Chapter 81: Three Years (4)
Next, Guan Yi played Sima Zhao again, and Liao Yong played the Shu Han military, and the two deduced on the sand table.
"To sum up, in the future war, there will be four possibilities. And the way we do it is in a different way. ”
Guan Yi cleared his throat: "The first possibility is that the enemy army will not be able to break through Yang'an Pass, and finally retreat after running out of food. If this were the case, then the entire campaign would be confined to the Hanzhong Basin. Our Reconstruction Society basically does not need to participate, at most it is to send money and food to the front line. Of course, the Sima family came to obtain military merits for their own usurpation, so they can't explain without showing something decent, so this possibility is extremely small. ”
"Smack!" With a bang, Guan Yi hit the wooden stick on the Sword Pavilion: "The second possibility is that the enemy army broke through Yang'an Pass, but was blocked by the Sword Pavilion. If this happens, it means that the three northern counties of Hanzhong, Wudu, and Yinping of my Han Dynasty have all been lost. At this time, it depends on how much of our Han troops on the northern front can be withdrawn. If it's basically withdrawn, then I don't need to be involved in the Reconstruction Society. If there is less withdrawal or even greater loss, then our Reconstruction Society needs to participate. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yi arched his hand in the northwest direction: "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, this Marquis is allowed to train a new army of 3,000 people in Fuling County. This work has already begun to be done in Fuling County, if there is a shortage of defenders in the Sword Pavilion, then we will directly take out these three thousand people to the Sword Pavilion to participate in the battle! Under normal circumstances, this is the most likely to happen! ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, Guan Yi continued to say: "The third possibility, which caused great controversy just now, is to assume that the enemy army set off from Yinping and smuggled across Jinggu Road. Take Jiangyou and force Mianzhu. ”
When he was deducing just now, as Guan Yi expected, when he planted the blue flag representing Deng Ai's troops on the deserted Jinggu Road, the people in the room basically did not support his idea, thinking that his idea was very ridiculous. Fortunately, Guan Yi is the leader of this group of people, and his prestige has increased over the years, so in the end, when he showed the momentum of the boss, everyone reluctantly accepted this possibility.
"Here, Mianzhu." Guan Yi's wooden stick snapped twice on the point representing Mianzhu: "If the enemy really appears here, then our troops stationed in Fucheng and defending the rear of the Sword Pavilion must retreat." Then in Mianzhu block the enemy from entering the CD Plains. So the third situation is that there is an enemy in Mianzhu, but our army returns to defense in time and holds Mianzhu. ”
"The fourth and least likely scenario. Mianzhu was lost, and the enemy army advanced to the city. At that time, I don't know if the reinforcements from Nanzhong and Padang have arrived. If I don't arrive, I'll be the sole leader of the Fuxing Society......"
"To sum up, if the third and fourth situations occur, if our Fuxing Society wants to save the Han Dynasty from peril, it needs at least an army of 20,000 people!"
After Guan Yi said this, he sighed very helplessly in his heart.
The battle between Shu Han and Cao Wei, even since he crossed over, he has deduced it many times. Purely from a military point of view, the success of Cao Wei's attack was really minimal. That is, these guys from the Renaissance Society have been brainwashed by him repeatedly over the years, and because he has guided the Renaissance Society to grow stronger and stronger over the years, everyone has a blind trust in his ability. Only then did he reluctantly accept the latter two possibilities proposed by Guan Yi. What if Guan Yi said these words to others? Let's take a look at Jiang Wei's reaction back then, right? That's already General Jiang's soft hands and didn't say hard words. If you really take it to other people such as Zhuge Zhan and say, hehehe, people will definitely treat you as an unfounded person and make a hype and ridicule.
On the basis of history, Shu Han died so quickly. The most fundamental reason is that the local family in Yizhou and the broad masses of the people of Shu Han hope that the Shu Han regime will perish as soon as possible - the Yizhou family can no longer be suppressed. Ordinary people also did not need to pay huge taxes every year to support the Northern Expedition.
The founding of Shu Han has been too long, and it has always been trapped in the Sichuan Basin and cannot get out. The ideal of reviving the Han dynasty has been largely shattered. Even the Jingzhou faction felt that it couldn't hold on..... so when Deng Ai appeared in Ruocheng, and Shu Han obviously had the power to fight back. There was a voice of surrender in the court: the voice was made by the people of Yizhou, but the people of Jingzhou basically did not object...... So Liu Chan couldn't hold on anymore - everyone didn't want to fight, you as an emperor wanted to fight an egg.
"An army of 20,000 ......," Guan Yi paused slightly: "Your Majesty's quota for Ben Hou is three thousand. But Benhou still plans to expand the army to 20,000 men next year. ”
After Guan Yi said this, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
Guan Yi was not a prince in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, he was a magistrate of the Shu Han regime and a courtier of Liu Chan. The courtiers used their personal wealth to form an army without the permission of the emperor, which, no matter how you say it, is suspected of rebellion.
"Hey~~~" A long sigh sounded, but it was Li Mi who got up to speak: "Mi believes that Jun Hou is really thinking about the Han." ”
followed by Chen Shou: "Shou also believes in Jun Hou." ”
With the opening of these two Yizhou locals, the rest of the matter will naturally be much easier.
Zhang Zun, who was anxious, jumped out the third: "Brother, don't worry. The extra 17,000 people were nominally shared by our families. Well, after so many years, the Fuxing Society has made so much money, and we are not allowed to expand the scale of our generals? Didn't you see that there are thousands of private soldiers in the hands of the Dongwu Bu family. My Zhang family first carries the share of 3,000 people! ”
"My Zhao family also carries three thousand!"
"Three thousand from the Jane family!"
"Of course, the Sun family is also three thousand!"
"My Chen family's family has a thin background, and no one believes it when I say three thousand, so it's two thousand five!"
"Don't, don't, don't fight with my family. You must know that the first emperor was defeated in Huainan back then, and it was the ancestors who gave the first emperor 3,000 private soldiers to make the capital. Who can say anything if my Mi family raises thousands more? In this way, 15,000 people, my Mi family can carry it! ”
……
"Guan Yi would like to thank all the brothers for their trust and deep friendship."
It's really a little touching, but I can't play a scene of hugging and crying at this time - on the one hand, these people are all dead friends, and there is no need at all. On the other hand, there is still business to be done.
"The expanded share of the army will be done as just now, and everyone will carry it together to reduce Your Majesty's anxiety...... Well, let's move on to the topic. ”
"Let's talk about the expanded troop source first. What I mean, together with the 3,000 people who have already begun to train in Fuling County, and the troops of 20,000 people, Fuling and Jiangyang are each responsible for 10,000. The source of the soldiers, on the Fuling County side, was mainly recruited from Bizka, Menzihei and the local Han people. Jiangyang's side is the salt workers of Zigongting. ”
In fact, Guan Yi had planned this matter for a long time, so everyone had no disagreement.
"Next, let's talk about the training of the army. Of course, it would be good if the puppet Wei would come after two or three years, but what I was most afraid of was that the enemy would come over next year or the year after. Therefore, the training time of this newly formed unit is only scheduled for one year - and in order to avoid the suspicion of the imperial court, the training on the side of Fuling County can only be in the agricultural slack season. The training in Jiangyang County can only be one of three shifts of workers at a time...... There is no doubt that this is too short compared to the training time of ordinary soldiers in my big man. So the training method has to be changed. ”
It's been almost six years since we crossed over to this era. Guan Yi already had a considerable understanding of the military power of Han and Wu in this era.
In his opinion, in the two strongest combat units of Han and Wu: the Shu Han Mobile Corps and the Wu Wu Army of Eastern Wu, there are too many things that ordinary soldiers need to learn and understand - they must know how to use spears, and they must know how to use Pu Dao - they must learn to use shields if they know how to use Pu Dao - Shu Han's Hubu Army is a short spearman, and they must also be able to use shields. You also have to learn how to fight in formations, you have to learn how to cooperate with your teammates, you have to have a lot of physical training, and so on......
This method of training made sense: the Han and Wu countries, especially the Shu Han, had to rely on the excellence of their own soldiers to offset Cao Wei's numerical superiority. Moreover, in Shu Han, where the total population is relatively small, every soldier is precious and cannot be wasted as a simple consumable - therefore, the soldiers of Shu Han have a lot to learn before going to the battlefield. Correspondingly, it takes a lot of time.
But as a traverser, Guan Yi felt that he couldn't be a violent soldier at all! Moreover, his Fuxing Society is now not short of money and food, and is not afraid of consumption at all. still takes this elite route, on the one hand, he has no time, on the other hand, he thinks that this road is a dead end - the soldiers under Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei are good enough. The field battles between the Han and Wei dynasties were generally won by Shu and Han. But what's the use of that? Isn't it impossible to enter?
In short, the training methods of this army established by the traversers themselves must be changed - an army that cannot be simply copied in large quantities is not a good army of this era!
