Guo Junzhen was only a member of the partial school, but he bluntly said that Li Laiheng's use of troops was "extremely inappropriate", which made him feel a little unhappy. After hearing his proposal, Li Laiheng objected and said: "What a joke! Yu Dazhong is
A local, how many years has he been running Pingfeng Village? How could he not know the paths in Pingfeng Village that can be used for roundabout attacks? If you play this trick in front of the indigenous village owner, isn't it like falling into a trap!"
Li Laiheng's rebuttal was reasonable. Not only Gao Yigong and Bai Wang nodded frequently, but also Li Hao and other cottage owners, who were more familiar with the geography of Xiong'er Mountain and local customs, also said so.
But Guo Junzhen remained oblivious. He was not affected by Li Laiheng's unkind tone at all, and he talked eloquently: "Guan Dui! As Guan Dui said, Yu Dazhong is familiar with the geography of Pingfeng Village and is familiar with all the things that can be used for it.
It is a trail for surprise attacks, so we are even more unexpected that we will seek a breakthrough from here. This is darkness under the light."
"Those who are good at riding will fall from their horses, those who are good at water will be drowned in the water, and those who are good at fighting will be killed, as it is said."
Li Laiheng and others had not yet answered, they were all thinking deeply about the meaning of Guo Junzhen's words. Fang Yiren was the first to react. He praised Guo Junzhen's plan for attacking the enemy unexpectedly, and said: "The ancients said, 'He who is good at water'
"Drowning in the water," Yu Dazhong was born as a miner and thought that the geography of Pingfengzhai was his biggest defensive weapon. I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that someone would seek a breakthrough from this most difficult point to break through!"
Li Laiheng glanced at Fang Yiren with slight dissatisfaction, and he immediately fell silent. Gao Yigong, Bai Wang, Li Hao, and Pu Xiang looked at each other. Everyone felt uneasy and felt Guo Junzhen's words.
He and Fang Yiren's explanation and analysis all make some sense. But they feel that this is too risky. Does Yu Dazhong really have such a blind spot in his thinking?
Everyone turned their attention to Li Laiheng, waiting for his decision.
Li Laiheng looked at Guo Junzhen's confident and determined face, and felt even more hesitant. Only then did he feel how much pressure the person in charge of decision-making had to bear!
Guo Junzhen could propose such a clever plan without any care, but he, Li Laiheng, was responsible for the lives of 500 people in the Little Tigers and 2,000 people in the coalition forces. Could he adopt such a clever plan without any care?
"this……"
Li Laiheng hesitated and bit his lip again. The previous dissatisfaction caused by Guo Junzhen's outspoken words had disappeared. At this time, his heart was full of pressure.
He looked at Guo Junzhen, stared at the young principal, and asked: "Guo Junzhen... do you really think that Yu Dazhong, one of the most powerful bandits in Henan, would make such a stupid mistake?"
?"
"Ha! In charge of the team, it is precisely because Yu Dazhong is a strong man that he has such negligence!" Guo Junzhen looked calm. He replied calmly and confidently, "There are only more than a thousand troops in Pingfeng Village.
, I have carefully observed the previous offensive and defensive operations, and all the soldiers in the camp should have been mobilized, and there are almost no emergency troops."
"Yu Dazhong was confident that no one would dare to do anything in front of him, so he used the alleys to make surprise attacks. This would make it more possible not to place guards on the alleys, but to move all the troops to the stronghold walls for defense!"
"Indeed, this is indeed possible...but we can't rely on one possibility." Li Laiheng was constantly weighing the value of various attack plans in his mind. He unconsciously crossed his fingers together, looking more and more worried.
Become anxious.
Yuan Shao was so resourceful that he couldn't defeat Cao Cao with ten times his troops. Li Laiheng was surprised in the past, but now that he was truly placed in the position of a superior, he felt the pressure of the words "he was very resourceful and never made a decision".
It is not difficult to come up with various strategies, but making the right choice among various strategies is the most difficult. Zhuge Liang can't use Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley strategy!
One of the most important qualities of a superior person is not the wisdom and strategy to think of ways to break the situation, but the decisiveness to choose the right path from many options.
But now, Li Laiheng is deeply troubled and worried about his lack of decision-making ability.
He was even thinking about how Li Zicheng would handle the situation in front of him? Li Laiheng's mind soon showed the face of Li Zicheng, who looked like an old farmer from northern Shaanxi. If it were Chuang Wang, according to his personality, maybe
You can make an immediate decision and adopt Guo Junzhen's strategy without hesitation.
Li Laiheng's heart was actually gradually leaning towards Guo Junzhen's plan, but his problem was that he was not able to make quick decisions like Li Zicheng.
What if Guo Junzhen’s plan fails?
The morale of the coalition forces may be severely damaged again, and the death squads sent to carry out the surprise attack may also suffer heavy casualties.
Who will bear this responsibility then?
If it were Li Zicheng, it goes without saying that Li Zicheng would definitely take the responsibility for the failure. But Li Laiheng's prestige has not yet been fully established, and he has not yet become a hero like Li Zicheng who will not be temporarily defeated in the hearts of the soldiers who broke into the camp.
A monument that failed and fell.
He could not bear the mistakes of his subordinates like Li Zicheng did.
From this perspective, Li Laiheng seemed to understand why Chongzhen often "passed the blame" to his subordinates and ministers. What Chongzhen lacked was the willingness and courage to take responsibility for the strategies of his subordinates.
Thinking of Chongzhen, Li Laiheng finally firmed up his thoughts. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. Li Laiheng had only one thought: He must not become a leader like Chongzhen who cannot take responsibility!
Everyone gathered around Li Laiheng, waiting for him to make the final decision. Li Hao couldn't help but persuade him: "Chief Li, this method does make some sense, but it is also very risky. In fact, we have attacked the stronghold several times before, and Li Chong
The fire level is only a few points short of crossing the village wall, why not try again? If it doesn't work, you can also use this surprise attack method..."
Li Laiheng raised his right hand high and spread his fingers to stop Li Hao from continuing. He turned to Guo Junzhen, grabbed Guo Junzhen's right hand with both hands, and asked sincerely: "According to your opinion, if we want to make a surprise attack by chance,
,How many troops do you need!?"
Guo Junzhen snorted through his nose, a smile appeared on his lips, and he smiled at Li Laiheng and replied: "Please ask the team leader to let Leader Hao work with me, so that only fifty people can rob the village!"
"Fifty people!"
All the generals present took a breath, and Li Laiheng even exclaimed. He stretched out five fingers, looked at it himself and thought about it. After calming down, he also felt that a surprise attack on the road does not require a large number of people, and more importantly
The purpose is to create a situation where the walls of Pingfeng Village are penetrated and breached, and they are attacked from a flank, thereby disintegrating the morale of the defenders.
Li Laiheng knew that it was indeed possible to complete the surprise attack mission with fifty men, but he felt that if he was responsible for this mission, he might ask for one or two hundred troops to be more reliable.
He looked at Guo Junzhen's expression and saw Guo Junzhen's confident and confident look, and wondered if it was Guo Junzhen who was trying to reduce the pressure on his decision-making?
After all, even if a surprise attack team of fifty people fails, the loss of troops and the blow to morale will not be as huge as that of a team of one to two hundred people.
"Okay... Fifty people will be fifty people. I will wave the flag and act with you." Li Laiheng thought a lot in a very short period of time. He finally strengthened his final confidence in fighting and said, "Victory or defeat depends on one move.
We will also do our best to attack the wall in front of the city wall to contain and attract Dazhong’s attention, creating opportunities for you to fight!"
Guo Junzhen raised his chin slightly and replied with an extremely confident expression: "Guan Dui, I admire your military skills in Yiling. If you can win this trip and come back, can you listen to Guan Dui's detailed explanation?
What are your considerations when guarding Yiling?"
Li Laiheng was surprised. He didn't expect that Guo Junzhen would ask for a reward at this time, and it was not a reward of gold or silver. He just wanted an opportunity to discuss with him the tactical issues of defending Yiling?
There must be heroes among hundreds of people, and there must be heroes among ten thousand people. Talents are all in the humble youth. It just depends on whether you have enough decisiveness to use them!
Is there any minister in the world who will subjugate his country? There is only a subjugated king who cannot use people.
Li Laiheng felt ashamed. Only he knew that the reason why Yiling fought so beautifully in the defensive battle was not because he was a genius and used troops like a god. It was because he borrowed the wisdom of future generations and copied the tactics and strategies of several military geniuses of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
.
However, Li Laiheng still patted Guo Junzhen on the shoulder and said to him: "That's good! When the brothers come back after the victory, not only will I explain to you the tactics and strategies for using troops in Yiling, but you should also explain to the other brothers,
Please explain your tactics to defeat Pingfeng Village!"
At this moment, Li Laiheng came up with a new idea in his mind. The wisdom of the masses is infinite. Perhaps after this battle, a tradition of summarizing combat experience and tactical strategies should be established in the Little Tigers, imitating the Red Army, and establishing
Learn the system of war in war.
Guo Junzhen made a fist with his right hand and punched his chest twice, then took off the saber from his waist and strode out. His firm steps made Fang Yiren, a "reactionary scholar" who still despises thieves deep down in his heart, all shocked.
I couldn't help but admire: "A true tiger warrior!"
