Next, turn your hands to make clouds and turn your hands to make rain; Mr. Li's military strategy is also very powerful. He leads a group of civilians, but in just a few months in Po Tai, he can create such a strong army and lay in ambush dozens of miles away from Po Tai.

During the raid, we set up camps in Douzigang along the way, and the military station was not at all flustered. It is really a person I have never seen in my life. As for me, Cheng Da and Brother Niu, although they have some abilities, I can only say that they have not lost their face."

Zhang Xing also smiled, and then shook his head.

Cheng Zhili immediately became solemn.

"Actually, after thinking about it, the reason why this gold scale is 'no more than this' is because it is 'no more than this'." As he spoke, Zhang Xing patted the other party's smooth shoulder with his cold hand.

Cheng Zhili was suddenly startled, but his muscles only tensed. He was stunned but did not release his true energy. Instead, he asked seriously: "What do you mean, Third Master?"

"It doesn't mean anything else."

Zhang Xing stopped his hand and said with emotion.

"I'm just thinking, according to the intelligence, when Zhang Jinscale was forced to rebel against the Wei Dynasty, gathered dozens of troops and hundreds of civilians, and was forced to fight the local government to seize official grain, what would happen?

Not afraid?

"Then, he first fought with Cao Shancheng, the magistrate of his own county, Yi County. As a result, the two sides fought more than a dozen battles for a month and could not win each other. At that time, would you feel frustrated again?

"As a result, they were suddenly forced to go to other counties for food. Recruiting troops was like drinking water. Ordnance was picked up everywhere. The war was even more devastating. There were more than a dozen counties, many serious officers and soldiers, so many local heroes, and so many famous families, all they could do was stay here.

He was completely defeated. At that time, would he have thought... It turns out that only I, Zhang Jinscale, and Cao Shancheng are the heroes of the world, and the others are 'just like that'?

"It can be seen that the heroes in this world are probably all bad for being 'no more than that'!"

"Mr. Zhang is absolutely right!" Cheng Dalang came to his senses and saluted seriously again. "No matter what, we should not underestimate the enemy just because we are fighting casually, especially when our career has just started...Mr. Zhang taught you the right lesson."

Cheng Dalang's words were sincere, because his character was also very cautious. It was just that he felt comfortable fighting in the past two days, so he started to act recklessly... and other people also woke up.

"Master Zhang doesn't just mean that."

At this moment, Li Ding suddenly walked down from the stone hill.

"Actually, there are too many reasons for the war... The right time, place, people, and all aspects... It seems today that Zhang Jinsheng expanded the army too quickly, had no experience in running an army, and killed people indiscriminately, which broke people's hearts.

Therefore, we easily restrained us. To put it bluntly, if we give it to someone for two years, they have fought many battles and practiced little by little, we may not know who will lose! It is to ask him to abandon the peripheral troops and only bring with him

With thousands of people in our headquarters, it may not be so easy!"

At this point, Li Ding stood in front of a few people and made a conclusion confidently: "This is because Zhang Jinsheng has lost his eyes, and it is also because we have made sufficient preparations... and based on the success or failure of a battle, he arbitrarily evaluates the performance of a general and an army.

The advantages and disadvantages are ridiculous!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Did you hear that?" Zhang Xing suddenly spoke, pointing at Li Ding. "This is the theory of famous generals!"

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Okay." Li Ding's face turned red and he coughed a little. "The success or failure of a battle is determined by the quality of a general and an army. It is naturally ridiculous, but the most dangerous thing about soldiers is that the success or failure of a battle is determined.

Yu, if we can further defeat the army and kill the general, then at least we can nail the enemy to one place, and there is no need to talk about it anymore... At this point in the battle, we have to change our strategy, and take advantage of Zhang Jinsheng before he wakes up.

The situation will be decided immediately!"

All the generals were in awe.

"Can the outcome be decided tonight?" Zhang Xing, on the other hand, frowned slightly. "Eighty-nine battles were fought, but he was reduced by seven to eight thousand men, less than 20% of his strength."

"Yes." Li Ding answered seriously. "Although there is only one or two percent fewer troops, the morale of the troops is already impetuous and the command is ineffective... At this point in the battle, his biggest disadvantage has actually been revealed, that is, the troops are too large.

It is bloated and the elite cannot spread out in it.”

"But we only have 3,000 infantry, and the cavalry is very tired during the day." Niu Da carefully interrupted, causing Cheng Zhili to nod. "They still have a small force of 40,000."

"There is no need to fight hard." Li Ding squinted his eyes and said. "I have been observing the wind direction, wind strength, cold and heat, dryness and wetness for half a day... I can use fire attack tonight... Otherwise, I won't call it a decisive battle easily."

All the generals below Zhang Xing were startled. They thought they were going to ambush from all sides, but they didn't expect this to happen.

All I can say is that the way to use military force is to remain focused.

But then, the more serious Xiao Zhou came to ask seriously: "Brother Li, the crops in the field only have a shallow layer, and they can only be exposed to one layer of fire. How can they burn with such power and cause damage?"

Li Ding shook his head and replied: "I don't expect fire to burn people to death. Fire is used to cause chaos. In essence, our strategy of ambush from all sides has worked. The opponent's military morale has been messed up, so we can fight in advance."

"What Li Shuijun means..." Cheng Dalang hesitated. "The rebel army is unprepared and very tired. Let's send spies and start fires everywhere inside their camp at the same time?"

"No need." Li Ding still shook his head. "I observed the situation before coming out of the podium, and thought that I might use this trick, so I had Lieutenant Fang prepare it under the post during the day. The matter of setting fire inside the camp was handed over.

Let him do it, you can gather your strength, bring a torch with you, and set fire to the outside during the night attack."

Fang Yanshi looked calm and bowed in all directions: "My Shuijun has already made arrangements, don't worry."

Everyone looked at this person one after another and could only keep silent, but then focused their attention on Zhang Xing.

Li Ding followed everyone's gaze and suddenly realized, but he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "This is my strategy. I don't know if Mr. Zhang agrees with it... I still want you to make the decision in everything..."

Several people looked strange.

Zhang Xing thought for a while and immediately asked the others: "Do you have any opinions?"

No one dared to say anything, except Guo Jingke whose lips obviously moved.

"Chief Xiao Guo, please speak." Zhang Xing pointed his finger.

Guo Jingke bowed his head and said: "I don't know how to fight, and I don't dare to participate in the military. But I don't know how much Li... Li Shuijun will burn... burn the crops... how much will he burn?"

"How much will be burned?" Zhang Xing asked Li Ding seriously. "Can Du Chengsui's crops be burned? Aren't you afraid of hurting Tianhe and being blamed by Sanhui and Siyu?"

"It's hard to say..." Li Ding was silent for a moment before speaking. "The way I lit the fire was a bit out of control... but the area in front of the post was densely covered with rivers, so the fire would not spread too much, not to mention that Zhang Jinsheng would be extinguished one day earlier.

, the food saved will be even more. Compared with this, the loss of crops is not worth mentioning... Come to think of it, even if the three splendors and four emperors are superior, they won't blame it."

Zhang Xing was also silent for a while.

When Li Ding saw this, he wanted to say something more, but he remembered what he had said before and just waited silently.

At this time, the others just stared with big eyes and small eyes, all bowed their heads and said nothing.

After a long while, Zhang Xingfang nodded: "When the war started, I don't know how many lives were lost. To care about these things at this time would seem to be incompetent... Let's just settle this. This battle can be ended, tonight."

Li Ding was relieved, but soon he felt weird... because he seemed to be a little scared of Zhang Xing just now, fearing that the other party would say no and accuse him of only focusing on military affairs and not politics.

Cheng Dalang looked at this scene and finally nodded in his heart.

"How to say?"

About an hour had passed since the military discussion inside Douzigang. Under the double moon, on the plains about ten miles in front of Douzigang, leader Zhang Jinsheng and Zhang Da were also trying to end the military discussion. "Are these two?

One is to go north, farther away from Douzigang. The cavalry has no base and cannot come so fast; the other is to go south, go directly into Douzigang and find the enemy's camp?"

The leaders below just lowered their eyebrows and frowned, showing no reaction.

"Forget it, I shouldn't count on you..." Seeing this, Zhang Jinscale suddenly took a deep breath. "But you have to be honest, the matter is nothing more than this, and you have no other choice.

...Okay, let's go to Douzi Gang tomorrow. If we can find the other side's camp, we can fight hand-to-hand in the hill. It's naturally good. But if we miss something or are stopped by someone, we might as well withdraw immediately.

, go north and go around Douzigang!"

Many leaders below breathed a sigh of relief and praised him one after another.

Zhang Jinheng also waved his hand on the huge square couch and told the leaders to get out.

However, after the leaders dispersed, Zhang Jinscale asked his soldiers to call back four or five of his trusted leaders privately.

"Big boss!"

Several trusted leaders knew that Zhang Jinsheng had an order, so they simply bowed their hands and bowed down under the leadership of the leader. "Please give me the order from the big leader. We will definitely not leak the news."

"This battle cannot be fought."

Reflecting on the bonfire not far away, Zhang Jinsheng made a completely different judgment with a dark face. "Now that I think about it, we may have fallen into the trap from the beginning, otherwise Guo Guo, who led me to attack Pu Tai that day,

The kid wouldn't have run away halfway, and Cheng Dalang has actually joined the army... But what I'm most afraid of now is that Cao Shancheng is responsible for this. Although he is just a county magistrate, he is a man of real ability.

, Pu Tai is also an officer and an army, and they are also capable...Gaotang is our hometown, but now it is a little empty."

"Then let's..."

"Early tomorrow morning." Zhang Jinsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Er, you can lead your headquarters to attack Douzigang. Don't worry about the lives of the soldiers. If you lose many people, I will make up for you when you come back. Be sure to send those who

Bring the leader in, as long as you escape back home... The rest of you, pack your things early tomorrow morning, and follow me to pretend to take a detour from the north, but in fact, leave them alone and return to Gaotang from the north! I finally figured it out.

These guys only use money and food, and are often bribed by the government and soldiers, and there are not many decent people. Besides, without these people, we will not be short of food."

Only then did several leaders wake up and immediately left in response.

As soon as the people left, Zhang Jinsheng sat alone on the huge square couch and never said a word.

After a long time, he decided to ask someone to dismantle the square couch under him and start a bonfire. However, he was blown by the warm autumn wind and gradually became sleepy. Finally, he simply fell asleep on the couch alone.

"Li Shuijun."

I don’t know how long it took, but on a slope on the edge of Douzigang, Fang Yanshi walked over lightly, interrupting Li Ding’s meditation. The latter was looking at the covered mountain more than ten miles away under the double moon.

The huge and chaotic camp that could not even be covered was in a daze.

"Are you ready?" Li Ding came back to his senses and asked seriously.

"Everything is ready." Fang Yanshi responded carefully. "They have also completed their formation."

"Then you watch the opportunity and take action within a quarter of an hour." Li Ding, with his hands behind his back, simply ordered.
