Chapter 48: God's Will (2)
On September 13, the 12th year of Chuizheng, Wang Hongyi defeated the Liuying 5,000 camp with 1,300 people. Liu Chaoyi fled in a panic, with only 200 cavalry remaining and 3,000 prisoners.
On September 15, the 12th year of Chuizheng, the general Wang Zunzhi led a thousand Yi to join the army to Taisu County. General Heyi led Changcedu and general Zhang Yunxin led Shachengdu, each with 1,500.
Taisu County has rectified the troops, and Jishui County has sent 500 troops, with a total of 6,500 troops gathered, and a total of 3,000 new troops, totaling 9,500, claiming to be 20,000.
On September 16, he raised his troops to attack Changding Prefecture. Dong Dan, the county magistrate of Shunyi County, surrendered without fighting.
On September 18, Gu Xu, deputy commander of Luchuan County (the commander who was killed in battle), led 300 troops to surrender, and was appointed as the captain of Guoyi and was incorporated into the army.
On September 20, the army gathered in Changding Prefecture. At this time, Changding Prefecture was already an isolated city.
Wang Zunzhi had a good military rule, and he saw a fire, a tent, a team and a battalion, neatly arranged, each with boundaries, and the camp consisted of trenches, walls, fences and camp gates, and the order was clear.
The army in the camp was brightly lit and candles were lit, and civil and military officials were gathered under the tent.
All the generals were wearing armor, and all the civil servants were wearing civil servants' clothes. They were full of spring. Even Li Cunyi had a smile on his face, as if he had no mind at all.
Everyone whispered and chatted, and suddenly the guard behind the tent ejaculation raised his voice: "Wenyang Jiedushi Wang Zunzhi."
Suddenly, the civil and military ministers quickly stood up to greet them. The civil servants were still fine. The sound of the armored clothes colliding constantly in his ears. Wang Zunzhi was wearing the military uniform of the governor, showing deep and majestic. Behind was Wang Hongyi, wearing a wide-sleeved long robe and a silver crown, a gentleman.
But how dare everyone look down on it? After saluting the general, they saluted Wang Hongyi.
Seeing that the ministers and generals saluted the crown prince, Wang Zunzhi said with a smile: "Today, the troops are at the city, Changding Mansion can be brought down just a day. The banquet is only about to talk about friendship, no matter how long it is!"
The generals and ministers all expressed their promises and ate wine and meat in big mouthfuls.
Wang Hongyi looked at Wang Zunzhi and suddenly became a little strange. Seeing that he was about to capture Changding Town, his cloud energy had grown rapidly, but Wang Zunzhi's cloud energy basically did not grow.
In a blink of an eye, he looked at each general and ministers. Suddenly, Wang Hongyi looked at Li Chengye in the corner. Although he was far away, he could still see it.
In his eyes, Li Chengye's golden energy gathered but did not disperse, and appeared in the shape of a banner. A trace of auspicious energy drooped from the banner, covering his whole body, but it seemed that there had been some changes.
After a closer look, I suddenly realized that although the golden energy of the banner was still very strong, it seemed to be a little thinner than before. I thought it was an illusion and then carefully distinguished it.
Sure enough, the originally thick auspicious energy was much thinner. Although the slightest was still replenishing, it was clearly seen that it was weakened.
As soon as I thought about it, I knew the reason, and my heart was shocked. I quickly took wine to drink, covering up my expression.
"Earth dragons are also consumed and exhausted!" On the earth, there was a Feng Shui saying, "A real dragon will not last for a hundred years."
It means that even the strongest earth dragon (true dragon) cannot withstand the explosion of dragon energy for a hundred years. Therefore, the earth dragon energy is mostly used to make people quickly rise to power and replenish human energy, rather than relying entirely on earth dragons. Not to mention, Li Chengye's earth dragon is not a real dragon-level large dragon vein.
If Li Chengye obtained Wang Hongyi's current status, as long as the status is not deteriorated, the slightest energy of tens of thousands of people in the capital will be replenishing the consumption, and there is no need to consume the energy of the earth dragon everywhere.
On the contrary, Li Chengye is still empty-handed. Until now, he cannot get much supplementary to humanitarian energy. In addition, this fierce defensive battle, he had to use a large amount of energy in order to save his life. This is because only consumption is not supplemented, so there are signs of obvious thinning.
Of course, the earth dragon can still consume a little bit of it, but what if it does this happen again and again? Can you still get supplements after consumption?
Wang Hongyi was shocked, and suddenly countless past events emerged in history.
There are not many people in history who have great numbers and great destiny, but they often leave the market in a sad way or disappear from the crowd. In the final analysis, there is only one thing, that is, using strange plans and doing dangerous things, but not enough humane foundation to supplement them.
For example, Chen Qingzhi, this man sent Yuan Hao to the north, traveled from Ji County to Luoyang, traveled 3,000 miles, defeated 32 cities of Wei forty-seven battles, and went forward without any victory. Erzhu Rong was unable to defeat the Northern Wei soldiers, but when he crossed the river, a sudden mountain torrent ruthlessly washed away his troops that had won all battles.
It became relatively mediocre afterwards. In February of the first year of Datong, Chen Qingzhi attacked the Eastern Wei Dynasty and fought with Yaoxiong, the governor of Yuzhou of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He returned because of the disadvantages, and there was no more miracle.
When he died, he was only fifty-six years old and finally had a good end.
If you win the more with a small amount, you win the right one with a strange thing, and consume the energy. If you are promoted to rewards afterwards, or you are the master, you can replenish the energy of the people. If you are leisurely in daily life, do not take charge of the military and civilians, and go to war as a general, no matter how much luck you have, it will be consumed. When the major event is completed, you can destroy the nine clans with one piece of paper.
Why? A strong king and weak ministers are also because of the exhaustion.
Only use his talents and destiny, only give official titles, and not the foundation for nourishing qi and transforming life. This is the supreme true meaning of the way of power and conspiracy. Therefore, the stronger the king, the weaker the minister. If this national policy is adopted, there will be no such principle that the following violates the best.
Even if you have a true dragon emperor under your command, you can wipe it clean and turn it into a carp in the pond.
If it weren't for the art of hope qi, then could you realize this inexpressible true meaning?
This law controls all the ministers, and its power and fortune are unpredictable.
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Wang Zunzhi asked: "My son, now Changding Town is surrounded, what method can I do to quickly capture it?"
Wang Hongyi said with a smile without thinking: "Why do you have to attack the city? Liu Chaoyi fled in a panic, with only two hundred cavalry left. Even if the people in Changding Mansion were mobilized, it would be difficult to control the situation."
"Sun Tzu's Art of War says: When fighting, attacking the heart is the best, and attacking the city is the best."
"There are three thousand prisoners, and most of them are people in the city. They ordered them to cry under the wall, call their father and mother, and shoot the text inside the city. They say that those who surrender will not be killed, and they will be rewarded for offering the city."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Hongyi's mouth. He said softly: "Then, within three days, someone will offer Liu Chaoyi to leave the city, and Liu Town will be destroyed!"
Everyone was stunned.
While chatting and laughing, the strong enemy was destroyed!
On the 19th day of the 12th year of Chuizheng, Hongze Mansion.
Zhu Xin, the Jiedu Mansion, entered the door and ran quickly. When he passed a corridor, the silver crown on his head was touched by a stretched branch and leaves, and he had no time to straighten it.
At this time, Du Gong was really reviewing the documents. When he heard the sound, he couldn't help but look up and wonder.
"Master, there has been a major change in Wenyang, Changding, the second town of Wenyang!" Zhu Xin rushed to Du Gongzhen and quickly reported.
"What happened?" Du Gongzhen asked frowned. Zhu Xin had always been calm. Why did this happen at this time?
"Master General, on September 13, Wang Hongyi defeated the Liuying 5,000 camp with 1,300 people. Liu Chaoyi fled in a panic, with only 200 cavalry left. On the fifteenth, Wang Zunzhi sent troops, claiming to be 20,000. Shunyi County and Luchuan County have surrendered without fighting, but Changding Prefecture is already an isolated city."
"What?" Hearing this, Du Gongzhen couldn't keep calm and stood up.
"What a big deal, how dare I speak nonsense? I have sent someone to investigate, it's true!" Zhu Xin took a breath and continued: "Following this situation, the two towns of Wenyang, Changding, who have been entangled for more than ten years, are finally going to decide the outcome."
"Master General, the two towns in Wenyang of Changding can only be healthy in the rear. If a strong town appears, we will be attacked from both sides. It is better to send troops to intervene immediately."
Du Gongzhen stood up and walked back and forth in the lobby. When the two towns merged into one, she would indeed be attacked from both sides. It was like a huge cloud covering her heart, her face was extremely gloomy.
At this moment, a general was silent in the lobby, and a general said, "Master General, we were forced by Wei Cundong and we couldn't draw many soldiers. If we really wanted to draw, there were only two thousand. Wang Zunzhi was a general who had been in charge for more than ten years. Since he had won a great victory and was known as twenty thousand, then there were at least ten thousand. How could we interfere with the two thousand soldiers?"
Zhu Xin said angrily: "It is because of this that we cannot let Wang Zunzhi easily defeat Liu Zhen. If he conquers him, he will be really 20,000 soldiers. What should we do if we are attacked from both sides in the future?"
He turned around and bowed to Du Gongzhen: "Master, we heard that Wang Zunzhi's health is no longer good. At this time, as long as the general sends troops, two thousand can be called five thousand, and threatens him. At that time, Changding Mansion will strengthen its resistance. If it cannot be captured for a long time, Wang Zunzhi can only withdraw his troops. At that time, we may form an alliance with Changding Town or annex it, but we must not let Wang Zunzhi capture Liu Town easily. Once we attack, we will be in danger."
"We must use dangerous and strange soldiers, and please make sure the general makes a decision."
Du Gongzhen frowned, took a few steps, and said, "Zhu Xin is right. At this time, we must not easily capture Liu Zhen for Wang Zunzhi. I will pass on my orders and immediately summon troops and food preparations. We will send troops tomorrow morning."
In ancient times, summoning troops was a major event. With food, grass, and soldiers, it was already a very elite force to send troops tomorrow morning.
"Avoid the order!" Everyone in the hall immediately agreed, and the sound of armor and clothes continued.
Du Gongzhen was originally a decisive person. The next day, he sent two thousand troops, one thousand steps, and three hundred cavalry. He set out from Hongze Prefecture and arrived in Liuzi County that day. He had a rest in the evening. The next day, he continued to rush to reach Changshou County, which was already the border between Hongze County and Changding County.
That night, there were no such camps in the county town, and camping in the county town. Under the night sky, the red bonfire light could be seen everywhere.
At this moment, a sound of horse hooves broke the quiet of the night: "I have urgent information and want to see the commander!"
Almost at the same time, the county yamen was silent, and a general walked slowly along the corridor, patrolling around with his eyes alertly.
At first glance, the county government office, which seemed to be empty, saw the close servants who were dressed in a clean and cautious manner in the shade of trees and flowers, and saw him coming and saluted him.
At this moment, the long neighing of a horse came from nowhere.
In closer, Du Gongzhen sat at the table in front of the window, thinking silently. At this moment, a report broke the tranquility: "Master, there is an emergency military situation!"
Du Gongzhen was shocked and said, "Transfer!"
A cavalry came in and knelt on the ground to salute: "Master, urgent military information, Changding Mansion has fallen."
"What? Changding Mansion fell like this?" Du Gongzhen's face changed and she stood up. She was too fierce and actually knocked over the documents and ink on the table to the ground.
"Yes, the three thousand prisoners faced the Wailing Wall, and the crying of the whole mansion shocked the whole mansion. People's hearts were fluctuating. Even if they were killed, it would be useless. At night, the wealthy families in the city opened their doors to offer the city, and Changding Mansion was destroyed."
