Guo Yanzhang accepted Zhuge Ming's lesson last time, fearing that it was a fraud. He first ordered the troops to split up and search everywhere. It was almost dawn, but Mao didn't even see a single one. The old general sighed, shook his head and said to himself:
"The little eunuch is indeed well-deserved for his reputation. He does not follow the path that others have taken, and he does not use the tricks that others have used. He adapts to circumstances and does not play according to the rules. It is difficult to deal with people!"
Although it was a waste of life and money, the team did not suffer any losses in the end, and Lao Guo felt a little relieved. When he returned to the camp and told the prime minister about the failed attempt to steal the camp, the old man said:
"This is nothing. Fortunately, the little eunuch heard the general's name and did not dare to confront him directly, so he slipped away quietly!"
After Guo Yanzhang became a famous general, he read several books on military tactics, tactics, formations, etc., so he did not believe that the little eunuch was scared away. However, after all this trouble, he also had a more thoughtful mind, and he and the little eunuch
People who are unreasonable and do not follow the rules must be very careful when fighting, otherwise they will lose their heads and think it was blown away by the wind! Guo Yanzhang thought for a while and said:
"Prime Minister, according to the general's analysis, Pan Youan's tactic is called the 'Escape and Shadow Technique', and we won't be able to find them for some time to come."
"He is still afraid." Wang Xiang said with a smile.
"Maybe I'm a little afraid, but the most important thing is that he doesn't want to fight us face to face, but looks at the opportunity and bites us from behind. This kind of tactics is very hateful and insidious." Guo Yanzhang said solemnly.
"How many troops does he have? Hey, at best, they are just collecting chicken feathers and using a duster. How many drops of blood can a bug be crushed to death?" Wang Xiang disagreed.
"Prime Minister, don't underestimate these thieves. I think there must be some masters among them." Guo Yanzhang turned a corner, changed the subject, and said with a stern face, "Prime Minister, I have heard that there is an animal in the mountains.
It's called a wolf jackal, or also a jackal. It's very small, a little bigger than a fox, but more agile and slimmer than a fox. Even though it's small, this little guy can sneak up on bears, tigers, and even thousands of enemies.
A huge buffalo."
"General Guo, aren't you just dreaming? I've read thousands of books, been a high-ranking official, and experienced countless things, but I've never heard of such strange things in the world as you mentioned!" Wang Shugui shook his head and teased.
"I have no intention of looking down on you, Prime Minister. Master Kong said that when three people are walking together, there must be one who is my master. It is definitely not that the one who talks too much is the master of Master Kong. It's just that one more person knows and hears more."
Just a few, please listen to the old prime minister and tell the story to the end."
Wang Shugui said patiently: "Okay, you tell me, I'm listening!"
"The main targets of such jackal attacks are generally not the nimble tigers and leopards, but mostly larger animals, even elephants..."
"How dare they mess with elephants?" Wang Shugui exclaimed.
"The taller the animal, the clumsier and slower it moves, so it is easier to get hold of it."
"How did they start?" Wang Shugui became interested.
"Get your butt!"
"Interesting! Could it be that you want to eat shit?" Wang Shugui shouted.
"No way! Don't talk about feces, they won't eat the meat if it's not fresh."
"So you are still a very picky guy. Can you please tell me how they behave?" Wang Xiang asked.
"Whenever it encounters a large animal, the wolf jackal moves extremely fast, and its claws are extremely sharp. It looks at the anus of the prey, and pulls out the large intestine and wraps it around the big tree. The prey suffers pain and struggles or chases desperately.
The murderer, as a result, the intestines can only be stretched longer and longer until he dies."
"High!" Prime Minister Wang shouted.
"This is exactly what the little eunuch used!" Guo Yanzhang concluded his judgment.
"No way?" Wang Shugui hesitated, "His surname Pan is not a wolf jackal, and we are not stupid cows."
Guo Yanzhang said sincerely: "Master Xiang can verify it in the future."
Wang Shugui panicked. He was afraid that someone would dig out his butt and pull out his intestines. He begged: "General, save me. I am willing to split the earth with the general and share the world."
Guo Yanzhang smiled and said: "The Prime Minister does not have to be like this. The general is not a villain who pursues profit and forgets his loyalty. He does not dare to have the ambition to become a king or a marquis. It is the duty of a general to follow the Prime Minister and be loyal to the country.
"
"General, tell me quickly, what should we do next?" Wang Shugui asked anxiously.
"Give the order, one hundred thousand people form a team, and quickly split up to find the main force of the young eunuchs."
Wang Shugui ordered Wen Shichang to direct and mobilize the army according to the plan. The 830,000-strong army had been busy for a day, but the young eunuch and his men were not seen. It was getting late, and the leading troops in each camp and village were cooking rice.
Before filling his mouth with a mouthful of rice, suddenly firecrackers, gongs and drums, pots and pots were blasting, dust was flying, and shouts were everywhere. Wen Shichang hurriedly ordered the army to gather, split up and attacked, and searched for half a night, but still found nothing. He had just settled down.
After that, the old tricks were repeated again and again for three days. Wang Shugui stood up and said angrily:
"Instruct all camps and villages to allow the enemy troops to disturb them and remain unmoved. After dinner tonight, the officers and men of all three armies will sleep with their heads covered. Anyone who goes out without permission will be killed!"
That night, the little eunuch's 50,000 elite soldiers rushed into the camp, killing and beheading them. The officers and soldiers did not dare to attack because the prime minister had spoken out, but they were killed by the little eunuch's men, and even killed several generals. Finally, the troops were counted.
Those who escaped, those who disappeared, those who were killed, captured and injured, etc., lost one hundred thousand troops in one night.
Prime Minister Wang felt regretful and summoned all the generals to discuss. Wang Shugui looked at Guo Yanzhang. The resourceful Lao Guo had no way to deal with it and could only shake his head and sigh. Seeing that no one among the generals spoke, Old Wang said angrily:
"As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it lasts only a short time. When the country is in crisis, you don't even give a shit. Before going to war, you all rolled up your arms and sleeves, patted your chest to express your love, and boasted that this one is the queen of the generals, and that one is the brave champion.
The three armies are so invincible and so brave, why are they silent now?"
Wu Shamao, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, said: "The prime minister calmed down. It's not that we are unwilling to do our best, but that we don't know how to use this power. The little eunuch Shenlong disappeared and disappeared. Our fists hit the cotton buns."
, This is called having nowhere to use your strength!”
When the generals saw someone coming forward, they boldly echoed: "Yes, yes, the prime minister must come up with a perfect strategy, otherwise this battle cannot be fought."
Prime Minister Wang had a sulky look on his face and said lukewarmly: "I asked you to make a decision, but you sent me an army. In this way, starting from tomorrow, one army will be sent to patrol in turn, and the rest of the troops will rest and sleep. Let's see.
His little eunuch still dares to come to rob the camp. How many troops should be sent to patrol? Otherwise, there should be one group of 100,000 people, divided into seven groups. Don't let the little eunuch have an advantage in numbers."
Suddenly a female general strode forward, gave Wang Shugui a brief salute, clasped her fists in her hands and said loudly:
"The Prime Minister will send me out to patrol tomorrow. Two thousand people are enough! Who dares to harass us?"
Wang Shugui looked down and couldn't help being secretly surprised: There is such a stunning woman in the world?
I don’t know how the female general will win or lose, I’ll talk about that next time.
