"When the soldiers were used, there were seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings!" Yan Zhanshu deleted the complicated and simplified ancient military laws he saw on the Internet on weekdays, and the generals listened carefully and kept them in mind.

"If you can do these seventeen points, you will be at least a qualified general, and it will not lead to a big defeat."

Yan Zhanshu saw that everyone was puzzled, and said with a smile: "The way of using soldiers is to be single-minded, and the so-called impermanence of soldiers." When the soldiers are brought into dead soldiers, there is no aura, and they can only form a hard village and fight in a daze, and the current soldiers and horses of the lord cannot afford to fight. Now we need to use our brains and think more about strategies to destroy the enemy with minimal losses. But when the lord's strength has increased greatly, far stronger than the enemy's army, he needs to harden the village, fight in a daze, don't think too much about scheming, just ensure that he does not fall into the enemy's plan. Let the enemy army can only fight painfully with our army until the final destruction. ”

"This consumption is not only the consumption of ordnance and food, but also the consumption of human lives, if you can't bear it, then you will fall into the enemy's plan, go to the enemy's trap, and let your troops suffer greater losses, you are by no means a qualified general, and you are sorry for the soldiers who have sacrificed for victory." Yan Zhanshu said it almost word by word.

The generals clasped their fists and said solemnly: "Remember the teachings of the great sage and good teacher, and never dare to forget!" ”

On the second day, the generals began to change their methods during training, gradually applying what they had learned, and at the same time began to correct their past mistakes and learn from the good experience of others. Especially Hu Cai, he didn't whip the soldiers for a day, so that his soldiers were always frightened, afraid that his general's anger would become more tyrannical after accumulating, but he trained better, so that Hu Cai smiled from ear to ear after training, and the method of the straight military division was effective.

In the evening, everyone gathered in Yan Zhan's study and continued to listen to the lecture.

"Tonight, I will first teach the geography of the time in the art of war." After a slight pause, "The famous generals of the ancients, there are very few generals who have won a hundred battles, and there are many reasons, but there are many losers who do not know the time and geography." Seeing that the generals were thinking, he continued: "Generally, military generals who don't know anything about this are just that, but if they know the geography of heaven and time, and they are still defeated here, what is the reason?" ”

Hu Cai scratched his head and ears, it was difficult to understand, and the generals also whispered. Yan Zhanshu smiled: "There is only one reason, and that is complacency." I thought that the time and geography I mastered could be used all over the world, but I didn't know that there would be a lot of difference in the time of the north to the south, and it would lead to defeat militarily. ”

"For example, in the north in winter, there is only a northwest wind, and there is no southeast wind. In the Jiangnan area, after the winter solstice, there will be a few days of southeast winds. If you don't know this, you will be unprepared for the enemy's use of fire and attack, resulting in defeat. Almost, the burning chibi was about to come out, Yan Zhanshu's words were still stuck in time, there was no bubbling, wiped a cold sweat, and then continued.

"For example, the land in the south is damp and the land in the north is dry. Obviously, when the north is attacking the city, it can attack in the ground, while the south will be flooded as soon as it is dug up, and it can only be climbed to attack the city. However, in some places in the south, the terrain is peculiar, and there are many holes in them, extending in all directions, if you can find the fulcrum of the force and destroy it, the fortified city built on it will also collapse with a bang. ”

"The rivers crisscrossed the south made it difficult for the cavalry in the north to exert their might, while the crossbowmen and sword and shield men were much more powerful."

"But if you only know this, and don't know how to be flexible, you won't know that there are still chariots and soldiers available in the south, so you only need to make a light and strong chariot, which is as indestructible as being pulled by oxen and horses, and Han Xin will use the chariot to break Xiang Yu's 8,000 elite cavalry."

"The cold winter in the north is very long, and the generals in the north know this very well, but in the grassland where there are no houses to protect from the cold, how can they avoid the cold? The champion Hou of that year failed to come up with a way, and his subordinates were greatly reduced, so he had to retreat in a huff and failed to achieve greater achievements. ”

"Gongming, you may come up with some ways to lead the cavalry into battle in the future?"

"Strategist, Huang does know several methods, such as wearing more sheepskin jackets and sleeping with a war horse at night."

"Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and the real solution must start from the cold." Yan Zhanshu explained: "When the water drips into ice in the north, you can build an igloo with water, or directly dig the river to get ice and build an igloo, so that people will not be frostbitten by the cold wind in the igloo, and normal combat effectiveness can be guaranteed." ”

The generals listened to Yan Zhanshu's lectures, and all ordinary and peculiar natural phenomena became the key to the victory or defeat of the war in Yan Zhanshu's mouth, and they were all amazed.

"All in all," Yan Zhanshu summed up tonight: "For the generals, every time they go to a place, they must first investigate the local astronomy and geography, and the fastest way is to ask the local woodcutters and old farmers, the woodcutters know the geography of the mountains, and the old farmers understand the flood season." As long as you are not complacent and humble, you will not be defeated in the geography of the day. ”

When the generals saw Yan Zhanshu finish his lecture, they all felt a little unfinished.

On the evening of the third day, Yan Zhanshu taught a chapter on calculations, so that the generals knew all kinds of calculations, and they were so extreme that they could even completely simulate and calculate a battle on the sand table, and all kinds of strategies made the generals shudder a little when they looked at Yan Zhanshu, and they had all kinds of guesses about why the great sage and good teacher knew so much.

On the evening of the fourth day, Yan Zhanshu gave a lecture on the overall situation of Yang Strategy, mainly introducing Xiao He, who was in charge of internal affairs under Liu Bang, so that everyone could understand the power of such strategists - they could continuously improve the strength of their own forces in the spring breeze and rain, and constantly become stronger, as strong as an overlord, and finally defeated under the siege of a million troops. But how to break the situation, Yan Zhanshu can only put forward one direction, that is, to use yang to conspire, and strength to strength.

On the fifth day, Yan Zhanshu explained the war that had just ended. "The commander of Dong Zhuo's army who fought against our army was Xu Rong, whose reputation was not obvious, but he was the head of the four major lieutenant generals under Dong Zhuo. Everyone also saw that his commanding skill turned out to be Yulin, which perfectly improved the cavalry combat method and turned into flying shooting. What if his cavalry was already capable of flying shots? ”

Everyone gasped, and now they completely understood Xu Rong's terrifyingness, this commander's skill turned out to be a skill that rose with the strength of his subordinates.

"No wonder the great sages and good teachers want to show the enemy weakness, even if the archers are almost dead, they didn't let us attack." Han Xian understood.

"That's why!" Zhou Cang retorted: "The other party used the command skill at that time, and the white light covered not the weapon, but the whole body. I suspect that his ability is not to improve his tactics at all, but to increase the level of his subordinate armies, so the Great Sage and Mentor must wait until the opponent's tactics are invalid before he can give the order to attack. ”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid our bamboo spears won't even be able to shoot through the opponent's iron armor!" Li Le was the second wave of spear throwers, and he knew very well that the effect of throwing guns on the slowed down iron cavalry was much worse, and if it wasn't for the outbreak of the later tactics, it was estimated that the lethality would be worrying. Not to mention the Iron Rider with the improved Commander Skill.

"Therefore, the timing of the great sage and good teacher's order is neither early nor late, and it is just right." Mrs. Guo added, and immediately made everyone look at Yan Zhanshu with a look of admiration.
