Sitting in the banquet, Li Tai gradually began to feel something. Today's meeting was not so much a discussion on how to deal with the enemy as it was a briefing. How to deal with the enemy was second. The first thing was to integrate the team and unify the caliber.
This can be seen from the members who participated in the meeting. Most of the people present in the tent were military generals, and they were mainly members of Beizhen and Bafu generals. Officials from the Chang'an court rarely attended, and some were also Bafu generals.
We were sent there. And a very important point is that there were almost no Shiliu from Guanzhong present.
Apart from anything else, Prince Yuan Qin of the Western Wei Dynasty is still in the Xianyang camp. Even if he is just a puppet, such a high-level military meeting still needs to show off in the venue.
However, Yu Wentai did not invite the prince to attend, which means that this meeting was a closed-door meeting completely dominated by the Bafu. No matter what content was discussed, the court factors must be excluded.
But there is actually no fundamental conflict between the positions of the imperial court and the Bafu on this matter. After all, if the Eastern Wei army really attacks, neither the imperial court nor the Bafu will be too comfortable.
Li Tai guessed that Yu Wentai didn't want to go out to fight at all, so he would not let voices from the court join the discussion until he unified his thoughts and caliber.
It should be noted that the more people do not do anything, the less burden they will feel when they speak. Especially for a young man like Prince Yuan Qin who is in the rebellious period of the second grade of middle school, who has neither the ability to be responsible for his own words but is also keen to express his opinions. That is really
Dare to say anything when you seize the opportunity.
Originally, this was nothing. If what he said didn't make sense, just treat it as fart. Anyone with a reasonable mind wouldn't listen to his nonsense anyway.
But the problem is that the current Western Wei Dynasty is in a relatively sensitive period, that is, the army re-established after the Battle of Mangshan has still not experienced a real test. No one can say what level of combat effectiveness it has reached.
allow.
If they were just ordinary opponents, they would be defeated. However, the main force of the Eastern Wei army was the soldiers of the Six Towns who had been tested in wars. It is difficult to make an optimistic prediction as to whether these powerful right-wingers in Guanzhong can survive.
Moreover, even the troops of the Western Wei Dynasty, who were originally composed of Xianbei soldiers, went to Guandong several times to fight, and the results were not very good. Now that the main force of the army has changed, it is natural to try to avoid going out to fight.
Let’s not talk about winning, it’s not certain whether we can bring the team back again.
Therefore, gathering troops in Guanzhong to wait for work should be a consensus reached by the upper echelons of the Bafu, but this way of dealing with it is easy to say but not easy to hear.
Since the ninth year of Datong, large numbers of people have been recruited every year and parades have been held that wasted time and money. As a result, when the real challenge came, they were so scared that they dared not leave the house. It was really a loss of power and humiliation to the country.
Although the newly built Yubi City was used to stop the enemy in the eighth year of Datong, at that time, Bafu's Sixth Army was newly formed, and Yuwentai's control over the army was extremely high, and you Han people did not need to send troops with force.
Fight however you want.
But this time, the powerful people in Guanzhong have been supporting the construction of the Bafu army for several years, but in the end they have to use their homeland as a battlefield. This is really unacceptable.
Based on this point, if the Bafu cannot retreat but the imperial court desperately urges people to go out to fight, then the imperial court will undoubtedly be better able to cater to the people of Guanzhong. After all, no one wants to wake up to find that the enemy has already killed them outside their door.
For Yu Wentai, it was good that Yubi City could be defended. Even if it could not be defended, Wei Xiaokuan could certainly use Yubi City's geographical advantages to weaken some of the enemy's energy.
He still has a complete defense line on the Yellow River, and at worst he can gather elite troops to replicate the Battle of Shayuan. Even if it cannot be as glorious as the Battle of Shayuan, these Guanxi disciples have a much higher fighting spirit out of the desire to protect their elders in their hometown than when they go out.
Combat is much higher.
Sure enough, Yu Jin stood up and spoke on behalf of Daxingtai. What he said was that although the traitor army was fierce and stubborn, the unethical army was destined to destroy itself. Now the people in Guanzhong are united, and as long as the traitor army comes to invade, they will definitely fight.
They were left looking for teeth all over the place. As for the specific method of fighting, they didn't mention a word.
After listening to Yu Jin's speech, the generals all nodded in agreement, and many of them were obviously relieved. It was obvious that they were afraid of fighting the Eastern Wei army again from the bottom of their hearts.
The generals had such a reaction. It cannot be said that they are all timid and fearful of fighting. It is just that the Battle of Mangshan last year was too tragic. More importantly, many military leaders suffered a very serious blow, and in the past few years,
There is simply no effective way to supplement them, so that some generals only have power and power in name only, but no longer have matching power.
Li Tai, a new military leader with thousands of elite troops in his hands, could not bluntly say that everyone here is rubbish. He just looked at Yu Wenhu who was sitting at the bottom of the table frequently and saw that he only had a deep frown on his face and was thinking.
Eager to express my own opinions.
After informing the generals, Yu Wentai ordered them to return to their respective camps and strictly control their troops, and were not allowed to act without permission without military orders.
The generals stood up and left one after another, but Li Tai was not in a hurry to leave. Others could hide in the pass, but he didn't want to. How could progress be made without action? If Yu Wenhu didn't make any suggestions, he was going to propose it himself.
Soon most of the people in the tent left, leaving only a few core generals, and further discussions should continue.
When Yu Wentai saw Li Tai sitting in the banquet but refusing to leave, he asked, "Does Boshan have something to report?"
Li Tai did not speak directly, but looked at Yu Wenhu who was standing up from the last table and walking quickly into the tent.
When Yu Wenhu saw that his uncle was only asking about Li Tai but didn't notice that he hadn't left either, he was panicked and quickly said: "Boshan and I had discussed it together. Although we didn't expect the movements of the East Thieves at that time, we still know the details."
After thinking about it, it is quite consistent with the current situation. If you dare to make a plan, please ask your lord and all the gentlemen to consult with each other to see if it is feasible."
When Yu Wentai heard this, he nodded formally, pointed to the empty seat next to him and motioned for the two of them to come and sit closer, as if they wanted to listen carefully.
Seeing that Yu Wenhu had already spoken, Li Tai was not in a hurry to show off and signaled Yu Wenhu to continue speaking.
Yuwen Hu immediately calmed down, took out the strategic drawing he had sketched out for a long time from his arms, and began to explain the strategy of stealing a house. But when he heard that he actually wanted to steal a house in Jinyang, Yuwen Tai's eyes suddenly flashed with strange light.
Yu Jin and others also came forward curiously. After listening to Yu Wenhu's general story, Yu Jin said with a smile: "Although this plan is dangerous, if you use surprise troops to plunder the ground while the thieves are waiting, maybe it will be possible."
It can also achieve certain miraculous effects.”
After hearing this, Yu Wentai nodded and said with a smile: "He Liuhun is often known for his uncanny behavior, meticulous plans, and profound plans. If you can use light weapons to explore his heart, even if it does not damage the truth, it will be enough to make him often do it."
Be alert and don’t dare to take it lightly!”
Yu Wenhu was still a little less confident at first, but when he heard that his uncle and Yu Jin both praised the plan, he was immediately inspired and hurriedly said: "Boshan and I have made a detailed plan on this, and we will wait for his troops to deliver it."
As for me, I will rush to Beizhou, cross the river and surprise Jinyang North Road, in order to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and relieve the country from this crisis!"
When Yu Wentai heard this, his face suddenly tightened, and he frowned and said: "What I said before was just a joke, how can the military plan be child's play! The journey is long and difficult. If he is not a general who is good at conquering the army, I am afraid that he will be alone without fighting.
Collapse. What's more, the city of Jinyang is long, deep and wide, and it is extremely difficult to move it without strong soldiers. For this elite disciple to risk overthrowing the enemy just for the sake of a slight disturbance, how can a wise man use his army!"
Although Yuwentai also wanted to steal Gao Huan's escape route, he did not lose his mind because of this. Even if Jinyang City dispatched a large army, it would not be completely undefended, so it sent an elite cavalry force with thousands of troops running.
Here, the risks are too great and the visible expectations are too small. It's okay to say it's fun, but if you really want to put it into practice, the gains outweigh the losses.
When Yu Wenhu heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He had already sketched in his mind the heroic picture of himself surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, and turning the tide, but he did not expect to be dismissed casually by his uncle.
Li Tai knew that this kind of plan with only one idea but no specific steps and clear goals would be difficult to win Yu Wentai's approval. Seeing Yu Wenhu's frustrated look, he approached and said: "Soldiers are very dangerous, and there is no certainty that they will be inevitable."
If you succeed, even if you win by one point, if you act bravely, you can win five points.
It is true that this surprise attack cannot harm the foundation of Jinyang, but if the northern passage is shortened, it will be better than destroying the city and destroying the pass. Previously, when I and Wu An Gong and others attacked the invading Hu thieves in Beizhou, they captured a group of Xiheli soldiers.
The Shihu people were originally kept as slaves to herd Beizhou. However, now that the bandits from the East have emerged, Jinyang is empty. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to send the Shihu people back to the land of Xihe, they will definitely become a problem for the East bandits again...
…”
Yu Wentai was already lack of interest, but after hearing this, he suddenly showed a curious look on his face and said: "The old road in Pingcheng is not easy to cut. Without successors, it is difficult to show merit. But Xihe Hu Qun's
Boshan, please tell me in detail what’s going on!”
