Chapter 422: Solving Problems Outside the Battlefield
Wu Feng said again: "Master, for what happened twenty years ago, in fact, I only know it through hearsay. Please also ask the master to describe it in detail. ”
Su Mengzhen was slightly stunned, and then nodded.
Thinking of Li Qing, the strongest opponent he had encountered in his life, Su Mengzhen sighed: "That man is really terrible, he is cold, vicious, and unscrupulous, but he is hot-blooded, strong, and decisive, gathering people's hearts with love and righteousness, so that the entire Xiangyang County will die for him." Feelings, desires, kindness, promises, everything is just his tools. ”
"Not long after I inherited the position of the hall master, Li Qing had already integrated the Three Rivers Sword Sect for many years and raised troops to attack. ”
At the age of thirteen, Li Qing placed his grandfather and uncle under house arrest, took control of Sanhe, and succeeded to the throne much earlier than Su Mengzhen.
Su Mengzhen said again: "Li Qing doesn't like to bring too many people, and only led three thousand elites. He did not even arrange for the militia to transport grain and grass, and did not think about this at all. ”
"Your father and I hurriedly gathered our troops and engaged Li Qing's vanguard troops, but he was defeated by his outnumbered troops. Because he has no food at all, and he can't sneak up on his back road. ”
"We wonder what he plans to do, whether he intends to solve the food problem entirely by looting. As a result, after a few more defeats, the wealthy families of Nanyang County defected one after another and sent him plenty of grain and grass. We learned that he had been secretly working on a whole year of tweaking before launching the attack...... At that time, it was the autumn harvest, and the wealthy families had a lot of surplus grain. ”
Su Mengzhen paused and continued: "So I let Xiaoguang surrender, I often bullied him when I was a child, and our brothers didn't have a good relationship at that time. So I think I should be able to fool Li Qing. ”
Xiaoguang naturally refers to his cousin Su Youguang, that is, a generation of famous heroes Bai Junlang.
He sighed: "However, when so many people are falling to Li Qing. He can still accurately distinguish between a deception and a real surrender, and he will once again defeat us with heavy losses. Xiaoguang was only seventeen years old at the time, and the reason why he was able to take Li Qing's move without dying was actually because Li Qing was afraid that I would attack his back, and he didn't use all his strength. We fought it ourselves. Only then did the whole army be wiped out, and retreated with the remnants. ”
Wu Feng was also shocked when he heard this, and sighed that Li Xun's grandfather was indeed a terrible character, although the so-called "If you don't die young, you can win the world before the age of thirty" has its boasts, but Li Qing is worthy of a generation of heroes.
"After that, almost the entire territory of Nanyang County fell. Li Qing's army swelled to 10,000 soldiers and more than 40,000 militiamen...... And we only have 3,000 soldiers and 10,000 militia left, including reinforcements from Cheongsu and Iwakura. After all, everyone didn't want to be eaten by Li Qing. ”
Su Mengzhen raised his head and said: "That is really a complete desperate situation, we are almost completely desperate, but how can the thousands of years of foundation of the Divine Hall be buried in my hands? ”
However, the dangers in the mountains still fell one by one under Li Qing's onslaught. ”
His expression suddenly became solemn, and he said the key point.
"I made the last effort. There are two different kinds of rumors that come out. One is that Li Qing's confidant Mr. Lan Dingji wants to rebel, and the other is that Li Qing listens to slander. Intending to kill Mr. Landa. Li Qing has received too many surrendered troops, so it is easier to install spies. ”
"Your father is in charge of spreading rumors among the enemy army. ”
Wu Feng also pricked up his ears, the plan he wanted to offer to Su Mengzhen was here.
Hearing about things related to his father also made Wu Feng feel emotional.
"Master. That's right. As a result, Mr. Lan Da's son, Lan Lidao, actually fell for the trick and launched a mutiny, and a round of random arrows shot Li Qing into a sieve......" Wu Feng smiled: "Li Qing has made thousands of calculations, but he didn't count the people he trusted so much, and he suddenly went crazy. ”
Su Mengzhen also laughed: "The Zhushan Sect is a powerful branch of the Three Rivers Sword Sect. And the Haihe Li family only came to the top after the decline of Sanhe and reintegrated Sanhe. So Zhushan is not convinced. ”
So Li Qing gave the beautiful woman he had cultivated to the leader of the Zhushan Sect and ordered him to take the secret medicine, but when the two of them cultivated, both men and women set themselves on fire and died. Li Qing took the opportunity to install his own side of the Blue Plough Daoist as the leader of the Zhushan Sect, which was a great kindness...... Moreover, after the mutiny, the Blue Plough Daoist was immediately cut into meat sauce by the generals loyal to Li Qing, and even I couldn't understand what his motives were. ”
Wu Feng said leisurely: "Probably because Li Qing did too much unscrupulous deeds, planted the seeds of suspicion in the hearts of his subordinates, and finally suffered retribution." However, the master can see that the Lan family may be the flaw of Sanhe, and it is also very powerful. ”
When Su Mengzhen heard this, he seemed to be very useful.
He asked again, "Are you asking me to let go of the rumors of Mr. Lan Da's rebellion again?"
Wu Feng nodded: "Not bad." ”
Before he died, Li Qing held Mr. Lan Da's hand and expressed his belief that his son's rebellion had nothing to do with him. Later, after Li Qing's death, there was civil strife in Sanhe, and Mr. Lan Da saved the life of the young master Li Zhong from the assassins sent by Li Yong who colluded with the gods, and called on Li Zhong's uncles Li Xiao and Li Kang to support Li Zhong, successfully saving the Sanhe Sword Sect, so it was more important than in the Li Qing era.
"Now the Sanhe Sword Sect is divided into two parties, one party is the retainer party headed by Mr. Lan Da, and the other party is a family headed by Li Xiao. Li Zhong trusted Mr. Lan Da even more, but the rule of the Three Rivers Sword Sect had to rely on his relatives. ”
Li Xiao did not take the opportunity to seize the throne after the death of his brother, but supported his ten-year-old nephew, but now the power is not as good as Mr. Lan Da, he has always been very dissatisfied, and has repeatedly accused Li Zhong of reusing the father who killed his father and enemy to raise tigers. ”
Su Mengzhen groaned slightly: "This rumor killed Li Qing last time, and this time it will definitely make the core of the Three Rivers Sword Sect even more unstable." However, Li Xiao is a person who knows the general situation, and he will not give up rescuing Junyang City because of this. ”
Wu Feng showed a look of full confidence: "As long as the master adjusts the siege plan, he can persuade Li Xiao to stand by." ”
Su Mengzhen sighed: "What's the solution?"
Wu Feng said: "The way to siege the city is to encircle three queyi." However, the master set up a siege on all sides, and the purpose was nothing more than to eat the elite of the Three Rivers in Junyang City and consume the living power of the Three Rivers Sword Sect. However, this is not conducive to a concentrated attack, and it is also easy to provoke strong resistance from the enemy. ”
Canglan allowed the people to leave the city in time, reducing food consumption and avoiding the risk of spies infiltrating the city, but it also led to a shortage of manpower to repair the city wall, and the most feared high-intensity onslaught regardless of casualties. ”
"If you attack with all your might, when the city is breached, the enemy will inevitably flee to the southeast. Li Xiao can take the opportunity to absorb the defeated troops and expand his own power, and the responsibility can be shifted to Li Zhong, saying that it is because Li Zhong reuses Mr. Lan Da that he has been made internally unstable by rumors and is unable to rescue Junyang, so the uncle and nephew will start to eat dog, and the internal contradictions of the Three Rivers Sword Sect will continue to expand. ”
Su Mengzhen said: "This is indeed beneficial to Li Xiao, but if you don't eat the troops in Junyang City, taking an empty city will not be a big blow to Sanhe." ”
Wu Feng Qingmei smiled: "Li Xiao must think so too, so he will definitely fall for the scheme." ”
"However, the reason why the blow is not big is because Tianzi Peak threatens the Divine Hall. If the threat of Tianzi Peak can be removed, then capturing Junyang is equivalent to opening a fatal breakthrough in Xiangyang County!"
Su Mengzhen was moved: "Feng'er, you mean, you have a way over there Xue Yiren?"
Wu Feng showed a strange look, and whispered a few words in Su Mengzhen's ear.
Su Mengzhen laughed for a long time, his voice was like thunder, but there was more and more of a natural and powerful power.
He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Feng'er, it's really you, you actually got the baby daughter of Xue Yiren." As long as Tianzi Peak forms an alliance with the Divine Hall, the Three Rivers Sword Sect will be slaughtered by us. ”
Wu Feng was slightly embarrassed and said, "Actually, Miss Xue is chasing me." ”
Su Mengzhen patted Wu Feng's shoulder violently: "You kid ......"
He exclaimed, "Couldn't have been more praised." ”
The military is a continuation of politics, and military problems can be returned to politics and solved by means outside the battlefield.
Before Wu Feng came over, he had to conduct sufficient investigation and understanding of the overall and detailed situation in the Central Plains and the environment around the battlefield before he could come up with such a strategy.
However, Su Can and the others only focused on the battlefield itself, and even did not study the battlefield itself.
The gap between ordinary strategists and top wise men is reflected here.
Wu Feng said: "After the city is broken, when chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, the master can personally take action and kill the Junyang City Lord General Canglan." It is disgraceful to climb the city wall in person, but it is good to take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies. As for Jiu Zhongci and Shi Shuzheng, after all, they are just young people, and if they destroy Sanhe in the future, they may be able to collect and use them, so it is recommended not to ignore them. ”
Although Canglan is Li Zhong's distant cousin, he does not belong to Li Xiao's kinship party, but to Mr. Lan Da's party. If he died, Li Xiao would also gloat. ”
He had fought alongside the two on the prairie, and he didn't really want them to die from his own scheme.
Wu Feng said again: "Before Junyang City falls, please don't tell anyone that this plan is mine." ”
Su Mengzhen said, "That's nature." ”
He also said with great appreciation: "I have always been afraid that Li Xun will surpass Li Qing back then, and now it seems that even if Li Xun is ten times better than Li Qing, he is not afraid." ”
Before his eyes, the future of the temple was bright. (To be continued......)
