"My Excellency, I also know what you are worried about, and there is some truth to it. You should know that our military department is no longer what it used to be, and the following staff department is composed of wounded and retired generals in various armies, and they are very familiar with the actual situation in our Cangguo army, and after a lot of hard study, they can be regarded as proficient in the art of war. ”

"Deduction?"

"Yes, when His Majesty used a thing called sand table in the Northern Expedition, several retired generals of our military department felt that this method was very good, so they adopted this method, and more than a dozen deductions were carried out in the past few days, setting up various situations, and finally felt that this method was the most beneficial to the war situation."

Ge Lie's words caused the ministers to think deeply, and everyone invariably focused their attention on Yang Mu.

After all, among all of you here, His Majesty the Emperor is the only one who has commanded two major wars, and he has the most experience and judgment.

Seeing this, Yang Mu smiled faintly.

From the bottom of his heart, he was also very worried.

However, Gretley was right.

When two armies fight, the strength of the army is a big factor, but it does not represent the whole story.

Equipment, morale, time and place, and command ...... These are very important factors.

In the case of China, standing on the long river of history and looking down at every dynasty, there is at least one decisive battle in which less wins more.

From the Battle of Muye in the Zhou Dynasty, to the Battle of Changlao between Qi and Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Battle of Maling between Qi and Wei, and then to the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng in the late Qin Dynasty, the Battle of Kunyang commanded by Liu Xiu, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi in the late Han Dynasty, the Battle of Weishui between the Former Qin and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Battle of Yinshan by Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty, the defeat of 200,000 troops in the Northern Song Dynasty by thousands of Liao troops, the Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, and the change of Tumubao......

As for the Qing Dynasty, not to mention, at the beginning, tens of thousands of cavalry fled with Li Zicheng's millions of peasant troops, and at the beginning of the Opium War at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was always pressed to the ground by foreign troops carrying advanced weapons, and thousands of foreign spearmen dared to kill in the hinterland of China......

That's all, it's just the more famous battles in history, and the rest of the examples of winning more with less are simply too numerous to mention, the most exaggerated Kunyang Battle and the Battle of Weishui, which are dozens of times the strength of the single-handed, and then won a big victory.

If you compare the two wars with the outside world before, it is simply not worth mentioning, and this record will easily be annihilated in the rolling historical trend and become an inconspicuous one among those many cases.

Therefore, the disparity between the forces is not the most important decisive factor in war, and as long as there is superiority in weaponry, morale, time and place, and command decisions, all meet the conditions of winning more with less.

The tactics of the military department are correct.

Moreover, the analysis makes perfect sense!

When the weapons and weapons of Cangguo were placed in front of the battle, and the enemy troops fell one by one, did those soldiers dare to charge again?

As long as there is a slight chill, it will trigger a chain effect, a small piece of collapse will cause a large area of paralysis, plus the addition of 50,000 Qilin troops, 500,000 troops seem to be a lot, but the contact area of the two armies is only a little bit larger, and the situation of a cavalry beheading ten people also exists.

From this point of view, the time problem that Chen You, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was worried about, was simply a false proposition, which only existed in theory.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Yang Mu was stunned, and Shen An reminded him softly beside him, signaling that the ministers were still watching.

"Oh...... That one...... I'm weighing the pros and cons. Yang Mu came back to his senses, and then said: "Since you all have no ideas, let's let the military department show your fists and feet for the time being, tonight, the military department will draw up a document, let me take a look, and make a decision tomorrow." Since you Aiqing have nothing to do, you will all go to your own work, the front-line war is tense, and the logistics will bother you Aiqing. ”

"Yes!"

"The ministers respectfully obey the order, and the ministers retire—"

……

After the ministers retired, Yang Mu sat in the imperial study of the Zichen Hall and opened the results of the transcription in the past few days.

One of them is "The Romance of the Gods".

This book seems to be just a mythological romance, but in essence, it is a kind of immortal who helps mortal emperors seize power.

Once it is publicized, Cangguo will definitely be talked about by the outside world and covered with a veil of mystery by virtue of its two miraculous wars.

For Cangguo, this is extremely advantageous.

Ignorant ordinary people and low-level soldiers will subconsciously accept this view.

Invisibly, it lowers the enemy's morale and increases one's own morale, while at the same time adding a natural legitimacy when ruling the enemy's territory after the war.

Originally, this book was prepared to be taught to the printing house to be made into a book after a slight modification in order to adapt to the current environment of Cangguo.

However, it was delayed because of this sudden incident.

Putting down "Romance of the Gods", Yang Mu picked up a few other books.

"Basic Mathematics", "Basic Biology", "Basic Physics", "Basic Chemistry", "Iron Ore Mining", ......

He plans to give these books to the Ministry of Science and Technology for research first, and then to the Ministry of Education for teaching.

It is expected that within one year, a large number of basic science talents specializing in one of the subjects will be cultivated to accumulate technical foundation for Cangguo.

Tell a guard to hand over the books to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

In the evening, the military headquarters sent a deduction map.

According to the discussion of the General Staff Department of the Ministry of War, the current focus is not on the decisive battle, but on how to bring the Dongguo army together for a decisive battle.

It's a big puzzle.

The commander of the expedition led by Dong Guo this time was Li He, and from his experience of guarding the border with Sheng Guo for many years, it can be seen that this is a person who is good at scheming, and will not get carried away and gather a large army in one place because he has the advantage of his own forces.

In this way, even if the Cang army wants to fight a decisive battle with it, it is unlikely.

How to make him let down his guard and have a large-scale decisive battle with Cangguo?

This is indeed a problem.

However, that night, when he was staying overnight in Miaoxi's palace, he was awakened by a word.

"What Your Majesty wants is nothing more than defeating one of them, so why cling to the Cave Country?" Miao Xi lay on Yang Mu's body, exhaled like an orchid, and snorted.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Your Majesty, this time, is it a royal expedition?" Miao Xi licked her lips.

"Hmm...... Depending on the situation, maybe go. ”

Miao Xi looked overjoyed, and said coquettishly: "Is it good for Your Majesty to take your concubines, you have lived in this harem for more than a year, and you are about to suffocate to death. ”

"Hmm, kill the enemy? Will you still be able to go into battle? Not...... Tell me about ......"

"No, Your Majesty agreed, and the concubine said."
