Chapter 1475 A layman laughs, an expert laughs even more
“Pfft. Lord Zhu, he said that the Japanese pirates who landed on Shangyu will come to harass our Yingtian City?!”
“How is that possible? The Japanese pirates who landed on Shangyu So far, there are only about eighty people left. It has been just a few days since the autumn grasshoppers started to crawl. Master Zhu said that they would attack Yingtian City. This is really ridiculous. Think about it, more than 80 Japanese pirates came to attack the city. The most they could do was fight. Two ladders can only bring up two Japanese pirates at a time, but there are tens of thousands of us on the city. The defenders can drown them just by spitting. Are they going to die? Haha, don’t even think about it if you don’t have tens of thousands of troops!”
“Master Zhu, this is an emergency! Did you get your military intelligence by listening to someone's drunken nonsense in a teahouse or restaurant? ? ! "
"Haha, Lord Zhang just said that Lord Zhu knows soldiers, knows soldiers? Wow, the word "knowledge of soldiers" seems to be abused. Why do you feel that Lord Zhu is better than Zhao Kuo who talks about military affairs on paper? They are still far apart.”
"Is this the so-called knowing the soldiers?! Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm a little lost."
After Zhu Ping'an reported the emergency military situation, the originally solemn meeting scene suddenly turned into a joyful one. of ocean.
Everyone present could not help but laugh out loud. Only a few people did not laugh out loud.
Zhang Jing did not smile, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Hu Zongxian did not smile. He sat there with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was triggered to think. After a while, he shook his head again.
Yu Dayou didn't laugh either. He looked at Zhu Pingan with a puzzled look. He didn't quite believe that this urgent military information came from Zhu Pingan. When the Japanese invaders in Taizhou Prefecture were attacked, Zhu Pingan counted them with less than a hundred government officials and soldiers. Under the siege of thousands of Japanese pirates, they achieved astonishing achievements of defending the city, recovering the city, and killing more than 800 Japanese invaders. How could such achievements be achieved without superior civil and martial arts skills? ! However, how could Zhu Ping'an, who had extraordinary cultural and martial arts abilities, report such an outrageous emergency military situation? ! The Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu, a mere eighty people, dared to attack Yingtian City? !
Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong did not laugh either. Their faces were red with embarrassment and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Just now they were bragging about Zhu Ping'an's literary and military talents to the people nearby, but as a result, they were slapped in the face very quickly.
They are warriors.
They are laymen in reciting poems and painting, but they are considered experts in marching and fighting, and they still have the right to speak about it. There is a sentence in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu that says, "The art of using war is to surround it by ten, attack it by five, divide it by doubling it. If the enemy is small, it can be fought. If it is small, it can be escaped. If it is weak, it can be avoided." ”
If you want to attack Yingtian, the number of Japanese pirates on the attacking side must be not only five times or twice as many, but at least as many as the Yingtian defenders. Because the siege party has no advantage in the first place. If you are still outnumbered by the defenders and you still come to attack the city, then you are not attacking the city. You are asking for your own destruction.
There are only about 80 Japanese pirates left in Shangyu. Do you think they will attack Yingtian? !
This emergency military situation is simply a joke.
One second ago, the Marquis of Linhuai and the Duke of Wei were bragging to the people around them that Zhu Ping'an knew the military and was talented in literature and military strategy. As a result, Zhu Ping'an reported an emergency military situation like a joke, which made They were all so ashamed that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Especially, there were one or two Beijing camp commanders who were watching the fun and did not take it too seriously. They deliberately made Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong, "Haha, Duke Guo, Lord Marquis, what did you just say?" "The number one scholar knows the military skills?", "Haha, the number one scholar who has both literary talent and military skills is really eye-opening."
This teasing made the faces of Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong turn red with shame, and they wanted to lower their heads to their crotches.
Zhu Ping'an took everyone's reaction into his eyes. The reaction here was no different from the reaction of Zhitai Yamen Li, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Masters, be quiet!" Zhang Jing glanced at everyone with a serious face to maintain order at the meeting, then turned his head, frowned and looked at Zhu Pingan and asked, "Master Zhu, you said that the Japanese pirates from Shangyu are going to attack. Ying Tian, there is What evidence? !"
"My lord, I have concluded that the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu were the pioneer spies of the Japanese pirates. Said again.
"Huh? The Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu were the pioneer spies of the Japanese pirates?" Hu Zongxian muttered to himself and fell into deep thought again, but after a moment, he shook his head slightly again.
"A spy?" Yu Dayou also fell into deep thought.
After a few seconds of silence, the venue became noisy again, and everyone continued to criticize Zhu Pingan's inference.
"What? The Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu were the pioneer spies of the Japanese country? Mr. Zhu's inference is too far-fetched."
"This inference is unreliable and full of loopholes, Mr. Zhu You said that the reason why the Japanese pirates went west deep into the interior after the Shangyu landing and fought with the officers and soldiers many times led to the conclusion that they were Japanese spies. The conclusion is not rigorous enough and other circumstances cannot be ruled out. The reason why the Japanese pirates continued to move westward may be that they were unfamiliar with the place and did not know the direction and got lost. It may also be that they were deliberately misled by the righteous people. The westward advance may be a matter of making mistakes; it is also possible that the allied forces of Shaoxing Prefecture in Zhejiang are in pursuit, and the Japanese pirates have no choice but to go west in order to avoid pursuit. Huizhou Prefecture is hiding; it is also possible that the western hinterland has not been robbed by the Japanese pirates, and there is less defense and more wealth, so they go to the western hinterland to rob it; besides, aren't they turning north again now? The reason why we have repeatedly fought with officers and soldiers from various places is even simpler. This group of Japanese pirates is arrogant and domineering, and officers and soldiers from all over the country can easily trace the traces of the Japanese pirates. , Officers and soldiers from all over the country have the responsibility to exterminate the Japanese pirates. Because of this responsibility, how can the officers and soldiers from all over the country let the Japanese pirates go?"
"Master Zhu's inference is indeed novel, but no matter how you analyze and infer, it cannot be divorced from reality. There are only about 80 Japanese pirates left. How dare they attack Yingtian, which is heavily guarded? ”
"Master Zhu's inference reminds me of Zhao Kuo, who talked about military affairs on paper. He talked about empty theories, divorced from reality, and made people laugh. Taking a step back, even if Master Zhu's inference is true, the Japanese pirates came to harass Yingtian after the Shangyu landing. I know this is impossible, but if it happens, so what! There are only about 80 Japanese pirates, but I have tens of thousands of defenders. I can easily destroy this group of Japanese pirates. Japanese pirates, why bother deploying troops and setting up an ambush? If the Japanese pirates don’t come later, wouldn’t we become everyone’s joke?” Come, they will naturally see more as experts.
