Shao Xun has been stationed in Jijun these days.
Since the day he first arrived, he had a detailed conversation with Yu Chen and took the time to contact the Jijun soldiers, and he had a certain understanding of the Jisang tribe.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Shao Xun likes to analyze from two aspects: advantages and disadvantages.
What is the enemy's advantage?
He has rich combat experience and has been through blood and fire many times. After all, he has been fighting in the past few years and has seen dozens of battles a year. In terms of frequency, it far exceeds that of the Forbidden Army and the Silver Spear Army.
The disadvantage is that this is mostly a failure experience.
Once it fails, there will be too many casualties, and too many people will escape, a large number of experienced combatants will be lost. Silla's strong men are seriously lacking in combat effectiveness and must fight more to grow up, but most of them obviously will not survive long.
To put it bluntly, this is the routine used by bandits in ancient and modern times.
The elites who have survived a hundred battles gather around them as the core force, and then use this core elite to drive a large number of cannon fodder to fight on the move. Those who are lucky enough to survive among the cannon fodder will pass the test and be included in the core battalion. Those who die -
Just die.
What are the advantages of our army?
Well-equipped, training system, skilled skills - yes, skilled skills are a major advantage. The bandits don't have much time to teach you how to use various weapons. After the strong men are brought in, they can only eat a few meals before going to the battlefield.
Another big advantage is that the troops have been training together for a long time and are relatively familiar with each other.
For the Silver Spear Army, it is even more special, because of the teacher-student friendship with Shao Xun, the officers' subjective initiative is high enough.
What are the weaknesses of our army?
The most important thing is that he has relatively little combat experience and has never experienced a bloody and cruel battlefield.
Just because you practice well doesn't mean you won't lose your ability on the battlefield. This is something you need to pay attention to.
Then, after understanding the advantages between the enemy and ourselves, the main point of the art of war is to exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses. At this time, you can do targeted training.
Shao Xun asked Jijun soldiers to join the training, and Yu Chen readily agreed.
As a result, the Silver Spear Army (more than 2,400), the Fu Army (300), the Yamen Army (3,000), and the Jijun Army (2,000), totaling 7,700 soldiers, conducted high-intensity training for several days.
The Fubing Department, the Jijun Army Department and Sizhou Dingzhuang Ten Thousand People also conducted training. However, the intensity was not so high. One practiced every three days, and the other practiced every ten days.
On the second day of July, when Liu Yu and his entourage of more than a hundred people arrived at the eastern suburbs of Ji County, they saw such a lively scene.
"I'm afraid it's too late to train troops now, right?" someone said in a loud voice.
Liu Yu ignored it and just watched silently.
With nearly 20,000 people training, all military orders are in good order. The operation of the whole army may be a little sluggish, but it is already very good.
What we see these days are mostly weak soldiers who cannot be driven. Like the Xuchang soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers, there are not many that have been in battle for a long time and can operate freely.
The army in front of us, if we remove the part that is obviously Ding Zhuang's master, is actually quite passable.
In particular, the more than 3,000 soldiers, all wearing armor, were very familiar with military orders and resolutely executed them. They advanced when they wanted to and retreated when they wanted to. Even if they were scattered, they were within the normal level.
If you train hard for more than a year and fight in a few battles, you will definitely be a strong army.
"This style of play is really weird..." Shen Ling, the head coach, squeezed to the front, raised his head and looked into the distance, muttering to himself.
Shenling, whose courtesy name was Jinggao, was from Wucheng, Wuxing. He had just been conquered and entered the government not long ago.
"It's just grandstanding." Wang Jun, a member of the Zhonglang team (the original name is "Nan + Jun", can't be named) said with a smile: "I have never seen anyone arrange their troops in such a way. It's such a surprise. It's okay to win. If you lose, I'm afraid. It's a matter of life and death. It's a pity that such a beautiful woman as the Princess of Chengdu has to change hands again."
When Liu Yu heard this, his heart became hot.
He is also very beautiful. He has seen Princess Leshi of Chengdu, and she is truly the best in appearance, figure, talent, and a sense of awe and inviolability.
Liu Yu had no idea before, but now that Leshi is committed to a rude soldier like Shao Xun, what else can he be proud of? It would be a lot more fun if he could live in the house.
Wang Jun quietly took a look at Liu Yu's face and felt something was wrong.
Before the Grand Tutor conquered Liu Yu, someone in the shogunate said: "You are still tired of Liu Yu, but if you get close, you will be dirty."
Although this person is talented, he is dissolute and has mediocre character. He is like a ball of grease, which will pollute and harm the people around him.
Liu Yu liked beauties very much. Hearing that the emperor's uncle Wang Yan's concubine Jing was good at music and very beautiful, he came to ask to see her - but naturally she was rejected. How could Wang Yan show his treasure to her? outsider?
Thinking of this, Wang Jun shook his head in annoyance. If he had known that he would not mention Le's family, wouldn't it be better to find an opportunity to earn money by himself? Now he has to face the competition from Liu Yu, which is really not good.
"I don't understand the formation of troops, but Shao Xun can definitely win." The third lieutenant appeared on the stage, and it turned out to be the former prince's concubine Hu Wufuzhi. He only heard him say: "This man can go to the fields. A hard worker is an extraordinary person."
Everyone subconsciously ignored Hu Wufuzhi's words.
This man is not very cool, he is a heavy drinker, he likes to talk a lot after he drinks too much, he talks about everything, and he can't hold back any words.
Moreover, his ability was somewhat poor. After joining the Taifu, he once supplemented Chen Liu as the Grand Administrator. Because he knew nothing about military matters and was not qualified, he was dismissed from his post and returned to the shogunate again as a minister. This was actually a very important act. It is a job, but now it is mostly used to arrange idle people. However, these idle people have fatal flaws in their abilities, and I don’t know how many things have been delayed.
I heard that Hu Wufuzhi will leave the shogunate next year at the latest and become the Grand Central Secretary of Yanzhou - this is quite suitable for him.
"kill!"
"Kill! Kill!"
One square after another roared in unison, the sound shook the sky, and it also meant that today's drill was over.
The sergeants left the arena one by one and headed to the barracks.
Shao Xun came on horseback with his own soldiers.
"Captain Liu." After approaching, Shao Xun jumped off his horse gracefully and bowed in salute.
"General Shao." Liu Yu returned the greeting and looked at Shao Xun at the same time.
So young!
A martial artist who is exposed to wind and sun, lying on the ice and eating snow, may look older than his actual age, but looking at it this way, he is still young.
I heard that he is only twenty years old this year, the age where he has just been crowned.
But I am forty-four years old. Compared with it, it is like the setting sun and the rising sun.
Shao Xun was also sizing up Liu Yu.
The elder brother of the famous Liu Kun, and his younger sister was once a pseudo-princess. Unfortunately, he was thirty-seven or eighty years old, so he had no interest in collecting this post.
I heard that Liu Yu had an extraordinary memory, and in order to win the favor of the Grand Tutor, he silently memorized information on the world's warehouses, cattle and horses, equipment, geography, military books and other information. When the Grand Tutor held a meeting, others didn't know much about it, but he answered fluently and could speak fluently.
These are the basis for making suggestions, which are very scheming and powerful.
In addition, this person's temperament is different from that of ordinary scholars - well, at this time, scholars are all kinds of strange and have all kinds of temperaments. After all, there are people who perform dog holes and bark in the street, and there are not two scholars who run naked in the downtown area.
I don't know if I was drunk on drugs or something.
Liu Yu has a bohemian temperament, and coupled with his pretty good looks, in future generations he will be regarded as a middle-aged prodigal, a handsome uncle-level person, very popular.
However, in the chaotic Hebei, this method is not effective.
Here, swords and guns are used to talk, lives are used as bets, the winner takes all, the weak lose everything, and the handsome uncle can only be reduced to food.
"I heard that after Shao Caiguan arrived at Ji, he trained his troops and horses all day long. I wonder if he can go to war?" Liu Yu smiled, pointed to the Silver Spear Army who was returning to camp, and asked.
"What does Chang Shi think of this soldier?" Shao Xun asked.
"The weapons are sophisticated and well-organized, which can be said to be a strong army." Liu Yu said: "For example, Shao Caiguan's personal soldiers are all wearing bright armor, and even Taifu's personal soldiers are not so extravagant."
"I only have a hundred personal troops, but the Grand Tutor has thousands of personal troops. How can we compare?" Shao Xun shook his head and laughed.
Sima Yue's so-called personal soldiers are the Kingdom's army that was rebuilt for the third time. There are currently three to four thousand people, most of whom were recruited from Qingxu Prefecture, and are still expanding. It is estimated that they will eventually reach the scale of 5,000 infantry and cavalry. Their commander is Lao
Acquaintance: Liu Qia, Lieutenant of Donghai Kingdom.
Liu Yu also laughed, then looked at the back of the Silver Spear Army and asked: "With such a strong army, the thieves will be frightened. I wonder if it is possible to advance eastward with troops as the vanguard of the army?"
"The troops haven't gathered together yet, so we're going to attack now?" Shao Xun asked curiously.
Feng Song, the prefect of Wei County, was defeated by Ji Sang and had only a few hundred defeated soldiers at hand. After Ji Sang left, he was unable to recapture Yecheng. He only traveled in the countryside, using the prestige of the prefect to solicit sponsorship from various families and slowly expand his troops.
Sima Yue allowed him to perform meritorious service for his crimes, perhaps because he had defeated Shi Le before and had high hopes for him.
Pei, the prefect of Hanoi, dispatched his general Guo Mo to lead an army of three thousand to the east. They still have several days to go and have not yet arrived.
The soldiers of Jijun are ready, led by Sima Yao Yuan of another department, with a total of three thousand people, half of the combat soldiers are young and strong - to be honest, Yu Chen is good to Yao Yuan, a foreigner (from Guanzhong) with no background,
I was surprised to find a way to get him a ninth-grade official status. It was a huge favor, and it even meant a bit of personal dependence.
"With Shao Caiguan here, why do we need county soldiers to make up the numbers?" Wang Jun came up and said.
Shao Xunli ignored him. Do you have the right to speak here?
Wang Jun felt bored and was secretly worried: There were countless people in the shogunate who were eyeing Jingu Garden. Some even lamented that Shao Xun had changed it into farmland, orchards, fish ponds, boiled cranes and burned harps, and they were eager to take it.
Just wait, you will feel better!
"What do you mean, Governor?" Shao Xun asked in a deep voice, "If there is a military order, I can lead the troops first."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "The military situation is like raging and the troops are very fast. Why wait for the army to arrive? Shao Caiguan can just lead the troops first. I will supervise the army as a back-up, so don't worry."
Shao Xun glanced at him and said, "No."
Liu Yu was the governor, and he still had to obey military orders. But he always felt that these people were not good birds, and maybe they were trying to make him and Ji Sang consume each other.
There are only a few thousand people, but if they meet the main force of Ji Sang and are surrounded by tens of thousands of people, will Liu Yu save them? Not necessarily.
This is an open conspiracy, taking advantage of the general trend and constantly consuming Shao Xun's capital, but I don't know whose idea it is.
Chapter completed!
