Because of Mo Lingjun's counter-plot, Tan Zhong began to ask for reinforcements from Bianzhou in the rear, and on the other hand, the Changying Army, which was the main force of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, was not idle.

About 150 miles from Bianzhou City, in a military camp on the south bank of Baigou, Guo Rong, who was conducting a military discussion, received a letter from Mo Lingjun's plan.

"Good guy, Mo Lingjun's courage is really big!" This was Guo Rong's first reaction after reading the plan sent back by Mo Lingjun.

Looking at Guo Rong's surprised voice and frowning brows, several people around Guo Rong turned their eyes to Guo Rong's hands at the same time, they were very curious about what Mo Lingjun had written, which made Guo Rong so out of shape.

However, before the people in the military tent could ask, a voice suddenly came from outside the camp.

"What did Mo Lingjun do?"

With the sound of voices, two scribes, one old and one young, stepped in.

These two people are the marching Sima of the Changying Army, Liu Yuxi, the actual logistics chief of the Changying Army, and Wu Shaoxiong, the former deputy envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, the assassin of Caizhou, and now Guo Rong's staff.

Behind Liu Yuxi and Wu Shaoxiong, there was also a baby-faced Zhi Muyu, Wu Shaoxiong was Guo Rong who was specially sent by Guo Rong to bring people back after Guo Rong arrived in Caozhou.

It was Wu Shaoxiong, who Guo Rong gave high hopes to ask the question.

Hearing the voice, Guo Rong was pleasantly surprised, as for the reason is very simple, this old gentleman who claims to know nothing about military affairs but is good at handling government affairs has an amazing view of the overall situation and judgment.

Li Shidao hides in the shadows to instigate chaos in order to benefit the fisherman, Guan Longxun will assist the imperial court, and the wealthy families of Shandong will remain neutral......

During the eastward advance of the Changying Army and Zuo Wuwei, the Hebei Army will not move, and it is determined that the Changying Army will move eastward into Jiaodong, and the Hebei Army will pour south......

The Tubo army did not move, not simply sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but in the conspiracy and calculation, brewing an opportunity, preparing to give Chang'an a fatal blow, in order to relieve Guo Rong's troubles, and in order to achieve his own reputation, Li Yu is likely to lead the army to hunt west......

So far, according to the information provided by Guo Rong, Wu Shaoxiong's judgment of the overall situation in Datang is accurate to the point of horror, and Wu Shaoxiong's arrival at this moment is equivalent to sending Guo Rong a golden finger that can judge the direction of the situation.

"Mr. Wu, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!"

Looking at the excited Guo Rong, Wu Shaoxiong's face was full of a relieved smile.

"The general is in a hurry for eight hundred miles, how dare the old man delay!"

"Mr. Wu, your body ......"

"The general doesn't have to worry, although the old wound has not fully recovered, it is still no problem to walk on this hundred miles road, I don't know what Mo Zhonglang has done to make the general lose his temper to such an extent?"

Looking at Wu Shaoxiong with a curious face, Guo Rong didn't even think about handing over Mo Lingjun's letter directly.

After taking the letter from Guo Rong's hand and raising his eyes, Wu Shaoxiong's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly stretched out again, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

Wu Shaoxiong didn't laugh It's okay, this smile made a few curious people around him feel like there are cat's claws scratching in their hearts, Wu Shaoxiong looked up and saw the eyes of several people around him, smiled, looked around in the military tent, and finally locked his eyes on the only military general in the military tent wearing bright light armor, but with an elegant atmosphere.

"Luo Chinese?"

"Exactly!"

"Sure enough, it's a talent, general, how about I ask Chief of Staff Luo to read it to everyone?"

Guo Rong nodded, Wu Shaoxiong immediately took two steps forward to take the letter Luo Chinese, Luo Chinese took the letter, and after reading a few lines, the expression on his face was also slightly twitched.

"Mo Zhonglang designed a very complex strategy, in essence, well, I think it is a combination of anti-intermediary and bitter meat schemes, specifically using ......"

"Mo Lingjun said that he was more than eighty percent sure that the strategy would be successful, but the number of rebels that could be attracted after success could not be determined, and at the same time, because of the change of plan, he would send people to take prisoners along the direction of our main army, and he himself left more than 1,000 people to keep a watch on the enemy army and transmit the enemy's intelligence to the direction of the main force at any time."

While understanding and analyzing, it took a full quarter of an hour to finish explaining Mo Lingjun's arrangements and plans little by little, Luo Chinese let out a sigh of relief, and the expressions of the senior generals of the Changying Army present were somewhat unnatural.

After Luo's Chinese voice fell, Han Xiang's voice immediately sounded.

"It's so complicated, and there are so many people together, and more importantly, there are too many loopholes in it, then Tan Zhong is a veteran, and he has fought for decades, Mo Lingjun is crazy!"

In fact, Han Xiang's words almost represented the voices of all the generals and colonels of the Changying Army present, and everyone in the entire military tent except Wu Shaoxiong was nodding or bringing affirmation.

After all, under the influence of Guo Rong, the principles pursued by the Changying Army at the tactical and strategic level are simple, effective, and practical, and complex strategies are not absent, but most of them are the result of brainstorming at the strategic level.

Guo Rong's first reaction after reading Mo Lingjun's plan was the same as Han Xiang's words, but after Luo Chinese's second analysis, Guo Rong faintly felt that something was wrong.

Although Mo Lingjun is the most radical general in the Changying Army, he is also a very meticulous person in essence, so under his leadership, the cavalry regiment of the Changying Army has always advanced by leaps and bounds, although the casualties are not the least, but the record is the most brilliant.

Just as Guo Rong was thinking along this line of thought, Wu Shaoxiong, who was smiling deeply, spoke.

"Han Xiang?"

"Mr. Wu, it's Han!"

"Well, does Captain Han feel that Mo Zhonglang's plan is a little too risky?"

"Yes, Mo Lingjun's plan does have a chance of success, if it succeeds, it can indeed lead out some more rebels, the problem is that the risk is too great, if there is a little mistake, it will be completely exposed, and the time will ......."

Speaking of general, Han Xiang himself was stunned.

Because Han Xiang found that it was good to succeed, but if it was exposed, it didn't seem to be anything, because the Changying Army was going to have a decisive battle with the other party in the end, so there was nothing exposed at all.

Moreover, the Changying Army also became an establishment of 40,000 people on the way back after cleaning up Jiaodong, in case the other party has the expired information of more than 20,000 people in the Changying Army, even if it fails, it may not be able to deceive the other party more, and the goal can also be achieved at that time......

Speaking of which, it doesn't seem like there's anything to lose at all......

If there is anything, it is that Pei Song, Ouyang Liang and the elite of the fifty people they brought will die tragically in the hands of the other party.

However, in this case, the loss of only fifty people and the chance of dividing and annihilating the other party are all sure to make a profit and not lose money......

The people present, Guo Rong, Meng Qian, Luo Chinese, Han Xiang, Dong Jia (cavalry), Ruan Tao (head of the 2nd Infantry Regiment), Hong Pingan (3rd Regiment), Huang Hankai (4th Regiment), Lin Yu (Modao), Liu Yuxi, and Zhe Muyu, were either the core generals of the Changying Army or newcomers with great promises, and none of them were real fools.

Looking at the core groups of the Changying Army who were on average less than 30 years old in the military tent, Wu Shaoxiong was full of emotion.

Such a young group, full of vigor and bright prospects, if there is any shortcoming, it is too young!

It should be said that they are not only young, but also invincible under the command of Guo Rong.

Being young means full of vigor, and being invincible means bursting with confidence, but at the same time, it will inevitably bring the unique arrogance of young people.

On the way to follow Zhi Muyu, according to Guo Rong's letter and the exclusive content of Zhi Muyu, Wu Shaoxiong thought seriously about the way, originally he was still thinking about how to persuade Guo Rong to change his original intention of swallowing 400,000 troops in one bite.

I didn't expect that there was the best opportunity now, and the person was quite neat, so he didn't hide it, and said directly.

"The Changying Army trained by the Great General and the Emperor Taishang is indeed powerful, not only the soldiers are strong, well-trained, firearms, weapons, and ordnance are endless, two months ago, the four thousand Changying Army actually defeated the Huaixi Army several times beforehand, which has proved this."

"The general's point of view is that there is no victory without encirclement, and the general's core plan is to use Bianzhou to attract Hebei rebels, and then use 40,000 Changying troops to defeat the Hebei rebels with at least 400,000 people, and then let the peripheral Dongdu, Xuanwu-Huaixi, and Lubei finish on the outer line."

"With the combat power that the Changying Army is showing now, if the environment, conditions are suitable, and the opportunities are suitable, it may not be possible to defeat the main force of the rebels head-on in a battle, and when the time comes, Dongdu, Xuanwu-Huaixi, and Lubei will participate in the end, and when the time comes, it will inevitably trigger the Central Plains, Hebei, and Hedong to take the initiative to participate in counterinsurgency."

"Including the generals, including Mo Zhonglang, including Han Situ (Han Hong), what they have done is to create an environment and conditions suitable for the Changying Army to fight, but it's just ......"

With one sentence, the spirits of everyone present tensed.

"40,000 against 400,000, the environment and conditions required are too harsh, and it is too difficult to create the most suitable environment for the 40,000 Changying Army by relying solely on the movement of peripheral forces!"

It's too difficult, and I said the hearts of all the generals and colonels of the Changying Army present at once, isn't it too difficult......

Under the condition that there is no generation difference in combat effectiveness, 40,000 people fighting 50,000 people can rely on combat effectiveness, willpower, and discipline, but Guo Rong dared to use 40,000 Changying troops to shake the 400,000 Hebei rebels, relying not only on these things, but also on the combined force of the Changying army's combat effectiveness and huge equipment, and gunpowder with amazing lethality.

In this state, being surrounded has become the most taboo thing for Guo Rong, because in the case of absolute disparity in strength, it is inevitable to be surrounded.

"I know that the general and you are most worried about being under the enemy's back, unable to exert their full combat strength, and being drowned under the endless sea of rebels."

"40,000 against 400,000, it is inevitable to be surrounded, but if it is down to 300,000, there is no risk of being surrounded?"

"Even if Mo Zhonglang's counter-plot succeeds and divides the rebels, and the Hebei rebels are divided into two 200,000, will the 200,000 not be surrounded?"

As soon as this sentence came out, almost everyone's brows furrowed, more than one person fell into contemplation, and the entire military tent was instantly silent, and the air pressure was amazingly low!

"It is indeed too difficult to simply rely on the mobilization of troops from the periphery to create a suitable battlefield and environment for the 40,000 Changying Army, but what if the goal of building a battlefield is changed from 40,000 to 140,000 and 240,000?"

Almost instantly, everyone raised their heads in unison and looked at Wu Shaoxiong with a smile.

"40,000 against 400,000, being surrounded is inevitable, what about 140,000, isn't it so easy? Can the other party easily surround you? ”

With a simple sentence, Guo Rong suddenly realized.

40,000 versus 400,000 is an absolute disparity!

140,000 versus 400,000 can be called asymmetry!

240,000 versus 400,000, that's roughly the same number of troops!

You don't see, the largest tank battle on the Blue Star, the Battle of Kursk, Hansmeow's 900,000 vs. 1.5 million hairy bears, was grandly called roughly equal in strength, and was ridiculed by the initiator of the Battle of Ping'angrad.

Of course, Guo Rong, who is already at the level of commander, understands the meaning of roughly equivalent, the so-called roughly equivalent, indicating that the two sides are opponents on the same level, nothing more than a strong one and a thinner one, but in general, they are adults, not the scene of a thirty-year-old strong man beating a five-year-old bear child.

"140,000, Grandpa Wu, how can we have so many people, there were a lot of people at the beginning, but they all let the general be cut off on the road, I already knew it...... Hey, young! ”

Being able to call Wu Shaoxiong by Grandpa Wu at the scene also relied on the young Zhi Muyu, but when he said it, he was directly hit by a blow to his head.

While covering his head, he glared at Han Xiang, who was bursting with his chestnuts behind him.

Then, Zhi Muyu read a very familiar word from Han Xiang's lips, "Stupid!" Shut up......"

"Han Xiang! What are you doing! ”

"Of course there are so many of us, and more than that!"

"Where did you say the people came from?"

"Deputy Envoy Han (Deputy Envoy of Han Chong Xuanwu Jiedu) led the Xuanwu-Huaixi Army to have a full 70,000 people in Songzhou, Zhang Sikong (Zhang Sulu Northern Jiedu Envoy, Inspection Sikong) reserved 30,000 people in Jiyin, and at least 50,000 people in the eastern capital Luoyang can be called."

"But that's not what the general is going to ......."

Halfway through speaking, Zhi Muyu was stunned, and then scratched his head embarrassedly, he was not a fool.

Of course, through the bickering between Zhe Muyu and Han Xiang, even if the people present reacted a little slower, they understood what Wu Shaoxiong meant, as long as they jumped out of their inherent thinking, everything was possible for these young people who were less than thirty years old.

To be honest, Guo Rong also understood, but after thinking about it for a while, thinking about his original intention of leaving a large number of soldiers and horses on the periphery, Guo Rong's face once again had a complicated expression.

Guo Rong's complicated expression was particularly dazzling in the military tent full of joy and excitement, which made the generals under his command have strong doubts.

"General, what Mr. Wu said is reasonable, even a group of farmers and village women can do these things even if they are a group of farmers and village women, why let hundreds of thousands of troops do it, with these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if the enemy army pours out, what can it do!"

Hearing Luo Chinese's straightforward persuasion, Guo Rong smiled bitterly, except for those who crossed over from the later generations of China, I am afraid it is difficult to understand this entanglement in his heart.

Fortunately, not all of the people present were young people, and others didn't understand, but their life experience was extremely rich and they had a long talk with Guo Rong, and Wu Shaoxiong, who knew Guo Rong's true ideals and goals, understood.

Seeing Guo Rong's expression, Wu Shaoxiong didn't talk nonsense.

"It's good to have a generous and merciful heart, but it's good to be kind and not to be in charge of the army, general!"

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!"

Guo Rong nodded, he understood the reason, but the war disaster was too terrifying, and the place where the rout went was not something that could be summarized by a living being.

It's just that Guo Rong also understands that now is not the prosperous era of the future generations, and there are some things that can be considered in the prosperous era, but the troubled times are ......

Kill the Holy Mother first in troubled times, of course, including yourself, mercy is a good thing, but now I am not qualified to talk about it.

"I understand, Mr. Wu, in troubled times, use heavy codes, and cut through the chaos with a quick knife! Han Xiang, Zhe Muyu, the two of you went to Songzhou and Jiyin respectively, and informed Han Chong and Zhang Su to send troops in advance! ”
