Chapter 565: The Key to the Battle
"So the key to deciding the outcome of this battle is not the soldiers, but the generals!" The suddenly enlightened Zhongli blurted out his debut.
Pang Tong smiled: "Speaking of this, I have to admire some people, it seems that everything has been designed early in the morning." ”
Liu He pretended to hold his fists, and said shamelessly: "Brother Shiyuan has won the award." ”
Liu He can be so ashamed, naturally he has his reasons, and he does have this capital.
Zhong Lixun just said that the key to this battle is not the number of troops, but the strength of the general.
In previous battles, a general who led the troops had at least a few thousand people under his command, and the commander who sat in the big tent of the Chinese army held tens of thousands of soldiers.
With those soldiers charging in front, they don't have to fight to the death with each other on the battlefield, and in most cases, a person who knows how to save his life can become a real handsome.
But according to the proportion of the battle, each general has only 100 soldiers under his command, and these generals not only have to command and dispatch, but also pick up weapons and personally go to the battlefield to fight.
For a martial artist who can enter the house, a hundred lowly soldiers with martial arts will not be taken into account at all, and the ones who can really pose a threat to him are those masters sent by the other party.
If it is evaluated by the scope of the territory and the number of troops, then it is undoubtedly Cao Cao who is the strongest and Liu Bei who is the weakest.
But if it is judged by the martial arts of the generals under his command, it is a completely opposite situation.
Not to mention anything else, the Five Tiger Generals alone are enough to deter all the famous generals in the world, even under Cao Cao's account, there are few people who can compete with the Five Tiger Generals.
And Dongwu is not to mention, there was a Tai Shi Ci support scene who could have a tie with Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, but now that Tai Shi Ci is dead, there is only Gan Ning left in Dongwu, who can be called a fierce general, and the rest of them can't be put on the table at all.
In other words, the current situation has quietly reversed, and Liu Beijun, who is the weakest on the surface, has changed and become the strongest party.
Therefore, Sun Quan has always insisted on uniting the weak to resist the strong, and it is likely to unite Cao Cao's weakness and fight against Liu Beijun's strong together.
Zhong Lixun pondered for a moment, but he looked a little worried, "I'm only afraid, with only our five tiger generals, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to resist the Cao Sun family joining forces, after all, the combined forces they can invest are more than four times our strength." ”
"Quadruple? Even ten times is useless! Liu He's face was proud, "I can give you a thorough understanding now, in this battle, I didn't want Zhao Yun and the five of them to fight at all." ”
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Pang Tong on the side.
Pang Tong smiled: "Have you forgotten? In addition to being Mr. Tianji in Yizhou, he is also the leader of today's martial arts alliance! ”
Seeing that Zhong Lixun was still a little worried, Pang Tong patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are also a person who practices martial arts, why can't you even turn this corner?" In a battle of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, it is natural that well-trained soldiers have the advantage, but if it is a fight between dozens of people and hundreds of people, who can beat those gangs? ”
"You mean to say that those martial arts sects and gangs will participate in the war?" Zhongli Xun looked incredulous.
It is hard for him to imagine how those gangs and gangs who can only fight on the street will behave on the real battlefield, after all, this is a battle that determines the future trend and the ownership of the world, how can it be child's play.
Liu He and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, and said calmly: "Not only the gangs of those gangs, but also those who are in charge of the gangs, all of them must personally participate in the war. ”
Zhong Lixun looked at Liu He with a questioning look, obviously still unacceptable.
Pang Tong smiled: "Don't you remember, when the Dingjun Mountain was fought, someone swept away tens of thousands of Cao troops with a sword?" This is the gap between Jianghu warriors and ordinary generals. If you want to say that you will be on the list, everyone who can be ranked on it is a famous general in the world, but if it is a martial arts list, none of these people can be ranked. ”
Liu He smiled but said nothing, with a smug face.
Every word of Pang Tong spoke to Liu He's heart, which is also the situation that Liu He has always wanted to see.
This meeting was initiated by Liu He himself, and the one hundred and eight jade stones were also prepared by him himself.
The so-called end of the troubled times is true, and it is also true that he hopes that fewer people will die, but Liu He has a more important purpose, that is, to reduce the scale of the war, so as to magnify his own advantage.
This is also the idea that Liu He has been carefully planning, always buried deep in his heart, and never forgotten.
Use the rivers and lakes to restrain the temple!
Liu He has thought of many ways, but he can't solve the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the temple well, because the premise of everything is to establish an intricate connection between the two.
Using the masters of the rivers and lakes to assassinate the opponent's generals and strategists, and even those in power, seems to be the simplest and most effective way, but at the same time, it is also the most stupid way.
The biggest drawback of this method is that it is extremely difficult to control the situation, and it does not play a decisive role at all.
If you kill a He Jin, there will be a Dong Zhuo, if you kill a Dong Zhuo, there will be another Cao Cao, and only attacking the current people in power will not solve the fundamental problem.
Besides, you can kill others, and others can also come to kill you, and the relationship between those Jianghu warriors and those in power is at most a kind of employment relationship, and there is no restriction at all.
However, the current situation is completely different, although Yizhou is small, but in Liu He's hands, he holds the thirty-six major gangs and seventy-two major factions on the rivers and lakes, and he is also the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Long before this, Liu He had carefully moved all the main altars of these gangs and sects to Yizhou, all of which were preparing for today.
Since joining Liu Beijun, he has always relied on predicting the trend of the world and a little cleverness to get to where he is today.
In terms of buying people's hearts, he is not as good as Liu Bei, in terms of governing the army and the country, he is not as good as Zhuge Liang, and in terms of strategizing, he is not as good as Pang Tong and Zhong Lixun.
The only thing he could do was the skills he had obtained from the ancestors of the Chen family.
He has always wanted to make a fuss about these skills, because he has seen the life and death on the battlefield and the deceit in the officialdom, and he knows that he can't compete with those geniuses who are admired by future generations for all generations.
Only by opening up your own path is the king!
Now this road, which was destined not to be smooth from the beginning, he finally came step by step, and what he had always wanted was now in front of him, almost at his fingertips.
