Chapter 880: A plan within a plan
Dong Ruyi said helplessly: "Okay, talk inside." ”
The two followed Dong Ruyi into the inner hall, where a topographic map of northern Xinjiang was hung on the wall, and a sand table was placed in the middle.
Dong Ruyi said: "Lilac, guard the outside, and no one is allowed to approach here." ”
The cloves should be gone.
Dong Ruyi pointed to the sand table, "The Hu people have already arrived here, and the town border marquis is leading the people outside the customs to retreat here." ”
Zhang Feng didn't say a word, he didn't know how to fight, and this was the first time he had seen the sand table.
Although Deputy Commander Hu had never fought, he still had contact with the military book. He was silent for a moment and asked: "The town border marquis only has 100,000 soldiers, but he has to protect more than 200,000 people to retreat, this time the Hu people have a total of 200,000 people, if the Hu people make a detour to intercept it, the town border marquis will fall into a bitter battle." ”
The reason why he said it was because he wanted to confirm whether what he thought was correct, and secondly, he wanted to explain it to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng stared at the sand table and calculated in his mind, but this was not the case.
Dong Ruyi said: "That's right, let's not mention the 200,000 people escorted by the Marquis of Zhenbei, just say that 200,000 Hu people against 100,000 Northern Xinjiang troops, this battle has no chance of winning." The king guessed that the town marquis would not really go head-to-head with him. But what if it really happens? The battlefield is changing rapidly, who can guarantee that the town border marquis will be able to avoid the Hu people?"
Deputy Commander Hu was silent, yes, who can guarantee it, who dares to guarantee it. If you don't run into it, if you really fight, it will be a big crime.
Dong Ruyi continued: "I meet according to fifty percent, and fifty percent can't be counted. If so, shall we sit back and watch the 100,000 Northern Frontier troops die in battle, or will we go to support?"
Deputy Commander Hu was speechless, and support was about to come out of the whole city. They only have 50,000 people, and if you count their 50,000 people, it is only 150,000, and I don't know how many of the 100,000 Northern Xinjiang Army are left.
Dong Ruyi continued: "But what if the Hu soldiers were divided into two routes, and the 180,000 army went to encircle it, leaving 20,000 to attack the city? The border city garrison was 8,000 and the Taicheng was 6,000, how many days could it be defended? Otherwise, only 150,000 troops were used to besiege the town border marquis, leaving 50,000 halfway ambushes to support. After the ambush, disguised as a Great Zhou soldier to break the city?"
Deputy Commander Hu and Zhang Feng, the two laymen, were in a cold sweat when they heard it, if they said so, then they couldn't fight this battle.
A cold light flashed in Dong Ruyi's eyes, "The best decision is to give up the 200,000 people outside the border, and 160,000 soldiers and horses to defend the two cities of Bian and Taiwan." Let his 200,000 Hu army attack the city, and 160,000 defend him 200,000, let alone a month, this king will give them a year, and they will not be able to take the northern frontier. ”
Dong Ruyi said with a knowing smile, "The Hu people went south because the winter was cold, the cattle and sheep froze to death, and they had no food to go south in one fell swoop." This kind of defense of the city will not take more than three months at all, and in the current situation of the Hu people, they will have to retreat if they can't take it in a month. Otherwise, they will fight hungry and our side will take the initiative to attack, and they will not be able to escape. ”
Deputy Commander Hu said: "This is indeed a good way, but it is more than 200,000 people!"
Dong Ruyi sighed, "The town has been guarding the border for decades, how could he not know what this king thought of, but he still went to transfer the people......"
Deputy Commander Hu and Zhang Feng were even more speechless, they admired the soldiers who transferred the people this time, and they knew that they would be sent to death, but they still did not hesitate.
Dong Ruyi said: "It is the dream of soldiers to die on the battlefield, but what about their families? How many families will be destroyed by 100,000 soldiers, how many women will have no husbands, and how many children will have no fathers. ”
Dong Ruyi's words infected the two people in front of him.
Deputy Commander Hu desperately thought about what else he could do, what about the previous battles, or what was written in the book? But the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart, and sorrow rose in his heart.
Zhang Feng said: "Is there no other way?"
Dong Ruyi looked at the two with solemn expressions and burst out laughing. "Alright, alright, let's not tease you, in fact, I have figured out a way. ”
Dong Ruyi's untimely ridicule sounded so beautiful in the ears of Deputy Commander Hu and Zhang Feng.
Deputy Commander Hu said, "What way?"
Dong Ruyi said: "Come, let's continue to look at the sand table." ”
She pointed to the place she had pointed out earlier, "The Hu people are here now, they are tribes, and they must be agreeing at this moment, whether to block the town border marquis together, or divide the troops into two ways to intercept the town border marquis, one group to intercept reinforcements, or the soldiers to divide into three roads, one group to encircle, one group to intercept, and one group to attack the city." But the question arises, who will besiege and who will attack the city. Only in the city did they have what they wanted. ”
Zhang Feng was puzzled: "Is the little prince planning not to support and stick to the city after taking the two cities?"
Deputy Commander Hu was nervous, if he didn't come out of the city, how would he explain to the imperial court this time, they were not all here to earn military merits.
Dong Ruyi said: "This is the next policy. ”
Deputy Commander Hu said, "What is the best policy?"
Dong Ruyi said: "Have you heard of Qi Guotiandan?"
Deputy Commander Hu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." He said and looked at Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng looked dazed, "Which Qi country?"
Dong Ruyi raised his forehead, "This king should say it directly!"
Deputy Commander Hu said: "No wonder the little prince is reluctant to talk about it in detail, the feeling is that he knows that they don't understand, and it's troublesome!"
"The prefect of Taicheng once ordered that those who entered the city should be strictly investigated, saying that they were afraid that the Hu people would sneak into the city. Dong Ruyi said this inexplicably.
Deputy Commander Hu and Zhang Feng listened quietly, and no one spoke to interrupt.
Dong Ruyi said: "Now that I open the city gate to let the people in, I actually want to let the Hu people into the city." If he had learned that I was young and had never been on the battlefield, I would have taken over the power of the two city guards when I came to the northern frontier. If you are meticulous, what will happen to you?"
When the two saw Dong Ruyi asking, Zhang Feng immediately said: "If the subordinates are meticulous, the subordinates will definitely reply immediately." ”
Dong Ruyi looked at Deputy Commander Hu, "Then what will the Hu people do?"
Deputy Commander Hu said: "The lower officials think that they will give up besieging the town and attack the city with all their might. ”
Dong Ruyi smiled, "What I want is for them to attack the city." ”
Deputy Commander Hu was silent for a moment, "The town border marquis has more than 200,000 people, and what he needs now is time." The little prince is buying them time?"
Dong Ruyi nodded, "Buying time is only one thing, and the other is if the Hu people know that the person who guards the city is actually a good and happy Jingzhong gentleman, what will happen?"
Deputy Commander Hu was overjoyed, "They will underestimate the enemy, and they will attack the city before the town border marquis rushes back." ”
Dong Ruyi smiled, and the rest didn't need her to explain the two of them anymore.
Marching and fighting are the most taboo to underestimate the enemy, no matter how careful Hu Ren is, he can't imagine that she is deliberately designed. After all, Wan Taishou and Governor Chen no longer have any military power.
And the 60,000 defenders of the two cities are in the hands of her, a woman who is not yet fifteen years old, and if she asks about such a situation, I am afraid that she will be deceived.
