"Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, strictness, all these five, will not be heard, those who know win, those who do not know will not win." The first sentence "The major affairs of the country, only worship and Rong" shows that Liu Yong attaches great importance to martial arts, and the second sentence explains the quality that a general should have.

Liu Yong's purpose in establishing martial arts was very clear, to train qualified middle and lower-level military attachés to prepare for the future Northern Expedition.

During the period of the rivalry, the main forces of the princes' armies consisted of a large number of militias who lacked formal training and weaponry, and they often fought in a flock to the army, without discipline and on the basis of one morale. At this time, the style of heads-up was generally prevalent, and the morale of not accepting heads-up would be seriously damaged, and not only middle- and lower-level military attachés, but also high-ranking military attachés were also very likely to accept heads-up.

Not to mention going it alone, even taking the lead, charging ahead, and attacking the city first are all acceptable.

The representative figures are Cao Apu's Xu Chu, Li Dian, etc., and it is famous that Guan Yu killed Yan Liang in the army, for which Apu also presented the emperor to Guan Guan for the title of Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

But at that time, it was the early days of the Three Kingdoms, and the warlords were fighting, and in order to enclose the regiment and expand their power, everyone had to play with their lives!

Later, when the Three Kingdoms were established, it was obvious that the number of troops had dropped a lot, but the quality had improved by more than a few levels, and the miscellaneous armed forces of half peasants and half soldiers had been transformed into professional soldiers, with brilliant morale and excellent preparations, and the role of the generals at this time was to plan strategies and command large-scale battles.

At this time, the war was mostly fought for comprehensive strength, and in addition to the conspiracy against the sky, the role of ordinary strategies and strategies was greatly weakened, not to mention heads-up.

Therefore, according to the changes in the war situation, Liu Yong set up a martial arts academy to train middle and senior military attachés, teach them the art of war and arithmetic, and then let veterans such as Zhao Yun and Ma Dai teach experience and combat examples.

"Its order: Jun Sima and above, Zhonglang and below, all enter the martial arts academy in batches, and Xiaochang martial arts will last for four months."

In fact, the martial arts academy established by Liu Yong is quite different from the military academies of later generations, it is not responsible for the assembly-line production of officers, but is more like a kind of training class for officers.

As for the reason for this, in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the combat forms and types of weapons of the army were far less complex and numerous than those of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

For example, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Shaofu Zhang Han led the prisoners to send a letter to the valley to meet the Kwantung armies, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang led the Northern Expedition, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi successively served as generals to lead the troops to fight, and all kinds of Yunwen and Yunwu.

Explaining the matter of Biwu Academy to the generals, Liu Yong led Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing to the secluded place of Jiaomen, clapped his palms, and Chuntuo moved a good horse to appear in everyone's sight.

Zhao Yun, who has been with horses all year round, immediately discovered that this BMW is eight feet tall at the shoulder, huge in size, and infinite in strength, I am afraid that even if it is carrying hundreds of pounds of weight, there is no situation where it cannot afford to start.

Zhao Yun didn't know what Liu Yong's intentions were, and asked at the moment, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

The corners of Liu Yong's mouth pulled up a ghostly smile, stirrups and horseshoes have been used maturely, so ...... Isn't it...... It's time for the heavy cavalry to appear!

Zhao Yun didn't cross over like Liu Yong, so it was naturally impossible to know what the heavy cavalry was.

Liu Yongdao: "Zhao Gong, if I select 5,000 tall and skilled warriors from the army, let them wear the strongest armor and hold the sharpest spears, and ride on this high-headed horse as a force to crush the enemy's defensive formation. You...... What do you think? ”

Zhao Yun did not hesitate and said awe-inspiringly: "With such a cavalry, the lethality should be amazing!" ”

In military affairs, many things are integrated, so although Zhao Yun has never heard of or seen heavy armored cavalry, just after Liu Yong said this, he immediately realized the huge lethality of heavy cavalry.

Liu Yong nodded and said, "How amazing is the lethality? It's simply invincible! ”

"Then what is Your Majesty hesitating about?" Zhang Bao said abruptly, "Hurry up and form such a cavalry." ”

Looking at the young and vigorous Zhang Bao, Liu Yong said indifferently: "Qing don't worry, I have previously ordered Pu Yuan, a master craftsman in Shuzhong, to take the exam and order Li Yang to build heavy armor, as for the proposal to form a heavy cavalry, I have to wait until I discuss with the prime minister and the imperial historian and observe the effect of heavy armor." ”

"Oh............"

Hearing that the heavy armored cavalry was still on paper, it was just an idea, and everyone's interest in being mentioned by Liu Yong fell back instantly.

Liu Yong emphasized: "I am giving you a wake-up call today, you can imagine at will, if you form a heavy armored cavalry, how to choose its combat mode and array?" ”

The four of Zhao, Ma and Zhangguan are almost the generals of the heavy armored cavalry unit decided by Liu Yong in the future, and it is necessary for them to have a bottom in their hearts.

And Ma Dai said worriedly: "Your Majesty, although your idea of heavy armored cavalry is good, if you are accidentally stolen by Wei Wei, you will inevitably do bad things with good intentions!" ”

"Although our army is not short of horses, the quality of horses and the mobilization ability of personnel and equipment are far inferior to Wei Yi."

As the saying goes: the northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats.

Liu Yong...... Of course I understand this!

However, if Shu Han wants to change his fate and defeat the strong with the weak, he can't look forward and backward so much! Only the sword goes sideways, and the trick is to win, don't take any step by step, and act cautiously!

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was not so much a Northern Expedition, but a strategic offensive instead of defense, and offense was an active defense!

The conditions for the formation of the Three Kingdoms are that the warlords in the north are fighting in the melee, and the south is relatively stable, but once everyone is fully focused on economic construction, the time must not be on the side of Shu Han, so the northern expedition must be carried out.

The Northern Expedition made it possible to obtain land and people, and second, it could contain and harass the development of the Yongliang region of the Wei State, and prevent the gap in strength between the Han and Wei sides from widening rapidly.

Every time Zhuge Liang went on a northern expedition, he carefully arranged the route, captured one place and then went down to another city, and the partial division withdrew and retreated after a slight defeat, always refusing to confront the Wei army, and never engaged in large-scale battles and decisive battles with the Wei army.

It's a bit like the Eighth Route Army fighting guerrillas, focusing on preserving its strength, showing its head and firing two shots from time to time, which makes you feel uneasy.

Zhuge Liang did this, of course, because the Shu Han national strength was weak, and the failure of a battle and decisive battle might bury the main force of the Han army, resulting in a situation where the Wei army drove straight into the country and no one guarded the gate of the Shu Han country.

And the defeat of the Wei army in a battle and decisive battle is irrelevant, painless. It's just tens of thousands of people, brother plays, and then sends reinforcements from the Kwantung Expedition, fight for the foundation, Shu Han and Dongwu together can't consume Wei!

So after the change was temporarily impossible, Liu Yong had been thinking about a way out, and finally let him come up with a large-scale, unrivaled ancient and modern whale swallowing scheme, today's Shu Han wants to win, only the military is dangerous, protruding a "strange" word!

The first war determines the country, bet on the fortune of the country!

This plan can be regarded as an enhanced version of Meridian Valley's route to Chang'an, but compared to the former, Liu Yong's plan is more reasonable, has a greater hope of success, and ...... Even if it fails, the price paid is just a partial teacher, and it doesn't hurt the vitality.

The most important thing is that, given the current conditions and the strength of the Wei army in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, the hope of its success is very great!

Therefore, Liu Yong replied to Ma Dai and said: "Ma Qing, something like a heavy armored cavalry, I didn't expect to keep it from being known by the Wei thief, you will know it as soon as you use it, and I, just need its unexpected huge effect for the first time!" ”
