"You really don't need to prepare some plans or anything?" Zhou Shaoyu asked worriedly.

Li Xiuning was helpless, and since she came back from leading the army, Zhou Shaoyu kept asking how to defend or how to fight. I've been too lazy to pay attention to it, and I never thought I'd be entangled.

I had no choice but to speak: "Then tell me what strategies are used." ”

"Is this, robbing grain?" Zhou Shaoyu said sweatfully, but when I used to read novels or biographies, didn't I like to play this hand.

Li Xiuning skimmed Zhou Shaoyu, although she was expressionless, Zhou Shaoyu always felt that she was despised, and then listened to her say: "Good strategy, then you can talk about it, where to rob ......"

"Send a spy to explore first...... "......Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shaoyu reacted, how far is this from Chang'an, you don't need to ask about food, you have to go to Chang'an to rob it."

The people are dignified and well-defended, so you can have nothing to do with the food? Why don't you just attack Chang'an, it's really so weak, the Sui Dynasty will be destroyed early.

Li Xiuning is a bad learner, obviously disdainful, and he still says that he has a good strategy, but this is the opposite, it really makes people's faces hot, hum, I'll clean you up when I go back.

"What about luring the enemy? Ambush? Night Raid? There's always something that works. Zhou Shaoyu hurriedly cast a wide net, so embarrassed, he thought he was smart, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, it was too wrong.

"What lure? Is it a big credit for recovering the city, or is it a big credit for destroying part of the enemy army? Do you use the city as bait? Don't fight a good battle to defend the city, go to the jungle and fight hard? "Li Xiuning is not angry, she also gave Zhou Shaoyu the title of military advisor.

"Field, Battle...... Still fighting? Zhou Shaoyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, why was he so imaginative?

"Let's talk about ambushes, when the Sui army is prepared, how can it be so easy to ambush, it is really vegetarian to be a sentinel, if there is less ambush, it is useless, and if there are more ambushes, they will be found and will be counterattacked. There is also a night attack, when it is difficult to see at night, how to distinguish friend from foe? ”

Well, forget about the ancient saying that there was night blindness. Moreover, even if you are not night blind, it is indeed difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the night attack is all about fighting with a wild breath, and don't expect to continue to give orders after the raid. Not elite, easily flustered.

Zhou Shaoyu can be regarded as discovering that one of the biggest differences between ancient warfare and modern warfare is communication. In the case of communication equipment, you can command like an arm, divide the troops into multiple points, and change and mobilize in a timely manner according to the situation, but in ancient times, don't even think about it.

Isn't there anything to learn from? Absolutely, like special operations! But Zhou Shaoyu really didn't dare to mention it, first, the special forces are not only strong in individual ability, but also need to cultivate operational awareness, and it is impossible to have such talents now.

Second, if the theory of special operations is exposed a lot, it will still change the war a lot, and it will be easy to have a butterfly effect, which is not good.

Seeing Zhou Shaoyu's meditative look, he thought that he was still thinking about some strategy without giving up, so he sighed: "To put it simply, fighting a war is a dignified and upright battle, compared to the elite, more than morale, and more than quantity. Obviously, if Han Xin points more troops, the better, there may be many examples in history of winning with less and winning with stratagem, but it is only because of this that it is remembered, and more, who fights more people, who can always persevere. ”

"It's not that the strategy can't be used, but in many cases it can't be used, even if it is the battle of Guandu that has been handed down in history, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao's grain and grass are not good, and the gap between the troops is large, if it is not for the fact that he happened to know the heavy land of Wuchao grain and grass, and successfully attacked it, I am afraid that it will be useless to accept more strategists."

Zhou Shaoyu's face was weird, and he always felt that it would be a little difficult to accept this argument for a while.

But he denied that he couldn't, but according to this statement, Yuan Shao decided to go south to attack Cao Cao, and Tian Feng tried his best to discourage it. Just as he was about to refute, he listened to Li Xiuning continue.

"What do you want to say? In the battle of Guandu, did Cao Jun always have an advantage? But so what, Yuan Shao commanded an army of 100,000, Cao Cao was only 30,000, said that the army was elite, Yuan Shao had just attacked Gongsun Zhan, and the selected soldiers were all good at fighting, if he wanted to fight hard, how would Cao Cao deal with it? If the black nest is excluded, as long as Yuan Shao fights steadily and is not aggressive, how can Cao Jun fight? ”

"This ......" Zhou Shaoyu's head is not enough.

Li Xiuning took a sip of tea, and then said: "Of course, because of such a gap in strength, Yuan Shao was blindly arrogant, rejected Wan'an's strategy, and rashly marched into the army, for Cao Cao, it was also to take advantage of this to make a good start and improve morale. But then again, let me ask you, if you had a strong military advantage, what would you rack your brains to think of? ”

Of course not, at most think about how to fight to reduce losses. Well, Zhou Shaoyu understands, if it weren't for helplessness, who would want to go off the rails, to put it bluntly, most of the strategies are done as a last resort, if you succeed, you will be happy, and if you don't succeed, you will be worried. People tend to remember successful strategies, but most of the failures are little known.

Of course, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, except for Zhuge Liang, who is as good as a god, but in reality, there are very few such characters.

The truth is true, but there is also a difference, that is, Zhou Shaoyu himself. Born in the era of information explosion, not to mention the broad vision, compared with the ancients, the mind is more flexible, the thinking is more active, the limitations are smaller, and the things he is exposed to are more, what the ancients did not know, what he knew, what the ancients did not study, he has also seen.

Perhaps because he is not familiar with it at present, he has a weak understanding of cold weapon warfare, but with the increase of time, he can always summarize his own theory.

Although he temporarily accepted Li Xiuning's statement, Zhou Shaoyu always felt that he couldn't be too embarrassed, and he might not be able to think of complicated things, but he could always get along with them with simple planning. So I started racking my brains.

Li Xiuning finally said: "Besides, at the moment, our army is mostly villagers and bandits, the armament is backward, although there are many people, but they are not beaten, and there are slightly more casualties, it is likely to be defeated, on the other hand, the Sui army, there are only 10,000, but they are all elite, and the armament is excellent and complete, fortunately, our army is not short of bows and arrows. ”

"If you leave an army outside the city, it will inevitably be suppressed, but it can be scattered and hidden in the mountains, and it is not necessary to attack the Sui army, but only to disturb it when it is tired." Zhou Shaoyu said tentatively.

Li Xiuning shook his head and said: "There is no need, although the army can be tired, but it will increase the vigilance of the Sui army, which is not conducive to counterattack, this place is too close to Chang'an, if the Sui army cannot attack for a long time, the follow-up will send reinforcements, at that time, even if our army has a city to defend, it will be defeated, so it is simply to let it rest, relax its vigilance, and then attack by surprise." ”

"Hey......" Zhou Shaoyu sighed, feeling inferior, and ignored it, what he was directly facing was 10,000 Sui troops, but there was still a Chang'an in the rear that could send reinforcements at any time.

In order to ensure that Chang'an is not lost, Chang'an's troops will definitely not act rashly, but who let Li Xiuning's army not far from Chang'an, such a threat, if it cannot be attacked, Chang'an will definitely take a fast attack route and send reinforcements, so as to quickly wipe it out.
