However, he never intended for Han Shizhong to flee to a place like Yongle City, nor would he allow Yue Fei to send troops now.

But the emperor has already brought up Zhang Jie's story, so it's all too obvious that I'm going to take him by surprise!

If we say that there are three levels of warfare, the third level is simply arranging troops and charging into battle, which is the level of an ordinary commander.

Boosting morale, understanding the situation, and adapting to change are the second level, making one an excellent commander.

So, those who dare to break with convention, do what others dare not do or even think, launch surprise attacks, and control their forces with ease, are the great generals of our time!

At that time, the generals were so skilled in warfare that attacking the enemy's camp seemed as easy as taking candy from a baby; it was no longer just about fighting.

War, in his hands, is art.

Wang Shao is such a person, Zhang Jie is such a person, and Yue Fei after he matured is also such a person.

Master Zhong is a seasoned veteran, known for his composure and wisdom, but he lacks a little bit of control over his actions.

However, in his experience, it wasn't entirely impossible for Zhao Huan to fight in this way.

The main force of the Imperial Guard rushed to Hengshan and launched a frontal attack, which Han Shizhong took by surprise.

Since ancient times, the combination of orthodox and unorthodox tactics has been the sacred way of military strategy!

Zhong Shidao said, "Your Majesty's wisdom is as vast as the sea; I have learned a great deal."

Zhao Huan said, "It is all thanks to Commander Zhong's brilliant troop deployment; I was merely offering my opinion!"

Zhao Huan said shamelessly, "This isn't about giving advice; I've completely lost control of myself and am now interfering in military operations."

The emperor's unconventional thinking was nothing new, and Zhong Shidao was already used to it.

Launching a surprise attack is no problem at all, nor is feigned shallow attacks, as long as the emperor doesn't order the entire army to advance deep into enemy territory.

After all, in war, offense and defense must be combined.

Zhao Huan then summoned Yue Fei and asked, "Minister Yue, how many cavalry do you currently have in your Divine Martial Army?"

"Your Majesty, we have six thousand elite troops."

"Very good. Take these six thousand elite troops and tell Li Ganshun that I have arrived!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Remember, attack lightly!"

"yes!"

Yue Fei accepted the order, and the six thousand Divine Martial Army soldiers, like a red flame, emerged from the main force and headed into the distance.
