Chapter 1044: Stop
After the army set off, it was divided into five divisions and slowly marched northward, Wang Xian and Liu Xin each led 20,000 soldiers and horses, fifteen miles apart, and slowly opened the road in front of the head. Elder Tang led 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Chinese army in the middle road, ten miles away from the left and right vanguards. Ding Gugang and Wang Xuan each led 10,000 soldiers and horses, ten miles behind the Chinese army, divided into left and right halls, to protect the grain and grass.
In fact, Elder Tang and the others didn't want Liu Xin to take on the heavy responsibility again, but Wang Xian overrode public opinion and insisted that Liu Xin and himself serve as the striker. Elder Tang had previously announced that during the entire battle period, everyone, including himself, would be under Wang Xian's unified command and deployment, and he could only let it go.
This made Liu Xin grateful, and before leaving, he took Wang Xian's hand, and the big man burst into tears, choked and couldn't speak. Wang Xian didn't say anything to Liu Xin, just asked him to let go of his burden and believe in himself.
After Liu Xin left, Dai Hua and the others didn't understand, why did Wang Xian still use this reckless man, was it just because he had an iron relationship with him? Wang Xian said with a smile: "Of course, the relationship is iron, but the more important thing is that he is indeed the best general in the Qingzhou Army." And just because he didn't listen to me, he will definitely be more careful and obedient this time, and he wants to be ashamed of himself. ”
The brothers were skeptical of Wang Xian's words, and Xianyun asked, "How do you plan to fight this battle?" ”
"It doesn't matter what I plan," Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "My task is to bring the army to the battlefield with all the mustaches and tails, and as for how to fight, it will be left to more professional people." ”
"Who?" The brothers looked at Wang Xian in surprise, but they didn't expect that he was not the real commander of this battle.
"Let's sell it first." Wang Xian smiled but did not answer.
The five teams marched slowly, the speed of the march was very slow, after noon, only to march to Zhutai Town, which was thirty miles away from Boxing, Wang Xian ordered the whole army to set up camp and go down to the village, no longer marching.
"What? How far did you go before you went down to the village? The Chinese army, the generals around Elder Tang shouted, "You have to lose Boxing City so much!" ”
"Well......" Elder Tang also thought so, according to the news from the front, Boxing City was fiercely attacked by the Han Dynasty's army, and the two thousand defenders resisted stubbornly, so they tried to protect the city, so in the eyes of the leaders, including Elder Tang, it was a matter of course to rush to Boxing as soon as possible and relieve the siege of the defenders!
However, Wang Xian only marched for more than 20 miles in a day, and he was not allowed to advance any further. This made the White Lotus Sect army, which had just finished the oath meeting and was in full swing, feel like a punch on cotton, and feel like there is nowhere to do it.
Faced with the doubts of his subordinates, Elder Tang could only persuade them with 'the military advisor's own arrangement', and only after a few words did he persuade the generals to leave.
After leaving the camp, it was already dark, Wang Xian sent scouts to patrol a large density within a range of thirty miles, and went to check all over the camp in a wheelchair, found out many hidden dangers, and hit several officers on the spot, ordering them to rectify immediately.
When Wang Xian moved to the next place, he saw the Buddha's mother appear in front of him.
"The military advisor is so majestic." The Buddha's mother tongue said sarcastically: "I have heard that those who are generals should be lenient and severe, but don't be blindly strict and make yourself a loner." ”
"The Buddha's mother smiled, it is good to be lenient and strict for the generals, but it should be lenient in peacetime and strict in wartime." Wang Xian smiled faintly: "Don't say this, the Buddha Mother is here, it seems that there is something in the words." ”
"The military advisor is alert." The Buddha's mother smiled and said, "But also, with your identity, you can't be vigilant." Somehow, every time she saw Wang Xian, she couldn't speak well without sarcastically saying a few words to him.
Knowing that the Buddha Mother was insinuating, Wang Xian touched his nose helplessly.
"I'm here to tell you that your decision has caused a lot of displeasure." Only then did the Buddha's mother say with a straight face: "Although the Dharma King helped you suppress it, he didn't seem to think so. ”
Wang Xian waved his hand, signaling Dai Hua behind him to continue to push him forward, in the night, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see from the two rows of white teeth that he smiled: "I blame me for not making it clear." Zhu Heng's army should have arrived at Boxing City three days ago, he has ten times the strength, and in three days, he can't capture a Boxing City, which means that? ”
After Wang Xian asked, he looked at the Buddha Mother and stopped talking. The Buddha's mother knew that if he didn't praise him, he would never say anything. I had to look at him helplessly, and said in a muffled voice: "Zhu Heng is useless? ”
"Zhu Heng is a general who can attack and defend well, and he is the second famous general in the Han army." Wang Xian smiled and said: "The first one is Zhu Gaoxu. ”
"That is, Boxing City is not easy to fight?" Mother Buddha asked again.
"If Boxing City was so easy to defend and difficult to attack, King Han would not have been undefended in the first place." Wang Xian said softly: "To tell the truth, Zhu Heng wants to win Boxing, it can be described as easy. ”
"Then why didn't he take it?" The Buddha's mother asked in a muffled voice, her patience was about to be exhausted by Wang Xian.
"It's very simple, it's just a siege and reinforcements." Wang Xian also stopped selling Guan Zi and said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid that he will do anything, Zhu Heng can only survive 20,000 soldiers and horses, and we have as many as 80,000 or 90,000!" Mother Buddha frowned.
"Fighting a war is not counting, no matter how many you have, the battlefield is so big, and the number of troops that can be invested at one time is very limited. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the armies of the two sides is indispensable, and it may be difficult to eat their 20,000 with our 80,000 or 90,000 people. Wang Xian said lightly: "Once the war between the two sides is stalemate, the 10,000 cavalry of the King of Han will definitely be killed from behind, and when the time comes, it will be a situation of being slaughtered." ”
"......" Mother Buddha was stunned, she had seen the power of the Han cavalry, and she had to admit that Wang Xian's words were likely to come true. There was a moment of silence before she whispered, "You should explain these words to them." ”
"They don't understand. What's more, even if they understand, they will still talk nonsense. Wang Xian said lightly: "Because what they are unhappy about is not that I am commanding Hu, but that I am an outsider who commands all of them." ”
"Now that you know, you've got to figure it out!" The Buddha's mother looked at Wang Xian solemnly and said, "Otherwise, how will this battle be fought when the time comes?" ”
"Isn't there still you?" Wang Xian looked at the Buddha Mother with a smile: "It's your responsibility to help me get them." ”
"You ......" Mother Buddha glared at Wang Xian, even if it was dark, even through the veil, she could feel the murderous aura in her eyes.
But Wang Xian didn't care at all, and let Dai Hua push him farther and farther.
Behind him, the angry voice of the Buddha Mother finally came: "Okay! I'll take my responsibility! Don't forget your responsibility to lead them to victory! ”
Wang Xian didn't answer the Buddha's mother, but just raised his right hand, and disappeared into the night regardless of whether the Buddha's mother saw it or not.
The angry Buddha mother stomped her feet before turning and leaving......
On the bank of the Zishui River, thirty miles away from Zhutai Town, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and his 10,000 cavalry were stationed on this Zishui River beach. At this moment, it was dark, and there were still Mongolian cavalry feeding horses and playing on the riverside, and the sound of the horse-head qin and Mongolian songs intermittently reached the Chinese army's tent, which made His Royal Highness the King of Han very irritable.
"Let them all shut up the king!" Zhu Gaoxu patted the table in annoyance, and said with a dark face: "What are you silly and happy all day long!" ”
His Royal Highness King Han was so excited that he pulled the wound again, and his brows were furrowed in pain. Hou Tai hurriedly whispered: "Lord Wang, be careful, you are still injured." ”
"Shut up!" King Han is now a wriggle who catches whomever he sprays. It's no wonder that he is in such a bad mood, he has been really bad recently, and he has hit a wall in several things in a row...... First of all, Wei Wujian went to the White Lotus Sect to expose Wang Xian's identity, but the Buddha mother didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong, so she actually opened her eyes and said nonsense, openly shielding Wang Xian, so that Wei Wujian did not succeed. Then came the news from King Zhao in the capital, but the emperor still did not agree to let him become the governor of Shandong in advance, but only comfortingly asked Liu Sheng to send troops to support. Of the three, His Royal Highness the King of Han's plan to surround and send reinforcements was easily seen through by the other party. Tan Malai reported that the army of the White Lotus Sect had only marched twenty miles before setting up camp and had no intention of reinforcing Boxing.
With so many unpleasant things together, with the violent temper of His Royal Highness the King of Han, it would be good if he didn't kill people! What else can you expect?
"The prince is angry, this must be Wang Xian's strategy, it is not surprising that the guy guessed the prince's plan." Wei Wuji's successive plans were unsuccessful, and the familiar frustration hit again, making him feel uncomfortable, but he still had to clean up his mood and persuade His Royal Highness the King of Han: "But it doesn't matter, we don't have to worry too much, just spend it with them." Half a month will pass quickly, and then you will be the governor of Shandong, and it will be easy to take Liu Sheng's army over and deal with the Qingzhou army again? ”
"Humph!" Zhu Gaoxu refused to listen to persuasion this time, he glanced at Wei Wujian unhappily, and said coldly: "This king will be a shrinking turtle for half a month, and Le'an City will be beaten down by them!" ”
"What if you take Le'an City, the prince has soldiers in his hands, and he can fight back at any time." Wei Wujian said softly.
"Shut up, too!" Zhu Gaoxu rudely interrupted Wei Wujian and said: "This king can understand it, you are a turtle that scared Wang Xian and shrunk his head, you know that wait, wait from spring to winter, and the sons of this king are all dead, and the daylilies are cold!" ”
"Hey, Lord Wang......" Wei Wujian was also angry, and said in his heart, is it wrong for me to let you wait? It's not all for your own good! If you don't appreciate it, it's just that, and you still scold me for being a turtle with a shrunken head! But at least on the surface, Wei Wujian still had to endure it, suppressed his anger and said: "If you can quickly fight and sweep the other party, it will naturally be ten thousand times stronger than dry waiting?" But the opponent's strength is several times that of ours, and we can't win quickly! ”
"Humph!" Zhu Gaoxu snorted contemptuously, and said proudly: "They claim to be an army of 300,000, but in fact, they are not even 100,000, not to mention that even if they are 300,000, in the eyes of this king, they are just a group of local chickens and dogs, Wang Xian, Tang Tiande and others, in the eyes of this king, are just a group of people who sell their heads!" ”
