Chapter 3: On Guerrilla Again
Within a few days, the entire territory of Chen surrendered one after another, and the county governors had their own thoughts, some of them had long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's rule, some had long been yearning for the north, and some had already been frightened. Liu Tong didn't care what the county commanders and county lieutenants thought, everywhere he went, he was half of the soldiers who were reorganized, leaving half of the city to defend the city, and he himself was constantly going to Runan and Ruyin.
The name of the champion Hou Liu Tong began to circulate in Yuzhou, whether it was notoriety or prestige, as long as he heard that the champion Hou arrived, the surrender of the surrender, and the escape of the escape.
On this day, Liu Tong led a large army to the vicinity of Lishan Mountain, that is, Huoshan County in Anhui Province in later generations, and Chen Gong invited Wuqiu Jian to set up camp.
In the big tent of Wuqiu Jian, Chen Gongyan said: "Marshal, in recent days, General Xian Yufu has broken through the Liang State, killed Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun and others, there is no large number of enemy troops in the north of Yuzhou, but there are tens of thousands of Yuan Shu rebel generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan in this mountain, if our army ignores it, it is always a hidden danger to stay in the rear, and this thief has to be removed!" ”
Wu Qiu Jian looked at Liu Tong, Liu Tong nodded and said: "Now that General Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, and Wu Anguo have been drawn from Xuzhou and marched to Shouchun, Sun Quan does not dare to rush north, our army should cut off Lei Bo and Chen Lan before attacking Runan, as for Ruyin, you can inform General Xian Yufu and let him capture it." Lei Bo and Chen Lan can't stay, and now the cities in the north of Yuzhou are empty, if they take advantage of the weakness to enter, our army's gains outweigh the losses. ”
However, it was said that Lei Bo, Chen Lan and his subordinates Lei Xu and Mei Cheng were originally Yuan Shu's subordinates, but because they were dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's harsh government, after an army mutiny, they led their troops to plunder Songshan Mountain first, and then went to Lishan Mountain.
Yuan Shu retreated to Shouchun at the end of his journey, and wanted to go to Lishan to defect to the previous subordinates Lei Bo and Chen Lan, but the two rejected Yuan Shu and only kept him for three days. Yuan Warlock was starved of food, so he retreated to Jiangting.
At that time, there were only 30 wheat crumbs in the army, and it was the middle of summer in June, and Yuan Shu wanted to drink honey syrup to quench his thirst, but there was no honey syrup. Yuan Shu sighed for a long time and said loudly: "How could Yuan Shu come to this point!" In the end, he vomited blood and died.
is the so-called: rape and vain boasting of the national seal, arrogant and arrogant should be Tianxiang; I was thirsty for honey and had no reason to get it, so I lay alone in an empty bed and vomited blood.
On this day, Lei Bo and Chen Lan heard that Liu Tong and Wuqiu Jian's army passed through the periphery of Lishan, thinking that they were just passing by, and they didn't think that the spies would come to report, and the 100,000 army turned to Lishan after resting.
Chen Lan suggested that the whole army retreat to Tianzhu Mountain, which is more than 20 miles high, the road is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Lei Bo thinks that Tianzhu Mountain is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a shortage of food in the army, if the army is besieged on Tianzhu Mountain, the enemy army is besieged but not attacked, the mountain lacks food and water, the enemy army cannot attack, and it is difficult for him to go down the mountain, won't it become a prison cage besieging himself? In the end, it was agreed to divide the troops, with Chen Lan and Mei Cheng going up to Tianzhu Mountain, and they were stationed at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain with Lei Xu, and they were horns for each other.
After Liu Tong led the army to arrive, he saw that Lei Bo camped in a very orderly manner, so he suggested that Wuqiu Jian also set up camp and did not rush to attack. Cautiously, a large number of scouts were arranged to scout the surrounding situation.
Liu Tong took Wu Qiu Jian and Chen Gong to survey the terrain. Along the way, Liu Tong saw that there were countless peaks in Tianzhu Mountain, all of which were composed of mixed granite and were divided by numerous canyons. A main peak can be seen in the distance, which should be 14500 meters above sea level, located in the hinterland. Based on his memory, Liu Tong judged that Tianzhu Mountain should belong to the Dabie Mountain Range. Thinking of Dabie Mountain, Liu Tong immediately thought of Liu Deng's army, and couldn't help but think of fighting guerrillas.
"I didn't expect Lei Bo and Chen Lan to still be the ancestors of guerrillas."
Liu Tong said with a smile, Chen Gong was confused after hearing this, what is guerrilla? Chen Gong knew that Liu Tong often spoke grotesquely, and he was embarrassed to ask, so he looked at Liu Tong strangely.
Liu Tong said with a smile: "Gongtai Gong, Lei Bo and Chen Lan have rebelled against Yuan Shu for a long time, why didn't Yuan Shu exterminate them?" ”
Wu Qiu Jian rushed to say: "Yuan Shu is overwhelmed, how can he have the energy to exterminate him." ”
“NO,NO。”
Liu Tong shook his head and said, "With Yuan Shu's mind, if someone rebels, he will send troops to exterminate him if he smashes the pot and sells iron, not because he is unwilling, but because he can't!" Look at this mountain, the terrain is complicated, and the ravines are clustered, with Yuan Shu's previous strength, they can't be helpless at all. If there is a first-class guerrilla warfare ideology as a guide, Yuan Shu will devote all his troops, and he may not be able to exterminate Lei Bo and Chen Lan! ”
Chen Gong is confused again, who is ***? What is the idea of guerrilla warfare? "Childe, what about our army?"
Liu Tong took Chen Gong by the hand, and after Chen Gong went up the dirt slope, he said: "Lei Bo and Chen Lan don't understand guerrilla warfare after all, and it is not difficult for me, a person who has grown up with the ideology of guerrilla warfare, to defeat them. ”
Chen Gong still couldn't help but ask: "What is guerrilla warfare in Gongzi?" ”
Liu Tong climbed high and looked far away, and was also interested, and said: "Gongtai Gong, if I were Lei Bo and Chen Lan, if you lead troops to suppress me, you will not be able to defeat me." ”
"Why?" Wu Qiu Jian asked unconvinced.
Liu Tong smiled and said: "First of all, you are not as familiar with the terrain as I am, and your army is not as familiar with mountain warfare as my army. If your army is small, I'll engage you with cameras and try to get you casualties. If your army is large in number and comes to attack, I will hide, run around the mountains with you, find favorable terrain, and occasionally hit you. If you are tired, or rested, I will harass you, and if you retreat, I will pursue you. You have come from afar, and the supply of grain, grass, and baggage is difficult, and you cannot afford to consume it. ”
After hearing this, Chen Gong buried his head in deep thought, and Liu Tong continued: "In short, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase, and the odds of victory in guerrilla warfare; Advance and retreat in great strides, lure the enemy deep, concentrate forces, break through each one, and annihilate the enemy in a mobile war. ”
After hearing this, Chen Gong was fiercely afraid of hitting his thigh, "Miao Ce! Liu Tong laughed after hearing this, of course, thinking about Taizu back then, tens of thousands of millet plus rifles, and Lao Jiang's hundreds of thousands of regular army aircraft and artillery couldn't help it!
"Oops, fortunately, Lei Bo and Chen Lan don't understand guerrilla warfare! Otherwise, our army will be in vain. Wu Qiu was frugal and said happily, "Dahe, what should our army do next?" ”
Liu Tong beckoned the two of them to sit down, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "At first, I didn't know the terrain, but now it seems that we should take advantage of Lei Bo to make a fool, we can't let him enter the mountain, if he is allowed to enter the mountain, it will be difficult to find him for a decisive battle." First of all, we should immediately surround the Lei Bobu and annihilate it in one fell swoop. Chen Lan thought that the separate garrisons were each other's horns, but in fact, the two armies were far apart, and it took him a long time to go down the mountain. If we attack Lei Bo and Chen Lan descends the mountain, not only will we not be able to form a flank attack on our army, but will provide us with a good opportunity to encircle and annihilate it at the bottom of the mountain, which will add fuel to the fire of the stove. ”
Liu Tong picked up a thin stick on the ground and drew it on the ground. "Tomorrow, the second uncle, you and Brother Zijing will surround Lei Bo, deploy heavy troops on the side of the mountain, and General Gao Shun will be invincible in the nine battalions on foot, so that he will ambush under Tianzhu Peak, and let Chen Lan go down the mountain to flank our army. Gao Shun only needs to hold the passage into the mountain, and when the two armies are deadlocked, he will be completely annihilated with the momentum of thunder! ”
Liu Tong drew while talking, and after finishing speaking, he threw away the thin stick and said with a smile: "Lei Bo and Chen Lan still don't know the soldiers, our army is more than 100,000, and they are less than 40,000 horses, so stupid as to divide the troops to defend the mountain, if they divide the troops to guard the mountain, it will be just a matter of letting Lei Bo guard at the foot of the mountain!" ”
When Chen Gong heard this, he also laughed. Chen Gong originally had a similar strategy, but he never thought that Liu Tong's analysis would be more prepared and organized, and the deployment would be more targeted. It's all under control.
What's even more terrifying is that if you go to a different place and let Liu Tong defend it, you will be absolutely invincible, and Chen Gong has a deafening feeling about the guerrilla warfare that Liu Tong said. The feeling of Liu Tong in my heart can no longer be described as admiration.
Liu Tong's tactics were also drawn after surveying the terrain, and now that the tactics were clear, Liu Tong was in a good mood, and when he was interested, he took the two of them to avoid the main peak and go to other peaks. I saw that the cliffs were steep everywhere, the strange rocks were craggy, and the momentum was magnificent. It's a worthwhile trip.
