Chapter 351: The Art of War
As soon as Yue Fei's words came out, everyone felt justified and responded one after another. Cheng Bingfu said with a smile: "Then how do you want to arrange it?" ”
"Please also ask General Cheng to quickly order your team to sleep and rest. When the fifth watch arrives, I will send someone to invite me, and then I will also ask General Cheng to quickly raise troops. At that time, if the Cao bandits come to attack, they will have to rely on General Cheng Lao to resist. Yue Fei arched his hand. Cheng Bing nodded his head and laughed well. Yue Fei and Cheng Bing agreed that they were about to leave. Seeing this, Zhang Xian hurriedly said: "Master, I will go with you!" ”
"Kid Mess Around!! Now that you are under the jurisdiction of General Cheng for the time being, how can you transfer it away at will!! What do you think of military discipline!? If you recidivize, you will not be spared!! Yue Fei shouted angrily, Zhang Xian hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and said yes. Yue Fei has always been strict in governing the army, there is no room for sand in his eyes, and he treats everyone equally, regardless of whether he violates military discipline. Cheng Bing also likes Zhang Xian, knowing that he just cares about Yue Fei, and persuades him well. Yue Fei faded his anger at this time, and before leaving, he called Zhang Xian aside alone.
"Xian'er, Meng said: The wisdom of leaving Lou and the ingenuity of the public losing his son, without rules, cannot be a square circle. Shi Kuang's wisdom, not with six laws, can not be five tones, the way of Yao Shun, not with benevolence, can not rule the world peacefully. Everything in the world, no matter how big or small, whether it is cheap, or the way of the king, must have rules and regulations to succeed. As a teacher, he is so harsh on you, I only hope that you will achieve something in the future, and I hope that you will remember the truth and don't hold grudges in your heart. Yue Fei whispered, that is, he told Zhang Xian the truth that his mentor Zhou Dong taught him back then.
Having said that, Yue Fei and Deng Yun are really seven points similar in temperament. At that time, among the senior brothers, the big guys all liked martial arts and hated literature, and put more energy on practicing martial arts and the strategy of the art of war, but they were unwilling to spend time to listen to and memorize some truths about how to deal with people, and only Yue Fei and Deng Yun kept them in mind, and once Zhou Tong asked, they could be catchy.
It's just that the so-called impermanence of the world may be Zhou Tong's two most proud disciples, but now they have embarked on two completely different paths. One is the way of disobedience that has been opened up for more people despite the hardships and hardships, countless lives, and countless cruel wars.
The other is the way of loyal ministers who wield their horses, defend their families and defend the country, are loyal to the court, and are willing to create a withered bone.
It is not yet known who is right and who is wrong of these two paths. But one thing is certain, that is, sooner or later, these two people will fight against each other and kill each other!!
Without saying much, Zhang Xian was obedient, his eyes were full of excitement, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked him: "The master has taught him painstakingly, and the apprentice must remember it in his heart and dare not forget it." ”
"The children can be taught." Yue Fei was overjoyed when he saw that Zhang Xian was willing to be taught, and after turning his head a little, he pulled up the reins, and the snow skull flying rabbit hissed, and then flew with four hooves and ran away. Zhang Xian looked at Yue Fei's god-like back, only to feel that he was full of pride, and shouted: "I wish the master martial arts prosperity!" ”
When it was nearly the second watch, it was said that if the officers and soldiers wanted to kill the Cao bandits' base camp, they still needed to break through four posts and one pass, a total of five places. The only pass was in the central area of these five places, and the number of troops was also the largest, but as Yue Fei expected, Cao Cheng made up his mind to defend the cottage with heavy troops, so he withdrew a large number of troops and horses. Even in these five places, the passes where the largest number of troops are located, there are only more than 1,000 people, and the other four posts are full of 3 or 500 soldiers, the main intention is to buffer the offensive in case the officers and soldiers attack. The bandits in these five places, without exception, all thought that the officers and men were exhausted from the fierce attack and fierce battle for a day today, and that the other officers and soldiers were guarding the mountainside pass, and they should not send troops to attack again at night. And Yue Fei grasped the psychology of the thief and led his troops to launch a night attack. Under a series of screams and shouts of killing like tearing the sky, Yue Fei's army was like a bamboo, and in less than three watches, three posts had been breached, and the thieves and bandits were all caught off guard, and most of them fled.
When Yue Fei led his troops to a pass in Zuihou, he saw that the lights were turned off, and there were earth-shattering shouts of killing in all directions, and more than 3,000 soldiers of Yue Fei's army heard it, and most of them changed color again and again, thinking that the bandit reinforcements were coming. Yue Fei was calm, his eyes shimmered, he looked at the four directions for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that among the thieves, there are many wise people, but such a trick, if you want to hide from the world, it is too much to underestimate Yue!" That's it! I'll do it! ”
Yue Fei said, anxious and the two thousand people beside him will be handed over so and so, and the two thousand people will listen to the order and immediately order their subordinates to deploy and retreat.
At the same time, above the pass. A leader named Song Tian, seeing the officers and soldiers withdrawing, couldn't help but sneer and sneered: "Hmph! Everyone in the mountains says how powerful this Yue Fei is, but they are just a group of reckless men who don't know how to use it!! Just like me, as long as I use clever tricks, why is it difficult to defeat this person!? ”
It is said that this Song Tian is a down-and-out scholar, who has learned some skills, and is good at reading the art of war strategy, but later because his family was forced by traitorous officials, he fell into the middle of the family. In order to take revenge, this person abandoned literature and martial arts, and later attracted some ruthless people, so that Ji led the traitor's family of six out of the city, intercepted them halfway, and cut the family of six with two five or six-year-old children into meat scraps. Later, due to the great disturbance caused by the local government, this man and his companions threw themselves into Dawang Mountain. Cao Cheng admired him very much, and soon made him one of the leaders of the cottage.
Song Tian was arrogant, always thought that if he hadn't met that traitor back then, with his own ability, he would definitely be able to get ahead, and now although he is a coward, he is not unlucky, thinking that after making more meritorious achievements in this village, he will climb up step by step, he believes that even if he is a bandit, he can also create a meritorious career.
And this time, the entire stockade seems to have been turned upside down by Yue Fei alone, if he can capture Yue Fei, it will definitely be a great achievement. Song Tian's thought flashed, and now that he saw that the officers and soldiers were withdrawing more and more, the officers and soldiers who were left behind gradually began to withdraw.
Song Tian's face was suddenly shocked, and he ordered a few small leaders next to him: "Quickly pass on my order, the officers and soldiers have fallen into my false strategy, their sharpness has been lost, and they have no intention of fighting!! ”
As soon as Song Tian's voice fell, a small leader couldn't help but change color, and hurriedly persuaded: "Slow down, adult!" Yue Fei is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid there is some trick! ! What's more, the king has a clear order, and the posts and passes can only be guarded, not rashly attacked!! What's more, there are quite a few officers and soldiers, please think twice!! ”
"Humph! How do you know the magic of the art of war strategy!? The officers and soldiers have fallen into our false plan, but when our army kills out, they will think that most of the men and horses will cover up and kill, and then they will definitely not attack and cause chaos. Quickly pass my order, and those who violate the order will be killed!! Song Tian hissed loudly, his eyes lit up, and everyone dared to refute when they heard it, and they took orders one after another.
However, he said that Yue Fei suddenly ordered to withdraw, and the officers and soldiers had withdrawn from Baizhang. At the time of the suddenness, the shouting of killing became more and more intense, and the shock made people's hearts tremble. Many officers and soldiers looked behind them and saw that the bandits were looking out of the pass, and they were all panicked and hurried. Yue Fei also hissed and shouted, 'Retreat'. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were really cowardly, the bandits were not attacking and disorderly, and they were all bold and rushed to kill. Gradually, I saw that the bandits were about to catch up with the officers and soldiers.
Suddenly, Yue Fei, who had fled in Zuihou, suddenly sat down with Xue Skull Feitu, shot two fine lights in his eyes, and shouted angrily: "Little thief!" Don't think I don't know what you're up to!? I'm just going to do it and lure the snake out of the hole!! ”
Yue Fei shouted, and as soon as his voice fell, the centaurs had already flown up. When the bandits heard this, they were all in turmoil, but they became the ones who did not attack themselves.
"Damn!! What a cunning dog!! Song Tian listened to his plan, and suddenly his face was flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth. said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Yue Fei had already killed into the cluster of thieves and bandits, rushing left and right, as powerful as demons and gods, killing the thieves and bandits. Seeing this, the morale of the officers and soldiers behind them increased, and they all rushed over one after another, all of them were as fierce as tigers and wolves, killing the thieves and bandits one after another, and they would collapse in a moment.
Seeing that Yue Fei was so powerful, Song Tian knew that he was invincible, so he reined in his horses and fled back to the pass with a team of light horses. Yue Fei saw it clearly, scolded angrily, and went straight to Fei. When the bandits who were fighting saw Song Tian fleeing, their morale plummeted, and they had no intention of resisting, so they abandoned and surrendered. Yue Fei had expected this, and had already ordered the two thousand generals just now. So the first army left the prisoners to rectify, the first army left to guard, and the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses were led by Yue Fei himself, and they were all killed with Yue Feiwang Pass.
"Thief~~!! Hugh wants to escape~~!! After Yue Fei chased after Song Tian, he shouted angrily. Song Tian listened to it in his ears, and he shuddered and shivered, and when he looked back, he saw Yue Fei riding a snow-white divine horse, about to catch up.
"Not good!! It's Hao Zheng's snow skull flying rabbit, how did it fall into this person's hands!! I'm dying!! Song Tian was in a hurry, and when he looked forward, he was about to reach the gate, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Close the brother, open the door quickly!! ”
When the thieves heard this, although they saw Yue Fei chasing, they were also afraid that Song Tian would have a chance, so they hurriedly opened the gate. Song Tian gritted his teeth and rushed towards the pass. When Yue Fei saw it, Peng Mu launched a burst of fine light, and secretly laughed that this time he really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, and it didn't take any effort to get it!
Yue Fei turned his mind, and said urgently: "The first three hundred cavalry in front of me will all enter the pass with me, and the seven hundred infantry in the back are all guarding outside the pass. ”
And at the moment when Yue Fei's words fell, the snow skull flying rabbit, which was as fast as lightning thunder, had already burst into the pass, and the thieves were startled when they saw it, and hurriedly pulled up the mechanism, wanting to close the gate. The three hundred cavalry behind Yue Fei all stepped up their horses and rushed in, just as Zuihou entered alone, there was a loud bang, and the gate fell, which was really frightening.
But he said that Yue Fei Pegasus chased into the pass, and when Song Tian saw it, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he didn't care about commanding the soldiers, so he was anxious to flee on the mountain. Several leaders were unwilling to give up and led their troops to battle. Yue Fei fought under the pass, and when the deployment came, he hurriedly dismounted and took the pass. After a while, the gate was opened again, and it turned out that Yue Fei's 300 deployments had taken the pass, and the 700 infantry outside rushed in, capturing many remnants of the army.
On the other hand, because Yue Fei had already made arrangements, he quickly sorted out the prisoners. It was already the third watch, Yue Fei ordered a group of 300 soldiers, pressed the captives to go down the mountain first, and it should be about the fifth watch, and informed Cheng Bing by the way to prepare to lead troops up the mountain.
Yue Fei then ordered all the men and horses to rest in the pass immediately, until the fifth watch, and then attacked the mountain. As soon as Yue Fei's order fell, many soldiers had doubts in their hearts, and some asked why they didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the remaining two posts. Some asked, "The fighting just now was so big that the bandits on the mountain would definitely find out, and if they led heavy troops to kill, they would be helpless."
Yue Fei listened to what the crowd said, smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "Brothers, don't be careful. Cao bandits have been defeated repeatedly, and they have already been cowardly towards our army, so they are passive everywhere and do not dare to attack rashly. At the same time, Cao Cheng has always been suspicious, and when he heard that our army was like this, he would think it was a plan, and even ordered the soldiers of the remaining two posts to be recalled, so as not to sacrifice in vain. The so-called art of war: know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. When the two armies face each other, it is important whether the number of troops or the elite of the soldiers is important, but it is often the commanders of the two armies who decide the outcome of the battle. If one side can anticipate everything, the direction of victory and defeat will definitely be biased towards that side. ”
Yue Fei has never had a fight, and he is like a brother to his comrades in the army, and now he also explained the way of fighting with everyone, and everyone listened to it, and they all had some understanding, and nodded their heads again and again, keeping it in mind.
Gradually, it was time for the fourth watch, and now in the cottage on the mountain, it can be said that there was a mess, and Cao Cheng and all the leaders in the village were woken up by the shouting and killing sound in the middle of the night. Cao Cheng heard that the officers and soldiers were attacking at night, and it was Yue Fei who led the troops.
"Newspaper~~!! After Yue Fei conquered a pass in Zuihou, he rested and recuperated, and had no intention of marching!! At this moment, a bandit scout hurried to him and shouted.
When Cao Cheng heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "What kind of medicine is being sold in this Yue Fei gourd!? This is clearly a good situation, it should be the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but there is no progress, why not!? ”
Yao Gang's heart jumped, his face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "Back to the king, the little one guessed what Yue Fei meant!" ”
When Cao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted: "Sir, come quickly!" ”
Looking at the battles in recent days, it is not difficult to see that Yue Fei loves the soldiers very much, and he pays attention to maintaining the combat strength of the soldiers, and there is little reluctance. I think Yue Fei must want his soldiers to rest first, recuperate, and then forge ahead tomorrow. ”
