I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 704 A Clash of Titans! Zhu Yin and Sun Bin!

"Of course, Brother Jiang, rest assured, as long as we defeat the Hengzhou army, your Jiang family will surely have a place in the future of Wuzhou."

Zhu Wen, beaming with joy, patted his chest and assured him.

"Gentlemen, although the Hengzhou army is strong, we are not without a chance of victory."

"Master Zhu Jiuyin has a brilliant plan, which he wishes to share with everyone so that we may work together to defeat the enemy."

Zhu Wen then glanced around at the crowd below, his voice steady.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Zhu Jiuyin.

"The art of war says, 'The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans; the next best is to disrupt their alliances; the next best is to attack their army; and the worst is to besiege their cities.' We must outwit the Hengzhou army, outfight their courage, and outmaneuver them."

Zhu Jiuyin smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"Wuzhou has a complex terrain with crisscrossing mountains and rivers. We can make full use of this advantage to lay a tight net."

"First, we need to divide our forces into three parts. One part will hold Zhao Gongming's main force in the front, preventing him from launching a full-scale attack. Another part will break up into smaller units and use the terrain to conduct guerrilla warfare, constantly harassing the enemy's supply lines and exhausting their morale. The last part will be a surprise force, hidden in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."

He gently stroked the map on the table, his fingertips gliding over each key node.

As Zhu Jiuyin explained his strategic plan in a clear and concise manner, the atmosphere in the tent was instantly ignited. Everyone listened intently or discussed it in hushed tones.

However, at this moment, a middle-aged man who had been silent all along stood up slowly. He was not tall, but his brows revealed an indescribable composure.

It was Sun Bin, who had been silently standing beside Jiang Xiaobai!

"Master Zhujiuyin's plan is indeed ingenious, but..."

"The Hengzhou army has come with great force this time, and as far as I know, Zhao Gongming's strategy along the way was devised by Guo Jia, the chief advisor under Duke Zhenguo Su Ye!"

"Guo Jia is a cunning and resourceful man with unique insights into military strategy. He may have already anticipated that we would use the terrain to wage guerrilla warfare. Therefore, our guerrilla forces must be more flexible and adaptable. They must not only harass the enemy's supply lines, but also be able to quickly assemble at critical moments to form a local superior force and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."

Sun Bin slowly looked at Zhu Jiuyin, his finger moving slowly across the geomantic map.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man to have such unique insights. He nodded slightly, signaling the other party to continue.

"Furthermore, regarding the troops that are directly containing Zhao Gongming's main force, we cannot rely solely on numerical superiority; we must also pay attention to tactical choices."

"We can set up multiple traps in this mountainous area and take advantage of the terrain to create a multi-layered defense system."

As he spoke, Sun Bin walked to the map and lightly traced several key defensive lines with his finger.

Zhu Jiuyin listened to Sun Bin's supplement and secretly admired him.

This middle-aged man's insight was indeed remarkable; he was able to find the shortcomings in his plan in such a short time and propose such a practical and feasible improvement plan.

"Mr. Sun Bin's insights are indeed unique, and I have benefited greatly from them."

"However, I have another idea that might help us further refine our plan."

Zhu Jiuyin stood up and bowed slightly to Sun Bin.

"We can set up ambushes in these locations and take advantage of the terrain to launch surprise attacks on the enemy."

"At the same time, we can create some illusions to make the enemy think that we have heavy troops guarding these positions, thereby attracting their attention and creating opportunities for our main force."

As he spoke, Zhu Jiuyin walked to the map and drew several circles on a few key points with his finger.

Sun Bin looked at the circle that Zhu Jiuyin had drawn on the map, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Zhu Jiuyin could incorporate his ideas into the plan so quickly, and even come up with such a clever ambush plan.

This made Sun Bin also look at Zhu Jiuyin's wisdom and adaptability with new respect.

The two exchanged a glance, and both saw in each other's eyes a mutual appreciation of wisdom.

The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, their arguments sharp yet complementary.

"However, even with these arrangements, Guo Jia is no pushover. He will surely find a way to break our strategy."

"Therefore, we also need to prepare some contingency plans to deal with any unforeseen circumstances."

Sun Bin changed the subject and looked at several locations circled on the map ahead.

"Mr. Sun is absolutely right. We can set up some fake supply lines, deliberately let the enemy discover them, and lure them to attack."

"Our troops can then set up ambushes near these fake supply lines and annihilate the invading enemy forces in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"This plan is good, but it also carries considerable risks."

"Once the enemy sees through our scheme, they may use these fake supply lines to set up an ambush and wipe out our troops."

Sun Bin reminded him that Guo Jia, who had long been famous under the Duke of Zhenguo, was no mediocre person.

Such a simple plan might work on a brute like Niu Mo, but how could it possibly fool Guo Jia, that drunkard!

"That's true, but it's just a side move. We need to be more careful in setting up these fake supply lines and prepare for the counterattack of the Hengzhou army."

Zhu Jiuyin nodded in agreement; he hadn't expected to lure Guo Jia into a trap with just one battle.

Dealing with such exceptionally intelligent strategists is virtually impossible unless you set up a scheme months or even years in advance, making these top strategists easily fall into your trap.

Those hastily devised schemes, unless there is a significant difference in skill between the strategists on both sides, can usually be detected with just a glance.

Therefore, the contest between top strategists is not actually decided so quickly.

Subsequently, the Yellow Turban Army under Zhu Wen and the powerful Wuzhou clans under Jiang Xiaobai joined forces like two torrents, officially uniting to resist the invasion of the Hengzhou army.

Now, Zhu Wen's Yellow Turban Army, thanks to Zhu Jiuyin's many schemes, has grown to a large number of 60,000 to 70,000. Although their combat strength is uneven and most of them are untrained rabble, their sheer size and power are enough to intimidate people.

Although the combined forces of powerful clans under Jiang Xiaobai numbered only 20,000 to 30,000, fewer than the Yellow Turban Army, they were backed by the abundant resources of these powerful clans, with ample funds and supplies, complete weaponry, and all their men fully armed and equipped, making them a formidable fighting force.

After the two armies joined forces, facing Zhao Gongming, Shebi Shi, and Xia Geng Shi, whose forces had been greatly reduced after the division and who only had 3,000 soldiers, they directly chose the strategy of overwhelming them with their superior strength.

After all, in the face of overwhelming troop superiority, any clever scheme seems so pale and powerless.
