The autumn sun shone warmly on his body, Xu Ping sat behind the case next to the school yard, watching Jia Kui lead the team to fight with the other party. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The closer he got to the Autumn Queen, the more Xu Ping felt that he had no bottom in his heart, and he always felt that there were still shortcomings in the military reform. The most obvious thing is that the establishment of the armed forces at all levels has not been determined, and they always feel that it is not suitable. Of course, Xu Ping can make a plan that seems reasonable according to everyone's proposals, but he feels that he can't convince himself and can't make a reason.

Affairs have their own objective laws, and war is no different.

In this era, the literati talked a lot about the military, and it was one of the periods when the most military books were published in Chinese history. The far-reaching influence on later generations is the "Li Weigong Asks the Right" written by Ruan Yi in the same year of Xu Ping based on historical data and his own exposition, under the name of Li Jing. This book is generally compiled by him from various historical materials, and it roughly represents Li Jing's military thoughts, after all, Li Jing's military books have been handed down in this era. Another is Mei Yaochen, who was unwilling in the scientific field, and re-injected "The Art of War". The more complete version of "The Art of War" in Xu Ping's previous life is generally "Eleven Families Note Sun Tzu", and Mei Yaochen is the last of the eleven families.

At this time, neither of these books was completely completed, but some of the chapters Xu Ping had already read. As young and promising border marshals, some aspiring people will send their works to Qinzhou and ask Xu Ping for advice, in fact, they want to seek a step forward. This is a common thing, in history, Mei Yaochen and Fan Zhongyan went from close friends to turning their eyes into enemies, one of the fuses was that Fan Zhongyan refused to recruit Mei Yaochen into the curtain after being a handsome minister, and Ouyang Xiu's mediation was useless.

Now Mei Yaochen's mood is not so urgent, his uncle Mei Xun is still one, and his relationship with Xu Ping is not so close, with the idea of having dates and not being a date. Mei Xun liked to talk about soldiers when he was young, Mei Yaochen was influenced by his uncle, he was interested in military affairs, and he failed the imperial examination many times, which made his mind move to military merits. When Yuan Hao's grandfather Zhao Jiqian rebelled against the Song Dynasty in Lingzhou, Mei Xun suggested that Emperor Taizong contact the Hexi Liugu Fan Department to attack the party and invite an envoy. With this origin, Mei Yaochen also suggested contacting Qingtang and attacking the party.

To tell the truth, Xu Ping's choice now is the same as Fan Zhongyan's choice in history, and he will not recruit Ruan Yi and Mei Yaochen to Qinzhou. It's not a matter of ability, it's a disagreement between the two sides. These two people have reached the point of writing military books and have their own opinions, and it is difficult for Xu Ping's reform of the military system and military thinking to be recognized by them, and recruiting people is to do things, not to quarrel.

The military books of these two people are very good works, enough to be listed with the military books of the pre-Qin families, but the books are like this, but the times have changed. For more than a thousand years, war is no longer what it was in the pre-Qin period, the big principles are meaningful, and some details are very different. Although history has been repeated, the cruel war still makes the practice of war continue to move forward, especially the melee of more than 100 years in the late Tang Dynasty, which has given birth to a lot of practical experience, and Xu Ping does not need to go back.

The most important issue is that when war has developed to the point where it is necessary to sum up the objective laws and change the system, the organizational form, and the mode of fighting in accordance with the objective laws of the war itself, the classical military books are no longer of much significance.

During the Taizong period, the foreign war was not smooth, and in order to control the army, the military system was changed for the purpose of control, so that the military system of the Song army regressed compared with the five dynasties. Decades have passed, regardless of civil and military, many people have realized this problem, but they are just secretive for His Holiness, and it is difficult to talk about it. In the next few decades in history, Taizong's reform of the military system of the Song army, the destruction is greater than the construction, and it will become the consensus of the government and the opposition, and the civil and military discussions will almost directly say that Taizong is a military idiot.

What Xu Ping has to do now is to let the army conduct more drills, especially battles, and sum up the objective laws that have been lost. Only by grasping the internal laws of war can we make a correct choice first, instead of imagining and making empty arguments.

Jia Kui is now the head of the capital, the most basic combat unit in the current establishment, Xu Ping started from the basics, and has been watching the battle at the capital level in the past few days. Jia Kui's arrangement of troops is very interesting, he always divides the troops into three parts, leads the Chinese army himself, and together with the front army, advances or retreats, and the Chinese army always sticks to the front army.

Xu Ping watched it with relish, and felt in his heart that he had already touched the operational principles of this basic combat unit.

When sticking with the former army, Jia Kui is always in a slightly left-side position, while the former army is always on the right. As the battle progressed, the front slowly reached the front of the Chinese army. And at this time, the rear army began to lean to the left again.

Seeing Jia Kui leading the team to repeat this process constantly, Xu Ping suddenly slapped his thigh and said to Sang Yi beside him: "I understand!" I have been a little confused before, but in the past few days, I have finally solved a problem in my heart after watching your drills! ”

Sang Yi was a little confused, and said to Xu Ping: "What does the festival marshal understand?" But you have thought of a clever plan against the enemy? ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Where is the magic strategy for the enemy so imaginary, I figured out why there are left and right Yu Marquis in the army." Since ancient times, the army formation is divided into nine armies, seven armies, five armies, and three armies, and the military secretaries are very detailed, but the most basic is the five armies, the front army, the rear army, the left army, the right army and the middle army, and more briefly the front army, the middle army, and the rear army. But the army is set up with the Marquis of Zuo Yu and the Marquis of the Right Yu, why not the Marquis of the Front and Rear Yu? ”

Sang Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "It's like this in the army, but I haven't thought about why. ”

"Because the right is the front, the left is the back, and the left and right contain the meaning of the front and back, so it is set. Five generations of chaotic war for decades, they set up the left and right Yu Hou is by no means without reason, the military system of this dynasty has changed several times, although the official position of Yu Hou has been left, but it is no longer a box service, it is inevitable that people will be confused. If the left and right Yu Hou are set up, the two armies will face each other, and no matter how many troops there are in the headquarters, they will be divided into three armies. The right Yu Hou commands the front army, the left Yu Hou commands the rear army, and the main general commands the Chinese army, think about it, is this the truth? Xiucai, you are the one who leads the troops, think about it, is this the case for you to arrange the troops? ”

Sang Yi thought for a while and said: "It's roughly like this, but it is not intentional, but the military formation should be arranged like this." ”

Xu Ping nodded again and again: "Although most of the military leaders of the five generations are vulgar and unliterate, they are all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and the official position is set from actual combat, not without reason." In fact, the right army is not necessarily on the right, and the left army is not necessarily on the left, but it is always good for the right army to be in front of the enemy and the left army to cover in the rear. Most of the people use their right hand, and although there are those who use their left hand well, there are always not many, and it is impossible to consider them in the army. Therefore, to meet the enemy head-on, it must be on the right, and when the enemy's front army is under the jurisdiction of the right Yuhou, it is a matter of course. The rear army is under the jurisdiction of Zuo Yuhou, and the same is true. Now in the forbidden army, the Marquis of Yu is either not set up, or although it is set up, it is only a reserve position, and it is only promoted as an official rank, and it loses the role that Marquis Yu should have. ”

Of course, the reason is not only this, but the more important reason is that Taizong is ignorant of military affairs and stubborn, and he likes to cancel the original flexible setting in the army by playing the trick of the middle court. When the forbidden army went out, Taizong often gave the formation map, and also sent people to monitor the formation, called the formation envoy, which made the military formation of the forbidden army a dead formation. The formation of the large army was lined up, and it was difficult to move, and even reached a large formation of 100,000 or 80,000 people, which stretched for dozens of miles, and the whole army was in chaos as soon as it moved.

Judging from the formation map, everything is perfect, where the enemy is coming from, how to deal with the military formation, no matter how it is calculated, there is no reason for failure, it can be regarded as foolproof. Emperor Taizong was extremely conceited about this array, and he called it "Pingrong Wanquan Array". The only question is, what if the enemy doesn't play according to your plan?

(Note: The right army of the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty army is actually the front army, and the left army is actually the rear army, which will change according to the battle situation.) Of course, it is not because people make good use of their right hands to arrange it like this, it is just the author's speculation and reasoning, and readers don't need to take it too seriously. The military part of this book is based on regular military textbooks such as "Strategy", "Tactics", and "Military Geography", as well as military anthologies since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and deductions made in combination with geographical conditions and historical records at that time. All the plots are in the imagination of this range, please understand that if you are not within this range, you will be out of the outline. ）
