wearing a bright light armor, holding a horse lance in one hand, and there he was proudly boasting about something to Tang Jian next to him, Tang Tong looked very interested, and from time to time he also cooperated to say a few words, which caused more exaggerated laughter from Brother Hongji, only the two sisters Li Yaoguang and Li Xuanba stood on the other side with a black line, as if they were afraid that people would recognize Liu Hongji all the way.
Yang Shidao, on the other hand, smiled wryly, stood beside Tang Yan, and nodded weakly from time to time to show his approval.
"It looks like Brother Hongji is showing off again." Li Shimin winked at me narrowly, and then changed to a very serious expression and greeted Liu Hongji. "Why did Brother Tai come?"
"Anyway, I can't get in if it's early, so it's better to take two more naps, by the way, what's going on?" Liu Hongji said happily.
"It's already booked, let's go guard the spring gate." Yang Gongdao replied with a strong wave of his big hand.
"What?" Liu Hongji couldn't help but widen his eyes, and for a while, just when everyone thought that this guy was surprised because of anger, this girl laughed wildly. "Wow ha...... Great, Lao Tzu has really never been on the battlefield to kill people, and this time I finally have a chance. ”
Seeing this guy's reaction, it really made everyone speechless. However, although Li Xuanba and Li Yaoguang are not as exaggerated as Liu Hongji, a fanatical militant, they are not much better. "Really? That's great, we can actually go to war. Li Yaoguang waved his fist excitedly, not only his eyes, but also his pretty face exuded a compelling brilliance.
