Gu Shubai walked to her side and watched her scribble a formation on the paper.
This is a strange formation that Gu Shubai rarely sees, but he thought of the answer at the moment Yufu started writing.
"Goose-shaped formation?"
"right."
The picture shows a type of herringbone formation, with two wings spread out, centered on the frontmost point, and the teams are arranged backwards.
Gu Shubai said: "The goose-shaped formations are used to outflank the roundabout formations. There are two types, one is a straight goose, and the other is an inverted goose. The one you drew is a straight goose, but what does it have to do with the battle against Sangyi? Their boats are not as strong as theirs, and even if we outflank them, it won’t hurt their lives.”
This type of formation is rarely used because of insufficient attack power and flaws in defense.
Yufu smiled and said: "Who said we are going to use this formation? Look, does this formation look like the arrangement of the Sangyi fleet?"
Gu Shubai paused, and he looked closely at it as expected.
Last time, the military newspaper that Kun Yuyang passed back to Beijing mentioned that what they had robbed were the two large ships at the end of the left wing. By the way, they mentioned the formation of the entire fleet, but Yufu didn't expect Yufu to notice such small details.
She supported her chin with a pen, "When I was young in the Immortal Valley, I found it very strange to see big geese flying south in that shape. I asked Master, and Master said that the big geese can save effort to fly like this. If you flap your wings, it will cause a cyclone, which can be easily followed by older or young geese. It is this method that the geese fly from far north to south."
Gu Shubai thought for a moment, "In the art of war, the geese formation has no such effect. The reason why we see the geese formation is just because the arrangement of the graphics is roughly similar... I understand, the cyclone caused by the geese flying in the sky It can also be caused in sea waves, which is different from that on land."
"I think so."
Yufu lifted his pen and drew two circles on the left wing of the herringbone, "The two ships have been blown up by Yu Yang. If they want to re-mobilize ships from Sangyi to reinforce them, it will take a lot of time. In order to maintain the formation. They will definitely transfer a boat from the right wing."
"But in this way, the entire formation seems unchanged, but in fact the two wings have been reduced. The two ships may not think so, but if we can destroy more of them, we will destroy the entire fleet formation and shrink. Their combat effectiveness."
The two looked at each other, and they had a tacit understanding with each other.
Since it is not possible to build the same ship for the time being, and if you snatch it, you can't keep it, so destroy it first, and it can be delayed for a while.
The battlefield changes rapidly, as long as they can delay the opponent's footsteps, they have the opportunity to wait until the time.
Gu Shubai pointed to the gap in the herringbone and said: "The biggest weakness of this geese formation is that the rear is weak and easy to be attacked. When using it, you must ensure that there are no reinforcements behind, otherwise this formation will be self-defeating. "
The rear is weak.
Yufu stared at the position of his fingers, raised his head and said: "But our troops can protect the people on the shore, it is already very difficult, how can we go around behind them to attack?"
"I have a way, it's worth trying."
In the early morning of the next day, Yufu dressed up in splendid clothes, and his face under the powdery powder was particularly bright.
Chaotang suddenly added a bit of aliveness, and the officials looked at the woman in Chinese clothes who commanded Ruo Ding, and their anxious hearts gradually calmed down.
Yufu smiled at the corners of his lips. "There is good news to tell the public. Kunwushang has developed a medicine that can help us learn the language of the Sangyi people and mix in them to inquire about the news. You can also learn their shipbuilding skills. , It just takes some time."
This is really good news!
"It's really great, we don't know anything about the Sangyi people's language, but they know us well! If we can also learn their language, then we can know ourselves and the enemy!"
"Yeah, before even the spies could not be inserted, it can finally change the one-sided situation."
The group of officials reacted to Yufu's expectation. She took advantage of the situation and said: "One more thing, I want to send an envoy to Goryeo to give a gift, and Chen Qing will go personally."
She looked down at Chen Jingxing, who was slightly taken aback.
The courtiers were also puzzled. When the war was stalemate, they should pay attention to what the barren country of Korea was doing
Chen Jingxing went out and said: "Your Majesty, Goryeo has always been a small country affiliated to the Great Zhou. Years after years of paying tribute in exchange for rewards for living. Unlike the Sangyi country, the people of Goryeo Dingbuxing have a barren land and there is really nothing to see. Why is your Majesty this? Time to send officials to Goryeo?"
Chen Jingxing, as the magistrate of Hongyou Temple, a dignified second-rank official, it is enough to let him go to the former big countries such as Xikun and Dongling. Why should he go to a small country affiliated to Korea in person
Yufu smiled and said: "I know how barren Goryeo is, so naturally I didn't expect them to help us in the war. I just want to use their port to break the geese formation of the Sangyi fleet."
As soon as the three words "Yan Xing Zhen" came out, the generals present almost understood it.
This is an extremely simple formation in the art of war, but every general knows its arrangement and also knows that the weakest part of this formation is in the rear.
If you want to use it, you must make sure that there are no chasing soldiers behind you.
If you want to crack the opponent's formation, the best way is to bypass the rear attack.
Ouyang Qi suddenly understood: "Your Majesty wants to send troops from the port of Goryeo to attack the rear of the Sangyi fleet?"
Yufu nodded and said: "This is the only way at the moment. I know that our ships are not as good as theirs. Even if we make a detour to the rear, they may not be able to completely defeat them. But as long as the formation of the fleet is destroyed, their spirit can be dampened. Respite. Things like the massacre of hundreds of fishermen can never happen again."
The civil servants didn't understand the geese formation. They knew that this was a good way only by looking at the expressions of the generals. Ouyang Qi and Gu Shubai both agreed, and they naturally had no opinion.
The Ministry of Rites prepared a generous gift, and Chen Jingxing set off for the north three days later.
At the same time, the fighting in the coastal cities has not stopped. Most of the manpower and material resources in the central government are almost exhausted by the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of War. Boxes of artillery are pulled out from the artillery workshop, and then carefully sent to the east.
The shipyard is even more active day and night. The craftsmen work hard to improve ships that are more suitable for combat. At the same time, they continue to study the few unclear blueprints they had originally obtained from the Sangyi people, trying to find some clues.
The money from the national treasury moved out like water, forged artillery, made ships, paid for the soldiers and the families of the people who died, and allocated funds so that the fishermen who could not go out to fish because of the war could make a living...
If the war does not stop, the internal friction will never stop.
Although Yufu cheered up, everyone was worried that her heart was frustrated, so they often invited her out of the palace to play.
When she goes to Gu’s family, she can always forget about the court affairs. In addition, Yuan Zhang, this cute baby doll, and Kun Yuyang's Ning'an and Ningping, who are fostered by Gu’s family, are enough for her to make troubles that she can’t think of other things. .
Gu Huaijiang is very old and likes children and grandchildren around his knees the most. Ning An and Ning Ping are the adopted sons of Yufu, and he is also half of his grandsons, so he naturally likes them too.
"Goddamn, who do you guess I am?"
"Goddamn, who am I?"
Ning An and Ning Ping like to play this game the most. They are twins. Everyone in the Gu family can't tell who they are, and they make a lot of jokes.
Gu Huaijiang sat in the pavilion watching them play, "When they were young, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi did the same. Relying on the fact that the two brothers look the same, they like to pretend to be each other to deceive others."
Now that the Gu family has another pair of twins, he will think of Gu Xiang and Gu Yi when he looks at it.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were sitting around drinking tea, they couldn't help but blush when they heard Gu Huaijiang's words, "How can we have them so naive?"
Yufu glanced at them, "I testified and my father didn't lie. When I first came to Guhou Mansion, didn't you often cheat me like this? Fortunately, I am smart and have never been deceived by you."
After hearing Yufu's words, Su Yunyan put down the tea cup with a guilty conscience.
Yu Fu can distinguish Gu Xiang and Gu Yi as soon as she arrives at Guhou Mansion, and she has been with Gu Xiang and Gu Yi since she was a child, and can't completely tell who is who they are until they get married.
Doesn't it seem that she is stupid
Ning An and Ning Ping were still in front of Yufu. Yufu only took a look and nodded the head of the child on the left, "You are Ning'an."
Nodding the head of the child on the right again, "You are Ninh Binh."
"Guessed wrong, Ganniang guessed wrong!"
The two children's eyes turned grunting, and the sly expression between their eyebrows resembled Ning Xuan.
Everyone looked at them, and Yufu smiled and said, "It's not a good boy who lied. I didn't guess wrong. I still want to lie?"
The two children opened their eyes in surprise, "How did the godmother guess it? Mother can't guess it!"
It's not happy to mention Kun Yuyang's two children, one pouting and the other staring. Kun Yuyang always ran to fight and rarely accompanied them.
Yufu didn't laugh, and the two children pulled her sleeves, "Gianniang Ganniang, how did you guess it?"
Yufu was so dizzy as they rubbed him, and said hurriedly, "It's all right, just tell you."
After that, they brought the two of them upright like ceramic dolls, and said meticulously: "Ning An is an elder brother, although he is also naughty, but when he is naughty, he always subconsciously takes care of his younger brother."
Ning An subconsciously glanced at Ning Ping when he heard these words. After reading it, he realized that he had been said accurately by the goddess, and he was a little discouraged.
Ning Ping was not convinced: "I often look at my brother too."
Yufu said, "Ning Ping is a younger brother. When he is naughty, he always looks at his elder brother subconsciously, just to see how he behaves. These two kinds of eyes are different, I can tell at a glance."
She didn't say that everyone didn't think it was. When she said it, the more people looked at it, the more they felt right.
Gu Yi couldn't help but curiously said, "Yufu, how about Gu Xiang and I? How did you separate me and Gu Xiang?"
Yufu glanced at Gu Huaijiang, and smiled without saying a word.
Gu Huaijiang also laughed without saying a word. The two of them didn't know what dumb riddles they played, which made Gu Xiang curious.
Gu Yi couldn't help it more and more, "How exactly are they divided? I'm telling us to listen to them. I'm so anxious to death!"
Neither of them said, Gu Yi looked after Gu Shubai, "Big Brother, Big Brother, you are the best, how do you tell me and Gu Xiang?"
Gu Shubai was tasting tea. He grabbed his arm unexpectedly and almost spilled the tea on the ground. "Okay, let it go, I'll tell you."
Gu Yi honestly let go,
Gu Shubai raised his eyebrows to look at him, "Do you still use subdivision? Ning An and Ning Ping are young, and they are as naughty and hard to distinguish each other. You and Gu Xiang are naughty. You can tell who is Gu as long as you see who is obedient. Look?"
Gu Yi: "..."
He seemed to ask a self-infuriating question.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and even Su Yunyan covered his mouth and smiled, "It seems that this is the case. Gu Yi bullied me when he was a child and planted it on Gu Xiang, but everyone knows that Gu Yi will bully people, hahaha."
Gu Yi glared at her with anger, but didn't dare to speak about her, so he could only swallow the words back.
Yin Jizheng walked in from outside the courtyard holding her baby, "What are you talking about so happy?"
"Won Zhang wakes up from sleep?"
When everyone saw her holding Yuanzhang, their eyes turned towards her for a moment. Yuanzhang was still a babbled milk doll, his eyes rolled in the crowd, and he stopped on Yufu's body.
Yufu stretched out his hand toward him, Yuan Zhang also stretched out his hand to ask her to hold him, and chuckles as soon as he embraced him.
Yin Jizheng smiled and said, "Yuan Zhang likes you very much. He gets angry every time he just gets up, and he won't let anyone but me hold him. Only when he sees you, he takes the initiative to hold him, which shows how much he likes you."
Yufu hugged Yuanzhang and coaxed softly, and said: "I like Yuanzhang too, holding his soft body, as if there are no troubles."
"Goddamn, what about me!"
"Then what about me, what about me!"
Ning An and Ning Ping were unhappy when they heard this, and they bounced around in front of Yufu as if they wanted her to hold them.
Wherever he could hold the three children alone, Yufu hurriedly avoided.
Gu Shubai raised his hand and picked them up on the left and right sides. "The man who can walk is already a man. Don't clamor for an adult to hug, you know?"
The three-character masculine is still a bit strange to young children, but it sounds like a very attractive and good word.
Ning An and Ning Ping immediately became honest, "Are we men?"
"right."
"Then we grow up and go to the battlefield like the mother? The mother said that the man wants to defend his family and the country."
The word "Battlefield" made the atmosphere stagnate for a while, and Gu Shubai looked at Yufu, but Yufu didn't say anything, but the smile gradually converged.
"His Majesty."
Suddenly someone from the palace came to report the letter outside the pavilion. Yin Jizheng stepped forward to take Yuanzhang, and Yufu said to Gu Huaijiang: "Father, I'll go out."
Gu Huaijiang nodded and watched Yufu walk towards the palace man, and said as he walked out, "What happened?"
The palace man gave a document, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Lord Chen that Goryeo just returned. Lord Chen is in trouble. King Goryeo learned of the war between Beili and Sangyi, and wanted not to guilty, but refused to hold the port. Lend it to us. Master Chen sent a letter back asking your Majesty, what should I do?"
"None of the two sins?"
After reading the letter, Yufu Cao Cao sneered, "Koryo's position is sandwiched between Beili and Sangyi, but the king of Korea has forgotten that they are my subject of Beili? How much benefit has been gained before the people can be safe, Want to back down when encountering our difficulties now?"
The palace man thought about her tone, and tentatively said: "What does your majesty mean..."
Yufudao: "The one-response policy after my ascension to the throne seems to be too gentle, which has caused small affiliated countries like Goryeo to dare to disobey the ruler. Let the Imperial Academy enact an order for the King of Goryeo. Send an army to suppress the border, never be merciless!"
The palace man was frightened by her fierce tone, and hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, the servant will do it now."
Yufu looked at his hurriedly leaving back, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time he turned around, cleaned up his expression and walked into the pavilion.
She can't use this expression to face the people in the Gu family, as well as the children.
Turning around, she saw Gu Shubai standing behind her.
Yufu was taken aback, wondering how long he had stood behind, whether he had heard his harsh and ruthless words just now.
She moved her lips, trying to explain something, but felt that all the explanations were superfluous.
The only thing she confirmed was that she didn't say the words of the army's pressure on the spur of the moment. Sending troops from the port of Goryeo to raid the rear of the Sangyi fleet is currently the only method that cannot be rejected by the King of Goryeo.
She will not tolerate anyone who wants to stop her from winning this battle!
Gu Shubai smiled at her, her smile still warm, "Yufu, you don't have to worry about me anytime, no matter what you do, I understand you and support you."
Yufu paused, and a sour mood surged into his heart, and finally turned into speechless, just staring at him deeply.
There is no need to explain between them.
When one day even she feels that she has changed, he will always stand behind her and give her care and support.
As long as there is him back, she feels like—
omnipotent.

I checked a lot of information on the knowledge of the geese formation, and it should probably be correct. It is indeed a relatively simple formation in ancient times~
However, there are many things that seem simpler. They seem simple and focus on coordinating smartness. As for what Zhuge Bagua Array is complicated, I really didn’t understand it for a while, and I will learn later when I have time. Alright~
