"What? Say it again!" In the Governor's Mansion of Taiyuan City, Xia Houyuan's fifth son, Xia Hourong, looked at the soldier in ragged clothes and covered in blood with a look of shock and anger. He looked like he was about to eat him alive!
"Lao Wu!" At this time, a deep voice came from next to Xia Hou Rong, but it was Xia Hou Wei, Xia Hou Yuan's fourth son, sitting next to him. However, Xia Hou Wei's face was not very good either. He was obviously displeased with the sergeant just now.
The news was equally shocking and angry. However, Xia Houwei was much calmer than Xia Hou Rong. He did not lose his composure like him. He shouted in a deep voice: "Why are you so anxious? Have you forgotten what father taught us before? Stay calm in times of trouble.
, is the foundation of being a general!"
Although Xia Houwei said this, Xia Hourong could not calm down at all. He turned his head and glared at Xia Houwei and shouted: "Fourth brother! How do you want me to calm down? Although Xiahou Mao is a waste, he is a descendant of our Xiahou family after all.
!Now he was killed by the Western Qin Army! Don’t forget, Xiahou Mao was entrusted by the master to our brothers to take care of! If he dies like this, how can we represent him to the master? "
"Fifth brother!" "Lao Wu!" Several voices sounded at the same time, all of them scolding Xia Hou Rong. Although Xia Hou Rong said this is also the voice of all the Xia Hou brothers present, but after all, Xia Hou Mao is the son of Xia Hou Dun, but Xia Hou Rong is the son of Xia Hou Rong.
It's a bit inappropriate to call him a loser! The man dressed as a scholar opposite Xia Hou Rong is none other than Xia Hou Hui, the sixth son of Xia Hou Yuan. Unlike the other brothers, Xia Hou Hui studied literature and became a civil servant
, then Taiyuan County Magistrate.
First position.
At the top of the study room sat two men dressed as generals. They were Xia Houheng, the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, who was the governor of Bingzhou at the time, and Xiahou Ba, the second son of Xiahou Yuan, who was in charge of the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou! It was completely different from Xia Hourong's shock and anger.
The two of them looked calm, and there was no wrong emotion on their faces. Seeing that all the brothers turned their attention to themselves, Xia Houheng and Xia Houba looked at each other, and Xia Houba nodded.
He nodded and said in a deep voice: "The issue we have to consider now is not Xia Houmao's life or death, but the Western Qin army that invaded Bingzhou! The Western Qin army invaded Bingzhou in a large scale, and they will definitely not settle for just occupying a stone building.
Give up!"
"What the second brother said is absolutely true!" Xia Houheng nodded, agreed with Xia Houba's view, and said: "The Western Qin army is powerful. If they attack Bingzhou with all their strength, our Bingzhou troops alone will never be able to withstand it!
However, according to the intelligence, the Western Qin Army should not concentrate its forces to attack Bingzhou this time, so we should still be able to fight!"
"Brother is right!" At this time, Xia Houcheng, the third among the Xiahou brothers, also spoke up and said: "In my opinion, since the Western Qin Army has captured Shilou, the next step should be to go north to attack Xihe County! Back then,
Zhao Yun did the same thing when he attacked Bingzhou! It may be difficult for the defenders of Xihe County to withstand the offensive of the Western Qin Army, so we should send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"No!" As soon as Xia Houcheng finished speaking, Xia Houwei objected, shaking his head and saying: "According to time, even if we send reinforcements now, I'm afraid it's already too late. The West Qin Army has always attacked quickly and fiercely. Xihe
The county must have fallen into the control of the Western Qin Army! We should send troops to defend Wenshui and Pingyao to block the Western Qin Army's route from Xihe County to attack Taiyuan!"
"The third brother is right!" "No! The fourth brother is right!"
Xia Houcheng and Xia Houwei put forward their two opinions, which immediately aroused a debate among the brothers sitting down. Some supported Xia Houcheng's statement, and some supported Xia Houwei's statement. Each had their own reasons, but no one could
Can't convince anyone.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Seeing the brothers arguing endlessly, the boss Xia Houheng frowned and drank in a deep voice. Xia Houheng's prestige is the highest among the brothers, so what he said
, the brothers did not dare to speak. Xia Houheng immediately turned his head, looked at a civil servant on the other side, and said, "Does Mr. Chen have any good ideas?"
Among all the people here, this civil servant is the only one with a foreign surname. He is Chen Qun, an important minister of Cao Wei. Although the Xiahou brothers are all good, they are mostly good at military affairs, and Chen Qun is good at government affairs, so Cao Cao sent Chen Qun to Bingzhou to assist the Xiahou brothers.
Seeing Xia Houheng's question on his head, Chen Qun also raised his head and glanced at all the Xiahou brothers, but he secretly admired in his heart. Xiahou Yuan had seven sons, but all of them were outstanding talents.
Xia Houyuan himself, one of the eight heroes of this sect, is probably rare in the world! After praising him in his heart, Chen Qun also coughed lightly and said: "What General Boquan just said is absolutely true. The Western Qin Army is coming this time."
The criminals definitely came with the purpose of occupying Bingzhou! Since the generals are entrusted by the lord to garrison Bingzhou, they naturally have to defend it well!"
Although Chen Qun talked nonsense for a long time, Xia Houheng did not interrupt him in a hurry, because Xia Houheng knew the speaking habits of these literati, so he seemed to be patiently waiting for Chen Qun to continue. Sure enough,
After Chen Qun talked a lot, he changed the topic and said: "I have thought about the methods mentioned by General Shu Quan and General Ji Quan just now, but I think they are not suitable for the current situation!"
Shuquan is the cousin of Xiahou Cheng, and Jiquan is the cousin of Xiahouwei. It is convenient for the Xiahou brothers to call each other, but outsiders like Chen Qun naturally can only use cousins to distinguish the names of the Xiahou brothers.
But Chen Qun's words directly rejected the opinions of Xia Houcheng and Xia Houwei. This made all the Xiahou brothers dissatisfied! However, Chen Qun was an old minister of Cao Wei, and his status was not much worse than their father.
Therefore, they could not be rude to Chen Qun and could only vent their dissatisfaction by glaring at Chen Qun at the same time.
"Don't be rude!" At this time, Xiahou Ba shouted. Although Xiahou Ba is not as prestigious as the boss Xia Houheng, as the strongest martial artist among the Xiahou brothers, Xiahou Ba's status among the brothers is not at all inferior.
Xiahou Hengchai, as soon as he opened his mouth, the brothers no longer dared to show their dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Haha! It doesn't matter!" Chen Qun chuckled, waved his hand to Xiahou Ba, and then said: "I don't mean to target General Shu Quan and General Ji Quan when I say this! The Western Qin Army is the strongest in the world, I believe you generals
I won’t deny this! Although the Bingzhou Army is capable of fighting well under the training of the generals, it is still inferior to the Western Qin Army! Although the suggestions put forward by the two generals just now are different, in summary, they are all the same
It is to divide the troops and fight! This idea of fighting for every inch of territory is certainly a good idea, but it also has a fatal weakness, that is, what if the reinforcements sent are also defeated by the Western Qin army? "
The Xiahou brothers are all outstanding men. When Chen Qun said this, he immediately made the brothers understand what Chen Qun meant. Previously, in order to mobilize troops and horses to attack Nanton, all the excess troops and horses in Bingzhou had been mobilized. The remaining troops
The horses are enough to defend the cities in Bingzhou. If we follow Xiahou Cheng or Xiahou Wei's suggestions, it will be good to block the offensive of the Western Qin Army. If they fail, the already tight Bingzhou defenders will be even more difficult.
We are stretched thin! Let alone other cities, even Taiyuan will not be able to defend it!
Xia Hou said it was straightforward. After realizing that there was a problem with his suggestion, he immediately said to Chen Qun: "Sir Chen! If it is according to your opinion, how should we respond?"
Regarding Xia Houcheng's question, Chen Qun obviously had a plan in mind. He smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said: "In my opinion, not only should we not divide our troops to assist the counties in Bingzhou! Instead, please give the general an order to mobilize the counties.
The defenders return to Taiyuan! Gather all the troops in Bingzhou and defend Taiyuan! If Taiyuan is not lost, then Bingzhou will not be lost!"
As soon as Chen Qun said this, the Xiahou brothers were in an uproar. Even Xiahouheng and Xiahouba, who were the calmest, showed expressions of astonishment. Xiahou Rong, the fifth child, snorted with some disapproval on his face: "Master Chen's words are also
It’s not necessarily clever! If you deploy garrison troops from various counties, wouldn’t that mean you’re giving up all the counties in Bingzhou and handing over the cities and counties to the Western Qin army? Huh! This statement is really ridiculous!”
"Uh!" Xia Houheng waved his hand to tell Xia Hourong to stop talking, but he himself felt that Chen Qun's suggestion was unreliable. He hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Master Chen, this plan is indeed somewhat inappropriate! Allocate all the soldiers from Bingzhou.
The Malay defense of Taiyuan, coupled with Taiyuan's city defense, can certainly ensure that Taiyuan is not lost! But if other cities and counties in Bingzhou fall, what is the use of just keeping Taiyuan intact? The Western Qin army can surround Taiyuan and send a large army to attack directly
Yanzhou, Jizhou, wouldn't it be bad then? When Western Qin attacked Sun Wu, didn't they use the same tactics?"
Regarding Xia Houheng's questions, Chen Qun always remained confident and said with a smile: "General Bo Quan's concerns are indeed reasonable, but they do not apply to the current situation! The current situation is different from that of the past. The current Western Qin Army
There are not enough troops and horses. We have to surround Taiyuan and attack Yanzhou and Jizhou. In this case, we need at least 100,000 troops! If Western Qin really has so many troops and horses, no matter how much we do, it will be useless.
It is better to give up Bingzhou as soon as possible! And the Western Qin Army will never dare to consider attacking elsewhere before completely occupying Bingzhou. If the Western Qin Army really does this stupid move, the generals can lead their troops out of Taiyuan and cut off the Western Qin Dynasty.
The army's retreat! At that time, the Western Qin Army will become a lone army and will inevitably be wiped out! This plan is to force the Western Qin Army to fight our army in Taiyuan! As long as the entire Bingzhou can be gathered
All the troops, at least nearly 30,000 people, combined with Taiyuan's city defense, are not without the power to fight!"
