Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 182 Two foxes, playing in the air

Ma Di "whipped" Zhang Xiu under the city, and ordered him to lead the troops to the city to call for battle the next day.

Xu Miao didn't go out of the city to fight, he just looked up to the sky and laughed loudly on the tower, laughing at Ma Su's stupidity, who actually used such tricks to deceive children to make a fool of himself in front of him.

Zhang Xiu had no choice but to report back: "Although Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, is old, he is a famous man in the world. He has both civil and military skills. Now he has seen through the general's tricks. He sticks to the city and does not come to fight."

Dai Ling also persuaded: "General, this plan has failed, why not think of another way?"

In the eyes of the two of them, since the scheme has been defeated by the other party, there is no need to continue acting.

But Ma Su didn't think so.

This time, in front of everyone, he severely "whipped" Dai Ling and Zhang Xiu.Then they retreated and returned to the village, and sent people into the city to give Xu Miao a pass.

"If the old man comes here as soon as possible, I will spare you and the people in the city; if you still persist in your obsession, wait until the city is leveled, and there will be no chickens or dogs left behind!"

Xu Miao heard this in the city, but he was not angry, and ordered to serve him with good wine and food.

The envoy was just an unknown soldier that Ma Di randomly recruited from Qu's army, he was overwhelmed by this courtesy, and even said he dared not.

During the banquet, Xu Miao stopped his cup and asked enthusiastically, "Dare to ask the envoy, is General Zhengxi strict in his army?"

The General Zhengxi mentioned by Xu Miao naturally refers to Ma Su.

The envoy thought for a while, and felt that this question did not involve military matters, so he replied cautiously: "It's not strict, General Ma's rule is quite loose, and all soldiers can move around at will."

Loosely governing the army means chaos on the battlefield...Xu Miao nodded and asked, "How are General Dai and the thousand soldiers under his command doing?"

The envoy shook his head: "General Dai Ling is still good, and he is highly regarded by General Ma. As for the current situation of more than a thousand soldiers, I don't know."

Dai Ling's more than 1000 soldiers did not come, which means that the [-] troops did not come... Xu Miao stroked his beard, raised his glass and said, "Drink, drink."

When I was young, the banquet dispersed, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.Xu Miao sent the envoy away with a smile, looked at the Shu army camp in the distance, and fell silent.

General Zuo scratched his head, wondering, "Why do you laugh and say nothing, my lord?"

Xu Miao squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Ma Su's army is loose, and many soldiers have escaped in the past few days, and now they have entered Liangzhou alone.

"In ten days, I will capture this person alive!"

The generals on the left and right praised Xu Miao for his cleverness, and Xu Miao laughed, which was very helpful.

For the next few days, Xu Miao stood at the top of the city every day, carefully observing the movements of the Shu army.Seeing that the Shu army deserted more and more, and there were only about [-] soldiers left, Ma Di still sent Zhang Xiu to the city to challenge every day.

Suddenly my mind floated, and I had a bold idea.

Just about to gather 3000 troops in the headquarters and go out of the city to meet the enemy.Suddenly, I thought about it again: "Back then when Ma Di was in Lueyang, Wei County, he was still able to handle with few enemies. A big fire almost killed the old man, and even Zhang He was defeated several times in a row. We must not underestimate the enemy. Now we can only go deep The high base cannot be held firmly. The morale of the other army is low, and the number of deserters is increasing, and they will surely disperse within a month. Then we can take advantage of the momentum and attack them, and we can be sure of victory."

After making up his mind, Xu Miao resisted the impulse and only taught the soldiers to guard the city with all their strength and wait and see what happened.

……

The envoy went back to Ma Su and told the truth.When Ma Di heard this, he was secretly happy.

His rule of the army is indeed very loose.

The messenger was right about this.

In stark contrast to him was Zhuge Liang, who was extremely strict in running the army, and all the soldiers in the barracks turned their faces and couldn't be happy.

If Zhuge Liang's way of governing the army imitated Cheng Bushi, then Ma Di's way of governing the army was based on parachutist Li Guang.

"Wei Qing is undefeated by nature, and Li Guang has a lot of meritorious deeds." The famous general Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty has always been a very aggrieved existence. If he didn't get promoted, he would sigh "Li Guang is hard to seal" through the ages.

However, compared with Li Guang, there is another person who has a lower sense of existence, and he is Cheng Bushi, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty who was at the same time as Li Guang.Li Guang was well-known in later generations at least through the recitation of "Historical Records" and Tang poetry.

Cheng Bushi was not so lucky, and his popularity was far less than that of Li Guang.

Before Wei Qing and Huo Qubing became famous, the peerless double walls of the Han Dynasty were Cheng Bushi and Li Guang.But even so, Cheng Bushi is still not well known.

Both Li Guang and Cheng Bushi were famous generals in the Western Han Dynasty, and their promotion processes in the army were very similar. They both served as prefects of border counties and led a group of soldiers to garrison the frontier, fighting to the death with the Qiang and Hu foreigners, and maintaining the peace of the empire's borders.

The difference is that the two have completely different views on the way to manage soldiers.

Li Guang's way of running the army is relatively wanton and loose. Whenever he marches and fights, he always takes a group of people there, without forming troops or making detailed strategic deployments.There are no restrictions on the soldiers, and the soldiers are allowed to move freely and casually.

But Li Guang didn't relax his vigilance. Whenever he went to a place, he would always send scouts to scout the enemy's situation in advance, so as to get a clear picture of the enemy's situation, so that he knew the situation clearly, and he was sure of winning the whole process.

If you don't know much about Li Guang's combat methods, the general enemy commanders will think that he is an ordinary person, so they will relax their vigilance. Caught off guard, he ran away with his head in his arms.In the long run, Li Guang got used to it and didn't pay much attention to the management of the army and the rectification of military discipline.Instead, the skirmishers he brought became the best surprise soldiers in history.

Cheng Bushi was born in the regular army. He was familiar with the art of war and military books since he was a child, and received a strict education, so he is very strict in running the army.

Cheng Bushi's marching formation is like a battlefield, the organization and organizational structure are very tight, and the command system and military regulations are very orderly.In view of the seriousness and rigidity of this mode of running the army, the army under Cheng Bushi's rule followed the rules, marched and fought meticulously, and would never slack off in the slightest.

And Cheng Bushi himself is also a sleepless night, and he is busy with military affairs until dawn every day.

Because of the strict military discipline, Cheng Bushi's army has never been defeated from the beginning to the end.

Cheng Bushi and Li Guang treated the soldiers completely differently, which naturally made the soldiers have completely opposite attitudes towards them.

After most of the soldiers were assigned to Cheng Bushi's army, they wept like their dead parents and suffered from headaches.But they were very much looking forward to following Li Guang to conquer the world. In the long run, Li Guang's army tended to be prosperous with more and more soldiers.

And Li Guang's own prestige is much higher than that of Cheng Bushi.

But until he retired, he was not given a title, which was also criticized by later generations.

In fact, this also has a lot to do with Cheng Bushi and Li Guang's military style.

Li Guang led the troops to fight in a simple and rough style, and he was extremely lenient to the soldiers. On the battlefield, the soldiers would also do their best to output and sacrifice their lives to protect Li Guang. This kind of army is what every general dreams of.

In ancient times, military power is a concrete manifestation of power, and generals, in addition to being brave and good at fighting, also hold military power and have the power to command the Quartet.

Therefore, as a general in the Han Dynasty when imperial power was supreme, if every general was like Li Guang, he trained the country's army into the Li family army, surrounded by a group of brothers who could fight in all directions, eating meat in large pieces and drinking in large bowls.Then, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair will not be able to sleep at night.

Because of this, Li Guang was never rewarded throughout his life.

And Cheng Bushi, who is strict in running the army, is a serious imperial general. If he does not practice personality cults and chauvinism, he will naturally not become a thorn in the side of those in power, so he has been rewarded many times.

Gathering his thoughts, Ma Di personally put on his armor and mounted his horse, leading hundreds of riders to fight at the foot of Wuwei City.

This time Ma Di changed his strategy, ordered the soldiers to stand in several rows, opened their throats and cursed Xu Miao as "a man with a bright head", "old bearded thief", and "cowardly as a mouse".

Seeing Xu Miao being insulted in every possible way, all the troops in the city were outraged and asked Ying to fight, but Xu Miao stopped them all.

The right side general was eager to protect the lord, and led his army to the gate of the city. He was about to open the gate and leave the city, but he was also reprimanded by Xu Miao and returned to the camp in a fit of anger.

Early the next morning, Ma Di led the army to fight again, but still yelled at him.

The soldiers of Wei Bing were very annoyed.

Xu Miao, however, was leaning on the tower, not annoyed at all.

Ma Di pointed at Xu Miao from a distance, deliberately gritted his teeth in hatred, and jumped to curse.

Two old foxes, one big and one small, developed their acting skills from afar.
