According to the established strategy, Qi Yu deliberately adjusted the route and speed of the advance to guide the Donglu army to develop closer to the direction set for the battle of the plains.
If you think about it from another perspective, the enemy will never let go of such a good opportunity to benefit themselves.
From their point of view, holding on to the city is the most undesirable result, so they must complete the layout of the foreign war as soon as possible.
Mr. Qi, who was kind and considerate, also gave them sufficient preparation time.
Taking advantage of this free time, he specially sent someone to send a letter to the great master Kim Liufu of the Goryeo Kingdom.
The letter said: Above the temples, rotten trees serve as officials, and between the palaces and majesties, animals and beasts eat their salary; people with wolf-hearted and dog-like behavior are in power, and servile and servile people are in charge of government. As a result, the people of Goryeo are in ruins. I look forward to the country.
For the sake of the common people in the world, the teacher abandons darkness and turns to the light, and does his best to make the world a bright one. If Gao Li attaches great importance to it, he will definitely recommend it to the Holy One and give him generous salaries to high-ranking officials throughout his life. He will never break his promise.
In addition to the above promises, Qi Yu also offered a temptation that the other party could not refuse: In addition, he would also give away ten kilograms of drug as a reward for his hard work.
No matter whether Jin Liufu would eventually persuade the King of Koryo to surrender, it is certain that he would consider his future. As long as he was distracted, the Koryo army's defense would reveal fatal flaws.
And Qi Jingjun will benefit from this.
If nothing else, this clever move will definitely produce miraculous results.
Okay, let’s get back to the present.
While making relevant arrangements, Qi Yu also specially selected several old and weak soldiers who were proficient in gunpowder from the army and asked them to participate in a secret research work.
As for what kind of weird things he was studying, he did not explain.
This is highly confidential and cannot be made public.
However, what is certain is that this object must be closely related to the subsequent battle, there is no doubt about this.
Seven or eight days passed like this.
One after another, good news about Qi Jingjun began to arrive.
It is said that the two sides have begun a preliminary exploration battle, but there is no actual winner.
The fact is that after the two armies made some minor contact, they each paid their dues and retreated. The Mobei Army did not take advantage of the situation to catch up, and the Goryeo Army did not launch a counterattack.
It can be seen that both sides are focused on preserving their strength. No one is willing to reveal their trump cards before they are absolutely sure.
For Qi Jing, spending time appropriately is very beneficial to himself.
As long as the Jiaodong Army cooperates properly, the corresponding situation can be created and the Goryeo Army will be exhausted to deal with it. At that time, the Mobei Army only needs to concentrate on applying pressure to find opportunities to defeat the enemy.
Compared with Qi Jingjun's troops and their speed, Qi Yu's side seemed a little loose.
The Qiong army arrived first but lagged behind. This was no ordinary grind.
Not only is the grinding slow, but there are also adverse phenomena that delay fighter jets.
Until all the Donglu troops were on defense, Qi Yu still did not sound the clarion call to attack.
In the eyes of others, this is a missed opportunity to strike first.
"Master Qi, in the previous Battle of Fuso, you pursued speed as much as possible to catch the opponent off guard. How come you no longer pursue speed when you get to Goryeo?"
"Military tactics are all based on the actual situation. There is neither a fixed model nor a so-called template. Everything must be judged according to the situation and tailored to the situation. Now is the time to be slow."
Fast, of course, is optional.
However, no matter how fast you are, you can't move the opponent's cavalry faster!
The so-called quick battle can only gain an advantage in the game at most, but it cannot influence the entire battle situation. It is a small advantage but does not make any money.
Since you are not seeking speed, you might as well do the opposite and make the other party unconsciously fall into the rhythm you want.
Moreover, this also meets the needs of my own tactics.
It can be said that they complement each other!
"Yes! Your opinions are all right!" Huang Fei laughed, as if he was blindly convinced.
As soon as his voice changed, he asked again: "So, what should we do next?"
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Recently, there seem to be some bad rumors, saying that I only use conspiracy and conspiracy in wars, and never dare to start a fair and just military duel. I can't bear this kind of malicious slander! Since
, the world has such a big prejudice against me, then I will open my mind and be frank, and have a gentleman's battle with the Donglu army without any conspiracy."
"A battle between gentlemen? How do you say this?" Huang Fei looked confused and asked hurriedly.
"In this way, send someone to write a letter of war to the Donglu army, saying that we will have a fair and just military contest. In order to show our sincerity, the time and place will be determined by the other party."
"What? It's up to the other party to decide?"
"Well, only in this way will the other side believe that this is really a battle between gentlemen. Only in this way will they dare to put down their scruples and come out in full force, and then use their superiority in military strength to fight us to the death!"
Lure the other party out in full force?
Upon hearing this, Huang Fei's eyes immediately flashed.
If your guess is correct, this sentence is the real purpose of Qi Yu. As for the gentleman's posture, it is just a bait to lure the Donglu army to press on him.
When they gather together to annihilate them, it will definitely be a bloody massacre like cutting leeks.
It can be seen that Lao Huang did not believe in this so-called battle between gentlemen at all.
For so many years, Mr. Qi has always advocated war without getting tired of deceit, and there is absolutely no chance of such a sudden and temporary change. Even though what he said was ridiculous, Huang Fei firmly believed that it was a smoke bomb that he deliberately released.
First let’s talk about issuing a gauntlet to the enemy.
In this section, Qi Yu personally wrote a moral article in the Guange style of forty-six parallel prose.
Apart from nonsense such as "If people from far away are dissatisfied, then cultivate virtue and come here", there is only one real saying: You set a time and a place, and we will have a showdown, which is fair and just.
As expected, Qi Dalang's act of paying homage first and then attacking led to an explosion within the Donglu people.
In an instant, heated discussions arose.
Tell me, tell me, what kind of medicine is Qi Yu selling in this gourd?
However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out the reason.
Since the other party has given up the initiative to itself, what else is there to doubt?
As for why Qi Yu did this, most of them believed that it might have something to do with the discord between him and the emperor Li Hongyu. It was precisely for this reason that he decided to do a perfunctory trick.
Give it a beating and then get away with it intact.
The rough result should be like this.
With Qi Yu's intelligence, he would never be able to kill himself by throwing an egg at a stone.
