Shen Yun learned that before the first brigade of the first town of the Flying Cavalry Guard Division served as the commander of the Gongye Prison, it was actually not called "Red Fox", but "Ghost Department".

Why is it called "Onibe"? Because this part always charges forward in the battle, often fights to the point of not one out of ten, and is known for its high death rate among the flying cavalry guards, and people die into ghosts, so it is called "Ghost Department".

Before the arrival of Gongye Punishment, the "Ghost Division" adhered to the consistent combat mode of the Flying Cavalry Guard, that is, it was eager to make all the cavalry into heavy cavalry, and they were brave and unstoppable in the face of the enemy.

In fact, all the cavalry of the Han Empire, including the flying cavalry guards, adhered to the tactical idea of "infantry compression, cavalry battle", in this set of tactical ideas that has been inherited for 500 years, the role of cavalry is to face each other head-on in battle, or to break into the enemy formation from the flanks, or to serve as the role of covering the two wings in the infantry phalanx.

Of course, it can't be said that the generals of the Han Dynasty are idiots, and they just want the cavalry to collide with the infantry phalanx that is waiting for them. In the case of the recent Battle of Ertegan, Hu Gong's command had actually initially exerted the mobility of the cavalry, that is, to let the flying cavalry guard penetrate the back of the Yue's army, so as to contain or even crush the Yue's will to fight. But this style of play is actually just to use the cavalry as a faster infantry.

A style of play like Hu Gong is the command line of most generals in the world today. They could not imagine at all how cavalry without infantry could attack the city and defeat the enemy.

Pull away and return to the original topic.

After Gongye was appointed as the commander of the department, the combat style of the "ghost department" completely changed. It is no longer known for "punching and rushing", but for being famous for its "fox" cunning in the Flying Guards.

In 1000 of the Han Dynasty, the flying cavalry guards counterattacked the Xiongnu in Lake Baikal in Beihai Prefecture as an example. Those who participated in the war were the "Red Fox Department" and the "Phantom Department" where Liu Zhen was at that time. At that time, there were about 6,000 Huns. And the Han army was only in the early 3,000s. According to the normal way of playing, if the Huns fled, the tactical purpose of the flying cavalry guard was to drag them and wait until the Beihai Prefecture Second Class Army arrived, and then force the Huns to fight. If the Huns did not flee, but chose to fight a direct decisive battle, it would be more in line with the combat spirit of the flying cavalry guard, three thousand to six thousand, with one enemy and two, the Han army is not afraid at all!

In this campaign. The Huns chose to retreat all the way to the northwestern plains of Central Siberia. In general, it was quite normal for the Huns to retreat, and the flying cavalry guards dragged them behind. However, this time, the Flying Cavalry Guard found that the Huns were more difficult than the previous ones -- it turned out later that this Xiongnu invasion was to prepare for the later invasion of Kuncheng by the Lunar and Hungarian coalition forces -- and the "Phantom Department" of the Flying Cavalry Guard was simply unable to hold back the 3,000 Huns it was pursuing. But the "Red Fox Division" not only dragged the Huns, but also did not have many casualties of its own. And there was no infantry pressing. Annihilated the Hun army!

Of course, before this, the "Red Fox Division" led by Gongye Xing had created countless precedents like this, that is, whether it was the enemy who was chasing him or the enemy who was being chased by him, they would be invisibly consumed in the process of running. Finally fell heroically.

Every time the "Red Fox Department" plays almost scoundrels, even cunning, so it is named "Fox". And when it comes to "red", it is the "Red Fox Department" led by Gongye Punishment when he is the vanguard of the army. But at the cost of casualties, he will vow to remove all obstacles in front of him.

Taking the battle of Jiankun City as an example, although the Huns could not arrange too many fortifications in the Sayan Mountains, they could still resist for a while with the help of dangerous places like the Thousand Bird Valley. Just when the Chidori Valley was captured, Gongye actually ordered the cavalry to dismount and attack the Chidori Valley in a foot combat posture......

Although this battle defeated the dangerous place of the Sayan Mountains and the Thousand Bird Valley, the "Red Fox Division" also withdrew from the next battle at the heavy cost of 843 killed and 1,400 seriously wounded, and was directly sent to the Thousand Bird Valley to garrison and recuperate.

An alternative like Gongye Punishment is definitely an outlier among the Flying Guards. He was as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a wolf -- not only ruthless to the enemy, but also obviously not soft on his own people -- so after such a large casualty this time, Li Wu, the commander of the Flying Cavalry Guard, really could not continue to tolerate Gongye's punishment and continue to command the "Red Fox Division", so he wanted Hu Gong to apply for an officer to take charge of the "Red Fox Division".

After some reference, Shen Yun found that this Gongye Punishment method was actually very similar to Hou Jian's tactics, but his fierce aura did not look like he understood the tactics of "guerrilla warfare", which was really a bit contradictory. However, because Gongye Xing was only a commander and did not sit in the position of a general like Hou Jian, he did not become the target of public criticism, at most he was not very popular with his colleagues within the Flying Cavalry Guard.

As for why there was a shadow of Hou Jian in Gongye's punishment, Shen Yun didn't understand this at first, until he was about to leave Dingbian Mansion for Jiankun City, Zhuge Yun suddenly handed him a letter and asked him to transfer it to Gongye, Shen Yun finally understood.

It turns out that Gongye is also a disciple of Marshal Zhuge ! According to the seniority, Hou Jian also respectfully called Gongye Punishment "senior"! Of course, Hou Jian himself didn't know that he still had such a senior brother. But Zhuge Yun understood that in order to make Shen Yun's handover smooth, he wrote a letter to Gongye Punishment, hoping that he could cooperate with Shen Yun to take over the "Red Fox Department"!

Until this moment, Shen Yun felt sincere admiration and respect for this old marshal who was retired in Yizhou, who was almost 100 years old and no longer interfered in political and military affairs!

This is an old man whose vision is ahead of his time! It is worthy of Shen Yun, the imperial marshal who has passed through the backwards and paid all his respect! If there is a chance, Shen Yun will definitely visit his old man's house!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Master Hou, are you worried about how to subdue the 'Red Fox Division'?"

Just as Shen Yun was riding on the horse and thinking quietly, Bai Xiaosheng next to him suddenly stepped forward and whispered.

Bai Xiaosheng, Zhang Ji, Ouyang Fu and Shi Qian all rushed to Feiyun Fort after the Battle of Zimu, and then escorted Shen Yun back to the marshal's camp. This time he came to take over the "Red Fox Department", and Shen Yun also hoped that there would be a few more loyal subordinates around him, so he opened his mouth to Hu and asked the three of them over.

Bai Xiaosheng was relatively old, so Shen Yun directly asked him to be a staff officer and serve under Fang Cheng. Zhang Ji entered the guard song, under Zhao Xin. Ouyang Fu and Shi Qian didn't like Zhao Xin's cold appearance. insisted on being a personal guard, so he became Zhong Lisi's soldier.

Bai Xiaosheng and Fang Cheng are old acquaintances, needless to say, they get along well. Zhang Ji is a simple person, and he also matches Zhao Xin's stuffy gourd. The key is Shi Qian and Ouyang Fu, these two guys who steal a man's wallet and a woman who steals a woman's purse, actually get along with Zhong Lisi's big mouth as if they want to wear the same pants in just a few days. Later, Shen Yun learned that it was Ouyang Fu, a flower thief, who kept introducing Zhong Lisi to the method of chasing women, and Shi Qian was nimble. From time to time, I can help pass a love letter or something, as the so-called "picking up girls together is brothers", in line with this idea, the three of them are extremely hot.

Shen Yun was worried at first that Ouyang Fu would teach Zhong Lisi to use indiscriminate methods such as ecstasy incense, but later after hearing Bai Xiaosheng say that Zhong Lisi was just secretly learning all kinds of rhetoric from Ouyang Fu. That's when he laughed. Also, it's the military. Ouyang Fu has this heart and has to have this courage!

Besides. These female soldiers in front of him were all killed from the Battle of Zimu, not to mention their skills for the time being, with this love of bloody battlefields together, Zhong Lisi didn't dare to do too much.

Although Bai Xiaosheng's voice was small, he was riding on a horse. Unobstructed, Zhou Hui on the other side also heard it.

Without waiting for Shen Yun to answer, Zhou Hui raised her eyebrows, raised her chin and said, "What else do you have to think about." We have the marshal's military order, and the palace marshal's order, do they dare to disobey?! ”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled awkwardly at Zhou Hui, but he didn't dare to talk back to her.

Shen Yun smiled dotingly at her and said, "You can't say that. After all, this time the captain of Gongye also made a mistake and was ordered to be transferred, and everyone will be dissatisfied. Calm down! ”

Gongye has been in the army for 30 years and has been awarded two military medals, so he is called a captain.

Zhou Hui pouted, but did not refute Shen Yun's words, but said: "It's okay, it's really not okay, I'll let Uncle Li come over, hmph, I don't believe it, no matter how old his qualifications are, can he still beat the commander of the legion?" ”

For a stupid girl like Zhou Hui, whose political IQ is almost zero, it is nonsense to talk about the truth that only by convincing people can it be long-term, and it is inappropriate to rely on power to suppress people after all.

Shen Yun didn't plan to continue discussing with her, patted her on the back, and said to her, "You go and see if you need to prepare something else from Chief Wenqu, and I don't know if the cleaning towels you brought this time are enough." ”

Zhou Huiqiao's face turned red, and she pulled the reins of the horse and ran towards Wen Cui.

Sanitary napkins are sanitary napkins. No matter how strong a woman is, she can't escape her menstrual cycle. Especially for women with strong physical fitness, such as female soldiers, the amount of menstrual events is generally relatively large. In terms of logistics arrangements in the Imperial Army, there is relatively little consideration for female soldiers, after all, it is rare for female soldiers of the Imperial Army to directly participate in the war. When they were in Dingbian Mansion, they went to buy a batch, and Shen Yun deliberately mentioned it, just to get rid of her.

Seeing Zhou Hui walking away, Shen Yuncai turned around and said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Lao Bai, what do you think?" ”

Bai Xiaosheng touched the few strands of beard on his chin, and said with the appearance of a dog-headed military advisor: "I think that the Hou Ye is going to take charge of the 'Red Fox Department', and the biggest difficulty is not to subdue the generals under him, but how to let the captain of Gongye go at ease." ”

Shen Yun's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Each army has its own small group, with its own group interests. This kind of system is not so obvious in grass-roots units such as the company platoon, but for a group of people, this kind of group interest is manifested. In the combat sequence of the Han army, both a song and a song can be counted as a separate combat unit, and in the history of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a single combat situation below the curve level.

By solitary, we mean that one side is on a combat mission. It does not refer to the battle sequence in the battle.

There are about 1,800 people in a song, and so many people must have their own interests, whether this interest appeal is money or fame, there will always be something they want to get. The most important point of the public punishment being able to fully control the "Red Fox Department" is that it must satisfy these interests.

Although Bai Xiaosheng doesn't understand the term "interest appeal", he understands the truth that "the bustle of the world is for profit", from an individual to a country, every move always has its own purpose.

Shen Yun was worried that he would not be able to meet the interests of everyone in the "Red Fox Department", so he was quite worried, but what Bai Xiaosheng said seemed that he did not need to care about these interests. This made him quite curious.

Bai Xiaosheng said: "The marquis is respected as the marquis of the Han Dynasty, which in itself occupies the name of righteousness, and it is true that the 'Red Fox Department' is an outlier among the flying cavalry guards, but in the final analysis, the 'Red Fox Department' is the 'Red Fox Department' of the Han Dynasty, and it is a member of the Han Yulin Army." They owe allegiance to His Majesty, not to someone. What's more, Hou Ye inflicted a heavy blow on the Roman crown prince in the Battle of Zimu, and played the prestige of our Han army. There are two things. As long as Hou Ye humbly accepts, the generals under the command of the 'Red Fox Department' will surely obey happily. ”

After a pause, Bai Xiaosheng continued: "The only person to worry about is the captain of Gongye. He has been in charge of the 'Red Fox Department' for more than ten years, and the 'Red Fox Department' has only broken into its current name under his leadership in the past ten years. No matter what others think, everyone under the command of the 'Red Fox Department' must agree with this commander. Hou Ye has a righteous reputation. He also has the prestige of daring to fight. It's not that he can't subdue his subordinates, but if the captain of Gongye is resentful, it will be the real big trouble. Therefore, I thought that as long as Hou Ye could let the captain of Gongye hand over the 'Red Fox Department' with confidence, this trip would be complete! ”

Bai Xiaosheng is peeling off the cocoon. The point is stated.

Shen Yun groaned, "Then how can we convince the captain of Gongye?" ”

"Hehe, the day before yesterday, when I was cleaning up a few cases for Hou Ye, I found a manuscript of "On Guerrilla Warfare", and I thought that if Hou Ye was willing to use the above theory to talk to the captain of Gongye. It's going to work wonders! Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shen Yundao with deep meaning.

Shen Yun thought silently, and suddenly smiled: "Lao Bai, do you yourself think that my article "On Guerrilla Warfare" is well written? ”

Bai Xiaosheng clapped his hands and said ashamedly: "It's not just good!" In particular, the 16-character mantra, 'The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase', which is simply thought-provoking! Hou Ye's thoughts are far-reaching, and it is difficult for him to reach his humble position. Speaking of humble duties, he also boasted of reading poetry and books, but he really never thought about it until he read Hou Ye's masterpieces, and he felt suddenly opened. It's really better to read a book for ten years! ”

No matter how thick-skinned Shen Yun was, he turned red at the moment, and said embarrassedly: "Lao Bai, don't make a fool of yourself...... Actually, guerrilla warfare was not invented by me. ”

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Oh? Who is that, who actually wrote such incisive remarks, it can be regarded as a master of the art of war in his own school! ”

"Uh, it's a great man surnamed Mao......" Shen Yun didn't wait for Bai Xiaosheng to ask about the specific situation of this great man Mao, and hurriedly said: "Don't ask, I can't say, uh, his old man doesn't want people to disturb him." ”

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned, and sighed for a while: "Alas, I didn't think that this master of the art of war is still a high-minded and high-minded hermit master who doesn't want worldly fame and fortune!" Xiaosheng admires and admires it! ”

A character who will only appear after 1,500 years has made the ancestors infinitely admired, Shen Yun could only be deeply speechless about this, and silently apologized to Mao Juju: It is he who wants to admire your old man, regardless of my business......

After sighing, Bai Xiaosheng put away his heart of worship and said: "Master Hou, I think that this guerrilla idea may be the way of governing the army of the captain of Gongye, if Master Hou is willing to tell him, he will definitely be able to move him." If he can, he hopes that the Hou Ye can compile this Tao into a book, and then ask His Majesty to issue the ...... of the whole army."

Shen Yun waved his hand and said decisively: "No." At this moment, the whole army must not be promulgated! ”

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned: "Why?" After a while, he suddenly thought of something, and sighed again: "I understand the humble position, although the guerrilla is sharp, I am afraid that it is not taken seriously. Hou Ye has far-reaching thoughts, and it is difficult to reach ......"

Shen Yun didn't want to pay attention to Bai Xiaosheng, who liked to pat on the back more and more, and walked forward.

Of course, the reason why Shen Yun is unwilling to make this set of theories public now is that in addition to the fact that this set of theories will not be accepted by orthodox thought now, there is also a very important reason that he does not want to have the embarrassing thing that "the prophet is not always the first to be accepted in his hometown".

In fact, in Shen Yun's theory, there is not only Mao Juju's guerrilla warfare theory, but also the German blitzkrieg idea of World War II, and at the same time, in order to combine the characteristics of the current cold weapon era, he also summarized a series of practices during the Mongols' westward expedition. Once this theoretical system is taken out, it is difficult to say whether the Han army will be the first to adopt it, but the Romans will definitely be very interested in trying it first. You must know that the most profound and positive person in learning Han culture now is the Romans.

If Shen Yun announced these things, it was certain that the Han military would put them on the shelf, but the Romans would bring them back to Rome. Schlieffen "Such a military genius found out, so Shen Yuncai really didn't have time to cry!"

Moreover, I heard that although the current Roman emperor is nearly sixty years old, he is not less ambitious, and he has privately educated the crown princes more than once: "The Han people are worthy of our learning, and we must spare no effort to learn everything that is excellent and innovative." ”

In the face of such an emperor, Shen Yun had to be careful. At the very least, it will not be announced until he has put this set of theories into practice and let the generals of the Han army really see its power. (To be continued......)
