"The world and the country are the same. Today, there are children who work and weave, work hard all year round, and there are few silks, and their fathers and brothers take them and squander them; If you are a little unsatisfactory, you will be whipped and cruel, and you will be merciful to death. ”

"In addition to the sloppiness, but also the hatred of the people. If I rely on my wealth to enrich myself, but when I see insults, I will make my children respond. The children are able to support it, and they condemn everything. However, the things that are hated by the year are not invaded and insulted at the beginning, and you are safe? ”

"Today's service is heavy, the officials invade the fishery, and the agricultural mulberry is not enough to supply. The husband is born with the people, the shepherd of the tree, and the original is to support the people; It is tyrannical! The heart of heaven and man, can you be free from sorrow? And in addition to the voice, dogs and horses, civil engineering, prayer shrines, armor soldiers, flowers and stones, the silver silk bribes in the northwest are millions, and they are all bare-blooded in the southeast. The second captivity has been lightened by China, and it has been harassed year after year. The court did not dare to abolish it, and the prime minister thought that Anbian was also a long-term strategy. The people of Duwu are diligent all year round, their wives are frozen, and they can't get enough food for a day. ”

"In the past 30 years, the old ministers of the patriarch have been degraded to death, and those who are in charge are all filthy and evil people, but they know that they are obscene and promiscuous with their voices, and all the major political affairs of the court are also compassionate. In the external supervision department, the shepherds are also greedy and despicable, and do not care about the locality. The people of the southeast have been suffering from exploitation for a long time! In recent years, the disturbance of flowers and stones, especially the Fukan. ”

"If the kings can rise up in righteousness, the four sides will hear the wind and respond; In the middle of the day, all can be gathered. When the ministers heard this, they would solicit and discuss, but they did not apply for it. I thought that I would delay it for a month or two, and the counties in the south of the Yangtze River could be drummed down. The imperial court was retribution, but it was unable to decide to send troops, and it would take more than a month to delay the meeting; It is necessary to train soldiers for half a year, and it is the first and last month since I started the army. ”

"At this time, it is decided, and there is nothing to worry about. In addition, the two captives in the northwest have one million dollars, and the imperial court has a military fund of 100,000 yuan, which is more than that in the southeast; Since I have the Jiangbiao, I will take it from the Central Plains. The Central Plains is unbearable, and internal changes will occur. When the two captives hear about it, they will also take the opportunity to enter. The abdomen and back are subject to the enemy, although there are Yi and Lu, they can't plan for it. ”

"I will row the river and defend it, lightly pay for the meager endowment, and use the people's strength to lenient, which of the four directions will not come to the court? In the past ten years, it will be a mess. Otherwise, they will die in vain by the ears of greedy officials. Gentlemen, you have to plan it! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Gou nodded appreciatively and said, "It's really eloquent, enough to become an orator." If an uninformed person hears about it, nine times out of ten they will obey his words, believe in his words, and hit the nail on the head, presumably they have been planning for a long time, and they are really hidden deep enough. ”

Zhao Gou looked at the thick pile of information, and he didn't explain much, but there were a lot of things, even the oath of Fang La's uprising, and what he said, were investigated clearly.

He had to admire the ability of his thirteen emperor uncles, Amber Villa was really not to be underestimated, this ability was comparable to the intelligence department of later generations, pervasive, as long as he wanted to investigate, he could find out everything about that person, which was quite efficient.

From this, it can be inferred that Fang La is not the kind of person who has courage and no strategy, and he is careful at every step. Among them, the interests of the local people still need to be considered, otherwise the only way to do this is to raise a butcher's knife. ”

Zhao Gou muttered to himself, and ordered everyone to gather in the tent to discuss the plan again. All the generals came one after another, basically standing, Zhao Gou told all the information he had gotten, and told the results of his analysis, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, what do you think of this matter? ”

Song Jiang replied: "Marshal, we still need to think about this matter in the long run, and rashly sending troops will only increase casualties, and it will be resisted by the local people, which is not good for us." ”

"I think so too!" Zhao Gou nodded, looked at Wu Yong, and asked, "Strategist, what should you do in your opinion?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "Marshal, my subordinates think that this battle must be invincible, and they should be outwitted. ”

Zhao Gou was curious: "Outwitted? How to outwit? ”

Wu Yong said: "Sun Tzu said: The law of the husband and the soldier, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. ”

"Therefore, the first army is to attack and plot, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. The method of siege is a last resort. Repair the oar, with equipment, three months and then become, distance from the trench, and then three months and then be. The one who will be overwhelmed by the anger and the ants will possess it, and the one who kills one-third of the soldiers and the city will not be pulled out, and this attack will also be a disaster. ”

"Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people instead of the war, the city of the people instead of the attack, the destruction of the country of the people instead of the long, will fight for the whole world, so the army will not stop, and the profit can be complete, this method of attacking is also."

Yue Fei answered: "Strategist, what kind of method are you, it's basically a military book, what's the use?" ”

Liu Qi also said: "Strategist, Peng Ju is right, what we want now is the method, not the art of war, what's the use of telling us this?" ”

Zhao Gou muttered to himself: "Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be divided, the enemy can fight, if it is less, it can escape, and if it is not, it can be avoided." Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. ”

Wu glanced at everyone with a smile and said nothing, then looked at Zhao Gou, listened to him recite the following words, and praised: "It is worthy of being a marshal, and this is exactly what his subordinates mean!" ”

Wang Gui was puzzled: "Strategist, what do you mean by this, you have confused me." ”

Lu Junyi said in a deep voice: "What does the military advisor mean, let me be real and virtual, and attack the heart first?" ”

Wu Yong nodded and said: "At this time, the strength of our army is far inferior to that of Fang Layi's army, and he has been praised by the local people, simply put, the people trust them, more than us." If we send troops to attack, it is expected that Fang La will not need to do anything, and the people will take the initiative to come to help, and then we will be attacked by the enemy. ”

"The only way to do this now is to besiege but not attack, cut off the enemy's food and grass and follow-up supplies, and fight a protracted war. However, this method needs to occupy all the surrounding cities little by little, otherwise the enemy cities are connected and occupy the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and the grain and grass in these two places are sufficient, even if they fight a protracted war with us, they are not afraid. ”

"When our army cut off the enemy's grain and grass, and then attack the heart, rebel against the local people, let them contradict Fang La, and force Fang La to fight with our army. At this time, our army's combat effectiveness was sufficient, and the enemy's army was weak, so it was impossible to be invincible. In this way, we are afraid that we will have to spend the cold winter outside Hangzhou, and it will definitely be a protracted war. ”

Zhao Gou asked: "Then how can we form an encirclement situation, completely trap Fang La, isolate him, and leave him isolated?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "The marshal can mobilize the Yongxing Road Army, the Tai'an Army, Jiangning Mansion and other multi-route armies, completely surround the enemy army, form a situation of encirclement and suppression, and do his best." If we attack at the same time during the period, the enemy army will not have time to mobilize its troops, and it will be defeated, so we can eat away at Fang La's forces little by little, and then appease the people, and the soldiers in Fang La's base camp will also be shaken at that time. ”

"The reason why the Fang La army was invincible was that it received the response of the local people, and other forces joined in, allowing them to travel unhindered along the way. When these people begin to rely on the imperial court and believe in our army, it will be much simpler for us to attack Fangla again. ”

Zhao thought about it, clapped his hands and praised: "This plan is very good, just follow the advice of the military advisor, we can set off for Hangzhou, no longer delay on the road, and march in a hurry." Then, join up with the Tai'an army, and then we can work together to encircle and suppress Fang La, so that he will not escape. ”

So, Zhao Gou passed on the military order, and wrote a letter in his own hand, ordering people to go to various armies to convey his command. Moreover, let them wait for themselves to join the Tai'an army, and then launch an order to attack together, not to attack rashly so as not to be discovered by the Fangla rebels, and take precautions in advance, and then they will fall short.
