Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 88 Drawing threads to discuss military strength

Even Chen Zhi was quite surprised by Zhang Yong's sudden change. When he saw this situation, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could it be that this song is still a real celebrity who is open-minded and straightforward?It doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it.

"Ahem, Zhang Jun is indeed a famous scholar in Xuzhou, with an upright temper!" Wang Pan coughed twice, gave a thumbs up, expressed his admiration for Zhang Yong, and then followed Chen Zhi's words: "Since Brother Chen asked Get up, then I will tell the truth, this happened in the north, um, probably in Qingzhou..."

As soon as he said this, Wang Kui's expression changed slightly, and he was about to shout a reminder, but Wang Pan looked over first, shook his head and said: "Everyone present is a gentleman, there is nothing bad to say. Besides, it means that Brother Chen can ask these questions." It’s important to know the key. If you don’t explain the situation thoroughly, it will lead to wrong judgment, which is not good. How can you make a perfect deduction?”

"Within Qingzhou, that is, in the north of Xuzhou..." Liu Kan was slightly moved when he heard this. "The Wang family is also in Qingzhou. Could it be that the subject of this deduction is current military affairs? That's why Wang Kui changed his face. Military affairs cannot be disclosed easily. This What is the origin of this young man? Do you dare to reveal such things at will? Are you not afraid of hidden dangers? "

On the side, Xiao Zuo was paying attention to another thing: "Qingzhou's military affairs. Before Chen Zhi came over, when Wang Pan raised this topic, I felt a little strange. Now it seems that if he is not making it up, From this description, it may be that Wang Mi is talking about him. He heard that this thief is hiding in the mountains and forests, and he doesn’t know when he will be wiped out."

After Wang Pan comforted Wang Kui, he continued: "This group of thieves has less than ten thousand people, and there are not many women and children. They are a gathering of refugees. However, after several battles, it is not easy to fight. As for the official army, there is a foreign army from the imperial court. The elite soldiers, coupled with local garrisons, plus logistics and baggage, probably numbered tens of thousands of people. However, the bandits were cunning and difficult to encircle and suppress. They even took the initiative to harass the officers and soldiers. Soon they even used a alienation strategy to make a partial officer of the army. Will be transferred."

When it came to the final number of officers and soldiers, Wang Pan became vague again.

Chen Zhi also heard something wrong, after thinking about it for a while, his expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Listen to your account, if the officers and soldiers can't wipe them out quickly, this group of thieves will most likely break out of the siege and go south. The ultimate goal is hard to say, but it must pass through..." He glanced at the people present, "within Xuzhou."

As soon as this was said, everyone present was stunned at first, and then had different expressions, but most of them didn't take it seriously.

Zhang Yong even sneered, feeling that he had been deceived by Chen Zhi's bluff and worried in vain, but he had changed too quickly just now and it would be hard to change his face again, which would really become a joke, so he twirled his beard and smiled, quietly She looked at Chen Zhi quietly and thought about whether to praise him or not.

Even Liu Miao and Liu Gang were quite surprised and couldn't understand Chen Zhi's answer. Liu Gang was better. After the surprise, he immediately used his brain to analyze the reasons. In his opinion, since Chen Zhi said so , it won’t be aimless.

But apart from Liu Gang, other people obviously don't think so. Even Wang Min shook his head slightly, feeling that what he said was abrupt, so he said a few words, and a group of thieves from Qingzhou could be connected with Xuzhou, which is a bit too much Far-fetched.

For a moment, his interest in Chen Zhi was greatly reduced. When he saw that the others were looking the same, he suddenly noticed Zhang Yong twirling his beard and smiling. He seemed to have noticed something, so he felt something in his heart and asked Chen Zhi again: "I wonder what's in it?" The reason, I would like to hear the details." From his point of view, perhaps what he will hear next is the standard answer in the book of war.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi opened his mouth and said: "You mentioned estrangement, and you said that you will be transferred. In fact, the general will always need an excuse to change generals. There are hidden dangers in itself, so this plan can be successful. But no matter what, it will make the troops Producing chaos is an opportunity, and it is also the goal that the bandit army strives for."

When Wang Pan heard this, he became a little more interested, and secretly thought that Zhang Yong had discovered something, so he asked again: "What is the goal of the bandit army?"

Chen Zhi did not answer directly, but talked about a seemingly unrelated matter: "I was reading recently and learned that after Emperor Xuanwu unified the world, he said that he wanted to practice martial arts and cultivate literature. He ordered the world to stop military service and all prefectures and counties to disarm. Only a few are left. The large counties only have a hundred military officials, and the small counties only have 50 people. Now they have recovered slightly. Just now you mentioned that some of the soldiers and horses that besieged the thieves were elite foreign soldiers, and the rest were garrison troops. The garrison troops were mostly stragglers. They were gathered together and commanded. , training, will and morale are not good choices, this is the source of hidden dangers and chaos, and those who are willing will take advantage of it."

As soon as he said these words, Wang Pan's eyes lit up. Wang Kui sat up straighter and acted like he was listening. Liu Kan and Xiao Zuo also paid attention, while Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes and his eyes flickered.

These were discovered by Chen Zhi from Legalist books sent by several companies, but they were not the original texts in the books, but the annotations and notes of the ancestors of the family. They occasionally touched on current affairs. Although they did not allow Chen Zhi to understand the general trend of the world, they could Touching some of the imperial system.Xuanwu's order to stop troops was an move to strengthen centralization, with the purpose of weakening local armed forces. The effect was good while Xuanwu was still alive. Once he died, subsequent emperors could no longer maintain it, but the increase in state and county garrison troops was not large. There will not be many people.

"Brother Chen, do you mean that these soldiers are just a mob?" Wang Ding didn't have any taboos and said it directly.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not a mob, but soldiers and horses from different systems must be trained together to unify orders, paces, and formations so that the soldiers know how to turn left and right and move forward and backward. Otherwise, there will inevitably be constraints in command, and there will inevitably be accumulation between superiors and subordinates. Contradictions can easily lead to alienation. You just mentioned that the bandits have begun to harass the officers and soldiers?"

Wang Pan nodded and said: "Yes, the harassment day and night is so annoying that it makes the military camp unsafe."

Chen Zhi pondered for a moment and then said: "This shows that the bandits are in a hurry. They should be divided into several groups and take turns harassing them. The thieves are all refugees. They have no food, grass or baggage. They are trapped in the mountains and forests. They cannot sustain it for long. They have probably reached their limit now." , so they have to harass the officers and soldiers. The more frequent the harassment, the more it shows that they are short of supplies and eager to make changes."

When he said this, he paused slightly, as if he was reminiscing. The others also caught some of the meaning, and they all listened with bated breath.

Wang Kui and the three celebrities no longer looked down upon him, but were attracted to him. As for the Liu brothers, they were even more surprised.

Soon, Chen Zhi continued: "This kind of harassment is just incidental to the exhausted officers and soldiers. The main purpose is to mobilize the officers and soldiers and make them exhausted. Taking into account the previous estrangement, it is just like 'working hard for nothing, and getting close to each other'" "Leave Zhi" is a set of tactics. Harassment and alienation are all designed to cause confusion and underestimation of the enemy by the officers and soldiers, make mistakes in judgment, and slow mobilization, creating opportunities for a breakout! The correct response method is to let the officers and soldiers occupy the geographical advantage and remain motionless. Hold the pass, ignore the harassment, and be alert at all times, and the bandit army will collapse."

"Breakout?" It was Wang Kui who spoke this time. "It may not be easy for the bandit army to break through. Simple harassment cannot shake the foundation of the army."

Chen Zhi glanced at him, and replied: "You can't shake the foundation, but you can make the officers and soldiers paralyzed. They can't tell whether it's harassment or a general attack. When the bandit army concentrates and breaks through, the officers and soldiers may not be awakened enough. It was harassment, and the bandit army took advantage of it and rushed out of the encirclement!"

"This..." Wang Pan hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and said, "We may not be able to successfully break through."

Before Chen Zhi could speak, Wang Kui shook his head and said: "When mobilizing troops and formulating tactics, you cannot use 'not sure' as the basis. You must consider various possibilities and formulate corresponding plans."

Wang Pan was slightly stunned, then silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Zhi with a frown and asked: "Then...if they succeed in breaking through, how can we judge that they will come to Xuzhou?"

"This is just the biggest possibility. The thief will be trapped in the mountains and forests because it is too far north." Chen Zhi thought of the map he had seen in his previous life. "The land in the north has gone through wars and was unified in the south. Therefore, There are many important towns, and the thieves do not surrender but plan to break out, which shows that they are lucky. The reason why they have reached this point is because it is difficult for them to develop and survive in Qingzhou. If they go north after breaking out, the further north they go, the more officers and soldiers there will be, which is contrary to their original intention. If you go west, you will be closer to the capital, and there will be more elite soldiers. These are not troubled times. Going to the capital is like committing suicide. In this case, there is only one direction left."

He paused and pointed to his feet: "Go south, maybe even try to cross the Huaihe River!"
