Chapter 273: The Application of the Art of War on Both Sides

With the Ming Jin of Houjin withdrawing troops, there was a cheer on the city wall of Shanhaiguan, and all the soldiers looked at Zhu Hao, and their eyes were full of admiration.

Guan Yu was even holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and stepped forward to hug his fist at Zhu Hao:

"Your Highness, this move is comparable to the reincarnation of Marquis Wu!"

"When Wuhou fought the Confucianism and scolded Wang Lang to death, he may not be able to surpass His Highness's demeanor today!"

The Wuhou in Guan Yu's mouth refers to the first strategist of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, who is known as Wolong, Zhu Hao listened to Guan Yu's words, and was not complacent, but shook his head very soberly and said:

"This king, don't you dare to compare yourself to Zhuge Wuhou, the gang under the city is not Cao Wei's army!"

"The two are not the same!"

"Okay, all the soldiers have worked hard today, let's rest for the time being!"

"This king expects that within three days, there should be no big war!"

"If the other party scolds and needs to deal with them, it will be treated as a dog!"

Saying that, Zhu Hao walked down the city wall with a smile, the reason why Zhu Hao said so definitely was because Zhu Hao decided that after Houjin retreated this time, he would definitely build siege equipment.

The construction and transportation of siege equipment will take three or five days, so Zhu Hao decided that Houjin will not make much action within three days.

The fact that Houjin did not have siege equipment was the confidence of Zhu Hao to stand on the city wall today, angrily scolding Nurhachi and scolding Fan Wencheng.

Otherwise, Zhu Hao's appearance like this will definitely make the two sides, after entering the battle, it will become an endless scene, of course, Zhu Hao is actually not afraid of Nurhachi's desperate bet.

Because Zhu Hao knew that according to his defense, even if Nurhachi desperately attacked Shanhaiguan, he probably would not be able to hold Shanhaiguan, and even Liaoyang and Shenyang, which had already been captured, would not have extra troops to defend it.

If he can consume Houjin's combat power on a large scale, Zhu Hao doesn't mind fighting to the death.

After Zhu Hao went down to the city, he returned to the General Soldier's Mansion, and then summoned the generals again and announced:

"After today, tomorrow Jianyu will inevitably come to scold!"

"The generals must restrain their subordinates, no matter how the other party insults tomorrow, don't talk back, don't go out of the city!"

"Those who violate the order will not be pardoned!"

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, thinking that Zhu Hao had already said something similar on the city wall just now, and they didn't understand why they had summoned everyone again, emphasized it once, and ordered that they couldn't even talk back.

Although the generals didn't understand the intention of Zhu Hao's order, they didn't ask more, but all clasped their fists and saluted:

"The last general commands!"

After the generals left, Wei Xiaobao stepped forward and asked:

"Your Highness, don't let people go out of the city to fight, this can be understood!"

"Why can't you even talk back?"

"Your Highness, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

Zhu Hao smiled when he heard this, and said paradoxically:

"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: 'Surprise and attack unprepared!' ”

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he stopped speaking, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Wei Xiaobao was deeply frowned, very puzzled.

However, Wei Xiaobao has followed Zhu Hao for a long time after all, and knows that if Zhu Hao doesn't want to say, it is useless for him to ask, and he doesn't dare to ask Zhu Hao a second time, he can only wait for Zhu Hao to reveal his purpose with doubts.

Compared with the happy faces of all the soldiers in Zhu Hao's camp, after Nurhachi returned to the camp, his face was indeed cloudy, and he was so frightened that all the generals did not dare to speak.

"Immediately order people to build siege equipment!"

"Be sure to send it to Shanhaiguan within three days!"

"I want to fight with that Zhu Youzhen child!"

"I don't believe it, my 80,000 iron horsemen can't capture a small Shanhaiguan!"

"I want to let these Ming people know that our sons and daughters of the grassland can't help but use tactics to capture the city, and they can also take the city by storming!"

As soon as Nurhachi's words were finished, Fan Wencheng, who had just woken up, stepped forward with a pale face and said:

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: 'Go to the army to attack and strategize, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city'!"

"Your Majesty can't give up on it, beg for it!"

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Fan Wencheng's words, Nurhachi didn't understand at all, and was very dissatisfied with Fan Wencheng's knowledge in front of him:

"Mr. Fan, those things of you Han people are not good in me!"

"I don't know what you said about the Art of War, but I have captured so many cities in the Ming Dynasty!"

"You Han people know a lot, but didn't you still suffer defeat at my hands?"

"It can be seen that your set of things is not easy to use!"

"Alright, you better go down and rest!"

Fan Wencheng listened to Nurhachi's dissuasion, so he explained in the vernacular:

"Your Majesty, although you haven't read The Art of War, you have used a lot of its theories!"

The meaning of what the minister just said is:

Sun Tzu said: 'In military action, we should first use stratagem to win, then use diplomatic means, then use soldiers to conquer, and finally conquer the city!' ’”

"Looking at His Majesty's way of victory, the ministers are all using strategy first, and then using soldiers, and there has never been a siege of the city, which is in line with the theory of "Sun Tzu's Art of War"!"

"What Your Majesty said today is to give up the best policy and take the next policy, which is really unwise!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Nurhachi listened to Fan Wencheng's preachy tone and explained to him, and couldn't help but think of the scene where Fan Wencheng humiliated him in front of the two armies today, and snorted coldly:

"Mr. Fan, you said to use a trick?"

"I want to use a trick too!"

"Tell me what strategy you have to help me capture Shanhaiguan?"

"Do you think that child Zhu Youzhen will be fooled by you?"

"Do you still think I'm not ashamed enough today?"

The more Nurhachi said, the more angry he was in his heart, and finally he raised his voice and shouted angrily Fan Wencheng:

"Don't give me back yet!"

"I've made up my mind, I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"

Fan Wencheng's face was blue and white when he was scolded by Nurhachi, but Fan Wencheng did not stop his persuasion, and continued to speak:

"Your Majesty, although the plan may not work, we can use soldiers!"

"Yichen has seen it, why don't we take turns scolding tomorrow!"

"If the other party can go out of the city to fight, our 80,000 Eight Banner soldiers will definitely let the other party go and never return!"

"In this way, we will inevitably be much less expensive than a direct siege!"

Although Nurhachi was angry at the moment, he was not unwise.

He listened to Fan Wencheng's words, thinking that it would take time to build siege equipment, if what Fan Wencheng said could be successful, then it would indeed be much better than siege, so thinking about Nurhachi, he said:

"So do as the gentleman says!"
