After listening to the words of the prince, Tu Gongchun lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said softly: "Students are free and love the art of war, and they also have a lot of study in military history, but whether it is Jiang Shangbaiqi or Han Xin Li Jing, these ancient gods of war, they all make their own ideas, and they never need others to point fingers on the side." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qin Lei chuckled, took a sip of the teacup, and said lightly: "So people are the god of war, and we are not." He sighed and said: "In history, some commanders really don't need other people's ideas, but think about problems by themselves, make up their own minds, and the people around them can achieve brilliant victories just by carrying out their will." ”

As he spoke, he put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "But these few are an example, and it is rare for one to emerge in a hundred years." A general can idolize them, but not set an example for them. In most cases, the commander of the army is an ordinary person like you and me, and even if we have a series of necessary elements such as being familiar with the art of war, experienced, bold and composed, brave and fearless, and loving soldiers like children, we still cannot acquire the ability to find the key to victory and achieve ultimate victory through the various appearances. Because it is a God-given talent, it cannot be acquired through acquired training. ”

"So the commander of an army needs advisers, and that's why you exist." When he said this, Qin Lei's gaze was deep and distant, making Tu Gongchun feel that His Royal Highness should also be one of the few few. He involuntarily straightened his chest and said seriously: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

"Don't be so excited, you don't need to talk about it." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "Military training for three months, if you can withstand it, you will stay, and if you can't stand it, you will go back and be an honest official." ”

"Oh......," Tu Gongchun agreed honestly.

Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, winter is gone, spring is coming.

There is a saying that 'the grass grows, the warbler flies in the February sky, and the poplar willow is drunk with spring smoke. 'By the Jingshui River, the willow branches are tender and green, the soil is fragrant, the grass is sprouting, and the earth is rejuvenated.

The banks of the Jingshui River are in full swing, and tens of thousands of river workers are sweating like rain, and they will spend a year to unify and widen the river to meet the 20-year Bashui River diversion project in Zhaowu.

Not far away, on Jingshan, the mixed division of the Jingshan New Army was also busy packing up and preparing to participate in the large-scale military exercise to be held in seven days. The scale of this military exercise was the largest in history, and each side of the confrontation sent 50,000 troops to fight the victory or defeat on a battlefield within a radius of 400 miles.

The officers made their rounds to calm the soldiers' slightly restless mood and check that their outfits were up to standard.

Of course, Qin Lei didn't need to worry about these tasks, and even Yang Wenyu could find time to attend the special meeting of the Commander's Advisory Council......

The venue of the meeting was the newly completed Commander's Mansion in the city of Gyeongsan.

The dark green curtains closed tightly, blocking out the bright light outside. However, 36 white lanterns still illuminate this spacious conference room.

The layout of the room is solemn and solemn, with battle maps of different sizes hanging on the walls, and jacquard carpets from the Western Regions on the oak floor, similar in color and pattern to the dresses of the Zhennan Army. On top of the carpet was a long conference table five zhang long and one zhang wide, covered with an army-green tweed tablecloth.

Qin Lei sat upright, and the main generals who were ready to participate in the military exercise were lined up left and right, listening to the prince's lecture.

"Everyone, after a lot of hard work, we finally ushered in a new chance." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Last time you won dignity, this time we have to win respect." ”

The generals couldn't help but secretly clench their fists, and even their breathing became heavy.

"Now that the military department has come down, Shi Yong, you can read it." Qin Lei rolled a bamboo tube on the table to Shi Yong, and said softly, "Only read the last two lines." ”

The generals present smiled heartily, they had all seen the imperial court writings, and the beginning was a large nonsense such as singing praises of virtue, and there was really no need to read it.

Shi Yong unfolded the paperwork, got up and cleared his throat and said, "The last two lines...... Oh, and the second phase of the exercise is scheduled for the end of February, and the designated battlefield is the area west of the Wei River, south of the Great River, and north of the Qishan Mountains. The assembly point of your division is located in Wushan, eighty miles west of Tianshui Mansion in Longyou Province. It is ordered that the troops participating in the exercise must arrive before 22 February of the 19th year of Zhaowu, and that they can move freely in the area of the exercise after entering the exercise site, and the military exercise will begin on 28 February and last for 20 days and end on 12 March. All the armies that still act at will after the end will be sentenced to ......" Shi Yong was about to read down, but when he saw the prince waving his hand, he stopped talking.

Qin Lei motioned for him to sit down, and nodded at Shi Kang, who opened a large curtain behind Qin Lei, which was a high-scale military map, and the area displayed was within the scope of this military exercise.

Qin Lei got up and took the bamboo whip, clicked on the map and said, "It is not beyond our expectations, the military exercise is held here." As he spoke, he pointed to the location of Wushan and said, "We can reach Wushan before the 20th and enter the battlefield in advance." "The Ministry of War only set a deadline and did not specify the start date, so you can take advantage of this loophole.

"The topography of this area slopes from southwest to northeast. The terrain is unusually complex, mountains, plateaus, plains, river valleys are staggered, and there are many faults. Qin Lei smiled: "The more complex the situation, the more it can increase the uncertainty of the outcome. So guys, this is a chance. ”

The generals laughed, and they also knew that they were not opponents of other armies by facing gongs and drums in front of them, and only by messing up could they have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters...... Punch the master to death.

"The good news is over," Qin Lei said with a smile: "Here's the bad news, His Majesty the Emperor has drawn up the so-called battle plan and asked us to implement it." ”

"Lord Wang, what's the plan?" Yang Wenyu asked softly.

"Right there, it was sent from the front and back feet of the Ministry of War." Qin Lei pointed to the wastepaper basket at the foot of the table and said with a smile: "If you want to see it, you can pick it up and take a look." The crowd laughed again.

After everyone quieted down, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "What's worse is that when Gu met with the commanders of our other four armies the day before yesterday, only General Huangfu and General Shen agreed to the battle plan we drew up. The Shenwu Army and the Imperial Forest Army insisted on carrying out the plan drawn up by His Majesty, and had already sued the court to join the lone crime of bullying the king. ”

After speaking, he pointed to Qishan at the bottom of the map and said: "Our Majesty ordered the three armies to hold on to the camp under Qishan with their backs, and the tiger ben and the royal forest should respond to the guerrillas, and as soon as the enemy attacking Qishan was tired, he would kill from the flank, and the five armies would counterattack together and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop." He glanced at the generals sitting upright and said, "This plan looks beautiful, but in fact it stinks!" This is acting, not a fight of life and death, what's the use of you being condescending? Do you really dare to use rolling stones and sassalwoods against the enemy? ”

The generals shook their heads in unison, they had already experienced it once, and knew that in this kind of exercise, the advantage of speed is magnified, and the advantage of terrain is infinitely reduced.

Huangfu Zhanwen said indignantly: "I really don't know who came up with such a plan for His Majesty, I really deserve to be killed." The generals also chimed in.

Qin Lei waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and his face gradually became serious: "The situation is like this, it is useless to complain, we must come up with a countermeasure," and waved his hand violently: "We must not fail again." ”

After speaking, he sat back on the chair, glanced at Yang Wenyu, who had been silent, and said, "Wenyu, let's talk about my opinion." ”

Yang Wenyu kept staring at the map intently, and then he spoke: "This kind of military exercise tests the commander's strategizing, the general's on-the-spot command, and the execution of the soldiers, and it is not a big test for other aspects." It is necessary to maneuver on a large scale, stretch the enemy's battle line, form a local superiority in troops, and eat the opponent in one bite. Saying that, he arched his hand towards Qin Lei and said resolutely: "So Qishan must not go!" Once you stay there, you will lose the initiative in the battle, and you will not be far from defeat. ”

Qin Lei smiled noncommittally and said to the generals: "Let's brainstorm." ”

Chang Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, said loudly: "What Commander Yang said is very right, but the Imperial Forest Army and the Shenwu Army will not listen to us, if these two armies are besieged by superior enemy forces in Qishan, will we save them or not?" I'm afraid it will also be passive. ”

Yang Wenyu smiled faintly and said, "As long as Tiger Ben and Tie Jia listen to us, Yulin and Shenwu will not go to Qishan." ”

Huangfu Zhanwen answered: "Yes, Xu Zaiwu and what...... Ma Guangzu is not a fool, don't look at the sound they are calling now, it is for His Majesty to see. When it comes to the battlefield, they will not go to the end of their lives. "The commander of the Imperial Forest Army is temporarily absent, and this time Emperor Zhaowu appointed a lieutenant named Ma Guangzu as the deputy commander, responsible for wartime leadership.

Shen Qing, who was next to Yang Wenyu, said in a deep voice: "Even if these two armies don't go to Qishan, if we go their separate ways, we may be defeated by each other...... When the final count comes, it's unlikely that you'll outnumber each other in the number of enemies killed. ”

Yang Wenyu nodded and said, "So we have to find another way and take another path to win......

"Capture the flag!" As soon as his voice fell, someone blurted out. According to the rules, there are two ways to divide the winners and losers in the military exercise: one is to compare which of the two sides has the largest number of 'beheadings' after the exercise, and the other is to 'behead the generals and capture the flag'; if either side can grab the other side's military flag, it will be considered a victory, and the military exercise will end immediately.

Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong and other generals shook their heads one after another and said: "The military flag is a matter of victory or defeat, and the enemy army will definitely be heavily guarded, how can it be possible to give us a chance to approach?" ”

"If you don't, you're going to lose." The smile on Yang Wenyu's face was faint, but his tone was sharp: "And another failure will definitely make my Jingshan Army completely reduced to second-rate." ”

The generals were awe-struck, put away their smiling faces, and began to consider the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes, in this situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, this method can only be adopted." Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Wen Yu, tell us our battle plan, don't suffocate them." ”

Yang Wenyu got up and arched his hand and said, "Obey." Then he walked to the wall chart, picked up the bamboo whip and said: "In the battle plan drawn up by the prince and the last general, our army will be divided into five detachments, led by the prince, the last general, the emperor Fu, Shen and Shi Luzheng...... Chang Yingzheng is leading separately and adopting the 16-character principle of 'the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we advance, the enemy is stationed and we disturb, and the enemy is tired and we fight'. Kick off the gap in the movement and create an opportunity for the relevant troops to directly attack Huanglong. ”

"All ministries should pay attention to coordination, not to fall in love with war, not to fight hard, and everything is to preserve the vital force." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "You must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and only by preserving your strength can you respond at any time...... We don't run out of cards until the last minute. ”

After speaking, he sat up straight and said: "The specific battle plan will be issued later, what are the questions?" ”

Shen Qing, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said, "Where is the battle flag of our army?" ”

"The Guards." Qin Lei smiled and said, "How can Your Majesty give it to others." ”

"What if my army's battle flag is taken away first?" Shen Qing asked leisurely.

Isn't that just a wasted effort? When everyone thought about it, they looked at the prince fixedly......

"It's not a problem for you to worry about," Qin Lei said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm here in the battle flag." ”

After Qin Lei finished speaking, he stood up, and all the generals also stood up together.

With a majestic gaze sweeping over everyone present, Qin Lei said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the complex terrain within a radius of four hundred miles, there are nine armies on both sides, and the battle situation must be extremely chaotic. But we can't mess up when others mess up, remember those 16 words, don't love to fight, don't fight hard, and focus on preserving vital strength. ”

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.

"Break up." Qin Lei nodded and said, "Dinner first, and departure after lunch." ”

"Yes!"

After lunch, the former army of the participating army left Jingshan Castle and headed northwest.

Half an hour later, the Chinese army set off, and in another half an hour, Qin Lei's rear army will also set off.

Standing on the newly completed tall city wall, Qin Lei could even see the white marks left by the iron drill on the square bluestone. Reaching out and stroking the rough city bricks, his eyes were gloomy and deep, and he no longer had that calm and confident.

"Lord Wang, don't put too much pressure," Le Buyi, who was dressed in white, stood beside him and said with a smile: "It's just a military exercise, the important thing is to sharpen the army, not to fight for victory." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and glanced at the northeast, where his line of sight could not reach, stood the capital of Great Qin. He said softly: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about Daqin." ”

Patting the dust on his hands, Qin Lei said in a low voice: "Others have already sharpened their knives, but we are still fighting for each other here, forming gangs, do we have to be rivers of blood to wake up?" ”

Le Buyi's face sank when he heard this, and he said quietly: "Without Wen Yanbo's buffer, the contradictions in all aspects are much sharper, and it is impossible to imagine being with the mud like before." ”

"Am I doing something wrong?" Qin Lei said expressionlessly: "Da Qin is just such a little space, if you don't remove him, how can we get out?" The biggest advantage of talking to a wise and almost demonic guy like Le Buyi is that you don't have to beat around the bush...... Because it's useless to crutche.

"It's the price of rising." Le Buyi said softly: "If you want to break out of the cocoon and be reborn, labor pains are always inevitable. ”

"But war...... It couldn't have come at the right time. Qin Lei slapped the battlements and said, "If you give me another three years, at least I can keep Daqin's vitality alive." ”

"If you don't give it to you for these three years, you have to keep Daqin's vitality." Le Buyi looked at him fixedly and said: "If Great Qin is defeated and lost, although it will not destroy the country, it will not be able to turn over in a few decades." ”

"Really?" Qin Lei said with a solemn face: "Then I have to prepare for both." ”

"What preparation?" Le Buyi frowned slightly.

"Bear a son, and be ready to fight for a long time." Qin Lei smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I have promised the country, and I will not give up no matter what." ”
