Since Duan Ye's army broke through Jincheng, he was surprised to find that dozens of large and small fortresses and cottages in front of him were all abandoned overnight.

If this is calculated, this military operation, which was expected to be troublesome, may not be long before it ends.

Duan Ye never believed that pie would fall from the sky, and he would definitely not agree that things would be so simple, so he immediately ordered the whole army to stop fighting and immediately set up camp at Hariburg, south of Nan'an City.

In the handsome tent, Duan Ye, Duan Ping and Cui Hao, Hu Kai did it around the fireplace. Although it was late March, the weather was still a little cold, and the lamb was still roasting on the iron shelf on the stove, and the slightest aroma was slowly overflowing, and it would be their lunch tonight.

Duan Ye sat cross-legged on the mat, with a small table in front of him, he gently buckled the table, and said: "Everyone, although we set up camp temporarily, we don't necessarily stay too early, mainly because of the actions of begging Guoren, I can't understand it, so I want to discuss it with you, the military situation is urgent, we need to make a decision by comparison!" ”

Cui Hao touched his chin and said, "My lord, Xiao Ke has something to say!" ”

"Hehehe, but it's okay to talk about it!" Duan Ye smiled: "Before, although the "Meeting Rules" I compiled were detailed, but in the army, they can be moderately relaxed, which is also the proper meaning of the topic!" ”

Cui Hao nodded and said: "My lord, that begging Guoren, he has no ambitions, he has a lot of ideas, I think this person is nothing more than trying to divide one side, when it comes to strength, as well as the situation of the mountains and rivers near the warrior river, if the monarch of the begging department is not mediocre, the strategy is not wrong, it is okay to keep the temporary separation, but if there are forces that are interested in dominating the world to attack with all their might, the warrior fort is not enough to defend, so that the beggar Guoren knows this, or raise troops, it can only be said that he still has other plans!" ”

Duan Ye nodded lightly after hearing this, and said, "Go on!" ”

"Hehehe!" Cui Hao smiled and said: "The dream of chasing the world, almost all people who have soldiers in their hands and territory will do it, after all, Qifu Guoren has been in Chang'an for so long, and the vision pattern is not the same as the past, in fact, my lord, this time, Qifu Guoren did not choose to entangle with our army city by city, in fact, it is very clever?" ”

Hu Kai was a little puzzled and said, "Xiao Cui, what do you say!" ”

Cui Hao raised his eyebrows, and saw that Duan Ye was also muttering, knowing that this explanation was not convincing enough, so he asked: "Brother Hu, I heard that you have actually read the book of soldiers, and now you are also leading soldiers to fight, you have some experience, Xiao Ke has a question, but I want to ask you!" ”

Hu Kai snorted and said, "What kind of reading military books!" It's just that when I was a child, I knew some skin, but Xiao Cui, you are so capable, so young, and you still raise my brother and me, what do you want to ask? Brother is just talking nonsense, don't laugh at your brother if you say something wrong! ”

"Where can this be?" Cui Hao waved his hand again and again, and then said: "Brother Hu, if you lead the army to assist the city, and I lead the army to attack you, my troops are slightly stronger than yours, and the morale is also very high, and if you have four major dangers to defend, it is almost impregnable to form horns with each other, but due to the careless entrustment of non-people, one of them has been taken by me, so that there is a hole in the defense line, and the weakening of the division of troops and garrisons is very likely to be conquered by me one by one, in this unfavorable situation, what should you do!" ”

Hu Kai thought for a while and said: "Xiao Cui, the situation you mentioned is of course not uncommon, this one, since I am the defender, and there has been a disadvantage, and there are loopholes in the defense line, then instead of being restrained step by step, it is better to break my fingers to survive, I think I will take the initiative to abandon other passes, gather troops in the most dangerous place, hold each other, and do the final decisive battle!" ”

Cui Hao didn't answer, but asked, "Brother Duan, what about you?" ”

Since there were more and more people under Duan Ye, Duan Ping gradually went behind the scenes, because he followed Duan Ye the earliest, had the earliest qualifications, and his ability was indeed very strong, and a large number of nephews had already joined the army, so in fact, Duan Ping had become the number two person in Duan Ye Group.

However, because of this, Duan Ping knows that he is low-key, because the number two person will always be easy to arouse suspicion. Although now, Duan Ping knows that he has received Duan Ye's absolute trust, and the relationship between the two is even better than that of brothers.

But no matter what, Duan Ye is the leader of this group, and he works for him, Duan Ping carefully considered himself and his subordinates, and found that his comprehensive strength is not as good as Duan Ye, he is convinced, his vision and pattern are not as good as Duan Ye, and he does not have the desire to go to the next level and replace him.

Now that he has thought it through, the way of being a minister is very important, and he doesn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Duan Ping looked at Duan Ye and saw that Duan Ye didn't speak, so he said, "Xiao Cui, if it were me, it would be the same as Xiao Hu's approach!" ”

"Hmm!" Cui Hao nodded and looked at Duan Ye again.

Duan Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your question stumped me, if it were me, I might choose another way!" ”

"What a way!"

Duan Ye smiled and said: "At first, it's almost the same as what you said, those three passes, but they can't be defended anymore, and if they are defended, they will definitely be broken by each one, but if it is me, since even the most dangerous places have been breached, then it is meaningless to defend it any longer, I will concentrate all my strength and go out of the city for a decisive battle!" ”

"Good!" Cui Hao praised: "The courage of the adults is really extraordinary, no wonder the adults are adults, but we have to serve under the command of the adults!" ”

Hearing these words in the ears of Duan Ping and Hu Kai, there is actually a little bit of a problem, a little taboo, because according to the saying of this era, the relationship between respect and inferiority is not something that can be joked, but Cui Hao is young after all, so Duan Ye doesn't care.

However, Duan Ye still said: "It's just that I'm adventurous by nature, if you talk about it hard, you still have to find a way to be reliable, after all, you still have to leave a way back, and you can do whatever you want, that is, you will die and die!" ”

Cui Hao nodded and said: "Exactly, but Xiao Ke wants to ask, my lord, two, the reason why this most dangerous level is difficult to attack is that you have a natural danger to defend, or ten thousand mountains cannot be climbed, or the huge waves are monstrous by the river, but if all of a sudden, this natural danger becomes a flat river, so what!" ”

Hu Kai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "You little ghost, what kind of mess is going on in your head!" ”

Cui Hao laughed and didn't say anything, in fact, there were often some innocuous quarrels between the two, and everyone was not surprised.

Despite this, the question still has to be answered, Hu Kai smiled bitterly: "Little ghost, what you are talking about is not the art of war, but like the art of immortal fighting?" Tsk, even Xiongguan is dangerous, you can be confused, how can you embarrass me, okay! If this is the case, then if I am in charge of the troops, of course I have no choice, if I gather troops in one place, it is just to concentrate the troops and wait for you to slaughter and poke, but it is better to divide the troops and delay a little longer! ”

Duan Ping also said: "That's right, as long as you can delay time, anything can happen, and maybe you can reverse the victory!" ”

This time, Lian Duan Ye also nodded in agreement, obviously, this is undoubtedly the best result.

Cui Hao said with a smile: "So my lord, everyone, this matter is actually a truth, if the begging Guoren is defending the city one by one, how many soldiers can he have, divide the troops to reject me, we will definitely be able to break through each of them, the matter of the boulder cannon, even if the beggar Guoren is not very clear, I am afraid he has heard of it, so he may not be able to defend the city, so it is better to concentrate on it, not to make senseless sacrifices, but to choose the last fight, a battle is decided, the current problem is that we have to figure it out, Does the beggar want to fight with us in the field? Or do you want to concentrate your forces on Fort Warriors and make a final stand? “

Duan Ye waved his hand and said: "Xiao Cui, what you said is very reasonable, however, this kind of thing is a war, the first strike, the second strike, this battle can't be fought according to his ideas, no matter what he thinks, he fights his, we fight ours!" ”

"Exactly!" Cui Hao said: "My lord, just rest assured, even if there are capable people around him, his ability must be limited, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now, and he was still wandering around in the small circle of Longyou, if half a month ago, he dared to break the cauldron and concentrate his forces to attack Chang'an, then the situation would suddenly open, but he did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to integrate forces in the war, but he was busy making a fuss with the Jiao family, who would have been loyal to him, and also attacked the Tuyuhun Division, it can be seen that this person still has only that weight after all, sir, Again, as in the above analogy, if there is one and only pass that makes them have illusions, we can show weakness to the enemy before this pass, and make them regard this as the only danger to be feared, and concentrate all the opposition forces on this point......"

"You mean!" Duan Ye seemed to have grasped some key.

"That's right!" Cui Hao said: "If they really concentrate their forces to the only barrier, other places, the forces must be scattered, at that time, the situation is reversed, our surprise army is attacked, and the danger of heaven becomes a smooth road, they can only be defeated, and they have no strength to resist!" ”

"And what if they don't take the bait?" Duan Ye then asked, after all, there is no room for such a thing as combat, and it is necessary to take all aspects into account and do all the cases well.

"My lord, don't worry, if the bait is fragrant enough, it is impossible for them not to take the bait, but if they don't take the bait, our fish hooks, you can go to them!" Cui Hao said with a meaningful smile.
