Chapter sixty-eight tricks to confuse the enemy(1/2)
Chapter 68: A clever plan to confuse the enemy
This decision is difficult to make! Since Zhou Yang led the army, he has never encountered such a difficult decision. Continuing to advance is too risky, and even with the strength of the Han Dynasty, he cannot take this risk. Who can be cruel to retreat and lose the opportunity?
If Zhou Yang's thoughts were a carriage, the carriage would pull the two horses in two completely opposite directions, one headed north, going to Longcheng and the other headed south, and returning to the Han territory. Both directions have their pros and cons, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superiority and inferiority.
Zhou Yang pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, his eyebrows tightly fisted, his eyes sometimes sharp as a sword, sometimes sad, sometimes swung his fist, sometimes shook his head and felt regretful, but after a long time, he didn't make any sound.
Such a big event is related to the rise and fall of China. Not to mention Zhou Yang, even if they gather the famous geniuses in history, they have to work hard and think carefully.
Li Guang and Cheng didn't know that they didn't speak, looked at Zhou Yang, and their minds kept fluctuating with Zhou Yang's mood. When Zhou Yang was excited, they breathed a sigh of relief. When Zhou Yang felt sorry, their hearts tensed for no reason.
Since following Zhou Yang, he has never seen Zhou Yang so difficult to decide. Even in the Battle of the Great Wall, the Han army's winning rate was not high, and Zhou Yang was not as anxious as he is now.
Gongsun He lowered his head, like a defeated rooster, kept saying in his heart: "Everyone blames me, everyone blames me!"
Time is like sand between fingers, passing silently. A long time has passed, but Zhou Yang still has not made a decision.
Li Guang and Cheng didn't know that they looked at each other. This kind of decision would torture and prolong life.
Cheng Buzhi winked at Li Guang, asking Li Guang to speak, but Li Guang, who had always spoken quickly, shook his head. Cheng Buzhi's face sank and squinted, Li Guang stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and then he tentatively said, "Master, do you know if you don't know whether you should say it or not?"
"Oh!" Zhou Yang woke up from his thoughts and said, "General Fei just talks if you have something to do."
"Master, let's retreat!" Li Guang said carefully: "If we continue to advance, the risk is too great. We are not worth taking such a dangerous situation, and we cannot afford it."
If you continue to advance, you will likely be defeated, and you will ruin all the new army built by the Han Dynasty with all its national strength. Although the Han Dynasty has strong national strength, even if all the 250,000 troops are lost, you can still train them again as long as you spend some time.
However, this takes time. The problem is that once the Han army is defeated, the military minister Shanyu will definitely not give the Han Dynasty time and will not give the Han Dynasty a good opportunity to recover. He will definitely seize the opportunity and go south to break through the cities in the north of the Han Dynasty, and sweep the Central Plains.
Once the Central Plains is destroyed, China will inevitably decline and the Han Dynasty will decline. This is a major event of rise and fall, and we must be cautious.
Instead of doing this, it is better to retreat, return to the Han territory, repel the attack of the military minister Shanyu, protect the territory and defend the city, and take the initiative to move forward. This is the safe plan.
"Yes!" As soon as Li Guang broke the silence, Cheng Buzhi immediately agreed: "It is a strange danger to advance. The great man could not afford it. It is better to retreat. China has been waiting for thousands of years for the Huns, and it is not a matter of fighting for these days."
I have been waiting for a thousand years, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore for the past few years. Wei Qing and the others kept nodding, and agreed with this.
"Besides, in order to defeat the Huns, the Han Dynasty has two preparations. The dangerous strategy is not enough, and there are also safe strategies to use." Cheng Buzhi continued to say: "We will return to the Han territory first and prepare to welcome the attack of the Huns. As long as we defeat the Huns, we can take advantage of the situation to march into the Hetao land and take the Hetao land. The Hetao land is the sword hilt. Once the Han Dynasty controls the Huns, the Huns will not be far away. We can set off from the Hetao land, attack Longcheng, and go straight to Langjuxu Mountain."
"Although the battle will take place longer to defeat the Huns, the risk is not high and it is very safe." Wei Qing took over the conversation and came to persuade him.
The generals said something, and I said, analyzing the risks and interests very thoroughly. However, Zhou Yang frowned and asked something they could not imagine.
"You said, how would he report to Shanyu if he is Duolou," Zhou Yang pursed his lips tightly, looking thoughtful.
"Master, is this different?" Li Guang shook his head and said angrily: "This old guy is very harmful to people!"
"Different! Very different!" Zhou Yang did not agree with his words, his tone was very firm and he shook his head stubbornly.
"Master, haven't we all revealed our whereabouts?" Li Guang looked regretful.
"It's right to leak the whereabouts." Zhou Yang nodded slightly and said, "But will it be the same as 50,000 people, and 100,000 people?"
"This... should be the same." Li Guang first pondered and immediately came to a conclusion: "Whether it is 50,000 or 100,000, the Shanyu would definitely not take it seriously. He would definitely ridicule us for overestimating our abilities. Such a small number of people dared to come to the desert to act wildly!"
"Go!"
Zhou Yang slammed his hands and praised loudly: "So, even if Shanyu knew that 100,000 Han troops had arrived in the desert, he would not make much adjustments. At most, he was preparing to wipe out the 100,000 Han troops, and maybe he would leave Longcheng early."
"It's no big deal to leave Longcheng. As long as he fights us, the Huns will definitely be defeated." Cheng Buzhi nodded and said, "What we fear most now is that the Shanyu does not fight us, but fights, dragging us in the desert until we run out of food and grass, and then fighting with us."
As long as the Huns fought, it would be impossible for the Huns to win the Han army. What the Han army feared most was that the military ministers and Shanyu adopted the delay tactic, because the Han army's supplies could not be delayed for a few days, which was fatal.
"Maybe, the Shanyu will mobilize a large army to surround us from all directions, eat us as an appetizer." Li Guang also became energetic and agreed loudly. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "But, is he reporting to this old thing?
This is the key to the problem.
"It may not be a 100,000, but the difference will not be too big." Wei Qing, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted.
"How can I see it?" Before Zhou Yang could ask, Li Guang rushed to ask.
"Although Duoluo leaked our whereabouts, he was also attacked in a hurry. In a hurry, he could not know how many of us were, and he could only guess." Wei Qing said very confidently.
"I think so too. If Duoluo can know in such a short time that we have an army of 250,000, then he is a god, not a human!" Zhou Yang smashed his right fist heavily on the palm of his left hand and shouted: "Things are not as bad as you think, there is still something to do!"
“…”
Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Gongsun Jian, Zhang Tong, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Ding Jun and others all opened their mouths and almost made pits on the snow field.
Zhou Yang's words are not shocking and he will never stop until he dies! The news has been leaked, so how can he do it?
Gongsun He raised his head, which had been hanging down, his eyes were emitting a flash of light. He stared at Zhou Yang and said loudly: "Master, what can I do? As long as I can save it, even if I go to the sea of fire, I will go there."
These words are extremely loud, sharp, sharp, but they are unquestionably determined!
"Yes! Yes! Grandmaster, what are your wonderful methods?" Everyone asked in unison. His eyes were bright and he stared at Zhou Yang, as if he was afraid that he would miss a detail.
"We have already arrived halfway, only a few days away from Longcheng. As long as we stabilize Shanyu and allow us to arrive at Longcheng, we will not be able to do so!" Zhou Yang said loudly: "So, we don't have to let Shanyu believe it, we just need to make him believe it, and it will be difficult to make a decision!"
"That's right, but, Grandmaster, how easy is this?" Li Guang nodded first, then shook his head, and said in a regretful tone: "Although Shanyu is hateful, the Mo Jiang fought many battles with him. I have to say that he is an extremely smart person. In addition, the Zuo Xianwang Yi Zhixie, and the Zhongzhang said that this condolence would be difficult for Shanyu to make it difficult for him to make it difficult for him to reach the sky!"
This is so reasonable. Everyone would not know how smart Junchen Shanyu was, and they nodded and expressed their deep agreement.
"The Flying General is right, but it is not impossible!" Zhou Yang was very confident: "Get silk!"
Li Guang and the others knew Zhou Yang very well. If Zhou Yang was not sure, it would be impossible to speak like this. They couldn't help but feel energetic. They blinked their eyes and looked at Zhou Yang, hoping that Zhou Yang would tell them a clever plan immediately, but no one spoke, just waiting.
Zhao Ponu brought silk, Zhou Yang took it in his hand and drew symbols on it.
Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and the others surrounded Zhou Yang and stretched their necks to look at them. Look at their appearance, it seemed like silk was a magnet, and their eyes were like iron blocks, which attracted them tightly.
"Pass it to Shanyu now!" Zhou Yang handed the painted silk to Zhao Ponu.
Li Guang snatched it over and said in a lost voice: "Master, no, no! How can such a thing be done? Are you afraid that the news will not be leaked enough?"
The voice is loud and sharp, extremely harsh, and the voice is filled with great anxiety.
This immediately caused a group of generals to nod and agree, but Wei Qing frowned, said nothing, and fell into deep thought.
The news that Zhou Yang wanted to convey to Junchen Shanyu was that Zhou Yang personally led an army of 400,000 to Longcheng. There are two major problems with this. One is that Zhou Yang has arrived, and the other is that he is that he is that he is running to Longcheng.
At this critical moment of rise and fall, the whereabouts of Zhou Yang, the commander, are absolutely confidential, and the fewer people know, the better. Zhou Yang is better. Is there anything stupider to directly leak to Junchen Shanyu?
As for the news of Shaben Longcheng, it is even more amazing. I told Junchen Shanyu the ultimate goal of the Han army. Do you still have to think about the consequences?
It can be imagined that as soon as this news spread, it turned out to be worse than the repeated reports.
"Flying General, if you were Shanyu, would you believe this after you received this news?" Zhou Yang looked at Li Guang and asked back.
"Of course I don't believe it. We only have a army of 250,000, so where did we get 400,000..." Li Guang blurted out without thinking, and before he finished speaking an angry words, his mouth was already round, enough to stuff two duck eggs.
"Well!"
Cheng Bushi made a sound of grinding his teeth in their mouths, and there was no more noise. However, their eyes were extremely bright, and they seemed to have thought of something, which was particularly excited.
"A clever plan!"
Suddenly, the generals cheered in unison and patted their foreheads hard, turning annoyed and happy.
"If Duoluo reports a number of 100,000, the Shanyu will definitely believe it." Wei Qing shouted loudly and began to analyze it: "The Grand Marshal's report another 400,000, the Shanyu will doubt it. He will definitely summon a group of ministers to discuss which one he believes..."
"The Shanyu must not believe any of them, and will treat them as a lie." Li Guang smiled and patted his forehead, the gloom on his face swept away, and he was very excited: "We can march again!"
This was exactly what Cheng Bushi and Zhang Tong and the others thought, and they all agreed loudly.
Gongsun He Changshu breathed and patted his chest, feeling much more relaxed. A crisis was resolved in this way, and his guilt was relieved a lot.
"No!"
Just as the generals were excited, Wei Qing's voice suddenly turned high: "Shanyu will not believe in the commander, he will believe in this old thing!"
"this……"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, roaring in his ears, and Li Guang and his others' joy disappeared, and their chins swelled their feet.
"Master, aren't you doing this for such a waste?" Li Guang was stunned for a long time, and finally understood and couldn't help but complain.
Zhou Yang sent a message. Shanyu wanted to believe in the more he had lost. If he didn't send a message, he would still believe in the more he had lost. The result was the same. It would be better to save some trouble. Why not do this in one go?
"Flying General, you are wrongly believing in the general's fault." Wei Qing grabbed it and defended Zhou Yang: "The general is just a first move, and the real useful one is a second move."
"Backhand? What kind of backhand?" the generals were surprised and asked in unison.
Wei Qing looked at Zhou Yang without saying anything. Zhou Yang didn't say anything, but asked for a piece of silk and drew symbols on it.
After looking at Wei Qing and then Zhou Yang, the generals wanted to dig out the answers from the two of them. They also had to temporarily suppress their impulse, open their eyes wide, and look at the symbols drawn by Zhou Yang.
"Hetao?"
Everyone muttered, their eyes rolled around and fell into deep thought.
Zhou Yang finished painting and handed it to Zhao Ponu and said, "This will be sent to Shanyu tomorrow morning."
"No!" Although Zhao Ponu was extremely puzzled, Lin always obeyed Zhou Yang's orders.
"A clever plan!" The generals were amazed, and their thumbs were almost pierced the hazy sky.
After admiring, Li Guang was puzzled again and asked, "Master, this strategy is enough to make Shanyu resolve his doubts. Why do you need to lie about 400,000 first?"
"Yes? Grandmaster, what's the reason?" Cheng Buzhi and others were puzzled, looked at Zhou Yang and waited for Zhou Yang's answer.
"That's the truth..." Zhou Yang looked at the generals, except for Wei Qing, all of them looked confused and smiled: "I won't tell you!"
"Master, are you keeping me?" The generals accused him in unison.
