In the camp of the Liao army generals, Xiao Xiaomu looked at his subordinates, smiled, and then said: "Generals, now we have come to Chang'an in the Great Song Dynasty, not to be precise, it is my city in the Great Liao, because the emperor said that the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains will soon be in the bag of our Khitan, but now we have just traveled from Dingzhou to this place for the geographical environment here has just just been understood, although we have also understood it before, but through my observation, the planting is definitely not as simple as I thought, This person can be placed in this place by Zhao Guangyi, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, it can be seen how powerful he is, and now it is not so easy for our Da Liao to take this place, this time we did not provoke him, and I am afraid that it will be very difficult for our Da Liao to do the next thing, but it doesn't matter I originally wanted to completely anger him, but he is not angry and deserves to be an excellent opponent! ”

Ma Huiwen also smiled and said to him: "What the general said makes sense, but Chang'an City is not easy to take, one is Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not so easy for our Daliao to take Chang'an City, Chang'an City is now strong, plus our Daliao soldiers and horses come from afar, no better than the Song soldiers to wait for work, if the enemy takes the initiative to respond to the battle, it is easy to say, but our army's current strength is not suitable for direct attack at all, there is an old saying in the Song Dynasty that rash attack is a taboo for soldiers, subordinates think that once we attack the Song people, they will inevitably rely on defensive offensive, If we do not engage with our army in short-range combat and consume our army's food and grass, we will still suffer at that time. Now I think that what you have to do is to be more patient, general, our morale has not recovered now, and it is certainly us who suffer from the long-term attack, so please think twice, General, otherwise you will make a mistake. ”

Xiao Xiaomu also smiled and said to him: "What Mr. Ma said is reasonable, this time Mr. Ma can point out my mistakes in person, and I will definitely celebrate the emperor at that time, I believe that with the emperor's wisdom and decisiveness, he will definitely be rewarded at that time." Although the current situation is beyond the control of our Great Liao, the Song Dynasty is most afraid of rumors. In the Central Plains, there is an old saying that rumors stop at the wise, and a thousand worries must be lost. Now that the rumors have passed? Although the generals of the Song Dynasty did not mess up this time, but they were already chaotic inside, now for us is not to take the initiative to make noise, nor to take the initiative to say that they are not the Song people, but to deliberately create turmoil is to disturb the Song army, since their Chang'an garrison is as stable as Mount Tai, then we might as well add fire, as long as the city is in chaos, people's hearts will be chaotic, although they see through my intentions this time, so what? I, Xiao Xiaomu, acted on the orders of the emperor, and I will not think about the aftermath when I do things, but I will consider seizing the day, this time I will plan first, they are not very good at self-cultivation, then I will make them more wishy-washy, it depends on which of us can really laugh to the end? ”

Xiao Xiaomu's words also made this person understand a truth, the role of rumors, rumors can not only deliver news, but also he can kill people, kill people invisibly, kill people anywhere, speaking of the horror of rumors, I have to mention that Hu Yanzan was framed by Yelu Long to death at the beginning. Speaking of this power, there is no one who does not understand it better than him Xiao Xiaomu, because he himself witnessed this terrible situation with his own eyes! Yelulong continued to let the eyeliner spread rumors that Hu Yanzan betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, although there were a few people in the middle, but the result was almost the same. The current situation in the city is panicked, and everyone is afraid that the Liao Kingdom will invade the city, but at this time they do not know that the situation is different at this time. The marshal of his own family did not take the initiative to attack with the Liao army, and then he could send people to the city to spread the news, although the rumors did not play a big role, but the common people of the Song Dynasty believed in rumors the most, in their opinion, rumors were better than everything, and the meaning of rumors brought them marriage was also different. Even if they don't take the initiative to go out of the city to challenge at this time, so what? As long as the rumors are made bigger, they themselves believe that the Liao army will inevitably respond in this situation, and it will not be the Song army that will win at that time, but their Liao army.

In fact, the vast majority of the understanding of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and others is not obtained by reading history books, but basically relying on the indoctrination of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Speaking of Tang", "Sincerity Bo Liu Gongxing", "The Biography of Heroes" and various folk legends or dramas.

Alexander, who was at the same time as the Warring States Period, repeatedly used tactics such as night raids and retreat ambushes in his conquest operations, and his general Ptolemy often commanded the ambush alone. During the invasion of the Indian kingdom of Polavars, the army of Polavas spread along the river and deployed many elephants, which would surely be ravaged by the elephants on the river banks if Alexander's army crossed the river head-on and attacked them. As a result, Alexander commanded the various troops to maneuver in different directions during the day, creating a posture to cross the river, so that the Polavars could not figure out where Alexander would actually cross the river. At night, the soldiers were made to run and make loud noises, as if they were crossing a river, and the Poravas, tired from the day, had to brace themselves again to deal with the "attack" of nothingness.

On the other hand, Alexander managed to spread the word that he was going to confront Polavars on the other side of the river for a long time, and he also brought a lot of supplies to pile up on the river. Thus the Polavars were tossed for several days, exhausted, and then heard the news that Alexander was going to have a long confrontation and would not cross the river quickly, and were no longer indifferent to the actions of Alexander's army. And Alexander had already found a suitable place to cross the river. So the large army took advantage of the rainy night to quietly come to the crossing point, and the next day, Alexander gave an order, and a large number of ships all sailed upstream, pulling Alexander's army, which had been waiting there, to cross the river.

Although the sentinels of the Polavars discovered the situation, they had already been numb by Alexander's toss, and at the same time they were afraid that Alexander was attacking the east and west, so they did not dare to move decisively to intercept in the face of such a big action, and only sent a small force to investigate, as a result, Alexander's army had already crossed the Indus River, easily routed the small army, and caught up with the main force of the Polavarian army. In the decisive battle between the two sides, Alexander used a roundabout strategy, allowing a cavalry to go around the opponent's flank and cooperate with him to launch a flanking attack, and the troops remaining on the opposite bank also took the opportunity to cross the river head-on, and finally defeated the Pollavas (Alexander's Expedition).

Even in the Middle Ages, it was not uncommon for them to have a variety of schemes. Actions such as the secret crossing of Chencang were repeatedly used by the Persians. For example, on the one hand, it announced that it would attack the Scythians and Huns who harassed Persia, but on the other hand, it actually cut down trees and crossed the dense forest to raid the city of Petra, where the Byzantine army was located, and won. In 531, Kobad sent 15,000 cavalry north across the Euphrates River, through uninhabited wilderness, and suddenly entered Byzantium from Comagna, shocking the entire eastern Byzantium.

Although Chang'an City now has a strength of 60,000 troops, but they dare not fight with the Khitan, it is not so easy to fight, especially the two armies, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the troops are too scattered, this is also because the Song Dynasty is too heavy on literature and light on military force, they all concentrate all their forces in Kaifeng, resulting in the current soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no lack of exercise, the country is weakened to have the Liao army now long-distance straight in, such as into no one's land, which is also the Song Dynasty's own shortcomings. In fact, these things can't be blamed on the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but the power of the generals is too large and easy to affect the imperial power, and it is not wrong to use the civil ministers to suppress the military generals themselves, but the civil ministers have too much power, and it is easy to affect the national policy of the imperial court, but the troops are scattered, and the soldiers who defend the city are not much better, because they have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, as for the next situation, where can you say it will be better, what will happen next, a real good show can never change, and the good show is ahead!
