While Zhang Jiashi was thinking about the problems of intelligence organization, Zhang Wu led the knight troops after a short reorganization to pursue the remnants of the hundreds of Chu knights under Xiang Yu's command. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the pursuit of the past few days, the two sides did not engage in large-scale fighting, but because the remnants of the Chu army, whether it were officers and soldiers or the mounts under their crotch, they were already exhausted.
After a few days of pursuit, more and more lone Chu knights were either unable to continue to flee with Xiang Yu and were killed by the Qin knights, or they found an opportunity to leave because they were unwilling to continue to follow Xiang Yu, who had no future to speak of.
Whether Xiang Yu knew such a situation and didn't do anything to stop it, this was not a big deal for the pursuing Qin army knights, but on the contrary, for this situation, as long as Xiang Yu didn't flee alone, then they wouldn't pay too much attention to it.
At most, it is to send a few knights to leave the team to pursue these fleeing Chu knights.
And Zhang Jiashi has not focused on the results of chasing Xiang Yu in the past few days, he also knows one thing in his heart, if Xiang Yu is so easy to solve, then he is not Xiang Yu.
And the thing that Zhang Jiashi is most concerned about is whether the tips he gave to Yu Ziqi and others have played a role.
Contrary to the situation that Liu Bang was still jealous of the fact that there seemed to still be a fairly strong remnant of the Chu army's southward return troops, before Zhang Jiashi gave Yu Zi period's tips, what he was thinking about was not worrying about how much trouble these remnants of the Chu army could bring him, but more because he didn't want to further weaken the population base of the Great Qin Empire.
These remnants of the Chu army may not necessarily obey the rule of the Great Qin Empire, and Zhang Jiashi is still a little prepared for this. After all, many of these officers in the remnants of the Chu army are more loyal to Xiang Yu or even the Xiang family, just like Xiang Zhuang.
In terms of the information that Zhang Jiashi received later, Xiang Yu's wife Jing was still in this army.
Zhang Jiashi was speechless about this situation, because he hadn't thought of one thing, that is, if Xiang Yu still carried the Jing clan to raid him at such a time, it would be a strange thing.
Xiang Yu's personality is certainly very problematic, but it doesn't mean that Xiang Yu is a thorough second goods. On the contrary, since Xiang Yu can think of this tactic of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, it is enough to show that Xiang Yu is still very rational now.
But this did not prevent Zhang Jiashi from giving an order to Yu Ziqi and others.
"If the situation allows, for example, if the remnants of the Chu army are besieged by you, then this bag may be able to solve the remnants of the Chu army. ”
Although Zhang Jiashi's words were not too full, he was very clear about one fact in his heart, that is, if the strategy in this bag had no effect, it would be a strange thing in a certain sense.
And when he knew that there was Han Xin among the generals of the Qin army who besieged the last main force under Xiang Yu's command, he couldn't help but smile, because he knew very well that this strategy itself was Han Xin's strategy that was enough to determine the situation in the battle between Chu and Han.
And what exactly is this strategy?
If Zhang Jiashi knew that someone had this problem, then he would have said eight words: "Embattled, ambushed on all sides." ”
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, many people described the two strategies of "embattled and ambushed on all sides" as "ambushed on all sides, embattled on all sides". This statement is wrong for the priority of the strategy.
Because in many ways, if the embattled army had not weakened the overall combat effectiveness of the Western Chu army and greatly reduced the Chu army's will to fight, I am afraid that the ensuing "ambush on all sides" would not necessarily have the result of forcing Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang.
Embattled, in Zhang Jiashi's original world, has gradually evolved into an idiom allusion, which at that time meant to fall into the embarrassment of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and reaching the embarrassing situation of being isolated and helpless.
And this allusion comes from the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu Benji": "Xiang Wang's army was under the wall, the soldiers were small and the soldiers were exhausted, and the Han army and the princes were surrounded by several heavy soldiers. At night, when he heard that the Han army was singing on all sides, King Xiang was shocked and said: "The Han army has already won Chuhu? ’”
That is to say, the word itself is like the word Li Dai Taozhuang, which comes from a famous strategy rather than a simple apocryphal word.
The gist of this allusion is:
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to use the east and west sides of the chasm as the boundary and not to invade each other. Later, Liu Bang listened to the advice of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and felt that Xiang Yu should be eliminated while he was weak, so he joined forces with Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Liu Jia to pursue Xiang Yu's troops that were heading east to Pengcheng. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu. At this time, there were very few soldiers under Xiang Yu, and there was no food. At night, when he heard the troops surrounding him singing the folk songs of Chudi, he couldn't help but be very surprised and said: "Has Liu Bang already obtained Chudi? Why are there so many Chu people in his army?"
In many ways, this allusion is more of a psychological tactic of Han Shin.
If you analyze the classic words that happened around Han Xin, such as embattled and lasting, you will directly come to a conclusion, that is, Han Xin is a famous general who is quite proficient in psychological warfare.
In fact, the famous generals in history have their own experiences in psychological warfare, such as Xiang Yu's ruined boat, Qi Huangong's hanging sheep drumming, and the hungry horse bell that Bi met again in the Southern Song Dynasty, etc., all of which can be regarded as successful examples of the use of psychological warfare.
"Hanging Sheep Drumming" describes Gongzi Xiaobai preparing to return to Linzi to take the throne under the escort of Bao Shuya, and Lu Zhuanggong, the monarch of Lu State, under the leadership of Guan Zhong, escorted Gongzi Jiu to return to China and take the throne. The two armies met at the Zihe River. Due to the disparity in strength at that time, Gongzi Xiaobai was besieged by Gongzi on Cen Mountain, Gongzi saw the high forest of Ezhuang Mountain, and his heart was happy, thinking that Xiaobai could not escape with wings, as long as he was trapped in this mountain, there was no need to fight, and he could catch turtles in the urn, which was a good opportunity given by God. Xiaobai was besieged in the mountains, people were sleepy and horses were scarce, and food and grass were cut off. At the moment of crisis, a soldier came to report that there was a small road to the southeast of the mountain that could go to Linzi through Qingzhou. Xiaobai was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered his soldiers to catch more than ten goats, tie them to their hind legs, hang them on a tree, and put a war drum under their front hooves. He also ordered the soldiers to dig out a trench on the mountain, put the hungry war horse in the trench, and led the troops down the mountain quietly, and returned to Linzi along the mountain road through Qingzhou to ascend the throne and sit in the palace, known as Qi Huan Gong.
But there is a problem with this allusion, that is, in terms of Guan Zhong's ability, it is unlikely that he will not see the problem of this strategy, and perhaps Guan Zhong at that time was not the person who led the Lu soldiers to besiege it.
And Bi Zaiyu's "hungry horse bell" bullied the Jin soldiers, and Bi Zaiyu in the Song Dynasty fought against the Jin soldiers, because the Jin soldiers were strong and the Song battalion soldiers were few, so he made a clever plan of "golden cicada shelling", and withdrew all the troops in one night, leaving only the flag on the position, and hanging the bell on the hooves of the hungry horses to make a sound. When the Jin soldiers heard the neighing of horses and bells day and night, they did not suspect it, and they did not dare to attack. After waiting for a few days, Jin realized that he had won the plan. But at this time, Bi Zaiyu's team had disappeared without a trace.
There is also a problem with this allusion, that is, at that time, the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty generally lacked war horses, and Bi Zaiyu's strategy was unlikely to have too many war horses, and the effect of a small number of war horses was actually very insignificant.
......
Of course, in contrast to Han Xin's embattled strategy, Zhang Jiashi's embattled strategy actually has a big difference.
That is, because of the different feelings of the Chu officers and soldiers, Zhang Jiashi did not want these precious young men to go to hell, he did not hesitate to let Zhang Liang, who was in Pengcheng, post a notice to recruit the Chu people near Pengcheng whose family members had joined the Chu army, and then came to the periphery of the besieged Chu army camp.
The main reason for him to do this is to maximize the effect of the embattled strategy.
The record of the embattled song in the history books is mainly by the Chu personnel in the Han army singing the Chu song, and then conducting psychological warfare against the remnants of the Chu army.
I have to say that although such a method is relatively simple, and Xiang Yu thinks that Chu Di fell into the hands of Liu Bang, it is not a wrong understanding.
But this method obviously won't have much effect on the remnants of the Chu army commanded by Xiang Zhuang, who seems to be much stronger.
Before Zhang Jiashi made this strategy, it was mainly because most of the Chu land at that time did fall into his rule, so in many ways, this approach can also be very realistic, and there is no need to confuse the real like Liu Bang and others.
Moreover, even if the embattled has no practical effect, Zhang Jiashi will have a second plan, that is, to let these Chu people move with affection and reason for the besieged Chu army.
Zhang Jiashi didn't say such a follow-up strategy so clearly in the bag, but with the wisdom of Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others, he didn't need to say it so bluntly.
If Zhang Liang and the others couldn't pay attention to the meaning of what he did, then it would be a real strange thing.
......
Speaking of Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiashi also has a lot of changes about Zhang Liang, a former terrorist, and after the other party really surrendered to his command, Zhang Jiashi attached great importance to Zhang Liang.
In Zhang Jiashi's original world, Zhang Liang's evaluation is very high:
Liu Bang: In the planning of the husband's plan, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary.
Chen Ping: Wisdom enough to resolve doubts, enough to cover the famine, enough to break the royal insult, virtue and foot to assist the people of the world, the emperor from the fund, the hundred bureaucrats Yunruo, the Yan Han Dynasty and the people; The first crown of the Fathers also.
The evaluation of these two people, for Zhang Liang, is the best description of his wisdom.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi decided to trust Zhang Liang and entrusted Zhang Liang with important responsibilities.
First, some time ago, Zhang Liang was sent by Zhang Jiashi to persuade Wei Bao. To be honest, this task is also Zhang Liang's last test for him.
Zhang Jiashi didn't care too much about Wei Bao's life or death, because once he subsequently settled the two countries of Qi and Chu, even if Wei Bao was stubborn, he would be able to easily eliminate the other party. However, Zhang Jiashi finally decided to let Zhang Liang persuade Wei Bao to surrender, mainly in the hope that Zhang Liang could really serve him.
And I have to say that Zhang Liang did not disappoint Zhang Jiashi in this regard, as for Zhang Jiashi's temptation Zhang Liang knew or not, Zhang Jiashi thought that this matter was not the point, the point was that Zhang Liang had his real trust.
Subsequently, Zhang Liang completed several tasks given to him by Zhang Jiashi, especially in persuading Xiang Tang to donate Pengcheng, Zhang Liang did something that Zhang Jiashi was a little uncertain about the success or failure, which made Zhang Jiashi very convinced.
Of course, this situation has to be said to be a manifestation of Zhang Jiashi's good use of people.
After getting Pengcheng, Zhang Jiashi ordered Zhang Liang to sit in Pengcheng and give advice on the strategy of Chu Di.
To be honest, things have come to this point, and Zhang Liang's sense of existence is like this. But for Zhang Jiashi, it is impossible for him to let go or abandon this famous minister of the ages like this.
After the Chu army broke away from the Jimo battle area and moved south, Zhang Jiashi received a wire report and ordered Zhang Liang to become the military advisor corresponding to this situation.
This time, Zhang Jiashi had no way to participate in the final battle because of the distance, but it didn't mean that Zhang Jiashi thought that Xiang Yu would be able to turn the tables. Because in front of Xiang Yu, there are not only nearly 200,000 elite soldiers and strong generals of the Great Qin Empire, but even Zhang Liang, Han Xin and other talents who are enough to make him sink in many ways.
To tell the truth, Zhang Jiashi had already sentenced Xiang Yu and the remnants of the Chu army to death for this package in his heart, but for Zhang Jiashi, he didn't expect Xiang Yu to attack him at this time, which made him very helpless, and more of a silence to Zhang Liang and others.
The reason why Zhang Jiashi is silent in this regard. It does not mean that he complains about his subordinate martial arts, but on the contrary, because Zhang Jiashi knows that such a situation has nothing to do with Zhang Liang and others, and once again showing his attitude in this regard too much is a problem.
Zhang Jiashi does not have the hobby of angering others for no reason, and Xiang Yu is also a big defeat in this battle, Zhang Jiashi is also happy to pass this idea aside.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
What Zhang Jiashi didn't know was that after Zhang Liang received Zhang Jiashi's order, he also had some knowledge in his heart.
Zhang Jiashi would not let him do such a thing for no reason, or he did not think that Zhang Jiashi would do something for no reason.
He smiled after thinking about it for a while, because he knew one thing very well, that is, Zhang Jiashi did this, and it was very likely that he intended to surrender without a fight.
Regarding Zhang Jiashi's open-mindedness, Zhang Liang had to say: "Contemptible people are indeed not as good as the king." ”
