Chapter 678: Remake the Classics
The Battle of the Rivers!
In 383 AD, the former Qin sent troops to attack the Jin and fought at the Huishui, and finally the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the former Qin army known as one million with less than 100,000 troops.
At the beginning, Fu Jian's army was large but mixed, internally unstable, and morale was also very low after a long period of invincibility, similar to the situation of Yuan Shu today.
The battle of Huaishui was in Huaishui, and now it is in Huaishui, which can also be called the battle of Huaishui.
Qin Feng planned to reproduce this classic battle, of course, he naturally wanted to play the victorious side.
"This is so ......, so that Yuan ...... retired after surgery, what do the two military advisors think?" Qin Feng asked after concisely recounting the process of the battle of Weishui.
Jia Xu and Xu Shu are both top-level strategists, and they immediately figured it out. Therefore, they admired Qin Feng's strategy very much, and said: "The lord's plan is very clever, it can be compared with the battle of Weishui and the battle of Julu!" ”
Qin Feng was very embarrassed in his heart, and said in his heart that at this time, the famous battle in the future generations was naturally mysterious.
However, Jia Xu said: "But there are still some flaws. ”
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the flaw?" ”
Jia Xu said cautiously: "Lord, although Yuan Shu has millions of people now, he is at a disadvantage. And the strategy of the lord is best if it is used to defeat the strong with the weak. ”
Qin Feng secretly sweated, and said in his heart that you are a good fox, and the master said less than half of it, and you can see that it is a trick to defeat the strong with the weak.
However, what Jia Xu said did make sense, and Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "How should that be!" ”
Jia Xu exchanged words with Xu Shu.
After a while, Xu Shu said: "The lord's plan is very good, and the strong want to fight quickly." Only the weak will have the opportunity to use this tactic. Although Yuan Shu is not a strong man now, he wants to stick to it wholeheartedly. But the daily consumption of his millions of people is enormous. Just wait a few days before he becomes tempted to fight. ”
"Makes sense!" Qin Feng was overjoyed.
That's it. The Qin army no longer took the initiative to attack, but confronted the Yuan army according to the river.
Half a month has passed.
Shouchun, Imperial Palace.
Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair, caressing his left face for a while, and then stroking his right cheek, looking very irritable, and said: "Urge, urge, even if I am rich in the world, there will be no surplus food." Stick with it for a while. After two months, when the autumn grain comes down, there will be plenty of food! ”
Your Highness, Yuan Yin, the prime minister of the puppet country, was embarrassed all the way, and said in his heart that he would rebel in two months, and I was afraid that there would be no food in half a month, so he said: "Your Majesty, let's think of a way again!" ”
Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, stood up from the dragon chair, and shouted, "You are the prime minister." You actually asked me to figure out a way, what's the use of asking you to be the prime minister? ”
Yuan Yin immediately sweated on the top of his head, and said in his heart that this is your country! But he didn't dare to contradict it, and said, "Yes." Yes, yes ....... ”
At this time, the puppet country Situ Yan Xiang on the side helped: "Your Majesty is angry." Prime Minister Yuan has tried his best, but the consumption of a million troops is too huge. Whether or not Majesty takes the lead. Cut the cost of expenses and support the ...... of the army. ”
Yuan Shu was not happy when he heard it. He became the emperor in order to enjoy the treatment of the emperor, and if he lived a hard life, he would pay it back. Impatiently said: "If you let it be cut, you can't bear it, and it's only a matter of two months, and the autumn grain will come down!" ”
Yan Xiang said: "Your Majesty, you also know that you can't go without food for a day in the army!" ”
Yuan Shu sighed, he used to be a good hand at leading troops, how could he not know this truth, and said weakly: "How long can the food in the army last?" ”
"It can last for half a month." Yuan Yin said.
"If you can win quickly...... When Yuan Shu said this, he immediately said loudly: "Does Qin Zijin have food?" Although his territory is large, his taxes are pitifully low. I'm out of food, and he's running out of food! ”
Yuan Yin and Yan Xiang glanced at each other, and reluctantly said, "Maybe......." The two couldn't help but think that people collect less public grain, but more commercial taxes. Buy it with money, and you won't have it.
At this time, Yan Xiang came up with another idea and said, "Your Majesty, or you can cut some soldiers and horses, and you can support it for a long time!" ”
Yuan Shu shook his head, he had the confidence to have more soldiers.
In this way, Yuan Shu was forced into a desperate situation, if there was no food supply army, it was bound to disband part of it, and the defense line was thus shrinking. However, as a result, he had no land to provide logistical support, and he was left with a city, which could not be held for a long time.
At this time, a Praetorian Guard officer entered the temple and said, "Your Majesty, a Qin army envoy has been sent from the front line, and I want to meet Your Majesty!" ”
"Emissary! Let him come in and see me! After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he regained his majesty, straightened the dragon robe and dragon crown, and sat on the dragon chair.
I saw the envoy of the Qin army coming.
"Don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty!" The left and right janissaries threatened.
The envoy of the Qin army was very young, he sneered when he heard the intimidation, but he only bowed his hand slightly politely, and said, "Here is a letter from my lord Qin Gong." ”
Yuan Shu motioned for the waiter to fetch it, and when he took the letter, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Your mission has been achieved, come on, pull it out and cut it!" ”
The left and right guards immediately pounced.
"Get out of here!" The envoy of our army just sneered, and without fear, he repelled the guards and turned and walked out.
Seeing this, Yan Xiang sweated on his head, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, if the two armies do not fight, I am afraid that the world will laugh at you!" ”
Yuan Shu had just read the general content of the letter at this moment, and immediately shouted: "Wait, bring him back!" ”
It turned out that Qin Feng in the letter roughly said: Yuan Highway, the relationship between the two of us was not bad back then, stronger than Yuan Benchu. When the tiger was imprisoned, you also invited the prime minister to play together in your big tent. Now the two of us can't play together anymore, and there's nothing to say. The food of the original phase is almost gone, and I don't think you have much food.
The prime minister asked you to cross the river for a decisive battle, and I guess you don't dare to come. It is better to retreat thirty miles back than this, and cross the river to fight you in a decisive battle.
How?
Yuan Shu was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said to the returning messenger: "Thirty miles? Brother Zijin Xian, this is a lion's big mouth, if he is really sincere, how can it be ten miles? You bring this message back and say I'm waiting for his reply! ”
"Farewell!" The envoy of our army just turned around and left the main hall.
Yan Xiang hurriedly asked, "Lord, what thirty miles, ten miles?" ”
Yuan Shu circulated Qin Feng's letter to them.
Yan Xiang was shocked when he saw the letter, and said: "Your Majesty, you can't fight a decisive battle with it, you should sit on the Huaishui and defend it according to the river!" ”
Yuan Yin was anxious when he heard this, because he considered the problem of food, and said in his heart that if the grain and grass run out in the future, I, the prime minister, would not be able to raise food, and I would have to click it. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, what Yan Situ said is too conservative. The art of war is cloudy, the enemy crosses the river, and half-crosses it, and it will win a complete victory! ”
Yuan Shu also considered it this way, and thought that the half-crossing attack was the only way for everyone to win in the ancient art of war. In fact, he also pondered in his heart to continue to defend, but if there was no food, Yuan Shu could not ignore this obvious big problem.
So he said: "I have made up my mind, immediately send an order to Yang Hong on the front line, get ready." After Qin Feng agreed, he retreated the army ten miles. Send a scout horse to closely monitor the river, only waiting for the Qin army to cross halfway, and the million-strong army of our Zhongguo will rush up and kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”
Millions of people, killing 100,000 Qin troops in Bandu, it sounds like a very good idea. So in the end, Yan Xiang didn't persuade anything anymore.
On the side of the Qin army, the big tent of the Chinese army.
The envoy of our army returned and bowed: "Lord, Yuan Shu only promised to retreat ten miles!" ”
Qin Feng nodded slightly, but said, "You have worked hard, then Yuan Highway didn't embarrass you!" ”
The messenger's heart warmed, and he kowtowed: "I wish to go to the soup for the lord." ”
Qin Feng was also very pleased, he asked the envoy to go down to rest, and then said: "Two military advisors, Yuan Shu only promised to retreat ten miles!" ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "There is no difference between ten miles, one mile, and thirty miles, but if Yuan's army needs to retreat comprehensively, our army will have the opportunity to create chaos." ”
So, Qin Feng sent a message to Yuan Shu again and agreed to his request. It was agreed that in the afternoon of the coming day, the Yuan army would retreat, and the Qin army would cross the river. After the formation, the two sides fought a decisive battle.
Yuan Shuxin said that if he didn't wait for you to cross the river, he would kill a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor, half of it was killed on the beach, and half of it was killed in the river. He was overjoyed, and thought that he had a plan, and this time not only did he not kill the messenger, but he also rewarded him with many things.
At night, Qin Feng sent ten elite teams of more than 100 people, changed into people's clothes, and quietly crossed the river at night. Sure enough, the millions of people in Yuan's camp were chaotic, and they often only knew each other in the same camp. As a result, the Qin army team was able to easily blend into the large camps everywhere.
After noon on the coming day, Qin Feng was fully clothed, armed with a gun and rode a horse to lead the army to the north bank of Huaishui. At the same time, Zhao Yun was on the west bank and Gao Shun was on the northwest bank, ready to cross the river and assault.
Just after noon, I saw the people of Yuanshu's camp boiling and neighing, and millions of people took action.
The 100-mile joint venture is very large, but when you look down from the sky, it is very chaotic.
"Where's my squad!"
"This is not my soldier!" A junior officer shouted.
"Made, what are you arguing about, retreat ten miles as far as possible, regroup, and go! Which one falls behind, military law is engaged! The generals scolded angrily.
In the chaos, the officers of Yuan's army could not find their own team at all, and at the urging of the superior officers, they led a group of people on the road and retreated.
The action of a million troops, the dust that they stepped on covered the sky and the sun, and the soldiers of the Yuan army in the dust could only see the backs of the soldiers in front of them, and nothing else could be seen. They were so bored that they retreated.
And the officers among them, who did not see the soldiers of the original formation, were too lazy to care about the unfamiliar non-commissioned officers, and only hurried away with their heads covered, so that after arriving at the assembly point, they would be reorganized.
At this point, the million-strong army, like a flock of sheep, retreated in a hula-la-la.
That is, just after retreating three or five miles, the elite of the Qin army secretly ambushed in the Yuan army sneaked behind the Yuan army. They looked around, and they couldn't see the Chinese army of Yuan's army, let alone the front army.
The time has come.
"Yuan Jun is defeated!"
"The enemy is coming!"
"Run for your life!" The Qin army squad shouted together, and at the same time, the surrounding Yuan army began to run. (To be continued......)
