Luoshui Dongliu

It was already night, and the lights in the Xiyan army tent were still bright.During the day, the siege of the city was blocked, and everyone was worried, with a gloomy look on their faces.Yu Chiyuan was also irritable in his heart, seeing this scene he couldn't help cursing inwardly, everyone was incompetent before the battle, what's the use of frowning at this moment.But I can't complain anymore, let alone discourage the people, so I can only say calmly: "It is expected that Luocheng will be difficult to capture, and you don't need to be discouraged by this. This city is already in front of us. It’s just because there are some hard thorns on it, it takes a little patience to hold it in the palm. In this way, it’s easy to plan.” Looking around the crowd, he said, “Today we know that there are too many weak points to attack by force. Then let’s find another way. This is the time for you to come up with your ideas.”

This last sentence was soft but hard, and after finishing speaking, he looked around his audience.Everyone also heard the overtones, thought about it, and responded after a while.Several people talked for a long while, Yu Chiyuan shook his head when he heard it, and finally an elderly general said: "General Yuchi and Supervisor Pei still remember how they captured Yicheng back then?"

Yuchi Fuji segregated Guanlong, and after gaining a firm foothold, he was committed to expanding eastward, and Jinnan Yicheng was one of them.At that time, the general who was in charge of Yicheng was not well-known during the battle, but he was very good at defending the city.More than a dozen enemy towers were built along the city wall, and there were countless bunkers under the city, and Yuchi's many times the number of troops were unable to attack them for days.Later, an old guide offered advice to dig a trench on the position and lead directly to the city.The defenders on the city watched helplessly as the trench approached, and the nearest one was only ten feet away from the city.The arrows under the city were helpless against the enemy in the trench, but the Xiyan army advanced along it and then set up siege towers and ladders, and finally captured Yicheng.Afterwards, Yuchi Fuji presented the old guide with a hundred gold and praised him as "a strange man in southern Jin".

This part of the origin story was also talked about by everyone, but the capture of Yicheng, although there were some twists and turns during the period, was not too strenuous, and as time passed, no one remembered it.At this moment, Na Pian Jiang brought it up again. After hearing this, Pei Yu recalled all the ins and outs at that time, nodded and said: "This method can indeed be tried."

So he ordered the guards to bring a map of Luocheng, and everyone approached to point out the terrain around the city.Pei Yu thought for a moment, then drew several paths on it according to the terrain, and said: "Tomorrow, 1 people will be ordered to dig trenches around the city. The 1 people will be on duty in three shifts. After the first round, the number of excavations will be reported, and the military order will be issued to set the construction period. The excavated soil will also be kept, and will be piled up at the bottom of the city for climbing the city. For work."

Yu Chiyuan said again: "You can't slack off the siege of the city. Even if you only do a small group of tests, you have to stop day and night. The four cities take turns to move, and you can't keep the city safe for a while. Do both."

Everyone was ordered to prepare overnight. Seeing that the generals had retreated, Yu Chiyuan said to Pei Yu, "If there is any urging from the grand master recently, please tell the supervising army about the current situation on the battlefield."

Pei Yu said indifferently: "I have never received an order from the grand master, if there is, it should be sent to the general."

Yu Chiyuan glanced at him slightly, and said with a smile: "I already know now that the Supervising Army is a kind person."

Pei Yu said: "A few days ago, His Majesty bestowed upon the daughter of Taiyuan Wang's family to marry the gentleman of your family, which shows how much he attaches great importance to the general."

Yu Chiyuan smiled and sighed: "The supervising army is very well-informed, I am only a little afraid to accept such an honor, so I am even more worried, fearing that I will fail the kindness of your majesty and brother."

He said this in his mouth, but he laughed in his heart. Although everyone in the world said that it is a great honor to marry a noble family, he didn't take it seriously.Not to mention that the Wang family in Taiyuan is now showing signs of decline, even if the Min family in Longxi is in full swing, the marriages of their children are just for the sake of nepotism.Now His Majesty is bestowing a marriage on Yuchi's family, but why did he marry the Min family back then because of Yuchi's extreme coercion?He shook his head secretly, and didn't continue talking.But when he thought of Empress Min, something flashed in his mind, and he said, "I see that the superintendent seems to appreciate Min Yu very much."

Pei Yu said, "What does the general think of him?"

Yu Chiyuan smiled and said, "Sir, you can't be wrong. Heroes come from teenagers."

Pei Yu looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "I just think he's smart, but I don't have much to appreciate him. He's still young and unsteady, so he's useless right now."

When Yu Chiyuan saw him say this, it was obviously for his own peace of mind.If Pei Yu wants to support and assist in the army, as long as it is not too much, he can't be too obstructive.He also knew that Min Yu was still just a young man, no matter how much the supervisor valued him, he would not be able to replace him now.Pei Yu is willing to cultivate in this way, perhaps because he has a long view and is determined to teach a student who will inherit the mantle.

So he also laughed and said: "In the future, if you practice more, there will always be a day when you will achieve great things."

Seeing that the night was dark, the two went out of the tent while talking.After walking a few steps, I saw Min Yu outside.Yu Chiyuan saw it and said with a smile: "The supervisor and I were talking about you just now."

Seeing this, Min Yu hurriedly saluted, "General." Then he turned to Pei Yu and said, "Sir."

Hearing this address, Yu Chiyuan couldn't help but glance at Min Yu.Min Yu didn't realize it, Pei Yu saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Min Yu said, "I have something to say to my husband."

Pei Yu was about to speak, when Wei Chiyuan suddenly interjected, "I wonder if it's a business or private matter?" Without waiting for Min Yu's answer, he smiled and said, "If it's a private matter, that's fine. If it's a business matter, I'll listen to you too."

When Pei Yu heard this, he felt something was wrong.Just now, Wei Chiyuan's words were in and out, but he was a little dissatisfied with Min Yu getting close to him; he naturally didn't care whether Yu Chiyuan was willing, but he didn't want Min Yu to cause trouble because of this guy.At this time, I was about to turn away from the conversation, but I saw Min Yu frowned, seemed to grit his teeth slightly, and lowered his head and said, "I saw the situation before the battle during the day, and I have something to say." Then he raised his head and said, "Several times with When confronting an enemy, there are always people who do not have orders in front of the battle. If one person is in disorder, they will disturb the front line. Half of the soldiers who went out this time have never been in battle. Although it is natural for recruits to panic when they meet in front of the battle, they cannot be left alone. .If the order is serious, it is not impossible to restrain it. First, we must step up drills from time to time so that the soldiers know how to respond before the battle; second, we must be severely punished," he paused for a while, and said, "Actually ...There is a precedent for this in the army. The general governs the army generously, but this battle is of great importance, so we cannot... treat it as usual."

His words fell for a long time, and the three of them were speechless.Min Yu bowed his head and saluted without moving, Yu Chiyuan's expression was serious, Pei Yu turned his eyes slightly.After a long while, Yu Chiyuan said with a smile on his face: "Wen Ran, what you said is good. I was also thinking that this time I am digging a trench on one side, and on the other hand, I am stepping up the training of the team." He added, "Actually, your troops, When you are in a stalemate before the formation, you can do it without orders, without giving an inch. I will take a closer look at how you write down your soldiers on weekdays."

Min Yu whispered, "Yes."

Yu Chiyuan still smiled and said: "It's getting late, let's go back and have a rest." After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly to Pei Yu, turned and left.Pei Yu whispered coldly to Min Yu behind him, "You come to my tent."

Min Yu followed Pei Yu into the tent, and when he saw Pei Yu raised his hand to screen people out, he felt uneasy at first, and felt even more anxious at this moment, standing at the door and not going in again.

Pei Yu didn't sit down either, but looked at him, pointed to the empty space in the tent and said, "Come here."

Min Yu had no choice but to go over and stand still with his head bowed, and for a while he heard Pei Yu laughing: "I only found out today how far-sighted and broad-minded a child of this family is." He said: "Mister..." After a while, seeing that Pei Yu had turned his back and did not respond to him, he finally couldn't stand the cold confrontation, and said through gritted teeth, "Mister is annoyed at me, so teach me what I did wrong first."

Hearing that he was wronged at this time, Pei Yu asked "what's wrong", he couldn't help but turned his head and said with a smile: "Wen Ran, I don't care how well-behaved you are with your parents, brothers and aunts, but I don't like that. If you want to ask me, where did the cleverness go?"

Min Yu's face was red and white, his eyes were watery, and sweat was already dripping on his forehead.Pei Yu looked at him for a moment, then said, "You haven't done anything wrong, or if you refuse to accept my teaching and punish you, then go out with me now."

When Min Yu heard this, he was startled for a moment, then lowered his eyes, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Don't dare." After a moment of silence, he murmured: "Sir... getting angry will hurt you."

His words were not pretentious, but he felt awkward when he said them, so he blushed even more and lowered his head.I only heard Pei Yu ask: "You can talk about the matter just now."

Min Yu said in a low voice: "In fact, everyone can understand the disadvantages of being lenient and strict in training in the military. I am a late student of the younger generation, so I am not qualified to comment on it."

Pei Yu said: "So you understand it in your heart. Do you know how much taboo you have committed against General Yuchi today?"

Min Yu said in a low voice: "I only know that in front of the Luocheng defenders, but I won't fool around just to give anyone's face."

Pei Yu said: "Your words are not false. Someone should say this, but it's not you. It's a one-on-one battle at this time, and you have to think about it, you will be in this army for a long time in the future."

This is all he said, longing for the depths, and he can't say any more about those words that are more beautiful than forests, and those who act high and invite disaster.The world may think that he doesn't care about these things because of his temperament, but they don't know how much he suffered because of this when he was in the lower position; it's just that he was born with such a harsh temperament, which can't be changed after all, and the more he is suppressed, the sharper his edge will be; But looking at Min Yu now, he still doesn't want him to suffer those hardships in vain.

Only Min Yu said: "I have no disrespect to General Yuchi. What I said today is just for business."

Hearing this, Pei Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "You actually trust his heart."

Min Yu paused for a moment, then said: "Being loyal is not flattering, and treachery is not telling the truth. Since your majesty and grand master's wish is the world, they will not tolerate a few truthful words."

The voice of this remark was not high, but Pei Yu was taken aback when he heard it.After a long silence, he raised his hand to help Min Yu and said, "Get up, you shouldn't say this while kneeling."

Seeing Min Yu standing up, he still didn't dare to raise his head, so he couldn't help but slightly lower his head to look into his eyes.I saw that young man's eyes were as clear as a clear pool, completely untainted.He didn't know whether the boy's words and deeds at this time were due to his heart, or just because he was young and ignorant.Should I teach him how to be flexible, or should I protect this magnanimous heart?Pei Yu sighed in his heart, it turned out that the simpler and clearer things are in this world, the more difficult it is to make a decision sometimes.

Thinking in his heart, he raised his voice to call Li Ji in and said, "Bring the cushion."

Li Ji glanced at the tent, he was a bit stunned and guessed eighty-nine.Min Yu was still in a daze, Li Ji had brought the cushion in, put it down and turned to go out.Pei Yu had already sat down and said, "Sit down."

Min Yu looked at his expression, and said carefully, "Sir, have you calmed down?"

Pei Yu smiled lightly and said, "Do you have anything else to say?" Seeing Min Yu shaking his head vigorously but standing still, he beckoned, "Come here, I have something to say."

Seeing his gentle expression, Min Yu was relieved most of his heart.Pursing his lips, he also walked over, and seeing Pei Yu lightly raised his hand and nodded in front of him, he couldn't help but smile shyly, and said, "There is no seat for me in front of you, sir." After finishing speaking, he did not refuse.

I only heard Pei Yu say: "It's good for you to be open-minded, but I also remind you that this openness should not be used by others. If a gentleman initiates stupidity, it is only a thousand times worse than that villain's filth." Said, "You look for an opportunity to confess your crime to General Yuchi, and you don't have to say too much. You are a well-behaved person, so I don't need to teach you how to say it. You have these leisurely thoughts of exceeding your authority, and today's affairs will be fine; But don't let me catch the wrong thing that you should do tomorrow."

Min Yu hurriedly said: "Yes." Then he said, "I will definitely not teach you to worry."

Pei Yu saw that the shock on Min Yu's face had not completely subsided, but there was no sign of separation in his expression.He smiled lightly and said, "Go."

At that moment, Li Ji saw that Min Yu had gone, and Fang entered the account.Unexpectedly, I saw Pei Yu's expressionless face. I didn't know why, but I felt that I should say something. After thinking for a while, I smiled and said: "Just now I saw General Min leave, and his face was still a little pale. I don't know how Mr. gone?"

Pei Yu glanced at him and said, "If you see me, you'll know that I'm just putting on a show today."

Li Jidao: "General Min didn't expect to go through this, sir, just pretending is enough to be scary." At this time, he also deliberately said a few jokes, changed the atmosphere in the transfer account, and then laughed again: "Mr. There are not many people, General Min actually made money today."

Pei Yu said lightly: "It's rare in this world for someone to show his sincerity."

Hearing this, Li Ji didn't dare to speak rashly.After a while, Pei Yu suddenly said: "Look up the matter of Lu Youzhi's life and death."

When Li Ji saw him mentioning this again, he couldn't refute it, so he pondered for a while and said, "If Mister is not at ease, I'll go and sit down again. There are many urgent and important matters now, Mister don't need to be distracted by such trivial matters."

The author has something to say:

Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Zhou Dynasty did not pay special attention to family marriage. As for the Guanlong Min family mentioned here, it is pure nonsense, and it does not reflect the Longxi Li family.
