Xixia Hongmen has a flat land. If a camp is set up, up to 300,000 troops can be stationed. It has always been the gathering place for the Qin army to go eastward. In the early years, Qin Xiaogong sent Shang Yang to march eastward from here. Wang Jian destroyed Chu with 600,000 troops.
, and also used this as the base camp to gather soldiers from Guanzhong...
"As I said, the regent currently has three prefectures: Yong, Liang, and Jing, as well as Nanyang and Jiangdong. The two places together form one prefecture. If it is necessary to conquer, 600,000 yuan will be difficult, but at least it can be conquered.
Three hundred thousand..."
The speaker's name is Yang Wu. He is in his thirties and is from Xiagui County, Guanzhong. He used to be a military judge in the army of the Qin Dynasty. He is smart and diligent, and has always been good at arguing. He can analyze the situation in a clear and logical way. In Lantian,
During the great defection, he followed Yang Xi and others in surrendering.
Yang Wu was talking to a colleague from Ningqin at this time, but he glanced at the other people in the tent.
Although it has the strength to recruit 300,000 soldiers, there are currently only 30,000 troops under the banner.
Therefore, the Qin people surrendered their troops. After the Xihe War ended in August, except for a newly formed "Xihe Division" that was being trained and reorganized, they were basically released to go home and harvest.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was also stationed in various places, either in Longxi, in the North, or in Shangjun, Fenglingdu, and some of them were taken by Dongmen Leopard to Hangu Pass and Shaanxian County. Therefore, there were only four in Xianyang.
There are about 10,000 people, 10,000 of them serve as "Lieutenant Army" and are responsible for the defense of Xianyang City, while the others serve as "Guardian Army" and are stationed under the opera.
However, as far as Yang Wu knew after asking around, the people present turned out to be a cavalry Sima from a good family from the North, named Gan Chong, who had a long history under Han Xin, a military judge from the Dongmen Leopard Army, and
There are many outstanding military officials who surrendered to the Qin army.
In addition to military officials, there are also many Qin officials from various official offices of the Jiuqing in Xianyang, such as Anlu Xijun's son Hui, Zhao Yao, a junior official in charge of food under Xiao He, the captain of Zhisu, etc., and some of them are in the censorship department.
A minor official in charge of books and books.
He even saw a few alchemists with strange smells on their bodies...
"What are you going to do? Act in a hundred plays?" Yang Wu was a little confused. He asked some people. He didn't have outstanding military achievements, but he was still recommended by his superiors. As for what he was going to do, he didn't know. Everyone
They are all gathered here.
But just the clause "the regent will receive him in person" was enough for everyone to come here. After reducing rents and taxes, as well as the publicity of Baixi Opera, the regent's reputation in Guanzhong has risen, second only to Qin Shi Huangdi...
While everyone was speculating, the regent arrived.
"Xia Gong is here!"
The Northern Expedition military officials all stood up and straightened their backs. Therefore, the Qin military officials took a step back. Yang Wu stood on tiptoes to see the regent's face clearly. Unfortunately, there was a tall man from the north in front of him.
, blocking the line of sight. Also blocked was a short southerner on the left. During the conversation just now, Yang Wu learned that he was from Nanyang and his name was Lu Sheng.
When everyone bowed together, Yang Wu deliberately bowed a little slowly, and then he caught a glimpse of the regent. He was dressed in military uniform, but unfortunately he couldn't see his face... "The second and third sons have been waiting for a long time."
The regent was very kind and asked everyone to sit down. Many important officials came with him, such as Xiao He, the governor of Su Nei, Ji Ying, the protector of the army, Chen Wujiu, the imperial physician, Xu Fu, the traveler, Chen Hui, etc...
And as soon as he opened his mouth, it was surprising. "I called two or three sons here today to sum up the failure!" "Why was Xihe failed to achieve success in the Battle of Xihe, causing Xiang Ji to retreat unscathed?" "Why was the Battle of Huainan so unsuccessful!"
Everyone cheered up, with surprise in their eyes, and summarized the failure. This really doesn't look like the Qin army's style...
Anyway, the people present were not ordinary people, and the regent did not shy away from it. He said that the reason why the two battles were unsatisfactory was that the first was the misestimation of the enemy's strength, and the second was the lack of a good command system."
Good doctor, we can be defeated once or twice, but we cannot be defeated a third time. The world is torn apart, and the people are in despair. In order to wipe out the bandits of the six countries as soon as possible and then unify the world, and for the smooth march of the three armies in the future, we must know ourselves and the enemy, and give orders as if we can give orders.
"
"Therefore, General Yu will set up a new official office, which will be responsible for military affairs and strategic planning, and serve as the general's wings and wings!"
This meeting was not long, and the main content was to announce to everyone that they were the best talents in the armed forces and the government, and had been selected into an institution directly under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei, a government office called "Yiyiying"." I once read "Six
"Tao", King Wu asked the Taigong: "The king and the commander must have arms and wings to become a god of power. What can I do?"
They do not stick to one skill; because they are able to accept their duties, they each take advantage of their strengths and change at any time, as a rule. Therefore, there will be seventy-two people with arms, arms and wings to respond to the way of heaven. The numbers are prepared according to the law, and they can judge and understand numerology, special abilities and skills, and everything.
That’s it.’”
The Taigong gave an example that there should be seventy-two people in the Feather Wings, including confidants, counselors, astronomy, geographical advantages, military skills, general food, Fenwei, Fuqigu, Gugu, generalists, powerful men, ears and eyes, minions, and Feather Wings.
Travelers, warlocks, alchemists, alchemists and other talents in various fields are responsible for work in combat, propaganda, espionage, astronomy, communications, engineering, medical care, military supplies and other aspects.
In short, no one is perfect, and no matter how strong a commander is, he cannot cover everything. He needs all kinds of talents to provide battlefield information, intelligence, and solve basic trivial matters.
Heifu was shocked when he first read this military book. Isn't this so-called "brachial and femoral wing" the "General Staff" system of later generations? The work is almost the same, except that there is no name "General Staff".
However, this only exists in the theory of military art. Firstly, this art of war was made by the Qi people during the Warring States Period. It is a secret of the Qi State. Not many people in the world know about it. Secondly, during the period of King Min of Qi, due to the superstitious recruitment system, they paid attention to the recruitment system.
The Qi State with elite soldiers was beaten by other countries and was described by Xunzi as a "soldier of national subjugation", and its military system was no longer imitated.
In the Qin State, during the period of the First Emperor of Qin, there was still Wei Liaozi who was responsible for national strategic work. However, after Wei Liao's death, the post of Taiwei was vacant and was no longer established. These tasks were left to the general to set up staff in the shogunate and appoint assistants in the shogunate.
, Counselor of Military Affairs, is to join the army.
The theoretical construction of the government has been started, and the military construction must also keep up. In the past, there was no time, but now that Guanzhong has been captured, the three armies have a chance to rest, and they immediately began to prepare this plan, allowing each army to select outstanding talents who must be literate.
And he must be smart and diligent, so he is the best candidate to be a consultant.
As for the ingredients, as Yang Wu saw, they are very mixed, because they have to engage in different aspects of work." The three people in astronomy are responsible for the ephemeris, weathering the weather, predicting the time, testing talismans, checking for disasters and abnormalities, and understanding people's hearts.
Machine. "These three people are responsible for the wind direction, weather, etc. during war. These are very important during combat. For example, the weather affects marching, and the wind direction affects the accuracy of archery and trebuchets." The two warlocks are mainly deceitful and rely on ghosts and gods.
, to confuse people's minds. "The other is a superstitious activity, which is indispensable these days. Just keep counting on "good luck will win" and that's it.
In both aspects, Taibu Xu Fu took the lead in the construction, and the alchemists sent to him were responsible for it. "The two alchemists are responsible for hundreds of medicines to treat golden sores and cure all diseases. "This is a military medical officer, which is simple, because
It was proposed by Heifu many years ago. It has already taken shape in the Qin army. During the Southern Expedition, the barefoot doctors even showed their magical powers. "The four generals of grain control are responsible for diet, accumulation, and clearing of grain channels to produce grains."
, so that the three armies will not be tired. ""The two of them are responsible for accounting for the incoming and outgoing of the three armies' camp walls, food, and finances."
These two are the logistics brigade and planners, so they are naturally handled by talents from Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu." The three people in the geographical advantage are in charge of the movement situation of the three armies and the news of interest; the distance is dangerous and dangerous, the water is drying up and the mountains are obstructing, and the ground is not lost.
profit."
These are carried out by the "public servants" of the Yushifu. The work is simply surveying and mapping maps. The Qin Dynasty was also very developed in this regard. After all, the First Emperor was a map controller..." The five counselors were mainly responsible for planning safety, and they were concerned about Wei Meng and discussed the matter.
Performing one's abilities, clarifying rewards and punishments, conferring official positions, ruling out suspicions, and deciding whether or not one is worthy or not. ""There are three people covering the drums and flags, and the main person is to lay down the drums and flags. They can discern the ears and eyes, use strange symbols and knots, give wrong orders, come and go in secret, and come in and out like gods."
"There are four men on the ground, and the director is responsible for controlling the situation, building ditches, and building barriers to prepare for defense."
With military law, flags and drums, and fortifications, with these three kinds of people as assistants, Jiang Ling at least did not have to do everything by himself like Zhuge Liang, and eventually died of exhaustion...
"Nine people on the art of war mainly discuss similarities and differences, success or failure of actions, simple weapons, and illegal assassination."
"Three powerful men, they are the masters of strange and strange things, they set up different things, which are beyond human understanding, and they make infinite changes."
This is the work of tactics and maneuvering, and those strategists and soldiers who have defected to Heifu one after another have a place to use.
"The five minions are responsible for displaying their might and motivating the three armies, so that they can attack the enemy in spite of difficulties without any doubts."
"The four wings are responsible for promoting reputation, shaking the distance, shaking the four realms, and weakening the enemy's heart." "The seven ears and eyes are responsible for hearing and observing changes, observing the affairs of the four directions, and the sentiments in the army." "The eight wanderers are
He waits in wait for the traitor to change, tries to open up favors, observes the enemy's intentions, and thinks of him as a spy."
This is internal propaganda, external propaganda and espionage intelligence work, completed by the cooperation of Shusun Tong and Ji Ying. "The four Fenwei are in charge of selecting talents, discussing military revolution, running fast and without knowing where to go." This is the selection of talents, black and white.
My husband also plans to set up a military academy in dozens of palaces in Guanzhong to continuously produce educated officers.
Of course, he will personally serve as the wine sacrificer!" In addition, there are three people, Tongcai, who are responsible for picking up omissions, attending to guests, discussing topics, and solving problems. "Collect all aspects of information and conduct strategic review work.
Finally, it was handed over to the chief of general staff, who was the "confidant" who controlled these more than seventy people. "The confidant is one person, who is responsible for planning and responding to the soldiers, watching the changes in the sky, taking charge of the strategy, and protecting the lives of the people."
In Heifu's mind, the most suitable person is Chen Ping. It's a pity that Pingping is still in Jiaodong, fighting with Fusu. "Chen Hui, you can let him take charge of these talented people!"
Heifu finally chose Chen Hui, a strategist who had been following him since Nanyang, as the leader. Chen Hui was among the heroes for persuading Nanyang to surrender.
As a result, the prototype of the General Staff was formed, with 72 people in charge of operations, propaganda, espionage, astronomy, geography, communications, surveying, engineering, medical, military supplies and other aspects. Chen Hui, his confidant, directly asked Heifu, who also served as Taiwei.
Responsible……
Due to limited conditions, Heifu could only set up a national general staff. He hoped that based on this, when the decisive battle with the Six Nations started in six months, he would be able to set up a military regional general staff.
, each takes advantage of his own strengths, and I hope that all of you can be my arms and wings!" "You will definitely live up to the regent's kindness!"
Yang Wu, who was selected as one of the nine people in the "Art of War", loudly echoed with others.
After Heifu finished the matter, Ji Ying came to him and reported: "Quji sent someone to send an old scribe over, saying that he was a counselor of the Wei State. He crossed the river to join the regent. His name was Li Shiqi. He was an important person."
Military information needs to be reported to Xia Gong personally..." "Li Shiqi?"
