Chapter 506: How to Expedition North


Wen Anzhi said softly.

He also heard about the fighting methods of the old Western Army and the Shun Army.

These half-way monks have no scruples like the regular army.

If you can win, fight; if you can't, run away.

He even took the initiative to sell flaws to lure the enemy into taking the bait.

In their eyes, there is no burden or scruple, and everything is aimed at winning.

This is certainly true on the battlefield, and Wen Anzhi still wants to listen to Li Dingguo's experience.

"Keep talking."

"Yes, Futai."

Li Dingguo paused and tried to calm down.

"Now that the Tartars are weak, we have no reason to sell holes.

So taking the initiative is the only option.

But the attack must be crisp and beautiful, breaking the Tartars' bones and weakening their confidence.

Even if the enemy cannot be defeated with one blow, we must They beat it."

What Li Dingguo said was decisive and domineering, causing all the generals present to nod.

"How to arrange the troops specifically?"

Wen Anzhi asked.

"Futai can first use hot-air balloon teams to burn the Tatars' granaries to cut off their food supply.

Then send the main force to siege the city and rescue the Tatars."

Li Dingguo was well prepared and blurted out.

"This is a good idea."

Wen Anzhi nodded slightly.

Besieging a city for reinforcements has been a clever plan since ancient times.

As long as the absolute strength can steadily suppress the opponent's siege and support, there will be no problem.

The strength here refers not only to military strength, but also to food and grass.

If the defenders had enough food and grass, they wouldn't panic, and they would be running out of food at worst.

If you don't let me out, I won't let you in.

But if the defenders don't have enough food and grass, trouble will come.

Their mood will become more and more irritable and anxious.

Angry emotions will burst out instantly after food is cut off.

They will instinctively search for anything they can eat, starting with rats and then eating humans after all the rats have been eaten.

Although cannibalism is something that people are ashamed to talk about, when faced with life and death, most people would choose to die as a Taoist friend rather than die as a poor Taoist.

Women and children are eaten first because they are the weakest.

Then he started eating the old man.

After the old man has finished eating, he will start eating the young man.

Just thinking about this process is terrifying.

When the Tatars besieged Dalinghe, the soldiers in the city did this.

When they finally surrendered, there were almost no living creatures in the city except soldiers.

Although this method is very radical, it may lead to many innocent people being eaten by the Tatars.

But Wen Anzhi knew very well that this was the best way.

“But it’s not easy to cross the vast mountains.”

Wen Anzhi did not expect to rely on hot air balloons to send all the soldiers to Hanzhong City.

This thing can only be used occasionally to carry out surprise attacks.

If it is used too much, the effect will be greatly reduced.

"There will be a plan in the end."

Li Dingguo said with his hands clasped in fists.

"Tell me about it."

"The Tatars will definitely set up heavy troops at various dangerous mountain passes, so we can send people to pretend to be merchants who secretly communicate with them."

Hearing this sentence, Wen Anzhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"You mean to send someone to proactively contact Donglu about selling grain?"

Wen Anzhi asked urgently.

"Futai Yingming.

The line between the Tatars and the grain merchants in the direction of Chengdu is broken, and they will definitely seek other possibilities.

If we bury a hidden stake at this time, the effect will definitely be very good."

Li Dingguo paused and then continued: "Maybe they were just interested at first.

But if they wait until the hot air balloon team burns the Tatar granary clean, they will be anxious."

This time everyone looked at Li Dingguo with admiration.

It turns out that this is not only a clever plan but also a serial plan.

The strategy itself echoes the previous burning of the granary, causing the Tatars to step into the abyss step by step.

Perhaps when the Tatars were stuck in the quagmire, they didn't know that they themselves had trapped themselves to death.

"This method is good, but you need to choose a suitable candidate."

Li Dingguo muttered: "The general has a few candidates in his mind.

I wonder if they can catch the eye of Lord Futai."

"Let's talk and listen."

Wen Anzhi said calmly.

"This businessman's name is Qi Cheng.

He often does grain business between Sichuan and Yunnan.

He has rich resources."

Li Dingguo's tone was very calm.

But Wen Anzhi believed that this was definitely unusual.

As the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo stayed in Sichuan as a ruler for a long period of time.

Although Li Dingguo is not as good as Sun Kewang in domestic affairs, it does not mean that he has made no achievements.

Especially when it comes to the transfer of military rations, he must have dealt with grain merchants to some extent.

Wen Anzhi guessed that Qi Cheng was the grain merchant who had cooperated with Li Dingguo.

However, Wen Anzhi had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

Li Dingguo has surrendered, but some things should not be pushed too hard.

Otherwise, it will easily cause Li Dingguo's discomfort and the effect will be counterproductive.

"Is this person reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable.

The general is willing to use his head as a guarantee."

Li Dingguo said swornly.

Wen Anzhi pushed his hand: "There is no need to issue a military order.

I believe in you, so I will leave this matter to you."

Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this.

He had been thinking about how to gain Wen Anzhi's trust since his return, and now he finally found the opportunity.

"The general will obey his orders" "There is one more thing I want to talk about in advance."

Wen Anzhi glanced at the crowd and said firmly: "In this Northern Expedition, we are not allowed to kill good people to take advantage of merit.

If we find any, we will kill them immediately."

Wen Anzhi also knew the joy of the old army.

Killing good people and taking credit for their crimes seems to them to be normal.

But this is absolutely unacceptable to Wen Anzhi.

In his opinion, the difference between humans and animals is that humans have a bottom line and animals do not.

And if they, as officers and soldiers, kill innocent people indiscriminately and take merit for the sake of a mere leader, what is the difference between them and livestock?

Wen Anzhi didn't want to pursue the previous matter any further.

But he must now set a tone.

From now on, those who dare to kill good people and take credit must be severely punished.

Otherwise, where is his prestige, where is the image of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, and where is the military discipline?

"The general will obey his orders" Everyone clasped their fists and accepted the order.

No matter what their true thoughts are, on this occasion they must take orders without hesitation.

Otherwise it would be a challenge to Wen'an's prestige.

All in all, Wen Anzhi was still a civil servant who could convince them.

He is very different from other civil servants.

He knows basic things about marching and fighting.

There will be no situation where laymen command experts.

Many of Wen Anzhi's decisions are also very insightful, which makes people sincerely admire him.

In addition, Wen Anzhi also treated all generals and soldiers equally and would not treat them differently based on their status and background.

In this case, as long as their own vital interests are not touched, the generals will not violate Wen Anzhi's will.

They firmly believe that as long as they follow Wen Anzhi and work hard, they will be able to achieve great results
