"Haha! Interesting, really interesting! As my sworn brother, the reason why he is so erratic in his military use is so unpredictable. Ye Luxiongji was tricked by him this time. I don't know if he is already angry now.
He raised his beard. But then again, wouldn’t my sworn brother be afraid of Yelu Xiongji’s revenge for doing this? With the current strength of the Han Kingdom, it is not qualified to challenge Daliao head-on."
Wei Mingxiao, the leader of the Great Xia Kingdom, leaned on his chair and laughed loudly after hearing what the messenger told the Han army to support the Liao army.
"Your Majesty, how come this Han Zhongwang is still your Majesty's adopted brother? How come I have never heard of him?"
Sitting in the first position to the left of Wei Mingxiao was an old general wearing armor. This man was about fifty years old. His hair was gray and his face was wrinkled, but he was in good spirits. This man was
In the Zhu Kingdom of the Great Xia Dynasty, Chen Tiaoxian, the general of the army, was the father of Chen Ziyu, who lived in the Taiyuan Prefecture and was destined to live in the world of immortals.
Wei Mingxiao smiled and said: "Think about it, it was seven years ago. Old General, do you still remember that I used your name to pretend to be a merchant and visited Han and Zhou to inspect people's livelihood and military affairs seven years ago?"
Chen Tiaoxia thought for a while and smiled: "I remember, your Majesty left for three months. When the country was about to be established, your Majesty went to the Zhou Kingdom by himself, and you had to take more than a dozen veterans with him."
An army of ten thousand people was massing on the border of Zhou Dynasty. Guo Wei, the founding emperor of Zhou Dynasty, thought we were going to attack, so he was so frightened that he deployed no less than two hundred thousand troops on the border."
"Haha, yes, yes, it was that time. I only took a dozen guards and pretended to be traders selling fur goods. I happened to meet Liu Ling, the loyal king of the Han Dynasty, who was the commander of the Fuyuan Army at the time in Yuzhou of the Han Dynasty. The two of us
We fell in love as soon as we met, we tied grass and burned incense, and we became sworn brothers of the opposite sex, and I still use your name."
"No wonder, I am still wondering why the envoy from Han Dynasty, Zhou Yangong, came to the old minister's home last time with the letter written by King Zhong of Han Dynasty. Last time I mentioned it to His Majesty, Your Majesty just laughed and didn't answer.
, now I finally understand what is going on. I have been wondering for a long time, Liu Ling and I are strangers, so why did I ask for help? The letter is sincere, and every line is full of longing for His Majesty.
Love, after reading a letter, it doesn’t look like it’s artificial.”
Chen Tiaoxia smiled.
Wei Mingxiao said: "My sworn brother is worthy of the title of heavenly talent. If he is willing to serve as a general in Daxia, I will not grant him the title of a great general who can control the country."
The generals in the military staff all have pale faces and are second-grade generals who govern the country. No one in Daxia has had this honor until now. Even though he has led the army for decades, the old general Chen Tiaoxian, who was deeply trusted by the late emperor,
, he is only a second-grade general who suppresses the army. How talented is Liu Ling, and how can he be so valued by His Majesty?
"Hmph... He's just a person who only knows how to use tricks. Why does Your Majesty admire him so much?"
Sitting below Chen Touxian is General Li Hunu of the Weifu Army of Daxia Heishan. He has made great contributions to the founding of Daxia. Although he is already a general who leads an army, his rank is only a regular one.
The third-grade Shangduhu is still several levels below the top-level official positions of generals such as the second-grade Zhenguo General. Li Hunu has always been arrogant. During the war against the Western Region countries at the beginning of the founding of Xixia, this person
Leading an army that has never failed in a battle, it is inevitable that he is arrogant and arrogant. Even the old general Chen Touxian does not look down on him, let alone a loyal king of the Han Dynasty who is basically an outsider?
Hearing that Wei Mingxiao spoke highly of Liu Ling, Li Hunu pouted and muttered.
"Trick? The nearly 200,000 troops of Liao and Zhou combined are being manipulated by applause. If such a strategy is a trick, Hunu, can you tell me what is not a trick?"
Wei Mingxiao wanted to use Liu Ling to stimulate the over-the-top generals under his command. Since the war with Liao a few days ago, Daxia has won many battles, and these generals inevitably began to feel arrogant. Even the world-famous generals
The powerful Liao wolf cavalry were able to defeat and flee. Of course, they had the right to look down on the little Han country, which had no more than twelve states, no more than two million people, and no more than a hundred thousand soldiers. As for what kind of war?
In their eyes, the invincible King Zhong of Han was just a mediocre general who had never seen big events and only knew how to make small troubles. Wei Mingxiao mentioned Liu Ling precisely to make these proud generals under his command
Realizing what it means that there are mountains beyond the mountains, when Li Hunu was the first to speak sarcastically about Liu Ling, Wei Mingxiao naturally had something to say waiting for him, but he didn't say it out loud at this time.
Li Hunu stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, when the two armies are fighting, it is a fair and open decisive battle. What depends on the bravery of the general. The soldiers are not afraid of death and win with all their strength. The method of the loyal king of Han Dynasty is just a heresy.
, it’s just a small advantage to use it on the battlefield.”
Wei Mingxiao frowned and glanced at Chen Touxian. Chen Touxian understood the idea and stood up and said to Li Hunu: "The Shangdu protector's words are wrong. Soldiers are also deceitful. So they can show their inability.
Use it to show it is not used, show it when it is near and show it is far away, show it when it is far away and show it is close. Use it to lure it, take it out of chaos, prepare it when it is strong, avoid it when you are strong, scratch it when you are angry, be humble and arrogant, and lose it.
Work hard, get close to them and leave them. Attack them unprepared and take them by surprise. The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed down first."
"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: All warfighters rely on perfect combination and surprise to win. Therefore, those who are good at surprising surprises are as endless as the heaven and the earth, and as endless as the sea. The end and the beginning are like the sun and the moon. Death and rebirth are like the four seasons.
There are no more than five sounds, and the changes of the five sounds are indescribable. There are no more than five colors, and the boundaries of the five colors are indescribable. There are no more than five tastes, and the changes of the five flavors are indescribable. The war is nothing more than the strange and correct changes, and the strange and correct changes.
There is no limit to victory. Strange wins and triumphs arise from each other, just like the endless cycle. Who can be poor?"
"When using troops to fight, you must always treat the enemy with integrity and win with surprise. Those who are good at winning by surprise will have endless changes in tactics like the universe and all things in the world, and as endless as the water of the river. When leading troops in battle, you should watch the sky.
, Only by knowing geography, understanding people, and taking advantage of all available conditions can we be invincible."
Li Hunu snorted and said: "Old General, I don't know what you are talking about about Sun Tzu's Art of War and Son's Art of War. I only know that even if it is as strong as the Liao Kingdom's Wolf Cavalry, it cannot stop the heroic charge of my men.
.As long as the three armies use their lives, no matter what plots and schemes they have, they just need to use their troops to cover up the enemy."
Wei Mingxiao snorted coldly and said, "Hu slave, do you really think you are invincible?"
Li Hunu bowed his head to the ground: "I don't dare, I know myself. I just can't figure out why both your majesty and the old general admire that loyal king of the Han Dynasty so much. I don't dare to say that I am invincible, but I am sure of it."
, if we fight with Liu Ling, we will definitely kill him from his horse!"
Wei Mingxiao sneered and said: "Okay, I always remember the several battles between the Zhou army and the Han army. Liu Ling always defeated the more with less. Now seven years have passed, I still applaud every time I think of his endless tricks. Praise. In this way, I will deduce the battle situation with you now. You will be the Zhou army, and I will command the Han army. You can use your method to kill the enemy, and I will use Liu Ling's method to fight. See if you can win the trick. !”
Wei Mingxiao ordered people to arrange the table and said: "Let's assume that in the 16th year of Qianyou of the Han Dynasty, the Zhou army sent 80,000 troops to attack Yuzhou, and Liu Ling led 20,000 troops to fight that battle."
Soon, the guards piled up the corresponding terrain on the sand table based on the terrain near Yuzhou of Han State on the map, and then placed fist-sized wooden figures to represent the soldiers. The red wooden figures represented ten thousand horses, and the black ones represented the soldiers. One thousand, the white one represents five hundred.
Li Hunu was unconvinced and said: "If you can defeat 80,000 elite troops against 20,000 people, the leader of the Zhou army is really useless! Let's see how I attack, I will definitely make the Han army completely invincible." Keep."
Wei Mingxiao snorted and said: "The leader of the Zhou army at that time was Sun Xuandao, the marshal of the Zhou army. Under his command were General Han Geng of Wuwei on the left and General Meng Hu of Weiwei on the right. Have you forgotten the last time? Did you suffer a loss?"
Li Hunu was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned a little red. The last time Xixia sent troops to capture the three states of the Zhou Dynasty, it was Youweiwei General Meng Hu who led the troops to resist the Xixia army. Li Hunu underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and was killed Meng Hu led his army in an ambush and was caught off guard. If Li Hunu had not had many soldiers at that time, and if Li Hunu had not been brave enough to lead hundreds of soldiers back and forth to rescue him, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops under his command would have been defeated by the 5,000 Zhou army. He fled in embarrassment. Although the Xixia soldiers later counterattacked and repelled Meng Hu, Li Hunu actually suffered a loss in this battle. Although this was not a defeat, it still made Li Hunu worried.
Following Wei Mingxiao's instructions, the guards placed the puppets in the designated positions, and Wei Mingxiao and Li Hunu stood on opposite sides. Wei Mingxiao wanted to attack Li Hunu's arrogance, so he said to him: " No matter how you attack, I will only rely on Liu Ling's original strategy. If you win, I will reward you with a thousand households. If you lose, I will strip you of your general's armor and send you to the racecourse. Go graze!”
Li Hunu actually felt a little regretful when he heard that the Zhou generals commanding this battle turned out to be the famous Sun Xuandao, Han Geng, Meng Hu and others. It was just that he was stubborn and believed in his own ability, so He nodded vigorously and said: "As per your Majesty!"
The two people set up a formation. After Li Hunu observed the terrain and pathological layout, he began to take the lead in attacking. However, Wei Mingxiao didn't watch how he used his troops, and just followed Liu Ling's original deployment step by step. As the two people began to attack The puppets kept changing positions, and the situation became clearer and clearer.
In the end, no matter how Li Hunu attacked, he found that he did not dare to advance at all! Although Liu Ling's troops were few, each one was arranged in an extremely mysterious position. With the help of the terrain and the weather at the time, they actually The Zhou soldiers were blocked to death. The two sides were at a stalemate, and the Zhou army could not move forward.
At this time, Wei Mingxiao said: "At this time, because the road was difficult and the food and grass were running low, the Zhou army's morale was low and they could not advance after a long stalemate. Liu Ling only sent two thousand people with straw torches as suspects. To guard the camp, he led 10,000 people to go around behind the Zhou army, cut off the Zhou army's food route, and burned the Zhou army's food and grass. Eight thousand people were divided into four groups, and they brought many flags, drums and horns, pretending to be from the Han Dynasty. The reinforcements coming from all over the country are bluffing, the Zhou army is in chaos, and the soldiers are fleeing in large numbers, how do you deal with it?"
Li Hunu thought hard for a long time and sadly gave up.
Wei Mingxiao said: "There are tricks and tricks. If you can use tricks so well, who can stop me from the army of Daxia?" (To be continued)
