Chapter 292: A Soldier's Plan
?
Jiao Ranjin also served as You Yu's subordinate back then. Naturally, he couldn't make a score with him, and explained: "General You, we don't mean that. β
You Yu didn't give up, and said: "I don't mean what it means! I You Yu has been on the battlefield for nearly fifty years, and I haven't seen any formation?
Tianlan stepped forward and said lightly: "General You Yu is now stationed in Jukou Pass for sixty miles, which seems to be different from the hundred miles that General Meng Da said. β
You Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "So what!"
Tianlan pointed to the arrangements outside the tent and said: "The wooden stakes of the general's tent are not deep in the ground, and the military resources and grain and grass are also neatly managed. β
The adjutant general next to him was stunned and said, "You...... Do you know what General You Yu is up to?!!
You Yu was even more incredulous, and said, "Impossible, impossible, boy! No one has ever said anything about this old man! You can't know what the old man is doing!"
Tianlan's expression was as calm as water, and he said unhurriedly: "If you can retreat from a hundred miles to sixty miles but still be in order, I'm afraid there is only a plan for arrogant soldiers." Fiction and reality, reality and fiction, I'm afraid that what the general is waiting for is that critical counterattack moment!"
You Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy! Good! Okay! I really have you! I actually saw the old man's plan at a glance!"
The corners of Jiao Ranjin's mouth twitched, he had followed You Yu for so long, he had never heard him praise anyone, and today he actually praised Tianlan vigorously as soon as they met, this is really ...... It's envious, jealous and gratifying......
Tianlan didn't feel that there was anything to be proud of at a glance about his strategy, and continued: "The general's plan must be effective, at this time, I am afraid that I will attack again. Tie Xing'an's leading army was more than brave, but his strategy was insufficient, and he thought that he had the chance to win, and he was bent on pursuing the victory, which was really a hit on the nail on the head for him. β
The more You Yu looked at him, the more pleasing he became, nodded again and again, and said, "Not bad, not bad." But boy, did you come here to tell the old man the same plan?"
Tianlan said calmly: "No, there are similarities and differences. If the general is willing to listen to me, I can guarantee a 10% chance of victory in this battle. β
"What ?!!" The adjutant general of the army was dumbfounded, the battlefield was changing rapidly, who could be sure of a 100% chance of winning, this is also inevitable......
You Yu laughed and said, "Hahahahaha! The kid is so big in Haikou! What a lot of courage! But if he failsβ"
Tianlan's face did not change his 'color': "Naturally, it will be dealt with by the military." β
"Huh?" everyone, including Jiao Ranjin, all changed their color. They all understood what it meant to be punished by the military, and it was equivalent to making a military order, and if he failed, he would have to apologize with his life! This was a military rule, even if he was a relative of the marshal! However, his words had already been spoken, and no one could stop them.
You Yu's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Okay! The old man will believe you once!!"
Tianlan said: "This method will not change the general's original strategy, only need to use some of the general's grain and grass. Xuanyuan Zheng, as the commander of Qiyang, must be well aware of Tie Xing'an's weaknesses, so he will definitely 'insert' people with superb wisdom and thoughtfulness around General Tie. Therefore, if you want to succeed in your strategy, you can't just retreat, you must be lured by grain and grass to lure them to the bait. β
You Yu stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "That's reasonable, it's really a clever plan! If you do some more tricks in the grain and grass, you will make the Tie Xing'an kid regret itββ"
Tianlan said: "No. If it is a 'decoy' bait, how can it be used as a dead bait? Grain and grass must use good grain and grass, and Tie Xing'an will be convinced. As long as he firmly believes that the defeat and retreat of our army is true, with his 'temperament', he will definitely not consider the advice around him. β
You Yu was persuaded by him and nodded: "Since this is the case, it will be according to what you say." β
Tianlan continued: "Our army can feign defeat and retreat to the main camp. When I came, I had already 'handed over' Lord Meng Da to prepare the tunnel of Jukou Pass, so that the main troops could hide in the tunnel, and the general you led the remaining troops to pretend to abandon the pass and flee, and let the Qiyang army enter the pass. By then, it will be too late, and Tie Xing will choose to let the army rest in Guanzhong. They were sleepy and tired, and after the great victory, the 'spirit' was relaxed, and the night was the time for us to fight back. At that time, using fire as a signal to ignite the grain and grass in the four corners of the camp will be enough to make the enemy more panicked and misjudge the situation due to the skyrocketing fire, and our army can even take the opportunity to kill him by surprise. β
You Yu nodded and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, worthy of being a famous general." β
The general praised it. Tianlan said modestly, as if a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes when he mentioned his father.
The more You Yu thought about it, the more feasible he felt, nodded frequently, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "The old man still has something to understand. β
Tianlan cleaned up his mood and said, "General, please speak." β
"Just now, Meng Da has used the flying pigeon to pass the book to inform the old man of your arrival. He said that before you went to join the old man, you had already developed a water source in the pass, but if Tie Xing'an entered the pass and saw our newly dug well, wouldn't you be suspicious?"
Tianlan heard this and said, "The general doesn't need to worry about this matter. Most of the locations where Xiaotang instructed to dig wells were in the hidden places of the back mountains, and even the city was covered up, believing that overnight, they would not be detected. β
You Yu smiled: "Sure enough, the old man has convinced you! Okay, everything will come as you say." With this clever plan, the Tie Xing'an boy will be defeated and flee like a lost dog. β
Tianlan said, "No." Has the general forgotten about the Fire Spirit Array? The water well in the Guannei is only a temporary relief for the urgent need, and cannot be used for a long time, because if the Fire Spirit Array is not removed, the water veins will gradually wither, and it will not be able to supply the main army of 30,000. Taking a step back, once Xue Ning, the main leader of the Fire Spirit Array, saw that the situation was not good, he would appear at any time to support the Tie Xing'an army. The number of this group of pyromancers should be in the hundreds, and it is a strong combat force. Their participation will 'disrupt' our entire plan. If they had rescued the Tie Xing'an army, and when tens of thousands of iron horsemen had returned, this strategy would not have worked. β
Since the previous group of fire warlocks only presided over the fire spirit array and did not show up, You Yu forgot for a moment that there was still such a group of people who could not see the head and the tail, and his brows furrowed deeply. That's right, just as Tianlan said, this force may not matter if the two armies face each other in peacetime, but if this group of people rushes out of an unknown place during the ambush in the pass, it will be a catastrophe! If they are not counted, the consequences may be extremely serious.
You Yu sighed heavily and said, "It's just that this group of people has long been hidden, and it is estimated that they are hiding behind the Qiyang Army, we don't know where they are, how to deal with it?"
Tianlan said: "It's simple. I have calculated that the position of the main formation is not in the rear of the Qiyang army, but fifty miles to the south of this place. β
Actually, he didn't even need to calculate. He has a contractual connection with the Wind Spirit Staff, and the Wind Spirit Staff is in Xue Ning's hand, and in his eyes, Xue Ning's position is like a spark in the night, which is extremely conspicuous.
You Yu's eyes flashed, the lieutenant general beside him had long been fed up with the drought, and shouted: "General, why don't we go and shovel this nest of people right now!"
You Yu was still calm, and said: "No, in this way, if you startle the snake, the big fish that catches the bait will run away." Now that you know where they are, let them live a little longer!"
Tianlan said: "In my opinion, it is inevitable to alarm the enemy, and two hundred 'elite' soldiers should be sent to sneak all the way, ambush around them, and use the main fireworks as the number, both sides act at the same time, and the minimum requirement here is to limit the actions of the fire warlock legion." β
You Yu said: "Okay." It's just that this matter must be cautious, and Tie Xing'an knows very well that I and the adjutant general around me are inconvenient for us to lead troops to carry out this strategy. However, the side of the Fire Warlock Legion is very important, affecting the entire battle situation, and it must not be ...... carelessly."
Tianlan and Jiao Ranjin glanced at each other and said, "General You, I wonder if you can 'hand' us over to the Fire Warlock Legion?"
"You?" You Yu was surprised, he thought that Tianlan was just giving advice, but he didn't expect him to actually participate in this operation. There's no way, after all, Tianlan is so young, and he is thin, weak, and polite, if he doesn't point it out, no one will associate him with any master.
"The general can rest assured that Tianlan will go all out and will not let the plan fall through. Tianlan nodded slightly, it seemed that he was going to set this task. The original purpose of their group was Xue Ning, so naturally they would not let go of this great opportunity!
"Since you have said so, then this matter will be 'handed over' to you. You Yu finally finalized it, and then took the deputy general to prepare.
Jiao Ranjin was slightly uneasy and persuaded: "Young Master Lan, I know that your cultivation is not weak, but the fact of ambushing the Fire Warlock Legion is too dangerous. I'll lead these two hundred 'elite' soldiers, and I'll definitely bring you Xue Ning's head! Don't take any chances, okay?"
Tianlan closed his eyes and sighed, and said, "Uncle Jiao, I know that you are for my good, and I am afraid that something will happen to me." I also know that this trip may not be so smooth, but I have made up my mind that I must take the furry back with my own hands, and if I am only afraid of danger and hold back, then why should I come here?"
Jiao Ranjin knew that his 'sex' was as difficult to persuade as Tianchen, so he still said: "Young Master Lan, since the head of the family has 'handed over' me to protect you well, how can I let you go to such a dangerous place?"
"I'm not a kid anymore, Uncle Jiao. Besides," his gaze swept over Xiaotang, Ye Yi, Tao'er, Xiao Yue, Tongying and others, "With you here, I will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." β
Jiao Ranjin sighed, knowing that he couldn't resist him, so he had to say, "I hope this operation can go smoothly." Our goal is only to stop the group of fire warlocks led by Xue Ning, there is no need to confront them, when the time comes, you don't fall in love, Xue Ning himself will be dealt with by me. Got it?"
Everyone nodded, and Tianlan said with relief: "As long as the timing is right, everything will go smoothly." β
Jiao Ranjin looked at him for a long time, and everyone was confused, and then he suddenly took out the talisman that Tianchen 'handed over' to him, handed it to Tianlan, and said, "Young Master Lan, you have grown up. This decree was originally 'handed over' by the head of the family to me for your safekeeping, and now I will 'hand' it over to you for the head of the house." The command of this plan is yours. β
Tianlan took the order and said, "Uncle Jiao, thank you." β
Jiao Ranjin smiled kindly: "There is one more thing I forgot to say: Xiaolan, congratulations on finally growing up and becoming a person." β
