Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

But in many cases, the two prerequisites of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent are not so easy to achieve, either they are fooled by the enemy and get false information, or their understanding of their own strength is not very realistic.

Xin Xi obviously knows his own strength very well, judging from the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Forbidden Army, it basically belongs to the level of the rabble, perhaps, it can be a little more powerful than the rabble?!

As for the point of knowing the other, since Xin Xi officially received the order, he has already arranged for the Shadow Guard Army to investigate.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and then making corresponding adjustments is the basis for victory in war.

Originally, at the beginning, Xin Xi didn't take Dali very seriously, but thought that at most 150,000 troops, just push it sideways, but unexpectedly, now in the process of attacking Dali, 180,000 soldiers have been lost!

180,000!

O 180,000 living people!

Even if you don't mention the compassion in your heart, just the pension and other expenses caused by the death of these 180,000 people, the Great Song Dynasty finally relaxed the treasury a little bit, and it seems that he has to start tightening his belt again.

Xin Zhen frowned, a little helpless, this Emperor of the Zhao family is not a reassuring master.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xin Yi walked in slowly, saying, "Eleven Lang, I'm going to Yizhou soon!" ”

"Yes!" Xin Xi nodded slowly, in order to save the little money and food left in the treasury, the 100,000 army commanded by Xin Xi was not selected from the forbidden army in the capital, after all, if the 100,000 army ran from the capital to Dali, along the way, the money and food consumed by people eating horses and chewing would be an astronomical amount.

As a result, the Shuzhong forbidden army was transferred to 100,000 and waited for Xin Xi in Yizhou.

Xin Yi frowned slightly, and said: "The 100,000 forbidden troops drawn from Shuzhong are unwilling to go out, saying that they have been marching from the south since ancient times, except for Zhuge Kongming, they are all dead and lifeless, plus the 80,000 mourners of Wang Shiyue before, and Yang Huaixing's 100,000 mourners, these forbidden troops in Shuzhong are now clamoring to go home." ”

"In the long run, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny in the army!" Xin Yi opened his mouth worriedly.

When Xin Xi heard this, he was slightly stunned, thinking that he had won the War of the Three Kingdoms and had become the commander, and he would immediately be sought after by all the soldiers.

And as a result, that's how it was?!

It seems that if you want to become the god of war in the minds of the people, you can't do it in one or two victories.

Shaking his head slightly, Xin Xi asked with a smile: "They said that since Zhuge Kongming, the Southern Expedition has been dead and lifeless?!" ”

"Yes!" Xin Yi replied, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Xin Yi's question.

Xin Xi laughed and said, "Is there a Wuhou Temple in Yizhou?!" ”

"Yes!" Xin Yi was a little confused, he didn't understand what Wuhou Temple had to do with this, could it be that Eleven Lang planned to sweep away obscenity? But Wuhou Temple is not obscene.

If the Wuhou Temple is really moved, I am afraid that it will immediately lead to a mutiny in the army!

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Prepare consistent money, copper money, and then ......"

As Xin Zhen's words progressed, a touch of horror slowly appeared in Xin's eyes, it turned out that it could still be like this?!

Xin Xi smiled: "Go, prepare the things that need to be prepared, tomorrow, we will go into Yizhou City to have a look." ”

"Whoa!" Xin Yi respectfully agreed.

Xin Xi slowly walked out of the door, since these people have superstitions about Zhuge Liang, then, can they directly use their superstitions about Zhuge Liang to transfer to my superstitions soon?!

Thinking so, the corners of Xin Zhen's mouth smiled slightly.

The next day, around noon, outside the city of Yizhou, 100,000 troops gathered here.

"What should I do, it is said that the new commander of the Annan Army is about to arrive today, if we do this again and don't do something, I'm afraid we will go to Nanzhao to die." Some soldiers muttered.

"What Nanzhao, now it's called Dali Kingdom!"

"Isn't that the same, except for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, no one can hit that place, even in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance was such a fierce person, didn't he retreat after handing over thousands of lives?"

"So what do you think we're going to do now?!"

"Don't make trouble, the commander will tell us in the morning, after the arrival of Naxin Eleven, we will refuse to obey the order, do we not go out of the city, the so-called law does not blame the public, do you know?!"

"Eh, wait, this Xin Shiyi, could it be that Xin Shiyi?!"

"What do you say, how many Xin Eleven are there in this world?!"

"Since it's that Xin Shiyi's words, it's the first time to face the great benefits of Fanbang's victory, maybe, he can really enter Nanzhao like Prime Minister Zhuge did?!"

"I told you, now it's not called Nanzhao, it's called Dali!"

"Okay, okay, aren't they all the same? You say, will Xin Shiyi Lang be the reincarnation of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, after all, this Xin Shiyi Lang is extremely smart, and he can also fight well! ”

"How is that possible...... Prime Minister Zhuge will also be reincarnated in Shu, after all, Cheng is a native of Shu for many years! ”

"Shuzhong? How do I remember that the prime minister is from Nanyang?! ”

"Pull the calf!"

Suddenly, a muffled horn sounded, and the entire barracks fell silent.

In the distance, a carriage slowly stopped, and Xin Xi stepped out of the carriage.

On the school field, the ten commanders of the Shuzhong Forbidden Army quickly greeted him: "I've seen Xin Shuai!" ”

"Excuse me!" Xin Xi smiled and nodded, and strode towards the school field, while the ten commanders followed Xin Xi.

Xin Xi strode forward and asked, "I heard that the forbidden army in Shuzhong is reluctant to fight, but is there such a thing?!" ”

The commander closest to Xin Xi quickly stepped forward, and then while maintaining the walking speed that could keep up with Xin Xi, he said respectfully: "They are all fools, and they can only see the incident of Wuhou's capture of Meng Shu back then, so they think that without Wuhou, they can't beat the Southern Barbarians, so they refuse to fight." ”

"The army's spirit is unstable!" Xin Xi let out a long sigh and turned to look at the neatly arranged Great Song Forbidden Army on the right.

"How do you think you should rein in the hearts of the army?!" Xin Xi opened his mouth indifferently, and the question hit the nail on the head.

The ten commanders were all slightly stunned and fell silent.

After a long time, a commander quickly stepped forward and said: "The forbidden army in Shuzhong thinks that they have been blessed by the Marquis of Wu for five hundred years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to dispatch, why don't Xin Shuai ask the court to transfer troops?" ”

Xin Xi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the commander, and asked, "Your Excellency, what do you call it?" ”

The commander paused slightly, and said, "The last general, Jiang Lei!" ”

"Jiang Lei, is it?!" Xin Zhen smiled: "Could it be that Your Excellency is actually a descendant of Jiang Boyu?!" ”

Jiang Lei paused slightly, but licked his face and said: "It's a shame to say that Jiang Weiboyo is indeed the second ancestor recorded in a certain family tree!" ”

Xin Xi's eyes were slightly cold: "In this way, Your Excellency is still Kong Ming's next-generation disciple?" Can you know how to borrow the east wind?! ”

Jiang Wei Jiang Boyo is a disciple of Zhuge Kongming, so Jiang Wei's descendants can naturally be regarded as Zhuge Liang's next-generation disciples!

Jiang Lei was slightly stunned, but his eyes flashed rapidly, and his heart suddenly became bottomless, could it be that Xin Shiyi knew something?

Otherwise, this is good, ask what will you borrow the technique of the east wind?!

"The last will not!" Jiang Lei spoke slowly, but his eyes looked at Xin Xi without blinking, trying to see something from Xin Xi's expression.

Xin Xi smiled slightly: "That's a pity, but it doesn't seem to be a pity, after all, it's not a red cliff, and it's useless to ask for the east wind!" ”

"The last will be convicted!" Jiang Lei knelt straight down, his legs trembling.

He understood, the so-called asking him if he would borrow the east wind, it was a beating, if he couldn't understand too much at first, combined with this sentence 'It's not a red cliff, it's useless to ask for the east wind', he understood.

Why did he borrow the east wind, Kong Ming borrowed the east wind to prevent Cao Wei from going south and prevent Cao Wei from unifying the world.

At this time, if a simple substitution is carried out, that is, Xin Xi, like Cao Wei at that time, was ready to go south, and asked him if he would borrow the east wind, in fact, he already knew that he was making a hindrance to prevent the south.

How to stop it, of course, is those rumors in the army, and the plan to contact early in the morning and not listen to orders.

"What's the crime?!" Xin Zhen's face was cold.

Jiang Lei was sweating profusely, he couldn't tell what he did in front of everyone, right?!

Xin Xi still strode forward, but the other nine commanders were Jiang Lei, who knelt in place, and then followed Xin Xi forward.

After taking two steps, Xin Xi turned his head, looked at Jiang Lei who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "From today onwards, Jiang Lei has been reduced to three levels of official rank and demoted to battalion commander!" ”

"Xin Shuai is merciful!" Jiang Lei's face was pale, if he had changed to someone else and knew his small movements, he might not have cut off the official, but cut his head directly behind his back!

Knowing this moment, Jiang Lei felt that he was really confused!

The Xuanfu envoy in Shuzhong is vacant, and he plans to squeeze out Xin Shiyi, and then he will clean up the army's heart, and then win this military merit in attacking Dali, and then he can directly sit in the position of the Xuanfu envoy in Shuzhong.

But now......

But immediately, a boundless hatred erupted in Jiang Lei's eyes.

In that case, let's break the net!

Thinking like this, after he passed down a gesture, the plan that had been arranged long ago began to be implemented in an orderly manner.

Standing on the high platform, Xin Xi looked up.

There was a sudden extra figure beside him, it was Xin Yi.

"What?!" Xin Zhen asked.

Xin Yi said lightly: "Then Jiang Lei, didn't stop!" ”

"Oh." Xin Zhen shook his head slightly, and said, "Then kill him, and then, according to our original plan, is the copper coin ready?!" ”

"Ready!" Xin Yi replied indifferently.

Xin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Then get rid of Jiang Lei first!" ”

"Whoa!"

Waiting for Xin Yi to leave, Xin Zhen shook his head slightly, at the beginning, he was ready to use the people's superstition of Zhuge Liang to achieve the people's superstition about himself.

But in the end, it suddenly occurred to me that Zhuge Liang had been dead for seven or eight hundred years, and there were so many hardcore fans, which seemed a little abnormal.

So, he asked the Shadow Guards to investigate, and it turned out that he really found something strange, and figured out that behind all this, Jiang Lei was doing it.

So, there was a previous beating.

It's a pity that even after beating like that, this Jiang Lei still didn't wake up, and sure enough, it was basically impossible for the prodigal son to turn back.

Sighing slightly, he strode towards the front of the high platform, and Xin Xi also changed his wording, and said, "Everyone, a certain is Xinxi!" ”

"I heard that there is a saying circulating in the army, saying that except for Wuhou Kong Ming, anyone who enters the boundary where the Southern Barbarians are located will die and have no life!" Xin Zhen roared.

I have to admit that his remarks completely attracted the attention of the whole army.

Xin Xi continued: "I also believe this, after all, just half a month ago, there was a Wang Shi about 80,000 mourners, and then Yang Huaixing lost 100,000 teachers, I dare not believe it!" ”

"Then withdraw the troops!"

"Xin Shiyi, go back to your Bianliang."

"Withdraw! Withdrawal! ”

Off the field, the 100,000-strong army howled like a tsunami.

Xin Xi smiled slightly, suddenly pulled out the sword blade in his hand, and said, "Withdraw the army?!" No way. ”

As soon as the words changed, when the forbidden soldiers were stunned, Xin Xi suddenly spoke: "Where Xin is, the Great Song Dynasty must not be humiliated, and now, the Dali barbarians have killed my 180,000 forbidden army brothers in the Great Song Dynasty, do I still want to go home in disgrace?!" ”

"It can't be!"

"I once served as the commander of the Western Military Power, and I said that every inch of land must be fought for, and every people must be saved. So, today, I will repeat the famous sentence of the Han Chen Tang of the year. ”

"Anyone who dares to offend my Great Song Tianwei will be punished even if he is far away!"

The blood was boiling, even the nine old fritters were all in command, and they couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic.

Xin Zhen then spoke: "Zhuge Wuhou is a person whom Xin admires the most, presumably, Wuhou will also feel that Chen Tang's words are reasonable. That being the case, today, you will follow me to the Wuhou Temple on the outskirts of the city, and ask Zhuge Wuhou to determine whether we should go south or withdraw our troops! ”

Saying that, Xin Xi took the lead and walked towards the Wuhou Temple on the outskirts of the city, and the 100,000 army moved when he heard the wind.

Under the dust and smoke, the Wuhou Temple, which is only five miles away, has arrived.

Xin Xi quickly stepped forward and beckoned, and saw a shadow guard walking over with his usual copper coins.

Xin Xi first bowed to Zhuge Liang in the Wuhou Temple, put on the incense, and then took the consistent copper coin, and said: "Today, I will use this copper coin as a divination." If Wuhou thinks that this southward march will win, then all the 1,300 copper coins will be face up! But if there is a copper coin that is not facing upwards, Xin will withdraw his troops, and this will roll back to Bianjing! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers, officers, and even the logistics personnel were all stunned, and all the 1,300 copper coins were facing upwards?

How is this possible?!

"It can't be!" In the middle of the shade outside the Wuhou Temple, Jiang Lei, who knelt on the ground and looked haggard and embarrassed, yelled.

Xin Yi smiled slightly: "For Eleven Lang, it is never impossible!" ”
