After thinking about it for a long time, Hao Jian didn't come up with a good idea.

The Tartars have as many as a thousand strikers alone this time, which is more than all their current forces combined. What's more, it is not known how many people will follow.

If you take this person with you to be tough with the Tartars, it is obviously unrealistic, and if you don't do it, the whole army will be wiped out, and your journey through the country may come to an end.

So can you not fight? Of course you can, but if you don't fight, then you can only sit back and watch the Tartars take Datong City in a good time, and then directly threaten themselves.

Obviously, if you don't fight, you can't do it, even if the Tartars don't attack themselves after capturing Datong, but they will be sealed in this gourd valley, so how can we talk about development?

It seems that it is still necessary to fight.

But how to fight in the end to have the greatest certainty, this is the question that Hao Jian has been thinking about hard.

Although he has now experienced the battle battle himself, and has also killed the Tartars and horse thieves with his own hands, there is a world of difference from the otaku who has been quiet for a long time.

But these are not enough for him to quickly become a qualified commander, not to mention the generals, which is not to mention the famous generals.

Speaking of which, he really has no experience in fighting, especially in the era of cold weapons, and of course, the experience in the game must not be counted.

After thinking about it, I still don't have a clue.

Seeing Hao Jian frowning and pondering, Liu Ji was also silent on the side, but his eyes were observing the young general, as if to see if he could withstand the storm this time.

Hao Jian couldn't think of it when he sat down, so he simply stood up and paced back and forth to think.

He told himself not to panic, to be calm. The brain is clearest when it is calm.

He suddenly remembered an analytical method of enterprise management that he had learned when he was at work: SWOT theory.

SWOT is a kind of enterprise competitive situation analysis method, is one of the basic analysis methods of marketing, through the evaluation of the company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the competitive market, in order to formulate the development strategy of the enterprise before the in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the enterprise and the positioning of competitive advantages.

To put it simply, it's about analyzing your strengths and weaknesses, and then the possible opportunities, as well as the threats you are currently facing.

In fact, this analysis method can be applied to business management, but also to personal development, career selection, and even mate selection and other things.

In that case, it is obvious that it can also be applied to the problem that I am currently considering.

Let's talk about the advantages first: their own advantages are obviously the existence of the system. Only with the existence of the system, as long as you meet enough money, enough honor points, and enough population, you can have a large number of trained real soldiers in a very short period of time, instead of requiring a long period of training to become an army as in reality. This is my biggest secret and my biggest advantage.

And what about the disadvantages? The biggest disadvantage is that his current strength is obviously insufficient, and he lacks command experience in major battles, the Tartars are prepared, the Datong defenders are weak and weak, and the imperial court has no reinforcements. And if you want to expand your army at present, you still need more population and more honor points. Money is enough.

Let's talk about the chance: the biggest chance is that the Tartars don't know about their existence at the moment. Although it is said that the Tartars suffered a loss in their own hands last time, they pretended to be the banner of the Ming army, so the Tartars didn't know themselves at all. And he knows the movements of the Tartars, which is an information gap. With this information gap, you can take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.

Let's talk about threats: in addition to the threat of the Tartars, I also have to consider whether the surrounding green forests and cottages, and even the Ming army will have a tacit understanding with them after the whole army attacks, as well as the horse thieves imprisoned in the valley, whether they will take the opportunity to cause chaos, which are all potential threats.

With such an analysis, Hao Jian's thoughts gradually became clear, and a general strategy was formed: expand advantages, reduce weaknesses, seize opportunities, and eliminate threats.

Extending further down this roughly, Hao Jian soon had a general countermeasure in his heart, and his expression became relaxed.

Seeing Hao Jian's expression change from solemn to relaxed, Liu Ji was surprised in his heart, and asked out loud: "Doesn't the general already have a strategy to defend against the enemy?" ”

Hao Jian smiled slightly: "It's just a gain, as for what effect it can have, it's still unknown." ”

Liu Ji looked at Hao Jian's confident appearance, and the doubts in his heart were even greater.

I was also thinking about a solution just now, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't have a suitable way, I didn't expect this young general to come up with a way so quickly, which made him rush to the point very incredible.

Hao Jian didn't say much, and shouted, "Someone." ”

The leopard boy and Yang Chuliu walked in quickly together and said, "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Pass my order, and the commanders of all teams will come to discuss the matter, except for the commanders of the cavalry. In addition, Leopard Boy, you invite Guan Hu and the village elders of your Tunzi to come over, I have something to discuss with them. Hao Jian instructed the two.

"Subordinates obey!" The two teenagers shouted their orders, turned around and left quickly.

Watching the two leave, Hao Jian paced back and forth a few more steps, turned his head and asked Liu Ji: "Military advisor, are you familiar with the mountains and rivers in the radius of Datong City?" ”

Liu Ji pondered for a while and then said: "In the past, when I traveled the world, I used to pay some attention to the dangerous terrain in various places, especially the frontier land in the Ming Dynasty. I drew all these terrains and compiled them into a book. Back then, I thought that if I had the opportunity to serve the country, I would be able to use it at that time, but I didn't expect that after many years, the albums would turn yellow, and I would be old and almost forgotten. If it weren't for the general's question today, I don't know how long I would have been able to hide it before I remembered it. ”

Hao Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, this old fox was really a treasure, and hurriedly said, "Great, military advisor, where is this map now?" ”

"Right where I live, I'm going to get the general to have a look."

Looking at Liu Ji's back, Hao Jian was even more excited. With the map, the choice of this battlefield will be much smoother, and I will not be like a blind person who has nowhere to start.

Soon Liu Ji took the atlas, and found one from it, spread it on the long case, and said: "General, please see, this is the map of the mountains and rivers near Datong." ”

In the past, he was accustomed to seeing the color printed maps of later generations, and then looked at the map hand-drawn by Liu Ji, Hao Jian suddenly had a feeling of looking at abstract paintings, and he was a little dizzy to see.

After pondering for a long time, I could barely see a clue.

"General, please see, this is Datong City, this is where our gourd valley is located, from now on about two hundred miles to the place, there is a hilly and mountainous area, the local people call it the wild boar slope. From the topographical point of view, the southwest is a plain, and after passing out of the mountain, there is no big river in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, and the whole mountain is only twenty or thirty miles, which belongs to the hills of the middle of the mountain and half the plain. “

Liu Ji looked at Hao Jian's appearance and explained with a slight smile.

"Is there anything special about this terrain? If you want to set up an ambush here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? Hao Jian asked puzzled.

"In the past, when I traveled the world, I walked through this mountain region myself. At the time, I didn't think there was anything special about it when I saw it at first glance. It wasn't until I crossed the mountain that I discovered what was so special about it. Liu Ji said with a smile.

"What's so special about it?"

"General, this hilly and mountainous area seems to be soothing, but in fact it is gentle on the outside and dangerous on the inside. The pass is a gentle hillside with wide avenues, but the further you go, the narrower and more winding it becomes, and the mountains on both sides are also raised, and the mountains are more rocky than the soil. So the forest is particularly dense. ”

"Sure enough, there is something special, but it is a good place to set up an ambush. But how can we be sure that the Tartars will go here? Hao Jian asked again.

"The general didn't know that the Tartars were going south from the north to attack Datong, and if they didn't want to go here, they would need to make a detour of at least more than 100 miles. And as far as I know, the Tartar cavalry passed through this place every time they hit the grass valley. And for many years, the defenders of Datong did not dare to appear in field battles at all, and the Tartars were not at all worried that the Ming army would set up an ambush again. Moreover, the terrain of this place is quite confusing, and for the Tartars who have never walked here, as long as the Tartar generals with a little vision will not think that this is a good place to set up an ambush. By the time they went deeper into the valley, it was too late. ”

Liu Ji smiled leisurely, his face was not without pride.

"The military advisor is really talented, in this case, let Ran Wu go to the field tomorrow to investigate again, if there is no accident, the battlefield for killing the Tartars will be set here." Hao Jian exclaimed excitedly.

Liu Ji, this old fox is really a treasure, this map simply solves a big problem.

"General, the battle pays attention to the right time and place, although the terrain is favorable, but we have insufficient troops, why should we confront the Tartars?" Liu Ji looked at Hao Jian's excitement, and didn't want to hit him, but he couldn't help but express his doubts.

"Strategist, don't worry. With this boar slope, our chances of winning this time are even greater. As for the lack of troops, I will definitely have reinforcements in three days. Hao Jian smiled and said confidently.

"Where's the reinforcements?" Liu Ji wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask.

This General Hao is mysteriously completely incomprehensible, there is always a steady stream of people and horses coming, isn't it that he is the prince of which country?

These doubts lingered in his heart, but he didn't ask them again. But he believed that one day he would know the truth.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside the conference hall, and it was the person who received Hao Jian's order to arrive.

After all the army commanders were seated, the leopard man helped Guan Hu get off the horse, and there was also an old man on horseback next to him, who was Guan Sanye, the village elder of Guanjiatun.

"The leopard man helped the Guan Hu brothers. Guan Sanye, you can slow down. Hao Jian greeted him with a smile.
