Chapter 97: The Method of Chasing Troops(1/2)
Chapter 97: The Way to Provoke Army
Wang Zhongsi's words were too unexpected. Not only did Ge Shu Han be stunned, but everyone present looked at Wang Zhongsi in surprise. Except for Chen Wanrong, who knew that Wang Zhongsi was a "little adult", others did not know him very well. How could they not be surprised when they heard such sharp and profound words?
Chen Wanrong smiled and asked, "Wang Zhongsi, from what do you think, how should we deal with Geshuhan?"
This is considering him, not really trying to deal with Geshuhan.
Wang Zhongsi didn't even think about it and said, "This is a misdemeanor, just reprimand!"
According to military law, such matters should be punished. In any case, Ge Fushun, the commander of Guoyi, could not have imagined that Wang Zhongsi was so reasonable at such a young age. He was even more surprised. He looked at Wang Zhongsi and asked, "Wang Zhongsi, are you good at military law?"
Chen Wanrong replied on behalf of him: "General Ge, don't think that Wang Zhongsi is young and doesn't know anything. He is a young and mature man. He has never told you that he is already a young general who is proficient in military arts. He is familiar with the Q&A between Emperor Taizong and Duke Li Wei!"
"General Chen, is this true?" Ge Fushun still didn't believe it.
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Ask General Ge, do you know which military strategy the prince likes the most?"
Ge Fushun smiled proudly and said, "I know this. The prince likes "Wei Liaozi" the most."
Chen Wanrong asked again: "How did you know?"
"I don't know a few things about the prince. The prince likes to read "Wei Liaozi", and we all know." Ge Fushun was proud to know Li Longji's preferences.
Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "General Ge, if you ask you to guess, can you guess?"
Ge Fushun shook his head and said with a smile: "General Chen, how can I guess such a thing? Talking and joking!"
Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "Someone guessed that this person is Wang Zhongsi." After saying that when he went to the royal palace that day, Ge Fushun and his friends opened their mouths again, with the words "not believing" written on their faces.
Wang Zhongsi said seriously: "Everything has reason, and thinking according to reason is not difficult at all."
This is too reasonable. Didn’t those wise men do this? But how many people can really do it?
Geshuhan nodded, jumped off his horse, and came to Ge Fushun: "General Ge, Geshuhan will receive the punishment."
Ge Fushun was very embarrassed and looked at Chen Wanrong and said, "General Chen, General Geshu is your person, you should deal with this matter."
Chen Wanrong is very valuable, and as long as his eyes are not a problem, he can see clearly. Isn’t Ge Fushun seeking to deal with Chen Wanrong’s people?
"General Ge, General Geshu is willing to lead the military rules, just follow the military laws!" Chen Wanrong understood Geshuhan, and he was sincerely punished, so he did not stop him.
Ge Fushun still hesitated: "General Chen, General Geshu is your person!"
Chen Wanrong corrected and said, "General Ge doesn't know that General Ge Shu is here to help me train artillery. This is true. However, the Longwu Army is still your commander. If you violate military law here, you will have to deal with it."
Ge Fushun is a general of the Longwu Army. Ge Shuhan violated military law in his military camp, and he should deal with it. Chen Wanrong's words were justified. Ge Fushun thought about it and then said: "Since that's the case, then Ge Fushun will be able to practice military law! Ge Shuhan, you must not call him a child in the army. If you want to call him a name, have you remember?"
"Return to General, Ge Shuhan remembers it!" Ge Shuhan thrust his chest, stood straight, and replied loudly, and could hear it within dozens of feet.
Shenqi is what we modernly call "verbal criticism", a matter of one sentence. Ge Fushun nodded and said, "Ge Shuhan has completed his acceptance of military law! Retreat!"
Geshuhan responded, came to Wang Zhongsi, clasped his fists and said, "Geshuhan made a mistake, please..." The following words were stopped by Wang Zhongsi: "Geshuhan, the army only recognizes the law and cannot apologize."
There is this military law, but it is not very useful and it is not implemented. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongsi was more real at such a young age. Ge Shuhan smiled cheerfully and said, "Wang Zhongsi reminded me, Ge Shuhan remembered it." He turned his head and said to Ge Fushun: "General Ge, can I hug Wang Zhongsi?"
Before Ge Fushun could speak, Wang Zhongsi spoke again: "Everyone in the army will be in charge of his own. Those who are carrying him will be killed or injured!"
Geshuhan likes Wang Zhongsi and wants to get close to him, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhongsi is based on military law in everything. Geshuhan is both angry and funny: "Okay! Wang Zhongsi, you are right! Remember, when you leave the military camp, I will twist your little face!"
Wang Zhongsi's left eye flashed, and he became a little naughty, and he returned to his little adult appearance, which made everyone laugh happily.
Chen Wanrong jumped off the horse and asked, "Wang Zhongsi, who did you do this armor for you? I ordered you just yesterday. Even if the prince wanted to do it for you, it was too late."
There are many procedures for armor, and it is impossible to do a set of armor in one day.
Wang Zhongsi replied seriously: "Go back to General, this is what my father did for me."
Wang Haibin died in battle under the Stone Castle City. His heroic spirit is admirable, and Chen Wanrong can't help but sigh.
Ge Fushun stood at Chen Wanrong and said, "General Chen, the Longwu Army is all gathered here. General Chen, please pick people."
"I'll choose them all?" Chen Wanrong asked.
Ge Fushun nodded and said, "The prince has an order, so General Chen can choose people. Whoever you like will be."
Chen Wanrong was recognized and felt relieved. He said to Geshuhan: "Geshuhan, you start picking people." The military training matter must be handled by Geshuhan, and Chen Wanrong does not intend to intervene.
Geshuhan stood in front of the team, glanced at the Longwu Army with his tiger eyes and shouted: "Dear soldiers: We will form artillery according to the emperor's will! You are the pride of the Tang Dynasty. I am extremely honored to be able to pick people from you!"
The Longwu Army was one of the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty. As the commander of this army, Ge Fushun was extremely happy and his eyes were particularly bright after hearing this.
Ge Shuhan's words turned around: "However, I want to remind you not to think that artillery can fire. In my eyes, artillery must not only be good at shooting artillery well, but also have the courage to not be afraid of death and difficulties!"
"Don't be afraid of death or hardship!" Longwu Army shouted in unison, raising the sky and resting for a long time.
Ge Shuhan nodded and said, "I have no reason to be afraid of a good man in the Tang Dynasty. This is why I am a good man in the Tang Dynasty! Now, let me talk about the conditions for selection. First, I have to raise one hundred kilograms with one hand before I can be selected."
He raised a hundred kilograms with one hand, and his power was amazing. Although the Longwu Army was the elite of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could have such power. The soldiers who were originally hot-eyed could not help but dim their eyes.
Ge Fushun was a little dissatisfied and asked, "General Chen, why is this? He raised a hundred pounds with one hand, and this is a warrior!"
Chen Wanrong couldn't understand why Ge Shuhan made such a request, and smiled and said, "General Ge, this matter has its own reasons."
Wang Zhongsi stood up and said, "General Ge, please think, what should we do if the artillery is not strong, if the artillery is trapped in the mud? Artillery will definitely become the most powerful weapon of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever artillery is needed, it must be the most important place. If the artillery is trapped in the mud or marches in a place where roads are inconvenient, then human strength will be of great use. Otherwise, it may miss the military opportunity!"
"Those who know me are Wang Zhongshen!" Geshuhan exclaimed.
Ge Fushun suddenly realized that it was hard to say anything else. Chen Wanrong understood that he praised Ge Shuhan for his profound concerns.
Geshuhan shouted: "Any warrior who can hold a hundred pounds with one hand, stand up!"
The footsteps sounded, and about two thousand people came out and stood in front. Chen Wanrong saw that these people were tall, with knotty muscles, and seemed to have endless strength all over their bodies. The reason why the Dragon Martial Army was able to become the elite of the Tang Dynasty was not fortunate.
Ge Fushun saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. This is the essence of the Dragon Martial Army! If Chen Wanrong chose it, the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Martial Army would be greatly reduced. If he was willing to give it, Li Longji had strict orders. If he gave it all, the Dragon Martial Army would not be the Dragon Martial Army and would have to be rebuilt.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ge Fushun decided to be unable to bear it: "General Chen, you can't do it so ruthlessly. If you eat meat, you have to leave a bite of soup for me. These people are all elites of the Longwu Army, and you can't pick them all away."
At this time, he couldn't help it. Chen Wanrong held back the funny thing and comforted him, "General Ge, don't worry, this is the first condition. When the assessment is over, I think there will not be too many people left."
Ge Fushun wiped the sweat from his forehead and was still a little worried: "General Chen, it's not that I don't cooperate with you, but these people are really the elite of the Longwu Army. Once you pick them away, the Longwu Army will be dead in name only and have to start over again."
This is the truth. If Chen Wanrong and him change positions, they will deal with it like him. He smiled and said, "General Ge, please be relieved. I will not do that kind of fishing when I am exhausted."
"That's good! That's that!" Ge Fushun felt a little relieved.
Ge Shuhan nodded and said in praise: "Very good! Only with strength can one be worthy of being a good soldier in the Tang Dynasty! The second condition is not difficult for you, but difficult! I will not test your military strategy, nor will I test your martial arts skills, but your memory. I think I can stand up if I can speak the names of thirty people in one breath."
"Remember?" These soldiers couldn't help but wonder, no one stood up. You looked at me, I looked at you, and were at a loss. Finally, a soldier was brave and asked, "General, why should we take the exam for me? We are soldiers, not the top scorer in the study exam."
Geshuhan did not speak, but looked at Wang Zhongsi beside him and smiled and said, "Wang Zhongsi, do you know my intention?"
Wang Zhongsi lit his head without thinking: "I know."
"Tell them!" Geshuhan said loudly.
Wang Zhongsi responded, walked to the front, turned his head, and looked at the soldiers: "I know, you are very surprised, why did General Geshu test you to remember? The artillery was tested at the Longwu Army's schoolyard. You already knew the power of the artillery very well, right?"
"Yes!" the soldiers replied in unison.
Wang Zhongsi did not change anyway, and then said: "Architecture will surely become a weapon of the Tang Dynasty. You are the first batch of artillery soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. In the future, your footprints will spread all over the world! Therefore, wherever you go, you must do one thing well, pay attention to the places you have been, remember the places you have been, remember all the mountains and rivers there, remember where you can ambush, where you can line up, and where you can set up artillery. These must be remembered firmly. It is not certain that it will come in handy one day! If you don't remember someone, can you become an excellent artillery soldier?"
The words make sense, but they don’t make people convinced. A soldier immediately said, “Will you become a general? That’s what the general does!”
Wang Zhongsi hit with his hands and said, "Well said it! Many of you will become artillery generals who stand alone! Now, you are not provoking troops, but choosing generals for the future!"
This group of them mastered artillery. When the artillery expands in the future, they will inevitably serve as backbone and teach the methods and experience of artillery use. Over time, as military merits accumulate, many people will inevitably become generals and will lead an artillery to the battlefield to stand alone.
The truth cannot be explained thoroughly, and the matter cannot be explained clearly. Wang Zhongsi made this clear statement. Everyone suddenly realized it, nodded and convinced, and said together: "The general is very conspiring, and we are convinced!"
Wang Zhongsi retreated, and Ge Fushun secretly sighed that his knowledge was not as good as a boy. There were many people who thought this way, especially those soldiers with resistance, who were even more ashamed.
Chen Wanrong had long seen Wang Zhongsi's strange actions and did not care about them at all.
"If you can say the names of thirty people in one breath, stand up!" Geshuhan ordered loudly.
The soldiers responded and more than 100 people came out at once. What Ge Fushun was most worried about was that Chen Wanrong could pick out these two thousand people. Now only more than 100 people meet the conditions. His heart finally fell to the ground and he let out a sigh of relief in secret.
Geshuhan reminded him: "If you want to be a good artillery, strength and memory are indispensable. Now, I will test you. If someone can't do it, it's still time to withdraw now!"
"Please rest assured, we can do it!" More than one hundred soldiers responded in unison.
Ge Shuhan nodded and said, "First of all, let me test your memory. General Ge, can you use the model of mountains and rivers?" The phrase "Model of mountains and rivers" refers to sand tables. In the Tang Dynasty, military operations not only require maps, but also sand table deductions. Sand table deductions have a long history and were used by people in the Warring States Period.
Ge Fushun reminded him: "General Geshu, there are, there are, but they are from Chang'an. Our Longwu Army is mainly responsible for Chang'an, so there are only Chang'an. They are familiar with these things, and they cannot forget them even if they want to."
Geshuhan smiled and said, "It's okay, lend me a model and I'll do one."
Making sand tables is not that easy, and it takes a lot of effort. Ge Fushun was a little unbelievable: "General Geshu, aren't you joking?"
Geshuhan nodded and said, "In the past, I swam across Longxi and still had some impressions that I should be able to deal with it."
Ge Fushun also wanted to see it: "Please follow me." He brought everyone to his tent and asked someone to push out a sand table. Without saying a word, Ge Shuhan rolled up his sleeves and started a model on the sand table.
His memory is amazing. Although several years have passed, the mountains, rivers and terrain here are still clearly remembered. He can easily use it, and it is all in the shape of mountains and rivers. In less than half an hour, the mountains and rivers of Longxi were ready.
He asked someone to bring the wooden blocks, and Geshuhan wrote the terrain name on it and put it on it.
Ge Fushun was a little disbelief and asked someone to bring a map of Longxi. He compared it and praised it: "General Geshu, it's so heart-to-heart! The big places are not bad at all, and the small places don't even have a map, which is much more detailed. General Geshu, you are just a map of living! In the future, you will save even the map."
It is not a blessing to be a famous general of Geshuhan, but he has his own unique features. Chen Wanrong was not surprised and said with a smile: "If you are not familiar with the terrain, how can you be a general?"
"Call them in!" Ge Shuhan ordered, more than a hundred people came in and stood around the sand table.
Geshuhan stood in front of the sand table and said, "This is the terrain of Longxi, I'll give you a cup of tea and time."
