Chapter 335: Wang Ben's bitter heart

"Surround three queyi, attack one side, and lure it out of the city to escape."

Wang Ben said calmly, "Your Majesty, although there is enough grain and grass in the city to make the traitor defend for a year, the traitor has no intention of fighting to the death."

"As long as you can take the head of the city and take the city, you can make the traitors scatter and flee."

"In addition, there are many traitor hills in Liyi City, and they must have their own intentions under strong pressure, so Liyi City will not be attacked."

Wang Ben is very good at attacking the city, and after learning about the situation of Liyi City, he didn't even give a strategy for attacking the city without thinking.

But.

As soon as Wang Ben's words fell, Yingtian proposed a new pacification strategy, "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the fact that there are many mountains in the city and no one is in charge, and surrender to the prisoner rebels in Liyi City."

"Just throw arrows and feathers into the city, and inform the prisoners in the city that as long as the city is opened and surrendered, they will be able to get a way out, but if they don't get out of the city, they will slaughter the city on the day the imperial army breaks through the city!"

"In this way, the rebels in the city will surely be panicked and will not attack themselves."

Although Yingtian is a newcomer, he also has his own set of plans in leading troops to fight and calculate, and he has rich theoretical experience, and the proposed strategy is also a practical method.

Whether it is Wang Ben's strategy or Yingtian's strategy, they are all the best policies, and it cannot be said which one is better.

Yingcheng looked at Meng Ke and Xique again.

It is only an agreement, not an immediate decision on pacification.

"Wechen is in favor of General Wang's engineering strategy, without him, breaking the city with rumors is to manipulate people's hearts, this law does not guarantee that the city will be broken, in case, the rebels in the city do not mess up, or there are capable people in the city to break the rumors, this policy is undoubtedly useless." Xique pondered for a moment and said:

"On the contrary, it is a foolproof strategy to surround three queyi, even if the rebels in the city are ready to defend the city to the death, as long as they break through a city gate and the whole army presses in, they can also pacify the rebels."

"And if the rebels in the city want to escape, there is a tiger camp, and the rebels who are fleeing in the field are probably not as good as ants under the iron cavalry of the tiger camp."

Meng Ke also said: "That's true, besides, this time Your Majesty's personal expedition is intended to quickly destroy the rebels and deter others, and the strategy of appeasement is indeed promising, but whether it is time or deterrent effect, it is not as deterrent as the first war to quell the Liyi Rebellion."

Listening to the suggestions of several people, Yingcheng nodded, and first affirmed Yingtian's strategy, and it was indeed as Yingtian said, breaking the city with rumors is a strategy that can pacify Liyi without losing the least amount of money.

But just as he denied the strategy of appeasement, in this Liyi Rebellion, he didn't care how it started, but how it ended must be according to the script he set.

The results must be the greatest.

And this time, he drove the expedition in person, and poured all his strength into the Xianyang soldiers and horses to quell the Liyi Rebellion.

The purpose is to quickly extinguish the rebellion, prevent chaos and Guanzhong, and at the same time deter the younger generations.

In order to achieve such a goal, the strategy proposed by Yingtian is slightly insufficient.

"However, this Liyi rebellion must be crushed with momentum and calmed down!" Yingcheng is not a person who hesitates, and affirmed Wang Ben's strategy: "This time we will attack Liyi City, besiege three queyi, attack one of them, and if we can lure the traitors out of the city to flee, all of them will be annihilated, so as to deter the younger people from continuing to make trouble!"

Moment.

Many generals around Yingcheng stood up and bowed, "The last general obeys orders!"

There is no rush in this matter.

It will take two days to arrive at Liyi City, and in these two days, if there are any changes in Liyi City, it can be adjusted in due course.

And actually.

The march was a very boring thing, and after a short rest, the whole army started again, braving the scorching sun, and walked towards the city of Liyi.

One hundred and twenty miles, it takes two full days to walk, and there is no rapid march, just more than one hundred and twenty miles like a normal person walking.

Even though it was already summer, and it was getting dark late, the army stopped again, and encamped to eat and rest again, and did not set up camp or set up tents, but gathered every man by a bonfire, and slept in peace.

By the time it was completely dark, the entire camp could not hear a single sound.

Yingcheng also went to bed early, until the next day, at two o'clock in the morning, almost before four o'clock in the morning, it was dark and nothing could be seen, and the war drums in the camp sounded in silence.

The soldiers, who were awakened by the sound of war drums, got up and quickly packed up the camp, and at the right time, they began to set off.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and some people in the ranks were holding torches to faintly illuminate the road, and they walked forward in the twilight, and gradually the sky brightened, and the morning light was divided, and the sky was getting brighter, but it was still dark, and the ground was looming.

As we moved forward, the morning light gradually dispelled the darkness, and the sky was completely bright.

"Your Majesty, Chen is resting for two moments." Wang Ben saw that Yingcheng didn't have the intention of stopping at all, so he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Although this world is uncertain, but when you rest your feet, the soldiers drink water to fill their stomachs and relieve their hands, and take a break from their physical strength, they can go to the future in one breath, and then they will build a pot to cook, and they will be able to arrive in Liyi at the time of unitary, and at this time, the soldiers still have the strength to fight, so they will not be attacked because of the long-distance travel."

"And if you rest at the end of the Chen, there will be a certain amount of time to camp thereafter, but at the end of the unitary period, the soldiers will be sleepy and tired."

"In fact, by this time, the soldiers were already hungry and exhausted, and the speed of their advance had slowed down significantly, less than half of their heyday, so the next half hour of their journey was in vain."

"And this delayed journey had to catch up after noon, and therefore, in order to catch up with the delayed journey at this time, the soldiers were quickened in the afternoon, and when they arrived at the predetermined camp, the soldiers were tired."

"At this time, it is necessary to camp and cook, the army is unstable, and the people are sleepy and tired, so it is the best time to sneak attack."

"When two armies are fighting, if the generals are of equal ability, the details can determine victory or defeat."

Wang Ben said, inevitably teaching.

When Yingcheng heard this, he also suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say: "Order the whole army to rest for two moments."

In this regard, he naturally would not bother with his own expedition, Wang Ben also pointed fingers at him, and even how to march had to be involved.

In terms of marching and fighting, he was not even a novice, and in the art of war, he really had no talent, and could not be judged by intelligence, but Wang Ben, who had been in the army since he was a teenager, had fought more than he had eaten more salt.

There's nothing to dwell on about that.

And with Yingcheng's order, the herald quickly waved the order flag and rushed back and forth towards the slender team, and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, the whole army will rest for two moments."

In an instant, the whole team was like a tree falling apart, and almost from the moment they heard the military order, they lost their spirit and became lazy.

Yingcheng frowned.

"Your Majesty, this is normal, a night's rest, not a drop of water, the march has been nearly two hours, a moment has not stopped, and the soldiers are already tired." Seeing this, Wang Ben explained, "As long as the soldiers are forbidden, some other small things can be appropriately relaxed."

"The army must be strictly governed, but it cannot be clear that all the terms and conditions are restricted, and the army must be relaxed and moderate, so as to maintain the soldiers' courage to fight, if the soldiers are completely restrained like a caged beast, the beast in the cage has been locked for a long time, and the wildness will be lost."

"As long as military discipline is not violated, it is more necessary to let the soldiers return to their original state and let the soldiers relax."

"This is the case at this time, running for a long time, the heartstrings of all the soldiers are tense and nervous, and the military spirit will inevitably become unstable with time.

"When commanding the army, the general's attainment in the art of war is actually only 30% of the victory, and 70% is in the management of the army rather than the battle, a general who can govern the army may not be able to win the battle, but a general who cannot govern the army will definitely not be able to win the battle."

Wang Ben explained very seriously.

Yingcheng also listened very carefully, and silently digested what Wang Ben said.

There was no need for him to learn how to prohibit the administration of an army, which was unparalleled in the world.

But

He had to understand how an army went from a mess of recruits to an invincible army.

There is a difference.

And.

Now he is in the Qin *** team in the era of cold weapons, not the modern soldiers he knows.

After a break.

Yingcheng also felt hungry and ate roast chicken.

Unless he camped, he could only eat for the purpose of filling his stomach, but the food was much better, compared to most soldiers who ate sun-dried buns, rice cakes, and mutton jerky, he could also eat prepared roast chicken, mutton soup, etc.

As for Wang Ben, he also eats beef jerky and steamed buns.

With the son, with the same clothes, with the son, with the son, with the son, with the son, with the son, this is Qin Feng.

Wang Ben has always been strict in governing the army, and basically kept eating the same pot of rice as the soldiers, and only after he set up camp will he be slightly improved.

According to Wang Ben, the general and the soldiers drank and ate together, and even slept together, which could greatly enhance the soldiers' courage to fight, so that the whole army order was forbidden, and the military order was like a mountain.

Military law is only a policy for governing the army, but it is not a complete strategy for governing the army, including patrolling the camp, chatting with the soldiers, even if you remember the name of a soldier and call it out in person, you can also let the soldier repay him with life and death.

And Wang Ben also persuaded him that in the future, he could not just rely on government decrees and military orders to drive the army.

He should often go to the barracks to inspect him, so that the soldiers can remember him, and he should always care about the lieutenant, talk about family life, ask more if the lieutenant has children, ask for a teacher for him if he is young, and ask his director to arrange one or two for him if he is older.

These things are not even a matter of effort for him, but for the soldiers, they are already difficult to climb.

In particular, you can't get in touch with generals and captains when you don't need the army, and forget about them when you don't need them, and you have to hold banquets from time to time to entertain generals and captains.

If it is a general who is guarding various places, he must always give the general some things, and give some wine and food to the soldiers of the garrison battalion.

But on the contrary, when you get to the captain general, you can't care about how his family is and where his children and grandchildren go, because at this level, he has his own way to be found, and he also has family property to protect his family.

He had never found Wang Ben to be such a nagging person before.

Even, he has worked with Wang Ben a lot, met a lot of people, in his impression, Wang Ben is a serious, cold, iron-blooded, extremely strong execution person.

But now he found out that Wang Benzhi's nagging was even more verbose than Feng Quji.

Along the way, Wang Ben almost never stopped talking.

Of course, he can also understand this as Wang Ben wants to increase the weight of military affairs in his heart, and only by understanding can he have weight.

But.

On this boring marching road, chatting like Wang Ben is not boring, but it has increased a lot of knowledge.

If it is said that the people who walk the most in the world, read the mountains and rivers in the world, and walk all over the north and south of the river, Wang Ben should be one of them.

Experience is something that can't really be filled by books.

"Otherwise, in fact, when attacking Zhao State, it was extremely dangerous, although Zhao State is not as good as it was back then, but its border army is no worse than the Tiger Camp, and even stronger, and there are famous generals such as Li Mu and Pang Yuan."

"When King Guowei and Li Mu confronted Jing Cheng, in fact, my Qin State was at a disadvantage, Jing Cheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I couldn't attack the city several times, and at that time, my Qin State couldn't withstand a long battle, if I couldn't break through Jing Cheng in a short time, the other five countries would inevitably hear the wind and come to attack my Qin State."

"Zhao Guo's mistake is wrong, the battle is changed, the king of the state saw that he couldn't help Li Mu, so he used a plan to rebel against the king of Zhao, and for a time the court of Zhao was full of news of Li Mu's rebellion, so the king of Zhao listened to Guo Kai's suggestion and replaced Li Mu with Zhao Cong and Yan Ju.

"Unwillingly, he made a wrong decision, refusing to obey orders and continuing to lead the army on the grounds of "the general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it", however, this just angered King Zhao,

confirmed Li Mu's charge of rebellion, so Zhao Cong and Yan Ju were arrested by King Zhao's secret order."

"A bigger mistake arose, Zhao Cong and Yan Ju had always been jealous of Li Mu's unshakable status in Zhao State, and the border army was unrivaled in Zhao State, these two did not escort Li Mu back to the capital, but killed Li Mu in the name of Li Mu's rebellion."

"These three mistakes directly led to the defeat of the capital of Zhao and the capture of Zhao Wangqian alive."

Wang Ben smiled and said: "Your Majesty may wish to think about it, Li Mu of the Zhao State in the past, just like the captain of my Qin State, who has been on the border of the Zhao State for decades, and how many people have been favored by Li Mu in the army, and when my Qin State attacked, he was framed and unjustly killed, and the impact on Zhao ***'s heart is so heavy."

"Even though Qin and Zhao are different, and even the enmity of the world, at that time, because of Li Mu's unjust death, Zhao ***'s heart was disheartened, and there was no one else to replace Li Mu's military might, plus my Qin army was like a bamboo, which completely crushed Zhao ***'s heart, and since then, the king of Guowei attacked the city of Zhao, and there were few rebels."

"And whether the emperor faced the Six Kingdoms or the anti-Qin people's counter-plots, they were all based on trust, once the military power was handed over, unless there was a blatant rebellion, otherwise, no matter who said anything, he would never take back the military power."

"This is not because the emperor absolutely trusted the generals, but because the emperor knew that when giving the generals the right to lead the army, the generals must be trusted, even if they are suspicious of the generals, they cannot be suspected."
