"The winter of that year was a restless winter." This was a sentence that was later published in the "Shouzhou Business Daily". Because it was so appropriate, it became widely known and was often used as a reference. In the winter of the ninth year of Baoda in the Tang Dynasty (AD 951). This winter, because of the super war situation involving the four countries of the world, there has naturally been a strong background of restlessness; the continuous war and the ups and downs of the process have always touched the hearts of the people of the world, and have continuously added irregular changes to the background. Rhythm; when the Enyin Order and the Erchen Order personally issued by the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty were passed to the world, a rich and colorful axis was filled in this restless animation scroll. For a time, these two decrees, especially the Enyin decree, became the biggest topic on the lips of people in the Southern Tang Dynasty. At noon on November 21, in a roadside teahouse five miles outside the south gate of Yangzhou City in the Southern Tang Dynasty, a group of teagoers who were resting had a quarrel on the spot because of the order. The quarrel was caused by a scholar. He heard others loudly discussing the benefits of the Enyin Order. He pounded the table and loudly said that this order was a lie to the world and it was impossible to realize it. A businessman was the first to retort and pointed out unceremoniously that En Yin Ling had nothing to do with you scholars, you were just angry and jealous. The scholar immediately blushed and his neck became thick, and argued loudly with his fingers: "The most basic fact is that it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to allow so many people to be officials, and it is impossible for there to be so many official positions in the world. Besides, let If some illiterate common people, mud-legged people, traffickers and lackeys all become officials, the world will be in chaos." There were not many well-dressed people in this simple teahouse. After hearing the scholar's words, they all booed and jeered. The businessman became even more angry, started to protest, and counterattacked: "What's wrong with the common people, what's wrong with the mud-legged people, what's wrong with us traffickers and lackeys, we are all treated like treasures under Master Lin Fenglin. It was impossible before, but now we have Lord Lin Fenglin, it is possible. Lord Lin has just been consecrated as a first-class third-level Lord by the Holy Emperor. That is the same treatment as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the king of Qi. I went to Shouzhou to do business. Master Lin's Shouzhou will be an eye-opener for you, a toad-in-the-well scholar. I tell you, Master Lin is the literary star that God sent to the Tang Dynasty. Wherever Master Lin goes, miracles happen. , I dare to say that as long as Mr. Lin stays in our Datang, everything is possible." When he mentioned Shouzhou and Lin Feng, the scholar became even more angry and slapped the case angrily, shouting: "What a Wenquxing, how can there be so many in the world. Wen Quxing, this is pure nonsense, Lin Feng just has a good chance. " "Tsk, even if you are given the same chance, can you easily conquer a country and defeat 200,000 Zhou troops? Huh, just hold on to your brokenness. Go ahead and dream of your big head, you are a stinky, stubborn and pedantic poor scholar." The businessman threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground with disdain and sneered loudly. The scholar¡¯s ??face turned purple with anger, and he slapped the case repeatedly, but he was speechless. Hearing this, a middle-aged strong man in military uniform stood up from the innermost corner, threw a few Tongbao on the table, and went out to beat the horse. At three quarters of noon, this middle-aged man rushed to the left-behind mansion in Dongdu, announced his name as Chai Kehong, and asked to see him on the order of King Yan. Chai Kehong was quickly introduced to the study. King Yan Li Hongji personally received him at the door. He enthusiastically introduced Song Qiqiu to him in the room and forced him to sit down on the left hand side. Before the greetings were finished, a tall young captain came in. After meeting King Qi and Song Qiqiu, he saluted Chai Kehong respectfully and introduced himself as Captain Feng Dan of the Jianwu Army. Li Hongji enthusiastically pulled Feng Dan to his right hand, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Now, my right and left arms are here." Upon hearing this, Chai Kehong and Feng Dan stood up immediately, even saying they were frightened. With a smile on his face, Song Qiqiu briefly told His Royal Highness the King of Yan¡¯s previous predictions and proposed countermeasures for the war situation in Jiangbei and Huainan. The two soldiers immediately became solemn and looked at Li Hongji with extremely admiring eyes. Li Hongji shook his head, clasped his hands and laughed: "Many of them were speculated by Song Gong. I dare not pretend to take the credit. At this moment, the two tiger generals are gathered in Yangzhou, just to listen to your opinions." Chai Kehong was silent, He stood up slowly, walked to the map, and stared at it. Feng Dan pondered for a moment and then spoke first: "The general has received training under Lord Lin Fenglin and is familiar with his careful mind and long-term thinking. However, until now, there has been no sign of Shouzhou asking for help. This shows that Lord Lin must be confident in guarding Shouzhou." There must be a counterattack strategy for the state. The general will naturally agree with the views of His Royal Highness King Yan and Duke Song. First of all, in the eyes of the general, the military strength of Yangzhou under the leadership of King Yan can become a decisive force in changing the situation in Jiangbei and Huainan. , the final generalThe reason is that instead of sitting and watching now, it is better to use small teams to take turns to conduct reconnaissance and exploratory attacks. " "this,. "Li Hongyi said with some hesitation, "Father just issued an order, and King Qi also gave a strict warning that no unauthorized movement is allowed anywhere in the city, and those who disobey the order will be severely punished. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to attack at this time. "Feng Dan replied softly: "With different goals, the strategies should naturally be different. We are determined to attack now. One is to understand the enemy's actual situation on the ground so as to know ourselves and the enemy; the other, and most important, is to quickly develop the skills through actual battlefield combat. An elite army. Mr. Lin once taught us that the best way to train troops is to go to the real battlefield, and the best defense is to continuously attack. Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Yangzhou Army, have not been in war for many years. The overall physique of the entire army is also on the small side. If they come to a life-and-death battlefield and encounter the elites of the Zhou Kingdom who are taller and have been fighting outside all year round, they will already lose a point naturally. If they don't try their best to catch up, they may not be able to catch the fighters even if they see them. live. " Li Hongyi nodded slightly when he heard this, and turned his face to Chai Kehong. Chai Kehong slowly turned around from the map and said in a deep voice: "The general agrees with General Feng. If we, Yangzhou, want to win the battle by surprise, we do not have a strong attack power. It is absolutely impossible. The general is in favor of carefully selecting elites from the Yangzhou army and sending them to the borders of Haozhou and Chuzhou in batches to fight secretly to detect intelligence and train military strength. In addition, the general believes that while the elites of our army can attack by force, they can also It must be observed. Your Highness, please take a look. " The three of them, Li Hongyi, walked to the map together and watched Chai Kehong's fingers pointing heavily at the location of Shouzhou. "The last general also believes in General Feng's views on Lord Lin Fenglin, and believes that he will definitely have a strategy to defeat the enemy's main force. Dragging them under the city of Shouzhou, it is very likely that they will defeat the Zhou army and establish victory in one fell swoop. Therefore, if we want to make the final decision, our primary goal must be in Shouzhou, not in places like Haozhou and Chuzhou. "Chai Kehong said categorically. Song Qiqiu glanced at Chai Kehong, who was full of stiff beard, and his eyes flashed with unconcealed admiration. "At the most critical period, we must find the fastest way to participate in the Shouzhou battle. In the end, there will be a very risky raid plan. "Chai Kehong frowned slightly, moved his fingers on the map, and continued. "The straight-line distance from Yangzhou to Shouzhou is nearly five hundred miles, but if we go straight there, there will be many difficulties and obstacles. In the end, we will be advised to move forward by land and water. Detouring, the infantry set out early, concealing their tracks all the way, and went straight to Sizhou in the north to reconnoiter the enemy's situation in advance; the navy went north along the canal, crossed Hongze Lake, and after arriving in Sizhou, carried troops across the Huaihe River and entered In the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, they then abandoned their boats and rushed westward along the north bank of the Huaihe River to find a safe place to hide. When they detected the opportunity, they directly attacked the north bank of Shouzhou, seized the ferry, established a defensive position, or crossed the river to attack the Zhou army, or blocked the Zhou army on the spot. When the army returns to the north, the war will surely be completed. " "General Chai's idea is bold and sharp enough. "Feng Dan stared at Chai Kehong in amazement, and secretly marveled in his heart. Isn't this plan in line with the purpose of special warfare mentioned by Mr. Lin? Concentrate the elite, hit the vital point, and kill with one blow. Li Hongyi and Song Qiqiu also showed surprise. With an expression of admiration, why did Chai Kehong, who was known for his good defense in the past, come up with such a risky attack plan uncharacteristically today? Chai Kehong's face remained as usual, but his brows furrowed tighter and he whispered: "This is just a paper talk by the general. There are many factors that affect the success or failure of a plan, including the size of our troops, whether they are elite or not, how to conceal our presence along the way, the supply issues for the attacking team along the way, where to hide in enemy territory, when to attack, how to seize the ferry, and how to hold the ferry. , how to cooperate with the Shouzhou Army, if there is a problem at one point, the overall situation will be lost. " At the end of the sentence, Chai Kehong made a fist with his right hand, hit hard on the center of his left palm, raised his head and reported: "Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. Your Highness, I would like to request that all the recent military training be handed over to General Feng. Special training methods are used to train at full strength, and the last general will conduct reconnaissance along the route just now in civilian clothes to ensure the success of our surprise attack. " Li Hongyi glanced at the map several times, looked at each other with Song Qiqiu, slammed his palm on the wall, and shouted loudly: "It's always been about taking risks, so it's settled. "
