Da Wei Chun

chapter 173

"Using one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses is the way to go to war!"

On the way back to the camp, Li Chengzhi explained to Hu Baozong his plan and ideas for the Battle of Jingzhou, and taught others by the way.

Li Song, Li Feng, Li Zhang, Li Zhao, Li Ming, Huangfu Rang, etc. all urged the horses and followed closely.

Whether Li Chengzhi's tactics are useful can be known by looking at the record.

Everyone dared not expect to be like Li Chengzhi in every battle, wiping out the enemy with minimal or almost no casualties. They only hoped to achieve a large victory rate with a small casualty ratio, and they would be satisfied.

In case someone eavesdropped, Li Song had already ordered Li Xian to lead the guards to isolate the left and right.

It's not that Li Song is stingy, but the concept of this era is like this: the law should not be passed on lightly, and knowledge can only be in the hands of a few people. This is also the basic principle for the survival and growth of the elite.

Secondly, he is good at discussing the art of war and is guilty of conspiracy.

Is it really a joke, regardless of the past dynasties, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, when the most chaotic schools of thought were the most prosperous and open in history, there were only scholars and Confucians giving lectures, but no famous generals taught the art of war?
Just because this thing is a dragon slaying technique, the most taboo of those in power.

Even in the most chaotic and open-minded Southern and Northern Dynasties, regardless of whether the local powerful and powerful raised private soldiers, mined and smelted iron, or built military armor, the court could turn a blind eye.

But if any clan dares to risk the disgrace of the world and teach the art of war against the public, let alone the emperor, even the clans of other clans will not let you go...

Therefore, it is definitely the only one like Li Chengzhi who gives lectures and explains tactics at every turn.

Fortunately, most of them are not outsiders, except Hu Baozong...

Li Chengzhi talked eloquently: "Just like our army, the biggest advantage is that the armor is strong and the bow is strong, the horses are more than the chariot, and the disadvantage is that there are few soldiers...

Therefore, we must try our best to maximize our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, engage in mobile warfare and wars of attrition with the enemy, and gradually weaken the rebel army's main combat power, rather than a decisive battle as soon as they come up..."

"It's just a group of rebels! The enemy who is fighting today is already an elite rebel army, but the combat power is just like this. Even if there are [-] to [-], with the strength of our army and the high morale, when Can win a battle..."

Hu Baozong gritted his teeth and asked, "How long will it take to fight like you said?"

"When? So what if it's the beginning of autumn?"

Li Chengzhi glanced at him coldly: "Not to mention the sudden decisive battle, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. Our army must have suffered huge casualties. Even with an army of less than tens of thousands, we can wipe out tens of thousands of thieves in one fell swoop. ?
Even if the rebel army is defeated, it is still a rout. After the tens of thousands of thieves are disbanded, can they still wait for the imperial court to surrender and resettle them in peace?At that time, those who go up the mountain to be bandits go up the mountain to become bandits, and those who go to various places, and then try to gather and annihilate them, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky... For Jingzhou in the future, this will be an infinite disaster! "

In the middle of speaking, Li Chengzhi sighed again, and lowered his voice a little: "I know that you are very urgent to save Governor Hu, but this Jingzhou is not only Jingzhou where your Hu family and Governor Hu's family live, but also Hundreds of thousands of civilians..."

Hu Baozong's heart trembled in shock as he said these words so cruelly.

He hissed and argued: "I didn't think so, I was just eager to win..."

Hu Baozong's idea is very simple: as long as he can take the first step and break the siege of Jingzhou before Xi Kangsheng, the first success will be a certainty.

As for how to solve the siege, it is natural to drive the rebels away.As for how to destroy the rout bandits, that is a matter for the future.

But if you want to talk about the idea of ​​persecuting the people, I really don't have...

Li Chengzhi snorted coldly: "Of course I know you haven't thought this way yet. I just remind you in advance that it's best not to think this way. Otherwise, I will definitely send you to fight every time I take the lead or attack a tough battle..."

He was afraid that Hu Baozong would go crazy because he wanted to make meritorious deeds, and if his brain twitched and rushed forward, disrupting his plan and deployment, he reminded him in advance.

It means, if you really dare to disobey orders or play tricks, don't blame Lao Tzu for making you suffer.

It doesn't matter how good the relationship between the two is in private. Li Chengzhi has always been very clear about public affairs and private affairs...

Hearing what Li Chengzhi said so bluntly, the cold sweat on Hu Baozong's head immediately seeped out.

After getting along for so long, how could he not know Li Chengzhi's disposition of turning his face and denying others?

Besides, how many times has this tricked him?
Thinking of this, Hu Baozong immediately calmed down as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head.

It's better to listen to orders honestly, otherwise Li Chengzhi will really be tricked, he doesn't even know the time...

All the generals took a peek at Hu Baozong, who was sweating profusely, and let out another deep breath.

There is not only one Hu Baozong, among them, he only cares about meritorious service and does not think about whether there will be harm afterwards. It is really not one or two.

Even Li Song thinks this way...

To put it bluntly, even if the rebellious soldiers become bandits after they break up, whether they will harass the people is something that the government should consider. What does it have to do with the Li family?
Even Hu Baozong, who is a lot of officials in his family, doesn't even care that he is a school lieutenant of a county, so why care about Li Chengzhi?
But Li Chengzhi can think so far-reaching?
Thinking about it now, he is still just a white man, even if he becomes an official afterwards, it is [-]% impossible to stay in Jingzhou. It is really thankless to do so.

It can only be said that Yang Shu, Zhang Jingzhi and others saw it accurately: from the beginning to the end, Li Chengzhi was not pretending to be benevolent and righteous, but really worried about the world and caring for all people...

Li Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, when it is time to be cruel, the gentleman will not be soft, otherwise it is really a woman's kindness.

Seeing that his subordinates were really well-behaved, Li Chengzhi lazily used Hu Baozong to scare the chickens and monkeys, and continued: "The best way right now is actually to encircle and not attack. Then try to annihilate or capture the main force of the rebel army.

But the rebel army is not made of clay. It is impossible for them to cooperate with me as much as I think. They will definitely treat us as soft persimmons, and they will definitely break out or invite battle to the west.

In the same way, it is not that I will fight as the rebels want to fight.Seeing that the camp outside the city of Jingzhou is more than ten miles wide, the number of people should be around [-], and it is impossible for them to be all soldiers.So I will bypass the elite of the rebel army and focus on the weak points..."

In the middle of speaking, Li Chengzhi let out a heavy breath again, and said leisurely: "It can be summed up in sixteen words: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we chase..."

The eyes of all the generals lit up.

These sixteen words are so sophisticated, and are they similar to the tactics of returning horses and arrows and the tactics of wolves that Lang Jun mentioned before?
