Reborn Wu Dalang

"If you want to win by surprise, the most important thing is to understand the enemy's combat intentions, understand the enemy's marching route, and then formulate corresponding combat plans based on the enemy's combat intentions and marching route." Hua Rong said.

Hua Rong has studied the art of war painstakingly over the years, so he naturally has his own views on "surprising victory", and his views are basically the same as Wu Dong's.

Wu Dong nodded and said: "So that is to say, investigation and investigation are very important. In normal times, we need to know the information of the enemy generals, their personality, military habits, family members, etc., and even You need to know how the relationship between the enemy generals is, whether there are any conflicts between them, etc. During the battle, you have to send a large number of scouts to understand the enemy's marching route, and then make targeted responses... These are the reasons why I established intelligence Department, and the reason for sending a large number of masters to the intelligence department."

Now the intelligence department is a very important unit in the Koryo war zone. Zhu Gui is the director of the intelligence department. The twelve Shaolin monks are all in the intelligence department. A large amount of money is distributed to the investigation department every year for the expenses of the intelligence department.There are 1000 people under the intelligence department. In addition to Liangshan's own personnel, there are also a large number of Korean employees. This scale is definitely ranked first in this era.

Before Wu Dong attached so much importance to the intelligence department, some officers did not think so, but now Wu Dong pointed out the importance of the intelligence department to the officers, and the reason why he attached so much importance to the intelligence department.

"Surprise victory is just a short term. In addition to surprise victory, there are many important rules of using troops." Wu Dong said.

Next, Wu Dong began to explain in detail. What he said were all modern military ideas that could be used in the cold weapon era.

"Never fight unprepared battles, don't fight unsure battles, strive to be prepared for each battle, and strive to be sure of victory under the conditions of the enemy and ourselves..."

"Be prepared for war at all times, be prepared for war at all times..."

"Fight the scattered and isolated enemies first, and then the concentrated and powerful ones... That is to say, we must pick the soft persimmons first. You have to fight the hard ones first. If you can't beat them, the soft ones will become hard ones. Hit the soft ones first, the soft ones will be eliminated, and the hard ones will become soft." Wu Dong said.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, but it also felt very reasonable, that's what happened.If you fight the weaker ones first, the morale of the enemy will definitely be greatly affected after the fight is over, and the stronger ones will also become weaker as a result.And if you hit the hard one first, if you can't hit it, the weaker enemies will also be encouraged, and they will even grow from weak to strong.

"For troops fighting independently, whether the commander can act decisively and flexibly control the enemy according to the battlefield tasks and conditions can often play a decisive role in the battle situation. The battlefield is ever-changing, and many major issues require personally experienced troops. In order for a commander to make an accurate judgment, he needs to adapt to the situation and deal with it decisively. To be able to do this, firstly, he needs to learn the art of war a lot, and secondly, he needs to be tempered in actual combat. In this Jeju campaign, Hu Sanniang, the head of the women's column, You did a good job, you really put the art of war into practice." Wu Dong said again.

After Wu Dong said this, he looked down and saw that Hu Sanniang was also there. Hu Sanniang's face was slightly red, and she couldn't help lowering her head. Wu Dong was secretly amused.

"What I just talked about is how to deal with independent combat units. For centralized operations of large corps, a high degree of unity in command must be achieved, which requires close internal unity. In order to win the war, some troops even need to take the initiative to make sacrifices. Only in this way can we achieve unity of action and coordination of actions. With a united iron fist to fight against an enemy full of contradictions, even if the enemy's military strength exceeds ours and the quality of the enemy's soldiers surpasses ours, we can still win." Wu Dong said.

After Wu Dong finished speaking, Hua Rong and the others fell into deep thought and nodded at the same time. They felt that Wu Dong's words contained profound principles of the art of war, which would be very important for large-scale battles in the future.

"As an officer, as a general, we must ask ourselves every day, what if there is an enemy in front of me, what should I do if there is an enemy on my side? If the enemy outnumbers us, how should we use the terrain, use the You have to think about the weather, using strategies to win, and so on every day, so that you won't be at a loss on the battlefield." Wu Dong said.

The generals below nodded one after another. They used to only know how to train soldiers. Although they occasionally learned the art of war, they rarely thought about problems actively, so they sometimes didn't know what to do when they were on the battlefield.What Wu Dong said was very simple and easy to understand, but it made them suddenly see the light.

Wu Dong talked for a full hour, all about military thoughts and theories, and then Hua Rong gave a lecture. Hua Rong talked about his two military experience, his thoughts at that time, and why he decided to Use troops like that and so on.

After Huarong finished speaking, Yang Zhi began to give a lecture.Yang Zhi is a descendant of the Yang family general, and the Yang family general was well-known in the Song Dynasty, so Yang Zhi also has a high prestige in the army.Yang Zhi told everyone some key points of combat and art of war left by the predecessors of the Yang family.

The three talked for the whole morning, and then ordered the students to leave.

Now there is only half a day of class every day, and these "students" return to their respective troops in the afternoon to continue training soldiers.Classes are fine, but students cannot be disengaged from the military.

"Chairman, you are really a god. I have benefited a lot from what I said today." After class, Hua Rong came to Wu Dong and said sincerely.

"I'm just talking on paper. I'm far inferior to you in terms of how to lead troops. I hope that after you learn these things, you can use them on the battlefield and continue to make meritorious deeds for Liangshan." Wu Dong laughed. It is the military thinking of later generations, and he just repeated it.

"It's natural." Hua Rong also laughed.

In the next month, the military academy gave lectures to these officers every day. These officers improved rapidly. At least in theory, they have far surpassed ordinary officers and generals. When they come to the battlefield in the future, if these theories can be used in practice , even if they really grow up.

During this period, Hu Sanniang also gave a few lectures. She talked about how she used troops in the Jeju war, how to adapt to the situation and so on.

When Hu Sanniang was lecturing, Wu Dong always listened to the class below, every time Wu Dong found that Hu Sanniang didn't dare to look at him, and when he stared at Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang's face always turned red.

"This young lady, could it be that she really likes me?" Wu Dong couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.

******

It was more than September, and the weather turned cold. In the middle of the night, in the city lord's mansion, Wu Dong and Li Shishi were together.Wu Dong is studying the content of tomorrow's lecture. The knowledge of later generations is too much and too cumbersome. He needs to summarize something that is really useful before he can teach it to those officers.

Li Shishi sat aside to help Wu Dong, she is now Wu Dong's secret.

Seeing that everything was about to be finished, Li Shishi said: "Husband, Miss Hu really likes you... But after knowing your identity, she is a little afraid to see you."

During this period of time, Li Shishi and Hu Sanniang often came and went, and the two had already become sisters.With Li Shishi's intelligence and wisdom, it is easy to figure out Hu Sanniang's views on Wu Dong.Moreover, Li Shishi and Mrs. Gu also talked for a while, and they also investigated the reason why Hu Sanniang ran away from home.

"Oh? Is this true?" Wu Dong said casually without paying much attention to it.

Hu Sanniang is good, but in Wu Dong's eyes, she is still just a girl who hasn't grown up.In this era, girls at the age of sixteen or seventeen can get married, but Wu Dong is deeply influenced by the ideas of later generations, so he doesn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, Li Shishi invited Hu Sanniang to the City Lord's Mansion and brought him in front of Wu Dong.

When he saw Hu Sanniang, Wu Dong was stunned.Hu Sanniang was blushing, and said softly: "Chairman."

"Don't call me Chairman... Why do I feel so awkward when you call me that?" Wu Dong smiled wryly.

"What do you call you?" Hu Sanniang asked.

"Why don't you just call me Brother Wu." Wu Dong said.

"That's good, Brother Wu." Hu Sanniang said shyly.

Li Shishi walked out at this time, saying that he was serving tea for the two of them. Wu Dong sat there, a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

He didn't know Hu Sanniang well at all, but only met a few times in Hu's house. At that time, because Hu Sanniang was so aggressive, he "taught" Hu Sanniang a little bit. Other than that, he didn't say a few words.

It was really uncomfortable, Hu Sanniang didn't speak, Wu Dong didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, Wu Dong said, "San Niang, is your name San Niang?"

Ordinarily, "Sanniang" is not a name at all, but a title, which means that she is the third child of the Hu family, and there are two older brothers on top.This title is like "Sister-in-law Gu", "Aunt Li", "Uncle Liu" and so on. Hu Sanniang's real name is definitely not this.

Hu Sanniang felt strange, her face turned red first, then she turned her head to look into the distance, not daring to look directly at Wu Dong.

After a long time, Wu Dong became impatient with waiting, and thought he would not say anything if he didn't want to. At this moment, Hu Sanniang suddenly said: "My name is Hu Yu."

Wu Dong nodded and said, "So it's Hu Yu...a good name."

At this moment, Hu Sanniang was a little restless, even a little anxious, holding the skirt of her clothes with both hands, looking at a loss.Wu Dong was extremely surprised, wondering what happened to Hu Sanniang.

But he didn't know that the names of ancient women were deeply hidden, and it was impossible to tell others easily.Generally, it can only be announced when the husband's family performs the ceremony of "asking the name" when the marriage is engaged.If a man asks a woman's boudoir name, it is impolite, even flirtatious.Or it can be said that a man is interested in a woman and "asks for her name" privately, and will be hired to marry in the future.

Hu Sanniang, Gu Dasao, Sun Erniang, etc. in Water Margin, etc., did not have names, but as women, in that era, names were generally known only to close relatives, and other people could not tell them casually.

How could Wu Dong understand this truth?His two current wives, Pan Jinlian was originally a maidservant of a wealthy family, "Jinlian" was a pet name given by the master, so there is no secret about it, and Li Shishi was originally from a brothel with a great reputation, "Shi Shi" These two words are also widely known.Hu Sanniang's family is a standard daughter of a thousand gold, so her name is naturally hidden, so she can't tell others at will.

Now that Wu Dong has asked and Hu Sanniang has said, the significance of it is no small matter.
