06 Make your own claims
Facing Xie Yixiang's chaotic departure from the blade, Yan Sidao was not afraid this time, but asked lightly: "Miss Xie San, do you know that our 'Pingyu Coalition Army' may not last for three days?"
Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be stunned, and then strengthened her mind, and said angrily: "You don't want to be alarmist here!" But he sighed and said: "The two sides are allied with thieves, and in the end, one side will always suffer, but during the errand of 'gnawing bones' and 'eating meat', more or less, should be exchanged and replaced, so as to convince the public." But now that our soldiers have been fighting all the way to this day, Miss Xie San still wants us to continue to 'gnaw bones', as if this kind of shameless act of harming others and benefiting oneself and pretending to benefit the public and selfish interests is naturally what the little Taoist of your family meant, yes or no? If I guess correctly, this Guigu descendant must also say that if we refuse to comply, then we will disband this 'Pingyu Alliance' on the spot, yes or no?"
Xie Yixiang said coldly: "It's good if you know!" Yan Sidao sighed again, shook his head and said: "Miss Xie San, now that you are also the one who commands the army, you must know the difficulties. How to make the soldiers under his command sincerely obey is the biggest problem in marching and fighting. To tell the truth, this time from Ningyi City to Taizhou Mansion, more than 600 miles, during which more than 30 battles, large and small, were all desperately 'gnawed bones' by our side, in this regard, the soldiers under his command have already been miserable, full of complaints, if it were not for me and General Sun to use both soft and hard, appeasement and pressure, I am afraid that there has already been a mutiny in the army. ”
Xie Yixiang was shocked, and she didn't know whether what Yan Sidao said was true or false. Then Yan Sidao continued: "So the battle of Gu Yuncheng that is currently in front of you and me, if the soldiers of our army continue to bear the drudgery of 'gnawing bones', I am afraid that without the help of the little Taoist leader of your family, the two thousand sergeants under the command of General Sun will lose control on the spot, or even abscond from the battle, thus causing the entire 'Pingyu Alliance' to collapse and allow the Japanese to continue to run rampant on the border between Jiangsu and Zhejiang." With such an ending, is it really what Miss Xie San wants to see?"
Xie Yixiang was speechless when she heard the analysis of De Yizi before, and when she decided to come to Yan Sidao to negotiate, she had already made up her mind that she would let the Hengwang rebels continue to fight head-on. Who knew that Yan Sidao had been sleepless late at night, and had been thinking hard about how to calm the situation, and it was inevitable that he would be a little shaken. At this moment, when she heard the difficulty revealed by Yan Sidao, Xie Yixiang thought about it carefully, but it was indeed the truth.
Regardless of the Hengwang rebels who "gnawed bones" all the way, even the two thousand soldiers on their own side "ate meat" all the way and only chose easy errands, which has been quite complaining so far. You must know that the support army brought by General Yang to Ningyi City was originally the garrison of Tongling, Xuancheng and Huzhou, and most of them were poor people who could not afford to eat.
With Xie Yixiang's hesitation, Yan Sidao immediately climbed up the pole, and said: "Today, Miss Xie San must have known that this time I was entrusted by Mr. Qingtian to join hands to quell this rebellion, I am bent on fulfilling my promise, even if I am a little careful, I just want to take the opportunity to make some benefits, but the little Taoist of your family is not here at all, and from beginning to end, he has not spent any time on these Dongying Japanese robbers, but wants to calculate on me. Dare to ask Miss Xie San, now that foreign enemies are attacking, as a son and daughter of the Han people, and after General Xie, it is reasonable for you to be on whose side?"
Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be silent, and after a half-loud groan, he slowly let out a long breath and said, "The two of you have your own reasoning, I ...... I do not know. Why don't you go with me to the little Taoist priest, and everyone will make it clear to everyone?"
Hearing this, Yan Sidao couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to push away the mess around his neck, and asked: "Farewell from the imprisoned Tiancun, the little Taoist of your family returned from a miserable defeat, and has always held a grudge against me, is it possible that he is finally willing to talk to me now?"
Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and immediately scolded herself for being confused. Now that these two people are on the same page, how can they negotiate calmly? Otherwise, how could she be caught between them along the way, and she was so tired and exhausted? At that moment, she had to put away her chaos and said: "In this way, neither of you two is willing to back down, and you can't sit down and discuss it properly, so what should be the battle of Gu Yuncheng tomorrow?"
But he smiled when he heard the words, and said lightly: "As far as I know, the sword seal of Ningyi City's Taishou is now in your hands, Miss Xie San, and even the two deputy generals Chen and Zhu sent by Yang Fengbo and Yang Lao General secretly have to listen to your dispatch, not to mention the two thousand military horses under your command? As for the Guigu heir, hehe, in fact, it is the same as me, but he is an idler in the army. To put it nicely, it is a 'military advisor', and if it is difficult to put it mildly, it is a 'strategist', so what right does it have to interfere with the commander's decision?"
Hearing this, Xie Yixiang was dumbfounded, and blurted out, "Are you ...... Do you want me to call the shots directly and ignore that little Taoist priest?" Yan Sidao slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and asked rhetorically, "Besides, can Miss Xie San come up with other clever plans to protect the 'peaceful Japanese coalition army' between you and me?"
Xie Yixiang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to focus on the overall situation. At that moment, she didn't say much, and asked Yan Sidao to send someone to the imperial court's own military camp, and secretly called the two deputy generals Chen and Zhu over. Later, General Sun, the commander of the rebel side, also arrived with three lieutenant generals, and after a little greeting, everyone discussed in the camp tent of Yan Sidao, and worked out a detailed tactic for capturing this Guyun City tomorrow overnight.
In the face of everyone present, you said a word and I said a word, but Yan Sidao was just a wall-by-side spectator, alone on the side, puffing out dry smoke, and did not say a word from beginning to end, and General Sun was in full charge. After discussing this for half an hour, everyone finally agreed that Sun Xin, the "white-armored angry horse", rejected General Sun's proposal, and followed the idea of "ten rules of encirclement" in the Art of War, and used his own 4,000 troops to form an encirclement of the five or six hundred Dongying Japanese in Gu Yun City.
Then General Sun gave a detailed explanation. It is said that this Guyun City, which was built near the sea, was originally a small port city built in the Tang Dynasty, and there were only four city gates in total: east, west, south and north. Among them, the northern, western, and southern gates are all open to the land, and the city wall is only three feet and six feet, but it is not difficult to break through; only the east gate opens to the east sea, which is the port used to go to sea in the old days, and there are many sea ships berthed.
Since the "Ping-Japanese coalition army" formed by the two sides were all infantry cavalry, and they were not capable of conducting water warfare at all, if they attacked the northern, western, and southern gates with an absolutely superior force, it would inevitably cause the morale of the Japanese in the city to be demoralized, and they chose to abandon the city and flee, and sailed out to sea from the port at the east gate. Therefore, this so-called "encirclement trend" will eventually return to the core strategy of "luring the enemy into battle and setting up ambushes to exterminate them."
In this regard, General Sun's tactics were not complicated, and the two lieutenants of the imperial court, Chen and Zhu, each led their own 500 soldiers to the north and south gates of Gu Yuncheng to put pressure on the Japanese in the city; at the same time, he ordered a group of more than 200 recruits temporarily recruited from Taizhou Mansion to attack the west gate of Gu Yuncheng head-on.
In this way, a total of twice as many troops as the Japanese in the city to storm the city, stationed in the city, this group of Japanese robbers, claiming to be the descendants of what kind of "middle strip one knife stream", as the defending side of the city, in order to protect the den of Gu Yuncheng, it is very likely that they will choose to go out of the city to face the battle, and directly fight with the more than 200 recruits who attacked the west gate.
Once the Japanese really came out of the city, their own troops and horses in the north, west, and south of the three gates pretended to be invincible, and the whole army retreated westward, luring the Japanese who had come out of the city into a dangerous place on the official road in the west, and then a thousand soldiers under the command of General Sun who had laid an ambush in advance killed them by surprise and wiped them all on the spot. At the same time, the other 1,000 soldiers under General Sun's command would also come out of the woods south of Gu Yuncheng in time and take advantage of the weakness to capture the entire Gu Yuncheng.
After listening to the tactics formulated by General Sun, the faces of the two lieutenants, Chen and Zhu, were a little ugly. Obviously, under such an arrangement, although it was the recruits who had just been recruited from the local area who really "gnawed the bones", and even wanted to lure the enemy with their lives, the 1,000 men and horses who drove to the north and south gates of Guyun City were obviously thankless. In comparison, whether it is a thousand people who set up an ambush to annihilate the enemy, or a thousand people who take advantage of the city, it is a beauty difference of "eating meat".
However, seeing that Miss Xie San did not object, and that she was in the other party's camp at the moment, no matter how dissatisfied Chen and Zhu were, the two deputy generals could only remain silent and accept the order with great reluctance. Then everyone finalized the details one by one, and when everything was explained, General Sun asked Yan Sidao on the side for advice and asked him to make the final decision.
Yan Sidao was already exhausted, and it seemed that he hadn't slept well for many days, and he relied on the dry smoke in his hand to refresh himself, so he barely supported himself until this time. Hearing General Sun's inquiry, he stretched his waist and said with a smile: "When facing the enemy, after all, you have to rely on the four words 'improvisation', since General Sun has arranged it in such detail, then I will do what you want first." If you want to talk about the experience of fighting with the Dongying Japanese Invaders, looking at the three armies, there is no one who can compare to you, the 'white armor angry horse'. ”
