Nowadays, elite soldiers from all walks of life of the Han Army will take turns coming to the training center in the western suburbs of Xiangyang to conduct training and exercises on various formations and combat skills. Infantry-cavalry coordination and infantry-crossbow coordination have reached a certain level. However, almost All the main generals have not received systematic training. They still rely on their own martial arts, courage and experience to fight.
It’s not about having many soldiers but about being skilled, and it’s not about bravery but about strategy that matters in generals. Although Liu Xin himself is not good at leading troops in battle, he still knows this truth, so he repeatedly emphasizes that the general should not go to the front line lightly, but should dispatch and command from the center, with the help of The elite soldiers will win the battle. However, these generals under him obviously do not accept this method. They prefer to rush in front alone and show off their martial arts. To make them change their fighting style, in addition to strengthening their education, there are other ways to establish Military academies are imperative.
Liu Xin did not understand military affairs, and he did not have ready-made military textbooks. Besides, even if he had studied military affairs in the past, he would not be able to use the theories of the hot weapons era to direct war in the cold weapons era. Therefore, Liu Xin wanted to establish It's not a military academy, but a martial arts hall, which is where all the important generals under your command are gathered together to conduct combat discussions and "talk about war on paper."
This idea only flashed in Liu Xin's mind, and he silently made a decision. Liu Xin stepped forward, personally untied the ropes tied to Guan Yu, and asked with a smile: "Yun Chang, do you feel wronged in your heart?" ?”
Guan Yu moved his somewhat numb arms, cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. I will not obey my lord's orders, and I will deserve what I get." [
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Yun Chang, I know you are not really convinced. In fact, you are not the only one who disobeys my general's orders. Which one of them, Yide and Ziyi, is willing to obey my general's orders?"
Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci were both shocked and hurriedly stood up and said: "Please punish me, brother (lord)!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "You guys all know that the law does not punish everyone, so I will not punish you this time. However, you can compare the results of Guan Yu and Gao Shun against Ji Ling, and then you will know my It’s intentional.”
In this war against Yuan Shu, almost all the generals violated Liu Xin's orders to varying degrees. The only one who did not violate the orders was Gao Shun. And Gao Shun did not consciously abide by the order of the general not to rush to the front, but he Having the secret mission of supervising Guan Yu, of course he cannot do the same thing as Guan Yu. However, this time Gao Shun and Guan Yu fought against both Ji Ling, and their different fighting methods are still very comparable.
Gao Shun took out a battle report and read it in public: "On a certain day of a certain month, Guan Yu's 10,000 men and Ji Ling's 50,000 men fought ten miles east of Shouchun City. In this battle, General Guan's troops totaled Yuan's army killed, wounded, and captured 13,212 people, and our army suffered 2,312 casualties, including 1,017 killed in action."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the house was in an uproar. Since ancient times, it has been said to kill a thousand and lose eight hundred, but the battle loss ratio between Guan Yu and Ji Ling actually reached 1 to 5. This battle was enjoyable! Everyone looked at Guan Yu's His eyes couldn't help but admire him, and Guan Yu himself couldn't help but raise his head, still looking proud.
Gao Shun looked around and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His voice became much softer and he continued to read: "On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the last general led his 10,000 troops to fight against Ji Ling's 50,000 troops at Shou. Twenty miles west of Chuncheng, 15,486 Yuan's troops were killed, wounded, and captured. Our troops suffered 727 casualties, including 412 killed. On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month , the last general will lead his troops..."
There was a sudden roar in the whole hall. Gao Shun's battle loss ratio in these battles was even more astonishing. Especially in the last two battles, it was almost 1:50. It was incredible. Everyone looked at him with suspicion. Even Gao Shun himself didn't quite believe it and couldn't stop reading the battle report.
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Everyone, General Gao did not lie about the military situation. These battle reports were compiled by Liu himself. Although there are factors in this that Yuan Jun has lost consecutive battles and has low morale, Liu thinks that in the end, The main factor is that General Gao made full use of the characteristics of our soldiers who are well-trained, well-coordinated and well-equipped, and maximized their combat effectiveness to achieve such results!"
Zhang Liao stood up and said: "My lord, I will never doubt the authenticity of these battle reports, but there is one thing that I am very puzzled about."
Regardless of whether the soldiers led by Guan Yu or the soldiers led by Gao Shun, they were actually soldiers of the Fifth Army. As the commander of the Fourth Army, Zhang Liao could not be ignorant of the casualties of his own army. The data sentence in the battle report that Gao Shun just read was The sentence is true.
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Wen Yuan, just say it."
Zhang Liao cupped his hands towards Liu Xin and said: "My lord, there is something unknown about the general. Everyone here has seen Yunchang's martial arts. With Yunchang charging forward, there is no way he can withstand hundreds of elite soldiers. Well, why are the casualties so high?"
Liu Xin praised: "Wen Yuan's question is a good one! In the same army, with the addition of a Yun Chang, the results have declined. Do you know why?"
Everyone shook their heads in confusion. After Guan Yu knew the gap between his own results and Gao Shun, he also put away his arrogance.
Liu Xin wanted this effect, and he said calmly: "I don't know either."
"Ah!", the hall exclaimed, and the voice was full of regret. Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting to hear Liu Xin make a speech, but they didn't expect such a result, so how could they not feel disappointed?
Liu Xin had already continued: "It doesn't matter if we don't know, we can use our brains. So, after seeing the statistics of this battle report, I also thought about it. The reason is that Yun Chang rushed in front and disrupted the flow of soldiers. Due to the cooperation between them, a gap appeared in the originally monolithic formation. Of course, I am not sure whether this is the reason. You can also use your own brains to see where the problem lies."
Silence fell in the hall, and everyone lowered their heads and thought carefully. Suddenly, Guan Yu cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to my lord, I will think of a possibility. When I was fighting fiercely with Ji Ling that day, the soldiers were worried that I would make a mistake. They all surrounded the general, but as a result, the original formation could not be deployed, and instead suffered heavy casualties in the battle. Speaking of which, it was the general who harmed them."[
Xu Huang also stood up and said: "To inform my lord, I think there is another reason. The general rushes to the front and easily loses control of the overall situation, and is unable to adjust his troops and tactics in time according to changes in the battlefield."
Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others also stood up and spoke one after another.
Liu Xin nodded and said with a smile: "The reasons mentioned by everyone may or may not be the case. However, as long as everyone uses their brains more, they can always find the best way to fight."
Seeing that everyone looked enlightened, Liu Xin continued: "Generals, Liu plans to set up a martial arts hall. At that time, he will invite all generals to take turns to go to the martial arts hall for further training and explore various tactics. .Do you have any questions?”
All the generals stood up together and said: "General, I will listen to my lord's orders!"
Liu Xin raised her hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, nodded and said: "Since everyone has no problem, Liu will start to order. Guan Yu!"
As soon as Guan Yu's butt landed on the chair, he jumped up again and loudly responded: "The general is here!"
"Zhang Fei!"
"Just follow my brother's orders!"
…
As Liu Xin clicked the names one by one, Zhang He, Zhang Ren, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Yan Yan, and Taishi Ci all stood up one after another. The first high-level training class of Dahan Lecture Hall composed of these eight people was established. Already.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "I will give you one day tomorrow to hand over the military affairs in hand to the generals in the legion. Return to Xiangyang the day after tomorrow and ask Mr. Yuan Hao to arrange a place for you to officially start the class."
This arrangement was equivalent to taking away the main generals of the second, third, and fourth legions, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, if the general and others leave the defense area, what will happen if Cao Cao makes any changes?"
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. If he doesn't transfer you all, how can he safely fight against Yuan Shao? Just feel free to let me study the new tactics in Xiangyang and try your best to use them." Our army is well-trained, well-equipped and well-disciplined."
At this point, Liu Xin's face darkened, and she continued: "These soldiers are the future of our Han Dynasty. Liu is so young and so young that they die on the battlefield. Liu Xin can't bear it! Remember, you must give me peace of mind to study the tactics. , I hope that after half a year of training, your military literacy will make a big leap and you will become a famous general of my generation!"
After saying these words, even Zhang Fei, who had a rough personality, was moved by it. Everyone said loudly: "The final general will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"
Suddenly, a man jumped out and shouted: "My lord, you are acting unfairly. Why don't you let the general participate in this training class? The general will not accept it!"
Liu Xin looked up and saw that the person was Gan Ning. She couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Xingba, do you also want to participate in the training class?"
Gan Ning said seriously: "Yes, the last general also wants to become a famous general!"
Liu Xin put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "What a Gan Xingba, you are so ambitious! However, if you want to become a famous general, you do not necessarily have to attend a training class. I have a more important thing for you to do. I just want to see if you dare Don’t dare to answer?”
Gan Ning patted his chest and said: "I will be rewarded for being favored by my lord. As long as my lord takes over, I will go into fire and water, and I will never frown!" [
Liu Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Xingba, I know that you have been in the Yangtze River for many years and have few opponents, but I don't know if you can go to the sea to the east?"
"Ah!" Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Does the Lord want to go to sea to find immortals?"
