Crossing the Yangtze River to the south, a few people are really good at economics. The old people of Chang'an, the scenery of Xinting, are still pitiful. The Yifu people, Shenzhou and the land, have looked back several times. Counting thousands of miles of peace and military, their fame is what they are, true Confucianism, you know
no.
——Excerpt from "Shuilongyin·Jiachen Suishou Hannanjian Shangshu" by Xin Qiji
…
After the night banquet, Bai Fu came to the ruined beacon. According to his request, the soldiers set up a tent for Bai Fu here.
Climbing to the top of the beacon tower, you will see stars filling the sky and arching down, making the wilderness more open.
The dazzling Milky Way hangs in the center of the dome. Against the dark blue night sky, the Milky Way shows reddish-brown and pale purple spots. It is magnificent, vast, mysterious, and endlessly imaginative.
Bai Fu thought: "Thousands of years ago, Li Mu also saw this Milky Way here. The Milky Way is the same Milky Way, and the beacon is still the same beacon. The only difference is the people looking at the Milky Way.
Thousands of years later, he himself has turned into dust, but the Milky Way still stretches across the universe.
I wonder if those who board the beacon tower in future generations will be able to sense my existence today..."
Under the starry sky, Bai Fu sat cross-legged and meditated, slightly closing his eyes, holding the Military Seal with his hands, silently using the guidance of Xuan Gong, and soon entered the fetal breath state.
As expected by Bai Fu, Li Mu, a military disciple, followed the rules of the sect, and after offering sacrifices to the battlefield, he used the method of sealing the town to create a war mound at Yanmen Pass. The origins of the battle at Yanmen Pass, the method of using troops, and the strategies for success were sealed in the war mound.
.
Today, when Bai Fu saw the ancient fortress beacons, he was immediately inspired, so he decided to pitch his tent here.
After finding the battle tomb, Bai Fu followed the skills taught by Master Zhongsi and guided Li Mu's real battle sealed in the battle tomb, and engraved it on the acupoints in his mind to build a secret realm of military territory.
This was the first time Bai Fu led a battle from the battlefield, and the overall picture of the battle he guided was clearer and more detailed than what Master Zhongji transferred to Bai Fu.
Suddenly and suddenly, Bai Fuyuan Shen fell through the clouds and landed in front of Yanmen Pass:
Li Mu was stationed in Dai County and Yanmen County to prevent the Xiongnu. Li Mu treated his soldiers well, trained them strictly, conducted frequent reconnaissance, kept his war-free card, and stayed behind closed doors for ten years without fighting.
Because Li Mu retreated all the people near Yanmen Pass into the camp, the walls were fortified and the wilderness was cleared, so the Huns' attacks and harassment were all in vain.
After several years of operation, Li Mu's border troops were strong and their morale was high. The border had been quiet for several years, and the Huns could not grab anything, so they gradually became slack.
Seeing that the time was right, Li Mu decided to fight decisively.
This battle is the battle chosen by Li Mu. It is a decisive battle in which all the troops are mobilized. It is a battle that is decided without a fight.
Li Mu selected 1,300 chariots, 13,000 horses, 50,000 infantrymen who were brave enough to charge into battle, and 100,000 archers who were good at shooting.
Li Mu adopted the tactic of luring the enemy deep into the territory and first sent a large number of herdsmen to drive their livestock to graze. The Huns sent a small group of men and horses to plunder, but Li Muyang pretended to be defeated and deliberately abandoned thousands of people to the Huns.
After winning a small victory, the Xiongnu began to underestimate the enemy, and Shanyu led a large number of troops to invade south.
Li Mu deployed a large number of surprise troops to outflank the Xiongnu from the left and right wings, and defeated the Xiongnu's 100,000 cavalry in one fell swoop. Li Mu took advantage of the victory to attack Xiubai, defeated Donghu, and surrendered to Linhu. The Xiongnu chanyu fled in despair.
For more than ten years after that, the Huns did not dare to invade the border.
…
In the battle tomb, Li Mu's image was lifelike. When he saw someone breaking into the battle tomb, he faced the intruder and said slowly:
"Being able to enter the battlefield means that you are a disciple of a military strategist. I don't know how many years have passed since you. I just hope that in your era, there will be no flames of war.
I have gained some experience in military service throughout my life, and I hope I can learn from it for you.
First, a true general will be determined in one battle.
The way of a military strategist emphasizes the importance of deciding in one battle. The key to war is to accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and decide in one battle.
It is not a good thing to win every battle. If the victory is uncertain, the state affairs still cannot be solved, and money and food have to be spent to continue fighting. This kind of victory is meaningless!
Secondly, being unable to wait is a huge character flaw.
I have not gone to war for ten years. What has Zhao lost? Nothing has been lost, but the soldiers are anxious, the Huns are anxious, and the King of Zhao is anxious, and even dismissed me for a time.
Therefore, as a general, the most important thing to be careful about is not your opponent, but your general's intention. What can destroy you the most is not your enemy, but your anxiety.
Third, those who were good at fighting in the past were first invincible, waiting for the enemy to be victorious. The invincible lies with oneself, but the victorious lies with the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible and cannot make the enemy victorious. Therefore, it is said: Victory
It can be known but cannot be done.
But if there is no winning situation, don't force it. If you can't win, don't go to war.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Not taking action does not mean inaction, but doing practical things: one is to prepare, and the other is to wait.
Preparation is your own business, accumulate strength, train troops and horses, and boost morale. Make yourself invincible and become stronger and stronger.
Waiting, in many cases, is the best option.
It is a pity that for thousands of years, very few people can understand this.
wait for what?
Wait for the situation to change, wait for the enemy to make a mistake, and wait for the opportunity to appear.
As soon as the enemy makes a mistake, the chance of victory will appear. If the enemy does not make a mistake, it will be difficult for us to win, or the cost of victory will be too high, so it is better to wait a little longer."
…
What Li Mu learned throughout his life is as vast as a library. Especially during his military life, he had hundreds of battles on the battlefield and gained rich experience. Many battles are clearly sealed in battle tombs.
In addition to the art of war and battles, Li Mu's battle tomb also contains maps of the mountains and rivers of Dai County and Yanmen County, ranging from the Yanshan Mountains to the small rivers and ditches.
Where to ambush and where to camp, everything is clearly marked.
Bai Fu is like finding a treasure, and he has gained a lot.
When Li Mu's figure was about to disappear, he pressed the scabbard, and the sword popped out from the sword case with a clang. The sword light bloomed, and it was cold and cold.
Li Mu repeated the dialogue: "Within a hundred miles of the battlefield, there are homeless ghosts everywhere.
Tonight, outside Yanmen Pass, murderous intent is permeating the air, flashes of light appear, there should be many ambush troops, you should be careful!"
After saying that, Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared from the secret realm of the military realm.
Li Mu's soul is warning, so you must pay attention.
Bai Fu opened his eyes and leaned out of the battlement. In the darkest place outside Yanmen Pass, will-o'-the-wisps flickered and erratic. Bai Fu immediately became alert.
Bai Fu found Eagle Eye and asked him to release Hai Dongqing.
The eagle-eyed Haidongqing was the sharpest falcon in the Tang army. Even at night, Haidongqing could fly into the sky for reconnaissance. After a cup of tea, Haidongqing soared thousands of feet in the sky and emitted an unusual eagle cry.
Bai Fu issued a secret order to secure the Beiting Army and put the entire army on secret alert. The enemy will attack the camp tonight!
Feng Teng, the guard at Yanmen Pass, received the news and hurriedly came over to ask: "General Bai, according to the military information I have, the rebels stationed in Yunzhou (today's Datong) have not made any changes.
In the past two days, there have been no strange signs on the beacon towers along the Great Wall, so how could there be a strong enemy?"
Bai Fu looked solemn and said: "I don't know who the other party is. But this large force can lurk in front of Yanmen Pass without being discovered. They are definitely not ordinary rebels.
This march is highly confidential. Only a few people inside and outside the court know the march route of our army.
The other party actually predicted our marching route and time, and ambushed here in advance, preparing to ambush us. It's not easy!"
General Feng Teng said: "Even if the opponent has an ambush, they will definitely ambush outside the pass, such as the Sanggan River or La Valley area.
We have Yanmen Pass to guard the natural barrier, and the other side will definitely not dare to climb the Great Wall tonight and attack rashly."
Bai Fu smiled and said: "If we think this way, our opponents will think the same way. They predict that we will relax our vigilance on the eve of our departure.
If the opponent can sneak under the pass city quietly, he must have a plan to break the city and attack by surprise.
If my prediction is correct, there must be a ghost among the defenders of Yanmen Pass."
After hearing this, Feng Teng looked solemn and said, "I'm going to count the number of people right now. If there's anyone inside, they're definitely not in the camp at this time."
Bai Fu advised: "General Feng, be careful not to arouse the enemy. Since there is a spy, we might as well take advantage of it!"
After that, whisper next to Feng Teng...

Kuang Youwen is fighting in the mountains. Facing Tongyin, the courtyard is full of clear day. I fell to the ground back then, but now I look at it, the wind and clouds are rushing around. The green fields are windy and smoke, the grass and trees in the plain springs, and the songs and wine in the east mountain. In the next year, I will put things in order, and I wish you a long life.
