To be honest, Wang Xuance may have some shortcomings in the overall situation, but his sensitivity to war is extraordinary.
If Tubo and Xue Rengui fought, even if Xue Rengui suffered a loss, Wang Xuance would not regard Tubo as a threat.
At most, he treated Tubo as a barbarian with little knowledge, turned around and shouted for reinforcements, and then asked the court to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
After all, after the West Sea, the Hehuang Valley is the place where Empress Changsun recovered from illness, the Tang Dynasty would never give up this land!
But the reality is that Tubo has retreated without doing anything, as if he was really scared by the Jingguan created by Xue Rengui.
This made Wang Xuance more vigilant, because he had dealt with the alien races around him more and found that the alien race was afraid of power but not despised. If you don’t really fight him, it is difficult to rely solely on intimidation and intimidate the alien races.
.
Or, if you don’t really fight, and the opponent has heartache, then no alien will be truly convinced.
At this moment, the other party retreated, which only means that there is a wise man in the other party and knows that war should not be launched at this time.
But even wise men cannot change the overall habits of the nation. They will only launch an attack on the Tang Dynasty after they are ready.
Wang Xuance sorted out his judgment and sent it to Du Chuke in the Hehuang Valley.
Using this as a reason, we asked the Hehuang Valley for sufficient material reserves to prepare for possible future wars.
Wang Xuance decided to build warehouses in Xihai County, train soldiers, and rectify military equipment. Even Wang Xuance had to use all the aliens living in Xihai.
The same thing is said, what can the three thousand academic soldiers do on such a vast and boundless Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? Nothing can be done!
But if there were 30,000 cannon fodders, then if Tubo really dared to come, he would dare to face Tubo head-on.
At the same time, Li Jing was originally sent here to explain to Xue Rengui what legion talent is and how to develop legion talent. There are even some military books about basic military formations. Wang Xuance picked it up and flipped it.
Wang Xuance read the military books sent by Li Jing. After reading them all, he couldn't help but think about them, and felt that they were still very inspiring.
"The command and dispatch seem not very difficult. Find some foreign servants to try it, at least let them understand the military orders and flags of the Tang Dynasty.
The basis of the talent of the War Department is that it is not difficult to manifest the will of the unity of the will. As long as you win one or two games, you should be able to raise it up. If you continue to win, you may also directly get the second talent or even the military soul.
However, the military formation can directly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army at a higher level, which feels worth learning, and this is what I need to pay attention to.
Unfortunately, you can't use alien experiments normally, forget it... If you are a servant soldier, you don't need to think too much. It's enough to be able to follow the Xuefu soldiers. Finding a cone array for those aliens to only follow, should be enough.
Usually, I use cattle and horses raised from animal husbandry to practice military formations. When I really want to use foreign servants, I will win a few more times on the battlefield and I should be able to master the cone military formation.
In this case, the alien servants may easily have the talent of the War Department, so they can change the basic structure of the talent.
The best point of Xuefu Soldiers is also the willpower and organizational ability, so let’s start from this perspective.
Let them attach their will to the soldiers of the school and dismantle their organizational efforts, and they need to work together to improve the soldiers of the school and the soldiers of the school and to complete it.
In this way, even if these foreign soldiers awaken their talents in the War Department on the battlefield, if they lose the learning War Department as their core, their talents will be flawed.
But as long as they follow the Xuefu soldiers to fight, their combat effectiveness will be fully increased.
Isn’t Bai Qiang a tradition of following the strong to fight, allowing them to exert their abilities to the extreme!
How come the whole book is about to say that you can do whatever you want after winning. Is there no systematic basic knowledge of military strategy?
For example, if I want to have a talent for hand-pulling the battle department, why isn't it mentioned in these materials?"
Wang Xuance sighed, and always felt that the military book of Duke Wei's Kingdom seemed to be a random copy, and it was not very systematic.
Although it focuses on how the legion talent is born and subsequent development, and even mentions the way to reach the ultimate talent, it does not continue to talk about how to train the talent you need, nor does it talk about how to achieve the talent step by step
The ultimate method.
The fastest way to improve talent in the whole article is. As long as you kill the opponent, you can upgrade. The stronger the opponent, the more benefits you will get when you kill the opponent, and from beginning to end, it is about winning.
Those who take all.
It is not at all like the gradual progress taught by Confucianism, which makes me feel very unreliable when I learn.
Maybe this is the art of war, and Wang Xuance is no longer worried and continues to follow his own methods.
If Li Jing knew that Wang Xuance had almost never really been involved in military arts, he looked at his draft of the "Weapon Art of War" War Department, and planned to try to customize the war department talents for the alien races and lock the battle direction of the alien races.
He was so talented that he was so excited that he shouted, "This is impossible."
Of course, if Wang Xuance really did it, Li Jing would definitely knock him out and drag him to his home to be the successor of his own robe and bowl. He would definitely grab Wang Xuance's shoulder and say, "You are destined to be with me, but I am willing to enter my door.
Come and become a good general in the world!”
Unfortunately, Wang Xuance didn't know this. He only felt that although the core idea of Li Jing's military book was written that as long as he wins, he would do whatever he wants, and he would grasp the essence and modify it in the details.
After all, scholars are like scholars who don’t “annotate the Six Classics, but I am annotated the Six Classics”.
Anyway, in Wang Xuance's concept, he did not feel that his operation violated the essence of military strategy, so why can't he try it?
Moreover, he judged that Tubo was coming, that is, he wanted to arm Xihe County, and at the same time he wanted to arm himself and make complete preparations.
At the same time, Wang Xuance was not at ease to send his judgment to Du Chuke, and Du Chuke needed to transport the food to Xihe County.
After all, there are many livestock farms in Xihai County where generals paid money to enter.
This year, I have selected some horses and distributed dividends to the generals and generals who have participated in more than 10,000 horses, each of whom has more or less dozens of horses.
Although it is difficult to expect the local animal husbandry to develop rapidly, animal husbandry is not the industry that was developed and harvested in that year.
But if you choose to get some famous horses, you can still get horses with a slightly worse level than Qinghai.
As for whom to give to this level of horse, it is naturally to give to King Wei, Duke Wei three, and one of Li Daozong and Hou Junji. These are already decided long ago. Who would let you do that if you don’t agree?
There is less money invested.
Of course, although Li Tai got three horses, he would still offer two horses to the inner court, mainly saying that this is taxation and filial piety.
So although Li Tai gets a lot, Li Tai also has a lot of points to do.
Du Chuke soon saw Wang Xuance’s report and Xue Rengui’s application for pension.
Du Chuke's corresponding pension application was approved immediately, but looking at the number of casualties of more than 100, Du Chuke's heart was also touched.
After all, compared with those soldiers in the palace, for people like Du Chuke who came from a family of people who have experienced troubled times, they are from two worlds and are more regarded as numbers in the report.
But now, these students from agricultural institutions may have heard their own teachings.
It’s really uncomfortable to personally approve their deaths!
Looking at this pension, then looking at Xue Rengui’s report that he hoped to increase equipment.
"If you want to add javelins, give it! If you want to add horizontal swords and obstacle swords, give it! If you want to add crossbow arrow heavy armor... I really can't give it!"
There was no way. The Tang Dynasty's management of military weapons was relatively relaxed due to the government system.
But both crossbows and armor have attracted special attention in all dynasties.
This is not the end of the dynasty, where monsters and monsters are rampant. As long as you have money, you can get anything.
Now during the Zhenguan period, there was an emperor who relied on force to unify the world, and even a saint who came to power by force coup.
The attention to military equipment is extremely sensitive. If you do something randomly, even the Du family may not be able to protect themselves.
Therefore, Li Tai left a small ironmaking factory in the Hehuang Valley, which was enough to supply normal weapons in the Xihai area. Even Tang Hengdao, who made steel, could be built after spending time.
However, armor and crossbow arrows can only be confirmed after the court's approval.
"There is no way to use heavy armor and crossbow arrows, but the material supply can be dispatched to the place first!"
Du Chuke thought for a while, wrote a letter to the Ministry of War to see if it could be approved for production.
As for other matters, Du Chuke immediately followed Wang Xuance's judgment and began to consciously transfer materials to Xihai County.
To be honest, after the experience of rescuing Nuo Hobo, Du Chuke has already realized that Wang Xuance is quite sensitive in military judgment, and even the more in a crisis, the more he can seize the opportunity.
Thinking back to the fact that King Wei asked him to assist Wang Xuance in logistics, I think he saw this person's ability in this regard.
"But, Tubo has not crossed the line... It seems that there are experts behind Tubo."
Du Chuke and Wang Xuance made the same judgment, but the difference between Du Chuke and Wang Xuance was that because Du Chuke was from the Du family in Jingzhao, he knew that Tubo's performance should be to make the Tang Dynasty agree to him.
However, Du Chuke also understood that under normal circumstances, the Tang Dynasty would not take the initiative to marry his princess to the other party for remote control of politics.
Only when the other party can threaten his border territory but needs comfort, will the princess be married.
Therefore, Du Chuke chose to wait and see if the Tang Dynasty was willing to marry, but also depends on the strength Tubo showed in the next fight with the Tang Dynasty.
If Tubo wins, the Tang Dynasty will not marry the princess, but will continue to fight.
But if Tubo loses and the country has not yet been destroyed, he will marry the princess to facilitate the court to control the border areas.
In fact, this can be seen from the history books of interactions between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
For example, the Tang Dynasty experienced the defeat of Dafeichuan, which led to the loss of Tuyuhun land. The Tang Dynasty had no idea of marrying each other, but continued to fight!
Then the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were won by Lunqinling one round after another. If it weren't for Lunqinling, they would have been able to join forces with Li Zhi and Wu Zetian to join forces to join the seventy-two generals, and they would have been lucky enough to even be promoted to the Ten Sages.
But even so, the Tang Dynasty's choice was to use external tricks to separate people, rather than to go to the marriage to settle the matter.
It was not until Princess Jincheng entered Tibet that the Tang army defeated the Tubo army and Tubo came to propose, and the Tang Dynasty agreed.
In other words, if the Tang Dynasty had a stick and a sweet date with the enemy, then the princess would be this sweet date.
Therefore, if Tubo wants to win the princess, for the Tang Dynasty, it is not even a cat or a dog who can surrender princesses. Then the forces that must be beaten by Li Tang but cannot be killed directly can be qualified to surrender princesses.
For example, Jie Li Khan of the Eastern Turks is another example. He was beaten by Li Jing and even if the entire army was wiped out, as long as he escaped, the Tang Dynasty's next method is likely to be a marriage.
After all, if you can't be beaten to death, it would be better to show kindness to marry him, so that he can be more stable in the border areas, and at the same time cultivate forces close to the Tang Dynasty within his tribe.
But if anyone told him to meet Li Jing, he was caught back to the Tang Dynasty and went to dance. Then there was no need to marry him. It was not that the Tang Dynasty did not want to show friendship with him. It was mainly because the political object was gone and the Eastern Turks had destroyed the country.
The princess is married, and the one who is married is never an individual, but an overall political force, which is the key.
So Du Chuke knew about this and didn't care too much about it.
After all, I really don’t know the national strength of Tubo. In this case, I should wait until Tubo and the Tang Dynasty really collided and understand the strength of both sides, and let’s talk about other things!
After all, countries still have to rely on their strength to speak. When you have laundry detergent, it is best to have laundry detergent.
However, the only thing Du Chuke is that the place in Xihai, at least when Empress Changsun was alive, the saint would never look at Xihai and throw it away.
Because facing Tubo, the West Sea is the barrier of the Hehuang Valley, and the Hehuang Valley is the only place where large-scale Cordyceps sinensis is being planted in experimentally. Now whoever moves this thing is touching Li Shimin's reverse scale!
Therefore, Du Chu judged that there should be a high possibility of applying for heavy armor.
It was just a question of whether the court was willing to spend a lot of money to mint. As for the mention of spending money, as long as the King of Wei was willing to bear it, I believe it could pass.
However, in order to prevent the court from being unable to hold back and ignore this, I wrote a letter to my brother, just let him know about this matter and just mention it.
As for how to operate it, I won’t participate anyway.
Of course, this matter is not suitable for writing in official documents and memorials. As for the missing things in Xihai County, I just report them honestly. I believe the court will definitely give an answer.
As for myself, I should be able to go back to work as a Luoyang Order in two years at the latest.
