When Yuan Yao said that he joined the army, everyone already roughly knew what he meant, but this "wartime" statement was relatively novel, but in fact, generals often had to hold combat meetings when leading troops into battle, and what they did was staff and military affairs, but they didn't formalize it like this to Yuan Yao, so they felt a little disappreciative and redundant in their habits. But what Yuan Yao wants to do is to take out these things in the consciousness and formalize and institutionalize them, for example, if such an important department as the General Staff Department in later generations is not institutionalized, it will become a dispensable thing, and it will completely depend on whether the master is used to the existence of the department, which is a bit tyrannical.

Although the function of staff and military affairs has not yet been institutionalized in ancient times, it has long been professionalized, and the main work of military advisers and strategists is to do this, especially in the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, many great powers have been passed down through the ages by relying on the position of military advisers. It's just that they are used to secretly figuring out plans by themselves, and then showing them when the lord asks or when the matter is coming, this kind of efficiency Yuan Yao thinks is too low, so he plans to get a wartime staff department to squeeze the potential of several talents under him, and when everyone gets used to it, they feel that it is indispensable, and they will establish a staff system in imitation of later generations.

This kind of innovative thing, Yuan Yao feels that he has more confidence in doing it step by step.

"Isn't that going to be done with a lot of unnecessary things?" After listening to Yuan Yao's explanation, everyone pretended to think and kept silent, only Sun Ce had less scruples and directly questioned it.

Yuan Yao explained with a smile: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, for example, now, we only need to make two plans, one is how to deal with Liu Xuan's sneak attack on the dock; The second is how to defend against the pressure of Liu Xuan's naval army and force us to be in a weak naval decisive battle. ”

When everyone heard that they only needed to make two plans, they didn't feel so unacceptable, and maybe these people here may not have less than two plans in their minds now, Yuan Yao just wanted them to take out these self-contained tricks and tricks to cool, which was also the experience he had learned recently, and it was also the biggest gain he had gained in this era since he thought he had "awakened".

When he knew that Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su had begun to plan Jiangdong when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, Yuan Yao was taken aback, and the pride of crossing, rebirth, and golden finger was suddenly frightened, and he couldn't help but feel sad for Yuan Shu, the older generation, and also made him feel the pressure from the contemporary elite, even if he had an incomparable system, he felt a little weak.

That's why Yuan Yaocai decided to get out of the General Staff Department, and the scholars made plans for everything, and those tricks in history that only popped up at the end of the day may have fooled people.

Under the guidance of Yuan Yaodi, everyone began to try to explain their thoughts on Liu Xuan's sneak attack on the dock, such as how to give an early warning; how to arrange the horses and soldiers; How to defend the counterattack and so on. When one person begins to elaborate, it is out of control, because everyone is a person who has something in mind, and when faced with different opinions, he can't help but express his opinion, and then it leads to debate, and then to argument, and then even begins to refute each other, and there is a tendency to raise eyebrows and stare at each other. Although the atmosphere at the scene was not very harmonious, Yuan Yao was still very happy to watch, this is a process of peeling off the cocoon and removing the chaff; It is also a process of understanding each other, seeking common ground while reserving differences.

Everyone debated for an afternoon, and finally came up with a plan that everyone could accept, but Yuan Yao did not intend to let them go, and the sentence "The simplest tactic is the best tactic" as the reason, and asked them to leave the essence of the plan, and to make it simple and simple, and toss them until the night to finish. Despite wasting so much time, Yuan Yao still felt very happy, because he was mentally prepared to work for nothing, after all, it was likely to be useless to let people change their habits to do things, and now it was a surprise to be able to come up with a feasible plan.

After everyone was busy, Yuan Yao ordered the guards to serve the meal, he had already prepared everything while others were busy, and when they saw the food, everyone realized that their stomachs were already hungry, after all, they had been arguing for most of the day, and they didn't eat anything except tea, so they were no longer polite to Yuan Yao, and they all started directly.

The meal was very simple, no wine, no big fish and meat, just a little more hearty, just to fill the stomach.

Yuan Yao had also been hungry for a long time, so he didn't eat politely, but he still didn't plan to let everyone go, and continued to eat while saying: "Now that all of us know this plan well, to put it mildly, even I, who have never been on the battlefield, have a feeling of confidence. ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, and some of them still had their eyes slightly narrowed and thoughtful.

Yuan Yao took a few bites and continued: "But everyone knows, especially for people like Bo Fu who have led troops to fight, any plan that has not been tested in practice is just talk on paper, so our next step is to formulate a training plan according to the tactical plan......

Hearing this, everyone who was originally gobbling up was stunned and looked at Yuan Yao in a daze.

"Woo woo woo ......" Sun Ce opened his mouth to speak, but found that there was too much food in his mouth to speak, so he quickly swallowed a few bites before saying: "Does the general mean to let the 30,000 army drill according to the plan?" How is this possible! In the end, I thought that it would be good for us generals to be prepared to deal with it, and it was a bit strange to want all the officers and men of the three armies to be familiar with the plan. And Liu Miao may not give us so much time to do whatever he wants, now that it's just a fighting ship launched, he sent someone to investigate, and after a few days to launch four ships in a row, then Liu Miao will definitely jump to his feet. ”

Yuan Yao nodded and said: "I also know that we don't have much time to toss, but as long as we are more prepared, the higher the probability of victory, and the smaller the loss. Moreover, I found that everyone pays more attention to combat training such as arranging troops, hand-to-hand combat, and military flag orders, and there is almost no tactical training such as emergency assembly, field marching, and two-place training. ”

The veteran Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he remembered something, and said: "Sun Tzu has a cloud in the art of war: 'Water is controlled by the ground, and soldiers are defeated by the enemy.'" Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods'. If even the tactics are trained to be as solid as a battle formation, wouldn't it be against the way of the saints! ”

Yuan Yao frowned and said, "What Sun Tzu said is God, what does it have to do with us." Can our 30,000-strong army be able to control the flow of water from place to place, like an arm and a finger, how to fiddle with it? If you can't do it, don't always think about God, and find more ways to do some personnel is serious! Moreover, the kind of state of military strength like water that Sun Tzu said is also something that can only be achieved after a lot of training, and it is definitely not innate, at least not something that can be achieved by relying on the command of generals alone. ”

Everyone was debating and refuting each other all afternoon, so everyone was used to some of the slightly heavier tones, but despite this, Zhang Xun was still scolded by Yuan Yao, but he couldn't refute it......
