Fang Yun felt a little relieved, and at the same time he was extremely grateful for the military books in the world of strange books.
If he did not have a huge treasury of military books, real history and a large number of battle examples, he would inevitably spend a lot of time learning basic military tactics such as swift and resolute action or doing it with one go, just like ordinary military scholars. He would have to wait until he became a university scholar to learn more advanced military tactics, and only when he became a great scholar or a semi-saint could he learn the most profound military tactics.
Although the "Hide the Sky and Escape the Sea" is not a particularly powerful military tactic, its realm is much more powerful than similar psychedelic military tactics. For example, the "Seeing Flowers in the Mist" commonly used by military families is also a psychedelic tactic, but it can only form a thick fog to block the enemy, but it cannot make one's own side disappear completely, let alone transform.
There are military tactics that can make one's own side disappear completely, but only a very small number of military strategists and ordinary military scholars can do it. But now, Concealing the World Can Do It!
A powerful military tactic like killing with a borrowed knife, which uses the enemy's strength, can only be accomplished by a great scholar.
Fang Yun's current military tactics are in no way inferior to those of the great Confucian scholars in nature and realm, but are far from sufficient in terms of "quantity" such as scope, number of people affected, and duration.
If a great scholar uses the art of guessing the truth, he can create an army of more than 100,000 fake soldiers. A semi-saint can make these phantoms real. However, Fang Yun can only create fake soldiers of a few thousand people by using the art of deceiving the world. The difference is huge.
"I will also learn some useful military tactics in the future. I am afraid I need to find a good military teacher. The military tradition is stricter than Confucianism. If I intend to harm my military teacher, my military books will directly attack me! When I have a deep understanding of the military way in the future, I can teach the military tactics one by one. However, it is not appropriate to directly teach the "Thirty-Six Strategies". I should gradually publish the military tactics and military books that are not available in Shengyuan Continent by borrowing the history in the "Emperor's Canon". By then, if there is a civil war in the human race, at least no military family will dare to attack me."
Fang Yun quickly withdrew his thoughts and his eyes fell on the map in front of him.
"Although Xin Zhi is a Hanlin with rich experience, he is not the top military strategist. His military tactics cannot be tested by talent. Even if he has the power to kill, after years of training, the power of his military tactics is only comparable to my ordinary military tactics. It is far inferior to 'Secretly Crossing Chencang'. After all, Secretly Crossing Chencang was created by Han Xin."
"Although he is older, I have read a lot of history, war and military books, and my theoretical knowledge is far superior to his. I am not as good as him in actual combat, but I have also gone through many talent exercises, and I have also experienced living in a mountain of books. What's more, our three Hanlin generals are all proficient in a military strategy."
Fang Yun kept thinking. In a military confrontation like this, each side only had one chance to decide the outcome. If they were not careful and the opponent caught their weakness, they would inevitably fail completely.
Fang Yun picked up the brush and drew a circle around the barbarian tribe, a circle around Yi County, and drew a line on the enemy's grain route, marking the key points.
While Fang Yun was thinking, the scout team continued to submit various intelligence.
The barbarian tribes did not make any moves. In Yi County, Xin Zhi had already sent 10,000 troops to meet the grain team, and the number of soldiers in the city had obviously decreased.
Fang Yun circulated the information among the generals and asked them to express their opinions.
"Although the grain transport team is only guarded by 5,000 elite soldiers, it has a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians. As long as these 10,000 soldiers join the grain transport team, the two will form a powerful fighting force. Even if we attack with our entire army, as long as we can hold us back, when the 25,000 troops left behind in Yi County come out in full force and attack us from both sides, our army will definitely lose."
"Yixian County is defended by 20,000 troops. It is impossible for our army to capture it, unless you, the governor, have a powerful military strategy that can move us directly into the city."
"In fact, there is a way. We can use our entire army to attack the grain transport team. As long as we separate one army to block Yi County's rescue, we will have a chance of winning."
"If you use this method, the odds of winning or losing are fifty-fifty. Don't use it indiscriminately."
"Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. How can we have the strength to attack the barbarian tribe?"
"Should we wait and see? Change according to the changes of Xin Zhijun."
"It's possible, but it's too passive..."
Fang Yun listened to everyone's discussion. These generals could not come up with any brilliant tactics, but they could think of all aspects and provide basic ideas for their own tactics.
Fang Yun thought for an hour and finally raised his head.
The generals immediately straightened up, their breathing became rapid, their weapons and armor clattered, and the atmosphere became tense.
Fang Yun reached out and took out the tiger talisman from the table and said, "Loshan Army Jia Lan, Royal Guards Ye Ping, are you there?"
"I am here!" The two generals stood up in unison.
"You two, mobilize the troops immediately and go out of Yunshan Pass with me to attack the barbarians together. There must be no mistakes!" Fang Yun said loudly.
"We obey your orders!" A look of doubt flashed across Jia Lan and Ye Ping's faces, but they still obeyed the order and left the military tent with the other officers of the two armies to deploy troops.
Fang Yun then asked, "Are Wang Yinglu from the Mingshan Army and Su Yuankui from the Hongshan Army available?"
"I am here!" The two generals stood up.
"You two must gather your troops immediately and go out with us. However, the Mingshan Army and the Hongshan Army will move slowly towards Yi County to prevent the Xinzhi tribe and the barbarians from attacking from the front and back. There must be no mistakes!"
"We obey your orders!" The two generals also left with their subordinates.
Fang Yun looked at the officials present, most of whom were civilian officials who would not go to the battlefield, but in the end Fang Yun only left the military officer Xue Yue and the most basic people to defend Yunshan Pass, and ordered all the remaining Jinshi and Juren to go with the army.
After issuing the military order, Fang Yun stepped out of the military tent and looked up at the sky.
Ordinary people's eyes cannot withstand the bright sunlight and can only squint, but Fang Yun opened his eyes as usual. He looked up at the sky, saw a few mechanical birds, and then walked towards the training ground nonchalantly.
The army at Yunshan Pass has been assembled. Except for the soldiers guarding the pass, the entire army is here.
In the parade ground, swords and spears were everywhere, armor was bright, flags were fluttering, and a sense of heroism was echoing in the sky.
First, Fang Yun swore an oath to his troops, cursed the monsters and barbarians, and accused Xin Zhi. Then, the three Hanlin scholars wrote poems about going to war, also known as valiant poems, "Changwu".
The three rays of light formed by the "Changwu" war poems connected into one, covering all the soldiers.
Including Fang Yun, the bodies of everyone present swelled up, and they became stronger, more staminaed, and more agile.
Afterwards, the three of them wrote inspiring poems to cheer everyone up.
Then, Wang Yinglu used the military strategy of "food and grass first" to keep everyone from starving within three days. But after three days, they needed to eat a lot of food to make up for it, otherwise it would inevitably cause permanent damage to the soldiers.
Before setting off, Fang Yun gathered the main generals together, asked them to send their advisors away from the outside world, and then explained the real tactics he had planned.
After hearing this, the generals showed expressions of joy that they could hardly suppress, and their eyes were filled with deep respect.
Afterwards, Fang Yun used some military tactics against the Mingshan Army and the Hongshan Army.
Finally, the army set out.
Fang Yun led 5,000 cavalry guards and 10,000 Luoshan infantry to attack the barbarian tribe.
The Mingshan Army and the Hongshan Army, totaling 20,000 troops, marched towards Yi County where Xin Zhi was located, but their movements were relatively slow, as if they were gathering strength or waiting for something.
The mechanical bird in the sky quickly flew back to Yi County. (To be continued...)
