Northern Dynasties

Chapter 506
Outside the city of Yingchuan, there are ravines and ravines, and there are traces of the army's crossing everywhere, and various camps for defense can be seen everywhere.

The Weishui River, which originally ran north-south, turned to flow east-west when it passed through here. The city is located on the plains on the south bank of the river. The scale is not large, and the circumference of the city is only about seven or eight miles.

From the point of view of the living conditions alone, Changshe City can be said to be rich in water and grass, comfortable and livable, but from the military point of view such as city defense, it is a flat river with no danger to defend.Even the city itself is not famous for its grandeur, and perhaps its military use was not considered too much from the beginning of the city's construction.

Li Tai knew how the city would be devastated in the future, so he was also very curious about what Wang Sizheng, the person involved, was thinking at the moment.

When the group of them stopped at a horizontal ditch in the north of Changshe City, waiting for Hou Jing to come out of the city to meet him, Li Tai pointed to the city in the south and said: "The last general entered Henan, and the cities and garrisons he saw along the way seemed to be completely different. It is called magnificent.

Take Changshe City in front of us as an example. The city is located in the plains, and there are no ditches or ridges around it.The city is dangerous and has nothing to rely on. It is really something that military strategists do not want to take. The old soldier of Hou Jingbei town is a man who knows how to fight. Why not go based on this? "

"In ancient times, the site selection of any city set up is nothing more than materials, situation, convenience, and needs. It is only the place where it lives, and the two ways of living people. If it is against survival, although the peaks of thousands of feet are not as good as the flat ground. Hirao, Henan There is already a loss of ground, and the defense is not about what can be defended, but about what must be defended!"

When it comes to city defense, Wang Sizheng is a master-level figure. He is riding on a horse, with a whip in his hand, heading straight to the south of the city, and he continued: "There is no place here to take advantage of. The situation is based on human feelings. Human feelings If you get what you want, you can keep it, but if you lose your hope, you can't keep it.

What is human desire?If you stick to the old ways and don't make any changes, then the human feelings will be strong, the will will be united, and it will be stronger than earth and rock.On the contrary, if you blindly innovate and innovate, you will have perverse interests and impetuous human feelings. Although there are few people, they will be vulnerable.Hou Jing guards this old city, and the soldiers can still fight, but if they leave this place and don't go, the hearts of the people will not be far away. "

Li Tai originally wanted to use this topic to find out Wang Sizheng's true intentions and thoughts, but when he got such an answer that sounded a bit mysterious, he was a little confused for a while: I don't read much, so don't lie to me!
Wang Sizheng’s theory sounds a bit bewildered at first, but when you think about it, it actually emphasizes governing the army and mind, strengthening psychological construction through people’s behavior and habits, emphasizing people’s adaptation and dependence on unchanging inertia, and reducing external variables. feelings and expectations.

But this is obviously not the answer Li Tai wants. Although he admires Wang Sizheng's ability to defend the city, he also understands that people have their own strengths, and he doesn't feel that he urgently needs to strengthen his ability in this area. If possible, He still wants to be as offensive as possible.

After all, among all the generals in the Western Wei Dynasty, he now has the number of elite cavalry that is second to none, even compared with those noble generals in Jinyang. Take advantage of it.

So he asked again: "If the place is changed, the Duke of Taiyuan leads the people to guard the city and the army of eastern thieves comes to attack. Why does the Duke of Taiyuan refuse?"

After Wang Sizheng heard this question, his expression became serious. He didn't think this question was meaningless, but thought about it seriously.

After all, they came here this time to urge Hou Jing to fulfill his promise and give up Changshe City as soon as possible.When Hou Jing withdrew, the city naturally belonged to Wang Sizheng, and the defensive pressure from the Eastern Wei Dynasty should naturally be borne by him.

After Li Tai asked this question, he kept observing Wang Sizheng, and Wang Sizheng rode his horse around the distant Changshe City to observe carefully, and he was not in a hurry to answer Li Tai's question. Obviously, this also required careful consideration for him and could not Make a decision with a slap on the head.

Wang Sizheng hadn't thought about it clearly yet, there was already a group of people galloping out of Changshe City opposite, and coming directly here, it should be Hou Jing and his party.

Seeing this scene, Wang Sizheng put away his thoughts, raised his hand and ordered the attendants to set up the tent on the side of the horizontal ditch, and then called Li Tai to join the tent and sit temporarily, waiting for Hou Jing's arrival.

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes became clear from far to near. Li Tai really wanted to get up and go out to see what kind of demeanor Hou Jing, the devil in the world, was in advance, but seeing that Wang Sizheng couldn't sit still, he could only be patient. Continue to sit on the side.

"Haha, Hou is late, and the king has been waiting for a long time!"

Not long after, a loud smoky voice sounded from outside the tent. Li Tai raised his eyes and saw a red-faced bearded man of medium build and tall and low shoulders walking slowly surrounded by soldiers. , only to find that it is not high and low shoulders but long and short feet, but the proportion of the upper and lower body is not coordinated, which makes the lower limbs not conspicuous enough. This person must be Hou Jing.

He is a superficial person, and it is inevitable that he judges people by their appearance. When he felt that he was not as famous as meeting him, Hou Jing had already walked to the center of the tent. Seeing that Wang Sizheng still had no intention of getting up to greet him, he paused. At the same time, his gaze fell on Li Tai who was sitting beside Wang Sizheng, his face darkened suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Tai and said angrily: "I will discuss important matters with the king and envoy, and drive out all the idlers and others." Off the account!"

He hadn't finished speaking here, and then several powerful soldiers stepped forward, their heads held high and their chests held high, ready to throw Li Taicha out.

Seeing Hou Jing spilling the anger caused by Wang Sizheng's arrogance on himself, Li Tai couldn't help feeling speechless. He turned his head and glanced at Wang Sizheng. Then he slashed at the wooden table in front of him with his saber, and shouted angrily, "If the king waits for a long time, it's not just me!" Self-destructive preface? If this trip is to sacrifice the city, I will wait for it, if not, go quickly and don’t stay, return to the city to die!"

Hou Jing was naturally displeased because of Wang Sizheng's arrogant attitude. At the same time, he saw that this handsome and eye-catching young general who had no winks was extremely displeasing to his eyes, but he did not expect that this young general was even more irritable than him. When he was about to draw a knife to kill him, his face turned livid in an instant.

However, before Hou Jing could attack, Wang Sizheng stood up abruptly, pointed at Li Tai, and shouted angrily, "Li Boshan, you are presumptuous! Don't think that you have defeated the enemy in a row, and Xingonghe Bridge will be unstoppable. If you are so arrogant and rude, I will immediately take your power and send you back to the country!"

This this……

Seeing Wang Sizheng looking at him with a grumpy and angry face, Li Tai couldn't react for a while. Looking at his expression and tone, he seriously suspected that this guy had accumulated his previous anger until now, but he quickly understood that Wang Sizheng was I want him to continue acting red-faced.

So he also stood up, glared at Wang Sizheng tit-for-tat and shouted: "The final general has his own place to be ordered, so don't worry about the Taiyuan public's admonition! Today, I am ordered by Daxingtai to take over Changshe City. The city cannot be left here for a day, and I will never leave here for a day. Jing! If the Duke of Taiyuan wants to retaliate against his personal anger, the last general is by no means a submissive person, but I want to try whether I am strong and strong or the authority of Taiyuan is strong!"

"You, you... Wang Shijun, this is?"

Hou Jing was originally resentful because Li Tai pointed his nose and scolded him, but before he had time to get angry, he saw that the other party had already started arguing, and a wave of anger accumulated between his chest and abdomen, and soon turned into a full-bodied anger. Puzzled, he stared at Wang Sizheng and asked questions.

After Wang Sizheng heard the words, he first glanced at Hou Jing, but when he glanced at Li Tai from the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "It's hard for Li Zi to join in the conspiracy! Daxingtai sent you to help, obviously because he didn't want me to do something. , and because of the new breakthrough in the river bridge, this strong man is used to cause trouble!"

Li Tai also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Although they were acting together, he always felt that Wang Sizheng seemed to be acting a little fake and bringing emotions.

Naturally, he was not to be outdone, he raised his hand and forcibly drew back the saber on the wooden case, and then said with a sneer: "Since the last general used his affairs, he has never avoided the old senior. Taiyuan Gong is jealous of the lack of talented people, it is really ridiculous.

In just this short period of time, I first defeated Gao Yue, She Digan, Hu Lujin, and Xue Guyan, all of whom were fierce and stubborn among thieves.How can you be afraid of mere Hou Jing?Seeing life and death directly under the knife, there is no need to show off your old age!If I lose, my skills are inferior to others, if the thief loses, I will seek my own death! "

Speaking of this, he put his saber back into its sheath, turned his head to look at Hou Jing who was standing aside, his face had become very ugly, and said: "Old dog who lost his voice, no one cares about him. If you lose your mind, life is better than death!" I Jing Hou was fierce and tenacious in the past, and today I am fortunate to be ordered to come south. Knowing that you may not fulfill the previous agreement and hand over the head office, I will meet with you to fight this city to the death, and each will compete for it with bravery. Make the world laugh!"

Hou Jing is still a little out of shape at the moment, but he has already vaguely understood that he is also not a kind person who accepts everything. Dang Li's face darkened, and he pointed at Li Tai and said angrily: "Zhu Zi is eager to seek death, why should I?" Give it to me!"

While speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Sizheng and said coldly: "I have no intention of intervening in your country's personnel affairs, but if you invite me here today just to watch this military scene, Wang Shijun thinks that I have nothing to do? No matter who dares to invade my city , I will lead my troops to attack them, and I will never die!"

Obviously, Hou Jing felt that these two people were acting in front of him, and he had used such a trick many times, so naturally he would not be intimidated casually.How can it be such a trifling matter when it concerns a country's military and political plans.

After Wang Sizheng heard this, the expression on his face fluctuated, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes moved back and forth on Hou Jing and Li Tai. After a while, he suddenly let out a mouthful of turbid air, as if all the energy in his body had been released. , sat back in his seat with a slumped face, waved his hands and said to Li Tai: "Li Boshan, go ahead, I won't bother you about what you want to do, don't bother me whether it's life or death."

Li Tai knew that this was the critical moment to test his acting skills. If he was just blindly arrogant and unruly, he might not arouse Hou Jing's vigilance and attention, so he sneered at Wang Sizheng again: "Taiyuan Duke University doesn't have to do it because I am young." And I looked down upon it, thinking that I was only greedy for the merits of Heyang and had no intention of Henan, but in fact the one who was really greedy for merits was Duke Taiyuan himself.

If you can not be tempted by it and stick to Jingzhou, waiting for the southern army to enter Xuanhu and the east to block it, then Hou Jing will be exposed to the blade of the eastern bandit army.What the southerners are greedy for is Henan, how can it be a scene?When the two of them hold Yingchuan, our army will go out of western Henan, and the southerners will enter Huaibei..."

"shut up!"

Hou Jing originally had a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but when he heard this, his expression changed suddenly, he stopped Li Tai from continuing, then glared at him again and said in a deep voice: "Who is this kid? "

　Sorry for the lateness, the scene of meeting Hou Jing is not very easy to write, I changed several modes to write this now, let’s watch it first. . .Write more tomorrow. . .
