Li Gang and Li Boji finally arrived in Cangzhou, from Tokyo to Cangzhou, the journey was not very close, more than 20 days and a month's foot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Obviously, this Li Gang also came very quickly.

Although Zheng Zhi and Li Gang are acquaintances, they haven't really dealt with each other. Zheng Zhi also only relied on Li Gang's interest in the battle array, and probably judged that Li Gang and himself would be all the way, the magistrate of Yanshan County was vacant, please transfer Li Gang to Yanshan Renzhi County, Li Gang came happily, and also expressed Li Gang's attitude towards Zheng Zhi.

The two met in Jingluo Mansion, and after greetings, Li Gang didn't say much, and asked directly: "Zheng Xianggong, I heard on the road that tens of thousands of thieves came to Qingchi, but they were all easily killed and retreated by Xianggong, such a wonderful thing, but I missed it." ”

Zheng Zhi saw Li Gang's radiant appearance, and said with a smile: "Bo Ji, you are just hearsay, there are only more than 2,000 thieves in total, led by the anti-thief Chai Jin, there are 14500 people who were killed in battle, and 6,000 people escaped. Boji, as soon as you came, you said that this war was really a Jinshi in vain, haha... ”

Li Gang laughed when he heard Zheng Zhi, and also smiled: "I've been reading for more than ten years, it's really boring, but I've never seen this battle array, it's a pity." ”

Zheng Zhi thought to himself that this Li Gang was really an outlier in this era, throughout the ages, there were many people who wrote from Rong, and there were not many people who could say that reading was boring, and there were not many people in this era who retained a supreme reverence for the way of sages.

Zheng Zhi looked at Li Gang's eyes lit up as soon as he talked about the battle formation, and said with a smile: "Bo Ji Miaoren, if you lead the troops into battle one day, I don't know what it looks like?" ”

When Li Gang heard this, he was even more energetic, and replied: "Recently, I am already familiar with this art of war, and if I lead the troops one day, I will definitely be full of wisdom and strategizing. ”

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this, he usually didn't see people in the battle formation, he probably had such an idea about war, how to plan and defeat the enemy, seeing Li Gang's appearance, Zheng Zhi asked again: "What do you think Boji thinks can determine victory or defeat?" ”

Li Gang didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "The good will win, and the mediocre will lose." Sun Bin ambushed Pang Juan, and the plan to reduce the stove made Pang Juan go deep alone, which was a miraculous victory. Qin Zhibai started and surrounded Zhao 400,000, and from then on, only Qin was the only one, and he was also a general. Is it so? ”

Zheng Zhi looked at Li Gang, this young scholar is not without wisdom, but he does not have a deep understanding of the battle array, there is the Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature and light martial arts, which is like this. Not to mention the young Li Gang, it is those scholars and doctors who sit firmly above the court, and there are a few who know military affairs, and most of them do not have such a simple insight as Li Gang now.

More people think that more soldiers and generals can win, and Sun Tzu also said that if there is an enemy ten times, the siege can win. There are 800,000 forbidden troops in the world, and the world is too peaceful.

Zheng Zhimo rubbed his hands and said slowly: "To win the war, there are only a few good strategies, one is that the soldiers are strong, the discipline is strict, and the order is forbidden. Second, the weapons are excellent, the iron armor is heavy, and the horses are well-studied. The third is to have money and food. Only after these three can there be a general's strategy. It is also possible to defend the general, or to be an enterprising general, as long as it is not a fool, the battle can not be defeated! No matter how clever the strategy is, in the end, it is also a soldier's sword, the general's talent can win a big victory, the lieutenant general's talent can win a small victory, the general's talent can be undefeated, and the talentless general will not care. ”

Li Gang was shocked when he heard this, this theory is really different from all the military books. But I didn't think that the person who wrote the military book must know the military affairs, and on the military book, naturally only the methods of fighting the war are written, but the basis for not writing much about the war. What Zheng Zhi said is the basis of fighting a war, and what is the basis of winning a war.

Although there are too many factors that affect the victory or defeat of the war, what Zheng Zhi said is the foundation, without these foundations, where will victory come from. To put it bluntly, it is morale, courage, equipment level, and economic level. Otherwise, no matter how strange the general of the army is, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, the siege is not tight, the attack is not overcome, and the defense is not controlled, where is there still victory at all.

"Xianggong, if there is no good general, how can you defeat the enemy?" Li Gang was a little subversive in his heart, and when he asked again, he was also thinking in his heart.

"This is complementary to each other, there are excellent troops, there are good generals, and it is natural to defeat the enemy. The battle formation is a strategy, but it is not a small strategy, it is actually the trend of the overall situation, and the bravery of the soldiers and generals is the basis for victory. Zheng Zhi said, but it was difficult to say too much, the two talked like this, and it was difficult to analyze the war in depth for a while.

However, it was this conversation that Zheng Zhi already had the idea of establishing a military academy in his heart, and using a modern analysis model to conduct an in-depth analysis of the war as a whole. The necessity of war, the preparation for war, the training and ideological work of the army, and the practical application of the methods of war.

"Did Xianggong say that as long as the army is excellent, the war will not be defeated?" Li Gang listened to the words before and after, and summed up such a sentence by himself.

Zheng Zhi listened to Li Gang's summary, thought about what he said before, and seemed to convey such a concept, and replied: "This is the foundation, the sophistication of the army is not one aspect, it is judged comprehensively, I am going to establish a martial arts school in Cangzhou to analyze the war in depth, if you are interested, you can come and listen." ”

Why did Zheng Zhi repeatedly emphasize the sophistication of the army at this time? However, Zheng Zhi knew that the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty had the most important relationship with the uselessness of the Great Song Dynasty's forbidden army. Just like this Cangzhou forbidden army, where can it be called an army, this kind of army gathers more than 100,000 to fight, and it is strange that it can win the war.

If this kind of army is like a wolf in the face of the Jurchen iron horse, it is really like a paper paste. The difficulty of Jingkang is also an inevitable thing.

"Okay, if the prime minister talks about martial arts, he will definitely send someone to inform him." Li Gang heard Zheng Zhi's words, and seemed to be more interested in the battle array. Literati are smart people, and they can naturally learn theoretical things thoroughly, but the more transparent Li Gang is at this time, the more questions he has.

Zheng Zhi nodded, when Li Gang first arrived, he naturally had to arrange a meal of wine and food. was about to get up and ask Li Gang to go to the side hall.

But at this time, Pei Xuan hurriedly entered the hall, and said in his mouth: "Xianggong, urgent official document." ”

Zheng Zhi stepped forward to take the official document handed over by Pei Xuan, looked at it for a moment, and smiled: "It's okay, don't worry about him." ”

Pei Xuan hurriedly said: "Xianggong, the bandits surrounded Qingzhou, and the prefect of Murong sent a letter asking for help, do you really ignore it?" ”

Zheng Zhi nodded and said: "How many thieves can there be on Qingfeng Mountain, how can they break the big city of Qingzhou, where do Song Jiang, Wang Ying, Yan Shun, and Zheng Tianshou have the ability to attack Qingzhou, this Murong prefect is really cowardly." ”

Of course, this Qingzhou Murong prefect is not only cowardly, but also extremely stupid. Song Jiang led Hua Rong and Wang Ying to bring hundreds of minions to fight against Qin Ming in Qingzhou, and Murong Prefect heard that Qin Ming had taken refuge in thieves and plundered the people of Qingzhou, so he arrested Qin Ming's family and cut them down on the city.

But I don't want to think about it, a state is under the control of soldiers and horses, what motive is there to take refuge in hundreds of bandits? What's more, Qin Ming's family is still in the city. This kind of simple truth can be understood by a person, but this Murong prefect can't understand it.

"Xianggong, since this Murong Prefect has come to ask for help, I'm afraid that the situation is really urgent." Pei Xuan said again, it is also for the sake of Zheng Zhi, the thieves attacked Qingzhou, and Cangzhou was not saved after a little death, which is naturally a big crime.

"It's okay, you inform Yan Qing to pay more attention to the movements on Liangshan, the thieves on Qingfeng Mountain will probably go to Liangshan, and the bandits in Liangshan will get bigger and bigger." Zheng Zhi naturally knew that Qingfeng Mountain had earned the thunderbolt fire Qin Ming, so he was naturally going to Liangshan, Hua Rong, Wang Ying, Yan Shun, Zheng Tianshou, Qin Ming, and Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Shi Yong along the way.

At this time, it should be the time for the development of Liangshan's forces, and the thieves that Zheng Zhi wants to raise should also be raised. Zheng Zhi's own layout should also speed up.

When Song will come back from Jiangzhou, this Liangshan will show his skills.
