Qin Huaidao was a little surprised when he heard the list Li Jingren said. He had never heard of it. Where did these people suddenly appear? He couldn't help but look at Luo Wu.
Luo Wu wandered around Chang'an and was handed over to Guangfa. He knew more things, but he shook his head with doubts on his face.
Qin Huaidao couldn't help but look at Xu Shiji: "Mr. British, have you ever heard of these people?"
"No, I'm afraid he's a rising star." Xu Shiji said and looked at Li Jingren.
Li Jingren hurriedly explained: "King Han, these five people are not well-known and have never heard of it. However, the fathers of these five people are famous and famous all over the world. They say that these long officials are here to help, and their fathers are here to protect their children."
"Come to take care of the child?"
Xu Shiji's face changed slightly, and he asked solemnly: "During the Daye period, he paid homage to General Youyiwei, and served as the general of marching in Goguryeo three times, quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Later, he visited Jiangdu with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and served as General Zuoyiwei.
General, granted the title of Duke Rong. In the 14th year of the great cause, there was a mutiny in Jiangdu, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was murdered, and he was killed together with his son to protect him. His family has never been seen in the world, so why did he join the King of Wei?"
"That's unknown."
Li Jingren continued: "Sima Xiong was trustworthy when he joined the army, and his father was brave in the sea."
"It's him?"
Qin Huaidao smiled. He was another descendant of one of the Eighteen Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Is this a gathering of heroes and a showdown between young heroes? He asked: "Wouldn't Wei Lai, Wu Zhineng and Liu Huairen also have a good father?"
"The King of Han is wise."
Li Jingren smiled and said: "Wei Lai's father Wei Wentong, Wu Zhineng's father Wu Tianxi, Liu Huairen's father Liu Shili."
Qin Huaidao is no stranger to these names. Historically, Mr. Shan Tianfang’s Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was so exciting that I listened to it frequently. Xiong Kuohai ranked fourth, Wu Tianxi ranked sixth, Wei Wentong ranked ninth, and Liu Shili was not included.
, but also heroic.
At this time, Xu Shiji suddenly laughed: "Haha, these are young heroes who come out in large numbers. I know Wei Wentong and Wu Tianxi are brave and extraordinary, but I don't know how their sons are. I hope they don't lose the reputation of their fathers. I also want to know. As for Liu Shili,
He is also proficient in the art of war, but I don’t know how much his son has learned.”
"How does Liu Shili compare with you?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Xu Shiji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This man first followed Wang Shichong and served as a personal guard general. After Luoyang was pacified, he joined Qin King Li Shimin and participated in the Xuanwumen mutiny. Later he moved to the inspection school as the general Youwuhou. He quelled the rebellion of King Luo Yi of Yan County and served as the inspection school.
Governor of Qizhou, he defeated the invasion of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, moved to be the governor of Shizhou, is proficient in civil and martial arts, and is more confident than me in military affairs, but he is better in governance."
"Oh, it looks like he has some skills." Qin Huaidao paid more attention to it.
A tiger father has no dog sons!
After thinking about it, Qin Huaidao continued: "The King of Wei can bring so many people together, so I underestimate him. However, our fathers are heroes, and our sons will only know after they have experienced them. We are also as fierce as the clouds, so there is no need to worry."
"That is!"
Xu Shiji agreed: "The fathers of these five men are very heroic, but in front of the Qin Shubao brothers, fireflies are as bright as the sun and the moon. Among the two generations, the King of Han is also like the bright sun and the moon, and no one can compete for the glory."
"When did the upright British people learn the words of flattery?" Qin Huaidao joked, then looked at Xue Rengui and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, heroes from all over the world have gathered in Chang'an. This battle will surely shock the world and last forever.
The annals of history are up to you."
"Thank you, King Han!"
Military general, who doesn’t want to fight for the first place?
Who doesn't want to be a hero in the world and leave a name for the ages?
The battle in the Central Plains, Qin Huaidao had long expected that it would not be easy, so he did not leave Xue Rengui in the Western Regions. He was waiting for this moment. How could the name of the God of War be buried? One month of Gong City is not enough.
Chang'an is the place where Xue Rengui is proud of the world!
At this time, Li Jingren reminded: "King Han, there is another news. The gate of Chang'an City is completely blocked by mud and stones. No one is allowed to enter or exit. It seems that he is ready to defend it to the death."
"Oh, you will gain wisdom by taking every step. Are you afraid that we will blow open the city gate and rush in?" Qin Huaidao smiled.
Everyone also laughed, it was an honor to force the opponent to seal the city gate, which showed that the opponent was afraid.
But once the city gate is blocked, it is difficult for the army to enter. It is indeed a bit difficult. Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Let's go back to discuss the matter. The situation is more difficult than expected. How can we make a good plan for the next fight?"
The group returned to the main camp and entered the Chinese military tent.
"Luo Wu, find some charcoal and big paper."
"Follow the order." Luo Wu hurriedly left.
Everyone sat on the ground in order of priority. On the left and right sides were British Duke Xu Shiji and An Guogong Zhi Shisi Li. Xue Rengui and other army commanders sat down in turn.
Qin Huaidao looked around, his eyes lingering on Shan Daozhen and Xue Zhi for a moment longer. Xue Zhi had accumulated military merit and had been promoted to army commander. He now had many powerful generals under his command, but he was short of counselors.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Xu Shiji: "The British Lord, do you have any ideas about the battle of Chang'an?"
"The city gate of Chang'an is blocked and it is difficult for our army to enter. This is second to none. The most difficult thing is the people in the city. Once a war breaks out, accidental injuries will inevitably occur, which may damage the reputation of the King of Han." Xu Shiji took the opportunity to throw out the confusion in his heart.
Everyone is a sensible person, and they know very well that once the fighting starts, the people in the city will suffer the most.
The King of Han was benevolent and could not bear to hurt innocent people. If this happened, the soldiers would inevitably be unable to free their hands and feet, and their hands would be tied up. This battle would be difficult to fight.
Qin Huaidao understood everyone's concerns, thought about it, and said: "The people are innocent. If we kill indiscriminately, how are we different from robbers and butchers? Not only can we not kill indiscriminately, but we cannot break Chang'an. This is the bottom line. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"
Everyone looked solemn and silent in thought.
After a while, Xu Shiji broke the silence: "The King of Han is benevolent and righteous, and he values the people. I admire him for this. In this case, there is only one strategy, encircle without attacking, and waste everything."
"Our army can't afford it," Xue Rengui reminded.
"Yes, our army has limited food and grass and cannot afford to consume it. But with the large number of people in Chang'an, the consumption will be greater and faster. Once the city is besieged, not even a grain of rice can enter. What will they eat? The army may have stockpiles of food, but the people are the most numerous.
If there is no food for two months, there will be panic and chaos. At that time, the army can only release food relief. In this way, the consumption will be faster. What will they do when the food is exhausted?" Xu Shiji analyzed.
Without food, there is no way to hold on.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement.
Xu Shiji continued: "King Han, the Chang'an garrison dare not not help the people, otherwise they will lose the support of the people and the consequences will be more serious. It will be beneficial to our army to besiege the city and force them to chaos. The only certainty is that the time will be too long."
"Then how to solve the problem of food for our army?" An Guogong asked.
