Bai Qi was not in a hurry to express his thoughts, and asked Bai Yunfan with a smile, "I want to hear that if my brother led his troops to fight against the Huns, how would you fight?"
"What? Want to take the test of brother?" Bai Yunfan said.
"I dare not, I just want to hear what my brother means first." Bai Qi said.
"Since that's the case, I'll talk about it first." Bai Yunfan took a sip, turned around and returned to the desk, walked back and forth for a while, and then said: "Lao Qi, from the perspective of military tactics, the way of using military should be based on righteousness and supplemented by strangeness. You should read all these in books, so I won't talk much. Let's talk about the specific situation of Jiezhou so that we can be targeted."
As he said that, Bai Yunfan pulled out a map from the table, expanded it and pointed to the map and said, "Lao Qi, look. Under the Jiezhou system, the borders with the Xiongnu and Zhang Chu are Liao County and Yuanhe County respectively. Once the war begins, the two places will be the first to be affected. Jiezhou has 50,000 soldiers, and I have placed 5,000 infantrymen in these two counties. My requirement for them is that once the war breaks out, we will hold the enemy as much as possible, and at the same time quickly call the police to Jiezhou."
Bai Qi stepped forward and looked at the map, frowned for a while and said, "These two places are 60 miles away from Jiezhou respectively. Although reinforcements from Jiezhou can be arrived in one day, once the Xiongnu surrounded them and did not attack, they will use the mobility of the cavalry to annihilate the reinforcements in the field, and it is impossible for the two cities to defend."
"This is what I worry about the most. Under the Jiezhou system, the terrain is plain, which can fully utilize the mobility of the cavalry. Once the Huns fight, I can only do so.
Give up these two cities and shrink their troops to defend Jiezhou. This is the right way. Secondly, once the Huns attack, I will be a strong wall and clear the fields, and all the water sources will be destroyed, so that the Huns will not find food and drink. In this way, they can greatly lengthen their supply lines. I will send a large number of small teams to attack the Huns' supply lines. In this way, the Huns cannot capture them for a long time, so they will naturally retreat without fighting." Bai Yunfan finished his strategy in one breath. Bai Qi smiled and said with a smile: "I am too relieved to think like this, even if the Huns fight, it will be fine if they have been guarding for a year and a half."
Bai Yunfan was not too happy, but smiled bitterly: "In this way, the people from all over the country will definitely suffer. There is one thing I worry about the most."
Bai Qi asked with confusion after hearing this, "What are you worried about?"
Bai Yunfan did not answer immediately, but looked at Bai Qi first, and then said: "In the 30th year of King You of Zhou, 200,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu attacked, and Zhang Kezhi, a famous general of the former Zhou, led a 300,000 army to defend him, and both sides fought in Jinyang. Zhang Kezhi was unable to defend himself. The Xiongnu army circled outside the city for half a year, but he returned without justice."
This battle recorded in "The Chinese War Records" made Bai Qi, who had spent a lot of time to understand the world, understand Bai Yunfan's concerns. Zhang Kezhi was unable to end up in the end. The Xiong Pass of Jinyang, which the Huns tried every means to break through, was repeatedly issued an order by the eunuchs around him, and the result was imagined that the former Zhou army, which was dominated by infantry, encountered a devastating blow from the Hun cavalry in the field. Thirty-six puddle outside Jinyang City, more than 200,000 former Zhou soldiers fell under the bows and arrows and sabers of the Huns, which are known in history as the "Jinyang Dilemma".
Jinyang City is now called Jiezhou.
Bai Qi, who understood that Bai Yunfan was worried, explained: "Brother, don't worry about these things. The current king is not the former Zhou emperor. Besides, even in the wild, we are not unable to fight against the Huns."
Bai Yunfan heard this and smiled and said, "I knew Lao Qi, you have many ideas, so don't hide it. I saw that the Nian had been in the circle for a long time and just wanted to tell me this and explain it quickly."
Bai Qi was not talking too much and said with a smile: "The advantage of cavalry in field combat is certainly obvious, but we can do something about infantry equipment. I thought about it for several days and combined with some of the master's teachings, I came up with something. These things can greatly improve the combat capability of infantry against cavalry. But if you want to produce these things, you must cooperate with me."
Bai Qi brought out the signboard of Izumizi, which immediately increased the credibility and also increased Bai Yunfan's confidence.
"Whatever you want to cooperate, just say it out loud, brother will do his best to satisfy you." Bai Yunfan couldn't wait to know what Bai Qi sold in the gourd.
"First of all, I need a large workshop. Brother, you can go and find more places. Then I will decide. Secondly, a large number of craftsmen. The more blacksmiths and carpenters, the better. I also need to select a group of masters with superb skills and experience. Some of my things are just in the conception and need to discuss with them. I believe that once the things I imagined are produced in large quantities, even if our infantry encounters the Huns in the field, even if they can't win, they will still have the remaining strength to fight to the death."
Out of trust in Bai Qi and Bai Qi's outstanding performance recently, Bai Yunfan agreed without more consideration and said, "Leave everything to my brother, but you have to wait for you to come back from the capital to make the final decision. Lao Qi, how sure are you to deal with this matter properly?" This is the question Bai Yunfan is most worried about now.
"Brother, please relax. I have my own solution to the matter in the capital, and I guarantee that there is no problem at all." In fact, Bai Qi's words were also comforting Bai Yunfan. Although Bai Qi had nothing to worry about, he would leave if he really couldn't do it, but he was just afraid that he would implicate others. Sometimes he still had his own responsibilities and blindly evading and shirking responsibilities was not done by a gentleman. Although Bai Qi did not think he was a gentleman, he was unwilling to be a villain.
"Lao Qi, it's interesting to say that the Bai Su family, which was originally incompatible with water and fire, has been surprisingly collaborating recently because of your reasons. They are much more polite to each other, at least on the surface. There is another thing I said, don't be angry, but my father actually said in the letter, asking me to find someone to draw a portrait of you and take it back. He said he didn't even remember what you look like."
Bai Yunfan's words made the whole scene a lot more dull. Bai Qi could only smile bitterly and shook his head. Yes, his child born by a maid is really insignificant in the Bai family. If there were no Xue Feihong and Su Xiangyun, it would be no different from having himself in the Bai family. Destiny is so strange. Bai Qi, who originally wanted to be an ordinary person, was pushed to the front stage by fate and pushed to the forefront.
Bai Qi quickly changed the topic and said, "Brother, I'll just get over this matter. I'll see him when I go back? I'd better let you see something first, and you'll be happy when you see it." Bai Qi took out a few spherical objects from his arms, nothing else, but Pilizi made by Izumoko.
The black Pilizi didn't look conspicuous at all. Bai Yunfan was surprised when he saw this. Bai Qi got this thing from where he said he would be happy after seeing it.
"What is this? Lao Qi."
"This is my master's exclusive invention, called Pilizi. After the explosion, it is powerful and can be said to be a favorable weapon for infantry to deal with cavalry." Speaking of which, the ones loaded in Pilizi are mostly black gunpowder. Compared with the TNT that Bai Qi had seen and the nuclear weapons in TV in his previous life, this thing is simply a pediatrician. However, in this day, gunpowder is undoubtedly a shocking thing. Weapons made of gunpowder are undoubtedly absolutely leading in destructive power, and can also be said to be the ancestor of hot weapons.
It is not difficult to get gunpowder out, but Bai Qi is still a little contradictory in his heart. In the history of his previous life, human progress has been accompanied by war. The places where various new technologies were first used were also in wars. Now that he uses gunpowder himself in war, will the world develop to the point where nuclear weapons can destroy the world countless times in n years? Bai Qi is unknown, but at least this is a big trend.
However, Bai Qi has not much choice now. After all, gunpowder has already existed objectively. Even if he doesn't use it first, there will always be someone to use it in the future. What he did was just to let the gunpowder play a role in the war earlier.
Of course, Bai Qi couldn't say that he could make gunpowder, and even the gunpowder he made was better than what Izumiko made himself, so Bai Qi couldn't explain it. With the flag of Izumiko to resist, it really saved Bai Qi a lot of trouble.
"Lao Qi, is this thing as effective as you said?" Bai Yunfan was a little worried. After all, from the appearance alone, this is just a lump, nothing special.
"Hehe, I'll let you see the power of this thing tomorrow."
The night passed quickly in the reminiscence between the two brothers. I don’t know how long it took, how much wine I drank, or when and who drank it. When Bai Qi woke up again, it was already afternoon.
"Where is the eldest brother?" After hangover woke up, this was the first thing Bai Qi asked.
Qin Yushu, who was serving, replied with a little dissatisfaction: "You are right to be happy when you see your elder brother, but you can't drink so much wine. My elder brother is like you, and he has not woken up yet. The girl Nalan is still waiting to talk about food transactions with her elder brother. Also, although Sister Bingyan didn't say anything, she saw that her elder brother was worried about her because she drank too much, and I was anxious when I saw her. You should not do this in the future."
Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Woman! Women! Why are sometimes things that come out of the assembly line? Sometimes women will never understand the matters between men, and even Qin Yushu cannot avoid the vulgarity."
Bai Qi didn't say anything, and began to think about other things in his mind. Seeing that Bai Qi didn't listen to his words at all, Qin Yushu, whose expression began to gloomy, closed his mouth consciously.
