Chapter 182 Show weakness
When Xiao Tianjian went out of the city again, it was already the ugly time in the early morning of the next day. And when he went out of the city, there was a young man in a scribe's shirt beside Xiao Tian's fitness. He walked with him all the way out of the county and returned to the camp. When they returned to the camp, the sky was about to dawn. However, Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin were not sleepy at all. On the contrary, even his cold seemed to be much better.
Moreover, Xiao Tianjian's face is full of spring breeze. The standard is that people are in a happy state of energy. After washing his face with cold water, he said to Li Xin, "There are many inconveniences in the army. I hope you can take care of it more! At present, it is the time of war between the two armies. Xiao's army has an order that all the wartime army is not allowed to have a banquet, so you can't wash the dust for your husband!"
Li Xin was really flattered. He quickly hugged his fist and bowed and said, "The general is really killing the students! The students are not talented. It is already lucky for the third life to be so favored by the general! I only hate that students are not good at learning. The general doesn't have to be so polite to the students at all!"
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "After you and I talked for a long time last night, I have seen that my husband is also a person with great talent. Being able to get the effect of Mr. Xiao is lucky in my life. How can I treat him slowly? Today, after all, our army is fighting with the officers and soldiers. Let's talk about this matter later! Sir, the strength of our two armies this time is like this..."
Saying that Xiao Tianjian was no longer polite to Li Xin. He led Li Xin to the front of a simple sand table. He pointed to the various signs on the sand table and explained to Li Xin about his combat deployment against the officers and soldiers. After that, he put down the wooden stick in his hand and asked Li Xin, "What do you think it's wrong with our arrangement like this? "Is it?"
Li Xin likes to read military books and tactics since he was a child. He is not unfamiliar with the tactics of using troops. After listening to Xiao Tianjian's explanation, he is very interested in the three-dimensional combat sand table in front of him. The layout of the soldiers and horses of the two sides is clearly marked on this sand table, which makes people immediately arrange the troops of both sides. Of course, he couldn't help but be surprised, so he asked Xiao Tianjian who made this sand table.
Xiao Tianjian naturally smiled rudely and said, "To tell you the truth, this sand table is exactly the idea of me. At present, if there is a war in the army, the skilled craftsman will make a sand table according to the surrounding terrain, and then mark the situation explored by the scouts on the sand table, so that the generals of the army can see the situation of the battlefield. Of course, some people don't know the situation and miss the big thing!"
Hearing that the sand table was created by Xiao Tianjian, Li Xin admired Xiao Tianjian. He nodded and praised it repeatedly, looked around the sand table again and again. Suddenly, he asked, "As the students can see, this time the general is fighting with the officers and soldiers, and the general's troops are obviously at a disadvantage. It is more appropriate to arrange it in this way, but after all, students Without the experience of the war, I'm afraid I can't provide any advice for the general! I hope you can forgive me!
The students are a little confused. With the marshal's current arrangement, it seems that it is not as simple as just to defeat the officers and soldiers. If the students guess correctly, the marshal will put such a cavalry on the west bank of the Tiedi River in the south far away from the battlefield, and not let them get close to the battlefield. He should want to use them to annihilate the officers and soldiers. In this area, the general doesn't have many troops now. Is it so sure that he can use the troops at hand to defeat Zuo Liangyu's troops?
After listening to it, Xiao Tianjian admired Li Xin very much. To be honest, Li Xin can't be called a qualified general now. After all, although he is full of military books and strategies, it is all on paper. With his experience, he has never participated in a In the serious war, the experience should not be very rich, but even so, he can see such a deep thing in the layout of his own troops on the battle sand table. No wonder this person will leave a name in history and become the most strategic general under Li Zicheng's command. Unfortunately, Li Zicheng finally committed a crime and actually killed such a It's no wonder that he can't achieve a great career.
Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "It's not surprising that Mr. Xiao does have a plan to encircle and annihilate this officer as much as possible! As for the military strength, you don't have to worry. Although the military strength of the officers and soldiers far exceeds us on the surface, in terms of quality, we are far more than them. If you want to calculate the combat effectiveness of both sides, then you might as well calculate it by one of our army and five officers and soldiers. In this way, it is our military strength. It's an absolute advantage!"
Li Xin couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this. Although he had heard that Xing Tianjun could be said to have won many battles against the officers and soldiers, he didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to be so confident in the combat effectiveness of his generals. He would actually think that the combat effectiveness of his generals could be compared with the officers and the army. If Xiao Tianjian was not one. If the arrogant words are all true, then the combat effectiveness of Xing Tianjun is really quite terrible!
Looking at Li Xin's surprised expression, Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "Sir, don't be surprised. Xiao said so. It's not that our army's tactics are very different from that of officers and soldiers. Since our army became an army, it has attached great importance to the mutual cooperation of soldiers and generals in the army, and does not pursue personal courage, and our weapons are extremely sharp. Officials or other armies are comparable! Therefore, it is not too much for me to say so. Sir, you will naturally understand the battle situation in the future!"
After hearing this, Li Xin nodded and said, "I hope, as the general said, the students will come this time and wait! As for the suggestion, the students really can't provide much this time. If the marshal can trust the students, the students are not powerless. Please give the students a long gun. The students are willing to be strong for the marshal and rush to the front!"
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian laughed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay! If you can say this, how can Xiao not let you do what you want..."
No one in the world can become a general without a fight. Although Li Xin is very famous in history, he has no combat experience after all, and he can understand this. As soon as he comes to the army, he arrogantly points out his combat deployment, which shows that Li Xin is not a boast. He would rather not say a word and ask for experience in the army first, which also shows that this person is a talented person. For this person, Xiao Tianjian has not expected him to become his right-hand man. As long as he is willing to start from the foundation, sooner or later, he believes that Li Xin is It can stand out among the generals.
So even if Xiao Tianjian agreed to Li Xin's request, he introduced him to the generals in the army. In addition, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a set of scales for Li Xin, and asked someone to choose a whole set of exquisite weapons for him, distributed them to Li Xin, and did not give him a real job. He was only ordered to temporarily obey Li Shuanzhu's orders in the name of the council. As his staff, he was sent to the next post for training, so that some people would slander him that he had broken the rules of Xing Tianjun. It was not too late to teach him when he really grew into a general after practicing for a period of time.
The generals are also more polite to the new Li Xin, and the big guys also see that Xiao Tianjian attaches great importance to this person, so they are quite polite to Li Xin. As for Li Jinde, he has also been secretly looking at Li Xin. He secretly wonders why this scholar who looks almost white and clean as him is affected by Xiao Tian. Is Jian so important? However, when Xiao Tianjian did this, everyone had nothing to say. After all, Xiao Tianjian did not give Li Xin any real position at present, but only let him walk in the army for the time being, so everyone did not pay much attention to Li Xin. Now it was the time when they fought with Zuo Liangyu, and soon the generals turned their attention back to their eyes. Above the next battle.
For four days in a row, Xing Tianjun closed the door and did not fight. Even if Zuo Liangyu shouted and scolded outside the camp, he ignored them. Xing Tianjun behaved like this. Although Zuo Liangyu was alert, he still relaxed for a long time. In the four days, he sent people to tentatively attack several battalions of the Xing Tianjun many times. Strike, but Xing Tianjun guarded the camp, which did not show how sharp their firearms were. Although they would fire a few cannons from time to time and occasionally put a few rows of birds, it was far less terrible than the legend.
In this way, the generals under Zuo Liangyu gradually relaxed. From the beginning, they were relieved from the tension like facing a big enemy, and laughed at each other loudly that Xing Tianjun was just like this. It was not as powerful as the legend.
Although Zuo Liangyu is still skeptical, for four days in a row, he has repeatedly tried to visit Xing Tianjun, and Xing Tianjun avoided fighting, and he also sent scouts to the nearby to explore to see if Xing Tianjun had played any tricks. However, after a few days, he could not find any soldiers and horses in the ambush of the nearby Xingtian Army.
In this way, Zuo Liangyu was relieved. On the fifth day, he finally transferred the army out of the battalion and formed several attack groups outside the Xingtian Army camp. He personally led the main force, Chen Bing outside the barracks in the Xingtian Army, opening the posture of attacking the Xingtian Army's battalion.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lined up, and the momentum was really scary. At a glance, the officers and soldiers were boundless, and a small number of cavalry galloped back and forth in front of the Xingtian barracks, roaring loudly and cursing, and staring at the soldiers of the Xing Tianjun one by one, and their lungs were almost furious. If not If Xiao Tianjian strictly ordered not to fire without authorization, Huang Shengqiang almost pulled out all his cannons and bombarded these officers and soldiers hard.
These officers and soldiers can be said to be extremely arrogant outside the Xingtian army these days. When they saw that the Xingtian army was not fighting behind closed doors, they thought that the Xingtian army was really afraid of them. All day long, a group of ruffians scolded outside the Xingtian's camp, and even made extreme insults. They untied their belts and threw them at Xingtian army outside the Xingtian camp. Not to mention peeing, he didn't even know where to catch several women yesterday. He was dragged out of the Xing Tianjun by a group of ruffians, calling them a thief and humiliated in public.
These performances can be said to be the angry generals of the Xingtian Army. Some firemen couldn't help it. They almost ran to the barracks and fired at these ruffians. Later, they were ordered by the officers to retreat before they did not open fire. Today, when they saw the officers and soldiers almost went to war and made With the posture of attacking the camp with all their strength, the generals couldn't stand it any longer. They asked Xiao Tianjian to fight one after another and went out to fight Zuo Liangyu.
