That is to pick up people's wisdom first and use the method Zhifeng once used.
Isn’t it shameful to imitate your ancestors?
Under Zhi Feng's advice, the Jin State had tormented the Chu State for twenty or thirty years, directly causing the Chu State to lose its ability to expand and fall from its heyday. Only then did it suffer several beatings from the Wu State.
.
Of course, the Yuan Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom have a border, but the bordering area is a bit awkward. It is destined that both sides will not be able to use large-scale troops there, and if they choose that place as the starting point for the invasion, even if the march goes smoothly, they are bound to not be able to gain much.
At present, the Zheng State and the Song State are still alive, which means that there is a third party on the easy marching route.
If the Yuan State and the Chu State wanted to fight to the death, should it be after the fall of the Zheng State?
Before that, the Yuan State could completely lure the Chu army northward again and again to consume the Chu State's national power.
There's just one thing, you can't just play around and become Zhao Wu's model of execution during the Jin Dynasty.
What is the model? When Zhi Feng was in charge of the Jin State, the Chu army was repeatedly lured to the north; when Zhao Wu was in charge of the Jin State, the Jin army was repeatedly seduced by the Chu State to go south.
In fact, it is the Jin State that can effectively utilize more resources, otherwise it is hard to say who will be brought down in the end.
Zhiyao's plan was to first deplete the Chu State's national power, then destroy the Zheng State when the time was right, and control the heart of the Central Plains to eliminate the Chu State again.
Of course, other methods can also be used. No matter which method, it can be said that Zheng Guo is a key to it.
After the sky was completely bright, the two armies went out to camp and formed their formations.
There are more things that need to be done by the Yuan Army. The first thing is to quickly improve the camp!
"So, this battle has been changed and we no longer pursue a quick battle?" Sun Wu asked.
Zhiyao always needed to give an explanation, saying: "The Chu army is marching north in large numbers, and the losses on all sides will be great."
With an army of about 300,000 people, they stay far away from their home country. It is very difficult to supply them. Coupled with the long distance, how low can the transportation cost be?
There are more than 300,000 people going on the expedition, which means that there is a shortage of more than 300,000 labor forces in the country. They are still consuming, and if they want to maintain military supplies, they will definitely need Chu State to allocate additional manpower to form a supply team, which will definitely reduce it further.
The available labor force within Chu State.
Anyone who knows arithmetic can understand such addition and subtraction.
Sorry, Chu State does not have a systematic arithmetic discipline at present, right? It is really possible that the kings and ministers of Chu State did not understand it for a while, and they needed to wait until they found that the national power could not support it before they came to their senses.
Sun Wu was thinking of other aspects and said: "If the Chu army is short of supplies, our army may be able to carry out a total annihilation!"
What does an army fear most? Speaking of which, it must be a lack of food!
Difficulties from the enemy can still rely on willpower to persevere. We are fighting the enemy with all our strength. The supply in the rear cannot be maintained. Not many soldiers are willing to risk their lives against the enemy on an hungry stomach.
Sun Wu asked: "Should we recruit new cavalry from the country?"
There is a Chu army blocking the "Hulao" side. They are making it more difficult for the original army to supply, and they will definitely find ways to disrupt the supply lines of the Wei area later.
The Chu army relied entirely on its superior strength to act recklessly, and it was difficult to even keep secrets.
The original country was at a military disadvantage in the southern battlefield, and it was basically relying on quality to offset the shortcomings of insufficient military strength.
The military units on the Chu side are relatively simple.
The original country is different.
"What the captain said makes sense." Zhiyao had already sent people back to recruit new cavalry units.
In fact, Sun Wu relied entirely on his personal talents and experience, but Zhiyao was different.
There are too many battle cases in history that made Zhiyao understand the importance of interfering with the enemy's food routes. The most recent one in the current era is the Battle of Changping.
In that war to compete for national strength, Bai Qi used 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry in an in-depth attempt to cut off the Zhao army's supply line. If he could not completely solve the problem, he took advantage of the cavalry's flexibility and endlessly harassed the Zhao army's supply line. This was to destroy the Zhao army.
The supply line can also force Zhao's cavalry to be moved to the rear, reducing the threat from Zhao's cavalry on the frontal battlefield.
The original army faced the Chu State without cavalry, which meant that if the Chu State's monarchs wanted to protect their own supply lines, they must withdraw more troops to protect the supply lines.
If they are not in front of the formation, who will be in command of the battle?
Today, the original army is commanded by Zhi Xuwu, and his deputies are Zhikai, Cheng Wu, Zhiying, Zhilin, Yurang, and Ji Qin.
At the same time, it was also today that Zhikai finally got his wish and was able to personally participate in the battle with the enemy. He might also have the opportunity to lead his army into battle.
One thing can be seen from Zhiyao's arrangement, it is clearly a way of bringing in the new with the old.
Although the original country is a new country, many of the middle and high-level people are older. It is necessary to train the new generation as early as possible, so as to avoid the old people withdrawing from the stage of history one by one, creating a situation of lack of employment.
Originally, the situation of the Zhi family would have been better, for example, they had many disciples of Confucius.
However, too many things happened during this period. Only about 30% of Confucius' disciples chose to stay in their original country, and the rest packed up their belongings and left.
Among those who left were Zilu, Zigong, Ziyou, and Zixia. They either returned to their hometowns to continue their studies, or they chose to serve other princes.
It is a pity just for Zilu and Zigong to leave. Otherwise, Zhiyao still hopes that Zilu will continue to shine in the army, Zigong can play a role in domestic affairs, and even Ziyou or Zixia can contribute to the art of the Yuan Kingdom.
Make a contribution.
A long time ago, the Jin State began to follow the line of military fruitism, and everything was aimed at contributing to the military. How could there be any cultural atmosphere?
Therefore, the first cultural desert during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was not the Qin State, but actually the Jin State.
Just speaking, the Jin State has never suppressed commercial development. This is different from the Qin State.
To Zhiyao's great relief, Zaiyu stayed.
The fact that Zaiyu was not welcomed by Confucius was not the shame of his disciples, it was simply that the previous state of Lu and Confucius did not give Zaiyu a stage to display his talents.
Jaeyu, who was extremely eloquent and well-spoken, was highly valued in the original country. He was not only active in various diplomatic arenas, but also shouldered the important task of ideological construction of the original country.
Zhiyao wanted to change the dynasty, but he only relied on force to create Yunei Hunyi, who was reluctant for a while. The line of dissemination of ideas must be established!
Currently, Jaeyu and his staff are active in various parts of the original country. With the cooperation of local officials, they preach the suffering caused by the war and tell the people of the original country that they have the mission to end the war.
Regarding the mission, the people of Jin region have been taught a long time ago, and they basically have a sense of mission to end the war.
The task of Zaiyu and others is relatively detailed. They need to add something new to the original sense of mission of the original people, which is the "Destiny Theory" tinkered by Zhiyao.
To put it more bluntly, the people of the original country have the obligation to bring everyone with the same culture and race to live a happy life, and then shine the light of civilization in the Xia into those wild places.
The stage for Jaeyu and others is not only within the Yuan country, they also need to go to other countries to explain the pain caused by the war to people, and spread the word that no matter whether they are people from the Yuan country, people from the Zheng country, people from the Chu country, people from the Yue country, etc., everyone has the same culture and race.
fact.
How should I put it? Zhiyao seems to be creating a "nation".
There are not many successful examples in history of creating a "nation". The Zhao family did not succeed. Instead, it was the Piggy Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty who did it. Later, the founding king of the Sui Empire strengthened the "Han" nation.
The fact of existence was reshaped again in the Ming Empire.
The above all start from the ideological sense of identity, and are not simply the use of force to create a "nation".
The greatest achievement of using force is to create a tyrannical empire for a while. After a short period of time, it will remain the same, and people who originally lived in the same country will hate each other more than anyone else.
People with the same culture and race have a sense of ideological identity, and even after the country is destroyed, they will still recognize the fact that they are the same nation.
This set of gameplay has been played by the Western Han Dynasty in Zhuxia. It seems that it was only in the 18th century that the Germans in Europe figured it out? Bismarck just used this set of game rules to let Master Juncker do it without much effort.
They became the masters of Germany.
The negative teaching material was in southern Europe, and the Iron Emperor expressed dissatisfaction.
What Zhiyao has to do is walk on both feet!
That was because the Qin Empire had learned from the past and made it clear to Zhiyao that force alone could only bring success for a short period of time. Only by complementing each other's sense of identity can we walk on two legs.
Just take a look at what Zhu Xia looks like after walking on two legs. You will know that an invincible dynasty can often appear in East Asia. Even if there are ups and downs, the cultural inheritance can be passed on endlessly.
Pretending to be the civilization of a country, right?
Zhiyao feels that she can start from herself in advance.
Of course, everything has just begun, and you will definitely face a lot of difficulties and ups and downs at first.
Zhiyao knows that without force as a guarantee, no matter how great your ideals are, they are just castles in the air.
Today, the original army is at a disadvantage due to its military strength.
The so-called passive mainly means that the Chu army makes the first move, and the original army will then send out as many troops as needed to respond.
Without looking at anything else, just judging from the development of the war situation, it is indeed in line with the situation in the early Warring States Period.
The two sides will take actions outside the battlefield, and the various strategies are not visible for the time being.
There is a fact that even in the age of using every possible means, there are really not that many strategies out there. Off-site tactics are more used in all aspects between countries, on the battlefield.
After all, it still relies on hard power.
There really are so many magical tricks, and there will not only be so many battle examples in military history that need to be talked about in detail. It's just that there are too few successful examples, which makes them more worthy of writing about in detail.
"In most wars, how can there be so many tricks?" Zhiyao listened to the battle reports coming back from the front, and felt very interesting about some of her previous thoughts.
For example, since Luo Guanzhong, who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was Zhang Shicheng's military advisor, why was Zhu Yuanzhang the final winner of the battle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?
So, does the fact that Luo Guanzhong was able to write so many strategies mean that he was very thoughtful in strategy? Why did he not play a role in turning back the craze, so that Zhang Shicheng was defeated?
Especially Zhang Shicheng, who initially surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of strength, defeated the weak with the strong and had Luo Guanzhong and Shi Naian as masters and disciples, but Zhang Shicheng still suffered a miserable defeat?
If they had heard what they said, Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong would probably have used their reputation as military advisors to say innocently: "I'm just a writer. I'm just a literary and artistic worker, and I really can't save the building from falling."
"
After reading the part, Zhang Shicheng had great expectations for his master and apprentice: "..."
Zhiyao, who didn't want to get involved unless there was a serious situation, felt that today passed very quickly.
The fighting continued throughout the day. It was not considered a high-intensity battle, and the casualties on both sides were actually not too many.
"How do you feel about today?" Zhiyao specially called Zhikai for some questions and answers.
Zhikai said truthfully: "It's actually different from what children imagined."
What imagination?
People who have not actually participated in the war will have many imaginations about the war, such as blood, glory, etc., but they lack cruelty and boringness.
As a Zhikai, I guess I don’t have too many feelings about cruelty?
Today, Zhi Kai, who personally leads a "division", either moves places frequently, stops or stays in one place for a long time. He should be able to experience the excruciating boredom.
"Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival." Zhiyao was talking about one of the lines in Sun Wu's book on war. There are similar words of warning in his own works.
I don't know if going out in a battle has sapped Zhikai's determination and made him more mature. It is most likely that he is also tired. He really doesn't have the extra activity in the past. After listening to this, he nodded seriously to express his understanding.
Zhiyao asked Zhikai about his feelings about going to the battlefield, and after giving answers or teachings one by one, he said: "This battle may be long-lasting? If you can stand alone, being a father does not mean that you can't lead the army and take charge of it alone.
"
Once the war lasts for a long time, it will inevitably expand from the battlefield where the current main force gathers to the surrounding areas, and then create multiple local battlefields in a large area. This is different from other wars, which usually start with multiple local battlefields.
The competition is carried out, and eventually a main battlefield emerges where the main forces are facing each other tit for tat.
Zhikai immediately showed a happy expression and said: "I will not disappoint my father!"
Zhiyao said: "Go down."
People always need more experiences to become more mature.
In the past, Zhiyao was busy with other things, and most of the education given to Zhikai focused on cultural classes, without cultivating people's worldly feelings, etc. It was actually difficult to accompany him all the time to answer questions and resolve doubts.
"Every generation of princes with the surname Zhao Ying will go through hardships, either being exiled or being held hostage in other countries, so they have successive generations of wise princes. Do I want to follow suit?" Zhiyao thought about this more than once.
The problem is, Zhi Yao feels that she has done so much, and the current situation in the world can also use force to achieve the conditions for Yu Nei Hunyi. It seems that it does not take several generations to unify?
"Perhaps we can learn from the pattern after Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty." This was not the first time Zhiyao copied homework from the Western Han Dynasty, and felt that she needed to think carefully about this matter.
Without paying attention to successors, how tragic would it be if the first generation created an empire and the second generation perished?
