Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 89 If I can get a practical plan, I will send it to the north
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, the entire Accord suddenly became quiet.

Everyone fell into thinking, analyzing the possibility that Chen Zhi said.

From Wang Pan's words, they all felt that this was not a fabrication. If it was true, then the bandit army would definitely enter Xuzhou from Qingzhou, and would most likely come to Pengcheng County. Once they entered the county, they would definitely return to Pengcheng County. It was a catastrophe.

In the original history, similar things happened more than once. The most famous one in later generations was the Wang Lun Uprising during the Qingli Period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Wang Lun uprising was in Shandong. Because it was inconvenient to develop, he finally went south to Jianghuai and fought against The front points directly at Yangzhou.

Based on various considerations, Chen Zhi made such a judgment.

"Then... according to my nephew's opinion, how should we deal with the thieves if they go south?" It was Liu Kan who spoke this time. He looked at Chen Zhi with a serious expression.

If we were to simply discuss military issues, the conversation would be just that. However, Wang Pan and Wang Kui didn't act like they were making things up. Then listen to Chen Zhi's analysis, how can you listen calmly when it comes to your hometown? , and because of the breakout, they didn't think of it just now. Even if they had memorized the countermeasures in the past, it would be difficult to come up with countermeasures in a hurry.

Not only Liu Kan, but also Xiao Zuo also frowned and tried to say: "The military affairs are no small matter. Xuzhou was also hit by military disasters a few years ago. I still remember the scene at that time. If I do it again, I don't know what will happen. It looks like, even if it is only possible, we must prepare in advance.”

Unlike the celebrities in other places, the celebrities living here, regardless of their origins, have all experienced military disasters, and naturally they are not willing to suffer another disaster.

Zhang Yong also put away his little thoughts, frowned, and listened attentively.

Wang Kui also nodded silently.

As for Liu Miao and Liu Gang, they looked at the scene in front of them. On the one hand, they were worried that Chen Zhi's speculation would come true. On the other hand, they also noticed that several celebrities began to take the initiative to chat with Chen Zhi, and their words did not sound like they were talking to each other. The attitude between the elders and the younger generation, and between the superior and the inferior, has a vague flavor of equal communication.

Such an atmosphere was very shocking to a person of Liu Miao's age, and he was secretly surprised.

In the corner of the room, a woman disguised as a man took out a pen and paper, and while listening, she quietly recorded. She looked up at Chen Zhi from time to time, her eyes showing strange colors.

After hearing the words of the two celebrities, Wang Pan nodded repeatedly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"If this Chen Zhi can really come up with a countermeasure, then send such a military strategy to Zhu Shou in the north. Not only to let him act according to the strategy, but at least it will be a reference and let him know that I also know capable people. ! However, we must ask clearly. It is best for Chen Zhi to tell you the specific tactics, so that if Zhu Shou takes it seriously, it will be more convenient for him to follow the strategy."

As soon as he thought about this, he suddenly became anxious and asked: "Then according to Brother Chen's intention, what should happen if the rebel army breaks through?"

Although the question was asked, Liu Kan and others also felt that even if Chen Zhizhibing could judge these things, it would not be easy to come up with a solution in a short time.

Chen Zhi closed his eyes, silently thinking about maps and geography, and then spoke.

"It needs to be divided into two parts," he said in front of everyone's eyes and in the midst of everyone's surprise. "The first part is to make arrangements based on the characteristics of the bandit army's march. Compared with the bandit army, if the officers and soldiers move, Soldiers, horses, food, fodder, and logistical equipment are not as flexible as the rebel army, but the advantage is incomparable to the rebel army. They can send out fast horses in advance, combine the posts, transfer houses, postal booths, beacons, and drum towers to notify the counties along the route. First, do a good job Defense preparation, the second is preparation and careful manpower."

Liu Kan nodded while listening. After hearing this, he asked again: "I understand the preparation of defense methods, but what about this detailed work? Also, the post, Chuanshe, and postal booth are the old ones from the time of Emperor Zhaolie. , and now the three have been merged.”

Others also took notice.

"Are the three merged?" Chen Zhi was slightly surprised. Then he realized that times had changed and some systems were different from the past. He continued: "The purpose of doing things carefully is to be prepared. If you have friends who are generals in the army, You will know as soon as you ask. The refugee army generally has no structure. During the march, most of them collect food and plunder on the spot. The manpower lost in the battle will also be replenished through temporary recruitment and kidnapping. There is a huge flow of personnel and a chaotic command system. The soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers, so it's best to send people to infiltrate."

Xiao Zuo's worried expression eased slightly, and he stroked his beard and said, "I understand when my nephew said this. These people infiltrated, raised troops inside to respond, and allowed the rebel army to collapse?"

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "This bandit army was surrounded in the mountains and forests, and it was able to break through. It shows that it has been tempered. The internal system may still be lacking, but it is very different from the ordinary mob. To disrupt such a It is not easy to have a team of people, so these people have to lurk to convey the news when they infiltrate, so that the officers and soldiers can figure out the marching route of the bandit army."

"I see, we want to find out the movements of the bandit army!" Wang Kui clapped his hands gently, showing a look of surprise.

Zhang Yongze shook his head slightly, feeling that it was not unusual to send spies to explore the enemy's army, and there was something worthy of special mention.

At this time, Liu Miao couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it a common thing for spies to investigate?"

Wang Kui glanced at him and explained with a smile: "The spies that nephew Chen Xian said were not to investigate the military situation, nor to lead troops to attack, but to find out the targets of the rebels. In fact, the rebels are cunning. , even if there are spies to deliver the news, as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, they will have disappeared long ago, wasting troops in vain."

There is no satellite positioning in this era. A few miles out of the city is a forest and wilderness. Many people don't even have a clear idea of ​​the topography of the county where they live, and they don't have a clear overall geography in their minds. Not many people know geography.

Even in later generations, if a person is asked to describe the map of his own city based on his impressions, a large number of people will not be able to do it.

Under such circumstances, even an army of several thousand people will be like a fish entering the sea as soon as it leaves the encirclement. As long as it is careful, it will be difficult to be discovered. Even if it is discovered by people along the route, it will still be trapped in the message transmission. Due to the timeliness of the situation, the position cannot be accurately grasped - if you find the enemy here, it does not mean that our generals will know it just by sending a telegram. Because of the limitations of transportation and communication conditions, the battlefield in the eyes of the commander is foggy. Before clear and timely news arrives, the generals sitting in the center often cannot determine the location of the enemy troops. The enemy troops may have already moved as soon as the news comes.

The people present also knew this truth, so they made trouble.

"So, even if you get the news, you may not be able to stop the bandit army?" Suddenly, the atmosphere in Yage became solemn. Although the bandit army went south, it may not approach Pengcheng County, but there is one thing about the bandit army coming to the city. Maybe it will make people feel uneasy.

Wang Pan rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Zhi: "Brother Chen, since you mentioned this, you must have some countermeasures. Don't be tempted, just say it directly."

As soon as he said this, everyone else came to their senses and looked at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi did not waste any time and continued: "Actually, the situation of the battle has been very clear since the rebel army broke through."

"How do you say this?" Liu Kan had already used a tone of asking for advice. He was an informal person and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the eyes of the two Liu family descendants jumped when he heard this, especially Liu Miao. , he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"These celebrities have all secretly talked with Chen Zhiping. Can the circle of me, Peng Lin and others still accommodate a giant Buddha like Chen Zhi?" But his thought passed away in a flash, and he was soon confronted. The thieves were overwhelmed by worries.

"If the bandit army breaks through, then according to the previous analysis, we already know the opponent's goal and can prepare in advance. This is the second part."

As soon as Chen Zhi said this, Wang Kui and Liu Kan reacted.

It's still the same truth. Due to transportation and communication restrictions, the battlefield in the eyes of generals is foggy, and they cannot get timely information and operate carefully. However, if they are not limited to one city or one place, but look at the overall situation and consider the entire strategic situation, they can attack the enemy. We must rescue, and those who defend the enemy must attack.

Seeing the expressions of Wang Kui and others, Chen Zhi explained in detail: "There are spies who have infiltrated the rebel army and found out their routes. They can't catch them for a while, but they can know where they want to go, so that they can determine a target in advance. A place suitable for ambushes and decisive battles."

Whether it is spies or careful work, it is not the key. It is to ensure that the enemy's strategic goal has not changed. As long as the strategic goal remains unchanged, an ambush can be set up in advance at the place where the bandit army must pass.

The key to this military strategy is to determine the enemy's strategic goals and grasp the goals to gain the upper hand at every turn.

In fact, even without agents and spies, this plan can still be implemented, as long as the location of the rebel army passing through dangerous areas or crossing rivers can be estimated in advance. The spies are just to strengthen insurance.

If you only see spies and craftsmen and think that you rely on spies to grasp the enemy's situation, you will be limited to details and lose the overall consideration.

"I see!"

Hearing this, even Zhang Yong couldn't keep silent anymore, he gave a good drink, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Pan was even more happy and her sorrow was gone, so she thought of compiling a military strategy based on Chen Zhi's words and sent it to the north quickly.

The woman in the corner frowned for a moment, then lowered her head and started writing.

Chen Zhi did not show a smile, but still said solemnly: "Even if this is the case, we cannot take it lightly, let alone relax. You must know that all this is based on the thieves going south. Because the intelligence is not enough, this foundation is not It’s strong, and even if the thief’s marching route is known, the other party may attack in the east or west, intentionally mislead, or they can resort to alienation tactics, so the possibility of using the enemy’s tactics cannot be ruled out.”

As soon as he said this, everyone became nervous again, and even Wang Pan asked with a serious face: "What if you really make an attack in the east?"

"Those who are good at fighting can kill people without killing them. If the bandits can break through, they can rely on the changes in reality and reality to lead the officers and soldiers by the nose. If the officers and soldiers want to exterminate them, they can also use reality and reality to make preparations for the counties and cities along the line to force and induce them. When the thief army is marching, don't think about how to deal with the division of the thief army, but control the thief army's goals and take the initiative. This depends on the general's personal decision-making. If you do this, you can send an elite army to reach the dangerous place in advance. Lay out the decisive battle, but no matter how you lay it out, you must first be familiar with the terrain and review the terrain to win."

"Does this ensure victory?" Wang Pan felt relieved again.

Chen Zhi still shook his head and said: "Don't think about winning first. After getting familiar with the terrain, the first thing to do is not to think about how to fight, but to consider how to use the terrain to retreat and retain strength if you fail. The previous discussion The layout is also based on this principle. War is not only about defeating the enemy, but also about achieving one's own goals and at the same time growing or preserving one's own strength."

These words made several people look at each other in shock.

Only Wang Kui clapped his hands and said in agreement: "Consider defeat before you think about victory, that's good!"
