Chapter 166: Each Thinks Wisely
Chang'an Prime Minister's Mansion.
Straight Lang Zhong Yuwen Shen analyzed for Yuwentai:
"Prime Minister, as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, Gao Huan wants to enter the customs with a large army, nothing more than to take the Pujin River, the storming of Tongguan, or the three roads of Shangluo knocking on Lantian, and Hengnong gathering grain, the three roads can be supported, and the lower officials think that this matter is credible."
Yuwenshen is the son of Yuwentai, who is good at reading military books and resourceful, and is deeply valued by Yuwentai.
But Yuwentai did not immediately express his position, he motioned for everyone to speak freely.
Another henchman who was about to lead the army to Yang's wall (northeast of Hancheng, Shaanxi, west bank of Longmen) to quell the civil unrest, Yu Jinyan:
"He Liuhun sticks to the art of war, but does not know how to change, now his troops are gathered in Jinyang, and the grain and grass are in Hengnong, Sun Tzu said, 'Wisdom will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells.'" Now there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, the prime minister goes east out of Tongguan, looting Hengnong, Gao Huanyuan is in Jinyang, it is difficult to save each other, if it is successful, one of them can solve the urgency of food, and the other can also frustrate its sharpness, please observe it. ”
Yu Jin is the governor of Xia when Yuwentai served as the assassin of Xiazhou, and the intimate relationship between the two is needless to say.
Everyone supported Yu Jin's view, believing that Hengnong's grain was desirable.
Even the newly promoted Zuo Cheng Su Sui also said:
"Now that Kansai is tired, the people of Kanto have always been arrogant, thinking that we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we must be unprepared, and it is not difficult for the prime minister to take it."
Yu Wentai listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and he did not immediately express his position, but asked a question to his cronies who were eager to go east to rob the grain:
"Where did Low Cheng go?"
Low Cheng's whereabouts are a secret, and there has been no news from the spies for a long time, so Low Cheng led the Luoyang Jinggi soldiers north to Gao Cheng, preparing to cross the river with Low Huan in Pujin.
But at this time, Yang Shibi deliberately asked again, which also made everyone think deeply, does anyone think that Yang Shibi forgot the news, and there is really no such stupid person who can be called to discuss military affairs.
Just like Low Cheng has already made a rule, once you drink alcohol in the low season, you are allowed to participate in the discussion.
Yang Shibi slowly threw out the seventh question:
"Did Low Cheng really go to Zhao Jia?"
Zhao Gui asked tentatively:
"The prime minister's intention is that Low Cheng is pretending to be false news to confuse you and others, but he is actually already in Hengnong?"
Yang's wall said:
"Something is wrong! Low Cheng will be in Hengnong! ”
"That"
Everyone heard that the small thing was the answer.
Yang Shibi confidently explained:
"Low Cheng first ordered Wang Sizheng to guard Hengnong County, with the small drought in the front pass, Low Cheng ordered Dugu Yongye to lead 7,000 people to help Hengnong, its intention is not to worry that you will take the opportunity to go east and plunder Hengnong's grain.
"Now Hengnong is stockpiling grain, but I see that it is only to increase the army for defense, but to lead the army north to join Low Huan.
"If something goes wrong, there will be no surprise.
"You decide! Low Cheng definitely didn't go to Zhao Jia, I set up an ambush in Hengnong, waiting for your army to go east. ”
The Tongguan rescue made a deep impression on Yang's wall.
Low Cheng used 7,000 cavalry to outflank Yang's 8,000 cavalry from the north and south, making the illusion that he wanted to drag me in place and cooperate with the ambush soldiers in front of the mountain to encircle and annihilate me in one fell swoop.
Forcibly scared Yang Shibi away.
Knowing in advance that there were only 7,000 horsemen in total, all of whom were tired people from long-distance travel, Yang Shibi often sighed.
However, in the case of vague truth and falsehood, there are many choices, and Yang Shibi will still lead the army to break through.
Because I realized the strategic intent of the Battle of Tongguan: to defeat the defeat of the Kwantung army and shock the hearts of the people in the Kwantung region.
Yang Shibi is likely to take another adventure, carefully study whether there is really no ambush in front of the mountain, once he hesitates, he is really dragged down, and it is very difficult for a small victory to turn into a small defeat, and there is no risk of even being surrounded and annihilated.
Before this battle, fewer details were known to the Yang family, such as Low Cheng persuaded Jin Yang several times that he could be a heavy enemy and be able to knock on the pass.
That also took a step back and deepened Zhao Jiacai's jealousy of Low Cheng.
The father and son of the low family are not resourceful, the old low Huan Xingfa is surrounded by arrogance, but low Cheng still maintains a confused, I am my own henchman.
The world is so unpredictable, and under history, Yang Shibi believes that he is low and arrogant, and it is completely impossible for him to make major mistakes under Hengnong's arrangement, so as to send troops to attack Hengnong.
And now, Yang Shibi thinks that the two fathers and sons, Low Huan and Low Cheng, are guilty of that kind of accuracy at the same time, especially on the basis that Low Cheng has long been unguarded against his attack on Hengnong.
After Zhao Jiacai's analysis, everyone also came back to their senses.
Zhao Gui is Gandao:
"The grain of Hengnong is close behind the eyes, but it can be taken!"
A heavy sigh, knocking under everyone's hearts, resonated.
Yang Shibi smiled and said:
"Who said you were taking Hengnong."
Yu Wenshen was the first to react:
"Is the prime minister trying to use an army as bait to lure Low Cheng into pursuit, and then attack him with an ambush?"
Zhao Jiacai took the case:
"It's wrong! If you lose low, Hengnong will fall into your hands! ”
When everyone heard this, they said yes.
When Zhao Jiacai was about to lead the army eastward, news came from the west that Nanliang had transferred a batch of grain from Shu to the north.
The military food crisis was temporarily lifted, and when everyone thought that Yang Shibi was going to quit the army, Yang Shibi insisted on going east.
For Yang Shibi, if he can take the opportunity to get rid of Low Cheng's henchmen, it is far more important than Hengnong's grain.
The heir of Low Huan, with such ability, is only eighteen years old!
If Low Cheng knew what Yang Shibi was thinking, he would definitely point at the other party's nose and scold me for being ungrateful.
Why did Nan Liang give food, did he have a little outside the heart of the Yang family?
It's still to look at my face as a low king, if there is no existence for me, how can the noble Xiao Bodhisattva look up at the world, in order to help the west and fight the east, fight the old book.
Of course, Low Cheng is destined to know those things, and I still eat ashes outside the mountain with Jinyang.
I often think of the beautiful wife and concubine in Luoyang, and in addition to this, I also think of Zhao Jiacai I saw that day.
There is no shortage of criticism about Zhao Jiacai, the most important thing is to compete for favor, and Gao Shen often sleeps with a monk named Xian Gong at night, Yu Wentai provokes from it, and instigates Gao Shen to kill the monk Xian Gong.
and informing, Yang Su and others plotted to kill Low Yan and Low Zhan, but they had a bad relationship with their co-conspirator Low Guiyan, causing Low Yan and Low Zhan to learn of our conspiracy.
Li Zu'e told his fellow clansman Zhao Jiacai about this again, and Yuwentai told Lou Zhaojun in panic.
The matter of competing for favor has to be washed, but the whistleblower is indeed worth saying, at most in Low Cheng's opinion, Zhao Jiacai has not been emotionally right-left, but rationally chose the way to survive, and it is a wrong thing.
The military power is in the hands of Lou Zhaojun and the low brothers, and it is already difficult to plan things, and they have to plot quietly, so there is no reason to succeed.
What's more, Low Cheng really doesn't have a good impression of Yuwentai, not because of your appearance, but because you can abide by women's morals.
In order to vent his anger to Gao Shen, Low Cheng in history teased Yu Wentai.
With the power and handsome appearance of the low, the other women have already fornicated with me half-pushed and half-pushed, and put a green hat on the low-mindedness.
But Zhao Jiacai chose to tell her husband about it, whether she was tempted by her low appearance and power.
The king of the big low leads the army, and he also forgets to put eyeliner next to his wife and concubine.
How can you love Yuwentai's behavior?
As for the competition for favor and jealousy, this is just a big deal, and after I am old and sober, there is a small problem.
And when he is sober, Zhao Jiacai has not yet competed for favor and flattery.
What's more, eating Yuwentai is also for himself, and even less is out of public interest.
Low Shen didn't divorce Gao Shen's sister and marry Yuwentai again, which led to a feud between the two families.
Gao Shen is the Wenchen he relies on, and his two younger brothers, Low Ao Cao and Low Ji Shi, are the generals he trusts.
Those parties, especially those who are cautious, should give a generous gift to express their gratitude if they know their hard work.
Of course, when the gift arrives, Low Cheng will also blame us, after all, my person is nameless with narrow benevolence.
Just when Low Cheng was thinking about Yuwentai, the West didn't slow down to report the news:
"Little general, there is no change in Tongguan."
The scout's shouting lifted Low Cheng's spirits.
Summoning the scout to him, he said slowly:
"Explain the situation slowly."
The scout breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"Now that Tongguan is not under martial law, it is Xu who withdraws, and the next time that situation occurs is when Yang Shibi attacks General Dou."
Jin Yang's face on the side changed suddenly when he heard this, and he was completely white.
Low Cheng weakly suppressed a smile and waved his hand to let the scout in to rest.
patted Zhao Jia's shoulder again and said narrowly:
"General Dou should not be depressed about this, this time to defeat Zhao Jiacai is enough to snow the shame of Tongguan that day."
Jin Yang's expression looked a little better when he heard this.
The reason why I called my uncle again was naturally because he was in the army and could be casual in peacetime.
Low Cheng appeased Zhao Jia, and waited for the Yang family's wall soldiers to come to Hengnong City.
Sure enough, outside that night, there was no foot soldier with 10,000 people out of Tongguan and headed east.
Observing that situation, and seeing that the Western Wei sentinel cavalry had not dispersed, the Eastern Wei scouts also advanced.
But what we do know is that before that foot soldier, the Yang family led ten thousand horsemen out of the pass.
At that time, there were no 17 generals in the Western Wei Dynasty, including Dugu Xin, Li Bi, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, several Hui, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Da Xiwu, Liang Yu, Yi Feng, Liu Liang, Li Yuan, and Wang De.
In the battle of Shayuan, Yang Shibi only led 10,000 people to meet the enemy in the later period, and there were only 10,000 people in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Hou Mo and Chen Yue were able to have tens of thousands of soldiers at the beginning.
It's just that the civil unrest was quelled in seven places, and it was difficult to mobilize it for a while.
For example, that time, Yu Jin, who was supposed to go to Li Changyi to quell the civil unrest, was sent to the east, and Li Changyi's civil rebellion was not pacified by another general.
When Yu Jin waved the banner of Yang's wall, led Liang Yu, Yifeng, Liu Liang, Li Yuan, Wang Zhixin and others to lead 10,000 foot soldiers to Hengnong City and prepare for the siege.
Jin Yang, who was watching at the bottom of the mountain with Low Cheng, saw Zhao Jiacai's banner, and couldn't help but ask Low Cheng for battle:
"Little general, please don't hesitate, your army is 80,000 foot cavalry, and the Hengnong defenders are flanked outside, the western army will be defeated, Tai is willing to be the vanguard, please ask the little general for permission."
Low Cheng looked at the Western Wei army array, and his eyebrows were spoken.
On Jinyang's urging again, Low Cheng suddenly asked:
"Is General Dou going to put Cheng to death?"
It's still early in the morning, but don't wait. Hengnong is actually Hongnong, avoiding the Northern Wei Dynasty's dedication to Emperor Wen Tuoba Hong, so it was changed to Hengnong.
Thank you for the reward from the book friend Yiye Zhiqiu AQA.
