Chapter 10 Designing Chains

According to historical data, the Jin army defeated Yang An'er and Li Quan this year, and launched an attack on Liu Erzu in March next year.

If you just look at the time, you lose your real meaning. Through thinking, find the law, or the weakness of the Jin Army, that can be regarded as a higher level.

Based on this analysis, Meng Jiucheng came to the judgment that it was very difficult for the Jin army to attack continuously, and the main reason was that there was insufficient money and food.

The Mongolian army plundered, the Red Jacket Army swarmed up and gave food to the people, and the Jin Army robbed again, and the people were displaced, how could there be so much surplus food?

With such a judgment, Meng Jiucheng was not very worried about being attacked by the Jin army this year. Therefore, the consequences of the blow to Wanyan Bode are not so serious.

And in order to strike at Yan Bode, it is one thing to create the illusion of surrender. how to use a stratagem, or induce them to divide their troops, and defeat them one by one; Or induce it to fight in unfavorable terrain conditions, which is what Meng Jiucheng needs to seriously consider.

Meng Jiu came to hope that the defeated army under Yang An'er's army might be able to attract the attention of Yan Bode as long as a slightly larger force reached Mizhou, and sent troops to encircle and suppress it. But this method is too passive, you can only wait, and you may not be able to wait.

Of course, Meng Jiucheng really sent someone to contact him, but there was no news, and he didn't know when he could be recruited.

Since waiting is not a solution, it is as unreliable as expecting pie to fall from the sky, Meng Jiucheng thought about it, and he could only create opportunities by himself.

If there is no remnant of the Red Jacket Army coming, then organize one yourself. To put it bluntly, it was to disguise himself as a red jacket army, harass the Mizhou countryside, and induced Wanyan Bird to send troops to attack.

Wanyan Bird occupied the state city of Mizhou (now Zhucheng), but the vast countryside had not yet had time to be controlled. Before completely relieving his worries about the Red Turban Army, he did not divide his troops easily, which is of course a safe way. But because of this, Meng Jiucheng felt that the plan was implemented and he had a great chance of success.

"Tie Rong Mountain-" Meng Jiucheng pointed heavily on the map with his finger, "It is more than fifty miles east of Mizhou (state city), less than forty miles away from the northern defense line of our army. I plan to use two battalions of troops, disguised as the remnants of the Red Jacket Army, to break into this mountainous area and attract Yan Bode to attack. And thenβ€”" Meng Jiucheng gave a sly evil smile.

As soon as Wang Zhongfeng saw Meng Jiucheng like that, he knew that his bad water was coming out. However, this is a good move, which not only invades Michigan, but does not affect the current fake negotiations. For the remnants of the Red Jacket Army, Wanyan Bode must have the heart to underestimate the enemy, and sent hundreds of horsemen to kill them, but they may have fallen into the trap and were all wiped out.

Then, Wanyan Bode's strength was damaged, and the initiative in the battle was lost, and it was more convenient for the Red Turban Army to turn its face and attack, or continue to use the fake Red Jacket Army of Tie Yong Mountain to capture the county and occupy the town in Mizhou.

"Two battalions of troops, it's not stealthy enough to act, right?" Although Wang Zhongfeng was in favor of the battle plan, he still made suggestions on the details: "Wouldn't it be better if we first sent people to find out clearly, and then divided the troops into multiple units and infiltrated them with more than 500 people?" ”

The tone of discussion is a respect for Meng Jiucheng. And Meng Jiucheng, whether in public or in private, was respectful and polite to several masters. He did not think that this would undermine authority, because his understanding of authority was different from that of the people of his time.

Squad, multiple shares! Meng Jiucheng thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense. There have been cases of infiltration in history, and this is how it was carried out. If it is a larger unit, then it is not called infiltration, but interspersed.

"Well, Master's advice is more thoughtful than mine." Meng Jiucheng's advantage is that he can listen to persuasion and accept different opinions, because he puts himself in the right position and does not pretend to be a famous general.

Since Meng Jiucheng did not regard himself as a famous general, and he did not see which of his subordinates had such potential, he naturally took measures. One of them is to emulate the staff system of later generations and gradually form a substantial staff committee.

As the saying goes: three stinkers are on top of Zhuge Liang. The strategy and tactics that come out of brainstorming may not be the best, but it is also unlikely to be the worst.

From the incident to the present, Meng Jiucheng's biggest feature is the word "stability". Do not fight uncertain battles, do not attack cities and plunder land without greed, and do not frantically expand the army...... Now that he has to fight Wanyan Bode, Meng Jiucheng still hopes to win steadily.

Therefore, he wants to induce Wanyan Bode to divide his troops, and then eat the enemy bite by bite. Only when he has a good chance of winning will he fight the enemy in a decisive battle.

"Wanyan Bode can return the money, it can be seen that he is a resourceful person, how to let him rest assured that he can divide the troops, it is also necessary to think carefully." Zheng Ruxin had been drinking tea, and at this time he interjected and said, "Jiucheng, you must have a plan, say it and listen to it?" ”

As a woman and Meng Jiucheng's elder, Zheng Ruxin can naturally be casual, but she doesn't have to worry about Meng Jiucheng's dissatisfaction like others.

Meng Jiucheng smiled and pointed to the map, "Move the defense line facing Mizhou back and abandon a few fortresses, I think, this may be a sign of attitude, right?" ”

Abandon the fortress, can Wanyan Bird send troops to take over the defense? His cavalry troops were mainly used to exterminate the rebels in various places, but not to defend the city. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng's move was just to let the soldiers move places, and there was not much loss. Anyway, the fortress is just empty, and Meng Jiucheng can send troops to occupy it again at any time.

But this is an attitude, and the fake negotiations are still going on, and this kind of concession will undoubtedly make Fang Chennan and Wanyan Bode misjudge.

"Didn't Yan Bode return the money, this time I will give him double." Meng Jiucheng smiled sneeringly, and continued: "Also, when collecting Fang Guosan's rout, those who disobeyed the rules and took the lead in making trouble, didn't they let us clean up, and I will send some heads to Wan Yan Bode." ”

Zheng Ruxin smiled and said, "Abandon the fortress, send gold and silver, and then give heads." I think that with these three things, it is difficult for Yan Bird not to be fooled. ”

"The Seventh Master thinks it's enough, and I'm going to give him a reassuring pill." Meng Jiucheng sat down in the chair, took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Fang Chennan want to spy and reconnoitre, okay, I'll allow him to walk casually in our territory." ”

"The land of two states, when he spies and reconnoiters clearly, Yan Bode is almost finished, right?" Zheng Ruxin immediately understood, it sounded good, walk casually, it was in the base area, if you want to go out, dream!

"Wanyan Bird wants to stabilize us and delay time, so we will make him feel that he has achieved his goal." Wang Zhongfeng saw Zheng Ruxin smiling heartily, and he was also happy in his heart.

Meng Jiucheng's train of thought was completely smooth, looking at Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Ruxin, he felt that these two people were just as close to a layer of window paper as they hadn't pierced.

If they were sent to lead the army into Tie Yuan Mountain this time, maybe it would be a matter of course, right?

Alas, the ancients were really not open. is so old, and he has to be matched by his junior. Meng Jiucheng thought so and secretly made a decision.
