Now that Wei Yuancheng has joined the army, no matter who the commander-in-chief is, it is impossible to ignore his identity as the grandson of Wei Xiaokuan.
In this era, the so-called war history and the like only focus on the results and not what the process was like. Not many people pay attention to it, and there are almost no records. In particular, most history books are originally required to be concise and comprehensive, so they have little interest in the process.
Omit it. If future generations want to know the specific details of a war, they still have to come from the mouths of people who have experienced this war.
Of course, in response to this situation, the Han Military Academy has begun to solve the problem, actively looking for participants in past wars, recalling the details of the war as much as possible, and even specifying when and how many arrows and stone bullets were used.
some type of.
However, this kind of work is inherently cumbersome, and many former combatants are now active on the battlefield, so there is not much time to talk about it. Also, because of the passage of time, memories have become biased, and many people's memories are needed to calibrate them.
Until now, the military academies of the Han Dynasty have only advanced the review and restoration of the war to the annihilation war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty against the Northern Qi Dynasty. Going forward, the wars during the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties have not yet had the energy.
So when it comes to this, it is actually just the Battle of Yubi forty or fifty years ago, and it depends on Wei Yuancheng. This is another reason why Li Xun insisted on bringing him to this meeting where high-level generals gathered, or
It may be more appropriate to say it is a channel.
When Li Xun wanted to promote Wei Yuancheng, he first needed Wei Yuancheng to have enough meritorious service. There was no need to rush. The more eager he was to make military exploits on the battlefield, the easier it would be for the enemy to seize the flaw and then set a trap.
Wei Yuancheng was still young and could afford to wait. Secondly, he naturally wanted Wei Yuancheng to be able to show off his face in front of these middle and high-level generals of the Han army.
Wei Yuancheng has a special status. Generals from the southeast, such as Huang Wan, naturally do not need to give face, but generals from the north, including Yang Su, even if they do not give face to Li Xun, they still have to give face to Wei Xiaokuan. After all, this old commander
The Wei family has controlled the military and political affairs in the north for so many years, and the Wei family has some connections with other families. If you don't give him face, you won't give face to your fathers. There is no need to return to this family.
But even if it is a promotion, you still have to have such an opportunity. Show your face more and show more, and the opportunity will naturally come.
Before joining the army, Wei Xiaokuan had already informed Wei Yuancheng of his life's combat experience in detail. Naturally, he hoped that this boy could learn from it and be able to cope with unexpected needs in future battles. After all, the entire northern battlefield is basically
Wei Xiaokuan left his footprints in all the places in the world. Wei Xiaokuan also knew all the Xiongguan fortresses in the north. His experience was extremely precious.
Wei Yuancheng stood up in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. He first bowed his hands to Yang Su who was sitting in the seat, and then said while recalling: "My eldest father once told me that Yubi City is the first-class fortress in the east of Hedong. Only Tong Zaixun can do it."
The Huagu City in Yuzhou can be compared with it. The biggest advantage of Yubi City compared to Huagu City is that the city is close to the Fen River, but it guards the mountains. The city is high and the pond is deep, and there is an endless supply of water in the city.
Therefore, if you want to break the city, you must do it as soon as possible, and you must not delay, otherwise you will only become the second Gao Huan."
Yang Su was very satisfied with Wei Yuancheng's attitude. Although he was a disciple of the general, he was respectful and humble, and he did have the style of Wei Xiaokuan. If he cultivated it more, he might not be able to be as independent as Wei Xiaokuan in the future.
"Hua Gucheng, I almost forgot, now Hua Gucheng is also under the control of Chang Shan." Yang Su rubbed his chin, but no one really believed what he said. If you can't even believe this Hua Gucheng,
Chengdu forgot, so did you come to Xunzhou for vacation?
Huagu City is also located in Xunzhou. It was built by Hu Luguang, a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Its purpose of existence is to confront the Northern Zhou army in Yubi City and guard the road from Yubi City eastward through Huanghua Valley and deep into Hedong. The Northern Zhou army attacked several times.
There was no breakthrough, and in the end the two sides formed a situation similar to the confrontation between Hanwang City and Xiangwang City across the Chu River and the Han border.
If you want to break through Xunzhou and go north to reach Zhengping County, you must not only pass through Yubi City, but also attack Huagu City. Only by breaking through these two fortresses that were once destined enemies and are now at odds with each other,
Only then can we truly defeat the second line of defense of the Northern Zhou army in the east of Hedong. From Xunzhou and then along the Fen River, there is almost no obstruction. Even if we go directly east, the next critical point will be the Taihang Mountains.
Once you pass Taihang, it is no longer the territory of Hedong.
Yang Su said this clearly, obviously testing Wei Yuancheng. It's not surprising that you can tell the way to capture Yubi City, but what about Huagu City behind?
Jade Wall City is the place where Wei Xiaokuan once fought, so what Wei Yuancheng is saying now is not so much his own thoughts as Wei Xiaokuan's thoughts. This does not really prove that Wei Yuancheng is capable enough to stand on his own and can be influenced by others.
On the contrary, it can only mean that Wei Yuancheng is able to get to where he is today just because of his good background.
Being born well is not a very honorable thing in the Han Dynasty. The implementation of the imperial examination system has allowed more common people to have a way to be promoted, and the biggest impact on the children of aristocratic families is naturally to allow these children of aristocratic families to compete with themselves from the original
The background, how powerful one's ancestors are gradually turned into a competition of personal talents.
In the imperial examination, the aura of your ancestors cannot bring you much practical benefits, but your true talents and learning can.
Wei Yuancheng coughed lightly. It was obvious that he had been prepared beforehand, otherwise he would never dare to stand here so carelessly.
"Compared to Yubi City, Huagu City is also stronger, but the biggest danger of Huagu City is that this city is not on the Fenshui River, but on the edge of a river valley, a basically dry river valley. In other words, this city
Drinking water in the city cannot be guaranteed." Wei Yuancheng pointed at the sand table, "So if what Yubi City, which is located on the flat land by the river, fears most is a fierce attack, then what Huagu City fears most is a siege."
After a pause, Wei Yuancheng said directly: "The previous confrontation between the Zhou and Qi people was in Huagu City because Huagu City was the choke point from land to the heart of the northeastern part of the river, but now we have to use
It is actually the Fen River and not the road on this road, so we can completely bypass Huagu City and besiege it without attacking it. After the food and water in Huagu City are exhausted, we can defeat it without attacking."
"Having said that, Huagu City and Yubi City are not only in confrontation, but also at the horns of each other. If we attack one of them, the other will definitely not sit idly by." Yang Su's voice was very calm.
