Chapter 264: Golden Body
"Heart?"
Tian Xin learned from Yu Zhong's appearance, and his right hand lightly clenched his fist to his heart, and he couldn't help but think about the meaning of Guan Yu's words.
This heart is one's own heart, there is only one heart, but there are many minds, there is a conscience, a principled heart, there is also a utilitarian greed, and a mediocre heart that is floating in the likes and dislikes of people.
There are many thoughts, and they are always changing, what is the main bias of their hearts?
Keding Central Plains to recover the Han Dynasty? can be regarded as an ambition, this is to quell the war, and it is also to repay Guan Yu and Liu Bei's promotion and trust.
Then, take charge and control of this empire, and let the empire move forward in the direction you want and plan.
But if you can't solve the aftermath, then after doing what you want to do, it's not too late to think about leaving, and you should seek a new direction of development.
Planning for the next 50 years with the current perspective is too wishful thinking and unrealistic.
Perhaps his remarks at the Northern Expedition ceremony would be regarded by Liu Bei and Guan Yu as confused and childish remarks.
Seeing Tian Xin closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, Yu Zhong became more and more confused.
Is it necessary to think so deeply? No matter how you think about it, there are only two choices that can be made at present, one is to treat it as if nothing happened, and do what should be done on the battlefield; The other is to reformulate the response policy, regard Ma Chao's left army as a target to attract the enemy, and carry out the tactics of exchanging the enemy and changing homes.
Ma Chao took the initiative to move forward and form a salient, with the intention of provoking the Wei army to fight.
The Wei army will not fight for two or three days, and when the Beifu soldiers establish a new camp on the west side, it will be connected with the Ma Chao camp area, and then it will be the official stage of the Han army.
During this period, if the autumn rain falls, then Ma Chao will attack by water, and the defense line of the third battalion of the eastern third battalion of the downstream Wei army will become paper paste.
So the situation is obvious, Ma Chao set up camp in the salient department, and built a dam to block the water by sticking to the nose of the Wei army...... This is to force the Wei army to fight.
Otherwise, the morale of the Wei army's eastern defense line would collapse by itself, which Zhang Liao could not tolerate...... This is obviously something that Cao Pi can't tolerate.
It is better to gamble with the defenders of the eastern defense line than to let these three battalions of troops be frightened by the water attack.
It is also because the eastern front defense area is in the lower reaches of Lishui, and the terrain is flat, so it is meaningless for Zhang Liao to spend manpower and material resources to build a strong small city as a stronghold.
The Wei army will definitely attack at night tonight, bullying the camp set up by Ma Chao is not stable enough, the fortification system is not perfect, and it is also bullying the Beifu soldiers who are rushing to participate in the battle.
War is like this, in essence, it is to bully the other side, defeat the other side, and kill the other side.
Ma Chao has already played the three cards of forcing the enemy to fight, doubting soldiers on the east road, and copying behind enemy lines on the east road, and he has a negative state of incomplete fortifications and one-third less combat power.
There are not many cards that the Wei army can play, it is nothing more than how many people come to attack at night, and how many people defend and respond, this is a multiple-choice question.
After Wei Jun played the cards, there were not many cards that he could play, either to rescue Ma Chao in a decent manner, or to change his home.
How to choose, as Guan Yu said, the choice is up to you, what you look at is the heart, the mood, the mentality, and the desire to pursue.
Tian Xin dismissed Yu Zhong and stood alone in front of the map and watched.
The various units of the Wei army have been stationed here for more than a year, and even the newly transferred troops have lived in the surrounding area for at least half a year. Then, with the surrounding flat and barren terrain, the Wei army launched a night attack, which was like going home at night.
Perhaps the surrounding area is already full of azimuth coordinates made and buried by the Wei army, and the night attack troops of the Wei army can be accurately in position and launch a continuous attack on Ma Chao in an orderly rotation...... You can also march in the dark to deal with yourself.
Therefore, the Wei army will definitely have ambushes to deal with them, and if they attack by themselves, they will definitely encounter ambushes, and they will definitely suffer losses in the early stage of ambushes...... Unless the ambush of the Wei army is activated and exposed.
Otherwise, a round of dense arrow rain broke out at close range in the dark night, which was extremely efficient in killing and injuring the marching troops.
If you choose to attack, you will be ambushed, and you will fulfill your obligations to friendly forces, this is the scene work, and it must be done.
If you do, you will suffer a loss, or even lose in the first round of encounters.
Thinking of this, Tian Xin raised his fingertips and slid across the silk map, he was a person who had not encountered a defeat, and this small defeat would affect the morale of the whole army.
Like the golden body of the god and Buddha in the temple, it is very scary to look majestic, if someone smashes a ball of mud up, it exposes the essence of the clay sculpture...... It's still mud.
He is still a human being, and if his undefeated golden body is damaged, the morale of the Han army will drop by one or two percent, from the top eight stars to seven stars or six stars; The morale of Zhang Liao's troops will skyrocket, and they will enter a high-spirited and fighting state, from three or four stars to five or six stars!
Thinking of this, Tian Xin couldn't help but close his eyes, and Ma Chao's smile appeared in front of him. Ma Chao also appeared in the embarrassed and pathetic appearance of welcoming back more than 200 corpses of the clan, crying and almost fainting.
There is also the narrow appearance of Ma Chao slaughtering sheep, grabbing sheep's hooves and blowing sheepskins.
Ma Chao is dead, and now that one is Zhao Chao.
Not only does the enemy want to break it, but it is estimated that Ma Chao also wants to throw a ball of mud over.
Guan Yu let himself follow his mind to fight this battle, but he ...... It seems unintentional.
What was originally wanted, what was fought for, had been obtained, or would be obtained.
Ambition can already be replaced by patience, waiting with peace of mind, and doing things step by step.
Don't think about the distant future, just think about the present, just want to win, with the least sacrifice, get the most results, that's all.
This is the principle of command in this battle, with victory as the ultimate goal, and the secondary goal is to reduce casualties and allow more people to see their families.
Ma Chao has decided to turn his back on the friendship between his fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms, and has also made some arrangements.
Now there are not many people who can see Ma Chao's face and actions clearly, and after a few days, the situation will be clear, and everyone can see it.
Therefore, it is impossible for me to calm, suppress, and cover up this matter, and I can't pretend that nothing happened, and I must express my position.
Is it patience, or fight back fiercely, make Ma Chao disgraced, and then fight each other?
We must fight, and if we seek unity through struggle, we will unite in!
He is not a petty clerk, and he must not obey, compromise, or maintain the overall situation.
When the fight starts, some people come down in person to persuade them, and they will not expand the incident.
It's really time for bystanders to add fuel to the fire and amplify the incident...... The only people who can be trusted are subordinates and swords.
In the face of bullying and calculation, if you swallow your anger, how can you protect your family and protect your followers?
You have to fight, you have to make Ma Chao suffer, this guy can have a long memory, and others will weigh things.
After his mind settled, Tian Xin coughed lightly twice, and raised his voice outside the tent: "Someone!" ”
A military officer on duty strode over, looking excited, clasping his fists, raising his chin and waiting with expectant eyes: "Here!" ”
"The commander of the battalion Sima Li Fu and the soldiers of each battalion are taking over the affairs of the battalion, and the rest of the battalion commanders and above will follow me to discuss the matter, and the rest of the battalion shall not be disturbed when the order is given."
The officers on duty visited each battalion to give orders in turn, during which Meng Da and Meng Xing, father and son, were also studying the map and meditating.
