Chapter 40: Young Tigers
Chapter 40: The Tiger
I feel quite content with this meeting. Not only do government affairs need to be studied, but military affairs should also be studied, and to give full play to everyone's strengths and brainstorm to come up with the best ideas.
The ridiculous veteran general Huang Zhong still only knows fighting and killing. On the battlefield in the late Three Kingdoms, a brave man can only die. When geniuses like Kong Ming and Sima appeared, and all kinds of military and warfare were used to the extreme by them, fighting was simply an art, which was the dazzling sparks generated by the collision of thoughts and thoughts, and the radiance of the varied colors.
Just as I was thinking, when I turned around, I saw Jiang Wei still standing next to me, with his eyes emitting a bright light.
I was startled and said unhappy: "Bojo, why haven't you left yet? Why are you so sarcastic at the meeting?"
"Young Master, we are in danger." Jiang Wei said coldly.
"What?!" I was frightened by Jiang Wei's words, "How could we have the advantage of our troops and our opponents are not strong, so how could we enter into something dangerous?"
Jiang Wei's Leng Dian glanced at me twice. In the past, when he first met me, he looked at me like this, and he looked down on me all. Later, he experienced a lot together. In addition, he grew older and became deeper, so he rarely had this expression. He respected me more, but today, why did he suddenly look at me like this again?
Jiang Wei said coldly: "Young Master, it is your thought of looking down on your opponent that has brought us into danger."
I looked at him blankly, as if I recalled his past few days, I always reminded me not to be too careless. At present, did he really find something wrong? Thinking of this, I decided to forgive him for his disrespect and said sincerely: "Bojo, you and I have been together since childhood, and the friendship is extraordinary. If there is anything wrong with me, you must tell me directly and I will correct it."
Seeing this, Jiang Wei calmed down and said, "Young Master, it's not Boyue who doesn't want to say it. It's because the young master led the army alone. His prestige was too great, and everything was big and small. He decided in one sentence, and Boyue would not get the opportunity."
"Do I have it?" I really don't like to listen to this. I have thought that I might not do well in many aspects, but I never expected him to say that I am too prestige and arbitrary. How is this possible for others to say that I am easy-going, and I respect everyone's opinions in many things. Even if I am leading the army for the first time, I shouldn't take away the shortcomings that others often make on me.
"I always ask everyone for opinions whenever I encounter problems. I often tour various camps and inquire about them. How can I say that my prestige is too strong and I can make a decision in one sentence?"
"Yes, the young master's actions are indeed the same as before when he sent troops this time. However, your attitude has changed. You often ask everyone's opinions, but you rarely listen to them. You often ask everyone's situation, but you seem to be perfunctory and perfunctory, far from the sincerity he used to sent troops this time. This time, the young master's eyes were full of confidence, which was something he had never seen before?"
"Is it wrong to be confident?"
"Confidence is right, but if you pass the confidence, you will be proud. A proud soldier will be defeated!"
"But, you all spoke freely at this meeting. How could you say that I brought everyone into danger?"
"Yes, the young master lets everyone speak freely, but before soliciting opinions, the young master had a conclusion, that is, to find a way to launch a surprise army, find ways to use strategies, and discuss how to attack the enemy. Therefore, soliciting opinions is just a formality. The war is dangerous and unpredictable, so how can we discuss it calmly and make plans?"
I said unhappy: "Then why don't you say it?"
Jiang Wei said: "Do you want me to tell me? What's more, the key to military operations is the secret. If the secret is lost, the army will lose its generals and the country will lose its king. How can we not observe it?"
I was so speechless that he said. I was really careless about sending troops this time? However, just by these few words, I would not be convinced.
"Young Master, you really think that the whole situation is within the control of the young master. General Wei Yan's defeat this time was just a moment of carelessness?" Jiang Wei pressed step by step.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not! There are masters in the enemy's army that have brought our army into a trap step by step, and we don't know it!" Jiang Wei's words fell into the sea like a huge rock, arousing huge waves in my heart.
"Everything must be based on facts and not speculate on one's own mistakes."
"Young Master, remember, you once talked to me about the strategy of Ma Meng's Liangzhou. He said that Cao's army had three disadvantages. One was the division of strength: Yong and Liangzhou. The population was only 30,000, and they were divided into ten thousand miles. They each guarded their city. There were not many in the city. The second was the heart: When Cao Cao died, the court said several more words, making all the generals easier to be the people of Qingzhou. People's minds changed and their combat power was greatly reduced. The third was the civil strife: the central army was all in the hands of Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhang, and Cao Pi could not use it for a while. However, at this time, at that time, at that time, at the young master, let's look at it," Jiang Wei pointed to the map on the wall, "Our army entered Yongliang, and almost no bloodshed. General Wei sent more than 20 cities in a row, which is considered an unparalleled merit. But how many were killed? How many were surrendered to the enemy?"
I took a breath of air conditioning, yes, I have always ignored this problem. If I have broken the city, where are the enemy troops?
Jiang Wei waved his arm heavily: "This is evidence. The absence of the enemy surrender and being killed can only show that the enemy was not defeated, but retreated voluntarily. They gave up the city to us and shrank the troops together. When we occupied the city, our strength was dispersed. The power of the force had changed hands!"
I could even feel the pupils in my eyes contracting: "Speak!"
"The second one is ambiguous. The death of Cao Cao and the rumors that the generals are more likely to shake the morale of the army. However, only a few generals need to force them to be solemn and lure them to benefit them, and then the hearts of the people can be determined. What's more, our army won consecutive victories and the enemy lost continuously. If they win, they will be arrogant. If they lose, they will be calm. If they are in a state of distant spirit, they will have changed their masters!"
I can't even say anything.
"The third civil strife: the Cao army's central army cannot move lightly because of Cao Zhangxiahou's affairs. However, since there are external troubles, the Cao family will be determined to go abroad, and Cao Pi will seize the opportunity to seize power. If 100,000 elite troops are only sent out 50,000, then Chang'an will be under great pressure. Although Mr. Kong Ming and the four generals are here, Chang'an will be safe, but if our army is defeated in the West, Yongliang's affairs will be deteriorated and cannot be done. At that time, there will be no other way except for retreating troops in Hanzhong. At that time, the children of Yizhou will be able to return home safely, and I wonder how many people will be there?"
Sweat drip down my forehead and into the clothes under my neck. In an instant, I was sweating so much.
If everything is indeed as Jiang Wei said, then I am not just underestimating the enemy, but a crime. If it is really a big defeat because of my reasons, then? What kind of face do I have to return to my hometown? I plotted against my father and Liu Shengzhi just to do better than them. If I really suffered such defeat, I would have the only way to go with my second uncle.
"What's more, besides the Three Auxiliary, Qiang and Hu live in a mixed manner, with speech impairment and people's hearts unstable," Jiang Wei continued to speak coldly and hard, "The young master's early propaganda could not play a role at this point, and the Han army had no political advantages. Although Cao Wei was a thief in the country, his heart was not revealed before. People regarded it as orthodox, and they had been operating Yongliang for several years, and had their own advantages in the land of the Qiang and Hu area. The people in the Qiang and Hu area were fierce, accustomed to fighting, and they were willing to commit suicide, and many famous generals were born. Our army attacked this place.
, it has the purpose of enriching the troops. Cao Wei has been in charge for several years, but how could we not know that if it conquers a large-scale army, we will face more than 30,000 enemy troops. From this we can see that General Ma was not lucky to arrive under the strong city, and General Wei was not accidental. It seems that the enemy was going to fight our army in the Hehuang area, so he led me to come. Seeing the enemy's siege against General Wei without attacking him, I am afraid that his real target is not General Wei, but Young Master, you!"
I looked at the map, my mind started at full speed, and finally kept up with Jiang Wei's speed: "In other words, the enemy has set up a pocket and is ready to ambush me? Yes, as long as I go out of the city to clear the siege of Jingchuan and land in the plains of the river valley, the enemy cavalry can give full play to their advantages. With intentional calculations and no intentions, our army will be defeated."
"Yes, Young Master, we just want to attack the enemy. In fact, the enemy has been calculating us a long time ago. Let's make a bold idea. The enemy trapped General Wei heavily, who was afraid that the miscellaneous army that was temporarily recruited would scare General Wei. The real main force was waiting for the arrival of the Young Master!"
I paced back and forth in the tent, holding my hands and spreading them open, my palms filled with sweat.
The weather has become hotter in May, making people almost unable to breathe.
Who is the enemy? Is it Su Ze? He has such powerful means? In the history I know, he was just an excellent prefect, a bold general, and a person with very sensitive judgment. During the rebellion of Xiliang, general Hao Zhao and others were ordered to cross the Yellow River west. However, he believed that the rebellion had begun, and the people were not attached to each other and had little power. The good people in the belt were still willing to look for Chaoyan, and they should use a thunder strike to pacify the enemy. Hao Zhao then sent troops with him, and indeed, in a very short time, he quelled the rebellion. However, he was not a fool.
Such a meticulous and meticulous person, when Cao Pi asked him, "Before he broke into Jiuquan, Zhangye, the Western Regions, and Dunhuang offered a large pearl in diameter, are you still found?" He said, "Your Majesty manages China well, and the reputation of kindness flows in the desert, so you can get it without asking for it; if you ask for it, what is it precious?" He became famous for his uprightness and dared to assassinate Cao Pi's mistakes, just like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, so he was not favored by Cao Pi. However, although this man was outstanding, he did not become famous by his strategy, but the enemy in front of him was enough to be comparable to his husband.
The enemy was not Su Ze, who was it? At this time, I had received news that the person who blocked Ma Chao's way in Xiangwu was the general Hao Zhao who was with Su Ze. In history, this person had stationed Chen Cang with a weak force during Mr. Kong Ming's second Northern Expedition. The enemy stayed with Mr. Chen Cang for more than a month, and finally made Mr. Wu return without success. Therefore, when I learned that he was blocking Ma Chao, I also knew that Ma Chao was blocked. But Hao Zhao was only a talent for one army and one city, and he was on the front line, so it was impossible for him to be dispatched in the middle.
So, who is the master in secret layout in front of you?
