Han Dao world

The reason why the Han army won less and lost more in battles out of the fortress was not that the Han army could not beat the Xianbei people, but that the Han army could not adapt to the grassland, was defeated by insufficient logistics, or simply got lost.

If the Han army can really adapt to the grassland as Lu Bu said, and be more like the Hulu than the Hulu, the victory or defeat is self-evident.

Liu Xie and Lu Bu agreed that you choose people who are willing to endure hardships and strengthen training, and I will try my best to provide you with excellent equipment so that you can have stronger combat effectiveness with fewer troops.

Lu Bu readily agreed, hoping to make an attempt in autumn and winter.

He carefully selected more than 100 riders, some of them were from his old troops, some were newly recruited outlaws, and many of them were horse thieves on the prairie.Some of them were old acquaintances with Lu Bu, and when they heard that Lu Bu was going to return to his old career as a horse thief with the support of the imperial court, and went to the grassland to rob barbarians, they all came happily.

The selection criteria for these people is very high, at least they must be able to open a crossbow, six crossbows, seven hits in ten rounds within a hundred steps, proficient in knives, spears and other weapons, and can ride and ride.Not only that, but also be able to endure hunger and hunger, and when necessary, you can run long distances without eating or drinking.

As for identifying the direction and tracking the opponent on the grassland, it is a necessary skill.

Lu Bu worked hard and was full of confidence. He wanted to become famous in one battle and become the sharpest long sword in the hands of the emperor.

In order to show that I am not bragging, I specially arranged a drill for my subordinates today. The opponent is the Habayashi Cavalry led by Zhang Xiu.

There are more than a thousand Yulin cavalry, Zhang Xiu said that he should not bully people too much, so he only sent [-] cavalry to chase and intercept, and his personal guard general Zhang Wei commanded them instead of sending out horses himself.

But he soon realized that he was careless. These horse thieves were stronger than he had imagined, and they were as slippery as fish.The knights galloped from side to side on horseback, almost every shot was sure to hit, and their riding skills were so good that they seemed to be integrated with the horses, making all kinds of dazzling movements, even when changing horses. Slow down and jump directly from one warhorse to another.

They are no longer practicing, but performing.

Unfortunately, Yu Linqi became the background board, Zhang Xiu's face turned pale with anger, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and vowed to clean up these useless things after returning to the camp.

The exercise ended with Zhang Wei being surrounded, he stood up alone and picked three knights in a row, and finally fought against Lu Bu and was captured, which finally saved Zhang Xiu a little face.

Liu Xie also found that Lu Bu's personal martial arts had improved significantly.Now that Guo Si is alive, if he fights Lv Bu one-on-one, he probably won't have a chance to survive again.

Unlike Lu Bu in the novel, in reality, Lu Bu's best martial art is not assault with a spear-although this is not weak at all-but riding and shooting. He is a real marksman, with a three-stone hard bow, he can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps.

To put it bluntly, he has a strong nomadic combat style, mainly riding and shooting.Now it has made up for some deficiencies in spear assault, and has filled up all the skills. It deserves to be the strongest.

Only Zhao Yun can compete with him in all aspects, and the others are either slightly inferior in archery or spearmanship.

With one against three and an easy victory, Lu Bu was still unsatisfied, and asked to compete with the scattered cavalry for a round to show his true strength.

Liu Xie vetoed it.

The current training results have met his requirements, there is no need to try again.The task of casual riders is not to rob on the grasslands. The training goals are different and the standards are also different, so there is no value in competition.

It's really a comparison, let these knights try to ride the shock armor and see who is stronger.

"Marquis Wen, make preparations and go on an expedition, ending at Langjuxu Mountain, and see what you can gain."

"Wei!" Lu Bu excitedly agreed, and then made another request. "Your Majesty, can I take my daughter Xiaohuan with me?"

"What are you taking her for?" Liu Xie was puzzled.

"In two years, Xiaohuan will be an adult. I hope she can make some military achievements before she becomes an adult. Although the training in the women's battalion is hard, there is no chance of actual combat. It is very difficult to make meritorious service."

Liu Xie vetoed it.

You protect the calf too obviously. These people were selected to perform special operations missions, not to promote your daughter.

Having been vetoed by the emperor twice in a row, Lu Bu was a little embarrassed.

Chapter 466

At the end of the exercise, Lu Bu arranged for his subordinates to rest and prepare for the expedition.

Langjuxu Mountain is located in Mobei. It is the place where Huo Qubing conquered the Xiongnu and set up stones to record his achievements.The emperor chose this place as the location of the first expedition, which had obvious implications, and Lu Bu did not dare to take it lightly.

If this battle is successful, he can not only make meritorious service, but also create a new method of warfare, which combines the advantages of Li Guang and Wei Huo, and will be famous in history.

After repeatedly instructing his subordinates to prepare well, Lu Bu returned to the camp and sent someone to invite Mrs. Wei back to the camp.

Mrs. Wei was also very happy to learn that Lv Bu was about to go on an expedition, and gave Lv Bu some rare encouragement.

Lu Bu felt a little regretful. "It's a pity that Xiaohuan can't accompany him."

When Mrs. Wei heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. "Confused, how can Xiaohuan accompany you?"

"Why not?" Lu Bu was puzzled. "What a good opportunity to do meritorious service? If you win..."

"What if we lose?" Mrs. Wei interrupted Lu Bu angrily. "This is the first attempt, and the difficulty is far greater than you imagined. What you are sure about now is the confrontation, but on the grassland, the biggest difficulty is not to defeat the opponent in battle, but to find the opponent. If you can't find the opponent, you In order to survive, I will..."

Mrs. Wei paused, and gave Lu Bu a hard look. "How can Xiaohuan participate in such a war? After all, she is also a woman, and she will marry someone in the future. A woman, following a group of horse thieves to survive on the grassland, is it good to spread the word?"

Lu Bu opened his mouth, but didn't dare to answer.

He was no stranger to the life of a horse thief, and he knew what would happen in the face of life and death.

"You think things are too simple." Mrs. Wei stretched out her finger and poked Lu Bu's forehead fiercely. "Soldiers, the important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, how can you take it lightly? If you don't take it seriously, don't go at all. Anyway, you have a title, take the time to give birth to a son..."

Lu Bu quickly interrupted Mrs. Wei, and said seriously: "The emperor trusts me and entrusts me with a heavy responsibility. How can I let the emperor down?"

Mrs. Wei gave Lu Bu a blank look, suppressed a smile, and poked Lu Bu's heart with her finger. "Then keep the book you have read in your heart, don't just talk about it. The first sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War is the eyes of the whole book, how can it be a joke."

Lu Bu couldn't help being surprised. "Ma'am, I'm wondering too. Why did you study the Art of War? Could it be that you also want to be a female general?"

"What kind of female general am I? I'm too old to draw a bow or lift a knife. It's Mr. Xun Gui who has nothing to do and reads some art of war. I listened to a few words and thought it made sense. Tsk tsk, you are indeed a son of a noble family." , that is, knowing how to read and knowing everything.”

Lu Bu was very curious and asked Mrs. Wei to tell him about it.

He has put a lot of effort into reading recently, and he feels that he has benefited a lot.But after listening to Jia Xu's talk, I realized that my reading was really just reading, and I didn't understand the essence of it at all.Now that Mrs. Wei said that Xun Gui could read, she naturally wanted to learn two tricks.

Mrs. Wei told Lu Bu some things she had heard when she was with Mr. Xun Gui. For example, the first sentence of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was ignored by many people as general remarks.Mrs. Wei was also like this at the time. After listening to Mr. Xun Gui, she realized that the first sentence is the outline of the outline and the eyes of the whole book.If you don't understand this sentence, the rest of the book will be in vain.

The most typical example is Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo can memorize the art of war upside down, and his actual command ability is also very good-after all, he can command hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to fight against Bai Qi for 46 days. This caused him to fall into Bai Qi's trap, resulting in a fiasco.

If Zhao Kuo could have realized the meaning of this battle before, not to attack hastily, but to be more cautious, the result of this battle between Qin and Zhao is likely to be different.

After talking about Zhao Kuo, Mrs. Wei started to play freely again. "Tell me, if the Son of Heaven leads Bingliang's army to advance eastward at this moment, will he be able to defeat Yuan Shao?"

Lu Bu thought about it carefully. "There should be a fifty to sixty percent chance."

"You only see a [-]% to [-]% chance of success, but what the emperor sees is a [-]% to [-]% chance of failure. Once defeated, Bingliang's newly recovered vitality may be destroyed. Therefore, the emperor is not in a hurry to send troops, but Wait patiently until the [-]% to [-]% chance becomes [-]% to [-]% chance, then becomes [-]% to [-]% chance, and finally becomes foolproof.”

Lu Bu laughed dumbfoundedly. "Since it is a battle, there must be risks. How can there be foolproof?"

"So you are you, and the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven. Although you are known as the Flying General, you were defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si, and you had to flee to Kanto. After traveling here and there for several years, you returned in embarrassment. Guo Si won the great victory in Huayin, but he was not in a hurry to advance eastward, but wandered around to gather strength and wait for a chance to win in a single battle."

Lv Bu was furious when Mrs. Wei exposed the past, turned around and stopped talking to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei walked behind Lu Bu, hugged his waist, and pressed her face against his back. "Okay, okay, I just want you to be careful and not to be too careless. This expedition, to put it mildly, is your own future. To put it more broadly, it is an attempt by the big man to revive his ambition. The emperor will If the opportunity is given to you, you must seize it tightly.”

"Yes." Lu Bu shook Mrs. Wei's hand and nodded slightly.

-

The night is dark, and a single lamp is bright.

Liu Xie stood in front of the big tent map, motionless.

Although it has been collected and sorted out with great care, the map of Mobei is still blank. Even the mountains and rivers marked can't guarantee the accuracy, it can only be said to be rough.

Whether Lu Bu's expedition can go smoothly, Liu Xie actually has no idea.The blind optimism shown by Lu Bu made him dare not place too high hopes.Due to limited conditions, the items that can be verified are limited, and more problems need to be discovered and adjusted during the march.

It is almost certain that this expedition to Langjuxu Mountain will encounter many problems. If they can be recorded in detail, it will be precious information.But whether Lu Bu can notice these problems, and whether he can pay attention to them is really hard to say.

The best way is to arrange for Lu Bu to join the army. In addition to being responsible for providing advice, he must also record the things encountered along the way, the more detailed the better.Considering the conditions during the march and unable to write in time, this person needs to have an excellent memory.

"Is there anyone with a good memory in Shangshutai and Lantai?" Liu Xie turned around, walked back to the desk and sat down, and asked Cai Yan casually.

"Your Majesty needs a secretary who goes out with Marquis Wen?"

"Ah."

"Shangshutai and Lantai have people with good memories, but they may not be able to adapt to this kind of military life, and they may not be able to understand which things are worth remembering during the march and which things are not. It is better to choose one of Jia Shizhong's disciples."

"Who?"

Cai Yan smiled and remained silent.

After Liu Xielue thought about it, he understood what Cai Yan meant.

Huang Yi is indeed a suitable candidate. He is smart, well-read, and able to endure hardships. Jia Xu has praised him several times.

Of course, Huang Yi is a rare role model.

The children of the Huang family in Jiangxia can all serve the court and become talents with both civil and military skills. What qualifications do other scholars have to make irresponsible remarks?

Those who say they can't do it, not because they can't, but because they don't do it.

The reason why they don't do it is because they haven't suffered a lot, they haven't been beaten by the society, and they still want to use their three-inch tongue to persuade the public officials to pick up bruises.

"Call Huang Yi."

"Now?" Cai Yan was a little surprised.

"Now." Liu Xie said: "1 years is too long, just seize the day."

Chapter 467

Huang Yi is not in the student camp today.

After the exercise was over and all the staff had a day off, Huang Yi returned to the camp where Yuan Heng lived, reunited with Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng, and chatted some gossip.

Huang Yi also participated in the exercise today.After Jiang Jiong divided his troops, he was on the left wing, was attacked by Han Shaoying and Lu Xiaohuan, and was almost trampled by the horses.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, rolled on the spot, got up immediately, and was dragged onto the horse by his companions.

At that time, I broke out in a cold sweat, but talking about it now, it was a very proud thing.

He didn't expect that he would have such agility, and he reacted almost subconsciously. When he woke up, he was already sitting on the horseback.Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng were also greatly surprised.Huang Yi used to be a modest gentleman, following the gentle manners like jade, never thought that one day he would become a knight who could jump on a galloping horse.

Of course, it is also conceivable how much hardship and injury he has suffered in the past few months in order to develop such a good martial art.

Yuan Quan looked at him with admiration, and there was a little more warmth in his eyes.

The whole family talked and didn't go back to their tents to rest until it was dark.

As soon as he took off his clothes, Cao Ang, the servant of Sanqi, came and conveyed the emperor's oral order, ordering Huang Yi to see him immediately.

Huang Yi still hesitated.He has endured so long in the student camp, it is rare for him to rest for half a day today, and he will return to the camp tomorrow morning, so being recruited by the emperor at this time will not affect the relationship between husband and wife.

Yuan Quan reacted very quickly, and immediately helped Huang Yi put on his clothes, and after a few more instructions, he pushed him out of the tent.

"Be careful, maybe your chance has come." When leaving the account, Yuan Quan whispered a few words in Huang Yi's ear.

Huang Yi also reacted, cheered up, and followed Cao Ang out of the camp.The two were old acquaintances, and they talked a few words along the way.Although Cao Ang couldn't say why the emperor recruited Huang Yi, he could make Huang Yi understand that it was not a bad thing, and he felt much more at ease.

Come to the big account, sign up and see you, and come to the emperor.

Cai Yan gave him a look, Huang Yi understood, and stepped forward to salute.

Liu Xie gave him a seat, asked about Huang Yi's recent situation, and then talked about the current situation.

Huang Yi organized his language a little bit, and talked freely.

The students Jia Xu recruited were not just generals who commanded troops in combat, but also generals who were also responsible for teaching. Therefore, the content taught was not limited to the art of war and tactics, but also a lot of strategic content.These were originally intended to make Liangzhou people realize the significance of the current situation to Liangzhou, and let Liangzhou people establish their self-consciousness as the foundation of a great man, but it was Huang Yi, a Kanto native, who benefited the most.

Huang Yi studied Confucian classics since he was a child, and his longing was to educate the common people, and Jiangxia Huang's family was different from the Ruying family, more pragmatic, and a typical meritorious school.Huang Yi hadn't been an official before, so his thoughts were different from those of the scholars who Shang Qing talked about.Now being tired by Yuan Shu, he has become a hostage with no way out, and he can feel the importance of force even more.

In his opinion, the correct way to open up Master Wang is to educate and educate the brave soldiers to become the elites who fight for the court and conquer the world.

The sage once said that to not teach the people to fight is to abandon them.But many people confine their teaching to military technology, not etiquette and morality. Today, the Son of Heaven teaches Bingliang soldiers not only how to fight, but also why to fight. This is undoubtedly closer to the original intention of the saint.

Only such a master could be the division of benevolence and righteousness led by King Wu of Zhou, not just the division of tiger and wolf led by King Qin.

Huang Yi was a little cautious at the beginning, but later he became a little excited when he spoke, revealing a bit of his original bookishness.Cai Yan saw it in his eyes, and was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out to remind him, so he could only rush to write.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, even a little surprised.

Huang Yi's point of view coincides with his, and Huang Yi's change is exactly the change he expected.

It's just a pity that Huang Yi's encounter has its own particularity, it is difficult to replicate, and it cannot become the mainstream in a short time.

But being an example is enough.

Liu Xie immediately put forward his plan and asked Huang Yi's attitude.

Knowing that the emperor intends to let him go to Langjuxu Mountain with Lu Bu, Huang Yi was surprised at first, and then doubted.

"Your Majesty, I take the liberty to say that I have some doubts."

Liu Xie encouraged: "The speaker is not guilty."

"Why is it Langjuxu Mountain, not Yanran Mountain? Yanran Mountain is in the west, closer to the four counties in Hexi. If it can be wiped out, it will help reopen the Western Regions. Langjuxu Mountain is far east of Longcheng and north of the desert. It seems unlikely to affect northern Xinjiang."

Liu Xie nodded slightly.

Huang Yi was able to consider Yanran Mountain's protective effect on the four counties in Hexi, so it can be seen that Jia Xu's praise is not groundless.This is a scholar who already has a certain strategic vision, and is no longer limited to a small area in front of him.
