"I can't understand. It's clear that there won't be any reinforcements in Beihai, but now we have to face reinforcements from one side. Is it really good for us to have one more enemy?" Guan Hai questioned Sun Quan face to face.
Because Guan Hai had received education from Zhang Jiao, he was considered one of the few people in the Yellow Turban Army who had read a book. However, Guan Hai believed that his level of education was completely incomparable to that of Sun Quan, let alone the art of war. In other words, Guan Hai could not be sure whether what Sun Quan said about the art of war was real, or whether it was something Sun Quan made up temporarily to fool him. Even if this art of war is really good, whether it should be used at this time depends on the situation. A powerful general can use the most appropriate art of war at the most appropriate time. Those who use it blindly will always be just words on paper.
Guan Hai was already extremely suspicious of Sun Quan's motives, so any abnormal behavior by Sun Quan was worthy of his questioning.
"General Guan, you need to understand one thing. First of all, just because Kong Rong didn't ask for help, it doesn't mean that there won't be reinforcements in Beihai. Do we really think that other princes don't know about our actions here? Secondly, the belief in Beihai City can still be upheld. What is it? They firmly believe that reinforcements will arrive. It can be said that before the reinforcements arrive, no matter how difficult it is for Kong Rong's army, they will grit their teeth and persevere. And at this time, when they find that the reinforcements they have been waiting for have finally arrived, they are still When they were annihilated by us before they had time to rejoice, they no longer had any faith in their hearts. Do you think they can still hold on?" Sun Quan explained, "This is the basis for this encirclement and reinforcements."
After Guan Hai listened carefully, he was not fooled by Sun Quan immediately. He thought about it carefully and continued to ask,
"Master Sun, Kong Rong did not send anyone out. Although there may be people willing to rescue him, he sent people out and brought enough benefits in exchange. Some princes who were originally unwilling to send troops may also accept the conditions and send troops. Right? Then, when the reinforcements arrive, won’t the North Navy take action at the same time and attack us from the inside out? If we attack the reinforcements, the North Navy will also attack us, right?"
"Good question!"
Sun Quan gave Guan Hai a thumbs-up sign and praised,
"It seems that General Guan is not a person who lives in vain."
Yu'er on the side almost didn't laugh. Sun Quan, this guy, often praises people for not needing money (Sun Quan: It really doesn't need money). Just like he did to Taishi Ci before, he held people up and held them up, and finally fell in love without knowing it. He was fooled. According to this pace, Guan Hai is probably fast.
Just listen to Sun Quan continue to say,
"General Guan, you are right. Originally there might be reinforcements, but now there are bound to be reinforcements, but this is not a bad thing for us at all. Reinforcements might come, don't you always be on guard? Are there reinforcements? This kind of psychological expectation will only make you Yellow Turban Army timid and unable to let go to fight. When the possible reinforcements actually come, you will no longer have worries in your heart, and the war will be easier to fight. "
Sun Quan looked at Guan Hai with a smile,
"General Guan, do you think this is true? Or do you mean that you have not made any preparations for possible reinforcements? You don't want to rely on luck to keep fighting, do you?"
Guan Hai blushed when he heard this. Fortunately, his originally dark skin was not obvious. Indeed, Guan Hai had thought about the possibility of reinforcements, but he really didn't worry about it, let alone make preparations. Now that Sun Quan reminded Guan Hai, he suddenly became afraid. If reinforcements suddenly arrived without him taking any precautions, catching them off guard, could the Qingzhou Yellow Turban survive such a surprise attack?
"This is indeed the truth. Mr. Sun, please continue." At this moment, Guan Hai's mentality has completely changed. He is no longer questioning Sun Quan, but sincerely asking Sun Quan for advice.
Sun Quan smiled, knowing that his original goal had been achieved, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, at least in a short period of time, would operate under his influence. With such an army, although it is still not as elite as Sun Quan thought, but with mental calculations and unintentional calculations, coupled with the advance simulation of Sansi's illusion, and constant modification of details, the God of War Guan Yu will inevitably become the leader of Sun Quan's army. The men were defeated!
"The key to encircling a point for reinforcements is to gather reinforcements. The biggest advantage is that we are in the dark and the enemy is in the light. The reinforcements want to rescue Beihai and are anxious. They will march very fast and are prone to neglecting to guard against some dangers. Therefore, we As long as you ambush at a specific location in advance, you can achieve miraculous results. As for the Beihai side, they will not be given a chance to contact reinforcements at all, so naturally there is no need to worry about them attacking from both sides." Sun Quan talked eloquently.
Guan Hai frowned.
"In other words, we want to set up an ambush far away from the North Sea?"
"Awesome!" Sun Quan praised Guan Hai again, "General Guan immediately grasped the key point. The closer to the Beihai, the more cautious the reinforcements will be. On the contrary, the further away from the Beihai, the more relaxed they will be. The best position, Just set up an ambush halfway."
Guan Hai's eyes flashed. He had led troops to fight many battles and was considered a practical fighter. Many problems were very realistic and acute.
"If we are close to the Beihai, there are places we must pass through. If we are far away from the Beihai, we will ambush in advance. How can we be sure that the reinforcements from the Beihai will definitely pass there?"
"Then you have to think clearly in advance who Kong Rong is going to ask for help. As long as you know the direction in which the reinforcements are coming, you can naturally find the route they will take." Sun Quan replied.
"Oh? Mr. Sun already knows the purpose of Kong Rong's request for help?" Guan Hai raised his eyebrows. He thought that Sun Quan got the information from Tai Shi Ci because he had once captured him.
"Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei. Kong Rong must have asked Liu Bei for help, and only Liu Bei would be willing to send troops to rescue Beihai." Sun Quan said with certainty.
"We let Keren go on purpose, wouldn't they be suspicious?" Guan Hai suddenly asked.
"Doubts will come to the rescue, otherwise he would not be Liu Bei!" Sun Quan said firmly, whether Liu Bei was a true gentleman or a hypocrite, the reason why he succeeded in the end was because of his character of Uncle Liu Bei who insisted on benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Personality is something that, although invisible and intangible, is really important. He had also attached himself to countless princes, so why didn't everyone dare to trust Lu Bu no matter who he surrendered to? Even Cao Cao, who was famous for his generosity (Cao Cao was even willing to accept Zhang Xiu, his enemy who killed his son), didn't dare to accept Lu Bu's surrender. But as for Liu Bei, he was attached to Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and even the alliance with Jiangdong before the final battle of Chibi was actually considered an attachment. As a result, everyone Everyone regarded Liu Bei as a guest, and although they were on guard against him, and although they did not reuse him, no one wanted to kill Liu Bei outright. This is the huge role played by personality.
Therefore, Sun Quan firmly believed that after Taishi Ci went to Pingyuan to find Liu Bei, Liu Bei had no reason to refuse. Otherwise, his personality would have collapsed. A Liu Bei with a collapsed personality would not be able to make a comeback in the future. No matter how big the waves are, they cannot become Sun Quan's great enemy.
"General Guan, if you can trust me, you can continue to surround Beihai here. I will lead some elite troops to ambush the reinforcements coming from Pingyuan County." Sun Quan said his proposal.
