The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 10: 0 Mile Journey
What I said to Prince De is very simple, "My lord, there may be no trails to detour around here, the mountains and mountains may not be detoured, but we can also make detours and lure them into battle. We are not afraid of them. Be brave and good at fighting, for fear that they will not be able to defend and attack the city forcibly, so it is better to find a way to lure them out of the city, and since Tian Wei is good at fighting, he is definitely not reconciled to just defending the city." I'm just talking about a principle, but Prince Germany has been battle-tested. , I immediately understood it, besides, it is definitely not possible today, it is better to go back and discuss it.
Of course, I did not speak in the subsequent military meetings because I am not very familiar with military affairs. I am just good at analyzing intelligence and judging where I can proceed based on experience and knowledge. Moreover, Rong Yuan is already dissatisfied with me now. If I am too pushy, he will inevitably hate me. I would rather offend the gentleman than the villain. I remember this very clearly, but these staff are really powerful. I just put forward a hypothesis and they can list all the ideas. , And then check for doubts and make up for the omissions, set out various plans for A, B, C, D, and finally list feasible strategies. The more I look, the more I admire, maybe my expression is too obvious, they are a bit embarrassed, even if Rong Yuan looks at me Also softened a lot.
The next day, the Prince of Germany sent sergeants to collect firewood around, looking for paths, and then ordered the remaining half of the sergeants to rest in the camp. The rest of the sergeants stood far away looking at the city of Berkshire, neither attacking nor Do not retreat, but send people to pretend to attack from time to time. If the defenders on the tower react a little, they will retreat. After noon, the resting sergeant and the morning sergeant changed shifts.
On the third day, the sergeant of the Southern Chu Army pretending to attack in front of Bajun City began to get busy, either digging trenches, practicing fists and feet, loosening muscles and bones, and pushing the drums of the army to the front of the city, every half Beat the drums and shout every hour.
On the fourth and fifth days, the defenders on the city became tired and numb. After all, there were only 10,000 defenders in the city of Nanjun. Although Nanjun is the gateway to the Kingdom of Shu, it is because of the good relations between Shu and Nanchu. The staff is not enough.
On the sixth day, the Shu army in the city became uneasy, and the good news came that we found a path to bypass Ba County, and the second step of the plan began. The southern Chu army began to gather the army, slamming its troops, as if they were about to attack. The Shu army in the city became tense. It was obvious that the defenders increased. At night, the army began to march quietly. These Shu state secret agents who were paying close attention to the southern Chu army After realizing it, they naturally came to the conclusion that the South Chu army wanted to bypass Berkshire. Although for them, the South Chu army bypassed Berkshire and did not attack, which was tantamount to giving up the security of the back road and supplies, but Tian Wei He has a strong and militant personality. The reason for this insistence is that the army is insufficient. Although the southern Chu army has only 50,000, it is the most sophisticated army in the southern Chu. Therefore, Tian Wei is under great pressure. Seeing that the situation is not right these days, he and After discussing for a long time, the generals under his command felt that the Southern Chu army must bypass Bajun. After discussion, some generals suggested that if the South Chu army really bypassed Berkshire, and if Berkshire did not attack later, then the entire South Chu army will be destroyed in the future, and the soldiers of Berkshire will inevitably be punished. This shadow makes the generals. Both feel uneasy. Finally, Tian Wei gave an order to attack Nan Chu’s heavy squadron from behind while the Nan Chu army had not completely bypassed.
The fifty thousand army wanted to march from the small road, and the speed was extremely slow. It didn’t take long for Tian Wei to catch up with the rear of the Southern Chu army. Tian Wei waved the big knife in his hand and shouted: "The Nanchu dog thief will leave. "Just as he shouted, Tian Wei's five-thousand light cavalry cut into the rear army of Southern Chu like a steel knife. The Southern Chu army fled. Tian Wei ordered to throw torches on the grain carts, and the flames burst in a flash. , In the flames, Tian Wei laughed loudly and ordered to continue the offensive to defeat the Southern Chu army. At this moment, a group of infantry in white armor appeared among the fled Southern Chu army. They greeted Tian Wei, and Tian Wei felt a chill. Isn't this the guard of His Royal Highness Prince Germany? The guards were supposed to be guarding the Chinese army, but now they actually appeared here. Could he be fooled? Tian Wei was looking around. The fire of those food trucks quickly went out, and after that infantry, he shot a shot. Zhao Zi Huanglongqi, Tian Wei is worried and worried. If he is really in the middle, then he will be defeated, but after thinking about it, he is right in front of Prince De’s guard, maybe Prince De himself is not far away. , If you kill Prince De in one fell swoop. Tian Wei couldn't stand the temptation, and moved forward with orders. The two armies intersected. Although Tian Wei’s cavalry had the advantage, the Nanchu infantry was good at fighting the cavalry. They saw their front sergeant knelt down quickly, blocking the Zhangba long spear in front of the horse, and the back sergeant pulling With a bow and arrow, Tian Wei was blocked by the narrow terrain. Tian Wei killed him for a while. Seeing that it was impossible to win, he ordered the withdrawal. Their horses ran fast. After a while, Tian Wei was completely out of the battlefield. Wei thought fortunately, but it was a small victory. The horse galloped for more than a dozen miles and had not rushed far. Suddenly, the Nanchu army rushed out from both sides of the road, attacking on both sides, Tian Wei He quickly ordered everyone not to stay, fighting casualties, and working hard to break through the encirclement. At this time, Tian Wei already had a chill in his heart. In just a dozen miles of mountain roads, from time to time there were raids by the Southern Chu army. They were not many, and they all used bows and arrows. Attacking from behind the bushes, woods or rocks, if it weren’t a valley, I’m afraid that Tian Wei’s thousands of cavalry had no hope of escape. That’s how it was when Tian Wei saw the Bajun city wall, it had already taken more than half an hour, and only 3,000 remained. The remnants of the army, approaching the Bajun city, Tian Wei saw the red flag of the Shu army falling from the top of the city, and the yellow dragon flag of the Prince of Germany rising from the top of the city. Tian Wei watched as several Shu soldiers on the city were chopped down to the ground. In the cold light of the swords and guns, Tian Wei saw a very uncoordinated person, a young scholar in a green shirt. Shi, he was looking at himself with pity, in the blood and fire, his clothes did not seem to be stained at all. He stood on the city wall, but was separated from the other Southern Chu sergeants. He seemed to be a ghost who did not belong to the battlefield.
I went up to the city wall before the siege was completely over. This time, the Southern Chu Army left 10,000 people under my proposal. This is what I learned from reading before going to bed after the military discussion, Prince De After the approval, when we continued to dig trenches, we dug a lot of big pits near the battlefield, and then when pretending to go around, we hid 10,000 troops in the big pit, covered with oil cloth, and the cloth was covered with loess. Sure enough, the spies only noticed the empty camp, but did not notice the Tibetan soldiers' cave just a short distance away. After Tian Wei sent troops, we took advantage of the negligence of the defenders and immediately began to attack the city. As a result, the lax defenders were defeated by us. The reason why I boarded the city wall was because I wanted to see the ending. Of course, the reason was that when Shu returned to the army, I was afraid that we would retaliate and kill the staff who stayed outside. For this reason, we all entered the city. Of course The guards were also very strict, lest we were injured by the remnants, and then I said that I wanted to see what was happening outside and climbed onto the city wall. Xiao Shunzi smiled and sent two guards to follow me. They were to protect Wang Haiwang’s army, but Jianjun Wang already knew that Xiao Shunzi’s kung fu was good, and he was very good with me, so he promised to send someone to protect me. I heard from Xiao Shunzi that these two people have good kung fu, at least they can protect me until the South Chu Sergeant comes to rescue me. My time.
I walked through a sea of blood, carefully not wanting to get blood stains, but the blood ran into a river under my feet, and my shoes were soaked with blood before long, but my luck was good, at least there was no blood on my body. When I endured the smell and screams on the battlefield and reached the wall, the few remaining Shu troops were quickly killed. Looking down the city, I happened to see the returning Shu troops. Then the red-robed general stared at the city blankly. Behind him, smoke billowed, and I could see our army's flag. Suddenly, the red-robed general rushed towards our army with a big drink, and then I just watched. This cavalry was besieged, weakened, and defeated by our army. From a distance, I saw the red-robed general slay himself with a horizontal sword, and was still roaring before he died.
My heart trembled. The war is not as understatement as I have seen in the history books. In the eyes of the people of the Bajun Shu army, our army is an evil enemy, killing their bodies. Take away their city, but what can we do? At this moment, I really hate this war. For the benefit of Dayong and Southern Chu, the Kingdom of Shu must be destroyed, and the blood will flow into a river in exchange for the superiors. Joy, is this really worth it?
Next, I got sick. The blood and the screams made me sleep well and eat poorly. During the rapid march, my condition gradually got worse. Later, one night, Xiao Shun The son went to my camp and dragged me up and said: "I know why you are sick, so put away your cheap sympathy. Both of us have become enemies. We are at war. If we lose, we will die. What kind of benevolence, morality, etiquette and shame, I only know, I have to live, for you, I have to live, then you, you must at least live for me, remember, you saved my life, if you don’t let me pay it back This debt, I will never let you die."
I saw the tears on Xiao Shunzi’s face in a daze, and said faintly: "Xiao Shunzi, brother, I know you treat me like brothers, but I always bully you, you always take care of me and protect me , But I'm leaving now, don't be sad, you don't owe me anything."
Xiao Shunzi slapped me severely and said, "What do you think I always do with you? You never look down on me. You think my Xiao Shunzi is a person. You teach me to read and help me learn martial arts. Without you, who would take a look at my Xiao Shunzi, if you die, I will die with you, and I will be your brother in the next life, so that you will always cover me."
My tears rolled down, yeah, how could I die, I still have a brother, if I die, isn’t Xiao Shunzi alone? I always know that Xiao Shunzi always I want to run there because I see him as a person, a man of flesh and blood, rather than a little eunuch, a person without a face. Hmph, what is the state of Shu? What does the death of your people have to do with me, let alone the state of Shu, it is the death of South Chu, and what does it have to do with me? These days, I am very sick, except for Xiao Shunzi and the military doctor. , I didn't see anyone. Although Prince De came here twice, he later forgot about me. I reluctantly got up and said, "Give me two pills from the white porcelain bottle in my bag." Xiao Shunzi hurried over to do it. I took the pills with difficulty, and said, "I want to rest for a while, and prepare me a little richer tomorrow morning. Breakfast."
Three days later, after I slept for three full days, I finally ate the breakfast delivered by Xiao Shunzi, walked out of the camp, and looked at the clear sky. I stretched out my hands and took a deep breath. He told Xiao Shunzi that my illness was just right, and told Wang Jianjun that I would take his car today.
During the ten days I was ill, the progress of the South Chu army was relatively smooth. The attack of South Chu’s attack on Bajun made these small cities lose the confidence to hold on. With this strategy, they attacked softly and advanced quickly. Exceeding expectations, Dayong did not know what was going on, and no information came. In the following days, I recovered from a serious illness, so I didn’t have much official duties. I often wrote poems in my spare time. I didn’t have to say any more. Although Prince De had apologized to ask about my condition, I would not forgive me. His, he used to take me so seriously, and I put me aside when I was sick. Therefore, I always say a few words of thank you indifferently. Anyway, I often spend time with Jianjun Wang, so I don’t have to worry about him. Embarrass me, I am so stingy, how.
Just in the march, before the Southern Chu army arrived at Luocheng, they met with the navy that had arrived in advance. Luocheng was the barrier of Chengdu, the capital of the Kingdom of Shu. At this moment, 50,000 troops of the Kingdom of Shu have gathered here. The famous national general Wei Xian led 20,000 troops in front of Luoxian County to build a village in front of the mountain. As a support, the general Longbu led 30,000 to guard Luocheng. The southern Chu water and land army attacked Fushuiguan with thunder, and the guards fought blood for several days. After all, he abandoned the city and settled in Fucheng. He knew that the next battle would have to be protracted, so he only arranged for the amphibious garrison to be carefully arranged so that the navy could cruise through the water and isolate the back-ups. In Fushui, there were mountain roads outside the south gate, and Prince Germany used the navy to transport troops to attack Luocheng from the east and west gates. However, Wei Xian led the army to attack each other. Within a few days, the two armies fought **** battles, and the southern Chu army did not have the advantage. Seeing that the sergeants were exhausted, Prince De simply retreated his troops. In addition to sending naval troops to cruise from time to time, he only suspends troops to prepare for battle in Fucheng. Although it is far away from Southern Chu, it is not supplied by the Southern Chu army due to the water transport and the abundant resources in Shuzhong. lack of. The battle is at a deadlock.
On November 27th, I finally got Dayong’s report.
Dayong is led by Yongwang Li Zhi with 200,000 yuan. Because he bought the defender of Yangping Pass in advance, he easily broke in. Lien Chan and the victory took two months to conquer Nanzheng. Although Dongchuan belongs to the Kingdom of Shu, Prosperity and splendor are all in Xichuan, so the people of Dongchuan can’t help resentment. After Li Zhi entered Sichuan, the army did not commit any crimes, and the remnants of the army were wiped out, and the thieves were wiped out. In March, Dongchuan calmed down, Li Zhifang and Chen Bingjia before the pass, Once Jiameng Pass is broken, there is no barrier to the east of Chengdu.
Meng Yun, the lord of the Kingdom of Shu, defended the enemy on both sides, stretched out, and dispatched urgently. Jia Mengguan’s defenders totaled 90,000, and another 20,000 were sent to aid Luocheng, leaving Chengdu empty. On November 12, 20,000 reinforcements entered Luocheng with the support of 30,000 defenders in Luocheng and 20,000 troops from Wei Xian.
When Prince De received the battle report, his face was black and blue, because even if Dayong retreated, as long as he held Yangping Pass, Dongchuan would be controlled by Dayong. If he could not get Luocheng, he would not be able to resist the Shu army. If he retreated to Ba Jun, he would not bear it, so now, Nan Chu is more anxious to attack the Kingdom of Shu than Dayong. But for so many days of confrontation, there is no progress at all, so why not make people worry. However, it is comforting that the South Chu reinforcements arrived. Now the South Chu land and water armies total 90,000. At least they will not be defeated. In this way, under the attacks of Dayong and South Chu, the Kingdom of Shu will be defeated sooner or later, but it may not be the South afterwards. Chu got Chengdu.
During this period of time, I have a relatively leisurely time. Apart from eating, I walk around every day. Of course, to be careful of the spies and assassins of the Shu army, I won’t go too far, and if it’s too leisurely, it will make people jealous, anyway. I can't get in now either. Rong Yuan took advantage of my illness and deprived me of the power of the military counsellor. Of course, the excuse was my serious illness. For him, I am still ill. But I don't care, anyway, there should be no chance of defeat in this battle.
I am idle, I told Xiao Shunzi about finding a guard. Xiao Shunzi thought about it for a long time and was very embarrassed. He didn't know too many masters to introduce to me. According to his statement If all the masters he met were killed by him and needed loyalty, it was even more difficult. He asked me if I should find a little **** as an apprentice to teach him martial arts, and then protect me, but I refused. The reason is that the time is too long. Another reason is that the **** can't go out of the palace often. Xiao Shunzi thought for a long time and said: "It will take a few years. I will come out of the palace and come to you."
I wanted to nod, but if Xiao Shunzi is recognized by others, or is found in trouble, then I simply said: "Well, I am going to resign when I go back this time. I like staying in the palace, how about the two of us wandering around the world from now on?" Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said happily: "This is also not bad, I have long wanted to walk around, and I am tired of Jianye. Then let's go. Where is it?" I thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the Kingdom of Shu is destroyed. If Dayong and Nanchu can't fight for a while, we will go to Dayong to see. When Dayong and Nanchu fight, we will go to the Northern Han Dynasty. Take a look, when Da Yongruo fights with the North Han, we will return to Nanchu. Decades of ~IndoMTL.com~ are enough for us to travel around. If we are tired anytime, we will find a place to live." Shunzi's face was full of yearning.
Just when the two of us were looking forward to the future, suddenly Xiao Shunzi threw towards the flowers in the courtyard without warning. The figure is like a ghost, fast and fast, a gray shadow in the grass springs up, and the two figures join together. Xiao Shunzi retreats, the figure folds, turns around on the volley, and strikes again. The man hurried back. However, Xiao Shunzi hit the center with a palm, and he was suddenly stunned.
I saw Xiao Shunzi nodded to me, and gently walked closer to look at him, but he was a young man in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, and he couldn’t tell when he walked into the crowd. He was wearing Nanchu's military uniform, but I could see that the dress did not fit well, and I could smell a faint smell of blood. This man was a spy of the Shu army. I thought to myself that he should have handed it in. Secondly, this is a duty, but thinking of what I said just now, if they knew it to Prince De, they suddenly gave birth to murder, winked at Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi understood, and slapped the man's head with a palm.
The man opened his eyes in pain and just saw Xiao Shunzi's movements. He rolled **** the ground, Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly, turned his palms, and continued to hit the man's head. I Seeing the look of grief and indignation in the man's eyes, somehow, he said: "Stop." Xiao Shunzi's palm has reached the man's Tianling. Hearing me stopping, he suddenly retracted the attack and retreated behind me. I solemnly said: "Brother, I must kill you. If you have any last wishes, I can fulfill you."
An excited look flashed in the young man’s eyes, and he said: "Please let my wife go."
I was stunned, when did I **** his wife? I don't seem to have done such a thing.
