Chapter 506: How to Expedition North

Wen Anzhi sighed softly.

He also heard about the combat methods of the old Western Army and the Shun Army.

These reckless monks do not have the scruples of the regular army.

If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

He even took the initiative to sell the flaws to lure the enemy into taking the bait.

In their eyes, there is no baggage and scruples, everything is aimed at winning.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this on the battlefield, Wen Anzhi still wants to listen to Li Dingguo's lecture on experience.

"Go on."

"Yes, Futai."

Li Dingguo paused, trying to calm his mood.

"Now that the Tartars are weak, we have no reason to sell them. So taking the initiative is the only option. But the blow had to be crisp and beautiful, breaking the Tartars' bones and breaking their confidence. Even if you can't defeat the enemy in one blow, you have to destroy them. ”

Li Dingguo's words were categorical and domineering, causing the generals present to nod their heads.

"How do you arrange your troops?"

Wen Anzhi asked.

"Futai can first use a hot air ball to burn the granary of the Tartar and cut off its grain. Then send the main force to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, trapping the dead Tartars. ”

Li Dingguo had been prepared for a long time and blurted out.

"It's a good idea."

Wen Anzhi bowed slightly.

Siege has been a clever plan since ancient times.

As long as the absolute strength can steadily withstand the opponent's siege and send reinforcements, there will be no problem.

The strength of this refers not only to the troops, but also to the grain and grass.

If the defenders have enough food and grass, they won't panic, and it's a big deal to consume it.

You won't let me out, and I won't let you in.

But if the defenders of the city are short of food and grass, trouble will come.

Their mood will become more and more irritable and more and more anxious. Anger erupts instantaneously after food shortages.

They will instinctively search for anything they can eat, first the rats will eat the rats and then they will eat the man.

Although cannibalism is a shameful thing to talk about, in the face of life and death, the vast majority of people will choose to die and not die.

In the beginning, women and children were eaten first, because women and children were the weakest. After that, he began to eat the old man.

When the old man eats up, he starts to eat Zhuangding...

Just thinking about this process is terrifying.

When the Tartars besieged the Daling River, the soldiers in the city did just that. At the time of the final surrender, there was little living in the city except for the soldiers.

Although this method is very radical, it may cause many innocent people to be eaten by the Tartars. But Wen Anzhi knew very well that this was the best way to go.

"But it's not easy to cross the vast mountains."

Wen Anzhi didn't expect to rely on hot air balloons to send all the soldiers to Hanzhong City.

This thing can only be used occasionally to engage in surprise attacks, and if you use it too much, the effect will be greatly reduced.

"There will be a plan in the end."

Li Dingguo clasped his fists with both hands.

"Tell me about it."

"The Tartars will definitely set up heavy troops in various dangerous mountain passes, so we can send people to pretend to be merchants who are secretly communicating with them."

Hearing this, Wen Anzhi's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"You mean, send someone to take the initiative to contact Donglu about selling grain?"

Wen Anzhi asked.

"Futai is wise. The line between Tartar and the grain merchants in the direction of Chengdu is broken, and other possibilities will definitely be sought. If we bury a dark pile at this time, the effect will definitely be good. ”

Li Dingguo paused and then continued: "Maybe they were just interested at first. But when the Hot Air Team burns down the Tartar granary, they will be in a hurry. ”

This time, everyone was impressed by Li Dingguo.

It turns out that this is not just a clever plan, but also a serial plan.

The plan itself echoes the previous burning of the granary, allowing the Tartars to step into the abyss step by step.

Perhaps the Tartars didn't know when they were in the mire that they had killed themselves.

"It's a good idea, but pick the right person."

Li Dingguo groaned: "There are a few candidates in the heart of the last general, I don't know if I can enter the eyes of Lord Futai. ”

"Let's hear it."

Wen Anzhi said unhurriedly.

"This merchant's name is Qi Cheng, and he often does grain business between Sichuan and Yunnan, and he has a lot of resources in his hands."

Li Dingguo's tone was very flat. But Wen Anzhi thinks this is certainly unusual.

As the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo stayed in Sichuan as a ruler for a considerable part of the time.

Although Li Dingguo is not as good as Sun Kewang in terms of domestic affairs, it does not mean that he has no achievements.

Especially when it comes to the transfer of military grain, he must have dealt with grain merchants to some extent.

Wen Anzhi guessed that this Qi Cheng was the grain merchant who cooperated with Li Dingguo at the beginning.

However, Wen Anzhi did not mean to get to the bottom of it.

Li Dingguo has surrendered, and some things should not be pushed too hard. Otherwise, it is easy to cause Li Dingguo's discomfort, and the effect is counterproductive.

"Is this man reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, the last general is willing to use the head of the item as a guarantee."

Li Dingguo said with an oath.

Wen Anzhi pushed his hand: "There is no need to make a military order." Benfu believes in you, and this matter will be left to you. ”

Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been thinking about how to gain Wen Anzhi's trust since he surrendered, and now he finally found a chance.

"The last general obeys!"

"There is another thing that Ben Fu has to say in advance."

Wen Anzhi glanced at everyone and said: "This Northern Expedition is not allowed to kill good people and take risks, if you find it, you will not be pardoned!" ”

Wen Anzhi also knew the joy of the old army.

In their eyes, the killing of good people and the merit of merit are perfectly normal.

But this is absolutely unacceptable to Wen Anzhi.

In his view, the difference between humans and animals is that humans have a bottom line, while animals do not.

And if as officials and soldiers, they kill innocents indiscriminately, and kill good and meritorious deeds for the sake of the first rank, what difference is there from livestock?

Wen Anzhi didn't want to pursue the previous matter anymore.

But he must set a tone now, and from now on, those who dare to kill good and meritorious deeds must be severely punished.

Otherwise, where is his prestige, where is the image of the Ming official army, and where is the military discipline?

"The last general obeys!"

Everyone clenched their fists and received their lives.

It doesn't matter what they really think in their hearts, but they must not hesitate to accept orders on such occasions. Otherwise, it will be a challenge to the prestige of Wen'an.

In general, Wen Anzhi is still a civil official who can convince them. He was very different from other civilian officials, and he understood everything about marching and fighting. There will be no situation where a layman directs an insider.

Many of Wen Anzhi's decisions are also very insightful, which makes people sincerely admire him.

In addition, Wen Anzhi also treats all generals and soldiers equally, and will not discriminate because of their identity and background.

In this case, as long as their vital interests are not touched, the generals will not go against Wen Anzhi's will.

They firmly believe that as long as they follow Wen Anzhi and work hard, they will definitely be able to do some work.
