Chapter 0490 - Counting is Counting
PS: Thank you for the reward of "Favorite Novels"!
"No, my lord, the general is a plan!" Although Ma Yun was tired, he was in good spirits, and said with a smile after hearing this. It seems that he persuaded Xi Juan, which is why he seems so calm.
Zhang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "Yes, so many soldiers and horses are mobilized, how can the Yuan Dynasty not be aware of it, if it is a little deeper, it can be investigated clearly, and then Yuanzhou's external strength and internal cadres will be easily seen through, if it is a hard match, the odds of winning are only thirty percent, and it is easy to give the other party a chance to take advantage of, so it is better to retreat to Yuanzhou just in case!" In this way, it can give full play to the advantages of the right time, place and people, and can deceive the other party's ......! β
If Zhang Yuan didn't know much about Xi Juan Weishenme before, now that he understands Xi Juan's strategic angle, Zhang Yuan also has a trace of understanding.
Since you can't touch hard, it is better to retreat and seek the second, show the enemy to be weak and drag the opponent's pace in Yuanzhou, and even Yuanzhou, Qingzhou and other four states, which can not only lure the enemy deeper, but also make every effort to prepare for a counterattack, and give the opponent a fatal blow at the critical moment.
"The news of the transfer of 50,000 troops was carefully covered by the general, and it was not allowed to spread outside, for fear of shaking the morale of the army! If the Yuan army fails to find out, it will turn the virtual into reality, with the help of the right time and place and the right people to fight a war of attrition, as long as the wind and snow are together, the Yuan army will die if it does not retreat. β
"If the intelligence ability of the Yuan army gets this news and passes it on, then they are even more convinced that the general's strength is insufficient, coupled with the inability to prove the battle in the early stage, they will think that the general is weak, and at that time, in order to eradicate the henchmen, they will naturally use their strength to deal with the general. In this way, the general will be able to drag the other party to Yuanzhou, without expanding the front to four states, and then make a concerted effort. will be able to overthrow the Yuan army in one fell swoop and turn things around! β
Ma Yun talked eloquently, and when he said it from his mouth, he simply regarded Xi Juan as an idol.
In fact, it sounds simple, but in fact, Xi Juan's strategy is really clever, because the most clever thing about this strategy is that before it is done, unless someone deliberately leaks it, it will not be detected at all. Concealment and operability alone determine the probability of success of this strategy.
Whether a strategy is clever or not does not lie in how complex and delicate it is, but in its operability and concealment. As long as these two points are met, even one is in a simple scheme. It's also more than any stratagem to come to haode.
The rise of Jack Ma's theory. Others also came from all over the city, and soon, Chen Qing, Gao Huan, and Wei Jing arrived one after another.
Ma Yun smiled and stopped talking, and the three of them saluted Zhang Yuan slightly: "I've seen the lord!" β
"Sit down!" Zhang Yuan invited the three of them to sit down. Then briefly summarized Ma Yun's meaning and Xi Juan's jihua, and the three of them pondered after listening.
The first to come to his senses was Gao Huan, who slapped his palms and said, "Lord." If this is the case, then retreat is inevitable, and it is also necessary for General Hu Lujin and others to return with a fiasco, but the manipulation needs to be changed, and the fiasco can be, but it can't easily let the Yuan army win! β
Hearing this, Ma Yun glanced at Gao Huan, and couldn't help but look at the other party a lot.
"Ah Liudun is quick!" Zhang Yuan glanced at the other party deeply, and praised the other party cordially, it is rare to be able to comprehend Xi Juan's intentions in such a short period of time, and combine the actual situation of Xihe City to give a suggestion that contains many deep meanings and is almost comprehensive.
Then, Zhang Yuan looked at Chen Qing and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Meng Cheng thinks?" β
Chen Qing held two wooden hexagrams made of sandalwood in his hands, constantly swinging, and after hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he raised his head and said: "Gao Huan is right, this matter can be done, but if you want to plan bigger, you need to put your eyes on a broader place, such as the world!" β
Zhang Yuan was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person was enlightened, as if he had eaten the fruit of life, and the pores on his body were stretched, as if the realm was lifted up at once, and his eyes were deep.
Zhang Yuan secretly patted his forehead, and thought with a wry smile in his mind: "Sure enough, where you are, you are limited there, even if you wake up from time to time, but after all, you are limited, and you forget that you can't just focus on your own one-third of an acre of land...... β
This is human nature, after all, not everyone has such a long-term vision, and has not been affected by external objects, Zhang Yuan needs to deal with official business every day, the whole person's mind is on this acre and three points of land, and the way of thinking is also habitually ignoring more, larger places, so that it is limited.
This situation is inevitable, after all, a person's energy is only so much, unless it is God, can take everything into account, otherwise there is always something missing.
And Xi Juan is not moved by external things, Zhang Yuan doesn't want to tire her with everything, except for giving Zhang Yuan advice, Chen Qing can't live in seclusion on weekdays, so his vision is naturally more long-term. In addition, Chen Qing himself has an outstanding view of the overall situation, so he often speaks amazingly, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
The others were also awakened by Chen Qing's words, they were not stupid, on the contrary, they were extremely smart, and after hearing Chen Qing's words, they drew inferences from each other and had a lot more ideas.
"When the Yuan and Han are both defeated, it is the day when the lord raises his army!"
Ma Yun made a start, saying that they had already discussed the results and time of the haode, and then he said: "Now, since Xiang Yu has scared Liu Bang like this, why not use the other party's liliang to make Liu Bang even more free, and it will not be impossible to annex the entire land of Hanxi in one fell swoop, and the thirty-eight states!" β
"Daydreaming!" Gao Huan rolled his eyes and said coldly. In his eyes, although Ma Yun is smart, he is still a child after all, young, has not experienced any hardships, and still has many naΓ―ve ideas.
Ma Yun's face turned red when he was choked by his words, and he retorted angrily: "The lord once said that he attaches importance to the enemy tactically and despises the enemy strategically!" Although the thirty-six states are delusional, they dare not think about how to do it! β
The Han Dynasty is now close to stability, the people are at peace, and there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is difficult to divide the territory itself, and Ma Yun's words of 36 states are almost impossible. No matter what the people of the thirty-six states are, and what the army is, how can Liu Bang sit idly by, just the local family shili entrenched in the thirty-six states is enough for Xihe City to drink a pot and eat to death.
"Whether it is possible or not, Jack Ma's thinking is really good and full of pioneering spirit."
Ma Yun's words are indeed not bad, Zhang Yuan did not despise his bold words in his heart, but appreciated the vitality of the other party. When you are young, when you are passionate about pioneering, it is not good to be more stable.
Zhang Yuan made up his mind, others naturally would not rebel, and Zhang Yuan immediately found that Jihua had been changing constantly, making subtle adjustments according to the situation. I was a little dizzy, so I turned back to the conversation. Decide to straighten out your thinking. Throwing bricks and jade, he said: "Ma Yun, tell me, why did the general let us withdraw the army?" β
Ma Yun was very familiar with Zhang Yuan, and immediately realized what Zhang Yuan meant, straightened his sitting posture and said:
"Save your strength! Xihe City was at the forefront of the Yuan army's entry into the Han Dynasty, and it was a nail that could not be ignored. Therefore, the general ordered us to withdraw our troops to preserve our strength to cope with the next offensive of the Yuan army, but under the persuasion of the minister, the general acquiesced to the sacrifice of part of our army to achieve the goal of confusing the Yuan army! β
The train of thought followed Jack Ma's words. It became clear all of a sudden, and Zhang Yuan asked: "In this way, we will follow Ah Liudun's suggestion, not necessarily defeated, but also defeated, in this way, it will make the other party think that my Xihe City troops are also empty after getting ......the news!" β
"As for the rest, everyone should think about it and plan after going back, there is no hurry at this time, the two armies are fighting, and it is impossible for the decisive battle to end in a short time, so that the time can be used to improve the entire jihua!" Zhang Yuan said, there is no time to delay now, so Xi Juan's suggestion can be taken slowly, and now the top priority is to pass the message forward, and then Xihe City will also make full preparations for battle, and go to pick up the retreating army when necessary.
"Ding, do you accept the generation of the temporary quest 'Yuan and Han First Battle'?"
"Accept!" Zhang Yuan looked out with deep eyes.
After obtaining the strategic intention transmitted from Xihe City, the soldiers of Xihe City, who had originally restrained the advance of the Yuan army, went against the norm and changed from passive guerrilla attacks to active attacks.
Under the command of Hu Lujin, after the surrounding area of 300 miles became a huge chessboard, the seven Xihe City elite cavalry went back and forth, and fought with the three Yuan armies with an average number of nearly 25,000 three times in one day, each time with their own winners and losers.
The same cavalry with superb horsemanship, although the Yuan army was numerous, it did not have the slightest advantage for a while.
What made Zhang Rou, the vanguard commander of the Yuan army, quite a headache, was that the opponent's equipment was even more elite than them, in addition, because of the distance, he got a steady stream of logistics supplies, and did not spare the physical strength of the war horse, which made the Yuan army extremely passive.
You must know that the most important thing for a cavalry is mobility, and horsepower has naturally become the top priority, and it is highly valued, so when facing the enemy, even if the opponent is stabilized in numbers, it cannot be destroyed for a while, such a situation is extremely rare in the process of the rise of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Zhong Chou, has there been any news from the intermittent guest, who is the commander of the other party?"
Zhang Rou's face was yellow and bearded, her face was a little blessed, but her body was extremely refined, tall and majestic, and her momentum was condensed, riding on the young horse, looking at the neat and orderly withdrawal of the Xihe Spirit Horse, and the messy left wing, she frowned and asked.
Once upon a time, this kind of tactics was the Yuan army's forte, but now it is used by the other party on himself, and it looks like Jiashi is quite blue out of blue and better than blue, which makes Zhang Rouqing embarrassed.
Zhang Hongfan is wearing a Mongolian hat, white face and short beard, quite handsome, his eyes are like eagles, and his whole temperament has changed, which makes him look a little hazy. He was half a horse behind Zhang Rou, and after hearing Zhang Rou's words, he immediately said: "Father, there is no news yet, but a lot of information about Xihe City has been collected!" β
"Oh, give the order to go down, camp on the spot, and be on guard!"
Zhang Rou immediately became interested, looked at the sky, and now it was close to evening, and after a day of entanglement, the soldiers were already tired, so he simply ordered.
Xihe City appeared in his ears more than once, but this real confrontation made Zhang Rou more interested in the small city of Xihe City, and he wanted to know what kind of person could gather so many elite soldiers with a city.
"It's really a difficult opponent, and the defense is not leaky, I heard that the other party is Zhang Rou, a Han man who has reduced the yuan, and it is really powerful!" On the other side, Hu Lujin was rewarded by the front line, looked at the map of the soldiers spread out on the grass, muttered to himself, and immediately put a stone in his hand in the center.
"Since this is the case, then I won't entangle with you, lest the old bottom be figured out by you, let's have a decisive battle!" Strategy is above all else, and Hu Lujin doesn't care about the victory or defeat of one or two games, so after getting the new strategic intention of Xihe City, he constantly mobilizes the strength of the Yuan army to create opportunities for a decisive battle.
And that opportunity, obviously, is now.
Although the situation did not meet Hu Lujin's psychological expectations, he knew that he couldn't wait, his troops were inferior to others, the more he fought, the smaller the chance of victory, the more casualties fought, and the strategic intentions were likely to be seen through by the other party, which was not beautiful.
