Section 55

Seeing Wu Ming talking eloquently, everyone below, even Hu Yanhai listened attentively, and Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but feel at ease. I was thinking in my heart: "If Da Ge comes to preside over the defense of the city, although it can be arranged in an orderly manner, everyone will only blindly obey and will not ask why." Brother Wu is on the matter, the analysis is clear, and the style is much calmer. At least all of you here, everyone understands the situation of friend and foe, and obeys his orders rather than blindly obeys them. In this way, it is more convenient to work together. If the current Brother Wu can go back to five years ago, then his own tragedy and his family's tragedy can be avoided. ”

Wu Ming stood there and spoke unhurriedly, Xuanyuan Ling also stared at him intently, as if he was listening with relish, and his heart was full of mixed tastes, and his soul was out of the world.

She was full of confusion, and Hu Yanhai suddenly stood up and asked, "In this way, we don't have the slightest chance of winning?" ”

Wu Ming glanced at him and said lightly: "The chance of victory is naturally ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yanhai continued: "Dare to ask the general, what is the chance of victory?" ”

"The way of using soldiers is nothing more than the right time, place and people. The enemy army came from afar, and our army fought against the city, and it was already a mourning army, and the time was all in my hands. The risk of high city is the geographical advantage. ”

Wu Ming glanced at everyone, smiled and continued: "The battle to defend the capital is a battle against the water for the defenders. Once the city is broken, it is mostly the end of the country's ruin. Therefore, there are many words about surrender in the defense of the capital of the country, but I look at the monarchs all over the country, but I only have a high will to fight, as long as the whole country is united, why worry about the enemy not being broken? This is the most valuable person and. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone below "buzzed" and talked about it. Everyone couldn't help but puff up their chests, as if everyone was a hero of the world. But Hu Yanhai knew that the reason why the officials here resisted to the end was inseparable from the preparation of Nanyanda for many years. Most of them were born in Lanning, and some of them were from small tribes loyal to Lanning, and they were of humble origin. Once Simon destroys the country, his identity and status will inevitably be lost, so it is strange to fight to the end. It's just that this is not easy to say on the surface, he frowned and continued: "As the general said, but don't forget, our army has no food and grass, if the other party comes to besiege and not attack, what will we do?" ”

The two sides pulled and sang, gradually approaching the topic. Wu Ming stretched out two fingers and shook them: "Two points, one is for self-help, and the other is for help." ”

He glanced at Hu Yanhai and Xuanyuan Ling, and continued to say lightly: "The so-called call for help is naturally to ask for reinforcements from the northwest or even to the west of Louju, even if you can't break the enemy in one fell swoop, but at least you can let the other party divide his troops and have some scruples." ”

This is exactly what Hu Yanhai wants. It's just that Wu Ming brought it up, but there was nothing abnormal about him, he was still sitting there, as if he didn't seem to be aware of it. Xuanyuan Ling lowered his eyelids a little unnaturally, avoiding Wu Ming's gaze. Wu Ming continued: "The so-called self-help is naturally what I just said about taking offense as defense and looking for a good way to break the enemy. ”

Speaking of which, it was back to square one, and everyone's attention was attracted by him just now, and they unconsciously changed the topic. This time it's not so easy to fool. Hu Yanhai frowned, just about to say something. Uhelei stood up and saluted, "Does General Wu want to take us out to kill?" That's good, I'm the first to approve......" As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled up his shirt and pants, looking ready to do a big job.

He bowed before he spoke, and his words were also very respectful, obviously impressed by Wu Ming. Wu Ming smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will naturally have to bother General Uhelei." ”

He took a deep breath and said abruptly: "Do you know that Dongmeng came all the way from afar, what is the biggest weakness? Seeing everyone looking at each other, he continued to say loudly: "That's grain and grass!" Our army's grain and grass are not continuous, they have come from afar, and the 400,000 soldiers eat horses and chew horses, which is not a small number, as long as they can cut off their food and grass, it will be difficult to make up measures in a short time. And Rizela is away from Lanning, even if the fast horse gallops, it will take nearly 20 days, and the speed of the grain cart and livestock is even worse, even if it can be gathered, it will not be too late to transport it over, this is our chance to win. ”

Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and Tai Benshu is not a fool, so he naturally understands this truth, and he must be very strict. How easy is it to burn the other party's grain and grass in an army of 400,000? So if you want to do it, you have to think about it from the inside. Lan Ning naturally has spies in the Eastern Mongolian army, but these spies are only a few spies, and it is okay to report the news in private, if you want to set fire to the food under heavy protection, it must be uncaught, and it is purely looking for death.

The matter of setting fire to the grain will definitely not work if there are fewer people. If there are too many people and they can't be inserted, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the enemy. Therefore, some of the people who set the fire not only need to have a certain number, but also need to be refined. At the beginning of the meeting between Xuanyuan Ling and Wu Ming, they poured bitter water on him. And the scene of the black armor army coaxing is just a trick directed and acted by Wu Ming. Just for the sake of realism, I didn't let Zuo Wei know at first. is afraid that there are more people who know, and the spies hidden in Lanning will see the flaws, so that the hundreds of black-armored soldiers who were "cleared" out by Wu Ming are really "dying before they get out of the army".

Due to the situation, stifling may be in the bud. A general with an overall view naturally can't wait for something to happen before putting out fires, but needs to take precautions. The Black Armor Army was brought out by Li Yuan, and he must have feelings for him. And Wu Ming and Li Yuan, by mistake, have gone from being best friends to the opposite side. When Wu Ming wrote a letter to Na Yanda and attacked Li Yuan, Wu Ming certainly had the last bit of conscience, but also realized the internal hidden dangers in the Black Armor Army, so he took the initiative to kill people. At that time, some soldiers wanted to leave Lanning to find Li Yuan, but there were far fewer than a few hundred, only a few dozen. Most of these ** are collateral of the Li family, and they are inextricably linked to the Li family. But Wu Ming didn't let any of them go, and all of them were locked up in private, waiting for the war to end before making a decision. And the hundreds of people who went to "take refuge" with Li Zhong were carefully selected henchmen. As for that Li Song, there is indeed a person, but the real person was detained by Wu Ming, and now Zhou Ji is just pretending.

"The strong use the positive, the weak use the odd." Wu Ming couldn't help but think of a sentence in "Twenty-four Questions on the Marching Strategy", and Zhu Yulong also admonished him bitterly: "The technique of danger is not allowed." The battle between soldiers is weak and strange. If you blindly take tricks, then you are not a soldier, but a gambler, if you blindly rely on gambling, sooner or later you will lose everything, your own death is small, but tens of millions of soldiers are innocent? The more wars he has experienced, the more deeply Wu Ming agrees with the above views. It's just that at the beginning of the Western Expedition, the three armies marched together, but the middle road was the weakest road, which decided that Wu Ming could only take risks, which was also helpless. He cleared his throat and continued to say aloud: "Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is not possible to be trapped and waiting for help, and it is not possible to fight head-on. ”

"Weak with strange", "strange" is strange because it is unexpected and unthinkable. In the First Battle of Hanning, the Southern Han Dynasty made thousands of calculations, but they didn't calculate that after Li Tiehui issued the battle letter, the whole army would be pressed and almost suffered a big loss. Here, Li Tie is breaking people's conventional thinking, which is also strange.

Under Shuanghui City, everyone regarded the secret passage as a major weapon for the Southern Han Dynasty to sneak attack Shuanghui, so the defenders blocked the passage from the inside as early as possible, so that the attackers naturally could not attack the city from the dark passage, and the defenders did not know anything about what was happening inside, so that Wu Ming took advantage of the loopholes and planted explosives, and the city was broken in one fell swoop.

On the Qingting grassland, Wu Ming showed that the enemy was weak and lured Jiang Huan to attack. Jiang Huan planned to make a plan, and the night before he was about to meet with Persia, he used the wolf's tooth army to surprise him, which almost made him fall short. Fortunately, Esther's life is great, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Here, what Jiang Huan did was still a strange word, which was beyond Wu Ming's expectations.

The enemy's 400,000-strong army is surging, and it can only break the enemy in one fell swoop by cutting off its grain routes and destroying its baggage. To the west of the Gambiga grassland, the grassland is barren, which is certainly a disaster for Lanning, exacerbating the grain and grass crisis. But there are pros and cons to everything, and such barren grasslands are disguised in the wilderness. For the besieging side, the food and meat for people need to be prepared, and the grain and grass for livestock also need to be transported from the rear, which increases the logistical burden in disguise, and for Lanning, it is an opportunity.

As soon as Wu Ming's word box was opened, he completely entered the state. He stood on it as if his mouth were overhanging, and there was no one beside him. Although Xuanyuan Ling had communicated with him in advance and knew the general idea, listening to Wu Ming at this time, he still had a feeling that his eyes were bright. She thought so, and the rest of the crowd heard the plan for the first time, and they felt even more stunned. Although this plan still sounds a bit vain, it is undoubtedly a lifesaver for today's Lanning, and after hearing it, some people have begun to raise suggestions or questions to help improve it.

"It's insidious."

Now even Hu Yanhai sighed greatly. If this plan can really work, not only can the siege of Lanning be solved, but the hundreds of thousands of besieging troops in Dongmeng are afraid of heavy casualties. I often hear people say that Wu Ming is "unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness", but I didn't expect to come up with such an idea, it seems that the rumors are really wrong. If you face Wu Ming in the future, what should you do? For a while, Hu Yanhai's mood was even more complicated.

At this time, Uhelei stood up and said loudly: "Okay, just do it, General Wu, I will listen to you." Others chimed in. Wu Ming looked at the crowd gearing up, with a confident smile on his face, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. Although he said that he was thorough, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he was a little willing after all. Naturally, this plan still needs to be checked and filled. It's just that now that morale is high, he naturally won't pour cold water on everyone.

So be it for now, at least give people hope. He thought silently.

When Wu Ming was apprehensive, Xuanyuan Ling also breathed a sigh of relief. This plan was originally proposed by her, because she didn't understand military affairs, so she always felt a little whimsical, and she was also a little happy to see that Wu Ming persuaded everyone. After all, the idea at least boosts morale, and that's not a wasted effort.

At the end of the meeting, everyone said goodbye. Xuanyuan Ling and Hu Yanhai were still sitting still, and when there were only three people left in the room, Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "General Wu, it seems that our first step has been successful. ”

Wu Ming frowned and said, "Don't be too happy, what if Taibenshu can't get this news?" ”

Before Xuanyuan Ling could answer, Hu Yanhai had already sneered: "Don't worry, in the sixteen divisions of the two governments, there must be high-level internal responses from each other." Otherwise, how could the enemy know everything about our front line, I, Hu Yanhai, have suffered so many losses, if I don't have this judgment, then this old age is really blind. I'm too shocked by what I just discussed, and someone will be eager to spread it to Taimoto. ”

Seeing that he was so determined, Wu Ming couldn't say anything more, and continued: "Even if you startle the snake, Taiben will be in order." However, if the Black Armor Army wants to fish in troubled waters, there are still many risks and too many variables. ”

Hu Yanhai said: "Therefore, we and the reinforcements are needed to put enough pressure on each other on the front and side." Speaking of this, he was also a little dissatisfied in his tone: "General Wu, there is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, how can you do it if you don't try, we really have no other way to think of it." ”

Wu Ming said: "That's the only way." He stood up, turned his head to Xuanyuan Ling, and said, "\Dare to ask Niangniang, how is the matter with the poisonous gentian?" ”

Calculating the time, the poisonous gentian of the wild wind should have arrived a long time ago, and Wu Ming was worried that the army would be closed and there would be an accident in the transportation. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Ling replied: "Don't worry, the poisonous gentian has arrived." Although there are many enemy troops, it is difficult to find the goshawk in the building, and this thing arrived by air yesterday. Now Dr. Gu is doing his best to dispense medicine, and I believe that in a few days, His Majesty will come to his senses. ”

Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!" ”

Only when Yan Da is unharmed, Lan Ning has the confidence to argue with Rizela. Otherwise, even if the opponent's besieging army is repelled this time, it is likely that Taimoto Shu will be beaten back again with his troops.

The next thing is to see the reaction of the Tai Benshu. He took a deep breath and thought faintly.
