"Attacking Jeju openly and taking Juye secretly" is a big tactical move. What Hong Jixun told Deng She was just a simple outline, and if you want to implement it, of course it won't be so simple. For a day and a night, Deng She, Hong Jixun, Wu Henian and others discussed maturely, and only then did they pass down the military document to Tai'an.

"Govern the army with faith, and seek victory with surprise". What is "odd"? "Strange" is unexpected. Hong Jixun's overall plan this time is fundamentally based on the word "strange". It is necessary to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. Use Qing Qianxing to lure the enemy head-on, so that Zhao Guo will be a "surprise soldier", cross the Jeju River, and highlight behind the enemy.

If you want to succeed, the first thing you need to do is to confuse Wang Baobao.

The military book went down to Tai'an, and Zhao Guo did the same.

Originally, Qing Qianxing was the front-line presidential consul, and an order was passed to transfer him back to Tai'an and reappoint Monk Li as the presidential consul. Then, a second military order arrived, and Gao Yonsei was sent to lead his troops to be stationed in Ningyang. The third military order ordered Yang Wanhu to lead his troops out of the camp outside Yanzhou City, to the west, approaching the Jeju River. But he had not gone far, and a fourth military order was issued, telling him to stop his advance for the time being and camp on the spot.

The fifth military order, reappointed Hong Jiyin, the prefect of Tai'an, as the prefect of Yanzhou, set off on the same day, bringing dozens of civil officials, large and small, to Yanzhou with a full guard of honor.

Within two days, Tai'an issued a series of five military orders. And every military order is not very secret, and it is deliberately leaked out.

Juye's detailed exploration has long been known, non-stop, back and forth, and reported to Wang Baobao one after another. Wang Baobao, Zhao Heng and others received the news of the loss of Yanzhou, and successively learned the information that Yidu frequently transferred generals and the army came out in all directions.

"What does the Red Thief mean by that?"

"Qing Qianxing fought Yanzhou before he made a great contribution, but he was transferred back to Tai'an. Monk Li was rude and uncivilized, not a master general, but was appointed as a front-line presidential consul. Could it be that the thief army was carried away by victory? Or is it that the thieves are not able to catch the army and feel that they are not capable of fighting Jeju, so they just want to defend Yanju? If so, why did he order Yang Wanhu to lead his troops out of the camp and move in the direction of the Jeju River? and sent Hong Jiyin. Hong Jiyin is Hong Jixun's brother, and if there are no special circumstances, he will never be easily sent to a dangerous place on the front line. ......, the red thief's move is a little incomprehensible. ”

Wang Baobao frowned and pondered, and was puzzled for a long time. asked Zhao Heng and said, "Where is the main force of the Henan Army now?" ”

"A few days ago, I have entered the boundary of Jining and are quickly heading towards Juye. Within two days at most, the whole army could arrive. ”

"When the main force of the Henan Army arrives, the number of our troops stationed in Juye will reach 30,000. No matter what tricks the thief army has, as long as I have enough people, 'one force will drop ten times'! ”

If you can't figure it out, you just don't want to. The loss of Yanzhou caused a great shock to Wang Baobao, and he now has only one idea: let the enemy change in a thousand ways, and before all the main forces of the headquarters are gathered, I will not move. But in the face of Tai'an's strange military orders, he felt that it was not very safe, he pondered for a moment, then ordered left and right, and added, "Tell the horses to be carefully investigated, and the enemy in Yanzhou must be strictly investigated." ”

Before the words fell, the footsteps outside were hurried, and a sweaty probe horse came in and knelt down to report: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" Taean gave another military order. ”

"Another military order? What kind of military order is it issued this time? ”

He also appointed Qing Qianxing as the consul of the president at the front, and reappointed Monk Li as the deputy consul. He also ordered Monk Li to lead his troops out of the city and go to meet Yang Wanhu. And ordered Qing Qianxing to send people to Shanyang Lake to collect local fishing boats. In addition, Hong Jiyin went out of Tai'an yesterday, and he traveled very fast along the way, and today he has reached Ningyang. ”

Wang Baobao and Zhao Heng glanced at each other, and they both saw confusion on each other's faces. Zhao Heng said: "Strange! Within two or three days, Qing Qianxing was dismissed from his position, and before he left the city, he was appointed as the president. Isn't Deng Thief crazy with a lost heart? 'The order is changing. 'What the hell is Taean up to?' ”

"Hong Jiyin has arrived in Ningyang? He brought so many pseudo-officials, all of them were literati, and he could still hurry up so fast! It's weird. Ordered Qing Qianxing to send people to Shanyang Lake to collect fishing boats? ”

Wang Baobao thought thoughtfully, turned around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, turned his head and said to Zhao Heng: "Sir, although the red thief 'changes day and night', you see, he has changed back and forth, but in fact, he has not changed much. Qing Qianxing is still the president, and Hong Jiyin is still going to Yanzhou. If the only change is that Yang Wanhu and Monk Li led the team out of the camp one after another, heading towards the Jeju River and the shore of Sanyang Lake. ”

Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, reacted, and quickly grasped the key point in Wang Baobao's words, and said, "What does the young master mean?" ”

"I can't say, the red thief is just suspicious! Six military orders in a row, why didn't he cover it up? Deng thief is experienced in soldiers, how can he not know the 'secrets of military nobles'? Why can these orders of his be so easily detected by the meticulous work of our army? There is only one possibility, he deliberately did not do a mask! It's for us to see. In my opinion, these orders must be true and false. ”

"Really, why?"

"Really, naturally, the two I just talked about. One appointed Hong Jiyin as the prefect of Yanzhou, and the other ordered Yang Wanhu and Monk Li to move to the shore of Shanyang Lake, and at the same time ordered Qing Qianxing to collect fishing boats. ”

"What is fake?"

"Twice reappointed Qing Qianxing's position, once suspended Yang Wanhu's march, and transferred Gao Yanshi to Ningyang. ......, no, it's true that Gao Yanshi was dispatched to Ningyang! ”

"What is the purpose of the red thief's arrangement?"

Wang Baobao was very excited, his eyes were shining, and he thought that he had seen through Tai'an's true intentions, so he ordered the guards to spread out the map, and asked Zhao Heng to come close to watch, and said while pointing, "Sir, please see." The thief army dispatched Gao Yanshi to Ningyang, which should be to supplement Yanzhou's military strength and serve as Yanzhou's backing. Sending Hong Jiyin to Yanzhou should be to appease the local people. He ordered Yang Wanhu and Monk Li to move to the shore of Sanyang Lake, and at the same time ordered Qing Qianxing to collect fishing boats, naturally in order to cross the Jeju River and attack Jeju. ”

"Gao Yanshi is the backing, and Hong Jiyin is the appeasement; Yang Wanhu and Monk Li were besieging the city. ”

Zhao Heng slapped his palm suddenly, Huo Ran woke up, and said, "Young Master is really insightful!" Listening to your words, it is really like seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist, and the commission is really submissive. ......, however, there is a question about the lowly position. The thieves have conquered Yanju, and the next step will definitely be to attack Jeju. Both they and we have long been aware of this. Why did Tai'an make such a move, so he showed us the suspicious array? ”

"I've been here for many days, and under the urging of repeated military orders, the 30,000 reinforcements have not yet arrived. Besides, the red thief?

"At present, there are only more than 10,000 people in Qing Qianxing, Monk Li, and Yang Wanhu on Jining Road. More than 10,000 people may be enough to defend the country, but if you want to continue to grab the land, I am afraid it is far from enough. Therefore, the red thieves set up a suspicious array in order to confuse our sight and buy time for them to mobilize military horses! ”

"As the young master said, then the next move of the thief army?"

"It must be for Jeju!" Wang Baobao sneered twice and said, "Garrison Shanyang Lake? Do you want to pass through Sanyang Lake, suddenly appear in Jeju Fortress in a roundabout way, cut off the connection between my Juye and Jeju, and then attack the city on a large scale? No wonder my father called Deng a thief who used trickery. Hey, good scheme! ”

Unlike Chahan, when Chahan was in the palace, he usually wore Confucian clothes, and Wang Baobao was young and vigorous, but no matter where he was, as long as he led the army to fight, he was always dressed neatly. At this moment, although he was indoors, he also had bright armor, holding down the short sword at his waist, he bent down, looked at the map carefully for a while, and said, "Hmph! It's just that he hated He Zongzhe and valued him so much in vain for his father! Can't even hold Yanzhou City. Without Yanju, Jeju is completely exposed to the red thief. It is not good for our army. ”

Zhao Heng said with a smile: "'The state has a permanent public, and the war is impermanent. 'The nation has a large standing army, but there is no invincible war. Yanzhou suffered a small defeat, although the city was lost, but as long as Jeju was still in the hands of our army, it would be difficult for the red thieves to move westward. Why should the young master be irritable? Having said that, in fact, from a humble point of view, a defeat in Yanzhou may still be of some benefit to our army. ”

"Some benefits? What are the benefits? ”

"The ancients said: 'The house of constant victory is difficult to worry about the enemy.'" It is difficult for a person who often wins battles to have any concern for the enemy. He Zongzhe was defeated by his 'constant victory'. And this defeat can be regarded as a wake-up call for our army. Yin Jian is not far away, and the next time there is a battle with the thief army, the generals of our army will be much more careful if they think about it. ”

Among Chahan's advisers, Wang Baobao and Li Weixin did not have a very good relationship, but they had a deep friendship with Zhao Heng and Sun Zhu. At this time, after listening to Zhao Heng's words of explanation, he smiled to himself and said, "Mr. is reasonable. Before coming to Jining, my father told me, saying that although I have been in the army for many years, I can be regarded as a deep battle formation, but in terms of calmness, I still have some shortcomings, and asked me to ask my husband for more advice in case of trouble. Sir, if there is something wrong with me, I implore Mr. to give me more guidance just like Fang Cai. ”

"The young master is a talent, and his humble position is already old, where can he dare to be worthy of the word 'guidance'? Shame, shame! ”

But mortal heroes must be outstanding. Wang Baobao was annoyed, and after listening to Zhao Heng's words, he was able to immediately restrain his anger and ask for advice sincerely, which was indeed not easy. Dunshe is a two-life man, so he has a city in his heart; He is not, he is only about 20 years old, he can have such a measurement, and he is really worthy of the title of talent.

It's a pity that although he is a talent, he couldn't see through Hong Jixun's plan completely.

However, there was one thing he guessed correctly. Hong Jixun is suspicious, firstly, to attract his attention, and secondly, to gain time for the mobilization of the army.

Today, most of the troops placed on the front line in Tai'an are foot soldiers, and the main force of cavalry is in Yidu. At the same time as the military order was passed down in Tai'an, Tong Shengyang, Hu Zhong and others led a cavalry army of 10,000 people, starting from Yidu, marching day and night, and arriving in Tai'an one after another.

"'Where the law of war is used, the people of the three armies will be divided and united.'" In the first half of the plan, the army was divided into two places, one with more than 10,000 people in Qing Qianxing as the feint attack, and the other with more than 10,000 cavalry people as the main force; in the second half, the two armies and horses were united. Tens of thousands of military horses, sometimes scattered, the main public soldiers, really like an arm. ”

This admiration is not from the mouth of Zhao Guo, but from the mouth of Pan Xianer. In the past two months, Pan Xian'er has had a good life, and Deng She is obviously more and more important to him. Because he has indeed made many strange schemes, even with him, the front-line generals have gradually looked up to him. If you use a poem to describe his mood at this time, of course, it is only "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." ”

Since his surrender, he has been given a cold reception for many years, and suddenly spring blossoms. Think about it, how can you not be high-spirited? It's just that because he was treated coldly before, although he is gradually gaining power now, he doesn't dare to think otherwise. After working hard, I thought about making more merits and getting a few more words of praise from Deng She.

With this thought, it is not surprising that he pats Deng She's ass anytime and anywhere, especially in front of Zhao Guo and other Deng She's cronies.

Zhao Guo has been with him for more than a month, and they are more familiar with each other, and these flattering words to him have long been heard so that calluses are about to grow in his ears, he smiled and said: "Pan, Mr. Pan, in the military text from the lord and the lord, there is also a special sentence written, ask, ask if Mr. has any opinion on the plan to take Juye?" ”

"'Attack Jeju openly, secretly take Juye', this is a real plan. The humble position can only admire this. However, when it comes to 'secret taking', according to the order of the lord's army, this road of military horses should be led by the general himself. There is a sentence I want to give to the general. ”

"Please, please."

"The general raised thousands of cavalry, crossed the Jeju River, drove hundreds of miles, went deep behind enemy lines, and faced a strong enemy. If you win, you win. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you will fall into a dangerous situation where there is no way back.

"The words that I want to give to the general are the words 'Submarine division attacks from afar, and the benefit is in speed'. If the general wants to succeed immediately, he must work 'speed' and speed. Moreover, 'the way of using soldiers, the odd is fast, and the speed is the result'. The general is here for the surprise soldiers. The key to using soldiers is to be fast, and the key to being fast is to be decisive. In case of enemy situation, please ask the general to make a decision immediately, and never hesitate! ”

"I will keep in mind what the gentleman said."

"The lord is really a strange plan. The main soldier is the first, and the strange soldier is the second. 'Attacking Jeju with the Qing Qianxing Department can be regarded as a 'regular soldier' and 'a regular soldier first'. Please ask the general to lead the crowd to raid behind the enemy's back, it is the 'surprise soldier', and the surprise soldier is the most important thing to strike later. One yin and one yang, one positive and one strange, which is exactly in line with the essence of the art of war. Tsk, that's amazing. ”

Pan Xianji shook his head and commented on this plan again. In a word, it's nothing more than a sycophant. But Hong Jixun, the main ,—— who came up with this scheme, was selectively forgotten by him.

Zhao Guo has a good temper, but he just smiles and doesn't say anything. He and Pan Xianer were not in the camp, they were outside the camp, and they saw the green mountains in the distance, the green fields were boundless, and there were streams on the side, flowing through them. Looking up at the sky, the white clouds change, and sometimes the wind rises, and the face is cold. He said leisurely: "Baiyun Canggou, vicissitudes, vicissitudes." Looking at the mountains and clouds, really, really can't help but make people suddenly feel that 'life in the world is like a drop in the ocean'. ”

Pan Xianji's sycophants came to an abrupt end.

I never found out that Zhao Guo was also an elegant person. Perhaps it was the perennial conquest that prompted him to have these feelings? Or maybe it's because you're used to seeing the gathering and dispersion of the war years, so you feel the feeling and feel small? The war is approaching, and suddenly hearing such a testimonial, Pan Xianer couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and asked: "The general will raise the lone army, enter the enemy's back, and be in the Jin Dynasty to strengthen the army, and fall into the place of life and death, but can there still be this Yaxing?" ”

Zhao Guo smiled slightly and said: "Life is emotional, what is the point of life and death?" As a courtier, the lord has an order, and the war is just a battle. Needless to say? ”

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and the company camp horn. Pan Xianer looked at Zhao Guo again, and his expression was very different.
