After this early stage of study, Lu Zhi had completely chosen to join the system established by the Taihang Mountain people.
The reason is simple.
The big man cannot solve his own problems.
Only by relying on the new system established by the Taihang Mountain people can the Han Dynasty's own problems be solved.
As for making the Liu family emperor the emperor, let’s see and then talk about it.
He is not the kind of foolish and loyal person.
Now he knows why the other party doesn't care about him coming here to study.
It turns out that as long as he learns deeply, he will understand that the big man cannot be saved.
Why are Taihang Mountain people fearless?
I didn’t say that I would send troops to attack this or that. It turned out that they had already made preparations. In a word, they were confident and waiting for the right time.
Just these 8 words.
Lu Zhi was then allowed to learn further tactics and strategies.
He sighed, finally able to learn the one thing he was most interested in.
After all, force is the foundation of everything.
No matter how well other countries develop, without strong force, they will eventually be conquered by barbarians.
His last official position was Beizhong Langjiang.
Instead of the title of Great Confucianism.
Come to the Yizhao School and the Military Department.
“The primary science of war is intelligence.”
“We must learn how to collect intelligence, how to analyze intelligence, and how to make decisions based on intelligence.”
< br>
Lu Zhi nodded.
This is actually what Sun Tzu said long ago in The Art of War.
It takes time.
There are many kinds of space.
Knowing your enemy and knowing yourself is intelligence.
But the other party's explanation was far more detailed than Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Sun Tzu's Art of War is just an outline.
Few people can use it to fight.
The school teaches specific methods.
To put it simply, after you finish the class, you can directly use it in practice.
For example, how to train intelligence personnel, how to communicate information, and how to integrate information.
How to conduct single-line contact, how to encrypt intelligence, how to authenticate messages, and how to ensure the correctness of messages?
“The first way to train intelligence personnel is to train business intelligence personnel. By cultivating business talents, collect their business activities in enemy countries, and then analyze their military strength and troop trends.”
< br>“For example, by checking their food prices, you can know whether there have been military operations recently.”
“Military operations require the requisition of grain and grass, which can easily increase food prices.”
“You can also check the price increase of steel and salt to see if they have recruited new soldiers.”
“Business activities are not developed enough now, so the intelligence obtained in this way is not accurate enough.”
“ You can also get a lot of detailed information by hooking up with the general's servants and the cooks who cook for them."
"You can get confidential information without engaging in too dangerous activities."
"Some high-level spies must be trained from an early age to be used at critical moments, and cannot be used all the time."
"They are more used to provide feedback on some major political matters."
"In reality, we don't count on those high-level spies, because they are unreliable. Instead, we count on a large number of middle- and lower-level spies, who are reliable. , extensive, wave after wave.”
Lu Zhi was dazzled.
These are just very important.
For example, it can be used in wars against Xiongnu and other grassland tribes.
Of course, the teacher only talked about some simple common sense and practices.
Wen Rensheng didn’t have much time to explain everything one by one.
After all, time is still short.
What is more important is to establish various disciplines, and then iterate and fill in them when someone learns them.
If you want to study in depth, you must specialize in this subject.
Now they just learn a simple outline and basic operations.
Then there is topography.
Learn to survey the terrain and draw new maps.
The map should be highly detailed and learn new art drawing methods.
This is not a freehand map.
There should be scale bars and contour lines.
The other thing is the sand table.
Heaps of rice form mountains, and heaps of sand form valleys and rivers.
In this way, you can conduct a pre-deduction in a very vivid way, and then you can know it well.
After Lu Zhi saw this detailed map drawing, he immediately understood, if the general got such information, how could he fall into an ambush?
Unless you are too careless or too arrogant.
He was shocked again.
This is too detailed, simply dividing war into many categories.
This completely exceeded his thoughts as a general.
He was also a good general in the past.
He can also distinguish rewards and punishments, be brave and fearless, be good at using generals, and know how to deploy troops.
This is enough to defeat those Yellow Turbans.
But compared with the people here in Taihang Mountain, he is just like a child playing house.
He couldn't help but become the opponent of the Taihang Mountain Man. If he competed with him, he might not be able to move forward.
The other party can set up an ambush at will to make themselves embarrassed.
At most, he could keep some of his soldiers and retreat to save their lives.
It is absolutely impossible to win any victory.
At this time, he was glad that Huangfu Song did not listen to him, because if he came here, the whole army would be annihilated.
And once surrounded, 7 people will surrender, and those who insist on fighting to the end will not exceed 3 people.
Although the soldiers are illiterate, they are not stupid. They can understand who they are fighting for.
Staying and living here is far better than going back.
He continued to learn.
The science of war is definitely not something that one person can master.
The next section is staff science.
Many people need to gather together to break down a military operation into large and small plans, and then hand them over to the middle and lower-level officers of the army to execute them in sequence.
These staff officers are responsible for maps, some are responsible for logistics, and some are responsible for designing routes.
Someone is responsible for the specific process of the battle, how to unfold it, how to assign tasks, how to attack, how to defend, how to detour, how to cover, how to charge...
Everything is detailed and detailed. Refinement, after refinement comes training and retraining.
There will never be a situation where the soldiers know their mission only after they enter the battlefield, the superiors give orders, and the soldiers blindly charge, blindly advance, and blindly retreat.
Before everyone went to the battlefield, they had trained on how to complete various tactical tasks.
Such as attack, defense, and echelon retreat.
In short, it will not leave the soldiers at a loss and not knowing what to do.
As long as soldiers know what to do on the battlefield, morale will not decrease quickly.
Death often fails to scare them.
Because they know how to do things.
When these staff members are gathered together, the entire march and battle can be clearly arranged.
Then let the officers follow suit.
Clear, clean, clear, neat and efficient.
This is Lu Zhi’s intuition.
If this continues, an army that has undergone basic training will be able to perform with ease on the battlefield without panicking.
Complete your combat missions better.
And every team completed the task, and the entire war was naturally won.
“Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!”
Lu Zhi couldn’t help but sigh. The enemy didn't know what was going on, but it was clearly arranged before the march and the battle.
I just wait to see how I will be beaten and how I will lose the battle after the battlefield.
Of course the enemy can also struggle.
But as soon as you enter the battlefield, you fall into the calculations of many staff officers. At best, they choose different ways to die to make their death more beautiful.
Lu Zhi then followed up to learn the various arms, equipment, and effectiveness...
“Equipment must be standardized, easy to maintain, and replaceable in a unified manner.”
"The focus is on the armor."
Front-line soldiers, all the melee troops they face have steel armor!
At least half-steel armor and a steel helmet.
When Lu Zhi found out, he was shocked.
Steel in this era is a symbol of magical weapons.
This is what it means to make steel a hundred times.
Now only high-ranking officers have iron armor, rotten silver armor and the like.
Most of the soldiers have cotton armor, rattan armor, wooden armor, or even no armor.
And now they have even equipped all melee soldiers with steel armor.
Can the combat effectiveness be the same?
Hiding armor is rebellion, but having a sword is fine.
It can be seen that the imperial court was afraid of armor but not of swords.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi knew why he had to pass the previous courses before he could learn here.
These are the real military secrets.
How do outsiders know that the Taihang Mountain people have prepared steel armor for the soldiers.
Steel is so expensive. How did the other party get so much cheap steel?
He thought about the engineering and business studies he had seen before, and suddenly it dawned on him.
Yes, they are all interconnected.
Only by paying attention to those two disciplines can there be improvements in equipment.
It only took a year for Lu Zhi to learn this.
Time comes to 186 years.
It has been two years since the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Thieves and bandits are still everywhere.
It was a big mess.
Looking at the Taihang Mountain people, they are thriving.
Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously they are all the same Han people.
One can do it well, but the other is a mess.
It is like a home of hardworking people and a home of lazy people.
The business scale of the cottages in various places has become larger, and more wealth has been created.
The cultivated mountain fields and planted trees are more prosperous.
The food produced, the steel produced, weapons, cloth... are increasing day by day.
The scholars also changed a round, rotating from various copycats.
At the same time, Lu Zhi also saw that some of the original managers of the cottage were assigned to do coolies because they could not control themselves and wanted to take advantage of them.
This hard work is very tiring.
Originally, some people said that he should be hanged directly, but after evaluation, it was found that greed is human nature, and it will happen no matter how much restraint is applied.
You are not afraid of killing.
It is more satisfying to kill with one knife.
It is better to let them know through hard work that they are doing this kind of thing for enjoyment, but it results in suffering.
Taihang Mountain people say that creating a stove effect does not depend on the size of the punishment, but that as long as you reach out, you will be burned, and no one will touch the stove.
Lu Zhi was convinced.
Even if the three tribes are punished, if only a few people are unlucky, others will still follow one after another.
Even if you only work as a coolie for three months, if you reach out, you will be unlucky, and others will be very wary.
Lu Zhi also achieved something in his studies.
He studied very hard every day, simulating how to actually fight in his mind every day.
And an opportunity for actual combat finally came.
"Reported that Zhang Chun from the north rebelled and led the Wuhuan people into Kouyou, Ji, Qing, Xu..."
"Damn Zhang Chun, this villain! He is really greedy and unbridled, The imperial court treats him badly, but he dares to rebel!" Lu Zhi yelled.
After spending more than a year with the students, I also developed a happy temper.
If the former students were to see him again, they would not be able to believe that he was Da Ru’s teacher.
"Gong Lu, the teacher has summoned all the outstanding students to ask questions. Please go."
Now Lu Zhi is qualified to participate in the Taihang Mountain people's school dialogue because of his excellent academic performance.
Lu Zhi was very happy and immediately ran away on horseback.
In a school somewhere.
Wen Rensheng was discussing with the students about Zhang Chun's rebellion.
"Does anyone know why Zhang Chun rebelled?" Wen Rensheng asked.
Xun You said: "As far as the students know, the rebellion at this time was due to the imperial court's arrears in paying the Wuhuan cavalry. Behind this was the collapse of the Han Dynasty's finances. And Zhang Chun's rebellion was because Zhang Chun For personal reasons, he once wanted to command the Wuhuan cavalry, but in the end he gave it to Gongsun Zan. He was dissatisfied with this, and then seized on the issue of food and wages to incite rebellion. "
Wen Rensheng nodded. Said: "Yes, the reason for all rebellions is actually financial issues. If the soldiers are fully paid, it is difficult for the soldiers to be incited. Everyone is not stupid, and they all know that rebellion is good for the leaders, but it does not do much good for themselves. But the risks are the same."
"The rebellion is absolutely true. The three tribes will be killed. If the leader succeeds in the rebellion, he can become the king. If he fails, he will just flee or recruit soldiers. They have to bear extremely high risks, and they may be beaten to death in the process. If they are too hungry, they are unwilling to follow the betrayal." Xun You nodded.
Lu Zhi also nodded.
In fact, the best way to deal with the Yellow Turbans is to directly tell the Yellow Turban thieves to open a warehouse and release food. As long as you surrender, you can take the food home. This will definitely make the Yellow Turban collapse by more than half.
But can it be done?
If we can do this, there won’t be so many thieves.
The imperial court could not afford so much food and salary, so it had no choice but to suppress it.
It’s still the same old story, you can’t solve problems, you can only solve people.
Lu Zhi felt disgusted for no reason.
The Han Dynasty was nothing more than this.
Wen Rensheng asked again: "Then what are we going to do?"
"Our soldiers fight for the people. And when they come in, they kill them. Break in. People are burning, killing and looting everywhere in the town, destroying production and commerce, seriously threatening our commercial and industrial security," Xun You said directly.
Everyone immediately understood that this was the main battle.
Lu Zhi also understood what it means to consider war from an economic perspective, rather than simply talking about rebellion and dignity.
That's good.
If you do this, you will not be led by the rebellion.
As a result, the people became poorer and poorer, and the poorer and poorer they became, and in the end they had no strength.
It’s completely over.
"Yes, we are going to war, and we cannot let him destroy the production and business environment of Jizhou and Youzhou."
"I am going to send 20,000 troops, divided into five front, middle, left, and rear armies. Each army should have 4,000 people. Destroy them with a majestic formation."
At this time, Lu Zhi couldn't help but said: "Master, the other party is a cavalry, coming and going without a trace. They make a living by looting and have no fixed location. How can we destroy them. ?”
Wen Rensheng smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, you have gone to a full military school and you should know which one is faster, the infantry or the cavalry?”
“If it’s a short distance, which one is faster? The cavalry is fast, but if it is a long distance, the infantry is faster. Of course, the infantry here is trained by us, not by the imperial court or the local power. Their infantry lacks nutrition, morale, and supplements, and it is not as good as the cavalry for long distances. " Lu Zhi said carefully.
"That's right, for the total march distance of seven days, the infantry must quickly dispatch the cavalry, because the horses need to rest and eat grass. Their endurance is much worse than that of humans. But our infantry is hardworking and able to run 120 miles a day and night. Road. ”
80 miles a day, 160 round trip.
It is normal to forcefully march 100 miles.
Of course this is the team he trained, not those feudal elites who train once every five days and are undernourished.
They can't compare with the speed of the cavalry.
No matter how bad the horses are, they can still outpace the infantry on a long march within seven days just by eating grass.
The cavalry can march more than 300 miles in a day, far exceeding the infantry, so the cavalry is good at raids, especially in the raid march formation, there are no infantry wearing armor or holding weapons.
Infantry was the most dangerous at that time.
On the contrary, there is no possibility of the cavalry being surprised unless they are too stupid.
