Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 255 My Pharmacist Li! (3k ha)
Funing City.

Zhen Shixuan stared at the thick file in a trance. The file had already been mailed out from the army, and it would soon appear on the official's desk.

In the past few days, he and Zheng Nian'an found many civilians who had escaped. After careful questioning and combining it with Yan Zewen's report, they obtained a relatively accurate data:

In the battle where 800 cavalrymen broke through the camp, Su Yun led 800 cavalrymen against Fei Tingsheng's 5,000 infantrymen and 1,000 cavalrymen and defeated them all!
More than a thousand heads were beheaded, countless people fell into the water, Fei Tingsheng was killed, and countless food and fodder and hundreds of horses were seized.

In one battle, a Tangut army of 6,000 people was defeated!

Of course, for Zhen Shixuan, it was not a question of whether to believe or not this kind of victory result. Tens of thousands of people were watching, so it could not be fake. However, Zhen Shixuan still found it hard to believe.

How could eight hundred people defeat a camp of six thousand people so easily?

Yes, Su Yun took advantage of the time when Fei Tingsheng’s army was camping to launch a sudden attack, but which army could be approached so easily?
Everyone knows that marching, camping, and nighttime are times when the army is most vulnerable. But precisely because of this, every commander will be extremely cautious and must send out a large number of scouts. Once the enemy enters this range, they will quickly learn of it and be prepared for battle before the enemy arrives.

Zhen Shixuan keenly realized that this might be the reason why Su Da won.

But why Su Yun was able to approach the enemy quietly was not something Zhen Shixuan knew, because Yan Zewen and the people could only see the scene of the camp being attacked that night, and they naturally didn't know how Su Yun got close.

Zhen Shixuan asked Wang Shunchen this question. Wang Shunchen thought for a moment and said, "I once heard Su Jinglie talk about a strategy called blitzkrieg."

"Blitzkrieg?"

Zhen Shixuan and Zheng Nian'an looked at each other.

Zheng Nian'an asked, "Which military book is this from?"

Wang Shunchen smiled and said, "It's not the fighting style in that book. Well, there are actually some clues to follow, for example, what Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'Be swift as the wind, be slow as the forest, be aggressive as fire, be still as a mountain, be unpredictable as the shadow, and be powerful as thunder.

The blitzkrieg tactics proposed by Su Jinglüe was to attack the enemy's weak links through rapid deployment while destroying the enemy's rear defense line.

Use rapid, concentrated, and sudden attacks to psychologically overwhelm the enemy, destroy its command, and cause its general collapse without outright destruction.

As for how to play it specifically, it is hard for me to guess. I do have an idea, but it is too difficult, it is simply impossible to do it. "

Zhen Shixuan quickly asked, "What can we do?"

Wang Shunchen shook his head and said, "No, it's too difficult. It's simply impossible."

Zhen Shixuan said anxiously, "Just tell me."

Wang Shunchen smiled bitterly and said, "What I'm thinking is that the governor will lead dozens of elite soldiers to quickly hunt down Fei Tingsheng's scouts in front, creating an opportunity for the 800 cavalrymen behind to advance quickly and undetected, and then quietly approach and suddenly deliver a fatal blow!
But this is too difficult, there is no chance of success at all. The scouts are erratic, how can eight hundred cavalrymen avoid their eyes and ears and get close to the main army?

Difficult, difficult, difficult! This is an impossible task!"

Zheng Nian'an suddenly said, "Generally speaking, the further the scouts get to the periphery, the fewer people there are. There are gullies everywhere in Hengshan, and the scouts may not be able to monitor all places. Therefore, the scouts must choose a high point to observe. If they can judge and eliminate them one by one, can they get very close?"

Wang Shunchen looked at Zheng Nian'an in surprise, thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "It's not impossible for you to say that. I think it would be difficult for others to succeed, but if it's a strategic plan, maybe it can be successful."

Zheng Nian'an nodded and said, "After breaking through the outer perimeter, we can take shelter through a certain mountain road, and then quickly break through when we get within a certain range.

At that time, even if the scouts discovered it, they could only inform the rear in advance. By the time the rear knew about it, Su Jinglie's cavalry had already arrived, and it would be useless to know it at this time!"

Wang Shunchen smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief is indeed amazing. I guess the details may be slightly different, but it should be very close."

Hearing Wang Shunchen's compliment, Zheng Nian'an shook his head bitterly and said, "I can be a wise man after the event, but if you ask me to do it, I can't do it. It's not a question of courage or not, it's just that I have no way to do it!"

Zhen Shixuan didn't know much about military affairs, so he understood what Zheng Nian'an meant and asked quickly, "Commander Zheng, what you mean is that even if we know about this blitzkrieg, it would be difficult for other people to accomplish it?"

Zheng Nian'an nodded and said, "It's a difficult, even impossible task. From ancient times to the present, although there have been many successful cases of attacking camps, they were basically two armies facing each other, and the armies were already facing each other from a distance. The distance was already very close, and such a situation is still rare."

Zhen Shixuan quickly asked, "Among the generals of the Western Army, the Northern Army, and even the entire Song Dynasty, is there anyone who can do this?"

Zheng Nian'an smiled and said, "It's hard to say for sure, maybe it's true or not, but Zhen Zhonggui, you have to think like this, if other people can do it, why is it always Su Jinglie who makes great contributions?"

Oh, I see. Only Su Jinglie can do it.

Zhen Shixuan came to the conclusion directly.

Zhen Shixuan missed Su Yun very much at this time, and said: "Why hasn't Su Jinglie come back yet? It's a great achievement to destroy Fei Tingsheng. It's time for him to come back and rest, right?" Zheng Nian'an smiled and said: "It's hard to say. With Su Jinglie's youthful spirit, he might even aim at Yinzhou City."

As soon as these words were spoken, all three of them burst into laughter.

Zhen Shixuan and Wang Shunchen could naturally tell that Zheng Nian'an was joking, so they laughed together.

Naturally, no one would take this seriously.

There is no other reason, because Yinzhou City has strong defenses and is the most important castle for Western Xia to guard the border. Even if an army of 100,000 besieges it, it may not be able to be taken down. Su Yun only has 800 cavalrymen, how could he possibly attack Yinzhou City.

Just as they were laughing, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard outside, and then someone hurried in. It was Zheng Nian'an's personal soldier. Zheng Nian'an apologized and went over to talk to the personal soldier.

Zhen Shixuan and Wang Shunchen looked at Zheng Nian'an, but saw that Zheng Nian'an was stunned for a moment, and then looked at them.

Zheng Nian'an walked over quickly and said, "News came from Yanzhou City that Su Jinglue has already conquered Yinzhou City."

Ok?
Both Zhen Shixuan and Wang Shunchen found it ridiculous.

Zheng Nian'an handed the secret report handed over by his personal soldiers to Zhen Shixuan.

Zhen Shixuan took it and looked at it. He was stunned and asked anxiously, "Is the person from Yanzhou still here?"

Zheng Nian'an said quickly, "He's still here. He's a spy lurking in Yinzhou. He went to Yanzhou City. Yanzhou knows you're here, so they quickly sent him to look for you."

"Please come in quickly." Zhen Shixuan said anxiously.

The spy came over and told the whole story. Zhen Shixuan, Zheng Nian'an and the others all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ah, no, can a war be fought like this?
……

Bianjing.

Chongzheng Hall.

"This is my Huo Qubing! This is my Huo Qubing!"

Sun Sigong was a little speechless as he watched the emperor walking quickly back and forth in the Chongzheng Hall, shouting excitedly as he walked.

The military report of Su Yun's eight hundred cavalrymen attacking the camp has been sent back by the secret spy. The Song Dynasty has two systems. One is the open army, and the other is the secret spy. This is because they are afraid that the generals at the front will conceal the battle situation and also for surveillance.

Therefore, the military report from Yanzhou had not yet arrived, but the military report from the secret spy had arrived first.

"Eight hundred cavalrymen completely destroyed a camp of six thousand people, beheaded more than a thousand, and drowned more than a thousand people. The rest were scattered! Tens of thousands of civilians were saved! Su Yun is truly my cure!"

Sun Sigong quickly said, "Your Majesty, Huo Qubing died young, so it's not appropriate to make such an analogy."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded quickly and said, "That's right, the Marquis of Guanjun is the best in the world, but his short life span is indeed inappropriate. Hahaha, then he is my Han Xin. Well, that's not good either. Han Xin had a bad ending. Yes, it should be my Li Jing!
Li Weigong fought for decades in his life, made great contributions to the establishment and development of the Tang Dynasty, and also enjoyed a peaceful old age. This metaphor is appropriate! "

Sun Sigong smiled slightly when he heard this. The emperor was also happy to have lost his mind. Even though Mr. Su was powerful, how could he compare with Pharmacist Li.

Li Jing first followed Qin Wang Li Shimin to defeat Wang Shichong, and later pacified Xiao Xin and Fu Gongju in the south, and pacified the various tribes in Lingnan.

After that, he resisted the invasion of the Eastern Turks in the northern border. In the third year of Zhenguan, he led the generals to the north as the commander-in-chief of Dingxiang Road. He attacked Dingxiang at night with 3,000 elite cavalry, which frightened and defeated the troops of Jie Li Khan. He then rushed to Yinshan and destroyed the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, making the territory of the Tang Dynasty extend from the north of Yinshan to the desert!

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, he led his army to the west and defeated Tuyuhun!
Li Jing destroyed countless countries throughout his life, and all of the countries he destroyed were big powers that posed a major threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Now Su Yun has only fought a few small battles and launched a surprise attack on a military camp. Although he has already made a name for himself, he is still far behind Li Jing.

But Sun Sigong still understood the emperor very well. The emperor had worked hard for so many years, including reforming the country and amassing wealth. However, the five-pronged attack on Xia was ineffective, and Yongle City was a complete defeat. All his enthusiasm was dampened by this. But now Su Yun showed the qualities of a famous general. How could the emperor not be excited?
The news of Su Yun's great victory on the front shocked the entire court. It then spread in the city of Bianliang, and people gradually called him "Little Su Jinglüe Xianggong".

Later, Zhen Shixuan's detailed military report arrived, and Zhao Xu read it again and again, unable to put it down.

Su Yun had made great contributions, so Zhao Xu naturally had to arrange to reward him. This contribution was too great, and Su Yun was less than 20 years old, but he was already a fifth-rank official and a military governor. It was not easy to reward him.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty had a relatively complete reward system. After discussion, he was first granted a library position, a direct scholar of the Jixian Academy, and was also awarded a third-rank official uniform.
