Chapter 349 Daxia needs two legs to walk
For the monarchs, officials and family members on the campus, even if they couldn't see the actual situation in the mountains and forests, Habayashiro's reports again and again still touched the hearts of too many people.
Nearly two hours have passed, and the time has reached the end of noon.The competition has also reached the final critical moment.
The Supreme Emperor saw He Yaomin, Minister of Rites sitting beside him, clenched his hands tightly, and asked happily: "He Aiqing thinks, who will win?"
He Yaomin is still worried about his grandson, He Chong can be said to be his most valued grandson.
The other descendants of the He family were average in talent, but He Chong was the only one who could be said to be extremely talented. He practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child, and at the age of 15 he had already gained a good reputation in Quanzhou for being both skilled in both literature and martial arts.
This time, why he was invited to be the judge in the conflict competition between the younger generations was not to make his grandson famous.
But until now, He Chong's talent has not been shown, the limelight has been won by Jia Cong and Mu Congying of Mu Palace.
Jia Cong's series of operations that can see through people's hearts and command with determination, and Mu Congying's reputation for decisiveness and bravery have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even the phoenix egg in Rongguo Mansion has been praised by many people. After all, Jia Baoyu, who has been doted on for more than ten years, can actually shoot an archer who is running away quickly with one arrow. This alone is enough to amaze everyone.
He Yaomin was anxious, not because he resented others for taking away his grandson's chance, but because he was anxious about his grandson's future.
Hearing the sage's question, He Yaomin relaxed a little and said with a wry smile: "I am a weak scholar, how can I understand military affairs? Alas, I am ashamed to say that I am naturally looking forward to my grandson... I am looking forward to Yongfeng Bo's victory. .After all, Uncle Yongfeng’s reputation for being good at fighting has long been famous both inside and outside the court.”
"No, I think he will lose."
The sage master shook his head and made his own judgment. The emperor and princes at the side all looked at the old man in surprise.
King Ji Liu Huai asked suspiciously: "Why does the emperor think so? The side attacking the mountain is obviously at a disadvantage, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony. My brother and He Shangshu have the same opinion, and Jia Cong's side has a greater hope of winning."
The sage still just shook his head and did not give an explanation. Instead, he turned his gaze to his son Liu Heng: "Fourth, tell me your opinion."
"My son is a little confused. The command of this competition should not be at Jia Cong's true level."
If we talk about the ambush at the beginning, Liu Heng still thinks it is normal.
But according to Habayashiro's report, Jia Cong gave up several key opportunities to ambush, and even planned to put the final decisive battle in the open space under the dragon's banner, preparing to fight with the general's son with sharp sword and sharp spear.
This is already contrary to Jia Cong's past habits, something is wrong!
Liu Heng still attached great importance to this competition in his heart. The country is always short of talents, especially when there is a crisis of talent generation. He is looking forward to the offensive and defensive sides in the mountains and forests.
The discussion on the high platform became more heated with Er Sheng's statement, and Fang Jingyan's gamble became bigger and bigger.
In the beginning, betting on the attacking side won more, but now most people betting on the defending side will win.Even Xia Lingxing, the second assistant of the cabinet, bet 20 taels of silver, and the defender wins.
"Report! Your Majesty, Saint, the attackers have successfully passed through the final dense forest and are facing off against the defenders in the open space under the Dragon Flag."
Habayashi sent the latest battle report: "When the attacker passed through the dense forest, two people fell into a trap and were eliminated by the defender's archers. Now there are 24 attackers and 60 defenders."
"Twenty-four against sixty, no chance. What Yongfengbo is best at is consuming the enemy's vitality. From the beginning, Yongfengbo's strategy should be to continuously consume the attacking side's combat power..."
"I don't think it's that simple. If it's really to consume the attacker's combat power, why aren't there ambushes in those traps? If I were to kill him while he was sick, how could I wait until the enemy's soldiers approached the city?"
"It makes sense! Does Yongfeng Bo have other preparations?"
"I don't know either, just wait at ease."
……
The dragon flag was fluttering against the wind, Jia Cong looked at Mu Congying and others who were not far away exhausted, smiled and said to He Chong: "This competition is finally coming to an end, but before the decisive battle, I have one thing to ask Announce……"
Ok?
He Chong tightly held the wooden sword in his hand, and was waiting for Jia Cong to give an order. He looked at Jia Cong suspiciously, but his eyes widened in surprise.
Jia Cong suddenly shook his hand at Mu Congying and the others who were facing him, and grinned.
Then he shouted loudly: "Jia Cong, the defender's commander, has spent a lot of money and food for delaying in a decisive battle with the enemy. As a result, all the officials in the court have impeached him for being afraid of the enemy, wasting money and food, and delaying the battle. The emperor decreed that he should be dismissed from office." , escorted back to the capital for trial. Deputy General He Chong will take over as commander and be in charge of future wars."
what?
what?
Not only He Chong and others were confused, but Mu Congying was even more confused.
Can you do this?
"Xie Yuanlang, Uncle Yongfeng, my Third Master Cong, what are you going to do?"
He Chong felt like he was going crazy, this was a war, what was the purpose of this self-destructive behavior?
The scholars on the side immediately panicked. From the outside, 60 of our own people faced 24, and they were obviously going to win.
But they are used to Jia Cong's command, without this coach, how can they fight?
Jia Cong shrugged: "Brother Wenshan, think about it for yourself. If I put the experience before this competition on the real battlefield, will I be impeached for being afraid of the enemy, delaying the fighter, and wasting my time?" Money and food? That’s it, I can no longer stay on the battlefield, and it’s up to you all.”
After all, Jia Cong ignored He Chong who was in deep thought, waved his hands at the two sides, walked south leisurely, and even patted the shoulder of Baoyu who was in a sluggish state...
Is it really like this?
meeting!
As the saint enthroned, the old ministers of Zhaowu slowly left the court, and many new officials who were used to living a peaceful life came up.
They don't know military and military skills, and they don't care about the actual situation on the battlefield. As long as they think they are reasonable, no matter how the generals in front command them, they will try their best to criticize and impeach them.
This time in the Battle of Hexi, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Wang Ziteng deliberately stretched the front line to consume the strength of the Xining Army.
Because it was too far away from the capital, and the actual situation ahead could not be transmitted back to the capital for a while, someone charged Prince Teng with crimes such as fearing the enemy and plotting wrongdoing.
If it weren't for Emperor Shengming, Wang Ziteng would have been escorted back to the capital for trial.If another literati with no knowledge of military or martial arts is sent to oversee the army, He Chong can imagine what kind of tragedy will happen in Hexi.
"Brother Wenshan, how could Uncle Yongfeng do this? Is he deliberately throwing water on the opposite person?"
"Brother Weizhen, think about what happened in the capital a few months ago, is it as Yongfengbo said!"
"This……"
He Chong had heard his grandfather mention this matter many times in the past few days, so he naturally understood the meaning of Jia Cong's words.
He interrupted Tan Qin and Tan Weizhen's complaints, and smiled helplessly: "Get ready for a decisive battle, Uncle Yongfeng is reminding me to wait."
Some people understand, some people don't.
This meeting is no longer important, because the enemy has already set up a battle, and is preparing to launch a general attack when their commander leaves and the army is unstable.
"But how should we fight? Brother Wenshan, how should we fight? Are we still going to fight according to Uncle Yongfeng's previous arrangement?"
He Chong didn't know how to line up troops, but fortunately Jia Cong had already made the arrangements, so the offense and defense would not be chaotic.
He nodded and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please follow Uncle Yongfeng's previous arrangements and stay calm. Don't worry, our number is twice that of the other party. The advantage is mine!"
……
"This He Chong is good. He knows that he doesn't know how to arrange troops and formations, and he doesn't give blind orders. Unfortunately, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the formations and formations of troops must also make corresponding changes with the changes on the battlefield. I still lack insight, fourth child. This child can be cultivated!”
The Supreme Emperor glanced at Jia Cong, who was already sitting by the side eating snacks, and cursed angrily: "This kid just needs to be spanked, and he dares to say anything. When we get back to Beijing, let's see if I don't spank his ass to pieces!"
Liu Heng replied faintly: "Father, my son thinks what he said is right. But when the emperor with a softer ear encountered what happened before, Hexi would be in danger."
"The veteran also believes that what Yongfeng Bo said is very likely to happen, at least it has been recorded in the history books, there are no less than dozens of times."
He Yaomin looked at the gloomy civil servants on the high platform on the left, and said bitterly: "Since the separatism of the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has always said that we should use literature to control military affairs, but there are very few civil servants who are really good at martial arts. If we use civil servants as the commander Supervising the army, are you really alright? The old minister can’t imagine what will happen if Mr. Wang is suddenly recalled during the Battle of Hexi..."
"Report! The winner has been decided in the competition. The dragon flag has been captured. The defenders have been completely wiped out, and only three of the attackers are left."
Habayashiro's sudden report of the battle made He Yaomin close his eyes. He didn't close his eyes because of his grandson's defeat, but brought him into the Battle of Hexi. He couldn't imagine the consequences of Wang Ziteng being impeached and dismissed from office.
The civil servants on the high platform on the left looked even more gloomy, while the generals cheered happily.Some people are complaining about Jia Cong's sudden self-destructive behavior, and some people are thinking about the reasons and effects of Jia Cong's actions.
Jia Cong was still leisurely nibbling on snacks, as if he was not interested in all of this.
The people in the mountain forest soon returned to the main campus, and both the attackers and defenders were dejected.
Even Mu Congying, who came back with the dragon flag, was ashamed and unwilling. After returning the dragon flag, she returned to the team silently, listless.
Did you win?Won, but also lost.
If the brothers hadn't risked their lives in exchange, they probably wouldn't have won the final battle.
The defender's defeat was due to their inability to regard death as home, and Yongfeng Bo retreated before the battle, disrupting their morale, which allowed him to seize the opportunity.
The 24 people broke through the opponent's defense with the force of the formation. The brave man wins when they meet in a narrow road. After all, the literati have not received orthodox military training, and they will not be able to maintain the defensive formation after breaking the formation.
After He Chong found it difficult to command effectively, he could only fight on his own, and was soon defeated one by one by the attackers.
Although relying on the superiority of numbers to fight off [-]% of the opponent's troops, the entire army on his own side was also wiped out.
Alas, it can be said that in this battle, no one won, and everyone lost!
"My great summer sons, raise your heads up!"
Liu Heng looked at the more than a hundred young people who were dejected and felt very happy.
Know your shame and then be brave, you will be a good boy!
Ruo Mu Congying and other generals' nephews would happily stand on the field, and he would have someone send a message to the elders of this group of teenagers, and all of them would be hung on a tree and whipped severely.
As the emperor's voice resounded, everyone raised their heads.
I saw the emperor smiling and comforting the young man with a look of comfort.
"You are all good sons of Daxia. No matter whether you win or lose in the competition, in my heart, you all win. Dare to show your sword when you meet an enemy, and if you can persevere until the last moment, it is a great victory..."
With the comfort of the emperor, the group of young men, regardless of whether they were civil or military, slowly recovered and looked excitedly at the emperor who was wearing a golden dragon robe with a red background on the high platform.
It took the emperor two quarters of an hour to simply review the entire match, and pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of both the offensive and defensive sides.
Although Liu Heng has never actually been on the battlefield, he has a good father.The Supreme Emperor gave his son a detailed analysis of the battle in the mountains and forests from the very beginning, and the young man in the audience was completely impressed by the eloquent emperor.
When Liu Heng convinced the young man in the audience, he turned around and asked the saint, "Would you like to say a few words, Father?"
Jia Cong stroked his growling stomach, crying in his heart.
No, every time the leader asks me to add a few words, an hour passes!He's starving~
The sage master glanced at his son: You have said everything I want to say, and what do you want me to say?
I saw the sage master slowly getting up, looking at the excited young man in the audience with a smile, he waved his hand and said, "Good boys, are you hungry? You are all good boys, I am very satisfied!"
"Long live, long live, long live..."
The teenagers in the audience were praised by the Second Sage, and they would have long forgotten the loss just now, and they all raised their fists and shouted long live.
The smile on Master Sage's face became wider: "I am happy today, come and give me a feast. Today I will have a good drink with the good boys of Daxia!"
……
At the end of the day, no matter whether it is the monarchs, ministers, officials and family members on the stage or the young men who have been fighting fiercely all morning, they are already hungry.
Fortunately, meals were always prepared in the imperial dining room served by the entourage, and following the sage's orders, a banquet was directly set up on the campus.
Jia Cong, who was happily holding a chicken leg in his hand and chewing on it, was inadvertently carried to the front of the palace by Cao Dudu.
Accompanying the two saints at the meal were the princes of the clan and important officials in the court, including King Liu Huai of Hebei, Duke Zhang Yue of England, Xia Lingxing, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, He Yaomin, Minister of Rites, and so on.
Jia Cong gnawed the chicken leg in his hand in two or three bites, wiped his mouth and bowed in salute.
"Master Saint, are you calling me?"
The Supreme Emperor pointed at the British Duke Zhang Yue: "Tell Zhang Qing, if you had stayed and continued to command, would the victory or defeat have changed?"
Jia Cong shook his head without hesitation: "It's hard! The chance of winning is less than [-]%."
Zhang Yue nodded, and smiled at Master Saint. This result was within the prediction range of the two.
He Yaomin was a little puzzled: "How could it be? If Uncle Yongfeng hadn't left, Wenshan and the others wouldn't have lost their morale. At least it wouldn't be a problem to hold the dragon flag."
"Master He made a mistake. No matter whether I leave or not, as long as Mu Congying and the others set up an army formation and charge forward, these scholars who have never received military training will not be able to maintain the hastily built military spirit at all. .”
Jia Cong thought for a while, and added: "Of course, there is a chance to win. As long as I kill Mu Congying, the main general, from the very beginning, the winning rate will increase by at least [-]%. The grandson of Mr. Qian is a good one." He is the key to maintaining the morale of the attacking side, if we eliminate him, maybe the attacking side will collapse without a fight."
He Yaomin thought of Mu Congying's performance in the competition and couldn't help but nod: "That's true. This boy is worthy of being a descendant of Prince Mu's palace. He is a good young man. But why didn't Uncle Yongfeng do this?"
Jia Cong looked at the civil and military disciples who were gradually becoming harmonious under the high platform, and replied with a smile: "I just want to try and see if I can make them understand that war is not a one-man show for military generals or civil servants. Daxia needs two legs. walk!"
