People will definitely want more after they get something like this.
An excellent general must have his own basic plan.
Han Xin is exactly this kind of person. After he obtained the right to train alone, he was no longer satisfied with his soldiers just having enough to eat...
In fact, the food and clothing expenses of Qin soldiers basically have special regulations, and there must be no favoritism. According to different titles, the food available to them is naturally different.
In a sense, this is fair, but Han Xin knows that eating, in a sense, determines the combat effectiveness of the army.
According to the food ratio according to the title, 80% of the thousands of soldiers under Han Xin's command were in a state of not having enough to eat.
If you don't have enough to eat, you won't be able to train your troops... This is obvious.
There is not enough food, and a lot of training will only make people useless.
Han Xin began to try to request Meng Tian to allocate more grain and grass for use.
Meng Tian agreed to Han Xin's unreasonable request. Although there were legal provisions, exceptions were not unreasonable.
But Han Xin's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If possible, he certainly hopes that the food standards of his soldiers can support him to practice every day.
So, he once again sent an application for food and grass to Meng Tian.
As for Meng Tian...
Meng Tian in the tent looked at the military memorial handed over by Han Xin and rubbed his brows helplessly.
"He wants to practice every day..." Meng Tian sighed.
"How is the effect now?" Meng Tian looked at his general Su Jiao and asked.
Su Jiao, the official who had met Zhao Si before, was sent to Shangjun before the grand tour of the world.
In history, Su Jiao was Meng Tian's general, who was famous for his fierce and decisive fighting. After Meng Tian's death, he followed Wang Li, Zhang Han and others to suppress the uprising armies all over the world.
With his personal ability, Su Jiao became the second-in-command of the Longxi Army, second only to Wang Li.
From a humble family background, Su Jiao used his military exploits to enter the nobility system and climbed to a high position that he could not even imagine. In the true sense of the word, he became a glorious ancestor and rose to prominence.
It's a pity that his glorious life is just a foil to the magnificent lives of others, not even a foil.
Zhang Han refused to supply the Great Wall Corps with food and grass, resulting in extremely low combat effectiveness and morale of the Great Wall Corps. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and killed the leader, Song Yi, and led his troops across the river to engage in a decisive battle with the Qin soldiers.
The battle of Julu was the highlight of Xiang Yu's life.
However, Su Jiao's magnificent and striving life has left only a few strokes in historical records.
According to historical records, the Battle of Julu was ruined. King Su Jiao was surrounded by Shejian and asked Zhang Han for help. Zhang Han did not move his troops. When he was desperate, he fought nine bloody battles with Xiang Yu. Zhang Han retreated because of this. Su Jiao died in the battle and Wang Li Captured, Shejian set himself on fire and died.
History will only write about Xiang Yu's victory, but ignore the Great Wall Corps, which fought against Xiang Yu in nine bloody battles, with its generals setting themselves on fire and killing countless people when allied forces were immobile.
Now, Su Jiao had just studied under Lang Zhongling and had officially started a new chapter in his career. He was now Meng Tian's general and was in charge of training soldiers.
The officer who clashed with Han Xin when he wanted to have independent military training rights was Su Jiao.
"The results are very good, I am not as good as me." Su Jiao said seriously and gave his evaluation.
Han Xin has a low emotional intelligence and is not very disciplined, but Su Jiao has to admit that Han Xin is really capable.
Training soldiers under the same conditions, he would not be able to do what Han Xin is now.
"Now the soldiers under Han Xin can move like an arm. When military orders are issued, there is almost no delay. They can walk, sit and lie down as one."
"You are a capable person who can make you feel inferior. No wonder Zhao Siche can say that he has the ability to general millions of soldiers..." Meng Tian said with emotion.
Su Jiao was sent to the Great Wall Corps by Lang Zhongling to become Meng Tian's general. Su Jiao was in charge of military training. If he didn't have some accomplishments in military training, Meng Tian would not be able to hand over this important task to Su Jiao.
Su Jiao felt ashamed, Meng Tian felt inferior to himself, and when it came to military training, he and Su Jiao were just like brothers...
"It's hard to say if there are a million soldiers, but now it seems that Han Xin's 10,000 soldiers are probably more than enough." Su Jiao said sincerely.
"As a general, you must ultimately see the truth on the battlefield." Meng Tian nodded and silently approved Han Xin's request.
If you have the ability not to waste food and grass, you should give the green light as much as possible.
They have indeed converted food and grass into combat effectiveness, and Meng Tian does not want to cause any trouble at such a critical point.
If possible, he would prefer Zhao Si to have a good impression of the eldest son.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi talked about Zhao Si, and as Zhao Si's status became higher and higher, Zhao Si accounted for more and more of the brothers' letters.
Fortunately, Zhao Si, who was so close to the First Emperor, did not seem to be a sycophant at present, and he seemed to have a good impression of Meng Yi and even the eldest son.
"I'm afraid his talent is not limited to military training. If he can reach this level in military training, he will not be any worse on the battlefield. However, he has some problems with his thinking and should be put under control." Su Jiao said.
"After all, he is not from Lao Qin, so how can he follow the rules of Lao Qin so quickly? His lord is Zhao Si, so he cannot suppress him. Moreover, even if his lord is not Zhao Si, with his talent, he cannot suppress him... "Meng Tian shook his head.
Han Xin is from Huaiyin, and his thoughts are incompatible with the serious old Qin people.
Without the backing of Zhao Si, in Da Qin, Han Xin would probably be dealt with by military law in a short time.
If it were not in Da Qin, but in other countries, if there was no backstage, then Han Xin's emotional intelligence would sooner or later be hidden until death.
This person is too arrogant, but in the wrong place. Whatever he does will always give people a feeling of being taken for granted, and he also pursues his own concepts of right and wrong.
"Help me grind the ink..." Meng Tian shook his head.
This is not a bad thing, but it is just a good way to get in touch with Zhao Si.
There's nothing I can do about it, the eldest son Fusu is also a jerk.
I don’t know how many times things went wrong in the middle, but whenever there was a possibility of replacement, Fusu would have been replaced by the First Emperor. For Meng Tian, a prime minister who had been in the ups and downs for a long time, Fusu, who was already in his thirties, Su, until he is officially appointed as the crown prince and everything is settled, he cannot be considered stable.
Before that, it would be safer to be more secure.
Even if it is just a trivial kindness, it is very precious in Meng Tian's opinion.
Zhao Si, who was still driving towards Xianyang, was taking a nap quietly under the late autumn sunshine.
Zhao Si was the driver, so he was driving while fatigued.
But fortunately, this is a carriage, and it can be regarded as semi-intelligent driving. For such a large convoy, the speed is not much faster, and the walking is almost like walking. Zhao Si can't drive wrong even if he lets go of the car.
"It's boring..." Zhao Si yawned widely.
"I don't know where Jing went... The arrangements in Indonesia should have been completed, right? Then we just need to follow the ocean current north to go to America..."
(Qixi Festival, you know, it’s gone.)
