Chapter 154 Hongnong Yang Hui

Tongguan Guancheng, after a day of cleaning, no traces of war can be seen anymore.It's just that the air in the pass is filled with a faint smell of blood.

Occasionally, there are black spots left on the walls of houses on both sides of the street, as well as traces of knives and axes that have not been cleaned up on the walls, as if to tell that a tragic battle has just passed here!

Groups of dejected captives from the Qin army, stripped of their armor and bare-handed, were escorted by teams of soldiers from the Wei army to the outside of Tongguan.

Just when Wei Jun escorted the prisoners to leave Tongguan, a large amount of food, return guns and crossbow arrows, stone bombs, and some corpse oil extracted from Qin Jun's corpses were also brought in from Tongguan City. With enough blood shed in Tongguan, Ran Ming can say that he will do anything.

Ran Ming also ordered the troops to cut down all the trees and bushes around Tongguan to clear the space and leave enough vision!
Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, and its defensive focus is on enemies from the Central Plains. Therefore, Tongguan obviously does not have the defense capabilities that match its reputation against threats from the direction of Guanzhong.

After Ran Ming realized this problem, he quickly sent people to let more than [-] captives build two small guard forts on the official road leading to the Central Plains in Sanbao and Duancun. Guancheng will be connected into a solid triangle, leaning on each other to support each other.

The Weibao designed by Ran Ming is actually very similar to the artillery towers of later generations. The whole Weibao is circular, with three floors and four feet, and a circumference of three hundred steps. Small hole, such a small hole is naturally not a machine gun hole, but a long gun hole.When the enemy attacked the fort, if the method of attacking the city with ants was adopted, the defenders only needed to remove the blocking bricks in the fort, and then they could use long spears to stab the enemy with ants.

Since there are no machine guns, let alone weapons to continuously attack the enemy, Ran Ming adopts the method of deploying more return guns. It is estimated that each fort will have six light return guns that can be operated by two people, and four heavy return guns that can be operated by four people. .

In this way, with the addition of spearmen, crossbowmen, and more than 120 people can be deployed in each fort, as long as the food and water sources are sufficient, the enemy will shed enough blood if they want to break through the fort.

And if you don't pull out this nail, you can't do it. This place is three to five miles away from Tongguan. If you attack Tongguan, this is the center and rear of the enemy's siege force. God knows how much damage such a fortress can cause among the enemies.

Ran Ming brought dozens of people including Wang Zhi, head guard Zhang Tao, first disciple Chen Yong, and third disciple Liu Ke to the construction site of Duancunbao.

Ran Ming pointed to the prisoner who was under construction and said: "Yonglang, this fortress is the key to our Tongguan defense line, we must treat it with caution, and don't be careless. I told you all about it, do you remember the reason for the loss of the street pavilion? ?Water source is very important. Without food and food, as long as there is water, a person can last for seven days, but without water, a person will die for up to three days. Therefore, a well must be drilled in the fort to ensure the water source Don't be cut off by the enemy!"

Ran Ming pointed to the trench outside the Fortress and said: "This trench must be wide enough and deep enough. If you want to attack the Fortress, you must sacrifice your life!"

Chen Yong said: "Disciple understands!"

Ran Ming nodded, for some reason, he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart at this moment, and this feeling of unease became more and more intense as time went by.

Ran Ming said to the crowd again: "This time our opponent is Xie Ai from the Xiliang Kingdom. What is scary about him is that he has a team of dead soldiers in his hands, who are dedicated to assassinating the enemy's general. So from now on, all armies The emergency plan must be strictly implemented. The battalion captain is assassinated or killed in battle, the deputy captain takes over the command of the troops on the spot, the principal and deputy captains die, the former Sima of the other department is acting, the former Sima of the other department is killed, the Sima of the left department is acting, and the left The Sima of the other department was killed, and the Sima of the other department on the right was killed. All five Sima of the other department were killed, and the former battalion and the former army were waiting to act... At any time, the army must not be commanded by someone, and it cannot be trapped in a group of dragons without a leader!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Follow your orders!"

Ran Ming said to Jing Zhan again: "There is no clever way to deal with Xie Ai's death squad. There is only one stupid way. Spread more scouts and patrols. All sentry posts adopt a four-post system. Each checkpoint must ensure two In light and in darkness, all scouts must keep their eyes open when they sleep."

Jing Zhan rubbed his throat and said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Highness, unless all three hundred Qilin guards are dead, no enemy will be allowed to enter the camp!"

The Qilin Guard is a warrior specially selected by Ran Ming from the original scout team, the Luozhou army, and the thief army in order to distinguish it from the ordinary Chu king's guard. Everyone has very good stamina and quick response. At least everyone has a skill .

All of the three hundred qilin guards are marksmen, with outstanding skills in single-handed combat.Although they are not as powerful as Zhang Ping's "deaf and dumb", they are definitely powerful existences in this era.

Besides, Jing Zhan's self-confidence stems from his three-month training experience in the "Deaf and Mute", which is still fresh in his memory.Unscheduled emergency training every day, wearing full armor, carrying all weapons and equipment, each with a load of [-] catties, cross-country marching for [-] miles, twice in the morning and evening, unarmed combat training for an hour, and each person uses a stone bow every day Fifty arrows at a fixed target and fifty arrows at a moving target.

In addition to these, the "deaf and dumb" also trains camouflage and lurking, and dumb training specifically listens to troops.

Ground listening, that is, using the most primitive listening urn, which is a jar with a big mouth and a small belly. When using it, the listening urn is buried in the ground, and a thin layer of leather is covered on the mouth of the urn. On it, "listen" to the surrounding movement. Not all the "deaf and dumb" are deaf and dumb, there are also blind people among them.Because the eyes can't see, the hearing of blind people is generally more sensitive than that of normal people.

Therefore, the "deaf and dumb" ground listening team can not only hear the movement of the enemy digging tunnels, but even march and troop mobilization.

Jing Zhan's self-confidence is self-confidence on this point.

Ran Ming thought about it carefully, made sure there was nothing missing, and inspected the construction of the Three Forts before returning to Tongguan.

When he came to Tongguan Commander Wei's mansion, before Ran Ming had time to catch his breath, Ran Ming had already received the news that Yang Ji asked to see him.At this time, Ran Ming still needed Yang Ji's support, so despite his tiredness, he still received Yang Ji.Next to Yang Ji was a man in his thirties, with a white face and long beard, handsome appearance, he was a handsome uncle.This person behaved decently, wearing a white gown, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yang Ji's.

"Ji, see His Highness the King of Chu!" Yang Ji leaned slightly, saluting symbolically.

Ran Ming dragged his hands empty, and said, "Mr. Yang, you don't need to be formal!"

Yang Ji is a fine person. Seeing the exhausted look on Ran Ming's face, he said in a long and short way: "Ji got a small official who has not dealt with copywriting and mundane matters by His Highness, so I would like to recommend one person to His Highness! Youdao is a virtuous person." You don't need to kiss, I will recommend a poor son for His Highness, Yang Hui, named Boyan. Why don't you take this opportunity and let His Highness test it?"

At this time, Yang Hui saluted deeply, "I have heard about His Highness's name for a long time, and Hui has always wanted to meet him, but there is no way. Hui is very lucky to see His Highness today."

Ran Ming was startled, everyone likes to hear compliments, knowing that Yang Hui is flattering Ran Ming, Ran Ming still feels comfortable.Ran Ming said with a slight smile: "Bo Yan is polite, Ming is a martial artist who won Yu Yin from his ancestors to gain a foothold. How can there be such a name?"

Yang Hui smiled slightly, and took out a book from his pocket. Yang Hui pointed the cover of the book at Ran Ming, "Dare to ask Your Highness, is this thousand-character essay written by His Highness?"

Plagiarism, after all, is not a glorious thing.

"Exactly." Ran Ming felt a little guilty, nodded and said: "I have a righteous daughter, who is only six years old, and has reached the age of enlightenment. When I first met a cheap girl, I was teaching a little girl to read in the mansion, and she actually used "The Commandments for Women" "As a textbook for little girls. Seeing that this is inappropriate, readers of "Women's Commandments" can at least learn after the girls mature, so I wrote this article overnight as a textbook for little girls to enlighten!"

"Three months ago, Mr. Hui De Luopu sent the "Thousand Characters" written by His Highness. At first glance, it was not obvious at first, but after a closer look, I found the truth. , the four words are the same, the antithesis is neat, the organization is clear, the literary talent is outstanding, and it is amazing. Yang Hui continued: "This person is thoughtful and ingenious, knowledgeable, beautiful in rhyme, and catchy, suitable for Meng children to memorize.With this article, His Highness is worthy of all the disciples! "

Everyone, at this time, the meaning is not just the meaning of everyone.It refers to an extraordinary achievement in academics, a top-level master, who has the demeanor of a master, and can reach the grandmaster who established a school.For example, Cai Wenji in the Three Kingdoms period was called Master Cai because she was unmatched in piano art.

Yang Ji obviously didn't know that Ran Ming still had such a literary talent, so he snatched "Thousand Characters" from Yang Hui's hand and read it carefully.From time to time, the mouth praised "Miao, wonderful, good, very good!"

Yang Hui took out another book from his sleeve at this time.Ran Ming glanced at it, and it turned out to be "36 Strategies".

Yang Hui said: "Your Highness, don't be surprised. The "Thousand-Character Essay" created by Your Highness has been circulated three months ago. Now, I am afraid that all the great family schools in the world are using His Highness' "Thousand-Character Essay" to teach boys. And this "36 Strategies" is a collection of masters in the art of war. Once this book is published, your highness's name as a master of military strategy will be confirmed!"

Ran Ming actually doesn’t care whether the 36 tricks come out or not. The art of war is dead after all. In history, since the appearance of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Six Secret Teachings", "General Garden", "Wu Qi's Art of War", "Sima Fa" and "Wei Liao Zi", No one who can truly become a master of the art of war has ever read military books. In the final analysis, this is a process of absorption.It is suitable for each person.

Ran Ming hadn't had time to test Yang Hui, and suddenly received an urgent report from Wei Guo's navy that they were tricked into being trapped in Zheng County, and asked His Highness for help!

Ran Ming looked at Yang Hui and said, "Bo Yan, what do you think?"
