As soon as Kong Xian arrived at the headquarters of the army, he was very active, and in the first exercise, he pointed out the slogan of "on-the-spot training" and strongly advised Nalan Xin to make all divisions pay attention to it and prepare for a large-scale actual combat exercise.

In this regard, Nalan Xin felt unheard of and asked: How many people would have to die if a soldier was allowed to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns?

Kong Xian said: It doesn't matter how many people die, it's better than losing to the enemy.

felt unreliable, Nalan Xin didn't pay much attention to this matter, but seeing Kong Xian's vow, he asked Kong Xian to draft a copy, saying that he would take it to the headquarters for discussion. In fact, Nalan Xin was simply perfunctory, but when he saw the complete proposal, he still felt that it should really be discussed.

First of all, Kong Xi didn't let the soldiers really fight, nor did he give them weapons, but just let them train with weights, run to the place, lay an ambush, and when the other party came, it could be regarded as an ambush.

When facing the enemy head-on, it is necessary to set up formations, intersperse with each other, and calculate the consumption of troops.

This kind of training method is closer to actual combat, but it is more vivid than the usual practice of standing on the spot.

Tang Yuan read the paperwork, and directly made a decision at the general meeting, saying that it was feasible.

Director Jun Qicheng refused to allow the implementation on the grounds of "instability", "uncontrollable", "labor and money", and "intrusion on business routes".

The handsome Tang Yuan insisted on execution.

After discussion, the marshal and the superintendent army could not reach an agreement, and finally voted, Qi Cheng objected, the grain supervisor Zhao Chi abstained, the deputy marshal Chen Bao agreed, and the general staff general Nalan Xin agreed, and finally Tang Yuan thought that he would win 3 to 1.

As a result, the Flying Tiger Army began a large-scale actual combat exercise with the division as a unit and General Zhonglang personally commanding.

As soon as the "war" began, the "fighting" was vigorous.

Sui Zhou is fighting, Tang Zhou is fighting, Deng Zhou is also fighting, and even the first and second divisions of the Flying Tigers guarding Xiangcheng are also fighting.

It is said that the official road leading from Nanyang to Xinye was blocked by soldiers, and the news of the Battle of Jingbei quickly spread.

The soldiers and horses in Xiangcheng moved, and Sima Wuci, the eighth prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty stationed in Xiangyang, personally went to the city to watch, but he wanted to see what the Liang army was doing.

Similarly, the news also flew to the capital Luoyang, to Hanzhong, and to Chang'an.

Soon after, the Ministry of War, Lin Chongyang in Hanzhong, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Cao Sheng all came to inquire about the situation.

Tang Yuan said: Take precautions.

"So you didn't notify the military department?" Qi Cheng came to find Tang Yuan.

"I thought you'd inform the military department." Tang Yuan smiled bitterly.

"Hahahaha!" The two laughed. In fact, they were just scolded by the emperor just now, not only the two of them, but even the grain governor Zhao Chi was also scolded. Such a major event was carried out directly without reporting it first, do you know what it was like to scare the imperial court, and you thought that someone in Jingzhou had rebelled.

This large-scale exercise lasted for half a month, and the recruits gained a lot of experience in marching, and finally counted that the loss of less than 800 people in the 100,000 troops, of which 200 died, 300 were disabled, and the rest were missing. Love Book House

Regarding this result, Tang Yuan still felt that the casualty rate was too high, and how could he still make trouble about the drill?

The lieutenant generals were silent, and later heard Nalan Xin say that all troops wanted to save face and didn't want to lose, so sometimes the competition was too fierce, which led to real deaths.

Tang Yuan concluded: "This training method is feasible, but there is a lack of supervision, and if you act in the future, you can't do it on such a large scale, you must first do a good job of supervision everywhere, and then conduct exercises in batches to prevent this kind of thing from happening again." ”

In this large-scale drill in Jingbei, Kong Xian showed all the limelight, but Tang Yuan did not give a reward for this, and Kong Xian was quite dissatisfied in his heart.

But at this time, Zhao Guangxun came to find him and said to his nephew: "We are new to here, you have to learn to be restrained, and you can't show your edge, otherwise you will be jealous." As a 'drill officer', it is within your responsibility to put forward the exercise plan, and whether you do well or not, the commander naturally knows in his heart. If he doesn't reward you now, it doesn't mean that he won't reward you in the future, and if he doesn't give you a small prize now, maybe he will give a big prize in the future. Don't be blind. ”

"Uncle is right." Kong Xiandao.

Zhao Guangxun glanced at Kong Xian, and said, "You are soft on your lips, but you are still unconvinced in your heart." I can tell you that now that Tang Yuan is a big tree, we must hold on to it. The emperor is still young, and he is an aspiring emperor, let's follow his descendants, and sooner or later we will be able to become famous. It is more reliable than before to give the Queen Mother's life. In fact, the Queen Mother is not very old, but unfortunately she is a woman after all, and she is not ruthless enough to abolish the emperor in advance, even if she is soft-hearted and harms herself. ”

The words were a little far away, and there was a dullness in the room.

After a long time, Zhao Guangxun said in a deep voice: "I found that Tang Yuan is not as capable as the legend says, he is just lucky, plus there are really a few fierce generals around him, and he is very capable of rushing."

Many enemies were actually crushed by him. When he is commanding a small army, it is of course important to be able to charge, but this is not the way to be a commander.

He really lacks a strategist like you who has a great talent for attacking.

Although Nalan Xin can also be called a strategist, but he is also decent in the end, with him by his side, Tang Yuan will notice a lot of loopholes and make fewer mistakes, but it will not make Tang Yuan have higher combat power.

And you're not the same as Naranxin.

I think Tang Yuan will reuse you sooner or later. But I'm sure he won't be promoting you too high right away. This is also the gap between you and Nalan Xin.

Nalan Xin is not very old, but he knows how to converge. Remember, convergence is important.

In the past, it didn't matter if you were dangling sideways in the Tiger Army, at that time all the acting tactics you suggested could be executed, no matter how arrogant you were, in the end, I would support you. But what now, what am I?

After the military rank was erased by the emperor, I have not been settled until now, and I stay in the handsome department all day long, in fact, I am not even a secretary. Nobody takes me seriously anymore.

The so-called 'military appearance supervisor' is just a nice thing to say, but in fact, he is a pen secretary next to the prison army, and he usually can't control anyone, if he really writes down that to any commander and scolds me, I have to endure it.

Who told us to be later?

Some anger is to be endured until the day you stand up. ”

The uncle taught him earnestly, and when he was a nephew, he listened to some of them. From then on, he paid attention to restraining his temper and tried not to talk as much as possible. But at this time, Tang Yuan's observation and test of him was just on the right track.

But at this time, Kong Xian actually took the initiative to talk to Tang Yuan, and during the conversation, Kong Xian asked Tang Yuan this question: You have a force that can never be defeated, how did you do it? Kong Xian hoped that the general would not hesitate to give advice.

Kong Xian's words were not really asking for advice, but an attack. Tang Yuan thought for a moment, and said with a smile: I'll tell you later.
