Another staff member said, "That's easy to explain. I expected that he was stimulated by the victory in Fenzhou, thinking that Wanyan Hu had lost his sharpness, so he carelessly despised it, and wanted to re-stage a scene of a surprise attack on Fenzhou. ”

He turned to Wan Yan Yinshuke and said, "I am sure that according to the current situation, it will not take three days for the Song army to take the initiative to withdraw." ”

"You mean?"

"It's the same whether adults save Xinzhou or not. Tens of thousands of armor guards of the Song army, more than 10,000 foot soldiers in Xinzhou, the Song army ants were attached to the siege of the city, and the Xinzhou foot soldiers defended the city. It's ridiculous. This staff member has always opposed the rescue of Xinzhou, and after hearing it, he felt that it was very reasonable, and said: "Yes, yes." ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and two or three people were about to come in. Everyone looked up and saw that it was a scout from the direction of Fenzhou.

The scout was overjoyed, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Report to the lord, the reality of the Song army's foot soldiers, the villain and others have finally found out." ”

"Tell me about it."

"The foot soldiers of the Song army did not walk fast all the way, and only then did they cross the Daling River, which is nearly 200 miles away from my Taiyuan. Two of them, who were originally captured by our Dajin signing army, came over and told the truth. The Song army marched all the way, under the banner of 20,000 people, and the real strength was only 3,000, from the Fenzhou Propaganda Department. ”

"Three thousand? Minzhuang? Wanyan Yinshu was stunned and asked, "How did 20,000 become 3,000?" ”

"The reason why the scouts were wrong a few times ago was because of their extremely strict precautions, and the villains couldn't get closer, so they had to wait and see from afar. Second, there are many out-of-town refugees from Fenzhou and Pingyang who are coerced in the middle of their ministry, acting as a number of people. Thirdly, they stretched the distance, put up more flags, dragged branches and raised dust with horses, and confused the sight of other our scouts. Fourth, every time they camped, they built more stoves and used the strategy of increasing them. ”

After finishing the silver technique, I was stunned for a long time, and I was worried for two days, but I never thought that it was Hu Yangeng's trick! Do you want to spread it out and not make people laugh and lose their big teeth? He is a dignified and famous general, and he is in the same column as the brothers of the Agu family, but he has fallen into such a laughing stock, so ashamed.

The staff member who originally advocated not saving Xinzhou changed his face, turned his eyebrows with joy, bowed to the ground, and said, "Congratulations, sir." ”

"What a joy!"

"Now it has been judged that the Song army's southward infantry is a vain, and the purpose should be to attract our Taiyuan and force our army not to dare to save Xinzhou. In this way, he hit Xinzhou is real! Just as the analysis of the lowly Fang Cai, he attacked the other with his own shortcomings, and fought for two or three days in a row, the army could not rest, and his subordinates were tired. My lord, this is a great opportunity for our army to stand out, to use my strength to break his fatigue! ”

Wanyan Yinshu took a breath: "Break his exhaustion? ”

He picked up a few letters asking for help from Yan Hu after finishing the case, read them again, and the more he thought about this staff's words, the more reasonable they became. He refused to be reassured, and asked the scout: "Is the intelligence really certain?" ”

Without waiting for the scout to answer, the staff said: "Judging from today, the Song army's southward infantry is indeed full of suspicions. He walked day and night, and it seemed that he had done a good job of secrecy, but if he wanted to sneak attack, he should have done as soon as possible, it had been two days, and he had marched less than a hundred miles so far. There are contradictions. ”

The other staff members looked at each other and thought at the same time, "Hindsight." They all spoke, echoing his opinions, and the words of the people changed from not saving Xinzhou to immediately going out to the army, grasping this rare opportunity, and striving to defeat Huyan Geng in one fell swoop and capture him alive.

"Father, never." It was Wanyan Yuying who stood up to stop him, "How does my father know that those signing troops in Fenzhou were not given to us by Huyan Geng?" ”

The scout replied: "I waited for the news, and went to investigate a few times, the people pretending to be an army, there must be flaws, one or two people pretending to be flaws, it is easy to say, if thousands of people are pretending to be flaws, and each has its own characteristics, the villain can't do it by asking himself." ”

Huyan Geng has become famous since the Battle of Bianliang, and it is like a bamboo in Hebei, connecting Binzhou, Dizhou, Cangzhou, Hejian, and Pinglu, and began to attract the attention of all parties in the Jin Kingdom. He captured and killed Yan Alu and defeated Yan Liduo, both of whom were the sons of Ah Gu Da and Wu Qimai, if Wan Yan Yinshu could defeat him and capture him, he would definitely be able to suppress Ah Gu Da.

Wan Yan Yinshu made up his mind and said: "Bring back the messenger from Naxinzhou, and tell him that this official will go out tonight, and according to Wan Yan Hu's request, he will raise 5,000 troops." ”

Wan Yan Huying stopped: "At this moment, ask the messenger to send a letter back, and he will be captured by Hu Yan Geng, the child directly led the cavalry to set off, and ran overnight. My father led the army and pressed the battle at the end. ”

Wanyan Yinke said: "I lead the cavalry first, and you lead the army behind." ”

"Xuan Shuai is clever, and mobilizing Yan Yinshu is like using his arm to drive his fingers."

As Tanma reported that the five thousand cavalry of Taiyuan City were dispatched, Hu Yangeng laughed again. The generals felt incredible, and Gao Zhong asked, "How did Xuan Shuai know that he would definitely go to the army?" Every time he strengthened his defenses and reinforced the defenders at the head of the city, why did Xuan Shuai always laugh? ”

"Wanyan Yinshu can be simple and suspicious, and it is absolutely impossible to simply use a strategy, and he can't be fooled, so he needs to use a chain of calculations, and a set of tricks. First told him to deny himself, then doubt himself, and finally affirm himself. All judgments are made by himself, and there seems to be no trace of my external push, which is exactly what Sun Tzu said: "Those who are good at attacking, the enemy does not know what they are defending; Those who defend well, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. ’”

Those who are good at attacking will show the enemy more than enough, and show the enemy more than enough, then the enemy will defend. This is the enemy, and he does not know what he is defending. This is the enemy should not be defended, defended; If you shouldn't be attacking, you should be attacked.

Some of the generals bowed their heads in contemplation, some nodded frequently, and everyone had their own gains.

Hu Yangeng continued: "The reason why I laughed when I heard its reinforcements is simpler. How many military horses are there in his Taiyuan City? The more soldiers he guards the city every day, the less his new force is. The soldier had no sharpness, and he was still hurrying for hundreds of miles, in a vain attempt to defeat our army, which was his own death. ”

He couldn't tell the truth.

The reason why he laughed when he heard the support was certainly for this reason, but also for other reasons. First, to strengthen the confidence of the generals and soldiers, he cannot tell them the strategy, but he can tell them with his actions that everything is under control. Second, by erecting his unfathomable and profound image, isn't this how people's prestige is slowly formed?

Hu Yangeng quoted his grandson for a while, smiled mysteriously for a while, and saw the appearance of the generals bowing to him, he was proud in his heart, he didn't know that after the cavalry, Yan Yuying still had a large army.

He put away his laughter, his eyes were blazing, he looked at everyone, and gave military orders. He said: "The completion of the silver art is coming, and our army needs to be prepared. Don't stop digging tunnels in the camp. Horse defense envoy, you take 3,000 men tomorrow and continue to attack the city, and the offensive will be fierce. Hao Siwen, you choose some powerful exploration horses, send them to the direction of Taiyuan, and always report the progress of the Yan Yinshu army.

"Inform the fifth brother in the mountain and the fourteenth general of the Ori family to remain dormant and ready to engage in battle at any time. The others set up camp and seized the time to rest, recuperate enough physical strength, and fight well. ”

The generals received the order awe-inspiringly, outside the handsome tent, the north wind rolled the flag, and the murderous spirit of Qiankun was heavy.
