New Wagang

Chapter 87 We have to keep a low profile

Abandoned!

At this time, Yuwenba really realized the profound meaning of this idiom.

The newly opened training ground for recruits next to the school ground is more than ten times larger than that of Xiaodang Mountain, and the obstacle fortifications have been doubled. Fortunately, the school ground is not bad, there is no major renovation, only the surrounding low walls have been rebuilt. After brushing it up, he wrote the sentence that all the soldiers in the village knew in big red characters:

Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime.

In addition, a wall was deliberately avoided to make the list of soldiers. Every batch of new sergeants will select three to be on the list. Those who make the list will get a certain reward. Of course, it is not a material reward. It's too vulgar, but it's a medal, divided into three colors of gold, silver and copper. I heard that it was designed by the village owner himself and asked the blacksmith of the superintendent camp to punch it out.

Yuwenba has lived in the military camp for eight years, from a young boy to a soldier king, so he can understand the psychology of these new soldiers, not to mention that people in this era are not as rich as they are now, so it is even more important It is easy to inspire them mentally, and Yuwenba knows this is right when he looks at the scene where everyone is desperate!

Xu Shiji also glanced over the ten extremely conspicuous red letters on the wall, landed on Yu Wenba and said:

"The expansion of the distillery is because now the Bianshui River in Xingyang and several roads are urging the demand for good Chinese wine. The reason for the division of the ironware department and the woodenware department in the supervisory camp is that the demand gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger. The "cooking fairy" in the medical camp has also been expanded to a hundred large stoves."

Xu Shiji spit out a long list, and finally stopped for a while. He thought that he would attract Yuwenba's attention, but he didn't expect Yuwenba to look directly at the new sergeant who was training on the field, and then only softly uttered a sentence:
"Mr. Mao, just say what you want to say in your heart."

When the words fell, he turned his eyes and glanced at Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji immediately rolled his eyes and said:

"Why did my brother change the General's Mansion into Juyi Hall? Also, why did you build a wall around Wagang? Isn't this a cottage just like Xiaodang Mountain in the past?"

"Are the other leaders thinking like you?" Yu Wenba was a little surprised that Xu Shiji actually opposed building a wall outside Wagang. Could it be that Xu Shiji wasn't the one who proposed to build a wall after Zhai Rang went to Wagang?
Who would that be?

Uncle Xie Yingdeng was at the time when Shan Xiongxin and the others had not yet gone to Wagang. Could it be Wang Ruxin?

There is a possibility, Wang Ruxin is a native first, and he also knows a little bit about strategy...
Wei Zheng!

Yuwenba's eyes jumped, why did he forget about such a big man? It is true that Wang Ruxin understands strategy a little bit, but Wang Ruxin might not be able to do such a big-sighted proposal of building the outer wall of the Wagang. It should be Wei Zheng. up!
By the way, where is Wei Zheng now?

When Fan Hu went to Luzhou to look for Qin Qiong, he caught wind and cold and almost died on the way. He was rescued by Wei Zheng. At that time, Wei Zheng was the priest of Dongyue Temple. Look for a bright master to vote for it.

After 46 friendships, Qin Qiong went to the military camp, Shan Xiongxin was still the leader of his five-way green forest, Luo Cheng and others also went back to their respective homes, Qu Tutong also embarked on the official career that made him rise steadily throughout his life, and finally joined Li Two of the 24 heroes.

Later, when Shan Xiongxin had an accident, Wei Zheng happened to be in Erxian Village at that time, and Zhai Rang came to rescue Shan Xiongxin himself, so Wei Zheng went to Wagang with Shan Xiongxin, because Zhai Rang had always had Wang Ruxin by his side, and Wang Ruxin The suppression of Wei Zheng, a counselor, so Wei Zheng's talents have not been stretched.

However, he was hunted down by the government with Shan Xiongxin because of the matter of Erxian Village. No matter how unwilling he was, he could no longer travel around like before, so he had to stay in Wagang until Li Mi went up the mountain to recruit talents everywhere. Nashi, Wei Zheng thought that the opportunity had come, and listed ten ways to strengthen Wagang, but it was a pity that none of them worked for Li Mi.

Just at this time, Wei Zheng's friend Zheng Ting served as the royal doctor under Wang Shichong, so he recommended Wei Zheng to Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong was not used to Wei Zheng's goat nose. In order to save face, Wang Shichong left Wei Zheng to use by Zheng Ting's side. Later, Zheng Ting gradually didn't accept Wei Zheng's opinion. Arrived under the account of Prince Li Jiancheng.

It wasn't until Li Er came up with the Xuanwumen Change and became emperor that Wei Zheng switched to Li Er again, and this was finally on the right path.

Xu Shiji saw that Yuwenba remained silent and frowned slightly, so he knew he was thinking about something again, and he didn't make a sound, so he waited aside. Throwing it on the recruit training ground, everyone looked excited.

A sudden gust of wind blew up and rustled his clothes, which woke Yuwenba up from his solitary contemplation. After glancing at the people around him, Yuwenba couldn't help but smile slightly, shook his head, looked at Xu Shiji, and said:

"Let's go for a walk outside the city."

"Outside the city?" Xu Shiji was startled, then nodded, and was about to turn around and let Shanwazi call the guard camp, but Yuwenba waved his hand and said:
"The seven of us will go for a walk around the city."

"This... alright!" Seeing Yuwenba's insistence, Xu Shiji could only nod his head.

A group of people went out of the city from Wagang West Gate. They left the official road and walked for a few miles. Xu Shiji's expression changed when he saw this scene, and he said in surprise:

"It's easy to hide soldiers here!"

"The Yellow River has flooded many times, causing the sand dunes to rise and fall, and there is no one left. Zhoudao Village in the west, Chishui Village in the southwest, Dacao Village in the northwest and Mengzhuang Village on the back are also tens of miles away. , coupled with the bushes and densely covered reeds here and there, it is very possible to bury ten thousand soldiers in the dark at night."

"No wonder my brother wants to build another wall around Wagang City. My brother has far-reaching concerns." Xu Shiji suddenly frowned, staring at Yuwen Baba:

"This is the first time my brother has left the city since he entered the city. Since he knows the scenery here, he must have already known it. Why didn't brother Wagang ambush here?"

Yuwenba shook his head and said:
"Even if we ambushed here, we only have 5000 troops. In that case, we can only forcibly attack the city wall. Even if we can enter Wagang, our army will suffer great losses. Besides, the poisonous dragon chariot cannot advance on this ravine. .”

"I'm really confused." Xu Shiji laughed impressively.

"However, if you encounter a force with a large number of people, split up your attack, and then use this place as a surprise attack, the result will be very different."

"In addition to building a wall here, we also have to lay some traps among the reeds and scatter barbed briers." Xu Shiji is a person who knows everything, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and frowned, and said. :

"The elder brother changed the General's Mansion into Juyi Hall to show weakness to the court on purpose? Existing in the name of a cottage is completely different from existing in the name of a city."

"It's not showing weakness, it's called being low-key."

Yuwenba knew that since Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin and others captured Wagang, they had recruited [-] soldiers from Tangbi, the Jiedu envoy from Shandong, [-] soldiers from Lintong Pass, and [-] soldiers from Hongni Pass. Wen Li's [-] soldiers and Yang Lin's [-] soldiers from Dengzhou came to Wagang together, scaring Cheng Yaojin, the devil king, and screaming.

In fact, Yuwenba is very suspicious of such a matter.

How many soldiers and horses is this?

35 million!

is it possible?
You must know that our Emperor Sui Yang conscripted soldiers everywhere in order to build Goguryeo, so that almost only women, children, and old people in the villages seemed to want to see a young and middle-aged man. This shows how rare soldiers are at this time It's extremely scarce, and 35 soldiers can still be given out!

It was just to capture Wagang, and 35 soldiers were sent. Besides, could it be that Yang Guang at that time knew that Wagang would be a serious problem for his confidant in the future?
Furthermore, Tang Bi was the envoy of Shandong Jiedu, Xu Shiji and others turned against Shandong and he had reason to attack Wagang, but Lintong Pass is an important military town, he dared to leave without a military order?

And that Xin Wenli is even doing his red mud nonsense and running to join in the fun?
It is even more impossible for Yang Lin to come, at least at this time, it is impossible to come in person. First of all, because of his identity, he came with a small Wagang?Now that there are so many anti-kings in the world, much more powerful than Wagang, it is impossible for Yang Lin to abandon those anti-kings who came to Wagang from Dengzhou to make trouble.

Therefore, Yuwenba can conclude that these few groups of people are most likely only deliberately exaggerated by later generations in order to praise the heroes of Wagang at that time.
