Chapter 959: Military Heart
"Li Xiang, the last general is incompetent!" Tian Ping knelt on one knee, extremely ashamed.
Li Ze let out a long laugh, walked out from behind the big case, helped Tian Ping with both hands, and said: "Tiger Prison, this is the world's Xiongguan, Xu Fu is even more talented, such a person, it is difficult to come out of a hundred years, what is the point of winning or losing for a while?" The general trend is still in our hands, no matter how strong Xu Fu is, it is just a life-and-death struggle. ”
"Thank you Li Xiang for not sinning!" Tian Ping looked at You Yong, Shi Zhuang, and Liu Ruyan on the left and right, and retreated to the side with a flushed face.
Li Ze sat down after returning to the big case and raised his hand: "Everyone sit down!" If you want to take Luoyang, you must first go to the tiger prison, today it is rare for everyone to gather together, so let's talk about their opinions, how to take the tiger prison as soon as possible? ”
Tian Ping moved his body a little uneasily, raised his eyes to look at Li Ze, opened his mouth to speak, but lowered his head again. He is now considered a defeated general, and he really doesn't have the face to speak first.
Seeing Tian Ping's embarrassment, Li Ze pointed at him with a smile and said, "General Tian has been fighting for so long, he should have the most experience, let's talk about the gains and losses, right?" ”
Tian Ping swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Li Xiang, in fact, in fact, if the whole army is pressed against it, with the absolute superiority of our army in equipment, it will be able to take the Tiger Pass." It's just, it's just ......"
Li Ze nodded: "It's not wrong to cherish the lives of soldiers." At present, the general trend is on me, there is indeed no need to fill in with human lives, you have done a good job of this, and do not ignore the lives of soldiers because of your own military exploits, you know, there is only one human life. It's gone, it's gone. For us, a soldier's life may be just a number, but for those soldiers, it is a family. This time, on the way to the inspection, I saw an old Han family surnamed Ba, and in addition to the underage doll, there was only such an old man who had reached the age of 60. His greatest wish was to pay off all the debts of his family before he died, and leave a little wealth to future generations. ”
Tian Ping glanced at Li Ze gratefully.
"So, it's good to have one less death." Li Ze continued: "Attacking this kind of Xiongguan is the most difficult battle in itself, and we need to use our brains to defeat the enemy with fewer casualties. You Yong, let's talk about it! ”
You Yong nodded: "Li Xiang, the tiger prison is difficult, the key is not how difficult the tiger prison is, but Xu Fu." This person is known for his prestige, enjoys a very high reputation in the army, and has always been well-trained in the army, because this person is from an ordinary soldier step by step, so he has always been considerate of the soldier, so the soldier is willing to fight to the death for him. In fact, the morale of the Liang army in the Tiger Prison Pass is not high, and the fall of Xuanwu and other places has made these soldiers panicked. If Xu Fu died, everything would be solved. ”
"Xu Fu's personal strength is amazing, and it is extremely difficult to take him down on the battlefield." Tian Ping snorted: "And this person rarely goes out of the city, even if he goes out of the city, he will leave with one blow." He couldn't go into retreat, and he made up his mind to fight a war of attrition with us, which was really difficult. ”
"Then find a way to force him out of the city, force him to have a decisive battle with us!" Li Ze said with a smile.
"We have a great advantage in the field, as long as he is willing to go out of the city to fight with us in the field, Youjin Wuwei will have the confidence to annihilate them all." Tian Ping shook his head and said, "But Xu Fu also knows this, so for so long, no matter how I provoke, he doesn't care about it at all." ”
Li Ze smiled, looked back at Tian Bo beside him and said, "Tian Bo, you can talk about it." ”
Tian Bo took a step forward and said, "This time, when Li Xiang passed through Xuanwu, he did one thing. It is to ask the officials of Xuanwu to look for the families of those Xuanwu soldiers, as long as there are people in the family who are soldiers in the Liang army, they will let them write a letter, and there are enough letters like two carriages with us today. ”
Tian Ping's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"In the letter, the families of these people are telling about their current situation, telling about their longing, parents are looking forward to their proud children coming home to retire and see them off, wives will look forward to their husbands coming home for reunion, and children hope that their fathers can come home and they can be spoiled around their knees." Tian Bo said slowly: "I read a few letters, they are really touching, and they make people cry." ”
"In two days, put these letters into the city with trebuchets, Liang Jun is also a human being, and it is also flesh and blood, and it also has feelings, I believe that when they see these letters, homesickness, and homesickness will further amplify the unstable military spirit of Liang Jun, thus forcing Xu Fu to go out of the city to fight us." Li Ze said with a smile.
"In addition, we also found a few families, all of whom are the families of the middle and lower-level officers of the Liang army, although we are not sure if these officers are still alive, but tomorrow we can also go to the city to cry and shout. No matter what, it can always make the Liang Jun in the city empathize. Tian Bodao.
"These people want to come?"
"Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!" Tian Bo spread his hands and said: "One hundred silver dollars per person, some people are willing to come to the city to cry for this one." ”
"If Xu Fu decides to go out of the city to fight, this person will definitely be alone and come out, so in this battle, we also need to do our best, and this battle is not just a matter of the Youjin Wuwei family. It is still dominated by the Right Jin Wuwei, but Shi Zhuang, You Yong, and Liu Ruyan have also mobilized an elite army to help. Li Ze looked at the people: "Let You Yong coordinate and command!" ”
Everyone nodded.
Shi Zhuang smiled and said, "Li Xiang, Xu Fu, why don't you leave it to me!" ”
"This battle is dominated by the Right Jin Wuwei, and with Xu Fu's personality, he will inevitably lead his most elite soldiers to the right Jin Wuwei Central Army." Li Zedao.
"General Tian, don't you mind if there is one more person among your personal guards!" Shi Zhuang looked at Tian Ping.
Tian Ping instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Ze's smiling face, his heart was full of coldness, and he was helpless to think about it, whether it was himself or his subordinates, there was really no one who could be Xu Fu's opponent. And in this battle, killing Xu Fu is the key among the keys. Shi Zhuang, with the respect of a general of the First Guard, is willing to deign to pretend to be a personal soldier under his command, which is already commendable. If you still refuse, then you can't help but be too ignorant.
Moreover, as he said earlier, if someone like Shi Zhuang was on top of Xu Fu, he would be able to kill a few fewer people by that Xu Fu, thinking of the situation when he and Tian An fought against Xu Fu two days ago, his heart was still chilling. In just a few breaths, he and Tian An both made several turns in front of the door of Lord Yama.
"In this way, I have to do more General Lao Shi, I am really ashamed!" Tian Ping stood up and clenched his fists and bowed.
"General Tian is polite, and Shi has just gained a little more strength." Shi Zhuang returned the salute with a smile.
Li Ze was very satisfied with the performance of the generals under his command who could take the overall situation into account.
"Shi Zhuang, you are in the middle of Tianping's army, so who will lead your troops to participate in this battle?"
"Liang Han!" Shi Zhuang said: "Liang Han's department is the best at attacking, as urgent as a spark, and moving like thunder. ”
You Yong smiled and said, "General Shi sent Liang Han, then I will send Jose to fight!" ”
Liu Ruyan originally wanted to go into battle in person, but after glancing at her husband, she knew that even if she said so, she was afraid that she would not be agreed, and the three generals present would definitely not agree, so she had to say: "Our department sent Ren Xiaonian to fight." ”
Li Ze nodded with satisfaction, the various departments had indeed taken out the strongest troops under their command. "In that case, let's prepare for each one."
A day later, the Youjin Wuwei army was dispatched again, but to the surprise of the Liang army in the city, the Tang army changed its previous offensive style and pushed several trebuchets to the forefront of the battlefield.
With the whistling sound of the trebuchet, several huge net bags were bounced into the air by the trebuchet, over the city wall, and then snapped, the net bags shattered in mid-air, but what fell inside was not the gravel bullets that everyone expected, but a piece of fluttering stationery.
A Liang soldier reached out and grabbed one of them a little dazedly, and after just one glance, his face changed slightly. This letter was not his, but this did not prevent him from immediately thinking about whether there would be news of his family among the thousands of letters floating down from the sky.
One after another, these nets burst open on the gate, and countless letters fell like snow to the gate.
After doing this, the Tang army under the city began to retreat in large numbers, and together with the trebuchets, they also slowly retreated to the rear.
A senior officer of the Liang Army on duty reached out and grabbed a piece of stationery, and hurriedly browsed it, his face had changed greatly. He pulled out his knife with a choking sound and shouted loudly: "Order the whole army, no private hiding, no peeping, officers at all levels, immediately confiscate these letters." ”
The officer's orders were quickly spread to all parts of the city, but the truth was not as good as the officer had hoped, and many of the soldiers secretly hid the letters in their bosoms, even if they were not their own. Because or they can use these other people's letters, they can exchange them with each other to get the one they need.
"General, it's not good." The officer on duty, after detecting the seriousness of the situation, quickly found Xu Fu after making a little arrangement.
After listening to the report of the officer on duty, the wrinkles on Xu Fu's face became deeper for a while, and he closed his eyes for a long time before he said slowly: "How many gold, silver and copper coins are there in Guanzhong?" ”
Behind him, a general said in a somewhat bitter voice: "General, after all the rewards, there are only 200,000 in the pass." ”
"Give them all!" Xu Fudao.
"Yes!"
"Slaughter pigs and sheep today, and reward the whole army."
"There is not much meat in the army anymore."
"Do it!" Xu Fu sighed: "The Tang army is trying to force me to go out of the city to fight." At this time, stabilizing the morale of the military is more important than anything else. ”
