The imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, Chang'an Imperial Palace

The scorching summer sun shines on the magnificent palace, and the glazed tiles on the eaves of the palace shine brightly. In the ruling hall, Yuan Che was sitting on the dragon chair and listening to Xue Zhileng's report on the situation of the escort of military supplies.

Xue Zhi clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister lived up to his trust and safely received and transported back from Yinshui Peak for the military supplies of the 200,000 army. It contains 150,000 sets of weapons, shields, and 200,000 sets of armor and protective gear. ”

"General Xue has worked hard, is there any change on the way back and forth this escort?" Yuan Che asked with concern.

"This escort has plenty of soldiers and horses, and there is no change on the way, which is very smooth."

"This is not normal, the Liang people have not moved at all?" Dongfang Ji said suspiciously.

"Nope."

"Mr. Xu is Mr. Dongfang's plan is very successful, under the pretense of sending envoys to visit Daliang, let the poisonous prince secretly guide the royal family of Daliang, attach great importance to the sudden change in the situation in Yanbei, and then in the name of disposing of the criminal slaves, secretly detour to Yinshui Peak, and secretly transport the military supplies back safely."

Dongfang Ji disagreed, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, the situation in Yanbei has changed suddenly recently, and I am afraid that a new strategist has appeared around Yan Xun and is assisting him." From the large amount of conscription and food to the deployment of military intelligence, we must be well prepared for a big war. ”

At this time, a young man wearing a brocade robe and jade belt in the main hall said: "Your Majesty, the military department has received the latest information from the border pass, and recently Yanbei is more arrogant than before, and the prince of Song, who is guarding Meilin Pass, has sent a letter, saying that during this time, the first legion of the Yanbei Black Eagle Army is stationed outside Meilin Pass, and it is only twenty miles away from Meilin Pass. Every late at night, the enemy attacks are wanton, which is a headache and cannot be guarded against. General Zhao Ruihu cooperated with Prince Yuan Song and retreated from the enemy several times, but there were still considerable losses. ”

"Mr. Dongfang, what do you think about this?" Yuan Che turned his head to look at Dongfang Ji worriedly.

"This matter is quite strange, only a night attack but no army to press the border, the first army of Yanbei, but Yanbei's heavy troops, but what they do is not like what heavy soldiers should do. There must be some catch. Dongfang Ji frowned and said thoughtfully.

"According to what Mr. said, this Yan Xun seems to have a heavy army to Meilin Pass, but in fact he has another plan." Yuan Che looked at Dongfang Ji worriedly.

"It's still uncertain, now Yan Xun's soldiers and horses are hoarding, lest he make our defenders tired day and night by harassing Meilin Pass, so as to paralyze us, and then use the strategy of striking the east and west to achieve his ulterior purpose." Dongfang Ji said his thoughts worriedly.

Yuan Che, who was sitting on the dragon chair, felt bad in his heart after hearing Dongfang Ji's speculation, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring a map of the city of Biansai.

The ministers standing in the court began to talk in whispers. The young man who claimed to be from the military department in the hall just now bowed forward again and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Dongfang. Based on what Mr. just said, Weichen Zhao Xi'an has some different views. ”

Yuan Che heard that Zhao Xi'an, the young man who heard the voice, had a different opinion, and couldn't help but look up at him, wanting to hear it with interest.

"What do you think differently, let's hear it."

"The minister thinks that Yanbei seems to be fierce this time, but the real thing is to explore the distribution of our army's forces in Meilin Pass. The Black Eagle Army of the First Army of Yanbei is strong and invincible, if it is really a large number of soldiers to press the border, I am afraid that with the current strength of Meilin Pass, it will be a hard battle to fight against it, but they chose the attack method of night attack, I think its purpose is twofold.

One is that the darkness of the night can better hide their true strength, so that we cannot accurately judge the number of people they have in each dispatch, which will force us to have a greater sense of urgency.

The second is that they are doing it to cover the paralysis. Covering the void in their rear now, there has been news that they are wantonly recruiting troops and stockpiling food, but there is an obvious movement of campaign deployment; To paralyze us is to keep us in a constant state of tension in preparation for battle, to create opportunities and to wait for the right moment.

There is a cloud of strategy: wait for work with ease. The two armies have been holding each other for several days, they are now the attackers, we are the defenders, and the attackers are at a disadvantage and we are at the advantage. They use fatigue tactics that give us a sense of urgency and allow us to take the initiative, which turns their disadvantages into advantages. We will become passive, and in the long-term exhaustion and impatience, our generals will lose their usual calm judgment and deployment strategy, and the soldiers may pay the price because of the general's gaffe, which will make the army demoralized.

In this way, the breakthrough of Merrill Pass is just around the corner, and it can also allow them to reduce more losses. The person who laid out this plan can be described as a master of strategizing. I'm afraid the top priority is how to crack this drama. ”

After listening to this, Yuan Che felt that this son had great talent and great talent, and he analyzed the situation very thoroughly, and he spoke very deeply, which made some sense.
