Chapter 94 The embarrassment of the military division(1/2)
"The first round, March 3rd of spring...... The 'Military Advisor' first wrote the suggestion card."
With the sound of Xi Zhicai's slightly cynical voices, the confrontation between soldiers and soldiers officially began.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong immediately wrote on the piece of paper in their hands. Even Xun Yu frowned and thought about writing a few lines on the piece of paper, but Guo Jia only wrote two words, then picked up the wine pot and started to eat.
Soon after, seeing that Guo Jia and the other four had all finished writing, Xi Zhicai raised his hand and said, "Tele to the soldiers and hand over the suggestions of the 'military advisor' to their respective 'generals'." He invited four Xun family servants to serve as sending letters early to ensure the fairness of the game.
Four suggested cards were given to Zhang Huang and others.
[I'll just watch it first?]
Zhang Huang looked at the five words on the paper in his hand in surprise, turned his head to look at Guo Jia with some confusion, but saw Guo Jia nodding with a smile on his face. Zhang Huang immediately understood. It must be that Guo Jia wanted to understand the other party's information first, so he did not issue an order and let him Zhang Huang deal with it.
"Four 'generals' can act now." Xi Zhicai said.
As soon as the words were finished, four students from Yingchuan Academy walked up to Zhang Huang and others. According to the rules, Zhang Huang and others could tell the four people the instructions for action, and the four people wrote the "action" on the paper, and then handed the action card to the chief judge Xi Zhicai. Of course, the existence of these four people was actually optional, but Xi Zhicai was just to avoid Zhang Huang and others not being able to write.
Comparing the suggestions given by their respective military advisors, Zhang Huang, Li Tong, Chen Dao and Zang Ba told the four Yingchuan students their actions, and the latter wrote them down immediately. After asking Zhang Huang and others to confirm that it was correct, they handed them over to Xi Zhicai one by one.
"Then, now the actions of the four generals in the first round will be announced." Looking at the four action cards one by one, Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice, "Yingchuan Fang. Chen Dajun built a camp on the spot,..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a student quickly took a finely made miniature camp model and placed it upside down in front of the map where Chen Dao stood, which opened his eyes to Zhang Huang and others.
"Yingchuan, Zhang Huang's army, chose to cross the Ying River... to encounter Zang Ba's army!"
[Eh?]
Zhang Huang and Zang Ba couldn't help but look at each other, and then showed a knowing smile.
"War or not?...The military advisors on both sides can write suggestions!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly wrote, asking Yingchuan students who acted as messengers to hand them over to Zang Ba. On the other hand, Guo Jia drank on his own.
"Fight!" Zang Ba and Zhang Huang, who had seen Zhuge Liang's suggestion, said in unison.
"Are you fighting in front of the formation?" Xi Zhicai asked again.
It can be seen that Zang Ba frowned slightly, but after taking a look at Zhuge Liang's suggestion card, he nodded. On the other hand, Zhang Huang also nodded and made a choice.
Seeing this, a student from Yingchuan behind Xi Zhicai handed over a wooden sign engraved with "Ying" and "Xiang" on both sides. It is not difficult to guess that the winner and loser of Dou Zheng must be determined by this wooden sign. But what is surprising is that Xi Zhicai waved his hand and said directly, "The fight against the generals in front of the two sides, Zang Ba was defeated!... Will Zhang Huang's army pursue?"
[What's going on? It is directly judged that Zang Ba Dou will be defeated without losing the card?]
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xun Yu, and even Guo Jia were slightly stunned.
"Chasing!" Zhang Huang shrugged for granted.
"Zhang Huang's army decided to pursue Zang Ba's army!... As a result of the battle, Zhang Huang's army lost ten troops and Zang Ba's army lost twenty troops. Zhang Huang's army successfully crossed Yingchuan." After saying that, Xi Zhicai signaled Zhang Huang to the west side of the Yingshui River on the giant map.
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xun Yu bowed their heads and thought.
It is not difficult for them to guess from Xi Zhicai's actions just now. The two armies do not have to use the wooden card to decide which side wins. There seems to be a hidden rule: if the fighter encounters Zhang Huang, he will lose.
[It seems that when you meet Zhang Huang, you can only give up fighting...]
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other. Finally, they understood why the Zhang Huang army on Guo Jia's side had only 800 troops, while the rest had 1,000. Combined with these two messages, the four military advisors quickly came to a conclusion: Zhang Huang, the generals would win.
In addition, the four military advisors noticed an incredible phenomenon: Zang Bajun, who was obviously defeated by the generals and was about to be defeated by the enemy in 100, suffered only twenty people in the end, which was obviously unreasonable. Obviously, there is a rule hidden in this.
[Are you good at military command or retreat?]
Zhuge Liang frowned and thought. After all, if Zang Ba had hidden the rules that the army would not be defeated when retreating and defeating, he could act as a role to put out the fire for Pang Tong. When he encountered a war that would definitely be defeated, he could be called Zang Ba Shang, which could avoid losses in military strength. But if the military command was strengthened, it would be... amazing!
At the same time, Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at Zang Ba separately, and they could see that there was a bit of wariness in their eyes.
"In Xiangyang, Li Tong's army stationed on the west side of the Ying River." Xi Zhicai's words declared the end of the first round of the game.
"The second round, March 6th, spring... the 'military advisor' wrote the suggestion card." Xi Zhicai raised his hand to signal the four military advisors who were still thinking.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at Zhang Huang who had crossed the Yingshui River, then looked at each other, nodding at each other as if sending some message. Xun Yu originally frowned slightly, but when he saw that Xi Zhicai did not express anything at all, he suddenly realized: it turned out that as long as he didn't speak, the military advisor could also use his eyes to convey messages.
Xun Yu, who had figured out this floor, quickly looked at Guo Jia, but regretfully found that Guo Jia was sitting in an indecent position on the chair, while eating wine while looking at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong with interest.
[It seems that we can only fight alone...]
Xun Yu sighed slightly.
Then, after receiving the suggestion cards from their respective military advisors, the four generals began to take action.
"Zhang Huangjun chose to travel west and encountered Li Tongjun... Are the two sides fighting against generals?"
"Give up the fight." Li Tong said after Xi Zhicai asked.
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Li Tong gave up fighting generals, the morale of the army fell, Li Tong's army was defeated, losing twenty troops, and Zhang Huang's army lost ten troops. Li Tong's army retreated to its original place."
"No, right? Is it defeated now?" Li Tong shouted with an exaggerated expression. But he was warned by Xi Zhicai.
Seeing this, the four military advisors lowered their heads and thought again.
[As a matter of morale, wouldn’t this be impossible to defeat Zhang Huangjun anyway?]
Just as they were thinking secretly, they suddenly heard Xi Zhicai shout again, "Zang Ba's army attacked Zhang Huang's army, will both sides fight against generals?"
"Give up the fight." Zang Ba, who had suffered a loss once, spoke.
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Zang Bajun gave up the fight, and the morale of the entire army fell. As a result of the battle, both sides were tied. Each lost ten troops and retreated to their original position."
“Eh?”
"I gave up the fight and actually got a draw?"
"Is there a mistake? I didn't have a morale decline just now, but I was defeated."
The students who were not sure of this started to discuss it, but Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia and Xun Yu understood it.
[It turns out that Zang Ba has strengthened his military command...]
Zhuge Liang's eyes showed joy.
What does Zang Ba mean to strengthen this rule in the command of the army? It means that he can easily defeat Chen Daojun on Xun Yu's side. Even if he meets Zhang Huang's army, as long as he gives up fighting the generals, the worst situation will be just a draw.
[Grab the Admiral!]
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but show his joy on the ground.
On the other hand, Xun Yu frowned inadvertently, and obviously he also realized this.
At the end of the second round, the four military advisors began to think again.
After two rounds of temptation, they have summarized several rules set by Xi Zhicai, and two of them are the most critical.
First, Zhang Huang is unparalleled in the fight. This rule means that under the rules that the result of the fight in front of the formation affects the morale of the two armies, Zhang Huang's army will not be defeated in a head-on battle, and at most it will only be a draw.
Second, the commander Zang Ba is strengthening. This rule means that Zang Ba will not lose too much troops in either attacking or retreating. In addition, in addition to giving up the fight when encountering Zhang Huang's army, he can easily defeat him when he encounters another Chen Dao army on Yingchuan.
[Compared with Fengxiao, it is better to use the "general" of that side...]
Xun Yu, who did not advocate the way of a strange weapon, looked at Zang Ba on Zhuge Liang's side, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
Of course, these messages all come from the scope of head-on confrontation. As for the "military general information" in the surprise attack, it still needs to be tested again through the four military advisors.
"The third round, March 9th." Because the rules have been roughly explained, Xi Zhicai spoke much more concisely.
But this time, Guo Jia unexpectedly picked up a pen and wrote a suggestion card for Zhang Huang. You should know that in the first three rounds, he did not give Zhang Huang any suggestions.
When he saw Guo Jia's suggestion card, Zhang Huang's face looked strange.
The action card of the four generals was handed over to Xi Zhicai again. He looked at it and said, "Li Tong's army crossed the Ying River, and Zang Ba's army crossed the Ying River."
[Is this for me?]
Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, and at this moment, he saw Xi Zhicai laughing, "Zhang Huang's army stored the Ying River in the upper reaches for three days, and dug the Ying River when Li Tong's army and Zang Ba's army crossed the river. Li Tong's army and Zang Ba's army were severely damaged, and each lost 100 troops. The two armies retreated to the west side of the Ying River."
[What?]
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at Guo Jia in shock, but saw Guo Jia looking at them with a smile while drinking, and opened his mouth to make a mouth shape: Spring Flood.
[…]
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other and felt that their backs were cold. Only then did they realize that Xi Zhicai added dates to the number of rounds, not to make it easy for everyone to remember or to calculate the movement power of the four armies. More importantly, they probably had to ask the four military advisors to take advantage of the situation and use their skills in the world.
[So, can the map position under the feet of the four generals also be used?]
Xun Yu hurriedly looked at Chen Dao and found that he was standing on a small hill in the map. He breathed a sigh of relief. When he thought that if the geographical location was good, with his advantage of occupying a high place, Zang Ba's army might not be able to defeat Chen Dao's army and capture the camp he had built in two rounds.
However, at this time, the students in the hall were still whispering.
"One...one hundred?"
"The two armies directly reduced by one hundred?"
"I'm stupid. Brother Fengxiao has offered a plan to dig the Ying River. Just one hundred is more than one hundred? Think about it, how terrible it would be if the Ying River was really dug out!"
“That’s right…”
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at Guo Jia with serious expressions. They knew that Guo Jia had guessed that they were going to attack Xun Yu together. Therefore, Zhang Huang asked to accumulate spring flood water upstream of the Ying River and launched a water attack when Li Tong and Zang Ba crossed the river, which made them wasted a precious round and made them pay a heavy price of one hundred soldiers per person.
[It's still Guo Fengxiao's skills are better than that...]
Xun Shuang stroked her beard with some satisfaction, glanced at Sima Hui with anxiety on her face, and thought to herself, look at my student, you will have a huge loss for your two beloved disciples with one plan.
Sima Hui didn't notice Xun Shuang's smug eyes, but he had no time to pay attention to it now, because he clearly noticed that Zhuge Liang's "general" Zang Ba's face was becoming more and more impatient.
Sure enough, Sima Hui's premonition was verified.
