Chapter 30: The Frontline Military Intelligence Passes Around!
"Although I don't know the specific number, I can probably guess the number of troops that can be mobilized in these three continents according to the layout in Wangzhou City."
"Oh? The general said to hear it! ”
Yuwen Shihong was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart was really worthy of being an old general, and his control of the war was still at a high level!
Liang Shiyan took a deep breath and said with a heavy expression.
"Probably...... Twice as many as all the troops stationed on the front line of our army! ”
"What the general said is all the front lines of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?!"
Yuwen Shihong was shocked when he heard this, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou on the front line, about 70,000, were ambushed by the Northern Qi at Longgu Pass a few months ago, and 20,000 people died, and now there are 50,000 left.
If it is twice the strength of all the troops on the Northern Zhou front, it is about 100,000 people!
After everyone thought about it, they suddenly gasped in horror.
At this time, the number of troops in Wangzhou City was only about 10,000, and the rest were south of the Huai River!
The military generals of Wenchen suddenly knelt on the ground and wept.
"Your Majesty, we can't defend this Wangzhou City!"
Yuwen Shihong put on a sad and angry look on his face, and slammed the dragon chair and stood up.
"I hate that my Northern Zhou is weak, if it was in the early years, why would I be bullied like this by the little Northern Qi!"
"Wangzhou City should be the most prosperous economic city in my Northern Zhou Dynasty, but it has been occupied by the Northern Qi Dynasty for many years, and it is not easy to take it back, and it will face such a test! How can the people of Wangzhou City miss home, and I will suffer for them! ”
The ministers looked at each other, some of them were infected by this remark, and they couldn't help but cry.
"Your Majesty, the people of Wangzhou don't want to return to their roots, we can't let the people down anymore!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must defend Wangzhou City!"
Seeing this, Liang Shiyan said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, do you already have a city in your heart?"
He remembered what Yuwen Shihong said before, that there was already a way to deal with the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he couldn't help but have some hope in his heart.
Perhaps, the emperor really has a way to defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty?
This little emperor has already given them too many surprises, why can't they look forward to it?
Liang Shiyan gritted his teeth and raised his head sharply.
"If the emperor really has a foolproof plan, please also ask the emperor to instruct that this time Weichen is willing to go to the front line to implement the plan for the emperor in person, and ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Liang Shiyan is now the general of the dart banner, although the military power in his hand has been handed over, but his prestige in the army is still there, if he goes to the battlefield in person, it will inevitably make the morale of the Northern Zhou Dynasty soar!
When the courtiers heard this, they couldn't help but look shocked and shocked.
"General Liang actually decided to go to the battlefield himself!"
"General Liang is an old hero of the first generation of my dynasty, how many enemy troops were broken by leading troops to fight back then, if General Liang really went to the front, then I will have a chance in this battle in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!"
"That's right, General Liang and other figures personally commanded it, and it will definitely boost the morale of those little soldiers!"
The courtiers were all excited.
Yuwen Shihong heard Liang Shiyan make such a guarantee, and his heart was also relieved.
It seems that General Liang's sword is not old, and he is still willing to do something for him, the emperor!
Seeing that everyone's expectant eyes fell on him, Yuwen Shihong laughed and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, I do have a strategy in mind, but now is not the time to say, the time is not yet ripe, you hold on for a few more days, and I will tell you personally in a few days!"
"Of course, we must defend this Wangzhou City! Not only to guard, but also to guard beautifully, to guard the henchmen of Northern Qi! ”
The ministers couldn't help but glance at each other a few times, and they were a little puzzled in their hearts.
What kind of strategy should wait for the time to come? But they had no choice but to trust the Emperor's promises!
However, many generals still have some drums in their hearts, after all, the emperor looks young, not yet in time, and is a teenager.
How many young people of this age in aristocratic families still only know how to walk dogs and play birds, and spend all day drinking and wandering between the markets?
No matter how precocious the emperor is, he shouldn't have any tricks to really defeat the Northern Qi army, right?
Therefore, most people are still opposed to the watchman state, believing that it is too risky!
Of course, with Li Bing's experience, even if everyone has an opinion in their hearts, they don't dare to say it easily, so they can only secretly wait for the opportunity to depend on the situation.
Yuwen Shihong saw that no one spoke, and after groaning, he asked.
"Which general is stationed in Wangzhou City now? Is the messaging timely? ”
Wangzhou and the Northern Zhou are bordered by the Huai River, and it is normal if the news is not transmitted in a timely manner, but Yuwen Shihong still wants to try his best to ensure that this aspect of the matter does not delay any urgent report.
Liang Shiyan still knows these things very well, and after hearing this, he thought about it for a while.
"The generals guarding in Wangzhou City now are probably two generals, Da Xizhen and Yuwenhu, leading 10,000 soldiers to guard Wangzhou, and the news transmission depends on the weather, and the pigeons cultivated in the army can cross the Huai River within an hour!"
Yuwen Shihong asked again.
"What is the personality of the two generals, Yuwen Hu and Da Xizhen?"
"General Yuwen Hu is a little younger, unsteady in his actions, and a little frizzy, but he is strong in martial arts, and he can defeat a hundred with one enemy! General Da Xizhen is more stable, can sit in the rear to control and occupy, and his archery skills are very superb. ”
Yuwen Shihong nodded secretly in his heart, this combination is still very reasonable, it seems that these soldiers on the front line have something, and it is not simple.
This also made Yuwen Shihong's heart slightly lifted.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid that the enemy is too strong, you are afraid that your own people are too pigs! If you're all stinkers, you might as well not have any of them!
It seems that these generals still exceeded his expectations, no wonder they were able to take Wangzhou City and achieve victory under such difficult circumstances!
"Okay, please also ask General Liang to tell the two generals one thing, that is, don't make assertions, and report back as soon as there is a situation! Everything is important for the safety of the people, as for grain and grass, as long as it can be bought on the north bank of the Huai River, it will be bought, if the money is not enough, my treasury will be opened to support them! ”
"In addition, I also ask General Yuwen Hu to go to Wangzhou City to see if the people are willing to participate in the conscription and serve the country!"
Then, he looked at Liang Shiyan.
"General Liang, I will entrust this matter to you, okay?"
Liang Shiyan was moved in his heart when he heard this, the emperor trusted him so much, he must not live up to it!
"The emperor can rest assured, Weichen will definitely be able to do it well!"
After explaining the relevant situation on the battlefield, Yuwen Shihong announced the dissolution of the dynasty.
All the courtiers left worriedly.
Yuwen Shihong immediately returned to his weapon department again and further improved his weapon!
"The black powder has been made, now it's time to put him in the fire system and try it!"
