The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 207 Conspiracy and conspiracy, alternate use

"Abandon Changsha and defend Guiyang with all your strength!"

Just say that as soon as Fang Xuanling said this, all the generals fell silent.

No words for a long time!
Because, all the generals were shocked by this speech on the spot.

It should be noted that the Jingnan area has a vast territory and abundant resources, and several counties are combined.

However, the essence of Jingnan area is concentrated in Yuanling, Changsha, Fengyang and other counties.

However, counties like Guiyang are too far south, close to the remote Lingnan area of ​​Jiaozhou.

Therefore, Guiyang and other counties have developed both in terms of population density and geographical location.

They are far inferior to Changsha and Yuanling, which is why the generals of Yanmen have always wondered why the Taiping Army chose to abandon Changsha and stick to Guiyang?

After all, in ancient times, having a population was equivalent to having everything.

For example, if there are seven people in a certain family, the workload must be heavy after one day of plowing.

But if the other family has only two or three people, it may be obvious that the task can be completed in half a month.

However, due to insufficient population, it could not be completed in time.

On a large scale, if one prince has nearly 500 million people under his rule, but the weak prince has only 100 million people.

Then just think about it, how many times will the productivity of having 500 million people exceed that of only 100 million people?
And, the important point is also that only when the population is sufficient can reasonable conscription be carried out.

Otherwise, the population under the original rule would be extremely scarce, but the Taiping Army is still struggling.

So, that's the benefit of having a large population.

Now if the Taiping Army is determined, it must stick to Guiyang.

The only explanation that works is due to the unique terrain of Guiyang County.

Guiyang County is located at the southernmost tip of Jingzhou, close to the Lingnan area of ​​Jiaozhou.

Therefore, Guiyang is the only link connecting Lingnan, Jiaozhou, the base camp of the Taiping Army, and Jingzhou.

Therefore, when the Taiping army got the Sui army to attack Guiyang, they would definitely panic.

At that time, regardless of whether the general of the Taiping Army agrees or not, he will have to abandon Changsha and stick to Guiyang with all his strength.

For a moment, Fang Xuanling seemed to have seen through the doubts in the hearts of the generals, and could not help explaining slowly.

"It's just that this was originally General Yue Fei's plan to disperse the Taiping Army."

"After careful consideration, Ke Ling thinks that simply using General Yue Fei's strategy is not very feasible."

Immediately, Fang Xuanling revealed all of Yue Fei's original plan, and then proposed the benefits of this plan.

"It's just that if our army goes all the way through Wuling and Yuanling to attack Guiyang County."

"But if Changsha gets the news, the general of the Taiping Army will immediately lead his troops to abandon Changsha and defend Guiyang with all their strength."

"General, just think about it, if this situation is formed, how should our army respond?"

Just to say, Fang Xuanling changed the topic for a while, suddenly looked sharp, and spoke with outrageous words.

After hearing Fang Xuanling's analysis, all the Yanmen generals couldn't help but start to think.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling continued: "Looking at the decisive and prudent actions of the Taiping Army commander in recent days, and the fact that the journey from Changsha to Guiyang is obviously shorter."

"So, what Ling meant was not to deny General Yue Fei's suggestion."

"It's just that Ling feels that General Yue Fei's plan is too simple. If some prerequisites are added, the strategic goal will be changed."

"Maybe the final ending will be even more different."

Hearing this, Yue Fei who first proposed this plan did not feel dissatisfied when he heard about Fang Xuanling, but was open-minded.

I saw that Yue Fei stood up slowly, clasped his hands together and said: "General, Fei and Xuan Ling are regarded as bosom friends."

"Now that Xuanling has refuted Fei's plan, it must be that Xuanling has a higher opinion in his heart, and a more advanced and rigorous plan."

"Therefore, Fei dares to ask for orders. General Wang must listen to Mr. Xuanling's heartfelt words."

Immediately, Yue Fei tried his best to stand up and recommend Fang Xuanling in front of Gao Qi.

Hearing this, Gao Qi quickly stood up and walked in front of Fang Xuanling.

Immediately bowed and saluted respectfully, and then asked: "Since General Pengju is determined to let this general trust you."

"Therefore, Mr. Gao Qi Wang Xuanling must inform Yu of his plan to defeat the Taiping Army."

Suddenly, with Yue Fei's guarantee, Gao Qi finally found a reason to reuse him.

Immediately, Gao Qi followed suit and asked Fang Xuanling.

…………

Finally, following Gao Qi's request, Fang Xuanling agreed.

In a flash, Fang Xuanling slowly analyzed: "General, everyone, just now General Yue Fei mentioned the division of troops to attack Guiyang."

"This is a great strategy to cut off the enemy's back."

"It's just because the chief general of the Taiping Army is not a fool, he will let our army attack Guiyang County regardless."

"As long as the Taiping Army abandons Changsha, they will stick to Guiyang with all their strength, supplemented by the Lingnan area of ​​​​the base camp as the backing."

"It will be far more difficult for our army to capture Guiyang than to capture Changsha."

"So, Ling's plan is also based on General Yue Fei's plan."

"However, the main goal of our army is not to divide our forces to seize Guiyang City, but to kill and disperse the vital forces of the Taiping Army."

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xuanling's words slowly broke down the entire situation.

However, all the generals in the tent have not yet fully understood what Fang Xuanling meant by these words.

Only a few counselors such as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Liu Bowen, etc. seem to have seen something.

"General, if our army divides up to attack Guiyang at this time, we must make a big fanfare and make everyone in Changsha know about it."

"In short, the louder the movement, the better. Only in this way will there be panic among the soldiers of the Taiping Army."

"At that time, our army will be making certain efforts to fuel the flames. Even if Shi Dakai, the chief general of the Taiping Army, knows how to fight well, he will have to give up Changsha and stick to Guiyang with all his strength."

"The next step is the crux of the plan."

"Our army should disperse and ambush the various departments in the hidden places around the city in advance."

"Then start to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, as long as you find the Taiping army passing by, attack them."

"However, if the Taiping Army attacks a certain unit with all its strength, remember not to be too eager to fight, and immediately look for an opportunity to withdraw!"

"However, if the Taiping Army encounters a small group of infantry, it must be wiped out."

After in-depth narration, Fang Xuanling finally finished his plan.

In general, the key to Fang Xuanling's plan is that the team that divides the troops to attack Guiyang must make the scene realistic and without flaws.

Afterwards, our own army surrounded Guiyang, nibbling away at the vital strength of the Taiping Army.

This is quite a strategy of "preserve people and lose land, save people and land, save land and lose people, and lose people and land".

However, Fang Xuanling's plan now is a common and alternate use of conspiracy and conspiracy.

First use the strategy of dividing troops to attack Guiyang to confuse the Taiping army in the city and force the Taiping army to abandon the city.

After all, Guiyang is located in an important city of the Taiping Army, so its importance is self-evident!

This is Yangmou, a blatant conspiracy that the enemy cannot refuse.

And then, it was a conspiracy to erode the vitality of the Taiping Army hidden in various places.

…………

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Those who make good use of soldiers will definitely combine the false with the real, the fake with the real, and the strange with the right, seize the momentary opportunity, and then defeat the enemy!
It has to be said that Fang Xuanling's plan was indeed used to the extreme.
