I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 453 One Hand Book, One Hand Sword
That is to pick up the wisdom of human teeth first, and use the method that Zhifu once used.

Isn't it shameful to imitate your ancestors?

Under Zhifu's proposition, the state of Jin had tortured the state of Chu for 30 years, which directly caused the state of Chu to lose its ability to expand, and fell into the dust from its heyday, so that it was beaten several times by the state of Wu.

Of course, Yuan State and Chu State have a border, but the border area is a bit embarrassing. It is destined that neither side will be able to use that place on a large scale, and choose that place as the starting point for the invasion.

The current state of Zheng and Song are still alive, which means that there is a third party on the route that is convenient for marching.

Yuan State and Chu State want to fight for life and death, should it be after Zheng State's demise?

Before that, Yuan Guo could lure the Chu army to go north again and again to consume Chu's national strength.

There is just one thing, and it must not be played around and become the model of Zhao Wu's implementation of the Jin Dynasty.

what mode?That is, when Zhifu was in power in Jin State, the Chu army was repeatedly lured northward; when Zhao Wu was in power in Jin State, the Jin army was repeatedly lured southward by Chu State.

In fact, it is also Jin who can effectively use more resources, otherwise it is hard to say who will be dragged down in the end.

Zhiyao's plan is to deplete the national power of Chu State first, then destroy Zheng State when the time is right, and control the heart of the Central Plains to eliminate Chu State again.

Of course, other methods can also be used, no matter which method, it can be said that Zheng Guo is one of the keys.

After the sky was completely bright, the two armies went out of their camps again.

The Yuan Army has more things to do, the first thing is to quickly improve the camp!
"So, this battle has changed and no longer pursues a quick battle?" Sun Wu asked.

Zhiyao always needs to give an explanation, saying: "There are so many Chu troops going north, so the loss of all parties must be great."

With a large army of about 30, they stay far away from their own country, so it is very difficult to supply themselves. Coupled with the long distance, how low can the transportation cost be?

There are more than 30 people on the expedition, which means that there is a shortage of more than 30 labor forces in the country. They are still consuming, and if they want to maintain military supplies, they will definitely need Chu to allocate additional manpower to form a supply team, which will definitely further reduce Chu's labor force. domestic labor force available.

Such one plus and one minus can be understood by anyone who knows how to count.

Sorry, there is no systematic mathematics subject in Chu State at present, right?It is possible that the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom did not understand it for a while, and they had to wait until they found that the national strength could not support them before they came back to their senses.

Sun Wu thought of other aspects, and said: "If the Chu army is short of supplies, our army may be able to carry out a complete annihilation!"

What does an army fear most?It must be a food shortage!
Difficulties from the enemy can still rely on will to persist. They are fighting the enemy desperately, and the supply in the rear cannot be maintained. Not many soldiers are willing to die with the enemy hungry.

Sun Tzu asked: "Is the cavalry newly transferred from China?"

There is a Chu army blocking the "Hulao" side. They are just making it more difficult for the original army to supply, and they will definitely find ways to harass the supply line of the guard in the future.

The Chu army is reckless relying entirely on its superiority in strength, and it is rare to even keep it secret.

The original country was at a disadvantage in terms of strength in the southern battlefield, and it was fundamentally relying on quality to offset the shortcoming of insufficient strength.

The arms of Chu State are relatively simple.

The country of origin is different.

"What the captain said is reasonable." Zhiyao had already sent someone back to recruit new cavalry troops.

In fact, Sun Wu relied entirely on his personal intelligence and experience, while Zhiyao was different.

There are too many battles in history that made Zhiyao understand the importance of interfering with the enemy's food supply. The closest to the current era is the Battle of Changping.

In that war of national strength, Bai Qi used [-] to [-] cavalry in an in-depth attempt to cut off the supply line of the Zhao army. If he could not completely solve the problem, he took advantage of the flexibility of the cavalry to harass the supply line of the Zhao army endlessly. The supply line can also force Zhao Jun's cavalry to be transferred to the rear, reducing the threat from Zhao Jun's cavalry on the frontal battlefield.

The original army was facing Chu, which had no cavalry, which meant that the rulers and ministers of Chu wanted to protect their own supply lines, so they must withdraw more troops to protect the supply lines.

They are not in front of the battle, who is in command of the battle?

Today the original army is commanded by Zhi Xuwu, with Zhikai, Cheng Wu, Zhiying, Zhilin, Yurang, and Jiqin as his deputies.

At the same time, it was also today that Zhikai finally got his wish, and was able to personally participate in the battle with the enemy, and maybe even have the opportunity to lead the army into battle.

It can be seen from Zhiyao's arrangement that it is clearly a way of bringing the old with the new.

Although the original country is a new country, many middle and high-level people are older. The training of the new generation should be done as early as possible, so that the old people will not withdraw from the stage of history one by one, resulting in a situation of lack of success.

Originally, Zhishi's situation would be better, for example, he had many disciples of Confucius.

However, too many things happened during this period, only about [-]% of the disciples of Confucius chose to stay in the original country, and the rest packed up and left.

Those who left included Zilu, Zigong, Ziyou, and Zixia. They either returned to their hometowns to continue their studies, or they chose to serve other princes.

It is a pity that Zilu and Zigong left. Otherwise, Zhiyao still hopes that Zilu will continue to shine in the army, Zigong can play a role in internal affairs, and even Ziyou or Zixia can contribute to Yuanguo's art. Make a contribution.

A long time ago, the state of Jin began to take the route of military fruitism, and everything started from the starting point of contributing to the military. How could there be any cultural atmosphere?

Therefore, the first cultural desert in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was not Qin, but Jin.

It's just that Jin has never suppressed commercial development.This is different from Qin State.

It is very gratifying to Zhiyao that Jae Yu stayed.

Zaiyu who was not favored by Confucius was really not a disgrace to the disciples, it was simply that the previous state of Lu and Confucius did not give Zaiyu a stage to display his talents.

Zaiyu, who was extremely eloquent, was highly valued in the original country. He was not only active on the stage of various diplomatic relations, but also took on the important task of ideological construction in the original country.

Zhiyao wants to change the dynasty, but only relying on force and tyranny to create a temporary and reluctant Yunei Hunyi. The route of spreading ideas must be established!

At present, Zaiyu and his staff are active in various parts of the original country. With the cooperation of local officials, they preach the suffering caused by the war and tell the people of the original country that they have the mission to end the war.

Regarding the mission, the people in Jindi have been taught a long time ago, and they basically have a sense of mission to end the war.

The tasks of Zaiyu and others are relatively detailed. They need to add some new things to the original sense of mission of the original people, which is the "destiny theory" created by Zhiyao.

To put it bluntly, the people of the original country are obliged to bring everyone of the same language and species to live a happy life, and then shine the light of Zhu Xia's civilization to those barren lands.

The stage for Zaiyu and others is not only within the original country, they also need to go to other countries to explain the pain caused by the war, and spread the established belief that no matter whether the people of Yuan country, Zheng country, Chu country, Yue country, etc., are of the same language and the same race. fact.

how to say?Zhiyao seems to be creating a "nation".

As for the creation of a "nation", there are not many successful examples in history. The Zhao family with the surname Ying did not succeed. Instead, it was done by the Little Pig Emperor in the Western Han Dynasty. Later, the founding king of the Sui Empire strengthened the "Han" nation. The fact of existence was reshaped once again in the Ming Empire.

The above all start with a sense of ideological identity, not simply using force to create a "nation".

The means of using force, the greatest achievement is to create a tyrannical empire for a while, what will happen after a short-lived, people who originally lived in the same country hate each other better than anyone else.

People of the same language and the same race have a sense of ideological identity. Even after the country is destroyed, they will still recognize the fact that they are the same nation.

This set of gameplay was played by Zhuxia in the Western Han Dynasty. It seems that it was only in the eighteenth century that the Germans on Europa figured it out?Bismarck only used this set of game rules to make the Junkers the masters of Germany without much effort.

The negative teaching materials are in southern Europe, and Iron Emperor expressed his dissatisfaction.

What Zhiyao has to do is to walk on both feet!

That's because of the lessons learned from the Qin Empire, which made Zhiyao very clear that just being tyrannical by force can only be cultivated for a while, and only by making up for mutual recognition can it be considered walking on two legs.

Just look at what Zhuxia looks like after walking on two legs. There is often a powerful and invincible dynasty in East Asia, and even if there are ups and downs, the culture can be passed on continuously.

Pretending to be a nation's civilization, isn't it?

Zhiyao felt that she could start with herself in advance.

Of course, everything is just the beginning, and there must be quite a lot of difficulties and ups and downs at first.

Zhiyao knows that without force as a guarantee, no matter how great the ideal is, it is a castle in the air.

Today, the original army is the passive side because of its inferior strength.

The so-called passiveness mainly means that the Chu army will move first, and the Yuan army will send out as many troops as needed to deal with it.

Not looking at other things, just judging from the development of the war situation, it really fits the situation that should have existed in the early Warring States period.

The two sides will have actions outside the battlefield, and they will not be able to see any tricks for the time being.

There is such a fact that even in the era of omnipotent use, there are not so many schemes in fact. Off-court tricks are more used in all aspects between countries. On the battlefield After all, it still relies on hard power.

There are really so many fairy tricks, and there will not be only so many battle examples that need to be talked about in military history.It is nothing more than the fact that there are too few successful examples, so it is more worthy of special mention.

"Most wars, where are there so many tricks?" Zhiyao listened to the battle reports from the front, and felt very interesting about some of her previous thoughts.

For example, since Luo Guanzhong who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was Zhang Shicheng's military adviser, why did Zhu Yuanzhang win the battle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?

So, Luo Guanzhong can write so many strategies, does it also mean that he is very thoughtful in strategy?Why didn't he play a role in turning the tide, so that Zhang Shicheng was defeated?

In particular, Zhang Shicheng surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang's possessions in terms of strength at the beginning, using the strong to defeat the weak, and with Luo Guanzhong and Shi Naian as a master and apprentice, Zhang Shicheng still suffered a terrible defeat?

If they had heard that, Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong would have said innocently in the name of military advisors: "I'm just a writer of novels. I'm just a literary worker, and I really can't save the building from falling. .”

After reading a part of the novel, Zhang Shicheng had great expectations for his master and apprentice: "..."

Zhiyao, who doesn't want to interfere at all if there is no major situation, feels that today passes quickly.

After fighting on and off throughout the day, it was not considered a high-intensity battle, and the casualties on both sides were actually not too many.

"How do you feel today?" Zhiyao specially called Zhikai to have some questions and answers.

Zhikai said truthfully: "It's really different from the boy's imagination."

What imagination?
People who have not actually participated in the war, they have a lot of imagination about the war, such as blood, glory, etc., but lack of cruelty and boring.

With Zhikai's identity, it is estimated that he won't feel too much about cruelty?

Today, Zhikai, who personally leads a "teacher", either moves places frequently, or stays in one place for a long time when he stops, and he should be able to experience the tormenting and boring.

"Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed." Zhiyao said one of Sun Wu's military books, and there are similar warning words in his own writings.

I don't know if Zhikai's ambition was spent in one battle, or he became more mature, most likely because he was tired, and he really didn't have the extra activity in the past. After listening to it, he nodded seriously to express his understanding.

Zhiyao also asked Zhikai about some of his feelings on the battlefield, gave answers or taught them one by one, and then said: "This battle may be protracted? If you can stand alone, being a father does not mean that you can lead the army alone. "

Once the war will be fought for a long time, it will inevitably expand from the current battlefield where the main force gathers to the surrounding areas, and then create multiple local battlefields on a large scale.This is different from other wars. Generally, multiple local battlefields are contested first, and finally there is a main battlefield where the main forces are tit-for-tat.

Zhi Kai immediately showed a happy expression, and said: "I will not disappoint my father!"

Zhiyao said: "Go down."

People always need more experience to become more mature.

In the past, Zhiyao was busy with other things, and most of the education for Zhikai focused on cultural lessons, and there was no cultivation of human sophistication, and it was really difficult to accompany her all the time to answer questions.

"Each generation of princes with the Zhao family's Ying surname will go through hardships. They will either be exiled, or they will be held as hostages in other countries. Only then will there be successive generations of Ming emperors. Should I follow suit?" Zhiyao thought about this more than once.

The problem is that Zhiyao feels that she has done so much, and the current situation in the world can also use force to achieve the condition of the unity of the universe. It seems that it does not take several generations to unify?
"Maybe we can learn from the pattern after Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty." This is not the first time Zhiyao has copied homework from the Western Han Dynasty, and she feels that she needs to think carefully about this matter.

How sad is it to not pay attention to the successor, the first generation created an empire, and the second generation Guo Zuo perished?
