Chapter 1180 The Enemy Is in Honnoji Temple

"My humble name is Xu Zhong. I dare not bother you!" The guard leader responded. He called himself a humble name, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. He spoke frankly and had the demeanor of a gentleman.

For the person he liked, Wu Yi did not mind explaining more. He said: "Besiege Wei to save Zhao, although in the history books, it means to besiege the enemy's capital so that the enemy has to rescue it, and the siege will be lifted. You should know this."

Xu Zhong nodded and waited for Wu Yi to elaborate.

"This strategy turns passivity into initiative, making the enemy exhausted, and finally choosing a battlefield that is favorable to oneself, waiting for the enemy to tire out. What is really important is not whether to besiege the enemy's capital, but the target of the attack is something that the enemy has to save, such as cutting off the enemy's food supply and burning the enemy's food and grass, which can also force the enemy to turn around and save the food!"

Xu Zhong nodded as if he understood, and asked: "So, sir, are we going to burn the enemy's food and grass?"

Wu Yi did not answer directly, but asked: "If you are the enemy general, in what situations will you give up the duck in front of your mouth and turn around to save the situation?"

Xu Zhong bowed and said: "Please tell me clearly, sir!"

Wu Yi said: "Don't worry, the Hengchuan Mountains are high and the forests are dense. You still have a lot of time to think about it. When you feel that you have understood something, you can talk to me again!"

Xu Zhong didn't understand what Wu Yi really meant. Could it be that he was worried that he would leak military secrets? After all, since ancient times, the most important thing for marshals is to ensure that the strategy is not obvious and the information channels are unobstructed.

Wu Yi smiled lightly, without much explanation, and let him think about it on his own.

In fact, to answer this question, the content to be thought about is much broader. If Xu Zhong does not know much about the situation of the Eastern Army and these small countries, he is destined to not understand it. Since he cannot understand it, even if Wu Yi tells him, he may not understand it.

From Wu Yi's previous answer, if Xu Zhong is more careful, he can actually understand Wu Yi's strategic goal.

Although what King Yong wants is just to repel the enemy, for Wu Yi, repelling the enemy is only the basic goal. When the enemy retreats, ambushing along the way and saving the situation is Wu Yi's real purpose.

It is not a skill to throw away the burnt dishes, but it is a skill to develop new dishes with burnt dishes. How could Wu Yi let go of this great opportunity easily?

Great changes, great changes, the ups and downs of luck and calamity, only in this process, the heart, demon, body, of course, including the human body, can have the greatest harvest.

First, the Daji Dynasty was aggressive and had a tendency to unify the east in one fell swoop. Then the inner demon body intervened, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Wen Conglong was almost wiped out, and the situation of the small country improved.

Now, the human body appears on the battlefield to change the situation of the war again. Whether the luck rises or falls, it is all under Wu Yi's control. It is the same as using all living beings as chess pieces and the world as a chessboard.

However, when you regard other people as chess pieces, you should also worry about whether you will be backfired one day. This is a relative process.

Back to the previous question, for the enemy generals, what will happen after it happens that will make him give up annihilating Wen Conglong and choose to turn around and defend.

Don't say you are worried about the revenge of the Daji Dynasty. In fact, the weaker you are, the stronger the ambition of the Daji Dynasty to annex you. On the contrary, you can win real respect only if you show enough strength.

After annihilating all of Wen Conglong, if someone wants to attack again in the future, they will have to think twice. One battle can keep peace for at least half a century. The benefits are too great. What else is more important than this?

Of course, if Wu Yi can threaten the safety of the capitals of these small countries, the capitals will fall, then this is possible.

However, as Xu Zhong said, with this amount of troops, it is basically impossible to break through the enemy's capital unless a surprise attack or fishing in troubled waters. On Wen Conglong's side, the danger is getting worse day by day, and the risk of being annihilated is increasing day by day.

Wu Yi can't afford it. In addition, these small countries are multinational coalition forces that can piece together 70,000 troops. It is not very useful for you to threaten a certain capital. At most, it will make the troops of this country withdraw from the battle.

Therefore, the reason for the withdrawal must be the reason why all small countries have to withdraw their troops, not the reason of a small country itself.

What is the matter that will make all the small countries wary and worried? Of course there are. What Wu Yi is going to do this time is to shake the foundation of these small countries.

What is the foundation of their country? In fact, it is two words-Eastern Army!

Because the Eastern Army hopes to maintain its system and continue to collect military expenses from the court, it deliberately allows these small countries to establish their own countries, and even allows some nephews and nephews who have blood relations with them to establish their own countries. They are as good as a pair of pants.

But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the existence of these restless small countries that the Eastern Army can continue to exist. This is a win-win situation for them.

The high-level officials of the Eastern Army originally thought that this time the expansion of the border by the King of Yong was just for fun, so they destroyed some small countries. Later, the King of Yong was ambitious and wanted to achieve the unrealized achievements of his ancestors in one fell swoop. The high-level officials of the Eastern Army came forward to suppress it.

This time, Wen Conglong was in danger, and the other three troops happened to be in a bitter battle at the same time, unable to withdraw troops, so that the King of Yong sent his guards in embarrassment. Do you really think it is a coincidence? Too naive.

In essence, Wen Conglong's danger this time was an attempt by the top leaders of the Eastern Army and small countries to block the King of Yong.

It is hard to say whether it was the bandits or the soldiers in bandit's clothes who blocked Wen Conglong's food and grass. Wu Yi knew the truth.

It was because he understood this point in this incident that King Yong said sadly: "As long as we can repel the enemy, we will be safe, how can we talk about defeating the enemy!" Being enemies with a group of small countries is the same as being enemies with the Eastern Army.

The enemy is in Honnoji Temple (Honnoji Temple is the place where Oda Nobunaga, one of the three great men of the Japanese Warring States Period, was assassinated. Because he was assassinated by his own people, this proverb generally refers to the enemy inside). Managing such a huge dynasty requires too many compromises. Even the emperor has to delegate power to the local authorities sometimes.

King Yong is really young, which is why he caused this danger. According to the development of the situation, if nothing unexpected happens, Wen Conglong and the 50,000 troops under his command will be wiped out as a lesson for King Yong to violate what he should not violate.

Wu Yi's arrival is like a butterfly that has flapped its wings, but whether it can form a hurricane in the end remains to be seen.
