。。。 I'm ashamed of the rewards of my classmates.,So I'm not going out today.,The second one is sent.。。。

——

Liu San and his staff surnamed Cheng hurried to the Chinese army, because he came from the back of the team, so he arrived the latest. When he arrived, all the generals had arrived.

The place where the pre-war meeting was held was a field, just on the side of the road, and some soldiers had already cleared the weeds and shrubs in the field, leveled the ground slightly, and moved a few chairs for Yang, Hu, Gao, Fu and others to sit on. As for the other generals, they stood around with their whole banners draped up.

More than 100 Chinese soldiers surrounded dozens of paces away and set up a cordon to prevent the soldiers from entering by mistake.

Yang and Hu are the main generals, sitting in the center; Gao and Fu are deputy generals, and they sit opposite each other.

Seeing that the staff surnamed Cheng also came, Yang Wanhu stood up, arched his hand, and said: "Please don't be surprised, sir, this is a military discussion, and the general is going to read out to the generals the secret plan of Lord Zhao and Mr. Pan to seize Xu." Before leaving the camp the day before yesterday, the adults repeatedly explained that except for those who were more than 1,000 households in the army, they should not let others know about this secret plan. Although Mr. is from the camp in Shanzhou, he must have been familiar with this strategy for a long time. However, military law is like a mountain, but the general does not dare to violate it. ......, please go and rest for a while? ”

It's hard for Yang Wanhu to be able to say such euphemistic and polite words. Naturally, the surname Cheng was not surprised, saluted the generals, and waited outside the cordon.

The sun is sinking in the west, hanging in the sky, and the sky is full of fire and clouds, red and very lovely. Under the setting sun, the soldiers on the road in the distance were shining with shining armor; The red military flag is even more set against each other, and it looks more and more red. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, and although it was not as hot as in the afternoon, it still carried a hot breath in the face. The generals stood for a while, and the armor was already drenched in sweat.

Yang Wanhu looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "Shicai received a military report that our army in the area of Weishan Lake is less than forty miles away from Xuzhou. ”

The generals whispered: "It took so long to walk twenty miles? ”

"It's slow enough."

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait for them? ......, when will this be? ”

Hu Zhong, who was sitting next to Yang Wanhu, frowned, coughed, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. General Yang is about to read out the military order, how can you talk to each other? ”

All the generals closed their mouths together, puffed up their chests in unison, and all pressed their knives and said, "Please give the general an order!" ”

When there is no order, they may turn heads and ears because of their original carelessness; But once a military order was issued not to speak, the military discipline was strictly enforced, and no one spoke again.

Not only did no one talk nonsense, but there was not even any movement.

This military meeting was held in the field, and it was already evening, and it was inevitable that there would be a lot of mosquitoes, and they were still flying around the crowd. The generals had armor on their bodies, but they didn't have them on their faces or hands, and they were inevitably attacked by them, but none of them moved, not even a little to drive the mosquitoes away, and they all waited intently for Yang Wanhu to give a military order.

Yang Wanhu nodded with satisfaction, took out a document from his sleeve, first unfolded it, looked down at it, then raised his head, and said to the generals: "Although our army in Weishan Lake is still forty miles away from Xuzhou, we don't have to wait any longer. ”

Including Liu San, all the generals held their heads high, did not squint, and quietly waited for him to continue.

"Why not wait? As you say, precisely because our army marches fast, and theirs marches slowly. Our army set off at this time, just in time to join them in the north of Xuzhou. ”

When the generals heard this, doubts arose in their hearts, north of Xuzhou?

Their army came from the west, and it stands to reason that it should have arrived in the east of Xuzhou, but why did they join forces with the troops of Weishan Lake in the north of Xuzhou? Of course, they don't know it now, but it's precisely because of Zhao Guo and Pan Xianer's clever tricks.

Yang Wanhu seemed to see their doubts, no longer sold Guanzi, went straight in, raised the Chinese book in his hand, and said: "The adult's Kexu secret plan is in this paper document. "I didn't hurry, and I spoke to everyone. When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed.

But why? It turns out that Zhao Guo and Pan Xianer's plan is really wonderful. The overall process is roughly divided into two steps. First of all, it is to use the "suspicious strategy"; Secondly, it is to use the "plan to make money".

What is a "suspicious strategy"?

After joining forces with the Weishanhu Yan army, the troops were again divided into two groups.

A Yan army based on Weishan Lake, "to the full extent of the banner", not only to hold the banner of the Weishan Lake troops, but also to Yang and Hu Zhu generals of the banner also handed over to them, fraud as the main force, so they were stationed in the north of Xuzhou City, taking into account the east of Xuzhou City, thinking that they were "suspicious soldiers".

At the same time, the real main force, that is, the nearly 5,000 people under the command of Yang, Hu, Gao, and Fu, did not carry the banner, bypassed Xuzhou, and was stationed in the south of the city.

"The south of the city is the road from Xuzhou to the west of Zhejiang, that is, the retreat of the Xuzhou army. Since the 'main force' of our army in the north and east of the city is all over the mountains and fields, and the momentum is pressing, then no matter whether the Xuzhou army dares to fight our army or not, and whether they have the courage to go out of the city to fight in the field, first of all, they will definitely do everything possible to recapture the retreat of their army. Otherwise, our army will take the prestige of Shanzhou's victory south and take it by surprise; Second, if their retreat is in the hands of our army, the morale of the defenders in the city can be imagined, and it must be low. And once morale is low, how can the city defend it? ”

Therefore, as long as the Yan army puts on a posture of choking its way back, Pan Xianer calculated that the defenders of Xuzhou will be 100% out of the city and fight.

Of course, if the defenders of Xuzhou knew that it was the main force of the Yan army that was choking their way back, maybe they would hesitate; But now that the "suspicious tactic" is used, it is equivalent to telling the defenders in the city that it is a weak army that is strangled here. The guard will "see the hunting heart", how can he hold back the intention of attacking?

"Sun Tzu" has a cloud: "The terrain of the husband is also, and the help of the soldiers is also." Expect the enemy to win, calculate the danger far and near, and the way of the general is also. Knowing this, those who use war will win; Those who do not know this and use the war will be defeated. ”

In battlefield confrontations, many times the battle of wits and courage is all about the grasp of the enemy's mind, that is, the so-called "anticipation of the enemy". Why do you say "attack the heart first"? The more you know and grasp the enemy's mind, the more likely you are to win. Even in many cases, before the battle has even begun, the wise man can judge: "Our army will win this battle." This has nothing to do with whether the strategy is clever or not, but whether it is a thorough grasp of the enemy's mind!

is also as a poem says: "Expect the enemy to know the opportunity in every inch, and don't work hard to talk about "Yin Fu"." Pan Xian'er's plan is exactly what it is!

……

The night was deep, and it was three o'clock in the morning.

Xuzhou City Tower, Song Xingzu has just checked the city defense facilities again, because of a busy day, a little tired, just ready to rest for a while, there is a horse to report urgently.

"Report! Marshal. ”

"What's the alarm?"

"Big things are not good."

"Tell me."

"The Yan army Yang, Hu, Gao, Fu and Weishan Lake Yan army will join forces in the north of our city."

"This would have been known. Didn't they already meet more than half an hour ago? Why make such a fuss and report again? ”

"Just now, after the meeting, the Yan army divided a group of men and horses and went to the south of our city!"

Song Xingzu was originally lying on his side on the Hu bed, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but get up, and asked urgently: "Is there a Lu Yanjun going to the south of the city?" ”

"Exactly."

"Who is the one who leads the army? But Yang, Hu, Gao, Fu? ”

"Neither. The villain looked at his military flag from a distance and saw that there was a word 'willow' written on the flag. ”

"Willow? ……。 Song Xingzu frowned and thought about it, and then asked the staff on the side, "What general surnamed Liu is in the Yan army?" ”

"The surname Liu,......。 There don't seem to be any famous generals. There is only one deputy Qianhu named Liu San, who is very good at playing the flute, and seems to be appreciated by King Yan. ”

It is not only Haidong that has a general political department, but Zhejiang and western Zhejiang also have their own intelligence system. Therefore, although Liu San is only a deputy thousand households, because he has been received by Deng She, there are quite a few people in the Zhejiang army who know his name.

"Deputy Qianhu? Very good at playing the flute? Quite appreciated by King Yan? ......, hehe, but it's also unusual! So where are Yang Wanhu, Hu Zhong and others now? ”

"The three generals Yang, Hu, and Fu are all in the north of the city, and Gao Yanshi is alone in the east of the city."

"Ben knows. It seems that as the general expected, the direction of the Yan army's main attack is indeed in the north of the city. Let me just say, the rear of the Yan army is Shandong, and they will definitely not abandon the north of the city, but they will attack our city from the south, east or west of the city. They were originally running for a long distance, and the guest army was going deep, and the most important thing at the moment was naturally to watch the back road first, so how could they give up the near and far to attack our city from the east, west, and south? ”

Song Xingzu's judgment still has some truth.

As he said, the rear of the Yan army is Shandong, and if it is attacked from the north of the city, of course, it is close to Shandong in the rear, not afraid of the enemy's back, and can advance and retreat freely.

Song Xingzu thought he had a plan, laughed happily a few times, turned his face gloomy, and said angrily: "It's just hateful!" ”

"What does the marshal hate?"

"Yan Jun is so underestimating me and waiting! How? Do you think this handsome is so unbearable? Only one courtier who can play the flute was sent, and he wanted to choke the retreat of our army? It's really too deceitful! Song Xingzu jumped down from the Hu bed, turned around on the ground barefoot a few times, and asked the horse again, saying, "Do you know how many people there are in the Yan army that went to the south of my city?" ”

"It's dark and the night is deep, and I can't see clearly. Judging only by the number of torches, it was about a thousand people. ”

"I'm angry! One courtier, with only a thousand people, wants to occupy the south of my city! Yang, Hu, Gao, Fu, and others also look too much at it for no one in my city! Song Xingzu strode barefoot, returned to the Hu bed, picked up the long knife placed next to the bed, "Bang" out of the sheath, and resolutely ordered, "Pass my military order, adjust the pace and ride two thousand, and prepare to go out of the city!" ”

The staff on the side asked, "Dare to ask the marshal, why did you go out of the city?" ”

"The south of the city is my retreat, and I must not fall into the hands of the Yan army. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to my morale. Since Yan Jun looked down on Yu me so much, and only sent a courtier to defend it, Ben Shuai naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and he would take advantage of his unstable foothold to give him a head-on blow! ”

"At this time, it was late at night, and the enemy's situation was unknown. The news that Tanma knows is only seen from a distance, and he doesn't know if it's true or not. If we rush out of the army, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to our army. The Art of War: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not lose a hundred battles'. Dare to be humble, please think twice about the marshal! ”

"Think twice? Think twice! 'Just for the distance to see'? Is it possible that what you see with your own eyes will still be fake? The names of Yang and Hu generals have long been heard of by Ben Shuai, and they are all brave men. Just from the fact that they actually sent a courtier to stop my retreat, it can be seen that they are all unscrupulous. Ben Shuai has never heard of it, the generals of Haidong, the steady and experienced people have no Zhao and Bi, the good and resourceful people have no Zhang and Qing, and the most famous ones are Wen and Chen. But now, it's these rats who have come to offend me, hum, hum! Why think again? What to fear! ”

"Zhao, Bi", he said Zhao Guo and Bi Qianniu; "Zhang, Qing", he said Zhang Xiaoer and Qing Qianxing; "Wen and Chen", of course, are Wen Huaguo and Chen Hu.

"That's what I said. But marshal, look at the night outside the tent, it is so dark and dull that it is really not appropriate to go into battle rashly! ”

"It is precisely because of the deep night that Ben Shuai wants to go out of the army at this time! He was a guest army, running long distances, and he had just arrived, and he had not yet had time to familiarize himself with the terrain outside the city; And our army has been stationed in the city for a long time, and we have long known the surrounding terrain. This is to take advantage of the time and place to be in my favor. How can you let go of such a good opportunity? ”

"If the marshal must go to war, please tell Lord Lu."

"You don't need to say it, Ben Shuai will inform him too. This time he went out of the city to fight at night, and he also needed to borrow some military horses to use. ”

Song Xingzu was not in a hurry to put on his shoes, reversed the long knife, inserted the blade into the ground, and then put his hands on the crutches, and passed down a military order: "In addition to transferring the headquarters of 2,000 out of the city, send a herald to see Lu Ju." Tell him that Ben Shuai has decided to go out of the city at night and attack the Yan army, but there are not enough soldiers and horses, so he asked him to help. It doesn't take too much, only 500 people are enough! ”

"I don't know what the marshal's plan is to break the enemy? How to go out of the city to fight the Yan army? ”

"Ben Shuai personally led two thousand cavalry, went out of the north gate of the city, and directly attacked Liu's army; Jiaolu Ju sent 500 people out of the west gate of the city, and attacked the three armies of Liu from the back of the battle. Then ask Lu Ju to lead the rest of the men and horses to strictly defend the city, in case the Yan army in the north and east of the city take the opportunity to attack the city. This is the plan of this commander. ”

Speaking from his heart, Song Xingzu is worthy of being a battlefield general, and it is not easy to come up with such a strategy in a moment's effort. It is not surprising that his strategy, "go out of the north gate of the city and directly attack the three armies of Liu"; At the same time, Lu Ju was asked to send 500 people out of the west gate of the city to "attack the three armies of Liu from the back of the battle".

As he said before, the defenders of Xuzhou are indeed very familiar with the surrounding terrain, with the help of the night, the two armies are attacked before and after, if the Yan army sent to guard the south of the city is really only Liu San, a thousand people, when the foothold is not stable, suddenly subject to such an offensive, it is really very likely to be defeated and leave.

It's just a pity that there was a sheep uncle in the Jin Dynasty, who once said such a sentence: "The world is unsatisfactory, and Heng ten is seven or eight." Soon, Song Xingzu will deeply understand the meaning of these words.
