Chapter 32: A word changes the world
When winter passed and spring came, the Han army finally sent troops. If it weren't for the fact that the winter was too cold and there were too many non-combat attrition, the troops would have been sent in the winter.
An army of 700,000 is a very stupid thing to march together.
How many people can one person directly command?
Some people say, I can't be busy if you ask me to command a person, for example, when taking care of my son, he will ride a big horse on Lao Tzu's head for a while, eat fruit for a while, and let Lao Tzu peel and wash him and feed him to his mouth, and watch TV for a while, he is simply an uncle!
Isn't it okay if Lao Tzu doesn't serve anymore?
It is also said that a talented person can command dozens of people at the same time!
But common sense is that an ordinary person can command twenty or thirty people at most, and if the number is more, he can only manage the group leader through rules and regulations, through acquaintances or by promoting the group leader, so that these group leaders can manage the people, and he is responsible for managing the group leader.
Anyone who has ever been to school knows that when thousands of people gather in the playground, the moderator on the rostrum manages the students by class and adjusts the students' positions.
When his order was delivered, the class teacher asked the class leader to study the class members, class representatives, and others to manage the students, and the orders were passed down layer by layer.
And these humble gadgets are organizations!
After learning this, learning how to organize people and how to manage people, you will be the first-class master of the art of war back in ancient times!
The students are actually very easy to manage, because they can distinguish the left and right, and they can also distinguish the content of the class teacher's orders, and there will be no situation where the class teacher asks the students to go east, and they collectively go west. If it does, it's time for a parent-teacher conference.
But what about the Han army?
The soldiers at the bottom are illiterate, and due to the different sounds of ten miles and different customs for a hundred miles, it is very likely that some more embarrassing situations will occur.
The captain of the 2,000-level lieutenant is a northerner, his accent is the authentic Yan Zhao Zhiyin, but the military Sima under his command is a southerner, and he speaks a southern soft language, and he can't understand what he is saying at all!
And the tun chief at the bottom may be from the Central Plains!
And the soldiers at the bottom are more likely to come from the south and the north!
Of course, the probability of such a situation is not very high, because the generals of the Han army are not stupid, and they will avoid this situation as much as possible.
Therefore, the Northlanders and the Northlanders are together, and the Southerners are together, and the regional discrimination caused by this is naturally unavoidable.
But this also leads to the problem that when the generals use the official language of the imperial court to convey an order, the lieutenant may need to translate it into the native dialect that everyone can understand.
Then he shouted to his subordinates at the top of his voice, but it was not a sound for ten miles!
The Han Dynasty did not have the conditions to popularize Mandarin, and sometimes when the officers were in a hurry, their accents changed, and the dialect and the official dialect were mixed together, who could understand it?
If there are only a few thousand people, this problem is not unsolvable, at best it is a little difficult, but when the number of people expands to hundreds of thousands, the problem is the most troublesome.
Therefore, Lu Zhi divided the army into seven armies according to their origins: the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, the guard army, and the pro-army!
Among them, the pro-army refers to the 30,000 elite soldiers who have trained their spirits, most of them are from the blessed land, and their combat effectiveness is really strong, but they also have extremely serious conflicts with other soldiers!
They have to eat meat every day, three meals a day, and the other soldiers are completely inferior to them in terms of eating and drinking, and it is good to put them together without fighting!
The former army is dominated by the big men in Liangzhou and Guanzhong, they are extremely strong, tall, they look like good men, and the number of cavalry is the largest, and the general who commands the front army is Huangfu Song, an authentic Liangzhou person!
Today, the former army has come to Guandu, which is a large ferry, and the Yellow River is in front of you, and the Yellow River is Hebei!
In today's Dahan, there is naturally no such super bridge across both sides of the Yellow River!
Therefore, today's Yellow River is a natural line of defense, this line of defense is strong enough and fierce enough, the waves are turbulent, and ordinary boats can't survive the Yellow River at all!
As for the large-scale crossing of the Yellow River, it can only pass through some relatively quiet sections, which leads to the fact that as long as you stick to these special places, no matter how many people you have, you will not be able to cross the Yellow River!
......
Above the river, the two sides are clashing.
Huangfu Song glanced at it a few times, and then lazily looked at it again.
He was the commander of the former army, and he had an army of 80,000 under his command, about half of which were cavalry, or one man and two horses, and the marching speed was extremely fast, so he was responsible for building bridges when encountering water and opening mountains and paving roads.
But whether it is cavalry or infantry, it is not enough to see in front of the Yellow River!
The sailors on the opposite side are actually not all new recruits, but their ships are good, their boats are bigger and faster, and there are more crossbows on them, and their own sailors have not yet come over, and they have ushered in the first round of strikes!
"Molotov cocktails, incendiary bombs ready!"
Listening to the captain's order, Huang San found a one-foot-square ball, this kind of ball is a special incendiary bomb, it is said that it is filled with fierce fire oil, once it explodes, it can turn all the places within a radius of three zhang into a sea of fire.
But Huang San also knew that the longer the range of this thing, the worse the accuracy, especially when the two ships were in motion at the moment, whether it could hit it was a test of character and luck.
But who made him Huang San have the luckiest luck on board?
According to the operation instructions, put the incendiary bomb into the magazine, and after making sure that there was no mistake in the direction after processing, Huang San picked up the hammer and slammed the switch!
Rumble!
Touch!
Unfortunately, the incendiary bomb landed on the surface of the river, burning the nearby water. Huangfu Song, who was watching the battle from a distance, was shocked, can this continue to fight?
If this is hit, it will not kill a boatload of people?
One death and one ship, even if you are not afraid of death, you can't die like this, this kind of death hurts morale the most!
After seven days of continuous exploration across the Yellow River, the Han army lost 6,000 men, while the Qin army lost 6,000 incendiary bombs and at least 200,000 arrows.
After making sure that the Qin army's arrows and incendiary bombs would not be exhausted in a short time, Huangfu Song stopped, and did not attack or try to pass through here.
"This time there is Mr. Lao Wenju!" Huangfu Song arched his hand.
Wenju is Kong Rong, Wenju is his word, he is the bloodline of Confucius, and the Confucian family in later generations is different, and today's Kong Rong is still loyal and patriotic.
When the Great Song Dynasty fell, the Kong family took the initiative to kneel and lick the Yuan Dynasty and Kublai Khan.
When Da Meng perished, the Kong family first knelt and licked Li Zicheng, and when Li Zicheng was defeated by the Manchu Qing, he immediately knelt and licked the Manchu Qing again, a proper three-surnamed house slave.
It's just that at that time, it was people who wrote history books, so they didn't write these things directly, after all, they wanted to be faced.
However, Kong Rong is different from those descendants of later generations after all, he is really loyal to the Han Dynasty and really has backbone, so he has a lot of backbone and was killed by Cao Cao in history.
And this time, after the Han released the imprisonment of heaven and earth in Luoyang, he also came to Luoyang and broke through smoothly, not only him, but Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang and others also broke through successively.
"If there is anything to the old man to do, the general directly ordered that although Wenju has made a breakthrough in strength, he is only a scribe after all, and he does not know the art of war. Kong Rong said modestly.
"So far, the enemy has a lot of back-up hands that have not been used. For example, if the Suzaku flying in the sky is halfway through the river, the Suzaku suddenly appears and throws incendiary bombs, how can it be hit?"
"Even in addition to the Vermilion Bird, Daqin's countless strong crossbows are also a headache, considering the environment of the Yellow River, even if the former army is killed and wounded, it may not be able to cross the Yellow River. ”
"So I have to ask Mr. Please!"
Can't beat it!
Can't move!
Can't win!
Conventional methods are useless, so you can only use unconventional methods, and Kong Rong is the hope of Huangfu Song.
"I hope that Mr. can use a spell to directly change the terrain and turn the Yellow River into a flat land, so that the enemy's reliance will be gone. ”
"Good!"
The next day, Kong Rong came to the established altar, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" written by Confucius himself.
Unlike the Analects, the Analects were compiled by Confucius's disciples and his followers based on Confucius's daily life and some of the words he often said, which is equivalent to Confucius's quotations and is the supreme classic of Confucianism.
However, the Analects were not written by Confucius, so Confucius's handwritten Analects naturally do not exist. Among the various inheritances left by Confucius, the most precious treasure is this handwritten book in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Kong Rong is holding the Spring and Autumn Period in his left hand and the Spring and Autumn Pen in his right hand, and in front of him is the Yellow River, which is turbulent and endless at a glance!
Looking left and right, Kong Rong snorted and swiped the Spring and Autumn Pen on his chest, and a crack appeared, and he saw his heart along the crack.
It looks like a peach, jumping and jumping, and the blood in the heart is no longer bright red but blue blood!
Opposite the Yellow River, Xunzi looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction, the head of the Kong family of this generation still has a little bit to look at, and if he can cultivate blue blood, even if he is a little pedantic, it is worth saving.
How can we save him? Find his ancestors!
Let his ancestors come and convince him!
It is impossible to shoot directly at the ancestors!
Dipping the blue blood in his heart, Kong Rong gritted his teeth and insisted on starting to write in the sky!
With the blood in his heart as an introduction, he attracted the power of Confucius left over from the Spring and Autumn Period, and then attracted the essence of heaven and earth in a radius of hundreds of miles!
A horizontal and vertical stroke, each stroke of the hole Rong pale a point, after the six strokes are written, a earth character appears.
The word earth is getting bigger and bigger, and the essence of heaven and earth is constantly absorbed by this word, and when the essence is filled with Dao to a certain extent, the Yellow River in front of you is completely changed.
A stone bridge ten miles wide and tens of meters thick appeared on the Yellow River out of thin air, spanning both banks, and the moat became a thoroughfare!
"You can only hold out for seven days, and the rest will be handed over to the general!"
