Chapter Seventy-Eight: Wei Zheng's Scheme
Some people say that women are born actors, and Yun Hao thinks that politicians are born actors. Because no matter what their purpose is, what kind of effect they want to achieve. When they act, they are extremely sincere. In front of the true performance, all the gorgeous performances are overshadowed.
Yun Hao was shocked by Li Jiancheng's Oscar-level performance. I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless. According to his performance just now, Luo Cheng is definitely his brother with a knife in both sides. But as far as Yun Hao knows, Luo Cheng is not interested in Li Jiancheng. Obviously, he was closer to Li Er, who had an excellent force value.
If it weren't for Wei Zheng's repeated lobbying, Luo Cheng would not have appeared in the list of this expedition at all. Yun Hao felt that it should be Wei Zheng who pulled Luo Yi to cry, not him Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng's performance was very good, and it was obvious that Luo Yi was deeply moved. Holding Li Jiancheng's hand, his lips trembled for a long time and only squeezed out, "Your Highness!" Two words. Excited heart trembling hands, everything proves that the old guy was touched beyond measure.
Yun Hao helplessly blessed the old guy in his heart, hoping that he would not get the end of history. That would be too miserable for him.
"Why not pursue?" Ling Jing glared, looking at Xu Yuanlang behind the handsome case, as if he saw a piece of. When he was Dou Jiande's staff, he dared to speak out. I was almost hacked a few times, but I still don't change my nature. Now under Xu Yuanlang's account, it is still the same. Many times, Xu Yuanlang wanted to cut off this guy's head.
"The army was ambushed in the mountains outside Yunzhou City for seven days, and the brothers did not have a bite of hot food to eat in the seven days. After another night of fierce fighting, where is there still physical pursuit. Moreover, Li Jiancheng only lost Luo Cheng and 3,000 cavalry, and their main force did not suffer much loss. In this case, how dare the old man send someone to pursue. If someone else had spoken like this, Xu Yuanlang's guards would have dragged people out and chopped them up and fed them to the dogs.
But now it was Ling Jing who was speaking, and Xu Yuanlang had to defend himself. The original strategy of using Wang Xuanying as a bait was Ling Jing's idea, and without him, there would have been no victory.
A guy who is good at flattery, he is comfortable on weekdays. But Xu Yuanlang knows that few guys who are good at flattery have real skills. This kind of stinky and hard guy, although I really want to chop it into stuffed buns. But if you want to achieve great things, you really can't do without people like Ling Jing. For his own great cause, all Xu Yuanlang can do is endure.
"The cavalry of the Don Army has been lost, and the morale of the cavalry is bound to be low after being severely damaged. On the three-hundred-mile journey, how many times can there be an ambush. As long as the timing is right, it is easy to defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop. The lord missed this time in vain, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have another chance. Ling Jing closed his eyes helplessly, and the past when Dou Jiande didn't listen to his advice seemed to resurface.
Everything is similar to more than half a year ago, I heard that Dou Jiande is now in Chang'an, and he is abused like a dog. Xu Yuanlang, who was high in front of him, was afraid that he was also another Dou Jiande. Where will I go......
My heart was a mess, but my expression didn't show it at all.
"The only way now is to contact the king of Handong to form an alliance to protect himself. Hebei is tired, and it is simply not enough to feed the army. We might as well go south, if we can go to Jiangnan. You may still have a way to live! "The idea of going south, Ling Jing has been thinking about it in his head for a long time!
The rich Guanzhong Plain is now Li Tang's world. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains had been beaten into ruins. It is not easy to maintain a team of more than 100,000 people on this ruin. Not to mention the salary, even military rations are difficult to raise. In these years, when I was a soldier, I had a simple faith. When soldiers eat food, every recruitment document clearly says that they include food and lodging.
Although the bitter soldiers were illiterate, there were no labor contracts or anything like that in those years. But if you really dare not give the army rations, let the bitter soldiers go hungry. I didn't say it, fuck the guy, you didn't negotiate.
The tree moves the dead and the person is alive, since Hebei, Shandong, and Henan can no longer feed this team. The only way to survive is to go south, and Xu Yuanlang's strength is still not strong enough. So I have to pull Liu Heimin to do it together, maybe this is to keep warm!
"How's that going to work? The hometowns of our soldiers are all in Hebei, and people are cheap when they leave their hometowns. Leaving his hometown and going to Jiangnan, hundreds of thousands of elite Xiaoguo of the former Sui Emperor have already harmed Jiangnan to the point of insignificance. Let's go again, where will there be good fruit to eat. Wang Xuanying jumped out immediately, although Hebei was bad. is also stronger than Jiangnan, Wang Xuan should be very familiar with the situation there.
If the army is defeated in Hebei, you can go to the Turks. The Northlands may be desolate, but they can still survive. But if you really want to get to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Tang's army will chase and kill you, but there is nowhere to run. You can only eat bamboo shoots when you run to Fujian, which is full of mountains, and the chassis in the south belongs to the Feng family. Back then, his father didn't dare to provoke the Feng family, but now the remnants of the army are defeated, and they want to fight the Feng family, the head snake. The result can only be death, no knock!
"Stay in Hebei, you just wait to starve to death!" Ling Jing glared at Wang Xuanying viciously, then turned around and walked out of the military tent angrily.
Before the Tiger Prison Pass, if it weren't for the fact that he was easily taken away by Wei Chi Jingde. How can it lead to low morale, if Dou Jiande's failure is a chain reaction. Then he Wang Xuanying is a small link in the chain. Thinking about Wang Xuance, Ling Jing regretted that he wanted to hit the wall.
When his brain was in water, he suggested to Dou Jiande that Wang Xuanying should be accepted as his adopted son and the alliance between the two families would be firmly bound. Dou Jiande doesn't have a son, so it's better to have no son. For Mao to use this method, he received such a mourning star.
"Xu Shuai......!" Wang Xuanying saw Ling Jing running away angrily, and hurriedly looked at Xu Yuanlang. He was very afraid that Xu Yuanlang would follow Ling Jing's advice and unite with Liu Heimin to go south.
"What to do in the future, we have to discuss with King Handong. Ling Jing said that although it is not advisable to go south, it is also a fact that there is a shortage of food in our army. If the army runs out of food, then wait for the game to be finished! After Xu Yuanlang finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Xuanying.
Hebei's affairs, in the future, it depends on himself and Liu Heimin. As for Wang Xuanying, he is the oldest.
Ling Jing returned to his tent and saw that there was no one left and right. Immediately packed up some soft goods, changed into the clothes of a sergeant, and took advantage of the darkness to get a horse and gallop out of the camp.
He was a smart man and knew what war was all about. It is not so much that the two armies are tearing apart, but in fact, they are competing for money and food. The Battle of Changping during the Warring States Period, if it weren't for the lack of food in the Zhao State. How could Zhao Kuo advance alone, and finally end up with the destruction of the whole army.
The Li family occupied Guanzhong, which had not suffered much from military disasters, and occupied the wealthy Bashu. Now Li Xiaogong has also established a firm foothold in Jiangnan, talking about money and food. The land of the Central Plains, which has been completely damaged by natural and man-made disasters, where will it be Li Tang's opponent. In fact, Li Jiancheng didn't have to do anything, just put the army in Zhuozhou. can consume Xu Yuanlang and Liu Heimin to death!
He is a smart person, and the Li family will be like a cloud and a strategist like rain. How could there be no smart people, as long as someone in the Li family thought of this. That is the end of Xu Yuanlang and Liu Heimin, who lived to be forty years old, and he didn't want to bury these people. While the current situation is not dangerous, it is best to run away early.
Luo Cheng died, and Yun Hao's will was a little depressed. Sitting in the room, I poured grapes into my stomach cup after cup. Zuo Wuwei is now the biggest, but Yun Hao is a fighter. All the things were handed over to Wuli Sima, and he started to make a turtle with a shrunken head.
"General Luo is dead, and Zuo Wuwei is our family. Hou Ye should go and take a look, now Wei Zheng is ghostly. Always thinking about taking Zuo Wuwei's military power over! "The vast sea is not a person who can persuade people, and the bandit's mind makes him have a strong sense of territory. Since his own marquis is Zuo Wuwei's biggest figure, then Zuo Wuwei should naturally be from the Yun family. As the head of the Yun family, he is not optimistic about his own territory, and Xiong Kuohai strongly does not understand Yun Hao's actions.
"What is our family's family, which piece of Zuo Wuwei says that it belongs to the Yun family? Which eye do you see? "Yun Hao took a sip of grape wine, the grape wine from the Western Regions is really good. Sweet and sour, very appetizing!
"The handsomeness on the flagpole of Zuo Wuwei is now a cloud-shaped banner." Xiong Kuohai pointed to the big flag at the gate and said. Luo Cheng is dead, and now Zuo Wuwei can only raise Yunhao's general flag.
"Get in!" There's no way to talk to this kind of rammer who only has muscles but no brains, and knows what's going on. If it weren't for the instigation of Sheng Yanshi and Qiu Shili, the two bastards, Xiong Kuohai would not have said these nonsense. With such a family leader, Yun Hao was very worried. There is nothing wrong with this thing's loyalty, but his intelligence is too low, and he can easily be used as a spear by some bastard.
For example, these two idiots with overflowing IQ in front of you!
Sheng Yanshi and Qiu Shili walked in tremblingly, as Yun Hao's subordinates. They have been firmly branded as Yun Hao, no matter where they go to be officials, and they don't care what officials they do. They all have a common name, Yun Hao's people.
"If you have time, collect more ordnance and food. Don't chew your tongue in private, and you think it's the root of your tongue in this world. Are there still fewer people who chew their heads off in the end? and he will use the mighty sea as a spearman, and cut off your tongues. Yun Hao said viciously.
Although he is a prince, the words of cutting off the tongues of the two generals are also painful and happy. The deterrent effect is far less powerful than that of beating a military stick, and this kind of talk is to say it to one's own people. To the generals of other factions, that's a joke.
"What does Master Hou mean, we are going to send troops?" Listening to Yun Hao's words, the eyes of both of them lit up. This time, I came out in order to mix up some military merits. Luo Cheng's death demoralized the entire army of Zuo Wuwei, despite the war years. It is also very rare for a general of Luo Cheng's level to die on the battlefield.
The two of them were very afraid that Li Jiancheng would withdraw his army, and this time Hebei would run away in vain. After thousands of miles of tossing, in the end, I didn't get a single hair, which is a big loss. Especially Qiu Shili, because of this expedition, he even gave up the errand of the Tongguan guard.
"It's not that we want to send troops, but that Chang'an will send reinforcements. If I didn't guess wrong, it should be the King of Qin and the King of Qi who came with the Sixteen Guards to increase our troops.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suffered a loss this time, and he will definitely not give up on this. will definitely not return to Chang'an, this time Hebei is in trouble. Look at it, you won't stop if you don't kill someone's head. Especially Uncle Qin and Cheng Biting Jin, they slammed their heads on the ground with Luo Cheng. Now that Luo Cheng is dead, it is estimated that they are all about to go crazy! ”
"His Royal Highness King Qin is coming, then let's ......!" Qiu Shili's mind was confused.
The rumors that the King of Qin and the crown prince were not on good terms, and he filled his ears in Tongguan. Now that it has become like this, I will send King Qin to come again. The army has ordered many doors, and there is still one more battle in this battle?
"Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely make some moves in the near future. Because of the death of his son, Yan Gong will definitely not let go of those rebels. Look, there's going to be a big battle. Yun Hao looked at the cloud-shaped banner outside, and the hunting sound was blown by the cold wind.
Sure enough, as Yun Hao expected, it was only three days before and after. Li Jiancheng gave the order for the whole army to go out, and this time Luo Yi also joined Li Jiancheng's team with his Yanyun Iron Cavalry. The old guy himself rode at the front of the line with his horse lance, and his flowing white hair and black armor were very eye-catching.
Duobao warehouse is a granary built in Hebei during the Great Sui period, and its main role is to store the grain and straw transported from the Great Sui. For the army of the expedition to Liaodong to eat!
After years of war, the rats could have starved to death in the Duobao Warehouse. However, when Hu'er built this treasure barn, it was very strong. In addition, there has been no food in it for a long time, but this treasure warehouse has been preserved in the war.
Li Jiancheng's expedition to Hebei naturally has to use the power in his hands. He is in charge of civil affairs, and naturally he is also in charge of Yongfengcang. Boatloads of grain passed through the Weishui River and were finally delivered to Duobaocang. Li Tang was wealthy, and it was only a month before and after. There are already 100,000 stone of grain stored in the Duobao Warehouse, which is enough for the army to eat for more than a year.
After Yun Hao knew that Duobao Cang was in the grain tuning, he knew what Li Jiancheng was planning. You don't have to think about it to know that this ghost idea was definitely Wei Zheng's idea. For the understanding of Hebei and Shandong, Wei Zheng can throw Li off and build eight streets.
What is most lacking in Hebei Shandong? Grain!
With so much food, it is a magnet-like existence for the rebels in Hebei and Shandong. Everyone stared at this multi-treasure warehouse with red eyes, as long as they robbed it. It is enough for the army to eat for a year and a half, and in this place where food is king, Duobaocang has become the target of public criticism.
Wei Zheng was not afraid of these people's idea of attacking Duobaocang, what he wanted was for the rebels to attack Duobaocang. Guerrilla warfare wandering around is not the strength of the Tang Army. One is not careful, and then another casualty like Luo Cheng's. Li Jiancheng really couldn't explain, so Wei Zheng wanted to attract everyone over. This time, be sure to catch turtles in an urn.
PS: I was supposed to write a little more today, but I always asked. As for the direction of the story, the original setting is a little off. Let's make a change today, and let's see the plus change tomorrow!
