Chapter 483: Discussing the Art of War, It's Hard to Distinguish Between Truth and Falsehood (I)

The Xiongnu sent people to send letters in two places, and Wang Mang did not know such important matters. At this moment, Wang Mang was only thinking about Yuezhi in his heart.

He is convinced that no matter how vicious the person is, there will definitely be a place of emotional sustenance in his heart. This place of emotional sustenance is the root of good thoughts.

In the vernacular, that is, no matter how ruthless those vicious people are, there is a little bit of kindness in his heart that will not be extinguished.

People are divided into good and evil, and when good thoughts occupy the majority, this person is a good person. If evil thoughts are the majority, the person is a bad person.

These two thoughts are like the avenue of yin and yang, only yin flourishes and yang declines, or yang flourishes and yin declines. There is never a reason for yang to extinguish yin, or yin to extinguish yang.

Yue Zhi is the most beloved daughter of Da Shan Yu, and the fiancΓ©e of the Xiongnu master and the first master of the Prison Niu. Wang Mang knew that as long as Yuezhi was used well, then it would be possible to truly resolve disputes peacefully with the Xiongnu without swords.

In the nearly half a year that the Xiongnu went south, the soldiers of the Han and the Xiongnu had died in the battle of hundreds of thousands, and Wang Mang really didn't want to fight anymore, didn't want to see the soldiers die on the battlefield, and didn't want to see the lives of the people.

Everyone in the world has parents, wives and children, and if one dies, where can relatives not be heartbroken?

Although the Xiongnu were foreign barbarians during the Han Dynasty, in Wang Mang's concept, the Xiongnu were still Chinese.

Since they are all Chinese, then in other words, this dispute is actually equivalent to their own people beating their own people and killing each other.

Wang Mang wanted to resolve this grievance, but there was no good breakthrough before, so he could only use brute force to suppress it.

But now that Yuezhi has appeared, Wang Mang thinks that this turning point has come.

He set off from Jinchang Pass, did not take a detour, but directly disguised himself, led three or five Murong masters, and came to the mighty pass where Da Dan Yu was in charge.

As soon as he entered this level, he focused on the big and small things in the pass, and explored the various arrangements of Da Shan Yu.

For Da Dan Yu to go all out to garrison the mighty pass, Wang Mang firmly believes that Da Dan Yu must have deep meaning in this move. If some clues can be detected, it is expected to subdue the Xiongnu.

He stayed in the pass for three or four days in a row, and there was no gain, and the people in the city became the slaves of the Hun soldiers like ordinary slaves who died in the country, and they did not know any confidential matters, and they did not even dare to talk to strangers at will, for fear of being whipped and punished by the Hun soldiers.

Several masters of the Murong family who followed Wang Mang were reluctant to stay too long in the territory controlled by the Xiongnu, for fear of accidents.

Now that they saw that Wang Mang had stayed for three or four days, and still had no intention of leaving, they couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Young Master Wang, I think we should leave here early and go to Baiyin Pass. If something happens to you here, wouldn't it be a great disaster? Murong Yi suggested.

"No hurry, no hurry. It's rare for us to come to the city controlled by the Huns, how can we leave so early? Wang Mang said with a smile: "This big order is also good for governing the people." Aside from the Han people in the city, let's take a look at the Xiongnu people who migrated from the city, they all live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't leave anything behind at night, and everyone is harmonious. If you don't have great wisdom, you can't do this. ”

"No matter how good the big order is, what does it have to do with us?"

Murong Yi said: "The Huns have a barbaric nature in their bones, and our Han and them are eternal enemies. Since the successive dynasties, it has always been the Huns who have brought a mortal threat to our Han Dynasty. Young Master Wang, now that the war is tight, you have not been in the army for a long time, and you have not communicated with the outside world. ”

Wang Mang said: "Sage Cloud, take his strengths and make up for his shortcomings, this is the foundation of the world." Da Dan Yu has great wisdom and is good at governing the country, this advantage of his is extremely useful to us, it is worth learning, why do you have nothing to do with us?

But there's one thing I'm curious about. Dadan Yu Ming has more than 300,000 troops stationed at this pass, and it seems that he wants to defend the pass forever and fight a long-term battle with us. Or that he is recuperating, accumulating terminal strength, and wants to fight with us. But if you look at the city, there is no wartime state at all, as if Dadan Yu does not intend to go to war with us, which is strange.

According to common sense, no matter whether Da Dan plans to stick to it or plan to break the net, he must be fully prepared for war to deal with sudden changes. But now, the situation is completely different from common sense. I don't know what kind of fame Da Shan Yu is doing, but it makes people have no clue. ”

"Maybe he did it on purpose." Murong Zhong said: "Da Dan Yu is superior in ability, there is no doubt about this, otherwise he would not be able to unify all the Xiongnu tribes and become Da Dan Yu." Although there is no preparation for war in the city at the moment, I guess he must be secretly preparing for everything.

The two armies are at war, and the sentries on both sides are indispensable. Da Shan Yu also expected that there must be many sentry agents of our army in the city to inquire about the news, so he set up a suspicious formation, confusing the sentry sentry, and trying to make our army unprepared. Then he saw the opportunity and took advantage of it in one fell swoop, so that he could take advantage of it. The book of war refers to this arrangement as a strategy to confuse the enemy. ”

"Brother Zhong, Young Master Wang is familiar with the art of war and is good at leading the army, can he still not know this? You are still talking about the art of war in front of Young Master Wang, but I think it's the class with an axe. Murong Ren rolled his eyes at Murong Zhong, "Young Master Wang, I think Da Dan's move is not simple, and it must have a deep meaning. I don't know what you think, young master? ”

"The way of the battle formation, true and false, false and true, no one has the ability to completely guess the minds of others. Perhaps Da Danyu's move was the same as Murong Zhong said, it was deliberate. Or maybe it's different from what he said, but it's a plan. ”

Wang Mang said: "As we all know, once the order is given to make full preparations for wartime, then this order will have some impact on the people, and the people's will will be unstable. Da Dan Yu is proficient in the hearts of the people, and he must know this, so he will plan and deliberately make such a gesture to confuse our army.

Under normal circumstances, when our army sees such an arrangement, the vast majority of them will think that this is a big order to set up a suspicious formation, and our army must not act rashly. But in fact, Da Shan Yu did not order the preparations for war at all, and used this trick to deceive us. In this way, our army still does not dare to act rashly, the people in the city can live and work in peace and contentment, the soldiers and generals can also be relaxed, and the pressure is sharply reduced.

Come to think of it, this move is either a big order in the secret deployment of troops and generals to make a full arrangement, or no arrangement at all. With these two possibilities, if you were the commander-in-chief, how would you plan your marching strategy for such a situation? I'm afraid that in the absence of absolute superiority, I don't dare to act rashly, right? ”

"Well, we don't dare to act rashly, for fear of being tricked." Murong Zhong said: "Young Master Wang, hearing you say this, maybe Da Shan Yu is really likely to be suspicious, deceive us with the method of scheming, and lead us down another road."

But why is Da Danyu sure that if we learn of such a situation, we will not send troops to attack? If we do send troops to attack, and he is not ready for war, then he will not suffer a great loss? After all, there are not a few generals who are short-tempered and arrogant and impulsive. ”
