Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Strategist and the Actor
As soon as the army of the cavalry general Zhang Wen arrived, the Xiliang army was no longer holding on, turning around and running, that is, Li Zhang and Li Xiangru, who were determined to stay and break off, were no longer heroes, and they galloped away with soldiers and horses, and the Han soldiers who watched were stunned and didn't know how to deal with it, so they got together again and began to discuss;
Zhang Wen sat on the main seat, slightly tired between his eyebrows, from Hedong to Youfufeng County Shoucheng all the way at least more than 300 miles, can he not be tired when he is old? As soon as he arrived, he learned that the Xiliang rebels had begun to pull out their camps and were about to retreat, which made the Han army fall into passivity;
The current combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is still there, even if they are like arrows, even if they lack food and grass, the Han army is also a labor expedition, laboring the people and losing money, and it is impossible to say that there is no victory; Let's fight! I'm still afraid that I won't win! Don't fight! Returning to the capital will definitely be held accountable, and Zhang Wen, as the coach, naturally feels deep pressure;
"To chase or not to chase? What do you see? Zhang Wen rubbed his brows, shh There is also an unknown bitterness under the appearance of the scenery!
Li Kai, as a small staff gentleman, was originally not qualified to stand in this central camp as a counselor under the nominal commander of Si Li, but someone treated him differently! So he came, so he pulled Yuan Shu: "Chase!" ”
Yuan Shu understood, clenched his fists, and said sonorously: "This is the best opportunity to eliminate the anti-thief!" It's also a great time for us to make a difference! Why not chase? I am willing to do my best to eliminate the rebellious ministers and thieves! ”
Li Ru on the other side saw this small action, there was no expression on his face, and he was really unhappy in his heart, Li Kai's appearance directly disrupted the development route he had formulated, so that his plan had a certain deviation, and he was helpless in his heart, he couldn't just plug Li's mouth, right? Glancing at Dong Zhuo, Li Ru conveyed the meaning that the plan would not change;
Dong Zhuo stepped forward to dissuade him: "No! There is a cloud in the art of war - don't chase after the poor, don't force the crowd; We are now marching into the kingdom of pursuit, and we are forcing the people to return to the people, chasing the poor! The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the bees are poisonous, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people and horses! The slightest mistake is a catastrophe! ”
With Li Ru's wisdom, he had long seen that there was an irrepressible restless factor in the Xiliang army, and these united soldiers and horses would fall apart sooner or later, if they pursued, of course, they would win without danger, but the benefits of their Dong Zhuo forces would be much less;
If he doesn't pursue, Dong Zhuo will inevitably take the opportunity to detain some of the soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Wen to increase his strength, and in the process of personally recruiting the Xiliang army, he will gradually devour those sturdy soldiers, and he can also lay a great reputation in Xiliang and lay a deep-rooted foundation here!
As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Huangfu Song said: "Otherwise! In the past, he was not beaten because the rebels were at their peak and could not be forced; Waiting until now is waiting for their morale to decline. It is the weary army that fights, not the people who are in a hurry to return;
The Xiliang Army has persisted for a full month, and the supply of surplus grain and grass has long been cut off. They are not poor people at the end of the road, and our army has been reorganizing for a long time to fight chaos, which is a godsend! How could you miss it? Brother Boshen! What do you think? ”
Huang Fu Song's words are sufficient, it can be said that the battle command of the Northwest Campaign this time is headed by Huang Fu Song, logistics support, coordination relationship is what Zhang Wen should do, Huang Fu Song spoke, Zhang Wen bluntly broke out two words: "Very good!" ”
Huangfu Song nodded and looked at Dong Zhuo: "General Dong!" What do you think? ”
Dong Zhuo gave his hand, although he was disrupted and his plan was not worried, but he couldn't help but participate in the war, if he didn't participate in the war, he wouldn't get any benefits, no matter how small the grasshopper was, it was meat, so take as much as he could! "But it's up to General Huangfu to call the shots! There is no objection from a certain family! ”
"Excellent! Dispatch now! Sun Jian! You are the vanguard...", after Huangfu Song's series of orders were issued, Li suddenly got up and asked: "Dare to ask General Huangfu how he plans to break the enemy and win?" If the morale of the enemy army is low and there is no food and grass supply, it will be difficult to defeat and destroy the rebels, right? You must know that their 1340,000 people are not eating dry food! ”
"The matter of the battlefield is decided on the spot, depending on the time, and the general does not have a plan in his heart that can completely hundreds of rebels! But you, I think you have something to say, right? Huangfu Song looked at Li Kai with a smile;
Li Mouren will not let him down: "The so-called impermanence of soldiers, impermanence of water, this is the traditional proposition of soldiers, there is indeed no fixed routine on the battlefield, but under some special conditions, some tactics can also be applied to increase the probability of victory!" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! Huangfu Song is very interested, he has been very sensitive to strategy and tactics after a lifetime of fighting, and he is looking forward to it, and everyone in the tent is also listening with their ears...
"War is a high-stakes affair with strong instability, and in this case, the tactical choice is to enhance the probability of victory and firmly grasp the advantage of the battle situation! Promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, depending on the situation!
This time to pursue Han Sui and Ma Teng, the most suitable thing is the tailgating tactic! To put it simply, it is to put pressure on them and not attack them directly, because that will easily cause them to counterattack, just follow them, constantly harass them, until their morale drops to the lowest point, the soldier has a psychological breakdown, and then give a fatal blow! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Huang Fu Song said three good words in a row, and his thoughts began to drift, calculating the effect that can be achieved after the implementation of this tactic, except for Huang Fu Song, the rest of the people are also thinking thoughtfully;
Looking at the shocked crowd, Li had a very long face, with a smile on his face...
The discussion passed, and the various departments reorganized their troops and horses and prepared for the pursuit operation, everyone was very happy, and they were all looking forward to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, only Dong Zhuo was worried: "Wenyou! It seems that we are wishful thinking, not only Li Xiaoxian's problem, but Huangfu Song is also staring at me all the time! ”
"Don't worry, lord! This is only temporary! Li Ru squeezed out some smiles on his calm face, and comforted: "There is no problem, the plan only needs to be slightly modified to achieve the intended effect, as long as the main strategy does not change too much, there is no problem at all!" ”
Every strategist is a natural actor, but their role is determined according to the surname of the person who assists them, for example, Li Ru's current status is more like a like-minded friend with Dong Zhuo, and he wants to become strong when Dong Zhuo is depressed, so as to set an example for Dong Zhuo;
When Dong Zhuozhi is proud, he wants to play the bad guy and pour cold water on Dong Zhuo, and when Dong Zhuo needs fame, he wants to be the worst person... Li Ru has always been a role used to strengthen Dong Zhuo's beliefs by Dong Zhuo's side!
He was very tired, but he never gave up his dream, just as Dong Zhuo wanted to incarnate as Shang Yang to promote the reform of the Han Dynasty, how could he Li Ru not inherit the Legalist thought and hope to regain the glory of his ancestors?
It has always been Li Ru's wish to establish a legal system and reproduce the glory of his ancestors, and the two are not in conflict, because his ancestors are an outstanding representative of Legalism!
