Tang Weitian came in, "Governor, come out and take a look, there is a fool here, standing for a long time." ”

The "fool" is Tan Wusense, holding a long sword in his hand, with his back to the tent, looking at the soldiers coming and going, looking into the distance, where it is neither Luoyang nor a place to fight, just an undulating low mountain.

"It's been a while, and you won't let me report it." Tang Weitian whispered.

Xu Ji stepped forward, "Why does the second brother have time to come to me?" ”

Xu Ji had just appeased the generals of the Wu army, understood it with reason, moved it with affection, and ensured that the cavalry was only temporarily borrowed, and he would return to the headquarters immediately after the war, and he was still a soldier of the Wu army.

Tan Wuxian sighed softly: "The country is picturesque......"

"Is the second brother going to make a poem?" Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Come with me." Tan strode away without need, Xu Ji hesitated slightly, and followed in steps, Tang Weitian chased after more than a dozen paces, and several guards followed farther away.

Tan walked out of the camp and stepped through the snow to a nearby hill, Xu Ji followed, and the guards stayed below.

"Thank you for the recommendation." Tan Wufu still looked into the distance, as if there were enemy soldiers in ambush there.

"Others are in command of the cavalry, I don't feel at ease."

"So I came over to say thank you and say sorry."

"Excuse me?"

"There are three thousand knights in the Wu army, and there are probably not many of them that I can return."

"Second brother, what do you mean by this? The cavalry was only used to lure officers and soldiers out of the wall......"

Tan Wufu turned around and stared at Xu Ji, there was some excitement in his eyes, not apologies, "That's right, the cavalry wants to lead the officers and soldiers to the descending army, but I have a hunch that this battle will be an unprecedented tough battle, the righteous army will not be smooth sailing, there will be countless casualties, in case of victory, it will also be a tragic victory." ”

"I recommended my second brother as a rider, not for a miserable victory."

Tan laughed senselessly, "A miserable victory is the best ending, and the fourth brother is not enough?" ”

"I want to hear the second brother's 'hunch'."

"Soldiers, treacherous ways, speculating on the movements of the enemy army is actually speculating on the thoughts of the enemy commander, and the thoughts of the enemy commander are all in the habits of the past."

"Hmm."

"Lan Sui is incompetent, but also very happy, to wipe out the enemy army, so often divide the troops to take the encirclement and annihilation method, if the enemy army is weak and concentrated, it may be useful, and when encountering the descending army, it is just the right to restrain each other."

The army was large and scattered, and when a strong enemy encountered, it was usually necessary to send people to act as a "moving fence", and the leaders fought separately, breaking through in all directions, and maybe they would break through an exit somewhere, and the officers and soldiers could not be surrounded and annihilated, but were defeated.

Tan didn't need to explain much, Xu Ji already understood, "What the second brother said is right. ”

"Lan Sui is followed by Cao Shenxi, this is a veteran of a hundred battles, and the habits he has developed on the battlefield can't be changed no matter what. Cao Shenxi has no problem arranging troops, with the strength of officers and soldiers, if it can be strictly enforced, there will be no Zhulu rebels to attack the eastern capital. It's a pity that he has a weak heart, and he doesn't dare to compete with the powerful, Tao Strategy is ten percent sure in his heart, and he removes two percent when he exits, and then removes two percent when he discusses with the generals, and if the powerful interfere, he goes to two percent, and when he sends out soldiers, he loses two percent, and in the end there is only two percent of the chance of winning. ”

"The second brother seems to be with his own eyes." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Cao Shenxi's plan to break the south road first and then the north road was not wrong, but it was not implemented to the end, it must have been influenced by others, and he failed to divide enough troops, and as a result, the rebel army on the south road was not destroyed, but its morale was greatly boosted.

"And then there's Lingzun."

"The general's surname is Lou, and my surname is Xu." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Lou Wen laid half of the Tiancheng Dynasty, and his fame moved the world, and the defeat of Qinzhou was not enough to damage his reputation. But in my heart, Lou Wen's strategy is actually not as good as Cao Shenxi's, and with Cao Shenxi's rigor, even if there are few soldiers, he will not be defeated when he encounters an ambush. ”

"The general is strong in his will, even if the emperor personally sends a decree, he can't easily change his mind."

"Yes, Cao Shenxi's Tao strategy is ten percent, and it is good to have five achievements left when executing, and Lou Wen's Tao strategy is only seven or eight percent, but there is no reduction in execution, and he is invincible when he encounters a weak enemy."

"I'm afraid that the descendants of the five countries don't want to hear the judgment of the second brother." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"There is a reason why the Five Kingdoms perished." Tan said meaninglessly and seriously.

"What about the rebels? Is it strong or weak? ”

"Weak." Tan was pointless, not a little polite.

"However, the general can't do whatever he wants this time."

"That's all the odds for the rebels. After the convergence of the five kings, the righteous army has two large battalions and a number of small battalions, the small battalions are all wait-and-see, do not need to pay attention, the two large battalions are far away from the wall of the officers and soldiers, according to the usual way of playing Lou Wen, it is not practical to lure the cavalry, he will inevitably send troops to drive directly to the large camp of the descendant army in the distance, surprise, break it in one fell swoop, turn around and counterattack, and the camp of the five kings should collapse when they hear the wind. ”

"It's really like a general's way of playing."

"The fourth brother looks at the mountain in the distance, if the general is smart, he should send troops to occupy the mountain pass in advance, guard the flanks, and then rush straight to the camp of the world army from the other end, so that the army of the five kings will not be able to attack."

"But there are no officers and soldiers over there."

"That's right, so Lou Wen's Tao is two points worse than Cao Shenxi, he urgently needs a victory at the moment, not only to boost morale, but also to consolidate his position, so he will take the defensive position first, and after a day or two, he will come out of the nest, first break the cavalry of the King of Jin, and then go straight to the army of the descending world."

"In this way, it seems that our cavalry does not have to lure the officers and soldiers."

Tan smiled meaninglessly: "What I just said is Lou Wen's usual way of playing, but the fourth brother has a sentence to the point, Lou Wen is no longer the original general, and he has a lot of constraints, and he can no longer do what he wants as before." ”

Xu Ji understood, "The camp of the five kings is too close to the eastern capital, and the court is uneasy, so it will inevitably force the general to break through this camp first, and then attack the world army." ”

"So there must still be lures, and if you really fight, arouse Lou Wen's anger and make him dare to make a desperate bet."

Xu Ji was gloomy, if he really fought, the cavalry would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and Tan Wuxian apologized for this.

"Isn't there any other way to play?" Xu Ji asked.

"This is already the best way to fight, if Lou Wen is not provoked, or if the constraints of the imperial court are too strong, and no one obeys Lou Wen's orders, the rebel army will still be defeated."

"Hey, the general is constrained, and the rebels will be defeated, this is really ...... Unexpectedly, if the imperial court temporarily changed back to Lan Sui, would it be easier to win? ”

"Haha, that's not what I said, Lan Sui has been defeated in a row, the officers and soldiers have lost confidence in him, and they are unwilling to fight hard for it, it must be Lou Wen who leads the troops, and the court drags its feet, so that the officers and soldiers have a chance of winning."

Xu Ji walked back and forth on the hillock, glanced at the mountain in the distance, and then at the guards below, and said for a long time: "There is really no other way?" ”

"According to my estimates, the grain and grass of the righteous army can support at most a month, after the beginning of spring, people's minds will change, and they will inevitably collapse, and the court is willing to send troops, which is a good thing, if the wall does not come out, it is a big problem."

"The people of the Eastern Capital don't know the reality of the righteous army, and the Lan and Liang families are terrified, and they will inevitably force the troops."

"And the chances of victory for the rebel army all lie in whether they can lead the officers and soldiers to the descending army."

Xu Ji sighed, "Second brother, let's say, there's no need to go around in circles." ”

"I want to use the former identity of the fourth brother, the fourth brother doesn't have to come forward in person, just allow me to use this banner."

Xu Ji's former identity was the seventeenth son of the general, and playing his banner could anger Lou Wen even more.

"The second brother also came to talk to me, it's really polite." Xu Ji sneered.

"Between brothers, don't calculate behind your back."

Hearing this, Xu Ji felt a trace of shame in his heart, immediately erased it, and said, "Okay, second brother can use it casually, don't come to ask me again, and don't let me see it." ”

"The Wu army has 3,000 cavalry, and I don't guarantee that it will be returned safely."

"Life and death are in this battle, casualties are not counted. I know that the second brother is acting fairly and will not deliberately trap Wu Jun in danger, and that is enough. ”

Tan Wuwu's eyes widened slightly, "This cavalry is far from enough, of course I don't deliberately put anyone in danger." ”

Tan didn't want to do it, but others rushed to do it.

Xu Ji smiled, "Once the officers and soldiers engage the Descendant Army, the Five Kings Army will immediately attack from the rear......"

Tan shook his head slightly.

"Isn't that so?" Xu Ji was quite surprised, this was a plan jointly formulated by the five kings.

"My previous words are secondary, and the next thing is crucial, King Jin only knows that I came to invite the fourth brother from the past, and he doesn't know my real plan, as for the others, it is even more untrustworthy, in the whole army, only the fourth brother can be worthy of this great task."

Xu Ji became more and more surprised, "Second brother, please speak." ”

"After the officers and soldiers engaged in the battle with the descending army, the army of the five kings should not be flanked from the rear, and immediately detoured to attack Changwei and went straight to the eastern capital."

Xu Ji is often said to be bold, but at this time, he feels that Tan Wuwu is really bold, so big that he suspects that he has lost his eyes, maybe this person is a big and ineffective art of war, but in fact, he has no real ability.

After standing for a long time, Xu Ji said: "If the officers and soldiers leave enough troops to defend the long siege, what if the righteous army can't break through it for a while?" ”

"The rebels will be defeated, but I guess Lou Wen will stick to his own style of play no matter how much he is constrained, once he sends troops, he will be dispatched, and the defense will not be very strict. And his original plan should have been to attack the nearby Five Kings camp first, and there was no need to leave too many troops in the rear. ”

"Well, even if everything is as expected by the second brother, I can't mobilize the army of the five kings. The pincer attack is a common agreement of the five kings, and in the absence of King Jin, King Liang and others will not change their minds. If you look at my battalion, most of the soldiers of the Wu army have been lent out, although they have been exchanged for twice as many infantry, they are not my confidants, and they will not listen to my orders, let alone the subordinates of King Ning and King Shu? ”

"I only know that only by fighting like this can I have a chance of winning, as for how to persuade the rebels, it depends on the fourth brother's ability."

Xu Ji couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "It's not feasible, it's not feasible at all, I don't have the ability, no one." Is it inevitable to lose a flanking attack? ”

"Lou Wen is not comparable to Lan Sui and Cao Shenxi, if he is provoked, he will definitely become more and more courageous, and no one can beat him."

"He was defeated once in Qinzhou."

"It's completely different, Qinzhou was an accidental ambush, Lou Wen was completely unprepared, and the soldiers failed to deploy the formation in time during the march, and they collapsed again and again, so that they were out of control. In this battle, Lou Wen will personally lead his troops to attack, and the formation has been completed, even if he is led to the descending army, he must be prepared for a flanking attack. The number of people fought by the rebel army was nothing more than a large number, but it was less than ten times the number of officers and soldiers. ”

"One side was defeated, three sides were scattered, and the rebel army became Lan Sui instead."

"That's exactly what happened."

Xu Ji shook his head, "This matter can't be hidden from the kings, I and my second brother will go to see them......"

Tan senselessly interrupted: "By all means, the righteous army is chaotic, nothing can be kept secret, as soon as this plan comes out, the lure soldiers will not be at ease first, and the king of Jin will not agree." It must be that after King Jin and I lead away the officers and soldiers, the fourth brother will go to persuade King Liang and others. ”

"It's difficult, if the imperial court leaves some troops to guard the eastern capital, even if there are only 10,000 people, it will be difficult for the rebel army to break through, but it will make the second brother and the descendant army lose reinforcements, and even lose the chance of winning the pinch."

Tan pointlessly stretched out his hand to the sky, "The fourth brother often says that Tiancheng dies by himself, and this time is the verification." ”

Xu Ji still found it difficult.
