Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang, Chapter 913: That man appears!
"Divination?"
When Zhang Dun was invited to Songjiang's tent, he looked at the fortune tellers and smiled calmly.
"I know Zhang Gong doesn't believe in this kind of method, but I can guarantee that this omen of great misfortune will not be let go without warning!"
Song Jiang said a little eagerly.
Due to the warning of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the Heavenly Book cannot be passed on to other mortals except Tianjixing. Li Kui and others, including Li Kui, did not know that this person had won the favor of the Xuannv and actually passed down a precious volume of the Heavenly Book.
Such treatment is unparalleled. Song Jiang's only regret is that he is very slow in learning the Book of Heaven and cannot understand the Taoism on it. Xuannv's class is the only one that he can use. Although he is not absolutely sure, it is
Tell the prime minister immediately.
Zhang Dun also admitted: "I know that there are heretical people in this world who have all kinds of strange Taoist spells..."
At this point, he paused and looked at Song Jiang's dark and short appearance. It was very inconsistent with the temperament of a Taoist master, but people should not be judged by their appearance. Then he said: "The 'Xuan Nu Class' that Gongming just mentioned may have some meaning.
It’s mysterious, but in terms of results alone, it has no effect!”
Song Jiang was startled: "Why?"
Zhang Dun said matter-of-factly: "This trip is inherently a big disaster, and there is no need for divination. It is also a big disaster!"
Song Jiang was even more incomprehensible: "But the alliance between Fang Thief and Yang Thief is indeed a big threat to the west of Beijing. Due to Ming Zunjiao's vicious plan, we did not negotiate a peace and alliance, but carried out a tacit military cooperation. This is not enough
Does it pose a threat to the Yan army?"
Zhang Dun said: "Of course it can pose a threat, but it will be more difficult for us! Our goal is not to seize a few states and counties, which will have no effect on the overall situation. Only by taking Bianliang directly and recapturing the capital can we revive the Song Dynasty.
The royal court is majestic!”
"But this is too difficult. How do we get to Bianliang City? How do we break through the city quickly? I have no idea. I can only have a chance by asking two old generals to act according to the situation, or even burn the boat!"
"It's no surprise if we fail. If we win, it will be the protection of heaven, and destiny will still bless Zhao Song Guozuo..."
Zhang Dun obviously also needs someone to talk to. There are some things he won't say to Ke Shi and Zhong Shidao. This is not because he is deliberately deceiving, nor because he is afraid that the other party will defect, but because he does not want to affect morale. He has no scruples about Song Jiang: "
Even the worst thing is that if the Yan army deliberately designs to lead us into an ambush, it will be doomed!
Song Jiang trembled: "Is this possible?"
Zhang Dun said: "Judging from what King Yan did, he definitely dared to take risks in order to speed up the unification. It is quite strange that Fang La was able to attack Luoyang City so quickly..."
Song Jiang was now a general who had just mastered military affairs, but he felt that it was completely reasonable: "According to what the general thought, the Yan army had fewer soldiers, not many defenders in important areas, and Fang La was marching fast, so the Yan army did not expect that this person was not captured.
Xiangyang, dare to go north with all your might, and when you find out, you can only retreat, so that Fang La's army can be overwhelming all the way. You must know that Luoyang is an important place, and this is not what you should do to lure the enemy deep!"
Zhang Dun said: "It's easier to ask the gods than to give them away, and let one hundred thousand enemy troops go deep into the hinterland. If this is a plan, it is undoubtedly audacious..."
"If Fang La is not the leader of the rebel army, and he has a good reputation and comforts the people, he will cause great harm to the place..."
"So Fang La must have believed it. I'm afraid he is attacking Luoyang now. He is also expecting our army to attack Bianliang to share the pressure on his flanks, but he doesn't know that a disaster is coming!"
Song Jiang said in a trembling voice: "On the surface, Yan Ting only has 100,000 elite army troops and 30,000 elite navy troops. Is there still a few elite troops hidden secretly, just waiting for this moment?"
Zhang Dun frowned: "It is difficult to completely hide an elite army. Once leaked, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it may also be used by the enemy..."
"Okay, no need to guess. I don't know how King Yan plans to defeat the two armies, but Yan Ting's national power is already very strong. Since ancient times, no rebel has such a unique advantage. Even if they are defeated, they will not hurt their muscles.
Moving your bones only reduces your invincible edge, but you can still regain your strength and fight back with an army!"
"And if we win, the process of unifying the world will be greatly shortened. Originally, Yan Ting pacified the north, and then sent his troops to the south. All forces would really have to deploy heavy defenses, and the Yan army would also be devastated. If we were defeated in this battle, Fang La would lose hundreds of thousands of elites.
In the west of Beijing, 50,000 Western troops died in the capital, what obstacles are there to the unification of the world?"
fantuankanshu
Song Jiang's face turned pale.
This prime minister was both civil and military, and made great achievements in the military. He pacified Hubei internally, opened up the southwest, subdued the Meishan barbarians, unified the inland separatist regimes, defeated Xixia externally, and conquered Xisiluo. He was famous for his reputation.
Because of this, when the Song Dynasty wanted to question Zhang Dun, the Liao Emperor said that this was the right thing to do. However, such remarks were cited by the imperial censor as a reason to attack Zhang Dun. Look, all the brotherly countries in the north thought so...
…
If others analyze it in this way, it will increase the morale of others and destroy one's own prestige. This husband said so. It is definitely not self-destruction, but the fact is so cruel: "Since this trip is full of crises, why does Mr. Zhang still do this?
"
Zhang Dun said without hesitation: "Because this is the last chance. Each formal alliance has its own agenda and cannot be trusted. However, in this military alliance, I, Song Ting, the Fang La bandit, and the Sichuan-Shu Yang bandit can fight against the Yan army together!"
"If you miss this opportunity to unite, you will only end up being defeated by each one. But as long as you win a big victory over the Yan army, everything will be different. The reputation of the imperial court is deteriorating, precisely because of successive military defeats!"
Song Jiang nodded involuntarily: "Yes, since the invasion of the Liao Kingdom, our Song Dynasty has never won a single battle. The best opportunity was wasted because the officials negotiated a peace with the Liao Army... If we can
Win once, especially against Yan Jun, everything will be different!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is said that war is a continuation of politics, and war serves politics. In fact, the outcome of war is often more important than political games.
If you win a battle, all the mistakes in political decision-making can be overcome. If you lose a battle, then no matter how wonderful the political aspect is, nothing can be said about it.
So Zhang Dun looked at the hexagram made of folded grass, and said calmly: "Although I don't know how to divination, I also know that the number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine times forty. The magician's method of divination is to use fifty when making divination."
Stems, the way to calculate numbers is to eliminate one of them."
"In the hexagrams, there is no absolute bad luck. Good luck breeds bad omens, and bad luck also has a glimmer of hope, which is the one that escapes. Therefore, the more desperate the situation, the more important it is to grasp that glimmer of hope."
"Gongming, since you have decided to take this difficult road, you must remember that if you persevere, rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, gold and stone can be carved!"
Song Jiang was moved, took a deep breath, and bowed down: "Junior, let me teach you!"
…
"Something's wrong! The Yan army is luring the enemy deeper!"
Compared with Fang La's long march, which was filled with ecstasy, Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao marched less than a hundred miles, and just after conquering a pass, they were keenly aware that something was wrong.
However, the two of them looked at each other without wavering at all.
As generals of an army, they did not have the insight to control the overall situation like Zhang Dun, but they knew that this was "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, so they went to the tiger mountains."
If the Yan army deployed layers of defenses and defended it impregnably, then with 50,000 elite troops under its command, no matter how experienced they were in hundreds of battles, they would have no choice but to retreat in the end. Not to mention Bianjing, Shangqiu and the others would not be able to reach it.
But the Yan army deliberately opened the door and let them in. This military operation, which was almost impossible to complete, actually had a glimmer of hope.
Since ancient times, there have been examples of being clever and using tricks that ultimately proved self-defeating and helped the enemy. Zhe Ke Shi and Zhong Shi's military abilities gave them the confidence to seize the opportunity and turn defeat into victory.
The Western Army immediately began to adjust.
First, the march slowed down,
"If you strive for a profit of a hundred miles, you will capture three generals. If you strive for a profit of fifty miles, you will defeat the general. If you strive for a profit of thirty miles, you will capture two-thirds of the generals." Marching over long distances is a huge challenge for any army.
It was a test, knowing that the opponent was deceitful, and the Western Army would not make the mistake of being ambushed by the enemy waiting for work after a long-distance attack.
Secondly, be prepared at any time if the grain roads in the rear are blocked and difficult to open, so you must collect supplies from the people in various places.
Compared with Guan Sheng's wavering at that time, the most fundamental reason was that he was unwilling to take food from the people and violated the principles in his heart. However, Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao did not have this burden at all.
Any famous general on the battlefield must have a heart of stone. In their eyes, the soldiers under their command are just numbers. They need to abandon personal emotions with absolute calmness. Only in this way can more soldiers survive.
Compassion has always been a luxury on the battlefield, and kindness to the enemy is even more cruel to oneself. If Bianliang does not return to the embrace of the Song Dynasty, the people along the way will naturally become enemies.
Amid various detailed adjustments and preparations, the Western Army marched straight in, and it was as if they were entering uninhabited territory.
Just like Fang La who likes to win people's hearts, they will not torture the local people with the strictest military discipline if the food and grass are not cut off.
Finally, Bianliang City is in sight in the distance ahead, and two well-organized armies have been waiting for a long time!
Shi Wengong’s Ansu Army!
Luan Tingyu's Ninghua Army!
"On the surface, there are still 20,000 elites. Where are the secret ambush troops hidden?"
"Oh, the Yan army is arrogant and arrogant. They don't defend the city, but they actually take the initiative to fight with our Western army in the field?"
Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao looked at each other and could see each other's joy.
Ambushes are also not used casually. With their military abilities, they can make the opponent suffer the consequences.
And in a field battle, 50,000 versus 20,000, isn't the advantage...
But this joy just rose, and then it solidified between the eyebrows.
Because a tall horse with a fluffy mane and as powerful as a lion emerged from the army. There was a man sitting on it, with Hanji's gun pointing diagonally at the ground.
The large banner stands straight up from the back, fluttering in the wind.
