Chapter 123: Preparing for Battle
Liu Yong nodded and said, "Judging from the strength of the troops, Cao Cao is naturally far superior to us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, the way to win the war is not a simple quantitative comparison, otherwise the battle of Guandu would not be Cao Cao's victory over the strong with the weak. In my opinion, the availability of food, grass and military supplies, the rational use of strategy, and even the quality of weapons, the time and people, and the topography can all affect the situation of the war. Now Xiangyang Liu Biao shares weal and woe with us and helps each other, and Cao Cao does not dare to despise it. ”
Wei Yan nodded yes, and Liu Yong said again: "To be honest, I don't like war, and I can even say that I hate war." Because war can only bring social unrest, economic collapse, and human suffering. The war benefited only a very small number of high-ranking generals among the victors, while most of the ordinary generals did not benefit much, or even lost their lives. This is especially true for ordinary people, who will have their homes destroyed and their land wasted, so they can only drag their families and flee in all directions, and they will also face soaring prices, all kinds of harsh taxes, and forced labor, which is unspeakably miserable. 'Prosperity, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer! ’”
Wei Yan and Gan Ning both understood Liu Yong's love for the people, and they both listened quietly. I only heard Liu Yong sigh softly and said: "It's a pity that we are in troubled times, although war is disgusting to me, but I have to face it." We don't cause trouble, we don't stir up trouble, but we are not afraid of things, 'soldiers come to block, water comes to cover', and we face it bravely. Over the past two years, I have participated in several battles, large and small, and I have summarized and summarized them, and I have four points of understanding, and I don't know if there are any omissions and fallacies. You are both military wizards, and your knowledge in this area is far better than mine, so do you make sense? ”
Wei Yan and Gan Ning thought that this was Liu Yong's modesty, and they all bowed their hands and said, "Please teach Tai Shou." ”
Liu Yong sighed secretly and said, "First, heavy battle. "The Art of War" says: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. We want to achieve the goal of reviving the Han dynasty and unifying the Central Plains, and we cannot solve it without war. At the same time, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and even Liu Biao would covet the wealth and population of the Yuan, and it was inevitable that they would attack at the opportune time. Therefore, we must attach importance to war and put the idea of heavy war in the same important position as economic development. We must grasp the economy with one hand and the military with the other, and we must grasp both hands and be firm with both hands;
The second is to fight cautiously. "The Art of War" is another cloud: The dead country cannot be resurrected, and the dead cannot be resurrected, so the Ming monarch is cautious, and the good general is vigilant. War is always cruel, so we can't take the initiative to go to war. Even if you want to go to war, you must follow two things, one is to be famous, not to fight for the sake of war; The second is to take benevolence as the foundation and righteousness as the righteousness. The benevolent make people friendly, and the righteous make people happy, and if they leave these two points, they will be spurned by the people, and they will be defeated without a fight.
The third is to prepare for war. It is necessary to plan ahead and prepare early. The first is to do a good job in peacetime training to improve the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team; The second is to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the other party, and deal with it calmly. We're doing a good job of both of them right now, so I won't say more.
The fourth is good fighting, both of you are rare handsome talents, and I don't have to worry about this. I think that as long as we achieve these four points, we will be invincible and invincible. ”
Wei Yan stroked his palms and said, "What the general said is extremely true. When Wei Yan first began to lead the soldiers and horses in Fuyi, he saw that the training manual stated that the superiors should often communicate with the subordinates, and the subordinates and the soldiers should have regular heart-to-heart exchanges and talks; In addition to training, there are also various recreational activities, etc., which is very dismissive. However, a deep understanding of our side found that the soldiers here are really different from Liu Biao. The soldiers here are sincerely united, thinking in one place, working hard in one place, you help me, I help you, closer than brothers. When such a team fights, it is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, and a tiger that has come down from the mountain, who can resist it? ”
Gan Ning also said: "My subordinates think that the general's words are really reasonable. When I first arrived in Fuyi, I was very puzzled to see the military regulations of the 'Three Principles and Eight Points of Attention' formulated by Taishou, and the fact that in addition to training, soldiers had to go to the ground to turn over the soil and sow seeds, dig ditches, dig wells and pave roads, and so on. But soon I saw a lot of villagers coming to deliver food, clothes, shoes and socks, and those who really didn't have them came to the barracks to wash and mend clothes. Only then did I understand Taishou's good intentions. ”
Liu Yong smiled, "Because only by obeying the will of the people, seeking the interests of the people, and winning the hearts of the people, can we get the support and support of the people, and can we always be invincible." "Liu Yong is grateful to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, I have learned from you. The communist army was less than 100,000 before the Anti-Japanese War, but after the Anti-Japanese War, it grew to nearly one million regular troops, which is a good practice of the mass line.
After the military meeting, the government work meeting was held with Yu Fu and other officials in the county government, and the main agenda was three: first, to listen to the report on the development of the original at this stage, the main problems and coping strategies existing in the current work, and the next work ideas and goals.
What Liu Yong is most concerned about are the existing problems or hidden dangers, because these are related to the interests of the masses and social stability, and determine the direction of future development. Sure enough, Yu said: "Taishou, according to the opinion of the lower officials, the biggest problem now is the idleness of the land. ”
"There are now a lot of wealthy people who buy a lot of land in a little more remote area, but they don't build it, and they are ready to accumulate it for profit."
"You're learning from me." Liu Yong smiled, "But I just had to do it at the time, these people are opportunistic." This is simple, all the land shall not be idle, if the land auctioned does not start construction as required within one year, it will be recovered and no refund will be made. In this way, you can draw up a constitution and then promulgate it. ”
Another humanitarian: "Since there is no curfew, there are often lawless people who take the opportunity to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and even molesting women, and the people are dissatisfied." After the dismissal, the curfew shall be reinstated, and it shall not be allowed to wander the streets after dark. ”
"I don't think it's necessary." Liu Yong frowned lightly and said, "Are there more people in favor of the curfew or more against?" Since there are many opponents, there is no need to ban it, now that the people are living in abundance, they drink tea, drink alcohol, listen to books, watch plays, as long as they don't make trouble, what's wrong with it? It's hard to still collapse early like before, and it can't be done to sleep with his wife. Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
"I think as long as we strengthen the city's defense and patrol, pay attention to fire prevention, theft prevention and thieves. Is there anything else? ”
Another humanitarian: "The city is developing too fast, the population is dense, and the sewage is discharged indiscriminately and the garbage is littered, which is very indecent." ”
Liu Yong nodded and said, "This question is very good, and this is what I want to say most at this meeting." In fact, I have noticed this problem for a long time, but unfortunately there was a shortage of people and money in the county, so I had to put it aside first. Ladies and gentlemen, garbage, stinking water, and spitting are just some of them, and there are not only children but also adults in the corners and alleys. Nowadays, the society is stable and the life is rich, and there are many more big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street. I had a private visit yesterday, and the little daughter-in-law was choosing something at the stall, and a man hurriedly ran over, unbuckled his trouser belt not far from the little daughter-in-law, took out the thing and sprinkled it on the wall, and made the big girl blush, and ran away, and nothing was bought...... "When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Liu Yong also laughed for a while, and said: "This is no longer unsightly, but a little hateful." I would also like to talk about something deeper, littering and unleashing everywhere is not only an obstacle, but also related to the health of each of us, the length of life of each of us. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, how could it be related to health and longevity? I saw Liu Yong sip tea and asked slowly: "Let me ask a question first, do you know how long people can live?" ”
"It is said that Peng Zu lived to be 800 years old."
"That's a legend."
"Jiang Ziya lived to be one hundred and forty years old."
"This is a bit exaggerated, you have some real evidence."
"King Wen lived to be ninety-six years old." "Kong Shengshou is seventy-three years old." "Meng Fuzi was eighty-four years old."
Liu Yong smiled and said, "These are credible." This shows that people can live up to 100 years old. But do you have faith that you will live to their age? ”
Everyone present looked at each other and shook their heads and sighed slightly. Liu Yong said sadly: "At the age of forty, you can be called an old man, many teenagers can't live to be weak, and many babies die soon after birth, what is the reason for this?" Liu Yong asked himself again: "As long as there is no one who does not get sick." If you are sick, you should ask Lang Zhong in time, but most families can't afford to hire a doctor or take medicine, so a minor illness becomes a major illness, and a major illness turns into a serious illness, which is why most people don't live long. ”
"Why do people get sick? External feelings of six lewdness, epidemic, internal injuries and seven emotions, tiredness, diet, it can be said that illness is inevitable for everyone. However, as long as we take precautions in advance and take effective measures, we can completely reduce or even avoid serious illness or serious illness. You must remember the epidemic emergency drill we conducted the year before last. In fact, the real situation at that time was that Fuyi County already had signs of a major epidemic, and because he was worried about people's panic and political instability, Yu Xiangcai adopted the suggestion of this official and carried out a fake drill to fight the epidemic, and quickly put down the signs of the epidemic. ”
Yu turned his head and said, "That's true." At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous, and more than a dozen people died among the victims, and there was already a precursor to a major epidemic. If it weren't for Tai Shou's quick decision and sure measures, I don't know how many more people would have died in Fuyi County. Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they were all a little afraid.
Liu Yong smiled and asked, "Do you want to live longer?" Everyone nodded in unison.
"It's human nature." Liu Yong nodded, joking, who doesn't want to live a long life, and said, "I have talked to Yu Xiang about the prevention and control concepts of 'prevention before disease' and 'prevention and control of existing diseases'. It's a pity that at that time, the whole Fuyi was struggling and couldn't make ends meet, so this strategy was like a mirror, and an idiot dreamed. Now that the politics of the Plains are clear and rich, this policy is a matter of course. In my opinion, if everyone follows the rules, the average life expectancy of custodians will be increased by twenty or thirty years, and there will be many people who will be seventy or eighty years old. ”
Everyone was overjoyed and asked, "Is there really a good way to keep it?" (To be continued.) )
