"A great victory! General Yang Zaixing and General Yao Xing fought in Sishui and obtained a million grains!"

"A great victory! General Yang Zaixing and General Yao Xing went to Haozhou and Huaiyin again, and each received another million grain!"

"A great victory! Lieutenant General Yang Yi defeated the 17 generals of the Southern bandits in a row, and defeated the 500,000 troops of the Southern bandits!"

"Great victory! General Yang Zaixing and General Yao Xing recovered Yangzhou City and obtained tens of millions of grain!"

"A great victory! General Han Shizhong swept across the south of the Huai River, and the court completely recaptured the area south of the Yangtze River!"

“…”

Shortly after Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong led their troops south, the good news came back like snowflakes.

So many good news made all those who had expected Zhao Gou's small court disappointed.

No one is a fool, and no one can tell that Zhao Gou and his small regime can do nothing at all.

Don’t forget that there were originally four-chambered troops in the capital, and Han Qing only used one of them and beat Zhao Gou up.

If Han Qing dispatched his troops to two hatchbacks again, even if he only dispatched one hatchback, he would not even have to send troops, and he might have wiped out the small regime of Zhao Gou.

At this time, some people who were still thinking about the restoration of the Zhao family were finally completely despaired about the restoration of the Zhao family and began to accept Han Qing's rule.

actually--

Unlike the published good news, Han Shizhong's memorial to Han Qing stated in detail that their real seizure and real battle situation were exactly the same as the information they found in Yuwen Xuzhong and others.

The reason why Han Shizhong exaggerated the results of the war was to give confidence to the people in the capital, especially the fact that he expanded the food seizure.

Han Qing did not get into a stubborn position in this regard. On the contrary, he felt that Han Shizhong was very smart to be so successful.

After all, morale is strong enough. If everyone has no confidence in Han Qing and Han Qing's regimes, then Han Qing will be not far from losing power or even losing his life.

Of course, the main thing is that while Han Shizhong was helping Han Qing boost morale, he was smart and did not deceive Han Qing, otherwise Han Qing would definitely not let Han Shizhong sit in prison.

The imperial army achieved such a great victory, and the military and civilians of the capital were shocked!

After Han Shizhong led his army to Yangzhou, after Han Qing's magistrate Hu Shijiang took over the government affairs of Yangzhou and other officials sent by Han Qing took over the respective prefectures and counties, after the first batch of two million grains were transported back to the capital through the Grand Canal, Han Qing announced that Daqing was three days.

but--

Han Qing was not blinded by victory.

After fully understanding how Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong fought this battle, Han Qing gathered all the generals and above of the personal guards, the North Guard Army, the East Guard Army, and the combat staff and above of the combat staff, and then made a post-war summary with them.

This time, Han Qing actually ordered someone to make a super large sand table.

It is said that when Qin was deploying the destruction of the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang personally stacked and studied the geographical situation of various countries. With the assistance of Li Si, he sent general Wang Jian to carry out the war of unity. Later, when Qin Shihuang was building a tomb, he built a large terrain model in his tomb. The model not only contained mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also used mercury to simulate rivers and seas, and used mechanical devices to make the mercury flow and circulate. It can be said that this was the earliest prototype of a sand table.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Ma Yuan" written by Fan Ye of the Southern Song Dynasty in China has recorded that in the eighth year of Jianwu in the Han Dynasty (32 AD), Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui. When Wei Xiang, a local tyrant in Wudu area, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice into a valley to draw the situation", which made Emperor Guangwu suddenly feel that "the enemy is in my eyes", which was the earliest sand table operation.

However--

Although sand tables had appeared long ago, what was actually used in wars was postponed for seven or eight hundred years in history. In 1811, von Leswitz, a civilian military adviser of King Fetterey William III of Prussia, made an exquisite battlefield model with clay, and used colors to represent roads, rivers, villages and woods. Small pieces of porcelain represent the army and weapons, and displayed them in the Potsdam Palace for military games. Later, Leswitz's son used sand tables to represent the topography and landforms, and used timers to represent the configuration of the army and weapons, and planned according to practical combat methods. This "war game" was modern sand table operation. It was not until the end of the 19th century and the early 19th century that sand tables were mainly used for military training, and it was not widely used in practice after the First World War.

Therefore, Han Qing used the sand table to analyze war examples, which pushed history forward for seven or eight hundred years. In the eyes of people of this era, it is undoubtedly another feat.

Han Qing showed the entire process of the battle between Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong through the sand table to the generals and staff.

The sand table has a strong three-dimensional sense and is intuitive.

With the assistance of the sand table, the generals and staff members clearly understood how Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong won the battle.

Everyone was taught by the same master. Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong had a blitzkrieg, and others recognized it at a glance. This was the blitzkrieg that Han Qing taught them before.

With this example, while everyone was amazed at the power of the blitzkrieg, they admired Han Qing who "invented" the blitzkrieg.

But Han Qing had no waves in the ancient well, as if this blitzkrieg was not invented by himself.

After concealing this battle, Han Qing first affirmed the military achievements of Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong.

but--

Here, Han Qing is more sure of Han Shizhong's contribution.

In Han Qing's words, "Yang Yizhong fought well in this battle, but if Han Shizhong had not cooperated decisively and had good dispatch, it would have never been possible for such great results in this battle. After all, Yang Yizhong only had five hundred cavalry in his hands."

(Later, when Han Qing rewarded his merits, he also gave his first merit to Han Shizhong, who had always taken into account the overall situation.)

Han Qing did this, so that the generals and staff of the central army understood that Han Qing was not the supreme leader who did not understand war. His evaluation of merits and rewards would never stop at the surface, but would look at the real contributions.

This will undoubtedly eliminate many behaviors of winning the credit.

Han Qing calmly analyzed that it was not how powerful the blitzkrieg was or how invincible it was, but that the enemy reacted too slowly and dealt too badly, which led to Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong achieving such a great victory.

To prove what I said.

Han Qing deduced in the opposite direction again. He only took out a battalion of three thousand people, and then first deployed the three thousand people in Guitian Town, then in Pingyuan Town, and then in Tongcheng Town, and then implement the defense method separately.

Under Han Qing's demonstration, no matter where the Bu army was, he could stop Yang Yizhong's blitzkrieg and win time for the Southern Army to assemble.

Han Qing took out another 30,000 troops to attack Tianshui, and then fought with Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong with Tianshui.

As a result, under Han Qing's deduction, the Southern Army, which was on the defending side, had at least 30% chance of winning.

In other words, if Liu Guangshi, who led 30,000 to 40,000 troops in Tianshui at that time, did not choose to escape, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable. No, it should be said that if the Southern Army had not been dealt with in a mess from beginning to end, Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong would have no chance to win in one battle.

Han Qing led all the generals and the staff analyzed it, and everyone realized that it was not that Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong were too powerful, but that the Southern Army was too weak and the response was too poor.

Based on this result, everyone can think that if the supreme leader of the Southern Army was not the cowardly and foolish Zhao Gou but the capable of fighting Han Qing, the results of the battle would probably be very different...
