Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Last year's floods hit the north and south banks of the lower reaches of the river hard, and this year's drought has spread more widely, but the most severe areas are still concentrated on the north and south banks of the river, the reason is very simple, last year's victims did not receive effective relief, coupled with the rise and fall of the flag rebels, leading to starvation all over the wilderness, the lives of the people, and the large fields on both sides of the river are barren, so take a step back and say, even if these areas do not suffer from drought this year, the shape is just as bad, and the advent of the drought is equivalent to making matters worse. The people on both sides of the river were completely pushed into the abyss of death.
The victims were desperate, either rebelling or fleeing the famine, but rebellion requires strength and a good body, while the old and weak women and children did not even have the capital to rebel, so they had to leave their hometowns to flee the famine and beg. However, the absolute ban on desertion by the local government not only endangers social stability, but also damages the face of the local bureaucrats, and also endangers the careers of the bureaucrats.
The victims of the disaster are very pitiful, there is no way to go to heaven, there is no way to enter the earth, so that the heavens should not be allowed, and the earth is not spiritual. At the last moment, the Southwest Lu Volunteer Alliance suddenly entered the Central Plains, destroyed the "cage" set up by the local government and the aristocratic bureaucrats, and gave the victims a way to escape, but the victims were very weak and powerless, and the Southwest Lu Volunteer Alliance became their only hope for survival, and the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance had no strength to save the victims at all, and they had to do their best to get rid of this huge "burden", otherwise, they would be crushed to death by this "burden".
The Righteous Army Alliance was invincible and invincible on the front line of Ji and He, destroying the local government, inflicting heavy losses on the local nobles and bureaucrats, and freeing the victims of Henan from the "cage", but did not successfully escape from prison. For the victims of the Henan disaster, their vitality lies in the Gyeonggi region, which is the closest to them, and in the wealthy Yingru region, which has not been hit by the disaster, they can only get food, find a way to survive, and only by fleeing there can they get food, find a way to survive, and survive. Of course, they can also flee to Liang County and Xuzhou, but the Southwest Lu Rebels are about to enter Liang County, and Liang County is about to become a battlefield full of smoke, and Xuzhou is too far away, and they have already starved to death before they can reach the place.
However, to enter Gyeonggi, it is necessary to climb over the Tianjian Pass, and there are natural dangers behind the Tianji Pass, as well as Xingyang, Hujiao, Heishi and other dangerous passes, the Righteous Alliance itself cannot kill it, let alone the unarmed victims, and to enter Yingchuan County, it is necessary to cross the five waterways of Bianshui, Suishui, Tongji Canal, Lianshui and Caishui, which is also difficult for the victims to go to the blue sky.
If we compare the Gyeonggi and Yingru regions to the places of survival, and the Henan disaster areas to cages, then the obstacles that separate the two are the "high walls" of the prisons, and only by crossing this high wall can the victims enter the place of survival and survive.
There must be a door in the prison, and as long as the Rebel Alliance opens this door, the victims of the disaster in Henan will be able to successfully escape from prison and enter the place of survival. It is too dangerous to follow the rebels against the government and the Weifu army, especially the old and weak women and children, not only can not help, but will become a burden, so it is certain that as long as the rebels open the door of the "prison", countless victims will rush out of the "prison" frantically, and will no longer follow the rebels to be enemies of the government, and the rebels will take the opportunity to get rid of this huge "burden" that will explode at any time, turn from passive to active, travel lightly, and advance and retreat without worry.
Many times, "being in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where to go", and they can't see the direction of progress through the fog, and Li Fengyun's few words of understatement have cleared the haze shrouded in the hearts of the heroes, allowing them to clearly see the hope of victory. This is strength, what you can't see, people can see, and the problems you can't solve, people can solve them, and you can't be convinced.
Zhen Baoche was like an initiation, and in an instant, he saw the direction of the future battle, and his confidence skyrocketed, "Ming Gong, I will complete the reorganization of the Xuanfeng Army overnight, and I will cross Jishui early tomorrow morning and kill Junyi directly." ”
Zhen Baoche was in a good mood, and he admired Li Fengyun's strategy even more, with a mouth, he even changed his title, and called Li Fengyun "Ming Gong", in fact, he apologized for the impulse just now, after all, from now on, the two sides are eating in a bowl, they must trust each other and cooperate, if there are always contradictions, it will not be beneficial to both parties. Cooperation has two benefits, and two injuries are divided, it is a very simple truth, and Li Fengyun is now helping Zhen Baoche to grow, and he is still giving him benefits on the surface, what reason does he have to refuse?
When everyone heard Zhen Baoche's words, they immediately quieted down, no longer whispering in twos and threes, and all looked at Li Fengyun intently, waiting for him to come up with an attack strategy.
Junyi is a historical ancient city, an important town in the Central Plains, the capital of Wei during the Warring States Period, after war, suffered from disasters, and now the style is still the same, standing majestically on the land of the Central Plains, the first town in the eastern part of the Central Plains for the Gyeonggi Tianqian Barrier, and undertaking the important task of guarding the gateway of Gyeonggi and protecting the waterway of Tongji Canal. Junyi is also the Central Plains Water 6 transportation hub is located, extending in all directions, of which Bianshui, Suishui, Lianshui and Caishui and Tongji Canal intersection are in its territory, and if Henan disaster victims want to enter Yingchuan, their shortcut is to cross the Tongji Canal from the direction of Junyi, and enter Yingchuan by 6 Road, which not only saves time and distance than crossing five waterways into Yingchuan, but also greatly reduces the danger on the road.
Therefore, Junyi is actually the "prison gate" that the Righteous Alliance must open for the victims of the disaster in Henan, and because of its importance in the Central Plains, Junyi's city is not only tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also has heavy troops. Although it is not clear how many garrisons there are in Junyi City, one thing is certain: with the current combat strength of the Rebel Alliance, it is impossible to conquer Junyi City.
In this case, what kind of strategy will Li Fengyun adopt to help the victims of the Henan disaster "escape from prison"?
"You should have all heard the story of Sun Bin horse racing." Li Fengyun looked at everyone and said, "In the face of a strong enemy, we can only avoid the real and make a false one, while containing the enemy's main force, and patiently looking for fighters. Sun Tzu said: 'The shape of a soldier avoids reality and strikes at the void. In the next battlefield of Tongjiqu, our main strategy for attacking the enemy was to avoid the real and attack the weak. ”
"What does Ming Gong mean to avoid the strong enemy in the direction of Xingyang, go south to attack Liang County, storm the Yongqiu and Chenliu lines with the main force, and open a passage into Yingchuan from five waterways such as Bianshui?" Xu Shiren immediately asked, "Although Yongqiu and Chenliu are more than 300 miles away from Songcheng, the capital of Liang County, they are very close to Junyi, dozens of miles away, and the officers and soldiers can reach it quickly whether they take the waterway or the 6th road." The officers and armies of the three cities will support each other, and they will be able to build a solid line of defense, so that we will not be able to start. ”
"Governor, there are four Yingyang Mansions in Liang County, all of which are on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and their garrison strength is very strong." Meng Haigong also questioned, "In a certain opinion, whether it is in the direction of Xingyang or Liangjun, the strength of the official army has surpassed ours, so as long as we attack the Jiji Canal, no matter which section we fight, we will encounter a strong enemy, and we can't talk about avoiding the truth." ”
"You're right." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "Our strength is weak, the elite is limited, in this difficult situation, if we want to achieve the set goal, we must not go head-to-head with the official army, so we must avoid the real and attack the weak." What I mean by avoiding reality is not only to avoid a decisive battle with the enemy's main force, but also to avoid attacking the city. The battle of attacking the fortified could not be fought, the number of officers and troops on the front line of Tongji Canal was too large, and the garrison force was too strong, and the strength of the official army of Jiyin was not comparable at all. We can attack the city and pull out the village on the front line of Ji and He, but when we reach the front line of Tongji Canal, this kind of thing must not be done. What is the purpose of our killing of the Tongji Canal? It was the plundering of the Tongji Canal. ”
Li Fengyun raised his hand and waved it twice in the air to attract everyone's attention, and then solemnly emphasized, "Remember, we are plundering the Tongji Canal, and we are plundering the Tongji Canal in a purposeful, organized and large-scale manner, not interrupting the Tongji Canal and blocking the Tongji Canal. ”
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, understanding. If the waterway of the Tongji Canal is interrupted, forcing the ships transporting supplies from the south to the north to stop, then it will inevitably affect the Eastern Expedition, so that the eastern capital will be anxious, and a large number of troops will be sent to defend the Tongji Canal, and the thieves will be suppressed, and then the righteous army will have to retreat, which is equivalent to shooting themselves in the foot, not only can not achieve the goal before the war, but also affected countless Henan victims.
"What I call attacking the void is actually looting the Tongji Canal, not looking for fighters to attack the officers and soldiers." Li Fengyun said, "I emphasize again that you put your mind on looting the Tongji Canal, not on attacking the officers and soldiers. Of course, the officers and troops must also fight, but they must fight only when the fighters are very good, we have an absolute advantage, we have absolute certainty, and we will not cause serious damage to us, otherwise we will resolutely not fight. The stupid thing of killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred, no matter what. ”
Huo Xiaohan couldn't help it again, and shouted at Li Fengyun, "Chief, the officers and troops are on both sides of the Tongji Canal, if we resolutely don't fight with the officials and troops, then how can we loot the Tongji Canal?" ”
Li Fengyun smiled but did not speak.
Everyone saw that Li Fengyun was in his chest, and the more curious they became.
Zhen Baoche bowed his hand to Li Fengyun, "What will be the plan of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Battle of the Hundred Regiments." Li Fengyun spit out four words.
Battle of the Hundred Regiments? Take a hundred regiments out to fight? One hundred regiments, that is, 20,000 people, this not only used the elite main force of the righteous army, the seven reserve troops, but also used part of the newly expanded army of the heroes of all walks of life, which can be regarded as doing their best. Everyone was puzzled and waited for Li Fengyun's explanation.
"A certain person said, the righteous war is substitute training, so this time the Tongji Canal was looted, and all the armies went together, so it was called the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. Now we have more than 50,000 men and more than 250 regiments, and in this operation, all the regiments and brigades are spread out along the entire line of the Tongji Canal. For example, if one regiment is responsible for plundering, then the other regiments must help it contain the enemy, cooperate in covering its safe retreat, and so on. ”
Li Fengyun paused for a moment, his eyes slowly passed over the faces of everyone, and after seeing that the heroes basically understood his words, he continued, "The enemy is strong and I am weak, please be flexible in the process of attacking Tongji Canal, you must use your troops flexibly, you must pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, use your strengths and attack weaknesses, save yourself in battle, show yourself, and don't fight with the officers and soldiers because of impulse." ”
Everyone in the tent now knew Li Fengyun's intentions, no wonder he led countless victims to the front line of the Tongji Canal, which turned out to be a tactic of beating the sea of people. No matter how strong the official army is, in the face of the righteous soldiers who are mixed with countless victims, they can only look up to the sky and sigh, helpless, and helpless.
