Chapter 3454: Use all the land(2/2)
However, Zhuge Liang did not panic because of this, but instead breathed a long breath, "Zhou Gongjin's plan was to stop here."
Zhuge Liang was really relieved, not pretending to be calm.
He had been thinking about what Zhou Yu's main strategy was.
At the beginning, Zhuge Liang was not sure about Zhou Yu's path.
Although the forms of war are generally similar, with more fighting, odd and correct combination, etc., basically, those who know a little bit of military tactics can say one, two, and three, but they do not know much, but how to use it in actual combat.
Zhuge Liang is not in history. He is the kind of strategist in the Romance of the World and the World. He is just stronger than ordinary strategists. And the most important thing is that Zhuge Liang did not stop learning and thinking from the time he arrived in Lushan, entering Guanzhong, and traveling all the way to Sichuan and Shu.
This is the basis for Zhuge Liang to be better than ordinary people now and to look at things and problems more clearly.
Talent is important, but only talent but no effort, the upper limit is nothing more than elle...
Xu Huang was a little puzzled, "Kong Ming, what do you mean?"
It is really hard to understand that Zhuge Liang was slightly relaxed when he saw him.
Zhuge Liang said: "If you draw a bow without firing, you will be uneasy. Now that you know what you want, why are you afraid of? Zhou Gongjin's use of military strategies seems to be changing, but when he finds out the root of the situation, he is exhausted from the advantage of the local area! Just like in the east of Jiangdong, there is nothing else! What a pity..."
The Jiangdong Army divided its troops again.
And are the mountain roads around this easy to walk?
Gan Ning accidentally got confused.
Therefore, the soldiers sent by the Jiangdong Army must be the more elite.
Among the Jiangdong Army, the ones that can be linked to the "elite" are the private soldiers of each general!
So Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were the ones who were all the way, and Zhou Yu was the only soldiers under Zhou Yu...
These are basic inferences that most people can think of, but the reason why Zhuge Liang called a wise man is that in addition to thinking about these things that ordinary people can think of, he can also consider deeper issues at the same time.
That is, does Zhou Yu want him to think so too?
Both generals of the Jiangdong Army were on the verge of the way, so what was left of Zhou Yu’s midfield?
If you hit Zhou Gongjin, you will be able to win the final victory!
Isn't it a very simple choice?
Zhuge smiled slightly, "I thought Zhou Gongjin had other means this time..."
Xu Huang looked at Zhuge Liang and thought that this young man was too rampant?
There is no way, and my nest has been touched by someone!
Zhuge Liang seemed to have noticed Xu Huang's expression, and explained with a smile: "I didn't know what Zhou Gongjin wanted, so I should think about it more. Now that I know what I want, I will use a plan to break it!"
Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly a person who is very good at learning and summarizing.
Although Zhou Yu's strategy seems to be tempting, interspersed, or ambushed, and has many changes on the surface, Zhuge Liang actually concluded that all Zhou Yu's strategy is based on his use of the "local advantage" of the river!
"The lord said that the generals fight, the right time, place and people are indispensable." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "Now Duke Zhou is willing to use the advantage of his place and the end of his life, so there must be peace. The general can order the army to redirect, and then the disadvantages of Jiangdong will be revealed!"
Xu Huang was stunned. He looked at Zhou Yu's midfielder not far away, and then pointed, "Then...
Even Xu Huang was facing the soon-to-be-received results, he could not help but have some difficulty in making decisions.
Zhuge Liang said, "Jiangdong is conducive to water wars, but Zhou Gongjin came out two separate troops and crossed mountains and ridges again and again... This is the disadvantage of exhaustion of soldiers! Zhou Gongjin did not know the military, but used his urgent force! Liang thought that there must be changes in Jiangdong! This is the loss of the time of the day!"
Zhuge Liang raised his second finger again, "Second, since Zhou Gong was familiar with the benefits of the river, how could he not know the advantages and disadvantages of the flow of the river? The Jiangdong navy opened the middle road, and you and I marched forward and the enemy did not move, there must be a trap in front of us! Our army revolved and broke its plan. If Zhou Gongjin pursued him, he would lose his place. If he did not pursue him, he would be forced by the times!"
"Third..."
Zhuge Liang smiled, "It's a long story... General, please give orders first!"
Xu Huang looked at Zhuge Liang, pondered for a little, and ordered the Jin Dynasty to withdraw his troops and return to the village.
Although Xu Huang was not very clear about the twists and turns in this, he still chose to believe in Zhuge Liang, withdraw his troops first, and then think about why.
...
...
As soon as the Sichuan and Shu army retreated, the Jiangdong soldiers cheered and cheered.
However, Zhou Yu's expression was not happy at all, but his brows were furrowed.
This situation is completely different from what he expected!
The Jiangdong soldiers smiled happily because the Jiangdong soldiers' goal was to "win". No matter whether the Sichuan and Shu army retreated voluntarily or left passively, they were "win", so they were naturally happy.
But what Zhou Yu wanted was not consistent with what ordinary Jiangdong soldiers wanted.
What Zhou Yu wanted most was to eliminate and consume the ships of the Sichuan and Shu navy. If he could still kill the opponent's enemy generals on this basis, it would be the best.
So when the Sichuan and Shu army retreated, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment...
Could it be that under this situation, shouldn’t we rush up immediately and fight for a change of family?
Isn't this an obvious situation?
Why did you choose to withdraw?
Although Zhou Yu does not understand the theory of "sunken cost", it does not prevent him from using this mentality to achieve his strategic goals.
This is like the bad habit of brides in some Southeast Asian countries in later generations. If you sell your daughter, you feel that the other party has paid 380,000 yuan. So you might as well increase the price by 80,000 yuan or 180,000 yuan on the day of the official sale. Thinking that the other party has already paid so much, you will definitely not be willing to give up like this...
This time, the same is true for Zhou Yu's tactics.
Zhou Yu's mid-formation was right in front of him, as if the eight-carrying sedan chair had already reached the door, and he just retreated. Not to mention the question of whether it was face or not. Just talk about how much energy, material resources and manpower was spent on such a large formation?
And once you retreat, isn’t it equivalent to giving up all the “achievements” you have achieved before?
The Sichuan and Shu army are willing to give up?
Are you not afraid of losing both your life and wealth after you go back?
In those bad habit countries in Southeast Asia, when the dowry is given, the in-laws are smiling, and the in-laws are shouting loudly. When they want to get the dowry back, it is almost the same as killing their father's enemy. They may have to use a knife. The white knife goes in and the black knife comes out.
Zhou Yu had imagined and deduced it many times before, and he felt that when the Sichuan and Shu army came to this situation, they must have chosen to "change their families".
Therefore, he did not need Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to achieve many results. He only needed to create such a situation of encirclement and the old lair was in danger, forcing the Sichuan and Shu army to burn their boats, and then the Sichuan and Shu army would inevitably really "sink the boats".
Withdrawal is an absolutely impossible option, because it is a loss to do so!
But the Sichuan and Shu army did just that!
"Governor! We won!" The guards beside Zhou Yu also said with a smile, and then they found that Zhou Yu's face looked ugly, "Governor... Governor, you..."
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and signaled the guard to shut up.
His body is now very tired, and the blood vessels on his forehead are also shouting to death with exhaustion, but he still needs to measure the gains and losses as soon as possible and make corresponding orders.
If we follow the general understanding, since Sichuan and Shu retreat, then the Jiangdong Army won the victory. After chasing for a while, we can see what advantage we can find, and we can withdraw our troops and return to our own camp to celebrate...
But what is the point of doing this?
The reason why Zhou Yu put on such a stance was to let the Sichuan and Shu army fall into a trap, and then use tincture oil and fire attacks to kill and injure the ships and personnel of Sichuan and Shu in one fell swoop, destroying at least half of the Sichuan and Shu naval ships, so that he can directly press into Sichuan and Shu in one breath!
But now that Sichuan and Sichuan are not trapped, it means they have to fight a war of attrition!
I can't win in one fell swoop today. Maybe there is still tomorrow, and there are countless suns waiting for him, but what about Zhou Yu?
Even if his body can support him, is his rear still willing to support him?
Is Jiangdong still willing to wait for the next tomorrow?
Zhou Yu looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that the wind on the river was no longer as gentle and passionate as when he was young. He lifted up his hair and scarf and lingered in his robes and cuffs. The wind on the river now is like a landlady who has not received the rent, tormenting him both physically and mentally.
Just like the romantic debts that were owed back then, now all of them have to be repaid twice as much.
"Governor! Chaisang urgently reported!"
Just as Zhou Yu was thinking about making a difficult choice, a soldier rushed from under the tower and shouted loudly, "Governor! Report urgently, Chaisang urgently!"
Chapter completed!
