215. The Dawn (continued)
"This person is the one you recommended?" Tuobasu saw it, and asked in a low voice to the side.
"I went to the Song Kingdom before and got along with this person for a few days in Luoyang, and King Anbei was full of praise for him. Budui hurriedly responded after hearing the inquiry.
"Yang'er has always been correct in looking at people, and it seems that this person has some ability. Tuoba Su nodded and said. After nodding his head, he shook his head again and continued.
"It's just a pity that Yang'er was born at the wrong time. ”
"General, be cautious. Budui hurriedly reminded after hearing the words.
"Boy, why are you shaking your head, do you have a different opinion?"
Tuoba Su didn't pay attention to the reminder, turned back to look at Sima and asked, asking him. Before the words had been spoken, the rest of the tent looked at him.
"Does the general want to hear the truth, or does he want to hear the jokes?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sima Wenzhi was not timid or afraid, and asked back directly.
"You kid, aren't you entertaining me, who wants to listen to your jokes. Tuoba Su was a little angry when he heard this, and he scolded while informing him of his decision.
Sima Wenzhi heard the reprimand, but did not panic, and then expressed his opinion.
"The way of using troops, the upper attack the heart, the lower siege of the city. Although His Majesty ordered people to rush to make siege equipment, he made the King of Nanyang press last, and the intention was very obvious. The infantry siege is only a last resort, and His Majesty wants to try the heart attack technique first, and if it doesn't work, the infantry battalion will be used. ”
Sima asked, this attack on Tongwan, the infantry is just a foil, although it is not dispensable, but it is by no means the main force of the attack.
The camp was full of infantry generals and strategists, and although his words were not arrogant, they were really ugly. When the people heard this, they spoke against it one after another.
"Besides, listening to the prince's story, His Majesty sent people to deliver the emperor's orders one after another, but no one came for two days. The subordinates thought that if they needed to help each other urgently, such a thing would not happen. We can wait here and wait for another person to come and give orders. ”
Seeing this, Sima Wenzhi ignored it, and spoke loudly again and said what was in his heart.
As soon as the words ended, the voices of opposition in the camp became louder. Tuoba Su didn't stop it, and after nodding his head, he began to think about it.
He agreed with Sima Wenzhi's thoughts, and he thought more.
In addition to the fact that there is no need to rush to the camp, there is also a situation. Helian Chang knew that Wei was coming, so he laid an ambush halfway, and more than 30,000 vanguard soldiers and horses of Wei were slaughtered.
But this situation is somewhat absurd.
The 3,000 scouts and 30,000 pioneers were all cavalry, which could reach several times the infantry battalion. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Xia State fought with Da Xijin in Guanzhong, and the remaining soldiers and horses were unable to defeat the more than 30,000 cavalry.
Even if Helian Chang used trickery to win more with less, it would not be possible to slaughter all the more than 30,000 Wei cavalry, and there would always be defeated soldiers and horses who fled back.
Whether you are waiting for the emperor's order or waiting for the rout, you need to wait. Although Sima Wenzhi's advice was a bit hurtful, it was very useful.
"Set up camp today and wait until tomorrow day after dawn to make a choice. ”
After making a decision in his heart, Tuoba stopped the voices of the crowd from talking, and then gave the order. Seeing that someone wants to open his mouth to refute, he will give an order.
"I have made up my mind on this matter, so I don't want to persuade him again. ”
After hearing this, the generals had no choice but to leave.
The camp tent was discussed, and Sima asked almost the latest. When he left, he did not leave until most of the generals and the army had left. When the other generals passed in front of him, many of them looked sideways at him, with strange looks in their eyes.
Sima asked him to accept it calmly.
Everyone looked at him with admiration and caution in their eyes.
Whether it is the rise of a person or a country, it is inevitable that the original interests will be touched. He had expected everyone's reaction, but he didn't expect it to come so early.
After coming out of Tuoba Su's main camp, Sima Wenzhi did not go back to his resting place first, and went directly to Tuoba Longyang. When he got there, he was feeding Langya jerky.
"Senior brother, what is the outcome of the discussion?"
Seeing Sima Wenzhi walking in, Tuoba Longyang stuffed a piece of jerky into Langya's mouth, and then asked.
"King Changshan has ordered to camp here today. When to march again, make a decision tomorrow after dawn. Sima Wenzhi walked up to Langya and squatted down, stroking her back while responding.
"Why?" Tuoba Longyang was puzzled.
"King Changshan is your uncle, why don't you ask him the reason directly?" Sima asked without getting up, bowing his head in response.
Tuoba Longyang didn't expect him to respond like this, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to speak.
"What the hell is going on, you, as the royal family of the Wei State, can't discuss things together?" Sima asked seeing that he didn't react, he got up and asked.
"A few days ago, there was news in the imperial city that Mrs. Wei He was found to be pregnant. Tuoba Longyang hesitated a little after hearing this, and told the news after being entangled.
After Sima asked, all the doubts in his heart were eliminated.
When the Tuoba clan was still hunting in the tribe, it was the rule that the leader of the tribe would succeed him. After going from the Dai Kingdom to the Wei State, it gradually became the father and the son.
However, the emperor of Wei Tuoba Tao still has no heirs, and outsiders rumor that he injured his blood during the war and could not be delayed. Coupled with the fact that the throne of Tuoba Longyang was usurped by a conspiracy, in recent years, there have gradually been forces around him.
Even if someone is attached, Tuoba Tao is on the throne and can decide the life and death of anyone in the Wei State. Although Tuoba Longyang was not murdered, he was also at a disadvantage.
Now that He is pregnant, the rumor that Tuoba Tao cannot continue the bloodline is self-defeating. After the He family gives birth to the baby, it is unpredictable how many people will stay by Tuoba Longyang's side.
"When you go back this time, will he kill you?" asked Sima Zhizhi after thinking about it.
"Yes. Tuoba Longyang replied.
After Sima asked, his brows furrowed.
"Nor will it. As soon as he wrinkled, Tuoba Longyang changed his words.
"It's the same as not saying. Sima Wenzhi rolled his eyes.
When the two were talking about Tuobatao, Tuoba Tao led the vanguard of the Wei army to sweep through Junzijin and reach Balin Mountain. Soon after arriving, he ordered someone to give up all the baggage in the general, travel lightly, and make a quick surprise attack on Tongwan City.
After hearing this, Changsun Han and other Wei generals hurriedly spoke to dissuade them.
Tongwan City is extremely strong, and it cannot be captured overnight. Before the surprise attack on Tongwan, Helian Chang had already suffered a big loss. If he goes to raid again this time, he will not be in danger on this again, and he will definitely close the city gate and wait for Helianding's rescue.
At that time, the Wei army was attacked on both sides, and there was no supply of grain and grass, and the people's hearts were unstable and there would be great chaos.
"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. Even if you wait until the infantry camp, the siege casualties will be very large. We made him despise him and tempted him to send troops. Although 30,000 soldiers could not attack the city, it was enough to fight a decisive battle with the defenders of Tongwan. ”
After Tuoba Tao listened, he rejected all the persuasion words of the generals, and made a decision by one person.
When the generals saw this, they could only listen to orders.
Before he was about to march again, Tuoba Tao ordered his men to choose two fast horses, take their tokens and return along the same road, and go to find the foot camp behind him to tell the message.
