Subsequently, Zhao Junsheng ordered the leading generals of the various troops and horses to wake up the soldiers under his command to prepare for an ambush after an hour, and according to the marching speed of Kurenzhi's army inferred by Nayan, this Rouran army should arrive here in two hours.

"Everyone, there should be two more hours, go back and sleep again, if you find any trace of Rouran, I will send someone to wake you up!"

When the war came, those generals were fine, they were all veterans who had been in the army for several years, and some of them often clashed with the Southern Dynasty or the Rouran people at the border passes, and they were no longer so afraid of fighting.

But these ministers with the army are not good, although they are in high positions, they are pampered on weekdays, although the court is dangerous, it is not as frightening as facing death immediately, so the ministers can hardly sleep.

Under the hills, the officers and men of the cadre army lay on the ground one by one and fell asleep, sleeping in a strange position, snoring one after another, one after another, so lively, and the war horses were eating weeds nearby.

Zhao Junsheng sat on a matza eating batter, and the ministers who couldn't sleep all came over with batter brewed in boiling water and sat around him on the ground.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the expressions of these ministers, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why can't you sleep?" Afraid of nervousness? ”

The ministers were embarrassed on their faces, and Li Song sneered: "Your Majesty and the soldiers of the army have experienced countless battles of life and death, so naturally they will not be afraid, and the ministers and others are all powerless people, and it is inevitable that they will ······."

Zhao Junsheng glanced at the ministers, and said with a smile: "When the big war comes, fear and fear are inevitable, this is human nature, I am also afraid, and I am also afraid!" Don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, you can ask the generals and other soldiers, and if you find someone to ask, he will definitely say that he is also afraid of death! ”

Lu Xuan turned his head to look at it, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers are all asleep one by one, how can they sleep if they are nervous and afraid?" There were also a few soldiers gathered around, they were talking and laughing one by one, and they didn't look afraid or scared at all, just like no one! ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "You don't know about this, this is because they have learned to self-regulate their psychological state!" No matter how many times they have fought viciously, no matter how many times they have experienced life and death, such people will still be afraid of death, and they are different from ordinary people in that they have learned the ability to self-regulate their emotions and psychological states through these experiences, and those who do not have this ability are already dead in battle. Even if they don't, they will force themselves to learn to face it calmly, because they know that if they don't have the courage to face it, they will only die faster on the battlefield! ”

"In the face of death, as long as people with normal thinking and intelligence will be afraid, even if they are fools and madmen, they will instinctively avoid danger! You are afraid to go into battle, partly because you think you have not been trained, and partly because your courage is not enough to suppress fear! Look at the soldiers, their courage suppressed fear, so they were fierce and fearless in the face of the enemy! ”

"But courage is not static, it can be affected by many factors, and a few encouraging words from the commander may enhance the courage of the soldiers! Some soldiers do not have the psychological quality to pass, and if the war is slightly unfavorable, they will lose the courage to face the enemy, and once a soldier loses the courage to face the enemy, he will be finished! ”

"Therefore, although there are only a few possibilities for the outcome of the war, there are too many factors that affect the outcome of the war!"

Ministers and generals benefited greatly from Zhao Junsheng's words.

Li Song couldn't help but sigh: "I think that the Han Dynasty general Li Ling is also a generation of famous generals, good background, talented, and by the Han Wu Emperor, although he encountered the Huns single in the main force, and fought and retreated, at the beginning of the loss was not big, but also a large number of killed and wounded the Hun cavalry, in the end the arrows were exhausted, the weapons were lost a lot, the soldiers took short swords and car spokes to fight, but he did not fight and died, but was captured and surrendered, which made the minister puzzled!" ”

Xu Yan said: "I think Li Ling's idea at that time may have been to surrender by fraud, but later because the news was not communicated or there was a mistake in the transmission, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty misunderstood that Li Ling really surrendered to the Huns, so he killed Li Ling's whole family and razed the three tribes, so the fraud surrender became a real surrender!" At that time, the whole army was in a desperate situation, and there were no reinforcements, and they had done their best, Li Ling did not surrender with all the soldiers, but took the lead in breaking through the siege and luring away the Hun cavalry, so that his soldiers could scatter and escape, he did what a general should do! ”

Lu Xuan objected: "I don't agree with your statement, even if Li Ling was thinking about deception at the beginning, I think this kind of thinking is a sign of cowardice and fear of death!" When a general is defeated, he has the consciousness that he will die on the battlefield, and no matter what the reason, it is shameful to surrender! ”

Zhao Junsheng had to stop them from arguing, "Okay, there is no point in arguing about this issue now, you are not Li Ling, let alone a minister of the Han Dynasty, and I am not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" After you have eaten, rest for a while, even if you can't sleep, you have to close your eyes and recuperate, and then we will not only have to fight once, but we will not just stop here and not leave, maybe we will have to ride horses for a few days and nights, if we can't sleep, our bodies will not be able to bear it! ”

As the supreme ruler, of course, any emperor hopes that the ministers can swear allegiance to him, and all dynasties have given high praise to the generals who died on the battlefield, especially admiring their integrity of preferring to die in battle rather than surrender, but for the generals who surrendered, no matter how great the merits of this person have been in the past, once he surrendered to the enemy, he will be pointed at, spurned and reviled by thousands of people.

Zhao Junsheng, as an emperor, from the standpoint of his identity, of course he can't say that Li Ling did nothing wrong, if he said that Li Ling's approach at that time was right, then this is a disguised encouragement for the generals to surrender at a critical moment, and the generals will have an excuse to surrender in the future.

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he ate the batter in the bowl after a few strokes, and after eating, he handed the bowl to the guard, and walked to a cowhide spread on the ground next to him and lay down to sleep, and soon snored.

The ministers looked at each other one by one, admiring, they couldn't learn this kind of kung fu of sleeping in seconds anyway.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhao Junsheng was woken up, he opened his eyes and saw that it was that face!

He immediately rolled over and got up: "Kuren is coming with his 10,000 horses? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! It's only half an hour away at most! We want to set up an ambush in the reed swing, but we are afraid that it will not be easy to complete the implementation, because Kuren has sent a lot of sentry scouts to explore the way, and it is impossible for those sentry scouts not to go into the reed swing to investigate! ”

"Like us, Rouran's sentinels will report safety to the main general every certain time, if they don't go back to report safety within the specified time, General Rouran will know that there is an enemy army or an ambush ahead, and they will definitely not continue to advance!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "At this time, I have my own plans, your task is to keep an eye on Ku Renzhi's every move, don't be discovered by the Rouran people, once they find out that our scout sentry has appeared in this area, with Ku Renzhi's vigilance, I will definitely be suspicious, I'm afraid that I won't continue to move forward!" By the way, how far are their sentinels from the main army in general? ”

Na Yan replied: "If it is a normal march, the distance between the sentinel cavalry and the main army is generally about ten miles, but they are now speeding up, and the distance between the sentinel cavalry and the main army has increased by half, that is, fifteen miles!" ”

"Got it!" Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and instructed Na Yan: "Later, I will send 10,000 cavalry to ambush in the reeds, and the remaining 10,000 cavalry will be led by me to hide under this hilly belt, and you will arrange some scouts with strong combat power and superb archery skills to ambush around, once the Rouran sentry finds our cavalry hidden in the reeds, they will definitely escape from the reeds to report the news, and then your people will go out to intercept and kill them!" ”

Na Yan was surprised: "If you kill all the sentry spies of Rouran, wouldn't it be revealing that Ku Renzhi didn't wait for the report of the sentry within the agreed time?" ”

Zhao Junsheng knew that Na Yan used to be the guard of the prince of Beiliang, Fuqu Anzhou, and he was strong in martial arts, but he actually had no experience in the army at the grassroots level, and he didn't know much about the work of detectives and detectives.

In the case of a large army marching in a hurry, if the outposts are only conducting immediate reconnaissance more than ten miles ahead, they do not have enough time to reconnoiter the surrounding environment too carefully, because they have to keep a certain distance from the main army, and can find the enemy troops in front of them in time, so they can only take a quick look at the surrounding environment when they are exploring the road in front, and if they delay for too long, the main forces behind will catch up, and their outposts will lose their role in reconnaissance in the front.

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the endless reeds and asked, "How long do you think it will take for the sentry of the Rouran people to find our ambush soldiers hiding in the reeds?" ”

Na Yan turned his head to look at it and replied: "It depends on where our army is hiding, if it is hidden on the edge of the reeds, it will soon be discovered; If they hide in the depths, it may take them not a lot, maybe a moment, or two ······"

Before Yan finished speaking, he understood what Zhao Junsheng meant, Rouran Sentinel didn't have enough time to reconnoiter this piece of reeds, and when they found the Qianjun cavalry hiding in the reeds, Ku Renzhi's brigade had already arrived, and even if they found the hiding place of the Qianjun cavalry, it would be useless.

Wouldn't it be easy to put it that way, to engage in an ambush battle?

Of course not, ambush warfare generally occurs in the general of the army is not familiar with the terrain on the way to the march, if you are familiar with the terrain, the commander of the army will send scouts to reconnoiter the terrain in advance to ensure the safety of the march, but also will send a team of sentry horses in front of the army for instant reconnaissance and exploration, this is a double insurance!

However, if you are not familiar with the terrain of the marching route on the way, do not know which locations have dangerous terrain, and do not conduct detailed reconnaissance in advance, once there is an enemy ambush, the possibility of being ambushed will be greatly increased!

"The minister understands, the minister will arrange it!"

After Na Yan left, Zhao Junsheng immediately sent people to inform the leading generals, so that they could quickly wake up the soldiers and prepare to arrange an ambush and battle.
