"Don't know??" Fang Yi glanced at everyone at this moment, and then asked.
"There is an agreement between the Gu tribe and us, but the battle between the barbarians and our human race is a life and death battle, so we have to fight the barbarians, but we don't have to do this with the Gu tribe." A general said after thinking about his words. .
"That's half right." Fang Yi no longer continued to tease people, but directly gave the answer.
"Everyone, do we have to use war to fight?" Fang Yi asked again.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in a daze. It seemed that they didn't quite understand the meaning of Fang Yi's words and didn't know what Fang Yi wanted to express.
"There is an agreement between the Gu tribe and our human race, so we didn't fight?" Fang Yi explained with a smile: "That's what I want to say, in fact, we also had a war with the Gu tribe, but it was just We just don’t use war to solve it.”
"Subduing one's troops without fighting is the highest state of war." Fang Yi said in a shocking voice.
"If you want to win a war, you don't necessarily have to use troops. For example, we won as soon as we reached an agreement and achieved a situation that is favorable to us. Do we still need to fight?" Fang Yi said with a slight smile.
"So that's it!!" Several generals suddenly understood at this time. This was not because they were showing off, but because they were really shocked by what Fang Yi said, and they were shocked by what Fang Yi said. .
Especially after Fang Yi said the words "subjugate the enemy without fighting", many generals felt that their world view had collapsed.
They are all strong men of the seventh and eighth levels of martial arts. They use force to repay the court and become generals. The meaning of their existence is to fight.
Warriors do not use their brains, except those who have practiced the art of war.
Fighting and fighting are completely different things.
"This is the first part I want to say." Fang Yi continued to speak at this time: "This first part is divided into these three steps. The focus is on three issues. One issue is the planning issue before the war. Whether Knowing yourself and the enemy, whether you have formulated a suitable battle plan according to local conditions. The second question is whether you have analyzed the pros and cons of the war, whether you have considered whether the war is worth fighting, and whether it should or should not be fought. The third question is whether There can be better ways to win. These three issues, I call them strategic operations issues."
Fang Yi also made a summary, striving to teach everyone the wisdom of Sun Tzu's Art of War in an easy-to-understand way.
All the generals were intoxicated. For so many years, they had led troops to fight, practiced the art of war, practiced martial arts, and strengthened themselves, all for the purpose of winning.
They have not studied the secrets involved, but even Luo Shenhou, who has so much experience in leading troops in war, has never summarized his war experience so thoroughly and clearly.
But this Lu Jiu was talking eloquently here, and he only said a few words to explain all these things clearly and clearly.
Genius, this is a genius who practices the art of war like a god! !
All the generals were extremely excited at this time, and even wanted to worship Fang Yi as their teacher.
"Next, what I want to talk about is the issue of combat command. The first big question just now may be a bit too vague. Next, I will talk about some practical things."
The generals listened carefully to every word at this time, for fear of missing something important, and from time to time they were still holding small notebooks to record what Fang Yi said.
"The first step is to form the military." Fang Yi said with a smile: "We are dispatching an army of 200,000 from Dali this time, and there are also Confucian and Taoist disciples, disciples of Jianghu sects, and even those who were recruited back from the original army. There are veterans in the Dali army, and the barbarian army has less than 100,000. From this level, we only need to achieve a battle loss ratio of two to one, and we can be in a stalemate with the barbarians, but if we can achieve a one to one ratio , or the battle loss ratio is reduced to less than two to one, we can win, and as long as our food and grass keep up, our military shape will surpass that of the barbarians. What I am talking about are the objective factors of the war, that is The situation we face.”
"The second step is military strength. The so-called military strength can also be simply understood as the deployment of troops. How is morale? If our morale is strong, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort, but these are on the battlefield. It’s ever-changing. Today we fight to grow and our morale is strong, and we can still win the battle tomorrow. But once we lose the battle and our morale is low, it will be a little difficult for us to win the battle in the future.”
"The third step is virtual reality." Fang Yi explained the steps above Sun Tzu's Art of War one by one. Each one was combined with the current reality, so it was very inspiring to everyone. At this time, every general raised his eyebrows. Ears, listen carefully to Fang Yi's guidance.
"The so-called virtual reality refers to the use of troops. You must be very clear about the terrain of the North. Let's give another simple example. I led 2,000 new soldiers and killed 800 barbarians with zero battle losses. How did I do it? Yes, that is, I took advantage of the yellow sand in the north. The yellow sand is very big, so it is good for us to hide. The reality is to use our troops flexibly. Under what kind of environment, we must adopt different combat strategies. In some special situations We must consciously guide the battle site, and then use the terrain to defeat the few with more, and the stronger with the weaker."
…
Fang Yi was tired of talking, so he came to the chopping board in the military tent. At this time, a general stood up quickly and motioned for Fang Yi to sit in his seat.
Fang Yi sat down unceremoniously. He was teaching them a lesson. They would definitely gain a lot after listening to Fang Yi's lecture. It was of course the right thing for him to sit here and lecture.
At this time, another general handed over the kettle very skillfully. Fang Yi took a sip, cleared his throat, and asked: "Have you all remembered these? If so, we will Keep talking."
"Continue, continue." The other generals said this repeatedly, asking Fang Yi to continue.
"The third part is the battlefield changes." Fang Yi continued to speak.
"This is also divided into three parts. The first part is the military struggle."
"The meaning of military struggle is that when two armies are fighting, the chance of war between each other is very important. Whether we can get the upper hand affects the final victory. We must try our best to gain the upper hand that is beneficial to us. Here Let me give you a negative example."
Fang Yi looked at Luo Shenhou at this time, and then said: "When we were fighting against the barbarians last year, I heard that Luo Shenhou personally led his troops and fought deep into the barbarian hinterland. As a result, he suffered heavy losses. Even Luo Shenhou was poisoned. Almost died."
Luo Shenhou nodded at this time, and everyone else also nodded. Each of them knew this matter very well, and each of them also knew this matter.
This is the worst loss Luo Shenhou has ever suffered since he became the marshal of the world's military forces.
"You see, this is because the military struggle was not done well. Deep in the North, that is the hinterland of the barbarians. The fighting force there does not belong to us. We have arrived in a place where we are unfamiliar with life. We don't know how powerful that force is. What, what the weather is like, what the terrain is like, how can we win when we don’t know these conditions? It’s completely impossible to win.”
"So from this perspective, I think if we want to win this time, we must first change our thinking. We cannot let the barbarians lead us by the nose. We need to wait for them to come."
"What do you mean, sit back and wait for them to come to your door?" At this time, a general asked quickly.
"The understanding is good." Fang Yi said with approval at this time: "Yes, that's it. If we want to win, we must bring the barbarians to our side. A hundred miles away from Yumen Pass, we are all Not only are we familiar with the terrain and weather in this area, but our soldiers are also familiar with it. They don’t need to adapt to the bitter cold of the north, they only need to fight at home."
All the generals present nodded at this time, indicating that they had learned.
What Fang Yi said is very practical and easy to understand. You don't need to think about it yourself at all, you just need to follow what Fang Yi said.
"The second big aspect is the nine changes. The so-called war requires ever-changing tactics. If you only use one tactic to fight hard, it is the courage of a reckless man. Let me put it this way, if you still rely on In the original way, if we continued to rely on stacking numbers to fight the barbarians, we would need at least 500,000 troops to defeat the 100,000 troops that the barbarians are dispatching now. Therefore, we need to adjust our tactics at any time to ensure Our tactics can adapt to ever-changing situations.”
"You can use guerrilla tactics today, but not tomorrow, then use positional tactics. In a word, our goal is to win, so we need to constantly trial and error and constantly adjust our tactics."
"The third step is to march." Fang Yi continued to speak at this time.
"Everyone must make a distinction clearly. This march is not a simple march. Many of our tasks must be completed during the march. For example, we need to observe the enemy's situation during the march. At this time, the importance of scouts is The nature is fully reflected. We need to train more scouts to help us detect the enemy's situation. On the other hand, the march needs to be fast and unexpected."
At this time, Fang Yi continued to teach a new method of leading troops, and everyone was thinking carefully and listening carefully.
