The Battle of Puzhou Chapter 226 The dilemma of advancing and retreating is overwhelming

The First World War damaged the general Zhang Gui, and the morale of the Southern Qi army was greatly reduced.

Even Wei Ran couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he thought he could control the overall situation, but in fact, he took it for granted.

Subsequently, for the sake of insurance, Wei Ran ordered Liu Renye's troops to strengthen their vigilance tonight to prevent the Luoyang defenders from attacking the camp.

He Basheng in Luoyang City did have the idea of attacking the camp, and killed Zhang Gui, the fierce general of the Qi army in a battle during the day, and the defenders of Luoyang are now excited, and it is a good time to pursue the victory.

But he was stopped by Min Shiyuan, who thought that the Qi army would be on guard tonight, so he asked He Batsheng not to act rashly.

Although He Basheng was displeased, Min Shiyuan was not allowed to fight, and he could not fight without permission, so he had to return to the mansion in a huff.

However, then Min Shiyuan rewarded He Batsheng and Qingzhou soldiers in the name of Yuan Frame, among which He Batsheng was also promoted to General Anguo, which slightly dispelled the displeasure in He Batsheng's heart.

Another reason why Min Shiyuan didn't let He Basheng attack the camp was that he didn't want to make a mortal enemy on both sides, and now he and Xiqin were already endless, although Wei Ran took advantage of the fire to rob was shameful, but if he attacked the camp, the Xianbei people didn't know what to do, and if Wei Ran was killed, then the matter would be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Min Shiyuan couldn't help laughing at himself, feeling that he was really cowardly and cowardly, and now that Nanqi had hit the door, he was still thinking about Wei Ran's life and death.

Min Shiyuan was depressed in his heart, drinking alone in the mansion, but at this time, Hu Hua came to look for Min Shiyuan and saw that he was depressed, so he asked out loud.

Min Shiyuan was depressed in his heart, so he told Hu Hua what he thought, and added at the end: "Hu Gongdon't want to laugh at my woman's kindness." ”

Unexpectedly, Hu Hua not only did not laugh at Min Shiyuan, but there was a lot of respect in his words: "Min Gongzi thinks about the country and the people, why should I laugh at you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Hu Hua actually replied like this, Min Shiyuan's heart warmed at the moment, and then echoed: "If this idea is known by others, it is inevitable that I will say that I have a weak personality and cannot achieve great things." ”

Hu Hua knew that Min Shiyuan was depressed, so he sat down and said: "What do outsiders think, lowly positions can't be speculated, but in the eyes of lowly positions, now the east and the west are two Qin, and they will never die. If you form a mortal enmity with Nanqi, it will be really difficult. ”

Min Shiyuan drank another glass of wine at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Then Hu Hua analyzed: "In fact, no matter how Wei Ran takes Nanqi repeatedly, but it is also for the interests of Nanqi, whether it is our dynasty or the Western dynasty, now there is no ability to fight on both sides, for Nanqi, the more fierce we fight with the Western Dynasty, the greater the benefits he can get, so he wants to get involved on both sides, but he doesn't want which side to really benefit." ”

Speaking of this, Hu Hua frowned and said: "Today you sent He Basheng to the city to fight the Qi army, I didn't want to, not because I was afraid of the Qi army, but Wei Ran's intention to besiege and not attack was very obvious, it must be that General Fuqu won a lot of victory on the front line, and Western Qin was in great danger, so Wei Ran took the risk of marching to Luoyang, he was only 80,000 people, how could he shake Luoyang City, Luoyang City now has 100,000 elite soldiers, and more than 300,000 people, how can Wei Ran easily conquer it?" ”

Then Hu Hua added: "But first of all, He Basheng is eager to fight, Xianbei people make meritorious contributions with martial arts, if they are not allowed, this fang will definitely be displeased in his heart, and may look down on Min Gongzi, and secondly, Nanqi is indeed too deceitful, and we have repeatedly tolerated it, and he has repeatedly threatened us again and again, if we don't meet the head-on attack, how can the country gain a foothold." ”

Min Shiyuan nodded and agreed: "I thought the same thing, so I asked him to send troops, and the effect was very good today, and he actually killed Zhang Gui, but I didn't expect it." ”

Hu Hua suddenly laughed at this time, and then said to Min Shiyuan: "Don't worry, Wei Ran and Nanqi will not wait with me because of the death of a Zhang Gui, but now, since Wei Ran's intention to besiege Luoyang is to force General Fuqu to return to the army to rescue Luoyang, now that things are not working, the situation in Luoyang is slightly resolved, I don't know what will happen to Wei Ran next?" I'm afraid that in order to achieve his goal, he will completely join forces with Western Qin, so that General Fuqu will be in danger. ”

Mentioning this, Min Shiyuan was also stunned in his heart, although today's big victory also analyzed Wei Ran's strategic purpose, but the situation was indeed as Hu Hua said, and then Min Shiyuan asked: "Then according to what Hu Gong saw, what should we do now?" ”

Hu Hua thought for a long time, and then said: "Since Wei Ran's purpose is to force General Fuqu to return to Luoyang, then it means that General Fuqu not only repelled the Western Dynasty army in Puzhou, but is more likely to achieve greater results, but I don't know why, Nanqi got the news one step ahead of us, and now temporarily sticks to Luoyang, and then lets He Basheng lead the army westward to Puzhou and Tongguan to respond." ”

Min Shiyuan objected: "General Heba has made a new great contribution, is it inappropriate to transfer him out at this time?" ”

Hu Hua was really heartbroken for Min Shiyuan at this time, and said to Min Shiyuan: "It is precisely because of his new great achievements that he needs to lead the army out of Luoyang, Wei Ran will not besiege Luoyang in a short time, and his bluff plan is known, if he really wants to attack Luoyang, he should mobilize enough soldiers and horses in Huinanqi." ”

Hu Hua looked at the ignorant Min Shiyuan, and secretly sighed in his heart that although Min Shiyuan was more open-minded and sincere than his father Min Guan, his political acumen was indeed inferior to Min Guan, and he immediately hinted: "There is only one person in the army who has prestige, and that is Jin Gong, although the Fuqu Daxingtai is quite majestic now, but it is also given by Jin Gong, if Wei Ran retires in a few days, then who is the first person to force Wei Ran to retreat?" Is it Jin Gong, or He Basheng? ”

Min Shiyuan finally understood at this time, Wei Ran's dismissal was almost a foregone conclusion, so He Batsheng would be useless at this time, but if He Batsheng was transferred out, if Wei Ran wanted to make a move in the direction of Puzhou, then He Batsheng could also ensure the safety of the Eastern Qin army, and use it to deal with Fuqu Admittedly, Hu Hua's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Indeed, as Hu Hua said, Wei Ran was also depressed in the camp late at night, and the suspicious plan of the army feint actually damaged the general, which is simply ridiculous and generous.

Zhang Gui's death Wei Ran also made mistakes, knowing that Zhang Gui was arrogant by nature, and ordered him to be optimistic about such a critical moment, he died before he left the school, and his death was confused and unknown.

Liu Renye came in at this time to report the situation to Wei Ran, and said, "The vigilance has been strengthened tonight, and the King of Qin can rest assured." ”

Wei Ran sighed and asked: "We waited for the army to besiege Luoyang, which was to force Eastern Qin to withdraw from Tongguan and let Western Qin occupy Tongguan, the emperor and Min Shiyuan were both in Luoyang, even if Fuqu admittedly knew that Luoyang could not be easily conquered by us, but he was a courtier, how could he not save the king?" Now that we are waiting for the loss of the army, Renye, what do you think we should do next? ”
