All the generals and soldiers in the Baihetan military camp have completely fallen into the trap.

After a fire, the camp was burned down, the soldiers fled and suffered a heavy blow, but most of the soldiers still maintained basic discipline, which is commendable.

However, due to deliberate calculations, the combat effectiveness of this unit of officers and soldiers completely collapsed.

On the advice of well-meaning businessmen, the generals of the army and the army sent four-fifths of their men to purchase wood. For the so-called confidentiality and in order not to attract attention, they went to other counties to buy the wood. The long distance and manpower were exhausted.

They were scattered into dozens of teams. If a war broke out suddenly, the scattered troops would be unable to fight.

The organization of the army has been completely dismembered.

This is not the end of the story. It is feared that the army will rebuild the camp in a short period of time. In order to delay as much time as possible, the businessmen pretending to be the rebels deliberately induced the army to build the camp. Since then, a lot of manpower and material resources have been wasted.

That's it. A large camp can delay the army for at least half a month. During this half month, 80% of the army's troops were scattered outside, and the remaining 20% ​​were busy building it all day long.

The soldiers are tired and fall second to the camp. The key is that once the camp is put into construction, the officers and soldiers lose their combat readiness.

For example, in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Xia Houyuan was beheaded by Huang Zhong because he was busy repairing antlers. Similarly, when the officers and soldiers were busy digging pits and carrying wood, when the officers and soldiers were busy, only

The remaining 20% ​​of the official army, just like Xia Houyuan at Dingjun Mountain, would be easily killed and defeated in a surprise attack.

There are 20% of the army, probably more than a hundred people. Although these more than one hundred people are gathered together and act according to the orders of the generals, only twenty or thirty infantrymen suddenly come to kill, and more than a hundred people are busy.

The unarmed officers and soldiers who were working were unable to resist.

In Zhang Fei's plan, the number of troops was limited. The number of troops left to deal with the Baihetan army was at most fifty.

Now that the matter has been accomplished, there is no need for fifty men. If there is an incident, only three or five cavalrymen will suddenly rush over and kill the officers and soldiers of a mere hundred or so people immediately.

In fact, there is no need for five cavalry, three cavalry are enough. What's more, with only one cavalry, it is not difficult for an elite cavalry to suddenly rush into the unsuspecting construction site and kill more than a hundred officers and soldiers.

Zhang Fei put down the fire overnight, and all the enemies were eliminated.

A full calculation, counting the dozens of people running around with the official and army purchasing teams to buy wood in distant places, plus the twenty or thirty infantry or three or five cavalry left to attack the official and army camps at the beginning of the day, that's it.

It took about fifty people and achieved the expected goal perfectly.

This is still the beginning. After a day or two, each "caravan guide" will help the officers and soldiers' purchasing team find a good seller, and then the officers and soldiers can go back and forth by themselves. When the guides come back, dozens of troops

When we return to the rebel army, we only need to reserve combat manpower, and only three or five cavalrymen will be enough.

Originally, it was difficult enough for fifty troops to wipe out an army camp, but in the end, only three or five cavalry were needed.

Looking back at the entire night attack plan, it started from the Trojan horse plan, from deliberately leaving firewood to the officers and soldiers, to sending people behind to pretend to be a caravan to dismember the officers and soldiers.

It can't be done.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei planned carefully and carefully, so he was prepared and unprepared, and finally it happened.

Once upon a time, Li Mengxi always did things in a hurry, as if he always felt that if he didn't get things done right this second, trouble would come the next second.

As for Li himself, he said that the way of war is dangerous, and he dare not be careless or slack off.

Yesterday, the officers and generals saw firewood piled up in the village. The officers and generals were cautious enough and were keenly aware of the hidden dangers of the accumulation of firewood. As a result, the officers and generals were anxious to train their troops and planned to remove the firewood tomorrow.

The officers and generals thought nothing happened.

But it just so happened that the camp was burned down because of a one-night delay.

If there is not a large amount of firewood piled up in the camp, when the attackers enter the camp and set fire, they will not have enough kindling materials, so the fire will be small, causing the entire night attack plan to fail.

There is only one chance for a night attack. If it fails, at worst, there will be no possibility of disintegrating the Baihetan official army. The rebels will have to leave at least two hundred elite troops for defense. At worst, if the night attack fails, if the fire attack fails,

There will be no chaos in the camp. If the officers and soldiers are not in chaos, the attackers will not be able to escape. After that, the officers and generals will inspect the camp to find the cause of the fire. During this investigation, the thirteen attackers will almost certainly be found out.

.

Although it is said that the thirteen attackers were given a strict warning by Zhang Fei before setting off, and if they failed, all of them would be executed, these thirteen people were the Thirteen Dead Soldiers, so they could probably keep their mouths shut.

However, people are unpredictable. If someone cannot bear it and spreads the matter, once the officers and soldiers know that it is the Zhuozhou Army who wants to burn the camp at night, once the news is revealed to the court, it will be over, and Zhang Fei's entire plan will be ruined.

Mr. Li was busy all day as if he was rushing to death. He was afraid that if the omission was not corrected at the first step, the person would die.

If that's the case, it's just one step too late, just one step too slow. Just this one step difference is really the difference between a complete victory and a great defeat, and it can really kill someone.

The difference in details between a great victory and a great defeat lies not only in Zhang Fei's rigorous planning, but also in the response of the officers and soldiers. If the officers and generals had been a little more diligent and rushed, as long as they had moved the firewood outside overnight, they might not have been able to defeat the enemy.

The whole camp was burned down.

——

The old military camp had turned into ashes. The soldiers and soldiers in disheveled clothes picked up the materials that were still intact in the camp and piled them in a few small piles outside the camp.

The fire broke out suddenly last night, and when they fled in a hurry, the officers and soldiers had no time to bring out anything. Tent, food, grass, firewood, armor, crossbows, swords, guns and other weapons were all burned in the fire.

Due to the heavy losses in military resources, even if all the officers and soldiers were present, their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced.

The generals and generals were digging with adzes and sweating profusely as they dug the pits where the piles were buried. On the other side, the timber merchant enthusiastically helped with the digging with a hoe. After being busy for a while, the merchant dropped the hoe and wiped the sweat from his hands.

He told the generals, "Master, let me stay busy here for now. I'll go home and collect some money to buy two carts of wood..."

"Ah! You can't do it!" The generals of the army and the army hurriedly stopped him, "I'm not very grateful for my brother's help. How can I waste my money on my brother?"

The businessman smiled and said, "Well, I'll take my leave first. I still have to take care of the business at home. I'll come back in a few days to see if the military master can be of use. I'll be here at any time!"

The merchant resigned, and the general threw down his adze and sent the merchant away.

When the two of them said goodbye at the intersection, the general suddenly stopped and said, "Brother, wait a minute! I'll come as soon as I go!"

The businessman looked at the officers and generals trotting away, feeling slightly puzzled.

After a while, the officers and generals came with weapons and armor in their arms.

The general of the army gave a pair of fish scale armor and five or six swords that were luckily not burned to the merchant. The general smiled and said, "I will keep these three or two things to buy my brother several carts of wood. I hope my brother will not give them up."

!”

The businessman took the armor and asked hesitantly, "This... private use of ordnance, if the superiors ask, it would be bad, right? The military master should just take it back. A few carts of wood are nothing!"

The businessman refused.

The generals were ashamed because their military supplies had been destroyed and they had no money to pay for the wood. The merchant refused to accept it, so he insisted on giving it away.

As a last resort, the merchant had no choice but to collect the soldiers and armor.

After bidding farewell twice, the businessman clasped his fists on horseback and saluted the general, "Then, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" the officers and generals responded with clasped fists.

Amid the clatter of horseshoes, the merchant walked away without looking back.

On the roadside, the general of the army watched the businessman leave, feeling deeply in his heart that this businessman who helped him was a true righteous man.

——

Soon after, the "businessman" hurried back to the rebel camp. In the big tent, the businessman excitedly reported the results to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei heard that 80% of the army had been deceived into transporting wood, and the remaining 20% ​​of the army was working with saws and digging big holes, and they were completely unprepared for war.

Zhang Fei laughed heartily. He was so happy that he took off the gourd from his waist and handed it to the "businessman", "Here, take a few sips."

The merchant thanked Zhang Fei, picked up the gourd, pulled out the stopper, put the gourd to his mouth, raised his head and drank.

There was strong liquor in the gourd. The merchant took two swigs of it. The liquor was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue. It was spicy and refreshing. After two sips, he couldn't get enough of it. The merchant raised the gourd and was about to drink more. Zhang Fei snatched it away.

He laughed and scolded, "You can take just two sips! Do you want to finish it for me?"

The "businessman" chuckled. He raised his sleeves and pursed his lips. He asked Zhang Fei, "General, can I return to the team?"

Zhang Fei looked the "Businessman" up and down, looking at the "Businessman's" rare fat and rich figure, "Well," Zhang Fei nodded and said thoughtfully, "Your figure is quite a bit...

usefulness."

Zhang Fei thought that this time he would be able to find a well-dressed soldier with business experience in the army. If this were not the case, and if there were no such suitable candidates, it would be difficult to deceive the officers and soldiers in the end.

Zhang Fei thought that if it was to be used in emergencies, it seemed that the army would have to bring along some men, women, old and children from all walks of life as backup.

What Zhang Fei was thinking of was actually what Li Mengxi had recorded, [Special Attack Tactics] and [Special Attack Camp].

A fat soldier with business experience named Zhao Da served as the first corps commander in the army.

Zhao Da didn't leave after finishing his report. He pointed to the fish scale armor and the sword, and asked, "General, this armor also has a sword. Do you think it is..."

Zhang Fei was very smart at looking at people and understood what Zhao Da meant at a glance. Zhang Fei happened to be in a good mood and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll reward you!"

Zhao Da looked happy and said, "Thank you so much, General!"

A piece of extremely high-quality fish scale armor and a hundred-refined eight-sided long sword were awarded to Zhao Da. Zhao Dale couldn't do it, so he put on the fish scale armor, took the long sword, and walked out of the tent with his chest raised and his head raised.

When Zhao Da returned to the team, the people in the team saw that Zhao Da had changed his armor and was equipped with a sword. Everyone knew that Zhao Da had made great achievements, and they were all envious. They said jokingly that we should never forget each other even if we are rich and noble.

Zhao Da's armor and sword were brought back from the army. Zhang Fei casually rewarded the returned armor to Zhao Da, which was actually a little inappropriate.

Far away in Julu, after the envoy returned from Changshan, Li Mengxi and officials from various ministries finalized the binding rules for envoys and foreign affairs activities, and the income from foreign affairs activities, whether it was gold, pearls, property, or soldiers sent by the other party.

A BMW should not be owned by an individual, but should be taken back to public ownership.

This is not unfair to envoys and foreign ministers, but fair.

When an envoy goes on a mission, the other party will give him a lot of money as a gift. However, the other party's gift is for the sake of the power behind the envoy, not for the envoy's personal face.
