Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 997
Chaohuataiji looked at Burihatu, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that although this person looked similar to himself, why did he feel strange?
He may not know the meaning of "temperament". Although Brihatu looks like a very ordinary Mongolian nobleman, he has read many books of Han people, especially military books and war strategies, and he is very familiar with them. During the period, it was inevitable that it would be contaminated with some Han literati.

Han Chinese literati have a calm temperament, and there are some pleasant rhetoric, such as "the wind is light and the clouds are calm", "lifting weights as light", "walking in the garden", "Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your face", etc. Of course, if Gao Yushi, a senior To express it as an actor, it may be described in one sentence: pretending to be forceful.

Han literati are the best at pretending to be coercive. This is a highly pragmatic conclusion.Apparently, while studying Sinology, Burihatu also learned this skill along the way, in addition to the tactics of military tactics.

Therefore, when Tumen and Chaohua asked him what kind of strategy he had at the same time, Buri Hatu stood with one hand behind his back, and with the other hand he waved Fang Qiu and pointed Jiangshan: "The strategy of dividing the army into ten places is indeed effective, but it will indeed be difficult. In the face of unpredictable losses, it is more or less nothing. Although it is feasible, it is hard to say the best strategy. I think the so-called best strategy is to obtain the greatest victory at the smallest cost, so I think of another strategy for the Great Khan and Taiwan. Good reference."

Of course Tumen and Chaohua had nothing to say, they nodded repeatedly asking him to come quickly.

Brihatu said: "This policy, speaking of it, is also inspired by the high pragmatism..."

Tumen and Chaohua couldn't help being taken aback, why did they still care about the person opposite?
Burihatu didn't explain, but said: "There is a saying in the art of war, what is false is true, and what is true is false. The way to win or lose is often hidden between the virtual and the real."

He pointed to the opposite side of the Liaohe River, and continued: "Now the situation before us is clear. The other party has a total of twenty or thirty gunboats. These gunboats have strong firepower and fast speed, and the people on board have excellent eyesight." Excellent, if you want to make a surprise attack with them, in fact, it is a competition of speed, and this speed used to be our magic weapon in all kinds of trials, but now it is a bit difficult, so we have to change our thinking."

Tumen hurriedly said that he was explaining this idiot Chaohua, which made him a little anxious, so he interrupted: "We all understand these principles, so you can just talk about how to break it."

Burihatu smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, let's talk about cracking it... This cracking method comes from the strategy of the Han people, which is called 'clearly repair the plank road, secretly cross the Chencang'."

Chaohua Taiji asked in astonishment: "Why are you building the plank road? Now you are crossing the river. Do you have to build a bridge if you want to build it? Also, where is Chen Cang? That place is very suitable for crossing the river?"

The muscles on Burihatu's cheeks twitched, and he looked towards the Tumen. Tumen dodged their eyes and coughed lightly: "This plank road and Chencang have nothing to do with us now. Brihatu said the name of a strategy. What happened When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought... right?"

The word "ba" is obviously a kind of lack of self-confidence, but he is really right. Brihatu expressed his understanding in his heart. It seems that after he persuaded him before, Da Khan may have really read some books, although he read roughly It's not deep, but it's still an improvement.

Therefore, he nodded with great satisfaction to express his affirmation, and praised: "Khan is knowledgeable and admirable. This strategy really came from the period when Chu and Han were fighting each other. I won't explain what it means, but just talk about how we are going to do it now." Build the plank road in the open, and cross the Chencang secretly'."

Chaohua Taiji sounds a little aggrieved, I don't understand the co-author?

He felt uncomfortable, and hearing that Buri Hatu was too lazy to explain, he felt that Buri Hatu was looking down on him, and he was even more unhappy, so he just gave a deep "hmm" and didn't say anything else.

Brihatu didn't notice the difference in Chaohua's mood, and continued: "We can camp at a position where the Ming army navy can see but can't reach, and then send people to cut down trees and make a plan to build ships to cross the river. However, in fact, most of these logs were not really used to build ships, but were used to make dummies, put on clothes, and stand in the camp..."

Tumen suddenly understood this time, his eyes lit up, and said: "Then, our main force will leave quietly, find another place to cross the river and surprise the Ming army's water village?"

Brihatu applauded and laughed loudly: "The Great Khan is wise, that's exactly what it is."

Tumen was a little flattered by his praise, stroked his beard vigorously, and said with a smile: "Hey, each other, each other, this is what the Han people say that heroes see alike."

Chaohua looked on coldly, but her thinking became clearer, and she thought, "Fuck each other, if Burihatu didn't talk about the idea of ​​building a bridge, you and I have a hero who has a fart."

Of course, no matter how stupid he was, he would never say this.

Unexpectedly, Brihatu added at this time: "However, although this plan is roughly the same, there are two points that need to be paid attention to. One is that our disguise must be good, and we must ensure that the other party will be deceived , so the tree-cutting and boat-building things must be done as if they were real, and the other party must not be able to see the flaws..."

"I have a question." Chaohua said coldly at this time: "Don't you want to build a ship by the river? Now that the Ming army has a powerful navy, we don't even dare to go near the river. How can we build a ship?"

Tumen was also taken aback when he heard that, and said in his heart: Yes, this seems to be a problem.

He then turned his gaze to Brihatu.

But Burihatu shook his head and said: "Zaohua Taiji may have misunderstood. What I call shipbuilding does not mean building a big ship like the Ming Army Navy, but just a small boat that can carry more than one person and one horse. The smaller kind of raft."

Chao Hua chuckled: "It's smaller than a leather raft, so what's the use? Will the Ming army on the opposite side believe it?"

As I said before, the Mongols carried skin bags on their expeditions, and they could cross shallow water after blowing air, but to cross deep water, they needed to connect multiple skin bags together, laying boards and other materials to form a skin raft.

The largest of these rafts can carry more than ten people and ten horses at one time, it is not too small, and it is relatively easy to disassemble.In contrast, the small boat proposed by Brihatu is probably equivalent to the small ferry boats of some ferrymen in the Han area. It can be carried by a few big men. Although it is relatively simple to build, its carrying capacity is very limited. , it does not seem to be of any bird use.

But Brihatu just smiled when he heard this question, and said calmly: "My Mongolian shipbuilding skills are not as good as Ming people, no matter how I build a 'big ship', I will only be beaten, and the bigger the ship, the easier it is for them to use cannons. But the small boats are different. Just imagine, if the Ming army thought that our army would go out together, but each one was just such a small boat, what use would their cannons be? When the battle becomes chaotic, they have guns. Waiting for a bow, who will win and who will lose, who can predict? Therefore, big ships are useless, but small ships can become a threat to the Ming army."

Tumen was overjoyed when he heard that, and laughed: "That's right, that's right, Ben Khan also thinks it's the same. Well, if we didn't fight like this, we might still suffer unnecessary losses, and Ben Khan can't wait to do it like this!"

After Chaohua heard it, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, it seemed to be the same reason when he thought about it. As long as the Ming army could feel that the large-scale boat building on their side would pose a serious threat to them, they would definitely focus on the camp. According to Brihatu's idea, using wooden figurines instead of real people, and shifting the main force to other places, it seems that they can really deceive the Ming army.

Seeing that Chaohua no longer doubted it, Burihatu continued: "The second thing to pay attention to is that we need to find a good place to cross the river. This place can neither be too far nor too close. If it is too far away, it will be difficult to surprise the Ming army's water village immediately after crossing the river, which may allow time for the opponent to strengthen the water village's land defense; if it is too close, it may be discovered by the opponent's horse while crossing the river, causing the navy to intercept it. Failed to cross the river."

After Chaohua heard it, she waved her hand: "This matter is easy to handle. I have sent people to run up and down the vicinity a few times in the past few days. I have already figured out the way. I will send people to check it out later. Choose the most suitable place to cross the river!"

Tumen nodded and said: "Alright, Ben Khan's department has just arrived, and it's full of travel and dust. It's really not as good as the people who fry you for this job, so I ask Taiji to take care of this."

Chaohua Taiji raised his chin slightly, and smiled: "It's easy to say, good to say, Da Khan and the warriors have a good rest, and we will meet the Ming army for real in a few days!"
