Hearing that the visitor's name was Zhang Han, Heifu was stunned for a moment before blurting out these words...
However, he could not tell the story of Zhang Han that he had admired for a long time, because those things had not happened yet.
Li You would not have thought that even Zhang Han himself would not have expected that although he was just a military commander with a small official position now, more than ten years later, he would be the last famous general of the Qin army, the person who took the lead in the late Qin Dynasty. He single-handedly suppressed the Qin army.
The rebel army that defeated Chen Sheng and Wu Guang was the biggest enemy of the New Six Kingdoms. If Xiang Yu hadn't destroyed his friendly forces in the Battle of Julu, the final result would have been even more uncertain.
But before that, what had happened to Mr. Zhang? Heifu knew nothing about it. He seemed to be doing well, but he had caught Li Si's eye and he would have a bright future.
Zhang Han only thought it was Heifu's humility and didn't take it seriously. He also smiled and said: "Han has long admired the name of leader."
Zhang Han's smile gives people a feeling of spring breeze. Surprisingly, Zhang Han is not just talking, he does know a lot about Heifu's deeds. As a member of the "Li Si Party", Zhang Han
He is about the same age as Li You and has a good relationship, so he has heard about Hei Fu's performance in the last war, and even remembers that Hei Fu's sister-in-law is called "Cheng".
"The county engineers are all under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu. I was the one who handled the treadmills presented by Anlu County. They can now be seen everywhere in Guanzhong. I heard that recently they have also made water-operated treadmills. I saw a man from Nanjun on Ru River.
The craftsmen are erecting it. They set up clever mechanisms to pound the water, and its efficiency is ten times that of the treadmill. It is really amazing. With this thing, the soldiers no longer need to pound rice for half an hour before eating.
Already..."
After half a year of use, the water dam has matured. In addition to being widely spread in Nanjun, it was also brought to the army and set up by the stream where the army camped. This thing was still new in the Central Plains and attracted great attention.
Zhang Han is a smart and wise man. Although Heifu is only a small leader, he is the man who can make the King of Qin praise "among the thorn oaks, there are also Zicai trees". How can he be the man who can make Li Si's son Li Youxin respect him?
What about neglect? So I don’t hesitate to praise you.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li You asked the two of them to go into the account with him, and asked his secretary Feng Jing to come over so that he could record the plans and manpower allocation of the Nanjun soldiers for the barrier project. Before Feng Jing arrived, the three men
But people started talking about war first.
Li Youdao: "Shaorong is from Guanzhong. He served in the army a few years ago and participated in the battle of Ye Commandery to destroy Han Dynasty. He also followed General Wang to recruit Zhao Yougong and was granted the title of public official."
"oh?"
Heifu was a little surprised. He saw that Zhang Han was less than thirty. It turned out that he had such seniority in the army and had the same title as himself. For some reason, he joined the Shaofu as an official? He did not directly become an officer during the recruitment.
Although Zhang Han was tall and tall, he had a gentle appearance and spoke slowly, neither impatiently nor impatiently. He explained: "Three generations of my family have been working in the Shaofu. It can be regarded as continuing the duties of my father and ancestors. During the military recruitment,
There was a shortage of Jun Sikong who was good at dealing with earthwork and carpentry, so General Wang chose me."
Li Youze sighed for Zhang Han: "Shaorong is also proficient in military affairs. When we were in Xianyang, I often talked with him about military warfare. It would be a pity not to be a military official..."
At this point, he rolled his eyes and said: "Shaorong, General Wang is currently ordering the three armies to build high barriers. According to you, how will the general fight this battle next?"
Zhang Han said with a smile: "It's not good for the military commander to discuss military affairs arbitrarily."
"There are no outsiders here, but it doesn't matter!"
Li You acted as if Hei Fu was one of his own, and Zhang Han couldn't shirk it. After pondering for a moment, he said: "There is a saying in the art of war that if you are invincible, you must defend; if you are victorious, you must attack. If the defense is insufficient, attack.
There is more than enough. A good defender hides under the Nine Earths, and a good attacker moves above the Nine Heavens, so he can protect himself and win completely... I think the old general had the same idea. Qin Yiyi versus Baht, he had the advantage.
, so this battle does not require fancy military formations, you only need to be patient, win first and then fight, and you will definitely win!"
After hearing this, Li You burst into laughter, pointed at Heifu and said, "Shaorong, your opinion coincides with that of Commander Heifu. As early as a month ago, he had predicted in Nanjun that he would
In this battle, a quick victory is the priority. General Wang must act cautiously, plan it slowly, use the right combination, and win by surprise. He also said that this is called...defensive counterattack!"
Zhang Han looked at Heifu with a little more interest, and Heifu said humbly: "I experienced the defeat of General Li Xin and Meng Tian a year ago, so I thought that we should not rush to fight. This year, Nanjun has a good harvest, and there will be more
We have collected 600,000 shi of grain and rice as military food, and the other counties are also well supplied with food. There are also rivers such as Ru River to transport food by ship, so it is important to establish a foothold on the front line first."
Therefore, the victory of those who are good at fighting has neither wisdom nor bravery. But last time, Li Xin pursued these two things with all his strength. His movements were fancy, but Xiang Yan took advantage of him and made the world laugh.
Wang Jian is much more stable, and the old man plans to use the most shameless and effective tactic: crushing you with the power of the country!
Heifu knew the general process of this battle, and Zhang Han was deeply influenced by Wang's military tactics. In the battles he fought in the future, whether it was the battle of playing with water or the battle of Dingtao, he always defended first.
Attack from the rear and attach great importance to military supplies and supplies.
Different reasons, but the same conclusion. After a conversation, Zhang Han felt that he had "similar views"...
…
Since being introduced to each other by Li You that day, Heifu and Zhang Han have become acquainted.
Anyway, Wang Jian was determined to build a wall and accumulate grain, and the Chu army did not dare to attack rashly. The battle would not be fought for a while, so Heifu asked Li You for the task of supervising the civilians, and had more dealings with Zhang Han.
Opportunity.
During this period, Heifu discovered that although Zhang Han was not in charge of the army, his work was closely related to fighting, and he had some unique insights of his own.
The next day, when Hei Fu once again lamented that it was a pity that Zhang Han did not become a military official, Zhang Han said:
"Appointing military officers, managing soldiers and armor, organizing the ranks of military officials, setting up golden drums and flags, leading the army into battle formations, and defeating enemy camps, this is the officer of the captaincy."
"Knowing the dangers and dangers of hundreds of miles in front and behind, and checking the strength and weakness of the enemy's army, this is the officer in charge of the army."
"This is the officer of military law who makes the distribution of military pay fair and clear rewards and punishments."
“This is the official who makes the roads smooth, the camps secure, the forts strong, and the military kitchens and wells well-equipped.”
“It is an officer of the military who ensures that the baggage and heavy equipment are transported in a timely manner, assists the army in sheltering the broken troops, and ensures that no one is separated when moving and stationing, so that there is no loss of military resources.”
In one sentence, the responsibilities of the captain, military lord, military judge, military commander, and military officials of the Qin army were explained clearly.
After saying this, Zhang Han compared with Heifu: "The commander belongs to the captain, and I am the official of the Sikong. For the general, the above five features are like the relationship between the body and the eyes, mouth, tongue, femur, humerus, limbs. One thing is missing.
No."
Each of these five organs performs their own duties, roughly equivalent to the division commander, reconnaissance battalion commander, military judge, engineer battalion and logistics department in later generations. The division of labor is very fine and appropriate, so as to ensure the normal operation of an army of tens of thousands.
After hearing this, Heifu praised: "With such an overall understanding, Shaorong is indeed as talented as the captain said!"
No wonder more than ten years later, Zhang Hanbuming became a blockbuster, almost single-handedly saving the Qin Dynasty from collapse!
But at the moment, Zhang Han is still just an Army Sikong who runs around the construction site all day long and is always covered in dust. His responsibilities are all related to the construction work: when the army marches, he has to lead the civilian workers to pave roads and build bridges to ensure road conditions.
Good and makes transportation smooth.
Then, the scale of the camp must be determined based on the terrain and the number of people, and a strong camp must be established as a foothold for the army.
Thirdly, wells were dug and stoves were built to ensure the supply of food and drinking water for the garrison. After all, in these days, it was emphasized that "the forts are built and then the people dare to move, and the wells and stoves are built before they dare to eat."
At this time, Zhang Han didn't seem to have any lofty ambitions. After getting acquainted with Heifu, he even pointed at the civilians living in simple tents next to the military camp and said with some pride: "Besides, don't look at the army Sikong is not in charge of the army.
But with the general’s orders, these tens of thousands of civilians must obey my orders!”
Heifu was a little funny. It seemed that Zhang Han was going to finish his work in the Shaofu. He secretly said: "Ten thousand people? This is nothing. From now on, you will still have to take care of 700,000 prisoners and civilians and build a mausoleum for the First Emperor.
