From the world of martial arts

Chapter 242

Xi Zhicai clearly stated the general situation of the world today, especially the military deployment of the major princes.

Especially those threatening princes, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and so on.

The dark owls have general information on the strength of each of their families. Although it is not completely accurate, it is generally not bad.

Su Fan attached great importance to intelligence.

Su Fan spent a lot of money and food when Su Fan formed the organization of Dark Owl, especially the cost of Dark Owl, which was even more terrifying.

After all, some people have penetrated into the enemy's interior, and without money and food, it will not work.

Dark Xiao is compared to Jin Yiwei.

Of course, he didn't have the idea of ​​monitoring the officials. The dark owl was more concerned with the outside world, just like the CIA of Uncle Sam on Earth in later generations.

"I didn't expect Sun Jian to be so silent. There are so many soldiers and horses, 50. How did Yuan Shu make him develop?"

When Xi Zhicai mentioned Sun Jian's soldiers and horses, all the generals present were a little surprised.

Everyone is familiar with Sun Jian, especially in the past two years, Sun Jian has been very active.

After returning to Changsha County after the end of the campaign for Dong, Sun Jian raised his troops and joined forces with Yuan Shu to attack Liu Biao.

In the past two years, Liu Biao's life was not comfortable. Because of the enemy, Yuan Shu finally captured most of Nanyang County, and most of Jiangxia County was also captured by Sun Jian.

In the end, it was the aristocratic family in Jingzhou who blocked the two after sincere cooperation.

In addition, other princes in Jingnan began to threaten Changsha. In the end, Sun Jian gave up attacking Jiangxia and turned his head to attack Yuzhang County. In just half a year, he took Yuzhang County and continued to march in Lujiang County.

Many people have never thought of Sun Jian's rapid progress. After all, everyone has always thought that Sun Jian is Yuan Shu's younger brother. Sun Jian often obeys Yuan Shu's orders.

As a result, Sun Jian's strength is now almost catching up with Yuan Shu. Everyone was surprised, especially when he attacked Lujiang County.

Lujiang was Yuan Shu's base, and the prefect of Lujiang clearly supported Yuan Shu early in the morning.

The younger brother rebelled, of course the older brother was angry.

So right now, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian suddenly confronted each other, and suddenly brought out an army of 50, which shocked many people.

You say that the Yuan Shu brothers, or Liu Bei, have drawn hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is not surprising. After all, the Yuan family has this background, and Liu Biao and others have become the governors of a state early. They have this confidence.

Sun Jian's family background is not strong, and he had to rely on Yuan Shu's support before he could fight against Jiang Xia.

As a result, the army of 50 was pulled out after defeating Yuzhang County, which was obviously not easy. Not all of the 50 troops were recruits.

"However, now that Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are facing each other, this good show has begun."

The generals present also grinned after hearing the detailed situation.

Yuan Shu's strength is indeed very strong, even stronger than Yuan Shao, who made him get the support of most of the Yuan clan's elders.

Runan itself is a big county in the world, and half of Yuzhou's chassis fell into his hands early, and he also won most of Nanyang.

More than half of the essence of the Central Plains is in his hands. If there is money and food, there is no shortage of soldiers and horses.

In the past few years, there have been crazy violent soldiers. At this time, the strength of his troops has reached more than 300 million.

In terms of military strength, he is definitely the most.

Of course, the quantity is the most, but the quality is hard to say.

The generals under his command are not well-known, and the only general is only second-rate.

Of course, because of the background of the Yuan family, there is no shortage of middle and low-level generals, and there are also many generals in the refining stage, but most of their strength is in the early stage of refining.

Xi Zhicai pointed out all these information one by one.

As a result, everyone here is even less optimistic about Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu has a lot of troops, five or six times that of Sun Jian, everyone knows that there will be a raging army and a raging army.

Sun Jian's strength, some generals have personally seen it, but he is a real strong general of the sixth level of Liangang.

There are not many in the world that can compare with it.

At the same time, he also has Huang Gai and other four great generals under his command, and I heard that his son Sun Ce is even known as the existence of the little overlord.

If Yuan's subordinates hadn't stopped a fierce general like Sun Jian, I'm afraid that if a big battle really broke out, they would suffer a lot.

Liu Biao had a deep understanding of this point, but after the arrival of the three Liu Bei brothers, they got better.

Now the three brothers sit in Jiangxia, which is also the reason why Sun Jian retreated.

The role of the fierce general is still quite large.

If you put aside the art of war, whoever has a stronger general will often have a greater chance of victory.

"Let them dog eat dog, this gives us a chance"

Among the generals present, except for a few pure fighters such as Xu Chu, Pan Feng, and Zhou Tai, all of them had some foresight.

Moreover, Su Fan set up an academy similar to the Martial Arts Hall in the East China Sea Territory, specifically to train military officers, whether they were low-level or middle-level and high-level officers.

Su Fan knew that in an army, if the officers had a certain amount of knowledge and had a little bit of military strategy, it would be absolutely terrifying.

Although Su Fan admired the crushing attack style, it didn't mean that he didn't want the army to be stronger.

The reason why the staff system of later generations can be carried forward is because the army needs officers with strategies.

Staff officers are actually modeled after ancient counselors.

To a certain extent, the staff officer can also replace the chief general who leads the battle. Once the chief general is in danger, the staff officer can immediately replace him.

Su Fan didn't take out the staff system because the time is not ripe now, but he is still willing to train officers.

Su Fan is not lacking in the art of war, and people like Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Xun You all minored in the military strategy.

Maybe you let them lead the army to fight, maybe not, but as a staff officer, it is definitely top-notch, and then as a teacher, there is no problem at all.

In the martial arts hall, the teachers are definitely very powerful.

After several years of systematic teaching, the generals under Su Fan's command, not to mention all became famous generals, but their horizons were greatly broadened.

Knowledge is monopolized by aristocratic families, and most of the generals are from low backgrounds, so they have no access to the inheritance of the art of war.

In history, why Guan Yu likes to read Chunqiu Zuozhuan is not because Zuozhuan is a chronological history book, and some of the content recorded in it involves military battles.

Because "Zuo Zhuan" has everything in detail, it is called a book on the art of war that is not the art of war. Wu Qi also became a famous general because he inherited "Zuo Zhuan".

Guan Yu was born, so he was doomed to have little access to the inheritance of superior military arts.

You must know that the Art of War is more rare than many Confucian classics, and it is something that the aristocratic family cherishes more, and it is rarely revealed.
