In fact, Wei Meng also wanted to imitate Wang Qizhi's tactics, but his tough methods had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it would take a while for the implementation to show results. He simply couldn't wait any longer. Only by using tough methods could he quickly reduce the number of troops. Supplement it.
Wei Meng looked at the 140,000 troops and seemed to have some confidence in his heart. In order to resist the attack of Wang Qizhi's army, Xu Yuanzhi gave Wei Meng an idea, which was to disperse the 100,000 troops among the cities on the front line.
There are many advantages to doing this. If Wang Qizhi concentrates his forces to capture a certain city, soldiers from other cities can go out to attack the rear of Wang Qizhi's army. If Wang Qizhi also disperses his forces, they can stick to the city and defend it, consuming Wang Qizhi's vitality bit by bit, while the rear It is to quickly replenish the troops. I believe that it won't be long before Wang Qizhi will be dragged down by this long-term war of attrition.
Although Xu Yuanzhi's move violated the taboo of military strategists, he could not take risks at this point. Wei Meng immediately agreed to Xu Yuanzhi's idea.
During this half-year period, Wang Qizhi also brought Yan'er and Qing'er to Hanoi County, and met the son he longed for. This made him very happy, and he secretly made up his mind that Xiao Wang would be the one to play chess. The crown prince, the crown prince of the world from now on.
What made Wang Qizhi even more happy was that Qing'er had just given birth not long ago and gave birth to a daughter for Wang Qizhi. Now he had both children and a promising future.
All the generals gathered in a hall. There was a huge map behind Wang Qizhi. Pang Tong stood up and said to everyone: "Generals, the brat Wei Meng and the thief scattered hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. There are more than 20 large and small." In each city, there are as few as one or two thousand people, and as many as tens of thousands.
If we concentrate our forces to attack one city, we will definitely be attacked by soldiers from other cities. If our forces are dispersed, although we are still three times the enemy, the numerical advantage may not be so obvious, which will cause us a great loss of personnel. More importantly, it will delay our attack, so the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. "
Wang Qizhi deleted it thoughtfully and said: "It seems that Xu Yuanzhi's move is very powerful, but it is not impossible to crack. Don't forget that we still have more than 100,000 masters. If we exclude them, we must first capture a few cities and then free up our hands." , our chances of winning will become greater and greater."
Wu Anyi said: "In this case, wouldn't Wei Meng have shot himself in the foot?"
Pang Tong added: "What's more important is that Wei Meng's move of forcibly arresting young men has angered the local people. As long as we spread some rumors behind our backs, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Wei."
Erdan questioned: "Didn't we use this trick before, but it didn't work at all?"
Wang Qizhi said: "Today is different from the past. First, our previous remarks have taken root in the hearts of the people of Wei. As long as we use more force, they will definitely stand up and oppose Wei Meng's rule.
Second, now there are only four states left in Wei Meng's territory. Most of his soldiers are from these four places, so the people have no worries. We have unified all four states, and Wei Meng can still treat the families of the soldiers. Revenge?
Therefore, Wei Meng must fail this time. "
Everyone suddenly realized that they admired Wang Qizhi and Pang Tong's strategy.
Wang Qizhi stood up slowly and did not continue to arrange his troops. Instead, he talked about many things about the poor people.
He used to go out to the rivers and lakes, go deep into the lives of poor people, and learn a lot about them. For example, Wang Qizhi saw many poor families working hard all year round, one working for two people, but in the end the food they grew was not enough to pay rent to the landlord. , Those who pay taxes to the country cannot have a full meal all year round, and can only survive by hanging on to a mouthful. However, the landlords and gentry who exploit the people can eat a lot of fish and meat every day, and even if it smells bad, they will not feed it to the people.
For another example, he has seen a family where the only man in the family died of illness, and the mother could only do odd jobs to earn money. In this world, a woman has a low status, no one hires her, and a busy day is not enough for the mother and daughter to eat. , the mother ended up in a brothel, and the daughter couldn't stand what her mother did, so they eventually parted ways.
Later, the daughter lived outside and lived a life of hunger. Later, she was left behind by a man with a human face and an animal heart. This man seemed very kind, but he deceived the girl's body. She finally recognized the reality and returned to her mother's brothel to work as a worker. A prostitute.
Through these things, I just want to tell you that if we really unify the world, we must first make sure that the people have food to eat, and we can no longer let them live a life of starvation.
If I catch you doing anything to exploit the common people in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless.
When the generals heard this, they all fell into silence. They were shocked by what Wang Qizhi said. They didn't expect that such heartbreaking things existed in the world. It was so difficult for the people to survive.
At the same time, these generals secretly swore an oath in their hearts that no matter how rich they become in the future, they will not do evil things like preying on the common people.
Wang Qizhi sighed and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."
He said to Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Chong: "Before the war, it was the same as before. You spread news beneficial to us in the four states of Wei, inciting the people to become enemies of Wei Meng. At the same time, you divided the troops into more than a dozen groups and attacked more than a dozen cities. After launching the attack, the remaining cities will be handed over to Yue Tiansi and Xiuyi Messenger. I don’t know what else you have to say.”
Everyone stood up one after another, bowed their hands to Wang Qiyi, and said: "No more."
Wang Qizhi waved his sleeves and said, "Then start taking action."
"Here!" all the generals said in unison.
