As far as military games are concerned, there are good times and bad times.
When things go well, everything is worry-free, and the general only needs to follow the plan step by step and work steadily.
The situation is different in adversity. The general must assess the situation, adapt to circumstances, and seek comeback opportunities from unfavorable situations.
What I encountered now was the latter.
Okay, let’s analyze the situation first.
As the information continued to improve, Qi Yu suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.
That is, Fusang was an unknown teacher this time.
The fact that a teacher has a reputation and upholds justice is universal, regardless of ancient or modern times, at home or abroad.
The role of a name is so great that it cannot be ignored in the slightest.
First of all, the name can tell the people in the country why we are attacking each other. No matter how this lie is spread or how round it is, it will ultimately fall into the gimmick of protecting the people of the country.
Only in this way can you get strong support from all over the country.
Secondly, the name can also tell the soldiers on the expedition who we are attacking. Only when the goal is clear can corresponding war mobilization and morale boosting be carried out.
On the other hand, Fusang came here quietly, without any name for being a disciple, and without any notice or denunciation. Isn't this strange?
The only possibility is that their trip contains a certain element of exploration and they are not very sure of their strategic deployment, so they are unwilling to raise a banner.
To put it more bluntly, it means taking it one step at a time. If you get a chance, fight a dozen. If you don't find an opportunity, just go back the same way.
It's a bit contradictory to go out for an expedition clearly, but it seems to be a sneak attack.
"It seems that Fuso's attack this time is not full of confidence and determined to win. It obviously has some uncertain elements."
"Think about it, why do they believe the news leaked by Gao Li? If he and Gao Li join forces secretly, wouldn't their trip become a self-inflicted trap?"
At best, you can only believe half of the enemy's news. The rest depends on your own observation and judgment.
Generally speaking, Qi Yu finally figured it out.
The current three parties are all on guard against each other, and no one will trust anyone easily.
However, because Emperor Mingzheng hated herself too much, she was the first to lose her composure and took action before Goryeo. This can be regarded as an unexpected emergency!
Qi Yu thought carefully for a while, and then decided on two strategies: slowing down and slowing down.
Let’s talk about them one by one.
To slow things down, they notified Fu Xian, who was guarding Dawan, and asked him to lead his troops out to sea and approach Fusang waters to force their navy to return to defense. In this way, his situation can be alleviated.
This method has the same effect as encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, so we learn from it.
However, this strategy is a late move, and it takes a lot of trouble. Although it can change the situation, it cannot solve the urgent need.
Even if it works, it will only happen after the Fuso Army is forced back.
Distant water cannot quench the near thirst!
Therefore, emergency response is the top priority at the moment.
Can we fight?
the answer is negative.
With the small amount of troops he brought, he would definitely not be able to withstand the Fuso Army's overwhelming numbers. Even if they fought hard, they would still end in failure.
Moreover, the army in hand should not be exposed in advance. Once it appears, it may arouse Goryeo's vigilance, and then the rescue plan will fail.
After such elimination, the only option left is to win by cleverness.
For example, he could lead the friction between Fusang and Goryeo, and then transfer his own pressure away.
If this is done, it can indirectly help Xiaotong.
Just imagine, if Gao Li's attention is drawn to Fusang, won't her space for movement become larger?
The above is Qi Yu's solution to the emergency.
However, if you want to achieve this, you still need to put in some hard work.
…
The next day, Qi Dalang suddenly ordered that all the crew members put down their words and started a recreational fish hunting operation.
It is also commonly known as fishing.
Navigation and fishing are one of the compulsory skills for sailors today, and it is also the most commonly used method of tooth-beating rituals. Therefore, soldiers are no stranger to this.
What's more, Qiongzhou is an island surrounded by sea. Anyone who has lived there basically has a certain ability to catch the sea.
Catching a fish, catching a shrimp, etc. is all a matter of course.
However, there is a special order for this fishing trip: if you catch any precious fish species, do not cook them in private.
Not allowed to eat?
Yes!
It is said that it is to be given to the king of Goryeo to add color to the royal meal, so we should give it to the first three.
Isn't it just some fish? If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it.
The soldiers were all upright and behaved generously and informally.
The fish is just a prop in Qi Yu's plan, and there is nothing special about it.
The intention is to deliberately reflect the friendly interaction between Qiongzhou and Goryeo.
As long as this matter can be publicized, it can be successfully spread to the ears of Fuso scouts.
"Goryeo's shipbuilding industry is not developed, so naturally it does not have the ability to go to sea for long distances. Even though they are close to the sea, they have few opportunities to try new things, let alone rare fish species."
"Is what Mr. Qi said true or false?"
"Of course it's true! Their land is small and their resources are scarce. They don't have the best wood for making big ships. Otherwise, they wouldn't go to Australia to buy eucalyptus. Just imagine, even their warships are turtle ships for offshore operations. Not to mention it is a civilian fishing boat..."
From this point of view, the Goryeo Palace has absolutely no reason to refuse to collect fish.
Besides, Xiaotong was on a visit there. He would not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, nor would he offend his own face.
"We have to send it every day without interruption. When we send it, we have to beat gongs and drums to make noise to attract the attention of the world."
"However, seafood is very easy to spoil. If you bang gongs, drums, grind and chirp, there is no guarantee that... it will turn into smelly fish."
"Stinky fish? So what's the harm?"
"Uh, this..."
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "What I need is a happy atmosphere of teaching him to fish. I don't care whether the King of Korea will have diarrhea after eating it. Even if he does, it is something that their imperial doctors should consider, and I don't care." What does it matter?"
Well, you are the boss and you have the final say.
As subordinates, we are only responsible for handling affairs and keeping confidentiality.
Thus, Qiong Jun's fish delivery operation began.
Once a day, without interruption, rain or shine.
Once or twice, it may be considered an accidental occurrence, but if it happens every day, it is enough to attract everyone's attention.
In an instant, a heated discussion arose: I heard from the sailors from Qiongzhou who came to deliver fish that our country, Koryo, has formed a lip-and-mouth relationship with their Qiongzhou. I don’t know if this is true or not...
