On the night of May 2, 1003. Legion's Horde.

Hou Jian frowned deeply, his eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at the surprisingly young school soldier in front of him.

Next to this young school soldier, there was a hundred miles of bundle that was equally surprised and inexplicably sad. His eight-character beard trembled, and when he saw that Hou Jian was still sitting behind the handsome case after he had said it again, he reluctantly said loudly: "Palace Shuai, this is the Great Han Bohai Marquis!" ”

Hou Jian reacted at this time, quickly got up, bypassed the handsome case, and bowed in front of Shen Yun: "Oh, in the next big Han out of the cloud Bohou Jian, I have seen the Marquis of Bohai!" ”

Hou Jian's official salute has nothing to do with military salute.

Shen Yun's face was unwavering, and there were still blood stains on the armor of the school soldier on his body, and Hou Jian felt a little unnatural in his heart-this Bohai Hou didn't live well in Bohai County, why did he come here to make a mess? It looks like it's still going into battle and fighting! If you accidentally die in battle, the emperor and Duke Hu will blame it, will it be yours or mine?

I have to say that Hou Jian still has some understanding of the Bohai Hou who suddenly appeared, and it is precisely because of this understanding that the complaints in his heart are also greater. Of course, in the official face, although Hou Jian was wearing armor, he still had to salute the marquis with a higher title than him first.

Shen Yun raised his hand, but did not return Hou Jian's official salute, but clenched his right arm into a fist and crossed his chest, and made a solemn military salute, his face was like water, and his voice was like iron: "Palace Marshal, do you know how many Pao Ze brothers have died today?" ”

Hou Jian was stunned, straightened his waist, and his face was originally a little bitter and hateful, with doubts, and seeing that Shen Yun did not return the official salute, he also raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Why did Hou Ye ask such a question?" The casualty list has not been handed in today, how do I know? ”

"Okay, I'll tell the palace marshal!" Shen Yun took a step forward and spread out his hands. The palms that were already slightly rough were full of blood, and there were a few traces of blood that had not dried up flowing between the fingerprints, "In the battle of Shiliping today, our army lost a total of 2,742 people, and together with yesterday, our army lost 4,504 people!" ”

The voice smashed into Hou Jian's heart like a golden stone. He felt a pain in his heart, but his face was still bitter and hateful, his eyes were clear, and he asked, "How do you know?" ”

Shen Yun's face sank, and he suddenly showed a miserable smile. Looking at his hands, he said, "I wrap each corpse with my own hands!" The marshal said, "Why do I know?! ”

After the miserable laughter, Shen Yun raised his head again, looked at Hou Jian with blazing eyes, and his voice gradually became louder: "In today's battle, our army initially dispatched the troops of the two towns. And the enemy army actually has four towns to fight! As soon as the confrontation began, our army fell into a disadvantage. And the marshal of the apse ordered additional troops. Almost all members of the former division moved. After fighting hard for half a day, the sound of killing shook the sky! At dusk, the enemy had another division to participate in the battle, and the blood flowed like a river in Shiliping, and our army was almost defeated! The former master robes Ze She, forgetting life and death, and fighting in front. The scouts galloped in front of me, but until the troops were withdrawn, the palace commander did not have the slightest order to increase the troops, I wonder why? Could it be that the palace marshal really wants to treat these tens of thousands of robes as an outcast? ”

Shen Yun's question can be described as extremely rude. On this battlefield. Hou Jian is the supreme commander, not to mention that he Shen Yun is just a marquis, even if he is a prince, he can't question the supreme commander of the first army like this!

Hou Jian had completely sunk his face and said, "Shen Yun, what do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say that if the palace marshal wants to use the lives of tens of thousands of robes of the front division and the rear division to contain the enemy army, so that you can escape with the middle division, it will definitely not work!" Shen Yun shouted without showing weakness.

"Bastard, what are you? Actually talking to Ben Shuai like this! Hou Jianqi's blood-filled pupil man roared smoothly.

Shen Yun snorted coldly and said, "What kind of identity do you say Ben Hou has?!" ”

"......" Hou Jian was silent for a while.

This Shen Yun didn't play cards according to common sense at all, he just gave him an official salute, and he responded with a military salute. Now he is questioned as a soldier, but he calls himself Benhou, this, this is just nonsense!

Hou Jian was really angry in his heart, but he had nothing to say.

Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Baili Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hou Ye is angry, and the palace marshal is angry!" Master Hou, in fact, in today's battle, the palace marshal didn't want the former master to die at the front. Instead, there was a new military report, and the enemy in front of Shiliping was no longer the Sixth Army of the Yue Clan, but the Fourth Army in the west, and there was also a part of the Eighth Army Corps. Before discovering the movements of the Sixth Legion of the Yue Clan, the palace marshal did not dare to give an order easily, so he ......"

Shen Yun was stunned. He didn't know. The main reason why he was so indignant was that he saw the tragic situation of today's battle. Although the special section did not participate in the war, the corpses that were constantly moved down from the front line still had the greatest impact on his soul. Especially when he saw the rangers of the former division who were urgently asking for help walking by like water, while the legion tent was slow to give the order to send reinforcements, Shen Yun was almost angry.

Any person, any soldier, will have a grudge against a general who will not save him when he sees death, right? This is the case with Shen Yun. Just after nightfall, Baili Shu, who got the news, personally came to Shen Yun in the special department and took him to the legion's tent, so there was the scene at the beginning.

Seeing that Shen Yun was also silent, Hou Jian took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master Hou, you are also a soldier, you should know that the battlefield is not a river and lake, let alone a street fight. The commander also saw that the sun was approaching, and it was impossible for the enemy to continue fighting after dark, so he reluctantly let the former division continue to fight. Although there were heavy casualties, it finally survived today, didn't it? ”

As the dignified commander of the legion, Hou Jian's words can be said to have lowered his identity and posture. Shen Yun was not stunned, he had to dwell on this matter, but when he thought of those robes that he had wrapped in his own hands, there was always an inexplicable anger in his heart, he thought of what the fifth company said yesterday, and couldn't help asking: "Palace Shuai, do you really want to retreat?" ”

Hou Jian was stunned, looked at Baili Shu, and didn't understand for a while, only a few people knew about this matter, why did even a small school soldier know about it? If that's the case, won't his previous plan fall through?

Baili Shu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Hou Jian's ear: "The commander of the first company under the command of the first song of the Bohai Hou Nai's special compilation department, after the fifth company learned the news of retreat yesterday, he asked the Bohai Hou if he wanted to retreat despite the big tent of the legion, so he ......."

Hou Jian suddenly realized, then looked at Shen Yun with his eyes, and then looked at Baili Shu.

Baili Shu understood, and continued to say softly: "The Fifth Company knew that the identity of the Marquis of Bohai was important, so it did not tell Major Xu of the Special Editorial Department, but only told the lowly one. Oh. By the way, there is also a Huainan Hou Shizi under the command of the fifth company! ”

When Hou Jian heard this, he suddenly had two heads and two big.

As a Han general, in fact, the most headache is this kind of thing. The children of the nobility (and even the nobles themselves) secretly join the army, wanting to learn drama and literature to make a splash, and then return home, but they often find the commander when they encounter danger and reveal their identities. At this time, the boss could not ignore it, so he could only grit his teeth and send soldiers to defend it. Those who don't reveal their identities until death are better, and what they are afraid of is these soft-boned egg-wrapping aristocrats.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the military history of the Han Dynasty after the Holy Ancestor. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon.

The most famous is that in 430 of the Han Dynasty, Jin Gongma Chao was edicted to lead his troops to the west. After a major battle, one of the divisions of the Western Expedition strayed into the enemy's flank and was surrounded in a grove on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea. At that time, the Han army, which was only more than 1,000 people left, was ready to be shrouded in horse leather, and wanted to go out of the forest and die with the enemy. At this moment, a soldier dressed in a school uniform suddenly approached the commander. Reveal his identity - it is actually Liu Shu, the seventh prince of the Han Dynasty who was ordered by the Holy Ancestor Emperor to train with the army!

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes. But later generations can imagine the wonderful expression on the face of the division commander at that time - it must have been like eating a fly.

Of course. In the end, this partial division was not completely wiped out. Ma Chao, the prince of Jin, who had long known the identity of the Seven Princes, led the army to arrive at the first time and rescued the Seven Princes. And until the end of the battle, the enemy army didn't know that they almost caught the prince of the Han Dynasty, which made them regret it for the rest of their lives!

But because of this incident, the Holy Ancestor, who originally intended to pass the throne to the Seventh Prince, changed his mind and finally passed the throne to the Fourth Prince, Liu Cheng. The reason is that the Seven Princes are afraid of death. Not enough to take on the throne. And Liu Cheng, who is also the fourth prince, also encountered the same danger later, but because of the experience of the Seven Emperor Brothers, he would rather die than reveal his identity, and finally killed him.

It should be said. In the selection of the heir to the throne, the Holy Ancestor Emperor adopted an extremely cruel method, that is, natural elimination. His old man once stipulated that every prince must enlist in the army when he reaches adulthood, and he is absolutely not allowed to reveal his identity. Once exposed, the right to inherit the throne is lost. At the same time, he also lost the prince, who could only die as a rich man in a corner of the empire.

Of course, the identity of the prince is absolutely secret, and generally only the commander and a few direct generals will know. And until the prince was discharged from the army as an adult, their identities were not known to the public. Usually going to school, the princes also enter ordinary schools through the secret arrangement of the secret guards, and go to school with ordinary people. Even fighting or being beaten like ordinary people, these situations happen. This is also the reason why Shen Yun's father, as well as Hu Gonggong and others, can be friendly with the current emperor.

In order to ensure that the prince will not grow normally due to the intervention of external factors (such as the imperial concubine, the queen or even the emperor's relatives), the Holy Ancestor, who has always opposed redundant officials and redundant personnel, has set up countless supervision systems in the raising of the prince.

The effect is obvious, the Han Empire has been inherited for five hundred years, and there has never been a faint monarch!

Even if there were so many emperors with special personalities, they were definitely not to the point of being out of the ordinary, for example, Emperor Han Ledi (Note 1), who loved to play for 500 years in the Han Dynasty, is a typical example of many emperors, almost faint. However, because of the cabinet system and the many institutions left by the Holy Ancestor before him, it was ensured that even if such an emperor was released, the empire would still function normally, and there would not be a chaotic situation like the Ming Dynasty.

Influenced by the way the royal family educated the prince, many nobles followed suit. However, the royal family's education methods were top secret, and the nobles only scratched the surface. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the children who are educated according to their fur are not all excellent.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Hou Jian heard that in addition to a Bohai Hou, there was also a Huainan Hou Shizi, and his face suddenly looked bad. What's more, Hou Jian knows that although Huainan Hou once had four sons, he is now the only son in this world......

Shen Yun saw them muttering for a long time, and said impatiently: "Palace Marshal, if you really want to escape, Ben Hou has decided to stay here and live and die with His Palace's robe Ze!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Hou Jian and Baili Shulei were immediately scorched on the outside - what is this? Threatened?

Baili Shu's expression was a little weird, and he said in a snort: "Master Hou, we don't have the army of the Royal Highness." ”

"Huh?" Shen Yun looked at Baili Shu strangely. "Don't you want the former master and the rear master to be sent to death, and then escape by yourself?"

Hou Jian couldn't cry or laugh: "Who said this?" Is my Hou Jian's reputation so unbearable? ”

Shen Yun also said curiously: "Aren't you a 'rabbit general' (Note 2)?" ”

Hou Jian smiled even more bitterly: "Master Hou, although I am known as the 'rabbit general', have you ever heard that Hou is a 'rabbit' who gave up his robe and ran away by himself?" ”

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and it was rumored that Hou Jian ran when he saw the enemy was strong, and rushed when he saw the enemy was weak, whether he ran or rushed, but he really didn't hear that he left his robe alone and ran away. Even the last time we pursued the Huns. The friendly forces are attacking, and he is retreating, and he does not say that the withdrawal is too outrageous, but it can only be said that it is not as fierce as the friendly attack. This retreat effectively pinned down the enemy and finally annihilated the enemy.

Let's put it this way. Hou Jian or the forerunner of "guerrilla warfare"?

"Guerrilla warfare?" Hou Jian heard the three words that Shen Yun muttered at the end, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Hou Ye's summary is incisive. Not bad. Ben Shuai uses guerrilla warfare! ”

Shen Yun looked at the excited Hou Jian, and couldn't help but think of the Wawang Meiji, and thought, wouldn't this also be a traverser, right? I couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Dare to ask the palace marshal, have you ever heard that 'the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is stationed in me to disturb me.'" When the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy retreats, I chase'? ”

Hou Jian shook his head in confusion, and Shen Yun suddenly let out a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. But then he was so frightened by Hou Jian's shout that he almost turned his back on it.

"Huh. Hou Ye is so knowledgeable! These four mantras are really the essence of this handsome guerrilla warfare! Hou Jian's eyes lit up at the moment, looking at Shen Yun's expression was like seeing a naked/female, which made Shen Yun feel that this "rabbit" was about to transfer to another "rabbit".

Seeing that Hou Jian was so excited, Shen Yun had to say carefully: "Palace Marshal, this guerrilla warfare is certainly exquisite, but haven't you noticed the use environment of guerrilla warfare?" ”

"What environment?"

Now Hou Jian was already in excitement, and the look in his eyes was about to turn into substance. Looking at Shen Yun, his gaze was not as irritated as if he had seen trouble before, but with a strong sense of appreciation.

For a long time, the tactics adopted by Hou Jian have been criticized by the world, partly because they are not in line with the main trend, and even more because they have not formed a systematic tactical theory. After all, Hou Jian was only a corps commander of the Han Empire, and he had not yet reached the height of Commissar Mao, so naturally he could not summarize such an incisive theory.

Now, Shen Yun's short four sentences have voiced Hou Jian's heart, and he suddenly has a feeling of meeting a confidant. If it weren't for Shen Yun's identity being placed there, Hou Jian couldn't wait to hold him in his arms and kiss him fiercely.

But what Hou Jian didn't expect was that the most basic environmental background of this set of tactical theories was that the enemy was strong and I was weak! At the beginning, the Mao Committee was forced to come up with guerrilla warfare, and it was impossible to win the Japanese on the frontal battlefield, so this set of tactics was used in desperation. After the end of the three major battles, Mao Juju, who was sitting in more than ten northern provinces and had millions of troops, let alone guerrilla warfare, directly "crossed the river with a million heroes" and "it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell his name and learn from the overlord".

In the current world, the Han Empire is the first power, only it bullies people, why do you need to fight guerrilla warfare with others? The Yue's people play this set with the big Han. This is the reason why Hou Jian's theory is not popular.

Of course, there is another basic condition for this set of theories, that is, local warfare. It is a tactic that can only exert its might when the enemy is strong and we are weak, and when we are invaded by others, we can exert our might when we fight on our own soil. More on that later.

Shen Yun carefully told Hou Jian about the background environment required for "guerrilla warfare", and Hou Jian suddenly frowned when he heard it, and suddenly stopped talking, as if he had a lot of things to say, but was interrupted by Shen Yun constantly.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent, and a staff officer hurriedly ran in and said to Hou Jian excitedly: "Palace Marshal, the time has come!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The so-called timing is that the Han army has detected that the Sixth Legion of the Yueshi has been transferred to the west, and the Yue's Legion in the south has gathered three legions. For the Han army, which had only detected the number of four enemy legions, this was a good time to break through to the east!

When the time came, Hou Jian did not sneak around anymore, but directly beat the drum and gathered the generals, ready to deploy.

During the time of waiting for the general, Baili Shu told Shen Yun about Hou Jian's plan.

The total cavalry of the Third Army was more than 25,000 people, and there were more than 10,000 foot soldiers, and the baggage was one million stones. This was the entire strength of the Third Army. In the previous few days of fighting, our army had suffered more than 10,000 casualties, of which more than 6,000 were cavalry. So there are less than 20,000 cavalry that can really fight, and this is concentrated in the middle and front divisions. There are now only two or three thousand cavalry in the rear division, and most of the others are infantry soldiers.

It turned out that Hou Jian's arrangement was to consume the enemy at Shiliping, forcing them to continuously draw troops from the east and west to Shiliping, and then use the strong formation breaking ability of the heavy cavalry to break through from the east and west at the same time. As for the baggage, Hou Jian had already obtained the right to dispose of Hu Gong's immediate position, and decided to burn most of them on the spot, and some of them were buried deep in the ground or sunk into the lake - of course, this matter was carried out in top secret, and the special department was in charge - the key point of this plan was that the opponent had to be consumed, so that the enemy had to draw troops from both flanks.

The Han army also had to put on a decisive battle, but the strength was outnumbered. This is also one of the reasons why Hou Jian did not send reinforcements at dusk today.

In short, this plan is a test for the commanders of the two sides to transfer troops and command the battle array. Judging from the reaction of the Yue people, Hou Jian is going to win.

Next, it depends on whether Hou Jian's deployment can also win......

Note 1: Emperor Han Le was the father of Emperor Han Lie and the grandfather of the current emperor. More on him later.

Note 2: The word rabbit does not mean to engage in base at this time, but represents timidity and fear. Sometimes it means flexibility. At this time, engaging in the foundation is generally called "the good of Longyang" and "the habit of breaking sleeves", which is not a big sin. The meaning of "rabbit" really became a base was in the Qing Dynasty...... (To be continued......)
