"Brother Shen still remembers that when Brother Shen first arrived in Xiliang, he conspired with Shen Youjia, the then captain of Xiliang, and used Brother Shen himself as a bait to deceive the Di people into personally leading the warriors of Musuer, the Great Dan. "Riding to the border to kill Brother Shen?" After clearing the situation, he asked to send "thorn fence" to guard the outside of the tent, Shangguan Shiyi said.
His words made Shen Zangfeng's expression suddenly change: "You mean this time the Rong people...?"
Shangguan nodded at eleven and said solemnly: "Because the Rong people's previous plans were closely linked until the imperial capital was besieged, we just woke up like a dream! This time they clearly have the right time, right place, and no one has the advantage. But they just occupied the Imperial Capital and Yanzhou and refused to go. We learned the lesson from the fall of the Imperial Capital and did not dare to attack easily to avoid falling into a trap. But this time, I thought hard for several days and still couldn't think of the benefits of their lingering. Wherever there is life!”
"So I wonder, is it possible that they actually have no way out?"
Shen Zangfeng seemed to have thought of something, took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Keep talking!"
"Of course it is impossible for the Rong people to throw themselves into a trap, let alone to risk their lives. So there must be a reason for them to do this." Shangguan Shiyi said solemnly, "That's why I thought of the fall of the imperial capital! For me, the great Wei Dynasty, the fall of the imperial capital is not only It means national humiliation. This trap at the east gate has caused heavy losses to our Wei Dynasty, from the clan to the common people in the capital! No noble family has been spared. This is a great disaster for our Wei Dynasty! , but it was a great victory for the Rong people!”
"Looking at the Rong people's invasion of the Wei Dynasty over the past hundred years, we have never had such a record!"
Shangguan Shiyi narrowed his eyes, "In this case, no matter whether this great victory of the Rong people was planned by one person or several people. The reputation of this person or several people among the Rong people will definitely skyrocket! Then if this One or several people made the nearly 300,000 Rong people, including the three Rong princes, stay in the city... Based on their confidence in the previous victory, wouldn't it be very likely that the Rong people would follow this plan? "
"If this is said, then this person and several others used the imperial capital as bait to lure the troops into Wei, and then surrounded and annihilated them?" Shen Zangfeng stared at the sand table for a moment, then murmured, "Who in the world can have such a big gesture?"
Shen Zangfeng had done the bait himself, and the idea was his own.
That battle established his reputation for courage, courage and strategy, and secured his position as the next leader of the Shen family.
Of course, he had listened to a lot of persuasion and admonitions before and after, such as "A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in court". A noble disciple like him, with a noble background and a promising future, risked himself by using himself as bait. Even if the result was that the Di people were killed by Fu Fu, Qiu Di's vitality was severely injured and divided, and he was unable to invade eastward in a short time, it was already a disaster. Something that many people disapprove of and consider unworthy.
In fact, after returning to the imperial capital from Xiliang to resume his duties, Shen Zangfeng heard many compliments about his generosity... He also went to the border to make contributions, and others only thought about earning more credit. However, as soon as he arrived in Xiliang, he actually planned to make a permanent contribution to his family. Eliminating future troubles—at least for a period of time, and it was successful!
But if Shangguan Shiyi's speculation is true, the person who designed the encirclement and annihilation of the Rong people this time... is simply audacious!
The fall of the capital of a country is already a shame that will be written into history.
Not to mention that the result of the fall of the capital of the Wei Dynasty was so tragic - the whereabouts of the Holy Emperor are still unknown, and only one King Run in the clan has survived. The Xiliang army forced the Rong people to shrink their lines to defend the city, and then they cleared up When looking for corpses in the fields outside the city, they found the corpses and belongings of many princes, princes, grandsons... Among the nobles, the six clans in the sea suffered such heavy casualties, unprecedented in ancient times.
Even for Ming Peitang, which had previously been the envy of every family for its prosperous population, only two of the female relatives in the imperial capital escaped, namely Wei Changying and Shen Shujing's aunt and nephew. Among the male heirs, except for those who were not in the imperial capital for some reason before, only brothers Shen Lianshi and Shen Liankun escorted the two children Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie to survive. If Shen Lianshi and Shen Shuxie didn't have the two life-saving pills that Huang gave to Wei Changying for storage, they would probably be in trouble right now.
This is the case for the valve review, not to mention the four surnames below: Gaoliang, Huafu, Jia, Yi, Bing and Ding.
Even when the Wei royal family was at its peak, they would not dare to inflict such a disaster on the country!
What's more, didn't the royal family suffer heavy losses this time
Who in the world can do such a thing? Who dares to do such a thing
Shen Zangfeng thought carefully and finally turned his attention to Shangguan Eleven: "Eleven, do you have a clue?"
Shangguan Shiyi's fair and slender hand like a woman pressed it somewhere on the sand table and said calmly: "Brother Shen, do you really believe that the Rong people are confident that they can assassinate Marquis Weiyuan in time after besieging the imperial capital? Success caused Donghu to fall into a leaderless chaos and delayed King Qin? "
"The Liu family, like the Shen family, was established in the flames of war. The hatred between the Liu family and the Rong people also lasts for hundreds of years." Shangguan Shiyi looked calmly, staring at Donghu's position on the sand table, and said, "Just Just like you, Brother Shen, were constantly assassinated in Xiliang back then, the Rong people naturally wanted to eliminate Weiyuanhou's status in Donghu and his influence on the Donghu army! The problem is, if Weiyuanhou was so easy to assassinate, he wouldn't be able to assassinate him. Maybe he has been in charge of Donghu for so many years. Don’t you think it’s just a coincidence that Marquis Weiyuan died this time? Or is it God’s will to make everything go smoothly for them?”
He raised his head and looked at Shen Zangfeng, "Brother Shen, do you still remember that when I was in Yanzhou, I had doubts about why the Rong people deliberately besieged the imperial capital? The Rong people grew up on horseback and lived as nomads. The Khan's residence was just the king's tent. They were good at attacking, but they were definitely not good at attacking cities! Especially when they lurked in the Wei Dynasty, even if they rushed into the army from the desert, they didn't have much because of the lack of supplies on the grassland. Siege equipment. Just like us now, their siege equipment was made by cutting down trees on the spot after arriving at the imperial capital... Many of the craftsmen were kidnapped from Wei towns along the way! "
"Logically speaking, it is impossible for 200,000 soldiers to capture the imperial capital. But not only did they capture it, but it took less time than expected! It was so short that the Xiliang Army and the Qingzhou Army didn't even have time to arrive."
Shangguan Shiyi said calmly, "However, the Xiliang army and the Qingzhou army are far away, but the Donghu army is close. But Weiyuan Hou was assassinated at this moment, and everyone in Ranli Hall was fighting for power, and they had no time and no ability to serve the king. Only then As a result, the imperial capital was left alone and helpless. The soldiers sneaked into the city and burned the baggage, and after breaking through the west gate, they were defeated and fell directly. Perhaps most people believed that this was because the assassins of the Rong people were well prepared and waited for the imperial capital to be besieged immediately. We set out to assassinate Marquis Weiyuan in order to disrupt the Donghu Army. But even without the Donghu Army, why do we think they can capture the capital of the Wei Dynasty with only 200,000 soldiers and insufficient siege equipment?"
"I've thought about it, and the confidence of the Rong people can only come from one place! That is... the Liu family of Donghu!"
Shen Zangfeng said in a deep voice: "If the Rong people plundered the imperial capital and then left, even if there is no evidence, it is very possible to speculate. After all, Weiyuan Marquis and the Taiwei have been at odds for a long time. This time the Liu family of Donghu is here Although the clansmen in the imperial capital also suffered heavy casualties, most of them were from the Taiwei faction, and most of Weiyuanhou's faction was far away in Donghu. Although Liu Xixun was the successor chosen by Weiyuanhou in the past, he was unable to go to the border to perform meritorious service. The opportunity delayed his future and was given up, but it was not impossible. Weiyuan Hou used the help of soldiers to eliminate the Taiwei faction. Later, in order to prevent Ranlitang from becoming the target of the Wei monarchs and ministers, he committed suicide and was assassinated. I thought the Liu family had been cleared of their grievances... This old marquis may not be so cruel."
"But, how can Marquis Weiyuan convince the Rong people to stay in the Imperial Capital and Yanzhou?"
Shangguan Shiyi shook his head and said: "Brother Shen, I said that after the Rong people occupied the imperial capital, they knew that our two major frontier armies of the Wei Dynasty had arrived, but the confidence that they could not leave came from the Liu family of Donghu, but they themselves may not I know, it’s from the Liu family of Donghu!”
"As I said just now, the great victory of the Rong people this time is something they have never achieved in a hundred years. Whoever helps them achieve such a feat will not only have great prestige among the Rong people, but also such an unprecedented victory. Now, if this person has any suggestions, even if they are false or made up, they will not be easily rejected."
Shen Zangfeng mused: "It's just that it's not easy to be rejected. It's a military and national event, and it's a man recognized by the world as a brilliant and talented person. If you come up with the idea of letting them die, how can you not ask for it? If it's false or false, How is it possible to make up nonsense and justify it? Didn't you say before that you really can't see any way for these soldiers to survive now? "
As soon as he finished speaking, before Shangguan Shiyi could answer, Shen Zangfeng's expression suddenly changed, he thought of something and murmured, "I seem to have heard before that the men under the Great Khan of the Rong Dynasty have begun to compete for the throne?"
"That's right!" There was a trace of appreciation in Shangguan Eleven's eyes - look at him talking eloquently now, he seems to be giving Shen Zangfeng advice at every turn, but this is because he is a highly valued staff member who has no power but is very important. , was protected at all levels when Yanzhou broke out, unlike Shen Zangfeng who took the lead in fighting.
After breaking out of the siege, Shen Zangfeng led his men to Xiliang to mobilize reinforcements. However, considering Shangguan Shiyi's health, he arranged for a group of elite soldiers to escort him to a Shen family property in Panzhou to hide. It wasn't until Shen Zangfeng led the Xiliang army to the capital and chose Yuzhu Town to garrison that he sent someone to pick him up.
During this period, Shen Zangfeng traveled back and forth. When he was in Xiliang, he had to use various methods to suppress his tribe before he could set off with his army. And when he arrived in the capital, there was a series of bad news - not just bad news - the Xiliang army set off in a hurry and did not carry enough baggage; the imperial capital fell prematurely, the clan and the nobles were separated and needed to send manpower to search and rescue; brothers Shen Xuan and Shen Zangli died, Shen Lian He was seriously injured, and no one was there to share the pressure for Shen Zangfeng. This even caused the Xiliang army to be shaken and needed to be comforted and controlled. It was easy to incite the Xiliang army's desire for revenge and arouse the morale of the entire army, but they managed to regain the siege equipment that the imperial capital wanted. The Xiliang army did not bring any...
There are so many things that Shen Zangfeng needs to mediate and deal with. These days, he is almost working day and night, and he is still busy suppressing the pain of bereavement and the concern that his brother-in-law and beloved son may die at any time.
Shangguan Shiyi began to ponder the ins and outs of the whole matter after he settled in Panzhou. After he was taken to Yuzhu Town, he thought about it quietly and without interruption for several days.
But now, Shen Zangfeng immediately came up with an idea after just a little guidance from him.
"Among the princes of the Rong people, the third prince has the highest voice. This time we captured the imperial capital. The third prince personally led the army. If he returns to the grassland, he will definitely hold the position of crown prince." Shangguan Shiyi said slowly, "Among the princes of the Rong people, The competition for the reserve position was extremely cruel, and the loser was often sentenced to death to avoid causing trouble later. The best outcome was that the strength of his tribe would prevent the new Khan from harming him, for example, the eldest son of the Great Rong Khan. , seems to have this strength. The problem is that Qiu Di’s destiny is right in front of him. It is said that Rongren Great Khan is ambitious, how can he not learn from Mushuer’s lesson?”
"I remember that this eldest prince of the Rong people had always been opposed to the invasion of the army and the devil's surrender. When the news came out, he was criticized by the third prince for this!" (To be continued)
