Chapter 76 Chapter 4 The Present Strategy of a Strong Enemy
After listening to Fan Bohou's words, Liu Tingfeng didn't react for a while, and only after a while did he wake up and say:
"Huh? Is the person with the talent of a military advisor that Senior Fan said is Senior Murong? ”
Fan Bohou pretended to be angry and said:
"What? Does Tingfeng think that my junior sister doesn't have such talent? ”
Liu Tingfeng hurriedly said:
"No, no, I just felt too surprised, that's why I was so surprised, it's not that I doubt the wisdom of Senior Murong."
"Although I just met, the intelligence displayed by Senior Murong in his words is indeed a talent for military advisors, but I always thought that Senior Fan would introduce me to a student of the Royal Academy, and I was afraid that I would not have enough qualifications and asked me to be hired, so I didn't think about it."
"I really didn't expect that there would be a person like Senior Murong in Linghai City who had a sense of the overall situation, and Heavenly King Ruoshui would definitely be very relieved to know it."
Fan Bohou said with a smile:
"My sister has always been my most effective military advisor, and over the years, she has been standing silently behind me and giving me advice, so that my work has been going so smoothly."
Murong Bingfan shook his head and said:
"I can only be regarded as a theorist on paper, compared with the real military advisor, it is still far behind, and I can't afford to be a military advisor!"
Liu Tingfeng said solemnly:
"Senior Murong is too humble, when everyone thinks that the remnants of the hostile forces in Linghai City should be cleared, the senior keenly discovered the value and stopped the removal of Senior Fan, this is very remarkable, on the battlefield, the most important thing for the military advisor is to see the situation clearly, distinguish the truth from the false, what is needed is a strong theoretical foundation, this is enough!"
"This is not on paper, this is real wisdom, my senior sister will have a specific and detailed plan before each action, she often says, do things to learn to plan first and then move, when things happen, so as not to mess up, can calmly deal with all changes."
"Before, I was thinking that I wanted the military advisor mentioned by Senior Fan to join my army! Now it seems that Senior Fan will definitely not let go of Senior Fan to leave the City Lord's Mansion and go to the battlefield to experience those unknown risks, I can only return disappointed. ”
"However, with Senior Murong and Senior Fan cooperating to govern Linghai City, I am even more relieved, now this is my base camp, with two seniors guarding it, I have less worries every time I go on an expedition, for me, this is also a very gratifying thing!"
Murong Bingfan said with a smile:
"In this way, Tingfeng also thinks that those hostile remnants that are deeply hidden are more valuable to keep than to clear them!"
Liu Tingfeng nodded and replied:
"Yes, it is indeed more valuable to keep than to remove, but these people are like a double-edged sword, if used properly, they can hurt the enemy, and if they are not used well, they can also hurt themselves."
"My sister often says that risks and opportunities often exist at the same time, and in many cases, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity, and if it is used well, the return is also the greatest."
Murong Bingfan asked curiously:
"A lot of things in Tingfeng now are all learned from the Heavenly King, right? So what's next for you? ”
Liu Tingfeng pondered for a moment before he said slowly:
"Judging from the situation in Linghai City and its surroundings, the first thing we have to do is to get rid of Gao Xiujie as soon as possible, and then find a way to drive those ill-intentioned people in Longxiao Kingdom and Beiyue Kingdom out of our territory in Xiyu Country, and do our best to protect Linghai City and all the surrounding cities."
Murong Bingfan said with a solemn face:
"It's easy to say, but it's also extremely difficult to do!"
"If my expectations are correct, their large army must have been stationed on the border of our Xiyu Country, ready to attack us at any time, and the disparity between our strength and theirs should be huge."
Liu Tingfeng nodded and said:
"Yes, we have received news that the Longxiao Kingdom has sent 12 million troops to be stationed on the border, ready to attack at any time."
"And the Beiyue Kingdom is not far behind, it has also mobilized 10 million troops to approach from the other direction, and our total strength in Linghai City is only five million now, and it is not advantageous to fight on a single line, let alone a two-line battle."
"Our only advantage is that this is our territory, and countless people are our most powerful reserve force, with a steady stream of soldiers that can continue to replenish at any time."
"The armies of the two countries are marching thousands of miles to come, even if they are alone, the people will fight less and less, and the supply of grain and grass will also be greatly affected.
Murong Bingfan muttered:
"We are five million, and the total number of enemy troops is twenty-two million, which is more than four times that of us, and the contrast of strength is too great!"
Liu Tingfeng replied indifferently:
"Although the combined army of the enemy is twenty-two million, they are no longer an alliance, and if the war between the two countries continues to expand, then the situation will be more favorable to us."
"The best option for us is to be able to break down individually and avoid them from attacking together."
Murong Bingfan frowned slightly and said:
"It is impossible for their war to continue to expand, Liang Hongcai had to fight before, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he went back, but the emperors of the two countries know in their hearts that it will not be beneficial for them to continue to expand the war at this time."
"Before, it happened suddenly, and both sides did not calm down, which caused a greater tragedy, but now they must have come to their senses and understand that it was a plan."
"Knowing that it is a scheme, how can they still kill each other?"
"It's just that the alliance is indeed impossible, after all, the dead are all royal families on both sides, and such a grudge is irresolvable, so it is very likely that they will choose to go their own ways and compete for the resources of the West Rain Country without interfering with each other."
"In this way, Tingfeng will have to deal with it separately, if the five million army fights separately again, won't the situation be equally grim?"
Liu Tingfeng replied with a relaxed expression:
"If it is a frontal battle, we really do not have any advantage in such a comparison of forces, therefore, I will definitely not fight them head-on, I will choose to fight guerrilla warfare with them on the border line, stop them in dense mountains and forests, make full use of our familiarity with the terrain, and slowly eat away at them."
"I plan to go to deploy as soon as possible, mobilize the people on the border line, and develop them into our people, and the cooperation of the military and the people will definitely be able to stop them."
Murong Bingfan asked suspiciously:
"Guerrilla warfare? What kind of play is this? ”
It's the first time she's heard such a statement, and although she can understand it literally, she doesn't know what kind of play it is.
In her opinion, the confrontation between the two armies is not all soldier against soldier, general against general, and after a tragic battle, whoever is strong will win the war.
Liu Tingfeng immediately told Murong Bingfan in detail about the way to fight guerrilla warfare, and explained the advantages and agility of this tactic.
After hearing this, Murong Bingfan couldn't help but admire:
"This is indeed the most ingenious way to win more with less, and to defeat the strong with the weak!"
"Although this style of play seems to be a bit unruly, the battlefield is not a place where rules are spoken, and the final victory is the most important thing."
"The soldiers are not tired of deceit, the king's unbridled imagination, whoever is her opponent is destined to pay a heavy price!"
After Liu Tingfeng took a sip of wine, he replied with respect:
"My senior sister once said that it is important to understand the art of war, but the impermanence of water and the impermanence of war, and the best art of war is to guide according to the situation."
"On the battlefield, everything should be determined by the situation on the battlefield, and as long as the enemy can be killed, it is acceptable to use more means on the premise of not violating humanitarianism."
"This kind of soldier-to-soldier and general-to-general arrangement is only suitable for use when the enemy is evenly matched or when the enemy is weak and we are strong, and when the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is more suitable for mobile and flexible guerrilla warfare."
Murong Bingfan also nodded in agreement:
"That's true, the strong enemy invades, the enemy is strong and I am weak, if you use the conventional way of playing, then you will definitely lose, for the ultimate victory, or choose this smart way to face the battle is the best choice."
The three of them were eating and chatting, and they had eaten a meal for nearly two hours before they knew it.
In fact, at the dining table, it was mainly Liu Tingfeng and Murong Bingfan talking, Fan Bohou rarely interjected, only occasionally raised his glass to invite Liu Tingfeng to drink.
He hardly studied the tactics of war, because he never thought that he would go to the battlefield, and when he had time in peacetime, he mainly studied poetry and articles.
And Murong Bingfan reads a lot of books in her spare time, she reads all kinds of books, and she understands a wide range of things, probably because she has learned too much and too much, her knowledge is extensive, but not deep enough, so she belongs to the type of broad but not refined.
After dinner, it was getting late, and Liu Tingfeng said goodbye and left.
Outside the gate of the small courtyard, Fan Bohou, who was slightly drunk, stood with Murong Bingfan, his eyes looking in the direction of Liu Tingfeng's departure.
It wasn't until Liu Tingfeng's carriage completely disappeared from their sight that Fan Bohou spoke:
"What does Senior Sister think of Tingfeng's strategy?"
Murong Bingfan replied faintly:
"In terms of the current situation in Xiyu Kingdom, this way of dealing with it is the best choice, Liu Tingfeng has been by the side of the Heavenly King for many years, and he has indeed won the true inheritance of the Heavenly King, and over time, he will inevitably grow into a more powerful figure."
After Fan Bohou pondered for a moment, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"General Liu values his junior sister's talent and wisdom so much, if he invites his junior sister to join the ranks, will the junior sister agree?"
