Chapter 54: The Difficulties of Danzhou
Danzhou county seat, the palace of the king. Meng Daxi was also discussing the situation with his ministers.
Since the change of the Zhuya army and the appearance of a small detachment of the Vietnamese army at the north gate of Danzhou (Zeng Yiqi's three people made trouble at the north gate), the entire Danzhou City has become tense.
Meng Daxi was also very panicked, he had seen the skills of the Vietnamese army. In the past, he followed the Vietnamese army of the King of the South China Sea to fight in Lingnan Province. Later, he was stationed in Leizhou as a slang leader, and he was also regarded as a hegemon. After many years in Leizhou, he was so comfortable that he didn't like to fight now.
Meng Chengke: "King Qiyu, the last time the Vietnamese army appeared at the north gate, but there were only three wanderers in exile in Danzhou, not the Vietnamese army troops arrived in Danzhou. However, some of the Vietnamese military spies followed the migrating refugees to the Danzhou border. ”
Minister Zuo Meng Lang: "Lord Commander, have these spies entered the city, have you caught them and forced them to ask?"
Meng Chengke: "Master Zuo Cheng doesn't need to worry, I will deal with the spy matter,"
When Minister Zuo heard this, he became angry, "What time is it now? The commander still wants to put up a fight, can't he share the spy matter?"
Meng Chengke: "Lord Zuo Cheng, I will definitely inform you in time of anything that involves the city defense." Everyone is worried about the king, and I will definitely do what needs to be done. ”
Minister Zuo: "Okay, if the commander says this, the old man will be relieved." What are the movements of the Yue army in Zhuya, the commander can always talk about it, right? This matter of inquiring about the military situation has always been the work of your forbidden army guards. ”
Meng Chengke: "At present, there is no movement of the Yue army in Zhuya. However, some vanguard detachments entered the Danzhou border. I think they should be spying on the military and plotting against the six mountains. I have sent someone to closely monitor this matter. Even the vanguard of them can't make much waves. ”
Right Minister Meng Bo: "Has the commander checked the northern businessman Qiu Bufan and the cold face to kill demons, and whether they colluded with the Vietnamese army?"
Meng Chengke: "Lord Youcheng, Qiu Bufan and his party of three have been staying in the west of Danzhou City since entering the city, and there is no abnormal behavior. We judged that this person just wanted to come to Danzhou to make a fortune. Not a spy of the Vietnamese army. ”
Meng Bo: "What about the eight-armed Hengjiang Zeng four and one shot and killed the woman?"
Meng Chengke: "These two people are not spies of the Vietnamese army. ”
Meng Daxi coughed lightly and reminded everyone to pay attention, "Right Prime Minister, how about the one-shot killing woman and cold-faced killing demon killing that you contacted? Why don't you recruit such talents to work for us?"
The right minister Meng Bo: "King Qiyu, these two people are fierce and unruly. Weichen believes that at this time, it is not appropriate to recruit them into Danzhou City, so as to avoid complications. ”
Meng Daxi nodded, "Well, these people in the rivers and lakes are indeed easy to act recklessly. You're going to have to keep an eye on it. ”
Meng Chengke: "Yes, King. Now they have all left Danzhou City. Any action they make is under our control, rest assured, Your Majesty. ”
Meng Daxi smiled: "Okay, good." ”
Hou Jianhai, the head of the household department: "Lord Commander, do you know that the people from Apo Mountain have appeared next to Li Weide?"
Meng Chengke glared, a squire dared to ask me a question directly? If it weren't for the king, I would definitely teach you a lesson first!" "Lord Hou, there are a total of four people from Apo Mountain who followed Li Weide back to Danzhou City. ”
Hou Jianhai: "I don't know if Feng Zishan, who escaped from the prison, has the whereabouts of the commander?"
Meng Chengke: "There is no whereabouts for the time being. ”
Hou Jianhai: "Returning to the commander, the minister has a suggestion. The Commander can consider these people from Apo Mountain to start and look for them. ”
Meng Chengke: "What's the news?"
Hou Jianhai: "The minister is just guessing. Li Weide and Feng Zishan are friends, and there happen to be four masters from Poshan around him, so Xiao Chen dared to guess like this. ”
Meng Chengke: "Then thank you, Lord Hou." ”
Hou Jianhai: "Yes." ”
......
Most of what these ministers said was that Meng Daxi was not interested, what he wanted to hear was that the Vietnamese army was about to fight, what were the countermeasures of the ministers? What does it mean that the left and right sides did not mention it? Then ask for yourself!
Meng Daxi: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Cao killed our envoy to the peace talks, this is determined to fight a decisive battle with us." Do you have any countermeasures for the Vietnamese army's attack?"
Just wait for the king to ask, don't you ask how to show that our plan is important?
Meng Lang, the minister of Zuo: "King Qiyu, Weichen thinks that if Liu Cao's Vietnamese army wants to come to Danzhou, it must be a long journey." Coupled with the fact that they are fighting across the sea, there must be no backup. If the support is not enough, the morale of the army will be unstable. And we can use the strong walls of Danzhou to resist his attack. As long as we stick to Danzhou City, drag him for two months. In addition to our arrangements around Danzhou, the Vietnamese army was defeated. At that time, there will be sharks swimming fast in Danzhou Bay, and we must go through eight turns to return to the Pearl Cliff, and we will be able to capture Liu Cao'er alive. ”
"Well, that's good," Meng Daxi has heard it more than once, but it's still very reassuring to listen to it again.
The right minister Meng Bo had a different opinion, "King Qiyu is different from Lord Zuo. Wei Chen believes that when the Vietnamese army comes from afar, it must seek a quick battle. The best way is for us to avoid the limelight. ”
Meng Daxi: "You Cheng said it." ”
Meng Bo: "Weichen suggested that Danzhou County be ceded." We can move the army to the mountains and forests around the county, and place a small number of lure soldiers in the city. Once the Vietnamese army attacked the city, the soldiers in the city could abandon the city. Liu Cao'er must have thought that he had taken our city, and led the army into the city. Our army can take the opportunity to seize the Vietnamese warships and ships. And then take advantage of the geographical advantage of Danzhou City surrounded by mountains and water on both sides, and block it in Danzhou City. At that time, Liu Cao'er will definitely be caught. ”
"Okay, it's okay," Meng Daxi also gave encouragement, "It's just that this is to give up Danzhou City, and the newly built palace of this king is not going to be destroyed?"
Meng Bo: "King, if you follow the plan of Weichen, you will definitely be able to annihilate the Vietnamese army in the future." and then shook the Liu clan of Lingnan Province, making it incapable of raising troops to invade Danzhou again. In the next few decades, Danzhou can sit back and relax. ”
Meng Daxi hesitated, Meng Bo was right, this is the foundation of eternity.
It is absolutely impossible for Meng Lang, the minister of the left, to agree with the right Cheng's method, this is obviously a conspiracy of the right Cheng, to let his two years of hard work be in vain. "King, although Youcheng's strategy has some truth, the risk is extremely high, and it can't be used!"
Right Minister Meng Bo smiled, "Please make it clear to Zuo Cheng, where is the risk of our strategy?"
Meng Lang: "First, if our army moves out of Danzhou City, where will you let our army be stationed? Jianfeng Ridge? The Li family of the six major mountains around Danzhou is looking at us to move out of Danzhou City, so that they can attack us? You are putting the king in danger. Second, if the Vietnamese army does not enter the city, but garrisons the fleet. Aren't we throwing Danzhou City in vain? Danzhou City is a blessed land. How can you just give up?"
Meng Bo: "Zuo Cheng, those who do not seek eternity are not enough for a certain time." With the strength of our army, this risk can still be beared. ”
Meng Lang: "Right Cheng, don't you want to destroy the king's eternal inheritance!"
Meng Daxi had a headache, "Two ministers, King Rong Ben will think carefully and make a decision." ”
