Chapter 1492 Fake and not crazy
Simalun rode a shorter horse, wearing armor that craftsmen had modified overnight. Surrounded by many guards, Simalun was squeezed in the middle, and there was no chance to show his head.
Simalun, who was only thirteen years old, was underage, and he was relatively thin and could only reach the chest of an adult. When he went to war, Fu Yu arranged a chasing chariot for him, but he insisted on riding a horse, so Fu Yu could only find him a relatively smaller foal.
Simalun was unwilling to ride a car but was willing to ride a horse because in his opinion, the leading general should ride a horse, and riding a car was just a Confucian scholar. Simalun had practiced riding and shooting since childhood. Although he was a little short, his current war horses were equipped with high bridge saddles and double-sided stirrups, which had significantly improved the safety and comfort of riding. Of course, Simalun would not abandon his horse and ride a car.
Of course, Simalun would rather ride that majestic tall horse, but his body was too light to control such a horse, so he could only choose a small horse, which inevitably made Simalun feel a little regretful.
But these small things cannot affect Simalun's mood, nor will it delay his major events. As the commander of the army, Simalun has to consider too many things. After all, this is his first military experience, so he is inevitably a little busy.
Fortunately, he had a military supervisor Fu He around him, and he handled military affairs in an orderly manner, which made Sima Lun very worried and could also think about strategic matters wholeheartedly.
Before arriving in Runan, Simalun had already considered a complete set of strategic plans, and once his strategic plans were formed, he was not prepared to make changes or adjustments.
After arriving in Runan, Sima Lun contacted Wang Chang, who had already entered Pingchun, and informed Wang Chang of his attack plan in the form of a letter. When Wang Chang saw it, he was a little anxious. He repeatedly wrote to Sima Lun to cancel the original plan, cross the Huai River and join forces with him, and then attack Shouchun.
It is a way to join forces at the same time, but the key is that the efficiency is a bit low. According to the conventional fighting method, the Sima army advances steadily and takes steps forward. The Huainan army refuses to defend with danger, and the two sides fight tug-of-war. When they capture Shouchun, it must be the year of the monkey and horse month. Now the short gap in the battle situation in the north is something Sima Lun finally won. If he falls into the quagmire of the battle in Huainan, he cannot ease himself. Once Cao Liang solves the problem in the north, he will lead his troops south, and the battle situation will be in danger.
Therefore, the time left for Sima Lun in this rebellion in Huainan is not rich. If Wang Chang plays as safely as he is, he may not be able to defeat Zhuge Dan in a limited time.
That's why Sima Lun used this unconventional method to lure the enemy into battle and strive to achieve a quick battle. Sima Lun was unable to interview Wang Chang, so the two could not communicate effectively, so Sima Lun simply ignored Wang Chang's suggestions, but ordered him as his superior to do what he wanted. As for his side, he insisted on his own and went all the way to the dark.
Anyway, Simalun is the chief general of the three armies. If he can communicate with the deputy general, he must make the decision. Simalun himself has studied all the tactical details. Simalun himself holds the hand to deal with Zhuge Dan. At this time, the most taboo thing for the general is that he is hesitant and hesitant and difficult to break, and is influenced by other people's opinions. Since he has made up his mind, Simalun will never change it easily.
Sima Lun aimed directly at Xia Cai, the march was extremely fast and he walked twice the way, but at the same time he did not relax his vigilance and kept staring at the movements of the Huainan Army. Zhuge Dan gathered a large army in Anfengjin to cross the Huai River north, how could he hide Sima Lun's eyes and ears?
However, Sima Lun did not give up on the march because of the ambush from the Huainan Army before. Instead, he ordered the marching speed to quickly rush to Yingshang, and prepared for the battle.
Although Sima Lun was young, he had read military books, but he was a car. Others spent their entire lives, they probably wouldn't have the chance to see so many military books. Although some people think that studying hard is useless, at best, it is just another Zhao Kuo who talks about military affairs on paper. Then Sima Lun acted as Zhao Kuo and deliberately revealed many flaws. In this way, even Zhuge Dan, known as the old fox, would have taken the bait.
Sima Lun's purpose is actually very clear. If Zhuge Dan holds on Shouchun and leads his army to siege, he will definitely have to spend a lot of effort and energy. After years of construction, Shouchun City cannot be said to be as solid as a rock, or at least as solid as a rock. If Sima Lun does not have three to five times the strength of his troops, he will really not be able to easily capture Shouchun.
Therefore, field battles became Sima Lun's best choice. During field battles, the opportunities of both sides were equal. Without the support of the power of city defense, Zhuge Dan had no chance to win at all. He wanted to lead Zhuge Dan out of Shouchun, but did not give him sweetness or hope, could he take the bait?
Sima Lun pretended to be a battlefield novices, deliberately divided his troops and went deeper alone. He even concealed his true intentions from Wang Chang. It was not that Sima Lun did not trust Wang Chang, but that they were separated by a certain distance and needed letters to convey messages. They were now in Huainan, where they might have Zhuge Dan’s detailed works and secret spies. If these letters fell into Zhuge Dan’s hands, wouldn’t Sima Lun’s plan go bankrupt?
Sima Lun used a strategy here, that is, to be foolish and not crazy. In order to confuse Zhuge Dan, he deliberately made himself act like a arrogant playboy, without listening to any advice, arbitrarily abusive power, and insisted on doing his own way. From the eyes of outsiders, Sima Lun was like a rookie who did not understand military affairs and did not know the art of war, a typical battlefield idiot. Even people in Sima Lun who did not know the truth were deceived by Sima Lun's illusion, believing that Sima Lun had to lose in such a war.
Many people advised Simalun, asking him to stop acting so as not to be exploited by Zhuge Dan, but Simalun could not explain to everyone. If he explained at this time, wouldn't it be a mistake? Therefore, Simalun fully demonstrated his arrogant side. No matter how others persuaded him, he still did his own thing and was not moved at all.
Even the advice of Deputy Governor Wang Chang turned a deaf ear to Sima Lun, let alone other people, so Sima Lun became a unique fool in the eyes of everyone. Everyone lamented that they followed Sima Lun and didn't know where they would be buried.
