Guan Xing was not the only one who was anxious about the lack of results in the attack.
Jiang Wei was not the only one trying to steal the city.
For example, Fu Qian, who followed Zheng Pu in the army at the age of ten, once proposed to steal from the North City Gate with a flying hook.
But he said that Wu Ban, who attacked from the north city gate, sent out five thousand soldiers to attack the east city gate to respond.
The chief officer of this army is Liao Hua, and his deputy is Fu Qian. It can be regarded as a good match between young and old.
Likewise, there are also conflicts in ideas.
For example, although Liao Hua had a generous temperament, he became calm as he grew older, so he did not agree with Fu Qian's advice to take risks.
"Gongyuan, Guo Huai is a veteran general in the army against the Wei Dynasty, so he must be prepared. And it is difficult to use tricks to attack difficulties. I know that you have a strategy, but you cannot take chances and take risks, lest you ruin the prime minister's plan."
This is how he refused.
But it seems that Fu Qian has been with Zheng Pu for too long, and his temperament has become very stubborn.
He felt that the five thousand soldiers attacking the east city gate was really a failure.
Unable to do so, the troops were insufficient to form a surging force, so the threat to the city wall was naturally very small. Guo Huai only sent about 800 soldiers to guard it, leaving them helpless.
In other words, their attack here did not achieve the purpose of dividing the defenders' strength and constraining the North City Gate and West City Gate.
In this case, it is better to go back to the North City Gate and attack the fortress together with Wu Ban.
Liao Hua felt very sad about this.
He also sent people to ask Wu Ban, claiming that it was difficult for him to make achievements on the east side of the city, and asked if he could move to the north of the city.
Wu Ban has no objection to this.
When the governor Liao Huagang returned, Fu Qian privately sought out Wu Ban and once again mentioned the suggestion of stealing the city from the south gate.
This made Liao Hua a little dumbfounded.
Fu Qian persuaded him to turn his troops back to the north of the city in order to stick to his point of view...
But as expected, Fu Qian was rejected again.
Compared with Liao Hua, Wu Ban, who was very old, showed more concern for Fu Qian's successor as if he were the successor of a great man.
Because he knew that his fathers died in a national disaster, and he was raised in palace confinement at a young age. Zheng Pu, who was resourceful and decisive, taught him everything he could, and Fu Qian, who was once taken by the prime minister to teach him by words and deeds, would definitely be the leader of the third generation of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Flag bearer.
Returning to the old capital is the struggle of their generation.
The important task of reviving the Han Dynasty and once again spreading the banner of the Han Dynasty throughout the Thirteen States and the Western Regions required the efforts of the young generation.
Just as the prime minister did not allow Guan Xing to risk his own life, Wu Ban would not let Fu Qian commit an act of stealing the city, which was tantamount to suicide.
However, when the war went unfavorably and the soldiers' morale began to wane, Wu Ban thought of Fu Qian's proposal again.
It seems like, can you give it a try?
Wu Ban, who only wished to see the powerful man return to the old capital before his death, was a little shaken.
Because he knew that if the Han Dynasty failed to capture Chencang City this year, he would definitely end up with regrets like his elder brother Wu Yi.
As for Fu Qian’s safety~~
He just asked his subordinates to lead the army to execute it!
With this in mind, he found Fu Qian and asked him how he planned to steal the city from the North City Gate at night and what he needed to pay attention to.
But when Fu Qian heard about it, he sighed sadly.
He said: "Going back to the old general, the prime minister has transferred soldiers from General Jiang's headquarters in Weinan to attack the fortress. Our army has lost the opportunity to steal the city!"
It’s no longer possible?
It also made him stunned for a moment.
When you come back to your senses and think about it carefully, you will understand.
I would like to ask, Jiang Wei's troops stationed south of the Wei River have all divided their troops to attack the west gate. How could Guo Huai not be alert? How could he not have people guard the south gate to prevent Jiang Wei's troops from stealing the city?
In fact, even the East City Gate, which is no longer under attack, is on strict guard.
"Oh, that's all."
After a few wry smiles, Wu Ban shook his head slightly and said with some regret, "Since we can't take risks, we won't reconsider this matter. And in my opinion, if we report this matter to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister will not agree. Hmm.
, Gongyuan, please go back, I will attack your troops the next day and prepare as soon as possible."
"promise."
Fu Qian responded.
But he had no intention of moving, and his face was full of hesitation.
Seeing this, Wu Ban said "Huh" and asked with interest, "Zi Jin has the ability to plan. Since the Northern Expedition, he has made many ingenious plans and achievements. Gongyuan studied under Zi Jin and will definitely get his true inheritance. Now he is stealing the city."
The plan is almost gone, Gongyuan said the plan is about to be implemented?"
"Don't dare to act like an old general."
Fu Qian quickly raised his hand and spoke humbly, but then he put on a smile and said, "I have few talents and little knowledge, so I can't wait to see Mr. Qian's back. But when the old general mentioned it just now, he suddenly felt that it was the old general who contributed to the destruction of Chencang City."
"oh?"
Wu Ban smiled solemnly, his expression becoming more amiable, "Tell me, why does Gongyuan think that after the increase of troops at the west gate, it is us who can seize the city wall?"
"promise!"
Fu Qian nodded heavily and responded loudly, "Old General, I thought that if Guo Huai rebelled against Wei, he would definitely send some soldiers from the North City Gate to the West City Wall!"
indeed.
After the Prime Minister mobilized troops from Jiang Wei's troops, who had been recuperating, to attack, Guo Huai was bound to increase his troops at the west gate due to the pressure of the new force.
He did not dare to relax the south city wall. Under the security of the east city wall, he could only use some troops to pass through the north city wall.
Furthermore, the Han army's banner is now at the west gate.
Even though the Wu Ban tribe had 20,000 troops, for Guo Huai, the soldiers under the personal supervision of the Han Prime Minister would be even more desperate.
Wu Ban is also aware of this.
However, even if Guo Huai sends part of his troops over, there will still be no flaws at the North City Gate~~
Why did Fu Qian dare to make such an assertion?
"Advice for the country, regardless of whether it is right or wrong."
Wu Ban, who knew that Fu Qian's words were unfinished, whispered, "If Gong Yuan has something to think about, just say it directly. It doesn't matter if he is wrong. There is no need to be taboo."
"promise."
This time, Fu Qian solemnly performed a military salute, lowered his head and said in a lowered voice, "Old General, Fu Zhi's army has more than thirty trebuchets that have been repaired. Recently, because the soldiers can squeeze into the city wall every time they attack, they can fight.
In order not to accidentally injure one's own soldiers, it will not be used again. However, Qian thought that if Guo Huai of Wei Dynasty transferred part of his troops to the west gate, our army could throw stones indiscriminately when attacking the fortress. With the few troops, it would be difficult to continue. If there were any
If the stones can be thrown away, our army will surely capture the city!"
"hiss!"
After hearing this, Wu Ban took a breath immediately, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Fu Qian, who still had his head lowered, seemed to be unaware, and continued, "Old General, you know that my great Han Dynasty has been based on benevolence and righteousness since the late emperor, but kindness does not lead to troops. Although there is no difference in throwing stones, one's own troops will be accidentally injured.
But capturing the city one day earlier will also reduce the casualties of our soldiers! If the old general agrees to this strategy and you have some courage, I am willing to personally lead a thousand men of my headquarters to attack the city first the next day and capture Chencang City for our great Han!"
After he finished speaking for a long time, there was still dead silence in the military tent.
Fu Qian still maintained his posture of bowing his head to ask for orders; while Wu Ban twisted his beard and groaned, and the ever-changing look in his eyes showed that he was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man.
Because he knew that Fu Qian said two things that were right.
First, kindness does not command troops.
On the other hand, breaking the city as soon as possible will reduce the casualties of soldiers...
