Chapter 39 Li Xiuning's Weaknesses
"Dangdangdang..." Fengzhou City's gongs and drums are loud. If you listen carefully, they are not all gongs and drums, and they are mixed with stuff like iron pots.
The messy shouts filled the streets and alleys of Fengzhou City, and I didn’t know where the source of the news was. In short, countless people ran around and told me, and it didn’t take long for the news that Chen Yingquan wiped out Xi Feng Bulai to spread throughout the city. Although the shouts were messy, the feelings were extremely sincere.
"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"General is mighty!"
Although Li Daozong and Chu Suiliang, two brothers in distress, did not go to fight because of their serious injuries. However, Li Daozong, the military-oriented envoy, is one with the Lingzhou army. As long as the Lingzhou army wins a battle, he, the military-oriented envoy, will never be erased.
Chu Suiliang showed a constipation-like expression. He was very unaware of why Li Daozong was so excited. Chen Ying not only humiliated him and Li Daozong by rolling a name, but also made the soldiers of the Lingwu Army beat them up. If Chen Ying did not win the battle, he still had a chance to take revenge.
However, seeing that Chen Ying had won the battle, he captured Xifeng Bu Lai alive and wiped out all the elite soldiers of the Dangxiang clan. I am afraid that in the future, the Dangxiang clan will completely disappear like a tribe of all sizes on the grassland. For such a hero who regained hundreds of miles of Fengzhou and expanded land, even the censor who was harsh in Chang'an City, he would not impeach such a hero.
After all, no one wants to be a traitor.
Chu Suiliang looked at the excited Li Daozong incomprehensible and said, "Why is Mr. Lueyang so excited?"
Li Daozong was even more surprised by Chu Suiliang at this time. He even doubted whether Chu Suiliang was a species of Turkic people. It was obvious that the Tang Dynasty won and the Turkic people were defeated, but Chu Suiliang was like his parents died, as if he had lost his parents.
Li Daozong said: "Of course I'm excited, why are you not excited? This is a big victory, two thousand to three thousand, aren't you excited?"
Chu Suiliang scoffed at Chen Ying's achievements. Chen Ying had more than 20,000 troops under his command, but the ones on the street were all 2,000 to 30,000. In fact, Chen Ying's luck was so good. As Xifeng Bu Lai's troops were wiped out, Yu Guni asked Tuoba You to lead four or five hundred Dangxiang's remnants to escape.
Yu Guni heard that Chen Ying had wiped out Xifeng Bulai, and he didn't even catch a minion Tuoba You. Yu Guni, who had nearly 10,000 troops, was also cruel, leaving more than 2,000 minor and serious wounded people to clean the battlefield. He led more than 8,000 troops all the way to chase Tuoba You.
Yu Guni didn't know what he was thinking and poured his anger on the Turkic tribe he encountered. Whether he resisted or not, the tribe leaders and nobles killed all of them, and sent all the cattle, sheep and wealth of the nobles, except for the replenishment of their needs, to the oppressed Turkic herd slaves.
In this way, Yu Guni also beat rabbits and solved more than a dozen tribes of all sizes along the way. Tuoba You ran to Baicheng (and he unified Wancheng Old City), and Yu Guni chased Baicheng.
Tuoba You had no intention of fighting at this time and abandoned the city and fled. Yu Guni recovered Baicheng without spending a soldier. At this time, Tuoba You ran to Xiazhou again, which was Liu Wuzhou's territory. Naturally, he refused to turn away the Turkic generals, but Tuoba You entered Xiazhou City. This was troublesome. Because during the pursuit, Chen Ying's army had already spread its reputation, killing the nobles and separating cattle and sheep.
Although Xiazhou is now under the rule of the Liang Shidu, the Liang Shidu used troops and was full of military force in just three prefectures and twenty-eight counties, which had already forced the people of Xiazhou to suffer. Even if they killed the nobles, they could share cattle and sheep. So what else can they be polite?
The people of Xia County suddenly rioted. Not only did almost all the poor people in Xiazhou participate, but more than 3,000 Liang troops mutinied overnight. Not only did they kill all the officials appointed by the Liangshi Capital in the city, but they also tied up Tuoba You and other remaining troops and handed them over to the Yuguni tribe that followed.
Chu Suiliang said in his heart: "Don't you believe the rumors spread by foolish people and foolish women?"
Li Daozong said: "How can you not believe it? The troops of Wugong Hou fought bloody battles to recover Shengzhou, Changzhou, and Xiazhou. The captives alone captured more than 20,000 people and beheaded more than 10,000 people. There is no falsehood!"
Looking at Li Daozong's look of dancing hands and feet, Chu Suiliang said with a gloomy face: "It's not that the specific battle situation of 2,000 enemies and 30,000 enemies is not clear, General Chen should have first carried the Turkic surrendered troops, strengthened his troops, and then used some tricks to force the Liang Shidu's army. In fact, what he defeated was only eight or nine thousand people who had Seifeng Bulai."
Chu Suiliang is worthy of being a smart person. He used his incomplete information to infer Chen Ying's actions and actually beat Chen Ying. If Chen Ying was here, he would definitely admire him very much.
But Li Daozong was not interested at all: "How did General Chen win? Anyway, when he left Lingzhou, he brought more than 1,800 people from the sixth Zhe Chong Mansion of Dingyuan Army. Five Zhe Chong Mansions of Dingyuan Army were still in Lingzhou. They rushed to fight Xifeng Bu Lai in this way, and they ended up..."
In fact, Li Daozong did not have the intention of Chu Suiliang. Anyway, Chen Ying gave him a great contribution. As long as he was properly operated, he was promoted to a higher level and from Duke of Lueyang County to Duke of the State.
...
Chen Ying was not a god, so naturally he didn't know that Shi Liversh, who was far away in Tuocheng, was so angry that he vomited blood because he heard the news that Xiaofeng Bu Lai's army was wiped out. At the same time, he didn't know that Chu Suiliang cursed him for failing to curse him because he hated him for insulting Chu Suiliang.
But he knew that Li Xiuning, who was far away in Weize Pass, was in a very bad situation.
Chen Ying did not doubt Li Xiuning's ability to command troops and fight, nor did he doubt that Li Xiuning could not defend Weize Pass. However, Chen Ying was worried that Li Xiuning's own weaknesses would be exploited. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Therefore, a general has five dangers, he must be killed, he must be captured, he can be angry quickly, he can be insulted, and he can be insulted, and he can be insulted, and he can be insulted, and he can be insulted, and he can be insulted, and he can be insulted, among which "integrity can be insulted" and "love the people can be insulted" are the most difficult hurdles to overcome, and many famous generals have fallen into this.
Li Xiuning's biggest weakness was that he was the same as Li Dingguo, the King of Jin in the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was annoying to love the people. When Li Dingguo attacked Guangdong for the second time, he was about to break the city when he attacked Xinhui. The Qing army in the city suddenly drove away the people and launched a counterattack. Li Dingguo couldn't bear to take action, and was finally blocked by the Qing army's gap in the city wall and failed... Li Dingguo is kind and loving the people. How did the people of Xinhui repay him? These people were afraid that Li Dingguo would not be able to defend after Li Dingguo conquer Xinhui, and the Qing army would slaughter the city bloodily after fighting back, so he firmly helped the Qing army defend the city and swear to resist Li Dingguo to the death. Anyway, Li Dingguo is so kind that even if he could break Xinhui, he would not make things difficult for these people who helped the Qing army.
In fact, Li Xiuning is the same. If the battle formation is clearly shown, Li Xiuning will not lose. At least it will not be a problem to defend Weize Pass. However, Xunxiang accidentally discovered that Li Xiuning did not order the civilians who were driven to fill the trenches.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuning decided to magnify Li Xiuning's weakness. The more Li Xiuning did not order the arrows, he deliberately captured a group of elderly, weak, women and children, threatened their children, and ordered them to siege the city. Faced with these elderly, weak, women and children, Li Xiuning put these people on the wall, then gave them food, and let them rest in the city. In this way, the people who surrendered to Li Xiuning every day became bigger and bigger, which was like a deadly noose that tightened Li Xiuning's neck.
Every minute of time passes, Li Xiuning will be more dangerous.
