Chapter 1064: A tacit calculation

"People, sometimes it's too smart, but it's not a good thing!" Looking at the general generals in the tent, Shi Zhuang smiled: "Too smart, I can't help but think about simple things too complicated." will unconsciously put some of his thoughts on his opponent, and sometimes, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. ”

Liang Han was concentrating on picking the blood scabs between his fingernails, and when he heard this, he raised his head: "Is the general talking about Liu Xinda?" This guy is really smart, and he is also a capable person, and it is really not uncommon for us to fight so many battles and still be alive. ”

"It's not so benevolent this time." Li Dang smiled and said: "General, there is one thing I haven't figured out, why didn't this guy retreat at the first time?" ”

"Liu Xinda knows us quite well, and knows that our northern army not only has a large number of cavalry, but also our army is well-trained, and the soldiers are full of physical fitness. Shi Zhuang said with a smile.

"That's right!" Liang Han said: "If he dares to retreat, our cavalry can cut his troops into several large pieces, and then the foot soldiers will catch up and eat the piece that has fallen, and the cavalry will delay those who have escaped, and in the end, none of them will be able to escape!" ”

"It's just a matter of slow death and quick death!" Ren Xiaonian said with a smile: "Now that he is cowering on the Immortal Ridge, isn't he just waiting for death?" ”

"He's waiting for real reinforcements!" Luo Hongxin said. Although he is a martial champion, the seniority of those here is older than him. After saying this, he closed his mouth again.

"Wu Zhuangyuan will continue to talk!" Shi Zhuang said with a smile.

Luo Hongxin cleared his throat and said, "Liu Xinda actually doesn't want to fight us, but he knows that retreating in front of us is definitely a dead end, but if Xiang Zhen comes, he will have a way to live." During the day, we attacked again, and his defence was really leaky, but of course, we didn't use any powerful weapons. But when retreating, I actually set a small trap and sold a flaw to him, hoping that he could fight back for a while, but he was unmoved, so I guess he wanted to save his strength and seize the opportunity to escape. But now he has no chance at all, so the opportunity can only be after Xiang Zhen arrives in Guangshui. ”

Liang Han laughed: "What you said is not right, if he Liu Xinda really insists on the moment Xiang Zhen arrives, then they will have an army of seventy or eighty thousand, which is more than the number of us. How could he have fled? ”

Luo Hongxin hesitated for a while: "Maybe he thinks that even if Xiang Zhen comes, he is not our opponent, so he has already made up his mind to escape!" ”

Everyone shook their heads again and again, thinking that Luo Hongxin's guess was too outrageous.

Shi Zhuang clapped his hands and laughed: "Wu Zhuangyuan is really Wu Zhuangyuan, and he looks at the problem more than you people, but it is a layer deeper!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Han and the others were stunned.

"What did the general say? Could it be that you also agree with what General Luo said? Li Dang asked in surprise.

"Looking at Liu Xinda's series of actions, I'm afraid he has guessed something." Shi Zhuang said: "This gave me some new ideas. ”

"What does the general want to do?" Liang Han said.

"I'm thinking, should I concentrate on killing Liu Xinda completely, or let him live?" Shi Zhuang knocked on the table and said thoughtfully.

Li Dang was slightly surprised: "General, didn't you say that Xiang Zhen and Liu Xinda were all annihilated in Guangshui?" We managed to earn this time difference. ”

"This time is also that time!" Shi Zhuang said lightly: "I suddenly found that Liu Xinda has some ideas of his own, and this idea is not quite the same as Xiang's, which is a good thing." Liu Xinda is now putting up this battle, just to tell me that you can destroy me, but you also have to pay a sufficient price. I'm not afraid to pay the price, but if I can achieve my goal with fewer soldiers, and at the same time plant some nails for the future and create some cracks for the enemy, then why not? ”

Everyone was stunned.

When it comes to military affairs, the people here are experts, but when it comes to these things, they are dumbfounded and unable to answer.

"General, the previous plan was submitted to the Ministry of War, and Li Xiang approved it." Liang Han reminded. He is Shi Zhuang's direct subordinate, unlike Li Kang and Ren Xiaonian, who are subordinate to Right Qianniuwei.

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!" Shi Zhuang shook his head: "I will explain this matter to the Ministry of War and Li Xiang afterwards." ”

Hearing Shi Zhuang say this, Liang Han closed his mouth, it was obvious that Shi Zhuang had made up his mind. Fun read

Knocking on the table, Shi Zhuang said, "Here, I will reveal one thing to you first." Previously, this matter was only known to a few people, but today, there is no need to keep it secret. ”

Everyone was in high spirits.

"With the strength of my guard, it is actually quite difficult to gather and annihilate the two forces of Xiang Zhen and Liu Xinda. It's not that you can't win, but even if you win, you can only call it a miserable victory. So, we had a plan to beat the time difference. However, even this scheme is intended to confuse the enemy. To put it bluntly, the opponent of this plan can also guess it, and after they guess it, they will be more convinced. And all this is to lure Xiang Zhen's troops into this battlefield! Shi Zhuang said.

"Actually, we have another army of soldiers and horses, which are already moving in its rear, it is Li Hao's sailor!" Luo Hongxin shouted.

Shi Zhuang nodded: "Xiang Zhen withdrew from Huainan, and our army took over the Huainan lands, but what they may not have imagined is that it is not the real Right Qianniuwei who is recovering the lost territory in Huainan." Li Hao's sailors had already carried Li Mi's right thousand Niu Wei down the river and approached Ezhou. ”

Looking at the excited expressions of Li Dare and others, Shi Zhuang smiled faintly and said, "Counting the time, when the power of Allah arrives in Anlu, Li Bi's right thousand Niu Wei will launch a fierce attack on Ezhou, which is guarding the emptiness. Take Ezhou, and then the troops will chase after the real department. Work together with us to encircle it between Anlu and Guangshui and gather and annihilate it. ”

"But the premise is that we have to eliminate Liu Xinda's people first!" Li dared to say.

Shi Zhuang looked at him and asked rhetorically, "What do you think Xiang Zhen still has a chance to escape in such a situation?" ”

"It should be small!" Li dared to say.

"Liu Xinda probably thinks the same way." Shi Zhuang said: "So he has to prepare to work hard here, because he knows that in our eyes, destroying Xiang Zhensuobu is obviously much more valuable than annihilating his entire army here." If we can't take him all the time, we will only trap him here, and then transfer the main force to encircle and annihilate Xiang Zhen, won't his chance to break through come? ”

Li Dang blinked his eyes for a while before he said, "They are a group, if they fight like this, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Shi Zhuang smiled: "Do you think that everyone in the world is like our Tang Army, like an arm, a round and a heart?" When the wind is smooth, it is naturally hello, I am good, everyone is good, but when the disaster comes, it is necessary to fly separately. Liu Xinda is just a military leader, he used to rely on Zhu Youzhen for his own glory and wealth, and later took refuge in Xiang Zhen. If you want him to fight for whom, he won't do it! ”

"Then why not surrender us?" Ren Xiaonian just said this, and took another sip: "We don't want such a guy!" ”

Shi Zhuang smiled: "This is to the point, Liu Xinda also knows that we will not want someone like him, he surrendered to us, and in the end he will get nothing." He's not going to give up what he's holding! ”

Luo Hongxin pondered: "That is to say, if we don't waste our troops on such a person, he will also know and not come to provoke us, so as not to fold the capital in his hand, which is a tacit understanding." In this way, we have more troops to eliminate Xiang Zhensuobu and make the battle easier, and people like Liu Xinda, even if they have the ability, will not bring us too much trouble in the future, because this kind of person, as long as there is a slight gap, he wants to drill, and he has never had the courage to break the boat. But what I don't understand, General, is why do you say that this will cause problems for the future of the enemy? ”

Inside the big tent, other people were also staring at Shi Zhuang, and they also wanted to know the answer.

"It's easy!" Shi Zhuang said: "Under such a battle situation, Liu Xinda actually slipped away from under our noses with all his beards and tails, and Xiang Zhen, who came to rescue him, is finished, such a strange thing, do you think these people in the Southern Alliance will not understand it in their eyes?" They will even wonder if Liu Xinda has reached any agreement with us! ”

Liang Hanha laughed.

Shi Zhuang ignored him, and continued: "Where did Liu Xinda flee?" Gangnam. Jiangnan observation makes Qian Wenzhong relatively empty now, his soldiers and horses, because of disobedience to Xiang Xun earlier, fought with Xiang Xun, lost, and finally surrendered, and now Xiang Zhen has brought a part of his troops here, what will Liu Xinda do after leading his troops to flee to Jiangxi? He will occupy a piece of territory, because after this incident, the Southern Alliance will inevitably be suspicious of him, and if he wants to survive, he must have his own territory. This is equivalent to cutting Jiangnan apart, can Qian Wenzhong rest with him? In Qian Wenzhong, he can't provoke Xiang's family, and he is still afraid of Liu Xinda? There will be a quarrel between them. As far as Xiang Xun is concerned, for the sake of the overall situation, he will tolerate Liu Xinda, but he will never trust him again. With these things, it will be much easier for us to get Jiangxi in the future. ”

Hearing Shi Zhuang's analysis, everyone was convinced. The general's vision really saw farther and thought more than everyone else, everyone was still thinking about the battle situation in front of them, and the general had already thought about the future.

waited until everyone said goodbye and left the account, Shi Zhuang looked at Liang Han.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, the general just had the temperament of an old man!" Liang Han said with a smile. "This kind of calculating ability, Gongsun Lao'er is the best at it."

"I'm not a conspiracy, I'm a conspiracy!" Shi Zhuang said: "Smart people naturally understand. But what if you understand, he, Liu Xinda, will still follow my steps. Since the strategic goal of this time can be achieved by allowing the soldiers to shed less blood, what is the point of annihilating Liu Xinda's troops and horses? ”
