Chapter 237: The Art of War and the Theory of War
When the morning sun rose as usual, there was a lively noise on the post road leading to Yuzhou.
Zhongqiu opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the nurses and family members who were trained like dead dogs outside with envy, but were still happy, and pleaded: "Mother, let the children go out together, the children want to train with them." ”
Shen Xiyu frowned and said: "Qiu'er, you are the son of a dignified prince, how can you mix with them, what kind of system is this?" ”
Zhongqiu defended: "Mother, that's different. It's been a long way to Donghai County, and no one knows what will happen on the way. Besides, he hasn't left the territory of Liangzhou yet, in case there are Mengyuan dog soldiers or bandits who appear, if he doesn't practice his skills, how can he save himself? ”
"This ......" Shen Xiyu hesitated for a while.
At this time, Zhong Qinghan rushed over, heard the conversation between the two of them, and stepped forward to persuade: "Aunt Yu, what Xiaoqiu said is right. If I don't have a good martial arts and don't know how to lead soldiers to fight, how can I succeed in making a name for myself? ”
"Taking advantage of the fact that the Black Crow Army is training now, there is this good opportunity, it is better to let Xiaoqiu train together. Boys just have to be beaten a few more times to be solid. In the future, Zhongfu will rely on Xiaoqiu and the eldest brother to survive. ”
Shen Xiyu listened to Zhong Qinghan's words, and finally made up her mind, "Then Qiu'er will please let you take care of Qinghan." Qiu'er, since you have decided, then your mother will not stop you, but since you have done it, you must try to do your best, and your mother doesn't want to hear the news that you gave up halfway. ”
Zhongqiu was overjoyed and said, "Mother, don't worry, the child will definitely not let you down." With that, he jumped out of the carriage and ran past the training team at the front door.
Seeing this, Shen Xiyu and Zhong Qinghan couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, this is still a child who hasn't grown up.
Suddenly, Shen Xiyu asked, "Qinghan, do you think the master will have something to do with them?" ”
Zhong Qinghan's heart sank, she had already guessed in her heart about this answer, her father and mother were poisoned, if she usually found a quiet place and found a few miracle doctors, maybe there was still hope for detoxification.
However, they disregarded their own health and resolutely rushed to the front line of the battlefield, presumably at this moment, there must be more than auspicious, otherwise it would not be possible to divide so many cavalry to chase after them yesterday.
She shook her head and said, "Aunt Yu, I'm not sure about this, but my father is strong in martial arts, even if Xining City falls, presumably they will be able to escape, so don't worry too much." Maybe they are on their way to Yumen Pass now, ready to wait for the arrival of the imperial army and counterattack Xining together. ”
Shen Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and a smile appeared on her face, "If that's the case, the concubine body will be at ease." ”
……
"Quick! Speed up a little faster, and the 100 people who are behind will halve the breakfast portion today. ”
Xu Lin's vicious voice echoed above the heads of the group of Black Crow Army and the Escort Team, the training of the Black Crow Army, but he brought it out single-handedly.
When he set up camp last night, Su Ziheng called the commanders of several of their leading troops and Shi Meng to a meeting. Since Su Ziheng wanted to take advantage of the time he was in Donghai County to transform this team, the first thing to do was the army.
Although he has a very close relationship with Zhong Qinghan now, several of them in the know know that they and Zhong Qinghan are in the church, and they are the uncle of the entire Black Crow Army and Zhong Mansion, and they all respect him very much on the surface.
But what Su Ziheng wants is not the respect on the surface, what he wants is the convincing of everyone in the entire team. With his ability to invite the dragon god, in the hearts of ordinary people, no one dares to disobey him. However, it is different in the Crow Army, and it is not so easy to easily convince them.
In order to train an elite soldier who can listen to commands and can fight, it is first necessary to have strict discipline and scientific and effective training methods, and secondly, to pass actual combat.
The Crow Army has enough actual combat, but the members of the escort team led by Shi Meng are a little worse, he doesn't panic about this, anyway, he has traveled thousands of miles all the way, and there is always a chance for them to fight.
Although there were peasant uprisings in Great Xia, there were still many bandits and bandits in various states and counties, and it was just right to train them and increase some income. Otherwise, relying on Su Ziheng's subsidy alone, nearly 5,000 people will eat horses, and the pressure is quite great, and he doesn't want to hollow out his old bottom.
At the meeting, Su Ziheng only announced one thing, all members of the Crow Army and members of the escort team must be literate. Su Ziheng didn't want them to take the imperial examination, but an iron army must first have its own military soul and thoughts.
If you don't read and write, it will be difficult to explain many truths to them, and relying on orders alone is not a long-term way. Su Ziheng knew what kind of situation he would face when he went to Donghai County, to put it bluntly, it was still a place of chaos at the junction with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and if he didn't have a strong force to protect himself, he would soon be gnawed to the bones by others.
If you rely on the 3,000-strong Black Crow Army and the escort team alone, you will not be able to hold Donghai County, and the number of troops must be expanded at that time. It is just right to send the elite soldiers in the Crow Army as the backbone to expand the strength.
As a commander and general, if you don't know how to read and write, how can you do it? If nothing else, I can't understand the instructions given above, so how can I do it?
What's more, in the space warehouse of Su Ziheng Base, there are all the secret books of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military books on the earth in the previous life, and if you choose one or two books to teach them, you can create a general who is good at leading troops to fight.
Even Su Ziheng has decided on the first two military books to be taught, one is "The Art of War" and the other is "On War", these two books represent the masterpieces of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign art of war on the earth in the previous life.
It stands to reason that these two classic theoretical works cannot be easily taught, otherwise once someone leaks them, it will cause a strong shock to the generals of the entire continent.
However, because this first batch of crow troops and escorts are all tested for a long time, they are the descendants of Zhong Qinghan and Su Ziheng, and they are not worried that they will betray them.
It's just because these two masterpieces are too classic to be easily understood by ordinary people, so Su Ziheng asked them all to learn to read and write, and then selected elite people from them and chose to teach them.
There will be no more than ten people in the first batch who can learn these two masterpieces, including Zhong Qinghan, Leng Huo, Xu Lin, Tie Shan, Shi Meng and others, and the remaining five places depend on who is the most literate before they can be selected.
"The Art of War" Zhong Qinghan had already studied with her teacher, the soldier Sage Sun Mu, when she was in the Jixia School Palace, so not only did she not have to learn anymore, but she could also be a teacher.
"On War" is something she has never seen, since Su Ziheng transcribed the first chapter, she has been deeply obsessed with it, unable to extricate herself, holding Su Ziheng's manuscript, she can't put it down, and she will discuss the content of the book with him whenever she has time, which can be said to be almost to the point of going crazy.
