Chapter 41: Layout
Dao, Heaven, Earth, General, Law.
It is the five things about mercenaries in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and they are also the five important parts of the temple calculation that must be carried out before the two countries went to war in the pre-Qin period.
The Tao is politics, or whether to support this war politically, the sky is the time, the earth is the geographical advantage, the generals of both sides will be the generals, and the law is the discipline in the army.
No matter how you look at it, if you calculate the temple according to the five things of Sun Tzu's Art of War, it seems that Dali and the Great Song Dynasty are in a situation of eight catties and eight taels at all, and there is no difference between victory and defeat.
Therefore, the next step is to use subjective initiative, that is, there are no conditions, and conditions must be created to go up!
Slowly walking through the Prancing Horse slope with the smell of bacon, Xin Xi began to think about the next tactics.
The forbidden army in Shuzhong is not good at fighting, this is an established fact, then the only thing that can be counted on is in Ning'an City, there are still 20,000 forbidden troops left, although the 20,000 forbidden troops are not elite, but after a hard battle of 80,000 soldiers, even if they are recruits, they should evolve into veterans in blood and fire.
Then, the first thing is to relieve Ning'an's predicament!
But the problem came again, outside the city of Ning'an, but there were 80,000 Dali troops besieging it, it was originally a small city, about three miles square, and it was difficult to ......
Moreover, Yang Huaixing's experience has only passed for a long time!
If he is surrounded by reinforcements again, he will probably be swept away by Zhao Shu to the end, and the Shadow Guard Army and the Xin family will be in danger!
The consequences are too severe.
Frowning, Xin Zhen looked behind him on his horse, and said to Xin Yiyi: "Pass the order, after the whole army crosses the Leaping Horse Slope, camp on the spot, and officials above the fourth grade will come to the Chinese army's tent to listen to the order!" ”
"Whoa!" Xin clenched his fists and drove his horse forward, while another Shadow Guard rushed towards the rear.
It would be nice if there was a radio, and it wouldn't be so good that you would have to run before and after for half a day.
It's just that the radio thing is super black technology in this era, and the technology tree can't be clicked there for a while, even if it really goes there, it will probably waste human imagination, resulting in the difficulty of scientific and technological progress, so you still have to rely on the enlightenment education of the Gewu Academy!
Let the elites of the Great Song Dynasty spontaneously think and create, that is the best situation for the source of living water!
After the 100,000 troops walked out of the Prancing Horse Slope, the slopes on both sides of the Prancing Horse Slope had become bare, leaving only black weeds and ashes covering the ground, and in the black ashes, there was a wooden pole that was burned bare and black, which was the last relic of the bushes.
Camping in the open area of the plain, although this is a bit inconsistent with the rules of marching and camping in the Central Plains, but in this Dali country with countless mountains and forests, it is the best choice, at least, there is no need to worry about being infiltrated by those barbarian gods unknowingly.
After the camp was completed, a group of people wearing officer clothes walked towards the Chinese army's tent in an endless stream.
Moments later, the meeting officially began.
Xin Xi slowly laid out the map and said: "Now, Dali has sent 80,000 troops to besiege Ning'an City, and set up ambushes all the way, what do you think is the best strategy now?!" ”
Everyone suddenly fell into deep thought, staring at the map one by one, and carefully studied it.
Xin Zhen was speechless, these guys hadn't studied the problems faced by the army at all?!
Grass, it's better to be in the Western Army, at least, those generals in the Western Army will all understand the situation facing the army in private, and even, as soon as the meeting starts, at least seven or eight people will immediately jump out to make suggestions.
Even if Xin Xi didn't use most of those suggestions, it would still be difficult for Xin Xi to determine the final tactics without those suggestions.
After all, ideas need to collide!
Only collisions can generate sparks and give birth to new ideas!
But what are these things in front of you?!
This is special, it must be Zhao Shu's guy, after not using himself as the commander of the Annan Army in the first two times and causing failure, he deliberately gave him this waste wood-like Shuzhong forbidden army, so when the time comes, if Xin Shu is also defeated, Zhao Shu can say, look, the reason why I don't use him is because I know that he can't win!
In this way, Zhao Shu will face much less pressure from public opinion.
Xin Xi frowned slightly, and then slapped on the table, and after a muffled "bang", Xin Xi slowly swept over the silent generals around him, and said: "Wait for you for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, if you can't think of a way, you will all cut the officials by one level!" ”
This......
The officers present all looked at each other, a little incredible, but in the next second, they all put away the surprise in their hearts, and directly studied the map carefully like obedient students.
After all, they have heard of Xin Shiyi's name, not to mention Lu Xu, who was cut down by Xin Shiyi on the spot a few months ago, let's just say Jiang Lei, who inexplicably evaporated a few days ago.
In addition to making up for their brains, they also felt more and more that there was no need to provoke Xin Shiyi.
It can be said that from the very beginning of being in charge of the army, Xin Xi has created a sweet fragrance of a dictator for himself.
But dictatorship has its advantages and disadvantages.
But as it stands, the pros outweigh the disadvantages!
Time passes slowly.
Xin Xi clapped his hands: "A quarter of an hour is here, tell me what you can do?" ”
No one answered.
Xin Xi looked around, looked at a fat-headed and big-eared commander, and asked, "Commander Liu Du, do you have any solution?!" ”
The commander was slightly stunned, sweating profusely, and after a while, he spoke: "The last general...... The last general was stupid and did not come up with a solution. ”
"Good!" Xin Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Jintang, from today onwards, you will be the commander of the Xiang!" ”
"This, Xin Shuai, isn't it a first-level cut?" Liu Jintang's face was full of horror.
If you cut the official by one level, he should be the deputy commander of the capital, which is directly to the commander of the box, but it has been cut by two levels!
Xin Xi swept Liu Jintang coldly: "As a commander, I can't think of a way, and the crime will be added to the first!" ”
"This ......"
"What? You're not convinced?! Xin Zhen drank low.
At the same time, Xin Yi leaned forward slowly, and his right hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
According to legend, Lu Xu's head was cut off by this female shadow guard in the military tent!
Liu Jintang's neck shrank slightly: "The last general will not dare!" ”
"It's good if you don't dare!" Xin Xi nodded lightly, then looked at the other commander and asked, "Commander Zhang, what about you?!" ”
The commander surnamed Zhang only felt a chill on his back, his legs and stomach trembled slightly, and he hurriedly spoke: "Fire ...... Fire Attack! ”
Well, fire attack?!
Xin Zhen was slightly interested, and then asked, "What kind of fire attack method?" ”
The commander surnamed Zhang was slightly stunned, sweating profusely, and then said indiscriminately: "That, aren't all the Dali troops gathered outside Ning'an City, there are mountains and forests outside Ning'an City, we can ...... You can burn down the mountains and forests with a fire, and then, then, you can avoid the possibility of being ambushed, and even avoid these satisfactions from escaping from the mountains and forests......"
Xin Zhen's face was a little embarrassed, God is so hot, are you kidding Lao Tzu?!
But after thinking about it, maybe he was too indifferent, which made these guys' heads rusty, just like when he used to go to school, when he met a kind teacher, he could speak like a river, but when he met the head teacher with a straight face, he couldn't say anything.
So, he decided to temper the atmosphere.
So, Xin Xi suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Well, you have to think about it, then, Zhou Du commanded the envoy, what about you?!" ”
Hearing Xin Xi's words, Liu Jintang, who had been cut by two levels of official rank before, almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, this is also fucking nonsense? If he had known this, he should have said a way to do it!
The commander surnamed Zhou clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "The last general is just the opposite of Zhang Du's commander, and the last general thinks that he should attack with water!" ”
Water Attack?!
Xin Xi motioned for him to continue.
Zhou Du commanded the envoy for a slight pause, and then said: "Divert the water of Erhai Sea and pour Ning'an, then the Dali army outside the city will feed all the fish!" ”
Xin Xi was stunned, this ...... Erhai sea poured into Ning'an?
He squinted at the map, Ning'an's altitude seems to be nearly fifty meters higher than Erhai, this is special, you poured one for Lao Tzu to see?!
"How do you pour it?" Xin Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked indifferently.
"This ...... The last general will not know. ”
"I don't know?!" Xin Xi smiled: "Give you a hundred breaths of time, if you can't say it, you can go to the Huotou Army to be a small soldier!" ”
The surname Zhou commanded that there was no more blood on his face, and he thought about it carefully, and after a while, he spoke: "That, didn't Xin Shuai invent the method of the mountain dragon, let's wait, maybe we can use the mountain dragon to ...... the water in the Erhai Lake." Draw out...... Pull it out and drown the people of Dali......"
As he spoke, the surname Zhou commanded the whole face to cry and be paralyzed, and the construction of the mountain dragon was not less than a month. And then, a few pumped water, drowned the people of Dali?!
He himself thinks how can he be so stupid?!
Xin Zhen smiled: "Lao Tzu doesn't embarrass you, you either go to the head soldier to be a small soldier, or, you walk back to Yizhou alone, and you can continue to be your commander!" ”
"Well, which path do you choose?!" Xin Zhen said indifferently.
Now that the army is located, it has actually reached the territory of Dali, if this guy really has the courage to go back alone, and he really returns to Yizhou alive, it is nothing for him to keep his official position!
This......
The surname Zhou commanded that his complexion changed again and again, and finally said with a sad face: "The last general, no, the villain is willing to join the Huotou Army as a small soldier." ”
He thought about it for a long time, and if he crossed this road alone, the probability of dying was as high as eighty percent!
He doesn't want to die!
Xin Zhen was speechless, this is the consequence of the long period of peace, on weekdays, one by one they jumped to fight on the battlefield, but when they really arrived on the battlefield, they were worse than pigs!
Sighing slightly, Xin Xi turned his head to look at Liu Jintang: "Liu Jintang, what about you, are you willing to go to the Huotou Army as a small soldier, or do you plan to walk back to Yizhou by yourself?" ”
Liu Jintang's face was full of confusion: "Xin Shuai, isn't it two levels of official reduction, why are you ......?"
Xin Xi waved his hand impatiently: "Lao Tzu asks you, you just need to answer!" ”
Liu Jintang hesitated, he is not like the surname Zhou, he has the family behind him to support, even if he really becomes a small soldier, it is not difficult to climb back to the position of the commander of the capital when he turns back.
If he goes down, he won't have a chance to climb up again in his life!
Isn't it death?
"People can't die but birds rise to the sky, but if they don't die, they will eventually come out!" With a shout, Liu Jintang got up and said, "The last general is willing to walk back to Yizhou alone!" ”
Xin Zhen's eyes lit up slightly, and there was finally such a bloody guy: "Okay, you can start immediately!" ”
Liu Jintang hugged his fists and saluted with an unwilling face: "Oh! ”
When Liu Jintang left, Xin Xi slowly swept over the people in the room, and everyone who was seen by him couldn't help but shrink their necks slightly, for fear that they would become the next guy to be nominated, so when the time comes, maybe there will be one more newcomer in the Huotou Army.
Xin Xi shook his head and said: "Don't be embarrassed to wait, Dali has 100,000 troops, but since the war has started, it may not be possible to increase the troops, so let's take Dali as an army of 150,000." ”
"Since there are 150,000 troops, now that Dali has deployed 80,000 troops in Ning'an, where are the other 70,000?" Xin Xi raised his head and slowly swept over everyone.
There was a slight disappointment in his heart, and he was even thinking about whether to design a trap to kill this group of corpse vegetarian guys, they died, so that the high-level of the Shuzhong Forbidden Army could introduce a batch of fresh blood!
Perhaps, the appearance of the forbidden army in Shuzhong will change somewhat, or not?
"Ben Shuai plans to divide the troops into three ways, one of which is to ......" Xin Xi looked around, but really didn't find a suitable candidate.
"One of the roads, with Zhang Du as the main general, leading 10,000 troops, and the remaining seven are all commanding the envoys as deputy generals, from Erhai, to the capital of Dali!"
"The second road, with Xin Yi as the commander, 30,000 handsome soldiers, go north out of the Prancing Horse Slope, go south by Junhe Bridge, and be on call at any time!"
"The third way is led by the commander and goes straight to Ning'an."
"The last general commands!" The crowd shouted loudly, as if to vent the pressure of being almost turned into a firehead.
Xin Xi smiled slightly, looked at the remaining eight commanders, and said coldly: "Your Excellency the eight commanders, if you can't appear under Dali City within ten days, come and see you!" ”
"This ...... Xin Shuai, 10,000 troops, not enough! ”
"Yes, on the Erhai Sea Bridge, there are hundreds of people in Dali, and on the opposite side of Erhai Lake, there is Nanling City, and there are thousands of people in the city! 10,000 people, not enough! ”
Xin Zhen frowned slightly, and then said: "Wait for another 10,000, a total of 20,000, within ten days, if you can't get to Dali City, you will come to see you!" ”
"This ......"
"Or, offer your heads now, and Ben Shuai will send someone else?"
"No, enough is enough, 20,000 is enough!"
"Why don't you go soon?!" Xin Zhen roared.
"The last will retire!" A sparse heap of resignations sounded, and the big tent was restored to cleanness.
At this time, Xin Zhen looked at Xin Yi: "If Liu Jintang can walk to Junhe Bridge alive, you will hand over the command to him, and then go to Ning'an to help me!" ”
"Whoa!" Xin Yi agreed, and then looked at Xin Yi suspiciously: "Can ...... Why? ”
