Early the next morning, all the civil and military officials of the Wei State rushed to the new Xiangguo Mansion on the plateau to wait for the dispatch of the plateau.

However, after the roll call, Gao Yuan found that there were more than ten ministers missing, and these ministers were all high-powered heavyweights in the Wei State, such as the Great Secretary Wei Heng, the Great Secretary Tian Wei Ping, and the Great Liang General Wei Yan, all of whom said that they were ill.

It turns out that this group of people is also the most powerful and stubborn minister of Wei, although they were dumbfounded by Gao Yuan in the main hall, but they will not be willing to fail, so they discussed a method overnight, and they all tried to find a way to do it, of course, they also came up with another way to embarrass Gao Yuan, we just don't come to listen to you, see what you can do.

But this group of people shows that they underestimate the plateau, in fact, if these people come, the plateau is a little embarrassed, because they are arranged to do things, the plateau is not at ease, but they are all driven away, and there is no suitable reason, and now they do not come, just give the plateau enough reasons, so the plateau immediately announced, since these ministers are sick, then they will recuperate at home, their government affairs, by their own personnel to take over, but also requirement, their subordinate officials must fully cooperate, otherwise they will not be forgiven. As he spoke, Gao Yuan also glanced back at the bronze sword that King Wei had faked for him.

Many of the ministers present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, remembering that when Gao Yuan entered Daliang yesterday, he killed Wei Feng mercilessly, and until now Wei Yan has no way to take him, and now Gao Yuan still has the bronze sword that King Wei faked to him, so he said that he would never forgive, then he would not be light, he should be a little more clear, but don't listen to Wei Yan stupidly, and work against Gao Yuan, Wei Feng is the best example.

Then Gao Yuan said: "You are all officials of the Wei State, and defending the Wei State is also defending your own homeland, so please work together and unite to repel the Qin army." ”

When the officials heard this, they all hurriedly said: "That's, that's, definitely, definitely." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Although I have already opened the mansion to govern affairs, but now the war is urgent, and in the future, my affairs will be mainly military affairs, and I will also lead troops to fight, so if I am not in the Xiangguo Mansion, then all the affairs here will be jointly handled by An Chengjun and Mr. Zhang, and Xiangyin and the bronze sword are jointly in charge of them, as when I was here, I understand no." ”

The officials also nodded again and again, it seems that in the future, not only Gao Yuan, but even Wei Zeng and Zhang Liang cannot be offended.

Then Gao Yuan announced the officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the affairs they were responsible for, and in the future, when the officials came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do things, they could go directly to the corresponding officials.

Finally, Gao Yuan proclaimed five more temporary decrees:

First, from today onwards, Daliang City will implement military management, and set up military restricted areas in the city walls, military camps, treasury, prisons, official residences, and other places.

Second, all the gates of Daliang City are closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city at will without a warrant from the Prime Minister's Office; A night ban is imposed at night, and all those who travel at night without anything to do are arrested and punished. Whoever fights, fights, steals, spreads, or stirs trouble in the city shall be arrested and punished with hard labor.

Third, the army may requisition the houses, vehicles, livestock, bronze and iron utensils and other items of the residents, and compensate them according to the price, and if there are any people who refuse to be requisitioned or deliberately raise the price, the whole family shall be punished.

Fourth, all the treasury is taken over by the Prime Minister's Government, and if it is necessary to withdraw it, it must be ordered from the Prime Minister's Office, and residents who have no food in their homes can register with the government, and the government can issue a fixed amount of rations. All men over the age of eighteen and under the age of forty-five were all organized into reserves, received military training, and were under the command of the Prime Minister's Office, ready to fight the Qin army; All women over the age of 18 and under the age of 45 are also organized and are responsible for transportation, moving, cleaning, treatment, boiling water, cooking and other logistical services.

Fifth, the construction of houses and roads in the city was stopped, and all craftsmen and craftsmen in the city were recruited, and the prime minister organized and concentrated on the manufacture of city defense equipment. Wei stopped purchasing useless items, and all the gold and copper coins in the treasury were used to purchase military supplies, and the purchase plan was paid for by the prime minister.

These five decrees were formulated in the middle of the night after Gao Yuan, Zhang Liang, and Wei Zhuang discussed with Gao Yuan yesterday, and they were all tailored to defend the beam, and all manpower, material resources, and resources were concentrated just to guard the beam. And posted in various places in the city of Daliang, and sent a special person to read it aloud and inform the people of the whole city. At the same time, Gao Yuan organized 20 patrol teams, each with 50 people, to prepare for arrest.

Because these five decrees are very strict, when they are first promulgated and implemented, there will definitely be many people who disobey them, because they are the children of some clans, they don't even pay attention to the laws of the Wei State, and it is of course impossible to expect them to honestly respect the laws of the plateau. Therefore, it is necessary to take the most severe means at the beginning, no matter who violates the order, it must be severely punished, and the more children of the world, the more they must be suppressed, only in this way can they deter others.

After everything was assigned, Gao Yuan asked all the officials to go back to govern the government, leaving all the generals behind, and began to arrange the affairs of defending the city.

Now there are about 120,000 troops in Daliang City, because after Chenggao, Daliang urgently recruited 20,000 new soldiers, except for the 20,000 palace guards, the rest of the army is under the command of the plateau, including the city defense army of Daliang. Although Wei Yan pretended to be sick, the other generals of the city defense army did not dare not come.

Gao Yuan first ordered Wei Jiao, the general of the city defense army, to lead 15,000 men and horses, escort 200 bed crossbows, 150 trebuchets, as well as 100,000 stone grain and a large amount of military supplies, and immediately rush to Xingkou, and then stationed in Xingkou, obeying Yuan Xuan's command.

Now the defenders of Xingkou have about 20,000 people, the strength is still very weak, and it lacks all kinds of defensive materials and equipment, and now the plateau has officially taken over the seal of the Wei State in Daliang, and it can also be added to Xingkou from Daliang, with this 15,000 Wei army, plus the grain, grass and materials sent to it, it is enough to guard Xingkou.

In addition, the plateau is also deliberately decomposed of the city defense army. Because the city defense army is Wei Yan's descendant army, staying in Daliang City is always a trouble, and Wei Yan also has the capital to do it against himself, but the city defense army is also a very strong combat force in the Wei army, and it can't be disbanded just like that, so sending them to Xingkou to garrison is naturally no better.

And after Wei Jiao received the order, he was also stunned, he was also Wei Yan's relative, and he was originally very dissatisfied with the plateau, of course, he also knew that the plateau was deliberately trying to divide the city defense army, so he said: "Wu Anjun, our city defense army has always been under the command of General Da Liang, and now Wu Anjun wants to transfer us to Xingkou, should we ask General Da Liang first." ”

Gao Yuan snorted and said, "Isn't General Liang seriously ill and bedridden?" I also asked him what to do, not to mention that I am still the minister of Wei now, and I am in charge of the government of Wei, is it so difficult that I can't command the city defense army? Wei Jiao, isn't it because you are disrespectful to the order? As he spoke, Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at the bronze sword behind him.

Wei Jiao was also taken aback, of course he knew that Gao Yuan was not to scare himself, if he didn't listen to the order, then he would really attack himself, so he hurriedly said: "The last general doesn't dare, the last general should respect Wu Anjun's order." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, today I will prepare all the supplies, tomorrow morning, you immediately lead the army to set off, remember, walking from the north bank of the chasm, within one day, you must rush to Xingkou, I will send cavalry on the south bank of the chasm to cover you." ”

Wei Jiao hurriedly said: "The last general understands. ”

Gao Yuan said again: "Wei Yuan listens to the order. ”

Wei Yuan, another chief general of the city defense army, heard Gao Yuan calling him, and hurriedly came out of the ranks, saying, "Not yet." ”

Gao Yuan said: "You immediately order the remaining 15,000 men and horses of the city defense army to leave Daliang City, station in the villages and towns south of the city, and immediately establish defensive positions around the villages and towns, and I will send another 15,000 soldiers from the city to help you build fortifications, and set off immediately." ”

Wei Yuan had no choice but to say, "The last general respects the order." ”

Subsequently, the plateau sent a group of men and horses to go down to the village in the north of the city, forming two villages on the left and right, and the formation of defending the city of Liang.

Although the high walls of Daliang City are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also can not blindly defend the city wall, because blindly retreating to the city wall, it is equivalent to giving the initiative to the enemy, the other party can calmly cut off the connection between Daliang City and the outside of the city, completely isolate Daliang City, the city wall of Daliang City is too long, the length of one side is about eight miles, plus the city tower and horse face, just to stand full, at least more than 5,000 people, if you want to hold the city wall, it takes about 20,000. Although it is said that in the siege war, the defending side has a considerable advantage, but the attacking side is not completely at a disadvantage, at least two advantages are not available to the defending side, one is the initiative, whether to attack the city or not, when to attack the city, when to retreat, the attacking side has the final say, and the defending side can only respond passively; The second is the right to choose, the besieging side can choose to concentrate its forces and attack from only one direction, while defending the city must be overwhelming, which is still passive when defending large cities, and requires a lot of troops.

Therefore, in the offensive and defensive battle of the city, the defending side must not all retreat to the city, and must arrange one or two teams of men and horses outside the city, set up several strongholds outside the city, and form a mutual echo trend with the city, which can not only reduce the area of the city and cover the passage into the city, but also be able to contain the siege forces, and even attack the enemy's flank, and when the enemy retreats, it can also be pursued. And if the enemy army attacks the stronghold outside the city with all its might, it is also possible to send troops to rescue the city, or directly attack the enemy's main camp, which is much better than completely retreating to the city.

Of course, the plateau is arranged like this, and another purpose is to send the city defense army out of the city, completely divided, and after losing the city defense army, Wei Yan naturally can't turn over much Lang Hua.
