Chapter 23: Zhou Zeng'er Visits the Grain Storage Office Xuan Ce Keeps in mind the theory of life and death

I said it last time, but after seeing Zhou Zeng and saying it, the peak turned around, because I had eaten too violently and too quickly just now, my uncomfortable stomach stirred again, and I hurriedly got up and took another sip of warm rice wine, and it was smooth. Wang Xuance could only smile helplessly!

Zhou Zeng, who felt a lot more relieved, then said solemnly: "A few days ago, when I was about to arrive in Liangzhou, I went directly to the west because I got lost in the dark. I never thought that I would go around the hinterland of Tuyuhun. When he reacted, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and walked back, and as the sky grew brighter, he found that there were traces of a large group of horses passing by, so he was more careful. I didn't go far before I found a granary of Tuguhun, which was vast and magnificent, and looked as big as half a Luokou warehouse. There were not too many soldiers in the handles, there seemed to be three or four thousand of them. Then I slowly retreated, and on the way I met some Tuyuhun soldiers, who kept transporting grain in the direction of Liangzhou. As a result, as soon as I didn't pay attention, I was discovered, and I chased all the way like this, and then what happened later was that I met you! ”

Listening to Zhou Zeng's words, Wang Xuance suddenly understood. Then he got up and opened the hanging marching map, pointed to the markers on the map and said: "Brother, look, this direction is the west, this is Liangzhou City, this is the Tuyuhun Big Tent, this is the Two Realms Mountain, can you point out the general location of the granary on the marching map?"

Zhou Zeng looked at the map of the march, and after taking a closer look, he pointed out the approximate location of the granary. It is at the foot of Montenegro, one hundred and fifty miles west of Liangzhou City, that it not only has the topographical advantages of Montenegro, but also faces the big tent of Tuyuhun. It seems that this Heavenly Pillar King is really cleverly arranged, and the spies sent out to search again and again have been fruitless, but no one expected that under this nose, it would really be dark under the lamp. Although there is one camp in Tuyuhun around it, one camp is connected to another; But if you find this place where the grain is hidden, there will always be a way.

As Wang Xuance's brain turned, his eyes rolled upwards, and he had an idea, and he thought about it. But seeing him muttering in Zhou Zeng's ear, Zhou Zeng patted his chest and abdomen and assured him on the spot: "Big brother, don't worry, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I dare to break into it again" So, Wang Xuance was overjoyed. Then, under his careful arrangement, he selected more than a dozen strong and clever people, and after dressing up, he followed Zhou Zeng out of the city on an errand!

The words are divided into two ends, the book says that the two sessions, and it is only said that this week he led the brothers to act secretly according to Wang Xuance's strategy. And what happened in the tent of the Tugu Hun Heavenly Pillar King? The story has to be told.

But seeing the handsome tent of the King of the Heavenly Pillars, it was still the same as usual, and a blazing pot of charcoal was placed in the center of the big tent. On a triangular shelf above, there is an iron pot that is not big or small. The lamb that is about to be stewed is bubbling with rich heat, which suddenly fills the whole tent with a faint aroma of meat! I saw that he stirred the rich soup with a wooden spoon, poured it on top of the fatty mutton, and then put a little with a small spoon, gently put it to his mouth, blew it, smacked such a mouthful, and a sense of satisfaction arose! Immediately, he beckoned this attendant and distributed some of the boiled mutton to Murong Red, who was on the side!

But when he saw this Murong Red, after thanking him, he said to him: "Last night, there was a big man in the shape of a man, sneaky and very suspicious, both like a spy and not like a spy didn't understand for a while. broke into the land of Montenegro behind my camp, and after being discovered by the guards, he immediately sent people to chase him; It's a pity that outside this Liangzhou City, I was rescued by the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and I also folded our two young generals. ”

After thinking for a moment, the Heavenly Pillar King asked, "How is this person's kung fu right away?" ”

"Immediately he was very skillful in kung fu, and he made good use of a large knife and cut many soldiers; Listening to the pursuing soldiers report back like a Central Plains accent. Entering the land of my Black Mountain, it seems to have a small half-day scene. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a blatant spy, but in the end, he was accepted back to Liangzhou City! My concern is whether our granary will be exposed! According to his own analysis, Murong Lei replied to the Heavenly Pillar King.

King Tianzhu put down the knife that cut the mutton, pinched a piece casually, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "This Li Daozong is cunning and cunning, and at this critical moment, he has to guard against it." However, this land of Black Mountain is also surrounded by our army, and it should be safe to move a little and move it all. Keep a close watch, so that our people are smarter! ”

Although this Wang Xuance killed the two of them on the spot, because of Zhou Zeng's single-handedness and King Tianzhu's confidence in himself, he did not arouse their sufficient vigilance. However, it was really because of this small negligence that it caused a lot of consequences......

In just one day's work, Zhou Zeng and the others returned to Wang Xuance's big tent one after another. News also came from all directions. It turned out that in order to clarify the exact location of this Tuguhun granary, Wang Xuance asked Zhou Zeng to take these elite soldiers; Disguised as a Tuyuhun or a mountain man, he once again went deep behind the Tuyuhun army along the path. Not only did they listen to the news, but they also found out the rules of their grain transportation and the deployment of troops. However, after investigation, this Tuyuhun patrol soldier seems to be more agile than yesterday, it should be because of the consequences of that rush, fortunately, the number of troops has not increased for the time being!

After Wang Xuance figured out the general situation of the matter, he immediately took Zhou Zeng to Li Daozong's handsome tent!

This war has been going on for too long, and it's time for a result. The way of using soldiers is not only to know oneself and know the other, but also to see the right time; When the opportunity arises, the general should bite like a fierce steppe wolf. Li Daozong, who is now at this stage of stalemate, is also very distressed, although the strength is superior, but the march and battle are expensive, and how to pick up the sharp spirit that was frustrated by Li Jingheng is the problem he thinks about. Originally, he planned to cut off the grain route of Tuyuhun, but many spies were sent out, but to no avail. History is sometimes like this, an accidental event, suddenly triggering a series of stories, will form a different ending!

After entering this handsome tent and having a courtesy greeting between the three of them, Wang Xuance told him in detail how he had come to defect to himself this week and how he had encountered the Tuguhun granary. Then he gave Li Daozong the right way to the side of the marching sand table, and the standard general went to find out the situation again, and carefully pointed it out to Li Daozong! It was only at this time that Li Daozong suddenly realized, as Wang Xuance said, this is indeed the darkness under the lamp. No one talked about this treacherous and cunning King of Tianzhu, who actually put the granary in this place, and was overjoyed!

To say that this marshal is a marshal, he will not judge a person because of his personal grudges or external appearances. It is often based on the person's speech and demeanor, as well as the ability of the person, to judge the size of the person's ability. At this moment, Zhou Zeng already felt that he was also a talent in Li Daozong's sharp eyes.

The basis for his judgment is precisely because he not only supplemented the details that Wang Xuance did not notice, but also described them in detail. Li Daozong, who suddenly fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, looked at Zhou Zeng with a little relief. looks as burly and majestic as Yu Chi Zhanfei, although the appearance is a little evil, but the brain melon seeds seem to be better, and there is a little more cleverness in the recklessness, thick and fine, which can be very useful!

Now that the grain and grass supply site has been found, it stands to reason that it should be burned, so that Tuguhun can collapse without a fight! Although common sense is so, Li Daozong, who has a strong sense of the overall situation, is not so planned. Therefore, he asked the two of them in a tone of trial: "Since you know the land of this supply of grain and grass, I wonder what you think!" ”

Before Wang Xuance came, he had already thought of a surprise strategy to attack him, so he blurted out: "The last general means, please ask a light cavalry, horses to pick up bells, people to keep their mouths, look for a dark night, bring enough fire-starting utensils, and burn him!" Although Zhou Zeng didn't know much about the art of war, he was quite good at charging into battle and killing the enemy; So with Wang Xuance's words, he gave him firm support!

A general is a general after all, and Wang Xuance is young after all, and he only thinks about tactical issues; Li Daozong, on the other hand, is thinking about the direction of the strategic level. Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Li Daozong also admired this young man for having such a plan! But this was not what he wanted, because he already had a premonition that the balance of victory in the war was once again tilted in his favor! Therefore, he explained to them the difference between a general and a marshal: "Charge into battle for the general, and take the head of the enemy general in the battle formation; And for those who are handsome, they should consider it holistically, know how to make good use of people, use it strategically, fight well, grasp the key points, and defeat it with one blow! ”

There is an experience in everything, and facing Wang Xuance, who is trying his skills in Liangzhou City, this is already the best strategy he has thought of at present. Hearing Li Daozong's words, he also agreed, and thinking about what the master had said, he also realized it more deeply. I only heard Li Dao then said: "Looking at the Tianzhu King's arrangement, they are interlocking, and they are connected from end to end, if you can't hit it with one blow when you sneak attack, let him support with all his strength, won't he be able to come back!" ”

Wang Xuance returned impassionedly without thinking about it: "The last general is not afraid of death, let alone death, as long as he can achieve this plan, he will not give up even if he dies!" Zhou Zeng immediately echoed this Wang Xuance.

Li Daozong looked at them with such a firm expression, smiled slightly, and said to them meaningfully: "Don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of death, this kind of courage is very commendable!" However, when the general leads his troops to fight, he should be even more afraid of death; Only by fearing death can we know the preciousness of life, and we can not be afraid of death, and we are not afraid of death! Do you know that? ”

This time, the argument of fear of death, fear of death, fear of death; made Wang Xuance feel a kind of ignorance in an instant, like a rush in the fog of five miles, and he looked at a loss for a while! And although Zhou Zeng said that he was also a person who rolled out of the pile of dead people, he had never seen any battles of fighting, killing and killing, but when he heard this words, he was also confused!

Looking at the two who were not very clear, Li Daozong smiled solemnly and explained to them: "Whether it is a general or a marshal, there are too many deaths in fighting, killing and killing, in other words, how can there be immortals in war?" But after the end of the war, in the face of broken families, although they can get the state's pension, but the children have no father, wives have no husbands, and the elderly have no children, which will always be a kind of pain that cannot be erased! This kind of pain can only be deeply felt by family members! ”

Looking at the two who were enlightened, he continued: "For the generals, what should be considered more is to make such tragedies less occurring." You only have one life, and you can't come back when you die. Only by being afraid of death can we know the preciousness of life, as the commander of the marching army, what we consider is how to make overall arrangements from a strategic point of view, not only to minimize casualties, but also to win the war, which is the royal way! I can't let you rush into the hinterland of Tuyuhun so recklessly until I have to, even if it is a residual victory, what is the point of this? Although you are not afraid of death, not afraid of death, I am convinced that at the last moment, you will definitely sacrifice your life for the country, in the face of such a brave warrior, I can't let you die, let alone watch you die, this is the mission and responsibility of the commander! ”

Only by fearing death can we know the preciousness of life. Hearing that Li Daozong had such a theory of life and death that he had groped out from the pile of dead people, Wang Xuance was deeply shocked and deeply impressed by this commander! And this heartfelt words made Wang Xuance engraved in his heart and deeply affected his future military career! The coarse Zhou Zeng was also attracted by this concise and concise statement; A kind of artistic conception of Daigo empowerment welled up in my indelible heart!

Looking at the expressions of the two people, although there were not many words, Li Daozong already understood that they were buried deep in their hearts. So he spoke out about his strategic plan. The two of them hurriedly came back to their senses and listened to Li Daozong's detailed explanation: "The two sides have been holding each other for a long time, and at this moment, the strength of my Liangzhou City is far superior to that of the Tianzhu King, so give him a hard-fought battle." What I mean by this is to adopt a strategy of frontal assault, flank feints, and sneak attacks from behind! I attacked the enemy from the front, took the initiative to attack Tuyuhun, and attracted the main force of the Tianzhu King. You led two thousand elite light cavalry along the trail from the flank, as you mentioned, the horses picked up the bells, the people forbade the mouth, and made a detour to the foot of the Black Mountain, and came by surprise and burned this place of grain and grass supply. Then there are all the generals, from the hilly area around Liangzhou City to attack Tuyuhun on the side, so that it can't take care of each other, and can't take care of the front and back, so that the pressure of your sneak attack will naturally be reduced, and this Tianzhu King wants to save him is also lacking in skills, and his chain of villages will naturally be broken! As long as we can hold it off for a day, you can burn this granary on fire, and the battle is decided! ”

Hearing Li Daozong's detailed plan, Wang Xuance deeply understood the intention of his lofty arguments. The marshal is a marshal after all, and this strategy of marching and fighting instantly made him figure out the essence of the "Guiguzi Book of Soldiers" taught by the master in more detail. Although the military book is very good, and many details are deeply engraved in my mind, it is still on paper. Although he has the mentality of improvisation, he has no experience in arranging troops; Everything is ever-changing, and even more so in war, only through practice can we understand the intention of the book at a deeper level!

Wang Xuance, who was deeply acclaimed, replied: "The marshal's plan is very good, not only can he reduce casualties, but he also wraps Tuyuhun dumplings at once; As stated in the book of war: Attack one point, strive for the initiative, and it hurts! ”

The three of them smiled knowingly. Wang Xuance was well aware of the rapid changes in fighter planes, so he asked for immediate action. If he set out at this time, he would have reached the foot of Montenegro at the foot of the Black Mountain at night, and a fire would burn down his granary! Li Daozong also had this intention, and immediately moved the order!

So, Wang Xuance followed Zhou Zeng to lead 2,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters and set off in advance; The soldiers who hadn't been through a big battle for a long time, although they felt that things came very suddenly, but when they heard that they were going to sneak attack this place where Tugu Hun was supplied, their morale was also high!

Looking at Wang Xuance, who was secretly on the expedition, Li Daozong immediately ordered the rest of the generals to listen to the order in this handsome tent. It didn't take long for the generals to gather in this solemn tent. But seeing this, Li Daozong simply and neatly ordered: "Today is the last moment for us to fight to the death with the Heavenly Pillar King!" Therefore, all the soldiers must obey my generals, and if they dare to disrespect the generals' orders, they will not be spared! ”

All the generals heard that they were quite upright, and replied in unison to "only"

So, Li Daozong immediately moved down the military order: "Li Jingheng leads 10,000 horses to guard this Liangzhou City and prevent the Tianzhu King from sneaking attack!" But seeing this, after Li Jingheng thought about it for a while, he took the arrow handed down by his father in a proper manner!

"The general of the Left Wing Army led an army of 20,000, and the Qiheyuan on the left side of Liangzhou City attacked, dragging the enemy on the left side of Tuyuhun. The general of the Right Wing Army led 20,000 and attacked from the Xiangling Yuan on the right side of Liangzhou City to drag the enemy on the right side of Tuyuhun" The two generals immediately came out of the column and respectfully took the order arrow!

Li Daozong then ordered, "I personally led 50,000 horses to attack Tuyuhun head-on and storm its camp. Special Lieutenant Chi Zhanfei is the vanguard of the front, and at this moment he leads 5,000 elite soldiers to take the lead! "Yu Chi Zhanfei also took the order with dignity!

"Success or failure is in this move, you must do your best to defeat this Heavenly Pillar King in one fell swoop, so as to boost the prestige of my Tang Army!" Li Daozong ordered to the rank generals!

With another sound, the neat and loud "only" rank general withdrew from this handsome account in an orderly manner, and prepared to go according to the score!

In this duel of life and death, what is Tuyuhun doing? Will they really be caught like this? Please see next time!
