Chapter 206: The Invisible Hand

Autumn is a good time to fight.

Luoyang reinforcements arrived, Chang Zhi looked at these childish recruits, and said to the swordsman beside him: "I am a big country, but now I have been reduced to asking these recruits to guard the country, it is too much, too ......" However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find a good word, so I could only end with a sigh.

The swordsman smiled: "You can't say that, it's these recruits, but there are infinite possibilities." ”

Chang Zheng glared and said, "How do you say this?" ”

"Didn't you also grow up as a big-headed soldier?" , The swordsman shook his head and smiled, and said, "If General Zhang Rang Zhang also had such an idea as you, why did you come to today?" ”

Chang Zheng is now a general who guards one side. During this time, he has grown too much, whether it is cultivation or being in charge of soldiers.

"That's what I said, but of these 120,000 recruits, I'm afraid that only a few will survive in the end." Looking at the blank and immature faces, Chang Zhi said.

"Once you succeed, the fault is not you, but the whole world." Jian Yi sighed.

The old general behind him, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said: "You two, you seem to be weathered old guys. What about me, an old man? ”

"Grandpa", Chang Zhi, who looked back, was shocked and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why, I can't come?" Chang Zheng lovingly patted his grandson on the shoulder.

The swordsman on the side hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the general." ”

"Excuse me, exempt, they are all soldiers in armor, and what etiquette do you pay attention to. Kill a few more enemies in battle, command a few more battles, make fewer mistakes, and hesitate less, and you will not live up to the old man's expectations. ”

The swordsman hurriedly nodded yes, although it was addressed to him, but it was obviously to educate his grandson.

"Grandpa, what do you think of this battle?" Chang Zhi humbly asks for advice.

Chang Zheng waved his hand and said, "I'm old, I'm useless, you are already an adult, you can command the battle by yourself, otherwise Zhang Rang that kid wouldn't have handed over such a big stall to you." ”

Turning his back, Chang Zheng said: "Remember, don't lose a big one because of a small one, everyone has their own opportunity, you must hurry up, don't let it go easily." With that, he slowly left.

After the old general left, the two glanced at each other, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes, Chang Zhi laughed: "Now, this is our stage!" ”

Afterwards, he said to the soldiers waiting for the herald beside him: "Quickly convene the generals of each battalion, I want to discuss the matter, and in less than half an hour, the military law will deal with it!" ”

"Yes!" The heralds quickly dispersed and ran towards the battalions.

Zhang Rang changed the original battle mode of each city in Luoyang, but divided the team into battalions, and now there are more than 200 battalions on the front line, each battalion is more than 8,000, and the least is 3,000. Among them, veterans account for about 20 percent, 50 percent of summer recruits, and the remaining three layers are newly recruited recruits. Externally, it is known as an army of 800,000, and its power is not weaker than in its heyday.

On the other hand, Longyu has less than 100,000 troops on the front line, which is really insignificant.

Suzhou, which is allied with it, also has 200,000 people, and Suzhou has the least war and the least losses, but it has completely changed hands, which is really amazing.

Half an hour, whether it is long or short, the generals of each battalion came one after another in the interior of the tent.

More than 200 people, standing in four rows on the left and right, from top to bottom, without any chaos. Although there were a large number of people, there was no noise, and even the sound of breathing was inaudible.

Chang Zhi nodded with satisfaction and asked the herald, "How?" Have you all arrived? ”

The herald hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's all here." ”

"Good!" Chang Zhi stood up and walked around everyone with the swordsman, no one spoke, the atmosphere was solemn and breathtaking.

Walking over in a circle, seeing that most of these generals were well-trained, had excellent quality, and most of their reactions were not squinting, and even dared to look directly at themselves, Chang Zhi admired Zhang Rang's ability to run the army even more in his heart. At the same time, I also have a feeling in my heart that I want to fight.

"You are all the elite of my Luoyang", Chang Zhi returned to his position, stood up straight, and said: "The big war is imminent, I heard that there are traces of the movement of the army in the territory of the Dragon Palace, according to incomplete statistics, in the future, the number of people who will fight on the ground will reach an astonishing two million." Guys, I'd like to hear what you think! ”

The general standing first on the left took it and said, "Although the Dragon Emperor is strong, my Luoyang is not weak, not to mention that there are more big merchants and Suzhou on the side to assist, and they also have the strength to fight." ”

But before he finished speaking, the general opposite him sneered and interrupted him: "Joke, this is something that everyone can see, what are you doing when you say it?" Does the marshal want to hear this kind of nonsense? ”

The person on the left was not annoyed, but sneered: "Then you say two words that have made achievements?" ”

"Hmph", the general on the right smiled proudly and said: "Having said that, but now our army has 500,000 troops lined up, and Long Yu is only 100,000 at this moment. The last general thinks that this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Oh? What you can see, can't you see when Zhang Dashuai is there? But even he didn't react, you are a little biased general, but you are pointing fingers, which is really funny! ”

Chang Zhi was happy when he heard the words of the man on the right, but the latter's words made his face darken. The swordsman was on the side, seeing Chang Zhi's complexion change, his mind turned slightly, and he understood his thoughts.

Zhang Rang abolished the original general mechanism and divided his soldiers into these large and small battalions, so that these generals had absolute control over the troops directly under them, but between the battalions and battalions, theoretically they were at the same level, and no one had the power to mobilize anyone.

Of course, this is only a theoretical situation; In fact, these generals, who had a small amount of real power, soon formed gangs and formed small circles. A group of people with similar opinions and strategies naturally mixed together, while those who disdain to form gangs have basically lost their right to speak.

Of course, this is not conducive to the implementation of Zhang Rang's original idea, but to another extent, it has also achieved a further concentration of military power, and orders can be carried out more effectively. As the saying goes, there are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom, and a system is often much more effective than the old system before it is rigid, and this is the purpose of change.

Pulling back into the tent, the two have quarreled inextricably, attacking each other, and it is getting more and more intense, and if they don't stop it, they can simply fight in front of themselves! Chang Zhi retracted his thoughts and shouted, stopping the struggle between the two factions.

"Enough!"

The rivalry between these two factions is not all meaningless, at least it makes the swordsman clear where they stand. The faction on the left-hand side is obviously firmly in favor of Zhang Rang, advocating defense and waiting for Zhang Rang to come back; The faction on the right hand side is much more active, although it is not necessarily to support themselves, but the main battle is undoubtedly their most intuitive idea.

"Swordsman, what do you think?" Chang Zhi didn't want to listen to this noisy quarrel anymore, let alone continue to pretend to be deep, he directly asked the person he trusted the most.

The swordsman stepped forward and said, "The words of General Long and General Yu are reasonable. ”

One sentence made everyone angry, this is an old peacemaker, and I'm afraid I can't discuss it today.

But even Chang Zhi, who has the character of a swordsman, is not like this, he knocks on the table and listens carefully to what the swordsman says.

"If we are in the main battle, the Dragon Emperor's strength is now much inferior to ours, it is easy to repel it, it is more difficult to defeat, and it is impossible to annihilate it. And we attack in advance, the consequences are more serious, one is the question of the allies, the second is the problem of loss, and the third is, if it really hurts the dragon king, what we have to face is undoubtedly the anger of the dragon king. ”

General Yu, who was in the main battle, was about to go crazy when he heard this, but after listening to the next analysis, he was silent. When the dragon general of the main guard snickered, the swordsman continued to analyze: "But if we are the main guard, there are many problems. ”

"First, the deployment of the defenders, which mainly involves the big merchants, because the big merchants and the dragon royal do not border, the big merchants have no positions at all. Now the troops of the Great Merchants have been deployed one after another, and now there are about 100,000 people, and they are still placed by us. But there are too many people, and there are still problems. ”

General Long was about to speak, but was interrupted by the swordsman: "General Long, I know what you mean, but you have to understand that once you attack, the main contradiction will change, so that the friction between our two armies will be much smaller." ”

"The second point is the issue of resources. I don't know if you have ever cared about the issue of supplies, but these days, the daily consumption of 600,000 troops is not a small amount. Not to mention Luoyang, whose strength has been greatly damaged now, is in its heyday, how long can it support so many troops? Half a year or four months? In my opinion, the current Luoyang is already overloaded, if we can't change the situation of the war, the collapse of Luoyang is not from the front, but from the rear! Everyone knows about Longyu's new policy, and everyone must know that there are not a few fugitives who are captured every day! ”

There was a moment of silence for everyone at this point. These people are good at fighting, but when it comes to the larger level of military strategy, they have no idea.

The swordsman's words were not finished, he finally expressed his opinion, but before that, he made up the third point in his heart: if he waited for Zhang Rang to come back, Chang Zhi would have to stand aside, and if even Chang Zhi stood aside, what was he?

Therefore, the lesser of two evils, the common harm of war and defense cannot be avoided, but a compromise can be taken. We can do this, and then we ...... like this"

Listening to the swordsman's thoughts, Chang Zhi's eyes lit up, and he directly patted the case: "This idea is wonderful!" That's it! If something goes wrong, Zhang Shuai is back, I will take the responsibility, you are all ready to go! ”

"Yes!" Two hundred people had a meeting for such an inexplicable reason, and then they were assigned a task and left in a hurry.

And when there were only two swordsmen and Chang Zhi left, the swordsman quickly observed left and right, and said: "There is another important step in this plan, I can't go into details, I'll tell you now, but don't leak it out." ”

"What steps?" Chang Zhi was taken aback, his breathing was a lot heavier, originally he thought that this plan was already seamless, but he didn't expect that there would be a backhand.

"That is, to cut off the back road of Suzhou."

"What? Why? ”

The swordsman smiled coldly: "Could it be that your idea is just to defeat the Dragon Emperor?" ”

"But", Chang Zhi hesitated: "But Longyu is so strong, we are still stabbing knives in the back, so we are afraid of ......"

"Don't be afraid, the dragon is just a paper tiger." Relying on Chang Zhi's identity, the swordsman has done a lot of work, and some special information that can only be exchanged between players is also placed in front of him.

Dragon Palace, will not command the troops!

Due to the different ruling structures, those generals who were supposed to command the troops were all players, and these people were obviously difficult to quickly manage the troops during this time. Even if the individual is strong, in front of the army, everything is a floating cloud.

Moreover, he also heard that those elites of Longyu have recently lost a lot of money! The opportunity is fleeting, and the words of General Chang are simply a clear indication of whether there is any!

"Old general, you're watching our performance!" The swordsman directly came up with a killer idea.

escaped with his family behind his back, and relied on the strength of not admitting defeat, so that he climbed into the army little by little to his current position. But Chang Zhi was still a little disappointed in his heart, because this was still relying on the afterglow of Chang Zheng, the former pillar of the empire, otherwise among so many generals in the empire, why did he pick himself alone? And now, there is an opportunity in front of him, as long as he does it, not only to prove himself, but also to directly surpass the old man's achievements!

Moreover, if he succeeds, his merits will be directly comparable to Zhang Rang, the second military god of the empire, Chang Zhi seems to see this glorious scene beckoning to him!

"It's done!" Gritting his teeth and slapping the table, Chang Zhi roared.

Looking at Chang Zhi who was so excited, the swordsman smiled secretly in his heart, and while reminding Chang Zhi to be careful about the wall, he was thinking: How should he thank this master at that time?

As a player, the swordsman's ambition is naturally not just to be a small military advisor. His idea is to take advantage of his characteristics of being in the dark and not easy to attract attention, and use the influence of Chang Zhi to manipulate a huge power change.

And the result is the worst and the worst, and at most I will change my master.

But if you succeed, you don't need to pay so much attention to words and deeds, and pay attention to etiquette. Because, when the time comes, most people's lives will be decided by him.

Yanling, wait for me, when I succeed, I will definitely find you. When the time comes, do you still pretend to be indifferent, or do you want to cater to me? I'm really looking forward to it.

Nameless, wait for me, wait for me, and when I succeed, the first one will be to break you into pieces! You're just a little lucky, if it weren't for Yanling to help you, you would be nothing, a little white face who eats soft rice! Wait, I'll be coming to you soon! Wash your neck and wait for death!
