Chapter 1246: Yang Ye’s legacy
Among the five, Ran Min, Yuwen Chengdu, Jiang Song, Gao Chong, and Jia Fu, only Ran Min and Yuwen Chengdu had met Xiang Yu. The other three had no interaction with Xiang Yu because they were born later. .
But now, the mysterious person disguised by Xiang Yu has not only aroused the curiosity of Ran Min and Yuwen Chengdu, but also aroused the interest of Gao Chong and others.
The more Xiang Yu avoided Ran Min and the other five people, the more curious Ran Min and others became about Xiang Yu's identity.
Once curiosity arises, it will be very uncomfortable if you can’t figure out why.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
Ran Min and others naturally continued to look for Xiang Yu, which also gave Xiang Yu, who was hiding in the dark, a headache.
Min and Yuwen Chengdu have fought against him. Once they communicate with him, they are likely to see through his identity, and the news that he is still alive must not be exposed.
Xiang Yu, who was hiding in the corner, saw that Ran Min and others were still looking for him everywhere, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: "It seems that I can only ask Qin Hao for help."
At this time, Xiang Yu was already vaguely regretting staying. There were almost endless powerful generals in the Qin army. In addition to Ran Min and Li Cunxiao who had not come over, Yuwen Chengdu also joined the Qin army. In addition, three newcomers, Jiang Song, Gao Chong, and Jia Fu, joined the Qin army. , are not much weaker than themselves before breaking through to the Grand Master.
Xiang Yu knew very well that his own strength had not broken through before the Grand Master, and there were actually five masters of this level in this battle. With the five of them joining forces, even if the Grand Master Xiang Yu returned to his peak state, it would not be possible. Opponent.
Xiang Yu originally thought that his arrival would be a timely help to the Qin and Jin coalition forces, but now he realizes that it is just the icing on the cake. This battle is actually about the same without him, but if he takes the initiative to appear in front of his former opponent, he is very likely to give him a Expose the news that he is not dead.
Since everyone has arrived, Xiang Yu will definitely not regret it. The most important thing now is to deal with the difficulties in front of him, and now only Qin Hao can help him overcome the difficulties.
Ningxia City, the Prefect’s Mansion.
Qin Hao, Wang Meng, Xi Zhicai, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen were discussing the Battle of Hetao, and the topic of the discussion was Yang Ye's legacy.
Wang Meng explained Yang Ye's legacy in detail. After listening to it, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh that human potential is indeed endless.
Yang Ye was born as a war general, and his military style belonged to the martial arts school, rather than the war planners such as Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng. However, the legacy he laid out before his death made the war planners such as Wang Meng and Zhuge Liang marvel.
The martial arts faction emphasizes on defeating all methods with one force and constantly improving the combat effectiveness of the army. As long as they are strong enough, they are not afraid of any conspiracy and can defeat their opponents openly and openly.
The war faction pays attention to winning by cleverness, using large and small strategies to continuously weaken and attack the enemy, while reducing its own casualties, and finally defeats the opponent by accumulating a small amount into a large number.
The martial arts school and the war planning school are two completely different styles of military use. Generals who are born as military generals are generally from the martial arts school, while most Confucian generals who are born as literati are from the war school. There is no distinction between the two. But if you want to truly achieve the level of a top military commander, you must integrate the two styles of martial arts and strategic warfare.
Yang Ye’s layout before his death was not without its subtlety, but Qin Hao, Wang Meng, and Zhuge Liang all felt sorry for Yang Ye, because the battle situation in Hetao was constantly changing.
At the beginning of the war, when the Yuan and Mongolian armies only numbered 270,000, Yang Ye’s strategy was naturally applicable.
But later Temujin increased his troops to 400,000, and it was not appropriate to continue to follow the strategy laid out by Yang Ye during his lifetime. Today's Battle of Hetao has risen to the level of a battle for national destiny between Yuan and Meng and Qin and Jin. Both sides gritted their teeth and tried their best to increase their troops. However, Yang Ye's arrangement in the early stages of the war naturally appeared to be full of flaws.
“Three military advisors, it’s really hard for you.” Qin Hao said seriously,
There were many flaws in Yang Ye's legacy. Yang Ye had no time and efforts to perfect them, and this arduous task fell on Wang Meng.
Fortunately, Wang Meng and Xi Zhicai tried their best to fill the loopholes for Yang Ye, and later Zhuge Liang was added. Otherwise, Yang Ye's legacy might have been stillborn in the early stages of the war.
“Commander Yang Ye, in order to defeat Yuanmeng and Temujin, he did not hesitate to use his own life as bait. We are just perfecting his plan.”
With that said, Wang Meng took out a half-human-high blueprint and said in a deep voice: "The night before the fall of Zhenbeiguan, Governor Yang Ye asked Yang Qilang to break out overnight, and it was this blueprint that was escorted back."
Qin Hao and Liu Bowen looked at the drawing at the same time, and saw that the drawing was the topographic map of Zhenbeiguan, clearly depicting the panoramic view of the entire Zhenbeiguan.
“Zhenbeiguan was built under the personal supervision of Governor Yang Ye. No one knows everything about Zhenbeiguan better than him.
On the surface, the only way to capture Zhenbeiguan is to attack it by force. There are almost no loopholes in its defensive layout. However, due to the terrain, Zhenbeiguan had a fatal flaw at the beginning of its construction. "
At this point, Wang Meng pointed to a point on the drawing and said in a deep voice: "This flaw will not be exposed normally, but when Zhenbeiguan faces an attack from two sides, it will be exposed to the maximum extent."
"So when Murong Ke was about to arrive at Zhenbeiguan and was about to attack Temujin from both sides, General Yang Ye took the initiative to abandon Zhenbeiguan. In fact, it was to protect this flaw from being discovered by Temujin?" Qin Hao looked surprised. asked.
“That’s right.”
Wang Meng nodded and said: "Captain Yang Ye knew that Zhenbeiguan would definitely be lost, so he risked his life to set up this situation. It's a pity that he underestimated Temujin's determination to seize the Hetao.
Now two-thirds of the troops in Yuan and Mongolia have gathered in Hetao. In such a decisive battle with a million-strong army, the original strategy can no longer play such a big role. "
Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. The situation that Yang Ye had laid out at the expense of his life was destined to not play its due role. This result was really hard to accept.
But war is so cruel, and it does not mean that after you pay something, you will definitely get something in return.
"The strategy formulated by Governor Yang Ye at the beginning of the war will definitely not be implemented at present. However, after the combined efforts of Commander Xi, Military Advisor Zhuge and I, we revised Governor Yang Ye's plan and came up with a brand new plan... "
When Wang Meng said this, a guard in black suddenly broke in, ran to Zhuge Liang and whispered something in Zhuge Liang's ear. Then Zhuge Liang's face changed drastically, and then he walked to Qin Hao and whispered something in his ear. After that, Qin Hao's expression also changed drastically.
“Fellow strategists, today’s meeting is over. Let’s continue the discussion next time and adjourn.”
