Chapter 27: Pre-War Meetings
"Senior brother, Rong Fan, Rong Jie, Rong Yong, Rong Shan, and Rong Guang, they have arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCan you let them in?" The next morning, Master Shouzheng came to the Medicine Master Hall and asked Rong Hai for advice.
Rong Hai nodded, and then said to Wukong, "Help me up." ”
"You're almost there, can you stop being so dead and want to save face! You're already like this, can't you just lie down honestly? Hey! Why are you so stubborn?" Wukong saw Rong Hai struggling to get up, but he had no choice but to step forward to help the big arhat.
"Let them in. Rong Hai, who was covered with bandages, sat on the hospital bed with a dignified and golden knife, and then lightly instructed the Shouzheng Zen master.
After a while, five warrior monks of different heights, shortness, fat and thinness, uniformly wearing white monk's robes, entered Rong Hai's room.
"Rong Fan, Rong Jie, Rong Yong, Rong Shan, Rong Guang, meet the hall master!" As soon as the five warrior monks came in, they hurriedly saluted Rong Hai.
"This is my apprentice, his legal name is Rongkong, you must help him well in the future, remember? Rongkong, Rongkong, Rongkong, the teacher called you!" Rong Hai called Wukong here, but when he saw Wukong looking around stupidly, he suddenly had a black line in his head.
"What do you call me? Really, you even misremember my name! My name is Wukong, not some bullshit Rongkong! Remember? Wukong! It's not Rongkong!" Rongkong replied with an unhappy face.
"As soon as you enter the Magic Mountain, the legal name will be changed to Rong, this is the rule, you will be called Rongkong in the future. Well, it's useless if you don't want to change it, don't say it. The five of them are the vice-masters of my Arhat Temple, and you come forward and salute them. Rong Hai interrupted Rong Kong's nonsense and commanded him.
The names have changed, and Wukong saw that he probably couldn't go back to Erlin Temple, so he honestly saluted the five deputy hall masters.
The deputy hall masters all stared at Rong Kong carefully with a look of surprise on their faces, and they all secretly guessed in their hearts whether this little fat man was Rong Hai's illegitimate son or other relatives, otherwise, with this little fat man's qualifications as a second-class cripple, how could he worship the hall master as a teacher!
You must know that Rong Hai has been in the Demon Mountain for 60 years, although he has taught countless warrior monks to practice martial arts, but he himself has never accepted a single person as an apprentice, does this little fat man have such a great creation?
"Five senior brothers, five senior brothers? Rong Kong still had some resistance to his Dharma name, so he saluted to the five distracted deputy hall masters in such a daze.
After the five of them came back to their senses, they also hurriedly saluted to the future master of the Arhat Palace.
"Alright, Rong Kong came to me. You five know everything, right?" Rong Hai sat on the hospital bed without moving, and asked the five in a deep voice.
"Back to the hall master, we already know everything. 20,000 reserve warrior monks are already waiting outside the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, ready to set off at any time. The other 80,000 reserve warrior monks have already ambushed in Mozuo Prefecture. Rong Fan replied concisely to the hall master.
"Set up a map and tell me about your deductions. After Rong Hai lowered his head and pondered for a while, he commanded directly to Rong Fan.
Rong Guang took off the long cylinder he was carrying behind him, and after taking out the map from it, Rong Yong and Rong Shan hung the map together in front of the hall master.
This map depicting the entire Mozuo Prefecture is 6 meters long and 2 meters wide, and the map not only records the mountains and rivers of the entire Mozuo Prefecture in detail, but also indicates the distribution of all the rivers and lakes in the state, and even the approximate number of each force is remembered clearly and clearly on this map.
Rong Fan took out a telescopic rod from his arms, and after straightening the rod, he reported to the hall master the tactics that the five of them had set overnight.
"Back to the hall master, we estimate that the other party's forces participating in the war this time should be almost all the forces in the entire rivers and lakes. Therefore, we estimate that the number of Yang God Warriors that the other side may gather to participate in the battle should be between 150,000 and 180,000, and the number of Returning Void Warriors should be between 350 and 450. Our total strength is 100,000, including 99,622 Yang God Warriors and 378 Returning Void Warriors, so the strength of the two sides is roughly equal. When he said this, Rong Fan deliberately stopped and observed the hall master's reaction.
"Go on. Rong Hai had already considered these strength comparisons, so he didn't have anything to say, so he motioned for Rong Fan to continue.
"Back to the hall master, although the opponent's total strength has a slight advantage, the opponent's forces are numerous, the sources are chaotic, and they are improvised patchwork combinations, so it is impossible for them to achieve perfect unified command, and then give full play to the full combat power that the legion should have. If the other party dares to fight us head-on here, they will definitely lose this battle. As he said this, Rong Fan took his stick and pointed to the south of the Zuodao base camp, two kilometers away on the Demon Blood River Plain.
Rong Kong didn't understand these tactics at all, but he was very good at pretending, and when he saw that everyone was looking at the plain, he also pretended to look at the plain very seriously.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the map, Rong Fan continued: "Although we have a head-to-head battle with the opponent in the Demon Blood River Plain, our side will win. But we will definitely lose something, so we have to win the goal. A few of us settled on a four-step strategy. As he spoke, he looked at the four of them.
The four of Rong Jie nodded slightly, and Rong Fan continued: "First, show the enemy weakness, and divide our personnel into three parts by dividing them into 10,000, 10,000, and 80,000. The hall master personally led 10,000 monks to sit here, making the illusion of waiting for the follow-up monks. At the same time, I will lead 10,000 monks to the rear of the hall and make the appearance of leading the remaining 90,000 monks to join the hall master, so as to confuse the enemy. As he spoke, Rong Fan pointed his stick at a place in the Demon Blood River Plain, on the south bank of the river between the two mountains.
"The other party found that the hall master only brought 10,000 monks and soldiers, and most of them would lead the troops to come. As long as we can hold the other side for fifteen minutes, the 80,000 monks who have been ambushed in the lower reaches of the river can rush to reinforcements in time. At this time, I can easily carry out the third step of outflanking and annihilation, and destroy all the opponent's returning warriors. After the third step is completed, our fourth step plan can be carried out with the whole army, even if the other party wants to retreat at this time, the 10,000 monks I personally led have already cut off their back road, and the other party will inevitably be unable to escape. After the four-step plan was finished, Rong Fan stood aside respectfully, waiting for the hall master's instructions.
Rong Hai Dama Jin Dao sat on the hospital bed, pondered silently for a long time, then looked at the little fat boy who was pretending to be at this time, and asked him, "What do you think of this plan?"
Rong Kong was pretending to be a big clove of garlic at this time, and when he heard the master's question, he was immediately stunned!
He said in his heart that I know a six, how can you ask me about such a big matter, but since the master asked him, he can't show cowardice in front of so many people, how embarrassing, right?
"Well, Senior Brother Rong Fan's plan is very good, that's how I planned it, and sure enough, the hero sees the same!" Rong Kong said in a serious manner.
"You don't have to do all this useless here, to tell you the truth, do you think the other party will be fooled?" Rong Hai asked as he frowned and glared at his apprentice.
When Rong Kong saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, he had no choice but to hang his head and say honestly: "You ask me what is the use of these farts? I don't understand these strategies and the like, I don't know." ”
"It's okay if you don't understand, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand. Tell me how you feel after listening to the plan, don't answer right away, think about it. Rong Hai didn't care what other people thought, he still insisted on listening to his apprentice's thoughts.
Rong Kong saw that he really couldn't hide, so he had to think about the plan Rong Fan just talked about, thinking about it, he really tasted something, so he asked suspiciously.
"What if the other party is a coward and doesn't dare to come to fight the 10,000 people in Ronghai?"
Besides, he led more than 100,000 troops, but he didn't dare to move in the face of 10,000 people, is this possible? Is this completely nonsense?
Therefore, except for Rong Hai, everyone else felt unimpressed by Rong Kong's words.
"What would you do if it were you. Don't rush to answer, think about it. Rong Hai still didn't care what other people thought, he still insisted on listening to his apprentice's thoughts.
Rong Kong thought for a much longer time than last time, and he pondered for half an hour until most people were about to get impatient, and then he watched Rong Hai preach.
"You lead 10,000 people to provoke directly, fight and flee quickly, and after arriving at the ambush that Senior Brother Rong Fan talked about just now, let's attack him again with a brick, no, heroically destroy the enemy. After Rong Kong finished speaking, he lowered his head very embarrassed.
"No! If the hall master risked his life and fought head-on with the other party on the plain, he would definitely be entangled by the other party, and it would be impossible for him to return to the ambush site at all!" After Rong Fan listened to his junior brother's whimsical suggestion to make a death, he hurriedly objected loudly.
"I'll just say I don't understand anything! You dare to ask me! I almost killed you! Don't ask me these big things again, and I won't say anything if you ask!" Rong Kong heard his senior brother's answer, and he gasped in fright, and then he quarreled angrily with Rong Hai.
Rong Hai didn't care about the apprentice's accusations, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head and ordered everyone concisely: "After nine days, first proceed according to Rong Fan's plan." ”
