After spring comes summer. If you pay a little attention, you can notice the luxuriance of vegetation and the gradual change of colors. You can even see people on the street changing the color of fabrics according to the seasons. The most obvious thing is to add or remove clothes.
In mid-June, in accordance with the order of the General Zhengdong Mansion, garrison soldiers from various places began to partially gather for drills, and county and county officials mobilized soldiers from various sources. In the southern border area with the Kingdom of Wu, the number of rangers increased.
Qin Liang was also ready for battle. After just a few months of drills, Sun Lijun's weaponry and tactical training had made some achievements.
In Qin Liang's opinion, the training intensity is not high, and it is not as good as the one-month military training camp in the military camp when he entered college. It is nothing more than going out for half a day every other day, and sometimes accumulating the rest every five days.
, the soldiers of each team will also take turns to rest.
Fortunately, there are not many new training items and the content is simple. The additional weapons created by the organization are even simpler, they are just spears and do not take much time.
The key is that these Chinese, foreign and private army officers are not new soldiers. They already have military rules, formations, formations, organizations, and laws. Moreover, Wei has been in constant war all year round, and the officers and soldiers also have relatively rich combat experience. Qin Liang gave a brief explanation.
They added some queue tactics drills and the results were quick.
On the contrary, due to Qin Liang's official position and other reasons, the time cost of communication was relatively high, and it took some effort. Later, we solved it one by one. After many bumps and bumps, we finally completed the original training plan.
As time passed day by day, from July to August, there was no continuous heavy rain in autumn. Qin Liang couldn't help but go out of the city again and asked the local soldiers and civilians. People still said that it rains every autumn and the river water surges.
.However, this year is a bit abnormal.
Meteorology can indeed only sum up some rules based on experience, but they are all probabilities, not laws. Until later generations use modern means to conduct actuarial predictions, it will still be a matter of probability. And from a large-scale perspective, climate changes are greater. In the past, there were still
The elephant, hence the name Yuzhou, is long gone now.
In short, although it rained frequently this autumn, there were no continuous heavy rains.
After Qin Liang left Shouchun City, he rode along Feishui (East Fei River), Old Canal, and Shi Shui (Nan Fei River) to Chao Lake and observed along the way. The water level of the river did increase, and the water level of Chao Lake changed most obviously.
However, the abandoned canal connecting Fertilizer Water and Shishui is not navigable, and the water levels of each river have not reached expectations. Especially Shishui, the flow length is very short, originating near New Hefei City and ending at Chao Lake; the local rainfall has decreased, and Shishui has
It is difficult for the water level to rise, and it is less affected by rainfall in a wider area.
Qin Liang's mood is still anxious, mainly because autumn has not passed yet, and he is still waiting with hope.
Only by expecting can you become anxious. If you know that something like that will never come and have no hope at all, how can you become anxious because of the fear of disappointment?
He knew that this mentality of anticipating war was wrong. After all, it was a tragedy of fratricide. However, if this war was bound to happen and no one could avoid it, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to arrive as soon as possible?
Until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the climate conditions remained unchanged.
The governor's office began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival as usual. The Mid-Autumn Festival at this time was slightly different from that of later generations. Officials often did some symbolic things, which was to prepare a batch of rough cakes and go to the countryside to distribute them to the elderly.
Theme, not reunion.
Qin Liang traveled with Sun Li and other officials. After returning to Shouchun City, there was a simple banquet.
Everyone was chatting and laughing at the banquet, and some people were making fun of Qin Liang, which meant that Qin Liang had plausibly said at the beginning of the year that Wu soldiers would come this autumn, but now that he looked at it, he didn't even see a hair on the soldiers.
On the contrary, Sun Li, who believed Qin Liang's strategy, perhaps because he was very responsible in organizing military affairs, Sun Li personally came forward to speak for Qin Liang.
Sun Li said: "Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that an army has no momentum and no permanent form. We people in the world cannot call it a god, and it is normal for us to make inaccurate predictions. It is not a bad thing to prepare the border in autumn to prepare for no danger. It is actually our fault.
It’s your job.”
When everyone heard this, they let Qin Liang go and said no more.
But Qin Liang thought for a while and still felt that Wu Bing would come. It was just because the weather this autumn was abnormal, which was not conducive to the naval operations that Wu was good at. In addition, Wei Jun was easy to prepare in this season, so it was difficult for Wu Bing to carry out the war.
The suddenness and the combination of many unfavorable factors caused Wu State to suspend the advance of its offensive plan.
However, Sun Li had already said what he said. If Qin Liang continued to argue at this time, it would be a bit disrespectful to Sun Li. So Qin Liang did not say anything and would talk about it later when he had the opportunity.
The banquet ended early, the sky had been overcast all day, and a light rain began to fall.
It was originally a time when the sun had not yet set, but the light became very dark and unclear. Qin Liang returned to the residence in the governor's mansion, moved the draft of the strategy he had written before, and went to a nearby attic.
Perhaps due to the influence of Taoism, people in the world want to be close to the sky. At this time, in addition to those low and simple private houses, mansions in mansions, temples, etc. all like to build attics. The second to fourth floors are the most common. From the second floor upwards, there are often windows on all sides to let in the best light.
good.
By the light in front of the window, Qin Liang read the slips he had written again. Most of what was left in his hands were drafts, with sloppy handwriting and many corrections, but because he wrote it himself, there was nothing wrong with re-reading the contents.
question.
After looking at it for a while, Qin Liang remembered that there was still some content, so he called his assistant and sent a message to Wang Kang to bring the bamboo slips from the bedroom.
The dense but not sharp drizzle, the cloudy sky, all this makes people feel depressed. Thinking of many people's doubts, Qin Liang cannot be completely unaffected. Or it is because he has no actual combat experience, and rigorous theory does not seem to be
You cannot allow yourself to be completely convinced. Instinctively, people probably trust things they have experienced more. If they have had the same experience many times, it is easier to become stubborn.
"Qin Jun, things have been moved here." Wang Kang's voice said.
Qin Liang looked back and saw that he was carrying a coarse cloth bag, so he said, "Bring it here."
At this time, the light became darker, and Qin Liang did not look at the slip immediately. He sat for a moment, and Wang Kang's voice brought him back to his senses again.
Wang Kang's voice said: "Servant, go get the lamp."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "Go and get the lamp. I'll close the window."
He got up from the wooden desk and closed the wooden windows on three sides. When the south window was left, he continued to look at the distant scenery for a while.
The drizzle and mist made it difficult to see far, and only the shadow of the tower in the distance was faintly visible. What's more, even on a sunny day, what can you see with the naked eye alone?
With a "crunch", Qin Liang closed the window directly, but he still stood there. His hands were still on the wooden window, his forehead leaned against his hands, and he buried his head in thought for a while.
This time he was very stubborn, and he still felt that his judgment was correct. Based on various factors, it was speculated that Wu soldiers would definitely come! However, Wu soldiers relied heavily on the advantage of the navy and delayed the time, but it should not be delayed as long as a few years.
