Zhang Wei's two-sided approach was obviously praised by Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Yunshen.

Praise is a good thing, but there are still real problems to solve. It's as if the leader is very appreciative of your recent work, but this definitely does not mean that people will definitely promote you, and there is still a long way to go from approval to promotion.

The road is tortuous, the journey is long, and there are still ups and downs in the process.

Zhang Zhifang said: "Zhang Gongzi's suggestion is good, but at the moment, our mobile forces in Liaodong are insufficient, even if we attack from both sides, we may not be the opponent of the Shanxi army with this less than 10,000 troops." ”

Whether it is a two-sided attack or a three-sided attack, in the end, it will be supported by military victories, not to mention anything else, and the current ** troops in Liaodong may not be Shanxi's opponent. If victory is not achieved from the east, the enemy will certainly not flee to the west.

If Shanxi doesn't flee westward, then what does it matter if Youzhou's ** set up an ambush in Qilaotu Mountain?

With a distance of nearly 1,000 miles, the flanking attack has no effect.

After listening to Zhang Zhifang's words, Zhang Wei knew that although his ideas were very beautiful, they all needed to be backed by strong military strength.

Zhang Wei is also a monkey-like character, after the edification of Wen Tingyun, Ling Huxuan, Yun Wang Li Yi and others, he is already quite sophisticated in speaking and doing things.

After listening to Zhang Zhifang's words, Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Lord Deputy Envoy, I know very well the situation of insufficient troops, in addition to the five thousand elite soldiers you brought, the mobile troops that Liaodong can take out are less than five thousand. Combined, the two are less than 10,000 people. At present, the total number of soldiers and horses of the five departments of Shanxi has already exceeded 10,000 people, and they are still cavalry. Using less than 10,000 infantry against tens of thousands of cavalry, the victory or defeat was immediately superior. ”

Then Zhang Wei's voice changed: "But if we use the soldiers properly, 10,000 soldiers and horses are enough." ”

Good tone.

It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk, and brag and don't flash your waist!

Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Yunshen are both people who have fought for many years, and they know very well that the difference in strength is a key link in determining the outcome of a war. Not to mention the gap between cavalry and infantry?

"Tell me what you think." Zhang Yunshen said in a puzzled tone.

In his opinion, although this new Jiedu envoy has a lot of ideas, he is still a little unstable in some things, and military affairs are definitely not a joke.

Young people take their time, there is still a long way to go.

My old Zhang has been in the army all his life, his hair is gray, his courage is small, and he easily does not dare to say big things in front of military affairs. You are a newcomer who dares to say big things in front of our two battle-hardened veterans, I want to see how many pounds and taels you have, whether you are talking big or really capable?

"Two adults, I have some understanding of Shanxi along the way, especially after listening to the conversation between the two adults, I learned that this Shanxi people are not monolithic, they are actually divided into five parts. The two adults should know that in this world, as long as there is a difference, there will be contradictions. As long as there are contradictions between them, we can take advantage of the contradictions between the enemies to divide and disintegrate them, until they are eliminated. ”

Then Zhang Wei stretched out his right hand and said: "Two adults, the five parts of Shanxi are like the five fingers on this hand, which seem to be one, but in fact they are divided into five fingers, and there are long and short. We will take advantage of the contradictions between them, cut off one finger at a time, and in the end we will completely destroy the enemy. ”

Zhang Wei bent his fingers one by one and said to Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Yunshen.

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhang Zhifang suddenly said clearly: "Yes, what you said is very right, this Shanxi is indeed not monolithic between the five departments, and the contradictions between the five departments are also very big, we can use the contradictions between them to disintegrate them." ”

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the five parts of Shanxi together, but after they are decomposed, there are not many soldiers and horses in each department, and there are only three or two thousand soldiers and horses in each department.

** With 10,000 infantry, there is still a complete chance of victory against the two or three thousand cavalry of any part of Shanxi.

The way of using soldiers lies in the ever-changing and unexpected.

The advantageous can lure it, the chaotic can seize it, the solid can guard it, the strong can avoid it, the strong can harass it, the contemptuous can pamper it, the hidden can tire it, and the close can divide it. Attack it where it is defenseless, and attack when it is not looking.

Although Zhang Wei may not know these truths said by the soldier saint Sun Wu, but he is smart, has no teacher, and can use soldiers!

Who said that knowledge must be knowledge in books, and the knowledge obtained in practice is the best knowledge.

"Well---, I thought it would work." Then Zhang Zhifang turned his head to Zhang Yunshen and said: "Old general, you have been staying in Liaodong, and you are most familiar with the situation in Shanxi, you can talk about the relationship between the five departments of Shanxi and the contradictions between them, and we will discuss how to divide and disintegrate them." ”

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible in a hundred battles is absolutely well-founded, not just for fun.

If you want to divide and disintegrate the enemy, you should first understand the situation of the enemy, what is the relationship between the five departments, who married whose daughter, who called whom the second uncle, and so on.

On the basis of figuring out the relationship between the five departments, and then we must also figure out the relationship between them and Datang, the estrangement that should be estranged, the estrangement that should be closer, the one that is neither estranged nor closer, and if you see the opportunity, you will fight to the death.

"Deputy envoy, Zhang Gongzi, to say that the relationship between the five departments of Shanxi is really complicated, before Shanxi and Khitan separated, they operated alone, and each department had a Jin in charge; The two also knew that this Liaodong was a place inhabited by ethnic minorities, and Shanxi was originally not a large tribe, and after being divided into five tribes, the strength between the tribes was even smaller, and it was not an opponent of the Khitan and other tribes at all. After being beaten again and again, the five departments finally realized that if they fought alone with the strength of one alone, they would be eliminated by others sooner or later. After many battles and many defeats, the five tribes gradually formed a tribal alliance. Among these five tribes, the Ahui clan is the chief of the alliance, and all five tribes are subject to its control. ”

Obviously, Zhang Yunshen has not been in vain in Liaodong over the years, and after dealing with him again and again, he has a fairly accurate understanding of the relationship between various departments in Liaodong.

As for the location of the five departments, from west to east, they are the Ahui Department, the Division and the Department, the Ao Loss Department, the Du Ji Department, and the Yuan Qi Folding Department. Among them, the Ahui Department and the Division and the Department are in the area of Qilaotu Mountain, and the three departments such as Ao Shi are in the area of Nurur Hushan, of course, the strength of Shanxi has increased greatly in recent years, and they have extended their tentacles to the western Liaoning corridor and the south bank of the Daling River and the area of Yiwulu Mountain, which is actually very close to our Liaodong camp. ”

After listening to Zhang Yunshen's introduction, Zhang Wei had a deeper understanding of the five tribes of Shanxi, the strength of the five tribes of Shanxi, the most powerful, and the leader tribe of these five tribes.

And their distribution is distributed from west to east, the closest to Liaodong is the Yuan Qi Zhebu, and this Shanxi tribe called the Yuan Qian Zhebu is not large.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Wei said to Zhang Yunshen: "Old general, when I heard you say this, I can understand that the five departments of the mountain and Xi don't live together!" ”

"Yes, they don't really live together. You also know that Shanxi is a nomadic people, and they have no fixed residence, and it is common for them to live closer today and farther away tomorrow. I just don't know if the places where the five of them live this year are close or far apart. Zhang Yunshen said.

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Yunshen to say, Zhang Wei also knows the living situation of nomads. The phenomenon of sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes more and sometimes less, is often present. However, this didn't affect anything at all, because he had already figured out how to deal with the five parts of Shanxi.

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Yunshen and asked: "Old general, although the five departments of Shanxi have no fixed residence, the relative position between them is fixed, that is, the Ahui department lives in the westernmost part, the Yuan Qi Zhe department lives in the easternmost part, and the other three departments live in the middle of these two departments in turn, which can be determined?" ”

"Yes, Zhang Gongzi is right, their positions are relatively determined, arranged in order from west to east, and they have hardly changed for hundreds of years."

"That's good." In Zhang Wei's view, the location where the five departments of Shanxi live is sometimes far away and sometimes close, but the relative orientation is fixed, and it is nothing more than closer or farther.

This is very important, as long as you don't live together, I have a way to open up for you.

"Is there a valley river between Mount Qilaotu and Mount Nurul Hu?" Zhang Wei asked suddenly.

？？？

What a suddenness of the question!

I was talking about the matter of the five parts of Shanxi just now, how could I suddenly change the topic and ask about this matter? Brother, what's your problem?

Zhang Yunshen looked at Zhang Wei unexpectedly, and then looked at Zhang Zhifang, thinking that there would be no problem with this child, why did this topic change so quickly?

"Zhang Gongzi, aren't we talking about the matter of Shanxi Wubu? You suddenly asked Qilaotu Mountain and Nurul Tiger Mountain, why is this? Zhang Yunshen didn't just ask.

Zhang Wei knew that the old general must have been stunned by his sudden questioning. The jumping is so big that people can't turn around!

So he smiled and said to Zhang Yunshen and Zhang Zhifang: "Although the five tribes of Shanxi are scattered, they are mainly concentrated between Qilaotu Mountain and Nurur Tiger Mountain. Once the five tribes of Shanxi are divided into two sections, when our army attacks the Yuan Qi Zhebu from Liaodong, will the rest of the tribes still have the ability to send troops to help and help? ”

Good way, good way!

This is a big move, and it is a big move to attack it unexpectedly, as long as this move is successful, the five generals of Shan Xi can't take care of each other, even if they want to help, it's difficult!

Awesome, brother, you're awesome.

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Yunshen both opened their eyes as if they had suddenly woken up from a dream.
