Nang Jialu thought that Deng She preached to fight Huihe and Wuping, but he was "pretending to be a momentum". He was right.

Those who are good at fighting seek it from the situation, and do not blame others.

Deng She has been in the army for many years, he has heard and seen it, he is skilled in the army, he has come to the army, from small battles to big battles, from big battles to small battles, after several wars, history books, military books are all observed, where there is gain, it will be recorded, there are theories, there are examples, contact with himself, combined with experience, it can be said that he has entered the hall in the art of war.

He deeply understood that the real purpose was not so much to seek battle and to require bravery from the soldiers, but to seek a favorable strategic situation. The so-called "force in the form, and in the potential". If there is a favorable strategic situation, just like the article is made by nature, the clever hand will be obtained, and if you take advantage of the situation, you will win the battle. Why is it overwhelming? The momentum prevails, and the defeat of the other party is a matter of time.

Since ancient times, soldiers have all attached importance to the situation.

"Potential" can be followed, and "potential" can be created. The trend of self-interest, follow the trend; If it is not good for your own side, change it. There are two basic requirements for "building momentum", one of which is to be dangerous, or "break the water in the embankment of a thousand feet", "turn the log in the valley of ten thousand zhang", or "put it in the place of death and then live", such as Han Xin's "backwater formation".

Second, it is strange. It is necessary to take it by surprise, so that the other party does not intend to do so, and it is difficult to prevent it. Before the momentum is formed, it is necessary to be stable and paralyze the other party; Once the situation is achieved, the other party will not know the cause, do not know what to do, unable to judge, unable to respond. Like Dunshe's voice, the east and west.

It's a pity that it fell short.

He immediately made a decision to fight Yizhou instead. It is easy to fight Yizhou, but it is difficult to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, he must build momentum again, and after careful consideration, he decided to repeat the old trick, and still attack the west.

His intention to fight Wuping and Huihe was exposed, it doesn't matter, it's not okay if it's false, it's real.

"If you can't be virtual, it's real, and if you can't, you're virtual." If you can't deceive the enemy with falsehood, you can use reality, and if you can't deceive the enemy with reality, you can use falsehood. At first, he claimed that he wanted to go to the front line, but he took the Quang Ninh front as the "east" and "virtual". This time, he claimed that he wanted to fight Wuping and Huihe, because he thought that Wuping and Huihe were "east" and "real".

It is fake for him to fight Daning, he still wants to fight Wuping and Huihe.

It's just that if you want to succeed, you need to use one more trick: "encircle the point to help, avoid the real and make trouble".

Deng She stayed in Yizhou for three days, first, to recuperate, second, to wait for Zhao Guo's grain and grass to arrive, third, to wait for Shijiabao to discover his fine work, and fourth, to wait for the news that he was going to beat Huihe to reach the ears of Buddhist slaves.

On the night of the third day, the grain and grass arrived.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the meticulous work mixed with the rout returned one after another. He sent out a lot of fine works, but few of the family treasures were found, and most of them were unharmed. Carefully reported and investigated: "The villain only turned back when he arrived in Daning." Before the villain turned back, there were about more than 10,000 remnants of Shijiabao. Many of Zhang Jujing's military horses in the rout did not enter Daning and went to Xingzhong Prefecture. ”

Zhang Jujing was originally in Xingzhou, far away from Yizhou, and later because of the war with Sha Liu Er, he went north to Xingzhongzhou, located between Yizhou and Daning, and was more than 100 miles away from each other. Although he was killed in battle, some of his generals escaped, gathered thousands of people, and withdrew to Xingzhong Prefecture.

"How is the defense of Daning City?"

"The villain watched from afar, with dense flags and golden drums, and it seemed that the defense was very tight."

"What about the rout?"

"There are four city gates in Daning, three of which are closed, leaving only the south gate, and letting the soldiers enter the city. All the soldiers who return to the city must be strictly inspected and reported to their own battalion number first. Those who fail to report their own battalion number will be beheaded. After reporting the number of the battalion, and then the people who are familiar with the battalion come forward to identify it, and those who do not identify it correctly will be beheaded. ”

The precautions are indeed strict, no wonder this meticulous work can't be mixed in.

"What about Xingzhongzhou?"

On the way back, the villain deliberately went around and took a look. Compared with Daning, Xingzhong Prefecture is chaotic and completely disorderly. The villain pretended to be a rout of Daning, looking for someone to inquire, and heard that Zhang Jujing was dead, the dragons were leaderless, and the generals in the city had different opinions, and some wanted to continue to retreat west and return to Xingzhou; There are those who want to defect to Daning; There are those who want to stick to Xingzhongzhou. Two groups have already left, and it's not clear where they've gone. ”

Xingzhong Prefecture is not big, it is a lower state, and the remnants of the army are afraid that they will not be able to hold it, and there are no people who are in charge, and it is reasonable for them to have different hearts.

After asking, Deng She called Bi Qianniu and ordered him to reward him heavily, but he didn't mention it. After a quarter of an hour, he came back with a detailed work, and Deng She's same question, like this, repeated again and again, and asked all the details when he came back, and he had a general understanding of the situation in Xingzhong Prefecture and Daning, and he was confident.

Soon after nightfall, he summoned his generals.

He said: "When the meticulous workers come back, I have carefully asked Daning about the truth and decided to leave the army early tomorrow morning, what do you think?" ”

Although Tong Shengyang, Lu Qianshi and others are not resourceful people, they also know the sinister. Lu Qianshi said: "Our army is more than 300 miles away from Daning, and there are many people on the road, and it is difficult to hide the tracks. ”

"It's hard to cover up your tracks, my 20,000 cavalry will attack the city, and I can't reap the effect of the surprise attack, and the battle will be very difficult." Tong Shengyang said.

Lu Qianwu said: "The battle is difficult to fight, there are many green troops near Daning, and if they besiege it, our army will be in danger." ”

Deng She was stunned and said, "A little green army, what is it?" How can I resist my iron ride! ”

"Don't be careless!" Li Ye couldn't help it, and came out of his head, repeating what he had said before, and repeatedly admonishing him.

Deng She turned his face and smiled, and said: "You can see the danger, let me ask you, can the Tartars of Huihe and Wuping see it?" ”

"Megumi?"

"The reason why I want to fight Daning is to pretend to trap our army in a dead end, lure Hui and Tartar out of the city, and then our army surrounds the point to send reinforcements, give full play to the advantage of cavalry, annihilate it, and then attack Huihe City. Strive to defeat the right flank of the Tartars in a war, so that it is difficult for Nanga to sleep and eat. ”

The generals looked at each other in shock, and Li Ye asked, "Hypocrisy?" What's the hypocrisy? ”

When it comes to the main question, I am afraid that the fake will come true. Deng She said: "You come and see." Spreading out the map and pointing out the country, he said, "Huihe is a hundred miles away from Daning." Daning is near the water negative mountain, there are seven gold mountains in the north, ten miles long from east to west, five miles wide from north to south. When you come to Daning from Huihe, you must pass by this mountain. I have heard from Mr. Wu that there are many long pines on this mountain, covering the sky and the sun. In winter, the trees lose their leaves, and the pine trees have little effect, so this is the best place to set up an ambush. ”

He turned to the crowd and said, "What our army needs to do is to wait for Hui and the Tartars to come,—— deliberately make a defeat, lure him into the mountains, and set up an ambush ......" He stretched out his hand and slashed down, "Annihilate them all." ”

This is called a defeat strategy, and it is not difficult to implement. Tong Shengyang asked, "It's not difficult to lure Hui and Tartar into an ambush, but how can the general be sure that they will come?" What if he shrunk his head as a tortoise, even if he saw that our army was in danger and he could take advantage of the opportunity, he still refused to leave the city? ”

"I had my own plan to force him to leave the city." Deng She smiled, didn't say more, sent troops to generals, assigned tasks, and said, "General Liu, you lead five hundred people, wear Tartar uniforms, play the banner of Daning, pretend to be a rout, go ten miles first, and deceive the city gate of Daning." ”

General Liu, that is, Liu Yang, his own cavalry army, was transferred to Liaoyang with Lu Qianwu, and Deng She transferred him to Lu Qian's 12th battalion. In the first battle of Yiju, many kinds of army armor were captured, and 500 sets were not a problem.

Deng She paused, and then said, "The Shijiabao guards the city gate very tightly, you need to be careful. I don't ask you to cheat it, just look like it's enough. "Do a full set of dramas, although Daning is fake, it must be treated as real, so that the family treasure will not be suspicious, and the Buddhist slave will believe it.

Liu Yang took the order.

"General of the mainland, you lead 2,000 people from the Shenji Battalion into the mountain first, choose an ambush site, and wait for Hui and Tatar to enter the mountain. The horses he carried were handed over to General Lu Er before entering the mountain. The ambush has been set, no military orders are allowed, and those who leave their posts without permission will be beheaded; There is a pawn noisy exposé, beheaded. ”

Lu Qianwu took the order.

"Second General Lu, you lead 8,000 people, divide 3,000 to the mainland general, leave the horses together, and set up an ambush on the mountain. The other 5,000 people, 10,000 horses in the army, two horses per capita, do not go into the mountains, look for places on the side of the mountains and valleys, and wait for them. When I command it, you will kill it. Deng She lowered his voice and whispered a few words to him.

Lu Qianxi was ordered.

"General Tong, the remaining men and horses of your department and the second general of the army, as well as the baggage battalion, I personally led it, brought more siege equipment, and followed General Liu. Regardless of whether the city gate was opened or not, three cannons rang out, and they were killed together. "Tong Sheng's Ministry is full of Jurchens, and military discipline is not as strict as that of the Han soldiers, so Deng She did not send them to set up an ambush, but brought them to attack the city.

Tong Shengyang took over his life.

"General Li, after our troops leave the city, the city defense will be handed over to you, remember not to lose."

Li Ye answered.

"Tonight, the third watch buries the pot, the fourth watch cooks, and the fifth watch sets off!"

……

Huihe City, the right wing of the Yuan army.

The Buddhist slave was restless.

Zhang Jujing was defeated and died, too unexpected, the famous Shuangbi of Liaoxi, fought with Guan Duo, fought with Sha Liu Er, and tried to keep Liaoxi safe for several months, who doesn't know his name Liaoxi? Just because of a momentary negligence, it was gone.

The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and it is really a knife to lick the blood.

Dunshe knew that the two had fought each other. However, Deng She was not the main general of the red scarf at that time, he was not impressed, but he only remembered that a young general almost broke through his formation and captured him alive. Later, Mrs. Wang and her entourage parted ways, and Wen Huaguo and others changed their way and escaped with a plan. For this point, the Buddhist slave still remembers it vividly, and now it is expected that eighty percent is also Deng She's strategy.

So far, the evaluation of Deng She is either "forbearance without relatives" or "forbearance and decisiveness", and the Buddhist slaves do not approve of it. Pan Cheng and Nang Jialu had never fought directly with Deng She, and the basis of their judgment was in Deng She's previous battles, and the Buddha family slave was different, and he had personal experience.

He believes that Deng She is a fierce and cunning person, and he deserves to be a vicious wolf.

Yongping's Daru Huachi was chopped alive by him, and the governor was hanged by him, and the head of the violent corpse city was so cruel and barbaric. On his way to escape, he dared to charge thousands of cavalry with hundreds of men; When he fought in the twin cities, more than 10,000 people dared to attack the enemy from a long distance, go deep into the enemy's territory, drive the soldiers like dogs, and regard their lives as child's play.

A few days ago, Shi Jiabao sent a messenger and sent news that he had caught a few of Deng She's fine works, so he concluded that Deng Sheming repaired the plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang, thinking that he beat Huihe as a fake and hit Daning as true. Daning lost his troops, and Shijiabao was afraid that the city defense would be unstable, so he asked the Buddha to send some people out to respond.

The Buddhist slave flatly refused.

Do one thing as a front for another? He thought so, but he didn't. Deng She is cunning, if he really fights Daning, will he easily show his feet? Perhaps, the purpose of his deliberately exposed horse's feet is to trick the Buddhist slaves into reinforcing Daning, he is not false in cultivating the plank road, but he is afraid that it is not Chen Cang, but it is also a plank road.

"What do you think?"

He said that he wanted to fight Huihe, but he was caught by Daning, it seems that Huihe is bright and false, and Daning is dark and real. Is that really the case? Soldiers don't get tired of deceit. Xiao Deng's more than 20,000 cavalry, a hundred miles of land, day and night, his troops are pointing to Daning, or to Huihe? Is Huihe real, or is Daning true? Who is sure to break it out? Who dares to break it out for sure? ”

"Your Excellency has a point. If I agree to Daning's request for help, I will go out of the city, and the empty will not be Daning, but my Huihe. ”

"Cruel and cunning people must not be left unguarded."

A guard came in from outside the hall: "Report to the lord, scout back to the city." ”

"See you soon."

Zhang Jujing's army was defeated, and the Buddhist slaves sent many scouts to the vicinity of Yizhou to find out information. The scout came in, knelt down and saluted, and said, "The villain left Yizhou yesterday morning, and the nearest place to spy is twenty miles away from Yizhou. The city of Yiju is heavily defended, and looking at its banner, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people defending the city, all of whom are foot soldiers. ”

"Have you seen anyone leaving the city?"

"The day before yesterday, I saw tens of thousands of red thief cavalry out of the city, led by Deng Thief, and it seemed that they were going to Daning. Other than that, no one else was seen leaving the city. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Are you sure that the Deng thief went to Daning?"

"The villain followed for a while, and the direction should be Daning."

The Buddhist slave Huo Ran got up, clasped his hands, and lifted them in front of his abdomen. The Mongolian physique is easy to gain weight, he is pampered, his belly is huge, and he turned around the case a few times, he hesitated and asked, "Did you really go to Daning?" If you want to go to Daning, you must pass through Xingzhong Prefecture, Zhang Jujing's remnant army, is there any movement? ”

"Lord Zhang's old department was in a mess, and Shijiabao passed an order to order them to be stationed on the spot, but many people refused to obey and wanted to withdraw to Xingzhou. In the past few days, two or three groups of men and horses have been withdrawn, and some military horses have gone to Daning. There are less than 3,000 left in the city, and they can't protect themselves, so it is estimated that they will not stop the Deng thief. ”

"Did you really go to Daning?" The Buddhist slave muttered to himself, he refused to believe it, and thought, "Illusion, illusion." He hurried to the map, leaned in front of him, and looked at it, his stomach pressed against the wall, very uncomfortable, and he stepped back a little, and heard the hurried footsteps outside the hall, and another scout returned.

The scout came back a little late, and there was new information.

He said: "The villain left Yizhou last night, there is an emergency military situation, report to the adult. On the way, he met the scouts of the other tribes, and asked for their spare horses, six horses for one man, and the men did not stop, so that although he was half a day late, he had returned to the city in the same time as the scouts who had come before.

"Speak!"

"The villain is responsible for the scope of exploration, which is the northeast of Uiju. Last night, I saw a group of people and horses, coming from the direction of Quang Ninh, waving the banner of red thieves, passing through Yizhou without entering, and rushing straight to my Huihe. ”

"See clearly?"

"Clear."

"How many?"

"This man and horse are very well guarded, and the horses are scattered for thirty miles. The villain couldn't get closer, so he had no choice but to give up his mount and sneak closer, and the nearest place was about seven or eight miles away. It was dark and they couldn't see the flag clearly, they didn't light torches, they walked in the dark, looking at the length of the queue, about 20,000 people. ”

"No torches?"

"Not only did there be no torches, there was no sound of golden drums, and there were not even the sounds of people or horses, it was quiet."

"Walking at night without torches, quietly." The Buddhist slave was silent in thought, his hands were clasped together, and he unconsciously rubbed his belt, and the hall was quiet, and the wind was outside the hall. He said: "What a Deng thief, what a Deng thief!" Sure enough, the bright also repaired the plank road, and the dark also crossed the plank road. He was sure that this Biao man and horse must have come for Huihe, "Fortunately, there are Tanma sent by this official to Yizhou, I didn't expect you, right?" Xiao Deng! Xiao Deng, Xiao Deng, this official has already seen through your intentions! ”

He slapped the case and said, "Tell Shijiabao that Xiao Deng's target is not Daning, but Huihe!" The three armies were sent to be on strict alert. ”

……

"Report to the general, I don't see any signs of reinforcing Daning in Huihe City, since last night, on the contrary, the precautions have been even worse, and the daily defenders on the head of the city, identifying their banners, have increased to three thousand."

Tong Shengyang and the others had a sad look on their faces, and Deng She laughed.

1. There are many long pines on the mountain.

"Seven Golden Mountains,...... There are many long pines, a look is gloomy, the northerners are all livestock here, and the mountains of the Weijing are also".
