"Who can't understand the great truth?" Zheng Yunming said: "The reality is that the generals of the Song Dynasty were not selected, the soldiers were not trained, the horses were pitiful, and the armor and equipment were not excellent enough. How could such a mob compete with the elite Mongolian army in a hundred battles? Now among the generals of the Song Dynasty, there are no one who can compete with the Mongolians in the wild and win. How could they, as you said, attack the enemy first and kill the invasion of the Hu people in the brewing process?"

"It is because the method used is wrong. Sun Tzu's martial arts is very evident, so if you can guard it, it is better to avoid it. The word "avoidance" does not mean avoiding war, but rather avoiding its edge and attacking it to disperse."

He saw Zheng Yunming looking at the candlelight swaying, and seemed not listening carefully, so he stopped and looked at Zheng Yunming.

"Don't worry about me, you continue." Zheng Yunming said with a blank expression on his face.

"We are not as good as the Hu people in the current army. Therefore, we retreat and defend the city, so there is no problem with this idea. But the Song Dynasty has another way, which is to not engage in large-scale field battles with the enemy, but to break them into pieces, hide them in places that the enemy does not notice, and then use unconventional tactics such as ambush, raids and night attacks to eliminate the enemy's scattered scattered soldiers. The accumulation of small amounts becomes large, and the armpit becomes fur."

It turned out to be guerrilla tactics. Zheng Yunming retorted: "In front of a strong enemy, guerrilla combat is indeed the best counterattack method, but you know that guerrilla combat is not that easy. Compared with a dignified formation, the requirements for the quality of soldiers and the courage of generals are much higher. Let me ask you, what is the most important thing in guerrilla combat?"

"The most important thing is the tip." Chen Jiao replied quickly: "Only useful intelligence can launch guerrilla warfare. If the intelligence is not effective, there will be problems wherever the team is leading, let alone war."

"That is, guerrilla tactics are first in intelligence. But the reality is that the Mongolians did a better job in the battlefield than ours. Their Red Army can drive 200 miles a day and night, but we can only rely on human resources to investigate, deliver information and beacon towers in the village. On the battlefield, the intelligence is much behind the enemy. How can we carry out guerrilla warfare?"

Zheng Yunming said: "The difficulty is not only that. The essence of guerrillas is to go after fighting, but the enemy uses a horse team and finally leads the enemy into a trap for surrounding. Reinforcements gather around in less than a few hours. Instead, they form an encirclement of our army. You talk about ambushing wars. As soon as the enemy enters the ambush circle, they find that the momentum is wrong and they are on horseback and flee. In addition, guerrilla squads are active in the enemy occupied areas. How to ensure food and grass? How to boost morale? How to avoid soldiers from fearing the enemy and killing civilians to take credit for their heads?"

"Everyone is a problem. If these problems are not solved, how can you start guerrilla warfare at will?"

"But it is impossible to solve it by sitting down." Chen Jiao said firmly: "The only solution is to explore from actual combat."

"Chen Jiao is not talented, please ask the governor to take 300 soldiers and 15 warships under the guise, and then try to carry out guerrilla warfare in Xiangfan. After these questions have clear answers, we will gradually expand the scale."

"Three hundred is too much, one hundred." Zheng Yunming's bargaining face sometimes even Bai Yijie couldn't help but feel aversion: "In addition, I will write a warrant, and you will go to the Zhongyi Army led by the envoy to take fifty people. The Zhongyi Army is all soldiers who have been sent to the north. You can choose some people who are familiar with the situation in the north, mix them together to train, and tell the Qin regime that there is no need for the best soldiers, but they must be the most suitable for fighting such impermanent battles."

Chen Jiao replied: "It's just that fighting is not enough to have the strength to do it. It's a clever word. All the people can cut half of them off, but I only want the best boats. I want ten fully equipped water whistle horses, as long as new boats, not old ones."

"This matter is easy," Zheng Yunming said: "I asked the navy troops stationed in Ezhou to allocate you. In addition, I can also give you thirty bamboo and forty crossbows. As long as you carefully figure out how the guerrilla warfare of the Mongolians should be carried out."

"If you go well," Bai Yijie said: "We can consider mobilizing the powerful men of Ezhou, Xiangyang and Jiangling to allocate 5,000 militias to specialize in guerrilla warfare. At that time, not to mention the chief, general and deputy general, you have to do the commander!"

He put his hand on Zheng Yunming's shoulder: "Did you see Zheng Dutong? The country will not be stingy with official positions for truly talented and knowledgeable young people."

"Don't learn from me, don't learn from me." Zheng Yunming waved his hand: "It's better to take steady steps step by step. Promoting too fast is not a good thing. First, focus on doing what is in front of you, and fame and fortune will come to your door by yourself."

When Chen Jiao said Zheng Yunming's words to Qin Wu intact, he originally just used them as a joke to bring them closer together.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wu hugged his hands and sighed: "At his age, he can actually understand the principle that high places are so cold."

Since being placed under the direct jurisdiction of the General Inspectorate, Qin Wu and the Jing-E General Inspectorate had less contact. Although Zhao Kui still asked him to lead the team to act with Zheng Yunming when he went to the expedition, the two armies of training and management of the military camp had been dealt with separately on weekdays. Zhao Kui also invited Qin Wu from time to time to entertain the General Inspectorate or host banquets or handle official duties, which was obviously a focus on winning over.

Sometimes even the generals and staff of the Deputy Chief General Office of Jinge complained to Zheng Yunming that it seemed that Qin Wu was no longer a general under Zheng Yunming.

"It's all for the country to serve, and there's no need to divide each other." Zheng Yunming comforted everyone like this. He also understood that with Qin Wu's nature, Xiao Zhao could not win over it in just a few words.

After reading Zheng Yunming's order, Qin Wu ordered a deputy general to send 50 people to arrive. He said to Chen Jiao: "These are all athletes under my command. They are all skillful players with first-class agility. You can use them. Guerrilla combat is the most powerful and fast, and there are not many agile men."

When he was in the north, he had the experience of bringing dozens of subordinates to attack the Mongolian army everywhere in the mountains and fields. Naturally, he knew that guerrilla warfare was not that easy.

After Chen Jiao thanked and resigned, Qin Wu asked the deputy general: "Where has Bi Zhanjun gone?"

Bi Zilun was a general who led troops in the Jin Dynasty. Since joining Zheng Yunming's shogunate, he has put forward many detailed opinions on Zheng Yunming's management of the army. Since managing the Zhongyi Army with Qin Wu, he has inquired in detail and personally. Qin Wu was fashionable and young in the north. Although he has made outstanding contributions and has a reputation, he is actually just a low-ranking officer. He is not very clear about how to manage the army and command it. Thanks to Bi Zilun's assistance, he arranged the affairs of thousands of Zhongyi Army in an orderly manner.

But what Bi Zilun did in the Zhongyi Army was not just to assist in the military.

The deputy general replied respectfully: "Bi Zhanjun went out hunting with several generals in the battalion in the morning."

Qin Wu frowned. When Bi Zilun arrived in the camp, he either brought these northern generals to hunt or drink. The atmosphere was very warm. Bi Zilun naturally had his own plan. When it did not affect Qin Wu's prestige, Qin Wu did not intend to take action. Moreover, some generals who had a good impression of the Southern Dynasties and a group of new young generals gathered around Qin Wu. These young people had a relatively indifferent relationship with the north and admired Qin Wu's extraordinary martial arts.

As long as this delicate balance in the Zhongyi Army was still maintained, Qin Wu did not intend to take restrictive measures against Bi Zilun. He once asked Zheng Yunming what he had shown Bi Zilun back then, so he insisted on his revival plan so stubbornly. But Qin Wu knew that millions of strong soldiers in the north, as well as the Central Plains, could not stop the trauma of Mongolian iron hooves. Now, with nothing, it is like a mirror and a moon to revive the country.

But Bi Zilun obviously didn't think so. When he returned to the camp to meet Qin Wu, his expression of joy still did not retreat.

Qin Wu put down the "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand and said with a smile: "I am in a good mood today when joining the army."

Bi Zilun saw that there was no other person in the tent and said happily: "Today I captured an enemy soldier on the border. According to him, Huizhou is still in the hands of Dajin! It is rare that the emperor has been killed for more than two years, and there are such loyal and righteous people in Dajin!"

Qin Wu was slightly shocked and asked, "Who is defending Huizhou now?"

"It's Hui, Lanhe, Tao and other places, the marshal Guo Xiama." Bi Zilun said: "I have been away from the north for a while. Is this Guo Xiama a newly-known general in recent years?"

Guo Xiama had gained fame in the northwest for a while. He was originally a native of Huizhou, and joined his brother as a local tyrant to serve in the Jin Kingdom. In the war with Xixia, the Guo brothers made many contributions. Later, the elder brother died in battle. Guo Xiama led his own army and worked hard with Xixia and Mongolia. He was promoted to Hui, Lan, He, Taodu Marshal, and was aware of Fengxiang Mansion, and stayed in Huizhou.

Qin Wu said: "I only heard that Marshal Guo of Huizhou is very good at archery. He can shoot under the ribs a hundred steps away and hit every shot. Such a brave general guarding Huizhou, the Mongols had no choice but to do anything to him for a while."

Bi Zilun said hatefully: "It's a pity that Wang Shixian failed the emperor's favor and actually conquered Gongzhou first, killed Marshal Niange, and surrendered to Mongolia. Otherwise, Shaanxi and Gansu could still make a difference."

"That's true." Qin Wu shook his head and said, "If Wang Shixian had not surrendered yet, he could still support Huizhou and look forward to support him from afar. Now that Wang Shixian has surrendered, he will inevitably lead Lintao troops and fight Huizhou for the Mongols. Even if Guo Xiama is brave, he is already a lonely boat under Wang Ocean. I think this autumn should be his doomsday."

Bi Zilun said firmly: "There are loyal ministers and good generals of the country, so they must not let him die like this."

"What are you going to do?" Qin Wu asked: "Ganzhou is thousands of miles away from Xiangyang, and there are barriers in the middle. Are you going to take a few thousand people to Huizhou to assist in the war?"
