Chapter 40: Pre-Battle Accountability
"Oh? Let a certain formation be discussed, and there are not many people to bring. After the messenger came back and truthfully recounted what happened to Feng Yijun, Li Jue looked thoughtful.
Everyone was still thinking about how to comfort the angry messenger, but when they learned the whole story, they all seemed to have exploded, and their anger rose and they scolded and asked for battle.
If the king is worried, he will be humiliated, and if the lord is humiliated, he will die!
Li Jue stretched out his hand to suppress everyone's voices and said, "So-and-so, I want to give it a try!" ”
Seeing that Li Jue's heart was moved, the guard beside him hurriedly said: "The lord must not be, he not only despises the messenger, but also dares to make things difficult for the lord, from this point of view, Feng Yijun has no sincerity in discussing peace talks." ”
"That is, my lord, the enemy army is the strongest, but it is a tired army. Although our army is weak, it is victorious because there are many people, and it can rely on the camp to defend, and the victory or defeat is between the two. ”
Li Jue took a deep look at the people around him, and could find the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and us.
"Well, what's your name?"
"My lord, my subordinate Tan Tong." The man replied with a fist clenched.
Li Jue secretly wrote down this name, not only because he was intentionally cultivated, but also because he didn't hesitate to say more: "What you said is good, but although our army and Feng Yijun are not under their own control, they have the friendship of the same state." If you rush into battle, your relatives will be painful, and your enemies will be fast. ”
Li Jue did not tell them that the two parties were allies, how could such an important matter be revealed casually, so it was reasonable to not want to destroy the friendship between the two families, after all, there were many people from Zuo Feng Yi in the Jingzhao County Army, and there were naturally many Jingzhao people in Feng Yi's army.
"And although the other party is a tired division, he has been practicing the battle formation for a long time, even if his strength is not enough, his strength still exists. Although there are many people in our army, they are all newly recruited, and before today, they were just victims waiting for the government to revive their efforts. If our army has obvious advantages, they will also become a help, and at this time, our army is small and weak, and it is difficult for them to resist. ”
These are just disaster victims, who were already starving to the bone, and they did not starve to death because of government relief. Now their role is more important to deter, rather than directly charging into battle and fighting on the battlefield.
Moreover, if our army has the advantage, they can naturally "fake the tiger" and cooperate with the Jingzhao army to fight hard. But if our army is in a slight decline, they will inevitably flee, and once one person retreats, it will inevitably lead the whole army, and then both the Jingzhao army and the refugees will become meat slaughtered by the enemy at will on the board.
However, in terms of tactics, what Tan Tong said is not useless, but it is the best plan to defend the village, so what then?
Waiting for the enemy to attack?
But what if the enemy doesn't attack? The two sides are confronted here, and our army is defeated by the other side in the field battle, and does not dare to come out, if we want to break through the encirclement, and do not first talk about whether we can get out or not, no matter what kind of efforts made in front of us will come to naught.
If it is trapped, the Jingzhao army has no backup, and no food and grass, what should it do?
"This, since the lord is going, he should also bring more soldiers and horses..."The soldiers under his command saw that Li Jue could not be dissuaded, and they all shifted their focus.
"It's okay, besides, even if you bring more, how much can you bring?" Li Jue sat on the horse and muttered to himself, although the voice was not loud, but there was no noisy sound around, and everyone heard it clearly.
The knight next to him said anxiously: "Lord! ”
Seeing that everyone had to persuade again, Li Jue said firmly: "I have made up my mind, and the soldiers should not persuade again." ”
But after seeing everyone's disappointed and annoyed expressions, he spoke again: "I know that you are loyal, and if you want to make the enemy dare not move, you have to rely on the hard work of the soldiers. ”
"Yes!"
In just a quarter of an hour, Li Jue arranged everything.
Then he rode the horse he had snatched from Zhang Bai's cavalry camp last night to Feng Yi's army in the north.
The golden crow is shining, the horse is galloping, the young man is tall, and the armor on his body is very dazzling, as if the gods have descended to earth!
This is not only the thoughts of Zuo Feng Yi Taishou Hengnong and the young scribes beside him, but also the thoughts of the soldiers who saw this scene in front of the two armies.
"What a heroic young man!" Heng Nong stroked the beard under his chin with his right hand and nodded lightly in admiration.
The young scribe rolled his eyes, he was also amazed, but the focus was different, although for a moment, he was also a little in a trance by the scene that Li Jue made, but it was only two breaths and it was back to the beginning.
"This person actually came on a single horse, and his courage is so great, no wonder he dares to face the Xiliang Army, but this young man's behavior in the past was quite reckless, but when he looks at it today, he is quite disciplined, well, and take a closer look to see if this person is a reckless man." The young scribe squinted and sighed, he was surprised that the other party came alone, how much courage it required, he had not forgotten the harshness he had just given to the messenger, nor the ridicule of the crowd, nor the dark face of the messenger covered with clouds.
He believed that when the messenger returned, he would tell the other party about what had just happened, especially the other party's monarch.
However, this man still came, and he did not bring a single soldier with him.
"Dare to ask, but Uncle Zuo Feng Yiheng is in person?" Li Jue stopped at a place where there was still a stone's throw away from the opponent's army formation, and bowed on the horse: "Little nephew Li Jue, this is polite!" ”
"This man is very polite." The young scribe said secretly, and after waiting for it, he found that there was no movement on his side, so he raised his head.
"Humph!" As a result, I saw that everyone on my side was staring at the person in front of me with dull eyes. Of course, the rest of the generals did not dare to answer.
One is that this person came up and set it up, playing the emotional card, playing everyone's direct boss, and didn't talk to other people present, so everyone couldn't speak.
Second, the so-called young and old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, regardless of others, if you talk, it's okay to answer correctly, but if you answer wrong, you lose the face of the Taishou, and then you will inevitably complain.
Third, I don't want to admit it in my heart, but I have to admit that this person's demeanor is difficult to resist.
Seeing that no one answered, dragging it out like this would not only lose the rudeness and snub others, but also may have ruined your own prestige.
So he raised his hand and poked it beside him, and called softly: "Ming Gong." ”
"Huh?" Heng Nong didn't know why, but his eyes flashed, as if he was recalling: "This subclass is me!" ”
When the young scribe heard this, his eyes couldn't help but turn up, even though he was speechless, he still did not forget his duty: "Ming Gong, this thief, cough, this little Langjun invites you to answer in front of the battle." ”
"What? Answer? Hengnong turned his head, his eyes full of doubt.
Yes, you really looked at the person in front of you just now and remembered the past. The scribes roll their eyes more today than they did in a year.
"Greetings to this person." The scribe frowned in remind.
"Well, he's still a good boy." Heng Nong nodded, then turned his head and raised his head: "What do you call it?" ”
The scribe was speechless.
Li Jue was also very surprised, but he didn't think much about it, but immediately reported to his family again: "The little nephew Li Jue has seen Uncle Heng, and my father asked the little nephew to take him to say hello to you." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the son of Li Xiandi." Heng Nong looked at Li Jue with a smile in his eyes, like his own nephew.
The scribe looked at his Taishou and was about to fall into deep thought, and couldn't help but be anxious. Thousands of soldiers were waiting for the battle, and they answered before the battle, how could they be such a child's play.
"I have heard the name of the son early, and I am fortunate to see it today. is not talented, there are a few questions trapped in my heart, and I hope that the son will solve his doubts. ”
"Oh? Listen up! ”
"Then it's blunt, may I ask Gongzi, the Xiliang army plundered Sanfu, the people were displaced, and the Jingzhao Mansion couldn't protect the people, so how could they force the people?"
"The two thieves army is rampant, peeking into Fengyi County in the north and disturbing Jingzhao County in the south, the son is the son of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, he does not share his father's worries, he does not go to the thieves to appease the people, and he supports the army to live here, is it for the purpose?"
"Three, the son has no heart to please the thief, my family is too obedient to the will of the people, led the army south to quell the thief, the son led the army to block me, I am too careful and the good of the two families, I can't bear to blame, but the family and the country's major affairs, how can I abolish the public because of private affairs. What does Childe think our army should do? ”
Yo! What is it? Why? How?
Kill three times in a row.
This person asked more and more ruthlessly, not only scolding Jingzhao County, but also mapping other counties, including Zuo Fengyi, where the other party was located. Hey, didn't you see that their own officers were glaring angrily behind them?
Later, the tone was already angry, and even had the threat of asking the teacher for guilt.
Li Jue didn't answer directly, just thought to himself.
The scribe didn't urge, he really wanted to see how the young man in front of him answered.
It's just that Zuo Feng Yi Hengnong's face was unbearable, and he was about to speak, but he was grabbed by the young scribe and shook his head.
"Hmph, that's hospitality." The beard of Heng Nongqi's chin flew up and down.
"Don't blame Ming Gong, it's not to ask for guilt, it's just to look at this person's behavior, he is unwilling to go down, the thief army is powerful, not a family can resist, if the army is united, it needs to be divided into priorities to win, so suppress one or two, it's good for it and me!"
"Alas!" Heng Nong didn't speak, but secretly made a decision in his heart that he would compensate this Li family's nephew in the future. He already identified this nephew.
Everyone was silent, waiting for Li Jue to speak, in a huge place, thousands of people, except for the sound of the wind, there was no other sound.
