"Commander," Fu Tianliang expressed his opinion first, "the current situation is that we and the enemy's strength are too different, and if we fight head-on, even if we are super strong, we may not be able to gain the upper hand." If we lose, the spark of the New Han Army will be gone, and our previous efforts will be in vain with the defeat. ”

Fu Tianliang said: "Fighting when you are weak and leaving when you are strong is the general rule of the art of war when the army is weak. The subordinates felt that the only feasible plan was to take advantage of the fact that the Hesse troops were searching the mountains and the line of troops was stretched and scattered, so as to find an opportunity to concentrate all their forces, break through the weakest place, rush out, forcibly break through their traffic blockade, and defect to Linshui Town, meet with the defenders of Marquis Ding, help him evacuate a large number of people in the surrounding villages and towns, transfer goods, set up ambushes and snipers, resist the enemy as much as possible, and prolong the evacuation time. After all the people were evacuated to Yantang Pass, they gave up the defense of the waterfront, and all of them withdrew to Yantang Pass, gathered troops, and defended the city according to the danger. If Yantang Pass is also lost, it will retreat south to the plain area and join up with the Huaizhou defenders to resist the enemy. In this way, although there is no victory, it is the safest, whether it is the people or small groups of defenders in various places, the casualties will be minimal. ”

Zhang Bao and Wu Shun echoed Fu Tianliang's idea. I'm listening to your analysis and think it's the only way to go.

But there is a serious obstacle to this approach. That's me.

In the bloody battle of breaking out of the encirclement, with you already wounded, I have little chance of making it through the enemy line alive.

You don't agree with Fu Tianliang. You say, "If there is a huge disparity in forces, we will never have the opportunity to fight and attack." ”

You said: "The line of thought that Brother Fu just mentioned is exactly the traditional tactics of the Han army that puts safety first and attacks with defense for many years. It is precisely this traditional method of warfare that I want to break. Because, it doesn't solve the problem, and the enemy is already very familiar with this routine. ”

You say, "If we act like this, we will lose all the land of the ten towns in Lingnan in a few days, and the people of the ten towns will lose a lot." And the enemy army will also succeed in one fell swoop, penetrating deep into the Han land and advancing the battle line to the densely populated areas of the Han people. In areas where the Han people are dense, the land is fertile, and the cities are rich, a tragic large-scale offensive and defensive war is carried out. The war can wreak havoc on the entire region. Even if the enemy is defeated and retreats later, we may not be able to recover from the losses caused by the war in the next three to five years. In the next three to five years, the country will lose its fiscal and tax contributions to this region, and its national strength will inevitably suffer. If, regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, the country and the people have been greatly damaged, then what else do the country and the people need from our soldiers! ”

You said: "After losing the geographical barrier of Lingnan, Dasuo's cavalry troops will drive straight into the plains, and if Beihu occupies the four important passes of Yantang Pass, Wangyuan Pass, Huaizhou, and Zhongzhou, it will be extremely difficult to drive them back to the grassland, and it will take at least three or five years of repeated wars." ”

You say, "This kind of action seems safe, but in fact it is dangerous, and it seems to be a life, but it is actually a dead end." ”

You say, "The real life in a desperate situation is often not in avoidance, but in the dead end." ”

Say, "Will you listen to my tactics?" ”

On that day, you came up with another battle plan that left everyone stunned. It was this battle plan that reversed the passive and critical battle situation on the Northern Front in one fell swoop, making you famous and shocking the world.
