Chapter 192: The banners are all heading north
Before the main Jun died, he was afraid that there would be changes, and he secretly ordered to kill Duan Niche and pit more than 3,000 disciples. State, Duan Jiu's ministry supported Duan Qian as the Qingzhou herd, raised troops to come to the front, and sent an envoy to the left of the river. Before it arrived, the city was shocked and at a loss. and suddenly, far and near. The orders are strict, the army is selfless, the law is simple and the government is lenient, and the Yan people are in peace, and they say: "I don't want to see the tiger king again today!" "Hearing it, it spreads to all places, and it is the name of the king of Zhengbei Mansion.
-------------- excerpt from the introduction
In October of the third year of Shengping, in the north of the city of Dangyin in Wei County, on the wide official road, a black dragon is slowly moving northward, countless banners are constantly fluttering in the autumn wind, making a pop sound, and the spear tips of countless cold light are like the scale armor on the black dragon's body, shining in the sun, and like the scales on the lakes and rivers, and the heavy footsteps and the sound of the nail leaves ripple together in the silent and empty Wei County wilderness. From time to time, a group of cavalry galloped past the two sides of the black dragon, and these cavalrymen with white feathers on their heads and also wearing black armor rolled up a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and quickly disappeared into the sky in front of the black dragon like a wind.
On a hill next to it, a group of Beifu generals stood here, looking north, watching their team roll towards the north like a rainbow. They stood together, faintly surrounding Wang Meng.
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your forgiveness!" Deng Qiang had been nervous, seeing Wang Meng's radiant spirits, he was in a very good mood, and the other generals around him also gathered together to discuss, and they didn't notice this, so they quietly leaned in with Lu Guang, Mao Dang, and Yang An, and whispered.
"It seems that you are still thinking about Xu Cheng's matter." Wang Meng turned his head when he heard the sound. glanced at Deng Qiang and the others, and then said slowly.
After the war, the military judge of the Military Justice Department investigated the Xu Cheng incident in detail, and finally ruled that Xu Cheng had violated military law, and Mao Zheng's actions were justified, and reported it to the whole army. But because Deng Qiang and the others fought bravely and didn't know about it at the time, Wang Meng and Judge Jun didn't trouble the four of them, but only rewarded them for their merits. It's just that the four of them know the relationship with Xu Cheng in their hearts. So I can't put it down.
"Lord Wang. Xu Cheng is my old subordinate. He also saved my life on the battlefield three times, which can be regarded as a brotherhood. Deng Qiang slowed down and continued, "I know Xu Cheng, saying that he is timid and afraid of death, that is impossible, he has taken the lead in every bloody battle before, and he has crawled out of the pile of dead people several times. He may have been worried that the sergeants would suffer too many casualties. So stopped. And he's too small-minded and narrow-minded....... ”
Wang Meng nodded and agreed with Deng Qiang's statement. Xu Cheng has also heard that the people brought out by Deng Qiang cannot be cowards, but they are too arrogant, their minds are not high, and they are not very familiar with the military system of Beifu, and they always act in the same way as Zhou Guo. Thought that the whole battalion would collapse if there were a few casualties. I know that the Beifu Army is completely different, take the forward middle camp as an example, only more than 100 people are still fighting in the end. Let the other side of the army almost go crazy. In addition, Mao Zhengyi is also a straight person, and he speaks straightforwardly, but as a result, Xu Cheng was annoyed, and he was overwhelmed by personal grievances, so Mao Zhengyi was given military law.
"I take you and others as the forward, just to use your revenge and hatred, I can't imagine that Xu Cheng made a mistake among them, but it's a pity!" Wang Meng then sighed.
"Thank you Lord Wang for taking care of us, but it's a pity that Xu Cheng, this kid, is too uncompetitive and almost missed a big event, which made Lord Wang waste all his efforts." Deng Qiang hurriedly said that he, Lu Guang, Yang An, and Mao Dang had always thought that Wang Meng was taking care of himself and waiting for the generals of the Zhou State, so that these new people who had joined the Beifu would make more meritorious contributions and be qualified to stand among the generals of the Beifu.
"Lord Wang's kindness is as thick as the sky and the earth is high, and we will definitely take Lord Wang's head as the horse." Deng Qiang, Lu Guang, Yang An, and Mao Dang said in a low voice, showing their hearts.
Wang Meng took a deep look at Deng Qiang and the four of them, and then said in a low voice: "It's not okay to take my horse's head as a leader, only with the general's horse head can I keep my wealth and wealth for a long time." ”
Wang Meng's words made Deng Qiang and the four of them stunned, and they quickly understood. There are Changshui factions in Beifu, beneficial Liang factions, and Jiangbei factions, which are also divided into new factions and conservatives, each faction has its own leading figures, for example, Wang Meng is the leader of the Jiangbei faction, and what Deng Qiang and the three of them just said is to show that they want to be headed by Wang Meng and join the Jiangbei faction. But Wang Meng's words just now made Deng Qiang and the three of them understand that no matter how they were assigned in Beifu, they were under Zeng Hua's control, and maybe this kind of open and secret struggle between various factions was deliberately done by Zeng Hua. If Deng Qiang and the others rashly join a faction, once they violate Zeng Hua's intentions, this general of Beifu can make you doomed with a word.
"It seems that you don't understand what I really mean by using you four as strikers." Wang Meng stayed for a while and then said, and then he greeted and gathered everyone together.
"Can you tell me why I want to use Deng Qiang's four people to lead the ordinary infantry army as the vanguard, instead of using the Mo Dao Army to directly attack the Yan army?" Wang Meng and the others asked loudly after gathering.
Listening to Wang Meng's question, Deng Qiang, Lu Guang, Yang An, and Mao Dang were the parties involved, so it was difficult to speak, but Deng Qiang and Lu Guang were more alert and a little thoughtful, while Yang and Mao were still thinking hard.
Duan Huan and Zhao Fu were still as silent as a mountain, their faces remained unchanged like water, and they had no expressions, as if this matter had nothing to do with the two of them. And the left and right exploration will Zhang know that he can't figure it out, so he simply doesn't think about it, just stands aside with a smile and is silent; Deng Yao
With a smile, he naturally knows the mystery, but he is not a lover, so he just stands there silent. As for Hou Ming, Lu Cai, Cang and other generals, they have figured it out, but they are too far behind the previous four, and they are all under the four of them, since everyone is silent, it is difficult for them to speak out; I didn't think about it, and naturally I didn't dare to make a stink.
In the end, Zhuge Cheng's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and the new military achievements were high, and when he saw that the generals did not make a sound, he couldn't help but rush out.
"When my subordinates were studying in the Chang'an Military Academy, I had the privilege of listening to the general's lectures. The great general once said that one of the keys to victory on the battlefield is to invest the right troops in the right place at the right time. Zhuge Cheng talked eloquently, "The Yan army has 300,000 men and horses. Among them, there are 100,000 elites. Coach Murong Ping is greedy and shameless, but he is also a person who knows the soldiers. Looking at his formation, in addition to the 70,000 elites in the front army, there are also 50,000 signing troops in the front, in order to consume and hinder the advance of our army. ”
Hearing this, people who don't understand began to understand a little and nodded frequently.
"The Han book says: At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't enter Lu Xuan. The courage of the Modao Army can be the crown of the world. Attacking the Yan Army's forward will definitely destroy the withering and decaying. However, the front army of the Yan Army was as many as ten layers. The Modao Army assaulted the signing army in the first three layers of the Yan Army. But the momentum must have fallen, and when he meets the elite of the Yan Army again, he is afraid that the edge is no longer sharp. Once they do not enter the confrontation, the numerical superiority of the Yan army will definitely understand, and our army will be in danger. ”
"The general manager takes General Deng's four people to lead the ordinary infantry army as the vanguard, one takes the sharpness of General Deng's four people, and the other can break the Yan army to sign the army. Continuing to fight against the Ti army, it will definitely seriously deplete its morale and strength, once the strength of the Ti army declines, the Modao army will take advantage of the situation to enter, and it will definitely be broken in a battle, and if you take the opportunity to take the army, the Yan army will be defeated. The outcome of the battle also showed that the commander-in-chief's subordinates were legitimate. ”
After listening to Zhuge Cheng's words, everyone couldn't help but nod. And Wang Meng also smiled approvingly there.
Bingye is right. Although we can despise the 300,000 troops of the Yan army, we cannot take it lightly once the war starts. The Modao Army is a sharp knife. The exploration army is a heavy hammer, and it is the key to our victory. We must use the sharp blades and the hammer at the right time, and once they are exhausted, it will be time for us to be defeated. Wang Meng added a few words.
The generals of the Northern Mansion have all heard Zeng Hua say these words. Zeng Hua proposed to use the tactics of digging out the heart and breaking the formation at the right time, which is the tactics of Li Shimin and Genghis Khan who summed up the "historical future", especially Li Shimin, who always likes to personally lead the Xuanjia cavalry to charge directly into the enemy's middle army at the critical time of the confrontation between the two armies, and the battle will be decided.
Wang Meng can also be regarded as a master, after comprehending the Zeng army, he used it flexibly, and broke the Yan army three times his own in one fell swoop, making the world even more amazed by the military strength of the Beifu soldiers.
"The Beifu Army has been painstakingly operated by the general for many years, and it is unparalleled in history in terms of military system, military law, military strength and military strength. Moreover, the responsibilities of generals, officers, and non-commissioned officers are clear, like an arm, so in addition to taking the lead, those who lead the army must also anticipate the enemy's immediate response. Xu Cheng's move may delay major events in other armies, but I won't worry that the Beifu Army will not let Xu Cheng succeed. ”
The more Wang Meng spoke, the more interested he became.
"Do you know why?" Wang Meng turned to Deng Qiang and asked the four humans.
Deng Qiang and the four of them thought about it, and finally shook their heads.
"The Beifu Army is invincible in the world, in addition to being well-trained, strict in military law, strict in military system, and well-equipped, the most important thing is a sense of honor." Wang Meng said with the expectant eyes of Deng Qiang and the others.
"Bingye (Zhuge Cheng), what is the motto of Chang'an Wubei Academy?" Wang Meng asked.
"Courage, responsibility and honor!"
"Courage is the courage to face death, responsibility is to protect the family and defend the country, and victory is the greatest honor for the soldiers of Beifu!" Wang Meng said loudly, "Why did Mao Zhengyi swing his knife to cut down Xu Cheng, and why did the forward middle battalion fight until there were only more than 100 people left?" Because Xu Cheng intended to retreat, he humiliated the whole battalion of the forward middle battalion, which was the last thing the Beifu soldiers could bear, and they could only use victory and death to wash away this shame. This is an important reason why the Beifu Army can win every battle! ”
Hearing Wang Meng's words, not only the hearts of Deng Qiang and the four of them were churning, but even Duan Huan and the others were still excited, it was really this sense of honor that went deep into the bones, which made countless Beifu soldiers fight to the death to fight for their greatest honor - victory!
Wang Meng and the others were speechless, just stared blankly at the army that was continuing to roll northward like a tide, the countless banners, the countless spear tips, and the countless black armor would conquer any enemy in front of them, and no one could stop them from advancing.
After a long while, Wang Meng suddenly said to the herald: "Tell the whole army, speed up, and conquer the city to meet the general!" ”
In the astonished gaze of the generals, the herald galloped forward beside the army, and loudly conveyed Wang Meng's order, and after a while, like a wave of waves, a burst of cheers was aroused, and countless spears and steel knives were raised in the air, flashing a dazzling white light, and the banner rolling northward reflected in the brilliance.
