Chapter 961: The First Military Strategist of the Late Han Dynasty

Unlike Bohai County, Bohai County had Liu Bei in front to attract the enemy troops, and Li Mengxi in the rear to command and dispatch. In Bohai County, the work of the Julu soldiers scattered to the local area was relatively simple, and they did not need to stand alone.

In contrast, Guan and Zhang led more than a thousand cavalry to the counties day and night. The cavalry consisted of a team of five, and each team had five people. They were responsible for all the defense operations in a large area, recruiting soldiers, gathering people's hearts, raising food and armaments, and even conducting reconnaissance.

, training troops, marching, everything and so on.

Somewhere in a certain township in Hejian County, two cavalrymen from the Julu Army were driving along the road. In the car, they were pulling half a cart of thin sticks with paper stuck on them. Every time they walked, after walking a hundred and twenty steps, the carriage stopped and the carriage stopped.

The sergeant came down and planted a new flag along the road.

Looking back at the road back, all the way here, there are flags one after another, stretching to the end of the line of sight.

In this one-third township and 19-village area, in addition to the flags erected along the roads, there are also large flags fluttering in the wind in the wilderness. From time to time, a tall pole can be seen on the edge of the forest and other places.

There is a huge flag hanging on it, and the Chinese character "】 is visible in the distance. This is the gathering flag for war.

In another place, Julu soldiers were training. After training, the instructor asked people to pull green cloth as a scarf and a blue cloth as a uniform to reward those who had excellent training. This was a reward method created by the soldiers themselves. Zhang Fei

The design of Li Mengxi and other senior officials is that the turban is another kind of identification besides the flag. For the turban, when you go to the local area, you can collect as much blue silk as possible. Silk is valuable, and you can reward the local soldiers with green silk, which can have excellent benefits.

The reward is great. If you can't raise silk, collect blue cloth as much as possible and wrap your head with green cloth as a sign.

Li Mengxi, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, the four of them compiled a temporary combat manual. Although it was carefully considered and thought through, it was done in a hurry after all, and many situations were not taken into consideration.

When the cavalry arrived at the place, they failed to find blue silk as expected, but only found green cloth. The green cloth was poor, so they only used green cloth as a reward. The reward effect was obviously poor. The smart cavalry captain thought of a good way.

Combining the advantages of green silk and blue cloth, the reward method has been greatly changed. Soldiers with excellent training will be rewarded with a green scarf and a green cloth uniform. If there is only one green cloth scarf, it is not valuable enough and the rural soldiers will not be enough.

I thought I was training hard for a blue cloth turban, but a blue cloth turban and a blue cloth uniform were different. The people were poor, and a new suit of clothes was enough to attract people.

Thanks to the pioneering work of the cavalry captain, their team was able to use cheap blue cloth to achieve a reward effect close to that of silk. In fact, the reward effect was better than that of silk. Because silk was not practical, a silk scarf and a

If sets of clothes are put together, people will probably think that silk is unrealistic and it is better to have clothes.

The cavalry here, at a price far lower than silk, using only green cloth, achieved a better motivational effect than silk, which is wonderful.

It is a pity that this was not expected in advance. If this method is taught to the entire army, it is estimated that the overall training effect of various places can be improved by 30%.

There are more than 300 rural soldiers here, half of them wear turbans on their heads and uniforms on their bodies. The same turbans and clothes of the same color, uniformly uniform, unexpectedly have the effect of serious military appearance, the rural soldiers

When people saw it, they thought it looked very similar.

The third place.

In Hejian County.

The situation here is special. When the combat manual was first distributed, I specifically asked about the literacy status of the cavalry. As a result, some people got away with it, and some were clearly illiterate, not necessarily literate. Then, when they arrived at the place, none of the five cavalrymen was literate, so they held it in vain.

There were hundreds of pages of illustrated and detailed operational manuals that clearly covered every aspect. As a result, although there were many pictures in the manual, they couldn't understand the text.

When the incident came to an end, they panicked. Military discipline was strict. If something went wrong and we were traced later, everyone would probably be subject to military law.

As a last resort, the five Julu cavalrymen had to go to the countryside to seek talents. The five Julu cavalrymen asked everywhere and found a respected local old man. After explaining the whole story to the old man, they handed over more than 100 pages of the combat manual to the old man.

, entrusting the elderly to help with the main task.

When the old man saw the combat manual, his eyes lit up. Julu's high-grade paper is very attractive to any reader.

When the old man flipped through the content, he was extremely surprised when he saw the concise, realistic and detailed description of the fortifications drawn on the first page.

When the old man finished reading all the more than one hundred manuals, he was even more shocked.

In the eyes of the knowledgeable old man, the hundreds of battle manuals with pictures and texts were regarded as a secret military art that could be passed down to his family.

What happened next, of course, was that the command changed hands.

This was unexpected, but it led to another path.

In the plan of Li Mengxi and others, they regarded the powerful officials in the countryside as local chickens and dogs. In the whole plan, they had no intention of borrowing the power of the extremely unreliable officials and powerful officials.

Outside of Li Mengxi's plan, there is another way, with the Julu Army as the supplement and the powerful government as the main force. This way is even more realistic and easier to operate.

The old man who was entrusted by the cavalry of the Julu Army to take charge was a well-known sage in the countryside. This old man had great energy. He personally came forward to protect the country and the people. From the government to the powerful, everyone gave their full support. As a result, this incident

The land is impregnable, far superior to other places.

In order to train troops, a training ground was specially renovated here. The brave and loyal soldiers from the countryside came to join the army, and more than two hundred people and horses were easily gathered.

In the training ground, the sound of people and horses neighing loudly, and the smoke and dust billowing.

Under the thatched hut, with the old man on top and the Julu Army cavalry sitting on their knees, the old man explained everything in the battle manual to the Julu Army cavalry.

"For example, this is the method of drawing the ground as a prison.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are nine times out of ten when you will be camping in the wilderness and have no time to set up a stronghold.

The first is that the camp is not established and there is no defense to rely on. The second is that there is no camp and no walls, and there are no boundaries when moving forward.

Therefore, the ground should be drawn as a prison."

“Why is painting a prison?

As your military manual says, you can draw one or two ropes and set up one or two wooden stakes to draw the ground into a prison.

The best way is to set up elevated torches at the four corners of the camp, so that even if it rains heavily at night, you can still know where the boundaries are."

After finishing this article, the old man put down the combat manual in his hand. He looked at several Julu soldiers and asked curiously, "What is this elevated torch for?"

The corps leader replied respectfully, "It's just a torch stand with wooden boards on it to keep out wind and rain."

The old man nodded.

He turned down another page, and when he turned it down, the next page was a drawing, and what was drawn on the drawing was a torch stand.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at it carefully.

[About drawing the ground as a prison], remarks about the torch stand, including the structural details of the torch stand. The torch stand must have a snap ring to prevent the torch from falling off after shaking if the stand falls to the ground.

The wooden board on the torch stand should be three feet higher than the torch. If it is too high, it will not block the slanting rain. The torch stand should be larger than the torch, so that if the stand falls, some wood will hit the ground first and the torch will not be destroyed.

In addition, because the torch needs to stay lit all night, it is a little troublesome to replace the torch, so a burn-resistant pine torch can be used. Therefore, when it comes to logistics, there is a coordinated method. The wood in the army is used by others to burn firewood.

, and the pine wood can be reserved for torches.

Also, the torch stand should not be too high or too heavy. If it is too heavy, it will be difficult to lift if it falls over. The height of the torch stand should be such that one person can walk on it and two people can run on it. If it falls,

One person can support it and two people can stabilize it, so this is better.

After reading all the notes about the torch stand, the old man was impressed by the careful consideration.

I just thought about it for a moment in my mind, and thought of such a person with fire on all sides, a shelter and a barrier, an arrow that could not be extinguished, a raindrop that could not be extinguished, and a fall that could not be broken. In the blink of an eye, it fell down and then set up an extremely strong torch stand, fighting at night.

Among them, a fire will last forever and stay bright, and when the soldiers see it, their morale will not collapse for a long time.

This can be called a good way to fight at night.

All the details written in the Julu Army's combat manual were fully implemented here. Preparation of food and grass, collection of weapons, manpower training, enemy situation reconnaissance, preparation of guiding flags and gathering flags, etc., etc., due to the

With huge local support, the defense here was completed early, and the counterattack force was already available early.

Even if this is the case, even if there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses gathered here, it is completely possible to fight against the thieves. Even if the command of this place has changed hands, this place is still cooperating with the huge army that spreads across the counties, connects hundreds of troops, and spans thousands of miles.

Plan, prepare to the agreed date, and launch an army counterattack at the same time.

It's not all smooth sailing everywhere.

In the fourth place, the Julu Army cavalry in charge here have limited capabilities, and the leader of the team is weak and has poor negotiation skills. This team simply does not have the ability to control dozens of villages. They can only barely summon the troops from three villages.

Ding Zhuang, reluctantly organized defense construction in the three village areas, completed troop training, raised food and other matters. Fortunately, the lower limit of Julu soldiers was already very high. No matter how poor the soldiers were, basic training could still be completed. In Julu,

Under the strict discipline of the army in the past, no matter how bad the personal character of the soldiers, they would not dare to do anything too extreme.

This means that even if this cavalry team has weak negotiation and organizational capabilities, at least it can achieve basic guaranteed results. The five Julu sergeants here have basic formation training capabilities, which guarantees that at least

A hundred rural soldiers who can barely fight can be trained. With these one hundred rural soldiers, they cannot counterattack or defend one side, but at least they can defend one or two villages. These five Julu Army soldiers will suffer for a long time.

Military discipline restrains the military from committing serious evil deeds, thus ensuring that morale and people's morale are barely usable and the military can barely fight.

In the fifth place, there are five cavalrymen from the Julu Army. Unfortunately, these five people are all known for their bravery and are commonly known as people with simple minds and well-developed limbs. When these five people arrived at the place, they didn't do anything well. They led people to set up fortifications and did nothing.

Not good, the food collection was not done well, and the training of the troops was not focused on. These five people did nothing well. However, they somehow managed to gather brave men from ten miles and eight villages and mobilized a group of more than a hundred people.

The cavalry of more than a hundred cavalry traveled around the countryside all day long. They didn't see the rebel army for one day, and they didn't see the rebel army for two days. They became more and more courageous, and they could hardly help but go north to actively fight the enemy.

In the sixth place, a conflict occurred and the situation was bad. Soldier Julu encountered a bully who bullied the people in the countryside. Soldier Julu, who had always acted benevolently, could not tolerate such evil behavior and taught the bully a lesson on the spot. Unexpectedly, Li Mengxi

Guan Yu and others thought that the name of General Zhendong was enough to intimidate the countryside, but they did not expect that there would be a bold and vicious person.

The bully was taught a lesson by the Julu Army cavalry and lost face. In anger, he led his men to hide in an ambush. It was pitiful for the five Julu Army soldiers who were full of sense of justice. They didn't even see the enemy, and they all died from random arrows.

among.

The improvised combat plan designed by Li Mengxi and others inevitably had many omissions. Li Mengxi only considered not to do evil to the people, but did not expect that doing good to the people would also lead to disaster.

The Julu Army has a strict system. The cavalry are scattered all over the place, opening up a dragnet, and the rangers are responsible for investigating the enemy's situation and liaising with various ministries.

The sky net is vast and sparse, and although the manpower is scattered, there are many connections. Several Julu Army cavalry disappeared inexplicably. The first to notice the abnormality was the scout. The scout's first reaction was that the thieves had arrived, and he quickly stepped up the investigation.

.

The scouts focused on investigating the surrounding area, but found no enemy for the time being.

Regardless of whether the scouts could discover the truth or not, the Julu Army cavalry began to frequent the area where the incident occurred. The cavalry traveled frequently in the countryside, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. The bully who had committed the murder suddenly felt the pressure doubled.
