I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110, Liu Bei who brought disaster to Chiyu
In addition to training Modao heavy infantry, Xu Wei also attaches great importance to the manufacture of sand tables. He used the spare time of training to find a few senior carpenters and asked them to help him make scale models. Xu Wei said that these carpenters immediately understood Now, start making small models one by one.Then Xu Wei found several craftsmen who made pottery.

Xu Wei instructed them to make out the general terrain, mountains, and rivers around Mayi with clay mud, and the carpenter placed models representing military camps, warehouses, forts, and county towns in the sand table. In a few days, the sand table centered on Mayi was roughly created.

This sand table is very simple, and the place with the highest accuracy is Mayi. There are even every street in Mayi on the sand table, but the farther away the place, the lower the accuracy. When it comes to Qiangyin County, it can only be represented by a model of the county. it's gone.

From Xu Weilai's point of view, the accuracy of the sand table is about the same as the map in "The Legend of Cao Cao".It is better than the simple map of this world, at least here you can see the terrain, know where there are mountains, where are plains, rivers, and the location of cities is more conspicuous.

But with such a simple model, Wang Lei and the others were stunned when they saw it. This is simply a small world. For military newbies like Wang Lei and the others, the map is simply incomprehensible, so they can only rely on guesswork or on-site inspection .With this sand table, they finally understood what the surroundings of Mayi looked like.

Zhang Baiqi and the others were even more shocked. How many people could have been saved with this sand table when they started an incident!
Xu Wei looked at their shocked expressions and said with a smile: "With this sand table, we can use spies to grasp every move of the enemy, and we can better understand the enemy's intentions."

Wang Ke said excitedly: "With such a treasure, if you march and fight, you can know yourself and the enemy, and you will have a [-]% chance of winning!"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "Battles still have to be fought by people. The sand table can only allow everyone to count more and avoid some detours. At the same time, it can also cultivate the general's view of the overall situation. In the future, everyone can deduce military operations on this sand table. That's a lot, everyone has to stand on the enemy's side and rehearse all their ideas on this sand table, so that we have a plan for the enemy's actions!"

joke!Sandbox games are Xu Wei's favorite, such as "Red Alert", "Three Kingdoms" and "Iron Heart".

Thinking of this, Xu Wei found that the sand table is still the best tool for training officers. Who would not like such a sand table game?It's just that such a game requires many people to assist, especially people who are proficient in arithmetic.

Xu Wei remembers a long time ago that he had a novel where the main character created a sandbox game league in ancient times. The country where the main character is located even used this method to select generals. He seems to be able to learn this method, and thinking about it, Wang Lei and the others will also like it very much. Such a teaching method!
Thinking of this, Xu Wei felt as if he wanted to make some models to represent cavalry, infantry and other arms!This world is so boring, I can play with myself when I have nothing to do.

wrong!It is to cultivate Wang Lei's commanding ability!
"However, this sand table is still very crude, you can take a look, what is different from what you see, let's continue to modify this sand table"

Wang Lei immediately pointed to a place and said: "I have been to Wuzhou, the mountain situation here is not like this, we need to change it here."

After speaking, he carefully modified the mountains near Wuzhou!
"It's not right here in Qiangyin. Yanze Lake is too big, and the fortress we built in Qiangyin has not been built up, nor has the Great Wall here!"

"Here are several tribes to be displayed on the sand table!"

"What about Khantan Mountain? Why didn't you show Khantan Mountain? Isn't the sand table created to deal with the Xianbei people? What's the point of not adding them to the sand table.

In this way, with everyone's little corrections, everyone is also very interested in modifying the sand table, as if watching a small world slowly take shape in their hands, the sand table is modified and perfected little by little, and the accuracy is getting higher and higher.

Zhongping three years (186), July.

Youzhou, Daijun, Tuntian Xiaowei Mansion!
Xu Weineng knew that the Xianbei people were gathering, and Liu Bei and the others naturally knew about it very quickly. He was even more nervous than Xu Wei.

At any rate, Mayi is more than 400 miles away from Khantan Mountain, but Dai County is within the sphere of influence of Khantan Mountain after leaving the Great Wall.

I don't know what Tan Shihuai thought at the beginning, but the Khan Court was placed at the gate of the border of the Han Dynasty, face to face with the Hu Karasuma Captain's Mansion of the Han Dynasty, and he was not afraid of being stolen by the Han Dynasty.

So the pressure on Liu Bei is even greater now, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people are outside his territory, gathering with malicious intentions, why is he not worried!
So he summoned the senior officials of Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion to discuss how to deal with the actions of the Xianbei people!

Jian Yong was the first to speak: "It is unlikely that Helian will come to deal with us. It will not take so many cavalry to rob Dai County. Only by robbing Lei Gong's Mayi will it be enough to feed the Xianbei people!"

Liu Bei said seriously: "But even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, we must be careful!"

Guan Yu also said: "Even if He Lian really wants to deal with Lei Gong, he may not send out a partial army to defeat us and then enter Mayi! Brother must find a way to inform Liu Shijun that we must arm the field soldiers to defend the border of Youzhou. At the very least, more than 3 troops must be mobilized to protect ourselves.”

The field soldiers in Daijun only had their own farm tools and no weapons at all. Of course, Liu Bei didn't dare to give weapons.

Of course, Liu Bei's subordinates are not completely without armed forces. When he was in the field, Liu Yu gave him 5000 county soldiers to guard the 10 captives in the field. After Liu Bei came to Dai County, he recruited 3000 Karasuma cavalry.

This is already the strongest military force in Youzhou, but it is a pity that facing the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei cavalry who are about to go south, it is still a drop in the bucket, so they have to recruit soldiers to strengthen the defense.

It's just that people are easy to recruit, but weapons are difficult to solve. Liu Bei wants to arm them, and the weapons can only rely on the help of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou.

Because in the current Youzhou, only the arsenals of the counties can equip 10 people with weapons and ordnance, and Liu Bei is just a 2000 shi Tuntian school lieutenant, it is impossible to command the prefects of the counties to equip him with weapons. He can only rely on the help of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, otherwise, even if he summons 10 soldiers to garrison the fields, he can only deal with the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of Helian with his bare hands.

Zhang Fei said loudly: "Brother, instead of sitting still and waiting for death, we should take the initiative to attack and use our 3000 cavalry to rush to Khandan Mountain. After killing Helian, there will be no such thing!"
