The gentleman was humble. Om Yong just thought that the battle to destroy Zhongshan was like two doctors, a doctor's parents' heart, hanging a pot to help the world, seeking mercy, and longing for non-attack. However, the old doctor's behavior is not wrong. The greed of man and the sin of nature are not exempt from the saints. Therefore, if you want to put an end to this chaotic world, only by eliminating this difference can the world be peaceful. ”

"Although the monarch is like this, the vassal states of the world are not blindly expropriating and tyrannical, and some princes are deeply loved by the people. At such a time, even if violence is used to counter violence and destroy its country, I am afraid that its people may not be able to obey Zhao State. ”

"Sir, Lone has always felt that there are too many possibilities for public opinion. Because there are too many possibilities, it is easy to be kneaded and dressed up. Zhao Yongdao, "It's like now, Lone personally presided over General Sima's memorial ceremony, except for the original Zhongshan defenders, only a few people came out to bid farewell to the general." It's just that the soldiers are placed in front of their homes. Could you, General Sima, not be a good official who loves the people like a son? ”

He felt that if Zhao Yong was not a monarch, he might be able to become a good scholar, at least his position on certain points of view was always thought-provoking. He stands in the light, but he is always not afraid to think about the dark, he admires the yang scheme, but he does not have much aversion to the conspiracy. It seems that as long as the end can be achieved, he doesn't mind what the means are.

This is very consistent with some of Mozi's pragmatism, but there are many inadequacies for Mozi's love and non-attack thoughts, which makes it very difficult for the belly to explain his senses.

Looking at the back of the belly and leaving, Zhao Yong's slightly fluctuating mood finally calmed down a little, he thought about it, and asked behind his back: "Mr. left today, I don't know when we can see each other again?" ”

Belly Shu paused slightly, did not look back, and said from a distance: "Today, Belly Shu left, not because he agrees with the wisdom of the king, but because he has no talent, and he thinks that he can't obey the king." The Mo family's concept of stopping martial arts has not changed, and if the monarch fights in the north and south in the future, he will definitely be able to meet the Mo family. See you again, I hope that someone can serve you. With a sudden sudden, he disappeared from Zhao Yong's field of vision, and disappeared without a trace.

"Of course, Lone also hopes that he can serve the Mo family." Zhao Yong looked at the figure that had left and muttered to himself. Although he tried his best to get the help of the Mo family, especially the Mo family's tricks, which were simply a weapon for attacking the city, if he could be recognized by the Mo family, it would definitely help the military strength of the Zhao State. However, from a psychological point of view, Zhao Yong is unwilling to reluctantly, perhaps in his opinion, a convincing person and an oral person, or the former often play a greater role.

In the city lord's mansion, Zhao Yuan read the latest military intelligence report, and Zhao Guang was responsible for marking the wooden puppets representing different forces on the sand table. Due to Zhao Yong's promotion, the sand table has become an important tool for Zhao Jun, and the situation of both sides can be obtained between the dimensions, which is clear at a glance.

Everyone can feel that the news of the destruction of Shiyi City has become an important step in stirring up the Zhongshan Guozuo. The Zhao army broke through the city of Shiyi and gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Zhongshan, through which the Zhao state could cross the Hutuo River to the north, approach the capital of Zhongshan, Lingshou, and support the two siege forces of the Zhao army to the east, disintegrating the other side in terms of morale; To the west, Jingcheng was blocked between Daijun and Shiyi, and the other party wanted to send troops, and he had to always weigh whether he had returned; To the south, it was connected with the house city and became the northernmost part of Zhao's arrival in Zhongshan.

That is, on the day of entering the city, Le Yi and Wu Guang spread the news of the breakthrough of Shiyi to other armies by fast horses, although it had just rained and the road was very muddy, but on the third day, a lot of military information flocked to it.

"General Pang Cong has sent a message that the morale of the defenders of Fenglong City has been reduced to a minimum, and General Pang is preparing to carry out a final attack in three days, hoping to seal Dragon City in a battle."

"The Left Route Army encountered enemy attacks from the direction of Hengshui near Luancheng, and once fought against the Zhongshan coalition army in the eastern area of Luancheng. The two sides have suffered damage to each other, and the latest battle report sent by General Zhao shows that the Zhongshan army has recently shown signs of retreating. The general was going to send a part of the cavalry to track, and the main force moved to Luancheng to conquer the defenders of Luancheng. ”

"Could it be a conspiracy of the Zhongshan Army?" Wu Chong listened to the battle report and suddenly interjected.

Everyone had to ponder carefully for a while when they heard this, but soon, Le Yi was sure of it: "Don't worry, this should be the other party's retreat, not like some conspiracy." I felt that General Zhao had lost sight of one or the other this time. In a certain opinion, instead of besieging the city, General Zhao should try his best to deal with the Zhongshan army. If you can destroy a little, you can contain the enemy army for a while, and if you can contain the enemy for a while, you will be held back for a while. Then, when he went back to attack Luancheng, the effect was even better. ”

"But if this is the case, will it cause pressure on the central part of the city and the general Pang Cong who attacked Fenglong City? What's more, the purpose of our army is Luancheng, why do you need to do more? Zhao Guang, who had been listening for a while, asked.

In the three armies of the Zhao Army's Northern Expedition, the command system was different. The Right Route Army led by Zhao Zhuang, whether it is commanding operations or grain and grass logistics, is all in charge of Zhao Zhuang, and he is the command center of the entire army; The middle road Pang Cong troops, although they are also based on Pang Cong as the center, but Pang Cong himself is not meticulous, and many things are handed over to the people below, but he has enough rights in terms of battle command and troop transfer.

Only Zhao Yong's journey is different. Maybe it's because Zhao Yong likes to lead troops, but his military literacy is almost zero, he likes to let his subordinates do everything well like in his previous life, and wait for himself to decide. Therefore, whether it is Li Zhuo, Zhao Guang, or Le Yi and Wu Guang, they all dare to express their opinions when discussing the military situation, and they do not care at all whether Zhao Yong is present or not. This had to be the result of Zhao Yong's connivance. In fact, this is mostly because Zhao Yong has watched too many TV series, and completely built his command center according to the staff system of later generations. But in reality, this is simply unlikely. The function of the General Staff is to gain more command authority and to carry out tactical intervention on the front line at the first time through a developed information network; And now, Sun Wu's set of generals who are not subject to foreign monarch orders is the best command strategy.

In any case, Zhao Yong's set of free-flowing communication methods has given Li Zhuo and other young officers the opportunity to show their talents, and it is easier to develop the ability to make independent judgments.

"Attacking Luancheng is at most a goal, not an end." Le Yi explained to everyone, "The purpose of our army is to advance the defense line against Zhongshan to the bank of the Hutuo River, with Shiyi as the focus in the west and Luancheng as the center in the east, all in order to be able to gain a foothold here and become an important base wedged into the hinterland of Zhongshan." However, near Luancheng, there are mostly plains, and Zhongshan has been operating for many years again, and is also more familiar with the terrain than our army. If the army in Zhongshan can be weakened as much as possible, then our army's operation in Luancheng will be smoother. Otherwise, when attacking Luancheng, no one dared to guarantee that the other party would not come out to harass him. ”

When everyone heard Le Yi's analysis, they nodded one after another, and their evaluation of Le Yi in their hearts unconsciously increased. Although Le Yi is relatively indifferent personally, he doesn't like to communicate with people. But it is undeniable that his overall view and strategic insight are still higher than others.

After such a topic, everyone also began to put forward their own opinions, some for advice, some for suggestions, and so on. The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became warm. Of course, many people know that Zhao Yong's best characteristic is that he is not suspicious. As long as the other party can complete the task and does not completely lose hope of completing the goal, Zhao Yong will not order the work of the generals from all walks of life. Such a monarch is what many generals dream of.

Just when everyone's discussion was in full swing, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a figure walked in with firm steps, he didn't look at everyone's expressions, just stared at the sand table on the table, and said while looking: "Is there any news over there?" Isn't there any movement over there at Jingcheng Pass? ”

"Not yet, I think it's better to take the initiative than wait. Persuasion is the main thing, and attack is the supplement, and it is best to take this pass at a relatively high price. "Le Yi, as the first think tank, must be the first to speak.

"What the military advisor said, deep loneliness." Zhao Yong thought for a while, turned his head to Wu Guangdao, "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to Sima to handle, and after you will join Li Zhuo, you will lead the troops to attack Jingcheng Pass!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shiyi fell, and Jingcheng Pass was also a frightened bird, and it was not particularly difficult to persuade him to surrender. Wu Guang was a little excited when he saw Zhao Yong giving this military merit to himself.

"What about Fango? Don't believe it, when the Zhongshan Army found our cavalry troops wandering on the edge of Fanwu, there was not a trace of heartbeat? ”

"Back to the king, Fanwu's side, there is no major military information yet, presumably ......"

Just as Le Yi was not finished, he heard a crisp voice outside, rushed to the door in a hurry, and then shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, there is an urgent military situation!" Then, he took out a barrel-shaped object from his bosom and handed it to the soldier outside the door. The soldier took the object from the man, carefully examined the fire paint on the item, and hurried into the house.

Everyone watched, the soldier knelt beside Zhao Yong, raised his hands above his head, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, there is an important military situation!." ”

Zhao Yong looked at the person in front of him, then at the soldiers outside the door, took the things and opened them, and after looking at them for a while, he sent the bamboo slips in the bucket to Le Yi for everyone to pass on. He said leisurely: "Qiu Liquid defeated the elite cavalry of Zhongshan Kingdom, and from then on the Zhongshan people will be completely abandoned." ”
