Chapter 1180 The enemy is at Honnoji Temple

"My name is Xu Zhong, don't dare offend your ears!" the guard commander responded. He calls himself a name, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, his words are frank, and he has the demeanor of a gentleman.

Wu Yi didn't mind explaining more about the people he liked, saying: "Besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, although in the history books, is to besiege the enemy's capital so that the enemy has to save it, and the siege will be relieved. These You should know."

Xu Zhong nodded and waited for Wu Yi to elaborate.

"This strategy turns passivity into initiative, making the enemy exhausted, and finally chooses a battlefield that is beneficial to oneself, waiting for work. What is really important is not whether to besiege the opponent's capital, but to capture the target, which is something that the opponent has to save, such as Cutting off the opponent's food channels and burning the opponent's food can also force the enemy to turn around and save food! "

Xu Zhong nodded in understanding and asked, "So, sir, are we going to burn the other party's food and grass?"

Wu Yi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "If you were an enemy general, under what circumstances would you give up the duck in front of you and turn around to save the situation?"

Xu Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Please let me know clearly!"

Wu Yi said: "Don't worry, you still have a lot of time to think about the high mountains and dense forests in Hengchuan Mountains. When you feel you have understood something, you can come and talk to me again!"

Xu Zhong didn't understand what Wu Yi's true intentions were. Could it be that he was worried about leaking military information? After all, as a marshal since ancient times, the most important thing was to ensure that the strategy was not obvious and that the information channels were unobstructed.

Wu Yi smiled lightly and did not explain too much, leaving him to think on his own.

In fact, to answer this question, the content to be considered is much broader. If Xu Zhong does not know much about the situation of the Eastern Army and these small countries, he is destined to be unable to understand. Since he cannot understand, Wu Yi Even if you tell him, he may not understand.

From Wu Yi's previous answers, if Xu Zhong was more careful, he could actually understand Wu Yi's strategic goals.

Although what King Yong wanted was to retreat from the enemy, for Wu Yi, retreating from the enemy was only the basic goal. When the enemy retreated, ambush along the way and save the situation was Wu Yi's real purpose.

Throwing away burned vegetables is not your skill, but using burnt vegetables to develop new dishes is your skill. How could Wu Yi let go of this great opportunity so easily.

There are great upheavals, great changes, and the ups and downs of luck and calamity. Only in this process can the inner demon body, and of course the human body, be able to achieve the greatest gains.

First, the Daji Dynasty was aggressive and had a tendency to unify the east in one fell swoop. Then the inner demon intervened and the situation took a turn for the worse. Wen Conglong was almost wiped out, and the situation in the small country improved.

But now, the human body appears on the battlefield to change the situation of the war again. Whether his luck rises or falls, it is all under Wu Yi's control. Using all living beings as chess pieces and the heaven and earth as a chessboard is nothing better than this.

However, when you regard other people as pawns, you also have to worry about whether they will be backlashed one day. This is a relative process.

Going back to the previous question, for the enemy general, what exactly happens after that will make him give up annihilating Wen Conglong and choose to turn around and defend instead.

Don't worry about the Daji Dynasty's revenge. In fact, the weaker you are, the stronger the Daji Dynasty's ambition to annex you. On the contrary, only when you show enough strength can you win real respect.

After annihilating all Wen Conglong, if someone wants to raise troops to invade again in the future, they will have to reconsider it. In one battle, peace can be preserved for at least half a century. The benefits are too great. What else can be better than this? Is it important?

Naturally, if Wu Yi can threaten the safety of the capitals of these small countries and the capitals will fall, it is possible.

However, as Xu Zhong said, with this small force, it is basically impossible to break through the enemy's capital unless a surprise attack is made and fishing in troubled waters. However, Wen Conglong's side is becoming more dangerous every day, and the risk of being wiped out is increasing day by day.

Wu Yi couldn't afford it. In addition, these small countries were only able to piece together an army of 70,000 because of a multinational coalition. It is of little use to threaten a certain country. At most, it will only make the country's troops withdraw from the battle. .

Therefore, the reason for withdrawing troops must be the reason why all small countries have to withdraw troops, rather than the reason of a certain small country itself.

Is there anything that would make all small countries wary and worried? Of course there is. What Wu Yi is planning to do this time is to shake the foundation of these small countries.

The foundation of their country is actually two words - Eastern Army!

Because the Eastern Army wanted to maintain its organizational structure and continue to collect military expenses from the imperial court, it deliberately allowed these small countries to establish their own countries, and even allowed some of their nephews and nephews with private blood to establish their own countries. They were as good as a pair of pants.

But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the existence of these restless small countries that the Eastern Army can continue to exist. This is a win-win situation for them.

The senior leaders of the Eastern Army originally thought that King Yong's expansion of the border was just for fun, so they took action to destroy some small countries. Later, King Yong became more ambitious and wanted to achieve the unfulfilled achievements of his ancestors, so the senior leaders of the Eastern Army came forward to suppress it.

This time Wen Conglong was in danger, and the other three armies happened to be caught in a bitter battle at the same time, unable to mobilize their troops, so that King Yong was embarrassed and sent his own guards. Do you really think it was a coincidence? too naive.

In essence, Wen Conglong was in danger this time, which was an attack by the top leaders of the Eastern Army and small countries on King Yong.

It's hard to tell whether those who blocked Wen Conglong's food were bandits or soldiers wearing bandit clothes. It's not like Wu Yi didn't know what was going on.

It was precisely because he understood this during this incident that King Yong said sadly: "But retreating the enemy means Wan'an, so how can we talk about defeating the enemy?" Being an enemy of a small country is an enemy of the Eastern Army. .

The enemy is at Honnoji Temple (Honnoji Temple, the place where Oda Nobunaga, one of the three heroes of the Warring States Period in Japan, was assassinated. Because he was assassinated by someone close to him, this proverb generally refers to the enemy within). It takes too much to manage such a huge dynasty. The emperor's compromise was the emperor's. Sometimes, he had to delegate power to local governments.

King Yong is really young to cause this danger. According to the development of the situation, if nothing unexpected happens, Wen Conglong and the 50,000 troops under his command will be completely wiped out, serving as a lesson to King Yong for what he should not have violated.

Wu Yi's arrival is like a butterfly that has flapped its wings, but whether it can eventually form a hurricane remains to be seen.
