"Whenever we fight with the enemy, if our strength is weak, we should pretend to show our strength so that the enemy cannot predict where the strength lies, and he will not dare to fight me lightly. Then I can protect the army with the whole division." Zhangzhou Prefecture Zhi Longxi
In the city, the first-class Adahaha fanzu Zeyuan started talking about the art of war.
His confidant Nanjing guerrilla Wang Jin repeatedly praised: "Okay, what the commander said is wonderful!"
Zu Zeyuan asked Wang Jin with a smile: "Wang Youqi, do you know what the commander said?"
This stopped Wang Jin in his tracks. He was good at flattering and fawning on a snowy night. He was also good at dancing with fists and sticks, and being brave and ruthless. Only by reading, the seven orifices opened up to the six.
Wang Jin blushed, "The general is obtuse and does not understand the commander-in-chief's will."
Zu Zeyuan laughed heartily and his vanity was greatly satisfied. He was born as a general in Liaodong and had been familiar with military books since he was a child. Later he joined the army and made many military exploits with his uncle Zu Dashou. However, he was not as good as his uncle Yuan Yuan in terms of integrity. Zu Zeyuan
After Dashou was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he always remembered the kindness of the Ming Dynasty and refused to fight against the Ming Dynasty because of his illness. Zu Zeyuan was different and worked for the Qing court wholeheartedly.
Many literate people like to make friends with uneducated people because they can get great satisfaction from the admiring eyes of the other person. It would be even better if the uneducated person knew how to flatter. Zu Zeyuan
I like Wang Jin very much, because every time he mentions something that Wang Jin doesn’t understand, Wang Jin will always look confused and shout with great admiration: "Oh, Commander, you are so knowledgeable! I will be so impressed that I admire you."
Because he liked Wang Jin, Zu Zeyuan did not pursue his crime of losing Nanjing.
"You are ignorant and incompetent," Zu Zeyuan said proudly, stroking his beard, "I have told you many times that a general must read more military books, but you just don't listen. Alas!"

"Yes, yes, yes, after I return, I will definitely follow the commander's instructions and read more military books," Wang Jin said with a playful smile.
"Well, hurry up and find hundreds of civilian ships for me, the sooner the better!"
"Don't worry, Commander, there isn't much else in Zhangzhou, but there are a lot of ships."
After returning home, Wang Jin called a subordinate who was knowledgeable in literature and asked him what he meant by those false and true words that Zu Zeyuan just said.
It took the subordinates a long time to figure it out: "General, the commander-in-chief means that when our army is not as strong as the enemy, we have to bluff."
??
"The shame of Jingkang is not over yet. The hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed! Driving a long chariot, trampling through the gap in the Helan Mountains." A hundred miles outside Longxi City, Yan Tianfeng, the general of the Pinglu Army, looked up to the sky and roared, with strong ambitions. Once upon a time, I was just a
A small military counselor is now leading a hundred thousand troops to conquer the Huru in the north and recover the mountains and rivers. How happy!
"The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and they are laughing and talking about drinking the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Let's start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky." A loud voice rang in my ears.
Yan Tianfeng turned around and looked, and it turned out to be Nan'anbo Hao Yongzhong. He had always thought that this black man who liked to carry big flags was a rough man, but he didn't expect that he could also recite lyrics.
"Nan Anbo also understands poetry?"
"The governor of the country asked the generals at all levels to learn some writing and calligraphy in their spare time. The last general also asked his husband to read and learn calligraphy, but the last general was stupid and couldn't learn it. I only remember that this poem was written by Grandpa Yue, and the last general liked its momentum.
I just memorized it. But I don’t quite understand the meaning.” Hao Yongzhong was a little embarrassed.
Yan Tianfeng praised Hao Yongzhong with great pleasure: "I have seen each other with admiration after three days apart. Nan Anbo is really the Lu Meng of our Ming Dynasty!"
The two were chatting happily when suddenly a scout came to report, "Commander, urgent military information, Tatar reinforcements have arrived."
"What!"
Yan Tianfeng was astonished. This time, he used more to defeat fewer and faster to defeat slower. It only took him half a month to reach the gate of Zhangzhou Prefecture. According to the intelligence, the Qing army in the city was no more than ten thousand at most, and it was easy to defeat Longxi City. How could he have expected the enemy?
The reinforcements arrived so quickly. These Tatars have just finished fighting Zhu Chenggong, don’t they need to take a rest?
"Let's go, Nan Anbo, go to Xixi with me."
When the two came to Xixi, they saw that the waterway leading to Longxi City was densely covered with various boats. There were hundreds of them.
Yan Tianfeng looked solemn, "With so many ships, I'm afraid there may be more than 20,000 people!"
In fact, this was a trick of the Qing general Zu Ze Yuanshi. He ordered hundreds of empty ships to be found, and only put some soldiers and civilians on the bows. They planted flags everywhere to pretend that reinforcements were arriving. He ordered the ships to
The team deliberately sailed slowly on the Xixi Waterway in broad daylight so that the Ming army scouts could see it. Later, they densely covered the city walls with flags to show off their bluff.
Sure enough, Yan Tianfeng was startled when he saw this large fleet, thinking that reinforcements from the Qing army had arrived.
He was very angry and asked the generals, "Why were the Tatars not discovered until they arrived at the gate of Longxi City? What did the navy stationed at Zhenhaiwei and the land army stationed at Beixi do for food?"
Sungui, the Marquis of Dinghai, hurriedly defended: "The last general was ordered to garrison Zhenhaiwei, and he sent sentry boats to patrol every day, and found that the Tatar navy stationed in Jinxia was still in Jinxia."
If it’s not the naval force, it’s the Tatar land force. Yan Tianfeng stared at Liyang Prince Jincai who was stationed in Beixi.
Wang Jincai trembled with fright, "General, I have been guarding Beixi with all my heart, but I haven't found any trace of the Tatar army at all!"
This is strange, how did the Tatar army army reach the gate of Longxi City without telling the eyes and ears of our army?
Yan Tianfeng was puzzled.
Dong Fangce, the uncle of Xuanping, suddenly slapped his thigh: "Commander, I finally understand that the Tatar army must have sneaked to the lower reaches, secretly crossed Beixi at night, collected ships in Haicheng County, and took the Xixi waterway.
Come to aid Longxi".
Yan Tianfeng thought for a moment, "Well, that's the only way to explain it."
Although he believed that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, Yan Tianfeng still sent Baoxing Boluo Chengyao with 10,000 troops as an outpost to test the strength of the Qing army.
Seeing that the Ming army sent troops to fight, Zu Zeyuan in the city also risked his life, leaving only a few soldiers and civilians to guard the city, and also led an army of 10,000 to meet the enemy.
An outpost battle could involve tens of thousands of people, which made Yan Tianfeng even more convinced that there were at least 40,000 enemies in the city. Looking at the city wall again, there were flags everywhere on the city wall, and it was obvious that there were many defenders.
Yan Tianfeng is a veteran, he is fifty-three this year. As a veteran, naturally he should be more conservative in combat. Before destroying the enemy, he should first protect himself.
He ordered deep trenches to be dug, high barriers to be built, and the camp's fortifications to be repaired. Three days later, the camp was built to be impregnable, and reinforcements from the Qing army really arrived.
Niu Hulu and Chen Tai led 35,000 land troops and appeared on the other side of Beixi. The Qing navy was also active and showed signs of rushing to Longxi.
"Wonderful victory!"
Seeing the flag of the Qing army appearing along the Beixi River from a distance, the defenders on Longxi City burst into cheers.
Zu Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief, divided the army into three groups, took turns to go up the city wall, and ordered the people to be recruited to help defend the city, and prepared various defensive equipment.
In Longxi City, several city gates that were originally blocked have also been cleared, and they are ready to leave the city to receive reinforcements at any time.
Seeing the flag of the Qing army appearing on the other side of Beixi River, Yan Tianfeng knew that he had fallen into Zu Zeyuan's trick, so he was not angry at all. Instead, he sincerely praised: "Zu Zeyuan deserves to be born in Liaodong generals, he is a true general!"
”
Fighting is like playing chess. People who are good at chess are most afraid that their opponents will be bad chess pieces, which will be boring.
"Zu Zeyuan, I will remember you. We will fight over you in the future!"
The ancestor's Xixi Bu suspected soldiers,
Yan Hou’s plan is full of praise.
Don’t laugh and take a slow step,
I will be blessed in the future, Hongying.
