Humane Yongchang

Chapter 189 Tactics
Taishan County, the main camp of the government army, and the commanding tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Zheng, who was dressed in a red tunic lined with a pure black robe, more and more highlighted the majesty of the superior, could not hide his excitement and passed on the text he had just received today to the chief of staff Wei Liao, who was walking back and forth in the tent with his hands on his back. Pacing: "It has begun, it has finally begun..."

Wei Liao took over the writing and first glanced at the seal at the bottom of the silk book.

"Taiwei seal?"

This seal alone made Wei Liao frown preconceivedly, and then took the candlestick, illuminated the silk book, and reviewed it word by word: "It's in the spring breeze, the troops are divided into three directions, and the troops will be divided into two groups."

"All the way to the left, from Bingzhou, to clean up Youzhou."

"All the way to the center, conquer Julu, eastward to Qingzhou."

"All the way to the right, starting from Yangzhou, pointing to Xuzhou..."

He looked at it very slowly, and every word seemed to be transformed into mountains and rivers in his mind, outlining the marching battle map of the three armies.

After a long while, he put down the silk book, looked at Lu Zheng who was walking around in front of him, and asked softly, considering his sentence: "Since Your Majesty worships veteran Wang Jian as your general, the military order should come from the commander's account of the Central Army, why should it be issued? Yu Taiwei's Mansion?"

Lu Zheng shook his head inadvertently and said, "Wang Jiantong's army entered Hebei for half a year, and he wasted no money and food, but he failed to make an inch. The princes in the court have long criticized the old general. Summon the old general to return."

Wei Liao had a worried look on his face, and thoughtfully said in a low voice, "The right middle man will be appointed by Lian Po, the leader of the Bo Lang army, and who will be the left middle man?"

Lu Zheng thought about it and replied, "It is rumored that Li Mu, the general of King Yan's department, was appointed."

"King Yan?"

Wei Liao was taken aback, "Isn't King Yan already in Youzhou? How could his generals appear in the imperial court's battle against Taipingdao?"

Lü Zheng replied: "The left road army will be composed of [-] Youzhou troops as the main force and [-] Yanwang's government troops as the supplement."

"Youzhou Army..."

Wei Liao muttered the name softly, and the indifferent vicissitudes of life appeared a little worried.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that the Youzhou Army had used troops in Kyushu since its establishment 300 years ago.

Still under the command of a prince.

The meaning is intriguing...

Wei Liao suppressed the worries in his heart and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the troops will be divided into three routes and attacked separately. Our Yanzhou may become a breakthrough for the Yellow Turbans to break through. With my current troops and horses in Yanzhou, we cannot stop the Yellow Turbans from the three states. Soldiers!"

"I've been thinking about this too!"

Lu Zheng sat on the tent, and said slowly with wisdom shining in his eyes: "There is General Wang Jian in Jizhou commanding 25 elite troops, and the 20 troops from Taipingdao Headquarters are powerless to attack Yanzhou south."

"Qingzhou is very deep and is in a decisive battle between the three armies. I think that Song Yibu is not afraid. As long as there is a retreat, he will not have the courage to fight to the death."

"We need to face each other solemnly. Only Xuzhou is the only one left."

"There are [-] soldiers and horses in Liang County and Chen County!
"Meng Tian and Chen Sheng are also rare good generals!"

"I just want to hold him back, it's not difficult!"

"As long as the three armies are encircled, the battle will be won!"

In his mind, he also floated the battle map of the march of the three armies, and a strong desire to make meritorious deeds and honor the princes flickered wildly in his heart.

Wei Liao thought for a moment, and had to admit that Lu Zheng's words were wishful thinking, but they were not without reason.

He is good at strategy, but when it comes to people, Lu Zheng is better at it.

Facts have proved that Meng Tian and Zhao Tuo discovered by Lu Zheng are all rare generals.

He is too late!

just.

'You don't even ask about Chen County's Chen Sheng, but is it too arbitrary to put Chen County's troops and horses under your command without authorization? '

'How did you put yourself together years ago, have you forgotten? '

Wei Liao thought to himself, and asked casually with a smile, "Does your Majesty think that Chen County and Chen Sheng will lead the troops to battle?"

However, Lu Zheng was full of confidence and had the chance to win: "If you don't go out to fight, you can't help him, I heard that the envoy of the King of Wei has arrived in Chen County, and Chen Sheng is arrogant, but he is only the chief of a mere county, how can he violate the law? The courage of the prince of the royal family and the captain of the court?"

"Even if he dares to disregard the generals of King Wei, he will forcefully recruit Chen Jun's soldiers and horses to join the battle when the waves are marching north..."

After hearing this, Wei Liao still had to admit that what he said really made sense.

but.

After all, Chen County is also a county in Yanzhou. You, together with outsiders, are still so gloating about scheming against your own people...

Wei Liao glanced at Lu Zheng secretly, with some doubts in his heart.

He was under the account of Lu Zheng, and the time was not short.

The Lu Zheng he had seen was somewhat arbitrary, but he was generally wise, knowledgeable, and tolerant.

Only with regards to Chen Jun and Chen Sheng, Lu Zheng was out of order several times, and it seemed that the gap in his heart was getting bigger and bigger...

'Is it possible that the fate of your Majesty and Chen Sheng is at odds? '

A strange thought flashed in Wei Liao's mind.

But immediately, he shook his head helplessly.

He belongs to the ghost valley, and he has passed down his strategy to the world. Although he has also dabbled in the art of Xuanmen, he only has a shallow taste, and he is not good at it...

……

Qiao County, west of Mengcheng.

"Ask you a question, what is the easiest way to kill someone!"

Chen Sheng squatted in front of the bonfire wrapped in a cloak, and used a wooden stick to pick a piece of dead gnocchi and roast it on the bonfire.

Numerous Chen family disciples and red-clothed army scouts also sat around him, roasting dry food like him.

Hearing his question, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was in a hurry to answer.

Because many problems along the way have been proved, Chen Sheng's problem is not as simple as it seems.

In the end, a young man from the Chen family couldn't hold back, and the first one said, "Of course it was a stab to death, and a knife to the heart, clean and neat, even the gods can't save it!"

With the first one to speak, a group of silent teenagers, Lang Deng, immediately became active, and started talking in a row.

"Fourth, you're so stupid, isn't it? The eldest brother asked what is the easiest way, is it easy to use a knife? If you want me to say, you should still use a gun. You can stab you to death with a single shot, even if you don't have any clothes on it. Bloody!"

"That said, the crossbow and arrow are the easiest. The cat is among the crowd, and the cat is shot to death without even showing his face. The enemy died without knowing whose hands were killed!"

"Yin or you are yin enough, Boss Zhou..."

"Is it because you have no brains and blame me?"

When they were talking about something, Chen Shengcai clapped his hands lightly, indicating that they were all quiet, then looked at Chen Qiu beside him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Twelve, what do you think?"

"You want me to tell you..."

Chen Qiu looked around at the many bright eyes, grinned, and said with an honest smile: "That has to be poison!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Chen Sheng nodded with a smile: "Tell me carefully!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

Chen Qiu nodded, and said with a look of reminiscence: "Back when our caravan was still selling goods in a serious manner, a group of rogues who didn't know the rules appeared out of nowhere in Yangping County, Jizhou, and took over A mountain is the grass head king, and every time our family passes by that road, we have to pay 200 taels of silver to buy the road! If you don’t give it, you will grab it!”

"Where has our family suffered from this kind of pickled gas?"

"Our brothers are thinking about how to kill them!"

"But there are many of them, and the terrain of the cottage is dangerous, so a strong attack is definitely impossible!"

"We've been thinking about it for a long time and haven't figured out a name."

"In the end, it was Uncle Liu. Well, at that time, Uncle Liu was still in the caravan... He said it's not easy? Send them a batch of wine and meat, touch them at night, and put them in the wine while they drink and eat meat. Put some poison, and the whole medicine will be turned over in one go!"

"Our brothers went to buy wine and meat according to what his old man said, and sent them to them under the banner of giving money... Hey, those bastards are really smart, let our brothers eat one by one. After one time, I accepted those wine and meat."

"On the same day, they collected money and wine and meat. In the evening, except for a few guards, the rest of the cottage was drinking, eating meat and playing with women. It would be a lot of fun!"

"A few of our brothers touched it that night, and when they were not paying attention, they put the poison into the wine jar."

"In less than half an hour, less than ten of the hundred and ten people can still stand!"

"Our brothers rushed up in one wave and chopped off their heads one by one!"

"I haven't even lost any cold hair!"

"After a long period of time, the mountain kings on that section of the road saw the flag of our family caravan as if they saw their father. Not only did they not charge our family's road money, but they also provided us with delicious food!"

After speaking, he picked up the water bag and took a big mouthful, with a look of sigh.

All the young men around the bonfire looked at Chen Qiu with strange expressions.

Is this what you always taught us to "be kind to others"?
Is this the "good people" you always taught us?
Are you really lying to kids?

"Clap clap clap..."

Chen Sheng's applause broke the silence: "What Uncle Twelve said is very agreeable!"

Everyone looked at him in unison.

Chen Sheng said unhurriedly: "Think about it now, if you use your method to deal with this matter, what will be the result!"

"Murder with a gun?"

"The enemy occupies the terrain, even if you have more people than the enemy, how many people will you have to die if you rush to kill the enemy?"

"Murder with arrows?"

"The result is better than a gun, but how much better?"

After a pause, he smiled and said: "Let's analyze and analyze, what methods did the uncles use to deal with the bandits back then!"

"First of all, it is to analyze the form of enemy and self!"

"There are many enemies, occupying the geographical advantage, you can't fight recklessly, you can only outsmart it, this is the premise!"

"Based on this premise, Liu Wuye thought of the method of poisoning."

"This method is very good. There is no blood to kill, so you don't have to fight your own family!"

"I've decided to use poison, and then I'll figure out how to use it."

"How to put poison into the enemy's bowl."

"How to overturn most of the enemies with one-time medicine."

"The enemy can't be foolish enough to call everyone together and wait for us to poison them, right?"

"Even if it is possible, this time is not easy to grasp!"

"No conditions, then create conditions!"

"Liu Wuye has figured out the temperament of these rogues and thieves. Knowing that they have received the money, they will definitely eat and drink to celebrate."

"So I used the money delivery stall to send the wine and meat together... Note, the poison is placed after it is sent, not before it is sent!"

"why is that?"

"In order to avoid early exposure, in order to avoid being unable to overturn most of the enemies at one time..."

"If you put the poison in it when you deliver the wine and meat, it is very likely that it will be exposed. After it is exposed, you will have to fight immediately!"

"If you can't overturn most of the enemies with one-time medicine, and only poison one or two, then poisoning is meaningless, and it will only attract robbers to retaliate immediately!"

"If my expectations are correct, the poison Liu Wuye chose at that time must be a slow-onset, chronic poison, not a highly poisonous one that seals the throat with blood..."

Chen Sheng broke it apart, smashed it into pieces, and analyzed Chen Qiu's story bit by bit to many young men.

The more young men listened, the more shocked they felt.

When they listened to Chen Qiu's narration, they felt as if this matter was the same, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

It's as if they could think of such a way and accomplish such a thing...

But after listening to Chen Sheng's analysis, I found that there are too many things here, it seems that every detail is worth pondering carefully.

"Analyze the enemy's situation, determine the plan, improve the plan, and implement the plan!"

Chen Sheng aggravated his tone and said: "This should be a complete set of task execution process. Any small mistakes or flaws in this process may cause the failure of the task!"

"It's like the choice of poison. It is also poisoned. It must be placed in your hands. Do you think that the stronger the medicine, the better?"

"But if Liu Wuye chose not a chronic poison at that time, but a highly poisonous one, as soon as the wine and meat mixed with poison were delivered, the greedy people would eat and drink two mouthfuls first, and they would have been poisoned at the dinner table at that time, and those who ate slowly, Did you react?"

"Including what you just said, Boss Zhou, the cat is in the crowd, secretly shooting the enemy with crossbow arrows!"

"What do you have to do to achieve this goal?"

"Do you have to find out the whereabouts of the enemy first? Know in advance where the enemy will go, and then choose a good place to start an ambush?"

"Furthermore, do you have to plan the retreat route in advance to ensure that after you shoot the enemy, you can retreat quickly and smoothly without being caught by the enemy's subordinates?"

"In order to avoid misses, do you have to arrange a few more people to hold crossbow cats in the crowd together, wait for your signal, and shoot bows together? Do you have to smear some poison on your arrows first to ensure that even if they fail to shoot? Can you poison the enemy even at the point?"

"You said that you didn't even do these jobs, and just touched the enemy's side so foolishly, even if you were lucky enough to shoot the enemy, would you risk your life? already?"

He moved his eyes and slowly swept the faces of the people around him. Seeing that they were all demented, with a thoughtful look in their eyes, he knew that tonight's teaching was over.

Any more and their brains won't be enough.

"So, I think that for any mission, the preparatory work in the early stage must be more important than the process of execution!"

"Assassination is like this."

"It's the same with leading troops!"

"Before the battle, you should think a little bit more, arrange it carefully, and take into account the various reactions that the enemy may have. When you do it, you can be more calm, safer, and easier to complete the task!"

"Think about what I said tonight, and tomorrow I will ask you about your gains one by one, or the same sentence. If you are willing to work hard, you will be promoted when you go back. If you don't work hard, you will be demoted when you go back!"

After speaking, the dry food in his hand was also eaten.

He got up, walked out of the crowd, squeezed his fingers into his mouth and blew a whistle.

In a short while, there was a sound of "puff ling ling" from the surrounding mountains and forests.

Chen Sheng raised his arms, and three hen-sized hawks landed on his arms one by one.

three?

Chen Sheng glanced at the new falcon with a slightly smaller body in surprise, then looked at the largest falcon near his cheek, and clearly saw a sentence from its arrogant dark golden vertical pupil: shoveling shit Yes, let me introduce, this is my little wife...

Full level [Acrobatics: Fowling Technique], so terrifying!
