After the battle was cleared from beginning to end, it was getting dark, and the rebels set up camp on the spot.

The wartime was no different than before. The camp was much more cautious today. The camp area became more compact and no longer spread out as widely. Li Mengxi had used the car formation once, and Guan Yu thought it had merit, so he also set up a half-circle car formation to surround him when he set up camp.

Raise the entire rear army.

Li Mengxi had many questions to ask Guan Yu.

"General Guan, it seems inappropriate for our army to fake defeat in this battle?" Li Mengxi hesitated.

Looking back at that time, the morale of the Yellow Turbans was not high. They relied on forming formations to maintain their morale due to their large numbers of people.

Guan Yu looked at Li Mengxi with a smile, nodded, and said, "That's right. Although the Yellow Turbans are arrayed against me, but a closer look shows that the people in the array are hesitant and timid, which means their morale is low.

But later, our army pretended to be defeated. When the Yellow Turbans saw my defeat, their morale was as high as a rainbow, and their shouts of killing were astonishing. Xi'er, you also saw it. Ha," Guan Yu laughed at himself, "I'll use the deception later.

Defeat the law and go against the grain, which is counterproductive and helps the Yellow Turbans to boost their morale.

If the Yellow Turbans were not scattered, and if one person could restrain the Yellow Turbans and take advantage of the situation to form formations along the road when their morale is high, our army would never be able to win and would have to retreat."

"Although we are victorious this time, there is a hidden danger, so we should not do anything about it. The method of cheating defeat should not be used lightly, but should be used with caution." Guan Yu commented.

As Guan Yu said, it is unwise to cheat defeat in this battle.

The Yellow Turbans are originally an army with low morale. If they fight directly, the Yellow Turbans may not be able to hold on for long, and their morale will collapse and they will retreat.

But this was a waste of time, and they used some trick to fake defeat. The officers and soldiers here faked defeat, and the morale of the Yellow Turbans over there, which was originally low, instantly rose.

The time to fake defeat is wrong, so you add buff to the opponent.

Just like today's battle, if the discipline of the Yellow Turbans was not good, they would break up in pursuit. If the discipline of the Yellow Turbans was better, the rebels here would fake defeat, and if the Yellow Turbans generals over there had some talent, they could just raise their arms and mobilize the morale of the Yellow Turbans.

, then restrain the troops, take advantage of the strong morale, and use a surge of pressure to come over. The rebels can only temporarily avoid the edge.

In this case, it would be a huge loss.

In addition to high morale, the Yellow Turbans also have many other strategic advantages.

The Yellow Turbans advance and the Rebels retreat. This means that the Yellow Turbans have opened up a little strategic space, while the Rebels have compressed a little strategic space.

This advance and retreat is tantamount to defeating the Yellow Turbans again. The Yellow Turbans will have more strategic space to retreat and escape, but they will be exhausted one day later. For the rebels, the war will be delayed one day longer.

When you are on the march, time is like gold. If you delay for one more day, you will lose more food and fodder.

Fortunately, although this time the plan was unprepared and the cheating method was poorly timed and had huge flaws, the Yellow Turban was weaker and did not catch the flaw at all.

So in the end, the Yellow Turbans were defeated.

Li Mengxi learned some important knowledge and was deeply touched. When watching TV series, he saw people cheating and losing, and they used it very magically. When he used it himself, he ignored the key and almost made a mistake.

Li Mengxi lamented that it was easy to know but hard to do, but now we know it.

Li Mengxi had a deep question in his mind. Since the timing and target of the fraud plan must be taken into consideration, what is the suitable target and timing for using this plan?

Li Mengxi had a serious discussion with Guan Yu on this issue, and the final result of the discussion was-

"The method of cheating defeat is a strategy for arrogant soldiers, and it is both beneficial and disadvantageous to me.

The advantage of deceiving the enemy is to let the enemy's troops advance rashly, without connecting the front and rear, causing the formation to disperse. Then, when the enemy's troops advance rashly, without connecting the front and rear, and the formation disperses, we can take advantage of it.

opportunity.

There are two disadvantages to the method of cheating defeat. First, since I cheat defeat, I will retreat and attract the enemy. If I retreat, I will give up the air and ground to the enemy. This will in vain allow me to strategically defeat the enemy.

Secondly, feigning defeat can make the enemy soldiers arrogant and arrogant, and it can also make the enemy's morale high.

Those who have learned the advantages and disadvantages of this can know that if you feign defeat and do not give up the geographical advantage, if you occupy one place, it will be of great benefit to our army. If you feign defeat, you can lead the enemy to penetrate deeper, but if you need to retreat and give up the land, there is no need to feign defeat. If you use it, you can pick up the small ones.

The loss is big and the gain is not worth the loss.

Furthermore, the method of cheating and defeat is used for a strong and high-spirited army. The soldiers are high-spirited and only when they are stimulated by cheating and defeat can they be arrogant.

If his morale is neither arrogant nor arrogant, and his morale is stable, and if he is provoked by fraud, his morale will be high, but not enough to make him arrogant.

If the enemy's morale is still low and the army is in low morale, and it is stimulated by deceiving defeat, the enemy's morale will stabilize and it will be difficult for him to become arrogant and arrogant.

Therefore, we know that as long as the method of arrogant soldiers is used, the effectiveness of arrogant soldiers is limited. It is better to use it on the enemy who is high-spirited than on the enemy who is stable and depressed.

We also know that if morale is measured, it can be divided into four categories: low morale, moderate morale, high morale, and arrogant and arrogant morale.

The method of arrogant soldiers can only be used against high-spirited enemies.

For an army that is in a downturn, the roar of wind and cranes may scare it into a rout. Its vigilance is very strong. Even if it is lured by deception, its vigilance will not be reduced, and it will be difficult for us to succeed. For an army with stable morale, its vigilance is slightly weak, and the roar of wind and cranes will not disturb its army.

, I use deceit to lure him, and he may be able to fall into the trap; if the enemy is high-spirited, no matter how low his alertness is, I use deceit to lure him, and the possibility of his scheme increases; the arrogant enemy has no caution at all, and I use deception to defeat him.

To quote, it is inevitable to count a few of them.

Therefore, the method of cheating and defeat is suitable for high-spirited enemies and arrogant enemies, and it is suitable for me to temporarily give up the advantage of the situation.

"

Li Mengxi clarified the core rules and general rules of the fraud strategy.

After he summarized and finished writing, he gave it to Guan Yu to read.

Guan Yu looked at it and nodded repeatedly. He wanted to add a sentence, but couldn't.

Li Mengxi liked to write various notes, which had become a habit. Guan Yu asked with a smile, "Xi'er, how many notes have you written about the art of war?"

Li Mengxi thought for a while, but couldn't figure out how much he had written. "I wrote a lot, and there is a pile in my car."

Guan Yu nodded.

War means attack and defense.

One side attacks with a certain strategy, and the other side can counterattack with a strategy.

Li Mengxi is good at thinking backwards from both sides.

Now that he has figured out the core essence of the bluffing strategy, he can naturally deduce the strategy to deal with the enemy's bluffing method.

"From the strategy of deceiving defeat, we learned the strategy of restraining the enemy from deceiving defeat.

I know that when I am in a downturn, the enemy will pretend to be defeated. I have nothing to fear. I only need to stabilize my position. The enemy's pretended defeat will not be effective, but will boost my morale. When I am in a stable position, the enemy will pretend to be defeated. If I can be cautious, the enemy will also counterattack.

When my morale is high and my morale is as high as a rainbow, at this time, no matter the general, I will be careless and careless. At this time, I should be careful to prevent the enemy from trying to defraud me.

The key to preventing fraud and failure is when I get carried away.

It is a trade-off between false defeat and geographical advantage. Since the enemy falsely believes defeat, he must leave some strategic space to lure us.

If the land is conducive to me and enhances my strength, then I know that if the enemy wants to deceive me and lead me to defeat, I might as well use his plan to seize the land and then stop.

Then the enemy will fail to fake defeat and will lose strategic space.
