Chapter 15 The Summer Night Sings and the Moon Sinks
Xu You is in Qiantang, but his vision has been quietly peeking on the general trend of the northern and southern countries through the huge and incomparable intelligence network. After going out on the winter solstice, Zhan Wenjun officially took over the secret mansion, personally sat in the spring well, and sorted out the messy and chaotic information like the sand of the Ganges River into a clear statement, and submitted it to Xu You's desk.
Listening to the detailed analysis of He Wei, who knows the world and the north and the south well, these strips are no longer cold words, but incomparably mysterious strung together the wars from the desert north wasteland to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
If An Xiu was just to paralyze An Xiuming, Xue Xuanmo's 30,000 soldiers would never rush into battle, and it was more of a suspicious strategy. And Yao Ji also led the army to attack Yiguan before the Wei army arrived in Qinshui, defeated Changsun Xiang's town army, and firmly guarded the natural danger that Taihang Mountain must pass through to and fro. With the combat strength of Liangdama in the west, 10,000 people are enough to block the Wei army of 100,000 people in Yiguan, and it is difficult to advance an inch.
As for Yuan Yu, he is not a faint monarch who is reckless, although Beima is good at fighting, but the national strength is not as good as Chu, and the third line is fighting, which is the way to bring about self-destruction. Therefore, He Wei made the same judgment as Wen Ziyou, the western and southern routes are just a cover, and only the northern front can really make a big move.
In the final analysis, Wei has Cui Boyu, Liang has Wen Ziyou, and Chu has Yan Wan, all of whom are the masterminds of Shentong's strategic concept. Only Rouran has millions of elite riders, but as Yuan Yu said, brave and unscrupulous, worms, and falling into this chaos, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
And there was also a change in Jinling, since An Xiuming was assassinated, he no longer had the slightest trust in the Chinese army and the Taicheng guards, and it turned out that those generals who fought a hundred battles were either censored and executed, or exiled. Yudao really occupied the territory of Benwu Temple, changed it into a female Taoist temple, lived in it every day, accepted bribes from others, hoarded rare treasures, and filled the treasury with strange treasures, resulting in the flattering people being fortunate to advance, and the mediocre people being promoted, making the good Chinese army into a miasma.
Shen Du tried every means to advise, but An Xiuming didn't listen to it at all, he saw that the state affairs were hopeless, said that he was sick at home, and he would not return to the court as a counselor. Shen Muzhi persuaded him privately, but he was also driven out of the house, Xiao Xunqi was happy to watch the play, so no one in the court could reconcile the tension between the emperor and Shen Du. Even An Xiuming privately asked the age of Shen Du, the servant next to him, and the implication was that why he didn't die yet? When the news came out, Shen Du closed the door and thanked the guests.
Subsequently, the new imperial history of Cheng Yinya in the Taiji Hall court meeting denounced the fish road true traitor to mislead the country, and also quoted the poem "Hehe Zong Zhou, praise and extinguish" to satirize the fish road is really comparable to today's praise. Yu Shi Zhongcheng is responsible for admonishment, Yin Ya is the old man of the East Palace who has followed An Xiuming for many years, although An Xiuming is angry, but he didn't plan to kill him, but he was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown in Jiangzhou, and called him "Chunchen".
How could Yu Dao really swallow this breath, blow the pillow wind to An Xiuming, and mourned: "It's okay for me to be humiliated, but that Yin Ya used my mouth to insult me, but in fact, he insulted the lord as the king of Zhou You, such wolf ambitions, how can he be a pure minister?" ”
An Xiuming was furious, and ordered the Si Lifu to send the Eagle Bird Division to chase him halfway, and gave Yin Ya to drink poisoned wine and commit suicide. But in this way, Yu Daozhen was still angry, and once again slandered Yin Zheng and the previous rebellion case, so the Yin family was punished by the clan, and the capital was in an uproar, but no one dared to speak up, on the contrary, there was an endless stream of people who went to the Taoist temple to pay respects.
However, none of these attracted much attention from Xu You, and what really caught his attention was the whereabouts of Hengyang Wang An Xiuyuan. After An Xiuming killed his father and ascended the throne, he regarded this embarrassed younger brother as a minister of the humerus, and was named a captain, and supervised the military affairs of Xu, Yan, Qing, Hebei, and Henan, as well as the history of Xuzhou.
During the reign of An Zidao, An Xiuyuan served as the history of Xuzhou Thorn in the nature of gold-plated, and after the death of An Zidao, although it was still the history of Xuzhou Thorn, he coveted the prosperity of the capital and never took up his post. An Xiu clearly remembered his brotherly affection and never forced it, but this time the Wei army went south, on the one hand, let An Xiuruo be ready for battle, and on the other hand, let An Xiuyuan go to Pengcheng immediately to take up his post.
"Its wings, An Xiuming's edict said that it was to prevent the Wei army from feintting to attack Xiliang, and the actual plan was to two Huai, so let An Xiu sit in Pengcheng to facilitate the decision. In your opinion, is that so? ”
He Wei sneered and said, "Just rely on An Xiuyuan's straw bag? If Yuan Yu really wanted to take two Huai, he wouldn't dare to borrow three more dares. Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong and Qilang, from today onwards, to be ready to fight at any time! ”
Qi Xiao was startled and said, "What does An Xiuming want to do?" Pingyangzhou, Dingjingzhou? ”
Zuo Yan next to him frowned and said, "Does he really dare to risk the world's condemnation?" Aren't you afraid that the Wei army will take advantage of the situation? ”
"The king of Jiangxia is out of Nanyang, outside the gate of the enemy's country, but now he wants to cut off his way back, and the two of them make a judgment!"
"The mountain chief often says that soldiers must defend the country and protect the people, and there is no way for the king, my generation should stand up and fight, and I am afraid that he will not succeed?"
There was a lot of discussion in the Tiger Hall, and Xu You was pleased that after the first phase of training in January, nearly 57 students graduated from the third phase. These people basically have the vision and thinking to see the overall situation, and they are no longer simply relying on the command to act brainlessly, but have learned to deeply understand the meaning behind the order, and can implement the order as perfectly as possible according to the actual situation.
Troops, weapons, and supplies are not the decisive force for the victory or defeat of the war, and since ancient times, there has been no invincible army, so victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and an army can be defeated, but the army's spirit cannot be broken.
This is the biggest difference between a strong army and a weak army!
And now, Xu You can proudly say: Cuiyu Battalion, the military heart is available!
"Ye Min, what do you think?" Xu You named Ye Min again, this kind of treatment has been taken for granted by everyone, and most of them are more convinced, because Ye Min's answer every time is unthinkable, and it is particularly thought-provoking. What's more, he is now lecturing on ancient and modern war examples, which can be regarded as one of the lectures of the Tiger Hall, and he has gradually established a bit of prestige.
But why are most of them convinced?
Ye Min was isolated by Xu You in the fruit forest to train alone, never appeared in public, and did not participate in various confrontations, but he was promoted from a tun chief with only fifty people to a building master with five hundred people. If you are rewarded for nothing, no matter how slippery your mouth is, who knows if it is Zhao Kuo who talks on paper?
Ye Min stood up and said quietly: "An Xiu Caritas is a risky plan!" ”
Xu You smiled slightly: "Yes, this kind of thing is similar to taking Wushisan, and you will be reluctant!" ”
The glory of the soldiers is on the battlefield, and when they learn the news of the upcoming war, although the more than 100 generals are strictly ordered not to leak it, it is difficult to suppress the excitement in their hearts after all. The sentence they always hang on their lips: sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime, one of Xu You's famous sayings, has been fully and thoroughly implemented. Fifty miles of cross-country, emergency assembly in the middle of the night, super-strength polishing of various forces and skills, and confrontation exercises are closer to actual combat. From top to bottom, I feel that the brave and martial arts are not strong, what kind of sword swingers, Baibao Xianbei, Xiliang horses, against any army can destroy the withering and decaying, and win the battle.
Then, Ye Min's soldiers appeared in front of everyone for the first time and gave everyone a blow to the head.
The summer night is singing, the dawn moon will sink, it is the most tired and easiest time of the day to relax the vigilance, Ye Min led five hundred soldiers to quietly touch the outside of the camp, all wearing black clothes and black robes, first captured the guards on the watchtower, and then set fire to the camp, and set war drums around the Cuiyu camp, which made people keep beating. The camp thought that the enemy was attacking, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction and number of people, and there was a great chaos, Ye Min led the crowd to rush in with sticks all the way in, and he actually went back and forth, as if entering a no-man's land, Fang retreated safely.
After dawn, looking at the dilapidated camp, hundreds of people were slightly injured, more than 1,000 people had blue noses and swollen faces, and nearly half of them hung their heads, Xu You had a gloomy face, beat drums and performed martial arts, and began the second public lecture since the formation of the Cuiyu Battalion.
"Guan Yu, you all know that the famous man, according to Jingzhou and the Northern Expedition, was destroyed in the ban and surrounded Cao Ren, forcing Cao Cao to almost move the capital. However, he was defeated by Lu Xun and Lu Meng in an instant, not only losing Jingzhou, but also being in a different place. Why is that? ”
Lu Xun, a mere scholar, wrote a letter to Guan Yu, pretending to be humble in the letter, and touting Guan Yu's martial arts to cover the world, the master of Jin Wen Chengpu, and the strategy of Huaiyin to pull out Zhao, are difficult to surpass his achievements. Yes, even Jin Wengong and Han Xin can't compare, isn't Guan Yu arrogant and complacent? So Lu Meng crossed the river in white, and Guan Yu was defeated and took Maicheng, is it a pity? Pity! Pathetic? Not pity! ”
"Why not be pitiful? Because the art of war says that the army wins the police, the greater the victory, the more vigilant we must be, this is a truth that children know. Guan Yu got carried away and died in defeat, which was self-inflicted. And what about you? ”
Xu You's voice suddenly became stern, he is now a fourth-grade little grandmaster, deliberately exerting his majesty, which is enough to quietly affect everyone's minds, and said: "You soft eggs who have never even seen blood, but after a few months of training, do you think that the world is invincible?" Look at the ashes in the camp, look at your appearance, I, as a military commander, are all ashamed of your face! Ye Min only has 500 people, and he turned the Cuiyu camp of 5,000 people upside down, if you really encounter the enemy, do you still have your life? ”
The crowd in the audience lowered their heads in shame, their hands clenched, their temples tightened, and their chests were full of fire, almost burning their internal organs.
"Some people may be unconvinced, saying that Ye Min sneaked attack, but you must not forget that attacking the camp is the most common method used by the enemy. What about the precautions you are usually taught? When they were attacked, they all left behind, the officers did not see the soldiers, the soldiers did not see the officers, and they lacked emergency strategies and wisdom. Of course, there are exceptions, after the attack of Geng Bu's troops, the whole army was rigorous, stuck to the camp tent, and repelled the harassment and attack of Ye Min's troops, neither anyone was injured, and no ordnance and equipment were destroyed, which is worthy of praise. ”
"Zuo Yan!"
Zuo Yan took two steps forward and said loudly: "By the order of the army commander, Geng Bu's subordinates will be promoted to one level, and the salary will be doubled." ”
Geng Bu was only a hundred generals, and he was promoted to the lord of the building, and the hundreds of people in his department were all excited, but because of the military law, they did not dare to cheer loudly, biting their lips one by one, and their eyes were filled with indescribable joy.
"Wang Shibi!"
Wang Shibi took two steps forward and said in the same loud voice: "Except for Geng Bu, the rest of them from the military marquis down are all inspected and temporarily acted in the military affairs of various departments. If such a situation occurs again, they will be demoted or removed from office by military law! ”
At the same time, he also named three hundred generals, who performed the worst last night and suffered the greatest losses, so they were immediately demoted to Wu Chang, confined for three days, and started all over again. With such clear rewards and punishments, the soldiers had no objections, and those who were punished secretly encouraged themselves to wash away their shame in the future, and those who were rewarded did not dare to be proud and complacent, after all, the lessons of the previous car were still in front of them, and if they didn't want to be caught up, they could only practice harder.
Ye Min's soldiers were jokingly called the black-robed army by the Cuiyu camp because they wore black robes, and they became famous!
