Soon, the entire garrison and sniper regiment were working in full swing, and Li Shuang'er was not idle either. In order to prove his worth, he brought a group of rough guys to get delicious food for them in various ways, including game in the mountains and game in the mountains.
There will be various wild fruits, which have a unique flavor in this wilderness.
Cheng Chumo was the one who received special care. Although he was always running around, he was never idle.
Military Chief: "General Cheng, this is the mountain spring water that Miss Shuang'er asked me to bring to the general. Miss Shuang'er said that the general must drink it all."
Cheng Chumo: "When a man does this kind of work, he has to drink water and share it with his brothers."
Chief of Military Affairs: "General Cheng, don't forget to eat some wild fruits after work. These are picked by Miss Shuang'er herself."
Cheng Chumo: "How can I be allowed to eat alone and share it with my brothers?"
Not long after, the chief of military affairs came over the mountain road again: "General Cheng, this is the soup that Miss Shuang'er made specially for the general. She said that it can no longer be shared with the brothers. The general must drink it all."
Cheng Chumo: "We haven't even passed the test yet, and it's all my fault?"
For a moment, the soldiers burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed throughout the mountains and forests.
While Qin Huaidao was leading people to open a road, he met several mountain people by chance. After asking them about the original name of this place called Yuecheng Mountain, he asked these people not to enter the mountain in the near future, and then continued to open a road in the mountain.
The way to open a road is also very simple. Just expand and widen the original road in the mountain, and use felled shrubs and wild branches to pave it, so that the cavalry can pass.
As for the food for so many people, he specifically asked the military chief to light a fire on the spot. What he wanted was the thick smoke billowing from Yuecheng Mountain to attract the enemy to come and investigate.
He also deliberately sent a team of sergeants to station at the foot of the mountain. Whenever anyone approached, he would drive them away in a bad temper: "Go away, go away. Your Majesty has important business here, and no idlers are allowed to come near."
In this way, the news finally reached Situ Xing's ears.
He quickly summoned Zhuge Yue and Shangguan Haonan to discuss the matter together.
After the two of them took their seats, he handed the newspaper to them respectively and said in a questioning tone: "What do you think of His Majesty's stationing at Yuecheng Mountain?"
Shangguan Haonan saluted Situ Xing, and then said: "Master Supervisor, when I fought with the emperor in Hangzhou, I found that the emperor was particularly good at controlling the rhythm of the battlefield. In my opinion, the reason why he settled on Yuecheng Mountain was for this purpose.
In order to lead the battlefield to a battlefield arranged by him that we are relatively unfamiliar with."
Hearing this, Situ Xing fell into thinking.
"Have you mastered the rhythm of the battlefield?" He looked at Zhuge Yue again. If he was in doubt, this counselor could often surprise him and give the correct answer: "Brother Zhuge, what do you think?"
Zhuge Yue did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked someone to bring the map of Yuezhou and lay it flat on the table. Then he expressed his thoughts.
"Master Situ, please see, the terrain of Yuezhou is flat. Even if there are mountains, there are not many mountains. Yuecheng Mountain is one of the few not high but relatively large mountains. It is only thirty miles away from Yuezhou City. Considering the security guard led by His Majesty,
Hundreds of troops, as well as an ambush army that never showed up."
"I estimate that this group of ambush troops could reach Yuezhou without being discovered. The number of them is only a thousand. Combined with the grenades and artillery and other equipment that His Majesty brought, and the deliberate exposure of their whereabouts, it is not difficult to see that His Majesty wants to fight a defensive battle.
A smaller number of people took advantage of the top of the mountain to hold on, and then used grenades and artillery to catch us off guard."
Shangguan Haonan suddenly realized.
"That's right, when we were in Hangzhou, the emperor used this trick to deal with us. He only used an official ship and the help of grenades and artillery to become invincible. Even though our numbers were exhausted, he didn't suffer any damage.
"
Shangguan Haonan became very angry when he thought of the defeat in Hangzhou. The Shangguan family was originally a famous and prestigious family, but they lost everything overnight.
Situ Xing also discovered the advantages of this strategy. By occupying the strategic location, he controlled the confrontation front within a smaller range so that the opponent could not take advantage of the numerical advantage. He could exchange time for space. If he could not formulate a targeted strategy, a strong attack would be difficult.
Very disadvantaged.
Seeing that Situ Xing was distressed, Zhuge Yue said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. Although your Majesty's strategy is exquisite, the mountains are always different from the water. There are natural flaws in implementing this strategy on the mountains."
He was overjoyed and looked at Zhuge Yue: "Brother Zhuge, do you have any clever ideas? Tell me quickly?"
Zhuge Yue did not explain clearly, but just asked: "Sir, do you still remember why Zhuge Liang killed Ma Di with tears in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Um?"
At the critical moment, why did Zhuge Yue mention this allusion?
Situ Xing thought about it carefully and suddenly discovered his purpose in mentioning this allusion.
In 228 AD, during the famous Three Kingdoms era, when Zhuge Liang launched the "Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, as soon as he left the Qishan Mountains" campaign, he sent his confidant general Ma Di to lead his army to resist Cao Wei's reinforcements in Jieting to protect his strategy.
can be implemented smoothly.
According to Zhuge Liang's plan, Ma Di was supposed to camp on the road to resist the Wei army. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the street pavilion, Ma Di relied on his knowledge of the art of war and did not follow Zhuge Liang's prior arrangements. He made his own decision to change the strategy of resisting the enemy, led the army to move out of the road, and climbed the mountain to defend.
Seeing this, the famous Wei general Zhang He seized the opportunity to cut off the water channel, turned against the enemy and surrounded Ma Di. Finally, he burned the mountain and destroyed the camp, causing Ma Di to be defeated. From then on, Zhuge Liang's carefully planned Northern Expedition was in vain and he had to retreat.
Return to Shu.
Isn’t the scene in the street pavilion exactly what His Majesty is doing at Yuecheng Mountain at this time?
"Haha, wonderful. Brother Zhuge is indeed the Zhuge Liang of the time. When His Majesty is completely stationed, we will surround Yue Cheng Mountain and burn Yue Cheng Mountain with fire. I am afraid that I will not even be able to recognize His Majesty's bones. Zhuge Yue, I
If a country is established, you will be an unparalleled national warrior!"
Zhuge Yue pretended to be modest: "No, no, Yue is just a man who has read many military books and used them in actual combat. Your Excellency is overly flattering, which makes Yue feel very ashamed."
"Over at Ma Toufeng, I'd like to ask Brother Zhuge to personally take command, just in case." After some exchanges, Situ Xing made up his mind. As long as Zhuge Yue takes action, this matter will be accomplished.
Zhuge Yue agreed immediately.
Such great achievements can be achieved with just one shot of fire, so why not do it?
Su Wuwei, on the other hand, went to Momen in person but was rejected. After reporting back to Situ Xing, Situ Xing felt that since Zhuge Yue had already made up his mind, it didn't matter whether Momen took action or not, so he stopped pursuing it and instead
Arranged the craftsmen in Yuezhou City to build a lot of 'ship armor' according to the drawings designed by Zhuge Yue for the sake of caution. As for whether they can be used, we will wait until the time comes. For such a big thing, you can't just have one trump card, right?
