Chapter 804: Xianggong's Affair

"This place is Peidi, the reason why we chose to fight here is mainly because once the Song army failed in the battle, his remnants could not escape from Surabaya and Danshui continuously, and the final outcome was to be exterminated by us between Si and Dan."

Lu Di and all the generals nodded when they heard this, the Qi army had a strong cavalry unit and a chariot army, and after the defeat of the Song army, facing the endless plain, it was undoubtedly a fantasy to escape without being overtaken.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Sun Wu continued: "However, if the location of the battle is changed to the foot of Mangdang Mountain, then the situation will be different."

"Mangdang Mountain is less than fifty miles away from the Song Kingdom, belonging to the heart of the Song Kingdom, if there is a decisive battle, our army will have to go deep into the enemy's interior, in order to prevent the enemy from the rear three sides of the sneak attack, we will definitely divide the troops into three sides, as a warning, so that we will use a lot of troops in the war, this is the first plan of the Song army"

"The second plan of the Song army is to fight at Mangdang Mountain, once the Song army is defeated, the Song army can immediately return to the national capital with the support of the Suishui water army, and face the huge city surrounded by water on three sides, if our army wants to capture it, it will take at least two months."

"Two months is enough for the Song army, because our army destroyed the Song Dynasty, it has already spread all over the world, and the princes who want to come to the world will definitely use this to attack our army, and the most likely thing is to re-form the princes' anti-Qi front in the name of the Son of Heaven and drive millions of troops to attack our Qi country."

Hearing Sun Wu say that the princes' anti-Qi alliance would drive millions of troops, all the generals gasped. They now understand why their own king had prepared 600,000 troops before the war, and they were waiting here.

Everyone sighed with emotion in their hearts, and their ears continued to listen carefully to Sun Wu's explanation.

"Of course, the vassal states are not fools, they will not start a war before the Song and Qi wars, because they want to borrow the hands of the Song people to pinn down the main force of our army here, and they are good at driving troops and encircling our army on three sides."

"And the people of the Song Kingdom saw this, so they were willing to take the initiative to be this nail"

When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized that the Song State wanted to use the power of the princes to resist themselves, and the princes wanted to use the power of the Song State to restrain themselves, and then encircle themselves, which was a situation for their mutual benefit.

Dry, a raccoon dog!

The armies will be angry.

"General, since this is the case, let's just advance directly with the army, step by step, take the land of the Song State one by one, and finally attack the capital of the Song State" Zi Yuanjie, one of the four fierce generals, put forward his own suggestion.

Zi Yuanjie's suggestion was supported by many generals, and although it would take longer, it was the safest method.

Lu Di also nodded, but Sun Wu smiled and said: "Although this method is safe, but if you destroy the Song Dynasty like this, our army will take at least two years, generals, are you at least patient?" ”

"This?"

Two years? Just kidding, if you fight for two years, the 100,000 troops of the second column are here, and there are so many fruits after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, it will hurt people to come to the first column, and you have to come to the second one? Of course not.

"Then divide the troops into ten places, one place 10,000, such a sweep, isn't it fast?" A general suggested.

Sun Wudao: "Divide the troops, and our army will be in danger of being surrounded and killed by the Song army."

When these generals heard this, they remembered the battle of Zheng Guo that year, and they were silent.

After all, compared with the Wei State, the fierceness of the Song State is not bad, and what is even more terrifying is that the Song State has too many troops than the Wei State.

If he divides his own troops, and the Song army ambushes him with ten times his own troops, then even if he escapes by chance, he will suffer heavy losses, which is not advisable.

Seeing that Sun Wu at the head of the group seemed to have a plan, Lu Di smiled and said, "The general should tell me your strategy, otherwise our generals will secretly scold my mother?" Haha......"

The generals of the army will all blush when they hear their own king say this.

Sun Wu smiled and nodded: "This plan is also simple, the king can order Chen Yin, the county guard of Yingchuan County, to lead 10,000 troops, and attack the Song capital during the battle between our army and the Song army."

When Lu Di heard Sun Wu's words, his eyes immediately found the location of the ghost lu on the sand table, and when he saw that a hundred miles east of the ghost lu was Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Kingdom, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" ”

100,000 Qi troops crossed Surabaya and Danshui, and within a day they came to the place of the battle, the west of Mengzhu Ze, the only mountain system in the eastern Henan Plain, and the foot of Mangdang Mountain.

Lu Di looked at the legendary "Sacred Mountain" covered by the primeval forest and sighed a lot, he sighed not the legend that happened here in that time and space, but the lamentation that when the two countries of Chen and Cai were divided, Song Jinggong said that he would dig a grave for himself here.

The words are still in my ears, but Song Jinggong has already turned into dry bones.

Lu Di did not climb Mangdang Mountain, the reason is that there are many rivers here, and because it is summer, big snakes and pythons can be seen everywhere in the mountains, which is too dangerous.

Just worshiped Song Xigong from afar, and went to see the old Confucius in the rain shelter of Mangdang Mountain, and then returned to the camp to prepare for the next battle.

The summer rain came and went quickly, and the Song and Qi armies finally discussed the time of the decisive battle.

In the early morning of the next day, the fiery red morning sun slowly rose from Mangdang Mountain.

The 300,000 Song army and the 100,000 Qi army were in position, and a great battle in the Central Plains was about to begin.

The Song State is a good-looking country, and it has walked the etiquette that all the great powers should have in wartime hundreds of years ago, and the picture is that Lu Di was stunned for a while.

However, Lu Di also understands why the descendants are always black in the region and the Black Song Kingdom, which is too conservative and inflexible, right?

Not only was Lu Di stunned, but all the 100,000 Qi troops were a little dumbfounded, and then burst into laughter.

The 300,000 Song troops faced the ridicule of the 100,000 Qi troops, but they did not have a trace of anger, and they were still immersed in the rituals passed down to them by their ancestors.

Zi Yuanjie couldn't stand it, and said to Lu Di: "King, taking advantage of the Song army's stupid behavior, why don't you attack now?" ”

Lu Di heard Zi Yuanjie's suggestion, his heart was pounding, indeed, the Song army is now kneeling on the ground one by one to pray, it is a good time for them to attack, but he is a little worried, after all, if he takes advantage of the other party's war ritual to attack it and defeat the other party, will the Song people obey?

Lu Di didn't want to destroy the Song Kingdom, and the Song people were unwilling because of their "danger of taking advantage of others" during the war.

"General, this?" Lu Di hoped that Sun Wu would give a decision.

Sun Wudao: "Does the king know about Song Xianggong?" ”

Lu Di nodded, Song Xianggong is the twentieth monarch of the Song State, some history books say that he is one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his name is the same as the previous monarchs of the Song State, and he has the tradition of taking non-Chinese names, and his name is Zifu.

This monarch was ridiculed by later generations for thousands of years, because he adhered to the stupid tactical policy of benevolence and righteousness during the Battle of Hongshui, which led to the great defeat of the Song army, and the Song state withdrew from the first-class national stage.

However, contrary to others, Lu Di admired this Song Xianggong very much and thought that he was a real gentleman.

Lu Di once had a dream, in which Song Xianggong cried angrily, raised his arms and pointed angrily, scolding and ridiculing the world that had laughed at him for thousands of years:

"A gentleman does not hunt down wounded enemies, nor does he capture old men with gray hair. In ancient times, the principle of using troops was not to rely on the dangerous terrain to stop the enemy. Don't you know? ”

"You know, but you are selfish, selfish and pretend not to know"

"It's also: now that the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and you who are selfish have always thought that you are only right to do things that are beneficial to yourself, otherwise you are stupid, ignorant, and foolish!"

"You are shameless, you don't follow the morality of righteousness, but I can't fall with you, muddy, I have my stubbornness!"

"I'd rather be the king of the fallen country of the Song Kingdom, the object of the scolding and cursing of this living scholar, rather than violating benevolence and morality!"

"So don't use your selfishness to negate my righteousness, for you are not worthy, you who step on horses!"
