Chapter 1498: Trickery
Sun Dayong didn't speak, just stood there quietly and watched around vigilantly.
Lin Jue turned his head and smiled: "Brother Sun, seeing that you seem to be preoccupied, do you feel that it is difficult for us to break through the current predicament?" Are you worried about this? ”
Sun Dayong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Dayong never doubted that Dashuai could lead us out of the predicament, and my brothers and I firmly believe this. It's not sycophancy, it's true. It's just that the current situation is indeed a bit difficult. Fighting and not being able to fight, the grain and grass materials trapped in the mountains are consumed very quickly, and they are about to be exhausted. It's really worrying. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "How many days can the grain and grass materials last?" ”
Sun Dayong said: "Seven days at most." Now there is a serious shortage of water in the mountains, and a few newly dug wells are almost dry in three or four days, and the water seeping out every day is simply not enough, so we have to scoop out the mud water and precipitate the sediment before we can barely drink it. And so it will soon be broken. Master Yang Xiu came to tell me, and he tried his best to find water on this hill, but there was really no way. He didn't know what to do. ”
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Why didn't he come to report to me in person?" ”
Sun Dayong said: "He felt extremely ashamed and refused to tell the marshal about these troublesome things. He said that the marshal asked him to be in charge of the logistics of the army, but he failed to let the marshal worry, and he blamed himself very much. Right now, he's personally leading people to dig a few more wells along the dry pool to the north. Hopefully out of the water. But I'm afraid the chances are slim. From yesterday to today, he has drilled two or three wells in several places north and south of the hill, but no water has come out. Lord Yang Xiu is going to despair. ”
Lin Jue nodded slightly and said: "It's no wonder it's difficult for him, we can't go to the Bianhe River to get water, the army has a huge amount of water, it's really difficult for him." He is not to blame for this, our strategy is to stick to it, and the lack of water is an expected difficulty. ”
Sun Dayong said: "But if there is no water, the people and horses will not last for two or three days, which is not a joke." ”
Lin Jue looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Today is March 11th, right?" ”
Sun Dayong didn't know what he meant, but he also remembered the days, and nodded: "Yes." ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "You go to Yang Xiu in a while and tell him not to worry about the water problem, he will solve it." Not...... You just tell him that 'it rains a lot during the Qingming season'. He understood everything. ”
Sun Dayong recited 'It rained during the Qingming Festival', and said with a wry smile: "What kind of dumb riddle is this handsome?" The lowly is confused, and the lowly also wants to know why reciting a poem can solve the problem of drinking water. Is it a spell? ”
Lin Jue laughed and said, "Spell? The brother laughed. That's the case, the day after tomorrow March 13 is the Qingming Festival, the Qingming Festival rain this poem is not written blindly, every year the Qingming Festival is going to rain nine out of ten, this is already the common sense of the festival. I expect that the rain will be more abundant this year, because it has not rained for a long time. Yang Xiu only needs to be prepared to receive rainwater for storage, and the rain will come soon. Our army will soon be out of water to drink. ”
Sun Dayong suddenly realized, although he had some doubts in his heart, how could Lin Dashuai be sure that it would rain on the Qingming Festival. But looking back, it seems that I have memories that the Qingming solar terms in the past were spent in the spring rain and gloomy weather. It's kind of bizarre. Sun Dayong had ever considered the details of this kind of time, and when he thought about it carefully, he admired Lin Jue even more. Lin Dashuai is so proficient even in the sky, it is really Zhuge who is alive. Of course, Sun Dayong didn't understand that the Qingming Festival is the time when the cold and warm air currents converge densely, which can easily cause rain to fall. Although it may not necessarily rain during the Qingming season, it is also nine times out of ten according to common sense. Moreover, the place on Lin Jue's body that has been injured in the past few years has begun to ache, which is a sign of low air pressure, every time the weather changes, the air pressure becomes low, and the wound will be faintly sore, which is also a sign. Therefore, Lin Juecai concluded that the weather must change before and after Qingming. It's not the reincarnation of Zhuge either, but the conclusion of common sense and serious speculation.
"I see, that's great. If it rains, there will be no shortage of water. I will go and tell Lord Yang in a while, I will not say the reason, just read this poem to see if he can understand. Hahaha. Sun Dayong laughed.
Lin Jue smiled: "He will definitely understand, he is a scholar, and he has studied the seasonal solar terms a lot." ”
Sun Dayong nodded yes, and suddenly asked: "Dashuai, I have some questions in my heart, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Asking is, looking at how hard you are holding back, Liang Qishi also wants to ask questions, and you should do the same." I guess all you want to ask about it is about me letting Bing'er break through and deliver a letter. ”
Sun Dayong nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly." The marshal asked Mrs. Bai Bing to send a letter out to contact Lord Ma and Luoyan Valley, which is understandable. After all, we're stuck here, and we have to find a way to get foreign help. I guess you must have asked Master Ma to go to the remnants of the Northwest Army led by Sun Wanchun and try to make them loyal to the new court. If it can be done, we will have 60,000 or 70,000 more soldiers and horses to help. Coupled with the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyan Valley, nearly 100,000 troops can be gathered to relieve the siege. Yes and no? ”
Lin Jue nodded slightly and said: "Brother Sun is still very smart, I did ask Ma Bin to contact the remnants of the Northwest Army face-to-face, I believe that Sun Wanchun will be loyal to the new emperor." But I didn't want them to save us. Even if Sun Wanchun is willing to return to the new dynasty, they will definitely not have time to rush here to rescue us. ”
Sun Dayong frowned and groaned: "Yes, this time and again, it will take at least ten days and half a month." By the time they arrived, we had already run out of ammunition and food, and if we didn't get to the rescue, it would be pointless, and we would be in danger. Then, Marshal, we
What kind of strategy to break through? Dashuai, it's not that I don't have confidence in you, I just want to have a bottom in my heart. Otherwise, I always feel unsteady in my heart. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "That's it, you go and ask Liang Qima Qingshan Shen Tan and them to come to my big tent, and I will talk to you well." ”
Sun Dayong hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly turned his head and said softly: "Dashuai, do you really want to call Vice Marshal Shen to come too?" ”
Lin Jue looked at Sun Dayong and said, "Brother Dayong, Vice Marshal Shen is our brother, don't forget this." Between brothers, there are many things that don't need to be taken care of. ”
Sun Dayong bowed, nodded and said, "I understand my humble position." ”
……
Under the lights of the big tent, Lin Jue informed everyone of the letters he had written in the evening for the carrier pigeons to send out. Lin Jue did this without telling anyone, and the carrier pigeon was also released from the top of the Range Rover Tower by himself, so the generals didn't know about it at all. Hearing this, all the generals were amazed. Because the generals of the Luoyan Army already knew some of the methods of the Jurchen army, and they would use Hai Dongqing's means to intercept information, Lin Jue had already told them, did the marshal do this, did he forget this risk? There were many doubts in everyone's hearts.
"Dashuai, I'm afraid I can't send this letter out, more than a dozen Haidong Qingtian raised by Wanyan Agu are hovering in the sky every day, and a few of us were still talking together yesterday, no wonder Dashuai wants to send Mrs. Bai Bing to risk breaking out in person, I'm afraid it's because I'm afraid that the letter will be robbed by the other party." How did the handsome man really write a letter for the carrier pigeon to send out? Isn't that a clear indication that they want to be intercepted? How is this good? Wanyan Agu Da should have fully known Dashuai's thoughts. Liang Qi couldn't help but say loudly first.
"Brother Liang, you are honest enough. The big handsome must have done it on purpose, can't you see it? The content of the letter was supposed to be fake news that deceived them. After deceiving Yan Agu, he was deceived. Otherwise, why would the handsome let the white girl risk going out to contact? The White Girl is the one who really sends the news and orders out. Lu Yi had a rare opportunity to laugh at Liang Qi, and immediately joked.
Liang Qiyi slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, yes, how could the handsome be so negligent?" The letter must have been false to deceive them. Hehe, it turns out that the marshal deliberately let them intercept this letter, just to deceive them. It's me Liang Qi who thinks simply. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But I don't know what the marshal wrote in the letter? What did you fool them? Speaking out, the brothers are also happy. ”
As soon as Liang Qi said this, everyone laughed and said, "Yes, yes." What did the marshal write to deceive them? Is there a trap designed to make them fall into it? I'd like to know. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Brothers really want to know, right?" I have here a draft of the letter, and you can take it and see it. ”
Lin Jue handed a few drafts of the letter to Ma Qingshan, who took it and stood up and read it aloud. After only a short paragraph, the generals who had been waiting to listen to the jokes and deception opened their mouths in shock, and their expressions became embarrassed. When Ma Qingshan finished reading the letter, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Brother Lin, what are you...... I told them everything. In addition to a few deceptions, the weakness that we are most afraid of about the importance of my Luoyan Valley is written in the letter. This...... Doesn't that expose our greatest weakness? Although you concealed the number of soldiers and horses left behind in the mountains, saying that there were only 10,000 men. But even if they conceal the strength of the remaining 20,000 people, if they decide to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. Did you fail to figure it out, or did you have another purpose? Shen Tan frowned and shook his head and said.
Lin Jue didn't answer, just looked at everyone and laughed without saying a word.
Liang Qi frowned and said: "Dashuai shouldn't be a mistake, it should be done on purpose." But it does expose our weaknesses. ”
Ma Qingshan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The marshal should have written this letter very well that they would intercept this letter, but after the other party learned of our weakness, he would send troops to attack my Luoyan Valley...... That's it...... That's it...... However, once they move their troops and leave, we can take the opportunity to break out. This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”
When everyone heard Ma Qingshan's words, they suddenly came to their senses. Liang Qi jumped up and said, "I see, it turned out to lure them to transfer troops and leave." A few days ago, they had already left tens of thousands, and if they wanted to attack our Luoyan Valley, they would have to transfer at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Then we can fight with them. What a plan, what a plan. What a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain. ”
Everyone applauded in unison, but Shen Tan frowned and said: "Good is good, if you can make a plan, you can reduce the number of besieging enemy troops, which is conducive to the last fight of our army to break through." However, the other party may not be fooled. Didn't Brother Lin say that the Jurchens who raised Hai Dongqing to intercept the information were learned from Wanyan Agu's mouth? That being the case, how could Wanyan Aguda be fooled? It is clear that the other party has a plan, and he should also understand this. ”
Shen Tan's words instantly silenced the big tent, and everyone thought about it carefully, isn't that the case? In the eyes of Wanyan Aguda, the other party knew that he had the ability to intercept information, but he still used carrier pigeons to deliver letters, which was clearly fraudulent. In this case, how could Wanyan Aguda be fooled. In other words, Lin Dashuai's plan was actually in vain, and the other party would not be fooled at all.
Seeing that everyone was silent, with a look of pity, Lin Jue smiled and said, "Brother Shen, brothers, you look at things too superficially, you don't understand Yan Agu at all. In other words, you don't understand the mind of people like Yan Aguda. Wanyan Aguda was a careerist, and he was ambitious, intending to occupy the whole world and become a vast land that included the Liao Kingdom and the Great Zhou
Earth, the master of billions of living beings. The character of this kind of person, in addition to being arrogant and conceited, is still suspicious and thoughtful. If you live like an ordinary person, you are very wrong. I've been in contact with him for a while, and although I don't know him well, I firmly believe that he is the kind of person who is conceited and arrogant, but also suspicious. This kind of person, the most normal thing will become unusual in his eyes. He will think a little more, think a little more, because he wants to confirm the ultimate truth of everything, and he will not simply agree with the results presented on the surface. ”
Most of the generals scratched their heads and didn't understand what Lin Jue was talking about. Ma Qingshan, Shen Tan and a few others were thoughtful and seemed to be inspired.
Lin Jue continued: "This kind of character of this kind of person is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it makes them have deeper thinking than ordinary people, and they will have insight into the truth of many things, and they will not be confused by superficial phenomena. Sometimes, however, this paranoia leads them into a dead end. You may not understand what I mean, but I'll tell you a story. ”
Lin Jue slowly got up, paced with his hands in his hands, and said softly: "It is said that there was a Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, you should have heard of it." This Prime Minister Cao can be described as a man of great talent, but his personality is suspicious and thoughtful. In the Battle of Chibi, he was defeated by the Sun-Liu coalition army and had to flee in a hurry. Somewhere, there is an avenue and a trail to choose from. At that time, the avenue was wide and flat, and there was nothing unusual, but there was wolf smoke in the distance on the path, which seemed to be an ambush. What would a normal person do in such a situation? Of course, the fast horse escaped from the avenue. However, Cao Cao was a suspicious person, and he thought that it must be the other party's trick. There is wolf smoke on the path, and he must want him to choose the avenue, so there must be ambushes on the avenue. So he chose the trail to escape. And Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Shu State, had long understood his suspicious and conceited character, and knew that he would definitely choose the trail to escape, so he set up an ambush on the trail. If it weren't for the generals who led the army to be soft-hearted by Cao Cao's former kindness and let Cao Cao go, Cao Cao would have died there that day. This is the story of Huarong Dao. ”
The generals still didn't understand what Lin Jue meant at this time, and Lin Jue took Cao Cao's Huarong Dao as an example, in fact, he was using the things in front of him as an analogy. Lin Dashuai's letter seems to be full of flaws, and it seems that the other party will not believe it at all and will not fall for it. But if Wanyan Aguda is a suspicious person like that Cao Cao, thinking that he is smart, so he is conceited, arrogant, and suspicious, then he will choose to believe the content of Lin Jue's letter like Cao Cao chose the wolf smoke path. This is called calculating what is calculated, and what is false is real.
"Although it is a bit inappropriate to compare Cao Cao and Wanyan Agu, these two do have similarities in personality. The reason why Wanyan Aguda can stand out is because he has more brains and can think better than other Jurchens. He is also more scheming and urban, and knows how to think about the truth behind things. As I said, this is a double-edged sword, and in this matter at hand, I will use his personality to give him a reversal plan. He will definitely be fooled, and his character, once he is determined, no one can convince him, because he thinks that he has crushed me intellectually and defeated me Lin someone, this is the best opportunity to prove that he is better than me, and can make him snow the resentment in his heart, because he was very uncomfortable by our blows. His subordinates may have doubted his abilities, and this is an opportunity for him to vent his self-proof. If he did, he wouldn't change his mind. Lin Jue paced slowly and said firmly.
The generals didn't know what to say, they hadn't been sure until now, and the Yan Agu Conference would not be as Lin Jue said, but would fall for this flawed plan. But they have already glimpsed a process of intrigue and wit. A strategy is not a simple process, it requires an understanding of human nature, a grasp of the enemy's psychology and character, and a strategy designed according to his character, so that the opponent enters the trap, but thinks that he has avoided the trap. The subtlety of this is indescribable. The taste can only be tasted by oneself.
Everyone looked at Lin Jue with strange eyes. Some of them thought: Actually, Lord Lin should also be the same kind of person as Wanyan Aguda. Only people who are similar will have similar thoughts and can also gain insight into the weaknesses in each other's personalities. In other words, Lin Dashuai is more intelligent than Wanyan Aguda, he can calmly perceive the weaknesses in his personality and use them through reflection. And Wanyan Agu is afraid that he will not be able to do this.
"The handsome man is very thoughtful, Qingshan is convinced. I believe that Wanyan Agu will definitely be tricked. Although I don't know what kind of person Wanyan Aguda is, I believe in the wisdom of the handsome, and I firmly believe that this plan will be successful. Ma Qingshan said loudly.
Liang Qi and the others also shouted: "We are the same, we believe in the wisdom and strategy of the marshal, then Wanyan Agu will definitely succeed." ”
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, thinking, if it doesn't work, why should I go through so much trouble? For people like Wanyan Aguda, he likes to be competitive and conceited, and this strategy is tailor-made for him. If this is not successful, then you will have to doubt your IQ and suspect that you have drilled the horns.
"But, Lin Dashuai, brothers, I have to pour cold water. Even if this plan is successful, Wanyan Aguda believes the words in the letter, what good will it do us? He may send troops and horses to attack Niu Mountain, but how much will that help us break through? Even if they had sent 58,000 troops and horses away, and the enemy besieging us would have twice as many troops, we might not have been able to break through. And this has put Funiu Mountain and Luoyan Valley into danger. If we fail to break through and Funiu Mountain is captured again, won't it be self-defeating and ruin the whole situation? Haven't you thought about that? ”
