Chapter 190: Soldiers, Sophistry

Li Hao took out a piece of paper from the bag and slowly unfolded it, only to see five words written on the paper: "Soldier, treacherous." ”

When Li Hao was in Nantuo Mountain, he was forced by Zhiyuan Zhenren to read a lot of military books, this sentence is from "Sun Tzu's Art of War", the full text is: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave. Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first. ”

If translated into the vernacular, it means that fighting a war with soldiers is a kaleidoscopic and unexpected technique, which requires the use of various methods to deceive the enemy. Therefore, they are able to fight well, but they pretend to be weak and incompetent to the enemy; was ready to use troops, but pretended not to be ready for war; To attack a target at a close distance, but to give the enemy the illusion of attacking a distant place; to attack a target at a distance, but to disguise it as an attack at a close distance; The enemy is greedy, so he lures him with small profits; When the enemy is confused, he takes advantage of the opportunity to attack him; If the enemy is strong, it is necessary to be cautious; If the enemy is strong, temporarily avoid its edge; The enemy, who is prone to impulsive anger, seeks to tease him and make him lose his mind; To a cautious enemy, we must do everything possible to pamper him and make him lose his vigilance; The enemy tried to harass him and make him tired; The enemy of internal unity must try to divide him and divide him. When the enemy is unprepared, launch a sudden attack and act when the enemy is not expecting it. All these are the secrets of the military family's victory, and they can only be used flexibly according to the situation, and they cannot be taught in a rigid manner in advance.

These original texts and translations were flipped in Li Hao's mind, becoming less and less, and finally after infinite changes, coupled with his own understanding, they became a sentence: play cards out of common sense. That's not what it means.

This is quite in line with Li Hao's description, he himself is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, Li Hao brewed for a long time, stuffed the bag and the note into his arms, suddenly turned around, and said in a deep voice: "Peng Hai, you go back quickly and let the five hundred right guards sleep well, and rob the camp tonight." ”

"What!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, although they had been following Li Hao for so long and had long been accustomed to Li Hao's absurd words and deeds, but when they suddenly heard him put forward such a crazy plan, everyone was still stunned.

Li Hao thought for a while, and said: "There are five hundred cavalry in the government soldiers, and Li Yuanzhong also led five hundred cavalry back to rest, and tonight to respond to Peng Hai and rob the camp together, remember, it is not easy to be exposed in separate ways, we only have so many cavalry, and there is only one chance." ”

Peng Hai and Li Yuanzhong's mouths opened and closed several times, and they couldn't speak, but Lu Yun whispered: "Young master, the enemy army has more than 10,000 people, send 1,000 people to rob the camp?" It's too risky. ”

"There is no war that does not take risks." Li Hao said slowly, "Although Gaochang came with 15,000 men and horses this time, but Gaochang's national strength is weak, and the military strength is not the same as that of my Datang, 15,000 soldiers and horses, if you fight head-on, my Datang 7,000 people can fight with it, and now their army is coming, and they are sleepy, and they will definitely sleep very dead at night, we can just attack it, this is a great opportunity." ”

Hearing this, Wang Yuantai asked: "If the enemy has something to do, then what should it be, wouldn't a thousand cavalry fall into the mouth of a tiger?" ”

Li Hao said lightly: "When I told me about the plan to rob the camp, were you shocked and thought it was incredible? ”

Everyone nodded.

"That's right." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "You think this plan is not feasible, and the enemy also thinks so, so he must be unprepared, what doubts do you have?" ”

After everyone looked at each other, they all shook their heads, and Peng Hai and Li Yuanzhong both arched their hands and said, "The last general will take the order!" Then they withdrew.

Li Hao continued: "All of you present are credible people, but in order to prevent the wall from having ears, lock the city gate strictly, and do not let a fly enter or exit, unless the official comes forward in person, otherwise let a pig and sheep go out privately, and they will not be spared!" ”

"Yes!"

In the evening, Li Hao climbed to the top of the city and saw through his telescope that the Gaochang army was camped twenty miles away and began to make food, and Li Hao also ordered a thousand cavalry to start eating, and began to prepare after eating.

At sunset, the sunset was like blood, Li Hao stood at the head of the city and looked at the sun that was about to sink into the West Mountain, and said to himself: "The one who can see the sun tomorrow is my thousand-blooded Tang Army or Gaochang Army?" ”

A cool breeze blew, raising Li Hao's clothes and hair, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then a cloak was put on Li Hao's body, Li Hao turned around, only to see Qin Su looking at him with a pair of bright autumn pupils.

Qin Su was looked directly at by him, and his pretty face was slightly red: "Childe, although it is spring, this cool breeze still can't blow, you have to pay attention to your body." ”

"Thank you, Su'er." Li Hao smiled slightly, gently pulled the cloak on his body, his eyes were far-reaching, he looked at the southeast, and asked leisurely, "You say...... Will we ever be able to make it back to Chang'an alive? ”

Qin Su was silent for a moment, and said stupidly: "Su'er doesn't know, Su'er only knows how to follow Gongzi, where Gongzi goes, Su'er will go, even if it is to die with Gongzi, Su'er is not afraid." ”

Li Hao's heart ached when he heard this, and he felt guilty when he thought that there were five young girls in his prime behind him who were accompanying him in danger, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Why are you so stupid." ”

Qin Su blinked his eyes when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "For the sake of the friendship of the Hu family brothers, Gongzi openly provoked the East Palace and was punished here, isn't Gongzi stupid?" ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then grinned bitterly: "Yes, we are all big fools." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help himself, and forcefully held Qin Su in his arms, his eyes were already red.

The night fell, the gate of Tingzhou opened silently, and a thousand cavalry rushed out, divided into two roads, one left and one right, ten miles apart, respectively to the south, on the left is the five hundred cavalry led by Li Yuanzhong, and on the right is the five hundred right guards led by Peng Hai.

After leaving the city, the two teams rushed all the way, and in a moment they traveled ten miles, slowed down, slowed down, and quietly approached the enemy camp.

At this moment, in the enemy camp, most of the soldiers have been asleep, only the lights are still on in the tooth tent, and there is a bronze armor general with a full face and beard sitting on the handsome seat, this is Zhang Lan, the commander-in-chief of the Gaochang march.

Sitting on the guest seat was a middle-aged man in a silk shirt, who turned out to be Cao Tian.

Cao Tian has been talking to Zhang Lan Taotao unconsciously about Li Hao, the assassin of Tingzhou, and said that Li Hao was heinous, which stinks worse than shit, but he also appropriately reminded Zhang Lan that Li Hao was cunning and scheming, and it was precisely because of Li Hao's tricks that he ended up like this.

After listening to Cao Tian's words, Zhang Lan rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly: "A teenage hairy boy, no matter how powerful he is, how capable he is, I'm afraid I haven't even seen human blood." ”

"Zhang Shuai, don't take it lightly." Cao Tian tactfully persuaded, "Although this Li Hao is only a teenager, he acts aggressively and ruthlessly, according to the news sent back by the spies, my wife and son have been poisoned by him, and our family has been destroyed by him." ”

"Brother Cao, don't worry." Zhang Shuai waved his hand and said, "Your big revenge, Ben Shuai will definitely help you avenge it, capture that Li Hao alive, and hand it over to you to dispose of." ”

"Thank you, Dashuai!" Cao Tian said excitedly, "Dashuai, now that there is a shortage of food and grass in their city, Dashuai, you only need to besiege the city for a few months, this city will not be attacked, and you will be able to capture it." ”

"That's great!" Zhang Lan laughed, took a sip of the wine bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "Actually, His Majesty the King is bound to win Tingzhou, but Ben Shuai is not very interested in this city, but Ben Shuai is very interested in the more than 400,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry you said." ”

Cao Tian smiled and said slowly: "Dashuai, the more than 400,000 gold, silver and jewelry is the villain's lifelong income, I didn't expect that once the matter was defeated, it came to naught, and it was cheaper Li Hao, Dashuai rest assured, the villain has never mentioned this matter to others, and when the marshal captures Tingzhou, the more than 400,000 gold, silver and jewelry will all belong to the adult, and the villain will not take a penny." ”

"Well, how can that work?" Zhang Lan pretended to wave his hand generously and said, "Brother Cao burned the grain and grass in Tingzhou and helped Ben Shuai a lot, how can you let you get nothing, so let's do it, when the time comes, Ben Shuai will only need 400,000, and the rest of the excess will belong to Brother Cao, how about it." ”

Cao Tian hurriedly pretended to be grateful and bowed down, and said: "The handsome and noble, the villain is grateful, and I am willing to serve the dogs and horses for the handsome man in this life!" ”

Just when Cao Tian and Zhang Lan were obsessed in the tooth tent, under the starry sky, two teams of men and horses were slowly approaching the camp, like a cheetah ready to attack, peeking at its prey, preparing to strike a fatal blow.

There were still three miles left from the enemy camp, and Peng Hai shouted in a deep voice: "Attack!" ”

Five hundred right guards suddenly rode their horses and galloped, shouting and rushing to the enemy camp, the message of the distance of three miles came, Gao Changjun was awakened from his sleep, and heard the shouts of killing outside, so frightened that they rushed out of the camp tent and fled in all directions, not even having time to put on clothes, let alone weapons and armor.

The right guards are like tigers entering the flock, killing people when they see them, setting fire everywhere, and the huge enemy camp is disturbed by them, and the fire is everywhere.

Cao Tian and Zhang Lan rushed out of the tent, seeing the enemy attacking, they were startled at first, Zhang Lan instinctively wanted to escape, Cao Tian hurriedly said: "Dashuai, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Tingzhou, and the enemy attack camp will definitely not exceed 2,000 people, Dashuai, at this moment, it is advisable to organize a large army, immediately counterattack, and will definitely be able to take down the enemy!" ”

Zhang Lan hesitated for a moment, then shouted an order: "General Ma, General Tian, General Zheng, quickly reorganize the army and counterattack the enemy!" ”

He shouted three times in a row, but no one paid attention to it, Gaochang is different from the Tang Dynasty, the military discipline is not strict, and in case of emergency, he will mess up, except for fifty or sixty personal guards at this moment, no one has come to protect him as the commander.

At this moment, another shouting came from another direction, only to see another large pair of men and horses rushing into the camp, it was the five hundred cavalry led by Li Yuanzhong, Li Yuanzhong led the five hundred cavalry straight to the tooth tent to kill, all the way unstoppable.

Zhang Lan was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Protect Ben Shuai!" Quickly protect Ben Shuai! "Shouting and retreating.

Dozens of guards hurriedly swarmed up to protect him, someone brought the horse, wanted to let him escape, Zhang Lan just turned over on the horse, suddenly was kicked down, he fell to the ground and screamed in pain, looked back, found that it was Cao Tian who snatched his own war horse, and suddenly became angry, pointing at Cao Tian and shouting: "Kill him, kill him for Ben Shuai!" ”
