Han Dao world

"Thank you servant for calling."

-

Ding Chong returned to the imperial camp and reported the mission to Liu Xie.

After Liu Xie listened, he gave Ding Chong another high look.

Regardless of whether it was an expedient measure or a real understanding, Ding Chong was able to associate the meaning of the Yellow Turban Remnant to the Zhongxing Dahan from Gengzhan, and he was already ahead of most officials.

At least he was pragmatic, and he was furious when he didn't hear the word "Legalism".

"Can Yang Feng take on the heavy responsibility?"

"In terms of heart, there are [-]%; in terms of strength, up to [-]%." Ding Chong didn't think about it.

"What if I can catch the Flying Bear Army?"

"It's not enough for Your Majesty to hold back the Feixiong army, you have to hold back Guo Bang." Ding Chong explained: "If Yang Feng only attacked Li Shi and Hu Feng, Guo Bang might not care. If Yang Feng escorted a large number of It is absolutely impossible for Guo Si to remain indifferent to food."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

He neglected the temptation of grain to Guo Bang, thinking that Guo Bang might sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching Li Shi and Hu Feng make a fool of themselves.

"How about that?"

"Does Your Majesty know that two peaches kill three warriors?"

"know."

"Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Zhizi were unparalleled in courage and strength, but they were killed by Ertao because they were greedy for fame. Guo Si and Li Shi are all Xiliang peasants, and they are greedy for profit. Your Majesty may as well lure them to fight against themselves. "

"Incentives?" Liu Xie was a little overwhelmed.

What kind of advantage can make Guo Bang and Li Shi tear up their faces and fight in this situation?

Ding Chong waited for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you know why Guo Si and Li Jue came after them?"

Liu Xie suddenly came to his senses, staring straight at Ding Chong, his fingers eager to try, he really wanted to draw out the long knife at his waist and hack Ding Chong to death with one blow.

You are so cowardly, you actually want me to be the bait?

You the hell are Cao Cao's spies arranged by my side.

Ding Chong was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, if you work together, you will be strong, and if you divide, you will be weak. Guo Si and Li Shi each use cavalry to dominate, but there is mutual suspicion. This is the way to win. If your majesty can do better Taking advantage of it may not be impossible to win by surprise."

"Tell me carefully." Liu Xie urged, suppressing the urge to cut people down.

"Guo Si and Li Jue came here for His Majesty. Li Shi is the eldest son of Li Jue. Apart from coercing the court, he also has the heart of solid favor and succession. If you don't have desires, you will be strong. If you want too much, you will be chaotic. If your majesty moves the army in the camp, it is advisable. Guo Si and Li Shi must compete against each other. If the minister's estimate is not bad, Li Shi must win first, and Guo Si waits and sees."

As Ding Chong spoke, he dipped his finger in water and drew a picture of the situation on the case. "In this way, Li Shi blocked Guo Bang's view from spying on General Xingyi, preventing him from looking south."

Liu Xie suddenly realized, stared at Ding Chong twice, and said with a soft smile: "You must not be weak in chess."

Ding Chong was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty praises me, my chess strength... is not bad."

Chapter 71

Ding Chong's method is similar to playing chess, that is, the method of maneuvering, using Li style to block Guo Si's route.

There are no satellites or air force these days, and wars are basically two-dimensional, and scouts and rangers are all needed to inquire about the military situation.Once Li Shi occupied the position between Guo Bang and Nanshan, even if the distance was only more than ten miles, Guo Bang would have no way of knowing about Yang's gift of food.

It certainly doesn't help if they are of the same mind.

But they are suspicious of each other, so it is naturally impossible for them to communicate with each other, and the possibility of joining forces is even smaller.

The risk is not small, but the possibility of success is not small.

"Tell me carefully." Liu Xie fetched the map, hooked his fingers, and signaled Ding Chong to sit closer.

Ding Chong took two steps forward on his knees, leaned against the case, and almost met Liu Xie head-to-head, discussing details on the map.

The imperial court was so poor that Li Jue and Guo Si almost snatched up all the valuables, and they had to rely on Duan Yao for food, so naturally there was nothing for Li Jue and Guo Si to covet.

The only thing that can interest them is Liu Xie, the emperor.

No matter how many people in Guandong prefecture still value the imperial court, for these Xiliang people, the emperor is still a rare commodity to live in.

Liu Xie originally planned to lure Guo Bang with the weakest Dong Cheng and injure him severely. He never thought that Guo Bang might look fierce, but he was actually timid.

Ding Chong suggested to lure the enemy with the weaker northern and southern armies, and to use Liu Xie as a bait to make use of Guo Si and Li Shi's mentality of competing for success, so that they can check each other, save the victory in danger, and provide Yang with an opportunity to donate food.

But there is a problem here: in order for Guo Si and Li Shi to feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Northern and Southern Army's positions must be pushed forward, away from the condescending slopes, and set up on flat ground.

In the face of elite cavalry like the Feixiong Army, whether the Northern and Southern Army can withstand the impact is a question worth pondering.

If they were taken away by the flying bear army, it would be like losing the emperor and breaking the army.

Liu Xie could almost imagine how Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and others would react when they heard about this plan.

Ding Chong obviously wanted it too. After talking about the plan, he looked at Liu Xie anxiously, feeling uneasy.

Liu Xie tapped on the table, thought for a long time, and finally decided to go back to the imperial camp to discuss with Shi Sun Rui.

Whether this plan can be implemented depends on Shi Sun Rui's attitude, and whether it can be realized also depends on Shi Sun Rui's ability.

"You don't have to go." Liu Xie said to Ding Chong.

Ding Chong hesitated for a moment, then bowed to accept the order.

-

Shi Sunrui was still asleep, with his clothes on, his hands on the case, his face heavy.

A map was spread on the table, and on the map were terracotta warriors, small flags, and a bowl of cold vegetable soup.

Hearing footsteps at the door, Shi Sun Rui said without raising his head, "What's the matter?"

Liu Xie stood at the door for a while, and said, "Wei Wei should take care of his health for the country and pay attention to rest."

Shi Sun Rui was taken aback, looked up, got up quickly, came to Liu Xie, lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to worship.

Liu Xie stretched out his hands to support his elbow. "I came here abruptly, Wei Wei doesn't need to be polite, let's go straight to the point."

"Wei, please sit down, Your Majesty." Shi Sun Rui did not refuse, and invited Liu Xie to the main table, and sat opposite him. "Your Majesty came late at night, what is your order?"

Liu Xie glanced at the untouched vegetable soup on the table. "I'm a bit hungry, does Wei Wei have anything to eat?"

Only then did Shi Sunrui react, and he repeatedly agreed and ordered someone to bring some food.

The personal guard showed a look of embarrassment and stood still.

Seeing this, Shi Sunrui yelled: "What a waste of time, Your Majesty also ate barley in the general camp of Anji. Go!"

The personal guard looked at Liu Xie in surprise, picked up the vegetable soup on the case, and turned to go.

Shi Sunrui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are only barley rice and vegetable soup in the minister's camp. There are some wine and meat, and they are going to be reserved for rewards. There is no war yet, no preparations, and it will be too late."

Liu Xie smiled softly, "Wei Wei, is this asking for a fight?"

"Don't dare. Your Majesty has his own arrangements, and I will obey the edict." Shi Sunrui said it easily, but his eyes were a little enthusiastic.

As smart as he is, he naturally wouldn't believe that the emperor came to him in the middle of the night just to chat.

Liu Xie explained Ding Chong's plan, during which time the personal guards brought hot vegetable soup, and Liu Xie and Sun Rui shared half a bowl of soup.The warm vegetable soup entered the stomach, and the body also warmed up.

While thinking, Shi Sunrui held the bowl, scraped off the leftovers in the bowl with his fingers, and put it in his mouth, tasting it with gusto.

The personal guard was rubbing his hands anxiously, but he didn't dare to remind him.

Liu Xie didn't say anything.

From Shi Sun Rui's skilled movements, it can be seen that he has done a lot these days.

He can eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and taste the fragrance of vegetables. This is a person who can do great things.

After a long time, Shi Sunrui put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his licked clean fingers.

"Your Majesty, I take the liberty to ask, is this His Majesty's decision, or someone's suggestion?"

Liu Xie asked back, "Is there a difference?"

"There is a difference." Shi Sun Rui said indifferently: "If it is His Majesty's own decision, I have nothing to say. I will risk my life and take a gamble with Your Majesty. If you win, you will be a big man. If you lose, you will have no regrets." .”

"What if someone suggested it?"

"The official suggested beheading his head, so as to imitate others." Shi Sun Rui's eyes were sharp, and he said word by word: "Bewitching the emperor to perform tricks, this is the behavior of a gambler, not a minister."

Liu Xie nodded, noncommittal.

"Weiwei thinks it's feasible?"

"It's doable." Shi Sun Rui pushed the bowl away and took the map. "It's just that you have to be patient enough, step by step, and let Li Shi feel that victory is within reach, and the last blow is just a short of it. You can't rush to see success, but it will scare him away."

Liu Xie was a little surprised. With the strength of the Northern and Southern Army, how could they scare Li Shi away?

"Your Majesty, Li Jue and his son are from the north. The north is connected to the south of the desert. The people are more accustomed to Hu Feng. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will leave. They come and go like the wind. It is very different from Hanyang and Longxi. Even it is different from Wuwei and Jincheng..."

"Wait." Liu Xie interrupted Sun Rui. "What Wei Wei means is that the people from Liangzhou are also different from those from Hanyang and Longxi, but they are also different from those from Wuwei who border on the border?"

Shi Sunrui blinked his eyes, a little surprised. "Your Majesty thinks... the same?"

Liu Xie didn't say a word, but he wanted to scold his mother in his heart.

They are all from Liangzhou, so they are different?

Shi Sunrui laughed silently, then coughed twice, stroked his beard, and put away his smile.

"Your Majesty, Liangzhou is ten times larger than Guanzhong. It is inevitable that the customs and customs will be different. Beidi and Anding are mostly on the same level as Xianbei, while the four prefectures of Wuwei often communicate with the Western Regions, and Hanyang and Longxi are mostly connected with Qiangdi. , The Qiang and Hu encountered are different, and the folk customs are naturally different. As far as Li Jue and his son are concerned, it is a heavy cavalry assault. Once there is a chance, they will gather like a pack of wolves.

Shi Sunrui paused for a moment, and then said: "Now that the Feixiong Army's combat power is not as good as before, Li Shi must hesitate between fighting and not fighting. This is exactly what His Majesty said."

Chapter 72 Military Discussion

Liu Xie's face was a little hot.

It's what he said to Shi Sun Rui at the beginning, and now it has become Shi Sun Rui's guiding principle for dealing with Li Shi, but he didn't react, and his face was bewildered.

Sure enough, he is just a keyboard man, without a keyboard, he is a weak chicken.

"I would like to hear the details." Liu Xie said with a smile, calmly.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Shi Sunrui took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Xianbei people live as nomads and live by water and grass, so they are good at running. In the depths of the desert, they may appear or hide. First, they spy from a distance. Once there is a gap If you can ride, thousands of riders will arrive like the wind. Heavy riders step forward, light riders cover and kill behind, destroying the dead, like a river bursting its embankment..."

Shi Sunrui waved his big sleeves and made various gestures while talking, and when he was excited, his eyes shone brightly and his face was slightly red, as if he was not sitting opposite the emperor, but on the battlefield, frankly Thousands of horses are galloping, and when the mountains roar and the tsunami, they wipe out the enemy in the palm of their hands.Or raise your arms and call out, ten thousand crossbows are fired at once, killing the enemy in front of the battle.

"If you want to win the decisive battle with the enemy on the grassland, you must first ride tens of thousands of horses, wear fine armor, hold a hard crossbow and a big halberd, and pursue them relentlessly. Wherever the enemy comes, I will also go. Because we feed on the enemy, we use battle to support war die and live again.”

Shi Sun Rui retracted his outstretched palm and clenched his fist into his chest, as if he had captured the enemy army in his palm.

"This champion Hou broke the law of the Huns."

Liu Xie applauded and praised. "Wei Wei is so brave."

Shi Sunrui sighed. "It's a pity that today's big man is not as good as Emperor Xiaowu. From the time of Emperor Xiaohuan, he has fought Xianbei in countless battles. He has won a small victory and lost a lot. The so-called good generals are just guarding the border."

He waved his hand, feeling dispirited.

"Xianbei likes to use heavy cavalry to attack the formation, but the first of the heavy cavalry is sudden, which makes the enemy unprepared. The second is the momentum. Thousands of horses come on the ground, and the sound of hooves is rumbling. It is breathtaking, and the elite cannot hold themselves. But. If there is a flaw, the whole line will collapse and be trampled by the cavalry."

"However, heavy cavalry advances not only requires the cavalry to have fearless courage, but also requires keen judgment and decisive action. Iron cavalry rushes, and the opportunity is only in a flash. If you can't make a decisive decision, or miss the opportunity, or Surrounded by infantry."

While listening, Liu Xie demonstrated the scene of the cavalry assault in his mind, nodding frequently in agreement.

Although the drills in Dong Chengying these days were mainly infantry offense and defense, he also saw a lot of cavalry assaults.

It is difficult for those who have not experienced the pressure of the horses rushing head-on to understand.

Even if a few war horses are like this, he can roughly imagine how powerful hundreds of thousands of war horses charge.

But precisely because of the fast speed of the horse, whether it can catch the fighter in time and whether it has enough riding skills to control the horse to rush to the correct target has become a test of whether a knight is qualified.

If there is a slight mistake, it may be trampled into meat by the horse's hoof.

The same is true for cavaliers.

Not only must he ensure the unity of the people and horses, but he must also have a clear picture of the entire battlefield situation, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

If you don't enter when it's time to enter, you will miss the opportunity.

If you don't retreat when it's time to retreat, you will ruin your life.

Does Li Shi have such experience and ability?
