Chapter 219: Xu Rui's confidence

Time seemed to stand still, and the south study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

Xiao Jinwu secretly glanced at the emperor, then turned his gaze and looked at Liu Yi, only to see Liu Yi gritting his back molars, his face flushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or worried.

After a long time, Emperor Hongwei suddenly snorted coldly, and this cold snort was like a code, instantly relieving everyone's petrified state.

Wang Yi's face was so angry that he stared at Xu Rui, his teeth clenched, but he didn't rush to speak.

Anyone who has carefully designed a plan will be furious if he is splashed with such a basin of cold water, he is already a person who is extremely deep in the city, if it were replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have jumped up a long time ago, even if he didn't beat Xu Rui fat, he would argue angrily.

"Oh? So, do you have a different opinion? ”

Emperor Hongwei asked with a sneer, the defeat of Jingyang has always been regarded as a shame by Emperor Hongwei, and now Xu Rui mentioned it casually, and said it so carelessly, he was naturally very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Xu Rui, it's you who ask for your own hardship, don't blame me for not saving face for you!"

Hearing the emperor's questioning, Wang Yi sneered in his heart, he thought that there was no flaw in this strategy, and he was waiting for Xu Rui to make a fool of himself.

Xu Rui seemed to be ignorant of everyone's reactions, shrugged his shoulders innocently, stood up and walked to the map, pointed to the map and said slowly.

"Lord Fang Cai said that King Wuling had seven chances to destroy Northern Qi, but in the end he gave up, there seems to be no problem with this on the surface, but I want to ask Lord Wang, has King Wuling ever been so tricky in these seven expeditions?"

"This ......"

Wang Yi breathed and shook his head.

"That's it!"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "If he really wants to set up a suspicious formation, shouldn't he storm the hinterland of Northern Qi and force our army to rescue quickly, so as to achieve the goal of diverting the tiger from the mountain, why should he deliberately kill to the border of our army, so that we have a sense of vigilance?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals showed suspicious looks, and Emperor Hongwei lost his angry expression, and thought about it seriously, but Wang Yi's face was pale, he gritted his teeth and stared at Xu Rui, without saying a word.

Xu Rui didn't give him a chance to breathe, and continued to ask: "Also, according to Lord Wang's strategy, in order to convince King Wuling that our army has been tricked by him to divert the tiger from the mountain, it will take at least 100,000 suspicious soldiers to go deep into the Northern Qi Dynasty.

If King Wuling wanted to stabilize the rear, or simply wanted to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty, he chose to eat these 100,000 people first, and the main force in the ambush in Liuqing Mountain would not be saved?

If you save it, not only will the ambush plan go bankrupt, but also the time and place will be lost, and it is very likely that the whole army will be annihilated, and if you don't save it, you will lose 100,000 troops in vain. ”

"yes......"

The generals came to their senses and nodded their heads one after another, Emperor Hongwei also showed a solemn expression, and Wang Yi's face gradually turned from iron blue to pale.

Xu Rui sneered and continued: "Even if he retreats 10,000 steps, everything is really as Lord Wang expected, King Wuling is stupid enough to let go of the lone army that went deep into the Northern Qi Dynasty, but if he bypasses Liuqing Mountain and raids the main ambush force of our army in the mountains from behind."

Didn't the dangerous places originally prepared for King Wuling become the graveyard of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our army? At that time, it will be the King of Wuling who will close the door and beat the dog, and the one who will not return is my Great Wei soldier.

And when he solves the main force of our army, there is no elite in the entire Great Wei that can match it, who is sure that he can turn the tide on the opposite side of King Wuling's iron cavalry under the opening of the country? ”

In the end, Xu Rui was already very powerful, and it was no wonder that he was over, because similar examples abounded.

Whether it was World War II, the German army bypassed the Maginot Line, wiped out hundreds of thousands of French main forces from behind, and took only one month to take the first army power in Europe.

Or in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army landed ahead of schedule, went around the back of Port Arthur, and attacked the Beiyang Naval Division on both sides, resulting in the destruction of the First Fortress in the Far East and the First Fleet in the Far East at the same time.

These examples are enough to predict the course of the war.

"Of course I've thought about these situations!"

Wang Yi couldn't sit still any longer, like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, he jumped up and said: "Right now, the 500,000 troops of the Southern Dynasty are all in Northern Qi, how can they go around to Liuqing Mountain Pass, which is hundreds of miles away, to outflank and detour?"

He has this time, and our army has already adjusted its deployment, so how can it be stupid to wait for him to come and surround him?

Lord Xu also thinks that my soldiers of Great Wei are too stupid! ”

Facing the menacing Wang Yi, Xu Rui sneered expressionlessly and said: "Well said, my Great Wei soldiers are naturally not stupid, but Lord Wang, don't forget, during the Battle of Jingyang two years ago, wasn't King Wuling and his army also in Northern Qi?" ”

"Boom!"

Wang Yi's pupils shrank, like five thunderbolts.

The defeat of Jingyang is vivid, and half of the current commanders of the twelve guards of the Beijing Division came from the Northern Wuwei of that year, and naturally experienced the great war, at that time, the king of Wuling could secretly Chen Cang, and now there is no reason why not.

As long as Xu Rui mentions the beginning, they can deeply understand, no matter how Wang Yi explains, it looks very pale.

With a "snap", Wang Yi sat down in despair, he had always thought that his military talent was very outstanding, even if it was not a few levels higher than Xu Rui, at least it was not much better.

He never thought that he would be defeated in front of the emperor today, and he was so defeated that his body was incomplete.

In fact, he is good enough, but his opponent is King Wuling, a super genius that Xu Rui finds difficult to deal with.

When studying King Wuling's tactics, Xu Rui even thought that even if King Wuling was placed in another world, he would be enough to command a super-large-scale interstellar war.

Emperor Hongwei's face darkened completely: "You have already seen the stakes, but if I don't ask you, are you not going to say these words?" Do you want to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to watch a monkey show with the national fortune of my Great Wei? ”

"Your Majesty......"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinwu and Liu Yi were immediately shocked and wanted to open their mouths to defend Xu Rui, but Emperor Hongwei didn't look at them and stared at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui's expression did not change in the slightest, and he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister, Wang Yi has misled the country, but the means are not clever, Your Majesty is familiar with military strategy, and the holy candle shines, so he must have already seen it."

Even if His Majesty was blinded by his rhetoric for a while and couldn't see the clue for the time being, as long as he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would understand, why should he talk too much? ”

Xu Rui's sycophant shot couldn't be more straightforward, but at this time, Emperor Hongwei just needs a step, and his sycophant can be said to be just right, and the score is exactly right.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongwei snorted coldly, and acquiesced to Xu Rui's statement, no longer pestering his intentions, but asked: "Since this is the case, then how do you say our army should act?" ”

Xu Rui was stunned: "Why act?" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Xiao Jinwu hurriedly said: "Xu Rui, right now, the Southern Dynasty is attacking Qi in a big way, if our army sits idly by, the Northern Qi will be in danger of destroying the country." ”

Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders in surprise: "Then let him destroy the country, what does it have to do with my Great Wei?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately gasped, not only a few generals, but even Liu Yi's face turned pale.

"Xu Rui, what kind of bastard are you talking about? The current situation is already very serious, if we sit back and watch the Southern Dynasty destroy the Northern Qi, and the southeast of the Great Wei is surrounded on both sides, wouldn't it be even more dangerous? ”

Liu Yi scolded angrily and said what everyone thought.

But don't look at Xu Rui pretending to be crazy and stupid, but everyone understands that he must have made up his mind, and they all look at him hopefully.

Xu Rui sighed and said, "Your Majesty, my lords, it's not that you're watching the Northern Qi Dynasty be destroyed, but that our army has no rescue strength at all!" ”

"What?"

Seeing that everyone was shocked again, Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "Over the years, our army has been defeated in successive battles, and it has already suffered a great loss of vitality, if it weren't for the wisdom of the saint, my Great Wei national strength would be more than twice as strong as the Southern Dynasty, but I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty would have already invaded on a large scale."

At present, the 12 guards of the Beijing division have just been rebuilt, but they are far from mature, if they go deep into the Northern Qi to fight against the elite of the Southern Dynasties, dare to ask the generals how sure are they?

Moreover, the current situation is extremely strange, not to mention why King Wuling wants to go around in a big circle on the border of Northern Qi, just because the three Wuling pro-armies did not fight, it shows that the army of the Southern Dynasties still has spare strength and wants to do something else.

Before figuring out their true purpose, any action may fall into the trap of King Wuling, so since you can't see clearly, it's better to be quiet than to move, let's guard the country, and respond to all changes with the same, as long as the main force still exists, King Wuling has to throw a rat trap and dare not fight a war of attrition with Great Wei.

As for Northern Qi, it was a country with many mountains and dense forests and poor mountains, which was very suitable for hard fighting and guerrilla warfare, and even King Wuling was not so easy to gnaw this hard bone.

What's more, even if the Northern Qi Dynasty is not destroyed, it will not be of much help to our country, on the contrary, if the Northern Qi is destroyed, because of the existence of Liuqing Mountain, it will only be a few hundred miles more bordering the Southern Dynasty, and it is really impossible to take such a big risk for him. ”

When it comes to the use of troops by an enemy country against a third country, people often have a kind of habitual thinking, thinking that the truth of the cold lips and teeth is applicable everywhere.

As everyone knows, in Xu Rui's view, the Northern Qi Dynasty is not only a tasteless chicken rib, but also because of its mountainous terrain and fierce folk customs, once the Southern Dynasty destroys the Northern Qi, it will inevitably fall into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare like the invasion of Afghanistan by the United States and the Soviet Union in another world.

Xu Rui wished that King Wuling's head would be dizzy, and he immediately destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and fell into the vast sea of the people's war.

However, Xu Rui's theory was too subversive, only Xiao Jinwu and Emperor Hongwei immediately understood the deep meaning, and the other generals seemed to be a little confused, and they didn't turn a corner for a while.

Emperor Hongwei was not in the mood to break it, and asked directly: "If it is really as you say, how can our army have a quiet method?" You can't do nothing, can you? In case King Wuling is really fighting my Great Wei's idea, wouldn't he be tied up? ”

Finally got to the point.

Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Of course you can't do nothing, the most important thing at the moment is to protect the main force and not fall into the trap of King Wuling."

The Holy Lord can send a general to the front line in person to integrate the border army on the southern front, although the border army is low, but if it can be properly commanded, it can buy enough time for the main force.

If King Wuling really wants to attack Great Wei, as long as he determines the direction of his attack, it will be regarded as forcing out his rear hand, and even if the border army is broken at that time, my main army will have time to fight step by step, calmly respond to the battle, and will never be eaten by him.

Our national strength is much stronger than that of the Southern Dynasties, they will definitely not be able to fight a protracted war with our country, if it drags on for a few months, even if the last battle is not fought, King Wuling will have no choice but to retreat! ”

"Although the strategy is good, but in this way, isn't our army one step slower everywhere, if the border army is defeated too quickly, and when the army of the Southern Dynasties penetrates deep into the border, will there be time to calmly transfer troops?"

Xiao Jinwu expressed his worries, and everyone looked at Xu Rui again.

Xu Rui seemed to know that he would ask this question, and said confidently: "Don't worry, we just need to defend the city, at least I have confidence in this battle, and it is absolutely impossible for King Wuling to take any advantage in the siege battle." ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui suddenly winked at Emperor Hongwei.

Emperor Hongwei was slightly stunned, and then was shocked: "You finally made that thing?" ”

Xu Rui nodded.

At this moment, the torrential rain that had been falling for half a month suddenly stopped, and a bright sunshine shone through the thick dark clouds.

"Good!"

Emperor Hongwei suddenly laughed and said, "It just so happens that all the ministers are here today, so you will follow me to see the majesty of my northern country!" ”
