Late at night, in Shiling Town, Kang Chuangui’s general house welcomed a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman.
"General Kang, this is the condition that my master has made public. What do you think?" Looking at the notorious Fucheng Yajiang in front of him, the middle-aged man showed no fear at all and talked eloquently: "After driving away Li Kan,
I will help you become the Marquis of Yu in Mabudu, the capital of Fucheng, and take the position of Guo Fei. You can take the wealth and goods of the Guo family by yourself, and my master will not ask for a penny. Is this good?"
"Although I also hate Guo Zhen, General Zhang's behavior makes it hard for me to feel at ease." Kang Chuangui played with a dagger in his hand and sneered: "You are just talking nonsense and you want me to cooperate with you?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he asked again: "What do you mean, general? You might as well tell me directly."
"If you want to get the letter, I will first send you 20,000 yuan to reward the sergeant." Kang Chuangui said: "In addition, send He Gongya's wife. I am very fond of this woman."
The middle-aged man was silent when he heard this. His lord also wanted to get He Gongya's wife, but this was difficult to handle.
"General, after driving away Li Kan, the Jinyang treasury is still left to us to take what we have? As long as we show the interests to the sergeants, they will understand this truth and there is no need to reward them immediately."
"Huh, after all, it's just empty talk!" Kang Chuangui understood the truth at first, but he was still worried that if he really drove away Li Kan and killed Guo Fei, the Jinyang treasury might not be able to get his hands on it.
"General, in fact, you don't need to do anything. You just need to make way for a while, open your eyes and close your eyes." The middle-aged man patiently advised: "He Gongya, Guo Fei's house can also be given to the general. How about it?"
?”
"No! Either send 20,000 yuan first, or send Mrs. He Zhao. Only then can Kang see General Zhang's sincerity, otherwise there will be no discussion." Kang Chuangui slapped the table and said angrily.
The soldiers standing around also looked at the middle-aged man and sneered, as if they were about to take action at the next moment.
"General, are you unwilling to help?" The middle-aged man looked ugly and said with cupped hands: "Without a few words, I went away. General Kang, please know that this matter does not necessarily require your help.
"
"Hmph! Let Zhang Kai give it a try." Kang Chuangui stopped the soldiers behind him who were about to take action and sneered.
Is it possible to refuse to say anything and just talk nonsense to get others to help him? But it was a pity for He Zhao. Thinking of that woman's figure and appearance, Kang Chuangui couldn't help but show a slight respect. Fortunately, there is still a chance.
Later, when Shao Shude was beheaded, he took the woman captive to the tent and played with her every night. When she got tired of playing with her, she was thrown to the soldiers to serve as a camp prostitute, keeping company with Deng Qian's wife and daughter. Haha, He Gongya, he was still with me back then
Grab your spot and see who has the last laugh.
"General, without our cooperation, Zhang Kai would probably be able to incite the Jinyang sergeants to cause trouble, right?" After the middle-aged man left, the general stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"He doesn't dare." Kang Chuangui threw the dagger on the case and said, "It's a matter of two or two to encourage the sergeants to cause rebellion. I know Zhang Kai's temperament to a certain extent. He is a cautious and hesitant person. He has already
You are the Marquis of Du Yu, so you don’t have to do this. If there is any disharmony, it would be unfair to let Li Kan’s loyal dog lead the troops to kill him. I think it’s probably better to find a solution with Dai Bei.”
When the general heard this, he immediately understood that he was going to use a conspiracy to force Li Kan.
******
No matter how the generals in Hedong coordinated their efforts, Shao Shude still reorganized the army in Jinyang and did not dare to relax.
Sun Tzu said: "The victory of an army lies in usurping the soldiers, its courage lies in its control, its skill lies in its power, its advantage lies in its trust, its virtue lies in its Tao, its wealth lies in its urgency to return, its strength lies in the retreat of the people, and its damage lies in repeated battles."
Shao Shude asked himself that he had only accomplished half of the eight points mentioned by Sun Bin. The first point was to select pawns. Needless to say, all of Tielin's pawns were veteran pawns who had been fighting for many years and were very skilled.
The second point is "courage", strict military discipline, generous rewards, he asked himself that he has done it, the family has no money, they eat, live and train together, which is naturally convincing.
The third point of "smart" is somewhat problematic. It means that the soldiers' combat maneuverability depends on the general's ability to assess the situation and command properly. He asks himself that there are still many shortcomings. When forming small and medium-sized formations and fighting face-to-face, he will rely on the soldiers.
With training, equipment, and courage, maybe we can still win.
But if it is a large-scale battle or placed in an extremely complex environment, he will find it very difficult. Military education is not systematic. He does not know how much it will cost to just read military books by himself, ask others for advice, and learn in war.
Time. To put it more cruelly, will there be this time?
The fourth point is "benefit lies in trust", that is, the combat effectiveness of a soldier lies in the fact that the general keeps his word. He asks himself whether he is doing well and is prepared to continue doing so.
The fifth point of "Tao", simply put, is that the army is well-trained, has good basic qualities, and the generals are knowledgeable and can guide correctly. This is knowledge at the military management level. He is also exploring and learning, and the road is long. But it feels like
Well done on the third point, that one is really a flaw.
"Wealth lies in urgent need to return" and "strength lies in resting the people". This is a macro-level description of the country. It means that sufficient military supplies lie in quick battles and a strong country lies in the people's ability to rest and recuperate. Tielindu currently has sufficient military supplies. Point six
No problem, the seventh point has nothing to do with him for the time being. There is really no military spending. Commander Jie can still get a loan. Isn’t that what Dou Han did? Borrow money based on his ability!
The last point is "the injury lies in the number of battles". It is easy to understand that frequent battles will weaken the strength of the army. After all, wars consume too much, and too many battles are fought. Material supplies are insufficient and reserve troops are exhausted. These are all very real problems.
Fortunately, Tielin has not been troubled by this yet.
Sun Bin actually explained it from the perspective of the country, but after Shao Shude learned it, he felt that it was also very helpful to him. He is also an old man and has quite a lot of experience in the military. Some of the knowledge in the military books helped him expose a lot of things.
Window paper, I study and take notes very diligently, I take them out from time to time to review, and then discuss with my subordinates, my skills are often upgraded - er, I often have deeper insights due to clerical errors.
The knowledge of the camp academy currently mainly involves the four major parts of troop selection, troop training, military management, and combat. Most of the officers above the Tielindu team have more than ten years of military service and rich experience, so they are very familiar with troop selection and training.
He understood the content very quickly, but when it came to running the army, either because of his cultural shortcomings, his own temperament, or his social experience, he always felt that he could not learn so quickly, which made Shao Shude quite nervous.
Let’s not talk about combat. He himself is still in the stage of thirsty for knowledge. Chen Cheng, a half-baked strategist, can only talk about war on paper, or a incomplete version of it. Let’s just learn from each other. How can we be foolproof during the march?
How to deploy quickly, how our army responds to changes in the enemy's forces, and how to reasonably read the battlefield situation, let's take a look at it together.
Shao Shude recorded all the detailed records in a notebook called "Tielin Du Military Training Records" (also called "Shu De's New Book"). Together with the previous contents, he often organized, revised, and improved them as a guide for the commanders and above of the capital team.
The readings were compiled by Shao Shude orally and Chen Cheng ghostwritten them. When the officers read, the literate ones read it by themselves, and the illiterate ones asked reliable people to read it for them. The "New Book" cannot be spread outside, after all, it is a "controlled reading". Furthermore, Shao Shude
I also feel that the content of the "New Book" is too vulgar for the time being, and it would be shameful to spread it out and make people laugh.
This "happy" learning and training activity lasted for about a month. At the end of August, news came from the Daibei front line that Yi Zhao and Li Keyong were at a disadvantage in the battle and asked for reinforcements. Shao Shude laughed angrily when he heard this.
Li Key only has a few people, but he is "unfavorable in combat". What a fucking black humor. Are you all trash?
Shao Shude quickly called Chen Cheng and wanted to hear his opinion.
"General, this matter is not that simple." Chen Cheng said as soon as he came up: "Yizhao is a long-standing general, a member of the Hedong generals, and has close relationships with other people. I suspect that he is probably asking Li Jie to do this.
The commander-in-chief agreed to send troops stationed around Taiyuan Prefecture to go north. Who will lead these troops? Naturally, they are Zhang Kai and Guo Fei..."
Shao Shude understood it as soon as he heard it. Although Zhang Kai and Guo Fei are generals, they usually live in the city. They work at midnight, drink tea after get off work, and want to do something. Last month, Shao Shude hunted and killed He Gong. Ya, doesn’t this person only have hundreds of generals guarding the palace? To be honest, this number is a serious violation, but no one is taking care of it. At that time, the army was in the camp, and the soldiers were also there. After surrounding the mansion, it was basically a matter of death.
But if it is necessary to go out to defend the enemy and put the army in their hands, it will be different. Sergeants Gein have gathered from various camps and received equipment, food, grass, equipment, pack horses and other logistical supplies, and brought them under one roof.
Under the general's command, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Don't make things too simple.
"He Gongya must be very sorry that he did not cause trouble during the northern patrol." Shao Shude smiled and said: "Okay, no more joking. Mr. Chen, how will Marshal Li handle this matter?"
"Li Shuai will send envoys to issue orders, but he will not use troops for the time being." Chen Cheng replied simply and neatly.
Shao Shude nodded. They have been foxes for thousands of years. You talk to me about Liaozhai? Now is the time to compete for the patience of both parties. Li Kan understands, and the Hedong Jiangmen Group also understands. But it is impossible for the two parties to reconcile. Li Kan is a person who must retaliate.
, Hedong Jiangmen is not a good person. Sooner or later, he will be bumped into and sparks will fly. You have to be prepared. If it doesn't work, you can protect Li Kan and run away, and you will not let him down for promotion.
"Mr. Chen's words made me suddenly enlightened. He is really my Xun You." Shao Shude praised sincerely.
Chen Cheng's eyes twitched when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
This is the impact of Shao Shude's residual habits of modern people. In the 21st century, when people make such jokes and make such comparisons, they basically have no psychological burden. They just say it and it doesn't mean anything. But this is different.
, Shao Shude compared Chen Cheng to Xun You, isn't that comparing himself to Cao Mengde? Thinking of the "Shude New Book" that he compiled and copied before, Chen Cheng suddenly felt a little scared and a little excited. The master has such great ambitions, and he must help him well.
It is not impossible to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future.
After Chen Cheng left, Shao Shude continued to read and write notes. Time passed like this day by day. On September 15th, the weather was already quite cold. While training, Shao Shude heard a piece of news and did not dare to neglect it, so he found Chen Cheng again.
Discuss with Li Yanling.
"I need to trouble Mr. Chen to go to Lanzhou Qiu Shijun. I heard a bad rumor this morning. The supervisor Li Fenggao wants to move the town to the river. He is afraid of ruining my big job." Shao Shude sighed: "Damn it.
, instead of doing the good job of supervising the army in Hedong, he actually went to be the supervisor in Hezhong. This Li Fenggao is really interesting."
"It's not easy to supervise the army in Hedong." Li Yanling smiled and said: "This superintendent Li also came here after his predecessor was killed. He has been living in seclusion for a year and is very low-key. But now with the scene in Hedong, even a dog with a sharp nose can smell something wrong.
, even if Li Fenggao wants to live his life as usual, it will be difficult. In this case, it is better to make plans early. Hezhong Town is quite prosperous, although it is not as good as Hedong, but it is okay. This idea is normal. "
Lao Li actually understands Li Fenggao quite well. We all don’t want to fight for power, so we can just live quietly, okay? It doesn’t seem to be possible now, so it’s better to leave as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.
Shao Shude nodded when he heard the words. He could understand, but he couldn't accept it. What happened to this, alas!
