At this time, everyone was already worried. What they were talking about had nothing to do with the current war. The finger pointed directly at... Well, this thing is not surprising. After Liu Wenjing was executed for her rebellion, as the subordinates of the King of Qin, they
Some people in the DPRK were already dissatisfied.
Therefore, even if what Li Shimin said was more intense, they would still be a little uneasy at most.
Hou Junji blinked his unique little eyes, and finally took advantage of the gap in his words to speak, "What His Highness said is absolutely true. If you want to win the world, you must first win the hearts of the people. That's all for today. With Your Highness here, you will definitely be able to lead the way."
We will retake the land of Jin and chop off Li Ding'an's head."
"If the people to be used are unknown and rewards and punishments are unfair, if things go on like this for a long time, what's the use of winning more battles?"
There was some truth in what he said, but the effect at this time was like adding fuel to the fire. Liu Shirang frowned immediately, Duan Zhixuan glared at Hou Junji fiercely, and Zhai Changsun lowered his head to drink tea.
What do you say about Hou Junji? He was originally just a scoundrel from Guanxi, doing a lot of idle things and causing trouble. Later, he entered the palace of the Prince of Qin and joined the army in the northwest, finally showing his enviable ability to lead an army.
As a result, the transformation from rogue to leading general was gradually completed.
There have been generations of officials in this man's family, so it cannot be said that he has no foundation. However, since he joined the army, he can also say that he has achieved a position of meritorious service with swords and guns. Therefore, this man is very popular among the officers and soldiers in the army, but among the people in Tiance Mansion,
Inside, he is a standard outlier.
In fact, this person sounds similar to Yang Su when he was young. He is very methodical in doing things, but his various methods always give people the feeling of using every possible means.
The superiors and the people under his command all see his talents, but as colleagues, it is difficult to like such a person.
Just like interrupting now, he was completely following Li Shimin's wishes.
Fortunately, Li Shimin was not confused. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, what I said today is just my feelings. I also want everyone to remember that we are leveling the world just to restore peace to the people of the world and benefit the world."
Future generations should not allow those foolish people to occupy high positions and enjoy glory and wealth based on their family background."
"Therefore, if there are talents in the future, regardless of their high or low birth status, you can recommend them to me..."
"Your Highness is wise..." Several people agreed with their hands. Of course, they were willing to flatter him. King Qin's magnanimity and magnanimity had always been admired by them, but now it was just confirmed again.
Li Shimin took the opportunity to sit down, his expression finally softened, he patted the table and said with a smile: "I have talked a lot, but the battle in front of me still has to be fought."
"You have listened to what everyone has said before. If you have any good ideas, please speak up."
The hall suddenly became quiet, and several people lowered their heads in thought.
In the end, it was Duan Zhixuan who took the lead and said: "It is the end of winter and the weather is still cold. If the enemy comes to attack at this time, the weather is on our side. Our army will defend along the river. We have already occupied the advantageous location, and His Highness is personally leading the troops."
, General Murong... died, all the troops were angry and determined to take revenge. With such a united will and morale at our disposal, harmony also depends on me."
"If Li Ding'an crosses the river to attack at this time, it will be easy to defeat..."
Liu Shirang nodded in agreement, "What General Duan said is that I think the enemy is in a hurry. He must have become arrogant after winning consecutive battles. If he is still afraid, he wants to cross the river to fight when the river is frozen.
As long as you stick to the key points, victory will not be difficult."
After hearing what they said, Hou Junji sneered in his heart. He looked down upon both Duan Zhixuan and Liu Shi.
Duan Zhixuan was an old minister of Taiyuan. In Hou Junji's view, he had nothing to offer except his seniority.
Liu Shirang is even funnier. He gained merit for his sacrifice to Fufeng County, and then he was captured by Xue Ju and imprisoned in Qinzhou Prison. What talents can such a person have?
But now, just by looking at their words, you can tell that their words are empty and empty, do they think they are Zhuge Kongming?
So, he hammered his chest and sang the opposite tune.
"Your Highness, if Li Ding'an wants to cross the river, he can only do so in two places, one is Longmen and the other is Puban. He chooses to march at the end of winter to have an extra place that can accommodate the army to cross the river smoothly. It seems that there should be a place to cross the river.
Fighting spirit."
"It is still difficult to decide where to cross the river. Now that two parts of our army are stationed in Feng Yi and Hancheng, the military strength will inevitably be scattered. If the enemy forces cross the river with all their strength to win, once the crossing is lost, they will be divided and defeated.
Worry..."
When Hou Junji said this, he looked at Duan Zhixuan with his twinkling eyes and said: "General Duan's so-called weather time, hey, it's the end of winter, how long will it be until spring? I see, the enemy
In my opinion, the choice of military equipment is very good."
"As for the geographical advantage, it would be fine if the river was turbulent, but now that the river is frozen, the geographical advantage is already weak."
"As for the harmony and harmony, it is even more nonsense. If the army is united as one, I don't think the Bingdai army has taken full advantage of the harmony and harmony with its successive victories?"
This was obviously a slap in the face, and Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but get angry. However, he knew that although Hou Junji was uneducated and incompetent, he had a sharp tongue and a reputation for being eloquent, so he did not want to follow him.
The man struggled with his words, but said coldly: "Hey, it seems that General Hou has already made up his mind, what do you think should be done?"
Hou Junji smiled, cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said: "In my opinion, it is better to imitate the story of General Sang Xianhe and burn the Puban Bridge and gather troops to defend Hancheng. If the enemy comes with all their strength, they can still dig it.
Go through the ice and cover it on the river."
Duan Zhixuan just wanted to refute that there were many loopholes in this strategy, and if you prick it, you would definitely see blood.
But Hou Junji did not give him this opportunity, and then said: "If this strategy is not in line with His Majesty's wishes, the general will have another strategy. Why not let the Tang Dynasty's internal history lead the army to station in Puban, and I will send a heavy army to Hancheng."
"If Li Ding'an leads his army to attack Puban, I can cross the river to attack Jiangjun and cut off his return route. If he crosses the river from Longmen, then the internal history of the Tang Dynasty can also lead his army northward and make him focus on one thing and lose another."
This strategy has some appearance, but Li Shimin looked at the young Hou Junji and shook his head secretly. He was still too young. If he could be older, it is estimated that there would be another rare member in the palace of Prince Qin.
Good general.
The following strategy sounded good, but Hou Junji was comparing the Tang army to the troops led by Li Ding'an, and he had stayed in the northwest for a long time, so he probably didn't pay attention to the many rumors before.
When fighting troops and horses together, the one with the sharpest edge is the cavalry. This kind of exchange attacks the enemy's flank and rear, making it difficult for the enemy to look at the head and tail. The only strategy is to divide the troops. Against Xue Rengao, or even the Tang army itself, it may be possible.
If the enemy were Li Ding'an, they would probably be defeated by the cavalry coming and going like the wind.
That's why he chose to fight Li Ding'an on the bank of the Yellow River. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to march directly to Hedong?
