Chapter 18: The Soldier
The two of them started with the book of war.
The books of war that Han Xin mentioned are naturally works before this era, such as "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Art of War of Wu Qi", and "Wei Xuanzi".
Deng Yulong has read far more military books than Han Xin, including the military books written by the name from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and has also spent time studying the ways of using troops by famous generals such as Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, and Li Jing, and has learned about the victories and defeats of many classic battles in history.
The two of them each say a certain paragraph of the content of a certain military book, and then conduct a specific analysis to express their own opinions, neither of them is a nerd, and will sometimes say how to use it flexibly according to the content of the military book.
At the beginning, Deng Yulong's explanation was limited to the military books before the Han Dynasty, and Han Xin was not too surprised at first, after all, to be a general, at least you have to have some real material.
As the two explained more and more, Han Xin gradually became surprised.
For example, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Deng Yulong's explanation of a certain paragraph, Han Xin has also understood it before, and what he can understand, Deng Yulong can also understand, but the other party understands it more deeply and thoroughly, and there are many novel insights.
In the past, no one had ever had an in-depth exchange with Han Xin on the art of war, and Deng Yulong could be said to be the first person.
Han Xin is one of the representatives of the ancient soldiers, and the soldiers are divided into four categories, namely the military power strategist, the soldier yin and yang strategist, the soldier situation strategist and the soldier technician.
In modern times, military strategists are called strategists, who are good at analyzing the situation in the world and making strategic judgments.
The soldiers of the Yin and Yang family mainly use a variety of time, location, people and other conditions to achieve victory, Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang belong to the representatives of the Yin and Yang family.
In modern times, military situationists are called tactical commanders, mainly emphasizing the use of one's own advantages to defeat the enemy.
Specifically, there are three points: to create an advantage over the enemy; Carefully strategize to create the best battlefield situation. These two points belong to the pre-war period.
During the battle, the main general will judge the situation and give full play to the might of attacking the enemy, and this belongs to the category of on-the-spot command when the operation is in progress.
The representative figures mainly include Han Xin, Xiang Yu, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Genghis Khan and so on.
Military technicians mainly refer to the innovative inventions and use methods of soldier training, weapons and equipment, including conscription, training, medical care, military rations and other logistics support.
Representative figures include Tian Dan, Zhang Xun, Meng Hui, Qi Jiguang and others.
For example, Zhuge Liang's wooden ox flowing horse and Zhuge repeater; Another example is Qi Jiguang, who is good at military training, and his mandarin duck array and firearms are used flexibly. Both belong to the category of ancient warriors.
For the four categories of soldiers, it is impossible for a famous general in ancient times to be limited to one of them, but there will be one of them that he is best at.
Han Xin, who was in front of Deng Yulong, was both a military strategist and a military situationist, who was not only rich in military strategy, but also good at building his own advantages before the war, creating a battlefield situation favorable to his side, and possessing superb military command ability during the battle.
And Deng Yulong himself is good at all four types of soldiers, and any one of them is super-first-class in this era.
In his previous and modern times, he was obsessed with ancient military history and politics, not only devoted himself to research, but also fully communicated with many history and military fans, including face-to-face exchanges and online exchanges.
Because of this, in modern times, he was blamed by his father, who hoped that he would pay less attention to this area and do more practical things, such as spending more time on work and working hard to earn money to marry a wife. After all, no matter how much research you do in this area, it has nothing to do with making money, it is just a personal hobby, and if you put too much thought into hobbies that have nothing to do with work, it is a plaything.
Deng Yulong never expected to travel to this time and space, and his personal hobbies in his previous life came in handy.
Han Xin was obsessed with soldiers, and Deng Yulong's extraordinary theoretical knowledge in this area surprised and delighted him, as if he had found a confidant in the vast sea of people, and had in-depth exchanges with the other party, forgetting for a while that he had come to seek officials and come to sell himself.
It's like in modern times, when you are obsessed with a certain field, but you don't have a like-minded person around you, and one day you suddenly find out or meet you, and it's not surprising that you're not happy.
Deng Yulong is also willing to communicate with Han Xin, as if he was communicating with an ancient military fan in modern times, but he just needs to pay attention to the issues that should be paid attention to.
What his brain carries is the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese people in related fields for three thousand years, and he has effectively fused these together to become his personal ability that no one can match in this time and space, which is really better than Han Xin, which makes Han Xin more and more admired.
"General, it's time for dinner!"
Both of them were very engaged, and time passed quickly before they knew it, until the voice of the attendant soldier Wang Dahu came, only to find that it was already evening, and the two had been talking for more than four hours.
Deng Yulong said: "Oh, it took me half a day to meet you, and some things have been delayed. ”
He said this on purpose, and Han Xin took the initiative to come to the door, and he spent half a day meeting with him, and he deliberately wanted to create this situation.
Deng Yulong hoped to subdue Han Xin for his own use, so that this big man could be his cronies; Han Shin needs someone to appreciate him and give him a stage to display his talents.
When the two need each other, it depends on who needs whom more, and Deng Yulong wants to create a situation where Han Xin needs him more.
After the communication between the two stopped, Han Xin was still unsatisfied, but remembering the disparity in status between the two, he looked embarrassed and said: "General, you are worthy of being a peerless soldier, I admire you very much, you are the most suitable candidate for a general." ”
Half a day of talking made Han Xin realize Deng Yulong's extraordinary talent.
Deng Yulong said: "Brother Han, it is beyond my expectation that you have such talent. Come on, come on, let's eat together. ”
Wang Dahu brought the meal, there were staple foods made of millet, there were three kinds of meat, and Deng Yulong specially asked the cook to make portions for two people.
"General, how can this be done!"
Han Xin was even more embarrassed.
Deng Yulong said again: "When I was in Chuying before, I received a lot of your care, and I should thank you in return. ”
In the past, when he was in the Chu Army, Han Xin was usually good to his subordinates, but if he met a difficult boss, Deng Yulong would not be so smooth if he resigned and left.
Han Xin himself was already impressed, and Deng Yulong's hospitality made him flattered and grateful.
Outside the general's tent, the soldiers of the Han army concentrated on the meal, eating the rice made in a big pot, and the food could not be very good, so they could only be full.
In the tent, the two of them started to eat, and the general's diet was, of course, made by the best cooks in the army, and the three kinds of meat were made in different ways.
The first is roast lamb, which is specially added with honey; The second dish is sweet and sour duck meat with starch sugar and vinegar; The third is pork with peppercorns.
During the Qin Dynasty, condiments mainly included starch syrup, honey, vinegar, tempeh, Sichuan pepper, ginger and so on.
Deng Yulong ate a lot, Han Xin was a little restrained at first, and then slowly let go of eating.
After eating enough, Wang Dahu cleaned up the table.
Han Xin gave Deng Yulong a deep look and said, "General Xie appreciates the meal." ”
