Northern Dynasties

Chapter 473
Wang Sizheng should be no stranger to anyone who knows or is only slightly interested in the history of the Later Three Kingdoms.

Because he is indeed very tough, the first tower defense master of the Three Kingdoms, the builder of Gao Huan Happy City.Especially in the case of the town soldiers occupying the absolute mainstream in the north, the existence of Wang Sizheng is a clear stream.

Wang Sizheng was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. In his early years, he followed Wang Yuanhao from Beihai to enter Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion. Same back to customs.

Wang Sizheng leading troops to Henan is definitely a big news for the Western Wei Dynasty.Some inside and outside the Taiwan government were happy about this, and some were angry, but no matter whether their emotions were happy or angry, there was a sense of astonishment in general.

Because this is a military action that was executed first and played later, and was not discussed and authorized by the Taiwan government. All its rationale lies in Hou Jing's point of view of severing and dedicating four cities, and vying for opportunities.

As for whether Hou Jing really gave up, Eastern Wei's reaction to this, especially whether the four cities can be occupied for a long time, what strategic and tactical value they have for Western Wei, and whether the situation in the country supports this military action, all of them have to be determined. There is no overall consideration.

Sometimes, reckless behavior can bring about a beautiful result, and such a move can also be called a stroke of genius.

As for whether Wang Sizheng's behavior can be called a stroke of genius, it is still waiting for the test of time, but the impact on the present is to force the Huazhou Bafu to give up the previous wait-and-see attitude and the right to choose tactics.

Unless Yuwentai abandons Wang Sizheng and Jingzhou's more than [-] cavalry at the moment, and still bases his plans on the established position of the Overlord's Mansion, otherwise, the power currently held by the Overlord's Mansion is far from enough to open up two battlefields of.

Li Tai naturally knew that there would be such a change, so he didn't take much notice of the ideas of the Yuwen family's uncles and nephews against Heyang and even Yecheng, because as long as Wang Sizheng enters the scene, the chaos in Henan will be a quagmire. Well, no matter if it is Jinshan, it is difficult for the Western Wei Dynasty to stand aside, and there is no extra power to conceive and implement other routes.

For Wang Sizheng, Li Tai personally admired him very much emotionally, but when it came to sending troops to Henan, he felt that Wang Sizheng was a little irrational and unclear.Especially now that he has also become a relatively important member of the current situation, he feels that this move is reckless.

Of course, this is also related to Wang Sizheng's special status and situation in the Western Wei Dynasty. He was one of the representatives of the Luoyang court who followed Xiaowu into the pass, and he was once a student of Emperor Xiaowu's hidden residence. Ann, and then there was a scene of taking a oath to show loyalty.

This story firstly shows that Wang Sizheng has superb gambling skills and is called the God of Gamblers, and the second is that his situation at that time was indeed so dangerous that he would not have a future without such a gamble.

After all, no matter how eager for progress and how loyal you are to the boss, you can’t hold a pair of dice in your hand and commit suicide if you can’t roll a leopard.

Even the audience of Wang Sizheng's performance was not only Yu Wentai, but also the generals of Beizhen.These guys may not be angry that Wang Sizheng is in a high position, and one day he got drunk and slapped his head and remembered that there is still a remnant of filial piety here, I have to eradicate the grass for Daxingtai!

This time, the gamble improved the situation of Wang Sizheng, who was surrounded by wolves, but it would be impossible to say that Yuwen Taina was his confidant.What really allowed Wang Sizheng to settle down was his outstanding military talent.

There are many Luoyang figures who followed Xiaowu to move westward, but Wang Sizheng is the only one who has been active in the front line against the Eastern Wei Dynasty and has outstanding military exploits.Even if Yu Wentai couldn't trust him with his confidants, he wasn't rich enough to let such a great talent go unused, let alone ignore Wang Sizheng's internal and external reputation.

If you want to make an analogy, Wang Sizheng is slightly similar to Murong Shaozong of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. They are both the confidantes of the leaders of the previous generation, and they have established themselves in the new generation of tyrants by virtue of their talents, reputation and accumulated connections.

Regarding Wang Sizheng's military entry into Henan this time, regardless of some seemingly vague political intentions, from Wang Sizheng's personal emotional standpoint, Li Tai thinks that in Wang Sizheng's view, the overlord government has not done enough for him. Talent, never gave him a position and opportunity to give full play to his talents.

I haven't used my strength yet, and the enemy will die first.Since the Overlord Mansion refuses to give me such an opportunity due to various considerations, of course I have to fight for it myself.Now an excellent opportunity allows me to present myself comprehensively, so what are you waiting for?
But no matter what the real reason is, things have evolved into this way, and we must face it positively.

At the latest military meeting in the Ba Mansion, the important generals of the Chinese and foreign armies gathered together, and Daxingtai Yu Wentai sitting at the top of the hall looked dignified and solemn, showing no obvious signs of happiness or anger.

Today's meeting is no longer about whether the Bafu should send troops to Henan, but the scale of sending troops, the generals who command the army, the route of the march, and the goals that need to be achieved.

In any case, Wang Sizheng's dispatch of troops this time finally broke the deadlock and made a big step forward in the top decision-making process of the Overlord's Mansion. The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is that this kind of progress is passive.

But if it is said that Yu Wentai has no covetous desire for the land of Henan, it is of course wrong.

The reason why he was hesitant before was more or less because he had the idea of ​​"this is what I can have?", and in comparison, the tactical concept on the front line of Heyang is more valuable to the Western Wei Dynasty, but it is not something that has already been put on the lips. Fat meat is not willing to eat.

Among the several issues, the first to be determined was the supreme commander of this military operation. The undisputed Li Bi was elected with a high number of votes.

Since Li Bi was promoted to Taiwei, he has been in charge of the construction of the Bafu army. He enjoys a very high prestige among the Chinese and foreign armies, and his own military quality is second to none.The situation in Henan this time is complicated, and it is very likely that you will encounter difficult and hard battles. The requirements for the general's personal ability and prestige are naturally extremely high.

As for the deputy future assistant to Li Bi, it was Zhao Gui who was directly proposed by Daxingtai.Zhao Gui is a person with rich experience in the army and profound qualifications. Of course, the most important thing is that he has won the trust of Daxingtai, and now he is also serving as a lieutenant in the imperial history, accompanying the army to supervise the command and camp law.

The two chief generals Li Bi and Zhao Gui led the army of the Bafu to Yingchuan, and cooperated with Wang Sizheng's Jingzhou army who was one step ahead.As for the land of the six prefectures that Hou Jing had promised before, Yu Wentai did not ignore them, and ordered several Hui, Liang Chun and other generals to follow the Chinese army, and guard Hou Jing's consecrated prefectures and counties along the way.

At the same time, Yu Jin led a team to Tongguan to ensure that even if the war in Henan was unfavorable, it would not affect the unrest in Kansai.

After making arrangements for the front and back and the commanders-in-chief of all the troops, the next step is to choose the Chinese military governor.

In this regard, it is natural to listen to the opinions of the two commanders of the Chinese army. After all, once the army is dispatched, the two chief generals will be the highest commanders in the army. Of course, they must choose the generals who can fully implement their intentions and cooperate with each other.

After coming to this topic, without waiting for others to open their mouths, Zhao Gui stood up and spoke first: "Xihe Lord Li Dadu is a young man with both wisdom and courage in the middle of the country, and he also went out to suppress the bandit nest in Jinyang last year. It is powerful and shocking to the enemy. Now that the army is rushing to Henan, it will fight frequently with the bandits from the east. Governor Li is brave and tenacious. He is indeed the choice of the vanguard general. The bandits and bandits fight, and they are timid before fighting..."

While expressing his opinions loudly, Zhao Gui gave Li Tai a look of admiration, with a magnanimous look of admiring the virtuous but not avoiding the enmity.

Following Zhao Gui's voice, other generals nodded and agreed that Li Tai was indeed suitable to be the vanguard of the army.

Hearing the praises from the generals, Li Tai also felt that he is highly respected and treated in the country today. Without him as the leader, no one would dare to fight against the Eastern Wei Dynasty. This is really fucking!Why don't you think about me when something good happens?

After hearing the voices of the generals, Yu Wentai looked at Li Tai with a smile and said, "Unexpectedly, the young boy is so appreciated by others, the crowd scrambles to retreat, and the generals are happy to give away their achievements. The vanguard of the teacher is the sharp arrow of the country, and he must win it." Go forward bravely and build courage for the three armies. Although the veterans of the army and horses do not dare to be confident that they will win, can Li Shizhong feel responsible? It is not a crime to be incapable of self-control. Remember not to let our army's morale be demoralized for a while!"

"I have been honored by the Lord for a long time, and I often want to sacrifice my heart and courage to make sacrifices. Fortunately, today, the kings appreciate and raise my ministers as the vanguard of the teacher. I am so honored and favored, how dare I refuse. I only ask the Lord to give you a talisman. If you don’t get what you do, you won’t return, please be patient and wait for the former teacher to return triumphantly!”

Li Tai knows that being a striker has to bear more risks, but at this point, there is no room for refusal, not to mention that there is no reward without risk, and the status and resources he has today are not just for money. Facing this new appointment and challenge, I was a little excited in my heart, quite eager to try, and hurriedly got up to express my opinion.

"Okay, okay, with such a hero, why worry about not being successful! Take Boshan as the vanguard of the teacher, and take Henan directly for me, and beat the bandits hard!"

When Yu Wentai heard this answer, he also laughed and cheered, and did not hesitate to praise him.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the generals also called for battle one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall was enthusiastic and exciting, which was moving.

Under such a lively atmosphere, the personnel team for this trip to Henan was basically completed.

Li Tai's ability to obtain an important position as a pioneer in the overlord's mansion of veteran general Ru Lin, of course, has a lot to do with his achievements in Jinyang not long ago. While everyone is envious, they probably also want to see what kind of person he is. It's not really expected, but I was lucky and happened to catch up once.

But Li Tai didn't care too much about it. If someone has the foresight and is lucky, he can catch up more than once.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. He doesn't even care much about Zhao Gui's intentions in recommending him. He is already looking forward to what will happen when he meets Hou Jing, the devil in disguise.

After this pre-war meeting was over, he still approached Jihui immediately, and asked in a deep voice, "Your envoy really doesn't want to withdraw from this dispatch?"

A few Hui raised his hand and scratched the thick beard on the side of his face, and then sighed: "I used to come all the way south from Wuchuan, and I have seen many lives and deaths, and I dare not say that I am not afraid of death. But I also understand that life and death have a destiny." , I am afraid that there will be no deflection due to human will.

The old man has many companions who are more heroic and stronger than me, but they died in the end, and did not wait for the day when they became famous.Compared with these people, I already have no regrets, but if I dare not do things because of fear of accidents, what good is it even if I steal my years?
Boshan, you don't need to persuade me anymore, it's best if nothing happens on this trip, if something unexpected happens, Bodhidharma has you to take care of him, so I don't have to worry about him.If the sky refuses to take a holiday, I would rather die in the middle of the matter than hide from the matter! "

In order to dissuade Dou Hui from going out and let him stay in Huazhou, Li Tai did not hesitate to use Fang Shixuan's theory and told him that fleeting years are not good, but he could not help but sigh secretly when he heard that Dou Hui was still unmoved by this.

To be honest, he was not sure whether Ruohui would avoid the outbreak of the disease if he stayed in Huazhou, but he was admirable when he heard Ruohui's open-minded attitude and said: "I am worrying and worrying for nothing. Yu Huai's ugliness made Jun laugh.

Since returning to Kansai, the envoy has cared for me a lot, and I am deeply grateful for his kindness and kindness. I will never forget that Bodhidharma is my close relative and brother!Now we are busy with our own affairs, so we don't have time to talk in detail. We only hope that we will meet here in the future, and we will all praise our meritorious deeds, so please cherish them! "

Speaking of this, he bowed to some Huishen, and several Huis didn't dodge after seeing this, and after accepting it, he said with a smile: "The lost boy who was taken in back then is now able to gallop ahead of the army. The vision of knowing people and judging others is really not bad.

If it weren't for the fact that the woman in the household is really not suitable for her age, how could your father-in-law take this good match and show it off in front of others?No more stories to tell, you must remember to give yourself first and then seek merit in this journey.The former made a surprise attack on Jinyang, the situation is different from today after all, the old general among the thieves is so cunning and vicious, and when we meet in power, we must look forward to it..."

Several Hui took Li Tai's arm, and while going to the Taifu, he earnestly told him what he needed to pay attention to when he encountered the Eastern Wei army. The serious expression and the care contained in the words also made Li Tai feel deeply. endlessly.

In this way, they left the Taifu and walked outside the city gate. They bid farewell to each other, each got on their horses and rushed to the military mansion under their jurisdiction to prepare for sending troops.

When Li Tai returned to the Houjun Mansion, all the governors and generals in the mansion also returned one after another. Just looking at their nervous and dignified or excited expressions, it can be seen that they have heard about what will happen next.

Li Tai entered the hall and sat down, looked down at the crowd, and said with a confident and proud expression: "Today, the Taiwan government is discussing things, and thanks to Daxingtai's appreciation, I have given me the previous merits. Do you dare to follow me to the enemy's territory?" , Take credit and return it?"

"The last general is willing to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds from the commander-in-chief, boasting of martial arts and triumph!"

Except for a few generals here, most of the rest are former students of Li Tai's disciples. After hearing this, they all crossed their hands and shouted in response.

Even Hou Zhi and other people who were not from Li Tai's old army were affected by this, and each responded accordingly, looking forward to the next march and battle.
