Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1867 Pointing at Japan (Thirty-Four)
After listening to Gao Wushi's words with half understanding, they each had their own ideas. Gao Wushi waved his hand to signal Gao Wuzheng to continue, so Gao Wuzheng said: "Brother always says that you can predict people when you tell them what to do. Since Kuroda is like water If it is such a style, then there is a high probability that he will not act according to our previous inference.

That is to say, he would not honestly follow the general marching thinking, Daegu first and then Changnyeong, let alone cross the river obediently, and fight Liu Zongrong to the west of the Nakdong River. "

Gao Wushi glanced at Gao Wuruo again, and asked, "Then how would he choose?" Judging from his gaze, this question was for Gao Wuruo.

While looking at the map, Gao Wuruo murmured, "He likes surprises, so maybe... he doesn't want to cross the river himself, in case he loses the battle, but he wants to lure Liu Zongrong across the river. Edom to fight him?
Ah, brother, do you think there is such a possibility: the Japanese army knew that they were inferior to our heavenly soldiers in field battles, and at this moment there were tens of thousands of fine cavalry from Li Ziqing harassing them along the road. Did they just stay in Daegu or Changnyeong? "

Gao Wushi smiled, and then asked Gao Wuzheng: "What about you, what do you think of this idea?"

Gao Wuzheng scratched his head, frowned and thought: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Why?" Gao Wushi asked calmly.

"Besides the fact that the army's field strength is weak and already exhausted, I think there is another point that is very important. That is, Daegu and Changning are not far from Busan, which is about the same distance as Jinju and Sacheon. .

This means that if they can hold this line, it is equivalent to holding the gate of Busan.Neither Li Ziqing nor Liu Zongrong are likely to bypass them and attack Busan.

In this way, they not only avoided the huge risk of being surrounded by Li and Liu and being defeated in the field, but also held up a sky for Busan and ensured the retreat of the entire Japanese army. "

Gao Wushi didn't speak, but looked at Gao Qi again.Gao Qi doesn't usually intervene in military strategy issues, because he is an intelligence secretary, and it is somewhat illegal to directly intervene in military affairs.

However, since it was Gao Pragmatic's gesture at this time, he could naturally express his opinion. After all, this could be seen as his uncle training himself, and the opportunity should not be missed.

Since the opportunity was rare, Gao Qi wanted to seize it, so he didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while, and waited until Gao Wuzheng and Gao Wuruo couldn't help but show a restless expression, and then slowly opened his mouth to answer.But at this moment, he realized that Gao Yushi, the final decision-maker, had a calm expression on his face, and he couldn't see any signs of anxiety at all, so he couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart.

Gao Qi calmed down, tried to keep his tone as steady as possible, and said slowly, "Uncle, my nephew thinks that what the two uncles said is indeed quite safe for the Japanese army, but as the previous analysis In that way, Kuroda Rushui is very decisive, and he is very gambler. He likes to fight to decide the world... So the younger nephew thinks that this kind of "safety" is not Kuroda Rushui's style, and he may have other considerations. "

Gao Wushi had a rare flash of light in his eyes, stared into his eyes, and asked: "Then, if you were Kuroda Rushui, how would you take this gamble, so as to achieve the goal of determining the world through one battle?"

This question is probably the most difficult of all the questions today, because it is equivalent to asking Gao Qi to imitate Kuroda Rushui's strategy.Kuroda Rushui is Japan's "Number One Military Advisor in the Warring States Period". To imitate his strategy doesn't mean that Gao Qi needs to have his level?

Gao Qi suddenly became a little nervous, even his breathing became a lot faster, he opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

"Don't worry, you can answer after you have thought about it." Gao Wushi smiled slightly, pointed to the battle map hanging on the side, and said, "Hehe, how about this, I will give you an eight-word reminder for the uncle: predict the enemy's plane first, Bing is precious and fast." Then he glanced at Gao Wuzheng and Gao Wuruo again, and said, "If you think of a way, you can tell me."

As a result, the study suddenly fell into a deep silence, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. At the same time, another sound came from Gao Wushi lifting the lid of the teacup to drink tea from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Qi suddenly called softly: "Uncle?"

It turned out that he had thought of a possibility, but at the same time, he realized that a long time had passed, and it seemed that Gao Yushi had already closed his eyes and rested his mind, so he didn't dare to speak loudly immediately.

Gao Wushi didn't open his eyes, but he said, "Have an idea? Let's talk about it."

"Yes, uncle." Gao Qi took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "If my nephew is Kuroda like water, facing such a situation and wanting to fight to decide the world, then the only goal is Sacheon! In other words, This target is you, Uncle!"

"Hahahaha!" Gao Wushi suddenly laughed, and finally opened his eyes, looked at the cousin with a smile, and said, "Okay, I have an idea, tell me your reason."

Gao Qi was greatly encouraged, but he still tried his best to suppress his excitement and said: "Yes, uncle." Then he walked to the map, pointed to several places in the map and said: "Looking at the current situation, if the previous two uncles According to my guess, Kuroda Rushui and other Japanese pirates' main force will stick to Daegu or Changning, or divide their troops to guard these two places, and act as the horns of each other. The best result is nothing more than a stalemate with our heavenly soldiers on this front.

But at this time, the stalemate is definitely not a way out for the Japanese pirates. There are two reasons: First, Pusan, the most important maritime transshipment hub of the Japanese pirates, has been blocked by our Pingwa fleet, and the Japanese invaders have been cut off from the Japanese mainland.

In this way, even though they may still have some small and fast ships that can sneak in and out, all they can do is deliver letters, such as food, ordnance, etc., it is absolutely impossible to hide from our Pingwa fleet.Therefore, it can be said that the entire Japanese invasion army has now become a lone army. If the route cannot be resumed as soon as possible, it will be defeated after a long period of hardship. "

Gao Wushi nodded and asked, "What about the second?"

"Secondly, it is worrying about the food storage of the Japanese invaders." Gao Qi said: "Because Busan is an important transshipment hub, there may still be a lot of military supplies and other goods, but the nearly [-] Japanese troops who went south from Hanyang are dispatched temporarily. , must not carry a large amount of supplies.

Coupled with the fact that they were harassed by Li Ziqing so many times on their way south, there must have been a lot of losses in supplies. My nephew even suspected that they were already facing a shortage of food, gunpowder and other supplies.

In addition, from the perspective of the Japanese army as a whole, because our heavenly soldiers suddenly occupied Jinju, a strategically important southern part of Korea, Busan in the east of the south and Jeolla-do in the west of the south were cut off.

Afterwards, the Japanese pirate Hanyang army went south, and our heavenly soldiers occupied Hanyang and sent Li Ziqing to follow and chase the main force of the Japanese army, so the connection between Chungcheongdo and the Japanese pirates was also broken.

It is entirely foreseeable that after Admiral Ma completes the resettlement of the Hanyang area and the return of the King of Joseon to Beijing, our Heavenly Soldiers or the Joseon court will definitely recover Chungcheong Province...of course, including Gangwon Province.

Uncle, Gyeonggi-do, Jeolla-do, and Chungcheong-do are the granaries of North Korea. The Japanese pirates are all lost now, and they have also cut off shipping. How can they support themselves only by storing food in Busan?Therefore, if Kuroda Rushui wants to reverse the situation, he must also solve the problem of food and grass. "

"The analysis is good, so what is your conclusion?" Gao Wushi nodded slightly and asked with a smile.

It may be because of the long speech just now, Gao Qi swallowed and moistened his throat, and then said: "The two points mentioned by my nephew just now, in fact, from Kuroda Rushui's point of view, I'm afraid they can be combined into one. of."

He paused, and continued: "Sichuan has now become the temporary anchorage of our Pingwa fleet, and uncle, you have also placed the strategic line here, which makes it necessary to support Liu Zongjun and Chieftain at the same time. The supply of food and grass for each ministry and the entire Pingwa fleet.

Kuroda Rushui may not know exactly how much food and grass we have brought in, and he may not know the scale of the follow-up replenishment, but he can at least make a simple judgment: I have [-] land divisions in Sacheon, and the navy division is at least [-] in terms of scale. There are [-] soldiers, which is [-] troops.

The Japanese pirates have been fighting our Heavenly Soldiers since the year of Renchen, and we know that the food supplies of the Celestial Soldiers have always been much larger than that of the Japanese pirates (Note: Maybe it’s because the soldiers of the Ming Army are taller? Of course, it may also be because the Ming Army has a large number of cavalry, and the cavalry consumes more energy. The reason may even be because the Japanese have a tradition of eating less food, which was mentioned earlier in this book.), so my nephew judges that Kuroda Rushui and even the rest of the Japanese pirates’ generals may think that as long as they take Sacheon, they can get a lot of food and grass. At least it can solve his urgent needs.

In addition, since Kuroda Rushui likes to gamble, and likes to gamble a lot, once he can capture uncle in Sacheon...uh, uncle..."

"It doesn't matter." Gao Wushi knew why he stuttered suddenly, waved his hands indifferently, and said, "Since we are making assumptions from the enemy's standpoint, there is no need to be taboo. We are about to judge the worst possibility before we can make a hypothesis." Respond correctly. You continue to talk."

"Yes, thank you uncle for your understanding." Gao Qi dared to continue: "From Kuroda Rushui's point of view, as long as uncle can be captured and used as a bargaining chip, not only the Japanese invaders can be saved, but even uncle can be used as a bargaining chip. Threatened and forced the court to negotiate peace with the country of Wa.

Considering the uncle's status in the emperor's mind, and the trading methods such as buying hostages among the daimyos familiar to the Japanese generals, Kuroda Rushui and the others might think that as long as the uncle is captured, no matter how embarrassing the situation on the battlefield, they can Forcing the imperial court to agree to the "draining the Han River" they had proposed before, so as not only to obtain major benefits, but also to end the war decently. "

Gao Wushi glanced at Gao Wuzheng and Gao Wuruo, and asked, "You two think that what Yu Fu said makes sense?"

"What Yu Fu said is very true!" Gao Wuzheng expressed his opinion immediately, and said, "My little brother was thinking about this direction just now, but Yu Fu took a step earlier."

Gao Wuruo also said with emotion: "My younger brother is also willing to second the proposal. I didn't expect Yu Fu to have such attainments in military strategy. It's really... ah, it's really the blessing of the Xinzheng Gao family!"

Seeing that the two youngest uncles both agreed and praised him, Gao Qi hastily said a few words of humility, and then turned around and gave them two high hats, saying that he was just young and energetic and preempted him, and he hadn't fully figured it out yet. I jumped out to answer first, and the two uncles must have considered it more carefully.

Gao Wu's position in Gao's family is aloof. As long as they don't have any obvious conflicts, he doesn't care about how to maintain the relationship between them. Then it’s time to talk about how he can achieve this goal. Anyone of you who has an idea can speak up and tell the truth.”

Gao Qi opened his mouth, but suddenly closed it again. He lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet.Gao Wuzheng just took a look at him, and seeing this, he hesitated for a while, and finally remained silent.

Only Gao Wuruo, the youngest brother of Gao Wushi who was born as a concubine, didn't notice the expressions of the two of them. He made some calculations on his own, and then said in a deep voice: "Just now when elder brother pointed out Yu Fu, he mentioned that soldiers are precious and fast, and I think so." The little brother thinks that since Kuroda Rushui wants to gamble big, he must be fast. However, he can't cross the river near Changning, lest he will run into Liu Zongrong head-on after crossing the river. Needless to say for the time being, at least it was a waste of time.

Therefore, the younger brother thinks that he will lead his army to continue southward, bypassing the line of defense that Liu Zongrong may have set up in the west of Changning, but cross the river north of Mashan and Xiongchuan, and then make every effort to quickly go west, where Liu Zongrong The Rong Suo Department came straight to Sacheon before they found out!

Of course, Liu Zongrong's cavalry is limited, and even if he finds out, as long as the discovery is not early enough, then maybe Kuroda Rushui will think that it does not pose a major threat to them. "

After Gao Wuruo finished speaking, he looked eagerly at Gao Wushi, hoping to get his brother's affirmation.Seeing this, Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and said, "There is progress."

Gao Wuruo heaved a sigh of relief, and his face was bright, but Gao Wushi said again: "But I'm afraid this is not the real plan of Heitian Rushui." After speaking, he looked at Gao Wuzheng and Gao Qi.

Gao Qi continued to keep his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, as if he was still bowing his head in thought.Gao Wuzheng glanced at him, hesitating as if not sure whether to say or not.

At this time, Gao Wushi suddenly spoke again, and said, "An insight into the world is knowledge, and a mastery of human relationships is an article. However, if a family only has human relationships, what kind of family is it?"

Gao Wuzheng coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, according to my humble opinion, Kuroda Rushui may have made an extra stratagem."

"How?" Gao Wushi asked.

"Brother's advice just now is not only 'Soldiers are precious and fast', there are four words before it, that is 'predict the enemy's opportunity first', the younger brother thought that this meant that Kuroda Rushui can think about the opponent's thoughts. So the younger brother After thinking about it, he thought that Kuroda Rushui should have thought of deceiving Li Ziqing and Liu Xingwu first, and then took advantage of their unpreparedness to take Sacheon.

If you want to deceive the two of them, the best way is to follow their train of thought first, and then change your purpose suddenly-so I think, Kuroda Rushui should make the gesture of going straight to Busan first, and then find This is a chance to get rid of Liu and Li, and change the way to attack Sacheon!
