Chapter 531 The old general's conspiracy

When Mianchi City was surrounded by fire, the Alliance Chief Manager Guo Ming and Xiahou Zhe commanded the Alliance's first, second, fourth and fifth armies to dig trenches on the avenue eight miles east of Mianchi. They dug a two-meter trenches every fifty steps. A simple Malu Village was set up between the trenches. The road was surrounded by hills and woods, and weeds were growing. It was late summer and the weather was hot and dry. The Alliance army immediately chose some dense places to sprinkle tinder oil, preparing to ignite the mountains and forests in critical situations. The Alliance army adapted to local conditions and exhausted all ways to block the Xijing army. At the same time, it tried every means to reduce its own losses to preserve its strength to the greatest extent.

Li Fengyun and Li Mi sent a messenger to go down the Gushui to find Yang Xuangan and told the situation of the Mianchi. Wei Wensheng has been surrounded and the food and weapons of the Xijing army have also been cut off. Next, they will break through. Facing the desperate, extremely vicious and crazy opponent who fights with their lives, Li Fengyun and Li Mi beg Yang Xuangan to devote all their strength to fight in blood and wipe out the Xijing army at all costs.

On the morning of June 29, on the morning of June 29, on the battlefield of Gu Bobi, the two sides of the warring sides were not exhausted, but instead became more and more brave, and the sound of killing was shocking. The battlefield was narrow and the troops were limited. Whether it was the Xijing army or the Mutiny Allied Army, the generals had to take turns to fight. The soldiers' abundant physical strength made the battle extremely fierce, and the two sides were stalemate, but the more they did not dare to relax. At this time, whoever relaxed first and retreated one after another would be defeated. This defeat was dangerous and it was very likely that the defeat would be as if the soldiers were defeated.

Wei Wensheng had not slept all night, and he couldn't hold on after dawn. He lay on the table and took a nap. However, after waking up, the situation of the battle changed and turned upside down.

"Mianchi lost?" Wei Wensheng was still lying on the table, still dozing, and had not yet fully woken up from his ignorance. He could not even believe that Ming Ya, the Minister of War, who was standing in front of him, told him with his tired, hoarse, anxious and urgent voice, "Is all the food and fodder lost?"

Wei Wensheng sat up straight, thought for a moment with expressionless face, then looked at Mingya, "An Degong, the news is accurate? Have you verified it?"

"I have sent people to rush to Mianchi." Mingya sighed frustrated, "The news is not wrong. It is said that the raging fire has burned half of the sky red, and can be seen more than ten miles away. The nearest post station to Mianchi immediately sent people to inquire. On the way, I met some fugitives and found out that Mianchi was attacked. Then I saw a fully armed guard chasing from the direction of Mianchi to the near post station and quickly blocked the avenue."

"Guardian? Our army?" Wei Wensheng turned his eyes to Wei Jin, the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department, and Du Yan, the Censor of the Censor, who was standing beside Mingya, with his eyes shining cold.

Last night, there were many troops outside the city of Mianchi City. Among them, the army of Zheng Yuanshou, the army of the right guard general Zheng Yuanshou, outside the city, the army of Dugu Wudu, the commander of Jingzhao Dudu, and the Jingzhao local army led by Wei Fuzhu, the Jingzhao Zanwu, which was responsible for escorting food and supplies. In other words, if the fall of Mianchi was caused by an insider, it must be related to them. It is either one of the three of them or the subordinate of someone, and the most suspected of it is Wei Fuzhu.

Wei Fuzhuan's cousin was King Yang Nan. The case of King Qi's "unethic" broke out in the east of the capital last year. The direct reason for this case was that King Qi Yang Nan had an affair with Princess Wei's sister and had a daughter. Princess Wei's sister had already married into the Yuan family. The relationship between King Qi and his sister-in-law was "adultery", which was depressed and despised, and King Qi fell out of favor. In the past, the wealthy family of Guanzhong was the greatest support force of the King of Qi, but as the King of Qi gradually lost the right to inherit the imperial power, the support for him in Guanzhong's Wei's support for him rapidly declined. At present, only Princess Wei's room continues to support him. The important figures currently active in the court are Wei Fuzi, Wei Fusi, and Wei Fuzhuan.

After the outbreak of the Dongdu storm, the "active performance" of King Yang Nan of Qi was extremely eye-catching and attracted attention. Many people even suspected that behind the Yang Xuangan mutiny was the shadow of King Yang Nan of Qi. King Qi was very likely to use this mutiny to enter Beijing to seize the imperial regime. The situation has developed to the present. Although the King of Qi is still in Liyang, there are already "signs" of entering Beijing to seize the imperial regime, which forced the provinces and various reinforcements to do their best to prevent the King of Qi from entering Beijing, and suppressing the rebels and suppressing the thieves has become a secondary task.

Wei Wensheng and Xijing also had the same suspicion. At this moment, the Xijing army was fighting bloody with Yang Xuangan. It was the critical moment when the Xijing army entered the battlefield of Dongdu. Something happened in Mianchi. The food and supplies were burned, the retreat was cut off, and they were stabbed hard in the back. It was a fatal knife. This forced Wei Wensheng to use the greatest malicious intentions to guess the real intention of the attackers behind him. He had to use conspiracy theories to explain this incredible thing. If the King of Qi Yang Nan and Yang Xuangan joined forces to create the Dongdu Storm, if they won the support of the Wei family in Guanzhong and reached an agreement with the local aristocratic group in Guanlong in terms of political interests, then this was a conspiracy, a great conspiracy to completely wipe out the Xijing army, seize the imperial rule, overthrow the Holy Lord, and split the country.

When Wei Jin and Du Yan first heard this amazing news, their first reaction was that someone was betrayal of the inside, and the first person they thought of was Wei Fo Prize, but they immediately denied it.

The Wei family in Guanzhong is a whole. Even if each house and branch cannot share life and death, there are contradictions and conflicts in interest demands. However, in the position of dealing with this storm, the opinions are unified and the decisions are consistent. Wei Fusi and Wei Fuzhu brothers cannot ignore the entire Wei family for their own selfish interests. Besides, the King of Qi has not yet entered the capital, but the navy has supported it. The King of Qi has actually lost the best opportunity to enter the capital, and Wei Fuzhu is clear about this. Since the King of Qi has been "surrounded" by various reinforcements, since

The possibility of the King of Qi and Yang Xuangan joining forces to control the "storm" is very small, and even the development of the entire situation is not conducive to the Wei Shi in Guanzhong taking the opportunity to destroy Dongdu. Even if Wei Fuzhuo has selfish intentions and has different ideas, he has to give up at this moment. In other words, he has no reason to betray the Wei Shi in Guanzhong, and no reason to stab the Xijing army in the back. Even if he is crazy and wants to commit suicide in this incredible way, he will not help Yang Xuangan kill tens of thousands of Xijing soldiers, nor will he bring Wei Shi and Guanlong local nobles to him to bury him.

Seeing the "cold light" in Wei Wensheng's eyes, Wei Jin and Du Yan knew what Wei Wensheng was thinking, so Wei Jin sneered without hesitation, "Duke of the same track, not all the Wei Mansion soldiers in yellow uniforms. Look at Yang Xuangan's rebels, what is the difference between them and the Wei Mansion soldiers? Armor, weapons, armor, and even flags are exactly the same."

"Our attack speed is too fast. We chased Qianqiu Ting and Gu Bobi without a moment of pause. People did not take off their armor, and they did not stop. The wind and lightning were flying. Our soldiers were also arrogant and arrogant, following the rebels, chasing and chasing relentlessly, thinking that the rebels were vulnerable, and they didn't realize that Yang Xuangan was also a man-eating wolf." Du Yan's spearhead pointed directly at Wei Wensheng, and his words revealed his strong dissatisfaction with Wei Wensheng, and even pushed the responsibility of the Xijing army to today's crisis to Wei Wensheng.

Wei Wensheng had no expression on his face, and his emotions were not reflected in his expression, but the murderous aura in his eyes was restrained. Obviously, after he was clear-headed, he quickly made an analysis and had no intention of wasting his limited energy and time on meaningless things. Now it is meaningful to investigate the culprit? Can he reverse the crisis and get rid of the predicament? The most urgent task is to burn out food and grass when the army is in a desperate situation, and immediately come up with a strategy to survive, otherwise the entire army will be wiped out.

Wei Wensheng concentrating and pondering. Mingya, Wei Jin and Du Yan looked grim and stopped talking. At this moment, the importance of Wei Wensheng, the old army of war, was highlighted. At the moment of life and death, the prestige and interests of officials and titles are not important. What is important is how to survive. However, based on the strategy of military strategy alone, the old general undoubtedly has absolute authority.

After a long time, Mingya finally couldn't help but speak, "The terrain of the Mian line is complex and the mountains are steep. If Yang Xuangan had already decided to fight us in a decisive battle outside Hangu Pass, he would be very likely to ambush the troops on both sides of the Gushui River first. After we entered his encirclement, his ambush troops would come out to cut off our retreat and complete our encirclement." Mingya glanced at the calm Wei Wensheng, and looked guilty. "We did look down on Yang Xuangan. Yesterday's attack speed was too fast and it was so powerful that we were neglecting to guard against him, and as a result, we accidentally fell into Yang Xuangan's trap."

Wei Wensheng looked up at Mingya with cold eyes. Mingya's words sounded like self-blame and a review, but in fact they denied the decision made by the commander-in-chief to directly kill Hangu Pass yesterday. At that time, Wei Jin and Du Yan both opposed it and demanded to slow down the attack speed, but Wei Wensheng and him insisted on speeding up. As a result, it was proved that Wei Wensheng and him were wrong. It is conceivable how much resentment Wei Jin and Du Yan were at this moment, and they might even have the desire to kill. This is obviously not conducive to the unity within the commander-in-chief, so Mingya had to lower her posture to win the concerted efforts of Wei Jin and Du Yan.

Wei Wensheng had no intention of "compromising". Although he fully recognized Mingya's analysis, he believed that the ambush that attacked Mianchi should be Yang Xuangan's ambush. The Xijing army was indeed surrounded by rebels, and the military supplies were cut off. The situation was very critical, but he did not think that the Xijing army was in a desperate situation. On the contrary, he was an excellent fighter. He would rather be wiped out in the army, rather than burning all the jades and stones to severely damage Yang Xuangan. After Yang Xuangan's loss of heavy strength, it would be difficult to enter Guanzhong again. It would be a dream to fight with the Holy Lord.

Wei Wensheng only wants to be the final winner of this storm, and the outcome of the battle in front of him doesn't matter to him. So what if Yang Xuangan wins? Yang Xuangan wins this battle but loses the entire mutiny, which is not worth the loss. However, the situation of burning both jade and stone is too expensive for Xijing. The Xijing army will definitely be very little left after this battle. Therefore, Wei Wensheng will never reveal his true thoughts, and will not make any "compromise" to Wei Jin and Du Yan. On the contrary, he must be extremely strong, take full advantage of this rare opportunity in front of him to firmly grasp the command, and use this life-and-death crisis to suppress Wei Jin and Du Yan, so that they will not have any chance to restrain themselves. In this way, this decisive battle is in his palm, and Yang Xuangan is his belonging.
