After Zishou sent Zhang Youren away, and ordered Fang Xiang, Fang Bi, and Chao Lei to go out as a whole army, they thought about it for a long time in the camp tent.

Although he didn't know how to fight, he knew that there was a famous saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War, "Match with the right and win with the odd."

With the odd of winning the odd, the machine, also known as Yu Qi, means the excess part.

To win a battle, the basic battle strategy is to hold it head-on, hold the front steadily, and then have a surprise force break through from any direction other than the front to achieve the so-called victory.

This strategy has been annotated by Cao Cao, and Li Shimin has also mentioned it, and even emphasized it in "Tang Li Asks the Right", both of which are immediate monarchs, and there is no need to question the ability to command the army.

Since preparing to go on the expedition, Zishou has investigated how people in this era fight, and he can't escape the concept of winning with righteousness and oddity.

Because this strategic concept actually comes from Emperor Xuanyuan's "Grip on the Strange Sutra", today's generals basically use this book as the basis for the art of war.

Therefore, when he set out on the expedition, he began to slow down the march indefinitely, not dividing the troops, only increasing the troops, not only giving Eshun a chance to breathe and making his surprise attack fail, but also preventing Wen Zhong, Lu Xiong and others in the court from being unbearable by continuously increasing troops, and taking the army directly to do it himself, only Zheng is not surprised.

But he never expected that King Yue, who appeared out of nowhere, personally brought troops to help, and became a strange soldier that no one could have imagined.

Zishou didn't have to think about it, Eshun had already focused on the Chaoge army, the Chaoge army could not be more positive, on the contrary, the Yue Wang's army could not be stranger, and it was impossible for Eshun to realize that there was a surprise attack on soldiers and horses behind him, and the surprise attack would definitely be successful.

"Concubine, change my armor. ”

Zi accepted the robe, Ma Weipo couldn't stay any longer, this flag was inserted so steadily, but it didn't play the slightest role.

The only way to do this is to take advantage of the time when King Yue's soldiers and horses are in a hurry to give him a ruthless blow.

If you stand on both sides, you will inevitably be defeated.

And Zishou estimated that Uncle Wen couldn't sit still, and most of them had to come, so he wouldn't be so free at that time, so he had to take advantage of the fact that he was coming.

At the very least, you have to earn back the mediocre value, otherwise you will really let the king of Yue succeed in attacking Echeng, not only will the mediocre value be all in vain this month, but the earned last month will have to be compensated, and it will develop directly towards Cao Cao and Li Shimin, who are both civil and military.

After defeating this for a while, Wen Zhong is almost here, and the old man has taken over the command of the three armies, even if he can't win in the future, it is still no problem to ensure that he can advance and retreat freely.

.............

The Han River is the most marginal river in the Chu region, and it can be said that when it enters the Han River, it basically enters the Chu land.

At this moment, on the Han River, a fleet of ships is sailing on the river.

The building boat that the king of Yue rode on was named because of the height and width of the ship, and the appearance resembled a building, and it was divided into two floors, the upper floor was used to fight soldiers, and the lower floor was rowing sailors.

This thing was stolen from the Yue people, the Baiyue tribe had learned to use canoes to earn a living in the coastal waters as early as 6000 AD, and the shipbuilding skills were quite good, and during this period, the Baiyue had already formed a trade circle linked by ceramics, and extended its influence to the coast and overseas islands through waterways.

As for how big overseas is and whether there is an end to the sea, no one knows for the time being, after all, this is a world of gods that cannot be inferred by common sense.

The weapons used by the soldiers on the ships were spears, axes, bows and arrows, short swords, etc., and there were many kinds of weapons, such as bows and arrows when the ships were far away, and long-haired and short-sword strings when they were closer, and finally the boarding battle.

In addition to the building ship that the king of Yue rode on, most of the remaining warships were made by imitating the function of chariots, some warships were equipped with an angle of attack at the bow, which could ram the enemy ships, and some warships were similar to cavalry called bridge boats, and there were many tricks.

King Yue was standing at the bow of the ship, his body a little bloated.

He looked at the endless water surface and summoned his own general, Yue Min: "General, there is an estuary gathering not far ahead, I don't know how the general intends to act." ”

Yue Min held the sword on his waist, walked to the side of the boat, and said to the king of Yue: "Just as the king of Yue arranged to act, after the estuary gathering, there will be no more waterways to block, just abandon the boat and travel by land, you can lead the army to attack Echeng." ”

King Yue did not speak.

Yue Min was silent for a moment and said, "The king still needs to send another general to guard the estuary to prevent the back road from being intercepted." ”

"The general said that he laughed!" King Yue smiled when he heard this: "Eshun is tired of facing the soldiers and horses of Chaoge going south, and has no time to take care of us, King Wu is short-sighted, and he has not been able to see through King Xu's strategy to drive Wu to swallow Yue, I am afraid that he is still dreaming of separating one side, and it is impossible to find out that the army of the Lone King is moving." ”

Yue Min smiled and said: "Who to guard against, the king must know, the king's soldiers and horses have not moved, even if there is a move, led by Chao Lei, the sailor who is coercive in Dongyi will not be able to abandon the boat and travel by land, if Chao Lei leads the army to be stationed at the mouth of the river, our retreat will be in the hands of others." ”

"Although it is a surprise attack, it is also a siege, the lone soldiers and horses are not good at attacking the city, and even if they can capture the city by force, the loss will not be less. King Yue looked into the distance, his eyes were very far away, and he said in a deep voice: "The king of the Xuan is scheming, this time he actually directly calculated the princes of the three roads, if it is not a last resort, who is willing to open his mouth and call the ministers? Although the lone has been happy to surrender, but he also has to keep a hand, the king is really terrible." ”

"General, you say, Lone did this, right?"

Yue Min nodded: "The king is right, in the troubled times, anyone has to guard against it, the king relies on the land and the army, and now he is attacking Echeng by surprise, and he has won the trust of the king of the army with the loss of the army, and he has to leave a good way to retreat and keep the land no matter what, and the king can understand it." ”

"Yes...."King Yue sighed: "Then this estuary gathers and bothers the general to guard it personally, and the lone king will rely on the general." ”

Yue Min patted the battle armor and said solemnly: "The king has a life, Yue Min is here, the estuary is gathered, the estuary is lost, and Yue Min is dead!"

"Alas...."King Yue sighed lightly, his face gradually changed from solemn to helpless: "How could King Xuan have such a strategy?"

Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of arrows breaking through the air suddenly came from the north direction.

"What's going on?" King Yue and Yue Min were shocked, how could there be enemies on the Han River?

"The king, the king is not good!!"

A herald hurried over, and before he could speak, he was kicked into the water by King Yue.

The water surface is so open, and the warships and the banners of the big merchants appear in front of them so big, without a trace of concealment, why do you need a herald to report the news.

"It's over, could it be that the real goal of King Fei is Lone?"

King Yue gritted his teeth, and his face gradually turned pale.

Could it be that everything is wrong, the king of the Xuan Dynasty does not want to attack Eshun at all, but himself?

The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, the purpose of the king is just to attack the princes, so that the princes are afraid of the cold, and then relieve the pressure of being attacked by the group, so whether it is to fight Eshun or beat him to the king of Yue, it seems that there is no difference!

Since it is a strategy to drive Wu to swallow Yue, if you don't swallow Yue, will it stop?

But isn't the king afraid that he will completely lose the hearts of the people because of this, and let all the princes deviate from morality?

At the moment, King Yue couldn't think about anything else:

"Hurry up and meet the enemy!"
