Wei Wuzu, who left a strong mark on history, were severely weakened in the Battle of Huayang and were reduced to the security forces of Daliang. Although Daliang Wei's official position and rank remained unchanged, his power was not as good as before. Those who entered the military

Some people in the Wei Dynasty who were serving as officials have begun to look for other opportunities. Others are admonishing the king and asking the King of Wei to re-recruit and replenish the soldiers, but it is like a stone sinking. Both the King of Wei and Lord Xinling seem to have no confidence in the civilian army of Qin.

Even more interested, the newly appointed general Jin Bi, as well as the generals who were promoted from the military soldiers, were sent to train the civilian army, and no one cared about the military soldiers anymore.

Because Si Mang served as Lord Xinling's middle camp in Huayang and assisted Lord Xinling in commanding the rear army, he was promoted to a lieutenant with meritorious service. When Zheng Anping was appointed as the commander, Si Mang was also appointed as the commander of Xinling.

Lieutenant, in charge of the military affairs of Xinling. When Lord Xinling met with Si Mang, he told him that in addition to maintaining security in the territory, he also had to undertake the work of training all the people of the city - this work in the Wei State was never the responsibility of the local guard.

Responsibilities.

Xinling, the fiefdom of Lord Xinling, is a city with 100,000 households. It has a standing guard or security force of about 1,000 people. The job of the lieutenant is usually to manage these 1,000 people, guard against thieves and bandits in various villages, and detect lawlessness;

When Lord Xinling went out to fight, he was responsible for following Lord Xinling's instructions to recruit the best people in the city to accompany him on the expedition. However, the task given to him by Lord Xinling was to train 100,000 people in the city, no matter strong or weak, as long as they were all Dingkou.

Able to fight! This made Si Mang feel that the challenge was huge. Si Mang asked for more manpower, but was told that there was already a shortage of soldiers within the army and could not be transferred. He could only train a thousand people in the standing army first, and then train others after they became proficient in fighting skills.

.

When the Battle of Huayang failed miserably, Lord Xinling did not participate, and Si Mang also did not participate. However, the annihilation of all the Wei army's soldiers still dealt him a heavy blow! In his opinion, even if one of the soldiers cannot be worth ten, one can be exchanged for one.

There is no problem. But all 25,000 soldiers were killed, and the total losses of the Qin army were estimated to be less than 10,000. This was completely beyond Si Mang's expectations.

Si Mang wanted to find someone to understand the situation at that time, but almost all the soldiers who participated in the battle were killed on the battlefield. The general Mang Mao who commanded the battle and his Mang family were missing. Si Mang had a vague feeling that the destruction of the soldiers might be related to Mang Mao.

It was related to some conspiracies of the family, but there was no basis for it. His belief in martial soldiers was shattered, which dealt a very heavy blow to Si Mang. He even had doubts about the training methods. Originally, according to his idea, as long as these thousand standing soldiers

If the soldiers are trained to be half-level soldiers, and then the people are trained to be 30% of the level of soldiers, it will be enough to defeat the Qin army and complete the mission of Lord Xinling. But the current situation is that the professional soldiers are not Qin soldiers at all.

The Qin army was an opponent, so how to train to defeat the Qin army? No one answered his question.

When the people of Qin asked the Wei army to send troops to assist in the war, Si Mang took the initiative to lead the troops there, hoping to find training ideas from within the Qin people. He reported his ideas to Lord Xinling, who then took the initiative to ask the King of Wei to fight, and was willing to

He sent tens of thousands of troops from his own territory to fight on Wei's behalf. Naturally, the King of Wei had no objections and specifically asked Wei Prime Minister Wei Qi to prepare all the grain, equipment, and livestock needed by Lord Qi Xinling so that there would be no shortage. Wei Qi naturally knew that Wei Qi

The role that the king obtained from the Qin people was to be part of the baggage team and not to participate in the battle. The so-called grain, livestock, and equipment were originally meant to be provided, but now it was just a favor, which was all regarded as goodwill to Lord Xinling!

During the march, the Qin and Han armies advanced side by side. The Wei army led by Si Mang followed at the end of the team. When they were camping, the Wei army also formed an independent camp. Si Mang desperately wanted to see the Qin army develop its combat effectiveness, but failed to do so.

Observed that when passing the camp fence of the former army, he also tried to evaluate the differences between the Qin army and the Korean army from the perspective of a professional officer, such as whose camp arrangement was more reasonable, whose pits were dug more standardized, and whose pits were dug more standardizedly.

The camp was tidier, but there was no special discovery. However, after a few days, he felt a strange phenomenon: his troops seemed to be more willing to be stationed in the original Qin camp instead of the Han camp. Walking in front of the Wei army was Qin,

The two armies of South Korea and Qin each have 10,000 troops. For the Han and Qin armies, the rear armies will choose to garrison their front army's camp; but when it is the Wei army's turn, they do not have a queue for both armies to advance together, so they can choose at will.

In the past, the Han army or the Qin army garrisoned the barracks. However, the Wei army always chose to garrison the Qin army's barracks. At first, he didn't notice why, but later he discovered that the Han army's side usually had more foul smell, while the Qin army's side smelled worse.

Much better. Observing carefully, he found that there was no feces around the Qin army's camp, while there was a lot of filth piled up around the Han army's camp. So Si Mang found the first advantage of the Qin army: digging pits to bury soldiers when they defecated.

This was not included in the training syllabus of Wei Wuzu. After discovering this, he also ordered Wei Jun to dig a pit before defecating and bury it with soil after defecating. There was some resistance at first, but everyone soon discovered the benefits.

:The place to live is not so smelly! In less than a month, all Wei troops strictly implemented this discipline.

After entering Jin, Si Mang still set up an independent camp. The Qin army had "evacuated", while all Han troops marched into Yanyu, preparing to capture Yanyu City. For a whole month, Si Mang lived in Hu Yang and Gongzi.

In the city where Jiu lived. Due to the need to comprehensively defend this town, the Wei army could not choose a suitable camp to live in as before, but had to arrange garrison troops according to the needs of the defense strategy. Si Mang found that even in the city,

The Han army in the west still defecated everywhere, while the Qin army in the east basically went to the toilet. This made Si Mang puzzled: Is there any relationship between defecation and combat effectiveness? In any case, he still ordered that after entering the city, anyone with

You have to go to the toilet to relieve yourself and defecate. Orders are strictly followed.

After entering the lake, the temperature dropped significantly, and rain and snow came one after another. The residents who fled to the mountains could not survive it, so they came back one after another. Si Mang asked for good treatment. At first, only the old people came back, and slowly the men came back, too.

Finally, there were women and children. In about ten days, the whole place regained its popularity and smoke began to curl up.

After the Shi people came back, Si Mang discovered another advantage of the Qin people: they did not destroy things and used them more lovingly. Specifically, in the Juyi where the Qin people were stationed, there were fewer disputes about damage to property; in the Juyi where the Han army was stationed, there were fewer disputes.

, there were many disputes over damage to property. Although these disputes were not big and would not cause much impact, they did involve a lot of energy. This made Si Mang even more curious about the management and training of the Qin army! He issued another order not to damage

Any damage to the property of the city where he lives will be compensated! After the order was issued, he obviously felt that the relationship between the Wei army and the Shi people had become much more harmonious. Although their dialects were different, they could communicate much better by making gestures and guessing.

Shortly after the Han army entered Lanyu, Gongzi Jiu brought a message to Si Mang. The Han army would rest in Lanyu for the winter, and the Wei army would also rest in Jin. He said that the Qin army had already left Shangdang, and if it could securely occupy Jin.

The King of Han will definitely appreciate He Lianyu, so if Si Mang is asked to help, all the needed materials can be obtained from Jin. If civilians are needed, they can also be requisitioned from Jin, and South Korea will definitely acknowledge the debt. Si Mang looked at it

This favor was funny: I am stationed in Ji, and I want to collect food, supplies, and people. What can you do to me? However, I still expressed my gratitude to Master Jiu for his kindness, but stated my difficulties and how I must

Determined to overcome difficulties and persevere until spring! At first, Si Mang was a little worried, and all the people in Ji fled. As the people in Ji came back day by day, and the harvest in Ji could still support them through the winter, he also decided to stay in Ji for a long time to spend the winter!

Among other things, it is always good to save tens of thousands of stones of grain and hundreds of thousands of stones of fodder.

Just when Si Mang was preparing to spend the winter with peace of mind, he suddenly reported that the Zhao army was coming for reinforcements! This made Si Mang nervous. If he went deep into a strong area and was attacked by a large army, his 10,000 poorly trained militiamen would not be enough to fill their teeth! He sent someone to ask Zhao

How many reinforcements were there and where they were. Before anyone reported back, the alert people reported that the valley was bustling with people, as if countless people were coming. Si Mang immediately beat drums and ordered the entire Wei army to assemble and let the Shi people prepare themselves.

Armed and prepared to resist. The latter step turned out to be very necessary in hindsight: these militia armed forces were naturally unable to deal with large armies, but they were very effective against scattered broken troops. As a result, many places in Shidi escaped the fate of being robbed by broken troops.

After the defeated troops entered Jin, they were disarmed by Si Mang and concentrated in several towns. For the defeated troops who disobeyed orders, Si Mang did not make it difficult for them and allowed them to pass through the city, but was not allowed to stop in Jin.

More and more Korean officers entered Shi, and more Korean troops stayed in Shi. Si Mang gathered the officers in the city, prevented them from contacting the soldiers, and asked them to learn about the battle situation in Shi. There were officers who had experienced the war.

He introduced the course of the war to Si Mang: the main reason for the failure was that he was too late to seize Beishan. The reason why Zhao Jun was able to seize Beishan in advance was entirely because Zhao Jun in the north was cold-resistant and dared to go up the mountain shirtless and wearing thick clothes in the winter.

The Korean troops in winter clothes were still shivering from the cold, so they naturally took action a step late. As for the battle at Lianyou, the officers were very tight-lipped and no one was willing to go into details. However, the people below found out some information from the Korean soldiers and dared to express their gratitude to Han.

The army did not resist at all and prepared to retreat early, but due to panic, the retreat turned into a rout! After Si Mang heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head.

In just one day, Shi took in more than 20,000 Korean troops. Si Mang asked the Shi people to prepare a meal of hot food for them. Then he announced that those who were willing to leave would be given a bucket of food and left. Those who were unwilling to leave would be assigned to each camp.

Handymen. In order to avoid causing trouble when the troops broke out, all the soldiers did not carry any long weapons when they left. They only carried a short stick at the eyebrow level for self-defense. Officers were allowed to wear swords. After another day, all the soldiers who could walk left.
Chapter completed!
