.Now Huan Qian admires Daosheng's extensive talent and knowledge.

As the master of Master Huiyuan, Lushan Donglin Temple, Daosheng did read a lot.

Daosheng has always been knowledgeable and remembered. Although he is devoted to Buddhism, he has not interrupted his studies for so many years. This time, the reason why he went to war with the army was only because the Huan family was in a strong request and it was difficult to refuse.

As people today know a fact, that is, the influence of Buddhist monks among the people cannot be ignored. A monk is sometimes even more powerful than a hundred thousand elite soldiers. Huan Xuan is in Jingzhou, and Lushan is under his rule. Huan Xuan is determined to be in the world, and of course he knows that if he can get help from Huiyuan in Lushan, he will definitely be more smooth in his future achievement of the king's hegemony.

Unfortunately, when facing Huan Xuan's invitation, Master Huiyuan refused to obey orders. He refused Huan Xuan's invitation several times on the grounds that he had vowed all living beings to worship Buddha but did not go to Mount Lu. This time, Huan Xuan sent someone up the mountain to invite him, but Huiyuan couldn't refuse, so he had to let his ** Daosheng go on his behalf.

Although Daosheng was only Huiyuan's **, he was also a rare monk. Huan's family was a little satisfied. Even Huan Qian was respectful to Daosheng. Now he was riding on a horse and clasped his fists to Daosheng and said, "The master's profound Buddhist teachings have really made us ordinary people suddenly see the vision. We talked to the master and benefited a lot."

Dao Shengsheng was humble and smiled and said he didn't dare to say that he was afraid.

"This time with the masters accompanying the army, I can listen to the master's teachings of the Dharma in front of the formation. With the master's blessings of the Dharma, our army will surely win a complete victory."

Daosheng dared not agree with Huan Qian's thinking. In fact, in his heart, although Buddhism is vast and boundless, he cannot win a battle by believing in Buddhism. Otherwise, Yao Qin would be more favored by Buddhism and has the blessing of Buddhism on both sides. So who will win and who will lose?

In fact, it is not only Yao Qin, but also the Hu people in Jiangbei believed in Buddhism much more than the Southern Dynasties. Even Fu Jian was promoted by the whole country. At that time, many famous monks gathered in Chang'an. If they were blessed with Buddhism, they could win. How could Fu Jian be defeated in the Battle of Feishui?

But of course Daosheng would not argue on this issue, and changed the topic and said: "The Hu people have hundreds of thousands of troops of tigers and wolves. I wonder how the general plans to defeat the enemy?"

Although Huan Qian was a child of a gentry, the Huan family had been in power for many years, so the Huan family must not be embroidered pillows. In fact, Huan Qian had plans to go to the expedition this time and pondered: "The Hu people are powerful and should not be attacked with force."

It can be seen that Huan Qian's words seemed to be written down. Daosheng didn't say anything and waited for him to continue.

Although Jingzhou and Shuzhong depend on each other and must send troops to rescue for their own interests, the Huan family's attitude was that they could not send troops in vain. Profits in this process were the purpose of the Huan family. Huan Qian knew, so he had a good way to retreat without losing his troops and generals. He said: "Although the Hu people have many troops this time, in order to quickly cross Bashan, it can be said that they are going deeper in the army, and the importance of supply is undoubtedly revealed. We can garrison along Bashan and cut off their food routes from behind. The Hu people will inevitably be in chaos without fighting."

Although Daosheng was profound in Buddhism, he didn't understand anything about marching and fighting. He originally thought that even if Huan Qian was good at using troops, he would use 100,000 troops to rescue Shu, even if he could win, he would inevitably have a fierce battle. But now after hearing Huan Qian's strategic arrangement, he found that he had already had a plan to not have bloodshed, and his eyes lit up: "The general is indeed a clever plan. There are mountains and ridges in the north of Shu, and it is not easy to supply. In this way, as long as we go north along the Bashan Mountains and cut off the food route of the Hu people, the Hu people will be in a panic. At that time, the Hu people have no food, and the army will disperse, and the encirclement and suppression of the Hu people will inevitably win a complete victory."

Unexpectedly, Huan Qian shook his head and said, "The master is only half right."

"Oh?" Daosheng was puzzled: "What is the general's plan to fight the enemy?"

Huan Qian smiled and said, "The first half of what the master said is true. There are steep mountains and ridges in the northern part of Shu. As long as we go north along the Bashan Mountains and cut off the food route of the Hu people, the Hu people will inevitably panic."

"Then what?" Daosheng asked.

"Then? This plan has been completed here, where will it come?"

"It's over to cut off the food route?" Daosheng was even more confused. Although he was a monk, he also knew that cutting off the food route was just to eliminate the enemy's living power: "At this time, the Hu people will definitely not be able to fly, but the general only cuts off the food route, and the Hu people will inevitably break out. If the Hu people's soldiers escaped Bashan, wouldn't there be endless troubles?"

Huan Qian smiled and said, "Not only that, I will leave a way out on Bashan at that time to let the Hu people retreat north of Bashan. At that time, ** in Shu may be blocked and killed later, but this has nothing to do with my Jingzhou soldiers."

Daosheng was a Buddhist monk, and of course he didn't know how to make a powerful plan. He asked: "Since the general sent troops to help Shu, why didn't he help the whole thing to eliminate future troubles?"

Huan Qian asked replies without answering: "If there are no mice in this world, then what's the point of having a cat?"

Dao was stunned.

"The so-called birds are gone, and good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys are cooked." Huan Qian continued to explain: "The same is true for cats and mice. If there are no more mice in this world, who would be willing to raise cats?"

After hearing what Huan Qian said, Daosheng had a little understanding: "The general's meaning..."

"If there is no pressure from the Hu people in the north of Shuzhong, how can our Huan family's power penetrate into Shuzhong?" Huan Qian asked with a smile: "Master, can we know why our Huan family can occupy Jingzhou for decades?"

Daosheng shook his head and Huan Qian explained: "The reason why our Huan family can occupy Jingzhou is simply because there is a threat from the Hu people in Jiangbei. If there were no Hu people, what would the court use to strengthen our Jingzhou soldiers? How could our Huan family grow as strong as they are now?"

After hearing these words, Daosheng suddenly became enlightened.

"So, at some point, if the enemy is eliminated, it is actually cutting off one's roots; on the other hand, only by raising the enemy can one respect oneself, and the power of our Jingzhou can continue to grow."

Although Daosheng was profound in Buddhism, when he was intrigued, he lamented that his intelligence was far inferior to Huan Qian, and he could not even compare with Huan Qian, let alone Huan Xuan.

Huan Qian smiled and said, "Just before we sent troops to fight against Hu, my brother Huan Heng had already entered Shu as soon as possible. As long as the threat from the Hu people in the north was not eliminated, our Huan family would definitely be able to infiltrate Shu. The situation in Shu in the future will inevitably be under the control of our Huan family."

It is said that the Huan family has always been tolerant and has great plans, but now it seems that they have the skills of power and plot. Daosheng's heart theory.

…

…

At this time, Yao Qin's army was still involved by Du Ximing on the banks of the Tang River.

Yao Shuode originally intended to ambush the reinforcements who went to rescue Pingwu here, but he did not expect that the other party would realize his intention first and deal with him based on the steep mountains and ridges in Shu.

Although Du Ximing had not many troops, only the 5,000 new troops brought by the Yuan Jiankang and the 10,000 refugees recently recruited, Du Ximing was good at leading troops, was familiar with military tactics, and fought and retreated. He fought guerrillas with the Yao Qin army in the mountains. Although Yao Qin had many troops, he could never encircle and annihilate them.

Yao Shuode can be said to be Yao Qin's most outstanding military strategist. This is not a false statement. At that time, the north was in chaos and there were many regimes. When Yao Qin attacked each other, he was indispensable to his current power. Yao Shuode had many years of fighting in the south and north. He had made many contributions to Yao Qin.

But no matter how powerful a person is, he will be able to get a look. Now, he has not discovered that the men and horses before Shijiang are just Du Ximing's bluffing tricks.

Although Du Ximing had only 15,000 troops, he ordered that every time he buried a pot and cooked rice, he would make the number of stoves several times more than the actual needs. He often asked soldiers to deliberately raise sand and dust in the mountains, making the distance mistakenly think that there was an illusion of a large army dispatch in the mountains. He also divided the troops into the mountains, and the drums were loud at night, so that Yao Qin's soldiers could not rest at night, for fear that a large army would come to rob the camp at any time.

Du Ximing was wandering around the mountains. In the past few days, Yao Shuode had no chance to confront the Jin army head-on. He had never understood the reality of the Jin army, nor did he know whether it was the enemy's plan. He knew the military tactics and did not dare to advance rashly, so he had to wait for the battle and planned to respond to changes in the same way as he remained unchanged.

Until Lu Hao was defeated and fled back before Pingwu City and the remaining soldiers met with Yao Shuode's army, Yao Shuode knew that he had been trapped.

Lu Hao knew that the army was defeated, so he took the initiative to apologize to Yao Shuode. Even Yao Shuode himself accidentally caught the trick of the Jin people, and he couldn't punish Lu Hao, but he just said furiously: "The Southern people are indeed cunning."

Little do people know that the soldiers are treacherous. Why don’t the people who were defeated by him say that Yao Shuode is cunning and versatile?

In a rage, although Yao Shuode did not suffer much, the tens of thousands of troops under former general Lu Hao were somewhat damaged, but he led his troops to fight for many years and was invincible. When did he suffer such a secret loss? He had already secretly swore in his heart that he would avenge his previous shame!

Before Yao Shuode could give orders, the military advisor beside him finally pondered and said, "General, please calm down. Now we are alone and it is difficult to walk up the Bashan Mountains. If the food route is cut off again..."

The military advisor did not finish his words, but the implication was obvious, and even Yao Shuode couldn't help but be shocked!

Yao Shuode has made many achievements in combat, but these are not hypes. He led his troops to fight for many years and appointed himself as the opponent's general. At this time, he had already lifted the siege of Pingwu. Faced with the 300,000 troops alone and separated by the natural danger of Bashan, he would inevitably cut off his food route, so that he could win without fighting.

Although Yao Shuode was frightened, he was led by troops for many years and was teased and applauded by others like a child. He couldn't swallow his anger. After thinking for a while, he said, "The art of war is that those who are good at using troops will no longer be registered and their food will be used for less than three years. They will be used for the country, and the food will be used for the enemy. Our army has not suffered any losses now. If we return without success, wouldn't we lose all our energy? If the enemy wants to cut off our food route, why don't I support the war with the enemy?"

What Yao Shuode said is from Sun Tzu's Art of War. The general meaning is that people who are good at using troops will not collect troops twice and military rations will not be transported three times. Weapons and equipment can be brought from the country, but food and grass should be seized from the enemy as much as possible. This is the judgment of Sun Tzu's Art of War to support warfare in the War Chapter.

When fighting, the issue of logistics supply must be guaranteed. The supply of food and grass is crucial. In many famous battles in history, the party that failed was the loss of food and grass.

Seeing that Yao Shuode had made up his mind and wanted to fight with the enemy for food, the military advisor had to ask: "Does the general want to attack Pingwu back?"

Yao Shuode shook his head: "Now that the enemy has just lifted the siege of Pingwu, we must be more careful in the defense. It is not worth the loss to fight Pingwu. Our army is mostly cavalry, so we should try to let the Jin ** army go to the plain to fight with me."

The military advisor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With a city to defend, how could the enemy give up the reasonable terrain and go to the plain to fight our army?"

"The art of war says that those who must take attack and must take attack, attack where they are not defended." Yao Shuode smiled slightly. This sentence also comes from Sun Tzu's art of war, which means that if you want to attack and must take, you must attack where the enemy is not defended. A moment later, Yao Shuode continued: "The art of war also says that, so I want to fight. Even if the enemy has high bases and deep ditches, those who have to fight with me will be rescued when they attack."

"Where will the general attack?"

Yao Shuode spread out the map, pointed to one of them, and said firmly: "Chengdu!"
