Chapter 36: Decision
Zhang Yu said: "Now that the balance has been handed over, the time is the sunrise." The location of the army will be determined in advance. ”
Xinling Jun said: "I intend to set up the camp in this city, what do you think, sir?" ”
Zhang Yu said: "Where the big camp is located, it is often in the Chinese army; The general is here, and he can be left and right, and he thinks it is the center. This city is far away from the army, but it is a place where people live, not a town of generals. ”
Xinling Jun said: "Where the army is located, the troops are abundant, and the Jin Contempt Doctor can go to the town; Although it is located in a remote area, the city is small and the responsibility is heavy, and I deserve it. ”
Zhang Yu said: "What does the king mean by this, the minister is foolish, I hope the king will enlighten!" ”
Xinlingjun said: "What does Mr. Zhongyue think? ”
Zhong Yue said: "This city is located in a remote area, and the king's presence here will be unexpected; There are assassins in this city, and there must be hidden secrets in them; All the soldiers and the people's army on the edge of the city are transferred from various departments, not owned by one department, they do not know each other, they have no subordinates to each other, and the king will make them unrestrained; In the matter of the army, the king already belongs to the Jin doctor, so let the doctor be stationed in the center and take charge of the army, so as not to violate the king's will. ”
Xinlingjun said: "Mr. is insightful, admire!" As the ancients said, worry is not in the moment, but also within the Xiao wall. ”
Zhang Yu said: "This is not what the ministers dare to know!" If so, how will we act? ”
Zhong Yue said: "Pay the Jin doctor with the knots, do the military commission, and listen to the order in the south!" ”
When everyone here heard this, they were all in an uproar. Xin Lingjun said: "What Mr. Zhongyue said is very much in line with my intentions. Doctor Jin has become a country, and I should listen to his orders. ”
A guest asked in a loud voice in the seat: "The king does not want to make such a great contribution, but entrusts it to others!" ”
Zhong Yue said: "The king is the king's brother, how can the position of a minister be added?" I want to be the prince! We should put national affairs first. ”
Xinling Jun said: "Handing over the Jiecheng and entrusting the virtuous ability is the way of respecting the virtuous in the Wei State." ”
Zhang Yu said: "In this case, what should General Mang do?" ”
Xinling Jun said: "The king has ordered him to return to the court to preside, can he do it when the sky is bright?" ”
Zhang Yu said: "General Mang has always had a strategy, and today's military formation is planned by him, so that he and Doctor Jin are different before and after, and then return to the court." ”
Zhong Yue said: "Respecting the virtuous without giving authority is not the way of respect." Both the commissioner and the Jin doctor, that is, should be entrusted with full power. General Mang can return to the court at dawn. ”
Zhang Yu said: "In this way, it is not the way to treat the virtuous as General Mang's performance." ”
Xinling Jun said: "That's the case, when General Mang is asked to stay in the small city for a day, and then return to the capital at dusk, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Yu said: "If General Mang returns to the capital, the little general will naturally return with him, and this guard ......"
Xinling Jun said: "The guards ordered him to return to the capital with General Wei Mang,...... Leave one of the names called Erhei! ”
There was a burst of laughter from the audience: it really looked like a dog's name.
"That's ......, the ministers understand!" Zhong Yue hesitated.
"Mr. Zhu thinks that you can fight Qin during the day?" Xin Lingjun asked the question he was most worried about, "General Mang thinks that Qin Yuan is sixty miles away, and he has not made a surprise attack when our army has withdrawn; At this time, our army's camp has been decided, and Qin will continue to advance step by step. Therefore, our army had two days to set up the formation. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Yesterday, the army moved to camp, and the Qin army did not see the approaching post, so it can be seen that there is no confrontation during the day today. ”
"Therefore prepare for war with all your might during the day. You gentlemen can teach me! ”
"Mr. Jin is quite familiar with geography, and he should push Mr. Jin when it comes to arranging formations." Zhang Yu said, "Mr. Cao is brave and can be the front." ”
A doorman knelt up from his seat and said, "The minister thinks that if it is the arch guard, the current arrangement is really appropriate." There is a flat river on the periphery of the beam, there is no danger to rely on, relying on the abandoned city and Xiaoyi, which is quite in line with the art of war. The army of 100,000 is ten miles from the beginning to the end, and it is properly dense. No matter where the Qin army came from, the armies were able to rescue each other. According to what the minister saw, when the Qin army attacked, there were two ways: one from Xingbei and the other from Xingnan. From Xingbei, our army was on track, and our army fought in turn according to the battalion and borrowed the city, so there was no need to worry. From Xingnan, Xiaoyi will be attacked by its enemy first, and it will wait for the army to rescue it later. Unlike coming from Xingbei, where our army can resist one by one, coming from Xingnan, our army is on the right road, and cannot retreat, but can only fight to the death. Therefore, the ministers thought that if Qin would be the Marquis of Sui or Wu Anjun, he would come from the south. then our troops will be the first to suffer from their enemies. ”
"If so, what should be done to break it?"
"The best policy is that our troops fight in front of them, and the army strikes behind them. The middle strategy is that our troops gradually retreat, and the army hits them. The next strategy is that our troops will defend Xiaoyi, and the army will help them. The upper strategy is to break the enemy, the second is to retreat the enemy, and the lower is to resist the enemy. May the king judge him. ”
"What does Mr. Zhang think?"
Zhang Yu said: "If the whole Qin army attacks, and our troops fight to the death, in Mr. Cao's opinion, what is the number of victories and defeats?" ”
Another person in the seat knelt up and said: "Our department is a partial crowd, as a division of 100,000 tigers and wolves, and the number of victories and defeats is determined!" If you use surprise soldiers to attack it before and after, and many parties make mistakes, and wait for the army to rescue, the victory or defeat is unknown. ”
Xin Lingjun asked, "What is the gentleman's strategy?" ”
Mr. Cao said: "Take the convenient and good shooters, strong and brave warriors as a battalion, supervise the morale, and clear the rewards and punishments, so that they can toss and turn among the ditches and reeds, or hit or shoot, or shout, or sing gold, and many parties hesitate. When the enemy attacks, they scatter, and when the enemy retreats, they reunite. In the city, they are strict and strong. In this way, there is a chance to win. ”
Xinlingjun said: "What do you gentlemen think? ”
No one in the room spoke. After a while, Zhang Yu said: "If you gradually retreat, what will be the number of wins and losses?" ”
Mr. Cao said: "A partial journey, before tasting the enemy; The front army retreats and the rear army is afraid, and it is as immobile as a mountain! ”
Xin Lingjun asked: "Mr. Jin's so-called gradual retreat, how many miles did he retreat?" ”
Mr. Jin replied: "It will take about half a day for reinforcements to arrive, and the enemy will travel ten miles, and the first battle should be ten miles away." ”
Mr. Cao said: "If it is only for plundering the enemy and not fighting the enemy, then the formation can be organized!" Half of the troops can be divided, and the other half will be ready to fight; The troops of the raiders turned to the rear in turn. As long as the military order is in accordance with the law, the chances of victory should be won. ”
Xinling Jun said: "In this way, I have a plan!" ”
Zhang Yu said: "I wish to hear the king's plan!" ”
Xinlingjun said: "Mr. Cao led the front to taste the enemy, and after encountering the enemy, he received the enemy on the one hand and announced on the other. Or mistake it with strange soldiers, or plunder it with regular soldiers, and listen to Mr. cheap. The rest of the battalions were divided into two divisions, one formed outside the city and the other was stationed inside the city, echoing each other. Fight to the death. Mr. Cao is still a strange soldier, before or after, as he can be. ”
Everyone on the table said: "I am willing to listen to the king's dispatch!" ”
Xinlingjun said: "I don't know what Mr. Cao needs? ”
Mr. Cao said: "To be able to recruit people who are accustomed to war and are good at walking, it takes about a battalion. ”
Xinling Jun said: "Whether it is a military soldier or a civilian army, it is all selected by Mr. If you need to ask that gentleman for help, you can do it! ”
The man on the seat said: "Dare to be disobeyed!" ”
Mr. Cao stood up and walked out.
