Chapter 395: What a Heroic Thing
Li Jingxuan sneered and looked at the Prince of Badong again. This time, the Prince of Badong finally met his eyes!
Li Jingxuan was very happy in his heart; he knew that the Prince of Badong had already developed doubts.
Although the Prince of Badong had clearly said last night that even if Wang Yang suggested delaying the departure from Jingzhou, it couldn't explain anything. But his analysis last night still left a shadow in the Prince of Badong's heart.
Wang Yang, oh Wang Yang, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for harboring different intentions and delaying the dispatch of troops, don't blame me......
"The method of using troops has slow and fast.
The slow one is when the offensive and defensive situations are different and cannot be pulled out suddenly, so one should slow down to trap them;
The fast one is when the timing and human affairs are urgent, so one should take them quickly.
Now our Prince is raising troops in the western state, aiming for replacement, this is the time when heaven commands me to be fast!
Wenyang is a remote county, relying on the corner to defend itself, this situation leaves me the benefit of slowness!
How can there be anyone in the world who releases the urgency of burning eyebrows to plan for the slowness of scabies?"
Xue Shao asked Wang Yang loudly.
Before, regarding the matter of recruiting troops, the Prince of Badong highly praised Wang Yang, saying that with Wang Yang's great talent, handling this matter was easy. Although he also praised Wang Yang a few words in order to shift the blame, he felt it was difficult to handle, but it was easy for Wang Yang to handle. In front of so many people, how could he feel good? Therefore, he was the first to stand up and make trouble.
He originally thought that Wang Yang's argument this time was obviously fallacious! He occupied the reason, his words were firm, and he could be said to be invincible. Unexpectedly, Wang Yang answered:
"You know the urgency of burning eyebrows, but you don't know that burning eyebrows may not kill you;
You know the slowness of scabies, but you don't know that the slowness of scabies can also kill you.
The flame of the eyebrow is suddenly fierce, only scorching the skin and hair, looking terrifying, but not hurting the muscles and bones; although fierce, it is not dangerous.
Scabies disease grows secretly, gradually entering the skin, initially looking like no hindrance, but eventually eroding the bones; although small, it is dangerous.
Now Wenyang County, although the land is remote and the city is isolated, Wang Yi holds the imperial court's flag, and the name can be entrusted! Liu Cheng possesses his father's old troops, and the strength can be relied upon!
These two people are like scabies growing on the skin, looking small at first glance, but they are connected by blood vessels and meridians. If they spread, they will be difficult to control!
Therefore, a good doctor treats illness, not ignoring it because it is small;
A good commander plans, not omitting it because it is small.
If you take advantage of their isolated situation, low morale, and weak voice to eliminate them in one fell swoop, that is removing scabies at the beginning and brushing off dust before it accumulates!
If you say slow it down, the disaster will be hidden in the armpit. Once the ulcer becomes a disease and the poison spreads, the skin and body will be sick, and the five internal organs will be injured, then the harm will definitely be worse than burning eyebrows!
I don't know if Secretary Xue agrees?"
Xue Shao: Grass.......
Here it comes again!
This is really evil. I clearly know in my heart that leaving Jingzhou first is the right path, but after he said it like this, why do I feel it makes some sense!!!
How should I answer this???
Xue Shao felt that if he were given a little more time, he should be able to think of powerful refutations, but in the Q&A in the seat, where is the gap? He could only thicken his skin and pretend to be thoughtful without answering, while urgently starting his brain.
The Prince of Badong listened to the two people's Q&A and fell into thought.
Chen Qiming finally found an opportunity to save face and take revenge!
If he had acted according to his previous style, he would have been the first to stand up and point at Wang Yang, just like when discussing military affairs before.
But after the last "painful" lesson, even if he determined that the strategy Wang Yang offered was a bad strategy! He still didn't take the lead. Because he wanted to understand Wang Yang's thoughts before making a decision.
Now with Xue Shao's probing, he already understood Wang Yang's intention! However, he also knew that it was difficult to play with rhetoric better than Wang Yang, so he avoided the topic of burning eyebrows and scabies slowness and said from another angle:
"Your uncle and Liu Cheng's plans are exhausted, their edges are exhausted, they want to fight but lack strength, they want to run but lack momentum. So they are trapped in an isolated city, just to survive.
However, a trapped beast still fights, and a desperate struggle in a dead end, Wenyang has not fallen until now, which already shows that the city cannot be pulled out suddenly.
If you drive a large army to face it, once you are stuck in a strong city, you can't attack it, the army will be old under the city, the sharpness will be worn away, externally the Taiwan army will press, internally the hearts of the people will be shaken, internally and externally will be sent together, what will happen to the matter?
This reason is clear, although I am a mediocre talent in documents, I also know its danger!
Young Master Wang's talent and strategy are high, observing the deep and observing the micro, how can you be blind to this?
If you know it clearly and pretend to be blind, then you have other plans; if you are really ignorant and don't notice, it contradicts the reality of your talent and strategy.
I am very confused about this!"
What is the way to avoid being blackened?
It is self-blackening.
Aren't you blackening my talent for documents? Fine, this time you don't need to blacken me, I blackened myself! Let's see how you blacken me!
Everyone thought that Chen Qiming's words were powerful, and didn't know what response Wang Yang could think of.
Wang Yang smiled and said slowly:
"Since you admit your talent for documents, and can recognize that 'this reason is clear', I admire it very much—"
Before Wang Yang finished a sentence, the Prince of Badong couldn't help but laugh.
Tao Rui and Xue Shao also couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Qiming's face turned black.
Li Jingxuan thought: This person's mouth is really damaging......
Only hearing Wang Yang continue:
"—Before I said you only know one, not the other,
Now it is the same.
You only know that the city cannot be pulled out suddenly, but you don't know why it cannot be pulled out suddenly?
You only know that you can't attack it, and the army will be old under the city; but you don't know that you can definitely attack it, and our army doesn't have to be old.
The reason why Wenyang can defend until today, the most important thing is not how strong the city is, how many troops there are, but because the situation has not arrived.
In the past, the Prince newly broke Wang Yi and Zhang Jue, aiming to seize land.
At that time, the state was not attached, and the various counties were watching; the Prince swept away like the wind, taking advantage of the victory, and had no time to focus on the corner of Wenyang.
And the people of Wenyang also knew that our Prince's momentum of driving straight in was not in one city, so they could focus on defending and luckily survived.
This is what is called knowing that the self is not the first strike, so the heart has something to rely on;
Knowing that I have no must-take, so the ambition can be slightly complete.
This is not their ability to defend, but because they know I am not in a hurry to attack......"
The Prince of Badong listened to Wang Yang saying "our Prince" and so on, feeling secretly refreshed in his heart, and after listening to the end, he really listened! He nodded thoughtfully.
The staff members also couldn't help but frown and think, bowing their heads and pondering.
Even Li Jingxuan felt a move in his heart, and after careful consideration, it seemed that it might really be the case!
In ancient and modern times, the key to planning a country is to examine the situation. Disaster and happiness, success and failure, life and death, all depend on this.
Is it war or peace? Is it advance or retreat? Left or right? Take the strong or take the weak? A difference in thought, a loss of a thousand miles. The key to a few words is the comparison of heaven and earth. Or because the enemy is still strong, so abandon armor and surrender, not knowing the enemy is already exhausted and unbearable; or because he is sincere in alliance, holding hands and living in peace, not knowing he harbors evil intentions and aims to swallow you.
If Liu Cheng and Wang Yi were in the seat and heard this analysis of the situation, this argument that hits the nail on the head, and pointed out the key to why they have been able to persist until now, I am afraid they would change their faces and be cold in body and mind.
Wang Yang changed the subject when he said this, his voice turned clear:
"Now the situation is different. The whole territory of Jingzhou is pacified, only Wenyang has not fallen. The Prince's army has not arrived, only holding on with a partial division, and there has been no merit or demerit until now. This is a sign of both offensive and defensive laziness.
He relies on a protracted war, harboring a fluke mentality, thinking that our Prince's great army, once it moves east, will surely have no time to attend to other matters. If the Prince ignores him, it will be exactly what he hopes for!
As long as their food and grass are not exhausted and their morale is not exhausted, they will resist to the end, how can they be taken suddenly?
But if the Prince brings a large army and goes, saying he must take it! They will hear it and must say to each other:
The previous luck was because the Prince put his urgency first and his slowness later, and the slowness was on me; now the large army is here, the slowness has become urgency, and the urgency is on me! He must want to get me and be willing!
The reason they could defend before was just relying on having a way to live;
Now the way to live is cut off, morale is lost, even if there is a strong city, who will defend it with them?
And they have been trapped for days, troops damaged and generals tired. Our large army is newly out, pointing directly at the isolated city, attacking fiercely, this is the momentum of a flood to collapse an ant hole!
A long knife breaks bamboo, it must collapse itself!
Judging by Yang, within seven days, this city will be broken!"
Chen Qiming was just wondering how to refute, and when he heard the last sentence, he immediately grabbed it and asked:
"What if the city is not broken within seven days?"
Wang Yang raised his eyebrows:
"If it is not broken in seven days, I will cut off your head first."
Everyone:???
Chen Qiming pointed at Wang Yang angrily: "You you—"
Wang Yang's face turned cold, his eyes like frosted blades, and he shouted:
"If the large army is sent, the ambition is to sweep and settle!
You don't discuss the strategy with a public heart, but when you hear my seven-day judgment, you are eager to bet and ask, isn't it secretly hoping for military frustration and gloating over others' misfortune?!
Since you know you are a talent for documents, when you encounter major discussions in the tent and major military opportunities, you should shrink your head and watch the success, and wait for the decision in silence! How dare you wag your tongue and lips to interfere with the great plan?!
Now you speak without shape, if you entrust the name to the public, I can still bear it a little;
But if you are venting anger for private intentions and frustrating the crowd before the battle, then death is not a pity!
After you die, I will ask the commander to attack the city. If it is not broken in three days, I will decide before the city! I will not let you die alone!
Do you dare to answer?"
Wang Yang was as majestic as a god in the Yidu barbarians, and his words were followed by law. Tens of thousands of people, decided in one word; the three barbarian chieftains, running to his face! At this time, his eyes were like electricity, his power suddenly appeared, and it was different from before he went out, when he shocked Liu Yin and the officials in his home.
Chen Qiming was scared on the spot! His spirit was shocked, and he couldn't put words together. If Wang Yang had a sword on his body and stood up with the sword, Chen Qiming might have been scared to fall on his seat directly!
Everyone saw this and couldn't help but feel cold, and four words popped up in their hearts—Langya Wang family!
Only Li Jingxuan had another four words in his heart—What a heroic thing!
Fortunately, the Prince already had a decision, not letting him hold military power......
"No, no! Even if he agrees, I don't agree!"
The Prince of Badong waved his hand and argued.
"Just a city, if it's not broken, it's not broken, how can you commit suicide! Your Wang Zhiyan's life is more valuable than one hundred Wenyang cities! You are such a smart person, betting on this with him, you lost a lot!"
The Prince of Badong stared with tiger eyes, paused, and suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Not only did you lose a lot! I lost even more!"
He pointed at Chen Qiming and scolded:
"You discuss strategy, don't mix it with guns and sticks! Damn, don't say Zhiyan can't bear it, even I can't bear it! Apologize to Zhiyan immediately!"
He scolded while winking at Chen Qiming.
Chen Qiming was originally cold-hearted, and after being scolded by the Prince of Badong, he hurriedly admitted defeat and apologized to Wang Yang.
This admission of defeat actually felt okay. Perhaps he was really scared, or perhaps he had the experience of being hung and beaten last time, so his acceptance was higher this time, or perhaps he just accepted his fate. But regardless of the reason, there was the factor of the Prince winking at him. Seeing this move made him feel that the Prince regarded him as his own person, scolding him on the surface and protecting him in secret, so although he was biased, he still felt a trace of warmth in his heart.
Wang Yang just said that if the city was not broken in seven days, he would supervise the attack himself, and gave a three-day deadline. If it were someone else, the staff would definitely question: Why? If you can't break it in seven days, you can break it yourself? What more do you have?
But at this time, no one came out to say this, not only did they not say this, but no one even thought so. It seems that everyone defaulted that since Wang Yang dared to say so, there must be his reason. Maybe people have strategies, maybe people know how to attack cities.....
Seeing three and being able to push ten, this is heaven-sent. Seeing three and being able to push six, this is also a talent. Seeing three and knowing four or five, this is upper-middle and ordinary people. If you see three and only know three, then it's a bit dull. As for seeing three, but like seeing two, or even not having two, only seeing one, that is not enlightened.
The staff in the seat could not see three and know ten like Xiao Luan, but they were at least above ordinary people, among talents. So far, according to what Wang Yang showed, observing this person and this talent, seeing three and knowing six, everyone felt that Wang Yang might have a way to break the city in his chest—
It's just that for them, even if there is a way to break the city, it is not enough to change the great strategy of going east.
Therefore, Tao Rui spoke. ===== CHAPTER 396 =====
