Pet official

Sima Hong was speechless for a while, and the more he listened, the more he felt that it made sense. If it was true what Ruan Yunqing said, then he, like those border guards, fell into Feng Kui's tricks, was instigated and instigated by him, and thus became dissatisfied with Emperor Hongyou.

Now the soldiers at the frontier have rebelled, and he himself seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. He is resentful and unwilling to reconcile himself. He wished to kill the court and go to the emperor to settle the score. If he hadn't heard Ruan Yunqing's explanation, he wouldn't know why he was so confused. time to go.

Sima Hong's cold sweat dripped down, he was so annoyed and remorseful that he didn't know what to do.

Feng Kui was really harmful, Sima Hong cursed inwardly.In case he was not determined and wavered in the slightest while defending the city, it is very likely that he would follow Feng Kui and raise the flag to rebel like those frontier soldiers at this time.

What a risk, what a risk.

Sima Hong couldn't help but blush when he thought of how disrespectful he had uttered wild words to Song Bin just now.He hurriedly stood up, removed the armor on his body, knelt down in front of Song Bin, and repeatedly confessed: "The general is so stupid! Why did he listen to one side and believe it, fell into Feng Kui's tricks, and almost blamed His Highness And the emperor. I am really ashamed of the emperor's kindness, and I have no face to meet the emperor again. The final general is willing to accept the crime, and please punish him."

Song Ru waved his hands and smiled, "What did General Sima say? All of this is Feng Kui's fault, so it has nothing to do with you."

He hurried over to help him, helped him up with his own hands, and comforted him: "The most important thing now is how to break through the enemy's camp, capture Feng Kui, and avenge General Xiao and those brothers who died in vain. There is no need to worry about other trivial matters in the future." carry."

Song Ju was so magnanimous that he spoke recklessly and disrespectfully to himself, without any intention of blaming him.Sima Hong felt even more guilty, hating himself for being too irritable, he shouldn't have acted indiscriminately without asking indiscriminately, almost wronged a good person, almost delayed the military aircraft, and ruined Song Ren's major event.

Regardless of Song Bin's obstruction, Sima Hong bent down and saluted again, got up and bowed to the ground, and said to Song Bin: "The last general will be dispatched by His Royal Highness in the future, there will be no difference!"

He also made an apology to Nie Pengcheng, and told him not to blame him.Nie Pengcheng inevitably hurt him a few words, Sima Hong felt that he was in the wrong, so he just listened with a silly smile, and didn't say anything more.They are all brothers in the same robe, and they have no grievances in their hearts. When the two sides talk about it, the matter will be exposed.

Several people talked about Feng Kui again, and the resentment in the words could not be suppressed.Although Nie Pengcheng was in Beijing, he didn't know the details of Feng Kui's rebellion very clearly.Because it involved Qin Ji, Emperor Hongyou felt that the matter was disgraceful, and he had always been very secretive about Feng Kui's handling, saying half a sentence and hiding half a sentence, no wonder he gave Feng Kui a chance to make use of it.

Knowing the truth now, how could Sima Hong and Nie Pengcheng hold back their anger, especially knowing that Feng Kui was the real culprit who killed Xiao Yucheng, and they wished to catch this thief immediately and tear his body into pieces. Dispel the hatred in my heart.

"Your Highness just tell me how to fight."

Sima Hong's heart was on fire, just waiting for Song Ren to give an order.Nie Pengcheng also felt itchy hands. After Yan came back to the city, he hadn't made any achievements yet, so he couldn't hold back for a long time.

What Song Ren wanted was the morale that was twisted up and down. Seeing this situation, he was naturally happy in his heart, and he no longer concealed it, and hurriedly said the battle strategy he had just thought about.

"Breaking the enemy camp can be divided into three steps. First, burn the land where they store food. Second, harass the enemy. Third, secretly disintegrate."

Sima Hong listened for a while, and felt that Song Bin's strategy did not match the lofty ambitions he was about to fight just now, so he couldn't help but disappointed and said: "What's so good about this strategy? It's lukewarm, none of it is compatible with that The rebels have a good time."

Nie Pengcheng also felt bored, he spent more time with Song Bi, and knew Song Bi's way of doing things better than Sima Hong.There must be other deep meanings in these strategies, and he hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, let me explain in detail how to proceed in these three steps."

Song Ju smiled slightly. He spread out the deployment map he had just drawn, pointed at it, and explained slowly: "I don't need to go into details about the burning of food. I think the two generals can understand it. I'll just talk about the next two steps." That's it."

Sima Hong and the two nodded.Everyone who marches and fights understands how important food and grass are to the army.Food and grass are the key to the morale of the army. There are 50 rebels, even if there is some water in them, and those who died and fled are removed, there are still more than [-] people left.

So many people have to eat every day, and if they eat poorly, the whole army may mutiny. The amount of food and grass consumed will never be a small amount. If they want to increase supplies, they will definitely disperse their forces and go to other places State funding.The rebel army went all the way south, like locusts crossing the border, and almost looted all the people, property, and things they could take away. Once they ran out of food and grass, they could only go to remote towns far away to raise food, which took time. Not to mention the effort, whether food and grass can be obtained is also unknown.Therefore, as long as they burn their food storage land according to Song Ren's plan, they can win without bloodshed and without fighting.

However, this move is also very likely to cause a backlash, forcing the rebels to break the boat and fight them to the death.Therefore, this strategy cannot be used now, and it will only be effective when it is implemented in conjunction with other strategies when the right time arises.

As for the right timing, it depends on the second and third steps Song Ru said.

Song Ren said: "General Nie, I want you to start tomorrow and divide your soldiers into eight teams, each with 3000 soldiers. They will take turns to fight in the enemy camp opposite day and night."

Nie Pengcheng slapped his hands as soon as he heard it, and immediately rubbed his fists, eager to try: "Success! Your Highness is just waiting to take the prisoners of war!"

It can be regarded as a chance to play, how can Nie Pengcheng not be happy.Unexpectedly, before he was happy with this side, Song Ju sent another message: "I didn't ask you to really fight."

Nie Pengcheng was taken aback for a moment, if he didn't really fight, what would he do before going to the rebel camp?

Seeing that he was puzzled, Song Ren quickly laughed and said: "This is called formation, not the other. You take people and horses to the enemy's camp. Firstly, you don't need to line up, and secondly, you don't need to ring gold. Horses go to Luanling, and people put on battle armor. Just go to the enemy's camp." Just break through. Remember, defeat is not allowed, and troops will be withdrawn immediately after a fight. Those who escape will be rewarded, and those who fight to the end will be punished."

Nie Pengcheng screamed anxiously: "What kind of war is this called?"

Still allowed to lose but not allowed to win?How can there be no victory in war?

Song Fu smiled and said nothing, and waited until Nie Pengcheng finished complaining, before he said with a smile: "I didn't say no to fighting. After the battle is over, it is natural to fight. It's just that out of these ten battles, only one is actually fought, while the other nine It's just a fake fight."

Nie Pengcheng was completely confused by the phrase "you can't win if you lose", and didn't understand the meaning of Song Ju's last sentence for a long time.He milled back and forth in the room, muttering non-stop, saying that he was aggrieved, and shouting that this battle could not be fought.

After Sima Hong went through the previous incidents, he was completely convinced by Song Bin. Hearing Song Bin's words at this time, although he felt wrong in his heart, he did not say it so straightforwardly like Nie Pengcheng.He just sat on a chair in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, burying his head in deep thought, thinking about the deep meaning of Song Ren's strategy.

It was still Ruan Yunqing who explained: "Your Highness means to harass the enemy first, send a team of troops to fight in and out of the enemy camp continuously, disturbing them, and then take advantage of their negligence to fight for real. In this way With twice the result with half the effort, our people don't have to suffer too much loss, but the rebels have to be on guard against our harassment. When the enemy has been disturbed for a long time and the number of times is too high, they will inevitably expose their shortcomings and show some flaws. Now is our chance to really fight.”

Song Ren glanced at Ruan Yunqing, and praised: "That's right. That's exactly what I mean. Of course, disturbing the enemy is only one of them, and the next secret disintegration is the main story. Feng Kui's army is not stable, and several of his men are doing their own thing. I think Send someone to General Ma Yuanma to persuade him to surrender, if you can persuade him to change his mind and stop helping Feng Kui to attack south, then Feng Kui's rebel army will be defeated without attacking."

At this time, Sima Hong and Nie Pengcheng understood what Song Ju meant by the three steps.

First, send people to take turns to harass the enemy in the rebel camp, and then run away after the fight, deliberately disturbing the continuous defense in the rebel camp.After such a playful offensive and defensive battle, everyone would underestimate the enemy.Repeat this several times, and when no one will take this kind of playful attack on the camp seriously anymore, then send Nie Pengcheng to attack them head-on and fight them for real.Repeating this over and over again, over time, will surely make the rebel camp exhausted and physically and mentally exhausted.

At the same time, Song Renhui will send someone to Ma Yuan's army to persuade him to surrender. This General Ma is Xiao Yucheng's capable general, and his position in the army is second only to Xiao Yucheng. , Let him turn against each other, then Feng Kui's rebel army will immediately fall apart and fall apart.As long as General Ma turns his back, his soldiers will naturally follow, and there is nothing to fear from the mob like Feng Kui.

After that, send people to burn their food and grass, cut off their retreat, and use three-pronged approach, how can the rebel army be undefeated.

This plan is meticulous and meticulous, and it is definitely a good strategy to defeat the enemy with less and more.They do not have an advantage in numbers, and if they attack by force, even if they can barely win, they will lose both sides.Moreover, it would be disgraceful to talk about fighting in the same room. Sima Hong and Nie Pengcheng are naturally happy to see Ma Yuan persuaded to surrender and let him know his way back and not have to fight with his own people.They were all Dongli's generals in the first place, so why would they just fight here for the sake of a villain?It's the best possible outcome.

Sima Hong and Nie Pengcheng were speechless for a long time, and they were silent for a long time, they really admired the strategy and insights in Song Ru's chest.

This plan not only punished the treacherous, but also left a retreat for those deceived soldiers. If Ma Yuan followed Feng Kuinan to attack, he would be charged with "rebellion". Not only now, but also in the history books in the future Even if he left a name, he could not escape the infamy of being a helper and abuser.

Emperor Hongyou is not very good, but what kind of good can Feng Kui be? If his name is not right, and the power of the king is granted by God, how can he be allowed to be usurped by a treacherous villain at will?Besides, now that there is Song Ren, even if they don't protect Emperor Hongyou, they still have to look at the prince's face, guard Dongli's great rivers and mountains, and prevent Feng Kui's iron hoof from trampling at will.

Song Ren is a generous person, even for people who have made mistakes like Ma Yuan, he can show mercy and show mercy, which shows that he has a heart that is beyond comparison with ordinary people.In the future, he will definitely become a famous master of a generation, and benefit the people of Dongli.

Sima Hong and the two had no other worries, they hurriedly stood up and bowed to accept the order.At this time, the two of them had already regarded Song Ren as the future king, and they respected and convinced him from the bottom of their hearts.From then on, they only recognized Song Ren as the master, and they had no second thoughts.

Several people discussed the details in detail, and Song Ren pointed out that the most corner place on the deployment map was a mountain depression, which was the camp of Ma Yuan and others.

"Persuading Ma Yuan to surrender is crucial to this battle. If General Ma cannot be persuaded to change his mind, this battle will be a failure. I don't know how long it will be delayed."

Nie Pengcheng also said: "Ma Yuan is notoriously difficult to talk, with a sour mouth and a cold face, and he looks like he owes him money to everyone. He has a half-teacher friendship with Xiao Yucheng, and loves him as a brother. It's no wonder that after he learned of General Xiao's death, he was so angry that he vowed to go to the capital to seek justice for General Xiao."

"It is precisely because of this that Feng Kui's trick is a double-edged sword. How much General Ma hates the emperor now, and when he knows the truth in the future, this hatred will be redoubled on Feng Kui. This is exactly what we can do. The place to use it is only this person who went to persuade him to surrender..."

Ruan Yunqing thought for a moment, and then said: "The person who is going to persuade him to surrender must bring an important witness."
