New Wagang

Chapter 469

At the beginning, Shang and his disciples also used the strategy of calm and calm to deal with the Qiu family and his son, but after hearing the news that Xingyang City was captured and Yang Qing and Dong Chengjun were arrested, they were still a little uneasy.

If it continues like this, when the Wagang soldiers and horses from Xingyang come over again, Hulao Pass will also be in danger at that time.

I thought that Xingyang City would be able to defend at least one or two months, and I would be able to keep the Hulao close. Raid tactics can't be effective, but Wagang's food and grass are not as good as his own, and he can expect to repel Wagang.

But I didn't expect that Xingyang City was breached by Wagang in just a few days. Judging from the time it took for the Wagang soldiers and horses of Qiu's father and son to arrive at Hulao Pass outside, plus the three Wagang soldiers and horses in Xingyang Gong County, it was almost Arrived at the same time.

In addition, Wagang stayed behind to deal with Pei Liu's army, this Wagang is a four-line battle!

When did Wagang soldiers and horses increase so much?
Didn't it mean that among the anti-kings, only Dou Jiande and Li Zitong had 20 troops, but judging from the division of troops in Wagang, it is also a lot of 20.

There were footsteps outside the door, and the soldiers appeared in front of the door, bowed and said: "General, General Wen has returned, and he is waiting in the main hall."

"Does he look happy or depressed?" Master and apprentice Shang did not get up immediately, but asked the soldiers.

The soldiers seemed to think about it for a while, and then said: "General Wen's expression is quite low, and his brows are tightly frowned."

"You go down first." Master Shang waved at the soldiers dejectedly, and only sighed leisurely when the soldiers turned and disappeared in front of the door.

It seems that the imperial court really won't have any reinforcements coming.

Is it because the emperor doesn't value Luokoucang or trusts himself so much?
Or maybe the letters for help never reached Heaven?

Master Shang is definitely not a general who works behind closed doors. He is not only capable in military affairs, but also has some insights in politics.

Now that the court is becoming more and more chaotic, Yu Wenhua and his father and son control the government and only tell the emperor good things, so that after the emperor Erzheng Goguryeo came back, he almost didn't personally ask about some things, almost all of them were controlled by Yu Wenhua and his father and son.

If the Yuwen father and son rebelled, the chaos in the current court would be like dredging from the bottom of the pot.

All of a sudden, Master Shang and his disciples couldn't help their hearts jumping. Perhaps they were afraid of their sudden thoughts. They turned around immediately as if they wanted to do something, but then they froze, and finally turned all the thoughts in their hearts into Let out a sigh.

"Husband, why don't you rest so late at night?" Mrs. Wang came out quietly from the inner room, and couldn't help but sighed slightly when she saw Master Shang and his disciples who were sitting on the big chair in a daze.

Regarding the siege of Wagang soldiers and horses, the Wang family thought more leniently than Master Shang and his apprentices.

This Wang family is not an ignorant woman. Her father, Wang Qian, was the general governor of Beizhou County.

In fact, what the world doesn't know is that when Wang Gan was concurrently serving as the governor of the three counties, his daughter Wang was responsible for many affairs, until later Wang married Master Shang and his apprentice.

Why do you say marrying off? Firstly, Wang’s age is several years older than Master Shang’s and his disciples. Second, Master Shang and his apprentices at that time hadn’t come out yet. He was just an unknown young general who was picked out by Wang Gan from the army. It was through deliberate cultivation that he made his own name little by little.

Later the Northern Zhou Dynasty was annihilated by the Sui Dynasty, and Wang Gan retired to the mountains and forests to ignore world affairs, while Master Shang and his disciples returned to the Sui Dynasty according to the general trend, and took the post of the general soldier of Hulaoguan.

Although Mrs. Wang is quite insightful in military affairs and even politics, she has never expressed some of her views or opinions in front of Master Shang and his disciples. Master Shang is familiar with military books, classics and history. , can also be regarded as a man of great talent, so he is also very conceited as a master and apprentice, especially for the loyalty of the imperial court, he is almost blindly obedient.

Maybe Wang Qian's practice of returning to the mountains and forests at the beginning shocked Master Shang and his disciples a lot.

Master Shang recovered from his contemplation, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then remembered that there were people waiting for him in the main hall, waved his hand, and said: "You rest first, General Wen Yan has just sent reinforcements back, I will go and see Depending on the situation?"

After finishing speaking, Master Shang got up and walked out the door. Wang looked at Master Shang who hadn't had a good rest in the inner room for several days, and also frowned slightly, and let out a long sigh.

In the main hall where Master Shang and his disciples arrived, Wen Yan immediately came up to him, bowed on the ground and pleaded guilty, saying: "Please punish the commander-in-chief, I will not be able to move the rescue soldiers in the end!"

Wenman really had no other choice. The closest place to here was Hongniguan. Xin Wenli, who had always had a good relationship with his commander-in-chief, did not agree to send troops. The reason was that the imperial court had already issued orders to the towns. According to the decree of the imperial court, the general soldiers of all places are not allowed to send troops without authorization!
Wen Yan also knew about this order, and he wanted to run a few more places to ask, but finally gave up the plan, so it would be better to go back and defend the city with the commander-in-chief.

"Get up." Master Shang helped Wen Yan up, motioned him to sit down, and then said: "It's nothing if there are no reinforcements. I have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the city of Hulaoguan. It's impossible to get all Nawagang. It's Xingyang. I will not be afraid of the Wagang soldiers and horses coming together."

Master Shang really didn't care too much about whether he could invite reinforcements. He could only say that it would be better if there were reinforcements. If not, he could handle everything alone.

All of these self-confidence is not only the strength of master and apprentice, but also his military strategy. Rujun has never suffered a single defeat, especially when Wu Yunzhao rebelled against Nanyang Pass and Han Qinhu couldn't attack him for a long time. The time when he and Xin Wenli were transferred to fight together, Master Shang and Wu Yunzhao went all the way to kill Baihe before they lost the battle. That time, they were only defeated in a duel with the generals, but Yu was indeed in command of the army. Defeated Wu Yunzhao.

But at that time, Master Shang and his disciples were always proud of him. Although he lost to Wu Yunzhao, being able to fight Sai Zilong for nearly a hundred times is by no means something that can be done by just one person, especially Wu Yunzhao afterwards. Winning every battle and becoming the God of War of the Fengming Army, Shang and his disciples are even more honored that they had the opportunity to fight with them.

"There is a general soldier sitting at Hulao Pass, and his subordinates will definitely serve their lives with all their might. No matter how strong the Wagang soldiers are, they will definitely return in vain!" Wen Yan also had a kind of blind trust in Master Shang and his disciples.

Not for anything else, just because Wen Yu knows the origin of the title of Master Shang's Four Treasures. Not many, although there are many well-known generals in Wagang, such as Na Xiaobailong, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Junkuo and so on.
