I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
When the Huai Kingdom comes, good days are coming for the people! When the Huai Kingdom comes, there will be blue sky!
Bashu was quickly occupied by the Huai State at an unimaginable speed, and officials began to be dispatched to take over various places and implement the Huai State's policies. There are a large number of soldiers stationed in various places. The local powerful people in Bashu dare not resist at all. At most, the former benefit recipients only dare to make some small moves secretly. However, with the support of the grassroots people, these people cannot make any trouble at all.
The Huai Kingdom's transformation of the Bashu land was progressing very quickly. The Qin Law was not without its merits. After all, seriously speaking, the Qin Law was also developed from the Huai Law. However, the Qin Law took the policies of fooling the people and controlling the people to the extreme. .
Le Yi sent Chen Song as the vanguard and led his army to Jianmen Pass, hoping to get this gateway in the middle of Shu. With Jianmen Pass in hand, Hanzhong and Jiangzhou in hand, the land of Bashu is basically completely stable.
Because of Sima Cuo's military order, Chen Song's army marched without any obstruction. Wherever it passed, the Qin army at each pass basically chose to surrender. Even if they did not surrender, they would be tricked into opening the city gate by the Qin surrendering army. Then they swarmed up and killed the general,
In just one month, all the passes from Chengdu to Jianmen Pass were occupied by the Huai Kingdom. After occupying Jianmen Pass, Chen Song did not continue the attack.
Even the flag of the Qin army was still hanging, and the Qin army was still allowed to defend to prevent the news that the Bashu land was captured by the Huai Kingdom from leaking out.
After the Bashu land was occupied, most of the strategy to attack Qin had been completed. As for the northern expedition to Guanzhong from the Bashu land, neither Wang Xu nor Le Yi had such plans for the time being. The main reason is that the road to Shu is difficult to travel.
Especially after Le Yi came to Jianmen Pass, he had a clear understanding of the world's most powerful passes. The road in front of Jianmen Pass could only allow a few people to pass side by side, and there was a drop of hundreds of meters in front. In this kind of terrain, as long as there are no problems with the defenders with the sword gate closed, only a few hundred people can block tens of thousands of troops here.
Compared with here, the journey to Hangu Pass can be considered smooth.
Such difficult roads make the land of Bashu easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also becomes very difficult to attack from the land of Bashu. Moreover, even if a large army is needed to destroy Qin, and troops from Bashu are needed, it can only be a partial army. Hanzhong sent troops to Guanzhong, which was stronger than Shuzhong. Whether it is Baoxie Road or Chencang Road, the army can pass through.
Hanzhong.
The Qin army advanced from Baoxie Road and Chencang Road. Bai Qi led the army to Baoxie Road. Unfortunately, Wei Zong had already built a camp in Baogu Valley at the exit of Baoxie Road. The Qin army needed to break through this camp before they could enter Hanzhong. .
Wei Zong used this place to block the Western Chu army's attack on Guanzhong, and then asked Hanzhong relatives to come to persuade them to surrender. This directly destroyed the Western Chu army's morale, and tens of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant.
But this time the Qin army came, so don't even think about such a good thing. The Qin army fought hard and the terrain of Bao Valley was not too dangerous. Faced with this kind of war that involves fortification, stupid fighting, and attrition, even Bai Qi has no good solution.
But this time the Qin army came, so don't even think about such a good thing. The Qin army fought hard and the terrain of Bao Valley was not too dangerous. Faced with this kind of war that involves fortification, stupid fighting, and attrition, even Bai Qi has no good solution.
At this time, more than 90% of the tactics are useless, and the only option is to send large armies to attack and siege the city.
On the other side, the Qin army left Mian County through Chencang Road and wanted to attack Hanzhong, but was also blocked by the Huai army. Although Mian County is very close to Nanzheng, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. Although it is not as good as the Shu Road, it is not much better.
The 100,000 Hanzhong Army and the army led by Bai Qi were fighting fiercely. In order to conquer Hanzhong, the Qin State went to great lengths, and a large number of soldiers died in Baogu Valley every day. The Qin army was not afraid of death and was still unable to break through the Huai army's defense line. The entire Bao Valley is like a meat grinder, constantly bleeding out the Qin State.
Regarding the battle of defending the city, the military strategist school of the Huai State already had special teachings. The Huai State implemented the inner and outer courtyard model for the Mohist school of craftsmanship skills, the Gongshu school, and the military strategists.
The Mohist disciples in the outer courtyard only study Mohist ideas, martial arts, etc., while the Mohist disciples in the inner courtyard only need to have a rough understanding of various ideas and concepts, and spend more time and energy learning various instruments, natural phenomena, and tool inventions. Creation and more. Disciples from the outer courtyard can travel to other countries, but those from the inner courtyard can only stay in Huai Kingdom.
Of course, for the disciples in the inner courtyard, the Huai royal family would subsidize these people every year, and even the best among them would get positions as craftsmen's supervisors. Huai Guo was very fond of these people. The same treatment as these inner court disciples also includes the inner court disciples of the military family.
The Military Academy is more about various strategies, plus some things from other schools of thought. Study the theories of Zongheng School, Legalism and other schools for your own use. Of course, this kind of strategic thing requires a very long-term vision to a large extent. To put it bluntly, it requires talent. If you don't have enough talent, learning is useless. Of course, if you can learn it, you will definitely be a top talent.
In addition to learning these things, the military disciples in the inner courtyard also need to learn how to arrange troops, how to lead troops, how to direct attacks, and even have special courses for setting up camp and cooking. Huaiguo divided the course of war into a large number of subjects. As long as they can study these subjects seriously, then send them to the military camp to serve as corps commanders and then train them through practice, it won't take long for them to grow into suitable generals.
This method can train some generals in batches. Although these generals often only lead the army step by step, they are more than enough as middle-level generals. As for whether they can become famous generals in the future, it depends on their own qualifications.
With this kind of education system, it is difficult to teach outstanding generals, but there are many qualified generals. Having a large number of qualified generals makes Huai's army stronger.
Xu Chao was a disciple trained under this kind of education. As a son of the clan, Xu Chao was supported by the Huai royal family since he was a child and studied with the royal family. Later, because he liked military affairs, he was arranged to learn military skills. The learning process was boring and hard, but he enjoyed it and finally completed the course in five years. After completing his studies, he entered the army as a corps commander and spent another ten years. Became the commander-in-chief of an army.
Now he serves as Wei Zong's deputy and guards Hanzhong. Not long ago, Bai Qi commanded an army to attack a camp in Baogu. Because he valued Bai Qi, Wei Zong personally went to take charge of the camp and gave him the task of guarding Hanzhong and fighting against the Qin army in Mian County.
Xu Chao was very confident about defending Hanzhong, but he did not want to defend in such a step-by-step manner. He felt that he should take the initiative to deal with the Qin army in Mian County, or even capture Mian County with a large army, cutting off the Qin State's road to Bashu.
