Chapter Twenty-Seven: Survival in Death

Li Kun was taken aback, the commander of the army, the deputy marshal, and the supervising army were all present, no soldier dared to be so unruly, the key was to see that the generals and adults still took it for granted, which made him a little blindsided for a while.

"Exactly or not?"

Xu Rui gritted his teeth and glared, looking like he was going to eat people.

Li Kun felt a chill in his heart, and nodded hurriedly.

Xu Rui was shocked, took out a newly drawn map and spread it on the table, and then used a flattened branch as a ruler and began to draw on it.

None of the people present knew what his intentions were for this strange behavior, but they had long been accustomed to his strange behavior, so he carried it out.

Liu Yi glanced at the pro-soldiers beside him, and the three pro-soldiers immediately carried Li Kun out, and suddenly only Liu Yi, Yang Weiyuan, Cao Gonggong and Xu Rui were left in the ancestral hall.

As soon as the outsiders left, Gonggong Cao jumped up from the chair and ran to Xu Rui's side and asked, "Boy, now that the sailor is finished, according to what you said, the Black Flag Army will catch up with us soon, what should we do now?" ”

Xu Rui stared at the map, his brows furrowed, as if he didn't hear, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Father-in-law Cao was in a hurry and was about to slap the table, but Liu Yi grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"Gonggong Cao, manpower is sometimes poor, and he is not an immortal, it is commendable to be able to lead the army to this point, but now that the sailor has been defeated, his strategy is completely stranded, what is the use of you forcing him to death?"

Father-in-law Cao's face was pale, and he said angrily: "I forced him? Okay, I don't force him, so what do you think we should do now? ”

"How's that good?"

Liu Yi snorted coldly: "Of course it's fucking, fight with those Southern Dynasty barbarians!" ”

Gonggong Cao glared at Liu Yi, his lips trembled slightly, and he held back a sentence for a long time.

"You ruffian has courage and no strategy, and you can't say anything!"

Liu Yi sneered: "The matter has come to this point, it has nothing to do with brave planning, only a battle to the death, otherwise what else does my father-in-law have to say?" As long as you can tell it, no matter how good it is, Ben will do it! ”

Gonggong Cao ignored Liu Yi's ridicule, ran to Yang Weiyuan and asked, "Marquis Jingwu, you are the commander of the army, you say!" What should we do? ”

Yang Weiyuan raised his eyelids, looked at Gonggong Cao, then at Liu Yi, and finally pouted at Xu Rui.

The two were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Xu Rui, only to see him with his chin puffed, staring at the map, as if he was pondering.

"Is there anything else he can do?"

Gonggong Cao was overjoyed in his heart, and for some reason, when he saw Xu Rui's appearance, his anxious mood immediately calmed down a lot.

"I see!"

Xu Rui suddenly exclaimed, and the three of them were all startled, and looked at him in unison.

"What do you know?!"

Gonggong Cao couldn't wait to ask.

Xu Rui said: "I know what the problem is, the previous guess is not wrong, the sailors of the Southern Dynasty have not yet arrived at the Jingyang water network, so King Wuling will use the three thousand remnants of the Marquis of Changping as bait to introduce the sailors into Xingcheng Port, and then surprise attack with infantry." ”

It turned out that it was not a way to break the game......

The three of them were immediately disappointed.

Liu Yi said: "No matter what, the sailor is still defeated after all, my Northern Wuwei Heavenly Destiny is like this, what's the use of figuring out these now?" ”

"Of course it works!"

Xu Rui said cheerfully: "If my previous inference is correct, then the main force of the Southern Dynasty should still be encircling and suppressing the Duke of Qi now, why would they not eat the fat meat in their mouths and suddenly appear in Xingcheng Port to attack the sailors?" ”

When he said this, Liu Yi and Yang Weiyuan were also puzzled, and couldn't help but bow their heads and ponder.

Father-in-law Cao didn't have such good patience, and said hurriedly: "Boy, this is all burning your ass, are you still selling Guanzi?" Let's talk about the reason! ”

Xu Rui smiled: "Because of us! ”

"We?!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, but they heard Xu Rui explain: "It's us, according to the distance calculation, the time of the main force of the Southern Dynasty just coincides with the time of our retreat from Yishui City."

In other words, King Wuling quickly learned about our retreat from Yishui from a certain channel, and immediately saw through our army's strategy of returning north through the Lianchenggang Naval Division, and then mobilized the army that was originally used to encircle Qi Guogong to break the naval division first, the purpose is to keep our army in Jingyang! ”

"Hiss......"

Liu Yi and Yang Weiyuan gasped at the same time, the fact that King Wuling was able to withdraw Yishui from Beiwuwei was a miracle in itself, and what was even more rare was that he could make temporary adjustments and successfully keep Beiwuwei.

You must know that the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops is interlocked, and even if the plan that has been arranged is only a small step to disrupt, it may cause chaos in the overall situation, otherwise Beiwuwei failed to arrive in Yishui on time, and Yang Weiyuan would not be so anxious.

Could it be that King Wuling really reached the point where he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops like a finger?

"How does this matter relate to our army's next strategy?"

Yang Weiyuan asked in a deep voice.

Xu Rui said: "The connection is very large, and no matter what you do in this world, there is a price.

King Wuling originally played a perfect game of chess, even if he escaped our chess piece, it would only be a few less results, and it would not have any impact on the overall situation.

But he was not greedy enough, forcibly left our army behind, and did not hesitate to temporarily adjust the plan for this reason, so he buried a trace of noise in perfection, and this is the price!

With this noise, our army no longer has to survive in the cracks, but can directly find out the flaws and completely break this perfect chess game! ”

Yang Weiyuan waved his hand: "Don't fight with us, just talk about the point." ”

"The point is that we have finally recovered the strategic initiative lost under Yishui City!"

"What?"

The three of them were shocked in unison, and they all felt incredible when they looked at each other.

Xu Rui pointed to the map and said, "Three adults, please see, it is indeed a strange move for King Wuling to draw the main force from the army of the Duke of Qi to go south to defeat the water division.

But the strange trick is indispensable, and the clues will be seen after a long time, so King Wuling will definitely not dare to delay after breaking through Liancheng Port, and will return north immediately, so as not to let the Duke of Qi see through his hands and feet and take the opportunity to break through.

And any major battle is a complete game of chess, and his army is running back and forth like this, and he will definitely mobilize other armies to make corresponding adjustments, so as not to make the whole battle situation chaotic, which provides an opportunity for our army to find flaws! ”

"Where's the opportunity?"

Yang Weiyuan's eyes froze, and he asked loudly.

Xu Rui's fingers slipped from Yishui to the green mountains, and the thief smiled: "The opportunity is here!" If I were the King of Wuling, I would definitely leave a strategic reserve in the northeast of Jingyang in case someone broke through in the direction of Northern Qi.

In order to dispatch a relatively close main force to the south to break the water division, there is a good chance that the king of Wuling will order this strategic reserve force to move closer to the direction of Qi Guogong in case of contingencies.

In this way, the mouth of Northern Qi will be completely opened, and our army can return to Great Wei by passing through Northern Qi as long as it bypasses Liuqingshan! ”

"Really?!"

As soon as he heard that Xu Rui really had a way, Gonggong Cao jumped up from his chair excitedly.

However, Liu Yi and Yang Weiyuan were not as optimistic as him, Liu Yi stared at the map for a while and shook his head.

"You do have some truth in what you said, but now that the main force of King Wuling has returned north, won't the reserve or garrison go back?"

Xu Rui said: "At this time, at that time, King Wuling went south to defeat the water division and slowed down the whole plan, so he must be planning to use this reserve to make up for the lost time and eat the main force of Qi Guogong as soon as possible, otherwise once the war drags on for too long, the Holy Lord will react and send reinforcements to participate in the battle, and the outcome will be difficult to say."

And now we are deep in the Southern Dynasty, far away from the Northern Qi, even King Wuling may not be able to connect us with this flaw, so as long as we act like some, there is a chance that we can pass all the way, as long as this road is halfway through, even if he reacts, it will be too late! ”

"Good, good, good!"

After listening to Xu Rui's generous statement, Liu Yi looked at the map and said four "good" words in a row, then nodded, glanced at Xu Rui deeply, and laughed.

The depressing atmosphere has dissipated most of the time, and now only Yang Weiyuan is still frowning.

"It's all an afterthought, now our army is trapped on the west bank of the overflow, there are enemies on all sides, and the decisive battle is just around the corner, our army has almost no chance of winning, this dilemma cannot be broken, everything is in vain."

"It's not simple, if you want to break the game, of course you have to cross the river, as long as you cross the river, won't you leave all the pursuers behind?"

Xu Rui said as a matter of course.

Yang Weiyuan suddenly had a black line in his head.

"Do you know that on the other side of the river is the army of Shantinghou, according to what you said, they should also be surrounded by the main force of the Southern Dynasties, don't we cross the river and throw ourselves into the net?"

Xu Rui said disapprerovingly: "You can't believe that our army will cross the river, how can the Southern Dynasty think about it?" What's more, since King Wuling did not hesitate to transfer the main forces besieging the Duke of Qi in order to keep our army, it means that their troops are not very abundant, and the main force of the Southern Dynasty on the other side wants to besiege the army of Shantinghou, how can they have the strength to manage us? ”

"Okay, even if the Southern Dynasty army doesn't have to worry, but the nearest ferry is still more than thirty miles away from here, and it will take half a day to hurry up, and even if you arrive, you still have to fight a fierce battle, this time is enough for the Black Flag Army to catch up with us several times, how do you say our army will cross the river?"

Xu Ruiqi said: "Who said we were going to the ferry?" This town is born by the river, isn't there a lot of fishing boats, why should the marshal go far and near? ”

Yang Weiyuan breathed a sigh: "There are more than 100 fishing boats in this town, but you expect these fishing boats that can only take two or three people to cross the 50,000 army, do you want the Black Flag Army to wait for you for three days dozens of miles away?" ”

"Oh, it turns out that the handsome is worried about this, don't worry about the three adults, the mountain people, they have their own clever plans!"

The corners of Xu Rui's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled with a thief's eyebrows.

When the three of them saw his lewd smile, their hearts suddenly settled, and a thought coincidentally popped up in their minds: This kid is afraid that he will be bad again......

Yang Weiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, the last question, my army has been running around for days, and the military rations have bottomed out, according to what you said, the day of returning to China is still far away, how to solve this matter?" ”

Facing Yang Weiyuan's scorching gaze, Xu Rui smiled slightly, and only said one word: "Rob!" ”

"What?!"

The expressions of the three of them froze on their faces.

Seeing that they didn't seem to understand, Xu Rui explained again: "The art of war, those who make good use of soldiers, no longer serve in the army, and the food is not three years; It is used for the country, because the food is for the enemy, so the military food can be sufficient. ”

(For those who are good at using soldiers, soldiers will not be recruited again, grain and grass will not be transported many times, weapons and equipment are transported domestically, and food and materials will be replenished in the enemy country, so that the army's supply of grain and grass materials can be sufficient.) )

Yang Weiyuan has always been Zhou Zheng in the use of soldiers, paying attention to steady and steady fighting, step by step, he has never seen such a risky tactic, let alone heard of such a bizarre military book, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that it is very reasonable, as if a window in his heart suddenly opened, and he was surprised to see the scenery he had never seen.

"Boy, where did you get all these messy military books? Why is it that Ben Shuai is familiar with the art of war, but has never heard of what you have to say? ”

Yang Weiyuan stared at Xu Rui and asked suspiciously.

Xu Rui sweated in his heart, the art of war he said was the famous "Art of War", Yang Weiyuan naturally couldn't have read it, but how to explain this to him?

You can't say you're from another world, right? Even if he told the truth, he would regard it as perfunctory, but it was not enough to believe it.

"There are so many military books in the world, what's so strange that you haven't read it? Besides, this kid has always liked to talk about it, and you take it seriously when you say nonsense, and you will really be laughed out of your teeth when you say it! ”

When he was worried, Liu Yi suddenly arrived.

Yang Weiyuan was stunned, remembering that Xu Rui was indeed often full of nonsense and saying some nonsense (modern vocabulary that they couldn't understand), at first glance it sounded very reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt inexplicable (he didn't understand modern knowledge), and he immediately thought it was true.

Xu Rui glanced at Liu Yi gratefully, and understood that he must have said something to help him keep the "secret of Guiguzi".

Unexpectedly, Liu Yi snorted from his nostrils, his chin was cocked high, and he looked high, and he didn't bother to look at him.

This old guy, acting is not this way of acting, do you know it?

Xu Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, but Gonggong Cao on the side looked at the two of them, chin swaying, thoughtful.

At the end of the combat meeting, the thoughts were finally unified again, but the result still depended on the implementation of the plan, Xu Rui slowly folded the map, looked at the dark clouds that gradually drifted outside the window, and muttered to himself in his heart.

"The Dunkirk retreat can't work, then there will be a 25,000-mile long march, King Wuling, how will you take it this time?"
