The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 227 Discuss Policy
He looked down at the sand table with several square meters, and said: "Yuan army is like a net, our army is like fish."

Zhao Dongting was a little dazed, looking at Qin Han with puffy eyes.Sometimes he doesn't like the habit of the ancients, talking in a mysterious way, is he tired?Just ask if you are tired?
Qin Han, however, was completely unconscious, and said to himself: "Our army leader is in Pingnan and Leizhou. He stands still and is like a fish. The Yuan army is like a net."

Zhao Dongting tapped between his eyebrows, "Then which fish do you think they will catch first?"

Qin Han said calmly: "Pingnan."

"Can't you?"

Zhao Dongting showed surprise: "Will the Yuan army attack Pingnan first?"

He pointed to the top of the sand table, "I have heavily guarded cities such as Pingnan, Cenxi, and Yangshou, and Wuzhou has an army of 20. Will the Yuan army come to attack Pingnan with no luck? Wuzhou alone has 10 troops." The army can block 15 Yuan troops! Unless Boyan takes a detour, they can take a detour, their battle line will be stretched longer, and the food supplies can keep up? Moreover, even if they spare Wuzhou to Pingnan With an army of [-] yuan in Guangdong and Kuizhou, it is not easy to take down my [-] soldiers and horses in a short period of time, right? Do you really think the Yuan army will pick the hard nuts?"

Zhao Dongting thought in his heart that if he was himself, he would never choose to attack Pingnan first.

Leizhou only had more than 3 defenders from Liu Hongyi, but it was the top priority of the Song Dynasty. How much trouble would it save to take Leizhou directly?
If Leizhou is broken, Pingnan's army's logistics supplies will be cut off.When the logistical supply is cut off, there will be stragglers, just like Ali Hague at the beginning, the defeat is only a matter of time.

What's more, Leizhou is much easier to attack than Pingnan.

If the positions of the two sides were reversed, Zhao Dongting thought, he would definitely win Leizhou as quickly as possible.

Even if it fails to win in a short time, the Song Army's troops in Pingnan will surely rush to help. If the Song Army moves, isn't there a chance?

In war, there are always opportunities for war.If you seize these opportunities, you will have a great chance of winning.

This is what Zhao Dongting saw in the military book, and he took it for granted.

A person like Qin Han who can almost completely consider the various trends of the entire battle situation is a ghost, rare in the world, and ordinary people can only try their best to grasp every change of occupation, and then wait for the opportunity to seize the opportunity of victory.

Zhao Dongting's reasoning obviously had some basis.

However, Qin Han shook his head slightly and said, "The Yuan army must attack Pingnan first."

There was a burning color in his eyes, with strong and unquestionable confidence, "It has been nearly a year and a half since the emperor regained and defeated Ali Haiya, and regained Guangxi South Road. Why does the emperor think that the Yuan army took such a long time to prepare?" ?”

Zhao Dongting said: "Naturally, I want to defeat our dynasty in one fell swoop."

"Ah."

Qin Han nodded, "The Yuan Dynasty seeks stability, so they must attack Pingnan first. Because only in this way, the whole battle situation will be stable."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Dongting finally came to his senses.

Yes, I am an opportunist, but the Yuan Dynasty is powerful, but it is not an opportunist.They should choose the safest way.

And given the current situation of both Song and Yuan, what is the safest way?
Zhao Dongting pondered for a moment, looked at Qin Han again, and said softly: "Yesu'er first attacked Pingnan, and Boyan took advantage of the situation to take Leizhou?"

He was inevitably a little dignified.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the Yuan army's offensive policy.Rather, until now, I haven't been able to think of a way to deal with it.

However, if the Yuan army attacked Leizhou first, he would have already figured out how to deal with it.

Qin Han probably didn't expect Zhao Dongting to understand what he was thinking so quickly, a rare look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said, "That's right. It's just that there is probably no strategy for Ye Su'er to attack Pingnan, and Boyan There are many ways to take Leizhou. He can first pretend to take a detour to attack Pingnan, but take Leizhou by false route, or he can leave his troops to attack Leizhou by sea. There may even be other Yuan troops who marched into Leizhou by sea. Not impossible."

In the final analysis, the strength of the Song Dynasty is still far behind that of the Yuan Dynasty.

In terms of troop deployment and strategic policy, the Yuan Dynasty could have many choices.In the Song Dynasty, however, they could only deal with it passively.

Zhao Dongting also felt some pain in Naoren'er, and said, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Wen Tianxiang next to him also frowned.

In fact, he is not particularly good at large-scale combat, because he has no experience.In the past, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty did not have more than [-] people for him to command.

Le Wuhui clasped his hands, but the old god was there.

He is not a general, nor does he know the art of war, but he is only responsible for protecting Zhao Dongting's safety.It's really easy now.

Even, seeing Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Dongting frowning deeply, Le Wuwei felt a little dark in his heart.

It seems that being a martial artist is also good, at least there are not so many things to worry about.

When Qin Han heard Zhao Dongting's words, his voice suddenly became a little heavy, and he said: "The Yuan army is powerful. If the emperor wants to change the current situation, he has only three choices. One is to send the army into Shu, unite with Shu, and there are other options." Dali fights against the Yuan together, and plans slowly. Second, abandon Guangxi and retreat to Leizhou. With the current strength of the Song army, it is unwise to defend the two places separately. Even if they block the Yuan army, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

He raised his third finger, "Thirdly, use advance as retreat, attack Boyan first!"

Zhao Dongting's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after hearing Qin Han's three strategies, he said, "Can't you continue to sit in Pingnan?"

He thought that Qin Han had something to do, after all, Qin Han was known as the genius of Guigu Academy.

Aren't ghosts able to do what ordinary people can't?
Qin Han shook his head, "If a scholar is not handsome, he is a dead chess player."

Zhao Dongting suddenly understood what he meant.

Right now, the 15 soldiers in the five cities of Pingnan are "scholars", while the court in Leizhou is "handsome".The soldiers are too far away from the handsome, beyond the reach of the whip.

Even with Qin Han's ability, if Pingnan's army was held back by Ye Su'er, it would be impossible to save Leizhou again.

And Leizhou, can it stop Boyan's attack?
Zhao Dongting had great hope that he would not report this.After all, Leizhou's troops were much smaller than Boyan's, even if Qiongzhou sent reinforcements, it would be difficult to resist.

He began to think about Qin Han's three strategies.

Sending troops into Shu?

This is impossible!

Zhao Dongting was not happy with Shuzhong, and Shuzhong had an ambiguous attitude. He really believed in Qin Han's command to send troops into Shu, but the result is hard to predict.

Maybe Shuzhong is also an enemy?

Abandon Guangxi and defend Leizhou?Bring all these 15 soldiers and horses back to Leizhou, and concentrate on resisting the Yuan army's attack?
Zhao Dongting felt that this would not work either.

The territory of Leizhou is too small to support so many people.Furthermore, how could he just give up on a situation that had been opened up with great difficulty?
How many people can be supported on such a large site.

If the Song Dynasty had only 20 to [-] troops, it would be fine to defend Leizhou to the death.But now that there are more than [-] strong troops, how can they hide in a mere state in Leizhou?
Thus, only the third strategy remains.Take advance as retreat, attack Boyan.

Zhao Dongting said quietly: "If you attack Boyan, what are your chances of winning?"

Qin Han seemed to have already expected that Zhao Dongting would choose this way, and blurted out: "Thirty percent."

Zhao Dongting frowned again, "So low?"

Qin Han said: "Our attack on Boyan can solve the temporary embarrassment. But with a huge army, Boyan cannot fail to receive the news, and he will definitely intercept us in Guangdong. And with the Yuan army's most accustomed way of fighting, Kuizhou is also fast. They will probably take advantage of the situation to copy our army's rear, or even go straight to Leizhou. In addition, the Yuan army defenders on Jingnan South Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Fujian Road, as well as other Yuan troops from other coastal roads, may rush to help Guangdong. I said [-]%, which is quite optimistic."

"With the current situation of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to have a [-]% chance of winning a war with the Yuan Dynasty."

Qin Han finally revealed this cruel fact.However, there was no sign of depression on his face, and he was still as confident and calm as ever.

It is because of adversity that he can show the ability of a ghost like him, right?

If the Song Dynasty was a tiger and the Yuan Dynasty was a wolf, what challenge would it have to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?What else is there to show off?

Zhao Dongting unconsciously clasped the edge of the sand table with his fingers, and said, "Let me think about this matter again!"

He didn't want to listen to Qin Han after all.Qin Han came up with three strategies, why couldn't he come up with other strategies?
This made Zhao Dongting feel like being led by the nose by Qin Han.

At present, the Yuan army has not yet moved, even if it attacks today, it will take time to attack Guangxi or Leizhou.Zhao Dongting felt that he still had time to think.

Qin Han didn't say much, nodded, and left the hall straight away.

Wen Tianxiang waited for him to walk away, and said: "Your Majesty, if we abandon the defense of Pingnan and other cities, won't our hard work these days be in vain?"

These days, he has built the cities of Pingnan, Cenxi, and Shouyang like iron barrels.If it is abandoned, he will probably be the one who feels the most distressed.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help laughing, and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Think about the military order. Do we have any other options?"

After finishing speaking, he also left the side hall with Le Wuzhi, and went to his dormitory in the government office.

After traveling through mountains and rivers for so many days, I feel somewhat uncomfortable all over my body.The most important thing is to be tired.

Zhao Dongting felt that he had to take a good rest first, and then think about how to deal with the Yuan army.Think carefully.

In the courtyard, Zhao Dongting first asked his servants to fetch water, took a bath, and then went to sleep in the room.

It was already late at night when I woke up again.

There was a dim oil lamp in Zhao Dongting's room. He got up and sat under the lamp, and began to draw maps of Guangnan and Guangxi roads.
