Chapter Eighty-Six: Just in Case

A few days later, Shi asked about the current situation of the emperor's father, Yue Ling, and the secretary only said: "For the time being, I don't have the will to die, but I am getting more and more depressed, and I can still argue with us. ”

"Juzi, humiliating him like this, aren't you afraid that he will commit suicide?"

Shi shook his head, thinking back to everything he had dealt with the imperial father Yue Ling over the years, and said indifferently: "He is not a person who values righteousness and recklessness, but he deceived himself when he knew that he was powerless, but he didn't want to deceive and even believed himself." ”

"I don't want a person who has deceived himself to believe that he is for the so-called righteousness of the world, and he will be sent to the judgment seat."

While he was talking, he was informed that Six Fingers was coming.

After coming in, he sat down, and with six fingers in high spirits, he asked the secretary to bring over the map and asked: "At yesterday's meeting, you supported the plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters just in case, but you also put forward a lot of opinions. ”

The discussion will continue the day after tomorrow, and you will share your opinions. ”

The two of them met early, but they were not commensurate with Mr. and disciple, but when they said angry, they still had a bit of the taste of Mr. and disciple.

The General Staff yesterday gave a battle plan just in case, that is, how to fight this battle well in case Wei Chuhan decided to send troops.

Now everything that should be done has been done, but there is no guarantee that Wei Chu and Han Qi's side will definitely do what Si Shang's side conceived or forced.

This kind of large-scale strategy is no longer a tactic, and now that Six Fingers is the commander of the legion, when thinking about some issues, he can already stand on a higher ground to see.

The strategic concept made by the General Staff is basically a pocket formation, and it is a pincer offensive that stretches for hundreds of miles to advance by retreating.

In the past, when Liuzhi was a brigade commander and division commander, he only had to think about tactics, but now he has to think more about strategy.

He understood what he wanted to ask, and he knew what he should answer, so he said, "On the whole, I am supportive." ”

"If Wei Chuhan splits and attacks, then we can naturally deal with it calmly, and the shadow left by the battle against Qi back then, it is unlikely that they will choose to divide and attack."

"If Wei, Chu and Han join forces, then the direction of attack can only be ......"

Stretched out his finger, clicked on the direction of Suishui and Danshui on the map, and said: "It can only be that the princes join forces in the direction of Daliang and advance along Danshui Suishui." ”

"The Song Kingdom is all plains, and only in this way can we support the baggage required for the decisive battle of the army."

"Based on what the countries know about us, if they really want to fight a big battle with us this time, they will need at least 100,000 soldiers together. 100,000 soldiers, nearly 200,000 logistics, and the mobilization of Wei, Chen Cai, Yongqiu, and the people of Hedong can be achieved. ”

"Even if you have the intention to send troops, it will take at least a year for the alliance to intrigue and mobilize the peasants and soldiers to prepare. This is the time of year when we can be well prepared. ”

"In terms of governance, we can quickly complete the land reform in the Song Dynasty, so that the people can benefit and their hearts will be towards us."

"Militarily, while they are preparing, we are also preparing, and the state of Chu does not dare to go all out, because our boat division is stronger than the Chu people, and the state of Chu must take a defensive position in the generation of the Yangtze River in Huaishui."

"In the direction of Heze, we have built a lot of fortresses, and it is too far away from Chu, the logistics are not easy, and once the attack is unfavorable for us to counterattack Chen Cai, the Chu State will not allow the main attack direction to be the line of Heze and Taoqiu."

"For all kinds of reasons, the direction of attack they can choose can and can only be along Suishui and Danshui, seize Shangqiu and Sanglin, and gradually approach Peiyi and Pengcheng."

This point is not only the idea of the six fingers, but also the idea of the General Staff, and it is also the unanimous view of the upper echelons of the Mo family, under the premise that all kinds of complex situations and the princes cannot work together, there will be no joint troops in one place to hand over the back to others.

Under logistical pressure, it is the safest way to advance eastward along Suishui and Danshui.

Divide the troops and march together, not to mention the fear that Sishang will use the advantage of mobility to break each other, that is, if Chu, Wei, Han and Qi hinder each other, it will be a ghost, and the friendly army will not move like a mountain, this is the normal state of the alliance of princes.

Six fingers once again pointed to the direction west of Shangqiu and Peiyi: "The meaning of the staff is that we will stick to Dangshan and Fuli on the southern front; The northern line adheres to the line of Heze Taoyi. ”

"The alliance of the princes is dispatched, and the cost is huge, and we must seek a quick victory, otherwise there will be a great famine next year. We took advantage of this mentality, abandoned the rich Shangqiu line, and induced the alliance of princes to break into the east of Shan Fu. ”

"One is that the cities of the Song Kingdom cannot be defended, and the other is that resisting is only increasing casualties, which is meaningless."

His hand swiped slightly on the line of Heze, Shan Father, and Dangshan, and said: "The princes seem to be pushing the line flat, but in fact they have fallen into our trap of retreating into advance. ”

"The main force of the princes' coalition army advances to the single father, then we only need to jump the main force to the northern line, and go straight to Huangchi and Daliang along the Jishui, using the time gained in exchange for space, as well as our marching advantage, as long as the troops reach Daliang, then the princes will retreat."

"First, Huangchi and Jiyangdu, which are the supply areas of South Korea and Wei, are broken in both places, and the logistics are insufficient."

"Second, if the princes join forces, Daliang will be the place where the princes' logistics are allocated, Daliang City was built by us back then, and it is extremely easy to break, as long as the Daliang is captured and the chasm is cut, then the entire logistics of the princes will be cut off by us."

"At that time, they must withdraw their troops, because they know our siege methods, and they also know the fact that Dangshan was breached in a few days.

"That's what the General Staff means, that's pretty much it. Retreat as advance, create opportunities for both wings......"

Shi nodded, glanced at Shi with six fingers, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But...... But I think they're too conservative. In this way, in fact, the countries will withdraw their troops, and they can only be defeated by a small defeat, and they will not be hurt by their muscles and bones. ”

"Since there is going to be a battle sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of this battle and completely break their backbones."

glanced at Shi carefully, saw that Shi still smiled, and motioned for him to continue.

Six fingers said: "Drag and take risks." The single father's plan left us too much buffer, and the alliance of the princes is not deep enough, and the battle line is not wide enough......"

"We can continue to retreat, relying on Peiyi, Peize, and Rosang to organize defenses and lure the enemy deeper into a hundred miles."

"At that time, it will not be easy to force them to retreat, but to use our logistics supply on the inner line; The mobilization is more efficient and the advantage of our conscription system, from the side and the flank, directly attack the single father, gather the main force, and besiege the princes' coalition army between the single father, Dangshan, Xiao, Peiyi, and Fang He. ”

"At that time, the princes' armies will be in turmoil, ambush on all sides, and the Central Plains will be settled in a battle."

"If the alliance of the princes is overthrown, the Central Plains will no longer have the strength to stop us, connect Zheng State, and take Henan directly, including the southwest of Qi. Return Zheng to the city invaded by Wei and Han, help Zheng as a puppet vassal, and ally Qin to take the opportunity to seize the West River. ”

"In this way, the overall situation of the Central Plains can be determined."

This strategy is bound to be risky, and it is even riskier than the plan drawn up by the General Staff to force the countries to withdraw their troops and win a small victory and reconciliation.

However, once it succeeds, it is indeed as the Six Fingers said, and the Central Plains will be decided in a war.

Shi asked, "According to your plan, how many people do we need?" ”

Six Fingers already had a strategy, and replied: "Peiyi Pengcheng is our inner line, and it is connected by waterway supply, and the logistics are enough to ensure it." ”

"Fully conscripted, fully mobilized, we can mobilize a total of 100,000 soldiers, and then we can be warlike."

"Five years ago, we got Jucheng and Yishan, the Qi army will not dare to send the whole army to deal with Wei Chuhan, it is necessary to leave heavy troops in case we rush straight to Linzi from the Yishan Great Wall, and the direction of Jucheng only needs the strength of two divisions to cooperate with the people, which is enough to deter the Qi people."

"Close to Peiyi Peize, we can defend the city according to Ze, the people are mobilized, although there are many princes and coalition troops, but the battle line is stretched, to prevent our flank counterattack, in fact, there are only 60,000 people who can attack the city."

"When the enemy army is tired, my Shuai Peiyi army will go straight to Shan Father and cut off Danshui, and the princes' army will be a turtle in the urn. Once they want to retreat, the giant will personally lead the army to pursue behind, and they must recapture the single father, in order to retreat, but I defend the city, with their siege ability, it is difficult to break the city. ”

"Once the city cannot be broken in one go, the army's spirit will be broken, and they will definitely flee south across the Danshui, and our army will pursue, and they will flee to Shangqiu to rely on."

"Once you enter the city, it's a dead end. Because there are no reinforcements from outside, the morale of the army has collapsed, and the people of Shangqiu are waiting for us. ”

"If you don't enter Shangqiu, the rout army will be frightened, and you can't assemble and fight again, but you have to enter the city to regroup."

"Once the city is broken, just like Wu Qi's beam back then, Wei Chuhan will be frightened, and there will be no troops available, so he can only do a good job of defense, in case our army is like a bamboo, and it will reach Luoyi."

"Our army contacted the Zheng people, and the main force went north, and the people of southwest Qi turned their hearts to us, and they took southwest Qi directly, and then they negotiated peace. At that time, Wei Chuhan must sell all of them to protect himself. ”

"Wei is in this big defeat, and the West River will be lost; On the occasion of this great defeat of Han, the Zheng people will definitely be able to capture several cities of Han. In this way, the three Jin are weak, as long as we are willing, we can also come to Luoyi to watch the weight of the peak. ”

"Although Zhao is strong, Gao Liu Yunzhong can also protect himself. Qin Linxi River, then South Zheng worry-free. Wei Hanqi was completely abolished by us, like the meat of a chopping board, and we can cut it as we want in the future. ”

"The Chu people are defeated, and the contradictions in the country that have accumulated due to the reform of the law will inevitably erupt, and the Chu country will be chaotic. Huaishui is in our hands, and the Chu people will no longer have the strength to go north. ”

After the six fingers finished speaking, he said with a smile: "As long as they send troops, they must march in this direction." Because I have calculated, even if the princes work together, unite as one, and work together to solve us in one fell swoop, it will require at least more than 800,000 soldiers and heavy farmers to be possible. ”

"Step by step, steady and steady, everywhere has the power of self-preservation, along the six directions of Ju, Heze, Danshui, Suishui, Fuli, Huaishui, it is possible to complete the battle. However...... Can the princes of all countries raise such an army? Can the logistics of so many troops be assembled for a year? ”

"In the six directions, as long as there are fewer people and mistakes in any direction, we will take advantage of the marching advantage of the inner line and the support of the people, as long as one place is broken, they will still be defeated."

"Besides, if we really gather so many troops, we don't need to fight, we only need to delay, and within a year, the princes' country will inevitably collapse and starve to death."

"On the contrary, we took the initiative to attack, but it was more troublesome and difficult."

"The giant doesn't want to fight now, but something happened to the Song Kingdom, but the giant immediately chose to send troops, is this the reason? We will have to prepare for a few more years to take the initiative to fight them, but if they lose their hearts and go crazy to fight us, the first battle of the Song Kingdom may shake the Central Plains. ”

"If the troops don't fight at the border, the logistics will drag them to death, because it's useless if there is less tun, and if you don't say anything, you will have to send 100,000."

"Sending troops into the Song Dynasty, as long as we don't choose to fight a decisive battle in the field on the border, retreat and lure the enemy to drag the battle line, and seize the opportunity to outflank the two wings, we can completely change the situation in the Central Plains and collapse Wei and Han."
