Immediately, Jiang Yuetang asked again: "Teacher, since there is a fire attack, is there also a water attack?"

Shangguan Che suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, of course there are, but there are not many examples of water attack operations since ancient times, because 'water can be destroyed, but it cannot be taken', so the use in the attack is not as significant as fire attack, and after flooding the city, the city wall can be soaked soft, the people drown, and the grain will be moldy, and the result is almost devastating." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut of course, a water attack can disrupt the enemy's formation and cut off the enemy's communication and transportation, so it can be used as an auxiliary factor in the attack, depending on the situation. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"When our army is ten times stronger than the enemy, we can carry out a siege. When our army is five times larger than the enemy's troops, it can attack directly. If the strength of the enemy is only twice as large, it is necessary to skillfully disperse the enemy's forces. Shangguan Che continued.

"If our army is less powerful than the enemy's, is it not appropriate to fight head-on?" asked the little fellow.

"That's right!" Shangguan Che praised, and deliberately asked, "What should our army do at this time?"

"Use a plan, or find support. The little guy said.

"That's right!" Shangguan Che patted her shoulder approvingly, and continued: "The most important thing in leading troops to fight is to solve the problem of food. It can be said that if an army has no food, it is equivalent to having no combat effectiveness, and the result can only be defeat without a fight, so the role of food in combat is comparable to that of a sword, and sometimes even greater than a sword. And the best way to solve the food problem is to get it from enemy countries. ”

"Is it because it saves manpower and material resources?" asked the little one.

Shangguan Che nodded and said, "That's right." When a country is at war, frequent food transportation over long distances impoverishes its people and puts them in danger of starvation, and the need for war horses and vehicles to transport food over long distances can also increase the wear and tear of the country's supplies. Therefore, wise kings and generals usually chose to start wars after the autumn, because after the autumn harvest there was plenty of food and forage in various places, which could ensure that neither the soldiers nor the horses would go hungry. ”

"Understood. ”

"The best strategy for fighting with soldiers is to see through the enemy's strategy, and the so-called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles' is this principle. It is easier to 'know oneself', but it is much more difficult to know one's opponent', especially when the other party is one's opposite. Since we want to see through the enemy's schemes, we must 'use the room', which means 'knowing the other', and send people to the enemy/country to secretly obtain the enemy's feelings. ”

"Is that to the intermittent espionage?" asked the little guy again.

She had learned the word when she was learning Chinese and knew what it meant.

Shangguan Che smiled and said, "Yes, Yueting is so smart!" and then said: "There are five types of spies: the dead room, the living room, the inner room, the countryside and the anti-room. If you want to get the enemy's intelligence safely and sufficiently, you can use all five types of intermittent espionage at the same time.

Deliberately creating a false situation/retribution to induce/deceive the enemy, this is the 'death room', and if the enemy finds out, the person will usually be executed, so it can also be said to be a 'sacrifice of life'.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao established the Great Xia Kingdom because of his disobedience to the control of the Great Song Dynasty, proclaimed himself the king of Western Xia, and recruited Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi as his right and left hands. These two are brothers, who hold the military power of Western Xia, have talents, and emphasize faithfulness, so they are deeply valued by Li Yuanhao.

The Song Dynasty's frontier commander was called Chong Shiheng, and he was ordered to guard the frontier to resist the invasion of the Xia army.

Chong Shiheng knew very well - if he wanted to weaken the threat of Western Xia to the Great Song Dynasty, he must first get rid of the two brothers Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi. However, these two brothers are known for their resourcefulness, so how easy is it to get rid of them?

In order to probe the military situation of the Song army, Yeli Wangrong sent several spies to Chong Shiheng's army to deceive him.

Chong Shiheng knew their intentions, but on the surface, he pretended not to know, and while treating them well, he was looking for a way to get rid of the two Yeli Wangrong brothers.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

He then looked for someone who was suitable for the procedure. It didn't take long for him to find one.

This person's name is Fa Song, his real name is Wang Song, and he is known as Monk Wang. Monk Wang was born in martial arts, tall, good at riding and shooting, chivalrous and courageous, when he was young, he had traveled between Song and Xia many times, and was more familiar with the terrain of Western Xia, and often had contacts with the clansmen of Western Xia.

After secret observation, Chong Shiheng found that this person was indeed worthy of his reputation, so he invited him to the army and treated him as his own son.

Not long after, Chong Shiheng persuaded him to become a local petty official. After returning to the vulgar, Fa Song immediately exposed many problems, such as good wine, good prostitution, good fighting, etc. Chong Shiheng saw it in his eyes, but he never restrained it, and sometimes he would squander it on money.

After another period of time, Chong Shiheng settled him in his own home, and entertained him with good wine and meat every day, so that he could live a very nourishing life. Then, suddenly, one day, Chong Shiheng ordered someone to tie him up, and reprimanded him angrily: "I asked myself if I treated you well, why did you betray me?"

Fa Song was shocked and hurriedly pleaded. However, Chong Shiheng said that he already had evidence of his collusion with Western Xia, and without waiting for him to plead his case, he put him in prison and ordered him to be tortured.

However, no matter how he was tortured, Fa Song insisted that he did not betray Chong Shiheng and did not complain at all. When Chong Shiheng learned about it, he was unmoved, and still locked him in prison and interrogated and tortured him from time to time.

After more than half a year, Fa Song is still loyal to Chong Shiheng and has no complaints.

At this time, Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi also learned that 'there was a spy named Fa Song in the Song army', and they have been paying attention to this matter. They also hope to use this spy to make meritorious deeds.

When the time was ripe, Chong Shiheng personally went to the prison to untie Fa Song, and said: "I know that you are innocent, and the reason why I arrested you and tortured you is to test your loyalty to me, and secondly, to take this opportunity to get rid of Yeli Wangrong." I want to send you to the barracks of Yeli Wangrong on a mission, I wonder if you would like to?"

Fa Song said yes.

Chong Shiheng said again: "But this mission is extraordinary, not only do you have to keep the whole plan a secret, but you also have the possibility of enduring much greater pain than now, are you willing?"

Fa Song still said he was willing.

Chong Shiheng then wrote a letter to Yeli Wangrong, in which Chong Shiheng said, "I have settled the people you sent, and I have received the information you asked them to send, and I understand very well the intention of you to send them, so I have reported to the imperial court and suggested that you be appointed as the envoy of the Xiazhou Festival, and you should be paid one hundred taels of silver per month." Now that the letter of appointment has arrived, I now give you a painting with a turtle and a date, hoping that you will understand its intentions and return to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible. ”

Ran to the wilderness and said

Dear friends, a watch is coming. The second watch is around 18:00.
