Chapter 68: Drill with He Cangwu Sand Table (I)
Time passed quickly, three days passed in a flash, and Li Gengyun followed He Cangwu to Menglin Academy early in the morning.
In these three days, Li Gengyun digested all the knowledge of the 300 books in the collection of Menglin Academy in his mind, whether it was astronomy, geography or customs, as long as there were things mentioned in the book, he still remembered them vividly.
"Meng Lin Academy has a collection of 300 books, and you have read them all. I won't say much about the rest, you and I know the art of war, so let's get straight to the point! ”
He Cangwu put the pillar staff to the side as he spoke, and then pushed out the military performance sand table.
"Senior He, you actually ......"
Li Gengyun was a little surprised when he saw that He Cangwu's hands and feet were nimble, which was completely different from the old arms and legs he had shown before, and after being surprised, he thought of He Cangwu's intentions, so he laughed: "It's hidden in the city, and the old predecessors of He are really hidden!" ”
Just after Li Gengyun finished saying this, he suddenly heard a "click", and then saw He Cangwu holding his lumbar spine, his face painful.
"Uh....... Just when I didn't say it! ”
"Don't come here to help yet!"
He Cangwu covered his lumbar spine and shouted at Li Gengyun angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Gengyun thought that the sand table of this military exercise should not be heavy, but he was completely wrong, this sand table was not the same size as the previous sand table, and it was much heavier.
"Senior, borrow your cane!"
At this time, Li Gengyun suddenly thought of borrowing the means of strength, and after saying that he wanted to borrow He Cangwu's cane, he reached out and picked it up, and then leaned against the table legs and table flutes, and pushed lightly, and the military exercise sand table moved in the direction he was exerting force. After repeating it a few times, the sand table came to the middle of the classroom.
"That's good, learn and use it!"
"Hehe, it's ugly, it's ugly!"
"Let's get started!"
He Cangwu directly removed the cloth covering the sand table of the military exercise, and Li Gengyun was immediately pleasantly surprised when he saw the sand table.
"This turned out to be the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Hehe, in the past three hundred years, the cities and courts of the Great Zhou have changed, but the changes in the mountains and rivers should not be too big, so this is the mountain and river map of the Great Zhou."
"Now you represent yourself, choose a place in the south as your territory!"
He Cangwu said to Li Gengyun with a smile, and then he pointed to the map of mountains and rivers south of Huangshui and asked the other party to choose the area.
"Senior He, do you mean to simulate Baili Xi and me in the future?"
"It's not the future Bailixi, but the current Bailixi and you."
"Good!"
This is indeed a challenge for Li Gengyun, Baili Xi is now in control of the army of the Northern Yuan, and the Central Plains north of Huangshui, which will be unified for some time to come. And Li Gengyun can only choose a certain state in the south as the sphere of influence for future development. To fight against Baili Xi and the entire Northern Yuan army with the strength of one state, this is the problem He Cangwu gave him.
"Today, if you can defeat me, I believe that even if Baili Xi's talent surpasses me, you will not lose too badly!" He Cangwu still had a smile on his face, he stroked his beard after saying this, and then said again very confidently, "But I think there should be no one in the world who can beat me." ”
"He seniors, be cautious! In case the juniors are lucky enough to defeat the seniors, please don't get angry! ”
"Phew, you're really thick-skinned, and after only three days of study, you think you're invincible in the world? Stinky and shameless! ”
"It's not like learning from the old-timers......"
An old man and a young man joked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious.
But jokes aside, after the choice of the number of military horses between the two was settled, Li Gengyun's face looked very solemn, he knew that the difference in strength between the enemy and us was too big, and he also knew that he would inevitably need to choose Xiangzhou as his sphere of influence in the future, so he chose Xiangzhou on the military exercise sand table.
And He Cangwu was not surprised at all when he saw that Li Gengyun chose Xiangzhou, the small stone horses in his hands fell one after another, and after some deployment, his expression gradually turned serious.
"The old gentleman occupies the Central Plains north of the Yellow Water, and there are two important military assets in Xizhou and Northern Xinjiang, with enough soldiers and food, and there are four generals of Yuntian, several captains of the Northern Yuan Wolf Knights, and the three marshals of the Northern Yuan Imperial Court, which can be described as strong!"
"Oh? Is it? There are so many generals in Baili Xi's hands, so it's really cheap. So what is the situation in Xiangzhou? ”
"Xiangzhou people are outstanding, Xiangyang Sijie is naturally the first choice of Wenchen, plus the general Ma Wenlong, Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Quantong and his son Quanfang, they are also both civil and military, with 50,000 elite soldiers, and they can be called local heroes."
"Based on the strength of the Central Plains at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I have at least 300,000 to 400,000 regular troops in my hands, and since the Northern Yuan can destroy the Great Song Dynasty, then the army in his hands is at least 200,000. However, since it is an offensive war, there will inevitably be losses. Baili Xi secretly collaborated with the enemy, and the losses were reduced by half. All in all, I should have about 500,000 troops in my hands! So I didn't get it wrong! ”
Li Gengyun did not count the troops that He Cangwu had deployed north of Huangshui, what he was concerned about was what He Cangwu's next move would be.
"If it is Baili Xi, he knows that after Zhao Zhen owns Xiangzhou, he will inevitably form an alliance with the other four states, and he will also borrow troops from Southern Chu, so that the unification of the south should be in three to five years, and after the unification, it will be time for Baili Xi to close the net."
"You unify the south, I don't care at all, I won't interfere too much, but occasionally come back to hunt and kill people along the Yellow Water!"
After He Cangwu heard what Li Gengyun said, he picked up eight small stone horses and placed them on the edge of the yellow water near the two states in the south of the Yangtze River: "Eighty thousand troops, occasionally sweep!" ”
"Huaishui and Jianyang are both important military towns, and they are heavily guarded, so I'm afraid that your 80,000 military horses will not come back."
"Run after the fight, never stay!"
"Secretly ambushed, when crossing the river, the group attacked it, and taught you not to dare to cross the yellow water for half a step!"
Although Li Gengyun controlled Xiangzhou, he could still mobilize the military horses in Jiangzhou and Nanzhou, so he pulled out 40,000 military horses from the two areas and stationed them in the two cities of Huaishui and Jianyang respectively to defend and ambush the 80,000 troops who came to sweep.
"Sweep blocked, recuperate! After the autumn harvest, cross the river and storm it! ”
"The Xiangzhou Navy crisscrossed the Yellow Water, and before the autumn harvest, forcibly plundered the grain and grass along the northern coast!"
"An army of 100,000 is in ambush!"
"Fire Attack! Burn the wheat fields! ”
"Wonderful!"
When He Cangwu heard that Li Gengyun used the strategy of burning the wheat field, he suddenly had a big understanding, raised his finger and said a wonderful word to him, and then scattered the 100,000 soldiers and horses with a smile.
