Chapter 265: Preemptive Strike

Meng Da, Meng Xing's father and son are very terrifying in the eyes of Zhang Liao, and they always feel that their actions will be seen through by Zhang Liao, or make targeted arrangements.

There is a feeling that a dog bites a hedgehog and has no way to bite it, and it is okay not to move, but it will hurt if it moves...... If you don't move, you will be beaten.

Probably ordinary generals of the Wei army and the Wu army will also have such a sense of powerlessness when facing Guan Yu and Tian Xin, as if whatever arrangement they make will be seen through and countered.

In the face of famous generals, ordinary generals lack self-confidence...... In addition to the 'iron wall' famous generals who are good at defending the city, the reputation of other famous generals is the sword of the country.

Meng Da held a bag of tricks in his hand, which was a wargame carved by Seiko, staring at the map, and heard his son wonder: "Father, Ma Chao has always been close to Xiahou, how can the contrast between the front and back be so great now, if the two of them?" ”

"Guy has the heart of retreat and indisputability, which makes Ma Chao uneasy and frightened."

Meng Da's tone was gentle, and he analyzed Ma Chao's changes from his own perspective: "Ma Chao is contaminated with Hu Feng, seems to be eclectic, implements no rules, and advances in profit." And the prince seems to be bold and reckless, but he has a temperament to protect the old. Therefore, Ma Chao was originally willing to work with the prince and marquis, and he wanted to entrust him with a century-old thing. ”

"It's just that the prince and the marquis are running back and forth, which has contributed to the knighthood of Duke Zhao, and Ma Chao no longer needs the prince and marquis."

"During the post-Northern Expedition ceremony, the prince had the heart of retreat...... With the current status of the prince, when this statement was spoken, everyone was shocked. My father and son have no way out, and they are willing to advance and retreat with the prince and marquis, Ma Chao is already the Duke of Zhao, how can he follow him? ”

What's more, he was influenced by Hu Feng, and he admired the strong the most. He didn't dare to make a mistake in front of His Majesty and Duke Song, and when he saw the prince's retreat, he would think about it. ”

Meng Da said with a smile, and mocked in a sneering tone: "If the prince and the prince go to return to the rivers and lakes, he, the Duke of Zhao, will not be able to sit steadily, so he will have to take the help." He also guessed His Majesty's thoughts, and wanted to use this to offend the Duke of Song and the prince, and wanted to be His Majesty's loyal and lonely minister. I expected that His Majesty would respond soon. ”

Meng Xing was very teachable, and said: "Father, Xiahou is good with Song Gong and Wei Gong, and I am afraid that he will be alienated by Ma Chao because of this." ”

Meng Da just hummed and didn't comment on this.

If the father and son do not refute each other, it is tacit.

Dahan Sanke developed into a big Han four, and they also walked together in a group, there was really a time, there was a move that fell from the sky to beat down, and the first one to be beaten down was most likely Ma Chao.

Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys is nothing more than that.

Meng Xing was about to say goodbye and return to the Huya military camp area, when he happened to get an order from the military officials, so he gathered the surrounding military horses and battalion governors and went to Tian Xin's big tent together.

Since the restructuring of the Beifu Army, the abolition of the army-level military has greatly enhanced the influence of the Beifu Gongcao, Changshi, and Supervisor Army on the school-level military officials.

The rise in the influence of the staff of the Northern Mansion not only encroached on the vacancies left by the various military canons, but also indirectly overtook and deprived the general of the power to supplement, supervise, promote, and reward the government soldiers.

The replenishment and reorganization of the government soldiers were in the hands of the shogunate, and the supervision and training were in the hands of Sima, and the generals only had the right to promote and reward the reciprocal and recommend, and whether they could be approved or not, and how to formulate specific rewards and promotions were all decided by the Beifu staff group.

It was only during the war that the eight generals of Beifu could get the command of the battle...... But how to fight specifically, the command of the formation is still in Tian Xin's hands.

The eight generals of Beifu only optimized their tactics before the battle, commanded the army to respond to the role of the whole army, and more detailed and important tactical formulation, army marching, and garrison arrangements were all handled by the military Sima, and the general only had the authority to supervise and inspect.

In a sense, since the reform of the Beifu, in addition to the personal soldiers, the remaining subordinates and many departments have been dismantled and absorbed, and they have completely become government soldiers.

And they followed Tian Xin to accumulate military merits, and they had already paid homage to the generals, so they were waiting to be crowned marquis, increase their food, and improve their qualifications, status, and influence.

When the upper position is vacant, Tian Xin will recommend him and them, and the process is as simple as that.

Hand over control of most of the ministry in exchange for a guaranteed ticket to the position of minister.

This is an inevitability, either hand over the troops to Tian Xin to be reorganized into Beifu soldiers, or hand over the troops to Liu Bei.

Therefore, the fierce generals that the Beifu soldiers can really fight are not the eight generals of the Beifu, but the three generals of the internal army, the left guard general Shef, the right guard general Rode, and the cavalry general Jiang Liang; The brave combat style of the Outer Sixth Army was the six marching Simas: Huya Xie Jing, Ying Yang Lin Luozhu, Yang Wu Du Yi, An Zhong Erxiu, Jianxin Xiahou Ping, and Zheng Beitian Ji.

Tian Ji himself was subordinate to the Northern Mansion as Zhaoyang Sima, and he also led the Northern Army on behalf of Tian Xintong as the commander of the Northern Army Headquarters.

The Northern Expeditionary Corps was restructured into the Northern Shogunate and the Northern Prefecture, and the Northern Expeditionary Army controlled by Tian Ji was only a military-level number.

As everyone can see, there are nine people in the eight generals of Beifu in Tian Xin's eyes.

After the Northern Expedition was completed, the generals Meng Da accumulated meritorious deeds, and they would be pushed to fill the position of ministers and spread their influence.

As the twenty-six battalion governors, generals, and fifteen Sima people gathered one after another, the supervising army Pang Lin and Changshi Yang Yi also came to the square from the small tent where they were resting next to Tian Xin and opened the big tent with the open roof.

The big tent is more like a courtyard house...... No, it should be built like four long and narrow bamboo sheds.

The skylight is kept purely for the purpose of lighting the fire at night to facilitate the dispersal of smoke.

Yu Zhong, the chief bookkeeper, held a plate of written troop transfer documents, and Zhang Wenze, the chief secretary, stood behind Tian Xin with a cold face and a nine-section bamboo whip in his arms to maintain order in the meeting.

It really doesn't hurt to be whipped on the body by these nine bamboo sections, and it is a small matter to be whipped by Zhang Wen, and being impeached by Zhang Wen is a big deal.

Generally speaking, small matters are whipped, major matters are impeached, and judgments are made by citing legal precedents...... These were all grasped by Zhang Wen, and after Tian Xin signed the judgment, the judgment took effect, and then Zhang Wen executed it.

Discipline inspection, trial, conviction, and execution, except for the necessary link of Tian Xin's signature, almost all the rest are in Zhang Wen's hands, who is not afraid?

What plague god? Zhang Wen is the plague god.

The firewood crackled and burned vigorously, and as Tian Xin sat down, these people also held their breath and waited for orders.

They are all their own people, and there are few etiquette rules, if it weren't for Zhang Wen staring, maybe someone would have gone to feed the sleeping little tiger on the side.

Tian Xin put his battle helmet on the table, and the top of the battle helmet was woven from blue, red and white ribbons surrounded by curved and shaped rattan wood, as if it were ...... Pikachu's lightning tail is twisted and upturned towards the back of the skull, and the colored ribbons form three color blocks, red, white and blue, a bit like the flag of the Hip Country.

The helmet rattled, and Tian Xin glanced at Yu Zhong.

Yu Zhong got up: "Tonight, the thief army will be likely to attack the left army camp at night, the Zhao Gong camp will be connected from end to end, and there will be 36 battalions of the four armies in front and behind, and the cautious garrison can be spent safely." There is no need for our army to rescue, but the situation is unpredictable, and our army cannot sit idly by. ”

"Therefore, the soldiers of the 26th battalion of our army should recuperate and recharge, and when the Wei army is about to retreat, they will pursue it with the momentum of tailing."

Yu Zhong said as he picked up the troop transfer documents and handed them to the generals, who read them and distributed them to the military commanders, and finally fell into the hands of the battalion governor

This is a slightly out-of-the-ordinary battle plan, in simple terms, just four words, to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Eight words: watch the fire from the other side, and strike later.

It's complicated and simple, that is, Ma Chao fights Ma Chao, Zhang Liao fights Zhang Liao, don't care how this battle is fought at night, the Beifu soldiers just need to recuperate normally.

Then, when it was about to dawn, the army struck to avoid a night battle that was inferior.

In the night battle, the officials of their own side could not see the heroic posture of Tian Xin's sudden formation, and their morale rose limitedly, and they might be deceived by the false information transmitted by the Wei army.

In the same way, when the various ambushes of the Wei army fought, even if the friendly troops around them were defeated, the officials did not know it, but they could still fight tenaciously and maintain a certain level of fighting spirit.

What's more, since the Wei army was fortified and cleared, the Beifu soldiers were no longer clear about the surrounding landforms, and they suffered a lot in the night battle.

Since you have suffered a loss, you will not fight.

Let the Wei army ambush soldiers and night raid teams who are familiar with the terrain to fight Ma Chao...... The more smoothly the Wei army fights, the less likely it is to take the initiative to retreat, and the war will drag on until dawn; If the Wei army doesn't play well, and Ma Chao's defense is superior, then what else will he do when he goes out?

But as an ally, you can't just sit still.

Therefore, the cavalry general Jiang Liang received an order to organize a group of knights who were good at riding and archery to stand by.

If the Wei army attacked the left army at night, then this ranger galloped from their own Yongdao to the left army camp of Ma Chao, and shot arrows to encourage the battalions of the left army to hold on.
