Chapter 168: Shang Ying and Sima Cuo (2)

In the face of these words, Sima Cuo just lowered his head quietly, but still didn't say a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Martingale makes you think about the reasons for the defeat in the previous war, and how to correct it in the future and how to make up for your own shortcomings."

Approaching the new year, the branches on the side have faintly added some green.

On the branches, the dead leaves of last year have survived to the present, but they have finally been blown to the ground by this cold wind.

Shang Ying looked at Sima Cuo solemnly, and he didn't wait to think about it, Sima Cuo, who was full of bitter thoughts, said something, and he continued: "You can tell Martingale that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. But martingale can also ask you, why did they win, but why did they lose? ”

That sentence was plain but real, and it was more uncomfortable to listen to than the angry scolding, and then it came into Sima Cuo's ears at this moment, but it made him, a young man who never knew how to bow his head, lower his toes and be arrogant.

Walking to a stone table in a nearby pavilion and sitting down, Shang Ying quietly went out with a bundle of cloth in his sleeve. At a cursory glance, there should be a lot of things recorded on it.

At this time, Sima Cuo asked people to go to see the tea, and he quietly walked to the other side of the stone table and sat down.

At this moment, Shang Ying just glanced at it lightly, and then quietly opened the bundle of cloth, and handed it to Sima Cuo for the first one that recorded a little strategy of the art of war, "To let you do this, it's just to collect your heart, but now it seems that your heart not only does not accept it, but on the contrary, you hate Martingale a little." These are the things you can look at at at your leisure. ”

Slowly put the cloth in front of Sima Cuo, but at the moment of withdrawing his hand, Shang Ying slowly asked, "How should your bravery compare to Zhao Yuan of Zhao State?" ”

"A little bit better!" When answering, Sima Cuo was still a little thoughtful.

"Slightly better? That is, the gap is not big. After a chuckle, Shang Ying then asked: "If our army is besieged, our defenders only have 10,000, but the enemy has 30,000 troops, and the enemy army is like a bamboo, and the momentum is flourishing, what should you do?" ”

"The enemy army is three times as good as mine, but the siege is still much worse, even if it is a small city, as long as the defenders in the city are sufficient. Since the morale of the army has been greatly increased, I can lure the enemy army to attack the city, and as long as I am well prepared, I should have an eighty percent chance of winning this battle. ”

"Well, what if it's a big city? For example, Xianyang. Moreover, the enemy army did not attack the city, but attacked and harassed in the middle of the night, and our army and the people in the city were full of complaints. If the siege is not lifted, the city will be in chaos, and if the enemy takes advantage of the exhaustion of our troops to attack the city, the consequences will not even be fifty percent of the chances. What should you do when the king wants you to find a way out of the siege? ”

"This?"

This question made Sima Cuo a little confused. Because judging from the current war situation, things are not in their favor in any way.

"The last general doesn't know, or he can tell the soldiers to fight to the death, or he can break the net. After all, if my Qin State really arrives at that time, I am afraid that the national strength has already ......."

What it was, he didn't say, because no matter what the truth was, even if it really came to that day, he couldn't say it under the constraints of the etiquette of this era.

But after hesitating for a while, Sima Cuo still said in a straightforward manner, "After all, you can't defend it, instead of sitting and waiting in the city to die, why not fight to the death and live on it!" If it fails, it will be a helpless move......"

As a general, Sima Cuo is a powerful general carried by Shang Ying, in addition to assisting Shang Ying in changing the law and saving Shang Ying. Sima Cuo's combat effectiveness is definitely not low, and in the current era, his combat effectiveness can be said to be among the top three, but no one can say why he really wants to rank up.

At this time, he confessed, although it was not a bright thing, but he still bowed his head in shame.

"Hehe......" The corners of his mouth showed a faint laugh, and Shang Ying pushed the rest of the cloth to Sima Cuo, "You fought bravely, from the time you trained the dead, the method of throwing away the armor, and dealing with the heavy soldiers of the Wei State with light agility, this method is a risky move, aside from the effect, it can be seen from this matter that you are unwilling to be controlled by others, and would rather take risks." And now there is a person who is more willing to take risks, and you may be able to take a look at his affairs. Because this man is not only brave, but also strategic. ”

Looking at the countries today, except for Sun Bin's step-by-step method of using troops, no one has ever let Shang Ying praise anything.

But this time, Shang Ying was able to comment on a person like this, which was enough to see that this person was extraordinary, at least, Sima mistakenly thought so.

But when he opened something and looked at it, he found that the thick pile of cloth was full of things about a person.

That is, starting from Wu Ming's defeat of the Qin army at Linjin Pass. To this day, the guards are the girders.

Although many people don't understand the abandonment of Jingfeng City, in the end, the contradictions between the two sides were used, and the contradictions between Zhao Jun's eyes, monarchs and ministers, and even the people in the city intensified. These factors, which were supposed to give the defenders a headache, were used by him one by one.

Before they knew it, the people were angry. Uncontrolled, voluntary rumors are much more useful than deliberately arranged. In the past, in order to prevent the enemy outside the city from knowing that the city was in chaos, in order not to let the enemy know the extent of chaos in the city, and whether it was possible to attack the city, this kind of thing would be suppressed without exception.

Gradually, Sima Cuo's face began to be a little surprised, but in the end, he faintly couldn't understand many questions.

It was also at this time that Shang Ying, after taking a sip of fragrant tea, continued: "Expand my weakness, give up the city wall in my hand that is about to cease to be an advantage, and arrange five thousand soldiers in advance to wait for work, on the surface I was forced to fight, but everything became a variable in his hands silently. It is said that the 5,000 soldiers who were waiting for work did not even know about the King of Wei in advance. It was a seamless affair. ”

Of course, apart from those soldiers, Shang Ying didn't know about the phenomenon of Wu Ming using white ash on the battlefield. Although this point was only used in the end, it still played a great role in the total annihilation of the Zhao army.

Give up what seems to be an advantage in your hand, and instead magnify your weakness in the hands of others to achieve some of your own goals. Although this method is not very clever, sometimes it is a headache to think about it.

"All you lack is strategy. Although the national strength of Qi has increased in recent years, Qi Guo's technical attack, in the final analysis, is not as good as Wei's military soldiers, and the reason why it was able to win both times was Sun Bin's strategy. Whether you can realize it or not is up to you. ”
