Governor please stay

Chapter 126 Only those who are prepared can seize the opportunity

In Jinyang, not all leaders are like Gao Huan, thinking about the "lower body".There are also people who are thinking about military affairs, thinking about how to defeat the enemy when they meet Ge Rongjun.

One day before departure, He Bayue called several brothers under his command to the outskirts of Jinyang, accompanied by his own soldiers and some soldiers who were more capable of fighting in the army.It can be regarded as picking out all the elites, and then simulated tactics with hundreds of people.

This kind of thing, in the six towns, the town generals over there often did it.It's just that with the increasing corruption of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the personal quality of those town generals has become worse and worse, and they no longer spend their minds on how to guard the border.Similar martial arts performances have also become ostentatious.

Or call it too lazy to spend time pondering.

"Ayue, is this kind of stick easy to use?"

He Basheng asked He Bayue suspiciously, saying that after he returned to Jinyang, He Bayue had been pondering over and over again, and then figured out this kind of stick that is very convenient to hold. It is a bit short, but it can Hang on the back of the saddle, and at least two can be hung, so you don't have to worry about not being able to use weapons if you take it off your hands.

It's just that weapons are one inch long and one inch strong. If you get a short stick, is it really useful?

"After all, the horse lance is used to match the pointed head. Although it is easy to use, the purpose is still to kill. Ge Rong has 20 people in this battle, which is a real number. Even if we can use five horse lances at the same time, how many people can we kill? , can you kill 20 people?"

He Bayue asked a very sharp question.

Ma Chan is really useful for cavalry generals like them, and it has good versatility.The essence of Ma Chan lies in the amazingly flexible composite rod. As for the Ma Chan head, it can be replaced.

However, there is no omnipotent thing in the world, and specific problems need to be analyzed in detail.The core of this battle is to defeat Ge Rong himself. If this goal cannot be achieved, it is a taboo for military strategists to fight blindly.

Therefore, He Bayue felt that the only way to win was to boldly give up long weapons such as horse lances, give up bulky things such as shields, and increase the speed to the extreme.

Don't say anything, just remember one word for victory: hurry up!

As long as it is fast enough, even a million troops under Ge Rong's command will be for nothing!
And He Bayue believes that to achieve the goal of "fastness", the first thing is to have light equipment and not consume horsepower.Secondly, the weapon in this hand should be mainly used to cut through the enemy's battle formation, and even actively give up killing the enemy!

But imagining is one thing, you don't know if it will work until you actually fight.Of course, there is no problem without a horse, but it does not mean that other weapons are not used.He Bayue specially asked people to forge a lot of short spears with thick poles, which could be swung and pushed aside the enemy's spears.

More importantly, the first wave of the cavalry charge was to throw these powerful short spears out to open the way!He has considered the worst situation, it should be said that he thinks highly of Ge Rong.

But in fact, even if Ge Rong's army is an elite army, the formation level is very average.

"Let's get started, Ash."

He Bayue stood on a high platform, watching hundreds of people below begin to practice.Although this cannot directly simulate the battle situation during the war, it can explain some problems to some extent.

The two sides in the battle were infantry with swords and shields on one side, and pure cavalry on the other. They defended and attacked at the same time, and they looked like they were practicing a little bit.

He Basheng nodded to He Bayue, then got on his horse and began to prepare for the charge.

In fact, this kind of exercise still has certain risks.Even if the knife was replaced with wood, the spear head was removed from the spear shaft. However, the speed of the horse's impact is very fast. At this speed, even if it just falls off the horse, there is a risk of dying.He Bayue dared to play "actual military drills" like this, but he was actually determined to defeat Ge Rong.

For ultimate victory, small sacrifices can be tolerated.

He Basheng gave an order, and he led the cavalry to attack the infantry's phalanx.As He Basheng imagined, when the short spear was thrown and a passage was forcibly opened, the cavalry came into close contact with the infantry on the side.

If the cavalry was configured according to the past, the cavalry would be easily entangled by the infantry who surrounded them, and they would fall off their horses if they were not careful.At this time, the choice of the cavalry general was to ignore these troublemakers and go straight through the phalanx.

It's risky, but it pays off quickly.

Another option is the legendary "Infantry and Cavalry Coordination". After the cavalry broke through the gap, the infantry quickly followed up to expand the gap, and the enemy army completely collapsed.

Of course, not everyone can play this trick, because infantry and cavalry cannot move at the same time, and people are always slower than sprinting horses, so the key to tactics is timing.

He Bayue didn't use either, he just added two stubby sticks to each cavalry!
Sure enough, the cavalry team led by He Basheng began to draw out the short sticks that were within reach from the back waist, and ruthlessly smashed them on the heads of the pawns who harassed them!
All of a sudden, there was the sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves, and the pawns were in a bad formation and scattered towards both sides.He Basheng's troops directly penetrated the infantry phalanx!
"Good! Well played!"

He Bayue shouted loudly, applauding as he walked down the high platform. After everyone assembled, he led the team to disband on the spot, leaving behind He Basheng, Da Xiwu and others, chatting while walking.

Both Da Xiwu and He Basheng participated in the martial arts performance just now, so they are very interested in the short stick that "turns decay into magic".They also didn't expect that a little change would have miraculous effects.

"Ayue, why can't this kind of short stick become the standard equipment in the military?"

He Basheng asked curiously.

This thing is so easy to use, so it's over if everyone uses it.

"Long has the advantage of being long, and being short has the advantage of being short. A short stick can only drive the enemy away, but not kill them. What's the use of driving those people away? They can be regrouped after a little repair.

This thing is tailor-made for Ge Rong, and it is only useful against opponents like them. If it is another person, it may become a waste. "

After all, fighting is still a job of killing people. This kind of short stick is very effective for breaking the formation, but it is not a panacea.He Bayue's mind is still very clear, and he has conducted in-depth research on the combat characteristics of Ge Rong's army.

"Tell me, what is He Liuhun doing now?"

Da Xiwu suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with today's martial arts performance.This made everyone look at each other in blank dismay. Since returning to Jinyang, they have been paying close attention to what Gao Huan is doing.

However, the news came from various sources: Gao Huan didn't seem to have done anything except to have an unpleasant fight with Lou Zhaojun!

Of course, it's unknown whether this is a moral decline or something else. In short, either Gao Huan was having too much fun, or this guy was too insidious and hid too well.

"We don't need to pay too much attention to He Liuhun, as long as we do our own thing well."

He Bayue said in a deep voice.

He is not as smooth as Gao Huan, who likes to play tricks.So we must make real achievements, so as to convince the public.

"Tell me, what is Liu Yishou doing now?"

He Bayue asked with emotion.

"Ayue, you ask me that. Actually, I'm also very curious. This man is a man, at least he is much tougher than He Liuhun! If He Liuhun was in his position, he would have already become the son-in-law of the governor. Er Zhu Ying'e won't let go!"

He Basheng felt that Liu Yishou dared to show Er Zhurong disdain, which was really something ordinary people would not dare to do.What's more, Er Zhurong didn't do anything to him, which is somewhat guilty of guilt.

"I heard that he is in Fangtou, maybe we will meet him again in the near future. But, I hope he will not become a prisoner."

He Bayue sighed, he still doesn't understand why Liu Yishou had to risk his way out despite his "bright future".You have the courage, but do you do this just for peace of mind?
Is the price a bit high?
He Bayue felt that if Liu Yishou hangs around with Er Zhurong, relying on the other party's intelligence, it may not be impossible for Er Zhurong to change the dynasty in the future!

Does he want anything by then?
"Maybe, some people are different from others, that's why he is valued by the governor."

He Basheng expressed the thoughts in everyone's mind.

Liu Yishou, this man, is as elegant and unpredictable as the wind.

……

In the conference hall of the Fangtou Tower, Liu Yishou and Yu Jin looked at the little fat man not far from them with solemn expressions, their eyes seemed to be able to eat people.

"Liu Dudu, General Yu, if you are not in charge, you don't know that Chai Migui is expensive."

Yang Min shrank his neck and said: "In short, after the spring of next year, if the army has no other income, it will not even be able to pay the military salary."

These days there is no military pay for the army, which is the so-called "corvée". For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang "went to serve in Yuyang".

This kind of army relies on a high-pressure policy to maintain its basic organization and cannot fight tough battles at all. Even if you want those people not to run away, you have to spend a lot of energy.

The method of the Northern Wei Dynasty is no different from that of the ancestors. When the corvee is in charge of food, it is dismissed when the farming is busy.These armies can't leave the state and counties to fight, in fact, the combat effectiveness is very stretched.

Now Liu Yishou and the others have supplies, part of which was given by Er Zhurong back then, and part of which was provided by the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Hebei family.But Liu Yishou no longer intends to ask these people for money.

Because of the lack of manpower, this will gradually become the dog's leg of the family and lose autonomy.Whoever takes the money will do things for whomever, the truth remains unchanged.

"Okay, let's do the math again."

Liu Yishou said helplessly that Fatty Yang was still very responsible in his work. Compared with Cui Siam who had doubts, Yang Min quite recognized Liu Yishou and worked a lot harder.

After Yang Min left, Yu Jin went to Liu Yishou's side, and said in a low voice, "Horses don't have night grass and don't get fat, people don't have windfalls and don't get rich. If we go on like this, we'll die sooner or later, or we'll find a family to take refuge in and be a dog's leg.

It is impossible to think of a way. "

Do you think that Er Zhurong doesn't want to create a "teacher of the king"?Do you think he is determined to rob Luoyang?Actually not, everyone is just for a bowl of rice.

In order to maintain a capable army, Er Zhurong must be rewarded generously, otherwise, who will listen to you?
Then why can Ge Rong maintain such a large army?Because Ge Rong did not prohibit robbery, the generals and soldiers under his command played their own games. They followed Ge Rong because they could "take advantage of the situation."

Ge Rong's control over them is also weak.

Liu Yishou's pursuit is similar to that of Er Zhurong, instead of following Ge Rong's path, so suitable or even high-standard military pay and rewards must be in place.Otherwise, this army will disperse sooner or later.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

Yu Jin said thoughtfully.

His eyes rolled wildly, as if he had thought of some bad idea.

"Didn't you mean to take advantage of the opportunity to reinforce Yecheng and grab it in the city?"

Seeing Yu Jin's smirking expression, Liu Yishou knew that he had guessed most of it correctly.Yu Jin waved his hand in defense and said: "That's not called robbery, that's called borrowing, you know. Let's find those fat sheep and ask them one by one. Anyway, they won't be in Hebei soon, so don't worry so much."

This is actually a way.Whoever a rich family is willing to give money to hang a handful of straw on the lintel, the "thief" will not visit his house.And now that Feng Longzhi's main force has withdrawn from Yecheng, I believe that at this time, Li Shen will turn a blind eye to Liu Yishou and the others.

As long as you don't kill a lot.Because if they want to help defend Yecheng, they have to be paid, right? No one will do their best to protect you for free.

"It's possible, but you will lose more than you gain. And there is a suspicion of taking advantage of others' danger and making trouble. It's not impossible to do this, but the food is too ugly."

Liu Yishou shook his head and said.

Robbing those damn big dogs, how can it be called robbery?That's called "taking from the people and using it for the people", it really couldn't be better.

But Yecheng is different. This is the center of Hebei, and almost all the elites of northern aristocratic families, such as Chen Yuankang, gather here.What do you look like in the eyes of others when you play such a game in Yecheng?
To do this kind of thing, you have to pay attention to a timing.

"If you don't go to Yecheng to do this, why don't you go to Luoyang to do it?"

Yu Jin asked back.

Why doesn't he know that eating looks ugly like this, but everyone is going to be hungry, so you don't care if the eating looks good or not?

You can't be so pedantic!
"If you're talking about Luoyang, I...have some ideas."

Liu Yishou chuckled, already thinking about it.

At this moment, Jia Chunhua's figure flickered past the door, and then flicked past again, seeming very anxious.Yu Jin coughed lightly and said, "My dear brother, think slowly here, I'll take my leave first."

Yu Jin also left, and now Liu Yishou was alone.

Jia Chunhua walked in and whispered in his ear: "That Miss Cui is arguing to go back to Yecheng now, and she also said that she wants to marry Gao Shen, and she looks like she wants to die or live, Ah Lang, make up your mind. "

"What is she doing?"

Liu Yishou felt that the little lady named Cui Zhirou was simply baffled.Can't you see what's going on now?

"Ah Lang, if a woman yells to leave, she probably doesn't want to leave. If she wanted to leave, she would have left long ago, so why bother making such a fuss?"

Jia Chunhua guided calmly: "A man with a broad mind can tolerate the enemy, let alone a little lady who has no strength to restrain a chicken?"

"Got it, I'll go see her."

Liu Yishou sighed, both of them are restless, when will it end.
