Baidi Chunshen

A taboo for military strategists.How can he know that he is not quietly waiting for our army to show its flaws? "

Seeing Liu Bei's silence, Liu Ba said again: "Your Majesty also forgot what the Prime Minister said?"

Liu Bei nodded slightly, recalling what Zhuge Liang said when he took off from Shayan to exercise the navy:

--The five elements are impermanent, and the four seasons are impermanent.The day has short and long, and the moon has life and death.An army cannot always be strong and invincible.When its military power reaches its highest point, it must go in the opposite direction.At this time, a clever opponent will use strategies to accelerate its decline.I hope Your Majesty will be cautious.

"Zi Chu," Liu Bei thought for a moment, then returned to sit on the side of the couch, and said, "I remember what Zi Chu said."

Liu Ba calmed down a little, and said, "Your Majesty, Wuling has been restored. The second county of Linggui is in turmoil. Sun Quan already wants to seek peace. Why don't we just stop the war and force Sun Quan to return to the second county of Linggui? Once the soldiers die, Jingnan can recover."

Liu Bei sneered: "Zi Chu, you have underestimated Sun Quan too much. How can you be so courageous as a wolf with ambition? The three counties will pay it back if they say so?"

"Sun Zhongmou is at both ends of the head, how do you know he won't submit?"

"Hmph." Liu Bei said angrily, "What about Nanjun?! Let him return Nanjun to me! I will withdraw my troops!"

"..." Liu Ba naturally understood that taking back the three counties in Jingnan was not enough.However, Your Majesty...can't you draw it slowly?

"Zichu, do you really have no plan to take down Yiling?" Liu Bei asked again.

"I have a plan, but it's too risky. I hope His Majesty will consider it." Liu Ba said slowly.

"Zi Chu only comes through channels."

Liu Ba smiled slightly: "Draw the bottom of the pot and lead Lu Xun to a decisive battle. I climbed the danger of Jingmen and entered the encirclement. Lu Xun would not set up defenses for this. The encirclement is planning. I made a surprise plan in the encirclement, seized the barren road, and trapped Sun Sun in the south of the Yangtze River." Huan Yi's army is expected to take Yiling."

"This plan is very good!" Liu Bei said happily, "What worries Zichu?"

Liu Ba sighed: "The danger of Jingmen, the danger of the barbarian way, the country and the mountain are pressing against each other. If our army goes there, we will have to connect the camp to protect the retreat. Otherwise, there is always the risk of being cut off by the Wu people. This method is not respected by military strategists. It is because the formation grows like a snake, and the defensive line is also stretched accordingly, and defenses must be deployed everywhere. If there is a slight negligence, it will give the enemy an opportunity to attack with fire."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs? Zichu, have you studied the method of company management?" Liu Bei asked.

"All the generals don't understand the method of connecting camps. However, I can do my best." Liu Ba said: "If the prime minister is here, there will be no mistakes."

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "Kong Ming is thousands of miles away. Zichu, you have to do your best!"

"I...take orders."

Liu Bei nodded, and Liu Ba smiled back.On the couch, Liao Hua turned over and murmured in his dream, "Your Majesty... I want to avenge General Guan... I beg Your Majesty... to take Jingzhou back for my ministers and return to my hometown..."

"Yuan Jian, don't worry." Liu Bei whispered: "I will avenge this, and I will live up to your expectations."

In the spring and February of the second year of Zhang Wu, the Han army highlighted its surprise soldiers, and the Han general Huang Quan supervised the armies in the north of the Yangtze River to contain Lu Xun.Liu Bei led his generals to cross south from Zigui, climbed the danger of Jingmen, cut off the mountains, camped at Yidao Xiaoting, and attacked the Yidao.Even battalion to protect the road.This kind of surprise, attacking them unprepared, putting the army of Soochow on the flanks and ignoring them, the soldiers moved dangerously, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, obviously exceeded Lu Xun's expectations.Sun Huan's army in the south of the Yangtze River was besieged for several days, sitting on the road of barbarians, and only called for help.Liu Bei also sent generals to take advantage of the momentum to attack Yushan County, Nantong Wuling.For a while, the morale of the barbarian soldiers of the Han army in Wuling was greatly boosted, and Ma Liang led his troops to pacify Lingling and Guiyang counties in one fell swoop.Ready to attack Changsha at any time and go straight to Huanglong.

News of the success of the Han army spread frequently, Dongwu lost several counties in a row, Lu Xun was trapped in Yiling Road, and Jingzhou's defense also retreated all the way to Yiyang.Most of Jingnan has recovered.Sun Quan was so anxious in Wuchang Palace that he had a few gray hairs.All the generals of Eastern Wu lamented that Lu Xun's scholar had wronged his country.

The Han army no longer sang the Nine Songs of Oranges, nor did they sing about the people of Liba.After their great victory, they have already sung the song of the great wind, praising their emperor, and waiting for Vega Haineixi to return to his hometown.

"Great governor! Sun Andong's family has been trapped in Yidao for several months and has asked for help several times. Why not help?!" In the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Wu Yiling camp, Han Dang went straight into the account without notification, although he clasped his fists and marched , but asked Lu Xun sharply.All the generals followed behind and echoed one after another.

Several months have passed since Liu Bei climbed Jingmen, occupied Yi Road, and besieged Sun Huan. Lu Xun ordered to guard Yiling to the death.Winter has passed and spring has come, and now it is summer.All the generals complained, hating Lu Xun for missing the opportunity and not going to battle early.Now that Liu Bei has taken advantage of the land, Soochow has no choice but to defend.The Yiling camp has Nanjun, and Jiangling is behind, and the supply of food, grass and soldiers is endless.But Sun Huan's army was alone in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by the Han army, outnumbered, so he had to call Lu Xun to rescue him.All the generals of Eastern Wu understood that if Sun Huan was not rescued, Yidao would fall completely, and it would only be a matter of time before Yiling was captured by the Han army.When the time comes, why stick to it? !

Lu Xun got up slowly, still speaking in an unhurried tone: "Anton has won the hearts of the scholars, and the city prison has enough food, so there is nothing to worry about. Waiting for my plan to unfold, if you don't save Anton, Anton will relieve himself."

"Heh, what's a good plan?" Pan Zhang sneered: "Commander, we have been waiting for your plan for more than half a year. You are still at a loss."

Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Of course. My plan can be developed now. Now I can fight. Didn't you always want to fight Liu Bei?"

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other in amazement.Intuition Lu Xun treats war as a trifle.Han Dang said in a deep voice: "General Governor, please say it again. Did I hear you right?"

"I said," Lu Xun said, "it's time to fight."

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly," Pan Zhang said in a loud voice, "Attack and preparation should be at the beginning. The governor did not attack him earlier, but now he is ordered to enter the ground for five or six hundred miles. After seven or eight months of stalemate, he makes good use of the method of battalion. , all the key points have been firmly guarded, and it will be useless to attack them. It is better to save Sun Andong first, and then develop a good strategy."

"We all agree with General Pan's words!" All the generals of Eastern Wu agreed in unison.

"All vital points have been firmly guarded." Lu Xun said in a strict voice: "It is precisely because it is possible to defend everywhere, but it is difficult to defend everywhere. Preparations are cunning captives, and there are many things to do. The army has just assembled, and it is not possible to do it. Today I've lived here for a long time, I can't do it, the soldiers are exhausted, and they can't survive. The bandits are here today. I'll attack one of the battalions first...Who wants to go to war?"

"..." No one in the account agreed.Han Dang sighed: "The country has been misunderstood by this child."

"No one wants to?" Lu Xun pretended not to hear, and smiled lightly: "Okay, please guard the camp for me. I will lead the army to fight."

When the leader left the camp, Lu Xun, who was riding on the horse, had a smile on his lips.

...Liu Bei's big camp, the company formation that Liu Zichu personally set up, is extremely mysterious.Only when Xun goes to see it in person can he know whether there are any flaws!

***

Under the scorching sun, the Han army closely guarded every dangerous place with the method of company battalion.The striker continued to attack Sun Huan's army, and there was a tendency of dark clouds to overwhelm the city.Sun Huan is the clan of Eastern Wu, if there is a mistake, it will have a lot to do with it.When the Han army attacks, it must be rescued. It can seize the lifeline of Soochow and lure Lu Xun to help.

However, Lu Xun ordered to defend to the death. Sun Huanhuang's relatives, generals, and arrogance, although resenting Lu Xun for not sending troops to rescue him, would never give up the defense easily, so he supported him hard.The two sides confronted each other, and the offensive and defensive battle lasted for half a year.Liu Bei visited the front line several times in person, motivating the Han army to attack the city.Every time the Han army saw the emperor approaching the battle, their morale was high. However, when it seemed that they were about to break through the city defenses, they were met with fierce resistance by the Wu army. Day to fight again.As the weather became hotter day by day, the Han army was not familiar with the soil and water, and some soldiers had begun to fall ill.As a result, the recuperation period had to be extended.Liu Bei loves the soldiers, patrols the camp personally, asks about illnesses, and comforts the soldiers.Thanks to the love and encouragement of such a commander, the Han army was able to gather morale and was willing to continue fighting.

Not only the soldiers of each battalion, but also the most important and the most seriously ill patient in the whole army in his tent.

The military doctor waited in front of the emperor until Liu Bei returned in the evening.He immediately reported Liu Ba's illness to Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty," the military doctor said in a respectful tone, "Shang Shuling is already overworked when he is sick. The hotter summer will only make his condition worse. If he doesn't return to Chengdu to recuperate, he may not be able to sustain it."

"..." Liu Bei nodded.After a long silence, he said again: "All the officers and men in the camp also need to trouble the doctor."

"Your subordinates should do their duty." The military doctor bowed and resigned.

Liu Bei went into the sleeping tent and saw Liu Ba lying ill on the bed. Seeing him coming, he barely got up: "Your Majesty..."

"Zi Chu!" Liu Bei sat down in front of the couch, helped his own minister, and sighed, "Where did Zi Chu abandon me and the three armies?"

Liu Ba shook his head: "Your Majesty, I want to go out to see the night and get some air."

When Liu Bei heard this, he helped him up.The two monarchs and ministers came to the campfire outside the tent.The emperor in military uniform supported the sick Shang Shuling to sit down, and then he also sat aside.Evening breeze, still with a bit of sweltering heat.But it's not like in the daytime, when the four places seem to be covered with fire, which makes people breathless.

Liu Ba spoke slowly: "For several months, His Majesty Ba Cheng took care of him day and night, but he still couldn't get better...I am ashamed of being so kind. I know that Your Majesty is not willing to miss the important affairs of the three armies because of one of my ministers. But I still ask Your Majesty to listen to me." Word."

"...Tell me, Zichu."

"Be invincible first, and wait for the enemy to be victorious. The invincible is up to me, and the victorious is up to the enemy. Your Majesty, when fighting, you must first make yourself invincible, and then seek the enemy's weak point to break it. But if the enemy can also make himself invincible, it will be difficult for me to win. Now that Lu Xun and Sun Huan are able to defend Yiling to the death, so that I can't find a weak point to break it, it is already invincible. Your Majesty, you must not underestimate the rulers and ministers of Eastern Wu."

"So, Zichu can't beat him anymore?!" Liu
