Chapter 312 The world is victorious

8days ago Historical fiction 7
As night fell, water vapor and gunpowder were greasy, covering the battlefield with a hazy fog.This was the last night everyone stayed in the camp.

We will take the wounded soldiers and prisoners to Changde City tomorrow morning.General Wei's men and horses had already set out along the Yuanshui River. At this time, the government was already like a frightened bird. General Wei's recovery of Changde City should only be in the evening. When we arrive at the place, we will definitely take it down.

Zhu Heng said calmly in the central army tent, and Chenzhou also arranged a group of troops to go over, so it was no difficulty to capture it.The men left by Xue Lu there may be running after hearing the news...

There were still a few generals left in the central army's tent, and there were also officials from the Senate to accompany them. Because everyone had drunk some wine before, everyone's faces were red.

The battle has not yet ended, and a large number of soldiers are still fighting, and it is not time to celebrate the victory, but it does not prevent people from drinking a lot of wine in advance to celebrate the victory.

After Zhu Heng arranged the next important matter, everyone had no intention of dispersing, as if they were still immersed in the fierce battle during the day.

Can the lord play chess?What’s going on today is almost done. How about I accompany my lord to play a game?Zhu Heng asked with a pretentious ease.

Zhang Ning, sitting on the cushion in the middle, said casually: What kind of chess is Zhubutang? If you want to play chess, I will be able to make a joke, so Go will be a joke.

Only Go can be found in the army.Zhu Heng was serious. If the lord doesn’t mind, how can the temporary lord play Go?

Zhu Heng is the highest-ranking civil servant under Zhang Ning. Others kindly say that they teach chess, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting books are all elegant things in the literati, so they are hard to refuse.

Besides, Zhang Ning could only sleep in a tent in the wilderness tonight. It was nothing to do at night, so he smiled and said: This is great, I can ask experts in games.

After hearing what he said, Zhu Heng took the guards to get a pair of Go. The two of them put a simple wooden table in the middle of the cushion and put the chessboard on it.

The civil officials and generals were also interested in watching. One of the two sides of the game was the prince and the other was the chief sergeant. No matter how they played the chess, it might be interesting.

Zhu Heng picked up a white piece from the chess cup and smiled and said, "My lord is respectful, so I will make a decision without hesitation."After saying that, he placed the chess piece without thinking about it.

Zhang Ning really doesn’t understand Go very much. If modern people are not professional chess players or enthusiasts, Go is really not popular...

He is more proficient in Doudizhu.

However, although he didn't understand it very well, he knew the basic rules, and it was nothing more than the chess piece in the middle that was bounded on all sides. Moreover, he knew that the horns were taken at the beginning, and he immediately fell into a corner of the chessboard.

Ha ha.Zhu Heng smiled heartily, lord, wonderful chess.

Zhang Ning: ...

Even the people watching chess think that Zhu Heng is too obvious to flatter.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Heng said with a reasonable point: This first-hand is the simplest and the most wonderful.The lord wanted to take the corner when he started, and he was very good at playing Go, but I didn't really want to compliment.Just like when the King of Han raised an army, the lord and ministers both advised the King of Han to occupy Nanjing, it was the first move to occupy the southeast corner.

Now Zhang Ning seemed to understand that it was fake to play chess, and it was true to have something to say about strategy at this moment.

So he felt no less guilty. Although he didn't understand Go very much, he still understood it very well if he had to use chess to explain the truth.

While picking up the chess pieces, Zhang Ning randomly occupied the space on the chessboard, he followed Zhu Heng's statement and said: Priority to occupying corners is indeed a good way. Both sides are blocked by the boundaries, and the danger is less. You can calmly enclose the development situation.

Zhu Heng was also making random moves. The two of them made a move very fast, as if they were not thinking about it. The four corners on the chessboard were the same, but the four corners in the world were different.

Zhang Ning smiled and said: That's Mr. Zhu's advice.

Zhu Heng said calmly: Just say that the southeast corner occupied by the King of Han has been a place of beauty since ancient times, and the country is rich and the people are strong and can be attacked or defended.However, to occupy this corner and take a stable position, the long-term trench is not the most critical place, and one of the keys is the Huai River.Since ancient times, it has been said that "to guard the river, you must guard the Huai River." The Huai River not only provides a barrier for the Yangtze River defense line; the wide depth between the Yangtze River and Huai River also ensures the safety of the Yangtze River, so that it will not be destroyed if it is broken.So in the long run, Changji is too fragile, and people who occupy the southeast corner have never lost the precedent of the Huai River being able to survive for a long time.

Therefore, after the battle of Xuzhou, the Beijing Camp rushed south and attacked Yangzhou and Huai'an without proper preparation, and took the lead in seizing control of the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After the defeat of the Jianghuai Army, the Han Wang Army had no choice but to set up Jiang defense, which was already a mistake.

The next key place in the southeast corner is Huguang, especially Wuchang.

To ensure the integrity of the river defense, we must control the middle and upper reaches, otherwise the enemy can go down the river; even if the heavy troops defend in the middle and middle towns, it is not a good strategy.

I have repeatedly suggested that the Han King should advance to Wuchang, and for this, I offended many people, but the suggestion was not adopted.The Han King did not get the key points, and the southeast corner could not be preserved. This is a reason that was already available on the "chessboard" of the Central Plains; the Han King did not understand this game, so major events would not be accomplished.

Zhang Ning nodded frequently when he heard this and suddenly realized that it made sense.

These mysteries may be just common sense in the thousands of years of battle for hegemony, but that may be just common sense among a few people. Zhang Ning was the first strategy to hear about the corner.

He gradually became extremely interested and pondered: If the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region were compared to the southeast corner, then the southwest corner should be Sichuan?The northwest corner must be Guanzhong, the northeast corner... it should not be Liaodong. In the past, Liaodong was not the core area controlled by the Central Plains dynasty, but Hebei?

Zhu Heng bowed: The lord is right.

Zhang Ning owed his body, sat upright, and hurriedly asked: What is the Huguang we occupy? Please teach me.

Zhu Heng kept a secret and looked down at the territory: I am the master and the lord each occupy two corners, and the horn has been fought for, so it’s time to fight for the side.

It was obviously Zhu Heng who gave in to him on the Go board, so Zhang Ning was able to calmly occupy the corners, but the focus tonight was obviously not on Go.Zhang Ning suddenly said: Let’s take the edge!

For the time being, I didn’t even occupy the border. At least I had to take advantage of the victory to capture Wuchang, Yuezhou, Jingzhou and other places before I dared to say that I occupied the border.

Zhu Heng twisted his chin and said bluntly, so when he was facing tens of thousands of troops in Chenzhou, I repeatedly blocked the lord's rebellion and attacked Baoqing. It was for this general consideration that he had to take up a side to be considered shortlisted and qualified to exist in the chessboard.

Zhang Ning said: According to the saying that the trumpet is the best place, so should we not consider the best strategy to occupy the border?

Zhu Heng shook his head slightly and said: No.At the beginning of playing chess, we have to compete for the squad, just as the world has gone from governance to chaos, all heroes have to occupy their squads to accumulate momentum and not be easily swallowed up in the torrent; but now this is a special period, and it is not the general trend of governing and chasing again. The chaos is only short-lived, and it is meaningless to compete for the squad.Just as the world is unified, there is only one corner left, what's the use of one corner?Can't compete with the whole world.

I am bluntly saying that in terms of the general trend, I did not think that the King of Han and the Lord had much opportunity at the beginning, but now that things have come to this point, I can only do it even if I know it is impossible.

At this time, for some reason, you have to look at the whole market from the beginning, and there is no opportunity to accumulate momentum based on a corner; since you cannot be limited to a corner, you must advance towards the "edge".

I said: "It is better to attack than to defend." I hope the lord will remember it.

Why do we have to compete for the border?Generally speaking, those who are enterprising must compete for the borders in order to expand outward.During the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han had Yizhou (Sichuan), which occupied a corner, but he attached great importance to Jingzhou, and was fighting for the border. Without Jingzhou, Shu Han would be difficult to be enterprising... The King of Han had a southeast corner, but he was not our confidant enemy, but was beneficial to me. Therefore, we had to compete for the border. The next step in front of us was to strive to echo the southeast, so as to build momentum... Wuchang must take a place!

Zhang Ning nodded and said yes.

Zhu Heng said again: In this battle, Huguang has no strong enemies, and Yuezhou and other places are like taking photos, but it is not yet time to relax. I suggest that you prepare to advance to Wuchang as soon as possible.Then occupy Kuizhou and become powerful.

Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and asked: Are you trying to defend against Sichuan by raising Kuizhou?

Zhu Hengdao: There is a passage in "Biography of Zhang Yi" in which Qin occupied Xichuan and threatened Chu. It says this: "The large ships accumulated grain from Wenshan, floated down the river, and reached Chu more than 3,000 miles. The boat carried soldiers, and a boat carried fifty people and a March eclipse. It floated into the water and traveled more than 300 miles a day. Although there were many miles, it was not enough to use the power of a cattle and a horse, and it took less than ten days to reach the Han Pass...' and it had already revealed the mystery. The King of Han occupies the southeast corner, and I take one side. Going north is the direction of the Central Plains, so defense is the southwest corner. To take advantage of this side, as long as you occupy Kuizhou, you will be able to prevent it; Kuizhou is in hand, and there will be no major troubles in the southwest.

Zhang Ning agreed and immediately praised: I won Mr. Zhu, and I won 100,000 troops.This game of chess tonight has been taught a lot.I think that losing Jianghuai by King Han is not the biggest loss, but losing Mr. Zhu is a big deal.

Zhu Heng shook his head and sighed: I am just a literati. I cannot charge in front of me, and I cannot live my life with money and food. I only have three inches of tongues. If the king is heavy, he will be heavy, and if he is light, he will be cheap. That's all. When I was in Nanjing, I reminded Wuchang three times, but I was sneered at him. What's the point?Alas, King Xihan was mistaken by a bunch of fools.

Zhang Ning disagreed with this sentence. In history, the King of Han had not caused any trouble. If he hadn't influenced the trend in a delicate way, he would not even have the southwest corner.

However, Zhu Heng is indeed a necessary talent. Unless he gets a high-level strategist, such a person must be missing; Zhang Ning is self-aware, and forward-looking vision is not omnipotent, and he also needs a person with systematic contemporary insight...

Most of these people have made a difference and cannot be found among the common people in the market. Fortunately, there is Zhu Heng.
