Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The rain finally stopped, and the splendid spring scenery from the sun was more springy.

Guo Shao's daily routine in Tokyo gradually established a pattern. The guards stationed and inspected the barracks; he participated in the court meeting on the first and fifteenth day of the first and the fifteenth day, and took a ten-day vacation. In his opinion, this "job" is not hard, the intensity and time are very average, and it is a bit easy; the rewards are very generous. In this age when a good number of people live by eating chaffy vegetables, these high-ranking military commanders and civil servants are living a life of pampering... Obviously people at this time want to live such a life.

Guo Shao cherishes this "job" and learns to be cautious in his words and deeds, and spend his energy and time silently in places that others can't see, so as not to cause unhelpful pressure on his colleagues. Of course he wanted to stabilize everything he got and establish a sense of security.

Maybe everyone thinks like this, so when Jidu had made the warlord strong, he was never willing to hand over military power, and was unwilling to surrender security to people and surrender their lives to the hands of the central court. But now the center of power has tilted to the Forbidden Army.

After clicking Mao, Han Tong, Gao Huaide and others walked out of the lobby. Chai Gui, who was walking behind, said, "The front office of the Beiyadian is again electing soldiers, and it's booming. Our guards haven't moved at all. Should we do something?"

Although Chai Gui is the clan brother of the emperor (surnamed Guo) Chai Rong, he has little power in the Department of Guards. He said this coincidentally, and it sounds like a complaint, but the sentence "our guards" will deal with everyone on the spot. They are all covered almost, as if everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.

Han Tong let out a hum, and said, "The selection of soldiers in front of the palace is the official will. The imperial decree did not let the guards move. What's wrong with keeping everyone stable?"

Gao Huaide said: "There is no war for the time being, but we also want to keep the guards and soldiers fighting, and don't let the soldiers think that they can take up the free salary of the military."

The group of people talked a few words, walked to the gallery, worshipped and divided things and did their own things.

Guo Shao and Gao Huaide deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with him along the way, but saw that Gao Huaide was still half a shoulder slower than himself, not more than them. Guo Shao turned around and said, "I have some strategies for leading me and want to ask General Gao."

Guo Shao watched Gao Huaide speak, and took the opportunity to observe his expression calmly. But seeing him look indifferent, righteous, and awe-inspiring between his shots, he couldn't see anything unusual. Guo Shao was thinking about the matter with his sister, and looking at Gao Huaide’s performance, he felt that the secret matter should not have been leaked out, and he was a little relieved... It would not be easy for everyone’s private affairs to be made public, maybe There are people behind Gao Huaide who has a serious face. Who is okay to inquire about those?

There is also Zaoli, a bureaucratic official, and Guo and Gao are very particular about every word and deed.

Gao Huaide hurriedly said, "I don't dare to ask for advice."

Guo Shao disapproved, and smiled: "Although my military position is slightly higher than that of General Gao, General Gao comes from a family of military generals and leads his troops well, so he is afraid that you are hiding and tucked away and he is unwilling to tell me."

Gao Huaide said: "If General Guo asks, I will know everything."

"Well, let's go to the signing room and talk in detail." Guo Shao said.

The two walked up to the attic signing room together, behind which was the warehouse, which was built upstairs to prevent moisture. Since it was asking about the "secret," Guo Shao stepped back.

At the moment he didn't ask about the art of war, first took out a list from his arms, and said calmly: "Recently, I looked at the old files and saw that some people were again'improper corpse positions in the military'... and the callback Huainan Huaide’s generals are exactly the same, so let’s take a look at the high generals."

Gao Huaide took it in his hand and glanced around, then looked up and said, "There are people with Ma Junsi."

Guo Shao said, "Han Lingkun hasn't returned to Beijing. I'll give you a copy to let General Gao have a bottom line. If you know someone in the Majun Slongjie Jun, you can do this together."

Of course, the generals who "improperly manage the army" and "have no talent" mentioned by Guo Shao can only rely on his mouth to say; those who improperly manage the army are because they are inextricably linked with Li Zhongjin. Had to think of a way to kick it away, so as not to be an eyesore among the guards.

Gao Huaide accepted it and nodded: "As we discussed earlier, most of the generals also agreed. Although there is no war, we must ensure that the military has strict military laws and regulations. Those who keep the corpse position and vegetarian food will drag down the elite of the guards. "

Guo Shao said: "It is precisely this principle. The official let us take charge of the Department of Guards. We can't have the trust of the official."

Hearing Guo Shao mention the official family, Gao Huaide thoughtfully nodded and said yes.

At this time, Guo Shao stopped the topic and asked, "I suddenly remembered one thing, above the battlefield, if the soldiers are tens of thousands and the spread is too wide, how to convey the military order when the battle is half-hearted?"

Gao Huaide said straight: "Send a quick horse to pass the order."

Guo Shao pondered: "When I was in Haozhou, Xianjun attacked in the middle of the city. The enemy sent out horse soldiers to spread rumors and false orders in the Chinese army during the chaos. How about these things?"

Gao Huaide said: "Important military orders, send familiar generals. You will know the truth if you know the person, and you can also bring a seal."

Guo Shao nodded, and talked with Gao Huaide again. After inquiring carefully, he understood Gao Huaide's habit of leading soldiers in battle. Gao Huaide does not have a strict system of passing orders. Except for defensive orders, specific operations basically rely on the decentralization of powers between lieutenants and generals. The main tactics are nothing more than formation, advance, and retreat. There are also some tasks such as harassment and spying, directly ordering the Ministry to do it.

Guo Shao always felt dissatisfied. This kind of organization was too loose and relied too much on the performance and prestige of the generals at all levels; the military orders issued in conjunction with the drum horn gold and others could only be simple combat orders. In the battle, it is difficult to coordinate what tactical goals are to be achieved and what intentions to follow when the situation changes... No wonder the generals who can use the plan at this time are more capable, because the number of people makes it difficult to command in time. It is even more difficult to make changes together. Therefore, facing the strength and weakness, it is the mainstream combat method. In many cases, you can guess whether you will win or lose just by looking at the formations of the two sides before playing.

Because the army at this time has no "staff." Guo Shao thinks that this may be the reason.

But how to establish a "staff head"? Guo Shao found that the messenger organization that he had taken for granted before was very impractical. The presence on the spot also hindered the army's response efficiency and was extremely error-prone. After Gao Huaide left, Guo Shao didn't turn over the old files today. He sat at the table and pondered the situation of the Battle of Haozhou.

He looked back, and felt that his original idea was not wrong, but the way was wrong. After hearing Gao Huaide's words just now, Guo Shao gradually had some new ideas that were more suitable for the actual situation... Those complicated seals were not easy to use, and Gao Huaide's words "familiar people" could be used instead.

(Guo Shaoyue thinks that it makes more sense. If each commander sends three or five soldiers he knows, they will be placed in the Chinese army to form a messenger organization; the Chinese army will then send generals to recognize and manage these personal soldiers... When you need to give an order to a certain unit, you only need to send a messenger in the past. They are all personal soldiers of the generals at all levels, so they can naturally distinguish between true and false.

Then set the staff in the military office, and each written military order was signed by the staff; the generals took the signatures against the handwriting. Can assist anti-counterfeiting. )

He drafted these ideas on paper, wrote nouns, and used lines to deduce the internal logical relationship. I think it works in theory, but I still don't know what to do; the unsuccessful tinkering at the Battle of Haozhou at that time left some shadow on him.

But Guo Shao wondered again: Every method was devised by humans. If you don’t try it, you will never be able to evolve a better method, nor can it be verified whether it is applicable; ancient humans used stone and wooden sticks to fight in groups, and later car wars Both horse-and-shooting are synergistic with each other, which is a process of continuous improvement, which cannot be learned from the predecessors at the beginning.

The best way to verify is to "exercise", which is completely different from the regular inspection and training of this era. Now training on the school grounds, you either practice your own archery, horses, and shooting, or arrays and formations. There are no real exercises... As for how the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army in the Great Zhou Dynasty was trained, it is not based on training at all, but experience. Ten years and generations of war honed, actual combat experience.

Guo Shao was pacing around in the signing room, feeling that he could not organize the exercise.

First of all, he did not have the right to transfer troops. To pull the forbidden army out for simulated operations, the emperor and the privy envoy would need to approve it. It took a complicated process from the presentation to the approval of the transfer. And obviously the Privy Council will guess your intention for doing this; what intention? If the Privy Council cannot understand it, it will only increase trouble.

Secondly, the target of the check-up exercise can only be the left side of the Tigers. Only with this army is Guo Shao familiar and easy to deploy. When he is a horseman, and he conducts exercises on the left side of the Tiger Jie army alone, he is equivalent to declaring to the Manchu: the left side is my territory, my private soldier!

Guo Shao thought left and right, UU Reading www.uukānshu.com decided to keep a low profile and behave like everyone the best, without having to take the initiative to cause trouble. He took a piece of paper, put the idea into a text, and put it in his pocket without showing it to others.

He thought about it, and wanted to adapt and perfect the functions of the drum horn and military flag. The battlefield is too wide to use these things to command the overall operations, but the use of each department separately can indeed be more conducive to coordinated advance and retreat at the command level.

...

After lunch, he looked at the old files again, and Guo Shao went to the military garrisons again, as usual. Then go home, work and rest are very regular.

When she arrived at home, Jingniang came to see her and said: "The queen will send someone to let Qingxu enter the palace tomorrow and teach her a new method of resting."

After listening, Guo Shao touched his forehead. The Emperor Xindao is in the palace now, so he should be careful. Conveniently said: "Since it is the Queen's decree, you will bring Qingxu with you tomorrow."

Jingniang was silent for a moment, but did not ask if she wanted to bring anything to the queen. Since Guo Shao didn't mention it, she said: "I know, then go to Qingxu and let her get up early tomorrow." rg()
