After Gan Ning left the room. Yan Yan looked at the copy of "The Key to Rejuvenating the Army" that Gan Ning had just stuffed into him in his hand in a daze, and his mouth was a little bitter.

According to Gan Ning, this beautifully bound "The Key to Rejuvenating the Army" is the basic textbook that the generals of the Jin State read during their training in the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall, and the first word "Xing" in the title of the book is taken from Zhao Xing's name, which means that this book is Zhao Xing's exposition on the art of war and military affairs.

With nothing to do, Yan Yan got up and sat at the desk to carefully look through the book left by Gan Ning. As a result, the more Yan Yan looked at it, the more wonderful he felt, and in the end, he couldn't help but shout in the room.

Gan Ning, who was standing not far from the house, could finally leave with peace of mind after hearing the applause of Yan Yan in the room. Tai Shici once specially confessed to Gan Ning, saying that Yan Yan "eats soft but not hard", and if he wants to accept it, he must be moved with affection, and he must not come hard. Now it seems that what Tai Shici said is really right. It's just that Gan Ning really can't understand, Tai Shici is the first time he has seen Yan Yan, how can he know Yan Yan's temperament so well?

The reason why Tai Shici knew so much was, of course, that Zhao Xing had a special explanation before leaving. Sima Yi's powerful generals were the first to recommend Zhang Ren, followed by Yan Yan, if Gan Ning had not been arrested at the beginning, it is estimated that he would still be ranked before Yan Yan now. For these few people, Zhao Xing naturally wants to think about it, and he will definitely not miss one.

Since Zhao Xing secretly ranked the generals in Yizhou, he naturally compared the scribes in Yizhou.

The first place among the wise and resourceful people is naturally Sima Yi, a ruthless and vicious guy. Immediately followed by Sima Yi, it was Fa Zheng, the grandson of Fa Zhen, who showed his sharp corners with Xiao He. Now the people of the world don't know Fa Zheng's ability, but Zhao Xing, who was reborn, knows that Fa Zheng is a top strategist comparable to the "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick".

From the analysis of the official history, for Liu Bei, Fa Zheng's untimely death is like Cao Cao's loss of Guo Jia. Guo Jia died at the age of thirty-eight, and Fa Zheng died at the age of forty-five. After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao led his army south to attack Eastern Wu, only to suffer a great defeat at Chibi. At that time, Cao Cao sighed that if Fengxiao was still alive, why would he be defeated in Chibi. Similarly, after Fa Zheng's death, Liu Bei insisted on leading his army to attack Wu, but suffered a defeat at Yiling. After Liu Bei's defeat, Zhuge Liang once said: It's a pity that Fa Zheng is not there (dead), if he is there, he will definitely be able to persuade Liu Bei not to fight, even if he does, he will not be defeated like this.

In Zhao Xing's opinion, Sima Yi's Fa Zheng is enough to stand up to Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Fei Shi and others. It was precisely because he knew how powerful Fa Zheng was that he agreed to Tai Shici to bring Li Ru, and at the same time equipped the Attack on the South Route Army with Gan Ning, Guan Ping, and Wang Lu, several generals with both civil and military skills.

Tai Shi Ci didn't expect to be able to take Yan Yan's 60,000 army so easily, he originally planned to take Yan Yan at the cost of 30,000 casualties of the Han army and the Jiaozhi native soldiers. Now because Sima Yi was anxious to open the road to Jingzhou, Fa Zheng went to Yiling with an army of 100,000, but he cheapened the South Route Army in vain. If Sima Yi knew the result of his arrangement, it is estimated that killing Yan Yan would not have separated from Fa Zheng.

It was precisely because the losses were small and 40,000 Yizhou soldiers were captured, that Tai Shici and Li Ru once again adjusted their strategy of attacking Yizhou.

Originally, Tai Shici planned to continue to pretend to be a "thief" in the south of Yizhou, and continued to wait for Sima Yi to send troops over to be beaten. Now because of the strength of the soldiers and the strength of the horses, and the situation in Jingzhou is even more severe, Tai Shici and Li Ru decided to officially show the banner of attacking the Yinan Route Army, and appeared in the south of Yizhou with a sweeping face, so that Sima Yi could understand his death.

The sooner Tai Shici's identity is revealed, the less resistance it will encounter on the northern front, and the more it can contain the actions of Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng on the eastern front, it can be said that it will kill multiple birds with one stone. Of course, this will not do much good for the attack on the Southern Route Army itself. After all, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the coolest thing, just like this Yan Yan's defeat, the biggest reason is that he didn't figure out the true identity of the opponent, which led to a light enemy and a mid-ambush. If Yan Yan knew from the beginning that Tai Shi Ci and the three tiger generals were waiting for him in Yizhou County, he would definitely be very cautious and cautious, and even defend the city in Qianwei's subordinate country, and easily not go behind enemy lines.

Tai Shici and Li Ru made such a seemingly thankless decision, preferring to attract firepower to themselves, but it was because of the overall situation. Zhao Xing repeatedly emphasized that generals who do not have a view of the overall situation cannot be commanders, which is to remind his generals that they must always look at problems from a strategic perspective and cannot only take care of their own acres and thirds of land. If everyone has a sense of the overall situation, bloody things such as restraints, scrambles, and prevarication between various armies will rarely occur, and this is very important for achieving a strategic-level victory.

Just when Tai Shici commanded his three tiger generals to be busy recuperating the troops, and the 40,000 Yizhou soldiers were scattered and divided into various armies for running-in exercises, Fa Zheng, who was entrusted with a heavy load, also arrived in Yiling with 100,000 Yizhou recruits.

Zhang Ren had received a secret letter from Sima Yi before, knowing that Fa Zheng led the army to Yiling this time to support him to quickly pull out Huang Zhong and Li Yan who were blocking the front, although Zhang Ren was a little unhappy, but he still personally went out of the Chinese army's big tent and came to greet Fa Zheng's arrival very enthusiastically.

"Xiaozhi, I've been waiting for you to come day and night!" Zhang Ren grabbed Fa Zheng's hand and said half-truthfully.

In the face of Zhang Ren, the first commander of the army in Shuzhong, Fa Zheng, a junior, did not dare to hold it up, and saluted Zhang Ren very politely and said: "I am here to specifically obey the dispatch of the governor, and now the barbarians in the south of Yizhou are in turmoil, we will take Yiling as soon as possible and capture the southern county, which will also relieve the sorrow of the governor." ”

Zhang Ren saw that Fa Zheng could distinguish between priorities and priorities, and he did not put on a posture of nostrils facing the sky and commanding, and his senses of Fa Zheng were much better. He twisted his eyebrows and nodded: "Xiaozhi still needs to do his best to help me take Huya Mountain as soon as possible, Huang Hansheng and Li Zhengfang, the two generals stationed on Huya Mountain opposite us, really give me a headache!"

When Fa Zheng first arrived, he was not in a hurry to express his position, but said very cautiously: "Everything still needs to be dominated by the governor, I am not familiar with the situation in this place, and after I carefully observe, I will definitely share the worries of the governor!"

Zhang Ren looked at Fa Zheng approvingly and said: "This is very good, please also filial piety and know everything, and help me attack Jiangling City as soon as possible!"

Fa Zheng then said: "If the 100,000 Yizhou recruits I brought from Chengdu this time are really unsatisfactory in terms of combat effectiveness, I also ask the governor to organize generals and veterans with experience in leading troops to train the new army as soon as possible, so that they can be put into the battlefield as soon as possible and become a truly useful force." ”

Fa Zheng took the initiative to hand over the military power of the 100,000 new army, which was exactly what Zhang Ren wanted to say in his heart but it was inconvenient to say it clearly. Fa Zheng's strength is to make strange plans and be a military advisor, not to organize troop training and drills, if he grasps the matter of training troops in a big way, it will be difficult for Zhang Renke to do it.
