Chapter Ninety-Four: General Office of Operations

Pei Ju is really amazing!

But Yang Tingfeng didn't know why, but he couldn't help believing him.

Through the understanding just now, he felt that Pei Ju was not the kind of person who spoke casually without thinking twice.

Yang Tingfeng stood up, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down and say." ”

Pei Ju was not polite, put down the jade dragonfly, and sat down, "This matter is not in a hurry, the adults can arrange it in the next military position first, so that Pei has something to do." ”

Yang Tingfeng got up and poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Since the old man asked you to come to my camp as a secretary, then I will come according to his old man's wishes." ”

Pei Juha grinned, blew the hot air, and said with a smile: "Book office? Why not the General Operations Office? ”

Yang Tingfeng said strangely: "General office? Brother Pei, according to the regulations of the imperial court, Jian Zhang Ying has no right to set up the establishment of the general office, unless it ......"

"Unless the camp is expanded from a battalion to a school." Pei Ju said with a smile, "Then I will inform the adults in advance, a good news, the imperial court has finally issued an order, the report of the old marshal's expansion of 50,000 troops has been approved, and it will be issued to all departments of Zisai in the near future, and the army is preparing to march north and fight a decisive battle with the Turks in Mobei." This time, the imperial court seems to have made up its mind, not to fight the Turks for 20 years, and will not give up. ”

Yang Tingfeng frowned slightly, and asked: "Strange, this time, the imperial court promised to be quite refreshing, in the past, the report on the expansion of the army was rejected, but this time, why?" ”

Pei Ju stroked the long beard on his chin, and said with a straight face: "Right now, there are still three months before the summer, if you can have a big victory in March, you can defeat the Turks." Then transfer the 50,000 troops of Zisai to the middle of the Hexi Corridor to deter the countries of the Western Regions. Then the task of the imperial court this year is completed. In the next step, you can devote all your energy to cleaning up the river, raising troops in the tuntian, and building warships......"

"Build warships?" Yang Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the imperial court wants to use troops against Nan Chen?" Wait until the summer, take advantage of the flood season, cross the Yangtze River, and attack Jiankang? ”

"Not so fast!" Pei Ju put down the tea bowl, stepped forward to the "Kanyu Quantu" behind the desk, and pointed to the waters of the Yangtze River on the map, while explaining: "The Zisai border army, fighting with nomads all the year round, is good at cavalry and field warfare, no matter how independent the organization is, it still belongs to the battle sequence of the Northern Army. But since ancient times, whenever the north hits the south, it is necessary to cross the Yangtze River. And if you want to cross the Yangtze River, you have to fight a water war, and the water war relies on warships and cavalry, which can be described as useless. ”

Yang Tingfeng also got up and said: "That's right, but my northern army has learned more about war horses and bows and arrows, but it is inexperienced in water warfare. ”

You know, water warfare is different from land warfare, and you can't just have warships and sailors to win a victory over the waves.

Compared with the army, the navy often relies more on actual combat experience.

Newly built warships, newly recruited sailors, inexperienced, even millions of people, can be said to be useless.

For example, the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Cao Cao's 200,000 army was defeated by Sun Liu's 50,000 coalition army, which was due to factors such as eating northern soldiers and not being accustomed to taking boats. There were many people who were burned to death, but historical records record that most of Cao Jun died because they couldn't stand the wind and waves and suffered from disease.

It can be seen from this that the accumulation of experience in water warfare is very important.

Therefore, a 10-year army and a 100-year navy are not nonsense.

Second, the flood season, rainy season, tide and other situations are all factors that need to be considered by the generals of the navy.

For the Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu had been preparing for ten years.

In addition to the warships and sailors, the flood season, the rainy season, the spy and other complicated situations, all of which were calculated by him, this will have the future to behead Pang De, punish the ban, flood the Seventh Army, and shock the great victory of China.

Third, and most importantly, a naval army must not only have excellent warships, a group of sailors with experience in naval warfare, but also a naval commander who is one in a million.

In the Battle of Luliang, whether it was Chen Lan or Deng Zilong; Yi Sun-sin or Konishi Yukinaga, Shimazu Yoshihiro; The generals of all three sides are experts in naval warfare. This is the strategic analysis, pre-war deployment, physical geography, command and operation of the commanders of the naval army, and so on.

However, the most difficult part of the navy is often the selection of generals.

In ancient times, there were no specialized naval academies. Most of the generals of the navy, so to speak, were transferred from land warfare.

His sailing experience is not even as good as that of a pirate bandit......

Pei Ju bowed slightly, and added: "With the national strength of the imperial court, it is not difficult to build a hundred warships and recruit thousands of sailors in a year, but this general is not so easy to choose......"

"That's right!" Yang Tingfeng sighed, in addition to the movement of the Zisai border pass, he was also willing to inquire about the war in the south, after all, since Liu Yu's destruction of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains, Huaxia Shenzhou, and the north and south have been divided for more than 150 years, and the people are miserable, and it is the general trend for the world to be unified again......

Of course, this does not mean that he has to look at Shu, this mountain looks at that mountain and forgets his main business.

It's just that, as a soldier, he must always know more information and intelligence about his opponent.

Whether it is Turkic, Xianbei or Nanchen......

Although Yang Tingfeng said that he had been transferred to the Western Army, and his opponent had changed from a nomadic grassland to a Rongqiang in the Western Regions, he was also very concerned about this battle between the Han and the Han Dynasty. ”

"Naturally, it's recruitment." Pei Ju said: "Before coming down to the camp, I just got the news from the Shuaifu, because there are not many military households within a radius of 100 miles from Zisai, but there are only 1,000 families, and most of them have participated in the border army, and the source of soldiers is insufficient; This time, the imperial court deliberately opened up the conscription of border states such as You, Ji, Yun, and Shuo, as long as you have a way to recruit them. ”

Yang Tingfeng said disdainfully: "What if you recruit it?" They are all Tuntian soldiers, where can you use such people in war, it's okay to fight! If Yang Mou wants to say, it is better to use the money from this recruitment to go to the Western Regions to buy some BMWs, repair armor, and build nomadic bows and millions of arrows to be used in a row, which is more realistic. ”

"No, no, my lord is wrong." Pei Ju was quite patient, and analyzed Yang Tingfeng one by one: "This time the imperial court conscription is different from the past, and it is not limited to military households in various states. ”

"Oh?" Yang Tingfeng's heart was shocked, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Unlimited military households, could it be ......?"

"Exactly!" Pei Ju said unhurriedly: "This time the imperial court recruits, all men over sixteen can sign up for the army. Those who are under sixteen, but who are more than seven feet, those who are skilled in martial arts, those who are skilled in bows and horses, and those who are fierce and martial arts...... All can join the army. ”

Yang Tingfeng groaned: "This is interesting, as far as I know, this is also the first time since the founding of this dynasty." ”

Pei Ju smiled: "It's indeed the first time, the opportunity is rare, adults can do it and cherish it." ”

"Brother Pei, why do you say this?" Yang Tingfeng was curious.

Pei Ju laughed and said, "After all, the general office of the camp under you depends on you." ”

When Yang Tingfeng heard this, he also laughed.

While talking about the war, the two sipped tea, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

I drank for two hours, but I could hear the thunder in the sky, and it was like thousands of horses galloping through the sky.

In a few moments, a drizzle of rain poured down from the sky and drifted in.

Yang Tingfeng suddenly remembered something and asked Pei Ju: "Is Mr. Pei going to live in the camp today, or will he go to the inner city to rest for a few days and then move in?" ”

Pei Ju twisted his beard and said: "If you can, I want to go to the six towns of Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, and Huaihuang first....... Inquire for information. ”

Yang Tingfeng nodded and said: "In this case, Mr. will go to the nearest Huaishuo City first, I heard that the roast sheep there is fresh and tender........

Hearing that there was food, Pei Ju naturally agreed, "That is the case, it takes a lot of money to have Master Lao." ”

Yang Tingfeng hugged his fists and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. has already put pen to paper, and he will be his own person in the future, please give me more advice." ”

Pei Ju also bowed his hand back: "Don't dare, don't dare, Pei will be in the future, but if there is any offense, please also invite your Excellency Haihan." ”

After the two of them exchanged a few polite words, Pei Ju picked up the "Map of the Western Regions" on the table, seemed to think of something, flipped through it slightly, and said with a smile: "My lord actually washed the dust in the wind." Then, Pei gave the adult another thin gift. ”

"Bo Li?" Yang Tingfeng listened curiously and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Pei, what kind of gift is it?" ”

Pei Ju said with a smile: "I heard that in the wolf mountain in the north of Huaishuo City, there is such a group of clansmen, they are fierce and martial, mysterious and unpredictable, they use scimitars to fight with fierce beasts all year round, and they have integrated a set of technical techniques, and their knife techniques are ruthless, treacherous, poisonous, and fast, and they are extremely strange and invincible." ”

Yang Tingfeng said: "That Wolf Mountain has a treacherous terrain and an extremely complex and harsh environment, so it is actually inhabited? ”

Pei Ju said: "Not only are people inhabited, but there are even several forces. ”

Yang Tingfeng's pupils dilated, and he said, "How many groups? This is unusual. ”

Pei Ju smiled: "The most important thing is that this group of people has fought for many years and hates each other. ”

Yang Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, and said abruptly: "I've been talking for a long time, Mr. Pei, where did this gift come from?" ”

Pei Ju twisted his beard tail and said with a smile: "This, I have to say that the second group of people who are opposed to it." ”

When Yang Tingfeng heard the previous paragraph, he was immediately interested, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, come quickly." ”

Pei Ju muttered: "The second group of people is a group of defeated troops, it is said that they are the descendants of the people of the 'Breaking the Six Han Baling', this Breaking the Six Han Baling, the legend is that it is the descendants of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, when the Six Towns revolted, the responders were nearly hundreds of thousands. ”

Yang Tingfeng said: "However, in the first year of Xiaochang, the Northern Wei Dynasty united with Rouran to suppress the Six Towns Uprising, and the six Han Baling soldiers were defeated and killed, and the head was passed on to the side. ”

Pei Ju added: "After this battle, a team of personal soldiers under the 'Breaking Six Han Baling' fought their way out of the siege and fled into the Wolf Mountain. These people are all masters of spearmanship, who can be lancers on horseback, and are known for being good at hook and sickle spear formations when they get off their horses; The weapon used is not an ordinary spear, but a special hook and sickle. The lower part of the hook has a double barb that spits out laterally, and the hook is curved inwards rather than outward. When charging on horseback, you can use the tip of your spear to pierce the enemy's body; When dismounting and fighting, you can use barbs to hook the legs of enemy soldiers and horses to counter enemy cavalry......"
