Zhending City!
Liu Xian led the group to the County Commandery.
"This is the Taihang Mountains. This exit can bring the army out of the mountain range the fastest. Zhang Yan is in a hurry to support Guangzong.”Liu Xian pointed at the map of Zhending County and said.
Zhao Feng leaned in front of the map and asked curiously," Isn't this White Stone Canyon?"
" Yes," Liu Xian said in a deep voice." This is a canyon ten miles east of Zhao Family Village. If the Yellow Turban army of more than 100,000 comes out of the mountain, it will definitely affect Zhao Family Village!"”
"More than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers. We can't stop them with the 1,000 guards of Zhending County!”Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Da, da!"
Liu Xian tapped his fingers on the table and said with a faint smile,"Continue. I want to see how you will deal with this situation!”
"Here!"
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice," If we want to stop an army of more than 100,000, it's impossible to rely on force, so we need to take advantage of the time, place, and people. First, we need to deploy troops above the canyon, mainly with boulders, rolling wood, and arrows. The canyon will be filled with hay. When Zhang Yan leads the army across half of the canyon, we will cut off the army from the left and right. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely scatter in two directions. Zilong and General Dian Wei will lead the army to kill Zhang Yan. Once Zhang Yan dies, the Yellow Turban Army will be nothing but a beast without claws and teeth. They did not have any offensive power at all. 3,000 troops could suppress 100,000 rebels!”
"3,000 troops can suppress 100,000 rebels?" Liu Xian lightly laughed.
"Zhao Feng scratched his head and smiled bitterly."It's just my humble opinion. As for how to march, it's up to the general to decide!”
"Have you ever read military books?" A strange light flashed in Liu Xian's eyes.
"Yes!"
" Yes." Zhao Feng nodded and said," When Zilong first became Master Tong Yuan's disciple, Master Tong Yuan knew that I was weak, so he left behind some books. Some of them are about the Spring and Autumn Annals, and some are about military books!”
"What's the name of the military book?" Liu Xian asked curiously.
"Sima Fa should have been written by Sima Yin, the King of Yin in the early days of our dynasty!”Zhao Feng scratched his head and explained,
"You're wrong!"
"Sima Fa is Sima Rang Ju's military book. If you haven't heard of it, then you should know Tian Rang Ju. He was a great military master during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, not inferior to Sun Bin or Pang Juan!"”
"It's him?" Zhao Feng quivered.”
"That's right, since you've learned Tian Rang Ju's art of war!”
"Then today, I'll pass you Wu Mu's Will. This book is about the Dao of War. As long as you can learn it, I'll let you be the commander!”Liu Xian took out a thread-bound book from his bosom.
"Luoyang paper is too extravagant!" Zhao Feng received Wu Mu's will excitedly.
"I'll tell you now, what's wrong with the strategy I just mentioned!" Liu Xian shook his head and smiled faintly.”
"Here!" Zhao Feng said respectfully.
"Firstly, it's midsummer now. Zhang Yan will definitely notice if we fill it with hay, so we should use strong alcohol and alchemical fire oil!”
" Secondly, we can't let them rush out of the canyon. Because the Yellow Turban army has cavalry, we should dig a trench at the exit to stop the cavalry!”
"Thirdly, we can't be sure if Zhang Yan will take this exit, so we have to set up a diversion here. If Zhang Yan really takes these two exits, we have to force him to take the White Stone Canyon!”Liu Xian pointed at the map and said.
"But we only have 4,000 soldiers. How can we set up a diversion?" Zhao Feng asked.”
"Suspicious soldiers, suspicious soldiers, of course, suspicious soldiers!”
"You and Li Qing will each lead 3,000 citizens, raise 50 flags on each side, and lie in ambush in the forest on both sides!”
"Each citizen will have a hunting bow in their hands, and they will shoot three arrows at a time. They will pretend to have the momentum of a 50,000-strong army and force Zhang Yan into the White Stone Canyon!”Liu Xian said in a deep voice.
Zhao Feng shook his head and said,"No, it's not the best plan!"”
"The best plan?"
"The combination of Qi and Zheng is called marching and fighting!”
"Remember to make a name for yourself. Left Lieutenant General, Right Lieutenant General!”
"We still have a little more than a day. Zhen Ding County Magistrate, prepare the flags, bows, and arrows. County Lieutenant, organize the 6,000 citizens!”Liu Xian said indifferently.
"Here!" The county captain and the county magistrate replied respectfully.
Liu Xian sipped his tea and said lightly,"You think that you have lost the demeanor of a gentleman and put the people in danger?"”
"There is righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period. There should be righteousness for enemies and friends!”Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Haha!"
"I think you've gone crazy from reading the Spring and Autumn Annals!"
"Confucius believed in the Rites of Zhou, and the so-called Spring and Autumn Annals were written by him!”
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, all the vassals of the various countries were friends and relatives. When they fought, they would all form a square formation.”
"It was not until the birth of Sun Wu, the military tycoon, that the curtain of the Warring States Period was lifted. Remember this sentence, make the best use of everything and make the best use of everyone. We had no choice. If we let Zhang Yan pass through Changshan, millions of people would die!”
"I know you're very dissatisfied, but you have to know how to make a choice!”
"Do you think the Yellow Turban Army still has food after such a long raid in the Taihang Mountains?”
"When they leave the mountain, they will definitely plunder first. At that time, even Chang Mountain will become ruins!”
"Right now, I'm just letting them put on an act and shoot arrows. They won't take their lives!”
"I can guarantee that if even one of the six thousand civilians is killed or injured by the Yellow Turban Army, you can take my head at any time!”Liu Xian said indifferently.
"General, are you that confident?" Zhao Feng's body trembled.”
"Back Wei Army, we will draw our swords when we meet the enemy. This is our creed. The moment I established the Back Wei Army, the seed of victory was already planted in my flesh, so the Back Wei Army will not be defeated!”Liu Xian said lightly.
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and said respectfully,"Lord, Feng has learned his lesson!"
"Phew!"
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Li Qing all heaved a sigh of relief.
From the beginning to the end, they didn't say a word. It was all the conversation between Liu Xian and Zhao Feng. It was a confrontation of beliefs and worldviews.
Obviously, Liu Xian had convinced Zhao Feng.
