Chapter 0242: Xu Tiande explains the art of war
(There is something today, the update time is slightly adjusted, if you can't update it in time at night, you will make up for it later)
Although Jizhou has a large number of soldiers, it has the three cities of Yuxian County as a basis, and it is ready to fight.
However, after experiencing several battles to capture Taiyuan, especially the danger and tragedy of the Battle of Qixian, Liu Mang gradually understood the truth that "soldiers are murderous weapons".
Even if there is a certainty of victory in the war, but in another big war, the three counties of Jingcheng will inevitably suffer another catastrophe, and Taiyuan, which has just gradually stabilized, is bound to fluctuate again.
beating, wounded soldiers and injured people. If you don't fight, how can Yuan Shao be willing to do good?
Liu Mang had a hard time choosing......
All the people under Liu Mang were powerful people in all dynasties and dynasties in their previous lives. Except for Cheng Yanjin, who occasionally let go casually, others such as Su Dingfang, Li Xiucheng, and even the young Xu Da paid attention to their position in the army.
In this way, analyzing the psychology of Yuan Shao in Jizhou and deciding on the next step is a macro strategic decision. At this time, Su Dingfang and others usually do not take the initiative to express their opinions.
Everyone turned all their attention to Liu Bowen.
"There are three things that Yuan Benchu did, let's follow these three and deal with them one by one." Liu Bowen is already in his chest.
Liu Bowen has analyzed Yuan Shao's purpose and summed it up: "Yuan's initial backup supply line is too long, which is not conducive to long-lasting, so he naturally hopes for a quick battle and a decisive battle. If the plot is used, the enemy will cut off the idea of taking the three counties quickly. ”
"Fortify the defense, so that the enemy cannot break through, and decide his thoughts. Harassing the grain routes, causing the enemy to worry about supplies and shaking their hearts. ”
The policy was established, and Su Dingfang and others quickly worked out their own defense strategy.
Yangqu has experienced war and is rebuilding, and it is difficult to resist the enemy. Moreover, to the west of Yangqu, out of Jingcheng, the terrain gradually opens up, which is conducive to the development of the team. Therefore, the Jizhou army cannot be allowed to reach Yangqu, and the enemy must be kept in Jingcheng.
Although Jizhou increased its troops and occupied the advantage of troops, the roads in Jingcheng were long and narrow, which was not convenient for the army to deploy.
Choose the deep and narrow strengths, drag the enemy team, and wait for the opportunity to strike.
Relying on Yuxian County and Wolf Meng. In the west of the two counties, five miles and ten miles, each build a camp, one virtual and one real, block the road to the west, make use of the natural topography of Jingcheng, and form a joint encirclement formation with the camp and the two cities of Yuxian Wolf and Meng, and strive to annihilate the enemy in the encirclement.
This kind of deployment will keep the enemy at bay as much as possible and reduce the impact of the war on the annexed states. The two cities and two battalions cooperated in defending each other, and the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it.
The specific arrangements are that Su Dingfang guards Wolf Meng, Li Xiucheng guards Yu County, and the two military camps are garrisoned by Man Gui and Xu Da respectively.
Su Dingfang looked at Xu Da and said: "When Tiande was stationed in Yangqu, he deliberately revealed suspicious soldiers in the mountains and forests of the north and south, and this plan can still be imitated. ”
Long live the history of life, and Gao Pet each led an elite soldier and ambushed in the mountains and forests of the north and south. At the same time, flags were placed in the mountains and forests, appearing and disappearing, disturbing the enemy's judgment. At the right time, the ambush rushed out to disrupt the enemy's formation.
Hearing that there was going to be a war again, Cheng Yanjin was excited. However, after waiting for a long time, he didn't arrange a task for himself, and Cheng Yanjin couldn't sit still. "So what am I doing? Don't forget Lao Cheng! ”
"Haha, how could you forget General Zhijie." Su Dingfang turned his head to look at Liu Mang, and Liu Mang nodded. Su Dingfang understood, and ordered Cheng to bite the gold belt to be good at mountain warfare stations, through dense forests, detour behind the enemy's back, and wait for an opportunity to harass the Jizhou grain team.
"Hey, it's so good!" Lao Cheng is beautiful, "Last time I picked up Lao Hua, Lao Hua pointed us to a path that few people know, and this time I will take this road!" ”
Lao Cheng Meizi gave the order, and then turned his head to Liu Mang, turning his cute eyes, as if he had something to say.
Liu Mang knew his thoughts and said, "Take Pei Yuanshao with you and give him a chance to atone for his crimes." ”
"Howler!" Lao Cheng straightened his chest, "If the rabbit cub is disobedient again, Lao Cheng will kill him with his own hands!" ”
According to Su Dingfang's idea, for the sake of safety, the young masters Liu Mang and Liu Bowen should retreat to Yangqu. But Liu Mang was reluctant to miss such an opportunity, insisted on staying on the front line, and asked to be stationed in Xu Da's battalion.
Su Dingfang and others repeatedly persuaded him, and Liu Bowen also cautiously reminded that when the lord was stationed in the camp, the generals were prone to feel constrained, and they were afraid of the danger of the lord's security, and it was difficult to perform.
Liu Mang no longer insisted, but he still asked to return to Yangqu after observing Xu Da's troops camping.
Su Dingfang had no choice but to agree.
The generals received orders and prepared separately.
On the Jingcheng front, there are nearly 6,000 of our own army, which is not small. The various departments are deployed and guarded, and in the narrow wells and passes, they go back and forth, and there is also a feeling of a sea of people. And the army won one after another, and this time it fought a strong enemy again, and the morale was particularly high.
Liu Mang saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.
And what Liu Mang watched most carefully was how Xu Da commanded the camp.
The location of the village was chosen by Su Dingfang a long time ago, and there was no need for Xu Da to bother with the location. And the team of soldiers led by Xu Da is mainly composed of the Yellow Turban Descendant and the Jinyang soldiers. Although the training has not been for a long time, it has begun to take shape.
Under the command of several team leaders, each Wush worked together in an orderly and efficient manner.
As the commander of the headquarters, Xu Da didn't need to ask too much.
Liu Mang was accompanied by Xu Da, standing on a high place to observe, and couldn't help nodding secretly, Xu Da is really a good material for leading soldiers.
Looking at the military camp that was gradually taking shape, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Liu Mang's mind! "Tiande! The day before yesterday in Yangqu, I had a feeling that this camp was a little similar to Mr. Yuwen's Yangqu reconstruction site! ”
"Congratulations to my lord!" Xu Da forked his hand and said, "My subordinates have observed Mr. Yuwen's masterpiece, and their feelings are also here. ”
"Oh? Tell me more about it! ”
"My subordinates observed the Yangqu construction site and felt that Mr. Yuwen organized the construction, and his planning and deployment were really in line with the art of war. Building a camp is the same as building a city, only the difference between difficulty and simplicity, but the essence is the same. ”
What Liu Mang realized is also this.
"Mr. Yuwen's plan to rebuild the city is more complicated than the construction of the camp organized by his subordinates, but the implementation is faster and more efficient. In the future, I hope to integrate Mr. Yuwen's method into the art of war and tactics, so as to make our army more sharp and indestructible. ”
"Quick, tell me more about it." Liu Mang simply squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of wooden stick, and handed it to Xu Da.
Xu Da took the wooden stick and took Yu Wenkai's organization to rebuild Yangqu as an example, and explained while drawing on the ground.
Yu Wenkai's Yangqu construction site, the location and quantity of each pile of wood and stone seem to be messy, but in fact they are extremely exquisite.
The scaffolding erected for repairing or erecting the city walls is also very different from that of ordinary craftsmen.
These seemingly messy and seemingly unconventional arrangements are taken together to be extremely scientific and efficient.
Xu Da simply folded a few wooden sticks as wood, and Liu Mang picked up a few small stones to serve as a stone pile.
Xu Da is at the mercy of "wood" and "stone", these wood, which is needed for construction here, are placed here, which is not in the way, and the distance is the closest, saving handling time and greatly improving efficiency.
Not only that, but when the construction was completed, the wood and stone were just used up. The place where the materials were stacked has become an empty space, and the next construction site is precisely these newly emptied sites, and the materials needed for construction here are stacked in places that are not in the way and extremely convenient.
"Oh! No wonder! Liu Mang sighed, "When I entered Yangqu City, although I saw construction everywhere in the city and materials piled up everywhere, there was no feeling of crowding and blockage!" ”
"yes!" Xu Da also admires Yu Wenkai.
Yu Wenkai was not familiar with the art of war, but his planning and construction and organizational arrangements were also consistent with the "Five Things of Soldiers" in "The Art of War" -- the so-called "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law".
Xu Da sighed: "The art of war is the way, the art of craftsmanship is also the way, and the way is connected with the way." The method used by Mr. Yuwen is in line with the articles of "Initial Planning", "Military Formation", "Troop Strength" and "Marching" in "Sun Tzu", and his subordinates have benefited a lot! ”
Liu Mang stared at the sketch drawn by Xu Da, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, although he was not as deep as Xu Da's understanding, but after Xu Da's interpretation, he finally had a feeling of enlightenment about "The Art of War"!
