After World War I, Liu Kuang kept changing his tactics.
The spies sent by Gu Huaijiang came back one after another, and the news they sent back was nothing more than Liu Kuang's dispatch of troops to Weizhou and Changchuan.
At first, everyone thought that Liu Kuang wanted to test the weak points of the two wings of the garrison, but as more and more troops were added, they figured out that there were not many people left in the main battalion outside Zhuguan.
"General, Liu Kuang has transferred all the main forces to Weizhou and Changchuan. If this continues, there will be a battle sooner or later! Please order the deployment of troops, and send our soldiers to two reinforcements!"
"The fight hasn't started yet, what's the rush for reinforcements?"
The old god Gu Huaijiang was there, saw two black shadows swaying outside the big tent, cleared his throat slightly, "Yan Zheng, Huo Yin, come in!"
The two people whose names were called out subconsciously wanted to run away, but when they came back to their senses, the general let them in.
It's strange, if you don't drive them away, they will become Amitabha. What are you asking them to do
The two of them are self-aware, knowing that with their age and experience, they are not yet qualified to enter the big tent for discussion.
"General, what are your orders?"
Gu Huaijiang didn't mention whether to deploy troops or not, instead he looked at the two of them with a smile, "I heard from the major general that you two often go to the city these days to prepare for the long-term war to buy military rations. Is there such a thing?"
"yes!"
It turned out that I was asking about this matter, Yan Zheng relaxed, "We have counted the grain production and taxation of Zhuguan in the past three years according to the method taught by the major general. I have already discussed with the Zhuguan government. Don’t hand over the tax and rations to the imperial capital first. In case our military rations are not enough, wouldn’t it be more convenient to transfer them directly from Zhuguan and surrounding counties than to transport them all the way from the imperial capital?”
Gu Huaijiang nodded, "Then I will give you another task. Go to the city to buy moon cakes, and make sure that every soldier can eat them. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be here, so you can't treat the soldiers badly."
The two of them don't know each other, and they know each other well in the city, so this little errand is easy to handle!
Yan Zheng said happily: "Decree! This matter is on us!"
When is this, Gu Huaijiang is still in the mood to eat mooncakes
The two juniors ran out excitedly, and the generals in the tent were puzzled, "General, it is important to deploy troops now, maybe Liu Kuang will attack Weizhou and Changchuan at some point! Last time they only sent small troops to attack In the two cities, the manpower led by the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master can hardly handle it, not to mention the fact that the other party has sent more manpower this time?"
"Liu Kuang won't send more people to the two cities, don't worry."
Gu Huaijiang stood up, pointed to the topographic map on the wall, and continued to explain the deployment of the army according to the possibility of the main battlefield being at Zhuguan.
Lao Jin was the most impatient. If Gu Huaijiang didn't make it clear, he couldn't listen to the next deployment strategy, "General, how can you be sure that Liu Kuang won't send more people to the two cities? Our spies report back every time." It's all about Liu Kuang's dispatch of troops, haven't you heard?"
"I heard."
Gu Huaijiang lowered his hand from mid-air and glanced at Gu Shubai, "Talk to your uncles why Liu Kuang didn't send troops to Weizhou and Changchuan."
Gu Shubai paused, and quickly organized his words, "I think there are three reasons. First, Liu Kuang's younger sister, Liu Yinyin, died in Zhuguan. He once swore blood to avenge Liu Yinyin, and Zhuguan is important to him. The natural meaning is different."
"Secondly, military strategists pay attention to the fact that the false is the real, and the real is the false. It is precisely because the spy's report can see every move of Liu Kuang's troops very clearly, but it is suspicious. According to Yufu's reply, we were in that day. The group of snakes attacking on the bamboo mountain is exactly Liu Kuang's trap, he can prevent us from peeping on the bamboo mountain, and naturally he can use fake moves to confuse us."
Speaking of the second reason, the people in the tent already understood Gu Huaijiang's decision, but they heard Gu Shubai say: "Of course, the third reason is the most important."
Everyone pricked up their ears, listening to his third reason.
"Thirdly, in Dongling's decades-long history of resisting Xikun's aggression, Zhuguan has been repeatedly chosen as the main battlefield. Because the terrain in front of Zhuguan is open, from high to low, it slopes from Xikun to me and Dongling. Occupying the high ground has a greater chance of winning. Most importantly, the narrow valley under the Bamboo Mountain is the most suitable terrain for evacuation. As long as they retreat to the depths of the valley, we will never cross the boundary markers to their territory to hunt them down."
The third reason he mentioned is the real reason that will not change.
Of course, the terrain will not change, but the tactics of the Gu family army will change.
Yan Huashi said: "That is to say, not only Liu Kuang wants the main battlefield to be outside Zhuguan, but the general also wants the main battlefield to be outside Zhuguan, right?"
Gu Shubai smiled and nodded towards him, "I think, if Liu Kuang really wants to change the location, father will also try to let him gather the army to Zhuguan, father, am I right?"
Xikun and Dongling fought, and Dongling always had the upper hand. It was easy for Gu Huaijiang to drive the Xikun army.
Gu Huaijiang, who was being asked, raised his hand again and pointed to the topographic map on the wall, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, we are eating mooncakes while waiting for Liu Kuang to strike."
They tapped their fingers on the wall twice, and everyone looked over, and there were a lot of peaks at that position, it was Zhuguan!
