The last three kingdoms

Chapter 816 Guerrilla
In the next few months, the situation became calmer. The Shu army occupied Yang'a, and Liu Yuan only sent Jie people and stone leopards to harass him once. After the entire army was wiped out, Liu Yuan did not send any more troops. So the two sides have been living in peace.

Liu Yin also took advantage of this opportunity to establish a solid base in the southern part of Shangdang. Because he defeated the Jie people and beheaded the Jie people's chief Shi Bao, Liu Yin won a high prestige among the Han people, and many young and strong men flocked. When they came to join the army, the ranks of the Shu army were also well supplemented, with neat soldiers and high fighting spirit.

The base area centered on Yang'a almost covered more than half of the southern part of Shangdang. Taking this opportunity of breaking the Jie people, the development of the Shu army is indeed in full swing, and the situation is very good.

Liu Yin not only followed the development of the Tiger Cavalry Army in the southern part of Shangdang, but also closely followed the development of the Tiger Infantry Army and Yong'an Army in the eastern and western parts of Shangdang, as well as the Left Army Corps entering Yanbei and the Right Army Corps entering Jizhou. Legion, only if these teams have made achievements, is the greatest achievement of this eastward division of troops.

Liu Yin has always been able to get accurate information about the development of the Tiger Army in the eastern part of the Shangdang and the Yong'an Army in the western part of the Shangdang.

Since the tiger cavalry army went south and attracted Liu Yuan's main force, the tiger infantry's eastward march was almost unimpeded, and it took root in the Taihang Mountains between Luxian and Xiangyuan smoothly. The county seat, but the vast area outside the county seat is under the control of the Tiger Army.

The eastern and northern areas of Shangdang are the lairs of the Jie people. The living conditions of the Han people in this area are the most miserable. Countless Han people were killed and eaten by the Jie people. Living in the surrounding Pingchuan area, they can only temporarily stay safe by escaping into the deep mountains and old forests.Therefore, the masses in this area have a good foundation. After the Shu army entered the eastern part of Shangdang, they were greatly supported by the Han people and regarded them as saviors.

Of course, Gao Yuan did not disappoint these Han people. After establishing a base in the mountainous area, the Tiger Army attacked everywhere, looking for fighters. If the Huns came to suppress them, they would take the initiative to avoid them and play hide-and-seek with the Huns in the deep mountains.If they encounter a small group of Hu people, the Tiger Army will eat them without mercy, especially the army and tribe of the Jie people. The Tiger Army will kill one by one, often the whole camp, the whole tribe, and the whole tribe. Landing on the pots, no matter men, women, old or young, all were slaughtered, which really made the Han people clap their hands and applaud.It is precisely because of the arrival of the Shu army that they can have a day when they can be proud.

The development of the Yong'an Army in Guyuan was also very good. After the main force of the Shu army withdrew, Luo Xi voluntarily abandoned Guyuan County and pulled the army into the deep mountains of Taiyue Mountain. After all, with the current strength of the Yong'an Army, it was still Those who are not enough to occupy the county seat, if they stick to Guyuan County, then the Yong'an Army will be in a passive position.

Abandoning Gu Yuan, on the surface, was the failure of the Yong'an Army, but since then, the Yong'an Army has been able to go into battle lightly, and calmly weave through the deep mountains and old forests of Taiyue Mountain, firmly grasping the initiative in their own hands.

Liu Yin defined this method of warfare as guerrilla warfare. The so-called guerrilla warfare means attacking from afar, swimming and fighting, and attacking the enemy from the dark.

The term guerrilla is no stranger to people in the army. In the Han Dynasty, there were guerrilla generals and guerrilla captains. The troops conduct harassment and sabotage operations against the enemy in order to achieve the intention of supporting the main force.

But putting all the troops into guerrilla warfare, no one has ever mentioned this tactic in previous art of war books, it seems to be Liu Yin's unprecedented and bold idea, and many people find it incredible.

Unprecedented, it seems good, but not necessarily unprecedented.

Liu Yin smiled slightly. After 800 years, what kind of waves this way of fighting will cause in the land of China is of course impossible for people today to know, but it is a good thing for useful things to be born earlier, let alone it will The peril used to save the entire Chinese nation will lead to the same goal as the years to come.

Before the division of troops, Liu Yin summoned the generals above the rank of Lang in the camp and taught them the sixteen-character formula of guerrilla: When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we disturb; when the enemy is tired, we attack;

Liu Yin once told Lu Xun about these sixteen-character formulas, and it was precisely because of Lu Xun's active learning and application that he survived the most difficult battle of Hanzhong. Have experience.

In just sixteen words, it contains the essence of guerrilla warfare. The enemy advances and we retreat. It is to avoid fighting with the enemy's main force, especially when its morale is high, to preserve the strength of our army, regardless of the situation of a city or a place. Gains and losses; when the enemy is stationed and we are harassing, when the enemy camps, we must continue to harass him, make him exhausted, lose fighting spirit and morale; when the enemy is tired, we fight, when the enemy is tired, it is the best time for our army to attack Take advantage of your illness to kill you. At this time, you must concentrate your superior forces and focus on annihilating the enemy's vital forces to achieve the dual goals of destroying the enemy and hitting the enemy's morale; Attacking, accumulating small victories into big victories, whenever there is an opportunity to destroy the enemy, it should never be let go.

Liu Yin asked the generals of all armies and battalions to learn and use the sixteen-character policy of guerrilla warfare, adapt measures to local conditions, take into account the actual local conditions, assess the situation, make changes when the opportunity arises, and preserve themselves as much as possible in guerrilla warfare. Destroy the enemy.

Gao Yuan and Luo Xi have been correctly implementing Liu Yin's plan, and have achieved fruitful results in Shangdang territory. In just a few months, the strength of the Shu army has grown a lot, and the area under its control has covered Within the six or seven counties of Shangdang County, the situation is very good.

However, due to the long distances and numerous passes along the way, Liu Yin was still unable to contact Fu Qian's Left Army Corps and Luo Xian's Right Army Corps, which made Liu Yin very concerned.These two groups of people are the foundation of the Shu army, and there is absolutely no room for loss. I hope they can create a world in a difficult environment.

This kind of peace only lasted for a few months. Obviously, it is impossible for the Huns to sit back and watch the Shu army expand indefinitely in his belly. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 10,000th, Liu Yuan gathered A large army of [-]+ was raised, divided into three groups, and began a large-scale "mopping up" of the three bases in the Shangdang area.
