Chapter 121: The Most Important Part
Cao Cao reported to his home.
Huangfu Song didn't reply, just looked Cao Cao up and down, and he remembered that early in the morning, Cao Cao said that he had read at least eight or nine military books.
Hehe...
Huangfu Song laughed disdainfully in his heart, his eyes raised, this Cao Cao is not tall, but the light in his eyes is confident and sincere.
Cao Cao saw that Huangfu Song was silent, and thought that he was especially angry with himself, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and apologized: "General, please forgive me for speaking wildly in the big tent early in the morning!" β
"It's okay!" Huangfu Song waved his hand, and his heart gave birth to the idea of further testing him, and asked coldly: "Since you have read many kinds of military books?" So what is the difference between these military books? β
"The difference?" Cao Cao paused slightly, and then replied in an orderly manner: ""Guiguzi" often conceals the strategy invisibly, and the decisive victory is in the strategy planned in the morning, which is especially full of the ingenious layout of the battle. "The Art of War" is about the coordination of warfare, and "Mozi" advocates both love and non-attack, and some of the defensive strategies mentioned in it are quite effective, and his strategy of defending the city has benefited me a lot..."
"Guiguzi", "The Art of War", "Mozi", "Sima Law"... In a series of several books on the art of war, Cao Cao told the difference, and put forward his own feelings.
"That? What about your son's "Thirty-Six Strategies"? "Huangfu Song deliberately proposed this one." Is this one a story? How do children get around? β
"No!" Cao Cao waved his hand..."Although this "Thirty-six Strategies" was written by my six-year-old child, the grasp and judgment of the battlefield situation and the hearts of the warring parties on the battlefield contained in it are no less than any military book!" β
"Oh!" Huangfu Song sneered: "Then what do you mean? Is your son Sun Wu alive? β
This...
Hearing this, Cao Cao was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
If you have to talk about the formation of Cao Shuo's art of war, it is just a cranky thought in his mind, the so-called three avenues, in which countless villains conquer... For the ultimate victory, all methods are exhausted, which is nothing more than conjecture!
If you really want to talk about actual combat, you may not be able to come out on top.
Seeing Cao Cao's dumb mouth, Huangfu Song did not pursue it, anyway, he subconsciously said that Cao Cao was just a gentleman who relied on his son, Lao Tzu, and his ancestors.
"What do you think? How is "Wu Zi's Art of War"? β
Huangfu Song then asked, he used soldiers to respect the "Art of War of Wu Zi" the most... Cao Cao didn't mention it before, but Huangfu Song was curious about Cao Cao's understanding of "Wu Zi's Art of War".
"Wu Zi's Art of War mainly discusses the starting point of war!"
Cao Cao preached in detail. "Wu Zi opposes war-oriented, advocates internal cultivation of literature and morality, external management of military equipment, "Wu Zi's Art of War" combat ideas from "Sun Tzu's Art of War", of which "Tuguo" chapter, is from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" of 'soldiers are victorious, not expensive for a long time', of course, it also has its own experience, such as "Expected Enemy" chapter, expounding how to judge the enemy's situation? How to defeat the enemy can be described as incisive, compared to "The Art of War", which is better than the blue; The skill of victory and defeat mentioned in the chapter of "Governing the Army" does not lie in the number of generals, but in the strict laws and regulations, clear rewards and punishments, and the cohesion of the commander; The correct methods of warfare under different circumstances mentioned in the "Contingencies" chapter are also very incisive, and they are guided according to the situation, and the army is like water, and the victory is over the invisible ......"
From Cao Cao's answer, Huangfu Song could feel that he was by no means temporary, he had really read so many military books, except for the so-called "Thirty-six Strategies" written by a six-year-old child, which was quite absurd, the other explanations were quite wonderful!
However, no matter how wonderful it is, it is only on paper.
"Stop!"
Huangfu Song interrupted Cao Cao's speech and took the initiative to ask questions. "Since you are familiar with military books, you must know? What is the most important link on the battlefield? β
Hearing this, Cao Cao didn't think about it, and immediately replied. "It is the commander's control of the three armies and the control of the battlefield, only by uniting the three armies, improving morale, and uniting the soldiers can we be invincible!"
"Haha!" Huangfu Song was born with a light smile. "Then how can we unite the three armies? How can we improve morale and how can we unite our soldiers? β
"Care about your subordinates, put yourself in their shoes, care about their suffering, and love them as your own brothers!" Cao Cao's tone was firm.
"How to love?" Huangfu Song then asked.
"Thisβ" Cao Cao hesitated visibly, he stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one. Let them eat their stomachs, let them sleep well, get the best treatment if they are injured, and send them to their families as soon as possible if they are killed, so that they have no worries! β
Obviously, Cao Cao was a little weak when he said this.
Because of these specific measures, they are not mentioned in the military book.
Cao Cao talked a lot about it, but in fact, Cao Cao did not mention the key point in every article, that is, the specific implementation plan, which in Huangfu Song's view, is just talk on paper.
"Captain Cao Qidu, you are still young!" Huangfu Song's eyes narrowed and raised his hand. "You haven't shed blood on the battlefield, fought hard, and seen your comrades leave forever, and your words will always be empty talk. Familiar with military books, just an empty talker, the battlefield does not need an empty talker, let alone a clever tongue to sell fame and reputation, no matter how prominent his family background is? How much his son is held in high esteem and loved by His Majesty! β
These words directly lowered Cao Cao's head, and his face was red!
Dare to say so much, Huangfu Song still regards him Cao Cao as a mediocre talent who relies on his family background and his son to ascend to the throne!
Call...
Huangfu Song exhaled, took out a fine jade pendant from his arms and threw it to Cao Cao. "Give it back to your father! General Ben won't take special care of you because of this! β
This...
Cao Cao seemed to understand something.
Huangfu Song was silent for a moment before he let out a soft snort. "As for you? Let's go manage logistics first, observe the battlefield there, and temper your will, isn't it? They are all capable of commanding such a heavy burden as cavalry! β
Yes...
Startled!
All of a sudden, Cao Cao's whole person was stunned.
Obviously, he simply could not accept such a sudden blow, but the military has always regarded obedience as its duty.
Cao Cao only clasped his fists. "Thanks, General Xie."
The official position is second only to the three princes and nine kings, and Cao Cao, the cavalry captain who is tied with the seventy-two doctors, unexpectedly... was actually sent to manage logistics, Cao Cao's head was buzzing, and for a moment, he was even in a trance, and he even felt that it was right or wrong for his son Cao Shuo to ask for such an official title of cavalry lieutenant for him?
Walking like lead-filled legs, he retreated to the door of the big tent step by step, wiped his eyes, and didn't know whether it was sweat or tears, and his entire sleeve was wet.
Cao Cao turned around and was about to leave.
But at this time.
"Stop." Huangfu Song's voice rose again...
Cao Cao quickly returned to the big tent, with a touch of expectation in his heart, and bowed his hand. "The general has changed his mind?"
"No!"
Huangfu Song threw Cao Cao's mood to the bottom with just one word, and then he told Cao Cao word by word, clearly and sonorously.
"General Ben reminds you that there are no important links on the battlefield at all, because as long as every link on the battlefield is important!"
Rumble...
This sentence is like five thunders roaring...
Cao Cao suddenly realized how ignorant he was, and for the first time he felt his feelings and experiences when he read military books in the past, and even his yearning and eagerness to try the battlefield, all of which were just words on paper!
Yes, where is the most important link on the battlefield?
General Huangfu is right, he has never been on the battlefield? How can you experience this art of war? How can you be called a qualified general?
With a "snap", Cao Cao knelt on the ground. "General Xie's teachings!"
This is Cao Cao's sincere words, and he has indeed benefited a lot from today's words with Huangfu Song.
It seems that at this moment, he can faintly understand why his son Cao Shuo has to go to great lengths to help him get such an official title and such an opportunity to sharpen himself!
