He Ran looked at the geographical map he had sketched of this area and asked without raising his head: "Sibu, if the enemy wants to bypass our station and reach Geqiong in the shortest time, how will they bypass it?"
Sibu replied without hesitation: "Go west, and there is a valley thirty miles away. Although it is not as wide as here, the army can still pass through. The defenders here said that the king has sent a force of 3,000 people.
The soldiers and horses went to defend."
"What more?"
Si Bu pointed at the geographical map and explained: "Going further west, many places are accessible, but the roads are narrower, and the mountain roads are not suitable for riding. However, there are no mountains a hundred miles away, and there is a sphere of influence there.
To the east, the mountains are much higher, and there are only passable canyons more than a hundred miles away. I don’t think Xin Yantuliang would go there, because after passing the mountains, there are hundreds of miles of swampland, and there are only a few
There is a place for walking, but herdsmen who are familiar with the swamp don’t dare to walk in easily.”
He Ran raised his head and stared at the sky and was silent for a long time. Dongfang Ao whispered: "Military strategist, Fan people are not good at attacking fortresses. Although the terrain here is not very dangerous, we have 20,000 people who can hold it firmly. Military strategist can lead the army together with King Fan."
To the west, choose a place that the detour must pass through to set up an ambush."
He Ran slowly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late. Besides, although the Fan people are not good at attacking fortresses, the Zhao people are good at it. Don't forget this. Xin Yan will probably be assisted by the Zhao people's troops here."
."
"How many troops does the military advisor estimate the Zhao people will send?" Dongfang Ao asked calmly.
"It won't be too much. Xin Yan's strength is superior. There is no need for the Zhao people to let their own people fight. It's enough to use good soldiers. But it's troublesome enough to have General Zhao who is familiar with our methods of defending the city to give guidance."
He looked towards the distant mountains and said, "There are a lot of trees here, which can be used to build attack equipment."
"I'm about to discuss this matter with the military advisor. I want to set off a big fire to burn all the trees in the forest. I want to burn as much as I can." Dongfang Ao suggested.
"Burn it. The sooner you do it, the better." He Ran agreed.
Sibu grinned in distress. People in the grasslands cherished the trees very much. When he heard that they were going to burn all the trees in this area, you can imagine how he felt. He couldn't help but said: "This...can we not burn this?"
He Ran pointed to the fluttering flag and said: "On the one hand, burning the forest makes it inconvenient for the enemy to obtain materials. Secondly, you see, it is the season of north wind, and the wind direction is blowing towards us, which is extremely detrimental to us.
, if these woods are left to the enemy to burn, then they can use the thick smoke to cover their attack. Xin Yan did not expect this, but the Zhao people would definitely think of it. This is a life-or-death moment, and this forest is not worth pitying.
"
Dongfang Ao patted Sibu on the shoulder and said: "The trees can grow again after they are burned, but they cannot be reborn if their lives are lost. Let's arrange for people to burn the forest. If you can't do it, just lead the way. Let's
Our people set the fire."
Sibu had no choice but to order a thousand men under him to carry out the execution. Dongfang Ao was worried and ordered a deputy general to lead a thousand men with him.
He Ran was silent for a while, then pointed to the northwest and preached to the temple: "Are you familiar with the terrain over there?"
Sibu nodded and said, "We are familiar with it. Is the military advisor planning to set up an ambush there?"
He Ran nodded and turned to Dongfang Ao, "Re-adjust your deployment and mobilize the two thousand people who have changed their military uniforms." When he first heard that Shunren and Ye were attacking the Xiangguo border, he had given Chen Min advice.
, let Chen Min replace one or two thousand military uniforms from Yi Jun, and asked Xiang Jun to wear Yi Jun's military uniforms to confuse the people. Chen Min took the upper limit, and exchanged a full two thousand pieces. What he is referring to now
Those are the people wearing Xiangjun uniforms.
Dongfang Ao was puzzled for a moment, so he agreed and raised his eyes to look at where those people were stationed.
He Ran whispered to Si Bu: "You choose a thousand people from your men, and I will give you another thousand people. Go northwest for about a hundred miles and choose a suitable place to hide. Send more sentries to investigate and wait for Xin Yan
After the army arrives here, you can choose to sneak attack on his baggage rear team on a dark night of the moon. Of course, you can act accordingly. If you find that the enemy troops are scattered during the day and there is a suitable opportunity to attack, you can also attack during the day.
Remember, it doesn’t matter how many enemies you kill, the key is to plunder the cattle and sheep for the army to eat. After you grab them, everyone will run in that direction. If the enemy comes to chase you in large numbers, abandon the cattle and sheep and escape quickly to get rid of the enemy.
Then continue to lurk, choose the right opportunity to strike again as before, and then stop fighting."
Sibu was confused when he heard this, and he was very puzzled by the military advisor's order. He didn't focus on killing the enemy. He robbed the cattle and sheep and couldn't bring them back. So what's the use of going there? Is it just to start a fight?
Harassment effect?
Dongfang Ao's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and said "hey" with a look of admiration on his face.
Seeing that he had figured out the mystery, He Ran said with a smile: "If you understand, you might as well explain it to me and explain some things that need attention."
Dongfang Ao smiled and said, "Then I'll take a guess. If I'm wrong, please ask the military advisor for advice."
He Ran smiled slightly and raised his eyes leisurely to look into the distance. This expression was enough to express his trust in Dongfang Ao.
Dongfang Ao pondered for a moment and preached to the temple: "The most important thing about this plan is that the Xiangjun army is originally the Shunjun army. The two thousand military uniforms they sent us are the Shunjun army's uniforms. The current situation is extremely chaotic. You can bring these two
Thousands of people wore both prairie and military uniforms, and they attacked from the northwest where Yedu is..."
Si Bu is also a man of both wisdom and bravery. After hearing this, he already understood. He clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! I am pretending to be Yedu and Shunjun. Hehe, it is strange that Xin Yan is not suspicious of this!"
"As long as he is suspicious, I don't think he will dare to attack King Fan with all his strength until he finds out. It will be enough to delay him for a few days." He Ran said lightly.
"Does the military advisor have a clever plan next? It would be great if Xin Yan and Ye could be provoked into a war!" Si Bu looked forward to it with great anticipation.
He Ran waved his hand and said: "This is difficult. Neither party will act rashly at this time, and no one will do such a stupid thing. Don't be greedy for success, and try your best to make the fake thing as flawless as possible."
Will suffice."
Dongfang Ao lowered his voice and said: "Brother, check your belongings to make sure there is nothing that could reveal your identity. I will also check our people. Also, no one alive will fall into the hands of the enemy. Do you understand?" Dongfang Ao felt the last one.
I have to say it for the military advisor, but it is better to say it myself.
Sibu nodded firmly and tragically. This meant that he had to execute the brother who was seriously injured and could not escape. He was a battle-hardened man and understood the necessity of doing so and the difficulty of attacking his own brother. In fact, Dongfang Aobu
He also told him to know what to do.
"Go and prepare. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better. Let's mobilize these two thousand people on the pretext of setting up defenses in the west." He Ran ordered the two of them, and then Fu Er explained a few words to Si Bu.
"How to arrange the remaining one thousand soldiers wearing shun army uniforms?" Dongfang Ao asked for instructions.
He Ran looked at him with a smile and said: "Look at the distribution, make sure they are looming just enough for the enemy to see but not too revealing."
Dongfang Ao understood the idea and said: "I understand, don't worry, military advisor." He smiled and asked in a low voice, "Did the military advisor think of this plan of pretending to be a shun army when he asked King Xiang to change his uniform? Or did he come here?"
Improvised?"
He Ran smiled and said nothing, waved to him and looked into the distance again.
Not getting a clear answer made Dongfang Ao feel a little itchy, and at the same time, he felt more and more unpredictable about the military advisor.
