Chapter 705 Who will act as bait?
"After all, the other three thieves also have their own strategic purposes."
"If that's the case, why would you go to Yingchou Gorge for no reason?"
"After all, the mountains are high, the forests are deep, and the terrain is dangerous. There is no need for the bandits in the other three places to leave the flat road and go to such dangerous places."
"This idea, basically, just..."
When Master Zhong said this, he suddenly got stuck.
The expression on his face also changed rapidly from gloomy to bright.
Sometimes he hesitated, sometimes he smiled, and sometimes he sighed slightly.
With such an expression, not to mention that Zhao Ji, who was standing next to him, couldn't understand it.
Even the civil and military ministers behind him, who were listening attentively to Zhong Shidao's conception, also frowned in confusion at this time.
In my heart, I simply couldn't guess what was going on with Master Zhong's appearance like this.
Finally, Su Yuanjing, who was still standing not far away, couldn't bear it anymore.
So Bendang asked first:
"General Zhong, why don't you finish what you just said?"
"That's the idea at all. What's the matter?"
"Speak quickly, but don't make us anxious."
Zhong Shidao shook his head with a wry smile:
"I didn't mean to play tricks on you just now. It was just the method I had in mind. It's really a bit whimsical."
"But even if Ruoguo gives up, he still feels a little reluctant to give up."
"So I just paused there, not knowing what to say."
Zhao Ji shook his head helplessly:
"I love you, no matter what method you use, you can say it in public."
"Whether it's highly feasible, low-feasibility, or whimsical, you can tell me."
"After all, at the moment, we can't think of a better way."
Zhongshidao saw that Zhao Ji had said this, so he slowly said what he was thinking:
"If Wei Chen were to tell it in the way he just told it, perhaps the officials and the ministers in the court would not be able to understand it quickly."
"That being the case, let me quote a short story from ancient times."
"Think back to the Three Kingdoms period, when Sima Zhongda and Zhuge Kongming faced each other."
"At the beginning, Sima Zhongda didn't know how powerful Zhuge Kongming was."
"That's why we repeatedly led our troops to attack."
"But gradually, when Sima Zhongda understood the power of Zhuge Kongming, he rarely took the initiative to attack."
"Usually, they adopt a passive defensive posture."
"The reason why Sima Zhongda adopted such a method to confront the enemy was also the result of his careful consideration."
"The place where Sima Zhongda stationed his troops is not far from the capital of Wei."
"Although it is not very convenient to receive grain and grass supplies from the capital of Wei on weekdays, it is much better than Zhuge Kongming and his group."
"As for Zhuge Kongming and his gang, they have to transport military supplies back and forth once, but they still have to go through the extremely difficult Shu Road."
"It is really very laborious to transport grain and grass once, and the loss of money and grain is huge."
"So Sima Zhongda expected that if he could not hold on to his place, Zhuge Kongming's logistics supply would be exhausted over time."
"When the time comes, there is no need for Sima Zhongda to lead troops to fight, and Zhuge Kongming and others will retreat to Shu."
"And what about Zhuge Kongming?"
"But he was also well aware of Sima Zhongda's plan, so after that, he sent generals to insult him in front of the battle, and also sent women's colorful clothes to humiliate Sima Zhongda."
"Just what I was hoping for in my heart, after Sima Zhongda couldn't stand such humiliation, he was so angry that he sent troops to fight."
"This will suit Zhuge Kongming's wishes."
"But Sima Zhongda is also very smart and will not be fooled at all."
"Later, Zhuge Kongming also figured it out."
"That Sima Zhongda was originally a person with an extremely stoic character."
"Even so, how could he completely lose his mind after being insulted by such a beautiful woman, and then follow Zhuge Kongming's wishes?"
"Zhuge Kongming thought about this, so he took advantage of Sima Zhongda's inherent thoughts about their Shu army."
"Put up a very clever plan."
"That is, using Zhuge Kongming himself as bait to lure Sima Zhongda's generals to capture him."
"The significance of Zhuge Kongming to the entire Shu Kingdom is no less than that of the Dinghai Divine Needle."
"As long as Sima Zhongda can capture him alive, then there will no longer be any threat to the Shu region."
"Even Sima Zhongda also expected that this method might be the opponent's strategy."
"But in the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation, so he sent his troops out."
"Although Sima Zhongda was also very cunning, he was afraid of falling into Zhuge Kongming's trap, so he led his troops to attack another place."
"But in the end, Zhuge Kongming still followed Zhuge Kongming's path, and suffered huge losses in terms of troops and generals."
Su Yuanjing stroked his beard and laughed:
"Isn't this just fishing for golden turtles with scented bait?"
"Such a strategy sounds extremely simple, but the question is, where do we find a bait that can attract the attention of all parties without fearing our own safety?"
"If the weight of the scented bait is too light, then this strategy will never work."
"And here, when we hang scented bait on the fishhook, the excuses used are also justified."
"Otherwise, you can't easily attract the other party's attention, so how can the other party take the bait?"
Afterwards, everyone present discussed this issue repeatedly for a long time.
But in the end, a very reliable result was not reached.
Therefore, we can only disperse the court first.
Zhao Ji, who returned to Shangshu's room, pondered this issue in his mind for a long time.
It wasn't until dawn that day that the look in Zhao Xi's eyes gradually became firmer.
three days later.
A pre-war condolence team set out from the capital.
There are more than [-] people in this condolences team, and [-] of them are soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
The remaining five thousand were the remaining soldiers of the Liao Kingdom.
In this team, there are not only the Wolf Lord of the Liao Kingdom, but also the eldest princess Yelu Nanxian of the Liao Kingdom, as well as the officials of the Song Dynasty and their four generals:
Da Dao Guan Sheng, Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong, Beautiful Bearded Master Zhu Tong, Winged Tiger Lei Heng.
And their team is going to Daming Mansion this time.
One is to express condolences to the officers, soldiers and generals there.
Secondly, it was also for the Lord Lang of the Liao Kingdom to persuade those soldiers from the Liao Kingdom to surrender, so that they would come to surrender to the Song Dynasty one after another.
Not long after this team left the capital of the Song Dynasty, not only the generals at Daming Mansion received news of their welcome.
Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi and others who continued to attack that place also received this news.
