Hanbo

Chapter 231 Aggressive and Cautious

"Then what do you mean by luring the enemy deep?"

Xu Ziwei cupped his hands, continued to point at the sand table with a wooden stick and said:

"To the governor, our army has abandoned the Huangzhong theater, and the Qiang people are greedy. When they learn that the old general has passed away and our army has no leader, they will not be satisfied with a Huangzhong theater. .”

Everyone nodded, and the generals of the Hu Qiang School Lieutenant Department agreed with Xu Ziwei's words even more.

The Qiang people never gave up their plans to attack the Han, retake Longxi and other places, and enter Hexi.

Even the Qiang people know that they are no match for the big man, but relying on the geographical advantage that the big man can't do anything to them, they will come to harass them every year.

This means that they never gave up on this plan.

The death of General Li Xi was a rare opportunity for them, how could they give up this opportunity?

"So, the last general's thinking is that we don't care about them when they are gathering an army, and our army can't control them if they gather an army here.

If we really fight there, the distance is too long and the danger is too great. Even if our army wins, they will flee in all directions, and they will not cause too many casualties. "

Huo Shan and everyone nodded:

"Okay, let's settle this point first, and you continue to talk."

The generals of the Huqiang Captain's Department felt that something was wrong, why did they feel that these two were playing double reeds!

But Xu Ziwei spoke up again, and they had no choice but to put the idea behind them.

"And when the Qiang people led the army into the Huangzhong theater, our army only needs to keep an eye on their actions, and we don't need to take extra care.

This area was originally the bait thrown to them by our army, just let them eat it. "

Everyone still nodded.

Looking at the Qiang people, you can't compare them with the big Han people. If they are big Han people, as long as they are not stupid, they can eat it with peace of mind, but they will still have doubts in their hearts.

It can't even be described as doubt, uneasiness, restless sleep and food are more appropriate, because he will think, is there some kind of conspiracy in it?
After all, in such a large area, such a good pasture is just released?
And it's still when you have the upper hand.

But the Qiang people don’t think so, if you gave them this area, the Qiang people will not think that you gave it to them, they will only think that their army frightened you, and it was taken by them.

Then it will stimulate their greater greed, and they will want more places in their hearts.

From Li Xi's strategy every time, they can see clearly every time they are fooled.

Qiang people, you say they are stupid, although they are not as good as the big Han people, but they are not very stupid.

But you say they're smart, well, they're pretty dumb.

This aspect cannot explain this problem, but it can only be attributed to the difference in the way of thinking caused by the accumulation of cultural differences.

You say they are stupid, they are indeed stupid, but there are always moments of brilliance, so it is right not to underestimate the enemy, but it is not good to be too cautious.

When to be cautious and when to be aggressive depends on the general's ability, which is an essential quality of a famous general.

Prudence and aggressiveness are not two definite words.

Be cautious when you should be cautious, and you have to be aggressive when you should be aggressive.

There is aggressiveness in prudence, and there is prudence in aggressiveness. This is the same as there is yang in yin, and yin in yang. It is not absolute, and it depends on how you grasp it.

Looking at the nomads, let’s not talk about Mongolia in the back. In the early and mid-term stage, there are many famous generals in the farming civilization of the Central Plains, but the nomads in the early and mid-term, where are the famous generals!
Even if they call themselves famous generals, they are only relying on their bravery. When they arrive in China, they will be a fierce general, and even a fierce general may not be ranked.

So, to fight a war, it still depends on your Chinese ancestors!

.........

"When the Qiang people occupy the Huangzhong war zone, our army can directly abandon the front-line military fort, and then directly lure them into the enemy."

Hearing this, the faces of the generals of the Huqiang Captain's Department changed again and again. Just as they were about to refute, Huo Shan raised his hand to stop them, and said to Xu Ziwei:
"Go on."

"promise!"

Xu Ziwei cupped his hands and continued:

"When the Qiang people are placed in the defensive line of battle, our army will not set up obstacles, let the enemy enter the front line step by step, and let the Qiang people attack the Qiang city.

Although Huqiang City is a small city, it is extremely strong, with defensive barriers on both sides, the army cannot break through, and there are military fort guard horns.

Moreover, if the Qiang people do not attack and protect the Qiang city, if the Qiang people invade the Han, our army will be able to directly cut off their escape route, and they will be in danger if they cannot return home.

Therefore, the Qiang people can only attack the city, and with [-] soldiers and horses defending, even if they come with an army of [-], and they are all cavalry, the Qiang people cannot break through this terrain.

And with the time for the Qiang people to attack the city, our army's cavalry can be deployed calmly, or take the Dashan area, or take the Dahe theater to circle a large rear area, come to the main escape route, and cut off their retreat.

As the attacking side, the Qiang people did not carry much food and grass. When they had no choice but to retreat, they would find that our army had trapped them to death.

At this time, our army will play the name of the commander-in-chief again, attack the enemy's heart first, and then rush to kill, eating away at it step by step. After killing enough [-] heads, our army can calmly surrender the remaining soldiers and horses. "

After Xu Ziwei finished speaking enthusiastically, he smiled and cupped his hands at Huo Shan:

"Governor, the minister is finished."

Huo Shan nodded, stroking his chin, thinking about Xu Ziwei's strategy.

Xu Ziwei's strategy is actually very similar to Huo Shan's strategy, but it is only very similar. There are many problems in Xu Ziwei's strategy.

Huo Shan raised his head and looked at Captain Qiang, the guard who was staring at him closely, and said:
"You said."

The guard Qiang Xiaowei hastily bowed his hands and saluted:
"Reporting to the Governor, Lieutenant Huben's strategy is indeed very good, most of which, the general also agrees with.

But the military fort in front must not be lost. If the Qiang people do not want to attack again, or if the siege is not successful, after they occupy the military fort, there will be the Huangzhong War Zone in the rear to produce cattle and sheep for them.

Then they are stuck in the military fort, and the difficulty of our future attack will be greatly increased. "

Huo Shan nodded and looked at Xu Ziwei:
"What excuse?"

Xu Ziwei cupped his hands at Huo Shangong, and said to the leading guard Qiang Xiaowei:
"This is just a necessary strategy. Our army's siege is on the main escape route, 150 miles away from the frontier military fort.

Even if the Qiang occupied the military forts, they must not have much food and grass. Even if they occupied these military forts, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. "

Huo Shan looked at Captain Qiang again, he cupped his hands and said to Xu Ziwei:
"The 150 miles you mentioned is only the maximum distance, and you didn't understand me.

What I mean is, what if the Qiang people occupy the military fort and don't want to attack again?
If this is the case, what you said is luring the enemy to go deep, and then the siege is impossible to realize. Our side lost the military fort and the Huangzhong theater for nothing, and it will be winter in a blink of an eye, then things will be troublesome. "

Xu Ziwei immediately bowed his hands and started to refute again. After he finished his refute, the guard Qiang Xiaowei began to refute again.

Huo Shan's head also turned as the two talked, he looked at whoever spoke, but he was actually thinking about other things.

In general, both of them are right, but neither is right.

It is very obvious that one is aggressive and the other is cautious.

Xu Ziwei wants to achieve the greatest result. In his opinion, for such a great result, these risks that are not very harmful to the big man can be taken.

In the eyes of Captain Hu Qiang, this risk cannot be taken, the risk involved is too great, if Xu Ziwei fails to succeed, then all their hard work over the past ten years will be in vain.

And what he said is very likely to happen.

Huo Shan knocked on the edge of the sand table, and when the two stopped, Huo Shan first looked at the leading guard Qiang Xiaowei:

"If you want to achieve a big result, you have to take some risks, but if you only have this big result in front of you and you don't see the risk, that is the biggest risk."

Afterwards, Huo Shan ignored the captain Qiang and turned to look at Xu Ziwei who was smiling:

"Don't laugh, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Xu Ziwei arched his hands:

"Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief."

"Let me ask you, when the Qiang people come to attack, they must be able to investigate. How did you pass your cavalry army through the Qiang people and reach the Qiang people's rear?"

"Back to the governor, the minister's strategy is to go through the three hundred miles of mountains..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Shan:
"Do the soldiers know the way?"

"Back to the governor, there are guides, and there are wolves!"

Huo Shan nodded, and then asked:

"What if we encounter Qiang soldiers by accident, or are scouted by Qiang scouts?"

Before Xu Ziwei could reply, Huo Shan continued:
"Don't tell me that this accident is impossible, don't tell me that there are wolves, and the army can avoid it.

As a leading general, you have to take into account any kind of accident, even if it is extremely unlikely.

If you can’t help it, you can’t help it. It’s because God didn’t take care of you, but if you didn’t consider it, that’s your problem. "

Xu Ziwei saluted, thought for a while and said:
"If this is the case, I will order an expedited march to get ahead of the Qiang people. If you are one step late, then bite them and wait for my soldiers and horses who detour from the river to stop them in front, rebuild the encirclement, or directly fight in the field .”

Huo Shan nodded after hearing this:

"I think it's good to deal with Ben Hou in the front, but what if your soldiers and horses in Dahe encounter obstacles on the road, for example, the road is difficult to walk, and they encounter enemy troops by chance, which delays the march?"

Xu Ziwei was a little embarrassed, arched his hands and said:
"The Qiang man ran away."

Huo Shan laughed dumbfoundedly:

"You are calm."

Xu Ziwei laughed and scratched his head.

Huo Shan looked around and asked:
"Is there anyone else who offers suggestions?"

Everyone saluted together, but they didn't speak. Huo Shan sighed and shouted:
"Roubold."

"The end is here."

"I order you to arrange everything for the soldiers and horses of Lingju's third department tomorrow. The next day, let Judu Lieutenant lead the troops out of the city and go to the front-line military fort to station. They will return the soldiers and horses in the fort and return them to other departments to include the cavalry."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Captain Yueqi."

"The end is here."

"I order you to select four thousand soldiers and horses from the Yue Cavalry Department, and arrange them tomorrow. After sunrise, the city will be replaced by soldiers and horses from the Pingyuan Military Fort."

"The last general takes orders!"

After Huo Shan finished speaking, he looked around:
"Let's just leave it at that, the enemy army hasn't come yet, we will discuss it after we know the specific situation, let's go!"

After speaking, Huo Shan turned around and left without making any other detailed arrangements.

The strategy in his mind is actually the combination of the two.

There are lure the enemy to go deep, there are encirclement, and there is also a big river to divide the troops. Of course, he can't let go of the fortress garrison. The plans for various measures are the same as those of the two, but there are also opposites.

But there is no need to say so much at this time, and it may be leaked. Let's talk about it after the Qiang people come in a few days!
