Chapter 427: The Art of War in which many people bully few people
After listening to Luo Zhuo's words, Jiang Wei said: "No, no, it's not that there are more people bullying fewer people, this is the power of the art of war." Sun Tzu said: 'Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will divide it, and the enemy will be able to fight, and if not, it can be avoided'.
All these words say that in an engagement, we should think of concentrating our own forces, distracting the enemy's forces, and facing the enemy with superior forces. And when they are at a disadvantage and the situation is unfavorable, they take the initiative to avoid war. ”
"Cut! I thought that the art of war of your Han people was something powerful, and it was not something that taught people to bully the weak and fear the hard. not only teaches everyone to bully less, but also teaches people to blindly avoid war and be a turtle with a shrunken head when there are few people. Luo Gui said.
Jiang Wei smiled bitterly, why is he so troubled, what kind of art of war is explained to this kind of barbarian, isn't this playing the piano to the cow? This time I really can't find myself at ease. Thinking about it, Jiang Wei couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The art of war is broad and profound, there is a sentence that can be made clear if there are many people bullying people and few people, forget it, Jiang will not say anything more to you, Luo Qianhu, please do it." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for Luo Zhuo to sit down, not accepting the other party's challenge. Luo Gui didn't give up, and continued to shout for Jiang Wei to come out and compete with him. Seeing that this barbarian was aggressive towards his brother, Liang Xu on the side couldn't see it, he stood up and said, "Hmph! You are the oldest, and you are also worthy of challenging our general, let Liang come to meet you. ”
After that, he rolled up his sleeves, tucked up the hem of his clothes, and walked to the middle of the field, about to fight with Luo Gui. At this moment, Zhang Bao finally couldn't bear it anymore, he yelled, and said, "Stop, what do you want to do?" This is a good banquet, do you want to make it a Hongmen banquet? ”
Originally, Zhang Bao was quite satisfied with Jiang Wei's handling method, Jiang Wei grew up in a place like Xiliang, where the folk customs are strong, he is a local young man, he can lead an army at a young age, and he is a cold weapon army, so in addition to his strong strategy in the art of war, his martial arts will definitely not be bad, but he chose not to solve other people's provocations by force, which is obviously to face Zhang Bao, and he does not want to make a mess of the situation on the scene and embarrass Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao appreciated his performance very much, thinking that the person Xiao Adou fancied was really extraordinary, not a reckless man. However, all of a sudden, a beam came out and messed things up. Liang Xu is not as urbane as Jiang Wei, he naturally can't see someone pointing his nose and provoking his friend who grew up with him foul language, so he chose to stand up, wanting to help his friend get back face and get back on the field.
However, he just complicated things by doing this, originally, Jiang Wei ignored Luo Zhuo's provocation, and Luo Zhuo would naturally feel bored and go back after scolding for a while, and the matter ended like this.
As for whether Jiang Wei will lose face because of this and be looked down upon from now on, there is no need to consider it at all. After all, the Xianbei cavalry was really defeated by Jiang Wei, the king was defeated, the defeated general was not brave, and no matter how powerful you are, you can't hide the fact that you were defeated by others.
Jiang Wei didn't accept the offer, but everyone would think that he didn't give Xianbei people a chance to take revenge, and they wouldn't think that he didn't dare to accept the challenge. For the Hong army, it is now accustomed to using advanced weapons, advanced tactics, and advanced strategies to fight, and it is not that it is not important for personal bravery, but it will not be as important as the cold weapon troops.
Except for some special troops, the rest of the promotion ranks in the Hong army will not test the strength of individual martial arts at all, of course, some basic military quality items still have to be assessed, but the proportion of scores is not very high, let alone this kind of personal free fighting project.
Besides, what is Jiang Wei's identity? He is the chief general of the 50,000 troops, which is equivalent to the status of Su Li in the Xianbei cavalry, if you want to dig deeper, this thousand household chief is really not qualified to challenge him, he doesn't need to pay attention to the provocation of this kind of person at all. If the Xianbei people really want to challenge Jiang Wei, then they have to let Su Li come out in person, so that the identities of the two sides are equal, and Jiang Wei needs to accept the challenge.
But obviously, Su Li didn't have the courage and ability to challenge Jiang Wei. Although Su Li didn't know how Jiang Wei's martial arts were, he knew how bad his martial arts were. As a member of the steppe people, Su Li's riding and archery skills are still a little, but his level is only at the lower middle level among the Xianbei people.
The reason why his martial arts are so poor is very simple, Su Li is a Xianbei nobleman who has been pampered since he was a child, this kind of person cannot practice hard, and he does not need to charge forward when he fights, and personally participate in the fight.
Just like the people of the Celestial Empire learn English, without that language environment, elementary school, middle school, and university, after learning English for more than ten years, it is difficult to complete even simple English daily conversation.
Su Li's situation is the same, there is no condition for him to learn martial arts well, and he doesn't need to learn much better, as a commander, in fact, what he needs more is the art of war and strategy, how to lead the troops (manage the troops), how to arrange the troops, how to lure the enemy into ambush and so on.
Zhang Bao said as he walked down the table, and when he came to the middle of the two people in the field, he first stretched out his hand and pushed Luo Gui, and said, "You, go back." Then he turned around and pushed Liang Xu and shouted, "You go back too." ”
Liang Xu and Luo Gui glared at each other, and returned to their places and sat down with an unwilling look. Zhang Bao continued: "You will be ministers in the same palace in the future, you don't think about how to serve Your Majesty and the court, but you fight each other here, do you think it's appropriate?" People still think that we have infighting, and if Your Majesty knows that you are doing this, you will definitely feel sad.
The general knows that there have been some unpleasant things in the past between your two armies, but that is all in the past. In the past, you were all your own masters, and there was nothing to say, but now that you are all a family, how can you still care about the things that used to be?
Of course, our army does not prohibit the existence of competition, if you both do not like each other, you can also compete, but the way of competition is not to fight, but to compare the merits of war.
Lord Su Li, Luo Gui Qianhu, don't you have doubts about General Jiang's combat effectiveness? Isn't it disobedient to their combat effectiveness? It's very simple, you can compete with them. ”
"Dare to ask the general how to compete?" Su Li asked Zhang Bao arched his hand.
"It's very simple, each of you leads your own troops to fight against an enemy of similar strength, and after the battle, you count the time of defeating the enemy, the number of heads captured, the number of materials and prisoners captured, and your own losses, and then calculate the results based on this. Whichever team has the highest total score wins. Zhang Bao said.
Private fighting is forbidden in the Hong Army, but healthy competition is encouraged. Taking military merit as a competition is a very good method of competition, and for this reason, a very complete set of competition mechanisms has been formulated, with very detailed rules for competition.
In this system, various factors such as the time to defeat the enemy, the number of heads killed, the number of materials and prisoners captured, and the loss of oneself are weighted and scored differently. The results calculated according to this method are quite just, fair, and objective, so they are very popular with the top and bottom of the military.
