Xinpi thought he had a trick, and opened his jaws and was tortured a lot, but they didn't know that in fact, the Qingzhou generals had always been in the dark, not knowing what their lord and military advisor were doing.
Fortunately, compared to opening jaws which can only explore on their own, Qingzhou generals have the convenience of asking questions if they don't understand.
At first, both Wang Yu and Jia Xu pretended to be mysterious. When asked by the generals, they both just said that the time was not right. But today, when the third messenger was captured alive and brought into the city, Wang Yu finally relaxed, and
Once he opened his mouth, he was out of control.
"It's said to be a conspiracy, but actually it's also a battle, an intelligence war!"
“The essence is the control of information!”
"Qinghe, the plains are densely populated, and our troops are small. It is difficult to achieve a complete blockade. It may be possible in a short time, but it is impossible to maintain it for a long time. If the blockade is forced, then we can only try to ensure the tightness of the blockade."
"As long as the enemy makes any breakthrough progress, even if the result is extremely small, with the combined effect of wisdom and patience, the enemy general may be able to peel off the cocoons and find out the truth of the matter. Therefore, Ben will do the opposite and use
A large amount of information, both true and false, completely confuses the enemy general's thinking."
"Dispatch a large number of rangers and establish a visible blockade, so that the enemy cannot get the information that our army does not want them to get; pass on a large amount of false information to the enemy, and you can also establish an invisible blockade. When you find the truth, you can distinguish the true from the false.
Before the laws were established, the enemy generals would also be unable to obtain reliable information."
"In fact, the key to the effectiveness of this strategy is based on the fact that the enemy will search hard for this rule. As long as he looks for it, his failure is doomed. In recent days, Mr. Wen He has planned
A series of actions are designed for this purpose.”
When Wang Yu finished speaking, there was no reaction among the people in the tent. This lofty speech aroused the thinking of all the generals. Even a straightforward person like Tai Shi Ci had a thoughtful look on his face.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, countless battlefields have been fought in the Central Plains. The tactics and strategies used by famous generals are like the stars in the sky, which is difficult to count. The strategy of false information is not new, but like Wang Yu's
Application is unheard of.
Generally speaking, the function of false information is to confuse the enemy and make the enemy act in the way one expects. It must be true. Wang Yu's operation seemed to follow this pattern in the early stages.
But now, things have completely changed.
The first person to ask questions today was Qin Feng, the deputy general of Baima Yicong. Qin Feng is a relatively pure military general. He is very resolute in executing orders and rarely expresses opinions on strategy. The reason why he couldn't help himself today is because of Wang Yu's
The order is so strange.
Before sending the messenger, Wang Yu reminded Qin Feng to be careful of ambushes. The latter solemnly agreed, saying that he would die to complete the mission, shot the fake messenger under the city, and let the fake letter fall into the hands of the defenders. As a result,
Wang Yu shook his head and told him that the most important thing was to protect the safety of his own soldiers, and he could just let him go if he wanted to.
At that time, Qin Feng was deeply moved and felt that such a lord who cared about the soldiers was a rare sight. However, after he came back, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. It was true that the lord cared about the soldiers, but it was also true that he did not care whether the messenger was dead or alive.
He was an honest man and could not hide things in his heart, so he raised this issue at the military meeting, which led to Wang Yu's discussion about intelligence warfare.
Can false information that doesn't care about being discovered have the desired effect? Among the generals, there are quite a few like Xu Huang who are always learning new knowledge and pursuing the highest secrets of the art of war. For them,
This so-called intelligence war, like the timely spring rain, aroused their strong thirst for knowledge.
Taishi Ci did not dare to be careless. It was hard to say whether he would encounter the same situation as Zhang Jia in the future. While he was trapped in the isolated city, he still had the strength to fight, just in case the enemies besieging the city imitated the same and used similar tricks.
, he can't rush in recklessly, there must be a way to break the situation.
"So, the blockade carried out by our army earlier was also to create an illusion to the enemy general, making him think that our army's purpose was to prevent him from obtaining information, so he would try every means to obtain information?"
Being brave does not mean being unintelligent, it is just a personal style. Taishi Ci is not a foolhardy man. After thinking for a moment, he quickly noticed some key details that no one paid attention to.
"Not bad." Wang Yu nodded approvingly, looked at Jia Xu, and motioned for the latter to continue.
He proposed this plan, but the details were all handled by Jia Xu. Intelligence warfare is also psychological warfare. This is what Jia Xu is best at. It is enough for Wang Yu to propose an idea.
In fact, if Wang Yu were to follow all the steps carefully, there would most likely be mistakes. He is not the kind of person who is particularly good at grasping people's hearts. His ability to open his jaws mainly depends on his foresight.
Zhang Jaw is not an ordinary person. He is a famous general in the Three Kingdoms era. Wang Yu knows the information about him very clearly. This famous general from Hebei was not well-known in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms. This is related to his experience.
Yuan Shao was a loser, so historians would certainly not waste their time hyping up his military exploits while serving under Yuan Shao. In the Battle of Guandu, Zhang Jia surrendered Cao Cao. Although Wei Wuxiong was a wise man, he did not use the surrendered generals.
He was also very cautious. Although Zhang Zha accompanied him in many expeditions, he never had the chance to lead an army on his own.
Zhang Jia really became active in the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms era, starting from the battle for Hanzhong between Wei and Shu. At that time, Hebei was completely pacified, and the common people had forgotten the glory of the Yuan family. Zhang Jia, a surrendered general, had little potential to be used.
The risk was high, so he had the opportunity to take charge of his own business.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei took advantage of the favorable geographical location and the manpower at his peak. At the beginning of the war, Huang Zhong killed Xia Houyuan, and Zhang Fei defeated Zhang Jaw in the defensive battle of Brazil. However, after hearing the news, Liu Bei did not do much
Happy, he muttered: "If you want to kill, just kill Zhang Jaw. What's the use of killing Xia Houyuan?"
Xia Houyuan was the coach of the Hanzhong side of the Wei State, Zhang Zha was just a vanguard general, and he was defeated by Zhang Fei again. The importance of the two was simply incomparable. Why did Liu Bei say this?
Wang Yu guessed that it was probably when Liu Bei followed Gongsun Zan that he suffered the loss of Zhang Jia on the battlefield in Hebei.
But in the battle in Hanzhong, Liu Bei's words were fully verified. Zhang Jaw led a partial army and blocked the main force led by Liu Bei himself; Xiahou Yuan was killed by Huang Zhong's partial army. After Xia Houyuan's death, Zhang Jaw took his position and calmly commanded the defeated troops.
, withstood Liu Bei's massive attack and maintained the front line at the Han River.
However, Zhang Zha's most famous battle must be the battle in which he defeated Ma Su in Jieting and repelled Zhuge Liang's first expedition out of Qishan.
In the novel, that battle was written as being commanded by Sima Yi, but in fact, Sima Yi was still building ships in Jingzhou and preparing to attack Wu. It was really his turn to fight Zhuge Liang when Kong Ming went out to Qishan for the fourth time to attack Guanzhong, which was also the
From then on, the Shu army went from working hard but without success to winning every battle. As a result, the Wei army could only retreat and wait for the enemy to run out of food and retreat.
In the early stage of the battle with Zhuge Liang, the person who prevented the opponent from getting any advantage was actually Zhang Jia.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Jaw was jealous of Sima Yi, who was worried that the loyal and brave general would ruin his usurpation plan. During Zhuge Liang's battle out of Qishan, Sima Yi forced Zhang Jaw to pursue him, but Zhuge Liang set up an ambush in Mumen Valley and killed him.
Shoot to death.
Wang Yu did not dare to despise such a famous general, so he naturally had to send the most powerful people to deal with him, and Jia Xu did his part.
Jia Xu laughed and said: "Zhang Jia is a good general. Even if the lord does not remind him, he will realize the importance of this lone army sooner or later. Therefore, even if the news of Yecheng is conveyed to him before our army moves, he will
I will also think twice before I act.”
The reason why Zhang Jia is in such a predicament today is because he made his own decision and did not follow Yuan Shao's instructions to stay in Qinghe and bluff, but took the initiative to march into the army in order to support the main battlefield.
This person really doesn't follow orders blindly.
"It is very dangerous to let him get sufficient information and time to think, because even if our army obtains Yuan Shao's exact plan, no one can guarantee when, where and what kind of action Zhang Jaw will take. An unpredictable
The enemy is quite formidable."
"However, we can use the flow of intelligence to guide his thinking. Since it is difficult for him to act according to our army's expectations and step into a trap, then let him fall into complete chaos."
"Know yourself and the enemy, and fight a hundred battles without danger. This is the principle passed down by the sage of war. All soldiers use it as a golden rule. Zhang Jaw is good at planning, so there will be no exception. Therefore, Jia followed the wishes of his lord, took advantage of the situation, and guided Zhang Jaw's
The idea is to let him work hard on obtaining intelligence and contacting the rear, and step into the lord's trap step by step."
Jia Xu knew very well that his lord wanted to take the opportunity of explanation to teach the Qingzhou generals a lesson and enhance their thinking ability so that they could be independent in the future, so he explained it in detail.
"That's it." Xu Huang nodded in agreement: "Zhang Jia uses the normal thinking mode. He thinks that the master's plot is to guide him in a certain direction, so he will try his best to identify the truth and falsehood in the information.
, trying to find the pattern. But I didn’t expect that the original intention of the master’s design was to let him do this!”
"That's right." Jia Xu said with approval and a smile: "He thought that the lord would set up a conspiracy and was always on guard against it. As a result, his vigilance was taken advantage of by the lord. Now, he should be completely confused."
False information actually has no rules, and each piece of information is contradictory. For example, the letter found contained an order that Zhang Jaw had dreamed of, allowing him to judge the situation and decide on his own.
If he had received this order before the battle of Long Minato, Zhang Jaw would have been extremely grateful, but not now, because he knew it was a false order. Therefore, as long as he read the letter, his thoughts would only become more confusing.
.
Jia Xu continued: "Maybe he will also find someone to discuss and try to brainstorm ideas..."
"No, no!" Xu Huang shook his head: "The more people there are, the more opinions there are. The information in false intelligence is inherently messy. After brainstorming, it will only become more messy, and more people will be smart and think they have seen something.
, and stick to your point of view. When the time comes, everything will become possible, and in the end nothing can be done.”
Qin Feng, an honest man, was dumbfounded. How could the Lord and the military advisor be so thoughtful? How could they fool a famous general like Zhang Jaw with such a little trick?
Taishi Ci also clicked his tongue. After thinking for a while, he interrupted and asked: "So, in the future, false information will continue to be sent in?"
"Of course, there are many prisoners with different temperaments. It is impossible for everyone to be a softie, and it is impossible for everyone to care about the future of their family and grit their teeth. Maybe some people will think that our army is in a good situation.
, ready to fully cooperate."
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said with a bad smile: "In the end, I won't be able to tell which one is the real messenger and which one is fake. Every messenger who enters the city must be punished first, haha."
Xu Huang and others imagined the scene for a moment, and suddenly felt some sympathy for the enemy general. With their lord's new tactics and the military advisor's bad idea, the enemy's situation was not ordinary pitiful.
I am anxious due to false information, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the incoming messenger. What can I do without using torture to extract a confession?
However, opening his jaw was not an injustice. In order to deal with him, the lord specially summoned Cai Zhonglang and Military Advisor Tian from Linzi, and asked Cai Zhonglang, a calligraphy master, to forge handwriting, and Military Advisor Tian, who was familiar with Jizhou characters, to imitate Yuan Shao's tone and forge orders.
In such a big battle, what can we do if we open our jaws and refuse to admit defeat?
Taishi Ci was very nervous and had no intention of caring about Zhang Zha. He only cared about the evolution of the battle situation: "But, military counselor, do you know what Zhang Zha will choose in the end? Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, let alone a person like Zhang Zha.
?”
"Is this..." Jia Xu pondered for a moment. The purpose of this intelligence war is to confuse Zhang Zha's thinking and make the other party lose the ability to make calm judgments. After success, Zhang Zha will lose his normal mind and make decisions that he himself would not have thought of.
, but what that decision is is beyond our control.
No matter how good he is at understanding people's hearts, Jia Xu can't judge how a mentally disturbed lunatic will think about problems, and what he is doing now is to drive his jaw crazy.
Wang Yu waved his hand and ended the topic about the intelligence war: "It doesn't matter, whatever he does is fine, as long as he can't make timely judgments, that's enough. Speaking of which, the war is imminent, so this unhappiness can be avoided.
In the necessary battle, our army has also avoided unnecessary casualties, so why not?"
All the generals had relaxed smiles on their faces.
Although it was an emergency rescue, the main force of the Qing and You families jointly attacked, but they were not able to completely defeat Zhang Jia. It is really surprising. Fighting with a favorable wind is not considered strong. Only when you win in adversity can you show your true ability. Zhang Jia uses his troops.
His abilities were fully demonstrated in that battle.
If Zhang Jia goes out of the city for a decisive battle, the Qingzhou Army should be able to win, but the casualties will definitely be high, which will definitely be detrimental to the imminent Central Plains war. It would be great if Zhang Jia can be solved with a strategy.
"Report..." At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the Chinese army's tent. Listening to the sound, Lai Qiu actually rushed straight to the vicinity of the Chinese army before dismounting. Wang Yu was usually casual, but he was strict in running the army. When something like this happened,
There is only one possibility, and that is that the situation is extremely urgent!
Soon, the guard's announcement sounded outside the tent door: "To inform my lord, General Gongsun has sent an envoy to report that the situation is extremely urgent, so..."
"Pass!" Wang Yu shouted solemnly.
"Here."
The messenger was brought up immediately, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand. When he saw Wang Yu, he immediately handed it to Wang Yu with both hands: "Urgent news from Youzhou, my lord's intention... You will know when you see the letter."
"Yes." Wang Yu nodded and took the bamboo slip. He was now more or less accustomed to reading vertically arranged traditional Chinese characters. Even without punctuation, he could still understand the general meaning.
At first glance, his face immediately darkened.
"Lord?" Jia Xu and other staff and generals were all shocked. This letter came so urgently, so it was probably not a good sign.
"You guys should also take a look." Wang Yu handed the bamboo slips over casually, with a sharp smile on his face: "Yuan Shao, the thief, is really anxious. Well, since you are coming, there is nothing to be polite about. Yes, let a certain person become a hero in the world!" (To be continued.
