Chapter 117: The Way to Win
"Your Highness is wise."
"Your Highness is wise."
"Your Highness is wise."
“.....。”
The civil officials and military generals of Lingqiu Mansion spoke out one after another, and they slapped the dragon's fart.
"Alright."
"Let's get down to business."
Guo Tianyi spoke calmly, looked at the ministers and said, "The Nanfeng Mansion of King Han is close to the border of Shandong Province, and this city has been fortified for countless years since ancient times in order to resist the attack of the Wu State, and it is a famous fortified city in the world. ”
"Besides, this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"It's not a plain area."
"What do you think should be done?"
Guo Tianyi's voice fell, and everyone fell into deep thought.
If you want to attack Nanfeng Mansion, how easy is it?
After Xin Jiantong was appointed by Guo Tianyi, he attacked several times, but he gained nothing.
Not only is the city wall tall and the moat wide, but the city gate has also been reinforced, like a turtle shell.
Even if it was the army of Wu that attacked in a big way.
The South Wind Mansion can hold it.
It is basically impossible to storm the city.
"Your Highness, the last general has a plan." Ning Yuanwu opened his mouth and said, "In the past two days, I have followed His Highness to survey the terrain, and the moat of Nanfeng Mansion is connected to the Panlong River, we only need to dig an earthen dam and divert the river water to back, and we will definitely be able to capture Nanfeng Mansion in one fell swoop." ”
Ning Yuanwu is also a veteran.
He knows many art of war.
The Art of War: Fire and water are ruthless, and both can be weapons of war.
The attacker is bright with fire, and the attacker is strong with water.
"Your Highness, this plan is feasible..."Lingqiu Mansion guarded the road, "Water and fire are ruthless, they can all be used by me, if this battle can lead the water to pour into Nanfeng Mansion, at this time in the cold winter of the moon, King Han will definitely not be able to resist..."
"Your Highness, the last general agrees."
"Your Highness, the last general also agrees."
"Your Highness..."
“....。”
The generals spoke out to agree to the water attack.
It's winter.
Under the backflow of the Panlong River, Nanfeng Mansion will surely become a water city.
When the time comes, it will freeze three feet, and no one in the city will live.
Using the forces of nature to win was also a common means of warfare in ancient times.
For example, Zhao Xiangzi of ancient China flooded Zhibo, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Zhou Yu burned Chibi, etc...
"This plan is certainly feasible, but this king thinks it is inappropriate."
"The husband defeats the one who conquers and does not do his work."
"Fierce."
"Fate is Feiliu."
"Therefore, it is said: the Lord is concerned, the good will be cautious, not profitable, not necessary, not dangerous, not war."
Guo Tianyi said solemnly, "Don't forget, everyone, this has always been the internal contradiction of my Dafeng, and those who are fighting and dying are all my Dafeng's people." ”
Guo Tianyi relied on the statement in "The Art of War".
Roughly speaking, it is dangerous for anyone who has won a battle and captured land and cities without being able to consolidate the victory.
This situation is called Feeu.
A wise monarch should consider this issue carefully.
Virtuous generals should take this issue seriously.
When a person dies, he cannot be reborn.
Therefore, a wise monarch should be cautious in dealing with war, and a virtuous general should be vigilant, which is the basic principle of stabilizing the country and preserving the army.
And flooding Nanfeng Mansion seems to be the best means.
But Guo Tianyi's concerns are also here.
It's winter.
It is not easy for ordinary people to heat themselves.
Only the aristocracy could afford charcoal.
Ordinary people burn cow dung and firewood for heating.
Once the Nanfeng Mansion is flooded, a large number of people will die.
In this civil strife, the people of the world are the biggest victims.
"Your Highness's benevolent and righteous heart will not be able to reach the end." Xin Jiantong was a little embarrassed and bowed to Guo Tianyi.
The rest of the people also thought about it and understood Guo Tianyi's thoughts.
Whether it is a water attack or a fire attack, using it on his own people, Guo Tianyi feels that it is inappropriate.
Even if you capture the South Wind Mansion.
captured King Han alive.
You have to deal with the aftermath too, right?
When the time comes, how to deal with such a big mess?
Everyone was in awe of Guo Tianyi.
"Your Highness, the minister feels that attacking the South Wind Mansion is not the biggest problem." Cai Xuan frowned and said, "According to Jinyiwei's intelligence, Teng Wenshan has already entered the territory of Wu Country in the north, if King Han has reinforcements from Wu State, then we will need to face the worst situation for me..."
Cai Xuan, as a civil official under Guo Tianyi, is resourceful and sees problems to the point.
"I don't rule it out." Guo Tianyi is also Zhengsedao, "Although this king is married to Wu on behalf of Dafeng, and Emperor Wu also ordered that the soldiers and people of Wu are not allowed to step into the territory of Dafeng, but if the benefits given by King Jin and King Han are enough, it is not impossible to do so." ”
In his memory, King Han did not rebel in the original history.
However, when the King of Jin raised his army, Teng Wenshan tried his best to invite Wu Guo to come forward to help.
Because of his own crossing, the original historical direction has undergone some subtle changes.
Although Wu now has great contradictions in its own country, and Wu is at war with Rus in the north, this unstable factor cannot be 100% ruled out.
As he was talking, Guo Tianyi suddenly glanced at Cai Xuan, and the same look flashed in their eyes.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both thought of a clever plan.
"Cai Xuan, you continue." Guo Tianyi smiled and looked at Cai Xuandao.
"Yes, Your Highness." Cai Xuan bowed his head and said, "The last general thinks that since Teng Wenshan has gone to the boundary of Wu State, it must be imperative to win this matter, and King Han is ready to rely on the fortified city of Nanfeng Mansion to defend it, if there is an army of Wu State under the city of Nanfeng Mansion, presumably King Han will not refuse them to enter the city." ”
"Huh?"
"Pretending to be a soldier of the Wu State to deceive the city gate?"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"
"Then King Han is not a fool."
"Most of the skin color, hair and pupils of the people of Wu Guo are different from my Dafeng, this plan is not appropriate..."
Xin Jiantong's face was full of confusion, he instinctively felt that this matter was not feasible.
"General Xin, this king's subordinates have a large group of Wu people." Guo Tianyi smiled faintly and said, "Where is Wusun Tuo?" ”
"Your Highness, the last general."
At the back of the generals' team, a big man stood up.
He has curly hair and blue pupils, and he is a pure Wu national.
"Your Highness, this, this..."
Xin Jiantong was dumbfounded, the county guard of Lingqiu Mansion was dumbfounded, and many local officials were ecstatic.
None of them had noticed Wusun Tuo before.
But I forgot one thing, that is, after His Royal Highness the King of Han married Princess Utina of Wu Kingdom, there were tens of thousands of Utina guards?
These people are now Guo Tianyi's soldiers and horses.
And his loyalty to Guo Tianyi is growing day by day.
"Wusun Tuo." Guo Tianyi said majestically, "This king ordered you to deceive the city gate of Nanfeng Mansion, and then join forces with the army to take Nanfeng Mansion in one fell swoop, can you be confident?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Great King of Han."
"Wusun Tuo will live up to his mission!"
Wusun Tuo knelt on one knee, put his right hand in front of his heart, and said sincerely.
Wusun Tuo was only a soldier from Pingming in Wu State.
I was fortunate enough to be selected as Princess Utina's wedding guard, and I came to Daebon, where I lived a life far beyond what I had before.
Dafeng's economy has always been better than that of Wu.
Even ordinary soldiers were paid more than the soldiers of Wu.
In addition, Zang Bing, the general of the pro-guard regiment, was set aside, and Wusun Tuo was promoted by Guo Tianyi, so he would naturally be loyal to Guo Tianyi.
If you want to return to your homeland, it is impossible.
As long as it is a soldier who accompanies the princess to marry, it is impossible to return to China.
Wu used to be like this, relying on marrying princesses and sending dowry soldiers to gradually control the surrounding small countries.
But this trick basically doesn't work for Dabong.
In wartime, these Wu people can be assembled.
In normal times, they would be scattered and divided into various military camps.
Guo Tianyi's soldiers were in danger, and everyone present was secretly frightened.
