Chapter 21: What the Hero Sees
The court discussed and failed to come to a result, so after Shi Le withdrew from the court, he summoned Zhang Bin to the palace to ask for the right thing.
Zhang Mengsun first said: "The strategy of military warfare should not be sought by the public, and I am afraid that the Jin people will have a gap between the government and the opposition, and they will know the news in advance, which will make it unfavorable for me to advance." β
Shi Le nodded, and said that what you said is reasonable-"That's why I ordered the group to discuss, but I didn't make a plan, and I had to discuss with Taifu alone." Taifu still intends to attack Yanzhou in a false way, but is he really tired of it? β
Zhang Bin smiled slightly and said: "No, please ask Your Majesty to adopt the strategy of Zhang Ling (Zhang Jing is the Zhongshu Order), hypocritically disgusted, and actually plot against Yanzhou." β
Shi Le smiled: "I know that Taifu will say so. But then he frowned and asked you to refute Zhang Jing's words in the court, I sound very reasonable, how to solve it?
Zhang Bin asked Shi Le to unfold the map, put it on the table, and then said: "The two countries are contending, sending tens of thousands of troops at every turn, congesting the roads, arranging formations in the plains, surrounding the cities, and confronting the mountains and rivers. Therefore, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the case, even if Chen, Zhang Zhizhi, Sun and Wu Zhizhi want to point out their mistakes, what is the difficulty? It is the old minister who can only say a few words, even if Zhang Ling is silent.
"And Zhang Lingji regards Jin Kou as a mustard, thinking that he must be able to adjust it, how can things be as he wants? Your Majesty fought with Zu Shizhi in Hanoi before, and in the ability of his people, he has some knowledge, let me ask Zu Mou, is it easy to be subject to me?
"The military struggle should be based on the principles of the mountains and rivers, anticipate the strength and weakness, and plan its strategy, and then it can adapt to the situation and control people without being controlled by others. Now I confront the Jin people across the river, when I first seek to cross the river, both deep into the thief realm, then the enemy does not dare to not, grain and materials, can also be a little because of the enemy, take the initiative in me. If you want to exhaust the enemy first, and then look for an opportunity to cross the river, then if the Jin people feint and retreat, and attack while I am halfway crossing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. β
Then he pointed to the map and explained to Shi Le in detail: "The situation of Henan today, as the minister said, Su Jun is the old general of Pei Wenyue, between Qing and Xu, in fact, it is owned by Pei.
"Su Jun is arrogant and arrogant, and he is not on good terms with Xi Jian, and Yandong is guarded, and he does not get along with him. If there is something in Yanzhou, Su Jun will not dare or save because Cao Wei is in the middle; If Qingzhou is soldiered, the Yandong guards will report to Luoyang, waiting for the decision of Zu Shizhi, and the movement will be slow and ......"
He pointed to the knife and slashed between Qing and Yan, saying, "In this case, this is the place where I can cross the river and attack the enemy!" Your Majesty, please see, last year, Su Jun attacked Cao Wei, defeated between Yingling and Pingshou, and immediately advanced Guanggu, and could not retreat. The two are in harmony with Weishui.
"Although, Beihai and Juxian, in fact, the two genera, Cao Wei's army did not dare to cross the giant ocean, but Qi and Jinan were still under their control. Then I don't have to cross south at Leling, but take the plain.
"Make an army first, and then attack and get tired of it, so as to see Su Jun's movements. If Su Jun goes to prison Cao Wei and does not save Shao Xu, he can take the opportunity to capture it; However, Cao Wei is already like a frightened bird, I am afraid that he will not dare to go out of Guanggu for half a step, and Su Jun is also very light, most likely he will go north to save Shao Xu. Waiting for it to move, even if I cross the river from Gaotang, I will go straight to Licheng! β
Licheng County, that is, Jinan City in the future, in the west of Qingzhou, belongs to Jinan County, and is currently in the hands of Cao Wei, so Cao Wei has returned to Zhao, and it should not be difficult for him to dedicate Licheng.
"Licheng is in the southeast of the river, and our army has entered Licheng, so the east can help Cao Wei, and the west can directly take Jibei, which is divided into Qing and Yan. Its place is based on the water in the north, leans on Mount Tai in the south, the east and west are long and narrow, and only the brave win the military fight. Luoyang, or not yet to come to the rescue, then Jishang counties - Jibei, Dongping, Rencheng, Taishan - will join forces to resist me, but their courage is uneven, temporary gathering, if the Taiwei generals, easy to break.
"If the ancestor is in a hurry to help, I can stand with him for a long time between Licheng and Wushan, deep ditches and high bases. From Xiangguo to Licheng, although there is a big river in the middle, Hebei is plain, the transportation is convenient, but only six or seven hundred miles; And from Licheng to Luoyang, there are many mountains and mausoleums at the end of the end, the military is inconvenient, and the distance is doubled, it is advantageous for me to hold for a long time. If the Jin people carry grain from the river, then I can send troops to the north bank and harass and plunder them from time to time.
Later, when he saw the situation, he could slowly increase his troops in Hanoi and plot to break Li Ju. If Li Ju is broken, Hanoi will be exhausted, and Luoyang will only be separated by a water from me. If the Jin master retreats, I can take the opportunity to collect the relief from the counties; If the Jin division does not retreat, he can plot to attack Luoyang......"
Shi Le twisted his beard and muttered: "Luoyang may not be easy to take, Pei Wenyue will definitely send the army in the pass to help defend it......"
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "This is the principle of nature, not only Pei Wenyue, but also his Quartet soldiers and horses will also surrender to Luoyang - the Jin people lost Luoyang before, and the society has been repeated, how dare they lose it again?" However, in this case, the garrison of all sides will be thin, and our army will have a lot of room for maneuver. β
Shi Le nodded: "What Taifu said won my heart. But how to defeat the Jin army of Jishang, and how to increase the army in Hanoi, in an attempt to destroy Li Ju? And I'm afraid that the ancestors will take the lead and cross the river to me. Careful planning is still needed......"
The two of them talked about it late, and Cheng Yao was waiting outside the palace, so anxious that he went back and forth. He originally had a secret plan to sacrifice to Shi Le, hoping to suppress Zhang Bin again, but I heard that Zhang Taifu had been summoned to the palace in advance, and he had an endless conversation with Emperor Shi...... The eunuch went in to inquire several times, and he replied, Cheng Gong, please wait......
Finally, I saw a eunuch with a lamp and guide Zhang Bin out. Cheng Yao didn't want to see Zhang Bin, so he hid his side in the shadows. Zhang Bin glanced at his eyes, and then said to the eunuch in a loud voice: "The attendant will give me the lamp, and I will go out of the palace - but there is light and candlelight, and there is no way to hide, even if I am hidden in the dark." β
Cheng Ziyuan held back and didn't move, and waited until Zhang Bin walked away before he asked the eunuch to report and enter the palace to meet Shi Le. Shile asked him what he meant by this. Cheng Yao arched his hand and said: "For today's military strategy, the minister also agrees with Zhang Ling's policy, when the pseudo-attack is disgusted, and the real is to Yanbei." β
Then he explained: "For Yanbei there is Mount Tai across the river, there are Ji, Wen, Si Zhushui injection, Juye Daze in its southwest, the terrain is complex and changeable, if I make the elite wade and attack, quite a chance to win." Its Jishang counties, Dongping Xu Gongsu and Thorn Shi Cai Bao are not harmonious; Jibei Huan Xuan, scholar; Taishan goat, almost no ability to control......
"Especially Zhou Mo, the prime minister of the city, was originally a strong and powerful country, and his ancestors took the lead in investing after entering Yuzhou, so he got a heavy responsibility. However, his fellow clansman named Zhou Jian, in the past, in the township, his momentum was not inferior to Zhou Mo, but he was late, but Zhou Mo was a subordinate official, and he was often uneven. The minister had previously secretly sent people to lure Zhou Jian, and allowed his big county to be guarded, and if Biyun crossed into Yan in the south, he would kill Zhou Mo accordingly......"
ββββββββββ
When the monarchs and ministers of Xiangguo discussed the southern invasion, in the palace of the general of the Luoyang Hussars, the same generals gathered to plan a strategy for advancing north.
Including Zu Yue, Zu Lian, Zu Ji, Zu Zhi, Zu Yan, Xu Liu, Wei Gai, Zhang Ping, Fan Ya, Feng Long, Wei Ce, Han Qian, Feng Tie, etc., dozens of generals and officials above the fifth rank gathered together.
When everyone entered the hall, Zu Ti had not yet appeared, and he saw that above the main hall, several wide couches were put together to form a square of eight feet, and the soil on it was piled up into a mountain, and the paint was a river, which actually caused a huge sand table that had never been seen before!
ββThe word "sand table" is still "invented" by Sima Pei, and everyone understands its meaning: it is obviously soil, why do you want to use sand as the name? Some people speculated that when Da Sima was in Xu Fang, he was on the verge of the sea and rubbed the sand to take shape, but he thought so, so he simply named it later.
In fact, the sand table itself cannot be regarded as Pei Cai's invention, it can only be regarded as his "improvement", there is this thing in the army, but most of them are made temporarily, and they are quite shoddy. Since Pei Gai recruited craftsmen and made relatively sophisticated sand tables, it has gradually become popular in the ancestral army, but no one has invested heavily in making such a large one before.
Zu Yue and the others immediately approached and looked carefully. He pointed to a green paint that stretched almost the entire sand table from his nephew Zuzhi and asked, "This should be a big river, right?" Zuyo said with a smile: "This is nature." Then he stretched out his hand along the green lacquer, stroked it in a void, and then pointed to a white wooden block next to the lacquer, and said, "This is Luoyang." β
There are many small wooden blocks on the sand table, most of them are painted white, and there are also other colors such as black or blue, and the size of the wooden blocks is different, but this side is the largest.
Zu Jian had seen this sand table beforehand, so he smiled and said: "There are words on it, why should my uncle guess." β
Zu Yue took a closer look, and saw two small characters written with a black pen on the white wooden block - "Luoyang", and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "It's too simple, why not insert a flag, it can be more explicit?" β
Suddenly, I heard a phlegm cough behind the screen, and the generals hurriedly stood in silence. Immediately saw the ancestor with a crown and a broad belt, and came out with his hand, and the ancestor bowed slightly: "What Shi Shao said is, I will order someone to make a flag." Then he looked around at the generals and said, "I borrowed a skillful craftsman from Da Sima and spent half a year to make it." Qing and the others may see, which region is it? β
His wife's brother Xu Liu arched his hand and said: "Luoyang is in the west, and Guanggu is in the east, north to Boling, south to Qiaoxian, this Yan, Henan, Hebei and Sidong land." β
Zu Ti nodded, put his hands in front of him from behind his back, held an iron Ruyi in his right hand, drew a circle above the sand table, and said, "I will win with the slaves, that is, in the meantime!" β
Scholars in the Wei and Jin dynasties were often accustomed to holding something in their hands, pointing and gesturing, to assist their rhetoric, and to accentuate their tone - for example, Wang Yan liked to carry a jade handle all day long, and it is said that his hand was almost the same color as the jade handle......
Zu Shizhi didn't have this habit originally, but later saw Pei Gai holding a three-foot bamboo fight, pointing and pointing, looking very dignified and graceful, so he imitated it. However, he didn't have a jade ruyi, or a jade tail, and always felt that that thing was too fragile and not suitable for use in the army, and Pei Gai's bamboo cane was a little shabby...... In the end, it was cast with iron, more than two feet long, not only can it be scratched, but it can also be used to beat people in times of emergency, and I think this is the foil to my own identity.
Pei Gai came to Luoyang not long ago to discuss the future military deployment with Zu Ti, and when he saw this thing, he also saw Zu Shizhi wielding iron Ruyi, and he couldn't help but feel a faint chill down his spine...... He said in his heart, brother, I will simply make an iron shovel and send it to you, beat the unconscious king at the top, beat the slanderers at the bottom, and beat the thirty-six anti-kings and the seventy-two roads of smoke and dust, how about it?
Don't say it, Zu Ti himself is not tall, and his appearance is not outstanding, when Pei Cai first saw him, he felt that this man enjoyed the name of eternity, but he looked like an old farmer...... But when Zu Shizhi waved the iron Ruyi, it seemed that his demeanor had increased sharply, and he actually had the appearance of swallowing the sea.
At that moment, Zu Ti waved Tie Ruyi, saying that the area displayed by this sand table was the place where I and Shi Le won the decisive battle, and then sneered, and said: "The day before yesterday, I discussed with Taiwei, Situ, and Xun Ling, etc., and they actually took the defensive position between Yunsi and Yan, and slowly accumulated, so as to wait for Da Sima to first decide and merge the state, and then part ways to break - what a cowardice!" β
Zu Yue interjected: "I'm afraid it's not cowardice, but I don't believe in us, and I want Da Sima to make new contributions." But I don't want Da Sima to be a great minister, and in the battle of the river bridge, the court has almost nothing to reward, so if you make meritorious service again......"
Zu Ti raised Tie Ruyi and pointed at Zu Yue, which meant: "You shut up first!" Then he pouted and said: "Da Sima attacked the crowd with a small number at the river bridge and broke Liu Cang's 200,000 troops; And when I took Hanoi, its soldiers were not necessarily less than the thieves, but I had to divide the border with Shile and rule in two. In the eyes of those who don't know soldiers, I am naturally inferior to Da Sima, and the Chinese army is not as good as the soldiers in Guanzhong......"
Speaking of this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said sharply: "Therefore, I will go out to fight with the slaves and destroy this dynasty, so that the society can be complete!" β
All the generals bowed their hands and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the general!" β
Zu Ti paused, then slowly relaxed his facial muscles, smiled slightly, and asked everyone: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles, then in the opinion of Qing and others, what will the slave do?" Is it to attack me first, or to take a defensive position. If they attack, what way will they take? β
Most of them believed that Shile was enemy on three sides, and only the east was the sea, so they would definitely take an offensive - at least attack instead of defense. No one is optimistic about the state side, thinking that most of the flanking attacks on the Zhongbing and Tuoba Xianbei, Taiyuan and Shangdang can only hold on and wait for help; However, some people think that Shi Le will advance north, attack Duanbu and Liu Kun and Cui Bi, and relieve his worries first; Some people also believe that Shi Le will attack the second and defeat Shao Xu first......
Zu Yue shook his head and said, "I thought that the slaves would attack the division and Yan. Duan Piyan, Shao Sizu, etc., Yu Slave is just a scourge of ringworm, and he ordered a general to lead his troops to suppress him, looking for an opportunity to attack Keye, and if he wants to break the current situation, the Karma slave will go straight to me.
"If I am a slave, I will come to invade the place of my heart, Luoyang!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a little false on the largest white square, "Then he will either increase his troops in Hanoi to break Li Shihui, or he will wade from Jijun to seek Xingyang." β
Zu Ti nodded: "What Shi Shao said is not unreasonable, but ......" Tie Ruyi swiped out of thin air on the side of the sand table, "I thought that the slave might first wade between the plains and Ande, and go straight to Licheng!" β
