For He Zongzhe, he is saved and saved, and he is saved if he is not saved.

What is "the enemy must be saved"? It's the place where you hit, and the other party can't save it. I know there may be a trap, but I have to save it. If you use soldiers to this extent, you can be regarded as an expert. Mobilize the enemy's army according to your own deployment. However, He Zongzhe is not easy to match in the end. Before leaving the army, he summoned the generals and asked: "Can there be military documents delivered to Linfen in Jinji?" ”

"Estimating the time, the messenger sent by the general to Linfen should be almost there. Dashuai may have a palindromic message in two or three days. ”

"Qing Qianxing's troops were very sharp, and they conquered two cities in a night and a half. Now, Ningyang has also fallen. If Yang Wanhu cooperates again, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out for two or three days. Can't wait for the palindrome of the big handsome. I have made up my mind, so I will send troops to help Wenshang. However, according to the general's estimation, Yidu took such a lot of trouble to open the bow left and right, and what he did was nothing more than to lure our army out of the city, so it must have set up an ambush near Wenshang. Therefore, this time to aid Wenshang, the decision will be as follows. ”

As soon as the generals "brushed", they all got up and listened to the military orders.

"There are more than 6,000 garrisons in our city, and this time, 2,000 people will be transferred out of the city. After leaving the city, only take the avenue, all the mountains, forests, swamps, all bypass! On the march, it is necessary to widely distribute scouts and sentinels, and if there is any disturbance, they should be stationed on the spot immediately. When we arrived outside the city, there were three things to pay attention to.

"First, seek self-protection before attacking the enemy. The barracks must be set up. Don't be impatient! Second, if our army is alone, the enemy may have an ambush, and when we encounter the enemy, we must be decisive and forceful, fight when we fight, and defend when we don't fight, and we must not hesitate or hesitate. The three, in the face of the enemy's engagement, do not expect to be able to defeat the Yidu Red Thief, as long as they can hold the barracks, echo with the city of Wenshang, and strive to protect Wenshang, it is a credit!

"The purpose of our army is to hold out for three to five days, wait for the marshal's reply to arrive, or wait for the reinforcements dispatched by the marshal to arrive, and then find an opportunity to fight the enemy! Before that, do not seek merit, but first seek no fault.

"In addition, in order to confuse the red thief, the general planned to send another army to Ningyang with great fanfare while sending troops to Wenshang, making a posture of wanting to recover Ningyang, thinking that it was a surprise soldier. If you can confuse the enemy's view because of this, that's the best. Even if it can't be confused, it can be used as an echo of the Wen Shang Army. No matter which of these two horses is caught in an enemy ambush, the other needs to be quickly rescued! ”

He Zongzhe's overall response can be summed up in five words in a nutshell: "One word long snake formation." ”

In terms of Yidu, he used the city as an army, and planned to use Ningyang and several other cities to surround Yanzhou, so as to force He Zongzhe to send an army; And He Zongzhe sent two armies one after another, plus the headquarters of Yanzhou, forming a long snake formation. If the army he sent to Wenshang is compared to a snake head, then the army he sent to Ningyang is a snake tail, and the Yanzhou headquarters is a snake body. If Yidu hits the head of the snake, the tail of the snake should; If the tail of the snake is hit, the head of the snake should; If you hit the snake body,—— take advantage of the weakness and take Yanzhou directly, then the head and tail of the snake should be in unison. In addition, if the head and tail of the snake are not enough to deal with the enemy, the snake body can also support.

After hearing this, the generals all called it wonderful and said: "Yidu will set up an ambush near Wenshang or Ningyang, this is almost certain." However, as soon as the general responded in this way, the passivity of our army became the initiative. If the plan goes well, it will not be the enemy who lures our army out of the city, but our army who lures the enemy out of the city. ......, I wonder how many strange soldiers the general plans to send to Ningyang? ”

"Less is useless, more is bloated. A thousand people are enough. ”

He Zongzhe did not move, and as soon as he moved, he sent out half of the army in the city. He added: "The army that went to Wenshang should fight less, shrink the formation, and only say to the outside world that a thousand people have been sent." The army that went to Ningyang had to fight more and lengthen the formation, and claimed to have sent 2,000 people to the outside world. ”

The two thousand men sent to Wen Shang pretended to be a thousand; The 1,000 people sent to Ningyang pretended to be 2,000. The Art of War: Fiction and Reality. This is the art of reversing the right and the strange. If the Yidu side believes this information, then it is very likely that the ambush troops that were originally arranged in Wenshang will be transferred to Ningyang. After all, there is a fundamental difference between encircling and annihilating 2,000 and 1,000.

Another general praised and said: "If this plan is sold, then the enemy's movement will depend on the general's thoughts!" It is not the enemy who moves our army, but our army who moves the enemy. "He Zongzhe is well versed in the art of war, and fighting a war is actually an initiative. Although Yanzhou has fallen behind, he is still trying his best, hoping to reverse the passive situation he faces through these few small strategies.

It's like playing chess, where the city is the chessboard and the army is the pawn. Before the war, He Zongzhe had already fought with Zhao Guo, Pan Xian and others.

……

Yidu, Yanwangfu.

In the past few days, Deng She went to bed late and got up early, although he did not go to Tai'an, but he knew everything about the war on the front line. After all, Tai'an is not too far away from Yidu, and urgent military reports can even arrive in the morning and evening. Yang Wanhu feinted to attack Ningyang and failed to transfer the Yuan army from Yanzhou, so Zhao Guo changed his strategy and changed to fight Wenshang, Deng She also knew, and after discussing with Hong Jixun, he fully agreed with this strategy.

The difference in the height at which each person stands will inevitably lead to a different vision of war. If Zhao Guo and He Zongzhe are currently focusing on Yanzhou and Wenshang, then Deng She is more observing the changes in the situation in Jining and Linfen in Jin, Hebei, and other places.

Li Shousheng reported truthfully and said: "The Chahan army on Jining and Dongping Zhulu has not reacted until now because they were caught off guard. In particular, in Dongping Road, Gaotang Prefecture and other places, because the Jinan and Tai'an departments of our army were ordered by the lord to make a feint posture, so they were well contained the enemy in these places. The only thing to worry about is the Chahan military horses in Henan.

"Henan is in the southwest of Jining, and the two places are adjacent. If Jining suffers a major blow, Henan will definitely not sit idly by. It's just that if there is no military order from Chahan, it is not easy for the Henan army to act without authorization. That is to say, at least in a short period of time, before Chahan reacted and sent down orders, even if the Henan army had the intention to help, it would definitely not be able to go east. Jining Road will still be in a state of helplessness. ”

"According to your calculations, when will Chahan's military order be passed down to Henan?"

"From Linfen to Henan, it will take three or four days at the earliest. After the military order arrived, the Yuan army in Henan still needed a certain amount of time to prepare. It can't be that when the military order arrives, they will be able to set off. In this way, if the Yuan army in Henan wants to rush to the aid of Jining, the smoothest situation must be about ten days! ”

Deng She dared to suddenly send an army to attack Jining, and it was such a time difference. If Zhao Guo, Qing Qianxing and others can capture the entire Jining road within ten days, then Yidu will be invincible first.

"Is there any possibility that the Yuan army of Jinji will rush to the aid of Jining Road?"

"Judging from the current intelligence, there is no possibility that the Yuan army of Jinji Zhulu will rush to the aid of Jining. Chahan and Polo have already started a war in Jining, and Richard Han has the upper hand again, after all, Polo is not a weak hand, if he wants to defeat Polo neatly, 30,000 people are definitely not enough. And the military horses he is now putting on the Jinji Zhulu Road are only thirty or forty thousand people. In other words, the Yuan army of the Jin-Hebei Zhulu was only enough for the battle between Chahan and Polo, and not enough to divide troops to support Jining. If Li Chahan wanted to use the military horses of Jin and Hebei to support Jining, unless one situation arose, that is, he would make a truce with Polo's army.

However, according to the intelligence of Linfen, Jining and other places, the relationship between Chahan and Polo has gradually developed from a small-scale contact to a large-scale battle. Chahan mobilized three armies in succession, either as far as Jining, or on the way to Jining. Analyzing his handwriting, it is clear that he wants to gather and annihilate the 5,000 men and horses of Polo in a battle.

"At this critical moment, let him make a truce with Polo? It should be impossible. Moreover, Chahan is arrogant, and has never looked down on our army. Yichen's speculation is that even if he receives the news that our army is attacking Jining, he will definitely not give up Polo because of this. The greatest possibility is that he should continue to fight Polo and strive to defeat Polo as soon as possible, and then use Jin Ji's military horses to support Jining. ”

Chahan's army in Jinji will not rush to the aid of Jining, and the only one who can serve as Jining's reinforcement is the Henan army. And before Chahan's dispatch order was handed down, the Henan army was also difficult to dispatch.

Deng She said with a smile: "In today's battle, if it can be as you analyzed, our army will successfully capture Jining." Shousheng, you can guess, who is the biggest hero for our army? Li Shousheng was slightly stunned, knowing that Deng She was definitely not talking about him, his mind turned, guessed the answer, and said with a smile: "Polo Timur." ”

"Exactly! Without the provocation of Polo Timur, attack Jining. Then, the army that Li Chahan arranged in Jinji will not be contained. If his army in Jinji had not been contained, it would have been impossible for our army to enter and leave Jining so easily. By the way, is there any news for the 5,000 men and horses that Polo went out of the city to the west? ”

Li Shousheng frowned and said, "There is still no news." It's like the whole thing is missing. ”

Deng She paced to the front of the map, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "I really underestimated Polo in the past!" With 5,000 people, it is not easy for him to hide to such an extent, and even disappear. Haha, if my expectations are correct, the current Chahan must be on pins and needles. ”

The 5,000 enemy troops are nowhere to be seen, and the dragon is still light when he sees the head and the tail. On a whim, Deng She turned his head and asked Hong Jixun, saying, "Sir, in your opinion, where are the 5,000 people in Polo?" ”

Hong Jixun has also repeatedly considered this, and now Polo is like an ally of Yidu, and every move of an ally must be paid attention to. It's just that although Hong Jixun has thought about it again and again, he has not yet been able to determine, he said in a deep voice: "If you think about it, there are still only those two possibilities."

"Or, Polo Ming went out of the west of the city, but in fact, he made a detour to the south, and his intention was still in Jining, so the secret agents of the General Administration Department couldn't detect the slightest rumor in the west. Or maybe the 5,000 men of Polo really went out of the city. But if he goes west, there is only one way to go, and that is to go west into Shaanxi. Shaanxi also has a heavy garrison of Chahan, and Shaanxi Guanshan is solid, and it is not easy to enter. Could Polo have such great courage? While waging war with Chahan in Jining, and at the same time going deep into Shaanxi to open up another battlefield? ”

Hong Jixun shook his head again and again, and after a while, he said: "If the military horses he went west were not 5,000, but 10,000, maybe there was this possibility." There are only 5,000 people, even if they successfully infiltrate Shaanxi, it will be in vain. It's hard to make a climate! What does Polo really think? Now that the information is insufficient, it is really difficult for the ministers to speculate. ”

"Go deep into Shaanxi to open up another battlefield?"

Deng She's mind moved, approached the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Sir's speculation is not feasible!" He instructed Li Shousheng and said, "If Mr. is correct, the 5,000 people who went to Polo West have indeed entered Shaanxi, and there is only one route for his march in the most likely. That is, after going west, then go north, pass through Yunnei, Dongsheng, Fengzhou and other places, and then detour south and enter Shaanxi. ......, you immediately ordered the fine works to be planted in Datong, and ordered them to change the direction of their investigation, and then go to Fengzhou and other places to check to see if there are any traces of the Polo army passing by. ”

Li Shousheng respectfully accepted the order.

The more Deng She pondered, the more he felt that Hong Jixun's guess was reasonable.

He was surprised and delighted, and said, "Polo, Polo, is it really so bold?" If this is true, then the 5,000 people he attacked Jining are obviously just a decoration! The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in Shaanxi! Yes, 5,000 men may be too few to attack Shaanxi. However, I don't know if you have thought about it? The soldiers have plans to increase and decrease the stoves, perhaps, more than 5,000 people went out of the west of the city? It's just that on the surface it is said that there are 5,000 people, but in fact, what about 10,000? And even more? The military horses he sent to Jining, according to the informant, have been unenterprising for many days, digging ditches and building fortifications day and night, as if he was the defending side and Richard Han was the attacking side. This is very suspicious! I couldn't figure it out. However, if this speculation is used to explain it, my doubts will be easily solved. ”

Deng She nodded heavily in the direction of Jining and said, "Before, Polo had used troops with Chahan to Jining many times, but they all failed. This time, he may not have any intention of Jining at all! What he wants is really Shaanxi! The 5,000 people in Jining are just suspicious soldiers all the way. Therefore, he did not want to make progress, so he built fortifications day and night. What is it that you do? When the war in Shaanxi started, the 5,000 people he put in Jining were the front line guarding Datong! ......, what does the sir think? ”

Hong Jixun's casual remark led to Deng She's bold inference and analysis. Hong Jixun shook the folding fan, pondered for a long time, and said: "The Lord is reasonable. used 5,000 people to attract Chahan's attention to Jining, and many times, he and Chahan competed for Jining, which also created an illusion for Chahan, thinking that he still wanted to seize Jining this time. Fake a shot, and take Shaanxi. This is a plan for 'repairing the plank road in the open and crossing the Chen Cang in secret'. If the lord's reasoning is correct, it will be of great benefit to our army. ”

Of course, it is of great benefit to Yidu.

Polo went to fight for Jining again and again, which has already made Chahan chicken dogs uneasy. If Polo goes further and plots against Shaanxi, it is foreseeable that his battle with Chahan will only become more and more intense. Shaanxi and Jinji are the foundations of Chahan. Jin Ji produces grain, and Shaanxi produces good horses, which is the foundation of the king. At that time, not to mention that Yidu will attack Jining, even if Yidu intends to Henan, Chahan may not have the kung fu to deal with it.

"We must find out about this matter as soon as possible!"
