Chapter 137: Training the Army (Part II)

"No, you're all wrong!"

Han Fei took a moment, raised his index finger, and shook it slowly, "First of all, my army is only one thousand, but the grain and grass are sufficient. What about the other princes, it's none of my business, Han Fei, with my father here, even if it is an army of thirty or fifty thousand, I can afford it, but I only have one thousand! ”

Who let us have a good old man with a thick waist, this year, fight for Dad!

"Again, you only think of one aspect and neglect the others. The art of war is cloudy, soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and the way of calculation cannot be calculated in this way, for example, I raised an army of 500 people, and used up the wealth that can raise an army of 5,000 people. But the combat ability that only raised is equivalent to 2,500 people. It seems to be a loss, but I only used 500 strong men, and my combat strength is equivalent to 2,500 people, which is equivalent to saving 4,500 strong men. What will be the wealth of these saved strong men? ”

"Raising an army, no more than others, there are more factors in it...... Let's use an inappropriate analogy, if there are only 5,000 people in a county, and 500 strong men are drawn to fill the army, then there are still 4,500 people who can engage in farmland production and can feed these 5,000 people; But what if 5,000 men were in the army? Who planted the land? Where does the grain and grass come from? ”

"I'm afraid, waiting for such an army is only starvation, because he has lost his roots and is deformed."

Han Fei's unprecedented calculation method made Guo Jia and Chen Qun suddenly raise their heads and look at Han Fei in shock.

Whether it is Guo Jia or Chen Qun, they are undoubtedly full of talent. It stands to reason that such a simple algorithm is difficult for two people to get right, but it's a pity. Although the two have talent, they still lack a little experience, and to put it bluntly, they are just talking on paper.

Chen Qun, born in the Xuchang clan, is now in his twenties and thirties, but the army's business. It was his first contact.

Guo Jia......

Although he stayed with Yuan Shao for less than a month, the military affairs had nothing to do with him at all.

New after all!

Even if it's here in Han Fei. The real contact with the army was also after Han Fei surrendered the hundreds of state soldiers, but there were not many days.

No one is born with experience. It's by accumulation!

It's just that this method is too peculiar. The two of them didn't think about it for a while. In the book of soldiers, it is said that the soldiers are fine, not many, in the eyes of most people, it is also understood as the importance of elite soldiers, Guo Jia and Chen Qun also took this misunderstanding, perhaps, they have experienced it in the future. in order to truly understand the meaning of this sentence.

This sentence not only symbolizes the role of elite soldiers, but also helps a country. A large number of prime-age laborers have been saved.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Han Fei smiled, got up and looked ahead, and gradually his eyes became a little deeper, "And I don't want to raise tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, such an army, at least for the time being!" If I have the opportunity, while my father still has enough background, I can raise 5,000 such elite soldiers, so that, judging from the current situation, it is enough to support a big war. Elite, there is elite usage. Isn't it? ”

"Moreover, a person's experience is limited, even if he is a powerful general, there are only a few thousand to 10,000 people who can really do it, and if there are too many people, sometimes, it is likely to be a bad thing."

Of course, it's good to have a lot of people, but you also need to have enough generals to be able to command!

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, here.

Dou Jiande's more than 100,000 people roamed in the Tiger Prison Pass, and launched a fierce battle with the small army of 3,500 people under Li Shimin's command.

At that time, Wang Shichong was surrounded by Li Shimin's army in Luoyang City, lacking food and grass, and the people's morale was decadent, so he sent messengers to Dou Jiande for help several times. Dou Jiande learned that Luoyang was in danger, and was afraid that Tang would endanger himself after destroying Zheng, so he decided to unite with Zheng to attack the Tang Dynasty first, and then find an opportunity to destroy Zheng and then seize the world. So he led more than 100,000 troops to the west, and successively conquered Guancheng (now Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province), Xingyang (now Henan), Yangzhai (now Yuxian County, Henan) and other places, and entered the east of the tiger prison.

Li Shimin discussed countermeasures with his subordinates, and the generals mostly advocated retreat. He decided to divide his troops to besiege Luoyang, occupy the key points of the tiger prison, and prevent the Dou army from marching westward, killing two birds with one stone. Due to the dangerous terrain of the Tiger Prison, the Dou army could not advance, and was stationed for more than 1 month, and many battles were unfavorable, morale was low, and the generals were homesick. Li Shimin learned about it and lured him into battle. The Dou army was indeed all dispatched, and Li Shimin ordered the cavalry to rush straight to the Dou army. Dou Jiande was discussing with his ministers, and the Tang army suddenly arrived, attacking back and forth, and the formation was in chaos. The Tang army pursued for 30 miles, captured more than 50,000 people, and Dou Jiande was wounded and captured. Li Shimin returned to Luoyang, and Wang Shichong surrendered. Win in the end.

This battle also saw the emergence of an elite unit, the "Xuanjia Army". In the Battle of the Tang Xia Tiger Prison, Li Shimin led thousands of Tang troops to confront more than 100,000 Xia troops, including 3,500 "Xuanjia Army".

Li Shimin once used 1,000 elite soldiers to defeat Wang Shichong and beheaded more than 6,000 prisoners. In the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass that decided the ownership of the world, Dou Jiande led more than 100,000 elite main forces to support Wang Shichong, and Li Shimin only used 3,500 Xuanjia elite soldiers to reinforce the Tiger Prison Pass, and as a result, Dou Jiande broke more than 100,000 people, Dou Jiande only led hundreds of horsemen to escape, and then, Wang Shichong of Luoyang was also eliminated. The situation in the world completely turned to the side of the Don Army.

Three thousand five hundred against more than one thousand, a complete victory, what this means, Han Fei himself knows.

"Everything obeys the lord (major general)." Guo Jia and Chen Qun glanced at each other, and there were no scruples in their hearts, and they said in unison.

"Okay, let's go buy 200 pigs first, and if Chen doesn't stay enough, I'll go to Xuchang to buy them, in short, buy all the pigs and sheep that can be found in Yanzhou, and feed the army with meat." Han Fei ordered loudly.

At the end, Han Fei smiled suddenly, "Don't save money on my father." ”

These words, it sounds, very unfilial, even, at first glance, it looks like a loser, but Guo Jia and Chen Qun know that Han Fu is very rich, a real landlord and old wealth, this point, it may not be in the eyes, this is the wealth of Jizhou!

What's more, they also know that Han Fei is doing the right thing!

"No!" The two answered.

Han Fei thought for a while, and said: "In the future, this matter will be handed over to Brother Changwen to be responsible, Feng Xiaotian will come out, and I will make other arrangements......"

I'm leaving!

However, Han Fei planned to stay in the Jizhou army of the 500 "broken army" trained by Gao Shun, at least, before he had no base area, or before the "broken army" was really trained, it was very necessary for Chen Qun to stay.

And that thing......

"Yes, Major General!" (To be continued......)
