Emperor Xuanwu didn't want Tang's female general to win the marching chess game, not simply because he wanted to promote the three young generals because of the face of Old General Hong. More importantly, it is necessary to attract Zhou Zhiruo, an outstanding woman.
Wu Zhe could see that Emperor Xuanwu had put himself in a position not inferior to Marshal Hong since he came to Yanjun Valley.
At first, he went to the top of the military platform to accompany the emperor, and later when he had dinner, he was arranged to be the right chief next to old general Hong.
This is to highlight Wu Zhe's status. What is Emperor Xuanwu's plan
Old Marshal Hong vaguely thought of it, and so did Wu Zhe.
Emperor Xuanwu wanted to push himself out in front of everyone in the military. If there is indeed a surprise attack plan, he just wants to make himself stand out so that he can make a difference when he participates in military affairs.
The so-called military adviser not only has the ability, but also has the popularity. Before Zhuge Liang burned Bowangpo, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu didn't trust him. Even Liu Bei's seal was invited before Zhuge Liang appeared on the stage, and the army deployed clever strategies.
Emperor Xuanwu probably wanted to take part in a surprise attack and serve as a female military adviser, at least as a counselor.
It's just because the people in the military department can't accept just a rookie, let alone a woman. Even if it is a talent selected by the emperor, even if she is already famous, everyone will be polite on the surface, but in fact there will still be dissatisfaction in their hearts. This kind of psychology may cause a hidden danger.
If Emperor Xuanwu was in a hurry to make a surprise attack, he would not have time to take any military actions to gradually gain Wu Zhe's trust from the military generals. Now the demonstration of marching chess has become Wu Zhe's best opportunity to show his military master level.
Emperor Xuanwu also planned to use this military game to see if Zhou Zhiruo had military talent. Although she has demonstrated extraordinary skills in the ordinary strategizing, the military field is special after all and has yet to be tested.
However, Emperor Xuanwu also had a certain amount of confidence in her, so he secretly played a trick to make Tang female general fail.
Because if female general Tang wins, Zhou Zhiruo will win even if she goes up. It doesn't show how outstanding it is. Now that Tang's female general loses, she can boost the status of the three young generals. If Wu Zhe can defeat the combination of the three young generals, he can be set off even higher.
This will not only give the talents recommended by Old Marshal Hong a certain reputation, but also help Zhou Zhiruo stand out, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It's just that female general Tang has become a stepping stone, and there is no way around it.
Wu Zhe spread out the text box. I saw it read: "The red and yellow sides each have 20,000 shield soldiers, 15,000 spearmen, 5,000 archers, and 10,000 cavalry. The battle site is the Heihe Valley. The red side occupies the north bank, and the yellow side occupies the south bank. There are ninety days each for food, grass and supplies..."
Heihe Valley is a border area between Qi State and Wu State. It is separated by the Heihe River, and there are mountains and forests on both sides. It can be regarded as a relatively complicated area.
In the strategy game, the two sides don't need to care about who represents Qi and who represents Wu. However, since Emperor Xuanwu made a bet, it was logical for Huang Fang to occupy the south bank where Wu Kingdom was located.
Relying on the intelligence information he had seen in the past, Wu Zhe instantly constructed a three-dimensional map of the local terrain in his mind. The comparison of military power between the two sides has also basically appeared in statistical tables.
Even the opponent's possible marching route, logistics supply base, etc., formed an intuitive reaction in her mind.
"General, please order!" The orderly knelt down and asked for instructions.
Wu Zhe smiled confidently: "The whole army retreated twenty miles."
After observing the tactics of the three young generals before, Wu Zhe, like Marshal Hong, understood that the opponents were commanding a battle separately. This third game. Needless to say, it was naturally directed by a young future named Zhao Tian.
Talking about war on paper, Wu Zhe couldn't help laughing at the contingency and inevitability of history, maybe some kind of evil taste in the dark, which made this name appear in the game.
Not worried that the opponent will stick to the front line, Wu Zhe understands that this kind of young player is absolutely unwilling to win only a draw or a stalemate for a long time when the opponent's two colleagues have already won.
I gave up twenty miles of space to display, and the other party would come across the water even if they had to bite the bullet. Although it will guard against half-strikes. But attacks are inevitable.
Wu Zhe ordered: "Take only 5,000 spearmen, with willow branches hanging from the waist. Slowly force the river bank."
"Take another three thousand cavalry, tie wicker into their horsetails, and gallop along the east bank of the river..."
She began to issue orders one by one to deploy military strategies.
Outside the tent, Emperor Xuanwu and Marshal Hong listened to the report from the messengers from both sides.
Old Marshal Hong smiled and said, "Well, the red side gave up twenty li, and this is to attack it halfway."
Emperor Xuanwu laughed lightly: "This girl under my hands is a bitch. She likes to throw out bait."
"The boys under my command dare to bite hard when they see the hook. But maybe the bait will be eaten, but the fish will get off the hook."
"Oh? Willows hanging down?" Emperor Xuanwu heard the latest report.
Old Marshal Hong said: "The southerly wind blows in summer, this is using dust to fake a huge army."
"Survey the supply of food and grass." Emperor Xuanwu nodded.
Old Marshal Hong praised: "It's really rare for a woman to have such a mind, she looks like a veteran in the battlefield. But these little boys of mine, I'm afraid they won't be so easy to be fooled."
The people in the two tents were fighting wits. Emperor Xuanwu and Marshal Hong were in the middle to evaluate and make judgments on the situation of the battle. They kept sending back the latest situation of the battle through the messengers pretending to be meteor scouts.
Old Marshal Hong's young generals are indeed talented in military affairs, but in front of Wu Zhe, everything will become clouds.
At the beginning, the two sides could not distinguish between superiority and inferiority, but gradually, Wu Zhe's various tricks continued to be displayed. Especially the increasingly complex battlefield situation will turn into intricate relationship lines in people's minds.
Under the influence of various emotions of ordinary people, the performance of military capabilities will show a parabolic pattern that is getting lower and lower. But Wu Zhe's macro command is as stable as a mountain, making the most correct choice in an orderly manner.
The three young generals on the red side were gradually sweating in the tent.
It was no longer Zhao Tian who was directing alone, the three of them figured out a way together, and even put aside the arrogance of each other in the past, and joined hands to deal with Wu Zhe's strategy.
However, the irresistible trend of defeat began to gradually appear. Moreover, Wu Zhe accurately grasped the fleeting opportunities on the battlefield, and even issued tactical instructions in advance with foresight.
The three thousand yellow cavalry, who had not moved from the beginning, rushed straight to the opponent's central tent.
"Defeated!" When Marshal Hong heard the order from Wu Zhe, he slapped the table and shouted, "Hey, Your Majesty's eyes are bright! Commander Zhou's strategy is so amazing that he single-handedly defeated my opponent!" These three teenagers have extraordinary leadership talents." (To be continued...)
