Chapter 24 Be a Young Master
"Since the rise to heaven, the general is the one who has made it..." Zhao Zheng shouted.
Not in Huai County, but in the sand sea, where the Qin army shogunate was located in the northwest of Daliang, on the towering rammed earth platform, Zhao Zheng appointed the right general Meng Tian as a general. The axe turned around in Zhao Zheng's hand. He held the handle of the axe and halberd, and placed the head of the axe and halberd in Meng Tian's hand, and shouted: "From now on the abyss, the general will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one
Meng Tian remained motionless, and only heard Zhao Zheng holding the handle of an axe and halberd say again: "When you see it is weak, advance, and when you see it, stop. Do not underestimate the enemy by taking the order as a crowd, do not take the responsibility as a rude person, do not despise the crowd because of the only person, do not take the argument as a necessity. Do not sit before the soldiers sit, do not eat before the soldiers eat, and the cold and heat will be the same. In this way, the soldiers will do their best to die."
"My... I heard that the country cannot be governed outside, and the army cannot be controlled by it." Meng Tian was stunned for a moment before receiving the order to bow down, and said what he should say at this moment: "Two hearts cannot serve the king, and doubts cannot respond to the enemy. Since I have been controlled by the front, I have no request for the power of drums, flags, axes and halberds. I only hope that the king will give me a word to me, but the king will not allow it, and I dare not be a general; if the king agrees, I will refuse to do so."
Zhao Zheng stared at Meng Tian who was worshiping on the stage, unlike Wang Jian who was full of white hair. Meng Tian, who was in his prime, had a black hair and shiny hair, and was meticulously combed. Under the gaze of the ministers on the stage and the soldiers under the stage, he was silent for a while and said: "There is nothing that Qin harmed the world as Jing. If Jingcun is the Qin, if Jingcun dies, Qin will dies, and if Jingcun dies, Qin will dies. The power is not in harmony. The people of Jing want to avoid moving to Penglai in April, but the boat army is no longer stopped. Only the general quickly raises troops to kill him, destroy the country, capture the king, and stop him from moving."
Meng Tian bowed again and repeated the order loudly: "The Jing people avoided the relocation to Penglai in April, and the boat army is no longer stopped. The king ordered the minister to quickly raise troops to kill the Jing people, destroy the country, capture the king, and stop them from moving. I respectfully accept the order!"
In a word, the most important order issued by the king to the general in front of the ancestor of the gods, and it is also the last order issued by the king. After this order, "the country cannot be governed outside, and the army cannot be controlled from it." If the king wants to change his previous life, both sides must negotiate. If the general does not agree, it means that "the general is outside and the king's order will not be accepted."
Meng Tian was ordered to take the axe representing the royal power, take the military talisman that dispatched the army, take the banner decorated with colorful blood feathers, and finally take the drums and bronze stalks that command the army to advance and retreat. At this time, the soldiers in the audience began to shout long live the king.
If the generals of Qin State asked the soldiers who were willing to be under which general, nine out of the ten Qin soldiers would say Wang Jian; if the generals were willing to be under which general, nine out of the ten were willing to be under the command of Wang Jian. The generals and soldiers of the entire army liked Wang Jian so much, it was difficult to accept it for a while. Even if they accepted it, they could not immediately adjust from the mentality of long-term confrontation to the mentality of decisive battle.
Meng Tian asked Zhao Zheng to set up a platform to serve as a general in Shahai. In addition to establishing his own prestige, the generals and soldiers of the army also knew what the king's decree was and why they were so eager to fight the Jing people. The generals could be replaced, but the generals received the order of the king when he was appointed as a general. The generals and soldiers of the army must obey the order of the king.
The generals in the audience cheered for long live the king, but saw a cavalry general who was free from the horse hurried into the gate and headed straight to the shogunate. He bowed and shouted: "Report to the king, report to the general, the people of Jing have retreated! The people of Jing have retreated!!"
"The Jing people retreated?" All the ministers on the stage and the soldiers under the stage were shocked. Zhao Zheng was also at a loss, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. Only Meng Tian and Meng Gong were shocked and understood that this was the Jing people's retreat. Once the Jing people retreated, the battlefield could only be chosen by the Jing people, and all the original plans would be invalidated.
"This is the power of the king!" Zhao Gao saw the fastest, and shouted before the others could react. Following him, all the ministers and generals bowed to Zhao Zheng: "This is the power of the king!" Soon, when the generals in the audience shouted Long Live the king, they also inserted a sentence "The power of the king", and the shouting momentum was even better than before.
"The General thought why did the Jing people retreat?" When he stepped down to the shogunate feast, Zhao Zheng finally asked this question. On one side of the tent were civil officials, while on the other side were generals. The civil officials were headed by right prime minister Wang Wan, while the generals were headed by general Meng Tian.
Zhao Zheng asked, and more than a dozen eyes immediately looked at Meng Tian, wanting to know how he answered.
"The people of Jing are afraid of the king." Meng Tian did not hide anything, even in front of Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng immediately stopped hearing this. He thought Meng Tian would tell the truth to him like his father Meng Wu, but he didn't expect that he would also tell lies. Fortunately, Meng Tian's words were not finished, so he said again: "This is also a strategy to lure the enemy into depth. If the king comes to Qifeng in person, our army's morale will rise greatly, and the Jing people's aura will disappear. If we retreat to Chu and stay away from Huze, our army will be inconvenient, and the Jing people will be willing to fight."
Apart from the flattery, Meng Tian still told the truth, but he said it very tactfully. He needed to carefully distinguish it to know that those are the truth and those are lies that have to be told. Zhao Zheng thought about it and asked again: "Why is it inconvenient for our army to stay away from Huze? The soldiers fought with the Jing people on land, not in Huze, but in Huze, the Zhou army fought with the Jing people on Huze."
"The king doesn't know anything." Meng Tian said humbly. "There is no Huze. Our army's soldiers are 600,000,000, like long snakes. The head is in Chencheng and the tail is still in Daliang. The Jing people can attack, but Li Xin's defeat will be defeated by the leader of the army. The army has not yet been completed. If there is a Huze, each commander can land together. When the land is on the shore, it will form an array, but there will be no Huze..."
The more soldiers there are, the larger the army. The larger the army, the less convenient it is to command. It takes several days to go from camping to marching, and it takes several days to gather into formation in a marching state. It takes several days to gather in a marching state, and it takes several days to go. There are many people who do have the advantage, but if there are many people who are not fully deployed, it is easy to be caught off guard by the enemy. In this sense, there are too few people and few people.
The side with more people hits the side with fewer people, and failure is often in the gap between the military array but not fully formed, and the two armies have not fully fought each other. This moment is like a machine deforming, and a sudden blow is interrupted when it is about to change, breaking the fragile axes and mechanisms. The entire machine will be damaged by its huge weight. However, if the deformation is completed, the previously exposed axes and mechanisms and mechanisms are hidden by the heavy iron, and the side with fewer people will undoubtedly lose.
The plains are convenient for hundreds of thousands of troops to be deployed, while the mountains, forests and rivers are not conducive to the development of hundreds of thousands of troops. The biggest problem facing the mentors of the Meng Tian shogunate is not how to fight, but how to safely arrange the array.
Meng Tian mentioned the lake, because the wide lake can allow 600,000 Qin troops to line up on the water and then charge and land. The Chu army, which is only one-sixth of the Qin army, can only block a part of the people and cannot stop everyone. It is worth doing to exchange the cost of 200,000 soldiers to list the military formations for another 400,000 soldiers.
Now that the Chu army has retreated, the best choice for the 600,000 Qin troops is to advance southward in a straight line along the Honggu. The width of the Honggu determines the width of the marching queue, the width of the marching queue determines the length of the marching queue, and the length of the marching determines the reaction speed of the entire army, that is, the time required to arrange the array.
The Qin army did not have enough three-oard warships or three-oard transport boats. Even if there were six three-oard warships side by side, more than 2,700 three-oard warships would have to list the lengths of more than 70 miles of marching. In addition, there were baggage, food, logistics, and force. In addition, the lengths of these boats were not far from Daliang before reaching Daliang.
It took about half a moment before Meng Tian used his own language to tell Zhao Zheng what the so-called marching distance in later generations meant. Marine - camping, camping - march, this is the real basic skill of generals, representing the degree of control of the army freely. The formation and then fighting is just a side display of the degree of control of the army.
After listening to Meng Tian's long speech, Zhao Zheng's view of Meng Tian changed a little. He felt that the new general he worshipped did have family education. He immediately asked, "The General thinks how can the people of Jing be unable to attack me?"
"I think," I will have to go to Muzhai for five days before I go to the general. On these five days, the shogunate has discussed something. "If you decide to fight with the people of Jing, there should be more people, but fewer people."
"And it's a young man?" Zhao Zheng was shocked, and the ministers were also shocked, but the Jiang Sue present nodded a little and thoughtful.
"Yes." Meng Tian nodded with certainty. "I think that 300,000 people in Jing are enough to destroy Jing. This is convenient for marching and formation. If you lose, there are still 300,000 people. Jing people should be afraid of me and dare not attack me."
"I dare to ask the general," Wang Ben, who sat at the last time, stood up. Wang Jian said he had returned home due to illness, but he still had to serve in the army.
"Please say." Meng Tian didn't expect Wang Ben to stand up and speak, so he could only let him speak in public.
"Is the general trying to select 300,000 elite soldiers to fight against the Jing people?" Wang Ben asked. Before Meng Tian could answer, he said again: "These 300,000 people are the last elite soldiers of my Great Qin, and the rest are all weak soldiers. If these 300,000 people are defeated in one battle, what about the Great Qin?"
"There are only 100,000 people in Jing, how can 300,000 people be lost in one battle? Even if they are gone, how many people in Jing have left? This is one of them." Meng Tian replied. "General Wang said that he could fight with the Jing people next year. This is to defeat the spirit of the Jing people and get rid of them; the second is to train the soldiers to become elite soldiers. However, if the training is not completed today, how can they fight with them? This is the second is to do so.
King Jing knew that he was about to die, so he sent the princes of Jing State, craftsmen and boys to avoid Penglai. If I don’t die quickly, I will raise a tiger and leave it to my own troubles."
"Good!" Meng Tian's words were completely in line with Zhao Zheng's wishes. What Zhao Zheng was most worried about was to raise a tiger and suffer. After agreeing with Meng Tian, he looked at Wang Ben: "If General Xiao Wang does not want to fight against the Jing people, he will not be a general, and train his troops here."
If a general cannot go into battle and kill the enemy, he can only train the soldiers, then he is nothing. Zhao Zheng obviously helped Meng Tian establish his authority, and anyone who questioned Meng Tian would be punished.
