In the past few days, Yu Dong has been sullen, since the surrender of the most limelight has been Li Chengdong, Yangzhou he rushed to break through the city before everyone arrived, and then crossed the river alone, 200 horses down Nanjing. And Yu Dong failed to find a large number of ships and did not dare to venture across the river, and finally waited until the Shun army on the opposite side forced to land the Jiang defense army before sending him the boats, and he also failed to catch up with the last battle of the attack on Huang Degong because of his slow movements, and was hurrying to Taiping Mansion when Xu Ping sent a message asking him to turn around and go to Nanjing to take charge of the occupation task.

After arriving in Nanjing, Yu Dong found out that he was the last Jiangbei army left behind, Li Chengdong, this kid was about to be robbed, and he didn't have any nostalgia for the flower world of Nanjing, and went straight to Taiping Mansion to attack, and he grabbed it again.

"Before and after crossing the river, I didn't make an inch, how can this be good?" Yu Dong, who was full of worries, did not hide his loss in front of his master Wu Wei: "The limelight of my dignified Jiangbei Governor has been robbed by these guys!" ”

"In my opinion, Dongjiang might as well erect a monument outside this Nanjing city." Wu Wei said unhurriedly: "I have thought of the inscription for the owner, so I will call Shunyu Dong to extinguish here." ”

After hearing this proposal, Yu Dong, who was worried, jumped three feet high.

"This inscription has a history...... Wu Wei slowly told Yu Dong the allusion of Zhang Hongfan.

"Isn't it Zhang Hongfan's thief? He wrote 'Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here' in Yashan, and later someone added a Song character in front of it, the national dynasty...... No, the former Ming didn't despise what the thief did, so he smashed this monument and threw it into the South China Sea. Yu Dong shouted, although he was a martial artist, it was not that he didn't understand any allusions.

"Yes, so the owner should add a straight word in front of the name, so that future generations will not look good if they add a clear to the owner."

"However, this monument will still make people all over the world say that I am extremely shameless, and besides, the Song Dynasty was indeed destroyed by Zhang Thief, and the former Ming Dynasty, if it is said that Chongzhen Ye is finished, it will be destroyed by King Shun himself. If Hongguang Ye also counts, it is the Taiping Mansion; I don't know if King Lu or something is still going to jump, if they all count, then it's still early to destroy Ming, and besides, this Nanjing, I didn't beat it. Yu Dong shook his head wildly: "How can this be made?" ”

"Does the proprietor want to be rich in this life? Or do you want posterity? Wu Wei asked sharply.

Yu Dong grabbed his right hand into a fist in the air, and replied without thinking: "Of course it is the wealth of this life!" ”

"Well, does the owner want the king and the general to laugh at the thought of you? Or do you frown and shake your head a few times at the thought of you? ”

"Of course, I hope that Your Majesty and the general will always laugh at the old man."

"Then the owner will do as I say, and set up this monument before the general arrives, the owner is the first obedient general to lead troops to garrison Nanjing, and the monument is not completely unreasonable." Wu Wei shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "If it is really the owner's contribution to Zhang Hongfan, this monument cannot be erected, and of course there is no need to erect it." But now the owner obviously has no credit, others know that it is Dong Shi Xiaofeng when they see it, and King Shun and the general will only think it is funny, they can't help but laugh and laugh out loud when they think of the owner, so of course they will not come to trouble the owner in the future, and they can't be ruthless. As for shamelessness, are there few shameless people in this city? The proprietor is not unique. ”

……

Indeed, as Yu Dong expected, Xu Ping is now the most optimistic among the generals in the Jiangbei Army is Li Chengdong, on the way to Nanjing, Xu Ping also asked Li Chengdong to accompany him, asked him about his experience in the war since crossing the river, and finally asked about the burial of Huang Degong.

"General rest assured, we have buried Qi Hou in Taiping Mansion," Li Chengdong felt that he had almost figured out Xu Ping's spleen and stomach, and immediately replied: "Although the battlefield is each its own master, but after getting off the battlefield, the last general always feels very ashamed, although General Huang does not know the mandate of heaven, but he is a loyal minister and filial son, the last general is not, not a great person like him." ”

"General Li doesn't have to be like this," suddenly surrendered so many Ming troops, Xu Ping didn't know how to settle them, but the war had come to an end and they were a little unkind with the rank of the Ming Dynasty, so Xu Ping appointed them all as Sima. The most eye-catching performance during this period of time is Li Chengdong, and he seems to have some loyalty, if it weren't for Nanming's faintness, maybe he wouldn't have surrendered. Xu Ping secretly thought to himself that he could promote this person to King Shun as the envoy of the Nanjing Festival, or take this person with him to assist when he continued the southern expedition.

After arriving outside Nanjing, Yu Dong hurriedly rushed out to greet him, he had a bad impression of Yu Dong Xu Ping, from the very beginning this guy fornicated with the Shun army, and sold the friendly army and the boss at a good price here in Xu Ping, in the past, of course, Xu Ping hoped that the more people like Yu Dong in the enemy army, the better, but he also hoped that the fewer people like him would be, the better.

From the beginning of the surrender, Yu Dong's performance was unnoticed, Xu Ping felt that it was a waste to hand over tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to this kind of person, on the way to Nanjing, Xu Ping was thinking about the disposal of Yu Dong, and planned to carefully check the public security situation in Nanjing, if Yu Dong made any mistakes, Xu Ping planned to deprive him of his military rights and send him home to retire - this Dashun army could not accept all the wine bags and rice bags left by the Ming Dynasty, and the appropriate reduction of incompetent Xu Ping felt that it might also be beneficial to remind other generals and let them work diligently.

When he arrived at the city gate, Xu Ping had already prepared a few questions, planning to consider Yu Dong's city defense deployment and see what preparations he had for a surprise attack by an enemy from inside or outside. What attracted Xu Ping's attention was not the magnificent city tower of Nanjing, but a tall stone tablet that had just been erected.

This stele was repaired by Yu Dong overnight, and of course the patterns around the stele were too late to carve, so Yu Dong asked people to paint it.

There are ten gilded characters on the stele: Shunshang General Yu Dong is here!

There is a red silk hanging banner on the top of the stele, the two sides are painted with moire, and there is a grass platform next to the stele, Yu Dong explained that he intends to build a pavilion here for the rest of the tourists and ladies who visit the stele.

The guards behind him laughed one after another, Xu Ping couldn't help but laugh, Yu Dong bowed down and asked: "If the general thinks that this monument erected by the last general is arrogant, then the last general will immediately dismantle it." ”

"Don't trespass, don't trespass," Xu Ping laughed, and the entourage behind him was also full of joy, even Li Chengdong and his personal soldiers also laughed, Xu Ping stretched out his hand and patted Yu Dong's shoulder affectionately: "This monument is very good, Yu Sima must repair it well, and it will be a cloud of tourists in the future." ”

There was a tide of laughter beside him, and Xu Ping also went into the city happily, and when he inspected military affairs on the city wall, Xu Ping, who was in a good mood, was also very enthusiastic to point out many inconsiderate places for Yu Dong.

When he wrote to King Shun in the evening, Xu Ping was still laughing while writing, and he recommended Yu Dong to King Shun, a courtier, saying that if King Shun had time, he might as well meet this person, and he would definitely be in a good mood and swept away the unhappiness.

As for Yu Dong's ability to lead troops, Xu Ping is still very unoptimistic, he is now considering a little bit of Yu Dong's rights, so that he does not bear any heavy responsibilities and has no opportunity to eat any empty salary, but now Xu Ping's mind has changed, he feels that completely depriving Yu Dong of his military power and future may not be a good note: after all, the other party used to be a high-ranking official like the governor of Jiangbei, and leaving Yu Dong with the status of a senior military general is probably also beneficial to persuading the remaining Ming generals to surrender, and it will also make the people of the world feel that the Dashun regime is kind.

……

The three battalions of the guards were originally expanded to 6,600 people, but now there are more than 15,000 people in addition to the sick, and all of them have been sent to Hangzhou.

"What is this?"

Li Chengdong, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo led a total of 17,000 soldiers and horses under their command to continue the southern expedition with Xu Ping, and they all asked such questions after seeing his huge sand table in Xu Ping's military camp.

"This is a kind of chess invented by Hou Ye, called War Chess." Xu Ping further transformed the military chess that was previously used for staff deduction, and he felt that although the hexagonal grid chessboard was much stronger than the square or triangular grid, it was still far from being compared with the real war, for example, the chess pieces only had six directions of action, and the terrain needed to be rigidly contained in the grid; Therefore, Xu Ping canceled the grid, and now the chess pieces can move in any direction, and instead use a ruler to measure the distance of movement, and there are different mobile force conversion formulas when passing through different terrains.

For example, in the Battle of Shanxi, a battalion of the new army will basically lose the battle after losing one-tenth of the people, and the distance of the battle will also cause different kills to the enemy, etc., Xu Ping used these to replace the simple offensive and defensive numbers in the original war chess.

"Can this predict victory or defeat?" After listening to Xu Ping's introduction to the design ideas and gameplay of war chess, the generals of the Jiangbei Army raised questions with great interest.

"This ......" Xu Ping originally wanted to answer the question directly, but when he said it as soon as his thoughts turned around, it had already become: "I was going to use this war chess to speculate on victory or defeat, which is also the original intention of Hou Ye to design this chess, but it is not known whether it will work or not, a few generals will help me to take a closer look." ”

……

On the way of the Shun army to Hangzhou, Xu Ping once again discussed military affairs with several accompanying Sima Zhao, and once again mentioned the issue of war chess: "Do you think it is feasible to use war chess to speculate on victory or defeat? ”

"Not feasible." Li Chengdong and Liu Zeqing replied in unison.

"The general is not angry, the last general knows that the respected teacher Huang Hou and the general have invested a lot of effort in this thing, but the soldiers are fierce and dangerous," Liu Liangzuo used more euphemistic words: "When the last general and others thought that Huang Hou and the general were a little whimsical. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping smiled slightly, and Sima Yu Shenhe of the Guards Battalion asked for him, "Why?" ”

"Because the battlefield is changing rapidly, it is not known in advance whether this army will retreat with a loss of one or two; I don't know if they're good at shooting or if they're high morale. For example, the Funing Army, the armored battalion that met with them in Jiangxi had the impression that the morale of the Funing Army was okay, but the shooting level and reaction speed were much worse than those of the Shanxi New Army, which was reflected in Xu Ping's war chess simulation, Liu Liangzuo said: "This thing can only be used for reflection after the fact, can not be used to predict in advance, the general is to do it carefully, and it is impossible to guess all the details of the other party in advance, if it can really be so, it is not this thing can predict victory or defeat." ”

"Not to mention, on the battlefield, the commanders of each battalion will react according to what they see, they don't see as much as the commander of the whole army, but they are clear and careful, so the reactions are different," Xu Ping laughed, years of experience in the war told him that it is not easy to communicate on the battlefield, the more people there are, the more energy needs to be spent to clear up misunderstandings and interpret reports, and these things that can determine victory or defeat cannot be simulated in war chess: "Ben will do this thing, in order to let colleagues communicate in advance." Of course, victory or defeat still depends on the command of the battle. ”

Although Xu Ping revised the war chess very carefully, it only served two roles in the army from beginning to end: first, to let the new staff officers and officers who had never been on the battlefield or had not been on the battlefield a few times have an understanding of past combat examples; The second is to let the officers who play chess together have an understanding of the personality of their colleagues, and know how they will react in different situations to improve the level of tacit understanding on the real battlefield in the future.

As for the temporary command, Xu Ping admitted that this thing can make the commander know the battle situation at a glance, but it is more intuitive to observe it with a telescope than to set up a battle chess, unless it is a battle situation that is beyond the scope of the naked eye. However, it is still Xu Ping who said before, unless he can fly the sword and pass the book, it is beyond the scope of the telescope, that is, there is no possibility of command, so the war chess thing is still useless for the command of the battle.

……

Hangzhou

"This thing is called war chess," after hearing that the Shun army was heading towards Hangzhou, the teaching team and the generals of the new army began to assist Huang Naiming in commanding the army: "It was created by the Hou Ye, and it is ingenious, and it can predict victory or defeat." ”

Huang Naiming had never commanded a large army before, that is, hundreds of people had not commanded, and now he had to command 50,000 troops to engage the enemy's 20,000 or 30,000 troops for the first time, and he was quite nervous about the upcoming war.

"The young marshal doesn't need to worry too much, as long as you use this to do a few more deductions, you can understand the changes in the formation," the generals of the new army brought Song Jianjun to let him personally guide Huang Naiming on how to use war chess to make deductions, and they helped introduce it on the side: "Young marshal, look, this is a chessboard designed by Hou Ye himself, and it is all hexagonal - if it is a square array like a Go board, there are as many squares as if you walk on one side and pass through diagonally, which is obviously not in line with the battlefield situation, and the hexagonal shape designed by Hou Ye is different, it is really ingenious." , exactly the same as the real battlefield, every time the last general thinks of Hou Ye's design, he admires it to the ground. ”

Seeing the combat effectiveness indicated on the chess pieces, Huang Naiming asked, "How did this number come about?" ”

"It was designed by Hou Ye himself, each soldier must have organic power, attack power, defense power, assault and counter-assault power, Hou Ye's chess is really heaven-shattering!"

"The thieves are more experienced now, so the attack power of each of their chess pieces is set at twelve, while ours is only eight, two-thirds, and the generals feel that this is a fairly appropriate number."

Huang Naiming was very excited when he heard this, but he still had some questions: "But if this can really predict victory or defeat, then how did we lose before?" For example, Shanxi, don't you make deductions? ”

"Yes, of course I did the deduction." Immediately, a few generals of the new army introduced in a gossipy manner: "Young marshal, just tell the truth, and I'm afraid that you will say bad things about Lord He." ”

"There is no child's play in the army, of course you have to tell the truth! Go ahead. Huang Naiming encouraged.

"That's the case, when we deduced it, we decided that one of our battalions and one battalion of thieves had the same combat strength, and two battalions against one was enough to win, but this was when each battalion had its own artillery team, Lord He was stubborn and had to transfer the artillery teams of each battalion, so that the combat strength of each battalion was greatly reduced, and after the artillery was concentrated, Xu Ping seized the opportunity to serve it in a pot. This is inconsistent with the deduction, not the fault of the deduction, it is Lord He who is blindly directing. ”

Another person said: "Although Ji Xinghui's thief finally surrendered spinelessly, but at the beginning he said that he wanted to make a detour from the side of Niuweizhuang, which was also deduced, and the deduction proved that if he attacked Xu Ping's rear in a roundabout way, he would definitely be able to win a big victory, and he couldn't insist on Li Dingguo to reinforce him at all, but Lord He didn't believe in the deduction, saying that it was inconvenient for him to command, and stubbornly refused to send a roundabout army, which was not the fault of the deduction, but Lord He made the same mistake as Xu Ping back then, I thought that a little old battlefield experience could really be compared with Hou Ye's world-conquering war chess. ”

Huang Naiming looked at Song Jianjun, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Does Uncle Song have anything to say?" ”

"If you meet Xu Ping, he is not a lowly opponent in terms of playing chess, but he really goes to the battlefield and commands tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight, I am afraid that ten lowly positions are not Xu Ping's opponents."

"Don't be afraid, the last general is also a battle-hardened person, and the last general will help you fill in the gaps," these generals of the new army have all been on the battlefield as commanders of thousands of people before, some have been on the battlefield two or three times, and many have been five or six times: "Xu Ping didn't believe in this war chess back then, and the result was a big defeat, and Lord He also made the same mistake." ”

The two veteran staff officers of the Changqing Battalion were called for questioning, one of them said that he did not know, while the other confirmed the statements of the generals of the New Army to Huang Naiming: "I was a member of the exercise back then, and General Wu and General Fu Qian had long expected that the Ji thieves would concentrate and use the horse exploration rangers to cut off our retreat, Xu Ping just didn't believe it, and the result was true, and our battalion suffered heavy losses...... Hou Ye's war chess is really a divine thing. ”

The two staff officers took their leave, walked out of the camp tent, and asked the one who didn't know, "Why are you so good at reversing black and white?" ”

"Didn't you correct it too?" The staff officer who spoke retorted: "Isn't Lord Xu's experience enough? If you tell the truth, you have to bear the black pot and be a scapegoat, and only a fool will tell the truth. ”
