Chapter 3516 Send troops again
Changsun Wuji pondered for a long time, beckoned Hou Mo Chen Lin, who was standing on one side, to come to his eyes, and ordered: "Quickly gather 30,000 troops, go outside Xuanwu Gate, and raid the Youtunwei camp!"
"Here!"
Hou Mo and Chen Lin's eyes were full of excitement.
Changsun Wuji stood up and came to the map on the side of the wall. He carefully observed the situation and said slowly: "Right now, the left guard is defeated and is crossing along the Zhongwei Bridge. The right guard is chasing after them. The two sides are fighting in a melee. However, the right guard has the upper hand, but now it is pursuing the left guard, and the camp is bound to be empty. You should drive forward with thunderous momentum, and must not give the opponent a chance to return reinforcements. "
"Here!"
Hou Mo and Chen Lin respectfully accepted the order.
Before, he was just a city guarding captain with hundreds of gatekeepers under his command, but now he has commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How can the difference between this difference be described as "a steady progress"?
There is simply a world of difference.
If not for this military admonishment, how could we have gotten such an opportunity? Therefore, he obeyed Changsun Wuji's advice and was grateful.
However, although his attitude was respectful, Changsun Wuji knew that it was really difficult for a city guarding captain to suddenly command a hundred times the number of troops. It's just that although many of the Guanlong disciples are in the army, there are no outstanding generals. Most of them are low-level officers. It is impossible to encourage them, otherwise how can they take on big responsibilities?
He had to use the Guanlong disciples, but he really couldn't rest assured. He never tired of warning: "Never underestimate the enemy. The 50,000 soldiers of the Zuen Guards are waiting for the enemy. When they make a surprise attack, they are beaten by the Right Guards and lose their armor. They run away like wolves." Although the troops in his camp are empty at the moment, Zhi Tu. You must still go all out with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit. Once you break through its camp, don't be greedy for credit and plunder the main figures of the Fang family back. You must not delay. Otherwise, once the main force chasing Zuo Tunwei returns, you will be defeated. You will definitely fail!”
Even elite troops like the Zuo Tun Guard were unable to fight. This shows how powerful the Right Tun Guard was. The Guan and Long armies were all temporarily gathered, lacked training, and lacked equipment. They could almost be called a "rabble." If you take advantage of the emptiness of the Youtunwei camp to launch a sneak attack with an absolute number of men and horses, Fang may succeed. However, a decisive battle with the main force will be more disastrous. Even if you win by chance, it will be a tragic victory and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Hou Mo Chen Lin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Duke Zhao, the general will definitely obey the order and will never be reluctant to fight. As long as you capture the Youtunwei camp, plunder the Fang family, and immediately withdraw to the city."
Changsun Wen said hurriedly at the side: "Father, I came back from the Youtunwei camp before and I am familiar with the layout of the camp. I am willing to go together!"
Changsun Wuji frowned and pondered undecided.
It is said that a son is better than his father. Although he, the fifth son, is considered smart, he is only a little clever but not very wise. It is difficult for him to hold on at critical moments. But even so, he is still the best among several sons. If he refuses, I am afraid it will hurt his self-esteem. It will be a pity if he fails to recover.
Hou Mo Chen Lin saw that Chang Sun Wen kept giving him winks, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Zhao Guogong Mingjian, this raid on Youtunwei camp, since it is necessary to fight quickly and plunder the Fang family back, there are people who know the camp well." The person who arranges it will naturally do more with less. Wulang has just come out of Youtun Guard and will definitely be able to play a role."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "In this raid, you are in charge. Don't let others influence you. Remember to fight quickly and make a quick decision. If something cannot be done, retreat as soon as possible. Don't lose these 30,000 horses. Otherwise, don't blame me." Engage in military law! ”
"Here! The general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
"Then go quickly and order all your troops and horses outside Chunming Gate to fight quickly."
Changsun Wuji wrote down a military order and handed it to Hou Mo and Chen Lin together with his seal. Without this, no one could mobilize a single soldier.
Although he is not a pure military general, he is familiar with military matters and the art of war.
……
Outside the Chunming Gate, heavy snow was falling, and countless young men wearing simple leather armor and bringing their own weapons gathered here. This time the military remonstrance was initiated by Changsun Wuji, so naturally all the families in Guanlong responded, and even the other clans living in Guanzhong also joined in. I heard that even the clans in Longxi and other places had begun to make moves a few days ago, as long as Chang'an Once the news of the mutiny spreads, troops will probably be organized to come to support.
After all, at least for now, it seems that Guan Long has an absolute advantage. He has forced the East Palace into the palace and is surrounded by people. It will only be a matter of time before things happen. Once it happens, it will be a rich power feast, and everyone will want to jump on it and get a piece of it, and they don't want to be left out.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, the power changes triggered by this military remonstrance will determine the power structure at the highest level of the empire in the next decades or even hundreds of years. All the aristocratic families are unwilling to fall behind in this gluttonous feast, causing the family to be in trouble. I cannot afford to sink in the years to come.
Participating in military admonishment and relying on Guanlong are political positions and are indispensable.
Chang Sun Wen, Hou Mo and Chen Lin led their respective soldiers out of the Chunming Gate like a storm of lingering clouds. They saw a series of tents in the winter wilderness like waves and pines, stretching for dozens of miles and stretching as far as the eye could see under the heavy snow.
Of course, the seemingly continuous camps do not actually have as many soldiers as they appear. They have different ownerships and are not coordinated well, and they are also independent. Soldiers belonging to different clans work in groups, resulting in these camps being clustered together. Disorganized, disorganized, disorganized.
The two of them arrived directly at one of the most spacious tents. Looking at the soldiers and children of aristocratic families coming and going, they ordered the soldiers to stay outside, and the two of them entered the tent together.
Although the more than 100,000 soldiers here have different ownerships, Changsun Wuji has been preparing for this military remonstrance for a long time. Naturally, he has already formulated corresponding management regulations and selected several nobles from aristocratic families to sit in the center to coordinate management, so as to prevent the mixing of personnel from causing trouble.
The person responsible for managing the affairs here is Empress Taimu's grandnephew Dou Deming, the Duke of Julu County.
Dou Deming's grandfather, Dou Zhao, was the elder brother of Empress Taimu and was hereditary Duke of Julu County. At that time, Emperor Gaozu raised an army in Jinyang and was invincible. He marched all the way into Guanzhong and marched to Chang'an. Li Xiaoji, Li Shenfu, Li Daozong, Dou Dan, Zhao Cijing, etc. of the Li family in Longxi were all imprisoned in Chang'an Prison. Sui general Wei Wen Lift, Master Yin Shi wanted to kill them, but Dou Deming advised him: "The fault does not lie with these people. Killing them will not do any harm to those who rebelled. It will only increase resentment. It is better to let them go." Only then did he save these people. life.
Later, he followed His Majesty Li Er on his expedition to Wang Shichong, which was regarded as quite meritorious. Therefore, although his reputation is not obvious, he can be regarded as the elder of the Guanlong clan. He is both capable and able to convince the public.
It's just that he is too old, which is also the biggest dilemma of the Guanlong clan at the moment. The children of the clan cannot be brought up, and there are no successors...
Changsun Wen and Hou Mochen Lin entered the camp and enshrined Changsun Wuji's seal of command. Dou Deming carefully checked that it was correct, and then he asked the captain next to him to go out with the general order to summon troops, but he kept the two men and rubbed them. Rubbing my swollen eyes, exhausted Said: "The war is fierce and dangerous. Both of you are rising stars in Guanlong. You must be more careful in your actions. The situation is now determined. Victory is only a matter of time. Don't be greedy for success and rush forward, which will cause the loss of troops and generals, and shake the morale of the army."
He is knowledgeable and knows that the current Guanlong army seems to be powerful and powerful, but in fact they are not under each other and work on their own. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are scattered. If the battle continues smoothly, victory can be expected, but once there is a setback, each clan will easily have its own plans, become suspicious of each other, and be wary of each other. The slightest carelessness will cause the good situation to be ruined.
Although the two boys in front of them can be regarded as rising stars among the Guanlong clan, their abilities in the face of the current situation are questionable.
However, since Changsun Wuji has been entrusted with an important task, he will naturally not object openly, but it is inevitable that he will take the trouble to give a few words of advice...
Changsun Wen has a rebellious character. He is like a mouse to a cat in front of his own father, but he is used to being arrogant in front of others. Although Dou Deming is senior and has many merits, he is not senior enough. He has a white head and white hair, so he just casually calls him "" Cousin", naturally he doesn't take it seriously.
So he waved his hands casually and said impatiently: "My father has told me many times before, cousin, there is no need to say more, no one can afford to be delayed!"
Dou Deming was a soft-tempered man. He sighed warmly and said nothing. He nodded and said, "I won't say much more. You two will just go and raise the troops."
After saying that, he shook his head and sat back on the chair, burying his head in the paperwork to deal with matters.
Changsun Wen didn't take it seriously and waved to Hou Mo Chenlin excitedly: "Let's go!"
Hou Mo and Chen Lin followed him out of the camp, but he felt very unhappy. He knew that he was the leader of the troops, but now he seemed to be pushed aside... (End of Chapter)
