Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 70
Chapter 072

Seeing Ran Ming's encouraging eyes, Chen Yong became bolder as he spoke, and continued: "Xiang Yu just saw the opportunity to fight. At that time, the Qin Army King Li had 20 troops, and the enemy was the world-famous Qin State who swept the six countries. The army of tigers and wolves, while Xiang Yu has only [-] soldiers, of which the main force is only [-] Jiangdong soldiers, and the other [-] people are soldiers from various rebels who surrendered along the way, or newly recruited recruits. The [-] soldiers of the army, the other troops are all weak troops!"

"Although Xiang Yu won the three armies bravely, he was invincible, but he fought wonderfully, skillfully and wisely in this battle. First, he sank his ship, broke the cauldron, burned the hut, and held three days of rations to show that the soldiers must die Second, taking advantage of Wang Li's negligence and lax protection of grain roads, Xiang Yu decisively seized the opportunity and sent troops to attack his grain roads. The 20 Qin army was in danger of having no food. There was no food, no morale, and because there was no retreat, the morale of the Chu army was high. Xiang Yu not only defeated the Qin army, rescued the siege of Zhao State, but also wiped out 20 well-trained border troops of Qin State in one fell swoop. Army, so that the Qin army will have no soldiers to fight in the Central Plains, and Xiang Yu will become the lord of the vassals with this battle!"

Ran Ming motioned Chen Yong to sit down, and he said loudly: "Chen Yong is right, quite good! Five years later, Xiang Yu lost another battle. Who knows, I will tell everyone." Seeing Chen Yong in the audience In front of the disciples, he showed a lot of limelight. The second disciple, Wei Feng, was relatively introverted. He was not ready yet, but the third disciple, Liu Ke, didn't even give in. He got up directly and said, "Master and disciple know!"

Ran Ming glanced at Liu Ke with admiration, and said with a smile, "Liu Lang is defenseless!"

Liu Ke cleared his throat, coughed twice, and said solemnly: "This is the battle of Gaixia in history. Xiang Yu entrusted the queens of the eighteen vassals, and Liu Bang, the king of Hanzhong, and Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, launched a battle between Chu and Han for the world. After Wang Liubang entered Guanzhong, he made three chapters with the people of Guanzhong, and the economy has also recovered to a certain extent. It can be said that the soldiers are fine and food is sufficient. But Xiang Yu has always attached importance to the war with the King of Hanzhong, and has not carried out food reserves. Liu Bang, who has many soldiers and sufficient food With the power of waiting, he assembled 60 troops and besieged Xiang Yu's [-] Chu army. The Chu army was eager to return to the south, and there was no food. The strength of the Chu army was severely injured, and it was powerless to return to heaven! And using the strategy of being besieged on all sides, the morale of the Chu army was dispersed. In the end, the Han army won a big victory, and the Chu army was defeated. My court minister ordered Master Liu’s father to use Hu Qu to retreat from the lonely city, which is the same as being besieged on all sides. role!"

Ran Ming nodded and said: "Liu Lang is right. You know that these two battles happened to Xiang Yu at the same time. Why did Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, lose?"

Liu Ke was eager to show again: "Xiang Yu was proud and complacent after the giant deer battle. He still thought that his bravery was unmatched. He didn't know that no matter how brave he was among the ten thousand armies, it would be useless in the battle situation! The enemy's grain path won, but he was defeated by his own lack of food and not knowing how to advance or retreat!"

Ran Ming said: "Very good, do you have anything to add?"

The fourth disciple Guo Yue said: "First of all, Xiang Yu was good at seizing opportunities at the beginning. He took advantage of the characteristics of the Qin army's carelessness, decisively attacked more with less, cut off the enemy's food, disrupted the enemy's morale, and finally won a big victory. During the battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu But he couldn't see his own weakness, didn't realize his own food shortage, and was angered by Han Xin's plan, and lost his position!"

There was also an officer of the Tiger Roaring Battalion who said indignantly: "Liu Bang uses more to fight less, and victory is not done by force!"

Another human said: "Han Xin is a shameless villain, Xiang Yu has kindness to him, and he doesn't want to repay it!"

As a result, some people said: "Xiang Yu is not as good as Liu Bang. Liu Bang lost countless times against Xiang Yu. Even his wife was arrested and he had the cheek to fight hard."

Ran Ming saw that everyone discussed a lot, and the topic became more and more biased, so he finally just typed out: "Everyone said very well, our Wei Army has been established for more than three years since the beginning of our army. When Wei was at its most powerful, it had 30 soldiers in the six prefectures of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, and Luozhou, but what about now?"

"The defeat of the overlord of Chu was because he abandoned the people. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the people had gone through the war of Qin's unification of the six kingdoms. The warring states were in turmoil for hundreds of years. They were already tired of war and yearned for a peaceful life. Xiang Yu was because of the enfeoffment of the kings. , and continue to plunge the world into chaos. In this way, the people's ideas are in harmony with Xiang Yu, and the people are against him. The same is true for our Wei State. Due to cruel ethnic vendettas and continuous wars, coupled with famine, agriculture has come to a standstill, and continuous wars , making the people suffer unspeakably, so the people are tired of the war, our country of Wei will be like an overlord, fall into ambush from all sides, and eventually perish!"

Ran Ming looked at the contemplative people, and continued: "The times are developing, and our country of Wei also needs reform. Our country of Wei can own six states and have 30 soldiers. The ethnic conflict between the Hus led the Han people who were unwilling to be enslaved and oppressed by the Hus to resist the Hus, and finally won the initial victory! But later, our Wei State lost its aggressiveness and continued to blindly carry out vendettas and murders. The asymmetrical war with the mighty Hu tribe resulted in smaller territory and more and more fleeing people. Do you know what caused this passive situation?"

Ran Ming's remarks were a bit indifferent, the father did not speak of the virtues of the son, and the son did not speak of the faults of the father. "The monarch, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son", this is the norm, and it cannot be reversed.Although Ran Ming implicitly pointed to Ran Min's wrong policy, it was still a rebellious statement.

However, everyone dared not refute.No matter how rebellious Ran Ming is, it is still their mentor, master, master, and the status of master and father is second only to the status of father.There was a moment of silence.

Ran Ming then bluntly said: "Actually, this is a mistake in the national policy of our Wei State!"

"Great order is needed after the chaos, and our soldiers also have the idea of ​​​​underestimating the enemy, thinking that the barbarians are nothing special, they are not as powerful as the Han people, and the result is that they underestimate the enemy, or go deep alone, or suffer from the enemy, or run out of ammunition and food, and fall into a heavy siege What are we Han people best at? It is defending the city, not fighting in the field. Even in the most powerful period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, 70 troops went to Mobei, but when they returned to the division in victory, only more than [-] people returned. Miserable victory!"

Ran Ming's words became more and more astonishing, and then all the disciples looked at the enthusiasm with surprised eyes. Ran Ming, who was eloquent, had to stop temporarily when he saw this scene. Ran Ming also felt that he was speaking to a group of company platoon leaders The issue of national strategic height is a bit like playing the piano with cattle.He sorted out his thoughts a bit, and continued: "What I just said is a strategic issue. It is a major decision related to the overall situation. A wrong strategy will point the troops to a dangerous situation, bring unnecessary sacrifices, and cause unnecessary losses. .Now, let's talk about tactical issues. This is also an issue that our generals at the grassroots level must understand."

Ran Ming said loudly again: "Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles" means that if you fully understand the situation of your own troops and the situation of the enemy, then you can become a victorious general. You have all experienced wars. The characteristics of the cavalry of the nomads should be well understood, let's talk about the characteristics of the cavalry of the Xianbei Murong tribe now!"

As the eldest disciple, Chen Yong stood up to speak first, and said: "The cavalry of the Murong Department of Yan State are very mobile and fierce in combat. They almost ignore casualties when attacking, and they can easily break through a place."

"Not bad!" Ran Ming praised, "Is there anything else to add?"

"Their armor is very strong, it's hard for us to cut it off!" Second disciple Wei Feng said, who has been silent all this time: "And the speed is very fast, we can shoot two rounds of arrows at most, and they rushed up!"

Ran Ming said again: "That's right, is there anyone else to add?"

A Huben Army officer said: "They look scary, like ghosts!"

Everyone burst into laughter immediately, and the atmosphere at the scene became active.

Ran Ming smiled and said: "It's nothing, they are not real ghosts. They are real people. They will hurt if they are shot by arrows, and they will die if their heads are cut off! Their strengths have been revealed. Do they have any weaknesses?"

"Not good at long siege!" Liu Ke said hastily: "Their bows and arrows are very accurate, but their bows are too soft and have a short range. Very bad, they are very powerful on horseback, but they are not as good as ordinary people on the ground! And the tactics are simple, except for the frontal attack, they are outflanking the left and right wings, which has never been new!"

Liu Ke took all the shortcomings of Yan Jun from the Xianbei people in one breath. Ran Ming looked at Liu Ke who was glaring at other disciples with a hostile face, and sighed secretly in his heart. Liu Ke is a good seedling, smart, quick thinking, and far-sighted. It's too strong, and it's good to learn to catch up with all the brothers and sisters, but I'm afraid that he will not be able to restrain his jealousy in the future, which will eventually destroy him!
This kind of training similar to the democratic learning style of the later generations of the People's Liberation Army has broadened the horizons of the students, stimulated their interest in learning, and can also deepen their memory!
Ran Ming said: "What are the advantages of our Wei army?"

Liu Ke immediately said again: "Our crossbows have a long range, great power, strong armor, and sharp steel knives, and our horse traps and horse-repelling guns are hard for the enemy to defend against! We have strong defense capabilities, trebuchets, and corpse oil It's also powerful!"

"Where is our weakness?"

"There is too little food!"

"It is difficult to fight for a long time without food!"

"Our riding skills are terrible!"

"The strength is not as strong as the Xianbei People's Congress!"

……

Just when Ran Ming was training his disciples, in the imperial palace of Ye City, Ran Min saw the panicked little Ran Jingwen!Ran Min was an iron-blooded warrior who had experienced fierce battles all his life, but he was a fierce man who had bathed in blood and slept on a mountain of corpses.There was no way to conceal the chilling aura on his body.

Not to mention a five or six-year-old child, even an ordinary warrior can hardly resist the pressure brought by Ran Min.

Looking at Ran Jingwen who was about to cry with aggrieved face, Ran Min hurried forward and said, "Don't be afraid, child! I don't know how to eat people!"

Ran Min's voice is very loud. If he roars loudly, his voice can suppress the noise of the troops on the battlefield. It is simply an enhanced version of a lion's roar. Although Ran Min deliberately lowered his voice, to Ran Jingwen's ears, this voice is like It sounded like a thunder!
"Wow!" Ran Jingwen burst into tears in fright.

Ran Min looked at the pitiful Ran Jingwen, who was tearing and snot flowing, and suddenly became cute.

Empress Dong hurriedly waved to Ran Jingwen, "Come to grandma!"

Ran Jingwen is actually very smart. Seeing Empress Dong's kind face, her fear suddenly decreased a little.She smiled innocently, and said timidly: "Mother told me, father's mother is Jingwen's grandmother! Are you my father's mother?"

Looking at the innocent Ran Jingwen, I was very relieved.She stroked Ran Jingwen's head. Although she knew that Ran Jingwen was not Ran Ming's biological daughter and could only be regarded as a foster daughter, she still liked her very much!

In the end, Ran Jingwen was canonized by Empress Dong as Princess Qinghe!And Li Shifeng became Ran Ming's clothes.It is a registered concubine.

Empress Dong watched Ran Jingwen for a long time, and she thought of others when she saw people. Finally, she couldn't bear the second son running around outside, so she blew the pillow wind on Ran Min. Since then, Ran Ming tried his best to bribe the eunuch for the two months he finally got. It's gone after just halfway through!
Eunuch Cao Chun set foot on Qingzhou again this time.

At this time, Ran Ming received the first batch of rice from Liu Yuan!
