In the middle of the night, Li Guolou was still sleeping, so he woke Ma De completely and asked him to go to the top of Pengyuan Mountain overnight because there was an important meeting.
Li Guolou was sore all over and was wandering in his dream. His good dream was interrupted and he said vaguely: "Ma Dequan, have you asked me anything?"
"Ask! That Geshiha doesn't know anything. Deputy Commander Xu asked you to go by name." Ma Dequan handed the clothes to Li Guolou casually. The military order has been issued and must be carried out while he is still alive.
"It's not that fast, it's still raining. Let me go up the mountain with the little pole and don't call the cook." Li Guolou listened to the ticking sound on the cowhide tent. The spring rain continued, the rain continued, and it continued to rain.
I had thought of the best ending, that the returning troops in Yongyang Fucheng would be in chaos without fighting, and all the people were waiting for the wind to come. But I never thought that there would be good news in less than twenty-four hours.
Zheng Hengdan was on duty tonight, and Li Guolou took him, followed by twelve Goshiha, on horseback in the rain, heading towards Pengyuan Mountain. The Goshiha in front answered the command with the sentry, and took out the
Token verification, passing through strict sentries, and climbing up the hillside.[
"Grandma's grandma, Deputy Marshal Xu will enjoy it, but we have suffered." Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied when he climbed the mountain in the rain in the middle of the night, complaining loudly. His military boots stepped on the muddy road, making it very difficult to walk.
The people next to him seemed to be mute, and no one spoke. With the light of the oil lamp, a group of Goshiha escorted Li Guolou up the mountain.
Zheng Hengdan wanted to remind Li Guolou not to speak ill of his commander behind his back. He swallowed his words again. Soldiers have a habit of swearing, so Li Guolou was allowed to use his sharp tongue.
Huang Ding met Li Guolou at the gate of Dishui Cave and said with a smile: "Master Li, good news, your one hundred thousand taels of silver have paid off. There is civil strife in Huizi, and a group of generals are going to revolt on the battlefield."
Li Guolou grinned widely and complained loudly: "Zodiac Master, you can just inform me of this kind of thing tomorrow. I don't need to come to listen in the middle of the night, and we won't have to fight so soon."
"Hey, you don't know, they are more anxious than us. The man who came is called Cao Keding, and he is here to negotiate on behalf of Cao Zhongquan. I specifically want to see you by name because I want to know how much money they can make by defecting on the battlefield. That guy is very good at negotiating.
Yes, Deputy Marshal Xu promised to let him be a camp officer in the future." Huang Ding looked at the people entering the cave, holding a ladle and drinking ginger tea. This was specially used by him to ward off the cold for Li Guolou and his party, as winter and spring get warmer.
During this time, it is easy to get sick.
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Zodiac, I'll tell you the truth. My negotiation skills are average and I don't like to bargain with others. It's you who will make the final decision later. I'll go around in circles with that guy."
Huang Ding explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then met with Cao Keding. After some bargaining, Cao Keding began to draw a defense map of Yongyang Fucheng. He actually drew the positions of each artillery piece and the personnel configuration.
It is clear and clear, the weapons and equipment, and the total number of horses are vividly displayed on the paper.
Li Guolou took a look and saw that the handwriting was beautiful and the map looked decent. He couldn't help but praise: "Cao Keding, you are a rare military talent. You will work hard under Deputy Commander Xu in the future. General Qian and Deputy General will be very good."
I'll be there soon."
"Thank you for the compliment, Chief Li. I like fighting the most, so I don't want to live in peace and prosperity. Being a battalion officer is my lowest goal. I will serve Deputy Marshal Xu from now on, and I will fight to the death." Cao Keding stood aside respectfully, with a very respectful expression.
. From the tense look when he first arrived, he slowly relaxed. The Qing generals were not ferocious evil spirits, they were much better than he had imagined.
"Very good, very good, very promising." Li Guolou nodded slightly and patted Cao Keding's shoulders a few times, as if he was very interested in Cao Keding's future, and his love for talents was overflowing. In fact, he was thinking in his heart: The talented capitulationists are
There is a sharp sword hanging over the Qing Dynasty, and it will strike back at any time. Let Cao Keding be used as cannon fodder as soon as possible, Song Jiang, who surrendered, will not die, and Song Huizong will have trouble sleeping and eating. Let Cao Keding go to see God, Amen!
After asking Cao Keding about the situation in Yongyang Mansion City, it was already bright. Xu Zhanbiao, Huang Ding, Guo Baochang, Li Guolou and other senior generals were eating noodles and studying the map.
The military deployment of the Qing army underwent earth-shaking changes overnight. Xu Zhanbiao's distribution of troops failed to achieve the goal of annihilating the returning troops and defending the enemy. The original strategic deployment was to use Sanque Yi as a bait to lure the main force of the returning troops to escape.
The army occupied Yongyang Fucheng as the main body.
In the pursuit battle, destroy as much of the main force of the returning army as possible. Now Xu Zhanbiao has a big appetite. He aims to eliminate the fifth commander Chen Lin and the seventh commander Feng Junfu. He has taken a fancy to the main force of the returning army. The 4,000-man cavalry force is a huge piece of fat.
Meat is another difficult bone to chew.
A difficult problem was put in front of them. When several generals were asked to eat noodles, they were all thinking about how to allocate their troops. The returning cavalry was too mobile and it was difficult to eliminate the main force of the returning cavalry in mobile warfare.
Xu Zhanbiao put down his big bowl, licked his mouth and said: "The west of Yongyang Fucheng is a plain suitable for cavalry maneuvers. What do you think about how to cut off the retreat of the returning army?"
"My cavalry can fight and fight hard. There is no problem in wiping out part of the main force of the returning army. The key is that the returning cavalry will flee in mobile warfare and we can't stop them." Guo Baochang shook his head and said that the actual situation is very difficult and clear.
The army cavalry was pulled out to confront the return army cavalry, but they could only cut off a piece of flesh from the return army cavalry.
"Can we dig a hole?" Li Guolou thought of a good way to deal with the cavalry.
"Hey! How much labor force will be mobilized to work in the plains to the west? Do you know how big a hole one person can dig in a day? I think you have lost your mind due to studying and are a pedantic scholar, so you should save some time." Guo Baochang shouted.
They ridiculed Li Guolou and dug holes in the plain area. This was an arbitrary act and not realistic. During the charge, several ditches would be filled with corpses, but the cavalry could still fight their way out.
Li Guolou looked at the topographical map with a ferocious smile, and sneered: "No matter how high the sky is, how bold the people are, then let's play a big game and win directly through chaos, and stab the knives into Shishe Town in Zou Baohe.
Occupy Shishe Town and take the entire Dong
The battle situation in Zhiyuan was completely disrupted, and then the cavalry was sent out in all directions, burning, killing and looting, leaving the returning army unable to figure out our strength. As long as the main force of the returning army escapes towards Jinji Fort, we can occupy the entire Dong Zhiyuan area in the shortest possible time."[
Counselor Gao was startled and said anxiously: "Sir Li, you must not let the returning troops jump over the wall to attack us. Then all our main forward forces will be destroyed. Even if your plan succeeds and you capture Shishe Town, how can the cavalry defend it?"
Live in a town."
"We don't have to go to extremes in war. Now that we are strong, we can scare people. Zhuge Kongming's empty city plan is based on defeat, which is false at first sight. But what about us? With victory as a guarantee, the returning army will be suspicious and think we are
We have increased our troops again, and the chance that they will not dare to attack us has greatly increased. It is definitely more than 50%. Deputy Commander Xu, according to Commander Zuo's strategic plan, will fight step by step and occupy the territory by autumn.
With less than half of Dong Zhiyuan, winter is the truce period, and the 200,000 Hui people can still sustain it. Although my move is risky, it can disrupt the entire defense system of the Hui army, and the summer offensive can be launched in advance. If I were Marshal Ma, I would
He ran away with his tail and went to the dock to recognize his elder brother. How dare he declare himself king." Li Guolou pointed at the map with both hands and pointed out the direction on the map. He spoke with the air of a general and eloquently.
/
It was horrifying to see that they actually launched a sneak attack on the high loess slopes of Dong Zhiyuan, treating the sixteenth commander Zou Baohe as a piece of fish and letting him slaughter him.
Xu Zhanbiao glanced at him and said, "Li Guolou, how confident are you?"
Li Guolou thought for a while and said: "Deputy Commander Xu, when it comes to certainty, it's less than 10%, but that's what war is like. The less certain things are, the less people will do them. Zou Baohe wouldn't think that I would do it."
He has taken a fancy to his hometown, Shishe Town, and as long as he lets me in, I can fuck him all over with his feet up in the air."
Hearing Li Guolou say dirty words, several generals laughed. If you stay in an environment like the army, people will become dirty. Huang Ding was thinking about Li Guolou's bold move, and he was a little tempted, so he said:
"I can see it too
As a consideration, Imam Zou is older, and older people will make calculations. The clearer the calculation, the more likely it will fail. Deputy Marshal Xu, this can also be used as a conspiracy. Let's have a meeting and play it out. Who is Zhao Zilong who is full of courage? Hehe
hey-hey!"
Li Guolou touched his nose and sat down to eat noodles again. Whether he listened or not was a matter for Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao. Anyway, he risked his life and fought hard. In war, justice is the way and surprise is the strategy. When taking the initiative,
, I don’t like to use strange moves or risky moves. But just because I don’t use them,
Only then will there be surprising results. This is the same as a last-ditch battle. Most people who use this trick end up in failure. This is also a harm caused by the art of war. The art of war pays attention to the virtual and the real, which is the two sides of things, losing and winning.
One strategy, but very different results.
Sometimes fighting depends on luck. Being familiar with the art of war means understanding that things can develop from two completely different aspects. Success starts with talking on paper.
Xu Zhanbiao asked: "Guo Baochang, what do you think?"
"I'm in doubt." Guo Baochang shook his head and sighed. He did not want to do this loss-making business and told Xu Zhanbiao bluntly that his cavalry troops did not approve of surprise attacks.
Xu Zhanbiao already knew what Huang Ding was thinking. As the decision-maker along the way, he had to have the final say. His subordinates would formulate various plans and put multiple-choice questions in front of him. He would be responsible for all the mistakes, whether they were right or wrong.
"Then play it out a few times and let me see what the fruits of victory are after a 10% chance of winning." Xu Zhanbiao was undecided. If he acted according to Li Guolou's plan, he would use his main force of Sichuan cavalry. Should he take risks and test his strength?
The time has come. As soldiers, we all like to take the Great Leap Forward like Huo Qubing and Li Jing. But with the opportunity right in front of us, how many people would take such a risk?
How many soldiers would be willing to gamble with a 10% chance of winning? Xu Zhanbiao looked at Li Guolou who was eating noodles. He misjudged Li Guolou's character. He originally thought that Li Guolou held Li Ziying as a treasure in his mouth.
, is a miser character, but at this time he took action and actually wanted to make a surprise attack on Huijun's lair. He was so courageous, no wonder he dared to come to the front line to fight. As Huang Ding said, he was indeed a character like Changshan Zhao Zilong.
After finishing a bowl of noodle soup, Li Guolou jumped up, slapped Guo Baochang on the head with his hand, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, you are a coward."
On the contrary, Guo Baochang was calm and sat still. He said: "We have different paths and we should not seek each other's will. Chief Li, I will send you a blessing. If you win, you must win in an upright and upright manner. Do you understand? Idiot."
"Bullshit! It's not a duel between Western knights." Li Guolou ignored Guo Baochang and went to do a war reenactment with Huang Ding. This was actually similar to playing chess. The chess pieces were soldiers and horses. The two of them placed the chess pieces, and the counselor next to him read out the words of returning to the army.
Various data allow Li Guolou or Huang Ding to make a decision.
Judging from the staffing, there is a 10% chance of winning, but there is no chance of winning during the performance. Li Guolou can only use his eloquent tongue to belittle Huijun, and then try his best to improve himself. In the end, he really can't say anything.
Well, he even resisted the tricks used by Counselor Gao.
Unable to stop himself, he quibbled: "Deputy Commander Xu, I am confident that I can occupy Shishe Town and nail it there like a wedge. I can also recruit those wavering capitulationists. Using barbarians to control barbarians is what I am best at doing.
The capitulationists will have a sense of belonging here."
Huang Ding nodded at the side, indicating that he wanted to take a risk. He agreed with Li Guolou's plan to surprise Shishe Town and prepared to lead the team himself to capture Shishe Town. The smaller the chance, the richer the fruits.
Xu Zhanbiao scratched his head and said: "What a ghost. How come I met you two who are living a good life and are doing such stupid things? Let me think about it. The strategies are divided into upper, middle and lower. Which one do you think this belongs to?"
"The best policy! A successful battle will break the returning army's determination to resist." Li Guolou said firmly.
"At least we are in charge, Deputy Marshal Xu. We are also cavalry. At worst, we can survive in the wild. We have surrenderers leading the way and will not go to the dead end to kill horses to satisfy hunger. Failure to defeat him will also make Zou Imam waver and dare not
Those who step out of Shishe Town are looking for trouble for us. Older people are afraid of death. Zou
I have studied Baohe. He is not a staunch nationalist, but just an opportunist. Zou Baohe is the one we want to win over." Huang Ding looked at the different tactics used by his opponents and evaluated the characters of the eighteen marshals who returned to the army.
We know very well that among the eighteen marshals there are tough guys and there are weaklings.
"Let's go catch fish. Chief Li, I don't have your share. Let's go back to the camp and eat your mutton." Xu Zhanbiao put aside the war and still had time to consider that three meals a day is a major event in life. He led a group of generals down the mountain.
, to see the fish and shrimp caught by the Qing army.[
"Hehe!" Li Guolou laughed evilly and followed behind the officer. Whatever he said was just a fart. How could he be left out if there was a fish to eat?
