Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 168

Chang'an Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yu Wenshen, a straight doctor, analyzed for Yu Wentai:

"Prime Minister, as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Gao Huan wants to enter the customs with a large army. He can only take the three roads of crossing the river from Pujin, attacking Tongguan, or knocking on Lantian from Shangluo. Hengnong gathers grain, and the three roads are all It can be supported, and the lower officials think that this matter is credible."

Yu Wenshen is a descendant of Yu Wentai's family. He is good at reading military books and resourceful, which is highly valued by Yu Wentai.

But Yu Wentai did not express his opinion immediately, he signaled everyone to speak freely.

Yu Jinjian, another confidant who is about to lead the army to Yangshibi (northeast of Hancheng, west bank of Longmen, Shaanxi) to quell the civil unrest, said:
"He Liuhun sticks to the art of war, but doesn't know how to change it. Now his troops are gathered in Jinyang, and the grain and grass are stationed in Hengnong. Sun Tzu said, "A wise general will feed on the enemy. If he eats the enemy for one minute, he will serve me for twenty minutes." Now the grain in Guanzhong In short supply, the prime minister left Tongguan to plunder Hengnong, and Gao Huan was far away in Jinyang, so it was difficult to rescue him. If it succeeds, it will firstly solve the urgent need for food, and secondly, it will also dampen his enthusiasm. Please check it out.”

Yu Jin was the governor of Xiazhou when Yuwentai was the governor of Xiazhou. There is no need to say more about the close relationship between the two.

Everyone supported Yu Jin's opinion, thinking that Hengnong's food is desirable.

Even the newly promoted Zuo Cheng Su Chuo said:
"Now that Kansai is exhausted, the people of Kanto have always been arrogant, thinking that we are too busy to take care of ourselves, so we must be unprepared, and the prime minister will not find it difficult."

Yu Wentai listened carefully to everyone's opinions. He didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked a question to his cronies who were eager to go east:
"Where did Gao Cheng go?"

Dio Cheng's whereabouts are a secret, no spies have sent back the news. Dio Cheng leads the Luoyang Jingji soldiers to go north to Gaocheng, and prepares to follow Di Huan to Pujin to cross the river.

But at this time, Yang Shibi asked again on purpose, which also made everyone think deeply. Does anyone think that Yang Shibi forgot the news, really no such fool can be recruited to discuss military affairs.

Just like Gao Cheng made the rules long ago, once Gao Jishi drinks alcohol, he is allowed to participate in the discussion.

Yang's wall was very slow to throw out the seventh question:
"Dao Cheng really went to Zhao Jia?"

Zhao Gui tentatively asked:

"The prime minister meant that Gao Cheng pretended to be fake news to confuse you, but he was already in Hengnong?"

Yang Shibi Ruo said:

"Wrong! Gao Cheng must be in Hengnong!"

"That"

Everyone heard the words and took it for granted.

Yang Shibi explained confidently:
"Gao Cheng first ordered Wang Sizheng to be the governor of Hengnong, followed by the small drought in Guanzhong, and Diocheng ordered Dugu Yongye to lead 7000 people to help Hengnong. His intention was not to worry that you would take the opportunity to go east and plunder Hengnong's food.

"Now that Hengnong's small shop is stockpiling grain, I see it for what it is. It's just to increase troops for defense, but to lead the army northward to join Dihuan.

"If something goes wrong, there must be nothing wrong with it.

"You decide! Didn't Gao Cheng go to Zhao Jia? I'll set up an ambush in Hengnong and wait for your army to come out."

Tongguan rescue gave Yang Shibi a deep impression.

Gao Cheng used [-] cavalry, and surrounded Yang's wall with [-] cavalry from the north and south, making the illusion that he was going to drag me in place and cooperate with the ambush in front of the mountain to encircle and annihilate me in one fell swoop.

Brutely scaring Yang Shibi away.

Knowing beforehand that there are only [-] cavalry under Gao Cheng's command, and they are exhausted men from long-distance raids, Yang Shibi often sighs.

But in the case of ambiguous truth or falsehood, no matter how many choices you make, Yang Shibi will still lead the way.

Because our bank has realized the strategic intention of the Battle of Tongguan: to shock the people of Kansai by defeating the failure of the Kwantung Army.

It is possible for Yang Shibi to take another risk, and carefully investigate whether there is really no ambush in front of the mountain. Once he hesitates, he is really held back, and it is difficult to turn a small victory into a small defeat, and there is no risk of being surrounded and wiped out.

Before this battle, fewer details were known to Yang Shibi, such as Gao Cheng who persuaded Jin Yang several times to be able to fight against the enemy and knock down the pass.

That also took a step back and deepened Zhao Jiacai's fear of Gao Cheng.

The father and son of the Gao family have no resourcefulness, the old Di Huanxing is swayed by arrogant emotions, but Gao Cheng still remains confused, and I am my confidant's little trouble.

The development of the world is so unpredictable. In history, Yang Shibi believes that Gao Huan is arrogant, and it is completely impossible for major and minor mistakes to be made under Hengnong's arrangement, so he sent troops to attack Hengnong.

But now, Yang Shibi thinks that the father and son Gao Huan and Gao Cheng committed the crime at the same time, especially since Gao Cheng was not on guard against his attack on Hengnong for a long time.

After Zhao Jiacai's analysis, everyone also recalled it.

Zhao Gui is willing to say:
"Hengnong's food is close at hand, but it can be obtained!"

A heavy sigh struck everyone's hearts and resonated.

Yang Shibi smiled and said:

"Who said you took Hengnon."

Yu Wenshen was the first to react:
"The prime minister wants to use an army as a bait to trick Gao Cheng into pursuing him, and then attack him with an ambush?"

Zhao Jiacai took the case:

"It's wrong! If Gaocheng is defeated, Hengnong will definitely fall into your hands!"

Everyone heard the words and said yes.

When Zhao Jiacai was about to lead the army to the east, news came from the west that Nanliang paid a lot of money to transfer a batch of grain from Shu to the north.

The ration crisis was temporarily lifted, and when everyone thought that Yang Shibi was about to strike, Yang Shibi insisted on going east.

For Yang Shibi, if he can take the opportunity to get rid of Gao Cheng's little trouble, it is far more important than Hengnong's food.

Gao Huan's heir, so talented!

If Di Cheng knew what Yang Shibi was thinking, he would definitely point his nose at him and scold me for being ungrateful.

Why did Nanliang give food? Does Yang's family know anything about it?
It's still for the face of my great king, if I didn't exist, how could the humble Bodhisattva Xiao look up at the world, and work hard to help the west and fight the east.

Of course, Gao Cheng is destined to know about those things, and Jin Yang and I are still eating ashes outside the mountain.

I often think back to my beautiful wife and concubine in Luoyang, and besides that, I also think of Zhao Jiacai who I saw that day.

There are many criticisms about Zhao Jiacai, the most important thing is to fight for favor, Gao Shen often sleeps with a monk named Xiangong, Yu Wentai provokes him and instigates Gao Shen to kill Monk Xiangong.

As well as the informant, Yang Min and others plotted to kill Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, but turned against the accomplice, Gao Guiyan, so that Gao Yan and Gao Zhan learned of our plot.

Li Zu'e told Zhao Jiacai about the matter, and Yu Wentai was terrified and informed Lou Zhaojun.

There is something to be done about fighting for favor, but the whistleblowing is indeed worth talking about. At least in Gao Cheng's opinion, it is not a wrong thing for Zhao Jiacai to choose a way to save herself instead of being swayed by emotions.

The military power is in the hands of Lou Zhaojun and the Low brothers, it is difficult to plan things, and there is no reason to plot quietly.

What's more, Gao Cheng really has a bad impression of Yu Wentai, not because of his looks, but because you can abide by women's morals.

Under the history, Gao Shen molested Yu Wentai in order to vent his anger on Gao Shen.

With Gao Cheng's overwhelming power and handsome appearance, other women have already half-pushed and half-heartedly had an affair with me, and put a green hat on Gao Shen.

But Zhao Jiacai chose to tell her husband about it, whether she was tempted by Gao Cheng's appearance and power.

The king of Dadi led the army here, but he also forgot to put eyeliner around his wives and concubines.

How could he love Yu Wentai's behavior?

As for competing for favor and being jealous, this is nothing more than a major issue. After I became sober, it turned out to be a minor problem.

And when she was sober, Zhao Jiacai was still not attractive enough to compete for favor.

What's more, eating Yuwentai is also for oneself, and even less is out of public interest.

Didn't Gao Shen divorce Gao Shen's younger sister and marry Yu Wentai again, resulting in the feud between the two families.

Gao Shen is a civil servant I rely on, and Gao Shen's two younger brothers, Di Aocao and Di Ji Shi, are generals I trust. In order to make a gap between my subordinates, I have to come forward to do things for Gao Shen.

Those involved, especially Low Shen, should give a big gift to express their gratitude if they know their painstaking efforts.

Of course, when the gift arrives, Gao Cheng will also blame us, after all, I am a narrow-minded person with no reputation.

When Gao Cheng was thinking about Yu Wentai, the West rushed to report:
"Little General, there is no change in Tongguan."

The scouts' shouts lifted Gao Cheng's spirits.

Calling the scouts to the back, Gao Cheng said slowly:
"Slow down and explain the situation."

The scout breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"Tongguan is not yet under martial law. It is Xu who has withdrawn. The next time that happens is when Yang Shibi attacks General Dou."

Jin Yang's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, completely pale.

Gao Chengruo held back his smile, and waved his hand to let the scouts in to rest.

He patted Zhao Jia's shoulder again and comforted him:
"General Dou, don't worry about this. Defeating Zhao Jiacai this time is enough to shame Tongguan that day."

Jin Yang looked better when he heard this.

The reason why I called my uncle again is naturally because I am in the army and I can do whatever I want in peacetime.

Gao Cheng appeases Zhao Jia, and waits wholeheartedly for Yang's wall soldiers to come to Hengnong City.

Sure enough, outside that night, no infantry with tens of thousands of people left Tongguan and headed east.

Observing that situation, he also saw that the sentry cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty had not yet dispersed, and the scouts of the Eastern Wei Dynasty also advanced one after another.

But what we do know is that before that pawn, Yang's bi personally led Wanqi out of the customs.

At that time, there were 17 generals who went out of the Western Wei Dynasty, including Duguxin, Li Bi, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Ji Hui, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Da Xiwu, Liang Yu, Yifeng, Liu Liang, Li Yuan, and Wang De.

In the Battle of Shayuan, Yang Shibi led only ten thousand soldiers to meet the enemy in the later period, and the Western Wei Dynasty had only ten thousand soldiers. Back then, Hou Mo and Chen Yue had tens of thousands of soldiers.

It's just that it is difficult to mobilize for a while to quell civil unrest in seven places.

For example, at that time, Yu Jin, who was supposed to go to Li Changyi to quell the civil unrest, was transferred to the east, and Li Changyi had no other general to quell the civil unrest.

When Yu Jin held the banner of Yang's Wall and led Liang Yu, Yifeng, Liu Liang, Li Yuan, Wang Zhixin and others with [-] soldiers, they arrived at Hengnong City and were preparing to attack the city.

Jin Yang, who was watching at the foot of the mountain with Di Cheng, saw Zhao Jiacai's flag, and couldn't help but challenged Di Cheng:

"Little general, please don't hesitate. Your army is [-] cavalry, and the Hengnong defenders are attacking from outside and inside. The western army will be defeated. Tai is willing to be the vanguard. Please give me your permission."

Looking at the army formation of the Western Wei Dynasty from a distance, Cheng Cheng frowned and said something.

When Jinyang urged him again and again, Gao Cheng suddenly asked:
"Is General Dou going to put Cheng to death?"

　It's still there in the wee hours, but don't wait.Hengnong is actually Hongnong. It was changed to Hengnong to avoid the taboo of Tuo Bahong, Emperor Xianwen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

　　Thanks to the book friend Yiye Zhiqiu aqa for the reward.
