Chapter 434: The Law of Crossing the River

"I don't know what kind of strategy Manager Duan can have to break the enemy."

Duan Jian still understands the name of Wei Yuanzhong, and compared to the hypocrisy between him and Li Xiaoyi, Duan Jian still admires Wei Yuanzhong in his heart.

Therefore, after hearing Wei Yuanzhong's question, he replied respectfully, "I don't dare to take the strategy of breaking the enemy, not to mention the origin of the chief housekeeper, just say that Wei Jianjun and the generals are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. ”

"Hehehe, Chief Duan is really polite, not to mention the heroism of General Manager Duan last year on behalf of exterminating the traitors of the Heavenly Taoist Sect and maintaining the peace in the south of the Yangtze River, let's just say that not long ago, General Manager Duan relied on weak troops to defeat more than 100,000 rebels, such a record, if you can't be called a famous general, I'm afraid the world will say that we have no eyes." Li Xiaoyi smiled and complimented.

"What the chief manager said is good, the general manager Duan has repeatedly sent troops over the years, and several times the weak defeated the strong, which can be described as brilliant military achievements, and it is not concealed, now the Xu army occupies the favorable terrain of Xiaxi, and holds the main road for our army to go south, although our army is powerful, but it is difficult for the woman to cook without rice, and cannot use all the troops to attack, and the small force is not the opponent of the rebels, now it can be described as extremely embarrassing, if the Duan commander really has a way to help our army cross Xiaxi, I and the whole army are grateful."

Duan Jian's respect for himself, Wei Yuanzhong also saw it in his eyes, although he didn't know why this young handsome man who was favored by the Queen Mother treated him like this, but Wei Yuanzhong was not a fool, there was no need to offend people, besides, Wei Yuanzhong also admired Duan Jian's achievements over the years.

"Thank you, the chief manager, Wei Jianjun's weapon, since this is the case, a certain class will get an axe."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyi and Wei Yuanzhong both turned pale, and the previous smile and various expressions all disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, they knew that what Duan Jian was going to say next was very important.

Looking at the two of them, Duan Jian also nodded secretly in his heart, you know, this time he could have sat in the back and quietly watched the battle happen, anyway, no matter what the war was, he was already invincible, with his absolutely weak troops, he defeated more than 100,000 Xu troops, no matter who could say a word.

But this is not what Duan Jian wants, what he wants is that this battle will end quickly like the Battle of Yangzhou in history, rather than this kind of chaos that slowly evolves into a situation that even he can't guess.

"The chief manager, Wei Jianjun, it is not difficult to get through Xiaxi, the difficult thing is how to take the opportunity to defeat the Xu army." Duan Jian said.

"Yes, yes, Manager Duan is really a generation of famous generals, and it is not difficult to get through Xiaxi, but now the Xu army is carrying out along Xiaxi, not to mention the transfer of the army, even some fine work cannot pass through their blockade line, it can be said that it is extremely tight, if this problem can be solved, the rebels will not be too far away from being wiped out." Li Xiaoyi opened his mouth in agreement.

"Hey, hey, don't be impatient, the general manager is here for this, you may not know, according to a certain investigation, although this stream is a big river, in addition to the convenience of this Gaoyou Lake and the canal, continuously, the river has always been extremely deep, but the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter are different, even if the river is in a precise place, there will be loopholes."

"Loopholes, what loopholes, tell me quickly."

"During the year, at the time of the wax moon, the water in the lower stream will be reduced by two-thirds, and after more than ten days, it will slowly recover."

"That's true."

"My subordinates dare to vouch for it with their heads." Duan Jian solemnly promised.

No wonder Duan Jian dared to say that it was so cut off, this is based on the previous life, in order to restore those famous battles in history, Duan Jian asked the company's employees to do various investigations on the details of the selected battles, and the Battle of Xiaxi was one of them.

It was through this kind of investigation that Duan Jian discovered that in the Battle of Xiaxi, although the Tang Army was powerful and strong, in fact, it was not them who really had the upper hand, but Xu Jingye, who was relatively weak.

Just because he controlled the defense of Xiaxi, tens of thousands of Xu troops actually blocked hundreds of thousands of Tang troops on the opposite bank for a long time, and even made Li Xiaoyi almost move the plan to change lanes.

In the end, Li Xiaoyi was able to win, which can be regarded as God's help, just in time for the end of November, Xiaxi became a dry period, and Xiaxi, which originally needed a ferry, was actually similar to flat land, and could run past, in this case, in addition to the dry weather in winter, there are patches of reeds here, so Xu Jingye was completely tragic, not only lost his head in the end, but also took his family and ancestors were implicated.

"Okay, good, it's really good, if the water in the stream drops by more than half, our soldiers can wade directly through the water without the ferry, in that case, the advantage of the Xu army will be useless, the army is dispatched, even if the Xu army has more defense, it is useless."

Li Xiaoyi and Wei Yuanzhong shouted excitedly at the same time, at this moment, what diversion and what failure were completely left behind by them, thinking about how to use this opportunity to completely annihilate Xu Jun.

"A certain representative of many soldiers thank General Manager Duan, without the news of General Manager Duan, whether we are diverted to Yangzhou City in the south, or continue to attack the rebels in Xiaxi, there will be countless soldiers who will die tragically, your news is really comparable to an army of 100,000! After the rebels are exterminated, a certain party will ask the court and the empress dowager for you. ”

Li Xiaoyi got up and saluted Duan Jian.

"Hey, the chief steward is too polite, it is my duty as a courtier to eat the king's fortune and worry about the king, since my subordinates are members of the rebel army, it is also our duty to do our best to exterminate the rebels, and I don't deserve the reward of the chief steward."

"Chief, since we already know that the water in the lower stream is about to fall, it is better to immediately gather all the soldiers to discuss a brilliant plan, as long as we wait until the water in the lower stream begins to fall, we will immediately start and take the rebels off guard." Wei Yuanzhong said.

"Yes, the supervising army is thoughtful, in this way, the soldiers are very fast, and a certain person immediately ordered someone to gather many generals to discuss the entry of troops."

"Someone comes, pass it on quickly........"

"The boss is slow, so-and-so still has something to say."

Hearing Wei Yuanzhong's suggestion, Li Xiaoyi wanted to find someone to come to discuss, but unfortunately, he was interrupted by Duan Jian, who suddenly spoke.

Suddenly interrupted, Li Xiaoyi felt a little uncomfortable, but because the person who interrupted him was Duan Jian, he could only endure it in his heart, and asked suspiciously, "Manager Duan, is there anything else that can't be said." ”

"The chief manager is a little restless, his subordinates do still have something to say, it is better for the chief manager to listen to his subordinates' words and give orders before it is too late." Duan Jian still said lightly.

"I don't know what happened, but it was more finally impossible than making a battle plan."

"Hahaha, don't worry, the chief manager, I have a question for you, I don't know if you have thought about it, even if the water in the river has dropped by more than half, but the army is dispatched, will it definitely be able to exterminate Xu Jingye's rebels, in case Xu Jun also finds out about this situation and prepares in advance, it will be very disadvantageous to our army." Duan Jian asked rhetorically.

"This .........."

Duan Jian's question made Li Xiaoyi hesitate, although he was not a qualified general, he could follow a famous general's father since he was a child, and he still learned some military affairs. ’

This sentence is firmly in his mind, if the army is strong, it will definitely win, and there will not be so many wars in history where the weak defeat the strong, especially those wars are the same as his current situation, the other side occupies a certain time or geographical advantage, resulting in the other side defeat.

"Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Duan came prepared this time, then the matter of the receding stream is probably just an appetizer, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Compared with Li Xiaoyi, who was a little slow to react, Wei Yuanzhong understood the deep meaning of Duan Jian, so he said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes, what the military advisor said is good, as long as the rebels can be eliminated as soon as possible, whatever you want, you will agree." Li Xiaoyi is not a fool, after listening to Wei Yuanzhong's words, he also understood the meaning.

Regarding Li Xiaoyi's mistaken belief that he was taking the opportunity to put forward conditions, Duan Jian did not explain, but directly said his previous plan.

"The chief manager and the overseer laughed, how dare a certain have any conditions, in fact, a certain plan is very simple, just two words, fire attack."

"Fire attack."

Hearing this word, Li Xiaoyi and Wei Yuanzhong both showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

...................

"Strategist, look at what's going on, could it be that Li Xiaoyi is cowardly, he wants to withdraw from the army, it's been a few days, let alone attacking, and he doesn't even have a detailed work to investigate, what are they trying to do?"

After the failure of Su Shouxiang's night attack, for several days in a row, the Tang army did not make the slightest move, and even in addition to the necessary sentry, there were not many soldiers who walked out of the camp, this strange situation made Xu Jingye and others extremely puzzled.

"It's not enough to retreat, even if Li Xiaoyi wants to retreat, Wu Meiniang's demon woman will not allow it, that demon woman will hate us to the bone, if we don't crush our bones and scatter ashes, she won't be reconciled, now the Tang army is not moving, it's not a good thing, it must be planning something big, if it doesn't move, it's a blockbuster, our recent defense will continue to be strengthened."

Wei Siwen also felt a little different about the sudden silence of the Tang army, according to his understanding, in the face of successive blows, the Tang army either found a way to break through their defense, or thought of another way, no matter what, he would not just sit like this, but the fact is that the Tang army was indifferent, just stayed in the barracks honestly, making people have nothing to think about.

"Look, do you want us to send someone to investigate?"

Since the defeat of Xijin Gudu, Xu Jingye, who was once arrogant and domineering, and self-respecting, seemed to be dead, and became a little unsettled, although many times he was still as decisive as before, but he still often discussed with Wei Siwen.

For the current Xu Jingye, Wei Siwen's heart is a little regretful but also a little more lucky, it is a pity that there is no arrogant and domineering Xu Jingye, which is a loss to the current Xu Jun, fortunately, Xu Jingye, who knows how to discuss with others in trouble, has gradually become mature.

"Just send people, now is the critical time, although the Tang army seems to have no movement on the surface, it can't help but secretly strengthen the operation, now send people over, it is to send people to death, so let's find local people, let them pay attention to some Tang army's movements!" Wei Siwen said.

......................

"Fire attack, this ...... This, is this reliable, you must know that this is at the water's edge, how can our ordinary fire burn, besides, we and Xu Jun are still separated from the river, even if we want to attack with fire, it will not help! ”

Hearing Duan Jian's words, Li Xiaoyi asked with a puzzled face.

"Hahaha, don't be impatient, this fire attack is exquisite, you should know that the Battle of Chibi was also carried out on the Yangtze River, and Zhou Yu didn't burn Cao Cao's countless warships and burned hundreds of thousands of Cao troops to death, so as long as you find the right way, any tactics are possible."

Duan Jian said with a smile.

"But, this ........."

Li Xiaoyi is still a little incredulous.

"I understand, I see, I see, hey, why didn't I think of it, I've been here for so long, that kind of thing is dangling in front of me every day, but I have been turning a blind eye, it's really damned, damn it!"

Li Xiaoyi didn't understand, but Wei Yuanzhong suddenly shouted in surprise, and it was not difficult to hear from his tone that he had already understood what Duan Jian meant.

Looking at the surprised Wei Yuanzhong, Li Xiaoyi felt even more depressed.

"Strategist, what the hell is going on, and what that kind of thing is, you can explain it to so-and-so."

It's a pity that Wei Yuanzhong didn't pay attention to Li Xiaoyi's question, or he didn't have the heart to think about anything else at the moment, walked quickly to Duan Jian, pulled Duan Jian's arm and asked, "Manager Duan has a good plan, in this way, it can indeed burn the fire, but have you thought about it, if the Xu army takes the opportunity to retreat, this fire will not play a big role, and at that time, even if we occupy Xiaxi, as long as the main force of the rebels does not suffer too much loss, they can still resist stubbornly in Yangzhou City with the city wall, At that time, with the strong walls of Yangzhou City, it will be even more difficult for us to exterminate the rebels. ”

"Don't worry, since the prison army has already thought of this plan, how can he not think of a solution, a certain has already had a way to deal with them, and he will definitely let Xu Jun stay by the river honestly, and when the fire comes, even if they want to escape, they will not be able to escape far." Duan Jian said quite confidently.

Duan Jian and Wei Yuanzhong were happy to talk, but Li Xiaoyi sat there with great anger in his heart, looking at them quietly.
