Chen Letian pointed to the location of Shu on the unfolded map, and said, "Brother Lu, what you said is so reasonable, but that can only be applied in our battle with the Liang State and the Wei State. Liang Wei's soldiers can still fight with our northern army, and they are generally able to fight. There is an essential difference with the Shudi mountain bandits, as I just said, the death squad in the mountain bandits is indeed strong, but outside the death squad is a typical rabble. To deal with this kind of rabble, a slightly more powerful village brave will do. I mean, let the village warriors in command deal with most of the rabble, and the 300 soldiers of our forward battalion can concentrate on dealing with those elite soldiers. And the three hundred of us will have a lot easier against those death squads. ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

The Wu Commanders nodded one after another and said: "Wu Chang Chen's words are very reasonable, if we let our three hundred people deal with so many mountain bandits, tens of thousands of people, no matter how strong we are, I am afraid we will not be able to withstand their crowd tactics, but if we make good use of the soldiers and horses of the commander, things will be simpler." ”

"That's right, my general policy is like this, but the specific implementation method still has to be discussed by Brother Lu and us, and more details will have to depend on the situation temporarily. Brother Lu, I'm done. ”

The captains applauded. It's the same as when I was in the army. The Wu Commanders admired Chen Letian like a surging river.

Chen Letian smiled and lowered his head to drink water.

The problem was solved, and everyone continued to eat chicken.

Chen Letian said to the little tiger beside him: "Have you finished reading the Analects?"

"I'm done. "Xiaohu is the youngest in their army, and he is also the deputy commander, after Chen Letian left the army, he, the deputy commander, has always played the role of the commander.

"Captain Wu, but there are many, many things I don't understand. When it comes to the Analects, Xiaohu looks very entangled and has a bitter face.

"The more things you don't understand when you read the Analects, the more it means that you read carefully, Xiaohu, it's very good, I didn't mistake you, you have a great chance of being both civil and military in the future. Chen Letian patted Xiaohu on the shoulder. I feel that I haven't seen him for half a year, Xiaohu's shoulders are thicker, and the tendons on his body are harder.

About an hour later, Chen Letian patted his ass and stood up and looked around. The soldiers ate more than a dozen carts of food. The food scraps were dug into a pit and put in. It's like digging a bowl in the ground and putting bones and other things in it, just waiting for wild dogs to eat.

Captain Lu stood up and asked the soldiers to stand in formation, and said, "It's all eaten, right?" Okay, it's been a while, everyone turns over ten heels in place, and I'll take a look." Preparation... Stand up... Begin. ”

The three hundred soldiers quickly dispersed, and when Captain Lu spoke, the words just fell. Everyone started doing backflips. The movements are swift and fluid, and ten heels are too simple for them. After turning it over, Captain Lu passed through the people, looked at this, touched that, and said with a sigh, yes, the county magistrate has not sent enough things, you are not full, right?

Everyone said yes in unison.

The voice was quite loud, and Captain Lu couldn't help but pluck out his ears and said, "After the time of the two incense sticks, except for those who patrol the night, everyone goes to sleep." "Keep your books

"Yes. "Everyone responded.

Only Chen Letian and Captain Lu were left, and the captains also returned their own accounts.

The two watched the moon in a clearing a mile outside the camp. Chen Letian said: "Brother Lu, the situation on the border is normal. ”

Captain Lu said: "It's okay, it's not a big problem, if you want to say that the problem is still the same old problem." Liang Wei's forces are getting stronger and stronger, and they have learned too much from us in the last ten years. "Worry has always been in the hearts of generals and deputy commanders, but also in the hearts of mid-level lieutenants.

When everyone in the world thought that the Northern Army of the Great Song Dynasty was invincible in the world, only the Northern Army itself knew that the real situation was far from the case. Only the superior and middle-ranking generals of the Northern Army have always focused on this aspect. Compared with ten years ago, the current military strength of Liang and Wei has become closer to the Northern Army year by year.

The first thing the general said in almost every upper and middle-level meeting.

"So we have to be vigilant, how to get out of this predicament that has been being chased, how to widen the distance with them, is the most severe test in our current situation. The general said.

So when Chen Letian asked about the situation of the Northern Army half a year after he left the Northern Army, Captain Lu still repeated the old words. In the minds of the mid-level lieutenants, I am afraid that it is possible for Chief Chen Wuchang to come up with a good way to solve this problem.

In their hearts, Captain Chen is not necessarily the strongest soldier in the army, nor is he the smartest strategist, nor is he the sergeant who is the most capable of dispatching troops. But the whimsical ideas in Chen Wuchang's mind are definitely the most in the whole army. It seems that in Chen Wuchang's mind, there will always be countless methods and schemes that people can't think of. And such a person often puts forward his own whimsical methods at meetings, and then although they may not be able to use the proposed methods, they can often inspire the thinking of generals and supreme commanders.

For example, now there is a problem A to solve, B is the solution to the problem, everyone can't find B for the time being, they can't find B after racking their brains, and Chen Wuchang can't find B, but Chen Wuchang can bring up C and D, and then it is very likely that C and D will be thought and analyzed at the top level, and finally B will be obtained.

Therefore, Captain Lu believes in Chen Letian because of his experience in the past five years, and he has seen Chen Letian's miraculous opinions many times.

Chen Letian said: "I still uphold the original opinion, the gap is narrowing because we are playing Yangmou, we can't hide more than 100,000 people when we train, right?" This is the main reason why they learn and catch up. And if we want to change that, we are already changing. It's our military training system, although this is also a conspiracy, but fundamentally speaking, this kind of conspiracy is a little bit of a conspiracy..."

Captain Lu listened to Chen Letian come one by one, although most of Chen Letian had said it at the upper and middle level meetings, but now he heard that Captain Lu still couldn't help but nod his head, and he thought it was true.

What Chen Letian said about a bit of conspiracy is actually that the Great Song Dynasty has a great advantage in military training.

The Great Song Dynasty could pick things up on the border with Liang or Wei and find a war to fight. You can even go to the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions to take a turn and go to Xiliang to have a look. And if you do this, you will continue to bring a lot of combat experience to the Northern Army, even if you are not in the army, you will understand a truth, the best and most important way to maintain combat effectiveness is to fight.

Fighting is the best way to keep the army strong, and here is an eternal truth. No matter how well the routine is practiced, it must be tested in actual combat.
