Chapter Eleven: The Art of Attacking the Heart

"Young Master knows the last general?" Liu Laozhi was surprised with some surprises.

Wei Jie sneered in his heart. Liu Laozhi was indeed a general, but his character was really not very good. He was from a poor family. On the one hand, he was against the high school, and dreamed that one day he would be respected as a noble family as a descendant. However, Liu Lao would be glorious for several years later, so he would not offend such a villain.

"I have heard from my grandfather that I admire you for a long time! I came from a poor family but had the loyalty of a high-ranking family, and it is even more rare to be a general!" Thinking of having to spend more than a month with Liu Laozhi, Wei Jie was also very proud of his praise, and he would put on some high hats and talk about them.

"Haha, the second young master praised me. I thought I had been in the army for ten years and I am still the deputy general now. I am too honored!" Liu Laozhi immediately looked at Wei Jie with admiration, wishing he could sit down on the spot and have a long talk.

"That's the opportunity for General Liu has not arrived. The battle for Xiangyang is now a rare opportunity for General Liu. Wei Jie is here to wish the general a fame and fame in the world!" Wei Jie said with a smile, but he was puzzled in his heart. This opportunity for Liu Laozhi is among the Northern Palace Army. When he goes to Xiangyang, can he not only save his life, but also surrender to Xie Xuan's army in the future?

"Borrowing up the words of the prince, I have to thank Lord Lanling and General Wei for the promotion of the Wei family for generations. As expected, two generals led the way, and two young masters took charge of the army..."

Wei Jie couldn't stand Liu Laozhi anymore, so he gave Xiaosong a wink. Xiaosong immediately understood and said with a bitter face: "General Liu, look at our young master who has been on the road for a day and hasn't eaten yet, is it..."

"Yes, yes, my son forgives the crime. I am sorry for the second son. I met him too late. I ignored these things. When I come, prepare food for the second son. You can rest after dinner!" Although Liu Laozhi was prone to being proud, he still had the ability to observe words and expressions, otherwise he would not be able to reach a height that many high-ranking children could not reach in the future.

In the military camp, we could not drink alcohol. We didn’t know that Wei Jie used to, but now we don’t want to eat this. After eating something simply, Wei Jie lived in this tent. Although we were the rear army, we still had to march urgently. The itinerary of a day should be at least fifty miles. Although we had horses to travel for us and didn’t have to walk, it was not easy for Wei Jie.

There were many inconveniences in the military camp, and the comprehending of the Heavenly Book was not a short time. Wei Jie simply paused his comprehending of the Heavenly Book and slept and rested. A month passed like this. Wei Jie, who was already weak, could no longer bear it. Even Komatsu complained all day long.

Fortunately, Xiangyang is already in front of you, and Liu Laozhi's troops have arrived in Nanyang. In another three days, they should be able to arrive in Xiangyang. Liu Laozhi, who was originally anxious to go to the front line to make contributions, changed his mind after seeing the state of the Weijie, and ordered to camp on the spot, rest for a day and set off again.

Liu Laozhi's mind was very clear. He could see Wei Zi and Wei Heng. His current state would inevitably make Liu Laozhi seem to be neglected to take care of him. Of course, resting on the spot, and not using the excuse of letting the second son of the Wei family maintain a good face. Liu Laozhi said with great praise: "Looking at the moment... the enemy is in front of him, only by resting well can he go to the battlefield to fight bravely!"

"What a Liu Laozhi!"

However, a month has passed, and in the past twenty days, there were scouts who communicated with each other between the front and rear troops. In the past ten days, it may be that the war was tight, and no news came from Xiangyang City.

Wei Jie was anxious and rejected Liu Laozhi's kindness.

"Wei Jie knew General Liu's kindness in his heart. However, the military situation was urgent and could not be delayed. Let's set off quickly and go to Xiangyang to meet my grandfather and the others. After seeing Grandpa, I will definitely speak kindly for General Liu!"

Liu Laozhi couldn't ask for it, and now he ordered camping and resting. He took a lot of risks. He also weighed the pros and cons to make this decision. Now that Wei Jie said he didn't want it, he was happy to continue marching.

As soon as the army set off again, the scouts in Xiangyang City arrived, bringing good news that Wei Wei Heng and his son joined forces to fight and win several battles. The army was in a carnival, but Wei Jie and Liu Laozhi were not happy and had their own thoughts.

If the battle is over, the opportunity to make contributions will be gone. How could Liu Laozhi be happy? The only thing that is gratifying is that he served the second young master well along the way, which may be considered a meritorious service!

Wei Jie was worried that his grandfather and father might have been trapped. Who was the leader of the Former Qin army? I won’t say more about Fu Pi and Yao Chang. Who is Murong Chui? He is a famous master of military tactics. Although the Former Qin army traveled a long distance, it was several times more numerous than the Jin army. How could he lose consecutive battles in a short period of time!

The Weijie was even more eager to enter Xiangyang City. Fortunately, the front was smooth and there was no harassment from the Former Qin army. In just two days, the rear army of the Wei army entered Xiangyang City under the command of Liu Laozhi. The food and supplies brought by the rear army also greatly boosted the morale of the army in Xiangyang City. In addition, the successive battles and victory in the previous battles, the people's hearts were temporarily stabilized.

"Xie'er, why don't you just listen to grandpa!" Wei Jie looked tired at this time, and his condition was not as good as a battle. Wei Jie looked in his eyes, and his heart ached, and sighed.

The scouts had long received the news about Wei Jie in the rear army. Wei Jie ordered someone to escort him back to Jiankang, but Wei Jie insisted on coming, and Wei Jie and Wei Heng were helpless. Since Wei Jie became passionate last time, they looked at Wei Jie with admiration and truly regarded him as children of the Wei family.

"If I don't come, Xiangyang will not say anything. It's unknown whether you and your father can go back!"

Wei Wei Heng arrived in Xiangyang half a month ago. Before entering the city, he first attacked Yao Chang's ambush outside the city, killing 800 enemies and injuring thousands of enemies. He entered the city amid the cheers in Xiangyang City, and then went out of the city to meet the enemy. He first raided Fu Pi's central army, defeated the front army and returned to the city safely. A few days later, he faced Murong Chui's cavalry. After the fierce battle, he was injured and Murong Chui retreated.

Wei Jie was afraid that the two of them would be lost by the previous victory, so he poured a basin of cold water on the rise, which also changed Wei Wei Heng's face, but did not immediately attack.

"Although the Former Qin Dynasty had an advantage in its military strength, the Xiangyang city was in a low position. We were defending the city and then raided and harassed it with cavalry. As long as we persist for several months, the Former Qin army would naturally retreat. Are you worried too much? " Wei Zi no longer dared to underestimate the Wei Jie at this time. He said so confidently, maybe he really had his own unique view.

"If the opponent is just Fu Pi and Yao Qi, grandpa's method is indeed impeccable and Xiangyang will definitely be able to save it. However, our real opponent this time is Murong Chui. It is hard to predict whether the gods and ghosts are used. I am afraid that we will fall into his tricks if we accidentally do not!"

Leading troops to fight is a fantasy for Wei Jie. What he can do is to use his understanding of historical events and historical figures to help the Wei family overcome this difficulty. If possible, try to lay the groundwork for future development!

"Murong Chui's cavalry is indeed brave and he is even more brave. However, the cavalry of our guards is not vegetarian. The two armies are not invincible, and the force of one person can control it. When we fought with Murong Chui a few days ago, our army was not at a disadvantage!"

What Wei Zi said is true. Murong Chui's reputation is the biggest stone that weighs on the hearts of the military and civilians in Xiangyang City. Wei Zi faces the enemy head-on without falling into a disadvantage. This is indeed like giving Xiangyang City a shot of a heart-warming agent, and the military and civilians in the city have regained their fighting spirit.

"Grandpa, this is what Jie'er is afraid of. The thing like human hearts is that it will be destroyed again after there is hope. If you know that you will die, the army and the people in the city will definitely be able to unite against the enemy, work together and defend to the end. Now grandpa has given them hope of survival, which has shaken their determination to defend to the end. If next time, I mean, if grandpa's personal guards are defeated by Murong Chui, then I will be afraid that the army will be disintegrated and it will be difficult to gather the heart to defend to the end!"

"What Jie'er is afraid of is that this is Murong Chui's attacking technique!"

Wei Jie's words made Wei Zi fall into silence. After a few days of battle, although his side did not lose the upper hand, he did not gain an advantage. Murong Chui retreated without being in a mess, and there were traces of deliberate actions. If it was really as Wei Jie said, this was Murong Chui's attacking technique, then his scheming would be too terrible!
