Chapter 231: The Monarch and the Minister
Two generations of people, two generations of soldiers, familiar with military books, personally led the army, Lin Feng always remembered: know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. : efefd does not know the other, but knows himself, one win and one lose. I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle.
The experience of the two lives taught him that if he wants to survive in a war full of deceitful and dangerous, it is extremely important to know the enemy and understand himself. If you want to be invincible in a war for a long time, you must understand your opponent, including his troop habits, troop deployment, personality traits, and so on.
Only by understanding the enemy can you deliver a fatal blow in a targeted manner
Seeing Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng listened carefully, Lin Feng became interested, and said sharply: "Remember: soldiers, treacherous." Marching to fight is the art of deceit, that is, in war, use all kinds of tactics to deceive the enemy.
For example, they can fight well, but they pretend to be weak and incompetent to the enemy. Originally, he was going to use troops, but he pretended not to be ready for battle, and wanted to attack a target at a close distance, but he gave the enemy the illusion of attacking a distant place.
If you want to attack a target at a distance, but on the contrary pretend to attack at a close distance, the enemy will be greedy and use small profits to lure him into being fooled, and the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to attack him when he is chaotic, and if the enemy is strong, he must be cautious, and if the enemy is strong, he will temporarily avoid his edge, and if the enemy is easy to get angry, he will try to provoke him and make him lose his mind.
To the cautious enemy, we must do everything possible to indulge him and make him lose his vigilance, and the enemy will try to harass him and make him tired, and the enemy who is united internally will try to divide him and divide him. When the enemy is unprepared, launch a sudden attack and act when the enemy is not expecting it. All these are the secrets of military success with soldiers, and they can only be used flexibly and improvised, and cannot be taught rigidly in advance. ”
During the period of raising troops, Lin Feng thought about writing out all the later generations of Sun Tzu's Art of War and 36 strategies, edited them into a document, and handed them over to the generals under his command.
"Your Majesty, there are still these ways to fight in war, although we usually use them, but I didn't expect there to be so many" Zhang Yu said in surprise, he boasted that he had Lin Feng's true biography, extremely cunning, the sword went sideways, and he won by surprise, but he couldn't help it, but listening to Lin Feng's words, he suddenly realized that he and Lin Feng were like the light of fireflies competing with the sun and the moon, which was too insignificant.
A sentence of soldier, sophistry, is full of infinite evolutionary methods, and this sentence alone makes him infinitely useful, and it takes a long time to comprehend.
"Yes, the emperor's words made Weichen suddenly," Hou Mingfeng praised him.
Lin Feng smiled, shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully: "The way of marching is ever-changing, treacherous, suitable for Zhang Yu, but for you, daring to fight, fighting to the death, and fighting hard is the royal way, to do this, you must always remember, attack, attack, and attack again." In front of you, even if there are thousands of miles of mountains, you must step him flat, and even if there are a thousand ravines, you must fill him.
In every battle, we ensure that the troops are flexible and mobile, and boldly advance. When attacking, it is equipped with strong arrow rain support to suppress the enemy, and in a fierce battle, if the strength of the opponent is not enough, use the momentum to suppress the opponent.
You just need to know that attack is always the most concise, concise, and effective way to fight a legion.
In a war of annihilation, it is necessary to quietly lay an extremely heavy emphasis on superior forces and powerful forces, form an overwhelming momentum, despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, and win a great victory. ”
Lin Feng didn't know if what he said was right or not, but after personally leading the troops, in the battle against the Donghu people, he did what he did, that is, with a small number of troops, he would always maintain a strong momentum, and if he didn't fight, he would also make the other party cowardly.
"Well, the emperor's words contain a lot of content, and I will keep it in mind, digest it, and then integrate it into it, and live it alive." Hou Mingfeng's way, Lin Feng pointed out Zhang Yu, and then pointed him out, but they were two completely different methods, which made Hou Mingfeng realize that marching and fighting is not child's play.
The tactics I have used before, and there are more esoteric, no wonder the ancients said that marching and fighting is also a science.
Looking at the stunned expressions of the two, Lin Feng said with a smile: "Before attacking Jin, I will pay great attention to the generals of the whole army, and tell you about it well, fighting is always the most cruel, but there are the simplest things, fighting is an art, and it is always full of charm."
"Ugh." Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng didn't have time to digest Lin Feng's words, and Lin Feng didn't affect the two of them, the master introduced the door, and the art was in the individual, the previous words, the two of them absorbed and comprehended as much as they wanted
Taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Lin Feng turned his head to Situ beside him and asked, "What have you been doing in the five northern countries recently?"
The gathering of troops by the five countries to attack the Song Dynasty is something he is very concerned about, and success or failure is related to the pattern of the north and affects the future deployment of the Yan State.
Situ is in Nanhu, but about the matter of the Five Kingdoms raising troops to attack the Song Dynasty, the imperial court has been constantly transmitting the latest trends, therefore, he also has an understanding of this matter, not only the Five Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty, the princes and the alliance, he also understands and considers, because he knows that Lin Feng summoned the four of them today and will definitely talk about these things.
After all, the Five Kingdoms Attack Song, or the alliance of the princes, is an urgent matter, if there is no countermeasure, the Yan Kingdom will suffer in the next confrontation with the countries.
"Your Majesty, the Five Kingdoms Invade the Song Dynasty, and the countries are preparing for war in full swing, and the latest news that the minister understands shows that as the initiator of the Five Kingdoms Invasion of the Song Dynasty, Northern Zhao raised 200,000 troops and prepared to attack the Song State from the Zheng State aisle. However, if Northern Zhao knew that Yan and Song were in different places, they would definitely attack the Bishan region, and at the same time, through Zheng State, the main army would attack Song State.
Chen and Liang also sent 100,000 troops each, and Zheng and Jin were obstructed by the front of the army, so they temporarily sent 50,000 troops each.
Among the Five Kingdoms, Liang attacked Southern Zhao, and Zhao, Zheng, Chen, and Jin attacked Song, and the direction of attack was different. However, the Five Kingdoms have been attacking the Song Dynasty with great fanfare, but it has always been difficult for the Hezong Alliance to work together, and at present, the Five Kingdoms have not yet begun to attack the Song Dynasty, but rumors have already spread.
It is reported that the Liang State is too far away from the Song State, and the attack on the Song State has to cross the Southern Zhao and Zheng States, which is a bit beyond the reach of the whip, even if it captures part of the territory of the Song State, it is difficult to manage, therefore, the King of Liang retreated to the second place, and instead attacked the Song ally, Nanzhao.
However, Northern Zhao regarded Southern Zhao as Northern Zhao territory and forbade Liang to attack Southern Zhao, and at the same time, Northern Zhao took advantage of the issue of Zheng Guo and temporarily failed to form an alliance with Zheng State.
And the east of the Chen State, also hesitated, Zhao Zheng, Jin and Liang are all in the west of the Song State, once the war of the Song Dynasty is over, the five countries retreat, the Song State pursues, the four countries are easy to unite, only the Chen State, a corner of peace, the end of the Five Kingdoms of the Song Dynasty, the Chen State is easy to be surrounded by the Song State in the east, fighting to the death
The Jin State wanted to recapture the western Jin region, but it was guarded by the Song State's heavy troops in Shaoyang County, choked the Jin State into the throat, and sealed the Jin State to death in the east of Jin.
Therefore, before the five countries attacked the Song Dynasty and eliminated the Song State, the five countries had major differences on the issue of sending troops, and there were cracks in the alliance. ”
When Lin Feng heard this, he chuckled, it has never been a good thing to join forces, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the magnificent combination of vertical and horizontal, because of the different interests of the princes, they pulled each other's skins, or fell into the ground, which eventually led to the dominance of the Qin State.
It seems that even if the five countries will not miscarry, I am afraid that because of their respective interests, they will not be able to fight with the Song State for long, on the contrary, under the strategy of the Song State, under the co-optation and suppression, the five countries will suffer serious losses.
"Heh, I still feel that the Yan Kingdom is immersed in a hard battle, and strengthening itself is the most important thing, the Five Kingdoms are fighting the Song Dynasty, wasting manpower and material resources, after all, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and it will not hurt the Song Kingdom at all." Lin Feng sighed lightly, there are only common interests, there is no common enemy, the Five Kingdoms Attack on the Song Dynasty is by no means as simple as Bei Zhao imagined.
If the five kingdoms attacked the Song Dynasty and the Song State had the Bishan region, it would either attack Zheng or attack the Southern Zhao, so as to weaken the Northern Zhao, and no matter which side the troops were sent, it would be beneficial to the Song State.
Situ nodded and said: "After all, union is not a long-term solution, without strong strength, relying on other countries is like unrealistic in the air." In front of the five countries to attack the Song Dynasty, each with their own thoughts, will eventually collapse because of different interests, not to mention, if the current Song State bribes Liang and Chen with a lot of money, the two countries may not send troops, on the contrary, Song and Liang united, divided the Southern Zhao, and attacked the Northern Zhao, the effect is far more than the five countries to attack the Song Dynasty, and the Liang State has gained more, not to mention, between the Liang State and the Southern Zhao State, there are many small countries, at this moment, it is a good opportunity to expand the territory. ”
Lin Feng smiled evilly and said: "I hope that Song Liang will form an alliance and defeat Northern Zhao, at that time, there will be many people and great strength, and the Yan Kingdom will send troops from the Black Flag Pass and also share the pie." ”
"The emperor's idea is good, but when the minister returned to Nanhu, he heard that the soldier Liu Zhuoya, the Guigu Gu Xiwen entered Zhao, and Zhao Kebai was the secretary of Shangqing, ready to change the law. These two people are all famous people in the world, especially Liu Zhuoya, who is known as the first person in the military family, has unpredictable talents, and will never let the Song and Liang alliances and destroy the Five Kingdoms to destroy the Song Dynasty. Situ shook his head, things would not be as simple as the two imagined.
Lin Feng gasped, Northern Zhao is strong, it is a threat to Yan State, but Song State is dominant, and it is a greater threat to Yan State, only if the two countries consume each other, it will be beneficial to Yan State, at present, Northern Zhao is also ready to change the law, this is not a good thing, at least for Yan State, it is not a good thing.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng's thoughts finally brightened, and said: "The exchange of land between the two countries of Yan and Song will eventually allow the five countries to continue to attack the Song Dynasty, at least, Northern Zhao, Liang State, and Zheng State, because of the Bishan region, and the Song State are at war, I also hope that the Zhao and Song countries will not have time to grow, but will fight each other and consume, which will be conducive to the Yan State, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king." ”
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Situ seemed to understand, and suddenly said happily: "The emperor is right, Bishan will eventually be the point of contention between Northern Zhao, Liang State, Zheng State, and Song State, and I am afraid that there will be no peace there." ”
