There are ravines outside Yingchuan City, and there are traces of the army's crossing everywhere, and various fortifications can be seen everywhere.
The Mishui River, which originally ran from north to south, changed to flow from east to west when it passed through here. The city is located on the plains on the south bank of the river. The scale is not large, and the circumference of the city is only between seven and eight miles.
From the perspective of living conditions alone, Changshe City can be said to be rich in water and grass, comfortable and livable. However, from a military perspective such as city defense, it is a flat plain with no danger to defend. Even the city itself is not known for its tallness and grandeur.
, perhaps from the beginning of the city's construction, its military use was not considered too much.
Li Tai knew how ravaged this city would be in the future, so he was also curious about what Wang Sizheng, the person involved, was thinking right now.
When a group of them stopped at a ravine in the north of Changshe City, waiting for Hou Jing to come out of the city to meet him, Li Tai pointed to the city to the south and said: "At the end of the new general's entry into Henan, all the city garrison sights along the way seemed to be different.
Majestic and majestic.
Take the Changshe City in front of us as an example. The city is located in the plains, with no ravines or ridges blocking it. Even though there is a river flowing nearby, it is not close to the waterway, so it is dangerous. The city has nothing to rely on, and it is really dangerous.
If the military strategist does not want to take it, Hou Jingbei Town’s veteran soldier is a man who knows the military, so why should he not take it based on this?”
"In ancient times, when selecting a city location, the factors were nothing more than the availability of materials, situation, convenience, the number of piles needed, the land to be stored, and the living people. If it goes against survival, even though the peaks of ten thousand feet are not as high as the plains of Henan.
We already have a weak terrain, and any defense we set up is not about being able to defend it, but about being able to defend it!"
When it comes to city defense, Wang Sizheng is a master-level figure. He is riding on horseback, with the whip in his hand heading straight to the south of the city, and continues: "There are no geographical advantages here to take advantage of. The situation depends on human relationships. Human relationships.
If you get what you want, you can keep it; if you lose what you want, you can't keep it.
What do you mean by human feelings? If you stick to the old ways without making any changes, then human feelings will remain the same, and a united will will form a city that is stronger than earth and stone. On the contrary, if you insist on being new and different, you will have perverse aspirations and impetuous people, and you will be vulnerable even if you are few in number. Hou Jing guards this old city, and his soldiers
We can still fight for a while, but if we leave here and leave, our hearts will not be far apart."
Li Tai originally wanted to use this topic to find out Wang Sizheng's true thoughts and ideas, but he got such an answer that sounded a bit mysterious. He was a little confused for a moment: I don't study well, don't lie to me!
Wang Sizheng's theory is indeed a bit confusing at first, but if you think about it carefully, it actually emphasizes governing the military and governing the mind, strengthening psychological construction through people's behavioral habits, emphasizing people's adaptation and dependence on unchanging inertia, and reducing external variables.
feelings and expectations.
But this is obviously not the answer Li Tai wants. Although he admires Wang Sizheng's ability to defend the city, he also understands that people have their own strengths and does not feel that he urgently needs to strengthen his abilities in this area. If possible,
He still wants to be on the offensive side as much as possible.
After all, among all the generals in the Western Wei Dynasty, the number of elite cavalry he possesses is second to none, even compared with those noble generals in Jinyang. Only constant attacks can reduce the strength and types of his troops.
Make full use of your advantages.
So he asked again: "If the place is changed, and Duke Taiyuan invites people to guard this city, and the army of bandits from the east comes to attack, how can Duke Taiyuan resist it?"
After Wang Sizheng heard this question, his expression became serious. He did not think the question was meaningless, but thought about it seriously.
After all, they came here to urge Hou Jing to fulfill his promise and quickly give up Changshe City. When Hou Jing evacuates, the city will naturally become the property of Wang Sizheng, and the defensive pressure on the Eastern Wei Dynasty will naturally come from
It bears it.
After Li Tai asked this question, he kept observing Wang Sizheng. Wang Sizheng rode his horse around Changshe City in the distance to observe carefully. He was not in a hurry to answer Li Tai's question. Obviously, this also required careful consideration for him and could not be done.
Make a decision with a slap on the forehead.
Before Wang Sizheng could think clearly, a group of people had already galloped out of Changshe City opposite and were coming directly towards them. They should be Hou Jing and his party.
Seeing this scene, Wang Sizheng put away his thoughts, raised his hand and ordered his attendants to set up the tent on one side of the henggou, and then called Li Tai to sit in the middle of the curtain and wait for Hou Jing's arrival.
Not long after, the sound of horse hoofbeats became clearer from far to near. Li Tai wanted to get up and go out in advance to see what Hou Jing was like, but he saw that Wang Sizheng just couldn't sit up, so he could only be patient.
Continue to sit aside.
"Haha, Hou is late. I am tired of waiting for you!"
Not long after, a loud voice sounded outside the tent. Li Tai raised his eyes and saw a red-faced Hu man of medium build and high shoulders walking slowly toward him surrounded by soldiers. He took a closer look.
, only then did I realize that it was not the height of the shoulders but the length of the legs. It was just that the proportions of the upper and lower bodies were not very coordinated, making the lower limbs less conspicuous. This person must be Hou Jing.
He is a superficial person, and it is inevitable to judge people by their appearance. Just when he was lamenting that he was not as famous as the one he met, Hou Jing had already walked to the center of the tent. Seeing that Wang Sizheng still had no intention of getting up to greet him, he could not stop.
At the same time, his eyes fell on Li Tai, who was sitting next to Wang Sizheng. His face suddenly darkened. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Tai and said angrily: "I will discuss important matters with the king and evict all the idlers."
Outside the tent!"
Before he finished speaking, several powerful soldiers stepped forward from behind, holding their heads high and trying to take Li Taicha out.
Seeing Hou Jing pouring out the anger caused by Wang Sizheng's arrogance on himself, Li Tai couldn't help but feel speechless. He turned to look at Wang Sizheng and saw that he had no intention of speaking out. Hou Jing's soldiers were already approaching, so he simply drew out
He then slashed the wooden case in front of him with his sword, and shouted angrily: "You are not the only one who has been waiting for me for a long time, and you are not the only one who has been waiting for me for a long time! The reinforcements have come here and have forced back the east bandit army, but Changshe City has not yet been delivered. Could it be that you and others
Preface to self-destruction? If this trip is to dedicate the city, I will be waiting for you. If not, leave quickly and don’t stay. Return to the city to die!"
Hou Jing was naturally unhappy because of Wang Sizheng's arrogant attitude. At the same time, he was very displeased with this handsome and eye-catching young general with no wink. However, he did not expect that this young general would be even more irritable than him and would say inappropriate things.
He wanted to use the knife to fuck him, and his face turned livid in an instant.
However, before Hou Jing could get angry, Wang Sizheng stood up abruptly, pointed at Li Tai, stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "Li Boshan, you are so presumptuous! Don't think that if you defeat the enemy in a row, no one can control the Xingong River Bridge. If you continue
You are so arrogant and rude, I will immediately take away your authority and send you back to the country!"
This this……
Li Tai saw Wang Sizheng looking at him with a irritable and angry face, and he couldn't react for a moment. Judging from his expression and tone, he seriously suspected that this guy had accumulated his previous anger until now, but he quickly understood that Wang Sizheng was
Ask him to continue acting with a red face.
So he also stood up, glared at Wang Sizheng tit for tat and shouted: "The last general will have his own place of command, so don't bother Taiyuan Public Announcement! I have been ordered by Daxingtai to take over Changshe City. The city will not be left here for a day."
Situation! If the Duke of Taiyuan wants to use his personal anger to take revenge, he will never be a submissive person. I would like to try whether I am strong in my bones or the Duke of Taiyuan is strong in authority!"
"You, you... Wang Shijun, what is this?"
Hou Jing was originally angry because Li Tai pointed his nose at him and yelled at him, but before he could get angry, he saw that the other party had already started to make a noise. An anger accumulated in his chest and abdomen, and soon turned into full of anger.
Confused, he stared at Wang Sizheng and asked.
After hearing this, Wang Sizheng first glanced at Hou Jing, but when he glanced at Li Tai from the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but snorted: "It's hard to share a big plan! Daxingtai sent you to help, you clearly don't want me to succeed in Henan."
, and because there was a new breakthrough in Heqiao, he used this gangster to cause trouble!"
Li Tai also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Although the two of them were acting, he always felt that Wang Sizheng seemed to be pretending to be real and had emotions.
Naturally, he was not willing to lag behind. He raised his hand and forcefully withdrew the saber that was stuck on the wooden table, and then sneered: "Since the end of the general's career, I have never avoided Senior Su. It's really ridiculous for the Duke of Taiyuan to be jealous of young talents.
In just a few years, I first defeated Gao Yue, She Di Qian, and then Hu Lu Jin and Xue Guyan. They are all fierce and stubborn thieves. How can I be afraid of a mere Hou Jing? I can see life and death directly under the sword.
There is no point in being shy and showing off! If I lose, my skills will be inferior to others; if the thief loses, I will be seeking death!"
At this point, he put his sword back into its sheath, turned to look at Hou Jing who was standing aside, his face had become very ugly, and said: "A mute old dog, no one will take pity on him. A man who has lost his will, life is worse than death!"
I respect you, a certain marquis, who was fierce and tenacious in the past. Today I am honored to be ordered to come south. I know that you may not fulfill the previous agreement and hand over the Changshe, so I have made an appointment with you to fight to the death for this city. Each of us will compete for the city with bravery. There is no need for cunning and cunning.
Making the world laugh!"
Hou Jing was still a little out of sorts at this moment, but he had already vaguely understood that he was not a kind person who accepted things. Dang Jing's face darkened, he pointed at Li Tai and said angrily: "Shu Zi is eager to seek death, so why should I?"
Give it generously!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Wang Sizheng and said coldly: "I have no intention to interfere with the personnel affairs of your country, but if you invite me here today just to watch the military drama, will Wang Shijun think that I have nothing to do? No matter who dares to invade my city
, I will lead my troops to attack him until death!"
Obviously, Hou Jing felt that these two people were acting in front of him. He had used this trick countless times, so he would not be easily frightened. It was related to the military and political plans of a country, so how could it be such a trivial matter.
After Wang Sizheng heard this, the expression on his face changed. His teeth clenched. His eyes moved back and forth on Hou Jing and Li Tai. After a while, he suddenly let out a breath of turbid air, and all the energy in his body seemed to be released.
, sat back in his seat with a dejected look, waved his hand and said to Li Tai: "Li Boshan, go ahead, I won't care about what you do, and don't bother me whether it's life or death."
Li Tai knew that this was the critical moment to test his acting skills. If he had just been arrogant and unruly, he might not have aroused Hou Jing's attention, so he sneered at Wang Sizheng and said: "Taiyuan Gongda doesn't have to worry about me because of my youth."
They looked down on me, thinking that I was just coveting the merits of Heyang and not caring about Henan. But in fact, the real person who was greedy for the merits was the Duke of Taiyuan himself.
If the Duke could not be tempted by this and stick to Jingzhou, waiting for the southern army to advance to Xuanhu and block it from the east, then Hou Jing would be directly exposed to the blade of the eastern bandit army, with no help from all directions, and he would just pinch his fingers and wait for death.
What people covet is Henan, how can it be a scene? When the two stalemates are held in Yingchuan, our army will leave western Henan, and the southern troops will enter Huaibei..."
"shut up!"
Hou Jing originally had a sneer on his face, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He stamped his feet to stop Li Tai from continuing, then glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Who is this kid?
"
Sorry, sorry it's late. The scene of meeting Hou Jing is not easy to write. I changed several modes before writing this. I'll update it first and let's take a look... I'll write more tomorrow...
