407.Chapter 407: The two armies face each other
Yang Hongqi, even if he was subordinate to Yan Xiang in the past, is also a person with real talent and learning. After the joy, he fell into deep thought.
Although Yan Xiang's words seemed a little cowardly, it was not the best way out for Yuan Shu now, and Yang Hong also knew this. But after looking at Yuan Shu's attitude towards Yan Xiang, Yang Hong didn't dare to directly mention the matter of withdrawing from the army.
However, since he was a strategist under Yuan Shu, he could not offer the wrong plan for fear of angering Yuan Shu. The soldier died for his confidant, and Yuan Shu treated Yang Hong well, even if it was to repay his kindness, he still had to persuade Yuan Shu to withdraw from the army.
However, there are also skills in persuasion, and he is not the kind of minister like Yan Xiang who only knows how to admonish. Compared with Yan Xiang, Yang Hong appeared more sleek.
And he knows Yuan Shu's character very well, and knows that although Yuan Shu has many shortcomings, as long as you can tell the truth, you can't impress Yuan Shu.
Yang Hong also knew that Yuan Shu was also afraid of death and failure. If you can scare him, there is a high chance that you will persuade him to quit. Thinking of this, Yang Hong made a decision in his heart.
Yuan Shu saw that Yang Hong was silent, and immediately his face sank, and he asked unhappily: "Why didn't you answer my question for a long time?" ”
Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu was angry, but he still looked unhurried.
He raised his head, with a smile on his face, and said: "Sun Ziyun: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." How dare Hiro speak falsely without careful consideration? ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, his face looked a little better. The more cautious Yang Hong is, the more it means that he is planning carefully.
Since he opened his mouth, Yang Hong seemed to have opened the conversation, and continued: "When facing the enemy and attacking the whole country, we should consider five points first. One is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. ”
"The army and the people are of one heart, fearless of life and death, and the strength to defeat the enemy, is the way; Day and night, sunny and rainy, cold and very hot, the four seasons change, it is the day; Long distances and short roads, dangerous passes, the land of death and life, is for the land. ”
"Husbands and generals, wisdom, faith, bravery, martial arts, and strictness; The law includes all aspects of the military system, the management of officials, and the deployment of military supplies. ”
Although the Han family is decaying and declining, it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Chen Wenzhao raised troops to march eastward, and the people rushed to see them off; On the other hand, the lord rashly ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the people in the territory were panicked, and the scholars avoided retreating, and lost their way first. ”
"For example, today's cold ground is freezing, the soldiers are poorly armoured, and there are not many people who are sick and freeze to death every day. At this time, the army was raised, and it was also lost. ”
"Xuanyuan Pass is steep and abnormal, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Chen army is even more convenient to occupy the geographical advantage, and we have lost the geographical advantage. A rash attack is also a waste of troops. ”
"Under Chen Wenzhao, Lu Bu and Dian Weishi's tiger generals are all enemies; Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Zhiyong are both complete, and they are powerful in the world; There are also fierce generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as minions. On the other hand, in our army, how can there ever be a general who can match it? ”
"Your Majesty has raised the army in a hurry, the army is bloated and redundant, and the quality of the soldiers is uneven; On the other hand, Chen Jun is strictly disciplined and has a basis for advancing and retreating, and we have lost their laws. ”
"Dao, heaven, earth, general, and law are all lost, if Your Majesty insists on attacking Xuanyuan Pass, there will be defeat and no victory, and there will be death and no life."
Yang Hong's words were like a sledgehammer hammer on Yuan Shu's body. The more he listened, the more frightened he became, and after Yang Hong finished speaking, Yuan Shu actually felt that the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat.
He secretly thought in his heart: "Yang Hong and Yan Xiang have always been at odds, this time I reprimanded Yan Xiang, Yang Hong not only did not fall into the ground, but expressed the same opinion as Yan Xiang. ”
"From this point of view, neither of them is optimistic that I will lead the army to attack Xuanyuan Pass. If I insist on attacking this level and end up defeated and killed, what should I do? ”
"Moreover, I just scolded Yan Xiang away, how can I mention the withdrawal of troops now? What's more, if I come with an army of 300,000 people, if I go back like this, won't the people of the world laugh at me? ”
I have to say that Yang Hong knows Yuan Shu's character very well. After some comparison, Yuan Shu was immediately frightened and made him have the heart to retreat.
However, just now because he was unwilling to withdraw from the army, he scolded Yuan Shu who took away Yan Xiang. If you listen to Yang Hong's words again at this time, wouldn't you be suspected of slapping yourself?
Looking at Yuan Shu with a hesitant look on his face, Yang Hong was immediately overjoyed, knowing that his remarks had frightened Yuan Shu a little.
"If you add another fire and give Your Majesty a step, you will definitely be able to persuade him to withdraw this time."
Thinking of this, Yang Hong was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Ji Ling on the side step forward and said sharply: "Yang Changshi's words, it is inevitable that he is a little too ambitious and will destroy his own prestige, right?" ”
"Although Lu Bu is brave, isn't he almost killed by his sons, besieged and almost killed? Thinking about Zhao Yun, it's just to make a name for himself. We waited for the general not to come out, which caused the shaft to become famous. ”
"Although Gao Shun's subsidence camp is fierce, it is only more than a thousand people. His Majesty raised 300,000 troops, raising the flag can cover the sky, and whipping can cut off the river. ”
"Thinking about Guan Yu, but he is just a red-faced man who sells jujubes, and Zhang Fei is just a pig and a black-faced man, what are you afraid of?"
Looking at the angry Ji Ling, as well as the rest of the generals with unsightly faces, Yang Hong secretly called a mistake.
In order to scare Yuan Shu, Yang Hong only cared about boasting about the advantages occupied by Wen Zhao, but he forgot that there were still many generals in the big tent.
These generals are all hot-tempered and have a very high opinion of themselves.
When they saw Yang Hong praising the generals under Wen Zhao like that, but thinking that they were far inferior to Lu Bu and the others, they were all furious.
Yang Hong was about to distinguish, but saw Zhang Xun leaning his neck and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since Yang Changshi looks down on us and others, the last general will invite 50,000 soldiers, make a military order, and vow to conquer Xuanyuan Pass." ”
Lei Bo also stepped forward and said: "The last general is invited to fight, if you can't kill a few enemy generals, I am willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”
Chen Lan also said: "Your Majesty led an army of 300,000 to go on the expedition, and there were more than 1,000 generals under his command, how could he withdraw his troops because of a Xuanyuan Pass?" The rumor will go out, what will the people of the world think of Your Majesty? ”
Liu Xun said even more sharply: "With the 300,000 army led by His Majesty, even if the corpses are piled up, they can pile up a steep slope and kill into the city." ”
"Yang Hong's gossip confuses the public and disturbs the morale of the army. His Majesty should behead him first, and then sacrifice the flag to attack Xuanyuan Pass. ”
Seeing that the generals were full of righteous indignation and strongly asked for battle, Yuan Shu was also bold, and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, I will not break the Xuanyuan Pass, and I will not withdraw from the army." If there is anyone who dares to say goodbye, cut it! ”
When Yang Hong heard this, his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to anger everyone anymore, so he rashly admonished.
He could only complain in his heart, secretly scolding himself for not thinking it through, and inadvertently offended all the generals in the army. As a result, everyone worked together and strongly demanded to attack Xuanyuan Pass.
However, it has to be said that Yang Hong praised the generals under Wen Zhao too much, but aroused the fighting spirit of the generals of the Yuan army.
It's not like before at all, after hearing about the reputation of Lu Bu and the others, he was a little timid.
Yuan Shu is also a resolute person, since he has made up his mind, he immediately brought siege equipment, ordered soldiers and horses, and killed Xuanyuan Pass.
However, it was said that in Xuanyuan Pass, Wen Zhao heard that Yuan Shu led a large army to attack, and immediately convened the troops under the tent to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.
Tian Feng said: "The thieves are huge, we should be strong and clear, and it is the best policy to defend Xuanyuan Pass." ”
However, due to the siege of Xiangcheng last time, everyone did not agree with Tian Feng's plan this time. I saw Zhao Yun get up and said, "Although Xuanyuan Pass is dangerous, it will be lost if you defend it for a long time. ”
"The thief army is tired from afar, and the last general is willing to lead the troops to meet the battle, first defeat the thief army's spirit, and then defend the city to the death."
Zhao Yun's words were recognized by most of the generals, and the generals asked for battle.
Turning his gaze to Jia Xu, Wen Zhao asked, "What does Wen He mean?" ”
Jia Xu pondered for a long time, and said with a smile: "The generals strongly ask for war, how can the lord brush off your wishes?" ”
"But you need to remember that you can't fall in love with war, as long as you defeat the enemy's spirit, you can lead your troops to retreat into Guanzhong."
Outside Xuanyuan Pass, the two armies faced each other, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others surrounded Wen Zhao and looked at the Yuan army array in the distance.
Yuan Shu was dressed in a golden helmet and armor, holding two swords, and was supported by hundreds of people. He saw Wen Zhao leading the army to battle, but he was a little surprised.
Seeing Yuan Shu, Wen Zhao slapped the first two cloths on the horse, sank into the dantian, and shouted: "Yuan Highway, you anti-country thief, I am asking for troops and horses, cut off your head and dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, but I don't want you to dare to invade my city." ”
"Now that I am leading the elite soldiers to fight, if you don't surrender early, when you die, you will regret it!"
Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, and immediately scolded back: "The village man in the mountains, the Yellow Turban traitor, and the defeated generals dare to speak falsely? If I don't break through Xuanyuan Pass this time and slaughter all the old and young in the city, I will never retreat! ”
Wen Zhao said: "Yuan Shu is a thief, and he will only use his tongue in vain, who is willing to go to war and take Yuan Shu's life for me?" ”
As soon as Wen Zhao's words fell, Tang Chen couldn't bear it anymore, raised the spear in his hand and rushed into the formation, shouting: "General Tang Chen is here, who dares to fight me?" ”
"A nobody, but also dare to speak up? Look at me Chen Lan to take your life! ”
I saw a horse rushing into the formation, waving the big knife in his hand, and directly taking Tang Chen. Tang Chen didn't answer, slapped the horse and danced the gun, and killed the past.
The two of them went back and forth on the battlefield, killing inseparably, and in a matter of moments, they had already fought for more than 20 times.
Jiang Wu was itchy when he saw it, and he also rushed forward and shouted: "Jiang Xiaode is here, who will come to send him to death?" ”
Seeing that the person who invited him to fight was not a few fierce generals under Wen Zhao's command that he feared, Lei Bo immediately shouted: "Lei Bo is here, the thief must be arrogant!" ”
Zhang Fei is a belligerent person, seeing that the two pairs of generals in the field are killing vigorously, he immediately directly slapped his horse and danced his spear and rushed into the formation, and shouted loudly: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to fight?" ”
Han Hao, the general under Yuan Shu, heard Zhang Fei report to his home, and immediately laughed loudly: "You eunuch, why did you enter the battlefield if you didn't stay in the palace?" ”
Han Hao's words immediately made the generals under Yuan Shu's command laugh loudly. Zhang Fei was furious, urged the war horse under his crotch, and rushed directly to the Yuan Shu array.
