Chapter 586 Guan Lian learned his meaning

"Is there a saying in it?" Meng Wei immediately frowned and asked.

"If it is in the middle of a big war, the short-term request will naturally be fine, but ......" Wang Ji paused slightly, and then continued: "Now our army's strategy is to defend the city, if we easily change the time sequence, I am afraid that the whole army will complain." ”

"Qin's law is serious, and the Qin army has an order, how can he complain because he got up an hour early?" Meng Fu immediately stiffened his neck and objected, like a young fighter who enthusiastically defended the dignity of the law.

It's a pity that there is never love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. The reason why Meng Fu attaches so much importance to Qin Law is that he risked his life to protect Qin Law, and that is because he and his family, under the protection of Qin Law, have gone all the way to the middle level of the Qin army, and even launched a charge towards the high-level.

As a vested interest in Qin Law, of course, it is necessary to maintain the existing system of rules. What's more, the position of Mengfu is now at a critical time to leap from the middle to the high-level.

At this time, Meng Fu not only needed to take a huge amount of credit externally and show sufficient ability to the top leaders of the Qin State, but on the other hand, he also needed to consolidate the consistency of the legal system of the Qin State internally in order to express his loyalty to the Qin State.

For the underlying may exist

"Complaints", in Meng's view, is undoubtedly a provocation to the legal system of the Qin State, and even the existing set of rules of the Qin State, and naturally, the Mengfu will ruthlessly suppress it.

It's just that Wang Di, as the real upper echelon of the Qin State, is the real rule-maker, and his views are naturally different from those of Meng Fu.

As a high-level person, his attitude towards the bottom is actually much gentler than that of the middle level. The reason is very simple, the middle layer is separated from the bottom layer, and to put it bluntly, the people at the bottom cannot threaten the upper level.

At least not when the sun and moon are upside down

It was like this before the "accident". Without the threat, the upper echelons naturally will not have too much resistance and defense against the lower echelons.

Even, not only will the upper strata not be hostile to the bottom, not only because the bottom is the engine of the whole society, but also because the upper stratum needs them to contain the middle stratum.

Give the bottom a certain hope to become the middle level, let them see a glimmer of light in the dark days, and then surround this glimmer of light, fighting to the death.

It doesn't matter if this fight is made, and the entire state apparatus will rumble to a new level. This was the driving force behind the continuous annexation of various countries by the entire Qin State.

Of course, every year the upper layer will really make a few of the lower layers become the middle level. In this way, the encouraged bottom will continue to attack the middle level, so that the people who are already standing in the middle level are nervous and fearful, and the middle level people can be more obedient: "You have to be obedient, otherwise there will be countless people behind you at any time to replace your current position." "So in the face of the so-called at the bottom

"Complaining", as a middle-level Meng Xiao, he wants to suppress, but as a high-ranking person, Meng Xiao wants to channel.

After all

If there are too many "complaints", it will affect the driving force behind the progress of the country and society. It's not about the level of the two, it's more about the different positions they are standing in.

It's just that Meng Wei is the successor of the Qin army chosen by Wang Di, and he is also one of the superiors of the future Qin State, and Wang Di must give him how to look at the problem from the perspective of the superior as soon as possible.

patting Meng Fu on the shoulder, Wang Di said with a smile: "If you were replaced, you compressed the sleeping time by an hour for no reason, would you be happy?" ”

"No matter how strict Qin's law is, it can't control what the soldiers think!" Wang Yu continued: "In the long run, an hour's training may not necessarily improve the combat effectiveness much, but the separation between soldiers and soldiers is much more predictable. Hearing this, Meng Fu nodded a little reluctantly.

Wang Yi was not angry, if he was so easily convinced, he would not be the person he chose.

Moreover, it is precisely because of such a stubborn person that the unquestionable and absolute authority of Qin Law is guaranteed.

Smiling slightly, Wang Yi then continued: "There are two more points, first, not everyone can call the soldiers, once such a chaotic order is announced but not executed, what is lost is the majesty of being a general." Second, reducing the sleep time of one hour and increasing the training of one hour seems to be beneficial and harmless, but in fact, people's energy is limited, and if they are used excessively, they will be exhausted, and they will be supplemented by food and materials. This is the reason why the sergeant's food needs to be added to three or even four meals in the fierce battle. If the strategy of the Zhao army is really followed, it will either reduce the combat strength, or it will be necessary to increase the use of grain and straw. Its army is no more than 10,000, and I have more than 200,000, and the gains outweigh the losses. Hearing this, Meng Fu suddenly realized, and said: "Zhao Jun is so vicious, he wants to use this plan to waste our army's food and grass." Fortunately, the general saw through it, otherwise, our army would have fallen for its plan. Listening to Meng Fu's words, although Wang Di nodded slightly, he had deep doubts in his heart.

In the end, Zhao Guo really just wanted to induce our army to follow up and waste grain and grass? Or is it that Zhao Jun has become so rich that he can already provide three meals for the whole army without any pressure?

If the former is not in the way, it is nothing more than an unsuccessful ploy of Zhao Jun; But if it is the latter, it means that Zhao's current national strength is no longer what it used to be.

Although it is not as good as Qin in terms of military strength, it may be very close to Qin in terms of real national strength.

This is definitely not good news for the Qin State. Undoubtedly, Wang Di certainly hopes that the real situation will be the former, but there is a voice in Wang Di's heart that faintly tells himself: The latter is probably more likely.

It's just that this idea was quickly pressed into the deepest part of Wang Di's heart. Because for him now, how to win the war in front of him is the most important thing.

"However, Zhao Jun's move also exposed two problems with their coalition forces." Wang Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be thinking about the obscurity on the side.

When Meng Fu heard this, he immediately reacted.

"Is the general saying that there is discord and mutual distrust within the coalition forces?" Meng Fu replied immediately.

"It's natural." Wang Di nodded, and then said: "Since the main forces of the Zhao army and the coalition army have been advancing in separate camps, this situation is almost on the surface. ”

"However, the last general has never understood why the Zhao army wants to be maverick and take his troops away from the main force of the coalition army, and even do not hesitate to expose the internal contradictions in front of our army?" Meng Fu asked a little puzzled.

"Isn't that why?" Wang Yi pointed to the Zhao Jun military camp where there were bursts of shouting and killing in the distance, and said slowly.

"What does the general mean?" Looking at the camp that was hot and quiet as nothing, Meng Fu seemed to have understood.

"Dragons don't live with snakes!" Wang Di did not let Meng Wei continue, but said to himself: "Zhao Jun would rather be self-defeating than be controlled by others; I'd rather face the more than 200,000 troops of my Qin State with a small number of troops, rather than let my elite troops be infected by straw bales! ”

"Perhaps, only such an army and country are worthy of being the opponent of my Qin State." Standing on top of the city, Wang Yi said with emotion.

"What the Admiral said is very true." Meng Wei nodded, and also sighed on the side. Obviously, from top to bottom, the Qin State had already set the Zhao State as the only and biggest imaginary enemy.

Only this time, Qin Jun saw the other side of Zhao Jun's toughness.

"Still." Wang Yi listened to Meng Fu's words, but the words changed, and then said: "This is not surprising, and it is not worrying for the time being. More important is the second point exposed by Zhao Jun. ”

"The second point?" Meng Fu bowed his head in thought.

"It's simple." Wang Yi said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the allied forces of Zhao State are the same as us, and they all want to fight a protracted war. ”

"Protracted war?" Meng Fu still didn't quite understand.

"Yesterday's battle can be regarded as a test for both the enemy and us, and our army is slightly inferior to the coalition army." Wang Di then said.

"But." Meng Yu hurriedly answered: "Yesterday's commander was the last general, if it is commanded by the general, with the combat strength of our army, we will definitely be able to occupy an advantage!" Meandering, Wang Yi shook his head again, and said: "Lian Po and I have known each other as early as in the Battle of Changping, three years of confrontation, between you and me, the strategies that can be used, we have both used them, and said immodestly: I and Lian Po are also half a catty and eight taels, and we can't break the trick at all." ”

"The ability of the generals is almost the same, in terms of combat power, our army's infantry is superior, the enemy's cavalry is superior, and in terms of troop allocation, our army is also slightly inferior to the coalition army. Wang Ji continued.

Therefore, both our army and the enemy army urgently need new ideas and new methods to break the enemy. Let's talk about our army's method first, in fact, it is also very simple, since four people can't beat it, let's concentrate on fighting one person. And if you want to be able to concentrate on hitting a country, the only way is one word - etc. The consumption of the coalition forces is getting bigger and bigger, and the strigoes between the countries are constantly amplified with the course of time, and the internal plans of the coalition forces finally begin. ”

"What about the coalition side? Since dragging it out is not good for them, why is Zhao Jun training at this time, instead of taking my Luodu directly? Hearing this, Meng Fu asked with some puzzlement.

"That's a point." After a few words, Wang Yi finally heard a high-quality question, and praised it.

"In fact, time, for our army, is also a double-edged sword. If it is used well, the Four-Nation Alliance will collapse without a fight, and if it is not used well, I am afraid that my Great Qin will also be hit hard. Then Wang Ji continued: "We have to face four countries! ”

"What does the Admiral mean?" Meng Fu decisively thought of something and said, "Grain? ”

"yes." Wang Yi nodded and continued: "Although my Qin country is rich in land and resources, it is not the power of the Four Kingdoms now. What's more, our army's grain needs to be transported from Guanzhong and even Shuzhong; Among the coalition forces, except for Chu and other countries, the military rations of various countries do not need to be transferred at all, especially the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Wei belong to the Three Jin Dynasty, and there is almost no distance between them and Zhou Wangji. Hearing this, Meng Yu quickly understood what Wang Yu meant.

To put it simply, the two armies will definitely not be able to distinguish between victory and defeat in a short period of time, and the enemy wants to drag our army to the point where our army is short of food, and our army wants to drag it until the other side is in constant infighting.

It's just that the Qin army first caused chaos because of the lack of food and grass? Or did the coalition fall apart first because of the cracks?

Meng Fu obviously didn't know the answer. A pair of eager eyes then looked at Wang Di. It's just that this time, Wang Di didn't give Meng Fu another answer.

It's man-made, he won't sit still, I believe that Lian Po of the coalition army won't either, and neither will the kings behind them.

War is never just about fighting on the battlefield, and the fighting outside the battlefield is often more thrilling than the inside of the battlefield.

Then come and see who is the master of this world!
