Chapter 139 Art of War Drill

When Xu Han came here, he saw a group of people gathered together and talking about something. She was curious for a moment, so she also leaned up to the middle to look, and it turned out that the two were practicing the art of war.

The training ground was very simple, a mud floor was the battlefield, a few stones were for their soldiers, and a few thin branches became their own weapons.

She knows a lot of experience and knowledge, and it doesn't have to be through real knives and guns and ambushes for thousands of miles. In many cases, it is possible to constantly upgrade one's strategic thinking and tactical skills before the real confrontation losses occur. Although this was laughed at as "talk on paper" at first, it was the most realistic and scientific way to predict the outcome of a battle and guide the actual battle.

In the last Battle of Yannuma, Li Ziyue's generals argued endlessly, and the method they finally adopted was a drill in the art of war.

The most famous "on paper" in history is not the well-known Zhao Kuo's Battle of Changping, but it is a competition between Mozi and Gong Lose, the story is recorded in "Mozi", saying that Gong Lose made a cloud ladder for the Chu State, and wanted to attack the Song State with this, and Mozi, who advocated "both love and non-attack", of course, rushed over to persuade a truce, and he was to the King of Chu, even if there is a siege weapon like a cloud ladder, it may not be able to defeat the city defense method I taught the Song State. So the two used the clothes belt as the city wall, and the wood chips as the city defense equipment for the actual exercise. The public loss squad used a variety of ingenious siege tactics, all of which were resolved by Mozi one by one, until the siege methods were exhausted, and the defensive equipment to defend the city was more than enough. In the end, the king of Chu could only give up attacking the Song Dynasty.

For generals who are well versed in the way of using troops, each branch of the army has its own strengths, and it is nothing more than reasonable deduction and timely investment, which can always achieve the name of constant victory.

At this time, the drill on the field has already been biased to one side, and it is meaningless to continue. But the other party still refuses to admit defeat and wants to continue to hold on.

"Lao Zhao, what's the use of you fighting like this? They've trapped you in the city! Someone couldn't stand it, and pointed to the woman who was about to lose and persuaded, "A daughter's family, what are you afraid of admitting defeat?" Big deal, do it again! ā€

Unexpectedly, the man spoke: "Although victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, every soldier is a living life, and behind them is one family after another, and these families together constitute our Yan Kingdom. If it is easy to start a war, how can we face those soldiers, and the families who contribute one hero after another? ā€

As soon as his voice fell, the last round of attacks approached, and the opponent's army was completely annihilated.

"You, you ......" The man didn't know whether he was ashamed of his words or angry because he lost the drill, his face was flushed, and he pointed at him in a daze for a long time.

The person standing next to her patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "He is nothing more than a bit more powerful on paper, don't you forget, you are a famous talented woman in Jiangnan, no matter how useful the drill is, can you still enter the Qi Corps?" ā€

At this time, someone in the crowd found that Xu Han was watching, and immediately pointed at her and shouted in surprise: "Xu Hou is here!" Xu Hou is here! ā€

Everyone looked back, and it was Xu Han who they had been waiting for a long time.

She raised her head and looked at Qi Qi's people who were looking at her, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has their own opinions on the art of war. However, the Odd Regiment is not an ordinary military camp, and the masters needed in it are naturally different from others. Therefore, I hope that you will not be upset that you have not been accepted. ā€

As she spoke, she spread out the list, and the people in front of her forgot about the drill, and invariably stood in several teams, listening to her announce the results with their ears pricked up.

"Sun Wen, Zhao Zhimin, Lu Lanyue......"

A total of 32 people answered the questionnaire, and only 11 were admitted. When the name was read, they immediately smiled, but more of them were full of doubts or indignation.

"Xu Hou, why don't you want me?" Seeing that the people around him were scattered, and the people who were admitted went back to pick up their packages, and the people who were not admitted left with a look of loss, Wang Sanmeng felt very puzzled, she was a famous talented woman in Jiangnan, and she had been running a private school in her hometown for more than ten years. Under her training, one-third of the students she brought out were admitted to Jinshi.

When the war on the border of Yanguo first started, someone persuaded her to join the army to serve the country, but it happened that the old mother at home heard about the war and couldn't afford to fall ill, so she died in a few days, so she had to stay and deal with the aftermath.

Later, she heard that Xu Han, the Marquis of Zhongyi, had set up a strange regiment, which was the most powerful soldier in Yanguo, and she wanted to come to see it, but why was she not admitted now? Who is she? Didn't even pass a small questionnaire?

Xu Han turned his head, glanced at her, and immediately recognized her as the woman who had lost the drill just now. She smiled at her and said, "Madam, you are ......"

"I am Wang Sanmeng!"

"It turned out to be Mrs. Wang, I remember your questionnaire, you answered very well, especially the song "Blood Battlefield", the rhyme is neat, the virtual and the real reflect each other, and it is very shocking to read."

The conversation between the two attracted a lot of people who didn't have time to leave, and when they saw Xu Han commenting on Wang Sanmeng's questionnaire, they couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.

Wang Sanmeng didn't expect Xu Han to remember the questionnaire he answered, and after being stunned for a moment, he asked strangely: "Since you also think it is good, why don't you have my name?" ā€

Xu Han asked unhurriedly: "Mrs. Wang, I want to ask you, if the Xiling Kingdom sends 300,000 troops to the southwest border at this time, what do I need to do in the first step?" ā€

Wang Sanmeng was stunned when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Naturally, it is to gather ministers to discuss how to retreat from the enemy." ā€

Xu Han shook his head: "The three armies have not moved the grain and grass first. I have read some of your articles, and you take your fame very lightly, and I respect you very much. In your eyes, the new policy implemented by the Third Highness is not the royal road, and only cares about enriching the country and strengthening the army. You advocate the implementation of great policies, advocate the royal road, promote filial piety and virtuousness, and clean the world, and do not agree with the imperial court to save money and food this year, send personnel to patrol the border next year, and cut redundant personnel the year after tomorrow, you think these are trivial matters. Am I right? ā€

Wang Sanmeng never thought that a person she had never met would know herself so well, she looked at it with a shocked face, and nodded stunned: "I, I...... That's true......"

Xu Han smiled faintly: "Then why did you come to my strange regiment?" According to your point of view, am I wasting national and financial resources again, and I am not on the royal road? ā€

"No, no, I—I just want to see the Odd Corps ......"

"I'm sorry, but the Odd Corps is not something unusual, it's not something that anyone can see and enter whenever they want." She paused for a moment and added, "And the Odd Corps is not using the silver in the treasury, but my own private treasury. ā€

With that, she ignored the stunned woman and turned away. She also invited Ye Chengcai to participate in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Northland for a while!
