Chapter 717: Prevention Before It Happens

(This chapter congratulates General Zhao on his ascension to the Yuan!) )

There is the county name cloud in the southeast of Chang'an, there is Hongxi Village in the south of Yun County, this village is backed by the big mountain, the villagers mostly live by hunting, according to the hunter, this mountain name is called Qi Mountain, a valley in the mountain is extremely deep, occasionally someone comes out of it without saying the hardships of trekking, and said that it can pass through Hanzhong. Sixteen people of Tian'er entered the valley to explore, more than a month to arrive at Jinxiang, here is located in the southeast of Hanzhong City two hundred and thirty miles away, if turned to the north then ninety miles away is the Hanzhong granary Xing'an, here stationed in the Hanzhong army elite more than 10,000, the commander Yang Huai Yang Dezheng, is also the Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu brother, won its trust, here Tian'er said that the garrison combat strength, if our army has 8,000 soldiers suddenly attack when it can be broken, subordinates and so on to discuss January, figure out the essence of it, Yan Wang two ways to send troops The strategy is feasible.

The people of this valley Yunxian County become Qi Valley, and the people of Jinxiang are named Tayun, although the inside is steep, but if the ability of our army is refined, it can be traversed, but it is necessary to travel lightly, and the armies in the world want to pass from this must get half of the army's half of the negative grain, only I Youzhou has the advantage of a single wheel, and the car can pass through the people, and the five soldiers only need two thousand to transport grain! According to the reported military situation of the Hanzhong army, if according to the proposal of the king of Yan, the military strength of the frontal attack on Yangping Pass must not be less than 150,000, and it is necessary to cooperate with the opportunity to attack it day and night, and lead the enemy's energy to the Yangping line, taking advantage of this opportunity for our army to surprise more than 10,000 people in Xing'an Cang and then bluff directly at Hanzhong, so that the enemy army will be chaotic, and the frontal army can take advantage of the situation to go down to Yangping Pass......

Today, Liu Yi went to the study after Qiu Sizhai came out of the autumn moon night, and started a day's official business, although at this time the people of Youzhou did their duty, but he still had to take a holistic view, this report was personally submitted by Liu Qi, and the place where he had just set up for a few months was the wolf! At that time, Liu Yi also had detailed discussions with several military advisors in the land of Hanzhong, and handed over the details of the Meridian Valley to Tian'er, and deducing the war and formulating the rules of war became the first task after the establishment of the Heavenly Wolf.

Later, Cui Yan sent an envoy to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu pleaded guilty and sent his eldest son Zhang Fu to Beijing as a hostage, which was regarded as an expression of attitude to a certain extent, but the deduction of the wolf did not stagnate because of this, and in Liu Yi's case, the affairs of the military family are always prepared! Tian'er and this matter are extremely efficient, Guo Jia and Liu Yun regard it as a key point, and there will be a response in March, determining the location of Liu Yi's Meridian Valley and exploring the terrain clearly, the intelligence can indeed be passed here, but it is narrow and difficult to travel, and even some dangers are quite dangerous for a single person, and the transportation of the baggage in the army is extremely difficult, if there is no wheelbarrow, I am afraid that only by manpower to carry the body, it seems that this month's trip will be extremely difficult, However, after synthesizing all kinds of military information and according to Tian'er's words, the people in the Heavenly Wolf selected the same terrain in the mountains of Youzhou for experimentation, and the answer they came to was that this valley was feasible!

Once this is confirmed, all their energy will be focused on the setting of the tactics, what is said in this book is only a rough outline, and there are also various detailed strategies for the reference of King Yan, of course, their task is not over at this time, and the more detailed strategy can only be determined after the topographic map of Tian'er is drawn, it can be said that what Liu Yi is holding in his hand at this time is a draft!

But this draft has made Liu Yi quite satisfied with the ability of the Sky Wolf that he created, there are naturally flaws, many places are still a little immature, and sometimes even underestimate the difficulties, but there are quite new things in that one tactic, as the first task, the Sky Wolf Staff Organization should be considered qualified, because these tactics they put forward are all for Liu Yi and several military advisors to refer to, once the plan is determined, it will naturally be carefully studied, Eliminate the ill-conceived parts of the battle to make the battle plan more thorough.

At this time, this shortcut from Yongzhou to Hanzhong has not yet been called the Meridian Valley, but whether it is Tian'er or Tianwolf's description of this place, it is consistent with Liu Yi's impression, I remember that when Wei Yan proposed the strategy of the Meridian Valley surprise attack, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 soldiers to carry out the food, as a means of surprise attack, this army must strike at the key point of the enemy army in the fastest time after leaving the valley, and the enemy's unpreparedness is its greatest advantage. To do a very simple calculation problem, an adult strong man needs about half of his body weight for a month, so that the five thousand soldiers who have negative grain have been roughly exhausted when they arrive at the valley mouth, even if there is some residue, it is only a few days' needs, so for this strange army, if they can't find a follow-up place within seven days, they will not need to be attacked by the enemy and will collapse themselves, and Zhuge Liang, who has been cautious all his life, does not need this strategy.

Of course, Wei Yan's method also has a great possibility of success, if he successfully disrupts the enemy's rear to get supplies and then cooperate with the opportunity of the front-line army to attack, it can be combined with the outside and get twice the result with half the effort, Liu Yi has always thought that if Liu Bei does not die, it is very likely to implement Wei Yan's strategy, because in his vision, he must see that if this continues, the enemy army will become stronger and stronger, and he is just the opposite, rather than this, it is better to give it a go and win in danger!

And the reason why Liu Yi remembered that this tactic was based on his own strong strength, the same thing will have different effects if different people do it, the Shu State at that time could pick out 10,000 elite soldiers from this, and now Liu Yi must be able to deal with it several times, Wei Yan needs 5,000 soldiers to bear the grain and grass for the army, he has a wheelbarrow in hand, but it can provide a more durable combat capability for the surprise army, which is also extremely obvious in the proposal of the Heavenly Wolf, and the 30,000 elite soldiers they proposed to the King of Yan are not just words, It takes into account all factors.

Now these tactics may not be used in practice, but the wolf's suggestion is by no means useless, the drill of the mountain corps must not be wasted, and walking through the rugged mountain roads will also become a necessary quality for these corps in the future, Liu Yi will give Zhang Lu a surprise, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, not to mention that Zhang Gongqi still has reservations in his attitude, and Liu Yi hates the most is to waver!

After thinking for a while, Liu Yi began to put pen to paper to review the proposal of the Heavenly Wolf, not only to encourage their whimsical ideas but also to point out the shortcomings in its strategy, as the staff headquarters of the brain of the whole army, the price paid for any mistake may be the lives of thousands of soldiers, and the formulation of the strategic plan should be as thorough and detailed as possible to reduce the probability of missing. It is believed that in the process of such exchanges, the Sky Wolf can further mature, and now Liu Yi can still give them enough time to refine their ideas.

In addition to the Hanzhong strategy, there is also a proposal that aroused Liu Yi's great interest, the person who proposed this matter is surnamed Gao Mingwei, before entering the Heavenly Wolf, he was a Sima in the Yanyun Battalion, and now he is only twenty-two, and he is also the second batch of students in the whole army of the Youzhou Martial Academy, and he was recruited into the Heavenly Wolf because of his outstanding performance. This time, he stood in the perspective of Cao Cao and Liu Bei and planned a plan to attack the subordinate territory of King Yan, that is, to send troops from here to attack Jizhou at the cost of Qingzhou, and then after attracting the main force of the Youzhou army, he sent troops from two places in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, one pointing at Pi and the other pointing at Yecheng!

Such a proposal would be considered a big rebellion if it was placed in the rest of the princes' armies, and it would be impossible to say that it would be subject to military law, but in the Heavenly Wolf, this was something that Liu Yi encouraged everyone to do, since this organization similar to the General Staff Headquarters was set up to brainstorm ideas, how could he imprison the various ideas under his command? Besides, empathy is for the sake of the general, and sometimes the opinion of an inconspicuous little person can have a crucial impact on the war situation, which is innumerable in the history of warfare in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, the most famous of which is the worship offensive of the US army!

Although this proposal lacks practical basis compared to the concept of Hanzhong strategy, and there is no too careful inference, some of the tactics are taken for granted, but this proposal has attracted Liu Yi's great attention, and the current general trend of the world is indeed that he is strong and weak, but will a hero like Cao Cao and Liu Bei sit back and wait for him to attack? The best defense is to attack, Liu Yi's understanding of this is extremely profound, it is impossible to say that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will have the same understanding, even if they don't mention these two, Kong Ming is one of the masters, in Liu Yi's view, his six out of Qishan is not so much the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to complete the last wish of the ancestors but rather a strategic defense is more appropriate!

In later generations, some people will take the futility of six Qi Mountains as the basis for attacking Zhuge Liang's lack of military talent, but for Liu Yi, it is just the opposite, I am afraid that the essence of Kong Ming's military talent in his life has been used here, and the Wei State, which has two thirds of the world, has an absolute advantage in terms of economy, population and military compared to the Shu State in a state, even if he is distracted and Eastern Wu, he can't change this power comparison, but in this situation, they still have to take a defensive position against the army of Shu, and they lose more and win less, There may be other reasons for this, but Kong Ming's military talent cannot be ignored, Liu Yi will not despise the talent of the mastermind of filial piety, and will never ignore Zhuge Liang's ability to command the army, and now he is still a gap in strength compared with the Wei State back then.

Of course, Liu Yi did not ignore this change when formulating the two-year strategy, and also made corresponding arrangements, but this suggestion still gave him a great reminder, can his response be guaranteed? In terms of military strength alone, Liu Yi at this time may not be under the joint forces of Cao and Liu, but don't forget that the elongation of the battle line is likely to put him at a local disadvantage, Cao Cao Liu Bei's subordinates are not lacking in good hands who will use a little advantage to the extreme, Gao Wei's ideas may still seem quite immature, but when these ideas come from the hands of Er Xun or Zhuge Lu Xun and others? I'm afraid that once they make a move, they will make a lot of moves, and they have their own ingenuity.

With such worries, Liu Yi once again examined his layout in defense, he also has to stand in the other party's position to find the shortcomings, the two-year strategy is only half, his strength has increased at the same time Cao and Liu are also recuperating, although there is no military intelligence to show that there is a sign of cooperation between the two, but in Liu Yi's case, I am afraid that it will be too late when he learns, this matter not only has to arouse a high degree of vigilance, but the major generals are also general, prevention is always better than making up for it afterwards, This incident is enough to reflect the value of the existence of the wolf, and it has strengthened Liu Yi's determination to strengthen it even more!
