Chapter 456: Anticipate the Enemy First

Sun Qi's court debated, and his attitude towards a group of Huan ministers was somewhat arrogant.

But he does have the capital to be proud of his talents.

After the court discussion, on the way out of the palace, he and Qiu Rong walked in front.

Behind him, a cadre of ministers gathered together in twos and threes, all pointing at him and talking in a whisper.

Qiu Rong was satisfied with his success in persuading King Huan to give up the land cut, and couldn't help but say:

"Sun Qi, today's court remarks, your military opinions are indeed unique, but is it a bit too arbitrary for you to say that the Liang army wants to sneak attack Xishan?"

"Xiangguo rest assured, with Xue Wu's combat habits, the Liang army will inevitably be like this, it depends on whether the king wants to take advantage of this opportunity." He said confidently.

Qiu Rong looked at him strangely, not understanding where he got his confidence.

Although King Huan didn't believe it either, he remembered Sun Qi's war plan, he pondered for a moment, and finally sent a royal edict to Xiang Ge, telling the latter that the court thought that the Liang army might attack Xishan and let him be on guard.

At the same time, he sternly refused to cede Fu'an.

When the news came back to Liangguo, King Liang was furious!

I thought that an inconspicuous little Fu'an, King Huan would not take it seriously at all, but I didn't expect it to be such a result.

"How can this be true? I think King Huan doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin! You'll have to lose a few more cities to know where it hurts! ”

Seeing that he was angry, Cai Yan stood up and said: "King, if you look at it from this point of view, our strategic layout should be detected, Huan Guo, someone has suggestions." ”

"King Huan has never paid attention to talents, even if Xiang Ge is called a famous general, it is in vain, and there should be a lot of peace-seeking factions, how can this be!" King Liang was puzzled.

Cai Yan shook his head and said, "No matter what, it is pointless for our army to raid Zishui again, because Fu'an is not ours, and the infantry army cannot land." ”

"En" King Liang frowned, and said after a while: "Then send an order to Xue Wu and let him continue to fight!" Continue to advance into the Huan realm and persecute King Huan! ”

If you want to destroy a country, you can't just plunder a few cities.

If he could, King Liang would use all the current results in exchange for a small place in Fu'an, because that was a grand strategy.

The current Huanliang front, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, is still in a state of confrontation, Wang Order, for Xue Wu, there is nothing to say, immediately began to arrange the battle plan.

When the Chinese army was in the big tent, when the troops were discussed, it was suggested that Xiang Ge should be urged to fight a decisive battle and overwhelm the other party with pure combat power.

It was suggested that a light cavalry should be sent out to attack the rear.

However, these opinions were all refuted by Xue Wu.

He said: "After several battles, the Huan army lost six cities, Xiang Ge should not fight a decisive battle with us, but only aggravate the defensive line." ”

"And if there is a light horse, not only is the movement too big, but it is also a lone army going deep behind it, I am afraid that there will be no return."

"What about Xue Shuai's opinion?" The adjutant asked.

Xue Wu stared at the sand table, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles, we need to understand now where Xiang Ge's focus is, and then surprise and raid the place he least expected." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sand table again: "Here, Xishan, Xiang Ge doesn't value it, we value it, and it is enough for our army to be a strategic stronghold." ”

"Immediately, General Tan Sheng, lead 20,000 elite soldiers, go through the starry night, and occupy Xishan!"

"At the same time, our army is facing the frontal battlefield, causing continuous pressure on the Huan army, so that Xiang Ge's attention cannot be distracted!"

"No!" The crowd clenched their fists.

On the other side, the Huan army camp.

King Huan's letter has naturally been conveyed long ago.

When all the generals gathered, some generals couldn't help but ask: "Xiang Shuai, I don't know what instructions are in the king's letter?" ”

Xiang Ge frowned slightly: "The king said that after discussion, the royal court believes that the Liang army is very likely to sneak attack Xishan. ”

"This" the generals looked left and right.

Someone said: "It's unlikely, right?" ”

Another humanitarian: "Yes, Xishan is not in the main battlefield, judging from the current battle situation, it makes no sense for the Liang army to take there."

"This does seem unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, if the Liang army continues to spread from Xishan, the consequences are unpredictable."

Xiang Ge pondered for a moment, he was still the boss after all, and said: "Of course, since it is the king's order, I dare not disobey, no matter whether the Liang army will sneak attack or not, it is better to divide a small group of men and horses and garrison them in advance." ”

There is no doubt in the result that due to the advance preparation of the Huan army, the Liang general Tan Sheng led 20,000 troops and was fatally ambushed on the main road to attack Xishan!

In Liang Jun's opinion, this was simply impossible, so he was completely defenseless and was caught off guard.

Tan Sheng was defeated, lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and returned in embarrassment.

This is the first victory of the Huan army since the battle of Huan Liang, although it is a small victory, but it is enough to boost the morale of the army.

Xue Wu, on the other hand, was a little confused.

Because he has a deep study of Xiang Ge's combat concept, this small defeat should not have happened.

But how did he know that this was not Xiang Ge's plan, but a little cloth that was still unknown.

From this Xiao Zhan, it cannot be seen that Sun Qi is by no means a boastful person.

It's about the real anticipation of the enemy.

The news was transmitted back to the Huan State court, and the king of Huan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but praise Sun Qi, and at the same time did not eat the preface, sent officials, and found Sun Qi's residence with a special person.

In the dilapidated courtyard, the royal edict was unfolded, and the official read aloud:

"The king's edict, Sun Qi expected the enemy first, severely defeated the Liang army, greatly boosted the morale of our army, and gave a hundred gold, that is, he was ordered to enter the palace tomorrow to discuss state affairs"

What does this edict represent for a civilian, it represents a step to the sky!

But Sun Qi knelt below, but his face was not shocked, as if all this was expected by him.

"Sun Qi, thank you."

He said in a calm voice.

Then, the attendant behind him stepped forward and handed over a whole tray of gold.

"Xiuniang accept it." Sun Qi said as a matter of course.

"Hmm." The wife suppressed her excitement.

After the edict was announced, Sun got up, Xiuniang took the tray, and the official also arched his hand: "Congratulations, I hope to live up to the king's trust and say goodbye." ”

"Slow down, adults." Sun Qi also arched his hand.

After he left, Xiuniang was holding the gold, and she could no longer hide her excitement: "Husband"

"Huh." Sun Qi smiled and said indifferently: "Just a hundred gold, what a way, this, it's just a small lottery, after this battle, I will let the people of the world know my Sun Qi's name!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Xiuniang nodded desperately.

In fact, her family background is good, after marrying Sun Qi, she believed in her husband, for his ideals and ambitions, in order to support him to study everywhere, she sold all her dowry, and never had any complaints.
