In fact, this was also Yang Qing's original plan. The reason why he wrote to anger Gao Ding was to lure this guy out of his home in Qiondu, and then lure him to Anshang City to defend the city and consume the rebels' effective strength, and finally look for an opportunity to defeat him.

enemy.

This time, Gaoding led the troops, but the time was quite uncomfortable. With the autumn harvest of food, Yang Qing could march south. Without this food, he could at most move around Anshang.

Soldiers, after all, the length of the battle line, and the transportation of food and grass are critical to the success or failure of the army.

As his confidant, Yang Xi and Zhang Yi were naturally aware of Yang Qing's plan. Seeing him change his strategy now, the two of them had to consider the pros and cons of this change.

Yang Xi thought about it for a while and said: "The master wants to use the camp outside Dingjia Village to block the haute couture and buy time for the autumn harvest."

"That's right." Yang Qing nodded: "The road from Xindao to Anshang City has the slowest terrain, the flattest road, and the shortest time. It must pass through Dingjiacun. Gaoding will have tens of thousands of troops this time. I predict he will take this route.

road."

"Furthermore, Dingjia Village is also the most suitable place for defense on this road. This was the reason why we sent troops to set up a camp in Dingjia Village last time. What's more, Liu Xiuran spent these days in the Dingjia Village camp with deep trenches and high bases.

Building additional camps will be enough to help our army defend and block the enemy."

There is a hill on both sides of the main camp in Dingjiacun. Although it is not high, it is enough to be used as a place for garrisoning troops, and it is at an angle to the main camp.

Behind the camp is the Dingjia Village, and behind the village is a large mountain. Last time Li Qiucheng led the barbarian soldiers to plunder Anshan, the people in the Dingjia Village fled deep into the back mountains.

It can be seen that Dingjiacun is not only located in a strategic location, but is also surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it a good place for garrisoning troops. I wonder if the ancestors of Dingjiacun also considered military matters when they built the village here.

After Liu Yin arrived, he not only improved the camp's defenses, but also built two small villages on the hillside on the left and right sides, thus completing a fairly complete mountain defense camp.

This was also the reason why Yang Qing decided to have a battle with Couture in Dingjiacun. Everyone saw that Yang Qing explained the pros and cons so thoroughly that they all expressed their support.

"Okay, with the help of all the gentlemen, I will be more confident." Seeing that the proposal was passed, Yang Qing said his next idea: "According to the report from Qi County Magistrate, the main force of Haoding will arrive in eight or nine days.

An Shang, I don't want Gao Ding to come to us without any problems these days."

Zhang Yi understood somewhat after hearing this, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Your Majesty's intention is for our army to attack first, to defeat Gaoding's spirit first?"

"Bo Qi is still agile." Yang Qing said with a smile: "I want Feng Chong to lead the cavalry to attack first, harass and destroy Gao Ding before his troops arrive at Dingjia Village. If they win, they will fight. If they don't, they will run away and annihilate them.

He was alone, using the swiftness of the cavalry to conduct guerrilla warfare.”

"Guerrilla warfare?" Zhang Yi asked curiously: "This is the first time I have heard of this term."

Yang Qing explained: "Guerrilla warfare has been around since ancient times. To put it simply, we harass the enemy when he is stationed, attack when the enemy is tired, retreat when the enemy advances, and pursue when the enemy retreats."

In order to facilitate the explanation, Yang Qing directly explained the key points of the guerrilla warfare of the people's army in later generations. Perhaps not all of the four people present were familiar with military affairs, but all four of them were very knowledgeable people. After listening to these sixteen easy-to-understand words

Every word makes my eyes light up.

Jun thought that although these sixteen words sounded simple at first, but after careful consideration, he could find that these words imply military wisdom, which is really wonderful.

Zhang Yi and Yang Xi had been officials in Chengdu for a long time, and they were close friends who followed Yang Qing south to Yuexi. They knew quite a lot about his life experience, and also knew that the master of his family had studied under the master hermit.

At this moment, after hearing the key to guerrilla warfare, the two of them looked at each other and thought that this key was probably the secret of the hermit master's art of war. Yang Fujun was able to say it casually. It is conceivable that his master still has

More wonderful tactics of war.

I and other officials often follow the prince around. It is obvious that I can learn more profound knowledge from him in the future. It is right for people like me to follow this prince.

Yang Qing expected that these sixteen words of guerrilla warfare tips would probably surprise everyone. After all, this was the truth that everyone in later generations of guerrilla warfare had summarized and proven on the battlefield.

But what he didn't expect was that not only would the four of them be deeply shocked, but he would also receive a wave of heartfelt respect, making Zhang Yi and others respect him even more. Although this was beyond his expectation, it would have the fruit of civilization for future generations.

It is reasonable to rely on it.

Zhang Ni is the most knowledgeable among the four people. The more he thought about it, the more meaningful these sixteen words became. When he thought of the wonderful points, he couldn't help but praise loudly: "Wonderful, the sixteen words the master said are really important."

It’s like an enlightenment, which makes Yi suddenly enlightened.”

Yang Qing smiled and said: "These sixteen words may seem easy to do, but the requirements for soldiers are very high. They must come and go as soon as they are called. They must be united and determined, and they must have sufficient physical strength and training.

white."

"If the soldiers cannot do this, they will not be able to perfectly display the key points of guerrilla warfare, and the army will even be scattered and defeated in a single blow."

Yang Xi said: "I understand, just like what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, it should be as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as the mountain."

"What Wen Ran said is right: a sergeant can be as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. He can adapt to any form of combat, including guerrilla warfare."

"That's why I asked Feng Chong to lead the cavalry there." Yang Qing said: "After Bo Qi goes down, he must carefully explain the sixteen-character guerrilla tips to Feng Chong, and tell him to open up his mind and use multiple methods in guerrilla raids. In short,

One word will not let Haute Couture arrive comfortably."

Zhang Yi nodded, cupped his fists and said, "No."

"Dingjiacun is the first line of defense for our army, so there is no room for failure." Yang Qing added: "After Bo Qi returns, he quickly sends a thousand troops to Dingjiacun to meet Xiuran and guard the fortress with him as the main general.

."

"promise."

"By the way, we will inform him of the defensive strategy we agreed on today so that he can have an idea."

"Yes, I understand."

"As for the fortifications in the city, they have basically been completed, so you don't need to pay too much attention now." Yang Qing thought for a while, and just in case, he gave another order: "But in order to prevent any damage or defects,

After Wen Ran goes down, we will send people to patrol more."

Yang Xi said: "Yes. By the way, Mr. Fu, do you want to send those hundreds of barbarian laborers to Dingjia Village to help Xiuren build and strengthen the fortress?"

Yang Xi is talking about the hundreds of barbarian prisoners who were captured in the last war. After these people were brought back and settled, they were used as laborers to do heavy physical work such as repairing bridges, paving roads, and strengthening fortifications. This was also a punishment for their participation in the rebellion.

The crime of murder.

Although they had lost more than ten people in these days, most of the prisoners survived. Yang Qing also promised that they would be released to the tribe as long as they served five years in prison. With this hope, these barbarians settled down.

However, Yang Qing still rejected Yang Xi's proposal. After all, Dingjia Village will be the front line against the enemy in the future. If the prisoners are placed under the eyes of the barbarians, these people will inevitably have other thoughts, and then they will not
