Kou Feng struggled to control the march of more than 200,000 troops. Even though he had learned the theoretical knowledge from military books, there was still a wall between theory and reality. How to get from here to there could only rely on practice. to solve.
It is very simple to say it, but in practice, it is extremely difficult. After all, Kou Feng is just an ordinary person with good qualifications, not one of the famous generals in history who are close to gods.
"Don't panic, spread out the scouts on a large scale. Since we can't react in time, let's increase the scale of the scouts. We have more people, we can release thousands of scouts, and increase the scout's detection distance. , others have thirty miles, we can get fifty miles, so that even if we are attacked, we have more time to react." When Kou Feng was in a hurry, Lao Kou tried his best to use his brain to solve the problem for Kou Feng.
"Yes, let the scouts run farther away so that we can have longer reaction time." Kou Feng nodded, feeling that this was correct.
"Don't put too much pressure on me. You can't command, and neither can the other party. Do you think the Dalit-Chula dynasty generals will have the opportunity to receive your kind of education?" Lao Kou patted Kou Feng because he was nervous. He said with a smile with his already stiff shoulders.
This is the truth. Although Lao Kou felt that he could not win, he still dared to fight because he was somewhat confident. At least Lao Kou had a clear mind. No matter how scumbag his son was, at least he had experienced a complete princely education and learned everything he should learn. .
Although due to problems of aptitude and character, as well as the inheritance of heirs, the family has been somewhat disconnected, and Kou Feng's generation has a tendency to dote on him, which has led to the fact that even if he has learned some things, Kou Feng has not learned them in his heart, but no matter how bad he is, at least Kou Feng Feng is learned.
These things are in Kou Feng's mind. Even if he doesn't study them well, as long as he actually encounters that kind of situation, there will still be an impression in Kou Feng's mind. If it doesn't work, it's okay to ask himself. Will he not tell Kou Feng? What a joke.
As for the people of the Dalit-Chola dynasty, Lao Kou has carefully understood that those people's origins are worse than beggars in the Han Dynasty. Beggars in the Han Dynasty are at least free people. When there are too many beggars, the country will Take the initiative to organize these refugees to reclaim wasteland, so that these beggars can become free people again. If they no longer want to be beggars, they can also sell themselves as servants.
From what Lao Kou learned about, Dalits probably belong to the category of animals, and they are still not as good as the animals raised by upper castes. At most, these animals look like humans.
Although Lao Kou was a little confused and dissatisfied with this kind of behavior, after all, the Central Plains had not yet developed to the level of treating people as animals as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, princes like Kou who built their families by military exploits had a good understanding of the common people. Never underestimate any soldier.
Because compared to knowledge that needs to be passed down, sometimes you have to learn war for a lifetime. It is really not as good as others to counterattack intuitively, calculate, calculate, just rely on feeling to fight here. Follow me, and then you can win this kind of thing, history How many times has this happened?
This is also the reason why Lao Kou dared to bet. Although the Dalit-Chola dynasty did have some capable guys because of its absolute fairness, how many people can those guys command?
Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand? This is the limit, and there can be no more. And the Kou family has raised 190,000 troops and 60,000 civilians to transport food and grass. Considering the situation of the Dalit Cholas, they may have to use an army of more than 200,000.
It's not that the other party can't produce an army of this size, but more realistically, there is absolutely no one in the Dalit-Chula dynasty who can command such a size.
Even more exaggeratedly, after the Dalit-Chula dynasty formed an army of this size for the first time, various problems were enough to bring down the Dalit-Chula dynasty.
There is no military manual, it all relies on feeling. Unless you are really genius to the point of having no solution, you can solve all the problems that the army commander has faced for thousands of years by thinking.
To be honest, Lao Kou felt that if his family was unlucky enough to encounter such an opponent, it would be natural to lose.
But such low-probability events can be almost ignored, and low-probability events can be ignored. If he thinks about the problem in the most normal way, wouldn't it mean that the commander-in-chief of the Dalit-Chola dynasty is even more rubbish? Is it worse than Kou Feng?
Lao Kou's explanation made Kou Feng feel at ease a lot. Yes, the other party is more rubbish than me. Don't panic. It will be rubbish fighting rubbish to see who can be promoted to the outstanding rubbish.
"Yes, keep this momentum." Lao Kou said with great satisfaction. Since it will be a collision between garbage then, whoever has more energy and simpler will will be more able to win. This road itself is It is paved with the corpses of our enemies and ourselves. Don't be afraid, just kill them.
In this way, Kou Feng took his own elite army, the regular troops lent to them by the Han and Deng families, and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous fish in various twisted marching states, and successfully traveled south to the border of the Dalit-Chola dynasty. During this period, Lao Kou and his son tried their best to solve all marching problems.
"Finally arrived, I actually did it." Kou Feng looked at the soldiers of the Chola Dynasty who were facing a formidable enemy, and said with emotion. There were so many problems along the way, but he didn't expect that he could actually solve them all. .
"I've told you, our family's art of war book has recorded every problem. As long as we deal with it step by step, we will definitely be able to solve it. Don't panic, we will definitely win." Lao Kou said to Kou Feng with strong confidence. , along the way, Lao Kou became more confident than Kou Feng.
After all, I had never commanded an army of this size before, and I couldn't understand the problems described in my ancestor's handwriting. Eating, getting water, and even going to the toilet were all problems.
However, after actually commanding an army of 200,000 people and walking through it, Lao Kou felt that the link he had doubts about at the beginning suddenly became clear. It turned out to be this. It turned out that the ancestor's handbook ordered this treatment because the next link would involve this issue. Can you die by writing down the relationship between the two parties?
In fact, writing these things down will really kill you. If you don’t practice them and realize these internal connections yourself, relying only on military books. To be honest, it is no lie that what you learn on paper will always be shallow. No matter how much you learn about military books, in the end, It also depends on practice.
Those who do not write about those internal connections, study hard and have no practical experience or field research are useless, no matter how eloquent they are, they cannot deceive the real commanders. At least they can prevent major mistakes such as talking on paper, which is good for everyone.
As for self-examination, practice and understanding of internal connections, and then integrating the knowledge in books, if nothing else, at least the foundation is solid, and the rest is hands-on practice.
Lao Kou did not have this understanding. He just felt that he finally understood the content of his ancestors' military books, and not only understood it, but also comprehended its connotation.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Lao Kou feels a lot more confident. He will not be Dalit. The Chola dynasty still does not know that the Kou family has sent troops. The other party must know, but they know that the army has not yet arrived. Arrival, it means that the other party is also trapped in those problems.
This is great good news and shows that the other person is also a normal person.
Since we are also normal people, we Kou family have learned it at least, but you have never learned it at all, why should you compare with us?
A great war began, and the Kou family easily won the victory. The northern border of the Chola Dynasty was directly conquered by the Kou.
Although many accidents happened during the fight, for example, until the battle was won, some of the rear troops still did not enter the battlefield. During the battle, the army was crushed by force, and the cooperation between them was almost zero. , when the opponent was overwhelmed, our own army was also affected.
During the planning and construction period, some soldiers inexplicably found their way to other legions, military beheadings could not be calculated clearly, the front line generals did not know what they were doing after the battle, and during the pursuit, members of the army chased them away, etc.
In short, there were many problems, so many that even Kou Feng had a headache, but he won in the end. Victory always builds prestige, and with prestige, one can deal with and rectify such problems.
"Set up a team to supervise the battle, and then restore the pre-Qin method of recording merit, which is based on the number of heads." After discovering that Kou Feng really couldn't come up with any good way to deal with these problems, Lao Kou decisively came up with his own plan that was not very good, but at least it worked. .
"But as for the Supervisory Team, how can we form one?" Kou Feng said helplessly. It's not that he couldn't think of a plan to form a Supervisory Team. He couldn't form a Supervisory Team. He couldn't tear down his own personal guards to form one. .
"Recruit the soldiers who were beheaded in this battle, and each of them will be promoted by one level." Lao Kou did not answer Kou Feng's question, and instead came up with another plan.
"I understand. Promote these soldiers who have seen blood and killed the enemy to captains and team leaders, and then use the backbones that we split before as the supervising team." Kou Feng is not a pure fool. With dad’s prompting, I quickly figured out what to do.
After having the correct plan, Kou Feng immediately started to deal with the matter. Soon a team of supervisors was formed, and all the soldiers who had beheaded the enemy were promoted to one level. Among them, the warriors who killed five enemies were directly promoted. It’s time to manage five hundred people.
The efficiency of this front-line promotion and the attitude of generous rewards made these young men and prisoners from Guishuang instantly feel the improvement of their class. Why can the military merit system support the frame of the Qin Dynasty's southern and northern wars? To put it bluntly, this is An attitude of reward for meritorious deeds.
What's more important is that this kind of reward is clearly priced, and there is no need to kowtow to anyone. As long as the ability is strong enough, as strong as Bai Qi's, one person can break through the entire military merit system, even if the appearance is only level 10. As for the title, as long as I kill hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on a whim, I can max out the level in one battle.
In an instant, the young man from Nangui’s subjective initiative was mobilized.
