Huo Qubing divided his troops to defend and won by waiting for work.
Zhang Xiaoyuan, in turn, used the same method to ask Huo Qubing.
If Huo Qubing had no good plan, then he would win one and lose one. Although it was a trick, he could still save a little face after all, and it would not be so ugly.
Give me 50,000 cavalry, and I can break the entire defense line into a sieve and turn it into a battle of annihilation... Huo Qubing suddenly felt funny: "Give me 50,000 soldiers?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaoyuan said bravely.
"If you are not able to defeat its power, you will eliminate its momentum and counteract the signs of the lower body and the upper body."
Huo Qubing glanced at Zhang Xiaoyuan, who looked blank:
"Don't understand? It means that since the city of Daijun has a strong wall, then we should bypass Daijun and break the situation from other aspects. If we don't have an advantage in the battle situation, we should break the enemy from outside the situation, such as attacking its grain road. This strategy is A military strategist's strategy is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron!
The most classic battle example is Cao..."
He almost told Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao in later generations, but Huo Qubing changed his story temporarily:
"The key point of this strategy is to attack the heart and seize the qi to fundamentally solve the problem. Wei Liaozi, a strategist in the Warring States Period, said: If the qi is strong, it will fight, but if the qi is taken away, it will go away. The method of seizing qi is to attack the heart.
First break down the morale that supports the enemy, wait until the enemy's morale is shaken and their combat effectiveness declines, and then attack the enemy head-on.
If the food and grass are burned, the morale of your defenders will be low, and the people will be scattered. Determining victory or defeat without fighting will draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron!"
Zhang Xiaoyuan still wanted to make a desperate struggle: "How can the grain road be destroyed so easily?"
"According to convention, every time the Xiongnu troops march south, it is in the autumn after the grassland harvest. If I command the troops, I will dispatch a small number of elites one month in advance to form a cavalry and go south."
Zhang Xiaoyuan insisted: "This strategy of yours is not unusual. Although the Xiongnu attack more often in the autumn, before each large-scale march south, they would first send a group of rangers to raid our border with the Han Dynasty to explore the reality.
I thought Huo Shizhong had another clever plan, but it turned out to be the same as the Xiongnu's strategy."
Huo Qubing said: "Dai County itself is not a place with abundant grain harvests. Every time the Xiongnu comes to attack in the autumn harvest, I, the Han, also come to defend it in the autumn harvest. Both sides have to collect grain at this time.
I dispatched the Xiongnu elite cavalry to go south. At the right time, the Han Dynasty was preparing for war, and food and grass from various places were quickly transferred to the northern front. My team, with coins in their horses' mouths and each person carrying a bunch of firewood, took advantage of the night to attack the Han army's food transportation route before the battle. .
During the surprise attack, firewood was suddenly lit to attack the Han army's grain, grass and baggage."
Zhang Xiaoyuan said in astonishment: "The grain road must be heavily escorted, and the route is secretive. How can you attack it if you want?"
"The Huaxia and the Huns have been fighting for many years. How can the Huns not know where the grain reserves are transported to Dai County every year? Furthermore, a team of rangers I sent will prepare Han army flags in advance to confuse the enemy and attack at night.
The northern border of our land in China is very long, and a Xiongnu team of more than a thousand people was broken into pieces and sneaked in. How many times has it happened in the past?"
Everyone in the palace was thinking about Huo Qubing's strategy.
In the past, when China and the Xiongnu fought against each other, the Xiongnu would break through the defense line to a greater or lesser extent almost every year. There were countless examples of successful plundering.
In other words, Huo Qubing's strategy is still very feasible.
There are also prefabricated Han flags to confuse the enemy. It is a very simple strategy, but unless you have real experience in facing the enemy, it is difficult to think of such details.
When Huo Qubing spoke, he pushed the Qi machine through the air and merged into the soldier slip again.
The soldier's slip changed, suddenly burning up with simulated flames, and showing that the grain path was damaged, once again it was judged that Huo Qubing's strategy was effective.
In fact, if Huo Qubing were allowed to lead the troops, there would be no need for these strategies at all. He would break through the defenses with lightning power, as fast as lightning, or make a roundabout way to attack the enemy's henchmen!
The use of military strategy deductions greatly weakened his actual marching ability.
Zhang Xiaoyuan stared blankly at the derivation script and sentenced him to lose.
If Huo Qubing was the main attacker, he would raid the grain road before the war started. He had imitated Huo Qubing's defensive strategy before and had no chance to use it.
If Huo Qubing were the head coach, it seemed reasonable to play whatever he wanted.
There was silence in the hall. Gongsun Ao, Zhang Qian and others all cast admiring glances at Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing not only won two battles, but also won the same battle in the same environment using both the offensive and defensive sides. He was able to use tactics and military techniques at his fingertips.
With different offensive and defensive ends, victory is easy.
Zhang Xiaoyuan's expression was even more exciting than in the previous confrontation, with red and white colors at the same time, and he was completely ashamed.
Huo Qubing glanced at everyone: "The military strategist's method of calculation refers to the strategic planning before the war.
Everyone can say that soldiers use deceitful methods, but how to use it depends on adapting to the situation. The method of military strategy deduction set by your Confucianism consciously uses Sun Wu's "Five Things and Seven Strategies" and "Twelve Deceitful Ways"
Can we deduce victory or defeat on the battlefield by using "shu" as a rule?
Huo Qubing said disdainfully: "This kind of strategic deduction is so ridiculous, like a three-year-old child claiming to be a great Confucian.
The battlefield is ever-changing, but you use some dead rules, talk about war on paper, talk about the deductions with great relish, feel complacent, and are proud of the winner, thinking that you have really won the battle. If the Huns were here, they would probably die laughing."
When he said this, not only did Zhang Xiaoyuan look like he was about to vomit blood and die, but Taichang Zhou Ping also turned slightly pale.
Including Bai Yu, a disciple of Dong Zhongshu on the opposite side.
The rest of the people were beaming with joy, and Prime Minister Liu almost clapped his hands.
Liu Xi opened her moist mouth and pursed her lips tightly.
Gongsun Jingsheng, who was clumsy just now, clenched his fists and felt excited.
"There is a saying that empty talk harms the country. You are qualified to talk about military affairs. If you really like military affairs and want to fight with foreigners, why not abandon your writing and join the army, join the army on the front line, and fight with the enemy!"
When Huo Qubing said this, the sound of needles dropping could be heard in the hall, and some people began to feel their scalps numb and their hairs standing on end.
There are also people who are repeating softly, empty talk will harm the country, abandon the pen and join the army. These two sentences are thought-provoking, and the bells in the morning and the drums in the evening.
These two sentences sound simple at first, but the more you read them, the more profound they become.
This time, even the Hu man next to Zhang Qian showed surprise in his eyes.
Huo Qubing was sitting there, his tone was as calm as before:
"I only dare to hide in a comfortable place, have fun by deducing military strategies, pretend that I know the soldiers, and laugh at the frontline soldiers for not being able to lead the army.
You are worthy enough to talk about war, and do you dare to talk about war?"
Zhang Xiaoyuan has lost two of his souls, his body is on the verge of collapse, and his psychological shadow is so great that he will never forget it.
Bai Yu couldn't help but look angry, and stood up suddenly: "Do you think Huo Shizhong is looking down on Confucianism?"
"So what?"
"Confucianism is one of the hundred schools of thought, and I agree with its thoughts. I do not reject Confucius, Xunzi and other sages. Confucianism has its own reasons for its existence, but I do look down on you who are studying Confucianism.
Well, thanks to you, China would have perished long ago."
Huo Qubing stood up slowly and said to Zhang Qian: "Marquis Bowang has opened up the passage between our Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. This move will have a positive impact on the Han Dynasty and future generations. I came here to congratulate Marquis Bowang. Now that the matter is over, there will be no more
Stay."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Liu Qian's attendant stood up from his position and was about to speak when he heard Bai Yu step forward and shouted: "Huo Shizhong."
Huo Qubing didn't even turn around and said, "You also want to deduce military strategies with me?"
"No, I admit that I am not as good as you in military affairs."
Bai Yu took a few steps quickly and stood in front of Huo Qubing: "What you just meant is that you not only look down on me as a Confucian, but you also claim to be a famous general."
"If you really fight against the Xiongnu, how sure are you of defeating the enemy?"
The Xiongnu are now at the height of their power, and most of the countries in the Western Regions are also under their control. Their vast territory is not inferior to that of the Han Dynasty. In terms of military strength, although Wei Qing has won several battles in recent years, it has not completely reversed the Xiongnu's dominance.
and the situation among the Han people.
The Huns are still strong and aggressive.
No matter how Huo Qubing responded, it was inappropriate. To say that the Huns were nothing more than this was to be empty talk. If he said that the Huns were powerful, then what he just said would be in vain, and it meant that he himself was nothing more than that.
Huo Qubing ignored Bai Yu and started to walk away.
At this time, Bai Yu took out something from his sleeve: "Huo Shizhong is so conceited, but he thinks he can compare with Sun Wu, Lu Zu, and the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. How do you think he compares to you?"
So what if your uncle Wei Qing is better than you?"
He raised the thing in his hand and said: "This is something made by my master Dong Fuzi himself. In order to clear up your reputation as a military strategist, I have asked me to come to Chang'an to present it to Your Majesty. Do you dare to try it first?"
Something made by Master Dong!
Everyone in the hall looked at Bai Yu's hand at the same time.
He also held a simple book in his hand, but it was not used for military strategy deductions, and the aura it exuded was extremely powerful.
