Zhou Yu saw the Jiangdong Military Academy on the front line acting on its own initiative, but he had no choice.
Commanding on the current battlefield is most likely like running the latest Black Monkey with a CPU configuration from twenty years ago. The operation may still work, but frame drops and freezes are unavoidable.
Zhou Yu's face turned a little blue.
There was nothing wrong with the general direction of his command, but his soldiers did not go up, and he failed to achieve his planned plan.
He should have considered these issues originally, but he was in a hurry, so he failed to perfect certain details. It was these imperfect details that led to the evolution of the battlefield.
Nowadays, the wars of the Han Dynasty are not solved by one-on-one killings by the commanders and generals. What is more important is the fighting between soldiers. It is the flesh and blood between ordinary soldiers who do not even deserve to have names.
The outcome of the battle was ultimately decided.
In fact, the biggest gap between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang is not in intelligence and strategy, but in their attitude towards ordinary soldiers.
Zhuge Liang didn't necessarily know how to be friendly to ordinary soldiers from the beginning, but because the Hussars' overall army-building strategy, training procedures, and logistics support were all biased towards later generations of thinking, which determined that even the natives of the Han Dynasty
Under the military system of hussars, there will be some changes in attitude towards ordinary soldiers.
Equality and freedom did not exist in the Han Dynasty, but the system of hussar supporting poor families and promoting the military gave the middle and lower classes a broader world.
Zhuge Liang did not have any concept of human rights or non-human rights in his heart. He just instinctively chose to form a "good relationship" with these soldiers under the Hussar system. Because Zhuge Liang knew that even if he retreated from the front line,
, go to the local area to treat
Manage people's livelihood and manage government affairs, and you are also very likely to have to deal with retired military inspectors, as well as middle-level and lower-level officers who have been promoted to officials. Therefore, during this period of time in the army, you should take more care of the soldiers to gain a good reputation and gain a good reputation.
What's the downside?
On the contrary, Zhou Yu, as well as the traditional Han generals like Zhou Yu, and a series of generals including Cao Cao, did not have any idea of preferential treatment for ordinary soldiers. Even if they gave preferential treatment, they were afraid of being suspected.
object.
"Invitation to buy people's hearts" is a sin that has existed in China for many years!
But the question is, why does this crime exist for so long?
If the people in the world all turn to the Han and the imperial court, then even if someone comes to "invite buyers", what's the use? If the people have deviated from the imperial court, no matter how many crimes are formulated, careerists can be avoided
The emergence of? Even if you don’t invite people to buy people’s hearts, can you stop people’s hearts from departing?
Zhou Yu couldn't solve this problem, so when he took over some of the soldiers left by Sun Ce, in order to avoid Sun Quan's suspicion, he deliberately sent away these veterans left by Sun Ce during the Battle of Jiangling...
If Zhou Yu had not sent away those soldiers or even gone to fight Jiangling, then maybe the situation would be different now.
Of course, it is also very likely that Sun Quan will doubt Zhou Yu even more, and then refuse to let Zhou Yu have the authority to command the soldiers.
But who knows?
Unless you are a keyboard warrior who has always been blessed with God’s perspective.
It is useless for Zhou Yu to regret now, because the past is gone forever, and once a mistake is made, it can never be made up for.
It's like delayed justice. It doesn't deserve to be called justice at all. It can only be said to be an adjustment for the stability of society. The fairness and justice of a society should be reflected in the respect and care for the people at the bottom of society. It must not only be
In order for the people to live a safe life, they must have a sense of responsibility and dignity. In the Han Dynasty, most rulers would not care about how the people at the bottom are living.
Now, Jiangdong has accumulated many problems in the early stage, and it is not just Zhou Yu who has these problems. In the state of war, these problems have suddenly exploded.
Just as Zhuge Liang said, when Zhou Yu left the advantage of "geographical convenience", he was in a disadvantageous state. The weather, time, and people were no longer relevant to him. Now the Sichuan and Shu Army outflanked the front ships of the Jiangdong Army.
The team is preparing to penetrate Jiangdong Army's defense line and attack him.
Although the opponent's warships are not as numerous as our own, they have begun to gain the upper hand in terms of momentum!
But now it is impossible for Zhou Yu to retreat...
It's not that we can't retreat, but once we retreat, it's almost like admitting the failure of this expedition.
So even if Zhou Yu is still staying in Jiangdong and living well, it means losing most of his right to speak. What's more, he is the commander-in-chief. If he escapes from battle, even if he returns alive, he will be worse off than dead.
Zhou Yu ordered his building ships and affiliated formations to speed up.
He saw the cowardice of the Jiangdong Military Academy ahead and knew the reasons for the unfavorable situation, so Zhou Yu wanted to lead the team himself, use the bravery of his troops to awaken the courage of the Jiangdong Navy, and use the Jiangdong Navy to train combat skills.
Bring back the fighting situation!
Zhou Yu's choice of avoiding reality and striking at weakness is in line with the art of war.
The naval force has always been Jiangdong's strength. If the naval force is defeated by the Sichuan-Shu Army, the psychological blow to Jiangdong will far exceed the damage on the battlefield.
Zhou Yu knew the consequences very well.
Even Zhou Yu can predict that if he loses, then Jiangdong's "surrender faction" will take off directly on the spot, giving them more reasons and excuses.
Zhou Yu's fleet cut in and grasped the opportunity very accurately. He turned first, avoiding the somewhat chaotic Jiangdong front fleet, and then launched a counterattack from the other side of the Sichuan-Shu navy.
…
…
Above the river, the two armies were fighting fiercely, and in the mountains and forests, each showed their strategies and bravery.
The mountains are undulating and the roads are rugged.
Gan Ning is ambushing.
He had no idea why he wanted to ambush here.
Didn't their sneak attack on Jiangdong's army fail? How could Jiangdong's army still come?
It's like both parties know what cards the other party has and are on guard. How can they continue to play cards that the other party already knows?
Gan Ning couldn't understand it, but one good thing about him was that even if he didn't understand it, he would still do it.
Because he believed Zhuge Liang was smarter than him.
Just leave the thinking to Zhuge Liang.
"Will Jiangdong's army come?"
The hussar soldier beside Gan Ning asked.
"I don't know." Gan Ning answered honestly, and would not deliberately say any nonsense to deceive. "Zhuge Zongzhi said he wanted us to ambush, saying that Jiangdong's army might come."
"What did Zhuge Zongzong say? That's right. Jiangdong's army should be coming..."
The soldier shrank his head and retreated, seemingly getting a satisfactory answer.
Gan Ning couldn't help but curl his lips, "You all think what Zhuge Zongzhang said is credible, right? If you say what I said, then you will all question it, right? Immortal Banban."
Gan Ning turned around and began to check the concealment of his soldiers, "You turtles, lower your heads! Over there, go pull some grass leaves to cover your glans, so that it won't be illuminated by the sun..."
』
Gan Ning cursed in a dirty manner.
The hussar soldier was not annoyed when Gan Ning scolded him, he smiled and obeyed the order.
After following Gan Ning for a long time, these hussar soldiers also knew that when Gan Ning cursed, it was not because he had any actual malice, but because it was just a bad habit he had when he was a water thief. Has anyone ever seen him say "please thank you, sorry"
Habitual water thieves?
Gan Ning checked it again, looked up at the top of the cliff, and then waved his arm to signal.
Different from ordinary ambush, Gan Ning and others not only used ordinary swords, guns, bows and arrows, but also specially used gunpowder. At the top of the cliff, there were about ten soldiers who were not only responsible for looking out and guarding, but also responsible for guarding several blocks on the cliff.
rock.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the gunpowder and avoid the previous situation where the effect was caused by just hearing the sound, this time the hussars specially dug a gap under the rock and stuffed the gunpowder grenade into the gap.
According to the craftsmen in the army, the effect will be better this way. This is how they are done in the Qinling Mountains...
The commander above the cliff also noticed Gan Ning and waved in response. Then he turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "The general is checking for an ambush... You guys should also check it. Don't let the stone fall down when the time comes. That would be embarrassing."
What a shame!』
"Don't worry!" The soldier beside the rock didn't even take his eyes off the rock. "I went to the craftsman specifically to ask for advice. There are hundreds of holes drilled out. There must be no problem!"
It is impossible to succeed without hard work and effort.
The soldiers beside the stone still had bandages on their hands.
It was scratched by a stone.
Suddenly, there were several anxious bird calls in the distance, and then some birds were startled.
The upper and lower parts immediately became tense, and everyone knew that this was an abnormal situation.
"Jiang Dongjun is really here!"
…
…
Zhou Tai has always felt very uncomfortable, especially when walking on mountain trails that are not roads.
He would rather be on the boat.
He was a water thief, but ended up climbing mountains!
This is simply...
But Zhou Tai had no choice but to obey the military orders.
Because this is what he chose.
To be honest, there are not many paths that water thieves can choose. There is only one hussar in the world. The reason why most princes choose water thieves or accept the Yellow Turban is not because they think the plight of these people is miserable, but because they think the plight of these people is miserable.
Make these people sacrifice their lives.
Zhou Tai is already working hard, but some people still feel that he is not working hard enough.
Just like the military academies directly under Zhou Yu, although they are not as high in rank as Zhou Tai, when they look at Zhou Tai, they always raise their heads and expose the nose hairs in their nostrils. When they see other dignitaries and superiors, those
The guy is showing the hair on the back of his neck.
Back then, Zhou Tai was poor in the world. Whether he had a good meal or not, and whether he could have a good meal all depended on whether a fat sheep would come to his door.
And now Zhou Tai's food, drink and clothing are indeed much better than when he was a water thief, but...
Moreover, there are a lot of water thieves in Jiangdong. After hearing about Zhou Tai's deeds, they all encourage each other, thinking that they will become the next Zhou Tai, but they don't know that a generation of leaders only needs one water thief.
Jiang Qin was the leader of the previous generation.
Zhou Tai is the current leader...
The wind in the mountains is very cold.
Zhou Tai felt his heart feel cold.
He looked up and looked around, feeling that these strange mountains and rocks seemed to be enemies.
It's not easy for him to say anything. If he talks too much, he will be like a wolf.
But he really felt something was wrong.
Zhou Tai stopped for a moment, then checked the armor on his body and the shield in his hand, and then seemed to feel a little more at ease.
Just a little bit.
Zhou Tai raised his head and looked around.
The mountains are swaying and the rocks are rugged.
Every intersection of light and shadow seems to contain murderous intent.
Zhou Tai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to issue a warning, but in the end, he closed his mouth.
"General? What's wrong?" Zhou Tai's guard asked.
"..." Zhou Tai was silent for a while and shook his head.
He doesn't want to make another so-called "fuss out of a molehill"...
Just when Zhou Tai was looking around, suddenly, he heard someone yelling something, and then arrows fell down like hail in summer!
"Swish, swish, swish..."
"Kill!"
Along with the screams of Jiangdong's soldiers, there was also Gan Ning's loud shout, "Fire the cannon! Hit the motherfucker!"
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the rock at the top of the cliff trembled twice, seeming to reluctantly leave the place it was accustomed to, and fell downwards!
Zhou Tai’s almost instinctive feeling is correct!
But he was right, no one believed him!
Zhou Tai was suspicious for the first time before, but he couldn't find any evidence, so it became his mark. Even when he encountered an ambush by the Hussar, Jiangdong soldiers still felt that it was not Zhou Tai's feeling that was correct, but just a coincidence...
So what can Zhou Tai say?
No one would believe it if I told you.
By the time you saw the danger coming with your own eyes, it was already too late!
Rocks fall from the sky!
In the face of the power of nature, the so-called superiors, generals, generals, and other titles given by humans themselves cannot be exempted from any harm!
In front of the rock, everyone is equal!
The only difference is that the meatloaf is a little bigger or more sparse...
…
…
Zhou Yu succeeded, but he also failed.
He successfully used the technical advantages of his own fleet, the Jiangdong Navy, to tear apart the Sichuan-Sichuan fleet, saving the fate of the front fleet of the Jiangdong Navy from destruction, but at the same time, he himself became the Sichuan-Sichuan Navy The military's key target for attack.
This is an obvious thing.
Whether it was artillery or crossbows in the Sichuan-Shu army, all were pointing in the direction of Zhou Yu. The target was very clear, which was Zhou Yu's building and ship.
It is relatively difficult to turn the artillery because it is at the bow of the ship and is fixed, but the ballista can turn on the shooting platform and make large-angle adjustments.
At this critical moment, Zhou Yu encountered the same embarrassment as Cao Cao.
The consequences are worse than buying.
Zhou Yu raised this issue more than once, but every time after it was mentioned, someone would say that Zhou Yu was "making a mountain out of a molehill."
Is it that serious?
Isn’t it just a trade war?
Who doesn’t understand?
Take advantage first, eat the sugar coating, and then don’t be fooled when the time comes!
Isn't this very simple?
Who wouldn't?
The trade war is not the original creation of the Hussars, nor is it just one family doing it one generation after another. There have been such cases since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
For example, when Guan Zhong killed Lu and Liang, he did not resort to swords and guns but instead engaged in a trade war. On the one hand, Guan Zhong strongly encouraged citizens to wear silk fabrics, and on the other hand, he banned the domestic silk weaving industry. The silk fabrics completely followed Lu and Liang. The country imports. Not only that, Guan Zhong also gave high subsidies to merchants in the two countries, allowing them to encourage domestically produced silk to be sold to Qi. Driven by the high profits, people in the two countries abandoned farming, planted mulberries, raised silkworms and weaved silk. Then he used the money earned from selling silk to buy grain from Qi. When the time was right, Guan Zhong blocked the grain, and the two countries of Lu and Liang were in trouble.
Also, the wool shears used by China on the nomads are very loud.
When the Chinese dynasty in the Central Plains was strong, they would make a lot of money from the surrounding nomads. Just look at how many right-wingers the Han Dynasty had on the borders. Sometimes, in order to force the nomads to submit, these right-wingers would deliberately
Provoke trouble...
The nomads were unable to solve this trade imbalance, nor could they balance the huge trade deficit, so they could only use force and use their fists to break the severe trade oppression and trade blockade. This is how most of the wars between the nomads and the Central Plains dynasties came about.
Therefore, it’s not that the people of Kodong don’t understand these things, and it’s not that they don’t know that the hussar generals use soft knives, but “everyone has bought them, including me, right?”
What is purchased is naturally second-class.
When there is no comparison or high-intensity operations, these ballistas are not bad either.
But when it really comes to such a critical moment, the difference between top and bottom becomes apparent.
Because of the inconsistency of the rulers and the inconsistency of the system, the range and power were slightly different. The sum of these points and that eventually caused the Jiangdong Navy to suffer a great loss in the long-range shooting with the Sichuan-Shu Army's ballistae.
After the crossbow car's long-range shooting suffered, it also affected the performance of the mid- and short-range crossbowmen!
Although the Jiangdong navy in the fleet commanded by Zhou Yu relied on their own skills to gain some advantages in the middle distance, they did so at the cost of human lives...
The advantages of the Sichuan-Shu Army were obtained through equipment, technology, etc., while the advantages of the Jiangdong Army were obtained with the flesh and blood of the soldiers.
Which method is worth it? Maybe different people have different answers.
But now Zhou Yu feels that he is really frustrated when he fights!
Who doesn’t know how to use good equipment?
However, Zhou Yu could only equip his own troops, but he could not replace equipment for all the Jiangdong naval forces!
It’s no problem if Zhou Yu wants to use good stuff in his piece, but don’t even think about other Jiangdong soldiers!
When this matter was mentioned, the wealthy Jiangdong gentry had the same action, shaking their heads, saying they had no money.
What about Sun Quan?
He also had no money. Because Sun Quan not only wanted to support ordinary Jiangdong soldiers, but also paid salaries to these officials!
Thousand stones, eight hundred, six hundred. When looking at a certain person individually, this salary does not seem to be much, but it is quite a lot for the entire Jiangdong!
The key is that Sun Quan can’t refuse to give it!
After all, Sun Quan couldn't give him a serious official position in the court. If he couldn't even give him a higher salary, who would come to Jiangdong? Who would work for him? How could he buy people's hearts and win over the children of the gentry?
In addition, Sun Quan was tricked by the Jiangdong noble clan members and evaded taxes and so on, so he paid special attention to Yang Yi and other people who could count, but at the same time, it also caused Yang Yi and others to get stuck in Zhou Yu's equipment and promotion!
But these small things in the eyes of the Jiangdong nobles can be put off for a while, and if it doesn't work, they can buy some small things to support them first, which eventually led to Zhou Yu's current great grievance and big trouble!
