Chapter 190: Take Control of the Army
"Experience is important, but it's best to get to the source." Yuan Shu said solemnly.
A very bad habit in ancient China is to judge things by experience. People are accustomed to improving on what they already have, but few people refine these things and go back to the source.
"Okay, my lord, don't preach, these shocking things should be left to you to study! We just need to take care of the implementation. Guo Jia said angrily.
As a descendant of Guigu, Guo Jia, who thinks he is proficient in military strategy, is a little suspicious of life because of the medical soldier.
What is this? Has no one discovered such a simple question for hundreds of years? Are you stupid?
Guo Jia is not arrogant, but speechless to many sages in ancient times. There are so many people in the art of war, maybe they are imprisoned by experience as the lord said!
Such a simple change can reduce most casualties by half, but there are so many art of war that no one can think of. You must know that the gap between veterans and recruits is very large, especially when you count factors such as cloud qi and legion talent.
What does it mean to cut most casualties by half? After dozens of battles, the number of remaining veterans can increase several times, and the combat power is estimated to be doubled.
More than 20 percent of the casualties were killed and wounded in one battle, and about 30 percent of the veterans were left after five battles. But if the casualties are reduced to 10%, there will be nearly 60% of the remaining veterans after five battles.
A very simple arithmetic problem is like a bloody slap on the face of the previous art of war. And this is still light, the fiercer the battle, the greater the role of the medics.
The more he thought about these things, the more headaches Guo Jia became, and he began to question his IQ. How can you ignore such a simple question?
Yuan Shu saw Guo Jia's speechless look, and laughed wildly in his heart. We can't compare to you demons in terms of IQ, but we can't stand our knowledge being wider than you! Bullying you with knowledge beyond 2,000 years of yours, you can easily doubt your life.
Jia Xu, Tian Feng and other internal affairs strategists glanced at Guo Jia and Xun You sympathetically.
It's better to engage in internal affairs and strategy, and it will never go out of style. Look at these two who are engaged in military strategy, they may be doubted at any time.
"Feng Xiao, or you follow me to strategize! Don't be a military advisor, you can't find such a simple problem. Jia Xu said sarcastically.
Guo Jia's face turned dark, and he roared at Jia Xu: "Get out!" Is this my fault? Even Sun Wu and Han Xin didn't find this problem! ”
"So you have no future in military strategy. There are generals standing over there, what do you want? Zhang Zhao scoffed.
Having focused on internal affairs for decades, he despised and envied these military strategists very much. Why do you have to do all the dirty work and wait for someone to do it, but it is these military strategies who are in the limelight in the end?
Guo Jia's forehead was bruised: "If you have the ability, you will take an army all the way to fight with me?" See if I don't beat you until you cry! ”
Zhang Zhao turned his face disdainfully and stopped talking. Just kidding, I'm a person who is engaged in internal affairs and you are a military strategy battle, my brain is pumped!
At the critical time, it was the good old man Lu Su who stood up: "Okay, okay, the military strategy and internal affairs are indispensable." We have different divisions of labor, but there is no distinction between superior and inferior, so why should we be angry here? ”
Yuan Shu sat happily on it and watched a few goods arguing around. It's better to be lively! The serious and cold atmosphere really didn't suit me.
glanced at the corner of his eye, but found that Tian Feng was looking at him with an unkind face, and hurriedly sat up straight and said: "Okay, you are all the ministers of the humerus under my command, why do you have to argue about some trivial things?" ”
Tian Feng looked away at this time, and instead glared at Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao and roared: "The lord is above, what kind of system have you two become like this!" ”
Tian Feng is Tian Feng, a direct minister who is not arrogant, Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao, who originally wanted to continue talking, suddenly fell silent, lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.
Tian Feng's anger did not subside, so he first took Zhang Zhao, his own person, and said: "Zibu! How about the steel filling method and the new repeater that you supervised the research and development? Is the craftsman rating system in place? If you don't get your own business done first, you have time to quarrel here! ”
Zhang Zhao looked at his nose and nose and heart, looking humbly. Tian Feng, with his upright personality and excellent internal affairs ability, is now a well-deserved head of the internal affairs advisers under Yuan Shu.
Although Zhang Zhao's internal affairs ability can be regarded as the first person under Yuan Shu's command, because his personal morality is not as upright as Tian Feng, he has to succumb to it.
Like Zhang Zhaozhang and Gu Yong, who are full-time engaged in internal affairs, their status is not low, their merits are not small, and they are safe and stable, but it is really difficult to really become the first person in the monarch's heart.
It's just that Yuan Shu failed, and they patted their butts and switched to others anyway, anyway, their abilities are here, and they haven't been on the battlefield or have grudges with others, and their status will not be shaken at all.
Before the Battle of Chibi in history, Zhang Zhao and the others learned that Cao Cao's southbound people all wanted to surrender, not only because the odds of victory were really low, but the most important thing was that they had no loss if they surrendered, it was nothing more than that the lord on the surface had changed people.
Those who engage in internal affairs are such scoundrels, unlike those who engage in military strategy and may provoke the other party, they are completely tumblers who have no quarrel with the world. It does not provoke hatred and does not pose any threat to the ruler.
After the change of masters, the ruler still needs to rely on them to manage his subordinates, and they are not harmed at all. Since ancient times, it has been mostly the surrender of the civil master and the main battle of the military, which is the truth.
Zhang Zhao and others have a good sense of belonging to Yuan Shu, but they are not willing to die for Yuan Shu. Therefore, Tian Feng, who is not weak in internal affairs, has undoubtedly become the leader of the internal affairs ministers.
After accusing his own people, Tian Feng scolded Guo Jia again: "Fengxiao, have you done a good job of planning in Yizhou?" There are more than 20 restaurants in Jinling, large and small, and you have a lot of credit, and many businesses have reported to me! If you don't pay it back, I'll put you in jail and make you squat for two months! ”
Guo Jia also sat slightly embarrassed, his eyes lowered as if he was studying why his shoes were dirty. This is good wine, but there is a fierce wife at home, and there is no money to drink when you go out, so you can only take credit in the restaurant, and occasionally come to Yuan Shu here to ask for help and fight the autumn wind.
After seeing that each of them played fifty boards, these two goods were honest, and Tian Feng reluctantly breathed a sigh.
"Zijing, how is the ideological education of the soldiers?" Yuan Shu saw that the scene was quickly suppressed by Tian Feng, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, and continued to ask questions about the army.
How to completely control the army? Yuan Shu is too clear. Brainwash!
Think about the army of the Chinese Empire, why is it so strong and loyal and reliable? It is because of the good conduct of ideological education that everyone understands what they are fighting for, and everyone has the same persistence and belief.
At the mention of this, Guo Jia and Xun You began to feel uncomfortable again. Zhang Jiao's method of fooling people was so good, they didn't even think to borrow it.
This kind of brainwashing is not an ordinary simple task. It's nothing more than shouting slogans a few times a day before eating and training, but the effect is really significant.
Now these slogans of loyalty to Yuan Shu, loyalty to Jiangdong, and fighting for parents, wives and children have been rotten in the army. Some things will form a conditioned reflex and be engraved into the subconscious. Yuan Shu played this routine.
Moreover, Yuan Shu also found some poor scholars from time to time to talk about history, the changes brought about by the arrival of Yuan Shu, and the beautiful tomorrow with Yuan Shu. Coupled with the sumptuous meals every day, the generous salaries and the bereavement benefits of the dead soldiers, the loyalty of Yuan Shu's soldiers to Yuan Shu is really high.
Now that they can pull out any soldier in the barracks, they can bring the benefits that Yuan Shu brings to them. In addition to the private soldiers of no more than 100 people in the army, they are basically fans of Yuan Shu.
Guo Jia even suspected that once the main general rebelled, he might not have to wait for anyone to take action, and the soldiers under his command could rush up and hack him to death.
