"Hey! That's what you say! Ye Fu nodded and said, "We are still weak, but we will become stronger one day." Sometimes, it is a strategy to avoid the real and attack the false. But it is by no means forced to be treated negatively, but at the same time of actively responding, accumulating development in order to become stronger, and in the face of strong enemies in the future, it also has the strength to fight. ”

Hearing Ye Fu say this, Xu Gaozhuo immediately stood up and responded: "Yes, the students remember the teachings of the handsome!" ”

After Ye Fu had instructed these words, he stopped interjecting.

Listening to Xu Gaozhuo's discussion with his staff officers, after a long time, Xu Gaozhuo said to Ye Fu: "Marshal, according to your intentions, the Operations Department of the Military Office has drawn up a plan, and the students will tell you?" ”

Ye Fu nodded, Xu Gaozhuo stood up, and said to Ye Fu: "At present, the great enemy, the Tartars are attacking my border area, which has affected the original normal life order of Xianshan Town. Because of the destruction of the Tartars, many things could not be carried out. Therefore, the War Department believes that it is necessary to take the initiative to extinguish the arrogance of the Tartars. However, since the field combat capability of the Tartars is much stronger than that of our army, the War Office believes that this operation should be a large-scale joint clean-up, and strive to defeat the Tartars at one time! Let them not dare to appear again within the jurisdiction of the dangerous mountains. ”

"Large-scale joint cleanup, I think it's okay! For opponents who are stronger than us in terms of ability, our advantage lies in the fact that we have an advantage in numbers. One-on-one is not someone's opponent, so if you still lose ten against one or twenty against one, isn't it too embarrassing? Ye Fu said, "Besides, I heard what you mean that you want to simply use a few combat troops, right?" Second Town, Third Town? The number of people is indeed enough, but I am afraid that it will be self-defeating! ”

Xu Gaozhuo didn't understand his worries very well, and immediately asked, "Dashuai, I don't know what you're worried about?" Say it, and the students will refer to it for you? ”

Ye Fu scratched his head and said to Xu Gaozhuo: "With the second and third towns as the main forces, I didn't say anything about the idea of setting up, originally, it should be done." It's just that I think Geng Yuntai's night is not collected and involved. ”

Ye Fu began to fight the idea of not collecting at night again.

Xu Gaozhuo felt a little helpless.

He prefers to defeat the enemy with a dignified master, but Ye Fu always wants to take advantage of this kind of small tricks. This is probably one of the least reconcilable contradictions between the two.

Ye Fu saw what he meant and explained to him: "It's not that I want to add unnecessary parts to your arrangement, it's really that the arrangement of the Tartars always makes people feel a little surprised. We'd better prepare early, otherwise, once the Tartars have the upper hand, it will be far from easy to reverse this unfavorable situation, you know? ”

"So what exactly do you have to prepare?" Xu Gaozhuo asked, "With the strength of the second town, the third town, and the two towns, it can be said that it is more than enough to deal with the attack of the Tartars. Coupled with the fact that the night is not closed, it may be a finishing touch. But the students think that there should be more important things to do at night, and they should not waste their time on this matter! ”

Ye Fu smiled: "You, you, you are Xu Gaozhuo!" If Wang Zhi were here, he would probably say 'You are wrong'. You're never like that. What else do you say 'finishing touch', you can say what you think in your heart. I don't blame you, so why bother? racking my brains to flatter me, I'm afraid I don't think so, right? ”

Xu Gaozhuo was seen through by Ye Fu, but he didn't feel embarrassed, but said: "Dashuai, this is a misunderstanding of the student, you are standing in a different position from the student, and you will always see things more accurately from the overall situation." Instruct the students, and the students should think carefully. ”

"Well, you can do whatever you want. However, in this matter, I really have a deeper meaning. Ye Fu said, "The reason why the Tartars were able to take advantage of us is, in the final analysis, to use three words, blitzkrieg. ”

The three words Ye Fu said made Xu Gaozhuo think.

Ye Fu didn't leave him much time to think independently, but continued: "The so-called blitzkrieg, as the name suggests, is a lightning-fast tactic, which is blitzkrieg. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, the head general is 'the soldier is noble and fast', the so-called, and then the uncontrollable, the speed. The urgency of the rushing water, as for the drifters, the momentum is also; The disease of the bird, as for the destroyer, the festival also. As far as the troops are concerned, combat effectiveness depends only on three points, one is the strength of troops, the second is mobility, and the third is the impact force. Each of these three is related to speed. ”

"Oh?" Although Xu Gaozhuo understood the meaning of Ye Fu's three words, he felt a little dazed when they were put together. This concept is something in the war theory that has emerged in modern times, and it is no wonder that Xu Gaozhuo was unable to understand it for a while. He asked, "Marshal, please forgive the students for being stupid, what does this first and foremost, the strength of the army, have to do with speed?" This student is somewhat difficult to understand. ”

Ye Fu smiled: "This has a big stake! ”

He leaned back and said to Xu Gaozhuo and the staff officers attending the meeting: "For example, let me give you the simplest example. Suppose one of my cities is now under attack by the Tartars, and at this time, the forces defending and besieging the city are exactly equal. If the number of Tartars attacking the city is slightly larger, the city will be broken. And if I had a little more strength to defend the city, I would have been able to swallow up this besieging force. Well, now, the Tartars and our side send forces at the same time. At the same distance, the Tartars sent cavalry, and I sent a mixed force of infantry and artillery. Then, under the same conditions, without any suspense, it must be the cavalry of the Tartars who arrived first. So, is my city bound to be in danger? The force must be fast enough to surpass the opponent's speed in order to gain a solid advantage in a certain area. If there is no speed and the transportation is slow, it will inevitably be suppressed by the opponent's superior forces everywhere in any area. ”

Xu Gaozhuo nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Fu continued: "As for the mobility and impact, this is easier to understand. The so-called mobility and force can be confused with the strength of troops at some point. And the impact force is to use speed to create a surprise effect, which is a kind of deterrent to the enemy! It's like walking at night and being attacked by someone. Obviously, you are stronger than the other party, but the other party is hidden in the dark, and the surprise attack, you are blindfolded for a while, and it is inevitable that you will fall into his way. That's why I said that blitzkrieg is a very effective tactic, and the core of blitzkrieg is this speed! ”
