Shangguan Xiu waved his hands to everyone and said: "Generals, please sit down.
You can continue to discuss your affairs.
I can just watch and listen to you."
"Yes, Your Highness," the generals looked at each other and sat down one after another.
Shangguan Xiu looked at the generals, then at the map placed at the other end of the tent, and walked slowly over.
Yu Tong, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, first bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and then said to Yuchi Zhen: "General, now Qianlong City, Changting Town, and Lianping Town are at odds with each other.
Our army must be the first to eliminate them."
In this way, the enemy forces in Changting Town and Lianping Town can surround the main force of 200,000 enemy troops in Qianlong City."
Pang Ying frowned and said: "It's just that Changting Town and Lianping Town are not easy to fight.
They are called towns, but they are actually two small towns.
Changting Town has the Liao River and the Dongjiang River below.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Moreover, most of the territory is swampy, making it difficult to attack by force.
Lianping Town is located between ravines and canyons, and it is even more difficult for one man to guard the gate and ten thousand others to open it."
"Yes, our army has attacked these two places several times.
Each time, we lost our troops and returned without success."
"But if we don't capture Changting and Lianping first, if our army takes Qianlong City directly, it will inevitably be attacked by the enemy from three sides, and it will be difficult to win."
The generals were talking a lot, and they were at a loss as to the triangular defense formation put up by the Ningnan Army.
Just as people were talking about it, Shangguan Xiu, who was looking down at the map, suddenly said: "It's just to encircle a Qianlong City and trap two people."
One hundred thousand enemy troops are nothing.
To complete the encirclement of Ningnan's 500,000 Central Army troops in Mingshui County is what our army should consider."
After completing the encirclement of half a million enemy troops, upon hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, the expressions of all the generals present changed.
Attack the city three times and encircle the enemy ten times.
This is the theory of the law of war.
In Mingshui County, the Feng Army did not have as many troops as the Ningnan Army, but it actually had to complete the encirclement of the entire Ningnan Army.
Isn't this fantastic?
No one dared to say no in front of Shangguan Xiu, even if they were fanciful and foolish.
Yuchizhen stood up first, bowed and said: "How to complete the encirclement against the enemy, please give me your Highness's instructions."
Shangguanxiu turned to look at him, then looked at the others, and said with a smile: "I believe that all the generals already know every plant and tree in Mingshui County."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Shangguan Xiu meant.
It wasn't until Yuchi actually walked over to Shangguan Xiu and stood next to the map that everyone realized what they were doing.
They stood up and left the table, and gathered around the map.
Shangguan Xiu casually picked up a baton from the desk, clicked on the map, and said: "Split two groups of soldiers and horses, go all the way south, attack Gucheng and Qucheng, and separate the junction of Mingshui County and Leping County.
March westward, attack Qingcheng and Liangcheng, determine the junction of Mingshui County and Fengyuan County, capture these four cities, etc.
Because all the channels between Mingshui County and Ningnan were cut off, the Ningnan Army in Mingshui County became a lonely army.
If the Ningnan Army did not want to sit still and wait for death, it was bound to break out.
As long as the Ningnan Army chose to break through, It will also lose its solid advantage, and our army can fight a face-to-face decisive battle with it," After he finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.
Everyone frowned, looked down at the map, and pondered.
Yuchi Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, if we divide our forces to fight in this way, and it is a large-scale divided force, it is very likely that each of our army's units will be defeated one by one by the Ningnan Army."
"When fighting a war, there are bound to be risks.
If you want to win, it is inevitable to take some risks.
If you are afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger in the back, how can you win this battle?"
Most of the generals looked unhappy.
If they followed Shangguan Xiu's tactics, they would not even know how they died in the end.
We only had 500,000 troops, and we had to divide four groups to attack Gucheng and Gucheng.

If fewer troops are allocated to Qucheng, Qingcheng, and Liangcheng, even if they capture these four cities, it will not mean much.
If more troops are allocated, our own forces will be completely dispersed, and they will inevitably be defeated.
The Ningnan Army defeated them one by one with superior strength.
People shook their heads secretly, and finally looked at Yuchi Zhen.
The latter held his chin and stared at the map intently, as if he was really thinking seriously about the feasibility of Shangguan Xiu's tactics.
This time he thought for a long time, shook his head slowly, and said: "This is too risky, and I will eventually think it is not safe."
Shangguan Xiu snorted coldly and asked: "Then what kind of tactics does General Yuchi think is the safest?
Should we delay it indefinitely until the Ningnan people have made complete war preparations in the rear?
Reserves and strategic materials are continuously transported to the front line," "That's not what I meant, general," Yuchi said seriously: "The central army of Ningnan Army in Mingshui County has 500,000 people, and the local army has more than 100,000 people.
In addition, there are more than 10,000 people from the rivers and lakes to help Ningnan Army.
The total strength of the Southern Army in Mingshui County is actually far greater than that of our army.
Under such circumstances, our army has to divide its forces and encircle it.
I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed."
Shangguan Xiu's character can be judged by the tactics he formulated.
His appetite is too big.
To use an army of 500,000 to besiege the Ningnan Army of more than 600,000.
This is simply a fantasy.
It has not succeeded at all. possible, Shangguan Xiu sneered and asked: "Yu Chizhen, what do you think the advantage of our Feng Army is?
Is it well-equipped?
I'm afraid not.
The weapons and equipment of the Ningnan people are not inferior to our army.
Is the tactical concept advanced?
I'm afraid it's not."
Not necessarily, when the Ningnan people were using firearms and studying firearms tactics, we were still focusing on arrow formations.
So, what is the advantage of our army against the Ningnan army?"
All the generals looked at Shangguan Xiu with big eyes and small eyes, and they were all silent, including Yuchi Zhen.
Shangguan Xiu slammed the baton in his hand on the map and said in a loud voice: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Even though the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, even though we know we are outnumbered, our Feng Army soldiers still have the courage to draw their swords and fight with the enemy." , there are still people who don’t ask for beautiful clothes and jade belt but want to return home This is the strength of our Feng Army.
Our army is never afraid of a head-on confrontation with any enemy.
As long as we can draw the enemy out, as long as we can force the enemy to abandon the city defenses, in this battle, our army will win.
Then more than half of the victory has been won."
His words are not rhetoric.
The Zhenjun Army commanded by Shangguan Xiu has always fought in this way.
Even if there are only a few thousand people on its side and there is an enemy legion on the opposite side, the Zhenjun Army soldiers dare to follow.
Shangguanxiu rushed forward and fought to the death with the enemy.
When all the generals heard the words, they all felt passionate.
What Shangguan Xiu said and advocated was exactly the military spirit of Lao Fengjun.
It was this spirit and courage that Lao Fengjun relied on to unify the princes and overthrow He conquered the Haotian Dynasty and established a powerful Feng Empire.
Shangguan Xiu's words aroused the spirit of the old-style army in the generals' bones.
People subconsciously clenched their fists, their eyes shone, and they all looked at Yuchizhen.
Yuchi Zhen originally clenched his fists, but soon he loosened his clenched fists.
He said in a calm tone: "The person facing our army is Liao Hua, the right general of Ningnan.
This man is proficient in the art of war.
The tactics are by no means ordinary.
When fighting against such an enemy, even if there is even a slight flaw, the enemy may seize the opportunity and give our army a fatal blow.

Your Highness's strategy is considered too risky by the end.
Please I’m sorry that it will be difficult for me to obey my orders.”
Shangguan Xiu smiled angrily and asked, "General Yuchi thinks that I am asking for your consent now."
"I don't dare," Yuchizhen said seriously before Shangguan Xiu could answer, "I will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Armies, and will be appointed by Your Majesty personally.
Before the command of the general is revoked, the general still has absolute control over the five armies."
The implication is that even if Shangguan Xiu is a general and even if Shangguan Xiu has proposed his tactical strategy, he now has no right to command and mobilize these five legions.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath.
If Yuchi Zhen said this, he was not confronting Shangguan Xiu.
In the minds of everyone, Yuchi Zhen has always been a very wise and smooth person.
Why is it like this?
This is the first time I've been so impulsive.
Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, and before he could speak, Xiao Jue, who was standing behind him, shouted sharply: "You are so unbridled."
Yuchi Zhen simply knelt down and said: "Since Your Majesty appointed the general to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the general will be responsible for the lives of the five armies.
He will never dare to risk the lives of half a million soldiers."
If I have offended His Highness, please forgive me."
Shangguan Xiu's eyes fell on Yuchi Zhen, and he didn't speak for a long time.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table next to him, making a rhythmic sound.
Everyone present felt that the air pressure in the Chinese military tent was constantly dropping, and sweat gradually appeared on people's foreheads.
In this atmosphere, every minute and every second is a kind of sad suffering.
I don’t know how long it took, Shangguanxiu snorted coldly, suddenly turned around and walked out, and said without looking back: "Jue, immediately draft a memorial and report it to the court.
I want to take over the third, fourth, and fifth posts." , Seventh and Ninth Legions," "Yes, Your Highness," Xiao Jue responded loudly.
Before walking out of the tent, he did not forget to turn around and glare at Yu Chizhen, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"The general will send you your highness."
Everyone suddenly came to their senses and bowed in unison.
After Shangguanxiu walked out for a while, people stood up and looked at Yuchi Zhen.
Pang Ying, Yu Tong and Yuchi Zhen have a good relationship.
They are both Yuchiyao's old subordinates.
Their achievements today are due to Yuchiyao's promotion of them.
They respect Yuchizhen very much. , The two came to Yuchizhen's side, pulled him up from the ground, and said comfortingly: "Your Highness has your Highness's habits when fighting, and generals also have their habits when they fight.
There is nothing wrong with this.
We just have different ideas.
Your Highness You are definitely not a narrow-minded person, so don’t worry too much, General,” Yuchi Zhen smiled bitterly.
Shangguan Xiu is indeed not a narrow-minded person, and he may not regret his conflict, but he is definitely a persistent person, and he will definitely try his best to win the command of the three armies.
He has no doubts about Shangguan Xiu's ability to fight.
However, the three, fourth, fifth, seventh and ninth legions are not Zhenjun armies and cannot fight according to Zhenjun army's habits.
If the county army's tactics are applied to them, I'm afraid it will eventually harm the entire army:
