When Liu Ming heard Guan Ning's report, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Ahem! Although the villagers united and defeated Gongsun Du's men, after all, this war still happened within our territory. This is very important to the people in our territory.
There will still be some damage to the people and production."
Guan Ning was in awe and said with admiration: "My lord is compassionate and cares about the welfare of the people. This is really admirable. But this war was started by the traitor Gongsun Du. There is nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, in this war, we
The casualties of the people of Youzhou were not large. Moreover, when Gongsun Du once again divided his army of 100,000 troops and came to attack the villagers of Youzhou, the target of Gongsun Du's 100,000 soldiers and horses was very huge. And his 100,000 soldiers were not
Ma Jun. When he was far away from us Youzhou villagers, he would be discovered by the people in our villages. Those villagers didn't even leave a grain of food for Gongsun Du. They all ran into our Xinglong, Yutian.
, Pinggu three cities. And the defenders of these three cities, with the help of these people, relied on the incomparable solidity of our Youzhou city and the sophisticated equipment of our city defense. Gongsundu's one hundred thousand army, they could just use these few
There was nothing the city could do. In the end, Gongsun Du's 100,000-strong army had no choice but to retreat due to depletion of military supplies and fear of advancing further. Xinglong, Yutian, Pinggu and other cities sent troops to cut off the food route.
Jixian. Strengthen the siege of our Jixian County. In this way, we were able to control the losses in Youbeiping County. And Mr. Yang and the others were trapped in Jixian City. They are safe and sound so far. On the contrary, they have consumed a lot of Gongsundu's troops. But we and others
Before the lord came back, we were unable to support Lao Yang because of the lack of people to lead the troops. Now that the lord is back, we can definitely put an end to these clowns like Gongsun Du in one fell swoop."
Liu Ming smiled bitterly. He thought to himself: Where is this? I just feel sorry for the loss of my property, so how can I feel compassion for others. Moreover, it seems that Guan Ning and the others really don't know much about military affairs. Put the two together
The issue of the battle between the two armies was too simple. Liu Ming had nothing to say, so he shook his head and asked Guan Ning: "As for You'an and Wuhuan, except for Nanlou and the others in Shanggu, they rebelled.
Is there anything unusual happening among the Wuhuan clans?"
Guan Ning happily reported to Liu Ming and said: "My lord, there is no change among the Wuhuan people in other places. This is thanks to the contribution of Yan Rou, a regular official under his subordinates. Yan Rou has grown up among the Wuhuan people since childhood.
Da. He always had the trust of the Wuhuan tribe. This time there was a rebellion in Nanlou in Shanggu, and Yan Rou was running alone among the Wuhuan tribes. Thanks to the lord's benevolence and righteousness, the Wuhuan tribes were stabilized.
"
When Liu Ming heard this, he was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Is this person here now? I would like to meet him."
Guan Ning shook his head and said: "My lord, Yan Rou is still living and wandering among the Wuhuan clans. He is always observing the Wuhuan and others' movements."
Liu Ming felt a pity. What a talent. Unfortunately, he couldn't see it this time. He had to wait until later.
At this time, one of his subordinates came to report: "Your Majesty, I have received a letter from Feiying from Tianma City." Immediately, the captain handed over the secret letter.
Liu Ming took the letter and looked at it, and he was very happy. He laughed out loud.
Guan Ning and Guo Jia asked at that time: "Why is my lord so happy?"
Liu Ming said: "Look, the rebellion in Wuhuan Nanlou has been put down. Now Zhang Yan and others have come to support us with 120,000 cavalry."
Guo Jia and Guan Ning congratulated Liu Ming at the same time. Guo Jia even said: "My lord, now we can order the Wuhuan tribes who are waiting to follow the covenant and send out troops."
Liu Ming nodded and said: "That's right. You An, let Yan Rou, the person you ordered, take charge of this matter. Let Yan Rou inform the Wuhuan tribes that Nanlou, who rebelled in Shanggu, has been annihilated by us. Let Yan Rou
In compliance with the covenant, these Wuhuan tribes sent troops to Bailang Mountain to cut off Gongsun Du's retreat to Liaodong and harass Gongsun Zan's Liaoxi County. However, these Wuhuan tribes were not allowed to plunder the local people. I will repay them afterwards.
.If they dare to disobey, Nanlou will be their fate. Of course, if these Wuhuan tribes can steal things from Gongsun Du or Gongsun Zan, then these things will belong to them."
Guan Ning nodded and took note of it.
Liu Ming then said to Guan Ning: "By the way, You'an, please make proper arrangements for the people my second brother Guan Yu escorted from Luoyang, as well as the people of Wuhuan in Shanggu."
Guan Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord. My subordinates will keep it safe."
Liu Ming also smiled contentedly. He said to himself: It's true for him too. Is it necessary to specifically ask Guan Ning and the others to resettle the population? Although these trivial matters give him and even Guo Jia a huge headache, but for Guan Ning and the others,
Say, it's as easy as drinking water. This is what they are good at.
At the moment, Liu Ming asked Guan Ning and others to handle the matter. He left Guo Jia alone to discuss how to rescue the siege of Jixian.
Guo Jia suggested: "My lord, soldiers are valuable and quick, so we can't wait for Zhang Yan and the others. We must support Jixian immediately. Moreover, the art of war has this saying: Ten are to encircle an enemy, five are to attack, if doubled, they are divided, and the enemy can be defeated.
If you fight, you can escape if you don't fight, if you don't fight, you can avoid it. Therefore, a small enemy is strong, and a big enemy can be captured. The troops we have available now are only 30,000 cavalry. And Gongsun Du, even if
The casualties were heavy. There should be more than 300,000 troops and horses. Now we can say that we are using less to gain more troops. Of course, we must disperse their troops and horses. We can send three generals, General Zilong and General Wenyuan, to order them each.
Lead 3,000 assault cavalry to harass Gongsundu and their camp in turn, making them unable to live in peace. If they send large troops to pursue them, we will lead them to Duanhun Ridge in Pinggu Mountain. We will set up an ambush here. When they come, we will
Seal the two ends of Duanhun Ridge and shoot them with random arrows. The pursuers will have no place to escape."
Liu Ming nodded and said: "Fengxiao's strategy is good. But my third brother is a man with a bad temper. Can he pull off this plan to attract the enemy? Moreover, Wen Yuan has recently surrendered. It is appropriate for us to put such emphasis on him."
?”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, although the three generals have bad tempers, they are both coarse and fine. They have the demeanor of a general. And General Wenyuan, judging from Jia's contacts in the past few days, is a loyal man.
Bloody men, trustworthy, and capable of taking charge on their own. Moreover, each of them can only lead three thousand troops, so even if something goes wrong, with the speed of the assault cavalry, it won't be a problem to escape."
When Liu Ming listened to Guo Jia's description of Wen Yuan, he recalled Wen Yuan's demeanor when he surrendered to him, and felt that what Guo Jia said was true. He could let Wen Yuan take on this important task. At the same time, Liu Ming also thought: In fact, that Lu Bu is here
In terms of loyalty, there should be no problem. If nothing else, just based on the requirements Lu Bu made to himself when he surrendered, are they as virtuous as some modern high-level candidates? As long as you are the strongest, you can give
Lu Bu's treatment is the highest. Then Lu Bu must definitely be able to serve him and be loyal to him. However, now that his territory has been invaded by others, he doesn't have as many soldiers and horses as Gongsundu. It is better to let Lu Bu be under his control first.
, stay a few more days.
So, Liu Ming waited for Guo Jia to finish and immediately agreed to Guo Jia's arrangement.
Then Guo Jia also raised his own question: "My lord, there is nothing to worry about Gongsun Du now. Even then, what will happen on the battlefield? We can also adapt to the situation and expel them from Youzhou. But it's young."
It's a pity to disperse the 100,000 recruits they recently recruited. The remaining ones lack training and are of little use. Moreover, the Lord leads the troops. He always pays attention to the education of soldiers, but now we don't have that many grassroots school captains.
It is really a headache to command these new soldiers and there are no spare generals to train these new soldiers."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Liu Ming also had a headache. The generals he has now are either too many or too few. But if they are just a few points, they are really not enough. Especially the lieutenants he has now.
Too little. Liu Ming couldn't help but miss the modern military academy. He couldn't help blurting out: "Ahem! What a pity! If we had a military academy here now, we wouldn't have to worry."
Guo Jia asked strangely: "Lord, what is a military academy?"
Liu Ming saw that he had said the wrong thing again. But Guo Jia was not an outsider, so he explained to Guo Jia casually: "Fengxiao. Is this the military academy? Yes. By the way, this military academy is just like our ordinary private school or military academy."
It’s the same as Taixuan College, except that private schools and Taixuan College teach the Four Books and Five Classics. But this military school teaches tactics for marching and fighting.”
Guo Jia said in surprise: "My lord, the knowledge of military tactics and strategy is the most important thing. It endangers the common people and harms the common people. Every family and faction cherishes it. How can we spread it lightly? If this is a misinformation, we will
Wouldn’t it be a heinous sin?”
Liu Ming said dumbfounded: "Following filial piety is not so serious. First of all, the military academy is under our control. The objects of education are not the common people, but lieutenants in our army. There is naturally no problem with this loyalty. You see
Aren't those sects that Jiang Fang established very good? Secondly, the knowledge imparted by this military academy is also imparted in different levels. An ordinary military commander only needs a few days of basic training and combat knowledge.
Okay. In this way, there will be no misinformation about bandits. And if some captains have outstanding talents during training, we can also give them more opportunities to perform. This can not only cultivate talents, but also
It will bury talents. It can also give these soldiers a sense of belonging and a goal to strive for."
Although Guo Jia felt that what Liu Ming said was reasonable, Guo Jia still thought of a question and said: "My lord, although what you just said is right, this can indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our army. But our clan has always respected teachers.
If these lieutenants are all trained by military academies, and the lieutenants trained by these military academies enter our army and control our troops, wouldn't that be the strength of the teachers of a great military academy? If the military academies are too big in the future, wouldn't it be a disservice to the lord?
Will the country and the country be damaged for future generations?"
Liu Ming was shocked at the time. He didn't expect Guo Jia's foresight to be so strong. Didn't a famous military academy principal in modern history become a generation president? However, these are not unpreventable. At the moment, Liu Ming is worried about
Guo Jia said: "Fengxiao, you are very worried. But I can be the nominal principal of the military academy." Liu Ming frowned when he saw Guo Jia. Without waiting for Guo Jia to ask, he quickly explained: "
In other words, I will be the one to bear this reputation, but in fact it will be taught by some other generals. Moreover, these generals who teach the art of war are not fixed. Some people can be changed every time. In this way, there will be no ones that Fengxiao is worried about.
There is a problem."
Guo Jia revealed everything and said excitedly: "This is just like the classes taught by You An Gong and others. There are direct disciples and named disciples, but they are all students of You An Gong and others. As the nominal principal, the Lord can let
All the lieutenants who came out of the military academy are more loyal to the lord. Moreover, we can also ask Jiang Fang and the others to set up the political department in the military academy. In this way, we can better control the military academy. And this military knowledge,
If it is passed down through the school, it can be spread throughout the ages. Your lord is indeed a sage."
Liu Ming was a little embarrassed when Guo Jia said this. However, Liu Ming still thought from what Guo Jia mentioned that it could be spread for thousands of generations. His Baiyi Sect is now under the cooperation of Ma Jun and Jiang Fang.
Next, it was very impressive. But now I am not afraid that those things will be leaked. On the contrary, I am worried that these things will be lost. Now I have Hua Tuo’s medical school, Chiang Kai-shek’s Political Department and Youth Education Department, and now I am about to have a military school.
Should we also set up a technical school? So that we can pass on that knowledge. Moreover, most of the things Ma Jun and the others make now are based on whimsical ideas or their own reminders. I should also ask Ma Jun and the others to do theoretical research.
Book biography.
At that moment, Liu Ming told Guo Jia his thoughts. Guo Jia was noncommittal. He smiled and said to Liu Ming: "My lord, this is a trivial matter. We can do it at any time as long as the world is in peace."
.Anyway, our Youzhou Shuwan can print thousands of books a day. If we let Ma Jun write a book and write a biography, his reputation will be passed down for thousands of years. Then Ma Jun will not be able to express his gratitude to the lord."
When Liu Ming heard this, he knew that Guo Jia didn't take this matter to heart. However, he didn't blame Guo Jia. This was a common problem among people in this era. They both used the things made by Ma Jun and others, but also thought they were strange things.
It is not surprising that Guo Jia has such a view, but he still needs to change it. It seems that these things can only be solved after he has solved the problem of Jixian.
After rescuing Jiang Fang and others, they handed it over to Jiang Fang and Ma Jun to handle it.
The plan was decided. Liu Ming beat the drums and gathered the generals. He commanded 30,000 cavalry to break the siege of Jixian. He kept the 100,000 new soldiers recruited by Guan Ning and waited for Guan Yu to arrive. Guan Yu would train these new soldiers. At the same time,
, Liu Ming told Guan Ning that if Zhang Yan's troops arrived, he would ask Zhang Yan to go to Youbeiping County to join him.
