Su Mo pointed at the map and said, "We are cavalry, so we must play to the advantages of cavalry. The Art of War says that if we can seize the enemy's strengths, then the enemy will be defeated; if we can catch the enemy by surprise, then the enemy will be defeated. We should always use our strengths to attack our weaknesses, not use our weaknesses to attack our strengths. Don't give up the easy and pursue the difficult, and don't forget the enemy while knowing the advantage."
The meaning of this passage is: If you can seize the conditions on which the enemy relies, he will surrender; if you can attack the enemy unexpectedly, he will be defeated. We should always use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and never use our weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths. ... We should not only consider ourselves but also neglect understanding and studying the enemy.
Uncle Wei Qixin and his nephew came over and happened to hear Su Mo's words. They couldn't help but look at each other.
Wei Qinghu: This guy is very knowledgeable when it comes to talking about the art of war.
Wei Qixin: He is indeed a good candidate for son-in-law, what a pity.
The marriage between General Dingguo's Mansion and the Duke Zhenguo is a hurdle that Your Majesty cannot pass.
Don't you consider His Majesty?
What a joke! If they dare to have an affair, this wedding will turn into a funeral, believe it or not?
Wei Qixin immediately gave up the idea of having this son-in-law in his mind, and walked over happily to greet Su Mo and the others.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Zhenguo and all the soldiers. Today we made rice dumplings wrapped in reed leaves, a specialty of the south, and sent them over for the soldiers to taste."
Everyone quickly stood up to greet them. Su Mo also stood up and said with a smile, "General Wei Er is too polite. Please take a seat. General Wei Xiao, please take a seat as well."
Su Qi and Su Ba quickly took the basket, took out a rice ball wrapped in reed leaves and placed it beside the big rock, and told the soldiers to carry the rest to the wounded.
This action made Wei Qixin and Wei Qinghu look at each other again.
A commander who knows how to care for his soldiers, especially the wounded, will have his hands die with him, and will be able to move forward without any worries.
This also echoes the saying in the art of war: Love your soldiers as you would your sons, and you will be sure of victory!
Wei Qixin sighed: It seems that this young Duke of Zhenguo knows how to use troops!
Su Mo motioned for them to sit down without even glancing at Wei Qingduo and Cui Liu behind them.
Wei Qingduo stood beside Brother Xiao openly and looked at Su Mo openly.
Su Mo felt her hot gaze, then raised his eyes and glanced at her.
His eyes were calm and without any emotion. Just a casual glance, but the aura of a superior in him shocked Wei Qingduo.
Su Mo inherited the position of Duke of Zhenguo since he was young, and learned how to govern a country and lead an army.
He was surrounded by princes, emperors, generals, assassins and generals with swords in hand.
Now he had just been through a fierce battle, so his aura of an iron-blooded soldier and his noble temperament were perfectly integrated together.
Coupled with his handsome appearance that was unique to northerners, Wei Qingduo was impressed by this man at first sight.
There are also many handsome men in the Dingguo Army, including the two cousins Wei Qing and Wei Qingyun. They are the best among men in terms of appearance and temperament.
But she just felt something was wrong, and she couldn't tell what it was. She just felt that this man was like a god, with light glowing from his body.
His angular face, his slightly wrinkled brows, his high nose, his tightly pursed lips, even the strand of hair hanging from his temples, she thought they were all so beautiful, so beautiful that it made her kneel down in devotion.
"Thump, thump"
Wei Qingduo clearly heard the sound of her heartbeat.
She swore that she would marry this man.
Su Mo invited Wei Qixin and his nephew to sit down, pointed at the map and said, "The most important ceremonial guard of the King of Southern Xinjiang is the elephant soldiers. If we can repel the elephant soldiers, the morale of the Southern Xinjiang army will be disrupted."
Traveling south with Song Jinxiu, he naturally knew what the little girl was thinking.
She wanted to unify Southern Xinjiang, so since she came to Southern Xinjiang, she took the initiative to ask to attack the elephant army of the King of Southern Xinjiang.
Wei Qixin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Oh? Did the Duke of Zhenguo come up with a strategy for using troops?"
Su Mo nodded: "Yes, it is an idea, but it is not yet fully developed. The two generals are here at the right time to help with the staff."
During these battles, he did not fight the elephant soldiers blindly relying on his own courage. He personally explored and understood the advantages and disadvantages of the elephant soldiers.
It was no use just relying on hearsay or the descriptions of the Dingguo Army soldiers. Only by personally investigating the situation could he formulate the most advantageous strategic plan.
Therefore, he was never idle during these times. He was thinking hard and planning a new battle.
If the war in southern Xinjiang is resolved sooner, he can return to Beijing with his little girl to discuss a marriage...
Su Mo pointed to the map and said, "If we lure the elephant army into a narrow valley, we can curb the movement of the elephant soldiers.
We set up ambushes at the mouth of the valley and on both sides of the narrow road. If the elephant army is in a panic, all the crossbows will be fired, and the elephant soldiers will inevitably be in chaos. ”
Wei Qinghu's eyes lit up: "The elephant soldiers are in chaos and trample on each other. We can defeat the enemy without fighting. We just need to wait and pick up the remnants. It's really a good strategy."
Wei Qixin nodded, then frowned and said, "The King of Nanjiang is not a fool, what if he doesn't fall for it?"
Wei Qinghu also said: "Yes, the plan is a good one, but how can we lure them in? If they stay in the city, then we will be helpless, right?"
Su Mo's eyes shone, and he said, "If he doesn't come out, I will send troops to attack the city."
"Attack, attack the city?"
Uncle Wei Qixin and his nephew looked at each other and their faces suddenly became serious.
Wei Qitong said: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
If they attacked the city, it would mean officially declaring war on the Southern Xinjiang Dynasty. This is completely different from the current border defense war where both sides are fighting back and forth!
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask the emperor for permission."
Su Mo looked at the two of them, smiled and said, "I met your Majesty before we set off, and your Majesty also expressed the same idea. The King of Southern Xinjiang has repeatedly provoked and violated the border, and even sent their saint to participate in the planning of the Yin King's abdication. In this situation, if we don't fight back, what will the surrounding countries think?"
Wei Qixin's uncle and nephew were stunned, because they knew about Prince Yin's conspiracy to force the emperor to abdicate.
It's just that the people of Cangwu are poor and the country is weak. They are used to defense and have never thought about straightening their backs to attack.
"Okay, since His Majesty has given the order, what are we afraid of? But these elephant soldiers are indeed troublesome, so let's follow the Duke's plan and use the city as bait to lure the elephant soldiers into the canyon."
Everyone talked and offered suggestions.
Su Mo listened to everyone's discussion, nodded from time to time, and agreed with a few words.
Wei Qingduo looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with admiration, love, excitement, determination and determination to win him over.
She picked up a rice dumpling wrapped in reed leaves, peeled off the reed leaves on the outside, and quietly placed it in front of Su Mo.
Su Kui took it as soon as he saw it, and said to her with a grin, "Thank you, Miss Wei. We can handle this little thing."
As he said this, he took a bite: Hmm, sweet and delicious.
Wei Qingduo glared at him depressedly: Who gave you food? You have a pockmarked face and a beard.
But he just called himself Miss Wei, and she blinked: "Do you know me?"
Su Kui nodded: "Well, I heard what you Dingguo Army said. Hey, Miss Wei, can you peel another one for me?"
Wei Qingduo: "You don't have hands? Peel them off yourself."
Su Kui: If you want to strip yourself, then strip yourself. Don’t you think anyone can see that your eyes are glued to our master. However, our master is a grass master. Hehehehe…
