"Old Zhou. It's not me talking about you. You're stupid. You submit the report. The above will give you people, how can there be such a good thing, you have to ask for it. And this weaponry. You don't want that. Who will go to you. Pei Yuanshao said anxiously.

"This. Can this also be done? Zhou Cang asked with some hesitation.

"Of course it has to be. You look at the other infantry divisions. Damn, they dug it up themselves. Why can't you ask for it. By the time you send someone down for you, it's too late. Let's not think about eating good meat in our independent brigade. I don't think I can drink the last sip of broth. Pei Yuanshao seemed to be very dissatisfied and said.

"Hmm. You're right. That's right. Zhou Cang said.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the headquarters to have a look, and I'm going to get some people." Zhou Cang nodded, he felt that what Zhou Cang said was right, and he should do the same. After all, this officer is the skeleton of a unit. Your skeleton can't hold up. The troops may not know how much chaos will go.

"Still. Lao Zhou, you have to ask for some people, in this case, a dozen discounts. And the man came out. Pei Yuanshao said treacherously.

"Huh. Your old Pei has a lot of eyes. Okay, listen to you, I'll go to the headquarters tomorrow to ask for more people. We have so many backbones to draw some points. There should be so many people coming back, too. Otherwise, the troops would not be able to take them. Zhou Cang said.

Residential quarters for military school instructors. Cao Cao has his own independent courtyard here. Cao Cao didn't want to go to class every day, in fact, he didn't know what he taught, but many of the teaching materials came from him. He summed up the experience of this operation. And carefully study some of the operational reports of the Red Turban Army. I have some understanding of myself. Wrote a lot of useful reports.

For example, he wrote reports on the use of red turban firearms and the establishment of troops. In his opinion, the focus of firearms is on the effective firepower output of firearms, and in order to achieve this firepower output, the troops must be simplified. Other words. Units should be grouped around the deployment of firepower to the greatest extent. This old-fashioned method of staffing the military is no longer able to effectively deal with the large-scale use of firearms. The Red Turban Army has become more rational in its establishment. And if the imperial court wants to catch up with the Red Turban Army, it must adopt this extremely simplified organization.

In addition, there are many things to pay attention to, for example, during the battle, the appearance of a large number of fortifications requires special sappers to build. Instead of using local folks. After all, in comparison, the sappers will be much more professional. At the same time, it can reduce a series of burdens on the troops. In addition, the most important thing is to establish a reasonable and effective staff system. Although Sima and the Red Turban Army's staff system is not much different. The main thing is that they don't have much difference in terms of functionality. But if you look closely, the difference will be found. The staff system is superior to the Sima system. Because he's more detailed. The battle plan will become more refined. In such a situation. Their condition will develop better than theirs. Because the staff officers are divided in more detail. They are more functional.

Sima simply marched and fought. They lacked a clear battle plan. However, the staff officer system can effectively make up for the professional level of the military chief officers of the Red Turban Army. Military commanders may not have a certain level of military professionalism, but as long as they are decisive, they can solve most problems. The reason why this is done is simple. Because the staff will provide relevant options to choose from. Compare and come up with an advantageous plan. And the military commander is just a choice.

At most, the Sima system of the official army only provides some auxiliary work. In the end, it was the military commander who came up with the battle plan, and in this way, the military quality of the military commander was very high. The staff officer system makes up for this greatly. Arguably. The official and military are first-class generals and second-rate Simas. The Red Turban Army, on the other hand, is a second-rate military commander. second-rate staff officers, but they add up to surpass the first-class generals. In such a combat situation, Cao Cao had to learn the relevant system of the Red Turban Army. He believes that the staff officer system can effectively solve such a difficult problem, and such a system should be popularized on a large scale.

In addition to the staff system, Cao Cao believed that the imperial court should establish a special military academy. For example, the backbone of the New Army in the West Park also has to learn professional military knowledge. In this way, the quality of the officers will be collectively raised. The enthusiasm of grassroots combat will be greatly enhanced. And all this has greatly improved their combat capabilities. At the same time, for the imperial court, as long as the officers are controlled, they can basically control the army of a country. Prevent generals from getting bigger. It's good for the country. Cao Cao believes that at the very least, a place like the Lecture Hall should be established. Its actual function should also be basically the same as that of a military school.

But these are all superficial phenomena. With the deepening of research, Cao Cao believes. The Red Turban Army was able to win the battle, and it was definitely not a simple accident that could be explained. Although these systems are excellent, they are not enough to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army. For example, how to complete their weapons and equipment, the provision of soldiers, and the supply of logistics. With in-depth research. Cao Cao felt more and more. The article here is huge.

"Perhaps. The secret of everything is here. Cao Cao took out a few red tickets on the desk and said so. The Red Turbans are supported because of their good policies. They charge very little in taxes. Seldom. This makes the people's taxes very light. After the pressure on the population has decreased. It is only natural to support the development of such a government.

Huguan County. Inside the headquarters of the 3rd Division.

"Sir. Why don't we fight those bandits? Taking advantage of this gap, we should take down all the bandits. Fuck. Extinguishing one, it's nothing. Li Yun came in anxiously and asked.

"I know. Look at this. Ma Heng said and handed a letter on the desk to Li Yun. Li Yun took it and looked at it. However, the content is too profound. He didn't know all the words. I didn't understand the general meaning.

"This. What is this written about? Li Yun asked embarrassedly.

"I said, you are the commander of the military district. Why don't you take the time to learn something, you can't even read a simple letter? Ma Heng took the letter angrily and asked.

"This. It's not, I'm nobody. At my level, I'm still in the highest wave. Li Yun said.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore. The chief will talk to you later. You kid, you have to study something well, if you don't study, such things will make you die sooner or later. Ma Heng said.

"Huh. I learn. I can't learn yet. Li Yun said. Li Yun's knowledge level is really not high. He knew just over a thousand words. It's okay to read a simple battle report on weekdays. But write war reports. It can only be so-so, and at this time, there is no dictionary to consult. If you don't know the word, you have to smell others. He is the commander of the military district. How could he ask others, so when he couldn't write it, he handed it over directly to the staff officer to write. He's not so ugly.

"That's it. There are a few bandit stockades who think that our Red Turban Army is fighting well and want to submit to us, so let's give them a number. However, the troops are still theirs. What do you think about such a thing. Ma Heng asked Li Yun.

"Damn it. It's okay. Surrender, submission, you have to hand over the troops and listen to us. If you don't, damn it. What is the point of conversion? That's not interesting. Li Yun scolded.

"Hmm. I think the same way, but the problem is, it's not easy to do this kind of thing. Submission is actually a matter of trust, and if we trust them, and they trust us, then they are brothers. But if we trust them. They don't trust us, and in the end they give us a knife in the back, which is troublesome. Ma Heng said.

"What else does this say. Sir, what you didn't say, let's just kill it. They guarded their cottage and thought it was amazing. Fuck, let's bombard with cannons. Bombard them. See if they surrender or not. Li Yun said excitedly.

When the time comes, Lao Tzu rushes forward. Chopped off their heads one by one, and watched if they dared to negotiate terms with us. Fuck. It's the other way around. Li Yun said.

"I know that, too. It's easy and easy to solve. But the problem is that our cannons are reaching their limits. And during this period of time, the consumption of ammunition is very high. If you want to replenish it, you need to transport it from Lijiazhuang. It's very troublesome. You can't build an arsenal here. The question arises naturally. Such a thing. Do you think I don't want to? Ma Heng shook his head and said. Li Yun thought. It's really simple and effective. But the problem is that they can't withstand such a test. Their guns, after a period of firing, have reached the end of their barrel life. They need to be re-cast. Eliminate hidden dangers. If the cannon is fired again, it will require a lot of risk. And that's just secondary. The most powerful thing is the ammunition. Less than three of them are gone. It can only cope with the attrition of a small-scale offensive operation of the officers and troops. It's for them. That's the worst-case scenario. Without supplies, they couldn't do a lot of things. Doing something like this in such a situation would put them in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

"So. We'll have to talk. But who can do such a thing? Ma Heng asked.

"I can't do it. Li had to talk to someone else about this. This is a matter for the literati. Li Yun said.
