Chapter 385: Torn apart (2)
Everyone in the tent was experienced and experienced. When they heard what A Shu said, they immediately understood his intention to fight. Therefore, they all praised in their hearts, "It's indeed a good strategy." The tactic of accompaniment and attacking aids proposed by A Shu can attack and retreat or defend. On the one hand, they can achieve the strategic purpose of attacking and destroying the Quanzhen Sect. On the other hand, they can continuously annihilate the rescue soldiers who come to help, so that the people who share this heart in the world will gradually become scruples. As long as they are afraid of killing, no one will rescue the Quanzhen Sect again. Once that time, the Quanzhen Sect will be like fish on the table and slaughtered by others. As for the reputation of the Mongolian army, it will be spread out, making the heroes of the Central Plains frightened. In this way, it will be equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. While attacking the enemy, it also increases its prestige. It is not bad.
Although Batong was robbed by A Shu just now, he was open-minded and broad-minded, and he was not the kind of person who was easy to hold grudges. In addition, with his clever plan at hand, he highly praised A Shu. After discussing with the people around him, he felt that there was nothing missing, so he turned around and bowed to Xiao Yao and said, "General Xiao, A Shu's plan is very wonderful, and we have no objection. If you do this, please decide whether to take it."
Xiao Yao smiled slightly and said, "General A Shu is indeed a phoenix among people. The strategy of surrounding and supporting points and aiding is comprehensive and stable, but it is also a smart plan."
When A Shu heard Xiao Yao’s praise, he immediately knelt on one knee, saluted with both hands, and bowed, "Thank you for the praise of General."
Seeing this, Batong said: "Then arrange this..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Yao turn the conversation and then said, "The clever plan is the clever plan, but this strategy cannot be used in this battle."
He just praised and boasted about A Shu, so everyone thought that Xiao Yao had already agreed to this strategy, which meant that he had already set the direction for the battle. Unexpectedly, at this time, the general who had the military talisman and had the final decision to make the decision suddenly said that this battle could not be used by A Shu's strategy. How can everyone not feel confused? It is important to know that there is no joke in the army. As the supreme commander in the army, his words and deeds may directly determine the life and death of the 50,000 brothers under his command.
Because of this, the deputy generals used a questioning and alert look at Xiao Yao, a general who seemed weak and was only appointed by the order. It was not until Xiao Yao showed his own strength that they chose to accept and believe. However, at this time, Xiao Yao's words "The clever plan is the clever plan, but this battle cannot be used" made them confused: "Since it is a clever plan, why can't it be used? If it cannot be used, why do you praise it as a clever plan? Isn't this a contradictory?"
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt a sense of doubt in their hearts, and they said to themselves: "Although this Lord Xiao is very skilled in martial arts and has great strength, he has never led the army to fight a war. Do he understand this marching deployment, strategic arrangement, etc.?" Once such an idea appears, out of the responsibility of the lives of tens of thousands of brothers under his command, it must be that he would question Xiao Yao or even resist.
Seeing that everyone in front of him suddenly had bad expressions, even A Shu, who was praised by the intersection just now, had his eyebrows slightly raised, and a complex look of confusion and doubt appeared on his face. Xiao Yao knew this well, so he was not panicked. He ignored everyone's eyes. After scanning the tent, he just slowly said: "General A Shu's plan is indeed a thorough consideration. He can not only predict the enemy's initiative, take into account the reaction of the Quanzhen Sect, but also adapt to the situation and come up with a trick like sniping reinforcements halfway. If it were used in other places, this plan would be perfect."
"But Quanzhen Sect is located on Mount Zhongnan, and Zhongnan Mountain is a section of the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains stretch from east to west and stretch for thousands of miles. The terrain in the mountains is steep, with ravines and ravines, and the dangers of the nine provinces. How can such a terrain be blocked by only 30,000 elite soldiers? What's more, Zhongnan Mountain is the nest of those old masters of Quanzhen Sect. They must be very familiar with how to escape, what paths are there in the mountains.
No, they have accumulated over the years, and even the secret passages of escape are available. If we follow General A Shu's plan, we will surround and not attack at the beginning, but just set up sniper reinforcements outside to ambush reinforcements, there is naturally no problem. But if Quanzhen Sect gets the news and knows that there is no hope of rescue, who can guarantee that they will not make up their minds and simply use the terrain to escape collectively, in order to preserve their strength, and then turn back and lead the heroes of the Central Plains to fight with us?"
"At the same time, there is also a problem with this so-called "strike". According to General A Shu's arrangement, it is necessary to divide 20,000 people, and then scatter to all major roads to Zhongnan Mountain to block the reinforcements. This seems to be true, but I wonder if you have thought about it. There are more than a thousand roads leading to Zhongnan Mountain from all directions? We blocked ten or a hundred, but we couldn't block all our minds to bypass our people. Once these 20,000 people are divided into the entire Shaanxi territory, how many people are left on each road? And, we are
What we are going to face is the best masters in the world, and these people are very likely to travel together. If we have fewer people, we will not be able to deal with these people with unique skills. However, if there are too many, there will inevitably be fish that miss the net. Although these fish that miss the net will have no impact on our final attack on the Quanzhen Sect, in this case, I don’t know how many of our good brothers will be lost. Therefore, General Ah Shu’s plan to surround and attack aid will be very likely to become a situation that cannot be surrounded or defeated."
As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. Batong looked at Xiao Yao in shock, and could not speak for a moment. He really never expected that this civil servant who looked like a scholar would have a more thorough understanding and grasp of the situation of the battle than his veteran who had been through the battlefield. How could he not be surprised? The others and Batong had roughly the same ideas. They had thought before that, even if Kublai Khan sent Xiao Yao to fight in this battle, he would be just the nominal coach. When the fight really started, he would be like to give advice and lead the crowd to kill these things. In the end, he would be the ones who were the so-called coach, the so-called coach, the most important thing.
It was just a role of a squad, so he always looked down on Xiao Yao very much. Until Xiao Yao showed his strength, these people changed their attitude towards him, but that was only because of Xiao Yao's personal bravery and respected only by him, not because of his coach. But now, Xiao Yao hit the nail on the head, directly pointed out the various problems in this plan that everyone thought was flawless. Such a keen insight, such a decisive hero, and the unquestionable authority were completely the style that an excellent coach could show. How could such a change not shock Batong and others?
After coming back to his senses, everyone savored it carefully, including A Shu himself, who had already vaguely noticed the loopholes in this plan. But after all, he was used to being smooth sailing, and he suddenly encountered setbacks and was unhappy in his heart. So after thinking for a while, he asked, "Why don't General Xiao have any good plans? I'll listen carefully."
Xiao Yao chuckled and said, "This is the meaning of this battle. His Highness Kublai Khan must lead the army by this general. I know that you must be dissatisfied with Xiao, but there is one thing that everyone should know, this battle is different from a battle between the two armies and fighting on the battlefield. Now, our opponent is a sect in the world, so this is not called military, nor is it called war. This is called grudge, or fight. Things in the world need the world. If the generals use military means to deal with this battle, the result will probably be unimaginable. However, Xiao was born in the grassroots and grew up in the world, and he could not understand such things. Therefore, Xiao said what he said just now, and I hope the generals will understand it."
Batong and Bomute and others said, "I will follow the general's teachings. If the general has his orders, he will follow all the last generals." His expression was very respectful.
Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, suddenly looked fierce and said, "Since that's the case, the generals under the tent obey orders, and the troops are on standby. Without my orders, no one is allowed to dispatch at will. Violating military laws will be carried out!"
