The Book of War says: If you are ten, besiege it, if you are five, attack it, if it is doubled, fight it. If the enemy is divided, you can divide it. If you are few, you can run away. If you are weak, you can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong and the big enemy is captured. For example
To besiege an army of 500,000, an army of 5 million would be needed. Su Ren's remaining defenders at Yanmen Pass were less than 50,000. Although there were weapons from across the ages to coordinate defense, holding Yanmen Pass was not a big problem, but he had to attack Wuhuan and Xianbei.
The coalition forces were stretched thin.
Liu Che's ambition made Su Ren very uncomfortable. Su Ren had absolute confidence in defeating Wuhuan and the Xianbei people, but he did not have the ability to annihilate them. If Wuhuan and the Xianbei allied forces found themselves defeated and were still able to escape, Liu Che was in Youbeiping.
It becomes a check dam. If there is even the slightest problem, the dam will be destroyed and flooded. Furthermore, if others are okay, if Liu Che wants to build this check dam, then the problem will be very serious.
After arguing for three days and three nights, no one among the generals, captains, and captains came up with a feasible solution. Even Han Qing, who had a family background, and Su Ren, who was full of scheming, were all dumbfounded.
When dealing with the terrifying existence of the emperor, any tricks seemed to be of no use at all. No matter how bold the idea was, it could only be an idea. Everything must take the absolute safety of the emperor as the first priority.
"In my opinion, it is better to send someone to report the truth to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can follow the advice and return to Yanmen immediately, or at least lead the army to retreat to Fan Yang." Lei Fei couldn't stand the torture, and was the first to say: "There is an advantage to retreating to Fan Yang, even if
If you lose to yourself, you should be fine."
Liu Jian shook his head: "I have already said that your majesty will never agree to retreat. This time you come to the border area to prove yourself. Your majesty thinks that the Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces are not worth mentioning, so he went to Youbeiping just to defeat Wuhuan.
, Xianbei was completely wiped out."
Li Cheng looked at the sand table carefully and said: "What we are talking about now are the worst plans. According to our predictions, the Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces will escape, and they are determined to make a desperate move. I think if we take the initiative to attack Wuhuan,
The morale of the Xiongnu has been destroyed. Even if most of them can escape, they will still be frightened! Moreover, Your Majesty has 20,000 imperial guards and some border troops, so he may not be able to stop these guys, as long as..."
"You must not take risks!" Xie Baichuan quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty is a man of wealth, how can you be in danger? If your Majesty makes any mistake, we will all become the sinners of the Han Dynasty! No, the sinners of the world!"
"Then kill all these guys at Yanmen Pass!" Huo Qubing is still a school captain and is too young. His seat is at the end. At this time, he actually got to the front and stood next to Su Ren.
Su Ren kicked Huo Qubing in the butt: "Go away, you have no place to speak here!"
"No! The general called us to discuss something, but he didn't let us talk, so why discuss it?" Huo Qubing didn't hide, and received a solid kick. On the contrary, it was Su Ren's own kick that hurt his foot.
"Okay, okay, tell me, how can we solve them all?"
Huo Qubing glanced around and saw everyone looking at him. He puffed up his chest, deliberately coughed twice, smiled, raised his hands in a grabbing gesture: "Surround them!"
"Surrounded?" Lei Bei couldn't catch his breath and coughed again and again: "Wuhuan, Xianbei has 500,000, to be honest, it's more than 100,000! We only have 50,000 soldiers when we have a full attack, so we use 50,000 to go
Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people, you are really brave!"
Huo Qubing snorted coldly: "We don't need 50,000 people, 30,000 are enough! Look!"
Everyone was infected by Huo Qubing's arrogance and looked in the direction of Huo Qubing's finger. Huo Qubing was full of confidence: "Wuhuan, the Xianbei people's garrison is in Lushan. That mountain is facing our Yanmen Pass, and the terrain is higher. There is another mountain in front of us. There is a broken city in Mayi where you can stay, it is a good place where you can both attack and withstand."
Su Ren coughed and said, "Don't make excuses, focus on the key points."
Huo Qubing chuckled: "But please look around Lushan. To the south is our Yanmen, to the north is the Qike'er River, to the west is Yunzhong, and to the east is Sangqian. It is right between the Zhao Great Wall and the Qin Great Wall. You are here The two Great Walls intersect together, making it a good pocket. Only a small number of soldiers and our sharp firearms can defend the south, west and north. Only the east side, as long as we send a large army to Sanggan to tighten the pocket, what about Wuhuan and Xianbei? Not even a bird can escape!"
After Huo Qubing explained this, everyone looked carefully and saw something different from before. The things they saw in the previous few days were limited to the area around Yanmen Pass, but what Huo Qubing saw was a very huge one with a radius of hundreds of miles. Battlefield. Everyone was deep in thought, Huo Qubing was proud of himself.
Su Ren glanced at Huo Qubing, who quickly lowered his head and prepared to leave. Su Ren snorted: "Come here! Tell me, who taught you this?"
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "I thought of it myself."
"Again? If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you for deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors!"
"No, no, no, no, master, please calm down! I said, my uncle sent me a letter a few days ago, and he said a few words at the end, I, haha..."
"Wei Qing?"
Huo Qubing nodded repeatedly. Su Ren chuckled: "That's right! Get out!"
The two famous generals of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, are introduced very emphatically in the history books. One word can be used to describe the two famous generals in military affairs: Wei Qing is upright, and Huo Qubing is strange. Wei Qing pays attention to uprightness in fighting, and always faces the Xiongnu openly and openly. The soldiers will fight against the generals' battle formations, and these are very critical battles. Not only does the Huns, who claim to be fast, find no loopholes, but they can also put the Huns surrounded by their own army at every turn. And Huo Qubing likes it. The light cavalry advanced rapidly and galloped horizontally. Can a general who dared to lead eight hundred cavalry into the hinterland of the Huns be a strategically aware general?
To win on the basis of integrity and stability is to be handsome. To be handsome requires a very broad vision and mind, able to accommodate every army, every soldier, every mountain, river, and every rock on the battlefield. Only by surpassing everyone else Only with your vision and awareness can you clearly see the enemy's weaknesses, understand your own strengths, seize fleeting opportunities on the battlefield, and achieve your own fame.
Wei Qing's proposal is very good, and it is very suitable for the current situation of Yanmen Pass. If the young people of Wuhuan and Xianbei can really be trapped in a place with a radius of a hundred miles, let alone 500,000 people, even 5 million people, Calculated, there are only 10,000 people per square mile. As the area becomes larger, the opportunities for interspersion and division will increase. As long as you are not greedy for more and rush forward, one day you will be able to completely wipe out this army of 500,000 people on the vast grassland. .
Four generals are needed in four directions. There is no problem with the stable Li Cheng in the north. In order to prepare for the possible attack of the Huns, Su Ren placed Liu Jian behind Li Cheng and looked after each other. If the Xianbei people dare to go to Wuhuan, they can guarantee that they will hit the muzzle of the gun. Yanmen Pass is the old nest, and there must be no mistakes. Leaving the veteran Xie Baichuan in charge will naturally be no problem. If Xie Zichang is left to lead the firearms camp, who will go to battle, father and son? Not afraid either. As for the east, Su Ren felt that he should go, not because he wanted to risk his life to cheer up the soldiers, but because he felt that if Liu Che suddenly appeared, he could at least use his face and words to make Liu Che give up his plan to go into battle.
Huo Qubing was very unhappy. He had no share in the good suggestions he put forward, and he stayed by Su Ren's side all day long. Su Ren got tired of hearing this and an inkstone flew out. Huo Qubing dodged it, but he still refused to let go.
. Showing off his master's airs, Huo Qubing turned his nose to the face and accepted the punishment. The only requirement was to wait until the end of the war before executing him.
Han Qing shook his head helplessly and took Huo Qubing's arm to pull him out. Huo Qubing was very angry: "Mr. Han, why are you pulling me out? If I tell you more, the master might agree, so just let me in!"
Han Qing glanced at Huo Qubing: "Do you really want to go in? Okay, then if you go in, you will annoy your master, and all good things will be lost."
"A good thing? What a good thing? I know that Master will never treat me badly. Please tell me quickly, or you will worry me to death!"
Han Qing walked out and said: "Let me tell you, your master really loves you, and there is another great achievement waiting for you. Let me tell you..."
Huo Qubing left happily, laughing very loudly. No one seemed to think he was as powerful as him, and his chest could reach the sky. Su Ren shook his head and sighed, and said to Han Qing who had just come in: "This kid is still so impatient, he needs to be tempered."
His temper is such that we cannot let him do whatever he wants. If he continues like this, big trouble will happen in the future."
Han Qing smiled and said: "I'm just a child. I'm only seventeen years old. It's good to be ambitious."
"Child? When I was seventeen years old..." Su Ren suddenly remembered his previous life. When he was seventeen years old, he was just a useless person who had just finished high school and relied on his parents to support him. He didn't even dare to touch a chicken, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.
He quickly swallowed his words again.
Han Qing thought that Su Ren was unwilling to talk about his glorious history, so he laughed and said: "Who dares to compare with Mr.'s magic? I'm afraid he is the first person in history!"
Su Ren waved his hand in embarrassment: "Okay, you don't have to put money on my face anymore. How's the situation?"
Han Qing quickly put away his smile and said: "The army has already set off, 10,000 to the north, 5,000 to the west, and 10,000 to stay at Yanmen. We have 25,000 left in our hands. We will wait for the soldiers from all over Yangqu to come back.
We have about 35,000 soldiers, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Su Ren thought for a moment: "Okay, we will immediately send someone to report our plan to Your Majesty. It would be best if he can come to Sangqian. If he doesn't come, we will send another five thousand troops to make sure nothing is missed. In addition, Yanshan's
Is there any news about the matter?"
Han Qing laughed: "Master Mo's people have been able to cooperate skillfully and silently. In three days, the Goguryeo army was only allowed to advance less than thirty miles and suffered heavy losses. Even if they could come out of Yanshan alive,
There won’t be any danger, Zang Peng’s people are waiting outside to ensure that no one can escape!”
"Very good! This group of bastards wanted to cross Yanshan Mountain and tell Zang Peng that his people could not just stay outside, but also go deep into the country. They should learn mountain warfare first. When we attack Goguryeo in the future, he will be
