Chapter 923 Don’t attack the Tangtang Formation
Under Shang Ruyi’s worried instructions and reluctant eyes, Yu Wenye stood up and followed Eunuch Yu out of the Qianqiu Palace. The cold wind blowing in front of him made his thoughts clearer. A few points.
As he walked forward, he asked: "Who reported the news?"
Eunuch Yu held the fly whisk in one hand, walked forward without squinting, and said softly: " How could His Highness the King of Qin not know? The news from the Ministry of War was naturally reported to him by the Minister of War. "
"The prince is here too"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about state affairs, so he naturally pays attention to everything."
Yu Wenye nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch."
He didn't ask any more questions, and Eunuch Yu was quiet. The people walked to Xuanzheng Hall in silence. The door of the hall was open here. As soon as I got closer, I saw Yu Wenxin and Dong Yue standing in the center of the hall. Lu Qianfeng, who had just met him, was standing on the side of the hall, with his head lowered and his hands lowered. He probably hadn't had a chance to speak yet. say.
Of course, even if he didn't speak, the atmosphere in the entire hall was already depressing enough.
After Yu Wenye walked in, he immediately knelt down and bowed to Yu Wenyuan: "My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Yu Wenyuan's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't hide the anger on his face. His brows were almost knitted together, but when he looked at Yu Wenye, he still took a deep breath, tried to slow down his tone and said: "You know, I let you Why did you come here? "
Yu Wenye glanced sideways at Dong Yue, and then said: "Dong Shangshu is here. Could it be that there is a battle report from the front?"
Yu Wenyuan said: "At this time, you I know how to look at people.”
This sentence made Yu Wenye's heart sink even more, but he did not continue. He only said: "I wonder if my third brother will achieve a complete victory when he goes to war this time."
Yu Wenyuan's eyes became more gloomy. , Dong Yue took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, King Qin, King Qi's attack on Luoyang was not successful. He lost nearly half of his 50,000 troops. Now he can only retreat to Cijian and hold on. It is really not a complete victory."
When Yu Wenye heard this, he immediately frowned: "How could this happen?"
Yu Wenyuan said: "Who are you asking about this? To Dong Shangshu, or to me?"
Yu Wenye said immediately: "I just don't understand. I just heard a few days ago that my third brother successfully captured Cijian Town. This place is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang City, and It is an important town on the Jianhe River. Occupying this place and conquering Luoyang has a slight chance of winning, but why -"
Yu Wenyuan said coldly: "Yes, but what you should ask is, his men What have you done?”
Yu Wenye’s heart was clear at this moment, but when he raised his head, his expression was still blank. Yu Wenzuo on the side took a step forward and said softly: "My second brother still doesn't know that Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng, who is the deputy general manager of the march, did not join forces with the King of Qi as planned, but instead attacked Luoyang before the King of Qi. When he was in the city, he stuck to Cijian and refused to leave, which led to the final defeat of King Qi. ”
Yu Wenye took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard Yu Wenyuan say coldly: "You know how to read people."
"..."
"Before, it was you Highly recommended Shen Tutai, I suspect, was appointed as the deputy general manager of the expedition, but he actually confronted the King of Qi in front of the battle, causing the King of Qi to be defeated and almost captured. "
Yu Wen. He said suspiciously: "Father, my second brother recommended Shen Tutai for a reason. After all, Shen Tutai once - also had a reputation far and wide, and was good at fighting."
When he heard the word "once", Yu Wenyuan's His eyes immediately sharpened: "Yes, I almost forgot that he once fell into the trap of becoming a bandit. He also followed Xiao Yuansui and his gang in Wanggang Village to rebel against the imperial court and caused trouble for several years."
"..."
"Did he do these things without telling you anything?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Wenye immediately heard someone in the hall gasp. Air conditioning. He lowered his head and looked at Lu Qianfeng who was standing behind him. He was the only one in the entire hall who had nothing to do with this matter. But because he came at the right time, he was forced to listen. At this time, he buried his head deeper, not only not moving His voice, appearance, and even his breathing were softer, as if he was afraid that someone would notice him.
Yu Wenye withdrew his gaze and said solemnly: "No."
"..."
"But I would like to ask, was the third brother just defeated by the defenders of Luoyang City? There was news before that the defenders of Luoyang City were less than 30,000. Since the third brother was the leader How could 50,000 people go on an expedition and suffer such a disastrous defeat?”
Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan’s expression turned even darker, but he also understood that his son was well versed in the art of war and the ability to march and form formations. Above all the generals in the court, these side effects and causes and effects naturally could not be hidden from him, so he said: "He was blocked by reinforcements from Dagong Pass and Yique Pass, and encircled and defeated by the Luoyang defenders."
"That's it."
Yu Wenye nodded, thought about it again, and then said: "There is a saying in the art of war. Don't attack a dignified formation without an invitation to upright flags."
< br>
"..."
"Judging from the formation of the defenders at Luoyang Eight Passes, this is a grand formation to invite you to join the game. In this case - Erchen guessed that Shen Tutai and the others The reason why we stick to Cijian is to preserve our strength. After all, the city of Dongdu is strong and cannot be attacked all at once. "
" >
What he said was extremely tactful, and the pause in the middle just hit Yu Wenyuan's heart.
Although he will no longer lead troops on expeditions after he ascends the throne as emperor, the victorious years on the battlefield and the accumulated military experience will not be easily forgotten. Yu Wenyuan understood this situation as soon as he saw it, no matter how Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng In this way, Yu Wencheng's direct attack on Luoyang this time was underestimating the enemy. Even if he was lucky enough to break through the city and capture Luoyang City, there are so many passes around it. If the hundreds of thousands of defenders immediately returned to defend, he would not be able to defend it. Can't hold on for a few days.
But——
Military affairs are one thing, but it is another thing if someone has selfish motives or secretly communicates with the enemy.
The origin of Shen Tutai and the defeat at Cijian have deeply stimulated Yu Wenyuan's increasingly sensitive heart since the Tangquan Palace incident, especially now that Jiang Tao and Liang Youying have kidnapped Pei Xingyuan and escaped from Dasheng. Dynasty, his suspicion of the people in Wanggangzhai deepened.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenyuan sneered: "So, not only should I not punish Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng, but I should also reward them heavily?"
Yu Wenye immediately lowered his head and said: "I don't dare."
Yu Wenyuan said coldly: "You'd better really not dare."
"..."
< br>"Then I also ask you about this matter , what should you do with these two people?"
Yu Wenye raised his head and said solemnly: "I believe that my father cannot deal with Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng no matter what."
Yu Wenyuan's face darkened: "Why?"
