Perhaps he thought this question was difficult enough, or perhaps no one could think of any other questions. Inspector Lu waited for a long time and saw that no one asked any questions, then he turned to Zifeng, Zhongkai and others and said: "What do you think about this issue?"
"The disciple believes that sending a large army to attack in the direction of Kyoto will definitely shock the Northern Wei Dynasty and the public, and panic people. If our army wins, it can quickly destroy their morale and fighting spirit, which is the fastest way to win. However, if the troops leave Xuzhou too slowly, it will be easy. Letting the Northern Wei Dynasty deploy its troops calmly would easily lead to a stalemate, so it is not advisable." Zifeng responded.
"Yes." Lu Ban nodded, "Do other people have any ideas? If you have different opinions on Dean Wei's views, you can also ask for advice." Dean Lu asked enlighteningly, but his eyes fell on Liang Xiu. In Lu Xian's opinion, Chen Fan was young after all, and had only studied elementary school, so he might not be able to talk about classics. Among these people, Liang Xiu worshiped Wang Boming as his teacher, and his level was better than that of Master Wei. It's not just a matter of fact. To refute Wei Fuzi's remarks, Liang Xiu is undoubtedly the best candidate among these people.
However, although Liang Xiu felt Lu Fan's gaze, she had no intention of speaking. Firstly, she was a student of economics, so it was necessary to have a good relationship with people in the School of Economics. Secondly, based on Dean Wei's words, Liang Xiu followed He is supportive in his heart, his views are very close to his, and he does not want to refute against his true feelings.
Lu Fan saw that the disciples had no intention of speaking anymore and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Dean Wei next to him spoke first: "Fa Sheng, you are Dean Lu's new disciple. If you don't want to say a few words, give it to your master." Keep up the facade.”
Originally, Chen Fan had no intention of speaking, but since his name was called, he naturally wanted to say a few words.
"What Dean Wei said is that I am only a little talented and don't know much about the country's situation, so I didn't speak up. Now that Dean Wei asked, I will give my brief opinion. If there is something wrong, I hope that the two deans and everyone will Please bear with me, senior brother." Having said this, Chen Fan gave a salute to everyone, making sure to do enough to reduce others' resentment.
"Senior Brother Xu just said that we should start from Xuzhou and form a north-south attack with Faqing's troops to attack the Wei army. I think there are three undesirables. This undesirable is Faqing. I think there are people in Buddhism who have a lotus tongue. Yes, there is treachery, there is capriciousness, but faith is rare. Faqing was born in Buddhism. He was a monk, but he did not remember the good things of Buddhism. He killed monks and burned scriptures. It shows that this person has an unstable character and is not someone to work with. How? Can we cooperate with them to attack the Wei army?" If Master Jia were present, he would definitely applaud Chen Fan's words. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is no longer a matter of a day or two. If there is an opportunity to attack Buddhism, Chen Fan will naturally not Let it go, who told Chen Fan to be a Taoist priest now?
"These two are undesirable lands. If our army goes north, if we can win, we can gain part of the eastern part of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, due to continuous battles, this area is sparsely populated, and some of the people are Buddhist believers, and it borders the land of Faqing. If we send troops to defend it, if the number is too small, it will arouse Fa Qing's covetousness, and it will not be able to protect us; if the number is too large, Fa Qing will suspect that he will attack him, and will free up troops to defend us. In this way, each other will be in danger. On the contrary, they will restrain each other, and even Faqinghui will unite with the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack our army. It will be difficult to defend it. Therefore, this land is temporarily unavailable, and taking it will be harmful. But if we don't take it, how can the land that our soldiers exchanged for their lives be easily given to others? , it would be better not to send troops from here."
"These three undesirable trends are. Our army is moving north from the east. Brother Ganglu said that the Northern Wei Dynasty can calmly deploy its troops. Firstly, it can increase its troops in the east. Secondly, it can send troops to attack our Liang Kingdom. Even if the Northern Wei Dynasty abandons the eastern part, If we win in the Huai River area and move south, how will our army respond? At that time, the offensive and defensive forces will change, and its power is in Wei, and our army's troops are far away in the east. If we mobilize a large number of troops and return without success, it will affect the morale and financial resources of the army, and even damage it. It will lead to the depletion of national power, which are the three undesirable things.”
After saying this, Chen Fan paused. In fact, he could also talk about the three best ideas of Dean Lu's strategy, but Chen Fan thought about it and didn't say it. The reason is very simple. Talking too much will arouse others' resentment. If one is not good, It's better not to say anything since I have become a target of attack. But Dean Wei’s opinion on whether to fight or not needs to be judged. Chen Fan asked himself that he was not a narrow-minded person, but he had a principle, that is, he could not care about a person, but if this person came to the door, he must fight back, otherwise he would be regarded as a soft persimmon, and not only would the other party not If you restrain yourself, you will intensify it. For future life, you cannot show your cowardice at this time and must fight back. Of course, you must pay attention to the method and method.
"No matter how we send out troops, when we send them out, and how we fight, one thing is very important, which is the estimation of Faqing's combat power, how his strength develops, and how long he can last. These are the basis for our judgment, Dean Gang Wei He said, "The Faqing Uprising in the Northern Wei Dynasty is so powerful that it is estimated that it will not be extinguished for a while." It would be great if this could happen, but we cannot be too optimistic. The reason why Faqing's uprising is successful so far is that it is better than the Northern Wei Dynasty. Be prepared, Fa Qing just caught Wei State off guard and won temporarily. Compared with the huge Wei State, his strength is still very weak. In my opinion, without the strong help of our country, within three months from now, , will be destroyed, let alone sweep half of the Northern Wei Dynasty and separate Jizhou, Henan, and Qilu." Chen Fan decided to refute Dean Wei's judgment on the situation in Faqing, and a series of responses that Dean Wei made later were all Based on this judgment, opposing this judgment is tantamount to completely denying Dean Wei's words. Therefore, although Chen Fan's tone is tactful, the content is sharp. The smile that usually hangs on Dean Wei's face suddenly changes. He was frozen there.
Fortunately, Dean Wei had been the dean for many years and did not decide to refute him personally. Instead, he looked at the disciples and said calmly: "What do you think of Fa Sheng's words?"
After Dean Wei finished asking, everyone first looked at Xu Feng. He proposed sending troops from Xuzhou to question Dean Lu. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Chen Fan's three undesirables. Everyone was waiting to see his reaction. Unexpectedly, Suddenly, Xu Feng stood up and saluted Chen Fan and said: "Fasheng's analysis of the people, place, and situation was very thorough. I didn't think carefully before. It is really not advisable to send troops from Xuzhou. Thank you Fasheng." After that, he said Sit back.
This attitude of admitting his mistake made Chen Fan feel happy, and he immediately said: "No, fortunately, I only thought of this after Dean Lu proposed to send troops from Huai River to attack Luoyang, otherwise I would also consider Xuzhou." In fact, Chen Fan Deep down, I don't think there is anything wrong with sending troops from Xuzhou. The more troops the better. If we can send troops from Xuzhou to contain part of the enemy's strength, it is also a good choice. It just needs to be done in multiple ways in order to be more effective. Containing the enemy, Chen Fan did not fully agree with Dean Lu's troops, but of course he had to be consistent with the teacher externally.
Xu Feng nodded and said nothing. His attitude made Dean Wei anxious. He thought to himself, why didn't he object to the view that Fa Qing would lose in three months? Was he being fooled? Just when Dean Wei was anxious, Xu Zhen stood up and said: "Fasheng's statement that Faqing will be defeated in three months is too arbitrary. You must know that soldiers are unpredictable, and in history, less defeats more. If it happened, even if the Northern Wei army was stronger than Faqing, it might not be possible to win the battle. Faqing's development in more than a month should indicate that Faqing was a man who knew soldiers, or he had people under him who were accustomed to fighting. The Northern Wei Dynasty If you want to eliminate Faqing, you won’t be able to do it overnight.”
Needless to say, there is some truth to what Xu Zhen said. This may also be what most people think. Just like many people are bullish when they see the stock market rising. Now that Faqing has won a big victory, many people will naturally think that Faqing The victory will continue, but the turning point may be approaching.
"Of course it is possible to defeat more with less, but it requires the right time, right location, and harmony, as well as planning and planning. Now these points are not included in Faqing. How can Faqing remain undefeated?" Chen Fan looked at Xu Zhen. , and then said, "Let's talk about harmony first. If you want to win, you must be united. It is said that many people will be helped if you are successful, and few will be helped if you are unfaithful. After Faqing conquered the city, he killed local officials and beheaded monks and nuns. His brutality not only made officials and monks afraid , will also frighten some Buddhist believers and ordinary people. Other Buddhist sects will boycott him one after another, and ordinary people will not follow him. It will be difficult to expand the team in the future. It can be said that he has lost the support of the people and lacks harmony."
"Besides, Faqing was established less than a month ago. If he wanted to grow, he would need enough time to recuperate, train soldiers, and raise money and food. But the Northern Wei Dynasty would not give Faqing such a long time. Faqing developed too fast in the early stage, and it would inevitably It aroused the vigilance of the court in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and its indiscriminate killings would arouse panic among officials and nobles. The Northern Wei Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom had been fighting for so many years, which shows that there must be knowledgeable people in the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty. These people must want to make Fa Qing a success. If they are strangled in the cradle, they will inevitably send heavy troops to destroy Faqing in the shortest possible time to prevent him from becoming powerful. It can be seen that time is not on Faqing's side."
"Looking at the geographical advantages, Fa Qing has just captured Fucheng and Bohai County, but these places are undefeable, and the area is not large, lacking deep space for troops. If when the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked, they would decisively abandon the city and fight in the countryside. You may be able to persist for a long time, but once you give up, it means defeat without a fight. Guan Faqing will definitely refuse. If you insist on it, defeat will be a matter of time."
"Finally, we talk about the use of troops, the use of troops on the spot, the decision-making of military commanders, and the use of lives by soldiers. These are all conditions that cannot be ignored for victory or defeat. The Northern Wei Dynasty currently has millions of troops. Although they are divided into various parties, with Rouran in the north and Liang Guo in the south, as long as Without a major war, it would be no problem to mobilize 100,000 people to quell the rebellion. Moreover, the Northern Wei army was well-trained and dedicated to their lives due to years of fighting, which was unmatched by Faqing's peasant army. Therefore, Faqing's defeat was inevitable. Within three months.”
