Chapter 570: The Art of Deception(1/2)
Li Mengxi thought that using money as bait to trap and kill Zhuozhou Army soldiers was Huangfu Song's method.
After handling the matter, Li Mengxi thought to himself, (This method is good, but now this method belongs to Mr. Li!)
Borrowing things to find people should belong to [Trojan Horse Art of War].
In the rough art of war framework compiled by Li Mengxi, Trojan Horse Art of War refers to the general term for all strategies of borrowing objects or people to calculate the enemy.
[Trojan Horse Warfare] includes, but is not limited to, deliberately making a siege ladder made of willow wood and leaving it outside the city. If the enemy picks up the willow siege ladder and directly carries the ladder to attack the city, then a stone will inevitably fall from the top of the city.
The siege ladder was easily smashed. In this way, the enemy had to use only one siege ladder. Not only did they fail to gain any tactical advantage, but they also killed many soldiers.
All kinds of things like that.
There is also a pair of golden oxen deliberately left for the three enemies. The three enemies fight for the two golden oxen and cannot be divided equally. This is the method of killing three men with two peaches. If among the three enemies, there happens to be a narrow-minded person like Lu Bu who sees profit and forgets his righteousness, then
A pair of golden bulls is enough to make three enemies fight.
Thus, a mere pair of golden bulls wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemies in one night.
As for leaving food containing the plague virus to the enemy intentionally, etc., Li Mengxi classified these into the "Trojan Horse Art of War". The Trojan Horse Art of War involves borrowing things to plot against the enemy.
Now I have learned that money and cloth can be used as bait to lure the enemy into fighting.
For a moment, Li Mengxi had thought about all the imaginable roles that money and cloth could play in battle.
[First, if the enemy is a disorganized and undisciplined army such as the Yellow Turban refugees, you can lure the enemy into disarray and scatter their formation. Order the sergeants to throw money and cloth on the road. When the Yellow Turban refugees see it, they will swarm and fight for it. Since they swarm,
The formation is completely gone. If our army leads a mass charge again, defeat will be easy. With three or five carts of money, we can lure one hundred thousand Yellow Turbans and defeat one hundred thousand people.
Second, it is also used to lure the enemy. When we are defending the city, our army is defending the city, and the enemy's ants attack. At this time, the weapons used to defend the city include bows, crossbows, hammers, rocks, wood, gold juice, etc. Now we know that the weapons used to defend the city can be
Money cloth.
You can wrap five baht coins in a piece of cloth and make it as big as a fist. When defending the city, you can throw the money outside the city. If the enemy's military discipline is not strict, the enemies below the city will loot everything. After looting, they will not be able to lift the ladder and climb up.
It was slow, so at this time, the pressure on me to defend the city was greatly reduced, and I had hundreds of money. The benefit of defending the city was actually better than beating stones with gold and juice. If the enemy had a little military discipline, his soldiers would not dare to rob the money, but the wealth and silk
It is so moving that the golden beads are rolling under the feet and the jingling of bells is ringing. No one can ignore it. Although they dare not snatch it, the soldiers in the city and the people on the escalator stare at the golden beads. The people who climb the ladder move their eyes when they see the gold beads falling.
, when one's mind is divided into two parts, how can the ladder be stable, how can one climb the ladder quickly, and how can one's morale be as solid as iron?
Thirdly, if during the attack on the city, money is thrown at the enemy's city, and if the enemy loots it, they will be scattered. If they are scattered, I will gain great advantage by attacking the city.]
The officers and soldiers joined forces with the Zhuozhou Army and almost killed many soldiers of the Zhuozhou Army.
Precisely because of this confrontation, Li Mengxi learned a lesson, and therefore added the [Trojan Horse Art of War].
Talking about the method of strange attack, there are water attack, fire attack, Tian use time, etc., and the method of using money, cloth and silk to plot the enemy may be called the method of gold attack.
What Li Mengxi realized was not only the art of three-two surprise attacks, but also military regulations.
When he encountered the soldiers fighting, Li Mengxi drew his sword and was about to kill someone. At that time, he immediately realized that it would be better if he had a whip.
It is better to whip someone with a whip than with a knife.
Li Mengxi realized that he would have to carry a whip with him in the future.
Not to mention hitting people frequently like Zhang Fei, at least sometimes the whip can be snapped in the air to deter chaos.
Thinking about it further, Li Mengxi specially equipped the soldiers with many whips and ropes to trip the horses when he captured the Yellow Turban prisoners, especially the Wufeng Mingdy. Although the Wufeng Mingdy is an arrow, the arrowhead is flat and blunt.
On the human body, it will only hurt, not hurt.
Li Mengxi regards Wu Feng Ming Dy as having the same effect as a rubber bullet, and is very useful for suppressing and stabilizing order.
The important thing is here - stable order.
Li Mengxi believes that for the military, military inspection agencies, such as military judges and disciplinary officers, should be equipped with special non-lethal equipment such as sharp whips, long sticks and even horse ropes.
Because the army will always encounter some emergencies, such as two soldiers or two groups of soldiers fighting each other, if the military disciplinary officer only has a knife at hand, he must maintain order when he draws the knife. The blade is sharp. In panic, bloodshed will inevitably occur.
There was only a slight conflict between the two groups of soldiers. The military judge drew his sword and went forward, unable to control it, resulting in dozens of casualties. This was obviously too much.
However, if the military judge does not draw his sword and goes up with his bare hands, the deterrence effect will not be enough.
Therefore, Li Mengxi realized that the Wufeng Mingdi, which was both a strong deterrent and a non-lethal weapon, seemed to be tailor-made for the military judge.
The deterrent power of the Ming Dy must be enough. The two groups of soldiers beat each other to bloody heads and could not pull them apart. At this time, the military judge pointed a long whip at the crowd of people and whipped them hard. He shot the people with the Ming Dy, but the whip hit them
On the body, the hammer hits the rib ridge, how painful it must be, and wooden sticks are used to trip the fishing nets, especially the fishing nets. They have already discussed these things with Guan and Zhang. Both Guan and Zhang think that if someone takes the fishing net,
Surrounded by a long rope, you can't hide.
In other words, if dozens of soldiers came around with fishing nets and long ropes, even Guan and Zhang would be captured alive.
If the law enforcement officers in the military are specially equipped with sufficient non-lethal deterrent weapons, this means that even if the person fighting is Lu Bu, as soon as the law enforcement officer comes, throws the fishing net, and pulls the rope, even if he is Lu Bu, he will have to calm down.
.
What's even better is that the entire process of maintaining order did not cause any bloodshed and no one was killed or injured.
How can it be that in the army, if one day there is a conflict between the Zhuozhou army and the people, and the people are incited by others and clash with the military camp, and if soldiers are sent to maintain order at this time, bloodshed and casualties will easily occur during the conflict, which is inappropriate.
If military judges bring non-lethal weapons to maintain order, order can be maintained without harming innocent people, which is the best of both worlds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the second point of knowledge that Li Mengxi learned from the secret confrontation with Cao Cao after the army counterattack.
Let’s talk about the officers and soldiers.
Huangfu Song listened to Cao Cao's words and really thought that he would use money to lure the Zhuozhou Army into fighting. Huangfu Song was very happy and ordered Cao Cao to keep up his efforts and defeat the Zhuozhou Army's spirit.
Cao Cao mobilized another heavy chariot. After marching for a while, he saw Zhuozhou Army soldiers on the roadside again.
Cao Cao still used the old strategy. When he arrived at the place, he had his money bag cut open, and the coins were scattered along the way.
But this time, the Zhuozhou Army soldiers guarding both sides of the road watched helplessly and remained indifferent.
After Cao Cao pushed the heavy cart to the ground and walked away, the Zhuozhou soldiers were still indifferent to the money everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao sighed in his heart. Sure enough, the Zhuozhou army was on guard before the plan came out.
Then I thought about the Zhuozhou Army general Zhang Fei who had gone forward a moment ago. Why should I bother the Zhuozhou Army general to go forward? He must have urgently issued a military order to the general, strictly ordering not to leave a penny behind.
Otherwise, it is not enough to explain why in a short period of time, the soldiers of the Zhuozhou Army looked like two different armies.
The plan failed, and Cao Cao felt powerless.
This once again proved from the side that Li Mengxi’s caution was just right.
Li Mengxi always said there is no need for tomorrow. If you encounter the enemy today and the next moment, what should you do?
If Li Mengxi had not immediately entrusted Zhang Fei to go and strictly apply for the military order, the soldiers in front would have been severely warned by Zhang Fei before Cao Cao implemented his second strategy.
If Zhang Fei hadn't gone fast enough and reacted in time, Cao Cao would have tried his trick a second time, and the soldiers of the Zhuozhou Army would still have been hit, and countless casualties would still have been caused.
Cao Cao's strategy didn't work.
In the middle of the avenue, a heavy-duty truck fell into the road, and copper coins were scattered all over the ground.
On both sides, Zhuozhou Army soldiers were all staring at the money easily available on the road, focusing entirely on the money.
Li Mengxi guessed a little more correctly. Li Mengxi had just perfected the "Trojan Horse Art of War". Li Mengxi believed that money could be as useful an offensive and defensive weapon as stones, and even more useful than huge rocks.
Take money and throw it under the city wall, and the enemy soldiers will be under the city wall. Even if the military discipline is strict, when money rains down on the city wall, the enemy soldiers will still reduce their combat effectiveness.
No one will be distracted when money rolls straight to your feet.
Although Cao Cao scattered money for the second time, the soldiers of the Zhuozhou Army remained unmoved. However, when Cao Cao scattered money, the soldiers were all focused on the coins and were completely vigilant.
If Cao Cao wanted to launch an attack at this time, the soldiers of Zhuozhou Army would be killed and completely defeated.
Cao Cao, the planner, didn't realize that the money offensive could be used in this way. When he was about to break through, he could order his soldiers to throw coins at the enemy, which would definitely weaken the enemy's combat power. This was a unique method of subduing troops.
What Cao Cao didn't know was that Li Mengxi had already planned to write down a whole set of money offensive tactics and strategies into the Art of War.
——
In the afternoon, Zhang Fei came back from the front.
Li Mengxi and Zhang Fei meet up.
Zhang Feidao said that all the soldiers have been informed, and anyone who dares to pick up the money will be killed without mercy.
Li Mengxi was thoughtful, but Li Mengxi suddenly asked, "Third General, you said that our army is not short of money and cloth."
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, "We're short of money! If we're not short of money, how can we be afraid of having too much money?"
Li Mengxi nodded, staring at the tail of the marching ranks of the officers and soldiers in the distance, thoughtfully, "I think so too. I think that if the officers and soldiers fail to seduce me with money, they will no longer throw away money, and our army will
Wouldn’t it be a lot less beneficial?”
"Maybe," Li Mengxi touched his chin, "you can use the trick to defraud him of some money." Li Mengxi said.
——
Among the officers and soldiers, Cao Cao planned to lie to the end.
After carrying a heavy cart and throwing it away, Cao Cao immediately went to report back and said that the Zhuozhou army was fighting for money again.
After doing this several times, Huangfu Song couldn't bear it any longer and said to Cao Cao, "Take another cart full of money, and I'll go and have a look too!"
Huangfusong looked excited.
Huangfusong wanted to see for himself the grand scene of Zhuozhou soldiers fighting in groups.
