In the midst of strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, this sentence is easy to say, and it is a huge project to really do it.

Just like Ganch's bleeding buttocks from the saddle, first there was blood, then it scabbed, and then he had to beat the horse and hurry, and the scab broke again, and then it bleed, and so on, and so on, and so on, and then a thick callus grew on his buttocks.

Why is Ganchi so exhausted? It's really because the communication conditions in this era are too poor, and it takes many days to go back and forth for a little bit of information.

So sometimes Gan Qi had to be there in person, and everything was arranged on the spot. For example, from Xiongzhou to Cangzhou Seaside, more than 400 miles, many things need to be arranged by Gan Qi in person, so he has to beat his horse and gallop away.

Ask the Cai family in Quanzhou who came with the ship, what is the wind direction on the sea, how long will it take for the next trip, and whether the sailors in Hangzhou are embarrassed on the road, if so, Gan Qi has to issue an official document first, and send a letter to Tokyo, and Tokyo will also go to Hangzhou to make the sea route unblocked.

If you ask in detail about the situation in Quanzhou, the iron factory, the blacksmith workshop, etc., how many ordnance can be transported over the next trip, Gan Qi must have an understanding, and he must also allocate it well......

Then he had to personally arrange the contact between the fleet and Di Yong......

These things are really not clear in one or two letters, so Gan Qi, who is pressed for time, has to dare to come to Cangzhou in person, so as not to waste the time that comes and goes.

Rushing back to Xiongzhou, Ganqi had more to worry about, dumping goods, inspecting the army, distributing ordnance, hoarding military supplies, raising cheap grain and grass, and even buying mutton and pork......

From time to time, I also get a few speeches from the army to encourage the training enthusiasm of the soldiers, and the most important thing is to let these soldiers know him Ganqi Ganxianggong, which is very important, an army must have a backbone, and let these soldiers who are illiterate know who they are fighting for, and who is so good to them, giving money, food, and meat to eat.

This point is extremely important, and this is the ideological construction of the army in this era. In this era, shouting the big slogan of serving the country and the people, it is better to tell them who is their boss, how good this boss is, enough money and food, love soldiers like sons, kindness like mountains, meritorious service without worrying about rewards, meritorious service without worrying about promotion.

Let all the soldiers know that with such a boss, they can eat and drink spicy food, have a head, and have a bright future.

In this way, the soldiers will really work hard for Ganqi.

So Gan Qi has to appear in the school field from time to time, and he has to do some psychologically suggestive behaviors together. For example, when Gan Xianggong comes, he can add food, and the mutton tube is enough.

For example, Gan Xianggong came again, this time making an exception, Gan Xianggong came with wine and drank it with his belly open.

For example, Gan Xianggong came again, personally paid money, and each person also gave a few words of encouragement, greetings, asked about their names and hometowns, and asked about the situation at home. A few words and questions from the high-ranking Gan Xianggong are enough to warm people's hearts.

For example, Gan Xianggong said before leaving today, come back in a few days, release, one person sends half a horse, that is, two zhang long, enough for the whole family to make a new dress.

From the moment Gan Xianggong left, everyone was looking forward to Gan Xianggong's next visit.

……

This kind of psychological hint is also very important, not only to give favors to his subordinates and let them remember Gan Qi's goodness, but also to make everyone look forward to Gan Xianggong's coming, so that everyone knows that as long as Gan Xianggong comes, good things will happen.

When fighting, you see, when Gan Xianggong came, he put on armor in front of the battle, and this kind of psychological suggestion will be effective, which can make people feel at ease and relieve people's nervousness.

The way to lead troops is not really all about strategizing, this kind of ordinary small details is the real mastery.

Some of these things were realized by Gan Qi himself, and some were naturally taught by Lao Di Qing.

With these blessings, it can also drive the vigorous and upward momentum of the soldiers and maintain the feeling of being in full swing in the barracks.

Gan Xianggong came again, handed out the cloth, did not hurry to leave, ate and lived with the soldiers for two days, to see if this bedding was warm, to see if the clothes of that one were thick, and sometimes called the quartermaster in front of everyone and scolded him. is really a soldier who loves soldiers like a son, like recreating parents.

Being a good coach is not so simple, it takes too much thought. At the moment of battle, whether the military man is willing to die or afraid of death is to test whether the commander's usual work of leading the troops is in place.

Gan Xianggong left, and there were many opportunities, and the soldiers looked at the back of Gan Xianggong beating his horse and leaving, and there was some reluctance.

"I was thinking about sending us to this Xiongzhou before, but it was a chore, but I didn't expect to meet such a good official as Gan Xianggong......"

"Yes, Lao Tzu has been a soldier for seven or eight years, and the first time I met such a good Shangguan, God opened his eyes......"

"In the past, those who were officials, who took us soldiers seriously? Only Gan Xianggong, who loves soldiers like a son so much, is to go to the battlefield, and Lao Tzu is willing to die!"

"I don't know when Gan Xianggong will come again next time."

"It's going to take a few days, Gan Xianggong is not the officials in the past, he is most concerned about us, and he will definitely come back in a few days."

"Yes, when Gan Xianggong was leaving, he said that the next time he came, he should put on armor and hold a gun and practice some martial arts."

"Isn't Gan Xianggong a Jinshi? Does he also know martial arts? ”

"You just don't have the fuck to know! Gan Xianggong is Yunwen Yunwu, didn't you listen to the commander? In the past, Gan Xianggong and Di Xianggong fought the barbarians in Yongzhou together, that is, they personally went into battle, and they killed the barbarians on their backs, and they were extraordinary! ”

"Really?"

"You still don't believe me? Yes...... You don't believe it? Let's go, let's go to the commander there, the commander was in Yongzhou in the past, and followed Gan Xianggong behind him to fight horses and rush into battle, otherwise you think that the commander is a Shaanxi person, why can he come to Hebei to be our commander? In that battle, it was fought in the dark, Gan Xianggong alone killed more than a dozen barbarians, and also wiped out all the lair of the Huotong barbarians, killing a river of blood......"

"And this kind of thing? Let's go and find the commander, and I'll listen to the commander tell me this story in person. ”

"Let's go, let's go, listen to the commander."

……

Gan Xianggong over there, just got out of the tent here, turned around and entered another small tent.

There are a thousand Jurchens stationed here, and in order to prevent some unnecessary trouble, these Jurchens are deliberately stationed alone in a more distant and secret place, and have little contact with outsiders. The main reason is that they are afraid of racial discrimination, afraid that the Song people will bully and laugh at these savages, causing unnecessary disputes, and secondly, they are also hiding to prevent people from easily discovering that Ganqi has such an army.

It's also a detail, and Gan Qi is extremely thoughtful.

Just wait for the First World War, these Jurchens will convince everyone and will no longer be bullied and laughed at.

A thousand Jurchens, all horses, armor, armor, horses, men and horses have armor, and everyone's blades, from spears to waist knives, to bows and crossbows, are all available.

The thousand-numbered heavy armored cavalry, like a steel beast, was divided into three teams, one team of more than 300 people, and they were running on the school field.

The first team is called: Trap. More than 300 people, two rows of horizontal columns, all the horses are connected by chains, they cannot be scattered, they cannot retreat, only one can move forward. Even the knights were chained to their horses, and they couldn't get off their horses if they wanted to.

Just to charge head-on, the torrent of steel forward. This tactic was not invented by Gan Qi, nor was it invented by Di Qing. Since ancient times, heavy cavalry have had this method of warfare, which seems inhumane, but it is actually very effective. The heavily armored man and the horse, linked together, stepped forward, the blade was difficult to hurt, and the enemy could not stop it, and could not avoid it.

This kind of heavily armored cavalry that is linked together, not too fast, as long as it advances steadily, is used to fight positional warfare.

The second team is called: Chisel. The armor is slightly lighter, the horses' hooves are faster, and they attack on the left and right flanks, disrupting the enemy's formation. There are also more than 300 people.

The third team is called: Blades. Do only one thing, follow Ganqi, and wherever Ganchi goes, they will go. Maybe Gan Qi will also put this team of men and horses next to the main general who is really going to charge the battle, and attack with the main general. It depends on whether Gan Qi wants to fight in person.

Gan Qi had not prepared more than 200 spare horses for these Jurchens, which could be replaced at any time.

Gan Qi naturally couldn't be more attentive to these thousand Jurchens, and he personally took care of what he ate and drank, and from time to time he would come here to watch them practice.

Gan Qi has never slackened off for a moment in preparing for war, and everything can be postponed, only the matter of preparing for war, no matter how big or small, Gan Qi will personally go to deal with it.

Therefore, the cocoon on Ganqi's ass is getting thicker and thicker, but it is also beneficial, the cocoon is thicker, and it will not break anymore, and it will be much easier to ride a horse again.

In the evening, Di Qing finished his busy day and returned to the state office to meet Gan Qi.

Di Qing brought Gan Qi a message he had just received: "Dao Jian, just now a spy came to report, there are more than 80,000 Liao soldiers on the other side of the river, including more than 10,000 cavalry with horses, the rest are foot soldiers, there are about 30,000 people in iron armor, including more than 10,000 people in heavy armor, and today they started to practice martial arts on the other side of the river, the drums rumbled, and they came and went to shout to kill the heavens......

"Someone has to come, if you want the land of Yanyun, more than 100,000 horses, most of them have to be transferred." Gan Qi replied.

Di Qing nodded: "Looking at it this way, I'm afraid there are at least twelve or thirty thousand." ”

"However, I think the Liao envoy should be here again, so you should deal with it well."

"How is Dao Jian going to deal with it?"

Gan Qi smiled: "The Liao people are so aggressive, I'm a young boy, so naturally I have to be scared and panicked." ”

Di Qing also smiled slyly: "That's how it should be." In this way, when the Liao people transfer the soldiers and horses away, they will not have any worries. ”

"Yes, this time the Xiao envoy's eyelids have to see the sky." Gan Qi is still a little unhappy, Gan Qi wants to pretend to be cowardly, and others will naturally pretend to be forced.

"It's hard to be strong, and you have to be honestly afraid."

"It's okay, let him pay me back with his life." Gan Qi can figure it out, but he is very fierce.

"As long as Dao Jian is really sure that he will transfer the Liao soldiers and horses away, it will be nothing." Di Qing also comforted Gan Qi, as long as Gan Qi was going to suffer a little humiliation.

Gan Qi nodded, and he also knew that he was going to suffer this humiliation, and he wanted to reassure the Liao people. If Gan Qi is not affected by this humiliation, blindly tough, shouting and shouting and killing, then the Liao people will inevitably throw themselves into the trap and dare not easily transfer the gathered army to suppress the bandits, then it will be troublesome.

Show the enemy weakness, and the strategy of confusion is also.

Sure enough, the Liao envoy crossed the border the next day, and Xiao Hu still looked at people with his nostrils.

Xiao Hu is full of confidence this time, and it is time for him to raise his eyebrows, twenty or thirty miles away, on the other side of the Juma River, a million Liao troops are pressing the border, and the power of this million army is on him alone at this time.

This is the real one person who can be a million soldiers.

Gan Qi couldn't sit firmly in his official position this time, so he went far away to the door of the Ya to greet Xiao Hu's frame, and took the initiative to come forward to salute: "I've seen Xiao Envoy." ”

Xiao Hu saw Gan Qi like this, his eyes didn't look at Gan Qi, but just stepped into the yamen, and said: "The so-called Song people are the first and the last, I don't know what to understand?" ”

Gan Qi really smiled and explained: "Arrogant, arrogant, respectful, respectful." Former and backward respect, that is, arrogant and arrogant before, and respectful and obedient afterwards. ”

"Haha...... It's easy to solve, it's easy to solve. Those who are compassionate in the past and behind, are they willing to be a little bit? Xiao Hu paused, turned his head to look at Gan Qi, and then stepped forward, straight into the main hall, and sat down with his ass, unceremoniously.

Tea and snacks, hurriedly served.

Gan Qi laughed from the side.

"Gan Jingluo, you haven't answered the envoy yet? Bow to you, but you? ”

"Perhaps......" Gan Qi smiled.

"Why? Why does Gan Jingluo have to come to the front and back? Xiao Hu laughed out loud, holding the armrest, this feeling was so refreshing.

"Isn't it? There are millions of Liao soldiers on the other side of the river, and I didn't expect it to ......."

"Didn't expect that? Do you think I'm joking with you in front of my head? Hum...... But today's posture of yours is not bad, and it makes this envoy very useful. Xiao Hu still had to be used for a while, drinking tea, and letting Gan Qi stand by his side like a small servant.

"This time...... I don't know what Xiao Envoy wants? Even so, I'd better report to Tokyo and let the officials decide one or two. Gan Qi can't play a flattering smile, this is a blind spot of his acting skills, so he can only bow down and hide his expression.

"The letter of state is here, you can send someone to send it, the land of ten counties south of Waqiao Pass, but if there is a disallow, you also write a letter yourself, my Daliao does not have a million soldiers and horses today, but only 700,000, these 700,000 troops, will personally go south to take the land. After taking the land, the matter is revealed. Xiao Hu put down the teacup, stood up again, and walked two steps back and forth, it seemed that Gan Qi did not allow it, he was about to turn around and leave, and immediately send troops to fight when he went back. It's putting a lot of pressure on Ganch.

South of Waqiao Pass, in fact, it is the territory of Xiongzhou, there is a Baiyangdian in the south (the place where the little soldier Zhang Ga rises), and Baiyangdian is to the north.

The last time Chongxi increased the currency, the Liao people wanted Renzong to cede this place, and the reason for wanting this place was to directly cross the boundary river and cross the city of Xiongzhou.

Therefore, this land cannot be ceded under any circumstances, Fu Bi used to make Liao, and after giving money, what he asked for was not to cut this land.

Gan Qi was panicked and said, "I'm afraid it's ...... to cut the land."

"Can you call the shots?" Xiao Hu squinted his eyebrows and pointed his nostrils at Gan Qi.

This sentence is somewhat familiar, Gan Qi seems to have asked Xiao Hu this before, but it is also a good reincarnation of heaven.

"This ...... Next...... In the next meeting, the credentials will be sent to Tokyo immediately, and the officials will be in charge. ”

"The envoy is waiting for you on the other side of the river with a letter of peace!" Xiao Hu is very comfortable today, Gan Qi's sincere and frightened appearance makes him very comfortable, and the refreshing feeling of pretending to slap his face is probably like this.

"It must be certain, it only takes seven or eight days to come and go, and the decision of the official family can reach Xiongzhou. Tonight, a banquet was set up in the city, and Xiao was invited to move, and some small gifts were also prepared...... "Gan Qi finally found a little flattery at this time.

Xiao Hu looked at the flattering Gan Qi, his face was straight, and he walked away: "Don't come to this with this envoy, hum!" ”

After saying that, Xiao Hu had already gone out, coming and going in a hurry, stepping on Gan Qi's face on the ground and moving it, in a good mood.
