Chapter 696: The Enemy Army Will Definitely Pursue
After winning consecutive battles, ordinary people will have confidence swelling, not to mention that there are such subordinate generals who can't stop complimenting there, Duan Ping is inevitably a little fluttering.
At this time, Tang Ze said again: "In today's battle, our army won a great victory, and the general should continue to pursue the rebels, maybe he can defeat them in one fell swoop." ”
"Huh?" Duan Ping waved his hand and said, "The art of war is cloudy, the poor don't chase it, it's just a bunch of rebels who fled in a hurry, there is no need for that." ”
He is a person who reads all the military books that he reads, which is also a major reason why he can't become a famous general, but after Tang Ze listened to his words, he nodded again and again: "That's right, the general is reasonable." ”
At this time, Duan Ping said again: "But then again, it is not far from the defeat of the rebels, didn't our army learn that there was a problem with the supply of grain and grass for the rebels after investigation, and when the time comes, they will be short of food and grass, and they will be defeated without a fight." ”
"Yes, yes, the rebels seem to be menacing, but in fact they are all a group of rabble, how can they match the general, when the time comes, after defeating the rebels, the general will be meritorious, and he will inevitably be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister......" A cadre of generals echoed and said.
"Haha-" Duan Ping smiled when he heard this, and said, "When the time comes, it will be indispensable to rank up......"
Duan Ping despised Wen Cheng, there was no doubt about it, but even so, he never took the initiative to attack.
On his side, he still responded on the defensive, and on the side of Prince Chu, at Qin Mu's suggestion, within a few days, he launched another offensive, but this time, it was still the same as last time, and he was defeated again.
However, after a few more days, Wen Cheng began to attack again, and then he was defeated!
At this time, Prince Chu's side was already panicked, and the morale of the whole army was low, while Duan Ping's side was a big celebration banquet, laughter and laughter.
Defeated three times in a row, even if Qin Mu asked Wen Cheng to fight again at this time, Prince Chu probably wouldn't agree!
And at this time, the generals under Prince Chu also began to question Qin Mu, because since he came, he didn't offer any strategy, didn't do anything, just sat and watched his own defeat, and looked happy, which is unbearable for anyone.
On this day, people gathered in the big tent and began to complain about Qin Mu to the Prince of Chu, and someone said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although Qin Mu has some fame, but after he entered the Wind Country, he has not commanded a decent battle, this person is probably a wine bag and rice bag." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else immediately answered: "I think so, think about it, if he really has the ability, I'm afraid he would have commanded our army to defeat the enemy army a long time ago, but after he came, whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him or us for advice, he kept silent and deliberately prevaricated perfunctory, I'm afraid he just has no ability, so he didn't dare to speak, right?" ”
When people heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and Wen Cheng also said with some hesitation: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you think it was because King Feng was unwilling to help that he deliberately sent General Qin Mu to prevaricate?" ”
Hearing this, Prince Chu also frowned, but soon, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No, the previous letter, I didn't pass it directly to the Wind King, but to my aunt, ask my aunt for help, my aunt must know that the matter is very important, if Qin Mu is really a wine bag and rice bag, even if my aunt can't stop the Wind King, she will definitely pass the book to me." ”
When he said this, after everyone heard it, they were silent, because Princess Shaoyang was the aunt of Prince Chu, and the blood relationship was there! How could it hurt him!
After a pause, Prince Chu said with a straight face: "Forget it! Don't talk about that anymore! ”
He chose to believe Qin Mu, and a few days later, the latter also began to propose to him to gather the generals and soldiers.
The big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered soon, and after everyone arrived, the prince of Chu also looked at Qin Mu, and said with a smile: "General Qin, today's discussion of troops, but there is a strategy to break the enemy?" ”
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "Before that, I had the courage to ask His Highness for the command of the whole army, but I don't know if His Highness is willing to do so." ”
"This ......"
I thought he was going to offer some good idea, but I didn't expect it to be this, Prince Chu first glanced at the others, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay! ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Qin Mu gave a salute.
Then, he looked at Wen Cheng and asked, "General Wen Cheng, your army should make a fire to make food, it should be ten people and one stove, right?" ”
I don't understand why he suddenly asked this, Wen Cheng was stunned at first, and then nodded: "That's right, it's ten people in one stove." ”
Qin Mu nodded, and then said, "Okay, I also ask General Wencheng to remove the pot stoves used by 100,000 people for deserters." ”
"For deserters?" Wen Cheng's brows furrowed, although his morale is low now, there are no deserters.
Qin Mu didn't explain, but walked to the sand table, took out the sword at his waist, and pointed to one of the places with the blade of the sword: "This place, about thirty miles away from your military camp, is a natural valley, with dense forests on both sides, it is the best place to ambush soldiers, and 100,000 people should be ambushed on both sides of the valley......"
As he spoke, he added: "Now that your army has lost several battles in a row and is about to run out of food, the enemy must have already known this kind of military information, so it is normal to retreat now. ”
"What does General Qin mean......" General Youbian couldn't help but ask.
"Your army can withdraw from the camp and retreat to the rear, leaving the pot in the camp." Qin Mu said.
"I understand that General Qin means to use the number of pots and stoves to confuse the enemy army, so that the enemy army mistakenly thinks that there are a large number of deserters in our army." Wen Cheng interjected.
"That's right."
"But if the enemy army still sticks to the defensive line and does not come to visit the camp, then what General Qin has done is not in vain?" Wen Cheng asked again.
Qin Mu smiled and said: "Your army is short of food and grass, and it will run out of food soon, if there is no movement for a long time, after a long time, the enemy army will inevitably be suspicious, and then it will definitely send people to visit the camp." ”
"General Qin is so sure?"
"Of course, your army has been defeated in a row, and you have run out of food, and you have not seen an attack, and if you put it on any general, he will think that you have retreated without a fight." Qin Mu said with an oath.
As he spoke, he followed up and said, "At the same time, your army also needs to leave hundreds of straw men in the empty camp, wearing armor, so that the enemy army will mistakenly think that we are afraid that they will know that we have retreated. ”
"What General Qin means is to make the enemy mistakenly think that we are no longer able to fight, and there are deserters, but when the time comes, what if the enemy army does not pursue?" Wen Cheng asked again.
Qin Mu said confidently: "General Wencheng doesn't have to worry, the enemy army will definitely pursue!" ”
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
