β€”β€”

Early the next morning when Li Ye crossed the Qinglong River at night, Yidu rode dozens of horses out of the city. A flag was played at the front, which read: "Marshal Dizhou Wing Palace"; Behind the flag, the cavalry gathered around a young general.

This man was not very old, in his early twenties, with a silver helmet and a white robe, and sat upright on a horse, and his body was as straight as a pine. The armor he wears is half-bodyed, revealing his left arm.

It may have been just wounded, or it was a long time ago that has not healed, and there is a bandage on his left arm. - That's probably why he wears half-body armor. Although the knights were surrounded by the stars and the moon, looking at their complexions, they did not have a young and proud face, on the contrary, they had a calm and solemn color.

A knight who followed him rode his horse and said, "General, your injuries are not yet healed, so there is no need to hurry too much on the road." The prince made a special explanation, saying that as long as he could arrive before tomorrow night. ”

The young general did not speak, but just looked into the distance. At the beginning of autumn, the green of the trees has not yet faded, and the mountains are green in the distance, and the river is flowing. In the early morning sun, it is lovely and pleasant.

Another knight said: "The prince's decree was sent out a few days ago, and it is expected that Chen Shuai is already ready to meet the general. The general is very familiar with the inner and outer reality of Dizhou, and after arriving, with Chen Shuai on the outside and the army and the people on the inside, he will be able to succeed like a fish in water. The general didn't have to worry too much. ”

The young general withdrew his gaze from the distance, turned his head to look at the person who spoke, sighed softly, and said, "I'm not worried about Dizhou. ……。 ”

He turned around on the horse, arched his hand towards Yidu City, which was gradually moving away, and continued: "I have not made an inch, but I have been promoted to a high position by the lord. Now I entrust Dizhou to me, and whenever I think of it, I can't help but feel heavy. That's too much responsibility! All I'm worried about is that I'm afraid of disappointing Jun'en. ”

"Why should the general be too humble! Thinking about the battle of Dizhou that day, the general was bloody and killed, and it was useless to kill the enemy; The spirit of loyalty and filial piety soars into the sky. I heard that so far, the Tartars in Gaotang Prefecture and other places still tremble whenever they hear the name of the general, even the brave are in awe. - How can this be said to be 'not an inch of merit'? ......, besides, since the prince chose the general to sit in Dizhou, it means that he is still very confident about the general's ability. The prince is wise and martial, and he will never look at the wrong person! ......, therefore, the general just has to put his mind at ease, as long as he does it well, he will be able to make great contributions to my Haidong. ”

This time, the person who spoke was not the two knights in front of him, but an old man in his fifties. He was the oldest of the horsemen, and the only one who did not wear armor.

The young general nodded and said, "Uncle don't worry. Since the lord ordered me to go to Dizhou, no matter what, I will definitely do my best to repay the king's kindness. ”

Hearing this, the old man was very relieved and said: "Although the old man died of loyalty and great sorrow, but now at home, the general is also the only pillar of support. This is when I go to Dizhou, I should think like this! is the only way to not lose the master's people and the face of the Ji family. ”

The young general said solemnly: "Yes." ”

- This young general is none other than Ji Chong. In the battle of Dizhou that day, his father Ji Zongzhou died with the city, and he was also seriously wounded. In recognition of their family's loyalty and filial piety, Deng Shepin promoted him to an official position and rewarded him with many goods. He recuperated from his injuries in Yidu for many days, and only now can he be considered to be able to recover.

Hong Jixun's strategy of "leading the snake out of the hole" requires the cooperation of Dizhou. Ji Chong was originally in the Dizhou army, and he had experienced the battle of Dizhou, so he was very familiar with Dizhou; Therefore, Deng She issued a military order a few days ago, ordering him to go to Dizhou again, and gave him the title: "Marshal of the Marshal Mansion of Dizhou Wing".

The Dizhou army, most of which were Tian Feng's old troops, also had some Yuan army soldiers, and a total of 3,500 strong men were selected from more than 6,000 people; Originally, Wang Daer was its main general. Not long ago, Deng She transferred Wang Da'er to the Pinglu army to be reappointed as the deputy commander of the capital, and at the same time appointed Ji Chong as the new Marshal of the Dizhou Wing.

β€”β€”Wang Daer, Tian Feng's old department. When attacking Tianfeng, he surrendered against the water. At present, the main force of Haidong is Haidong Wuya, Shandong Sanya, etc., Pinglu Army is one of the three Yaya, Shandong, and the main general is Deng Chengzhi.

Wang Da'er had already gone to the Pinglu Army, and the Dizhou Army was now temporarily under the control of Chen Yutou, so the knights who followed Ji Chong would say: "It is expected that Chen Shuai is already ready to meet the general." ”

As for the old man, although Ji Chong called him "Uncle", he was actually just an old servant in his family, who had been studying with Ji Zongzhou since he was seven or eight years old, and had been in the Ji family for decades. Ji Chong was watched by him and grew up. And during the days when Ji Chong was recuperating from his injuries, this old man took care of the housework, ushered in the send-off, and was loyal, temporarily supporting the faΓ§ade of the Ji family; It is not an exaggeration for Ji Chong to call him "Uncle".

β€”β€”From this small detail, it can actually be seen that although Ji Chong is outwardly fang, he actually attaches great importance to love and righteousness, knows gratitude, and is not unkind.

He looked up at the mountains and rivers in the distance again, and said, "Although the lord told him to arrive before tomorrow night, it may be early, but after all, it is better to arrive early!" The sun is getting higher, so let's get more ahead while it's still cool! "Whip the horse, ride the dust, and gallop away.

The horsemen hurriedly urged their horses and caught up with each of them.

……

But it was said that Chengwu, Monk Li returned from defeat, and Zhao Guo pretended to march and wanted to behead him. Because of the generals' plea, they "reluctantly" let it go. Through this move, the "return to home" in the army was swept away, the morale of the three armed forces was reunited, and the fighting spirit of the three armed forces was inspired.

The morale of the army is up, what to do next?

Dunshe's order was clear, telling him to hold off Chahan at all costs. There are also meticulous works of the Yan army in the city of Caozhou, and based on the information obtained from all sides, it is almost certain that Chakhan Timur is almost short of food. Most likely, he will withdraw at any time. Once he withdraws, with Chahan's military methods, do you want to "stop" him again, or "drag" him? It's even harder, it's almost impossible!

This is where a contradiction comes in.

How can Richard Timur stay in Caozhou with peace of mind? Take the initiative to send them food? Of course not! If you don't send food, he will withdraw at any time. Then simply storm Caozhou? has lost two games in a row to Chakhan Timur, Zhao Guo is self-aware, knowing that with his own ability, "guarding" is more than enough; "Attacking" is probably like a meat bun beating a dog, nine times out of ten, it will only hurt the soldiers in vain.

Ju Sheng came up with an idea that didn't have an idea: besiege the city.

The Art of War: "Ten are to encircle, five are to attack, and multiple is to fight." You have ten times as many troops to encircle him; With five times as many troops, you can attack him; If you only have twice the number of troops, you will fight against him.

Of course, "soldiers are like water". In combat, it is not necessary to stick to this article. Just like Li Weixin said, if you can have an advantage in "potential" or "intelligence", then even if your troops are inferior to the enemy, you can boldly attack and even take the initiative to surround him.

But Chakhan Timur was not a weak hand, first of all, compared with him: "wisdom" does not have the upper hand, not only does not have the upper hand, but may be at a disadvantage; Secondly, the "potential" does not have the upper hand, although the Yan army won a big victory in Jining, but Li Chahan is famous, and now he has come to the aid of Caozhou and sat in the army, who dares to despise him? At best, it's evenly matched.

Once the siege is besieged, the forces will be dispersed, and it is very likely that they will be broken by Richardan individually.

At the end of "Ten will be encircled, five will be attacked, and twice will be fought," there is also a sentence that says, "The enemy will be divided," which means that if the enemy is evenly matched, the enemy should be divided as much as possible. Okay, go to besiege the city and divide the troops, isn't this taking the initiative to give Chakhan Timur a chance to divide and attack?

In fact, in the final analysis, the root cause of Zhao Guo's various concerns is that because of the prestige of Chakhan Timur, he threw a mouse bogey, lest he be deceived and lose. It can be said that there is "self-knowledge", but on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of "lack of self-confidence".

……

Grain, not delivered; Circumference, circumference. How else can Chahan be held back?

……

After thinking hard for two or three days, Zhao got a plan. He didn't come up with this plan out of thin air, but when he was reading the history books, he happened to see a battle example, so he was inspired by it, and he suddenly thought of it.

Deng She reads history books, and under his influence, Zhao Guo often keeps his hands on the volume, even in battle, as long as he has time, he will often turn a few pages to read.

At this time, he was reading "History of the Song Dynasty", and because he was worried that there was nothing he could do, he read "The Biography of Yue Fei" at night. His original intention was just to admire the Han people's "anti-Hu famous generals", and he hated himself as well. But it was from "The Biography of Yue Fei" that he was inspired.

"The Biography of Yue Fei" records a story of "Yue Fei's defeat of the thief".

Yue Fei was ordered to suppress Yang Qi, "Controlling Ren Shi'an does not give the king's order, and the army is useless." Yue Fei military law, whipped Ren Shi'an, ordered his bait thief, and said: "The thief is uneven for three days, behead you." Ren Shi'an let out a rumor and threatened: "Captain Yue's soldiers are 200,000. However, through reconnaissance, the rebels on the opposite side found that there was actually only Ren Shi'an's troops, thinking that he was "lying" and just "bluffing", so they "attacked it and attacked it". "Fly and set up an ambush, Shi'an is in a hurry, and the thieves are attacked, and the thieves go."

This is a successful example of "bait the enemy".

threatened "200,000", but what he actually saw was only "one army". No matter who it is, they will think that this is Ren Shi'an bluffing. Since it's a bluff, can you not "attack it and attack it"? Using "declarations", "threats", "big words", and "bluffs" as a strategy to bait the enemy, Ren Shi'an can be regarded as a resourceful person.

What inspired Zhao Guo was Ren Shi'an's "bait the enemy" strategy.

After he matured his calculations, he invited Ju Sheng and said directly: "I, I plan to lure the enemy with deceitful words. ”

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Ju Sheng was a little confused and inexplicable.

Zhao Guo handed him the history book in his hand and said, "Yes, it is Ren Shi'an's strategy to bait the enemy." ”

"History of the Song Dynasty" was written in the fifth year of Zhizheng and began to be engraved and published in the sixth year of Zhizheng.

Ju Sheng had read it a long time ago, and because Deng She was mainly based on An Feng, and An Feng claimed to be a descendant of the former Song Dynasty, so since he became an official in Haidong, he has read this book many times, and he can almost memorize it backwards. Therefore, as soon as he heard Zhao Guo say "Ren Shi'an's strategy to bait the enemy", he didn't need to look at it anymore, and immediately understood what he was talking about. But what does being familiar with historical facts have to do with ,......, present?

"Humble and stupid. What do you mean? ”

Zhao Guo did not answer him directly, but asked: "False, suppose you are Chahan, and suddenly I heard a threat, saying that the lord wants to bring 200,000 soldiers in person, and intends to fight you to the death." What will happen to you? ”

"If I were Chahan,......。 First of all, it must be necessary to send someone to investigate to see if it is true or false. ”

"Yes. Now, now you've investigated and found out that it's fake. What will happen to you, you? ”

"I have investigated and found that it is fake,......。 That's the general bluffing. ”

"No, that's good. I'm bluffing. What will happen to you, you? ”

Ju Sheng thought for a while and said, "For no reason, the general is bluffing. In my opinion, there is only one explanation, that is, the adults want to retreat, so they use 'big words' to scare me, so that I don't dare to act rashly, so that the adults can easily withdraw. ”

Zhao Guo nodded and asked, "Then, what will happen to you?" ”

"I will send scouts and cavalry to investigate everywhere, and find out all the dates and routes of the withdrawal of the army. At the same time, he pretended not to see through the adult's strategy, stuck to Caozhou, and pretended to be actively defending the city. And when the adults really retreat, I will send the elite to attack from behind. ”

"You, will you take the initiative to withdraw from Caozhou and withdraw to Jinji at this time, after knowing that I am bluffing?"

"Of course not! How can such a good fighter be let go lightly? Ju Sheng suddenly realized, clapped his hands and praised, and said, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink!" ......, it turns out that the purpose of the adults is here! It is not that he wants to withdraw or attack, but he wants to continue to drag Chahan in Caozhou. ”

"Only, I just don't know if Chahan will be fooled."

"Such a clever plan, let alone Chahan, is to change the rebirth of Prince Yue, I'm afraid I will be fooled!"

Zhao Guo did not show a happy look, but was a little worried, and said: "Cha and Cha Han are familiar with the art of war and are resourceful, even if they can deceive him, I am afraid that they will not be able to deceive him for long." Only, just to be able to drag him for one more day, it's one day! ”

"......, but there's a problem."

"W-What's the problem?"

"The Chahan army is running out of food. Will he risk running out of food and wait for the adults to 'withdraw his troops' in Caozhou? ”

"Tan and Tan Ma Jun reported that Chahan sent envoys to Gaotang and other states the day before yesterday, as well as to the states west of Caozhou. To think and think is to ask for food. Although it won't come too much, but、But save a little use.,It should still be okay to support a few more days.。 If he really wants to go without food, no one can do anything. Today's plan is also, and only the strategy of baiting the enemy, makes him feel tempted, and he can, can and can drag on one more day. ”
