Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Chief General (II)
"You are all warriors! Rare warriors! Qian Buli paused: "Li Xiaoyun, remember your people, and when you go back, report their names, and I will give each of you a credit." ”
"Thank you, sir."
"I think I thank you!" Qian Buli waved his hand: "Okay, you can rest on the spot, don't need those restraints, um... I said, don't be so restrained! Have there not been any of you who have drunk with me? ”
"My lord, I've had a drink with you." A soldier stepped forward.
"Haha... Okay, okay, then you can set an example for them! ”
The soldier hesitated, ran to the bridge, and sat down on the steps, and the other soldiers did the same, and scattered, some sitting, some lying, and some lying on their stomachs, because he had hurt his buttocks, and could not sit down or lie down.
Qian Buli turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and patted Li Xiaoyun on the shoulder: "It's really difficult for you, let you take a thousand people to resist Fang Laosheng's department, you did a good job, really good!" ”
"No, no, my lord, the general is incompetent!" Li Xiaoyun said with some trepidation: "The last general has lost so many people, the last general... ”
"There is no immortal in war." Qian Buli smiled: "But I want to ask you one thing, your night attack is very good, if you take everyone in your headquarters, can you defeat Fang Laosheng in the night attack?" ”
Li Xiaoyun secretly calculated, according to the combat strength of Fang Laosheng's department just now, if he really brought all the soldiers over, even if he divided a hundred people to guard the prisoners, he would be sure to defeat Fang Laosheng in the night attack! Thinking of this, Li Xiaoyun nodded: "Yes." ”
"Then why don't you bring all the people with you? Don't be nervous... Hehe, I'm just discussing with you, not blaming you. Qian Buli said with a smile: "Is it because my order is for you to contain Fang Laosheng's department and defend Bailongdu, so you don't dare to give up Bailongdu?" ”
Li Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Qian Buli sighed lightly, and looked back, Wang Rui's cavalry team had not caught up at this time, in fact, Wang Rui should have gone to the Rainbow Bridge before Qian Buli, but he had already scattered his own cavalry, chasing everywhere, recruiting and surrendering the rout, in the dark night, this was a laborious and painstaking job.
Li Xiaoyun heard Qian Buli sigh, and his whole heart hung up: "Big... Am I doing something wrong, my lord? ”
"You did nothing wrong." Qian Buli smiled gently: "I mean... You're doing well, but you can do better, come, sit down, we'll sit down. After speaking, Qian Buli sat on the steps very casually.
Li Xiaoyun was a little at a loss, but he still sat down obediently.
"Let's make an assumption, what will happen if you give up Bailongdu and attack Fang Laosheng at night with all your troops?"
"But... Don't want Bailongdu anymore? Besides, if Fang Laosheng was feinting, didn't I just fall into his trap? ”
Qian Buli was silent for a while, in fact, before the war, he had an idea, let Fang Laosheng cross the river, and then encircle Fang Laosheng on the bank of the Bailong River, but unfortunately the communication in this world is too underdeveloped, if Fang Laosheng is released from the river too early, and Qian Buli is not skilled, it will bring great harm to Fuzhou Mansion.
"Xiaoyun, don't take me as the commander now, let's say from the bottom of our hearts, if I hadn't ordered you to contain Fang Laosheng and defend Bailongdu, how would you fight this battle?" Qian Buli looked at Li Xiaoyun with sincere eyes.
Li Xiaoyun thought deeply, and only raised his head after a while: "I will send additional scouts to the Rainbow Bridge, and at the same time order the whole army to rest, if Fang Laosheng does go to the Rainbow Bridge, I will take the whole army to march in a hurry and attack Fang Laosheng's camp in the early morning, in terms of time... Make it. ”
"Then you don't want your White Dragon Crossing?" Qian Buli laughed.
"I can set up a suspicious formation, even if they really dare to cross the river to occupy Bailongdu, they will not act rashly without knowing the movements of our army and without Fang Laosheng's orders." Li Xiaoyun's expression relaxed: "When the adult's cavalry team arrives, it will be just in time to annihilate them on the banks of the White Dragon River." ”
"That's what I want!" Qian Bu said: "Orders are dead, but the war situation is always changing, as a general, you must be flexible, learn to act cheaply, and this is the reason why the general is outside and the king's order is not granted." ”
Li Xiaoyun nodded as he thought.
"Our opponent in this battle is a very fragile rogue, so we won, if Fang Laosheng's department is a regular army with strong combat power, and you still stick to the White Dragon Ferry, even if we can win in the end, we will have to pay a heavy price!"
"But..."
"This still refers to the fact that the other party's generals and Fang Laosheng made the same mistake and divided the troops! If the other party learns your idea, sets up a suspicious formation on the other side, and captures the Rainbow Bridge with all its forces, it should be us who will be defeated. ”
"As a general, the most important thing is to be flexible, cunning as a fox, as fast as the wind, and good at surprise, in the future, you will all be generals on one side of the fierce battle, and it is absolutely impossible to stick to the rules!" Qian Buli ended his preaching with a hint, in fact, he was very satisfied with Li Xiaoyun's ability, the cavalry generals were Du Bing and Wang Rui, and the newcomer Guan Yudong seemed to have good ability, and he could be released after a little exercise; But infantry generals are in urgent need, in addition to one Ren Shuai, Qian Buli can't find another person who can provoke the beam, although Ren Shuai strongly praised Li Xiaoyun for being good at guarding, but Qian Buli needs not to be a good general, is it not possible to nest in Fuzhou for the rest of his life? How can a big husband be in a safe corner!!
However, this kind of thing is not taught by himself, and the other party can understand, he needs to understand it himself, understand it in winning battles, and realize it in losing battles. Or add it to him.
In Li Xiaoyun's contemplation, Wang Ruibu had slowly concentrated around the Rainbow Bridge, and although their second wave of attacks followed closely behind Du Bing, there were still many of Fang Laosheng's soldiers who fled by night.
Qian Buli glanced at the approximate number of captives, and knew that the trouble that would give Jia Tianxiang a headache in the future could not be avoided, if these escaped thieves did not dare to return to their hometowns, they could only make a living by looting in the mountains and forests, unless they could capture Fang Laosheng alive and recruit them in the name of Fang Laosheng.
"Your Excellency!" Wang Rui jumped down from the war horse and respectfully saluted Qian Buli: "The last general failed to find Fang Laosheng, he should have fled to the Rainbow Bridge." ”
Qian Buli nodded, and glanced at Wang Rui seemingly unintentionally. Qian Buli knew one thing, and it was tiring to die if he did everything, so he decided to choose the chief general of a cavalry team between Du Bing and Wang Rui. Wang Rui's talent is also good, but unfortunately there is a problem of checks and balances, Jia Tianxiang has already led the government affairs of Fuzhou, Wang Rui is a distant relative of Jia Tianxiang, if Wang Rui is allowed to serve as the chief general of the cavalry, Qian Buli is always a little uneasy, after all, in those thousands of years of history, Qian Buli has seen countless power dumps, and he doesn't want to let himself become a victim of it.
This time, Qian Buli deliberately let Du Bing take over the great credit, which is a subtle hint, Du Bing has made two great achievements, and he can naturally be promoted to a higher rank in the general, while Wang Rui is only sheltering and hunting down the defeated soldiers, and his credit can only be temporarily recorded in the credit book.
Qian Buli didn't want to be involved in political affairs, because his interest was only in war, but if it was compared to power, Qian Buli would never lose to Jia Tianxiang! The most stable situation of the power structure is a three-legged stand, with Ren Shuai as the main force in the infantry, and then subduing a Li Xiaoyun at this moment, plus the local forces of the Tu people he deliberately supported, or headed by Fuliang or Meng Tietou, the structure of the infantry is stable.
There are Du Bing and Wang Rui in the cavalry, and after he subdues Guan Yudong, the structure of the cavalry will come out, of course, if he is not at ease with Guan Yudong, Guan Yudong can only continue to be his staff officer.
Qian Buli can trust his subordinates, but he will not give up the due checks and balances because of trust, no superior's position is based on feelings, and reason is the basic certificate of all superiors.
