Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4322 Make yourself smart
Shaolingyuan, Zuowuwei Camp, Cheng Yaojin knelt on the floor mat by the window, boiled water and made tea with a small red clay stove filled with incense charcoal, saw Niu Jinda walking in quickly, took a teacup to drink He took a sip, clicked his mouth, tasted the sweetness of the tea, shook his head and sighed: "That fellow Fang Er really enjoys it. I have been drinking tea for hundreds of years, and it has been cut down and simplified by him, and it has become such a mess. Elegant thing, even a rough person like me can sit down to boil a pot of water and make a pot of tea, and feel the true interest of nature and the spirit of peace of mind...it's amazing."

Niu Jinda didn't show respect when he came in, so he sat down beside him, took a teacup and poured tea, and said with a smile: "Compared with this tea, I prefer the hot pot made by Fang Er and the fine wine made by Fang Er. Enjoy these two things, life is perfect, what more can I ask for!"

Cheng Yaojin thought about it, and felt that what Niu Jinda said was true: "The hero sees the same thing! Although Fang Er's kid is a complete jerk, he still did a few decent things."

Ever since he heard that Liang Jianfang was not dead, he let go of the only bit of guilt in his heart, and he naturally felt relieved.

"Duke Wei ordered Liu Yanjing to take command and lead [-] soldiers to Fengqiyuan to stop Wei Chigong. Liu Yanjing was also eye-catching. He didn't have the impetuous arrogance of a young man who suddenly ascended to a high position and once had power in his hands. Instead, he approached Fanchuan in Fengqiyuan Taking advantage of the terrain, a camp was built condescendingly on the edge of the city. Although the camp built in one night is nothing more than superficial, but the strategy of steady and steady fighting is good. It is not easy for Yu Chigong to defeat it in one fell swoop, as long as Fengqiyuan cannot be captured quickly Arriving at the city of Chang'an is extremely detrimental to King Jin."

Niu Jinda took out the battle report and submitted it. At the same time, he recounted in detail all the information gathered by the scouts, and reported the current situation one by one.

Cheng Yaojin put down the teacup, took the battle report and read it, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "This Liu Yanjing thinks he is smart, who does he think Yu Chigong is, and he can be blocked by his hastily built camp? This son seems stable, but in fact Without wisdom, it is difficult to become a master.”

Niu Jinda wondered: "He first took over the military power at a young age, and it is difficult for the top and bottom of the army to order and prohibit it, so it is not the best strategy not to be greedy for meritorious deeds, but to fight steadily?"

"Fart's best strategy! When it comes to strategy, who in the world is better than Li Jing? Since Li Jing asked him to lead troops to stop Yu Chigong, he knew that he would be defeated. It can be seen that Liu Yanjing's troops must be the Sixth Army of the Eastern Palace. The part of the rate that can be sacrificed is discarded from the chaff to keep the essence, and the rest are the elite loyal to His Majesty... If Liu Yanjing can see through the truth, he should naturally drive the army to mobilize while Yu Chigong has not yet gained a firm foothold in Shenheyuan The attack is sure to fail, but it can give Yuchi Gong a heavy blow, and can complete Li Jing's goal of eliminating hidden dangers, so he can be regarded as a character with a bright future."

Cheng Yaojin drank his tea, pouted his lips and said in disapproval: "So, when our Zhenguan Xunchen gets old and quits completely, this army must be Fang Er's world, there is no one better than him."

Niu Jinda agrees with this point: "Emperor Taizong praised Fang Er as a 'talent of Zaifu' at the beginning, and he trusted him very much. Such a dandy can only fight hawks and dogs, seek flowers and ask willows... Who would have thought that Fang Er would show his talents as soon as he was in the top position, whether he served in the Ministry of War or the Jingzhao Mansion, he would handle his duties properly and have more energy to innovate. The two yamen have also become the most popular yamen in the imperial court because of Fang Er. Especially the navy, who would have thought that Fang Er, who has experience in waterless warfare, could single-handedly create such an invincible navy that spans the ocean and looks at the world? "

To this day, no matter how stubborn the "Land Warfare" is, they have to admit the strength of the Navy. Just look at this time, the Mutiny of the King of Jin, the Navy first defeated nearly [-] private troops in the south of the Yangtze River in Yanziji, and then went northward along the way. , Even famous generals like Zheng Rentai at the time were beaten to surrender, and then even Keluoyang, Hangu, and Tongguan were invincible.

Cheng Yaojin said: "After the navy captured Tongguan, if the boats and boats were not moored on the Yellow River and the soldiers went south to meet Xue Wanche, but went directly to the city of Chang'an along the Yellow River, Wei River, and Guangtong Canal, who would be able to stop it? From this we can see , Naval divisions across the sea are indeed capable of attacking cities and villages in land battles."

Niu Jinda was terrified, and suddenly remembered something, and quickly got up to look carefully before going to the map. After a long while, he took a breath and said in horror: "Marshal, it's dangerous! Now the entire canal is under the control of the navy. The main force in the south of the Yangtze River can reach Guanzhong continuously at any time, and with its powerful firearms and strong supplies, it is enough to cover the coast of the Wei River under its artillery fire, which will give great support to Chang'an's defense..."

This is only half said, but there is no need to say the other half.

With a highly mobile and powerful army like the Navy, half of Chang'an City is safe. Even if some of the troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong are attached to King Jin and storm Chang'an City, they can only attack Chang'an City in the south. Half of Chang'an, otherwise, once it gets close to the Wei River, the navy can bombard it on the river.

Even the most powerful army at present can only be wiped out under the full-scale bombardment of the navy...

However, until now, everyone has ignored the existence of the navy, and was confused by Liu Rengui leading the sailors to land on the boat.

As long as the main force of the navy from the south of the Yangtze River arrives, at least it can ensure that the emperor remains invincible, and in the most dangerous situation, he can also retreat from the Xuanwu Gate. After that, no matter whether he goes down the Wei River or crosses the Wei River to the west, who can stop it? live?

Cheng Yaojin, however, sat firmly and drank tea slowly: "So I said that the improvement of Fang Er's tea drinking method is his greatest achievement. Drinking tea requires meditation and careful consideration, carefully savoring the tea. Forget about it, and throw all the troubles and trivialities out of your mind, you are too poor in understanding, too low in realm, you screamed, you were surprised, you didn't understand the essence of it at all."

Niu Jinda: "..."

Damn!You old boy now led us to seek refuge with the King of Jin, and then found that the emperor was invincible. If you think about it, even if the King of Jin invaded Chang'an and forced the emperor to abandon the city and flee, the world will be divided from now on, and the two emperors will separate To rule the roost and divide the land to rule, if the king of Jin is a little careless, the situation will be destroyed. Wouldn't we all be beheaded and wiped out?
He is still talking about the way of drinking tea here... It's just inexplicable.

Angrily, he returned to his seat and sat down, neither drinking tea nor speaking, just staring and walking along Cheng Yaojin, waiting for him to clarify his doubts.

Cheng bit Jin's mouth, put down his teacup, frowned and said displeasedly: "We have been in robes for many years, I don't know how many times we have been born and died, and you still don't know my temper that I never want to suffer? I didn't want to say that, but you Stupid, confused, and panicked, I have no choice but to reassure you... The navy's artillery can't hit the Xuanwu Gate, so the emperor can't withdraw from the Xuanwu Gate, win or lose, live or die, he can only stay in the Taiji Palace .”

"Whoever can control the Taiji Palace will win the final victory."

*****
Yu Chigong led the army to Shenheyuan, and just set up the camp, he received a report from the scouts, saying that Liu Yanjing led [-] troops straight to Shenheyuan, and hurriedly asked the army to light a fire to make food, and wait for the army to eat. Rest, lest you have to fight to the death with the enemy when your strength is exhausted from the long journey.

However, in the middle of the night, after learning that Liu Yanjing stationed troops in Fengqiyuan, he stopped. Instead of launching a surprise attack when the right guard was tired and tired, he built a camp on the spot in Fengqiyuan, and set up a defensive position along the southern edge of Fengqiyuan...

The lights in the camp were brightly lit, and Yuchi Gong was handling official documents at his desk. Su Jia, who was sitting on the side of the desk, praised: "The so-called time creates heroes. I have never heard of it, and I am unknown, but now I am able to restrain my arrogance and impetuosity when I am suddenly in charge of an army.

"A person?"

Yu Chigong put down his pen, took a sip of the strong tea in his cup, snorted and said in disdain: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there has never been a static art of war. A big defeat. It is good to fight steadily and steadily, but letting the opportunity of war disappear, it might not be that there is no enterprising spirit."

Ask Su Jia to refill the cup: "This kid has probably read a few books on the art of war and thinks he has mastered the profound meaning of the books of war. He can be invincible by things like 'waiting for work with ease' and 'fighting steadily'. This time, let him It’s a big loss and a long memory. Pass the order, and after an hour, the whole army will pull out the camp and rush to Fengqiyuan overnight. After dawn, I will stand on the round mound and look at the Mingde Gate!”

"Here!"

Su Jia quickly responded, and after filling the teacup with water, he left the tent and sent an order to the army.

Yuchi Gong leisurely took a sip of water, let out a breath while sitting on the stool, and turned his head to look out the window at the dense night.

It is indeed a good way to "wait for work with ease", but it must face a tired army. The Right Waiting Guard is a first-class strong army among the sixteen guards. After being stationed for many days, the morale of the army is extremely stable.

Could it be that a tough battle with Liang Jianfang after rushing from Bailuyuan to this place was enough to exhaust the right guard and demoralize him?
Impossible.

Therefore, Liu Yanjing's seemingly safe approach is actually tantamount to missing a good opportunity. It is better to take advantage of the right guard's unsteady foothold to make a surprise attack. At any rate, it can also cause damage to the right guard. Now the soldiers are stationed in Feng Qiyuan and wait for the right guard to attack. Come on, just stupid.

A child of that generation, sitting in a well and looking at the sky, grew up in a favorable environment and had never participated in several wars since the founding of the country. He was ignorant of the combat power of the Sixteen Guards. Today, let him experience the tenacity of the powerful army that was able to conquer Liaodong and destroy Goguryeo. , powerful.

It's right to treat work with leisure, but I don't know who is "easy" and who is "lao"...
