Chapter 647: The Long Journey Begins Now
For Su Wen, what was most gratifying to him was not how many saint ranks and how many demi-saints there were in the Tiance Army, but that he was finally able to fight side by side with his good brothers again.
And he has a very important person in his formation.
This man is worth more than even the Sages, and he has more than the nearly half a million troops under his command.
The former medical saint, Zhang Zhongjing.
Su Wen has never led soldiers or been a general, but he knows very well that when marching and fighting, the most important thing is not the battle of wits and courage with the enemy, but the fight against nature!
Human beings have lived in the north of the Sacred Word Continent for nearly a hundred years, and the vast majority of the people in the army have never set foot on the land of southern Xinjiang in their lifetimes.
One is not good, I'm afraid that before I got to Nanshu County, the army has already suffered a large attrition!
For example, in the history of the Three Kingdoms in Su Wen's previous life, the most famous battle, the Battle of Chibi, why did Cao Cao fail?
One of the biggest reasons is that the epidemic is rampant in the army, and the soldiers are not accustomed to the environment of water warfare!
The so-called taking history as a mirror is something that Su Wen never wants to see.
And in such a situation, Zhang Zhongjing's preservation zài is very crucial.
Just as Su Wen met Zhang Zhongjing for the first time, when the other party was about to perform surgery for Yin Wuxian, Su Wen was worried, because surgical clinical surgery was not what Zhang Zhongjing was best at.
In comparison, it was Hua Tuo in Su Wen's previous life, but he was the master in it.
So, what is Zhang Zhongjing better at? Or rather. Why did he become a generation of medical saints?
The answer is, curb the plague!
Whether it was in Su Wen's previous life. It is still on the Continent of Sacred Words, Zhang Zhongjing's greatest contribution to mankind. It's all about how to prevent and treat the spread of the plague!
The masterpiece he wrote, "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", is this sacred book of Chinese medicine!
In traditional Chinese medicine, typhoid fever is actually a general term for an external infectious disease, which naturally includes plague.
It is a pity that in Su Wen's previous life, the original book of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" had long been lost, and the surviving parts were all manuscripts collected and sorted out by later generations.
Luckily. On the Sacred Word Continent, Su Wen actually met Zhang Zhongjing himself, and included him in the Tiance Army, and set out with all the soldiers!
With this one person, you can win thousands of troops!
In addition to this, in the Tiance Army, there is another person who is very important to Su Wen.
Chess Saint, Huang Longshi.
In the holy war a hundred years ago, there was a soldier in the human array at that time, Sun Wu. Zhang Liang, a saint, and the previous generation of Terran military advisors, Xun Chen.
These three top strategists have contributed to the final victory of mankind, but it is deplorable. All three wise men are now gone.
In this way, Huang Longshi's storage zài became the most powerful weapon in Su Wen's hands. In addition, before the official launch of the Tiance Army. Xunchen has also returned to Su Wen's tent, so that's it. Su Wen's confidence suddenly became even stronger!
As mentioned earlier, Su Wen is very self-aware, he knows very well that he may be able to be a general, but he is by no means suitable to be the commander of a party, because he has neither theoretical foundation nor actual combat experience, and it is far from enough to memorize a copy of "The Art of War", and he can't even talk about it on paper.
But fortunately, Su Wen is the same as Xu Huanzhi, at least he can know people and make good use of them, when he was in Bishui Pass that day, Xu Huanzhi delegated a lot of rights to several generals such as Fei Zhao, Qian Zhu and Xu Zhan, and today Su Wen gave the same rights to Huang Longshi and Xun Chen!
He was not as proud and self-righteous as Emperor Canglan, but from the day he formed the army, he listened to a lot of Huang Longshi's proposals, including how to march and set up the formation, how to choose the camp to be stationed, how to send scouts to find out the news, and how to hide his true strength and deceive the demons.
Now in Su Wen's Tiance army, there are nearly 200,000 literati troops, as well as 300,000 ordinary soldiers, Tong guò Huanglongshi's Tiyì, Su Wen did not completely distinguish between literati and military generals like Xiao Yongjun, but adopted a mixed formation.
Whether it is infantry, cavalry, or even the logistics team that escorts the baggage, the coexistence of the civilian and the samurai has adopted the disadvantage of temporarily reducing the regional combat effectiveness of the army, but in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
After all, Su Wen knows better than anyone that the talent in the literati body has actually become a rootless tree and a sourceless water, and after it is completely exhausted, I am afraid that the combat ability will be even worse than that of ordinary people.
As for the only remaining page of the divine book in the world today, I am afraid that it will not last until the end of the war, and if you want to replenish your internal talents, you need to turn back and go to the so-called supply station, and if you go back and forth, it will not only greatly slow down the speed of the march, but more importantly, it will delay the warplane!
Therefore, at the very beginning, Su Wen told every soldier of the Tiance Army very clearly that everyone must regard the talent in their bodies as a non-renewable resource, and he will never order to turn back unless it is absolutely necessary, and the whole army is exhausted!
In this way, the benefits of mixing become apparent.
In the early days of the war, the literati could use the war literature to protect the common soldiers, and at the same time, they could learn from these people how to march and fight without the protection of their talents.
When the literati talent of the whole army is exhausted, Su Wen also hopes that his army will still retain a certain combat effectiveness.
Even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can calmly evacuate.
This method has also been praised by Xun Chen, Su Wen naturally boldly implemented it, he hopes that in the end, his team will become a strong army that integrates literature and martial arts, and has a strong army of scholars and ordinary people learning from each other and helping each other!
Of course, this process will be very long.
But who says that this war will be over in three or five years?
Looking to the future is the right choice.
The Tiance Army was the latest, firstly, because Juyong Pass was the closest to the Holy City, and secondly, Su Wen also had the most people in his hands, and he needed time to integrate the team.
Sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, that's what it means.
But what Su Wen didn't expect was that the day before he decided to set off with the whole army, a person who surprised him suddenly came.
The first to enter Su Wen's tent was Uncle Hua.
Of course, Su Wen welcomed Uncle Hua's arrival, but before he stepped forward to greet Uncle Hua, he saw the couple behind Uncle Hua.
Su Wen had never met these two people, but he knew who they were.
So he finally knew why Uncle Hua didn't attend the dissertation conference, and he also knew the reason why these two came tonight.
Su Wen suddenly became extremely nervous.
