Everyone was silent for a moment, and then Liu Pi asked: "Bo Yue, when will the reinforcements from Yongzhou arrive?"
"This..." Jiang Wei was in charge of this matter. After hearing Liu Pi's question, Jiang Wei silently calculated in his mind before replying: "According to the itinerary, there should be about ten days left! After all,
Those siege equipment are not that easy to transport!"
"Tsk! It's too slow!" Liu Pi slapped his thigh, looking very impatient, and stood up directly and said: "There are still five days left, the lord will set off from Hangu Pass! We must completely occupy Bingzhou before then
|! Only in this way can we reduce the pressure on our lord's march eastward! Everyone, think carefully and must come up with a good way to capture Taiyuan!"
As soon as Liu Pi said this, all the generals fell silent. If they could simply come up with a good idea, they wouldn't have been delayed here for so long. The Xiahou brothers guarding Taiyuan are not like those who guarded Shilou before.
Xiahou Mao is so easy to deal with! The Xiahou brothers each have their own strengths and are prudent in their actions. These days, Liu Pi and the others have tried every means, but the Xiahou brothers just won't be fooled and hide in Taiyuan City, refusing to come out even to the death!
"Uh!" After a while, Jiang Wei suddenly responded, but soon fell silent again. Looking at Jiang Wei's face, it was clear and dark, and it was very complicated, as if there was something difficult to make a decision on!
Jiang Wei's reaction was noticed by Liu Pi and others. With Jiang Wei's outstanding performance in Youzhou and the strategies he contributed in the previous attack on Shilou, Liu Pi and others will never underestimate him again.
Seeing Jiang Wei's expression, the generals immediately knew that Jiang Wei must have an idea! Huang Xu immediately shouted: "Bo Yue! Have you come up with an idea? Tell me quickly!"
"That's right!" Zhou Cang, who was beside Jiang Wei, also shouted anxiously. He almost didn't reach out to catch Jiang Wei, but he was so anxious that he jumped up and shouted: "Bo Yue! What idea have you come up with? Hurry up.
Come and listen!"
"I..." Jiang Wei showed a wry smile and looked at everyone as if he was embarrassed. Seeing the expectant eyes of the generals, Jiang Wei could only bite the bullet and said: "I did think of an idea.
, just, just..."
"Oops!" Zhou Cang couldn't help it anymore. He jumped up, grabbed Jiang Wei's arm, and muttered: "What's that? Why are you acting like a mother-in-law? Come on, tell me.
!”
Although Zhou Cang's words were very rude, Jiang Wei also knew that Zhou Cang had no ill intentions, so he could only respond with a wry smile and said: "My idea is extremely risky. If it doesn't succeed, I'm afraid not only will the army be defeated, but Liu will also be killed."
The general's life will be..." As he spoke, Jiang Wei's voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes moved to Liu Pi.
Hearing what Jiang Wei said, Zhou Cang and Huang Xu couldn't help but be startled, and Zhou Cang's hand slowly let go of Jiang Wei. If they were allowed to take risks on their own, they would definitely have no problem holding the knife.
They rushed forward, but Jiang Wei wanted to risk Liu Pi's life, so they had to think about it! Although Liu Pi was mediocre in all aspects, he was the first to follow Luo Yang in raising troops.
Veterans, even earlier than Huang Zhong! Among the first three veterans who followed Luo Yang, both Huang Zhong and Gong had died of illness, leaving only Liu Pi. It can be said that Liu Pi's prestige in the army was second only to Luo Yang!
Therefore, Liu Pi's safety is also very important!
On the other hand, Liu Pi looked unusually calm after Jiang Wei said those words. After everyone calmed down, Liu Pi smiled faintly and looked at Jiang Wei with a calm expression.
Said: "Boyo! Do you still remember what I said to you when we were at Shilou? What are you still hesitating about? Say it!"
Risk your life and forget about death! These four words suddenly lit up in Jiang Wei's mind, and Jiang Wei's heart suddenly brightened up. The words Liu Pi said to him in Shilou City immediately echoed in his heart. Jiang Wei
Wei also nodded vigorously, discarding all the previous hesitations, and nodded and said: "I understand! General, I have a plan here that may be able to break through Taiyuan City! Please listen..."
———————————————————————————————————————— ———————————————————————————————— the thorns in Taiyuan City the next day
In the mansion, brothers Xiahou and Chen Qun are discussing how to deploy the defense line today. This has become a must for them every morning in the past few days! Thanks to this daily deployment, Taiyuan can be protected.
"Third brother was injured yesterday, why not rest for a few days! Let fifth brother hold the south gate for you today!" Xia Houheng said to Xia Houcheng, whose arm was wrapped in a layer of white cloth: "Fifth brother! You and seventh brother guard the south gate.
, you must be careful, if there is anything..."
"Brother!" Before Xia Houheng finished speaking, Xia Houcheng said anxiously: "It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem at all! I'll guard the south gate!" As he said, Xia Houcheng said
Xia Houcheng even shook his arm to prove that he was fine, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain, which made Xia Houcheng gasp in pain.
Seeing Xia Houcheng's appearance, Xia Houheng also smiled and said: "Third brother! Wouldn't it be better if you take good care of your injuries and wait until you are healed before going into battle? Stop talking, it's decided like this!" With that, Xia Houheng
With a wave of his hand, Xia Houcheng stopped what he was going to say, and Xia Houcheng could only shut his mouth helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Houheng continued: "Fourth brother! You are in charge of the north gate! Sixth brother! You are in charge of the east gate! As for the west gate, second brother, I leave it to you!" The West Qin army came from the southwest.
Therefore, among the four city gates, the east gate has the least pressure, and the sixth Xia Houhui is a civil servant, so this task is naturally entrusted to him. The pressure on the south gate is also not small, so in addition to arranging the fifth Xia Hourong
In addition, the seventh brother Xiahou He was added, and the two of them cooperated. As for Ximen who was under the greatest pressure, he naturally left it to the second most powerful brother Xiahou Ba to handle it!
After hearing Xia Houheng's instructions, Xia Houba stood up, nodded and shouted: "Brother! Leave it to me, don't worry! With me here, Ximen will be safe!" Xia Houba just said a few simple words, but it made everyone
The brothers all felt relieved.
Chen Qun, who was watching the performance of the Xiahou brothers, couldn't help but admire in his heart. In the past, when Cao Wei and Western Qin fought, they often suffered defeats because there were no generals in the army, but when they saw the heroes of the Xiahou family, Chen Qun also felt like
He couldn't help but feel proud. With Cao Wei's generals like this, why worry about not being able to defeat Western Qin in the future?
"Report——!" Just when everyone was about to finish the discussion, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside, but a sergeant rushed outside the meeting hall, knelt down at the door, cupped his fists and shouted: "Report
General! The enemy troops outside the city have retreated!"
"What?" After hearing the news, the Xiahou brothers all exclaimed and stood up at the same time. But soon, all the brothers burst into laughter. Xiahou Wei laughed and said: "This Western Qin Army is really
Do you think our brothers are fools? You dare to use such a crude trick? It’s too naive to try to trick us out like this, right?"
"That's what I'm saying!" Xia Houhe, the youngest and seventh oldest, was even more exaggerated. He almost lay on the ground and rolled around. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. He said to several brothers: "I think this Western Qin Army may
It’s because the Guizhou donkey has run out of skills! It’s embarrassing to even use such tricks!”
"Okay! Okay!" Xia Houheng was the calmest. He just smiled lightly and said to the brothers: "Now that we know it's a trick, it's easy to handle, but everyone must not take it lightly! Uh, Mr. Chen
, do you have any suggestions?" Xia Houheng was talking, but suddenly he found that Chen Qun beside him had been silent, seeming to be thinking about something, and then he asked.
Chen Qun frowned and said: "Most of the generals of the Western Qin Army are students from Qingcheng College! I heard that Qingcheng College teaches a variety of subjects, so most of the generals of the Western Qin Army are talented people with both civil and military talents!
Moreover, the general of the Western Qin Army this time is Liu Pi, a veteran who has followed Luo Yang for many years. Although this person lacks ability, he is famous for his stability. No matter how anxious he is, he will not be able to implement such a crude strategy! So!
I think that the plan of the Western Qin Army is not as simple as luring a snake out of its hole!"
When Chen Qun said this, the Xiahou brothers all fell silent. They looked at me and I looked at you, but they had to admit that what Chen Qun said was reasonable! Everyone slowly stopped laughing and frowned.
With his brows raised in thought, Xia Houheng said to Chen Qun: "Master Chen, in your opinion, what tricks is this Western Qin Army playing?"
"This..." Although Chen Qun has outstanding resourcefulness, what he is best at is government affairs. It was Chen Qun's extraordinary performance to come up with the idea of gathering soldiers from the state to defend Taiyuan before. Now he wants him to figure it out in such a short period of time.
The enemy’s intentions were somewhat difficult for him!
Chen Qun hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and the Xiahou brothers each lowered their heads and thought. Suddenly, the sixth brother Xiahou Hui's eyes lit up, he clapped his thighs and shouted: "Brother! I know! The West Qin Army must be thinking.
Imitate the sneak attack on Shilou before and attack Taiyuan at night!"
"Night attack?" Xia Hourong, who was sitting next to Xia Houhui, frowned and said, "Isn't that right! The Western Qin Army sneak attack on Shilou before was based on the internal response that sneaked into the city at the beginning.
!But now that Taiyuan City has been sealed off by us early, it is impossible for any insiders to sneak in! What's the use of their night attack?"
Although Xia Hourong said this, Xia Houcheng's eyes lit up and he said: "No! What the sixth brother said is not unreasonable! The art of war is to attack the enemy by surprise! The West Qin army retreated first, most likely with two preparations.
, if we are fooled and chase out of the city, it would be best, but if we are not fooled, the defense will inevitably be relaxed, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage of!"
