Chapter 218: Academic Center: The Ghost Valley Doctrine

A master like Guiguzi was able to reach Taoqiu, and Dai Yan felt extremely honored! In this Warring States era of strife, Dai Yan certainly hopes to learn all the wisdom of the soldiers and the Zongheng family in Guiguzi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoTherefore, for Guiguzi to ask him for game science, he naturally told him all the truths he knew.

Dai Yan did this, and soon Guiguzi reciprocated him and taught him the art of war of this era.

As a person who personally led troops on an expedition to Vietnam, Dai Yan was naturally no stranger to the military of this era. Therefore, as soon as he came into contact with the art of war of the Guiguzi School, he had to be amazed by the subtlety of its art of war!

The earliest recorded art of war in China should be the "Taigong Conspiracy" written by Jiang Taigong. As for the most famous art of war, it is none other than Sun Wu's "The Art of War". However, in today's Warring States Period, and even in the Cold Weapon Era, the most practical art of war is definitely the art of war of the Guiguzi faction!

After Dai Yan handed over the game science to Guiguzi, he soon obtained the art of war of the Guigu faction. The art of war is to tell the monarchs of various countries in detail how to win the war!

It is extremely detailed, including the reserve of national strength, the selection of troops, and the skills of how to train the army. After reading this part, you can know how to build a strong country in this Warring States era. In Dai Yan's mind, Shang Ying should be this part of the knowledge to learn.

As for war, it teaches people in detail how to fight on the battlefield, how to command armies, how to line up when attacking, and how to defend when defending. There is a detailed explanation of how to act when you have infantry and chariots in your hands, and the latest war history is quoted to explain it! This part is just what Pang Juan, a famous general of the Wei State, learned.

And the Guigu faction attaches great importance to the latest developments in the war! Even about this era, the latest new army: cavalry, Guiguzi has not let go at all! He foresaw that this class of troops would play a decisive role in future wars, and called the cavalry the king of future land wars!

Such a prediction makes a traverser like Dai Yan have to be shocked!

And among the art of war of the Guigu faction, there is nothing more outstanding than its description of strategy! This strategy includes how to see the entire battlefield from the whole picture, and how to defeat a strong enemy with a weak army. The one who learned this part of the knowledge should be Sun Bin.

In order to make people understand the strategy more clearly, he directly quoted the war histories of his two apprentices, that is, the battle of Guiling and the battle of Maling between Pang Juan and Sun Bin!

In Guiguzi's description, he believes that among his two apprentices, the main reason why Sun Bin is superior to Pang Juan is that Sun Bin is better than Pang Juan in strategy! The soldiers and horses in Sun Bin's hands are the skilled fighters of the Qi State, and the head-on battle is not the opponent of Wei Wushu, so the Qi army chose to use its strengths and avoid weaknesses and not directly engage in a head-on battle!

When Guiguzi evaluated the Battle of Guiling, he fully affirmed that Sun Bin was not confined to the strategic gains and losses of one city and one pool, but focused on the overall strategic concept. During the Battle of Guiling, the Qi army mobilized the Wei army by encircling Wei and saving Zhao, thus seizing the initiative on the battlefield. The battle between the Qi army and the Wei army was to introduce the Wei army into an ambush circle in advance, which was tactically defensive, so that the Qi army, which had low combat effectiveness, could confront the Wei army head-on; And strategically, this is the offensive!

The Battle of Guiling is a standard example of defending instead of attacking!

Seeing Guiguzi's art of war, many doubts in Dai Yan's heart were solved, and his understanding of strategy and tactics in his heart was also deepened!

For a master like Guiguzi, of course, he can't let it go. Therefore, he directly asked the other party to let his generals bow to his door. Dai Yan chose Tang Ying, Xiao Xiang and Le Yi!

These three people are the most powerful and trusted people under Dai Yan. Tang Ying and Xiao Xiang were the first to defect to Dai Yan and start a family with Dai Yan. And both of them had experienced wars with Chu and Yue, and if they learned the art of war, they could learn more.

And Le Yi is a general who followed Zhao Xue to marry to the Song Kingdom, not to mention his reputation in the future, even if he once used cavalry with Zhao Xue on the border of Qin and Zhao, it is impossible for Dai Yan to miss him!

And after Guiguzi accepted the three people under Dai Yan and promised to pass on his art of war, he personally selected three people to be apprentices in Taoqiu University, specializing in teaching the way of vertical and horizontal strategy, these three people are the three Su brothers from Luoyang, the capital of Zhou: Su Qin, Su Dai, and Su Li.

It's not that Dai Yan didn't want to stuff more apprentices over, but this Guiguzi's vision is too high. He also had some self-cherished thoughts about his scholarship, and he would rather let his doctrine decline forever than allow it to be passed on to mediocre people and ruin his reputation!

In his eyes, the three people sent by Dai Yan personally, that is, Le Yi, are not satisfactory, and Tang Ying and Xiao Xiang are completely unworthy talents in his eyes!

And for the three lands he personally accepted, Su Qin, Su Dai, and Su Li, he was very satisfied! Especially Su Qin, who is weak in his age, in Guiguzi's opinion, this young man is extremely talented, and he will definitely be able to surpass his apprentice Zhang Yi, who brought the vertical and horizontal doctrine to the whole world, in the future!

You must know that today's Zhang Yi is already the prime minister of Qin, a powerful country in the world! If Dai Yan hadn't known about Su Qin's achievements in later history, he would probably have been like the people of this era, and he would never have dared to believe Guiguzi's prophecy!

This Mr. Guiguzi accepted six apprentices in Taoqiu University, Dai Yan originally thought that it was over, but when the hostess of Taoqiu returned to the city, the situation changed again!

Zhao Xue actually worshiped his name again when Guiguzi promised not to accept apprentices again, and was immediately taken seriously!

Dai Yan was extremely strange about this, and when he asked Zhao Xue how he did this, Zhao Xue replied lightly: "I just asked Mr. Guiguzi to go outside Taoqiu City to watch the cavalry I personally trained, and let him see the momentum of galloping horses, and he agreed to accept me as an apprentice!" ā€

For such a result, Dai Yan was also a little speechless. But after all, it was in his favor, and of course he was happy to see it happen.

And after Taoqiu had seven professors, he thought carefully about Guiguzi's words, and he really felt that there were too few talents in the entire Taoqiu! Thinking about such a big pottery mound, only seven people can enter the eyes of Guiguzi, and the two most loyal people under him are mediocre talents in the eyes of Guiguzi, which makes Dai Yan feel that he is extremely unqualified as a traverser!

He thought of a way to improve the talents of his subordinates: to start compulsory education for his subordinates from an early age, so as to improve the quality of the entire Taoqiu subordinates!

Regarding the implementation of compulsory education, Dai Yan actually thought about it a long time ago. In the world he crossed over, he felt the most incredible about the rise of the world's peoples, especially the German nation!

In the two world wars, the whole world saw the great strength of the German army, and recognized it as the world's strongest individual army! However, the German army was able to do this thanks to the strongest education system in the country!

Many people think that the strength of the German army came after Bismarck came to power in Prussia, because in the 70s of the 19th century, Prussia launched three wars in succession and gradually unified Germany. And the most talked about by military fans is that in the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussian army directly defeated and captured more than 500,000 French troops with more than 100,000 casualties!

As for the key to the victory in the Franco-Prussian War, the words of the Chief of the Prussian General Staff Moltke were very straightforward: the victory of Prussia was laid down long ago on the podium of an elementary school teacher.

This kind of statement is definitely not without reason. Compulsory education originated in the Duchy of Weimar in Germany, and it was Prussia that really carried it forward. As early as 1717, King Wilhelm I of Prussia promulgated the Compulsory Education Act, which made compulsory education compulsory for all minor citizens of Prussia! This decree greatly improved the national intelligence and quality of Prussia, and had an important impact on the revival of the German nation.

When King William I's son Frederick the Great reigned 40 years later, the Seven Years' War broke out. In Europe, Prussia, with an army composed of highly qualified citizens, fought against France, Austria, and Tsarist Russia, the three leading powers in Europe. Prussia's army was only one-third of the Triple Alliance, and its population was only one-twentieth of that of the three countries. After the war, he even carved up Poland with Austria and Tsarist Russia!

For Dai Yan, the way of educating a strong country is worth learning from!

The implementation of compulsory education will improve the quality of the people in the entire Taoqiu. After the gradual start of the basic industry in the pottery hills, the number of highly qualified workers began to limit the growth and continued prosperity of the pottery hills' economy.

And with the reality that Taoqiu is getting richer and richer now, it will definitely be attacked by neighboring countries in the future! Having a strong army is definitely a guarantee that Dai Yan will be able to sleep peacefully in the future!

And in today's Guiguzi's art of war, there are also various skills for training strong soldiers, and among all these skills, there is a crucial one: high-quality soldiers must be used!
