6. Pang Tong's calculation
The transfer of military power between Pang Tong and Liu Yu was very smooth, and in the current situation, Liu Yu had no room to refuse.
Although he didn't understand what Pang Tong had to do to solve the current crisis, he had to gamble, after all, Dong Zhuo wanted his Liu Yu's life.
The Xiliang cavalry is like a tiger on the horse, but it is also like a wolf when it gets off the horse, and it can't be held at all, the first army in the world! It lives up to its name.
On the battlefield, there is no discomfort in switching between different arms.
And with the people who belong to Pang Tong's secret guard "Ming",
began to quickly take over the positions of middle and lower-level officers in Liu Yu's army in large quantities, as well as occupy most of the central and lower-level official positions.
The fat man is basically a successful change of power.
And Pang Tong, who successfully "usurped the throne", did not have the slightest consciousness of the superiors.
On the contrary, it is much harder than ever.
The army was approaching the city, and the grain and grass were only enough for a few days, and the Xiliang reinforcements were sent to Youzhou.
So Pang Tong didn't even have time to read every day,
Every day, he wanders around the city to check, whether it is the city wall, the army, the granary, the shops, the houses, and the layout of the city.
It was all within his calculations, and the paper used for calculations every day had to be pulled back to the mansion by cart and horse.
On the first day, Pang Tong promulgated seven measures to defend the city, the core of which was to centralize the grain and distribute it in a unified manner.
After he calculated the limit of human hunger, he gave food six times according to the hour with the special prescription he distributed, which was extremely detailed.
Strange to say, after taking a small amount of auxiliary medicine and eating at a few special time cut-offs, even if the daily food consumption of each person is only one-third of the usual day, it limits hunger to the greatest extent.
Although it is harmful to the body, at least there will be no starvation to death, and the civil unrest is avoided to the greatest extent.
After this method was forced to be implemented in the city, it would have been able to last for four or five days, but if nothing else, it would have been possible to barely last for 20 days.
In this way, those who are worried about food and grass have become the Yellow Turban and Xiliang Army under the city, and they can only last for eleven or twelve days.
And it will take half a month for Xiliang reinforcements to arrive.
The pros and cons are instantly reversed.
The time difference of three or four days is there, and Xiliang will inevitably hurry up the siege.
On the Youzhou side, even if it was a measurable battle loss and exchanged lives with the other party, it finally temporarily relieved the urgent need, at least it was delayed by Pang Tong.
The remaining six orders to defend the city involve more than 30 points respectively.
The thickening of the city walls is accurate to the millimeter.
Modifications to the soldier's weapons, down to the shape of the bow and arrow.
Rest of the guards of the city......
The mix and match of various troops, and the positions of the near and far camps on the city wall.
And so on and so forth.
……
Pang Tong's dense pile of paper filled a room, on which all kinds of miscellaneous things were recorded.
"The time and materials used for each repair of the Youzhou city wall,
The hardness of the bricks and the degree of decay over time ......"
"The weak point of the Xiliang armor is randomly related to the killing of the density of bows and arrows......"
"The quantification of the average age and maximum physical strength of the Xiliang army, and the impact of the distribution of grain and grass on the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang soldiers ......"
"Siege Ladder Height and Balance Point ......"
"The effective length and lethality of the blade of the Xiliang standard sword"
"How much does the climate of Xiliang and Youzhou have a different impact on the physical strength of soldiers?"
"Racial Differences ...... the Two States"
"The Influence of Western Liang Buddhism on the Will of Soldiers"
……
He spent two days and three nights, and for sixteen hours without closing his eyes, completing a total of 300 blank sheets of paper with complex calculations and proposition calculations.
These hundreds of blank sheets of paper are only the result of a few small steps in his sporadic flashes of inspiration and some huge calculations.
In fact, more than seventy percent of the calculations are completed by this fat man by mental arithmetic alone.
The complicated data that no one could read and understand, supported by his almost genius conception and perverted deduction, were strung together like beads into a series of orders involving various fields
If it continues to be carried out as quickly as possible, the institutions in the city controlled by the personnel of the "Ming" will receive several orders every day.
Some of them are immediate, some are closely related, and some of them seem to be unrelated to defending the city.
But it caused great trouble for the siege of Xiliang.
There is no need to go into detail about the situation on the battlefield, just one result is enough to tell the whole story.
Originally, the battle loss ratio was three to four, but the average battle loss in these three days could reach an exaggerated three to seven.
……
After three nights, in Pang Tong's study, there was a guard in the "Ming" to protect him.
In the magnificent study, except for some military fortification scrolls and detailed maps of Youzhou, the rest of the books have been emptied.
The pitch-black floor was covered with old and new white paper, some neat, some crumpled, and some scribbled, covering the patterns on the floor tiles
Between the piles of paper, a fat man was buried.
He sat cross-legged on his knees, his eyes sunken, and his eyes were closed as if he had fainted.
The feces and urine in the night pot next to him stinked, and the dirty plates were piled up.
Eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in this room, and the stench was permeating, and any ordinary person would vomit and flee when he came in.
It's not something that people can endure anymore......
But whether it is the fat man or the guard in the "Ming", they are like clay puppet sculptures, not smelling or moving...... Silence and peace.
On the fat man's always neat clothes, ink and vegetable soup are mixed with mottled marks, and the whole person is like a beggar, even if his eyes are closed, you can see that he is extremely haggard.
No one bothered, just waited quietly for him......
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead finally slowly opened his eyes.
There is no sparkle of wisdom, only tired and red godless eyes,
"Ah......h
Softly making a painful sound, Pang Tong could feel the incomparably sore muscles and muscles all over his body when he moved slightly, and it was so strong that he convulsed.
The blood veins in the lower limbs must be blocked.
For more than a dozen hours, like sitting meditation, there are only countless calculations, deductions, values, and assumptions.
He is still an absolute fat man, but whether it is a puffy face, sunken eyes, or dirty stubble......
Bruised lips, stiff fingers......
It all made him like a poor ghost crawling out of purgatory.
Pang Tong tried to stand up, but his feet fell weakly, and he had difficulty getting up because of his weakness in his limbs.
He smiled bitterly and rubbed his thighs, thinking that he was fortunate to have studied medicine with his master at the beginning, even if it really hurt his body if he lost his mind, he could finally take care of himself.
Some people know: "Pang Jiashiyuan, the ...... of the heart of heaven" is famous.
But no one has ever known how much effort he has put in and how much hard work he has endured for this calculation.
But even though he is displaced, he is so depressed,
He always believes that let the people of the world die less and live better.
It is the benevolence of a strategist, but also the humanity of a person.
The fat man put his hand on the arm of the middle-aged man who came over to help him, and the middle-aged man who supported his entire weight was effortless.
Pang Tong's weak Dao
"Ming Qi, you don't want to intercept you when you return to Youzhou, there is no need for you and the respected old-timer to have a fight......
And the Master's Shadow is left behind, and there is no reason to draw swords from each other......"
"Kong Ming also understands this, so take a step back."
The man with a mediocre face that people couldn't remember was stunned for a while before nodding his head and saying in a low voice: "Mr. Big, you and Mr. Little......... Very different...... The old master handed over the spy to the little gentleman...... Ming Qi didn't dare to talk about it.
But what can only be said is that you are not Mr. Xiao, and you are truly extremely lucky! ”
Pang Tong said softly in a weak trembling voice:
"Actually, you can understand where she is, and of course she doesn't need anyone to understand.
However, I always remember that she said something to Master when she was five years old, and I still think that it is quite flavorful.
"Even if your hands and eyes reach the sky, you can't bury your conscience in the ground......"
"Kong Ming, this girl, very good...... cough cough"
Ming Qi, who has served Pang Tong for a long time, is silent about this, and has no expression, as a tool, Yu Ming is really not suitable for his own judgment and emotions.
