The snow was falling one after another, and the snowflakes danced in various postures in the air, either flying, circling, or falling straight and fast, and falling to the ground.

On the shore of Dongting Lake, in the camp of the Beifu soldiers,

From the horn that had just been assembled, the Beifu army had been reviewing for an hour, Xie Xuan kept giving various orders, and kept changing various formations, five thousand people seemed to be one, and the momentum was enough to directly disarm the third-rate army and flee in fright.

Liu Bowen looked at the Beifu soldiers trained by Xie Xuan on the side, and praised them sincerely: "General Xie's ability to train soldiers is enough to be famous through the ages, comparable to the art of war of the ancient pre-Qin people; If there are 100,000 soldiers in Beifu like this, it is enough to sweep the world! ”

Liu Bowen's admiration, everyone also heard it, in everyone's minds, now under Liu Xiu's command, Liu Bowen is naturally the first, but if it comes to leading the troops to fight, Xie Xuan is naturally well-deserved.

Liu Xiu felt the momentum and charm of this Beifu army, and also sighed: "The ability of juvenileness, in this world, those world-famous generals are rarely able to stand out!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more impressed, because if you talk about people, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with Liu Xiu.

Xie Daoyun on the side listened to everyone's praise for his younger brother, and was secretly happy in his heart, with a delicate smile on his face, but he was happy that her younger brother Xie Xuan could solve all kinds of difficulties for her younger brother Ji Xu

At this time, Xie Xuan had already rehearsed the battle formation, so he said to Liu Xianse: "The battle formation drill is complete, please review it!" ”

Liu Xiu took two steps forward, helped Xie Xuan up, and said gratefully: "I have worked hard in the past two years, and Xiu is here to thank you!" As he spoke, he bowed and bowed.

Without waiting for Xie Xuan to react, he straightened up again, and said loudly to the mighty soldiers below: "I know that everyone doesn't know me, my name is Liu Xiu, and I am the lord you have often heard of!" The so-called 'raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while', after today, I will lead you to fight the world in this troubled era, make meritorious contributions, and succeed in the future. ”

Liu Xiu said in the end, becoming more and more excited, raising the golden gun in his hand and shouting: "Everyone! Are you willing to work with me to calm the troubled world and the world!? ”

Liu Xiu was so excited that many soldiers and generals listened to it with passion, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Calm the troubled times!" Peace! Peaceful times! Peace! ”

Liu Xiu didn't know if he was possessed by the spirit of the king at this time, but the three daughters behind him, Yang Bamei, Yang Jiumei, and Xie Daoyun were full of admiration: "Brother Ji Xu is so handsome!" ”

The next morning, the rare heavy snow was gone, and although the road was still covered with ice and snow, the morning light on the sky gave everyone a sense of warmth.

Liu Xiu and others have integrated the Beifu soldiers and pioneer battalions early in the morning, and after making up to 10,000 soldiers and horses, they slaughtered to Changsha County, because Zhang Xian rebelled but before winter, so in addition to the county town, there are only a few county soldiers in other counties, so Liu Xiu and others can be described as a smooth road.

Within a few days, Liu Xiu and the others had arrived a few miles outside Linxiang County.

"Berwin, Youdu, we have arrived outside this Linxiang County, although we have hidden our tracks, but it is estimated that we will not be able to hide for too long, what should we do next?" Liu Xiu's face was a little tired, they had been speeding up the march in the past few days, which really tired him, just like the three girls who accompanied him, either young or too delicate, and they were all resting at this time.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiu asked again: "It seems that it is not feasible to attack the city directly?" Only a surprise attack can be used, but Chen Ying has 20,000 people in the county city, and there are two large battalions outside the city, which is indeed a horn trend, how to break it? “

Liu Bowen and Xie Xuan glanced at each other, and Liu Bowen took the lead in saying: "I waited for the day and night march to this point, because I didn't want that Zhang Xian to know our whereabouts. And Chen Ying divided the 40,000 soldiers and horses into three battalions, but this was the most wrong step he took! ”

"How can it be wrong to divide the army into three places and use each other as horns?" Liu Xiu asked puzzled.

Xie Xuan smiled and said, "If you know that there is an enemy army coming to attack the city, you can effectively defend each other by being horns; But if you don't know when the enemy army is coming, dividing your troops in three places like this is just weakening your own forces, and the enemy can give it a fatal blow at any time! ”

"How do you kill with one hit?" Liu Xiu was still puzzled.

Liu Bowen explained aloud: "The lord should know the strategy of attacking the camp? ”

"It's nature! The so-called strategy of attacking the camp is to be unprepared, and the attack on its camp tent, usually a night raid, can play a key role, right? Liu Xiu replied fluently.

Over the years, most of what he has learned in Jingshan Academy is these military books and strategies, military law battle arrays, and has never paid attention to any Confucian scriptures and Taoist doctrines, so he still understands a lot of theoretical knowledge of these strategies.

"The lord is wise!" Liu Bowen praised Liu Xiu without a trace, and then said: "Even if the two armies face each other head-on, the strategy of attacking the camp can often work wonders; Therefore, if it is a head-on confrontation, the vigilance of both sides is very high, and at this time, the division of troops into three horns will be the best policy; On the contrary, if you do not know the arrival of the enemy and your vigilance decreases, the division of troops will weaken your own strength, and it will only be an opportunity for people to attack the camp! ”

"I see!" Liu Xiu suddenly realized, to put it bluntly, he was going to attack when the enemy didn't know that he was coming, and the vigilance of the various barracks was poor and the number of troops was small.

After Liu Xiu figured it out, he said, "In other words, let's attack the enemy camp tonight?" It's just that now the enemy army has two large battalions, east and west, which side should I be elected? ”

Xie Xuan said with a straight face at this time: "What the lord said is right, but we are going to attack the camp tonight, but we don't choose which side of the camp!" ”

"That's?" Liu Xiu wondered.

"We will also divide our troops into three routes," Liu Bowen added mysteriously.

"Divide the troops into three ways?" Liu Xiu was even more surprised, just said that the enemy army was wrong in dividing the troops, and now he is also dividing the troops, and it is really Liu Xiu who asked again: "I only have 10,000 horses, how to divide the troops?" ”

Liu Bowen smiled and said nothing, while Xie Xuan knew that this was already a military affair and his duty as a general, so he said loudly: "That's right, we will also distribute three roads; On the first road, 1,000 Beifu soldiers and 2,000 pioneer battalions, led by San Lang and Liulang, attacked the East Camp at night; Gorou and Shichiro also led 1,000 Beifu soldiers and 2,000 pioneer battalions to attack the Western Battalion; And we waited for the remaining 4,000 men to wait for the fire of the two camps, and then sent people to change into the armor of the enemy soldiers, and won the city gate, and went straight to the north gate of the county town; At that time, the eastern and western armies will attack the camp and then besiege the east and west gates of Linxiang County, and then they will be able to do their best in one battle! ”

Liu Xiu listened to Liu Bowen and Xie Xuan's strategy, it was obvious that these two people had exchanged information and strategies before, so they would have this purely countervailing strategy now, but these two people were so ambitious that even Liu Xiu couldn't help but gasp, I really didn't expect them to use this strategy of night attack to pacify Changsha County and defeat 40,000 enemy troops overnight!
