Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Compared with the smooth advancement of the Wei army's main force, the Northern Qi Jinyang troops were less successful.

Although this was the home ground of the Qi army, the strength of the Wei army exceeded their imagination. Although the previous concessions successfully attracted the Wei army out of Qinyuan, the Qi army also lost its home field advantage to a certain extent.

In particular, the vanguard brigade led by King Wuxing and King Xiucheng, a pair of royal treasures, was defeated, which allowed the Wei army to quickly establish a foothold in Wusu City and quickly control the surrounding dangerous places. This made it even more apparent that this time they abandoned the city to lure the enemy. The plot was somewhat self-defeating.

After all, as the Wei army took the initiative to attack, no one knew where their appetite would end. It was a logical military route to conquer Wusu City and then follow up with the main force and then continue to attack Shangdang.

Treating this situation as a sign of successful strategy is a bit of a pat on the back. The most basic point is that if the Wei army's advance was caused by a trick, then the Qi army should now have the means and capabilities to restrict the opponent.

But the fact is that the current Jinyang Division cannot even get close to Wusu City. At least in terms of controlling the dangerous strongholds around Wusu City, the Qi army failed to achieve its expected goal, and the situation was somewhat out of control.

Of course, no one dared to talk about these issues in front of Qi Lord Gao Yang, but even so, the army had been stationary in Wuxiang City for many days without making any progress, and Gao Yang's mood had become anxious in recent days.

The sense of control over people and things that he had created by torturing his brother-in-law and leading the army all the way south was diluted as the battle situation got out of control. This inevitably made Gao Yang become sensitive and irritable, eager to re-establish himself. authority. Therefore, after beheading Wuxing King Gaopu, Gao Yang became more and more strict in enforcing military law, causing panic in the entire Wuxing city.

However, he was able to intimidate his subordinates by exerting power here, but the hostile Wei army was not affected by this and still acted according to its own rhythm. Its main force successfully advanced into Wusu City.

"Your Majesty, the main force of Qiang thieves has entered Wusu, and Shangdang is in turmoil. It will be difficult for our division to stay in Wuxiang. Is it necessary to turn south to join forces with the King of Pingyuan to attack the thieves?"

Knowing that the enemy's main force had taken a big step forward, the rest of the soldiers were intimidated by the military power and did not dare to speak. Only the experienced King of Anding, He Baren, was elected by the masses and bit the bullet to speak to Gao Yang.

Hearing He Baren's words, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed across Gao Yang's face. The most beneficial thing about the next war for the Northern Qi Dynasty is naturally that the main force of the Wei army is lingering near Wusu City, while the Jinyang and Shangdang forces of the Northern Qi attack from the north and south, making the main force of the Wei army vulnerable from both sides.

However, the execution of tactics during this period was greatly hindered. Important strongholds such as Duanliang City could not be conquered, making it difficult for Jinyang's army to approach Wusu City.

Now that the main force of the enemy has arrived in Wusu City, without being threatened by the army in the north, continuing south to attack the Shangdang area is naturally the next step. If the Jinyang division and brigade stop here again, then the Shangdang troops led by Duan Shao can only fight the enemy alone. Therefore, the Jinyang division and brigade go south to join forces and jointly fight the enemy. It is the most rational and realistic choice at the moment.

But in this way, it is tantamount to admitting that Gao Yang's previous tactical thinking was wrong. Gao Yang, who is eager to re-establish his authority and improve his control, is naturally unwilling to admit such mistakes.

"In both the south and the north, we are attacking the enemy. The king is eager to go south. Could it be that he has some winning strategy to offer?"

After listening to He Baren's advice, Gao Yang did not make an immediate decision. Instead, he rolled his eyelids, looked at He Baren and said coldly.

As a reform-through-labor prisoner with a criminal record, He Baren knew that such a job was a waste of his life, but the current situation was obviously unfavorable. If the stalemate continued, it would only further delay the fight.

Seeing that the emperor was still embarrassed to admit his previous mistakes, He Baren could only bite the bullet and continue: "His Majesty the former used a trick to lure the enemy into a trap, and the Qiang thieves followed the trick. However, the subsequent battles between the armies were unfavorable and aggressive. As a result, most of the dangerous places within the territory were occupied by thieves, making it difficult for our army to go directly to Wusu. Although the plan was clever, those who were ordered failed to use it to the fullest..."

Xue Guyan, who had just returned to Wuxiang City after being frustrated in Duanliang City, was unhappy when he heard that He Baren was going to bring disaster to them, the frontline soldiers. He hurriedly turned sideways and said loudly: "I have received my order. , all worked together to fight. A few days ago, they intercepted and killed thousands of thieves at the foot of Duanliang City, and killed several Qiang generals in formation. Although they did not complete their service, it was not a disadvantage in the battle. On the contrary, the former Wusu City took over the front! The commander failed to understand the holy will deeply and gave all the advantages to thieves, which created many difficulties for the advancement of the current army! "

"I'm wronged, I... When I left Wusu City, I already informed the two kings that they needed to seize the victory around Wusu City as soon as possible. However, the King of Xiu City rushed in rashly and the King of Wuxing delayed the military plane, causing all places to be destroyed. Being supported by thieves is really not my fault. Please give me a clear warning!"

When Wei Gu and King Wuxing were defeated and retreated together, King Wuxing was executed but he was not blamed. He was secretly lucky in his heart, but he didn't want to be blamed again now. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and defended loudly. Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor's face became more and more ugly, he hurriedly said: "Even though I am guilty, I beg you to stay here and join the battle to fight the enemy bravely one day, in order to repay the favor of the Lord!"

The generals passed the blame, and although there was still no debate on who should be mainly responsible for this, at least the emperor's responsibility as a decision-maker seemed to have become smaller. It was all a matter of problems in the execution stage.

Gao Yang's character is inherently arrogant and sensitive, and such a character has never been absolutely fair and rational, and he pays special attention to his own inner feelings.

When he realized that he could avoid the embarrassing situation of admitting his mistakes and blaming himself, he became tolerant. He looked at a few people and frowned and said: "At present, a powerful enemy is approaching, and we should respond to the enemy with one heart. You are all generals of the country. Such a simple truth is actually I don’t know! The founder of the stable kingdom, Su Lao, can be exempted from punishment. You two can take the punishment for ten years and come back to discuss the matter after you are calm!"

Compared with the recent punishments of frequent killings, the punishment of just ten military sticks is really too light. The two men were afraid that the emperor would change his mind again, so they hurriedly apologized and then hurriedly got up and went out to receive the cane.

After repelling the generals who were criticizing each other, Gao Yang looked at He Baren and sighed: "Don't I understand what the king said? Li Boshan's stubborn enemy is cunning and cunning, and he is not an easy person. Although I fought with him for the first time, I did not dare to underestimate the enemy." The plan is set. If there is a sudden change, not to mention whether the morale will be reduced, the thief will also be unpredictable. "

When He Baren heard that the emperor had regained some of his upright attitude of being willing to discuss matters, he felt slightly relieved, and then he said again: "Everyone knows that the Qiang thieves are cunning. But because they are not as powerful as others, they try to use treacherous tricks." To complement each other, if there is a huge gap between them, even if there is a conspiracy, it will be difficult to succeed..."

At this point, he paused for a moment, and when he secretly noticed that the emperor's expression was normal, he spoke again: "Now we have a huge army of tens of thousands, and our soldiers are all brave and strong, and they are willing to fight to the death to defend the country! In this battle, I will fight to the death." Even if the thieves start the provocation and use old troops to fight, it will be difficult for them to continue. However, I have my back to the country's gate and supplies are nearby. However, with a strong army and a large number of people to fight, if the thieves' treacherous plan cannot be carried out, what is the use of the thieves? For fear!

In the past, Emperor Taizu relied on this powerful force to defeat all the heroes of the time, and achieved such great deeds that no one in the world could compete with him. Although the Qiang thieves are evil, how are they compared to the Zhu family? The legacy he inherited was nothing more than the ruins of the Kansai Black Otter, and the people's hearts were not in harmony. And the great achievements of his father and brothers, which His Majesty relies on, have been more and more prosperous since he took the throne. When Your Majesty looks down upon the world, this wolf is just a pawn in the black otter's tent. How difficult is it to break it? "

Gao Yang has never liked others talking about his father and brother's career in front of him, so he is alienated from those veterans who rely on their seniority to rely on their seniority.

But now he is facing a truly powerful enemy, and he is no longer as brave as he was in his early years. He was worried about gains and losses. Now when he heard He Baren's words, the uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared, and his mood changed again. You have to cheer up and be determined.

Yes, his father and brother relied on this Jinyang army to build their careers, and he relied on it to complete the great achievement of usurping the Wei Dynasty and establishing the country. After that, he fought with all sides and defeated all powerful enemies. Li Boshan, a mere person, is nothing more than a person who took advantage of the situation and rose to prominence compared with the great achievements in the same line, so why should he be afraid!

"Wang's good words are sobering. They are really the treasures left to me by Taizu. When I fight against the thieves in the future, Wang should lead an army for me and take charge of his own role. I will be full of ambition and achieve great achievements again!"

The change in his mood made Gao Yang's gaze towards He Baren become much kinder. It was no longer just to bully him, but to look at him with respect and reliance.

After hearing this, He Baren's expression froze slightly, but he quickly nodded and said, "As long as I have the mission of the king, why should I be afraid of wearing armor!"

After He Baren's encouragement and persuasion, Gao Yang no longer stubbornly stayed in Wuxiang and tried to launch an offensive from the north of Wusu City. Instead, he decided to go south to join forces with Duan Shao. With his strong troops and home field advantage, , destroy your opponents through frontal battlefield battles!
