【Incredible! 】

This is Zhang Huang's most profound feeling in the past 30 days.

Before this, who would have thought that even Li Ru could not get a bargain for Han Sui, would be played with by Huangfu Song like this. Not only did a full month of time be wasted, but also many favorable factors were lost, which is really embarrassing.

Because of Zhang Xiu's identity, Zhang Huang was not restrained, which allowed him to clearly observe the entire process of changing the morale of those Han soldiers on the city wall of Meiyang County from scratch.

I have to say that a month ago, Han Sui sent more than 100 Qiang soldiers to scold the enemy and humiliate the enemy's tactics were really extremely damaging, I remember that even Zhang Huang felt hot at that time, and his chest seemed to be stuffed with cotton balls, not to mention those Han soldiers who were directly humiliated.

However, Huangfu Song's understated ban order turned decay into magic, and instead used Han Sui's humiliation tactics to stimulate the self-esteem of the Meiyang Han soldiers and motivate them to restore their morale.

This magical turning point, even if he thinks about it now, Zhang Huang is still shocked by Huangfu Song's whimsy.

Recalling Huangfu Song's various strategies, Zhang Huang didn't know how to evaluate it. Let's say it's magical, that one by one, one by one, in fact, Zhang Huang can also think of it; It can be said that it is not magical, if it were not mentioned by Huangfu Song, Zhang Huang really couldn't think of how thorough and complete it was.

Sometimes Zhang Huang strangely felt that Huangfu Song was a living book of war, although many of the strategies he proposed were actually recorded in the Art of War, and there was nothing particularly outstanding. The only characteristic is that Huangfu Song used the tactics recorded in each military book in a very standardized manner, which is very in line with the current situation.

Therefore, Zhang Huang felt that Huangfu Song was a human-shaped military book.

This man is naturally handsome!

"Huh?" Glancing up, Zhang Huang unexpectedly saw that the deity Huangfu Song, who he was thinking about, was talking in a low voice on the city wall with his nephew Huangfu Li.

Out of curiosity, after Zhang Huang quietly left, he could guess. Huangfu Song must be imparting experience to Huangfu Li in response to the current situation at this moment. Although he was suspected of stealing a teacher, Zhang Huang really couldn't help but want to listen to it, after all, this was an opportunity that could be met but not sought.

"What does my uncle mean that at this moment, our army can't completely defeat Han Wei?!"

As soon as Huangfu Li opened his mouth to express this doubt, he immediately found Zhang Huang who was tiptoeing close to his uncle and nephew, and a little displeasure couldn't help but appear on his handsome face.

He didn't have a good impression of Zhang Huang, firstly, the two had no friendship at all, and secondly, Zhang Huang also suppressed him when Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuoqi were arguing.

Probably noticing the displeasure on his nephew Huangfu Li's face, Huangfu Song followed his gaze and glanced back at Zhang Huang. Seeing him pretending to stand aside and pretending to look at the Qiang camp in the distance, he may have guessed something while being stunned in his heart, smiled faintly, and did not think of a pestle at all, but beckoned Zhang Huang to his side.

"Shicai Li'er said, this issue can send troops to attack Han Sui, what do you think?"

To the surprise of Huangfu Li and Zhang Huang, Huangfu Song asked Zhang Huang indifferently.

It seems to be an inquiry, but in fact it is a test. Zhang Huang knew this, so he didn't answer rashly, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and replied, "Send troops at this time." Or something is wrong. ”

"Oh? How so? Huangfu Song's eyes flowed, and he looked at Zhang Huang with a smile.

Thinking about it, after all, Zhang Huang was eavesdropping on the side, and Huangfu Song would not rashly comment on anything because of this empty inappropriateness.

"This ......" Zhang Huang was a little speechless. I opened my mouth to say something, but I found that I didn't know where to start. Obviously, this is because Zhang Huang has a high evaluation of Huangfu Song in his heart, which leads to huge psychological pressure when he faces Huang Fu Song.

"Hey!" See Zhang Huang's expression. Huangfu Li snorted contemptuously, obviously he didn't think Zhang Huang could say anything valuable.

It may be that he saw through Zhang Huang's restraint and embarrassment, Huangfu Song did not continue to ask, he stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, looked at the distant Qiang camp, and said slowly, "After more than a month, the Qiang battalion soldiers who have been on the right side have no will to fight, and they are tired and want to return, on the other hand, the soldiers in my city still remember the shame of being humiliated under the city before the month, and they are full of anger and hatred of the enemy, which can be described as a rainbow of morale and high fighting spirit." …… However, in the meantime, Yu has to say that you can't send troops, and you will lose the battle, can you two understand the truth? ”

Even if Huangfu Li couldn't guess it, he didn't bother to observe Zhang Huang's expression, and Gu Zi lowered his head and meditated there; And Zhang Huang pondered every sentence of Huangfu Song, but he couldn't figure out the truth for a while.

You can't send troops, and you will lose the war?!

It's strange, obviously the Meiyang soldiers are no less warlike than the Qiang soldiers on the opposite side, why does Huangfu Song still assert that he will lose if he fights?

Suddenly, Zhang Huang said eagerly: "Fatigue does not mean low morale. ”

Huangfu Song glanced at Zhang Huang with a slightly surprised gaze, and then nodded approvingly and said, "Exactly!" …… The fatigue of the Qiang soldiers here was all caused by Han Sui's suspicion that he did not want to use troops against us, and if we attacked rashly, I believe that Han Sui would only need an encouragement to re-energize the fighting spirit of the Qiang soldiers. The individual force of the Qiang people is originally above that of our Han people, and even if the morale is similar, our Han people have little chance of winning. ”

Huangfu Li was a little anxious when he heard this, and said in amazement: "In this way, isn't my uncle's previous plan in vain?" ”

Huangfu Song glanced at Huangfu Li and Zhang Huang, who both showed puzzled expressions, and wanted to test them with this, but after thinking about it, he gave up, he felt that most of the two young people who had no experience could see through the truth.

"Is it all for nothing?" Huangfu Song shook his head, and Zhengse said: "You two must always remember the role of the commander, don't think that at this time, the Qiang soldiers have little will to fight, so they think that they can win." …… Han Sui's existence is the key. After a pause, he added: "However, this kind of thing can not be used again to boost morale for the first time, and when it is first boosted, the effect is wonderful, or it can turn decay into magic, and turn victory and defeat; But if you want to boost morale again, you may not have much effect. ”

The puzzled expressions on Huangfu Li and Zhang Huang's faces receded slightly, but there were still many things they didn't understand.

And Huangfu Song didn't take the opportunity to ask them anything, he looked at the distant Qiang camp and said: "In my opinion, if Han Sui wants to inspire the fighting spirit of the Qiang soldiers at this time, it is nothing more than promising them what they will do after they break through my Meiyang, killing, burning, looting, and arranging the army for a few days. Nothing more than this. …… The Qiang people are barbarians who do not cultivate morality, and after this encouragement, they are bound to be fierce and far more fierce than my Meiyang soldiers, so I conclude that the Meiyang soldiers are difficult to defeat the Qiang soldiers. ”

"......" Listening to Huang Fu Song's coherent analysis, Zhang Huang opened his mouth and was speechless, he never thought that Huang Fu Song would think about things in such detail.

"What does General Huangfu mean to continue to defend?" Zhang Huang asked curiously. Although Huang Fu Song can be called the biggest murderer of the Yellow Turban Army under his command, but everyone is right in front of everyone who uses soldiers with this genius in the sky, Zhang Huang still sincerely believes that Huang Fu Song is probably the best strategist in the world at present, and the title of "general" is well deserved.

"Nope! Troops! Huangfu Song interrupted Zhang Huang's words. Shaking his head and saying, "Otherwise, it will be a waste of work." ”

Zhang Huang and Huangfu Li were even more confused when they heard this, because Huangfu Song clearly said that they would be defeated if they sent troops at this time.

As if he had seen through the thoughts of the two, Huangfu Song explained with a smile: "Sending troops does not mean that I will fight Han Sui to the death. The reason why the troops were sent was just to dominate the battle and let Han Sui passively fall into our army's plan. …… The two of you must remember that on the battlefield, a short period of victory or defeat, advantages and disadvantages are nothing, and the most important thing is to dominate the battle. …… What is dominance? Very simple. If you want to enter, I will not let you in; If you want to return, I won't give you back. Every time you use soldiers, they aim at your weak underbelly. If you can't advance, you can't retreat, you can't fight, you can't make peace, this is to dominate the war. ”

Zhang Huang and Huangfu Li listened to these words like thunder in their ears. It seems that they have stepped into a new realm of military use in an instant.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Huang let out a long breath and asked, "How...... Dominate the battle? ”

Huangfu Song was a little surprised that Zhang Huang could see the true connotation in such a short period of time. Tsai looked at him carefully a few times, and then slowly said a word: "Yangmou!" ”

The lord uses yang to conspire, supplemented by treachery, this is the core of Huangfu Song's use of troops.

Maybe he is not as amazing as Guo Jia, Xun Youna and other strategists, and he can't use the timing to make anything that can be evaluated as an antelope's horns and whimsical strategies, he just uses the yang to use the right way, which is the foundation of his consecutive victories and invincibility.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent", "not counting the victory, the first word of defeat", "the lord plots with yang, supplemented by treachery", "knowing that if you can win, you will attack, and if you can't win, you will defend", these are clearly written in many military books, and they sound a little empty rules and regulations, when they are told through the mouth of Huangfu Song, it is definitely the battlefield truth of another level and realm, and Zhang Huang was dumbfounded when he heard it.

I have to say that Huangfu Song has mastered these tactics and reached an incredible point.

"Send troops, but don't confront Han Sui head-on."

This is the first tactic that Huangfu Song began to really dominate the battle.

Divide the troops!

Just when Han Sui, as Huang Fu Song expected, inspired the fierceness of the Qiang soldiers through the promise after breaking the city, Huang Fu Song took the lead in taking action.

He divided the entire Meiyang County into four equal forces, Zhang Wen and Yuan Peng led one, Dangkou general Zhou Shen and deputy general Sun Jian led one, Dong Zhuo led one, and he Huangfu Song led one. Except for Zhang Wen's one to defend Meiyang, the other three armies all drove out of the city, taking advantage of the fact that the Qiang soldiers were generally light on the enemy, they quickly seized several hills with tight terrain with lightning speed, and called the soldiers to plant flags all over the mountains.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Fu Song continued to order the division of troops, but all the generals led one alone, and even Zhang Huang was assigned three hundred soldiers in this case, but he wondered what Huang Fu Song was doing and wanted to consult Dong Zhuo's opinion, so he gave up the opportunity to lead the troops.

For these dozens of small teams, Huangfu Song explained that they were very simple, that is, to harass, as much as possible, such as going to the Qiang camp with war drums in the middle of the night, repeating the drums and hiding the action, so that the Qiang soldiers in the entire Qiang camp could not live in peace, etc.

The arrogant Qiang soldiers originally looked down on the Han soldiers, but now they are harassed and jumped, how can they swallow this disgusting anger, no, tens of thousands of Hu Dao Rong cavalry have also been divided into dozens to small teams, rushing to the outskirts to hunt and kill the harassment team of the Han soldiers.

In response to these small units of Hu Dao Rong cavalry, Huang Fu Song put forward the tactical policy of "fighting at dusk" and "or lying in the deep grass, or inviting to the pass", to put it bluntly, it was an ambush, deliberately exposing his body, luring Hu Daorong to ride to the ambush point, and what was even more immoral was that he set the time after the sun went down.

After the sun goes down, the vision is not good, where can you see whether there is an ambush. In addition, the Qiang and Hu people generally have a strong sense of self-esteem, and they can't stand the slightest insult and instigation, so that this kind of ambush war is unexpectedly easy.

In fact, it is no wonder, after all, the strength of Hu Daorong's cavalry lies in the impact of thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers washing the battlefield, and the lethality is actually the same thing after being divided into small forces.

How strong is the combat effectiveness of a single Qiang soldier?

How could you be told to fight one by one in an ambush? Almost all of them were successful ambushes and poured out of the nest, and often before those Hu Dao Rong cavalry could react, more than half of them would be killed, and the remaining half, the Meiyang soldiers fought one with two, and they were not easy to win?

The aftermath of the battle. As Huangfu Song expected, the Qiang and Hu soldiers looked down on the Han soldiers from the bottom of their bones, believing that this cowardly state only knew the treacherous tactics of ambush and ambush, but they were frequently succeeded by the Han soldiers, which made them despise and anger the Han soldiers, and the emotions of the army soldiers were generally distorted.

In response to this situation, Han Sui did not have any good way, after all, the Qiang soldiers were outsiders after all, and they were not as familiar with the nearby geographical environment as the local Han soldiers. What was even more immoral was that Huangfu Song divided the army into dozens of small teams, and Han Sui was not aware of the trap at that time.

Now he realized that once the army was divided into dozens of troops, there would be no more guides. And without a guide, it means losing the geographical advantage, and those Hu Dao Rong cavalry who were ambushed and wiped out are the best example of the loss of geographical advantage.

It's really a miracle that turns decay into magic. Who would have thought that Hu Dao Rongcai, who controlled the control of the field a month ago, would be pressed and beaten by a single Meiyang soldier who was far inferior in force with just one strategy of Huangfu Song, and gradually lost control of the field?

In desperation. Han Sui had no choice but to veto the previous decision, redivide the Hu Dao Rong cavalry, and form it into a team of two "songs", that is, 500 people, after all, if the number of people is smaller, the advantage of the Hu Dao Rong cavalry will be completely lost.

However, such a division meant that the control of the field became weak, allowing Huangfu Song to start attacking some of the key places of Han Sui's Qiang soldiers, such as the garrison places.

After all, there are more than 100,000 troops under Han Sui's command, and he alone can't put down the grain and grass that supports an army for several months of fighting. Taking a step back, even if he can let it go, Han Sui will not take such a risk, after all, although the personal strength of the Han soldiers is generally inferior to that of the Qiang soldiers, don't forget that there are fierce generals like Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian in the Han soldiers, as long as one of these two people takes the elite to kill in and set fire to the food at night, it is enough for Han Sui to go around without eating.

"All methods of attack and war begin with the one who changes. If the enemy is stationed in several places, there will be strong and weak and outnumbered. I can attack the weak from the strong, and I will be invincible if I avoid the many and attack the few. ”

In accordance with Huangfu Song's tactical policy, dozens of small groups of Han soldiers began to clean up the Qiang soldiers' garrisons in an orderly manner under the command of their own generals, namely Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen, and Huang Fu Song. To put it bluntly, it is to pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and to pick the underground troops who have a small number of Qiang soldiers in the garrison, and once they succeed, they will quickly evacuate, and never give Han Sui a chance to pursue after reacting.

As the days passed, the balance of victory gradually tilted, and the Qiang soldiers, who were originally full of morale, gradually lost their fighting spirit under a series of suppressions by Huangfu Song.

"When do people think about retreating?"

remembered that Huangfu Song once used this question to test Zhang Huang.

"When you can't enter."

That's what Zhang Huang replied at that time.

Just as Huangfu Song and Zhang Huang asked and answered, when the morale of the nearly 100,000 Qiang soldiers was low due to a series of blockades, and gradually realized that they might not be able to conquer Meiyang County, the uneasiness that had been concealed before was once again exposed.

The Qiang soldiers, once again, began to miss their homeland, and they generally did not want to continue this fierce battle with no hope of victory.

Huang Fu Song said that this kind of thing to boost morale can no longer be done, and Han Sui inspired the Qiang soldiers by promising to conquer Meiyang for three days after the army, but when the capture of Meiyang became far away, the Qiang soldiers lost their fighting spirit.

What's even worse is that they lost their fighting spirit this time, so it was not something that Han Sui could easily motivate through a few words.

The entire battle situation has been completely reversed, and the Qiang soldiers under Han Sui have lost the sharpness to sweep the entire Han Dynasty, but this does not mean that this army has lost its combat effectiveness.

The unwilling Han Sui and Huangfu Song continued to consume.

Huangfu Song was also happy to continue to consume with Han Sui.

In response to this, Huang Fu Song pointed out sharply when teaching Huang Fu Li and Zhang Huang: At present, the two armies are in confrontation, and it is definitely not their Meiyang who suffers.

After all, the grain eaten by the Meiyang soldiers was directly transported from Luoyang, and the food eaten by the Qiang soldiers was transported from the distant Jincheng and Wuwei. The longer the war dragged on, the more tired the logistics army of Han Sui's army was transporting grain and grass, coupled with the new Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng Contempt, Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie, Qiang Captain Xia Yu and veteran Gai Xun, these four local governors have organized soldiers and horses to intercept the rear of Han Sui's army, once there is a problem in the logistics of Han Sui's army, the entire Qiang army has nearly 100,000 people who cannot escape the danger of annihilation.

"Huangfu Yizhen is waiting, waiting for the best time to attack!"

Dong Zhuo, as a fierce rival who has been following Huangfu Song's footsteps for many years, is the one who knows Huangfu Song best.

"Huangfu Yizhen either doesn't attack, or if he comes out, he will move with a slap to seal his throat, don't look at Han Sui's current hands with nearly 100,000 Qiang soldiers, that's useless. The longer Han Sui dragged on, the more unfavorable it became to him, maybe he ...... Few of the 100,000 Qiang soldiers made it back alive. ”

Listening to Dong Zhuo's understatement, Zhang Huang couldn't help but think of Yingchuan Yellow Turban and Qu Shuai Bocai.

I remember that at that time, Huangfu Song was also quietly waiting for the best opportunity like now, and when his whole army moved, tens of thousands of Yingchuan Yellow Turban elites were wiped out overnight, and the whole army was wiped out.

"Will there be a repeat of the Battle of Chosha? Han Sui, also want to follow in the footsteps of Bocai? ”

Zhang Huang let out a long sigh.

I have to say that he has learned a lot by Huangfu Song's side these days, and this just makes his feelings about Huang Fu Song more and more complicated.

The Jingguan of Changshe, Runan and other places, those Jingguan piled up by the heads of the Yellow Turban Righteous Warriors on the order of Huangfu Song.

Zhang Huang felt more and more compelled to ask Huang Fu Song in person, asking him why he had ordered that to be done at that time.

If it was in the past, there was no need to ask or not, after all, Zhang Huang was just curious about Huangfu Song at that time, and as the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Huang had the obligation to recover this debt from Huangfu Song for those Yellow Turban righteous men who respected him as Little Heavenly Master, the difference was only that Zhang Huang disdained to kill this amazing and brilliant commander with assassination, and preferred to defeat him on the battlefield with dignity.

But as Huang Fu Song passed on his combat experience over the years, Zhang Huang gradually felt a certain negative emotion brought about by this favor, that is, he wanted to ask Huang Fu Song more and more in person, as if he could not feel at ease for the rest of his life if he did not get an answer.

This kind of emotion is called tangling.

In other words, grievances are inseparable.

In the end, Huangfu Song didn't really wait for the best opportunity to attack.

As the so-called providence is like a knife and unpredictable, just when Huangfu Song patiently waited for the Qiang army under Han Sui to collapse on its own, so as to annihilate this foreign invasion army in one go, an accident happened.

In November, a "star" fell from the sky and fell into Han Sui's Qiang camp.

That night, the Qiang camp was on fire, and Dong Zhuo saw that the opportunity could not be lost, so he immediately took Zhang Huang to attack the Qiang camp at night.

At first glance, it seems that the heavens are not good for the Qiang, but in fact, on the contrary, at least most of the nearly 100,000 Qiang soldiers can survive because of this.

Because it was this opportunity that made Han Sui finally make up his mind to withdraw his troops from Meiyang, otherwise, as Dong Zhuo predicted, I am afraid that few Qiang people would not be able to return to their hometown alive.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo still failed to shine as he wished, because Huangfu Song's use of troops was really amazing.

Insurmountable! (To be continued......)
