Chapter 715: Zhuang Yuan's Polemic
"The first thing is to wait for the wood to wither!" Zhuang Yuan said slowly, and snorted at the wine jar again, Han Mo immediately got up and stepped forward, and helped Zhuang Yuan take a big sip, Zhuang Yuan's dry and thin face, after two sips of wine, was already a little bright.
"Wood wither?" Han Mo carefully wiped the corners of Zhuang Yuan's mouth, full of doubts: "Teacher, how can this be explained?" ”
Zhuang Yuan asked, "Have you ever seen the Longshan Mountain Range during your trip to Qingguo?" ”
Han Mo nodded and said: "When I went to Qingguo, I went from the east road, but when I came back, I returned from the west road and saw Longshan. ”
"That'll be fine." Zhuang Yuan said with a smile: "The Longshan Mountain Range is not a stone mountain, but an earth and stone mountain, so the Longshan Mountain must be a continuous tree ......!" ”
Han Mo nodded and said, "Exactly." When I returned, the Baili Mountains were all lined with trees...... But what does this have to do with Sima Qingtian's attack? He frowned, puzzled: "Why wait until the wood is ......!" Speaking of this, Han Mo's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and then his face showed surprise, and he said softly: "Teacher, do you mean that Sima Qingtian is going to ...... Burning the mountain? ”
Zhuang Yuan's reminder made Han Mo suddenly realize.
Wood withering.
Naturally, it is necessary to wait until the vegetation dries up.
Now it is the late autumn season when things wither, the Longshan Mountains are continuous mountains and forests, at this time the leaves are falling one after another, the weeds are withering, a little time, it is the time when the weather is dry and dry, at that time the Longshan Mountains are full of dead wood and weeds, it is really like a huge fire point, the spark together, is bound to burn the prairies.
"If I were Sima Qingtian, facing Shang Zhongli, who was good at defense, and facing the Qing army that occupied a high point, I would never easily storm Longshan." Zhuang Yuan was extremely calm, showing the demeanor of the Ghost Valley Grandmaster: "Even if the strong attack is successful, the Wei army will inevitably suffer heavy losses...... Their purpose is to fight to the capital city, and they will not easily consume their troops. If I guessed correctly, the time of the Wei army's attack on Qing was carefully considered, Sima Qingtian even thought that Shang Zhongli would deploy a defense in Longshan before attacking Nanyang Pass, and he obviously also considered that Nanyang Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and would never be easily breached...... Therefore, the time when he launched an attack on Qingguo was to consider giving the Wei army sufficient time to recuperate, and even more to consider waiting for the Wei army to finish resting, it was the ......late autumn when the trees were dry! ”
Han Mo frowned, listening to Zhuang Yuan's analysis, he only felt his heart pounding, and suddenly he had a sense of admiration for the famous general of the Wei army who had never been masked.
According to Zhuang Yuan's analysis, Sima Qingtian is really a great general.
"The teacher is saying that before Sima Qingtian entered the customs, he had thought about burning Longshan?"
Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "For ordinary people, they may not have such bold ideas, but Sima Qingtian is the best offensive general in the world, and he should not let go of this opportunity." Now Shang Zhongli is in the Longshan array, two hundred miles of Longshan, there are many plants and trees, the Qingguo army is gathered on the Longshan, if a fire burns, the loss of the Qingguo army is predictable...... The military report you got that Sima Qingtian sent a small force to charge, which was nothing more than to cover up his intentions and confuse Shang Zhongli! ”
Han Mo was shocked in his heart.
Regardless of whether Sima Qingtian really wanted to burn Longshan or not, Zhuang Yuan understated it, but he talked about this earth-shattering strategy, which made Han Mo really admire this Ghost Valley Grandmaster in his heart.
This discarded head of the Ghost Valley is indeed worthy of being a master of sophistry, and his wisdom is incomparable.
Zhuang Yuan dialed a little, Han Mo only felt that this possibility was almost established, otherwise why would Wei Jun be slow to move?
Han Mo was not stupid, and even thought of how the Wei army would burn Longshan when the time came.
The Wei State has a powerful dark organization, the Black Flag, which is a group of real dark masters, and at the time of the Great War, Han Mo believed that among the Wei army, there must be a large number of Black Flag officials led by Du Wufeng, the blue wolf of the Western Lands.
At that time, the Wei army pretended to attack the mountain to attract the attention of the Qing army, and the black flag of the Wei State sneaked into the Longshan Mountain, setting fire everywhere, the grass and trees in the Longshan Mountain dried up, and it was a little bit.
A small group of Black Flag Officers infiltrated Rum Mountain, which was really not a difficult thing for the Dark Officers who were proficient in the art of infiltration.
"The teacher said that Sima Qingtian is waiting for two things, except waiting for Mu Ku, so what are you waiting for?" Han Mo pondered for a moment before asking softly.
"Alliance!" Zhuang Yuan said calmly.
Han Mo narrowed his eyes and said strangely: "Teacher, who are you talking about the Wei Army Alliance?" Wei and Feng are mortal enemies, and the people of Feng Country have never been out of the mountains and forests, so they will not form an alliance. ”
Zhuang Yuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, Busu Gannai is the king of the mountains and forests, the tiger in the forest, out of the forest, this tiger will not have much ability, and the people of the Wind Country will naturally not be the alliance of the Wei State!" ”
Han Mo was even more puzzled, and said in a low voice: "It's even more impossible for my Yan Kingdom. Dayan and Qingguo have just formed an alliance with their relatives, and if the emperor wants to form an alliance with the people of Wei, it is impossible to make peace with them! ”
Zhuang Yuan said indifferently: "The wind and clouds are changing, the world is competing for power, and Wei Qing is fighting, it is absolutely impossible for your Yan Kingdom to be just a bystander." As for Heqin, maybe at the moment of Heqin, your emperor really wanted to form an alliance with Qingguo and not get involved in the war, thus affecting the political situation within Yan State. But the tide of war is changing rapidly, and who can guarantee that your emperor will not change his original intention as the situation of war changes...... The actions of the state have always been based on interests. ”
"But...... The princess is still in Qingguo, will the emperor take the initiative to break the agreement? Han Mo frowned and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't the princess be in danger?" ”
"Those who achieve great things do not hesitate to tip!" Zhuang Yuan said solemnly: "If your emperor hesitates and cowers because of a daughter, he can only be a mediocre lord and will not be able to achieve great things." Merely...... Your Yan Kingdom is still sitting back and watching the development of the situation, and at present, during the first war of Wei and Qing, the situation is not yet clear, and your emperor and Manchu ministers are stupid, and they will not make a move at this time...... ”
Han Mo was a little embarrassed.
Zhuang Yuan talked about the emperor and ministers, just like talking about a group of children, and among these children, naturally they also included those important ministers of the Han family, even including his father.
It's just that in the eyes of this Ghost Valley Grandmaster, the situation in the world is in his chest, and he is coldly watching the disputes in the world, and the chess pieces on the chessboard are often fighting and killing, and there is indeed some child's play in his eyes.
"That's what it always means, that is, the alliance of Wei is not my Yan country." Han Mo frowned, even more puzzled, "The four kingdoms of Middle Earth, the Wei country is just like the Qing country, and the ally is neither the Feng country nor my Yan country, so ...... So who is that? ”
Zhuang Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, come on, let the teacher take a sip of wine, and talk slowly!" ”
Han Mo smiled helplessly, served Zhuang Yuan and drank another glass of wine, and then said leisurely: "Have you read "History of Qi"? ”
"History of Qi" is a history book about the history of the Qi State of the previous dynasty, Han Mo naturally read it, and nodded: "The student has read it!" ”
"Then of course you know that the talented Emperor Yong of the Qi State has done a shocking feat!"
"Beiban!" Han Mo blurted out.
Zhuang Yuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, maybe the people of the Central Plains have forgotten that in the desert in the north, there are still northern barbarians roaming." The Northern Barbarians were the most powerful people in the north of the Central Plains, and before Emperor Yong defeated the Northern Barbarians, the Central Plains people heard the name of the barbarians, and they were afraid in their hearts...... Although the Northern Barbarians were barbaric and vulgar, and not educated, it was undeniable that they were born warriors, brave and good at fighting. ”
Han Mo frowned, "Teacher, you mean...... In order to attack Qingguo, will Wei collude with the Northern Barbarians and lure wolves into the house? ”
Zhuang Yuan sighed lightly: "War is all about everything, and in order to defeat the enemy, any means can be used. The enemy of the enemy is the ally, the Northern Barbarians were beaten by Emperor Yong miserably, almost extinct, the remnants retreated to the depths of the desert, and they did not even dare to approach the Central Plains frontier, a large area of land outside the frontier is barren, and they have always had a deep grudge against the people of Qi in their hearts. At the beginning, the capital of Qi was in Shangjing, Middle Earth was divided into four, and the country of Qingguo was still in Shangjing, the northern barbarians were more than brave, and the wisdom was insufficient, they admitted death, and the Qingguo people built the capital in Shangjing, in the eyes of the northern barbarians, Qingguo replaced Qi to become their most hated enemy...... This group of barbarians has always lived in the desert, but they were beaten to the extreme north of the desert by Emperor Yong, far away from their homeland, and the hatred in their hearts can also be known. Although a hundred years have passed, this northern barbarian has never forgotten to kill back, and he is ashamed of the year! ”
"Embarrassed!" Han Mo said hatefully.
Han Mo has always believed that the disputes between the four countries are like four brothers fighting for family property, it is an internal matter of the brothers, and everyone is knocking and knocking behind closed doors, and it is also an inevitable historical trend to move from division to reunification.
This kind of internal struggle is not based on right and wrong.
Thinking of unifying the Central Plains, as long as there is this ideal and those who fight for it, they are all heroes, and there is no one who is righteous and who is unjust.
But collusion with foreigners, that's another matter.
Zhuang Yuan saw Han Mo's face slightly annoyed, shook his head with a smile, and said warmly: "Child, you are still too young, the so-called Li Ling Zhi is faint, you still don't understand." The emperor of Wei was an ambitious person, and in order to achieve his goal, he would do whatever it took to collude with foreign clans, which was not a big deal for him. Wei State and Qing State fought a war with Qing State, and returned with a feather, for more than ten years, lying on the salary to taste the courage, this time the big attack, will never be like the last time, only know the lone army. He squinted his eyes and said in a flat voice: "Sima Qingtian is a smart person. He is the general of the Wei State, and in the past ten years, there has not been a day when he has not sought to fight again...... With his qualifications, if he asked for war, the extremely competitive Emperor of Wei would have already agreed. However, Sima Qingtian has endured so far, which shows that his preparations for this battle are extremely sufficient. In the past ten years, Wei has accumulated troops and horses, accumulated grain and grass, mined and smelted iron, and most of the country's financial resources have been used to expand armaments and wars...... With such intentions, Sima Qingtian will definitely contact all the forces that will help in this battle. With his thoughts, it is impossible not to think of the ...... of the Northern Barbarians, who regard the great enemy of the Qing people! ”
"The students also heard that on the border of Mobei, it seems that there have been many northern barbarians in the past two years, and they are ready to ......!" Han Mo's brows squeezed together: "Could it really be that he really reached an agreement with the Wei people?" ”
Zhuang Yuan smiled faintly: "Although it's just a guess, but ...... The possibilities are high. ”
"If the northern barbarians attack from the north, the Northeast Corps led by King Yanping of Qing will inevitably be pinned down on the northern front." Han Mo said: "The Northeast Corps of Qingguo now has 50,000 troops...... However, it is necessary to protect the four northeastern counties of Qingguo, and among them, Gaoyang County has descendants of the Northern Barbarians, if the Northern Barbarians really attack from the north, the descendants of the Northern Barbarians of Gaoyang County will inevitably take the opportunity to respond...... Wang Yanping's 50,000 troops, but he didn't know if he could stop the northern barbarians. ”
"If the Northern Barbarians really join forces with the Wei State, the Qing State will be attacked from the front and back." Zhuang Yuan said softly: "At that time, the Qing army on the front line of Longshan will definitely suffer a great blow in morale...... In the battle between soldiers, morale cannot be ignored...... In ancient times, there was a Cao Di polemic, a decline, and then exhausted, exhausted will be a defeated army, if the morale of the Qing army is hit, although there is a famous general Shang Zhongli in charge, but in the face of the strong Wei army, it is also more auspicious! ”
Han Mo bowed slightly.
Originally, Han Mo was still very vague about the situation of the Wei Qing dispute, but today, Zhuang Yuan's words suddenly opened up in front of him, and at this time, he realized that the Wei army was well prepared for this battle, and the Qing army commanded by Shang Zhongli was only afraid that he would have to face an extremely difficult situation.
There are strong enemies outside Qingqing, and there is a post-party that is ready to move inside, the monarch is faint and the ministers, and a business Zhongli can support the Daqing Empire that the building is about to fall?
