Chapter 896 Zhuge Liang Recommends Himself

It is impossible to conceal the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops. Because there are too many things involved, too many resources to mobilize, and too many manpower to mobilize accordingly.

Wang Yan did notice some of Cao's movements, but he had no spies inside Cao, really none, and could not grasp the details. He just thought that Cao was preparing to attack him after the autumn harvest.

But in fact, he also considered the possibility that Cao would come to attack him. Even if he didn't consider it, there must be a large army stationed at the border of the two sides' land. After all, there are so many troops on the opposite side, and there is no organized army to deal with it. Isn't that courting death?

There are 50,000 troops in Hanzhong, led by Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhou Cang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Liao. This is to deal with the war and facilitate dispatch. Wang Yan expanded the organization, and the guards were expanded from more than 6,000 to more than 9,000. Because of the terrain of the Bashu area, it is not suitable for generals who rush around, so Zhao Yun and other generals with flexible brains and guaranteed combat effectiveness were selected.

In the Yangzhou area, there are also 50,000 troops stationed, including Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Gao Lan, Taishi Ci, and Dian Wei leading the 3,000 Black Armor Camp. Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci are relatively stable, and the rest are reckless. Of course, it is not an insult to them. After all, their leadership ability is qualified, but they lack some flexibility.

Another thing is to separate Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Wang Yan is certainly not afraid of their rebellion, but it is better to separate them. The most important thing is that they are not at ease, and they are afraid that Wang Yan will think too much.

Being a big boss to Wang Yan's level is almost over. He also has to consider the thoughts of his subordinates, and he can't be distracted by messy things, which will affect his combat effectiveness.

As for Liao Hua and other generals, they are responsible for guarding the Sili area. In fact, Liao Hua, the silly boy back then, is now the real military boss. His position in the army is far higher than that of Huang Zhong and others.

Because Liao Hua's contribution was so great, he was awarded the title of Fenglangjuxu and Yanran, the highest honor for military generals that only a few military generals could achieve.

Moreover, he had a good boss. Wang Yan's system ensured that the grassland would not rebel. Even if Wang Yan died, if the grassland conflicted with the Central Plains in the future, it would not be a division of different ethnic groups. There would no longer be any tribes or leaders. Liao Hua had actually surpassed the achievements of generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Dou Xian.

However, the achievements of later generations are based on the achievements of their predecessors. The achievements of Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of Han can never be denied. After all, to be honest, the barbarians such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang and Hu that Liao Hua fought were all trained by Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others, and had been beaten and divided. It was not the peak period when the Xiongnu had the so-called Wang Ting before.

Liao Hua's contribution accounted for a large proportion. On the other hand, it was also because the military system of the Xiaoqiying was different. The cavalry under his command were all selected from other guards. After following Liao Hua for three years, he returned to his original army. After so many years, many of them served as captains and military marquises. These people also highly respected Liao Hua. In fact, Liao Hua had a strong influence in the military.

Of course, Wang Yan did not let Liao Hua go, not because of his great achievements and guarding against Liao Hua, but because there are many mountains in the south, the terrain is complex, and the cavalry combat is limited, so he did not let Liao Hua go.

Now for Liao Hua, it is already the stage of letting his horse go to the south mountain. It is not very useful to fight Cao Cao. After destroying Cao Cao, he is invincible in the world and has no opponent at all, so he is even less useful...

Wang Yan was not prepared for Cao Cao's surprise attack this time, but in fact, he did not need to make any preparations.

In summary, Cao Cao thought very beautifully, but reality still taught him what is skinny, and things did not go as smoothly as Cao Cao thought.

Although Cao Cao attacked suddenly, the quality of Wang Yan's army was not a joke. The cavalry who had been scouting discovered the movement of Cao's army at the first time, and then a firework rose into the sky, and then more fireworks exploded in the sky. When Cao's army came, the garrisons in Hanzhong and Yangzhou had quickly formed a team to meet Cao's army.

Guo Jia was in Hanzhong, and he was the first to detect the enemy situation and decide to counterattack. The war was about to break out, and they fought directly.

Although there was no one in Yangzhou, it was also a plain and hilly area. Although the climate was different, they had gotten used to it after so many years. Even if there was no one in the center to command and support, their past tactics and the instructions of Wang Yan's various departments also resisted the attack and launched a counterattack at the first time.

They were all fierce generals with rich experience in battle. There was no need to talk about any tactics, just to withstand the enemy's attack and then counterattack. If you were surrounded, you would ask for help, and if others were surrounded, you would go to help. If there were not enough troops, you would recruit militia on the spot to make up for the shortage. If there were not enough food and grass, you would first ask local officials to raise them and then replenish them later.

In summary, you just withstood the pressure and waited for the instructions of General Wang.

Actually, Lao Cao was right in one point. Wang Yan's army had indeed never seen blood, and many people had never experienced a battle. But unlike what Lao Cao thought, fighting was never that simple.

The army under Wang Yan's command was not strong because the soldiers had seen blood. Indeed, those who had seen blood and experienced battles had a deeper understanding of war and were more intelligent in fighting, which did have a certain impact. But this was not decisive. If you had never killed anyone, you could kill two people in a battle and feel the hot blood of others splashing on your face, and you would be calm.

The reason why his army is strong is its military system. Children study at the age of six. Even if there are not enough teachers, children in many places have not yet had the opportunity to study. However, local police lieutenants and retired soldiers also have to focus on martial arts training for six-year-old children. Or even if there is no government organization, the parents of these children are also retired soldiers. Wang Yan himself encourages such behavior. They themselves train their children at home and teach them to read and read.

From the age of six until the age of forty, militia training must be organized every year to rectify the military strength. However, the intensity of training is mainly concentrated in the age group of 18 to 32 years old. Now that there are more people under the rule, there are already many men who have never served as soldiers, so militia training must be serious.

After they reach the age of eighteen, they will apply, pass the screening, and join the army. In the army, you have to undergo training that exceeds the intensity of militia training, so that you can finally become a soldier fighting on the battlefield.

They have never seen blood or killed anyone, but they have learned the art of joint attack from the military formation to their core. When they arrived on the battlefield, under the command of the officers, their minds went blank and they didn't think much at all. They just mechanically repeated their training content. Therefore, whether you kill someone or not does have an impact, but in the military formation, this impact is not actually important.

Another more important point is that Wang Yan's army is thoughtful. This is not falsehood, nor is it an official cliche, because this idea is easy to use, and the military's fighting will is highly condensed.

Wang Yan never asked them to be loyal to him, and never asked them to fight for him or someone else. What he preaches has always been to protect his family and country and not let anyone bully his family and children. This has expanded to include not letting anyone trample on China.

They know very well what they are fighting for, and this is the key to high morale and invincibility.

Lao Cao underestimated Wang Yan too much, and his thoughts were too beautiful...

In Luoyang's study, Wang Yan shook his head and laughed after hearing the latest military information. He knew what Cao Cao was thinking and felt that Lao Cao was looking down upon him, so he thought it was interesting.

It's not that Lao Cao isn't smart or wise, or even if it comes down to it, Wang Yan's brain is actually not as good as Lao Cao's. Not to mention Lao Cao, he is not as famous as most people in the Three Kingdoms. He has never been a smart person. If he is really smart and capable, then he shouldn't live like that before he has the blessing of his living father.

Of course there are environmental reasons here, but no matter the environment, capable people will still live well. He can't sell many houses, and even if he's not the best seller, he's not as good as other players who sell tens of thousands a month. Don't talk about luck, don't look for random reasons, if it doesn't work, it just won't work.

But fortunately, his living father gave him a chance to improve. Step by step, he went from being a useless player to becoming the king he is today with the confidence to criticize Fang Sheik. The living father has cared for ninety-nine times, and the remaining one is the result of his continuous improvement over the past thousands of years, his continuous learning, improvement and enrichment. Everything he has gained has been learned by himself.

Of course, the living dad must praise and always maintain a humble heart.

What makes him better than Lao Cao is his accumulated wisdom. Lao Cao did not understand the importance of arming the army with ideas, and Lao Cao was also unable to improve productivity at this time. In fact, what Wang Yan has achieved today is something that Lao Cao and others could not even imagine, and their jaws had already dropped in shock.

This is the gap, and it is still a gap that cannot be made up.

However, with Wang's current accumulation, even if Lao Cao were to reform two thousand years later, and fight again now, Lao Cao would still be no match. After all, he is just mediocre, not useless.

What Lao Cao thinks is what he thinks, but the world is not like this. Lao Cao would never have thought of what kind of existence it is to be a cheater.

Ignoring the inexplicable smile of the big boss, Jia Xu knew very well that he shouldn't have unnecessary curiosity. If there was something wrong, the big boss would tell him. If he didn't tell him, it would be best not to ask.

So he turned to talk about business: "General, Cao Cao took me by surprise and raided our Hanzhong and Yangzhou to seize the opportunity. Although he thought that our army was overpowering him, he may not continue to take risks. If he deliberately diverts our troops, , to draw my attention, they can lead troops to attack Wuguan, which can reach our capital. Even if the pass is too strong to defeat, they can also bypass the Qinling Mountains, and they can also invade Nanyang to cause chaos in Henan, so we must guard against it."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile. Under him, Jia Xu was dedicated and dedicated, but he was not like the one under Lao Cao who only thought about how to protect himself wisely and never caused trouble for himself. Moreover, he also specifically consulted Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing on many ways to maintain their health. At this point, like Guo Jia, they both cherished their lives.

But Guo Jia is different. He is a romantic person. He can live and enjoy, so there is no need to die. Besides, Wang Yan is really a hero, who doesn’t want to take a good look at how great the empire is.

As for Zhang Zhongjing, he was originally from Nanyang and was an official. Over the years, Hua Tuo has never stopped communicating with Zhang Zhongjing, and he has long understood Zhang Zhongjing. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing did not lead his family to flee Jiangnan, but cooperated very well with Wang Yan's actions, killing the lawless members of the family and breaking up the family.

He himself entered medicine and served as the second-in-command of the Young Medical Order. Follow Hua Tuo and lead the team to study. Hua Tuo was engaged in surgery, while Zhang Zhongjing was engaged in internal medicine. The two of them cooperated, and the development of medicine was quite prosperous...

"General, Wen He is right to say it bluntly. Now that we are strong and Cao is weak, he must take risks. If he doesn't, he will not win. Not only Wuguan and Nanyang, but also the land of Tianshui, we must also be closely guarded."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Bei, who was also present, said this.

Wang Yan nodded and said: "What Xuande and Wenhe said are all reasonable. We should strengthen the defense of the capital, Tianshui, and Nanyang. In this case, we will leave Liao Hua to guard the capital and send Zhang Wu to lead troops to garrison Nanyang to prevent Cao's army. Cross secretly. Order Guo Jia to guard Qishan and Bajun's movements to avoid any opportunities that Cao's army can take advantage of.

Xuande was finally a Han warrior, and now Cao Cao is attacking me in the name of Han. Xuande cannot be unjust, so he and Wenhe supervise the country to coordinate the grain, ordnance, reserve troops, and the autumn harvest. I should personally go to the front line to supervise the troops and share the joys and sorrows with the troops. To unify the world, it is time to decide in one battle. "

"This world has long belonged to the general. If the general had not been unwilling, there would be nothing wrong with ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor." Jia Xu said beautiful words.

The old boy's beautiful words are casual, quite natural, and all sincere.

Seeing Wang Yan smile and not saying much, Jia Xu seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "General, there is Zhuge Liang, the magistrate of Ruyin County (Fuyang City) in Runan. His courtesy name is Kongming, he is twenty-seven years old.

He was born in the Zhuge family of Langya. In his early years, he went south to take refuge in Nanyang. His wife was from the Huang family of Nanyang. After I occupied Nanyang, he became an official. He was the head of Ruyin pavilion at first, then moved to the township head in two years, and was appointed as the county magistrate in four years. The Ministry of Officials plans to transfer him to Luoyang for later use.

However, the superior recommended himself, talked about the advantages and disadvantages of me and Cao Cao, told him the method of defeating the enemy, and wanted to serve as a military advisor. This is sparse, let the general observe it. "

Wang Yan was somewhat surprised. Is this a confident genius?

This was actually the first time he heard the news about Zhuge Liang. The transfer to the Ministry of Personnel was a "draft", which meant that it had just been inspected by the Ministry of Personnel and discussed at the meeting, and no formal document had been issued for the transfer. Now when I first heard that, not only did Prime Minister Zhuge become the county magistrate, he also recommended himself to the minister to serve as Wang Yan's military advisor and make suggestions. It was indeed a sign of confidence.

After taking the memorial from Jia Xu, Wang Yan opened it and read it. The article was very well written. The full text discusses the development of the war from three aspects, and judges that Cao Cao will act as he does now. He also makes the same guess as Jia Xu and Liu Bei, recommends increasing defense forces, and at the same time criticizes Wang Yan to a certain extent. The majestic use of military force.

It's not good to say this. The war has done too much harm to the people. If it lasts for a long time, the people on their side will be fine, but not many of the people on Lao Cao's side will die.

It advocates rapid advancement, large-scale in-depth penetration, quick end to the fighting, early restoration of peace in China, and preservation of more vitality.

The troops were divided into five groups, one to Hanzhong, one to Yangzhou, one to pass through Bashan and go straight to Shu, one to cross the river from Jiangling to Changsha, and the other to go south to fight Jiaozhi. The battle ended in two years, and the world was brought to an end in one battle, and the nationwide war was launched as soon as possible. A major construction project to achieve prosperity for all.

The latter part of the memorial expresses his thoughts, says some nice words, elaborates on his understanding of people-centeredness and the purpose of current policies, points out some shortcomings, and gives some methods.

The date of the review was last month. He was very insightful, foreseeable and quite strategic.

Although he criticized General Wang's majestic use of troops, he also fully learned from General Wang's spirit of loving the people. He just wanted to make the people of the world better, with fewer deaths and more good lives.

But in fact, there is something wrong with this, because the cost of pursuing quick victory is far greater than the current steady and steady approach. Fighting on multiple fronts, fighting across the entire territory, and penetrating deeply requires the use of more troops and greater consumption. It will increase the burden on the existing people and bring the war back to before liberation.

And another key point is that Lao Cao doesn’t give it in vain. This sudden attack actually caused some casualties to Wang Yan. Although the quality of the army is not as good as that of the armed forces, it still has many people. Hanzhong and Yangzhou have actually recruited local militia to supplement their forces. Wang Yan has ordered the entire army to support the following troops.

When Lao Cao's army is exhausted, one million must be bragging, but there must be six or seven hundred thousand troops. Accordingly, the army that Wang Yan wants to send out must be 200,000, and the follow-up recruitment will depend on the situation.

Furthermore, Wang Yan's push-and-pull strategy is actually not what Zhuge Liang said. After all, he is advancing steadily, and naturally he is also steadily gaining territory and people. A lot of people will definitely die. There is no way to avoid this. In a war, How could people not die? When the time comes, food shortage will be another tragedy in the world, but it is definitely not as much as Zhuge Liang said.

But Zhuge Liang's vision is indeed there, and there's nothing wrong with what he said. It just depends on how he chooses.

After reading it once, Wang Yan closed the memorial, threw it on the table, and said: "Zhuge Liang is indeed talented. Since he has recommended himself to join the army, he will be temporarily transferred to join the army and accompany me on the expedition. He will be appointed again after the war is over."

"Yes, General." Jia Xu accepted the order with his hands in hand.

"Just go."

Wang Yan waved his hand, and Liu Bei and Jia Xu stepped back and went about their own business.

Wang Yan's war machine began to activate, and militiamen began to be recruited from various places, organized into armies, and sent to the front line as second-line troops. At the same time, various materials were constantly transported to support the battlefield. Although the delivery had already started, there was not enough lost stuff.

There are also a large number of doctors and craftsmen responsible for battlefield rescue, weapon maintenance and other matters. In the follow-up, various doctors will even be dispatched to survey the land, and naturally construction will begin. Building roads and building bridges cannot be done casually, but must be planned and prepared.

General Wang's plan is to fight and carry out production and construction without adding too much burden to the people. Fighting is a very consuming thing. People have to eat and eat horses, and the treatment and pension of casualties, the loss of transportation, and the daring people who make money from war are looking for death. The burden on the people is bound to increase. As long as it does not affect their lives too much, there will be no problem.

It is worth mentioning that in this war, there are several of his sons. He is 42 years old this year. The first son was born to Zhen Dao and is now 20 years old. There are three other sons, all of whom are 18 years old. They have joined the army in the past two years. They have also married, and they all found their own wives. Some married the daughters of civil and military officials, and some married girls from good families.

Wang Yan did not have any requirements in this regard. He did not have to rely on these to win over his subordinates. Whoever did not obey would be finished. They were all children who knew each other in school, or childhood playmates. Of course, some children must have ideas and deliberately rely on marrying wives to connect with important officials.

Wang Yan actually has no requirements for his children and grandchildren. As long as they don't take bribes and pervert the law, and don't seek death, he won't care about them. But this is normal. With a father like Wang Yan and such a big empire, no matter how clear his father is, it is hard not to have some ideas. Who doesn't want to be powerful? Everyone has ambitions and always wants to achieve something. It's inevitable.

There is no doubt that since it has caught up with this time, those who have ideas have to join the army. Wang Yan, as a father, certainly doesn't care. The rules are there. If you have the ability, you will stand out, and if you don't have the ability, you will die.

Under his rule, even if the king of heaven comes, you have to be a small soldier and a pavilion chief honestly. Relatively speaking, the starting point for politics is much higher, after all, being a pavilion chief is an official.

But it's not that good, and the pavilion chief is also difficult. He manages an area of ​​ten miles in radius, and has obedient and disobedient clerks, village heads, and villagers with limited culture. The result of not doing well is to be demoted and become a clerk. Although the treatment of clerks is also very good, there is no official career in this life.

Now his sons are hiding their identities, and no one knows their identities. They are fighting for their lives on the battlefield. Wang Yan said very clearly that if they secretly do things and use their identities to climb up, the end will be worse than death.

This is of course cruel, cruel and ruthless for the relationship between father and son. But for players like Wang Yan who are good at being a father, it's just that. If you are not lucky, don't make trouble for yourself. After all, he has given you other choices, and the rules are also clearly stated. If you choose the road yourself, you have to bear the price yourself. It doesn't make sense that he can't die just because he is his son...

Wang Yan stayed for another week. After handling various preliminary tasks, he took his personal guards and went straight south, all the way to Jiangling.

He wanted to take a boat down the river, so that the speed would be faster. At the same time, he also had to see the defense situation on the other side of Jiangling. If there was a chance, of course he would cross the river and attack Changsha as Zhuge Liang said, and directly attack the old nest.

On the bank of the Yangtze River in Jiangling, Wang Yan was wearing a slightly thicker green robe. The autumn breeze blew the green robe and his hair fluttered. He looked at the Cao army on the other side of the river.

Next to him, there was a handsome man wearing the same green gown, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Without the feather fan, he seemed to be very uncomfortable and kept stroking his beard.

His eyes were also closely looking at the other side of the river, where many Cao troops were stationed and performing martial arts. There were also many warships on the other side, which was really heavily stockpiled.

He was thinking about how to cross the river to fight Cao...
