The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 10

Analyzing and planning, seeing the leopard in the pipe, seeing the big when a leaf falls, seeing the big from the small, these are the things that counselors are good at.

Liu Ji has always claimed to be a famous person such as Wolongfengchu, etc. He often lamented that he was born at the wrong time, full of talents and ambitions, but no one appreciated them.

Jiang Chuan's question just tickled his itch, and the cowardly expression just now disappeared, and his whole face seemed to be shining brightly.

"General, there are three doubts about the officers and soldiers' raid today: First, the bandit den we are in is called Heiniu Mountain, and it is near the border.

Datong City, the closest city to Heiniu Mountain, is the only border town nearby.It is said that it is the closest, but it is actually more than 200 miles away.As far as I know, there are less than 200 bandits in Heiniu Mountain, and less than [-] of them are young and strong, and their combat effectiveness is ordinary, that is, they just cut trails and plundered near Heiniu Mountain. It is not eye-catching, it can be said that it is unknown.

Therefore, it is unreasonable for officers and soldiers to come from Datong City two hundred miles away to suppress such a group of unknown bandits and waste food and fodder. "

After Liu Ji said the first point, he looked at Jiang Chuan and found that he was listening to his family seriously. He was refreshed and continued: "The second point is that in recent years, the Manchu and Qing Tartars have often sent troops to harass and plunder the border. , and sometimes even send troops one or two hundred miles deep into the border to plunder property and capture women.

Datong City, as the largest border city nearby, naturally has the responsibility of guarding the land and keeping the people safe, so it is necessary to garrison troops everywhere to intercept them.In this way, the troops were even more dispersed.In addition, the rogues were rampant within the imperial court, and the imperial court was mobilizing soldiers and horses to chase and intercept them. There was no spare power to increase troops on the border, and even sent troops from the border back to the Central Plains many times to suppress the bandits.

In this way, it is even more impossible for Datong City to send extra troops to attack a group of little-known bandits.But today the officers and soldiers just came to suppress, it is really suspicious. "

After Liu Ji finished talking about the second point, seeing Jiang Chuan nodded, he felt even more excited, and his voice became louder, and continued: "This third, the officers and soldiers are clearly prepared this time. Of course, in the next The word "preparation" obviously means that the officers and soldiers rushed for a long distance of two hundred miles. It is very likely that they have made complete preparations before, and they are sure to capture the bandits in one fell swoop and wipe out all the bandits. The previous progress was also very smooth, almost according to the expectations of the officers and soldiers. It was carried out. It was only at the end that they encountered the general's magical soldiers attacking, and then they fell short and retreated hastily.

Just think about it, general, if the officers and soldiers really intend to suppress the bandits, as far as I know, there are several places near Datong City where the number of people, food, grass, and property far exceed those of the bandits in Heiniu Mountain. What about Heiniu Mountain?This also shows from the side that the officers and soldiers had made complete preparations before. If my expectations are not bad, it should be that the officers and soldiers have internal support in Heiniu Mountain, so that they can be sure to wipe out the Heiniu Mountain bandits in one fell swoop. "

Jiang Chuan listened to Liu Ji's eloquent talk, and his heart began to gradually open up. This guy really has two brushes, and such a one-two-three analysis seems to be really the case.

"That's right, it makes sense. Now that the three major doubts have come out, what's your conclusion?" Jiang Chuan nodded with an expression of admiration, as a compliment to Liu Ji.

But you can't praise it too much, otherwise this guy will probably start to pretend again.

Seeing Jiang Chuan's approval, Liu Ji became excited, stroked his long beard casually, and continued: "My conclusion is that someone in Datong City is going to run away!"

"Run?" Jiang Chuan was a little confused.

"That's right, the runaway I'm talking about below doesn't mean being a deserter, but that officials or generals in Datong City want to be transferred from Datong City to return to the imperial court or other inland state capitals to serve as officials."

Liu Ji's tone is full of affirmation, and his eyes are also full of energy at this time, obviously he is very sure of his judgment.

"I probably understand what you mean. You mean that the officials in Datong City do not want to stay in Datong as officials for some reason, so they have to find a way to transfer back to the mainland. But it is obviously not easy to transfer for no reason. But if there is It would be easier with some credit."

"As for the credit, in today's situation, it is either winning the war against the Tartars, or achieving success in encircling and suppressing the bandits. These two points are obviously not easy. Then, these officials focused on the third point: Suppression of bandits. Compared with Tartars and rogue bandits, these bandits are obviously easier to deal with. As for why you chose the bandits from Heiniu Mountain, it is obviously as you said, one has internal support, and the other is Heiniu Mountain. Bandits are more sloppy and easier to clean up. In this way, everything can be explained clearly."

After Liu Ji finished speaking, Jiang Chuan continued his words.

Jiang Chuanyue said that the brighter Liu Ji's eyes were, he obviously didn't expect that Jiang Chuan could make such a thorough analysis based on his own analysis and judgment, which was exactly what he thought.

"The general is wise, I bow to you!"

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Liu Ji bowed deeply to him, his expression more respectful than before.

Obviously, it was only at this time that he really admired Jiang Chuan a little bit, rather than the helpless act of being forced by the sword before.

However, Jiang Chuan smiled lightly, and was not complacent about it, but planned to continue to pretend this.

"However, I think it's more than that. Have you ever thought about why the officials in Datong City deliberately transferred out of Datong City?" Jiang Chuan asked, staring into Liu Ji's eyes.

"This, I haven't thought about it yet, I think the general must have already gained something, I would like to hear more about it!" Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, then slightly cupped his hands and said.

"That's right, he's a good guy, and he doesn't have a chance to compete with the lord." Jiang Chuan praised Liu Ji in his heart, and began to express his conclusion: "Actually, it's not hard to see that, for border officials, the most Of course, the most important duty is to protect the land, keep the people safe, and ensure the peace of the border. Since they are eager to transfer away, it means that there is a big problem on the border or that they are about to face a big problem. Then the problem arises, and obviously the biggest possibility comes from Tartar threat."

"Moreover, this threat is not the usual threat of a small group of troops. It is very likely that the Tartars are about to launch a major offensive against Datong City. Obviously, the chief officer of Datong City is aware of this danger, but There is nothing we can do, so we urgently want to transfer out of this place before the Tartars attack."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he saw Liu Ji staring at him with wide eyes. There was both surprise and appreciation in his eyes, which made Jiang Chuan feel a little embarrassed.

"I don't know what Lao Liu thinks of my analysis?" After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he wanted to show off again.

"The general's ability to make a leaf fall and the world know the autumn is something that Bowen has only seen in his life. In the past, Bowen boasted that he was extraordinary and was proud of his talents. Now he understands why there is someone in the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. General, please be respected by Bowen again!"

After Liu Ji finished speaking, he bowed deeply again. This time it took longer, and he bent down even lower. It was obvious that he had some sincere admiration for Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan didn't expect Liu Ji to worship him so much with just a few casual words, and he was a little embarrassed.

He felt that this was actually nothing, and it was easy to analyze and judge it by combining some intelligence and the general situation, and then using some logic.

He didn't know that what he thought was easy was great for the ancients.

The ancients had limited information, and many people spent their whole lives within a radius of dozens of miles from their homes, and had no concept of the world at all.

Only some scholars who are lucky enough to study abroad and businessmen who travel around have a general understanding of the geographical location and political situation of the world.

But modern people are different. In the era of information explosion, everyone can easily obtain all kinds of information, ranging from international trends to trivial matters. Under the influence of various information, the vision and way of thinking are of course not what the ancients could. compared to.

So Jiang Chuan felt that there was nothing special about the conclusion he drew, but for Liu Ji, it was astonishing. This is the huge cognitive gap caused by the difference of the times.
