Chapter 172: Han Ji Mengyong
Fried Flower Taiji looked at Bu Rihatu, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that although this person looked similar to himself, why did he have a strange feeling?
He may not know the meaning of "temperament", although Buzhhatu looks like a very ordinary Mongolian nobleman, he has read a lot of Han books, especially military books and war strategies, and he is even more familiar with them, so between his words and deeds, he must be contaminated with some Han scholars.
Han scholars are not shocked by the temperament, and there are some nice words, such as "the wind is light", "lifting weights is light", "leisurely walking", "Mount Tai collapses in front and the face does not change", etc., of course, if you let Gao Pragmatic, a senior actor, express it, it may be described in one sentence: pretending to be forced.
Han scholars are the best at pretending, which is a highly pragmatic conclusion. Obviously, while studying Sinology, in addition to the strategy of war writing, Buzhihatu also learned this skill by the way.
Therefore, when Tumen and Fried Flower asked him at the same time what his plan was, Buzhihatu stood with one hand, and waved Fang Yu with the other hand, pointing out the country: "The strategy of dividing the army in ten places is indeed effective, but it will indeed face unpredictable losses, more or less, although it is feasible, it is difficult to say the best policy." I thought that the so-called best strategy should be to obtain the greatest results at the lowest cost, so I thought of another strategy for the reference of the Great Khan and Taiji. ”
Of course, Tumen and fried flowers had nothing to say, and nodded again and again and asked him to come quickly.
Burihatu said: "This policy is also inspired by that high pragmatism......
Tumen and fried flowers couldn't help but be stunned, why are they still concerned about the person opposite?
But Burihatu didn't explain, but said: "The art of war has clouds, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual." The way to win or lose is often hidden between this reality and reality. ”
He pointed to the opposite side of the Liao River, and continued: "Now the situation in front of us is clear, the other party has a total of twenty or thirty gunboats, these gunboats have strong firepower and speed, and the eyesight of the people on the ship is also excellent. ”
Tumen hurriedly said that he was explaining to the stupid guy who fried flowers, which made him a little anxious, so he interrupted: "We all understand these truths, so you can directly say how to crack it." ”
Burihatu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then let's talk about cracking...... This method of cracking comes from the strategy of the Han people, called 'Ming Xiu plank road, secret crossing Chen Cang'. ”
Fried Flower Taiji was stunned and asked: "Why are you building the plank road, now it's crossing the river, if you want to repair it, you have to build the bridge?" Also, where is Chencang, which place is suitable for crossing the river? ”
The muscles of Buzhihatu's cheeks twitched, and he looked at the Tumen, who dodged their eyes for a moment, and coughed lightly: "This plank road and Chen Cang have nothing to do with us now, Buzhihatu is talking about the name of a strategy, and it happened when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting...... Right? ”
This "bar" word is obviously a lack of confidence, but he is actually not wrong, Buzhhatu expressed his understanding in his heart, it seems that after his own persuasion before, the Great Khan may have really read some books, although the reading is probably not deep, but it is finally an improvement.
Therefore, he nodded in affirmation with great satisfaction, and praised: "The Great Khan is erudite and admirable, this strategy does come from the period of Chu and Han rivalry, and I won't explain the meaning first, just how we are going to 'repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and cross the Chen Cang secretly' now." ”
Fried flower Taiji listened a little aggrieved, I don't understand the co-authorship?
He didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't bother to explain after listening to Buzhhatu, and he felt that Buzhihatu was looking down on him, so he was even more unhappy, so he just let out a deep "um" and stopped speaking.
Buzhihatu didn't notice that there was a difference in the mood of the fried flowers, and continued: "We can camp in a position where the Ming army's sailors can see but can't hit, and then send people to cut down trees and make it look like they want to build boats to cross the river to deceive the Ming army. In reality, however, most of the wood was not really used to build ships, but was made into dummies, dressed in clothes, and stood in the camp......"
Tumen suddenly understood this time, their eyes lit up, and they said: "Then, our main force quietly left, and found another place to cross the river and surprise the Ming army's water village?" ”
Burihatu applauded and laughed: "The Great Khan is wise, that's exactly what it is. ”
Tumen was a little fluttering by him, stroked his beard vigorously, and said with a smile: "Eh, each other, each other, this is what the Han people say about heroes." ”
Fried flowers watched coldly, but their thinking was much clearer, and they said in their hearts: Farts to each other, if it weren't for the idea of building the bridge in Buzhhatu, you would have seen it as a fart hero.
Of course, no matter how stupid he is, he won't say it.
At this time, Buzhhatu added: "However, although this plan is roughly the case, there are two points that need to be paid attention to. First, we must do a good job of camouflage, and we must ensure that the other party will be deceived, so the things of cutting down trees and building ships must be done as if they were real, and we must not let the other party see the flaws......"
"I have a question." Fried Hua said coldly at this time: "Isn't the shipbuilding to be by the river, now the Ming army is powerful, we don't even dare to approach the river, how can we build a ship?" ”
Tumen was also stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Yes, this seems to be a problem.
He turned his gaze to Burihatu.
But Buri Hatu shook his head and said: "Fried flower Taiji may have misunderstood, my so-called shipbuilding does not refer to the construction of a large ship like the Ming army sailors, but only a small boat that can carry more than one person and one horse, that is, the kind that is smaller than our raft." ”
Fried flowers smiled: "It's smaller than a raft, what's the use?" Is the Ming army on the other side willing to believe it? ”
As mentioned earlier, the Mongols carried skins with them on their expeditions, and after blowing, they could cross shallow waters, but when crossing deep waters, they needed to connect multiple skins together and lay wooden planks and other things to create rafts.
The largest of these rafts can cross more than ten people and ten horses at a time, which is not small, and it is relatively easy to disassemble. In contrast, the small boat proposed by Buzhhatu is probably equivalent to the small ferry boat of some ferry boats in the Han area, which can be carried by a few big men, and it is relatively simple to build, but the carrying capacity is very limited, and it does not seem to be of any use for birds.
But when Buzhhatu heard this question, he only smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "My Mongolian shipbuilding skills are not as good as the Ming people, no matter how they build a 'big ship', they will only be beaten, and the bigger the ship, the more convenient it is for them to use cannons." But small boats are different, just imagine, if the Ming army thinks that our army wants to go out with thousands of boats, but each one is just such a small boat, what is the use of their cannons? When the time comes, the battle will be chaotic, they will have guns, we will have bows, who will win and who will lose, who can go against the grain? Therefore, the big ship is useless, and the small boat can become a threat to the Ming army. ”
Tumen was overjoyed to hear this, and laughed: "Yes, yes, Ben Khan also thinks this is the truth." Well, if we don't fight like this, we may still suffer unnecessary losses, and Ben Khan can't wait to do so! ”
As long as the Ming army can feel that the small boat on their side will pose a serious threat to them, they will definitely focus their attention on the side of the camp, and when the time comes, according to the idea of the Buzhhatu guy, replace the real person with a wooden man, and the main force will be transferred elsewhere, as if it can really deceive the Ming army.
Seeing that the fried flowers no longer questioned, Buzhhatu continued: "The second thing to pay attention to is that we need to find a good location to cross the river first, and this place can neither be too far nor too close. If it is too far, it will be difficult to surprise the Ming army at the first time after crossing the river, which may give the other party time to strengthen the land defense of the water village; If it is too close, it may be discovered by the opponent's scout horse when crossing the river, causing the sailor to intercept and fail to cross the river. ”
When he heard this, he waved his hand: "This matter is easy to do, I have sent people to run up and down the neighborhood several times in the past few days, and the road has been familiar, and I will send someone to investigate and investigate later, and choose the most suitable place to cross the river!" ”
Tumen nodded and said: "It's okay, Ben Khan's department has just arrived, and it is indeed better to do this than the person who fried you, so please ask Taiji to bother about this matter." ”
Fried Flower Taiji raised his chin slightly, and smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Great Khan and the warriors have a good rest, let's meet the Ming army in a few days!" ”
