In the early morning, when the sun was rising, Liu Bei and Jian Yong, who were resting in the tent, heard the noise outside the tent, and they woke up at the same time.

When the two of them walked out of the tent, the sun was shining brightly and it was another good day.

When a group of soldiers walked past in front of him, Liu Bei suddenly became interested. He turned to Jian Yong and said, "Let's go, Xianhe, to patrol the camp?"

Liu Bei invited him, and Jian Yong was naturally happy.

While walking in the camp, it was getting bright and clear, and Liu Bei and Jian Yong saw clearly the details of the camp that they had not seen last night.

Walking along the road, Liu Bei saw that the tents were set up very neatly. All the tents were arranged along the roadside. The tents did not occupy much of the road, and the road was very spacious.

In front of each tent, a new bonfire was lit on top of the bonfire that was burned out last night. The cooks were busy cooking, and there was smoke everywhere.

Liu Bei discovered a special detail. Behind the nearby bonfires, there were one or two grain bags. This was very inconsistent.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei smiled. He remembered why, and reached out to touch Jian Yong, who was looking around. Liu Bei pointed to the bonfire and whispered to Jian Yong.

After a while, Liu Bei finished speaking. Jian Yong looked at the grain bag behind the bonfire. He looked surprised and a little puzzled, "...even so, if the bag is so close to the fire, won't it be burned?"

?”

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, "That's true, but burning the grain bags is better than burning the tents.

It's the lesser of two evils.

It's probably because there aren't enough wooden boards, otherwise Xi'er would have used wooden boards..."

Halfway through this sentence, as if to confirm Liu Bei's words, Liu Bei turned his gaze slightly, and he suddenly saw a bonfire farther away. Several large shields were inserted into the ground around the bonfire, surrounding the bonfire on three sides.

It separates the campfire from the middle of the tent.

"Look, look!" Liu Bei raised his hand and gave Jian Yong a hard slap, pointing excitedly, "Just tell me! If you can use a wooden board, you must use it."

Jian Yong looked along what Liu Bei was pointing and saw at a glance the bonfire that was hastily surrounded by shields.

Jian Yong smiled, it was really like that.

The two walked over to take a look together, and when they got closer, they saw three shields of different sizes. The shields were not just poked into the ground casually, but dug into shallow pits and buried in the ground. This must be strong.

Seeing this, Liu Bei and Jian Yong also understood why there were so many bonfires with food bags piled behind them. According to this usage, three shields would be needed for a fire, and the shields would definitely not be enough.

As for why the bonfire is blocked by wooden boards or other things, this is based on experience. During the march before, there was a strong wind at night, and the wind blew up the sparks. The marching tents were mostly coated with tung oil, and a spark burst out.

It was on instantly.

After realizing the fire prevention problem at that time, everyone discussed many methods together. Li Mengxi, who lacked life experience, thought of making some iron stoves. This would not only be convenient to carry, but also convenient to start a fire, and also prevent sparks from being blown away. But later because of

For various reasons, it has never been possible to build a useful iron stove. The second fire prevention method Li Mengxi thought of, who had little life experience, was to put extra wood sticks in a circle around the bonfire every time he burned a bonfire.

A wooden fence can also greatly reduce the possibility of fire.

Because of his lack of life experience, Li Mengxi always thought of some troublesome and clumsy methods, and most of the simple and effective methods were proposed by Liu Bei and others.

At that time, Guan Yu said, if you want to block the fire, why bother inserting firewood and putting the shield in a circle? It would be nothing more than a tight wall.

This method was excellent, so Li Mengxi naturally wrote it down casually.

Liu Bei had participated in the discussion, so when he saw it this morning, he immediately remembered it.

After that, they continued to patrol the camp. Liu Bei and Jian Yong saw that even if they got up and even if it was dawn, the civilians were still huddled in their tents and did not come out, making the entire camp look extremely empty.

Just as he was wondering, an unruly person came out in front, and the patrol soldier immediately walked over and scolded the person back.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei was puzzled and stepped forward to stop the soldiers to ask what happened.

The soldier replied, "It was the order issued by the military advisor this morning, saying that no one should move around."

Liu Bei nodded and waved the soldiers away.

After the soldiers left, Liu Bei looked puzzled. When he got up in the morning, he was not allowed to move. Why?

I looked around and wanted to ask Li Mengxi, but I didn't know where Li Mengxi was.

With doubts in his heart, Liu Bei and Jian Yong continued to patrol the camp.

There were not many people in the field team, and there were only more than a thousand soldiers, and they were camped at a crossroads. The camp was shortened several times, so each camp was not long. After a while, they came to the end. At the end of the camp, Liu Bei

I saw that there was a long row of vehicles blocked across the road. These vehicles were heavy-duty trucks pulling grain and farm equipment. The things on the vehicles were piled in a mess. The row of vehicles was blocked across the road, blocking the road to death.

Death place.

When you see this, Liu Bei can guess it without looking, and the same is true for other camps.

Pointing to the car formation, Liu Bei patiently explained to Jian Yong, who was looking around, "Xianhe, this is the car formation.

There were not many cars at this time and the formation was not set up, so we could only get stuck at the intersection.

If thousands of carts were placed in a circle around the camp, it would be magnificent!

Back then Huangfu Song..."

Liu Bei was so excited that when he mentioned Huangfu Song, Liu Bei stopped. After all, it was not a glorious thing to confront the army.

Liu Bei didn't want to say anything, but Jian Yongke became interested. Jian Yong asked curiously, so Liu Bei had no choice but to start talking about it.

Liu Bei talked about the battle situation at that time, the airtight formation surrounded by thousands of vehicles end to end, and the earthen forts built by trenches that took several days to dig. Speaking of the wonderful points, Liu Bei said with emotion, "

Xianhe, you don’t know that in the wilderness at that time, trenches were dug all over the ground, just like mass graves!”

From Liu Bei's description, Jian Yong could imagine how many and messy the mass grave-like pits were. Jian Yong asked curiously, "...Xuande, the place where the battle was fought should still be there, and the fortifications should also be there."

, how about taking a look when you have time?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Bei looked up at the sky and thought, the place where the confrontation was at that time was only seventy or eighty miles away from Julu, and it would take half a day to get there, so Liu Bei nodded.

, smiled at Jian Yong and said, "Okay! I have time to go and take a look."

As he was talking, he reached the edge of the camp. There was a queue of vehicles in front of him, and soldiers were guarding there. Liu Bei asked people to move the vehicles to open the passage, and then he walked towards the outskirts of the camp.

After leaving the camp and walking far away, they looked back at the whole camp. The first thing Liu Bei and Jian Yong saw at first glance was that in the wilderness, surrounding the camp, there were many hoes and sticks inserted in the wilderness, with the handles of the hoes upside down.

Plugged into the ground with the hoe on top, it looks strange and a little funny.

Seeing this scene, Jian Yong was confused again, but Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Jian Yong's confusion, Liu Bei smiled and explained, "Haha! This is Yun Chang's method, which is to draw the ground as a prison!"

The method of drawing the ground as a prison is to set up a camp sometimes. It is difficult to set up a stronghold in a hurry. But if the stronghold is not established, the defense will be helpless. The key is that there is no stronghold, no stronghold wall to restrain it, and there is no support outside the wilderness. The soldiers can wander around at will.

If you don’t know where to start and end, it’s easy to get distracted.

Therefore, the so-called drawing of the ground as a prison can be used at this time. Instead of setting up a camp, you can just use a few flags and a few wooden poles to insert at the four corners of the camp to serve as boundaries. In this way, the soldiers know where the boundaries are and will no longer move around randomly, so military discipline can be maintained.

Clean and rigorous several times.

Just a few flags or a few wooden sticks can be of great use. Jian Yong was greatly impressed and nodded secretly.

After understanding this, Jian Yong looked at the pickaxes and sticks stuck upside down at intervals in the wilderness. When he looked at them again, Jian Yong felt ridiculous.

It is clear at a glance that these hoes inserted one at a time are like a fence surrounding the entire camp. With this, the soldiers are drawn into "prisons" and behave in a controlled manner. Without a stronghold, it is almost like having a stronghold.

The tour of the camp was over. Jian Yong and Liu Bei came along and saw a lot of knowledge about marching and camping. Looking at Liu Bei, Jian Yong sighed, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a while. Xuande, you are already familiar with military affairs. I am no longer as good as me."

also!"

Liu Bei laughed and said modestly, "A certain leader has only been out for half a year, so he cannot be said to be familiar with military affairs!"

Seeing Jian Yong's many emotions, Liu Bei was keenly aware of his friend's depressed mood, and he comforted him, "Xianhe, all these camp tasks and military strategies are actually not difficult.

There are many military strategies in the military records, and everything related to military strategy is recorded in every detail. You can know it by looking at it when you have time."

Jian Yong's eyes widened when he heard this, "Seriously?!"

"Seriously!" Liu Bei chuckled, "I can still lie to you."

There is indeed an art of war in the army. There is a unique art of war in a very special time. In the art of war, all the problems encountered since the army was launched, all the countermeasures thought of, all offensive and defensive tactics, tactics against the enemy, all equipment, civil engineering, chariots and ships and other knowledge,

All the essence of setting up camps, ambushing and defending against night attacks are all recorded.

It is no exaggeration to say that this piece of art of war is a practical record of the construction of the rebel army into an army.

After half a year, Liu Xuande became very familiar with military affairs. Jian Yong only thought it was because of the art of war. After making this guess, Jian Yong understood that Liu Bei must have understood military affairs only after reading the art of war.

In the near future, when Jian Yong goes to read the so-called Art of War in person, Jian Yong will then understand and understand why Liu Bei said that he can understand it just by reading it once.

In the morning light, outside the camp, Liu Bei and Jian Yong were pointing at the camp and commenting on the layout of the camp. At this moment, the messy sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Liu Bei came back to take a look and saw several cavalrymen galloping from a distance.

When the cavalry arrived, Liu Bei asked them where they had gone.

The leader of the cavalry team gave Liu Bei a fist salute on his horse and returned, "The military advisor sent us out for inspection last night, so we were out."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei looked at the few dusty cavalry and asked curiously, "How far did you guys run last night?"

The cavalry captain replied, "Thirty miles away."

Liu Bei was slightly surprised. After the surprise, Liu Bei smiled. He smiled clearly because he was out working in the fields, but he was as busy as if he was in a war.

The cavalry returned to the camp. Liu Bei pointed to the cavalry team entering the camp and explained to Jian Yong, "The scout team goes out with several cavalry. If there is an enemy situation, someone will always run back in time."

When Jian Yong heard this, he thought that it was indeed the case.
