A month ago, generals dissatisfied with the government's disarmament policy gathered here, and under the auspices of the Grand Duke of the North, Yuwen Lingfeng, decided to hold an armed rebellion. Then the generals used their appeal to issue orders to the dismissed subordinates, so retired soldiers from all over the country gathered here, and in less than half a month, it had reached 800,000 troops.
A week ago, Yuwen Lingfeng brazenly launched a rebellion, and in just three hours, he wiped out 20,000 garrisons loyal to the government and took control of Bac Ninh City.
Now, Yuwen Lingfeng was sitting in the center of the hall, looking at his advisers and generals, and slowly spoke: "Now we have control of Beining City, and we have 800,000 troops! And the government army has only retained a total of 80,000 standing troops, and we have eliminated 20,000, and among the remaining 60,000 people, Nanning and Xining and Dongning are each stationed 10,000, and the capital is a 30,000 Praetorian Guard army that is unscrupulous for hundreds of miles, and none of them have the ability to attack us! Therefore, now we are not a question of whether we can destroy them, but a question of who to destroy first!" You say, should we destroy the other three towns first, or should we eliminate Baili Wuji first?"
Strategist Chi Baolin took the lead in speaking: "If we attack him first, we will definitely meet with stubborn resistance! Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers. It also won the battle, the blunt army was frustrated for a long time, the siege was forced, and the long-term violent division was insufficient for the country. If the husband is blunt and the soldiers are frustrated, and the princes take advantage of their disadvantages, although there are wise men, they cannot be good at it. Therefore, the soldiers heard it quickly, and they did not see the coincidence for a long time. Those who have been serving for a long time and the country are not there. Therefore, those who do not fully understand the harm of using troops cannot fully understand the benefits of using soldiers. ”
The general and the general knew each other and scolded: "Stinky scholar! Don't chew words here!"
Wei Chi Baolin smiled: "I'm sorry everyone! I forgot that everyone is illiterate! How can I say that? In a language that your wisdom can understand, this means that if you use troops to fight, you need to use 1,000 light chariots, 1,000 heavy chariots, and 100,000 troops, and you have to cross the border thousands of miles to transport military rations, then the funds for the front and rear, the expenses for entertaining envoys and travelers, the cost of combat equipment, and the maintenance expenses of vehicles and armor will cost a huge amount of 100,000 yuan every day, and then 100,000 troops can be dispatched. If the time dragged on for too long, military operations will be blocked, the army's spirit will be bruised, the siege of a city will deplete the troops, and the army's long-term fighting abroad will cause financial difficulties for the state. If military operations are blocked, the morale of the army is frustrated, the military strength is exhausted, and the country's economy is depleted, then some princes and nations will take the opportunity to rebel, and even the most clever commanders will be powerless to return to heaven at that time. Therefore, in military affairs, we have only heard of the use of clumsy methods to achieve a quick victory, but we have not seen the use of ingenious methods to drag out a war for a long time. There has never been a situation in which a war has dragged on for the benefit of the country. Therefore, those who do not fully understand the harmful aspects of the use of troops cannot fully understand the beneficial aspects of using troops. ”
Shangguan Xiangzhi laughed: "Stinky scholar, what do you mean is that persimmons are soft and pinched!"
Yu Chi Baolin also smiled: "General Shangguan is really a genius! That's what it means!"
The generals all laughed: "How clear is that!"
The strategists also echoed: "Yes!
Yuwen Lingfeng waved his hand helplessly: "In that case, who should we eliminate first in the other three towns?"
Wei Chi Baolin said: "We should adopt the method of long-distance friendship and close attack, first send people to contact Xining, Nanning, which is far away from us, and then go all out to attack Dongning City, which is close to us!"
Yuwen Lingfeng laughed: "Sir is really a good plan! Okay! Just do what Mr. says! Do you have anything else to add?"
Everyone said in unison: "No!"
Yuwen Lingfeng said: "In this case, the soldiers are fast, reward the three armies tonight, and set off to attack Dongning City tomorrow morning!"
The military generals cheered in unison: "The Lord is wise!"
Just as they were cheering, Baili Wuji had already led eight hundred elite horsemen to gallop towards Beining City.
A week earlier, the city of Bac Ninh had been captured by rebels, and the king had immediately summoned Baili Wuji to discuss countermeasures. After a secret discussion, the two decided to use a surprise attack to eliminate the rebellious Yuwen Lingfeng, kill a hundred people, and stabilize the world.
Over the past week, the spies he sent sent a steady stream of intelligence, and after reading and analyzing it in detail, it strengthened his confidence in the surprise attack.
At dusk, the team had arrived on a hill only a dozen kilometers away from the city of Bac Ninh, and with their marching speed, it was not surprising that they could enter the city in half an hour. Baili Wuji ordered: "All dismount, rest in place, recuperate, and attack in eight hours!"
The eight hundred horsemen immediately rolled their saddles and dismounted, put their horses on the grass to eat grass and drink water, took out their sleeping bags, and after eating dry food, they got into their sleeping bags and rested.
At four o'clock in the morning, Baili Wuji ordered: "Get up! Prepare to attack!"
Eight hundred elite horsemen immediately got up on their horses, and together with Baili Wuji, like eight hundred young tigers waiting to be fed, they rushed straight to Beining City.
The 800,000 troops in Bac Ninh City were in a sweet dream, and they did not feel the slightest sense that death had fallen from the sky.
God seemed to be unable to bear to see this terrible slaughter, so he wept bitterly, and the torrential rain poured down, followed by a howl of the wind, but it drowned out the sound of the eight hundred spirits marching forward.
Then it got colder and colder, and after a while the torrential rain turned into a blizzard.
Half an hour later, the eight hundred elite cavalry led by Baili Wuji had arrived at the south gate of Beining City, not only did they not meet the patrol on the road, but they did not meet the sentries at the gate of the city.
Baili Wuji looked at the silver-clad city tower, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and ordered the centurion of the first team: "Zhuge gossip!"
Zhuge Gossip immediately rolled his saddle and dismounted and saluted: "Here!"
Baili Wuji said: "I will go up to kill the sentry and open the city gate in a while, you lead the first team to rush in and go straight to the north gate, and you are not allowed to let the enemy out of the city through the north gate!"
Zhuge Gossip agreed, turned around and led the first team to inspect the weapons and prepare to attack.
Baili Wuji ordered Li Si, the centurion of the second team: "You lead the second team to seize the West Gate, and you are not allowed to let go of an enemy!"
Li Si promised to return to the team.
Baili Wuji ordered the centurion of the third team: "Zhang Long, you lead the third team to guard the south gate, and you are not allowed to let the enemy pass!"
Zhang Long agreed and led his troops to prepare to go.
Baili Wuji said to the other five centurions: "You go in and kill people when you see them, drive them out of the east gate, and drive them all into the swamp in the southeast direction, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
The five centurions agreed in unison.
After Baili Wuji finished his order, he turned around and performed light skills, and pedaled and pedaled up to the city tower.
