Chapter 36: Brainstorming

A month passed, and Yue Feng found that once things made sense, he was more happy. Guo Jia, Qingzhi, Green Butterfly, Yu Ji, Yue Lei and others will find themselves to play chess if they have nothing to do, and they will go to Yanwutang together to learn if they have time, as for Pang Tong, he is still very busy, he wants to build up each of his teams, and he may be busy for a long time, after all, Pang Tong is happy with his own creativity. Dian Wei, Zhang Feiyun, and Zhang Zhicheng, Tuoba Gui, and Ma Chao are not so happy, they need to recruit troops, train soldiers, and have to be stationed. Zhang Yi and Xun Yu handle government affairs, like the premier of the State Council, and they basically sit for a day, but sometimes they come out to see the sunshine and dance with swords, which can be regarded as Yue Feng's understanding of the hard work of his subordinates.

In this month, Yuefeng's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, mainly because it was too smelly, but now there are more plays, which is naturally better. He also decided that the general rotation system needs to be implemented more thoroughly, otherwise everyone will be busy and sitting alone in the state capital, or taking a thousand guards to the restaurant to drink alone, it will be boring.

Yue Feng ordered Guo Jia to expand the General Staff Department and the Political Department of the Military Department, absorb more young people, and strive to let them all be able to defend one side, so that the core people will hang their titles and idle posts, and if they want to be majestic, they will go to the place to play the big names of high-ranking officials and generals, and they can come back and drink with themselves with confidence when they are majestic enough!

Yue Feng met with Green Butterfly a lot, and found that Green Butterfly was becoming more and more cold about his teasing, and he could even say that he ignored it. Yue Feng suddenly felt bored, as long as he had nothing to do with Yu Ji, after all, Pomeranians smiled, and it was also a wonderful thing to see. It's the so-called evil but not lewd!

Yue Feng knew that Xizhou had sufficient troops, and Zhang Zhiming was also handsome, which was of great use, but he still held back and did not transfer Xiang Yu back, because only in this way could Xiang Yu grow up quickly. When he attacked Zhuang Sheng or the war that followed, it was not too late to transfer him back.

After Zhang Feiyun and Guo Qing were together, that kid actually had a second spring, not only did his martial arts skyrocket, just like Zhang Fei was reborn, but Yue Feng found that his political acumen and military talent had also improved sharply, just like Zhao Yun was alive, Yue Feng even felt that he was a combination of the two. Yue Feng is also very satisfied with his own media, Guo Qing seems to be cooperating with Yue Feng, and he is directly happy, but now there is not much time, and there is no B ultrasound, so he can only give birth to boys and girls. Every time Yue Feng saw Zhang Feiyun return to Qinzhou Mansion, he was always with Guo Qing, just like a conjoined baby, always with him. For this reason, Yue Feng also asked for a matchmaker bonus, that is, the godfather of Zhang Feiyun's child. Zhang Feiyun agreed, and said with a smile that as long as he wasn't his father, he could do anything. I almost got so angry that I vomited blood.

Yue Feng also summed up whether to give a matchmaker to the green butterfly, because if a woman does not have a man for a long time, she will be psychopathic. Green Butterfly has a cold face every day, it is simply a cold-faced star, and the guards jokingly call it a rare smile. Yue Feng thinks that Qingzhi is good, although he has been a wild man for many years, but now he has no wildness, but he doesn't like words a little. Some people think that Qingzhi's ability is mediocre, but Yue Feng knows that the Qing family has a learning origin, but it is just a matter of character and does not like to be in the limelight. But even so, Yue Feng would never dare to be a matchmaker rashly, not to mention the senses of Qingzhi, even the fierceness of the green butterfly also made him sweat. Because Yue Feng generally doesn't care much about the smirking of the guards in addition to his business, the guards also know that if they do their jobs well, the other Yue Feng will not be angry. There were bold guards, thinking that the green butterfly was the same, went to show love, and was beaten by the green butterfly for a week, and then the green butterfly also sent silver two to make amends, but no guard dared to show the slightest disrespect to the green butterfly. Therefore, the guards around Green Butterfly are the most disciplined, no matter where they go, they are conscientious, and of course, they are also the most female.

On the late autumn solstice, Yue Feng summoned everyone to the No. 1 secret room to discuss how to deal with Zhuang Sheng. Except for Xiang Yu, Qian Fu, and Zhang Zhiming in Xizhou, all the core generals arrived quickly. The old rule of holding meetings in Yue Feng is that Yue Feng introduces topics, Yue Lei introduces intelligence, and Guo Jia talks about money and grain reserves and troops. Then everyone discussed, and finally discussed it, and Yue Feng summarized the final conclusion and issued instructions.

In view of the signs that Zhuang Sheng is about to raise troops in the spring, Huaizhou and Kongzhou are even more unreliable, and they have to prevent them from joining forces to fall into the ground. The issue of Yue Feng is whether to defend in the spring, adapt to the situation, or attack in the winter. It is not the first time that Ma Chao and Guo Qing have participated in the meeting, but now there is no Yue Jian Liu Sheng in the core meeting, after all, he is old and can't keep up with the rhythm, but it is better to support the elderly.

Yue Lei roughly talked about Zhuang Sheng's information, which was similar to Green Butterfly's information. Zhuang Sheng had about 120,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry. Among them, the solemn tiger prison is 30,000 steps. 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry garrisoned the capital. 10,000 infantry defended the Great Wall in the north, and 40,000 infantry were divided into important places in the south to grasp the city.

Guo Jia also talked about the situation in Qinzhou, Xizhou had just been conquered and could not move again. Qinzhou has sufficient money and grain, and its commerce is developed, which is enough for half a year for an army of 100,000. After the reorganization and adjustment of the strength of the generals, the soldiers are now all elite soldiers, about 40,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, of which 20,000 are siege troops. If you go on an expedition, you can send 30,000 cavalry and 90,000 steps, so that the remaining 70,000 troops are enough to defend Huaizhou in the southeast.

Yue Feng thought for a while and said: "The cavalry doesn't need too much, now the shield is advanced, and the infantry part has a heavy shield, the county town of Zhaozhou is dense, the spacing is not large, and the role of cavalry raids is not great." It should be more reasonable to send 20,000 horsemen and 100,000 paces. ”

Guo Jia said: "It depends on the situation, I will adjust." ”

Yue Feng said: "Now Zhuang Sheng has signs of transferring troops to the Tiger Prison, with Zhuang Sheng's courage, maybe now, maybe early next spring." My personal opinion is that the first strike is stronger, and then the first strike, after all, Qinzhou was beaten, and it was Qinzhou's economy that was destroyed. We have to negotiate the results as soon as possible, so let's speak one by one. Yue Feng pointed casually, it was actually Dian Wei.

Dian Wei thought for a while and said: "No matter when you fight, it shouldn't be a big problem, although Zhuang Sheng is difficult, but he is narrow-minded, the problem is that the tiger prison can be attacked, retreat can be defended, Zhuang Sheng is invincible, even if he is surrounded and defeated, it is just a retreat." ”

Yue Feng commented: "Off topic, but the Tiger Prison is indeed the key! How to overcome the Tiger Prison?"

Qingzhi continued: "There are mountains on both sides of the tiger prison, and it may not be impossible to cross, but if there is less, it will be meaningless, and if there is more, you will find it." If you can bypass the Tiger Prison, or surround the Tiger Prison on both sides, it is estimated that it will be easy to attack the Tiger Prison. ”

Yue Feng commented: "It takes a long time to go over the mountains and mountains, maybe the winter has passed, the mountain team has not yet gone out of the mountain, and the troops will not be too many, so it will not help." But Kiyoyuki's proposal is worth thinking about, if we go around, where do we need to go around?"

Yue Lei continued: "The intelligence shows that Yu Bin is stationed on the North Great Wall, and is despised by Zhuang Sheng, if he can rebel, he can start from the north of Qinzhou, make a detour of thousands of miles, go to the north of the Great Wall, and enter the pass to attack the capital directly." ”

Yue Feng thought for a while and said: "This is a clever plan, but if Yu Bin surrenders, after my expeditionary force penetrates deep into the ground, the whole army will be annihilated." If you don't consider Yu Bin, attack the north pass of the Great Wall, if you attack the city in winter, you can't hold the weapons, freeze your hands and feet, talk about attacking the city, if you send siege troops, you need to march for more than a month, and you will be explored by Zhuang Sheng, if you only send cavalry, five days can be, and it takes fifteen days to mix foot and horse. So I think to take it by surprise, maybe we can think about how to get the cavalry across the North Great Wall. ”

Yue Yu said: "The problem of weapons in winter can be solved by wrapping cloth and sheepskin gloves, so that you can quickly produce cotton jackets to keep warm, and war horse cotton coats." As for the problem of grain and grass, you can quickly make 120,000 catties of salted beef jerky, 300,000 catties of dry food, and compress hay into bales, 60,000 bales can be used for 30,000 cavalry, each riding carries four catties of beef, ten catties of dry food, two bales of hay, ten catties, these loads can fully support the cavalry for half a month, if they arrive on the fifth day, the north pass of the Great Wall is not broken on the fifth day, and it is enough to return. ”

Yue Feng thought appreciatively, Yue Yu had also grown up, and he lived up to his painstaking cultivation back then, so he said: "Okay, but it is indeed still a problem for the cavalry to break the city." ”

Ma Chao interjected: "I am willing to lead the cavalry into battle and go straight to the Beijing Division." ”

Pang Tong ignored Ma Chao, rolled his eyes, and said, "I can lead the elite of the construction team to change horses and rush to the Great Wall, and select part of the Great Wall near the Tiger Prison flat area." The non-pass area must have fewer troops, and perhaps no one can say for a long time. After that, he sent the members of the two-faced heavenly team to assist the elite of a construction team and a member of the lurking team to climb to the Great Wall, and then the heavenly team and the construction team returned. It is up to the elite builders to solve the problem of how many materials are needed to pave the Great Wall into a corridor. ”

"Before the cavalry arrives, we can directly ascend the Great Wall by the Fifty Heavenly Brigade, temporarily attack a section of the Great Wall area, and can lift a hundred dead soldiers to resist for half an hour, and in half an hour, directly lay a simple ramp that is ten meters wide on both sides and reaches the wall of the Great Wall thirty meters high. Then the cavalry arrived and crossed the city. If unfortunately it fails, the celestial team withdraws, the dead are really dead, and the cavalry withdraws. In this way, after the 1,000 cavalry directly carried the materials and laid, after the 30,000 cavalry passed through the Great Wall, the 1,000 cavalry team recovered all the materials and returned. It can also have a surprise effect, dividing troops to raid the Tiger Prison and the capital. ”

Yue Feng thought for a while: "I understand, it's just to step on the point first, then come back to prepare the materials, and then the construction team and the dead soldiers touch over to pave the way, and finally the cavalry passes." This is really worth a try, the disadvantage is to give up the exit of the Great Wall Beiguan, if we have 30,000 cavalry, they will lose contact with us from now on, and they will be completely self-reliant, and even if they attack the tiger prison, it will be difficult to cooperate with the timing. There is also a question of how concealed this method is, if it is not hidden, it is better to directly besiege the troops to pass, and it is more secure to add peace. ”

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "Hurry up and whip up, change horses, and step on the point for five days to return." The production of materials, with the power of Qinzhou, can be used for two days. Then the construction team dispersed and rode away, about five days. The cavalry followed the construction team. On the whole, it will only be about half a month, and as for the hidden problem, I will think about it in detail and try to go through dozens of ways as much as possible. ”

Yue Feng nodded and motioned to continue.

Guo Jiadao: "Why give up persuading Yu Bin to surrender? On the one hand, we can persuade Yu Bin to surrender, and at the same time Pang Tong still acts according to the plan, if Yu Bin surrenders, in order to prevent Yu Bin from cheating, we will send 5,000 infantry to train as cavalry, falsely claiming 10,000, if Yu Bin surrenders, occupy the north pass of the Great Wall, defend it, and send another 30,000 cavalry to pass the pass, so that the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended. ”

Yue Feng thought to himself, Guo Jia was still so ruthless, not only to others, but also to his own five thousand people and their leaders. If Yu Bin uses a trick, Guo Jia's meaning is that there are no more than 5,000 people, so it is a special training, and it is estimated that Guo Jia will find some recruits.

So Yue Feng said, "These are not foolproof measures. However, war is like this, and all possibilities cannot be expected, and the seven-tier victory rate is worth a full try. But 5,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry need to be improvised, and who of you wants to take orders?"

The generals all stood up, but the two were the most prominent, Ma Chao, who almost jumped out of three meters, it seems that he has not been tortured by the army for a long time, and Ma Chao is now extremely restrained, but he still has a coquettish heart. Zhang Feiyun is also extremely eager. Yue Feng was very embarrassed, he believed that Ma Chao would have no problem leading 30,000 cavalry, but Ma Chao was coquettish and a little uneasy in his heart. Zhang Feiyun has no problem leading 5,000 fake cavalry, but once he is ambushed, he will die for nine lives, and Yue Feng is afraid of sending a lieutenant general casually, so he can't play Yu Bin, after all, he was also a state commander in the past.

Yue Feng pondered for a long time and said: "Let's make preparations with both hands, Pang Tong will implement the plan according to the plan, and the generals will be selected, just see the return of the people who persuaded Yu Bin." ”

Yue Feng asked the others, they all have no opinion for the time being, Yue Feng announced that according to the above Guo Jia, the person in charge will take immediate action, and today is over, three days later, we will discuss how to attack the tiger prison and pacify Zhuang Shengguo, and those who have not discussed will speak first next time.

The reason why Yue Feng hastily dismissed the meeting was that everyone didn't have any ideas about the Tiger Prison, so he left everyone time to think, hoping to gain something.

Tiger Prison Pass is indeed a male pass, it is not an exaggeration to call the first pass in the world, the pass is about ten miles long, three miles wide, the wall is twenty zhang high, five zhang thick, and both sides are like this. Even if the heavenly team wants to climb, it will also be shot into a sieve, and even if the siege troops project boulders for a week, they may not be able to pile up the city wall, not to mention that it can't hit that high, even if it is stacked so high, the wall is wide enough to allow the defenders of the tiger prison to hold on for a long, long time.

And Yue Feng thought that even if the north pass of the Great Wall was lost, 30,000 cavalry would not be able to break into the tiger prison, and if the infantry army entered from the north pass, logistics supply would be a huge problem. Therefore, the 30,000 cavalry had to cooperate with other outwits to obtain the tiger prison. Yue Feng had a vague idea in his heart, but it had been hazy and difficult to penetrate. For example, if the tiger prison is broken, Zhuang Shengsheng will fight the tiger prison, and then be pursued by the cavalry, it will be perfect. How to break it is still a question.;
