On November 21, Weiyang Jun Yinghua led 30,000 Qin troops to Fenghao in the wind and snow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to the wind and snow on the way, the 30,000 Weiyang army Qin soldiers became more difficult, the only thing to be thankful for is that the Fenghe River flowing to Weishui has frozen, so that the 30,000 Weiyang army does not have to stop to build a bridge, and can directly walk on the thick ice on the surface of the Fengshui River to the opposite side.

I'm really thinking too much......

After stepping on the ice to the other side of the Feng River, Weiyang Jun Yinghua looked at the white snowfield in front of her, and secretly laughed at herself in her heart.

I remember that at first, he was still worried about whether he would be ambushed by the Wei army on the way to Feng Hao, but if you think about it carefully, the Wei army was full of food and supported to ambush them in this kind of ice and snow? People have four county city walls to defend, I believe that at this time, most of the Wei soldiers under the command of Wei Gongzi Run are hiding in the towering city walls to warm up, how can they have the leisure to brave the cold to ambush them?

Just as Zuo Shu Changwei Ying judged, the Wei army was now clearly adopting a defensive strategy of waiting for work, forcing him to take the initiative to send troops to attack the city occupied by the Wei army in the weather near the cold winter wax moon.

"Stump, Tread, Tread—"

A group of cavalry appeared in the distance, coming in the direction where Weiyang Jun Yinghua was.

Among the ranks of these cavalrymen, there was a cavalryman holding a banner with the words Qin and Weiyang in his hand, and he was undoubtedly the cavalry under the command of Weiyang Jun Yinghua.

"Report!"

With a shout, the cavalry rode their horses and galloped in front of Weiyang Jun Yinghua, all turned over and dismounted, and the cavalry team led by them clenched their fists and said: "Lord Yinghua, several woods in about twenty miles west of Feng Ho have been cut down or burned, and there are two woods seven miles away, which are the only two remaining forests in this area. ”

Hearing this, Weiyang Jun Yinghua's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

In fact, he had already predicted: Feng Hao's Wei army might have guessed that Xianyang would send troops to attack, so the woods in the suburbs of Feng Hao were either burned or cut down.

However, Feng Hao's Wei army was still about 20 miles away from Feng Hao, leaving two forests for the Qin army, which was really a bit unexpected by Weiyang Jun Yinghua.

But after thinking about it carefully, Weiyang Jun Yinghua understood, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: What a cunning Wei Gongzirun!

The reason is very simple, because whenever you lead an army to a certain place, it is inevitable that you will first set up camp - unless you are absolutely sure that you will defeat the enemy army, otherwise, setting up camp honestly will allow you to leave a way out in the event of an unfavorable initial battle; Otherwise, there is a high probability that the army will be defeated.

Therefore, after Weiyang Jun Yinghua led his army to the area of Feng Ho, the first step must be to build a military camp, after all, his enemy is the famous Wei Gongzi Run, and he will not be conceited enough to recover Feng Ho in one day.

However, if the Wei army cut down and destroyed the nearby forests in advance, so that Weiyang Jun Yinghua could not build a military camp, he could only find as many trees as possible to build a number of ladders, and then storm Fenghao City.

If you win, you will live, and if you lose, you will freeze to death in the wilderness, in this case, the 30,000 Weiyang army will definitely show the fighting spirit of fighting against the water.

With this will, the 30,000 Weiyang monarchs will not care whether they can recover Feng Ho or not, but at least they will pose a threat to the Wei army.

Therefore, Wei Gongzirun was very cunning and left two forests for the Qin army to build a military camp, giving the Qin army a "way out", and even more, he also delineated the scope of the Qin army's construction of a military camp through the location of these two forests - unless the Qin soldiers were willing to drag a piece of wood to their favorite place to build a camp in this ice and snow world.

In all fairness, this made Weiyang Jun Yinghua feel very bad, as if he was being led by the enemy's nose.

And through this incident, he also had to admit that Wei Gongzirun was worthy of being a famous general in the world, and he was very good at accumulating small advantages through calculations again and again, until he finally turned these advantages into victories.

…… Is it actually a positive type? Shouldn't it be tricky?

Frowning, Weiyang Jun Yinghua muttered secretly in her heart.

The righteousness and trickery that he muttered in his heart are the two ways of using troops contained in the art of war: the so-called righteousness can be understood as the dignified and upright way to completely expose the hole cards in his hand to the enemy, and do not play any conspiracy and tricks, purely by gradually establishing superiority to win the victory, so that the enemy can lose helplessly; And the so-called trickery is to set up tricks, surprise soldiers, and win by surprise.

And through the two forests deliberately left by the Wei army, Weiyang Jun Yinghua felt that Wei Gongzirun was a commander who was good at using troops in the right way, but this person also made an amazing move of running 700 miles in ten days a while ago, which made him a little puzzled.

In the end, Weiyang Jun Yinghua assessed Wei Gongzirun as a famous general who used troops in the right way and supplemented by cunning, that is, the most difficult enemy.

After thinking about it, Weiyang Jun Yinghua asked the deputy general to lead the army to build a military camp near the two forests, while he himself led three hundred horsemen to Feng Ho - he was idle anyway, and he was going to Feng Ho to inspect and see if there were any loopholes that could be exploited.

At the same time, as Weiyang Jun Yinghua guessed, Wei Gongzirun, or Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was lying on his side on a bed in the city guard mansion in Fenghao City, flipping through the seized Qin books.

In front of him, the finch was fiddling with a bronze stove, stuffing pieces of charcoal into the stove to make the stove burn brighter.

At the table not far away, Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, several generals of the Shang Shui Army, as well as Wei Jiao and other sect guards, were discussing fiercely around a map.

"Childe, did you just watch a few generals arguing there?"

Seeing Zhao Hongrun leisurely flipping through the books, ignoring the discussion of the generals not far away, Que'er asked in a low voice.

Zhao Hongrun didn't look up, and said casually: "Quarrel and quarrel, maybe you will come up with some good plan." ”

It turned out that Feng Hao's city defense, he had given full authority to generals such as Wu Ji and Nanmen Chi, and also let Wei Jiao and several other Zongwei participate in it - after all, Zongwei had been suspended in the Shangshui Army a few years ago, and almost all of them were mixed with the positions of 2,000 generals with their military merits.

Today's Zhao Hongrun has gradually faded out of the tactical arrangement, and is only responsible for considering the strategic phalanx, to put it mildly, if he has to go out in person in everything, then what do these generals like Wu Ji and Nanmen Chi do? At best, this is also a good opportunity to sharpen the generals.

Because of this operation, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, served as Zhao Hongrun's deputy general, so that Zhao Hongrun finally realized how lucky it was to have a deputy general who was enough to block one side.

You must know that it is precisely because Sima An led thousands of Dangshan cavalry and Qiangjiao cavalry to attack the territory of Qin, braving the cold and snow to drive away the Qin people and destroy the farmland facilities of Qin, that he, Zhao Hongrun, can sit in Fenghao safely, roasting charcoals, isn't it?

Therefore, it is not advisable to do things personally, as a superior, we must know how to train subordinates and let subordinates share rights and responsibilities, which is the best way to achieve long-term peace and stability.

"Report!"

An announcement sounded outside the study, which stopped the discussion of the generals in the room.

Immediately, a group of green crows walked into the house, and after looking around, Zhao Hongrun, who was lying on the couch on his side, hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness King Su, twenty miles west of the city, I found traces of the Qin army, and it was visually seen that it came from the direction of Xianyang, under the banner of Weiyang. This Qin army numbered about 30,000 people, and about 10% were cavalry. ”

"Weiyang ......"

Zhao Hongrun had a map of the Qin State in his mind, and said as if talking to himself: "Weiyang is located in the northwest border of the Qin State, and it was so quick to rush to support, it seems that when our army left Xianyang that day, the King of Qin unsurprisingly transferred troops from all over the country...... Calculate the schedule, well, the foot of this Qin army is very fast, it's not simple, it's not simple......"

With that, he glanced at the green crows and asked, "Is there any movement over there in Meiyang?" ”

The green crow crows clenched their fists and said: "According to the news sent back by General Sima An, Meiyang Kaesong took in some refugees and sent troops to pursue the general, but they did not catch up. ”

Chasing Sima An? The Meiyang City Guard also thought a little too much......

Zhao Hongrun smiled dumbly.

You must know that the harassment troops under Sima An's command are a mixed combination of cavalry and horse-drawn sleigh infantry, unless the Qin State sends several times or more than ten times the number of troops to surround it on a large scale, otherwise, it is impossible to block Sima An with one or two armies, even if it is cavalry; Even, it is possible to be swallowed by Sima An.

Meiyang was able to send troops to pursue Sima An, and it seems that Xianyang did not transfer troops from Meiyang...... Yes, Meiyang, as a big county, is too close to our army, and Xianyang is also guarding against our army's sneak attack on Meiyang, so you don't have to worry too much about Meiyang's side, in contrast, it is Weinan's side......

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun instructed the green crows: "You can send someone to Xia Tai and tell Zhai Huang that the grandson of the Marquis of Wuxin, who was left behind by us, should almost approach Weinan." …… Since Xianyang used troops against my Feng Hao, then Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi should also try to attack Xia Tai, telling Zhai Huang to be careful. By the way, tell Zhai Huang that there is no need to send troops to ambush Gongsun Qi, just sit down and wait for work. ”

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun guessed that Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, might have led a large army to retreat to the Qin mainland, but he had no intention of ambushing the other party.

First, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi is cautious, especially since he has already suffered an ambush and is unlikely to be hit; Second, Zhao Hongrun is not sure when Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi will attack Xiaqi, so there is no reason for the Wei army in Xia Tai to be stupidly ambushed in the ice and snow, waiting for Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi to lead the army to arrive. ps: Book review: Some book friends said why not ambush Gongsun Qi's army, the reason is very simple, in the winter, blowing cold wind in the wilderness to ambush the enemy army, you may have to lie on the snow, so that after a while, the whole body will be cold, what energy do you have to ambush the enemy army? It's an act of sending people to death, and it doesn't make sense.

The crows were ordered to leave, and after a while, another crow walked into the study and said, "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the city!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's face sank, and under the surprised gaze of Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi and other generals, he turned over and got off the couch, and took the letter from the hand of the green crow with an almost snatching action, and opened it for a look.

After just two glances, his complexion sank.

Seeing this, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun put his hands behind his back, and after being silent for a while, he sighed and said, "Fenyin...... was captured by Han General Lecheng. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the generals in the house changed suddenly.
