"Chief Administrator, the sailor came to report that there seemed to be a fire in the direction of Beisha City last night." Early in the morning, when Wu Yuanqing was upset because Cheng Chumo couldn't arrive for a long time, someone outside the door reported.

"Rub, fire? I don't think I'll really give the Great Black Mountain an order." Wu Yuanqing thought with a shocked face.

He and Cheng Chumo, Li Chengqian and others often talked about several hard battles fought by the Sui Dynasty when they conquered Goguryeo, and when it came to Hu'er's hard attack on Beisha City, Li Chengqian and others admired and admired the strength of this fierce general, because they all knew that Beisha City was one of the few fortified cities in Liaodong, and it was extremely difficult to attack.

At that time, Wu Yuanqing deliberately raised the bar with them and said that it was nothing great to come to Hu'er, if it was him, he would set fire to the Great Black Mountain and burn all the Goguryeo people in the city to death.

Li Chengqian said that he had read the sage books since he was a child, and he felt that this method was too tragic, and he shuddered when he thought about it. But Cheng Chumo felt that this method was very good, and said that if he led his troops to fight in the future, when he encountered a city in the valley, he would use fire to attack this trick, which was too easy.

This bold statement almost scared Wu Yuanqing to death, this Nima must not be scolded to death by countless people with lofty ideals if it is to be passed out, recorded in the history books, this is the notorious reputation that has been stinking for thousands of years.

Don't you dare to say that, it's okay for our buddies to brag, but you can't mess around if you really meet it, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly dissuaded Cheng Chu from silently extinguishing the idea of attacking with fire casually.

Tell him that attacking with fire is too tragic, too hurtful to heaven and peace, and will affect future generations, and will be punished by heaven.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo still used it after all, and it was used in Beisha City and in Daheisheng.

Wu Yuanqing is very sure that last night, the red light reflected in the sky, it must have been Cheng Chumo who ordered the Great Black Mountain, so that the Goguryeo defenders of Beisha City were buried in the mountain fire.

Although there is no evidence, Wu Yuanqing is convinced that Cheng Chumo must have set the fire.

"Hey, if you get closer, maybe the sailors' people can see the fire on the sea, it's hard to see such a spectacular scene," Wu Yuanqing pondered.

Cheng Chumo would be very surprised if he saw Wu Yuanqing's current expression and attitude, why would Wu Yuanqing, who had been warned that he was hurting the heavens, be so indifferent, so calm and accepted this speculation.

In fact, it is not surprising at all that Wu Yuanqing said that he hurt the sky and just scared Cheng Chumo, and did not let him talk nonsense so as not to fall into the hands of others and leave a bad reputation in the history books. It's not that he really doesn't mind anything about a plan like a fire attack, otherwise he wouldn't have said that attacking Beisha City could be attacked with fire and set fire to the mountain and burn the city.

Fire attack, almost all military books will mention this strategy, and Sun Tzu's Art of War has a separate article for fire attack.

Sun Tzu said: There are five types of fire attacks: one is the fire man, the second is the fire accumulation, the third is the fire carament, the fourth is the fire storehouse, and the fifth is the fire team. There must be a cause for fire, and fireworks must be furnished. There are times when the fire starts, and there are days when the fire starts. The time is dry, and the sky is dry; The sun, the moon is in the kei, the wall, the wings, and the wings. All those who live in these four quarters will also be the day when the wind rises.

Whatever fire attacks will be responded to by the changes of the five fires. If the fire is on the inside, it should be on the outside. Those who send fire and soldiers are quiet, wait and do not attack, extremely firepower, can be stopped, not stopped. Fire can be sent out outside, not inside, and then it can be sent out at the right time. The fire has the upper hand, and there is no attack on the downwind. The day wind is long, and the night wind stops. All armies will know that there are five fires, and they will defend them by number.

There will be several types of targets to attack with fire, and how to deal with different situations with fire.

The most used fire attack is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and of course, many examples of battles are indeed true in history.

And in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the use of fire attack is superb, Zhuge Wuhou, Zhuge Liang.

What burned Bowangpo, burned Xinye, burned gourd valley, burned vine armor soldiers and the like, the large group army fought, there was a fire that burned grain and grass and heavy baggage, there was a fire that burned ships and horses to burn Chibi, and the battle of Yiling that burned woods and horses burned the company camp for 700 miles.

Two of the three fires in the back directly changed the direction of history, and one almost changed the direction of history.

The burning of the black nest directly made Yuan Shao, who was the strongest and most likely to unify the disputes at the end of the Han Dynasty, collapse, and the burning of the company camp for 700 miles directly abolished Liu Bei's Shu Han. These two fires directly changed the course of history.

And the burning of Chibi almost changed the direction of history, Cao Wei's army was burned down by the Sun and Liu coalition forces, Cao Cao almost hung up, if it weren't for Cao Cao's good life and good luck, not only survived but also became strong again, otherwise history really changed, and there would be nothing to do with the Sui and Tang dynasties of the two Jin and Southern Dynasties.

But arson is a thing that can be done but not said, in fact, many things can be done but not said.

Chinese people are like this, bad things can be done, but they can't be said and can't be promoted. If you want to say that on the battlefield, don't talk about fire attack, that is, any method that can be used to achieve victory. But those who have the right to speak, who have been educated by Confucian benevolence from childhood to adulthood, do not know how to be flexible and do not know the world, they will not see it this way.

They can only see the misery of a fire, but they are blind to the benefits of their own side.

They are a bunch of saints, a bunch of saints who can only talk about cannons, and they will stand on the moral high ground and accuse and lash out at those who ordered the arson. In their eyes, the enemy is the man, and the own person is the.

When their own soldiers die, they will feel at ease that they should sacrifice their lives for the country, and when the enemy dies, it will be like the sky has fallen, and they feel that they are destroying their bodies instead of educating the enemy, and they are tarnishing the glory of the saints.

The literati scolded in the wild is not miserable, the worst thing is to set fire to the city, burn the palace, Chu overlord Xiang Yu because of the burning of Xianyang Palace Afang Palace, was scolded by many literati that was miserable, especially after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty is orthodox, then Xiang Yu, who competes with him for the world, will naturally not be a very positive image, in order to cater to the Italian literati will always be ugly.

Then at the end of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo's subordinate Li Ru persuaded Dong Zhuo to take the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an when he was the prince of the Eighteenth Road, and burned Luoyang before leaving.

This incident alone is enough for Li Ru to leave a stench in history for 10,000 years.

In order to avoid being targeted by literati, Wu Yuanqing used it to hurt Tianhe, and he would be frightened by heaven to prevent him from talking nonsense. Of course, it doesn't matter if you just say it or don't do it, the key is that Wu Yuanqing knows Cheng Chumo very well, this guy dares to think and dare to do, if he really wants to remember the matter of arson, in the future, he will lead troops to quell the rebellion, attack there, and encounter a situation where he can win with a fire, he can definitely do this.

said and did it, causing great casualties, then the reputation of the old Cheng family doesn't need to be thought about, it will definitely not be better, the literati who think they are very righteous don't make the old Cheng family stink in the history books.
