Chen Dao said: "Bei Zhi served in the Northern Army at the beginning.
Later, the emperor established the Xiyuan Army.
Bei Zhi was a hundred-man general at the time and was transferred to the Xiyuan Army as the commander.
Therefore, he was very familiar with the training methods of the Northern Army and the Xiyuan Army. , whether it is the Northern Army or the Xiyuan Army, they usually practice one day and have one day off.
On that day, the amount and intensity of the drills were not large, which cannot be compared with the current amount and intensity.
Moreover, the imperial army had no precedent of sending troops to fight in winter, let alone marching in the rain.
If they were allowed to send troops in winter and march in heavy rain at that time, During the march, the soldiers must be complaining."
"But it won't happen now.
There are two reasons: First, since the master changed the training method and increased the amount and intensity of training, the soldiers were still a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning and complained a lot, not to mention it was still in the middle of the night.
The emergency gathering and rapid march were even more painful, but on the one hand, the Lord ordered to increase the number of meals with meat every day, increasing it to three meals a day.
On the other hand, he strictly enforced military discipline, caught the example, and dealt with it severely.
After a group of people, this situation has been greatly improved.
Second, over time, the soldiers have adapted to the new amount and intensity of training.
They have three meals a day, plus one meal with meat.
They didn’t feel tired during the drills, and they had already adapted to the urgent gathering and marching in the middle of the night.
No one had any complaints anymore.
Strict military discipline prevented them from questioning the orders of their superiors, and they had to resolutely obey orders, so they dared to complain."
After Jia Xu listened thoughtfully, Wang Shuang also said: "It is true.
It has not been long since I took over the command of the infantry school, but I also found that these soldiers were not dissatisfied with the orders issued by their superiors.
People, they are all It's something you're forced out of, and if you force it for a long time, you'll become compliant.
This is just like a woman who doesn't want to talk to you at first.
If you keep pestering her, as time goes by, she will slowly succumb.
Same” Everyone laughed at Wang Shuang's words.
Liu Cheng raised his hand to stop everyone and said: "Although Wang Shuang's words are a bit rough, the truth is not rough.
That's the truth.
Soldiers are responsible for protecting the court and the people, putting down rebellions, and opening up territories.
They must be stronger than ordinary people.
How to make them stronger than ordinary people is to train them, train them hard, and fully tap the potential in their bodies, so that they can become stronger than ordinary people.
No, so it is very important to strengthen the training of soldiers.
Let's talk about military discipline.
In an army with strict military discipline, mutiny, subordinates' questioning, and opposition to superior orders will never happen easily, and the combat effectiveness of an army with lax military discipline will definitely be lower.
In an army without strict military discipline, if the soldiers are often dissatisfied with their superiors and often get into moods, how can they be allowed to fight against the enemy?
It only takes one charge and they will collapse."
"Having said so much, maybe everyone understands my idea.
You don't need to consider that sending troops in winter will make the soldiers dissatisfied and cause low morale.
These situations may occur in other armies, but in my case, Liu Cheng His subordinates will never appear.
Military orders are like mountains falling.
Once the military orders are issued, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, the soldiers will move forward without fear of death."
"The transportation of logistical baggage is indeed a big problem in winter.
Once it snows or rains and the roads are difficult to travel, it will definitely delay the arrival of the grain and grass baggage.
I have already considered this matter.
If we can increase the number of mules and horses in the baggage camp, The number of carriages can be greatly increased The speed of baggage escort.
In the past, one carriage was equipped with one mule and horse.
Now what if we have one carriage with two mules and horses?
In the past, there were only fifty carriages in a baggage convoy.

What if it is increased to one hundred now?
According to this general As we all know, Hanoi is a major county for raising livestock.
There are many pastures at the foot of the mountain and Taihang Mountain.
General Shi Tao, I will give you three thousand people to station here.
We will use this place as a transit station for grain and grass and baggage, and we will be responsible for collecting and purchasing grain and grass and baggage, and then sending other people to the front.
Recruit those horse ranch owners in the name of this general The mules and horses were used in the war, and they will be returned to their original owners after the war.
If there is any disobedience, they will be punished for disobeying military orders.
Prepare some warm clothes for the soldiers.
I remember that among the goods that I checked, there were a large number of valuable blankets.
Distribute these blankets to the soldiers."
Shi Tao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I accept my order from my humble position."
Liu Cheng looked at the generals and said: "Okay, now that the human factors and weather factors have been solved, we can send troops to fight.
However, the enemy did not solve these two problems.
They were lax in military discipline and after looting.
Satisfaction and cold weather are trapped in Linli County.
We will take advantage of this.
They think we are the least likely to send troops.
Attack them at the right time.
Only by taking them by surprise can you attack them unprepared.
Let the soldiers rest for another day tomorrow, but Shi Tao still cannot stop the morning and evening classes.
Three days of dry food, additional warm clothes and blankets must be in place before sunset tomorrow. , the logistics and supply camp must stay within three days of the main army.”
Shi Tao cupped his hands and said: "Yes" Liu Cheng looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wen He, how do you think this battle should be fought?"
Jia Xu thought for a moment and stood up and said to Liu Cheng: "My lord, Yang Feng's 30,000 cavalry are just a bunch of rabble.
There is nothing to worry about.
The key is that the 10,000 Huns cavalry are in trouble.
With the strength of our army, we want to defeat them."
It is not difficult to have these 10,000 Huns cavalry, the key is not to let them run away."
Having said this, Jia Xu walked to the map hanging next to him, pointed at it and said: "My lord and generals, please see that Yang Feng's bandit army and Yu Fuluo's Huns army are currently entrenched in Linli County.
If our army Pushing northward, after crossing the Qi River, the bandits and Huns' sentries will definitely discover us.
Their strength is just beginning to challenge us, but once they are defeated, they will definitely retreat.
They will be blocked by the Zhang River to the north, the Huan River to the east, the troops and horses of Quyi to the northeast, and the enemy to the south.
The main force of our army can only retreat towards Huguan or Dangyin County in the southeast."
Liu Cheng's eyes moved on the map, and he said: "If they retreat to Dangyin along the southeast direction, they will only die."
Jia Xu nodded and confirmed Liu Cheng's judgment: "Yes, the rivers around Dangyin County are crisscrossed and the water network is dense.
If they retreat to Dangyin County, they may be overtaken by our army before they can cross the river.
Therefore, the only way they can retreat is If my subordinate's guess is correct, Huguan should be under the control of the bandits now.
I suggest that we send a surprise force to Huguan as quickly as possible for a surprise attack.
At the same time, the main force of our army is also heading towards Huguan.
Rapidly advancing north, approaching Linli County."
Jia Xu's analysis of the situation won Liu Cheng's approval.
His eyes glanced back and forth at Chen Dao, Wang Shuang, Zhang Liao, Yang Ru and others.
Finally, his eyes fell on Zhang Liao.
He said solemnly: "Zhang Liao" "The subordinates are here" "There are still 3,000 barbarian light cavalry in the Changshui School Lieutenant.
I will give them all to your command.
The cooks in the army will prepare three days of dry rations for you at night.

Tomorrow morning, you will lead these 3,000 barbarian cavalry and set off with five days of dry rations.
After the raid on the pot is completed, send someone to report to the general as soon as possible."
Zhang Liao frowned and thought for a moment before standing up and clasping his fists and agreeing: "I obey."
Jia Xu looked at his look and asked with a smile: "Wenyuan, Huguan is a majestic pass.
When your three thousand cavalry arrive at the pass, they will be discovered by the bandits guarding the pass early.
Once the bandits are alert, you think with the cavalry, It’s probably impossible to break through Hu Pass.
I wonder if you have any good strategies to overcome it.”
Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said: "Military advisor, Liao knows that it is impossible to succeed if you want to attack hard and win.
You must find a way to win by surprise.
It's just that I haven't come up with a complete solution yet, so I can only act according to the opportunity."
Jia Xu waved to Zhang Liao: "Please come over here."
Zhang Liao knew that Jia Xu wanted to teach him how to seize the pass, so he immediately stepped forward and listened to him.
Jia Xu whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhang Liao nodded repeatedly, clasped his fists and said, "I understand, the military advisor gave me this advice." , seizing Huguan is a piece of cake.”
Liu Cheng had his own ideas in choosing Zhang Liao.
To raid Huguan, he must have troops and horses that can march fast enough.
Only light cavalry is the most suitable for this.
They are fast enough, can go into battle lightly, and can calmly bypass or avoid the enemy when encountering them.
It turned out that among the generals under his command, only Zhang Liao was most familiar with the cavalry marching method, and this was his test and experience for Zhang Liao.
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Liao set out with three thousand barbarian cavalry.
These barbarian cavalry included Huns, Xianbei, and Wuwan people.
The winter in the Central Plains was far less cold for them than in Monan.
I didn’t feel too cold even if I was traveling in this kind of weather.
When Liu Cheng sent off Zhang Liao and three thousand barbarian cavalry and returned to the prefecture in the city, it was just dawn.
He was about to pick up weapons and practice martial arts.
The soldiers guarding the gate came in and reported: "General, the prefecture chief Bo Yangjun wants to see you."
"Oh, please invite him in and arrange to serve tea in the lobby."
"promise" Liu Cheng began to practice combat skills, paying attention to Yang Jun who arrived soon after.
After an hour, he was sweating profusely and his body became exhausted before he stopped.
He handed the weapon to his bodyguard and washed up.
After changing into clean clothes, he came to the lobby to see Yang Jun.
"Your Majesty pays homage to the General" Seeing Yang Jun's respectful attitude, Liu Cheng did not embarrass him and asked, "Why did Master Yang come to see me today?"
"General, after I went back yesterday, I discussed it with the families of the merchants.
They tried every means possible to finally collect a box of money for each family.
I have already ordered people to pull them all over with carriages.
They are just outside."
Liu Cheng walked out of the lobby, stood under the eaves at the door and took a look.
He raised his hand and pointed at the large wooden boxes that had been removed from the carriage and said: "Open them all for me, the general, to take a look."
Each box was opened, and they all contained copper coins.
Liu Cheng walked down the steps, grabbed a handful of copper coins in one of the boxes, and slowly released his hand.
The copper coins fell into the pile and made a crisp sound.
"Very good" Liu Cheng was very satisfied and shouted: "Come here, go to the prison and release the person" "Yes" a soldier captain agreed.
Yang Jun immediately handed over to Liu Cheng: "Thank you so much, general.
Thank you so much, general.
I will not disturb the general.
