Chapter 278: Planning the Big Picture
Xiao Jiu said: "The day after tomorrow, I estimate that our reinforced army will be able to arrive here, the battle is about to begin, you can send someone to contact the general commander in front, let him come over tomorrow, we have something to discuss." Just say that the leading generals of the reinforcements will meet with each other, not to mention that I came here, it is estimated that you will not be missing the other party's spies here. ”
Uncle nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, there are still a lot of these spies, and if there is a slight movement on our side, the other party will obviously know that we have also searched and arrested many times, and it seems that the results are not great." As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly and looked at Xiao Jiu with a wry smile.
Xiao Jiu said: "This is normal. You think, the other party has already started to prepare for it many years ago, and this is the indispensable person who guards against others. ”
Uncle said: "Then what do we need to do now, what are your requirements and needs, just say it." There are more than 10,000 city defense troops here, so let's hand them over to you. ”
Xiao Jiu shook his head and said: "This is not necessary, you can find two or three hundred people with good martial arts, who are not afraid of death, and who can block things calmly." ”
Uncle said: "It's no problem, I'll prepare now, you will ask for more people." ”
Xiao Jiu said: "You just need to bring the leader here and let him recognize him." ”
Uncle nodded and left, and went to arrange what Xiao Jiu said. Xiao Jiu asked Xiao Qi to talk to his aunt, and he turned around and came out, shaking himself and disappearing. It wasn't until dawn the next day that Xiao Jiu came back from outside, took out a large pile of paper from his body, and handed it to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi distributed the original manuscripts of these maps to all the little girls who came, and began to draw big maps. At noon, my uncle led a big man with a strong body in and said to Xiao Jiu: "This is the captain of the selected warriors, you can arrange everything for him." Then he said to the captain, "Listen to him in everything, and what he says is just as I have said." The captain nodded. looked at the child in front of him, looked at Xiao Jiu without hesitation, and waited for Xiao Jiu's instructions. Seeing this, Xiao Jiu nodded, called the leaders of the big Hans, let them know each other, and said to the captain: "You take the people out of the city, wait on the road to the Eastern Capital, and then follow them to the Eastern Capital together." Wait for our army to withdraw. Then you hide in the eastern capital, and then, when you see this side of the fire, take the east side of the eastern capital, which is the gate on the other side, and welcome the army into the city. Be careful not to reveal our intentions. The captain nodded and left, and went to make arrangements.
At this time, the guards came to report that the front-line general had arrived, and Xiao Qi greeted him out. When the generals on the front line saw it, the little princess came out to greet them. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. After greeting the princess, Xiao Qi also replied: "The general doesn't have to be polite, come in quickly." The general on the front line followed the little princess to the big room, and sure enough, he saw Gongzi standing at the door. Waiting to greet him. The general walked over quickly, gave a military salute to Xiao Jiu and said, "Hello Son, when I saw the little princess come out, I guess you have also arrived." Sure enough, I saw Childe. ”
Xiao Jiu said: "I entered the capital secretly, so I didn't go out to greet the general, don't be surprised by the general." As he spoke, he pulled the general. Come to the table and sit down.
After Xiao Qi poured the tea, Xiao Jiu asked, "The general has always suffered, what is the situation now?" The general said, "Childe, it's easy to do it." My opponent here is very tricky, and the leader of the troops is a famous general of the Tanya Empire, and now he is commanding us on that front, and we are not making a fuss. I'm really embarrassed by my son here. After three battles, they were all defeated and fled, and they were not waiting for the punishment notice from the military department. Saying that, he lowered his head and waited for Xiao Jiu's reprimand. After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and when he raised his head, he saw that Childe was looking at him with a smile, so he had to blush and smile embarrassedly.
Xiao Jiu said: "I'll talk to you about the current war, why do you talk about punishment as soon as you meet." The general said: "The military department has notified me that I will temporarily assume the command responsibility and wait for the handling." ”
Xiao Jiuyi was very angry when he heard this: "You are now the commander of the Eastern Front, you don't have to care about those bastards in the military department." Now tell me what you think about the war. ”
The general said: "From the first time I heard that the opponent was 600,000, I mobilized an army of 800,000 and fought with the opponent, but I was defeated. I have seen from the strength of the other side that it is definitely not 600,000, there are 90 to 1 million people, and then I mobilized 1.2 million troops, but the opponent's troops have reached 1.5 million, and I finally gathered 1.8 million troops, and it turned out that the other side already has more than 2 million troops. I have a word of suffering now. I have estimated that the other side should have at least two million troops, but no one believes this. ”
Xiao Jiu said: "You can take the reply from the military department." The general said: "Take it, I'm here to resign, but I didn't expect it to be the son, it's okay." As he spoke, the approval of the general's headquarters, the seal, the arrows, and the talismans were all placed on the table.
Xiao Jiu glanced at these things, stretched out his hand to pick up the approval document and looked at it, and as the general said, he snorted angrily, accepted the approval, and said to the general: "I have taken back the approval, you took all these things, I don't want anything." Your fault is that you don't know the enemy's situation, but you can also forgive it. You didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to fight this battle in the first place, didn't you have to prepare in advance, I estimate that there will be at least three to four years of preparation, so a large number of their spies have already mastered the forces you use, and then designed their own input forces for your troops, so that you have been wandering around in the maze. But one thing is for sure, your command is really good, even if you have fought such a big three defeats, there are losses, but it can be accepted, the command is also very distinctive, and the transition between attack and defense is timely. ”
The general said sincerely: "The lesson of the prince is that I did not go to the careful investigation and suffered too much loss, which is what I should bear." Xiao Jiu looked at the general and nodded secretly, this is a bright and upright man, and he hasn't said any credit for his own merits until now.
Xiao Jiu said: "This time the opponent has choked you enough, but you haven't let the opponent get much light." Do you know that you are not against more than two million, but a whole army of three and a half million? After your three battles, the opponent has gone to nearly 1.5 million, so I say that the opponent has not touched your light. ”
When the general heard this, he stood up in surprise. Xiao Jiu waved his hand and said, "Now I plan that we will still use his old methods." In order to match the overall operational intent of the entire Eastern Front of the reinforcement army, you must find a way to convince the opponent to withdraw from the defense of the eastern capital and defend near the capital. The key is to make the opponent think that you were beaten back to defend by them, and never detect the intention. ”
When the general heard this, he stood up excitedly and said, "Childe." You'd better withdraw me, let me retreat like this without a fight, it's worse than killing me. ”
Xiao Jiu said: "Then general, let me ask you, what are you doing in this place." Isn't it just to defeat the opponent? Can you beat the opponent's more than 2 million troops with your one million troops? Didn't you wait for the battle to end, and you already had a result? Isn't it just for the sake of the final victory? ”
The general thought for a while and said: "What Childe said is true, but I always find it difficult to accept it in my heart, please don't laugh at Childe, I am such a straight person." ”
Xiao Jiu saw that Xiao Qi nodded to himself, so he said to the general: "This is also understandable. The general came to see. As he spoke, he came to the map and said, "The whole plan is like this. At this time, when the general saw that this map was so vivid, he couldn't help but ask: "There is such a map in the world." The little girl said, "This is what Childe personally measured and drew last night." The general looked at Xiao Jiu with admiration, knowing that Gongzi had not slept all night, and it was unimaginable that he had drawn such a large map of the place, and even included many places occupied by the other party, the difficulty was unimaginable.
At this time, Xiao Jiu pointed to the map and said: "In order to allow the reinforced army to successfully take these three passes and form a situation of closing the gate and fighting dogs, we must transfer the opponent's forces close to the pass to a place far away from the pass, so as to successfully capture the pass." The general's mouth was wide open in shock. Half a sound before he said: "Oh my God, Childe, this is such a big stroke." This is to take down all the opponents on the entire Eastern Front. Okay, now I know, you can arrange it, Childe. I didn't have a word about the execution. ”
Xiao Jiu said: "You must first make the opponent feel very real that you must give up the eastern capital, and then fortify around the capital, transfer all the opponent's forces to the capital, and then we will choose a good place in the capital." Engage in a decisive battle with your opponent. ”
The general was clear and confused when he heard it, and thought for a moment and said, "Childe, there are two questions here. First, once the eastern capital fails, we will lose a lot of soldiers if we attack again. The second is that there is an isolated mountain peak between the eastern capital and the capital, this mountain peak is the east gate of the capital, and it is also a good place to garrison troops. ”
Xiao Jiu asked: "If you lead the troops, will you station the soldiers on the mountain?" ”
The general said, "Definitely." It is wooded, cool and pleasant, and there is no shortage of water. It is a very suitable place to garrison troops, and with the character of the other party's troops, it is definitely a place to garrison heavy troops. And if we take it again, it will be very difficult. ”
Xiao Jiu said: "If that's the case, that's great." I'm afraid they won't go into the mountains. At this time, Xiao Jiu didn't care about the general's expression and asked, "How many actual troops does the general still have in his hands now." The general said: "There are 1,280,000 soldiers who are fully capable of fighting. After listening to this, Xiao Jiu continued: "General, when you go back this time, you will bring some people and arrange them in the eastern capital, as the internal response for the subsequent capture of the city, and send your trusted general to lead 50,000 soldiers in advance before evacuating, enter this mountain and hide, see the fire in the direction of the capital, quickly attack the eastern capital from the east gate of the eastern capital, and then hold on, so that the opponent will lose the barrier to rely on." In order to convince the other side when you withdraw your troops, you have to put on a good show before you leave. After that, you have to defend in front of the mountain in the middle of the way, and then you can retreat to the capital and prepare for a decisive battle. ”
The general listened to so many plays, and his head was big. In the end, he said: "Childe, you will arrange carefully, and I will follow the implementation, otherwise I will not be able to meet your requirements at all, so I will miss the plan you arranged." ”
Xiao Jiu looked at the general and said with a smile: "General, you are very good at catching errands." ”
The general said: "Childe, don't get me wrong, the main thing is that I'm too stupid, it's okay to fight in battle, and it's over with my brain." (To be continued......)
