Chapter 198: Wrap-up Meeting


Having been in the late Han Dynasty for such a long time, Ma Chao also had some ideas about the construction of Hezhen Town.

Generally speaking, this moat is a relatively important building.

A moat is a man-made trench that is excavated by water, forming an artificial river that serves as a barrier for the city wall.

On the one hand, it maintains the security of the city, and on the other hand, it serves as a defensive means to prevent attackers from entering.

Generally, a moat in a town has a moat wall built along its inner edge, with a moat on the outside and a tunnel on the inside.

This greatly improves the defensive capabilities of the moat.

This does not mean that every town has a moat.

For example, the three counties of Guangwei, Nan'an, and Anding that were captured had only one trench and no moat.

The reason is very simple.

There are no rivers flowing through the three counties of Guangwei, Nan'an, and Anding, and the rainfall is not very abundant, so there is no condition for building a moat.

Generally speaking, cities and counties with moats either have abundant rainfall or have rivers passing through them outside the city.

The situation mentioned by Brother Xiang Chou can only indicate one problem, that is, the moat in Longxi County is drawn from the running water of the river and finally merges into the river.

Otherwise, if it is just stagnant water, if dozens of cartloads of sandbags are thrown in, the river will always overflow.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao suddenly stood up, stuck out his butt and looked for something in the tent.

When everyone was still confused, Ma Chao shouted loudly: "This is it!"

What Ma Chao took out was the map of Yu's Dingding Cauldron that he had shown Ma Teng.

This map, after being further supplemented and expanded by Shadow, was handed over to his subordinates.

It has already included Chang'an and Liangzhou, and its annotations and explanations are also very detailed.

"The topography of the land is the help of soldiers.

Anticipating the enemy's victory and calculating dangers near and far are the way of a general.

He who knows this and uses war will win, and he who does not know this and uses war will be defeated.

Young Master, if this time had been earlier, Even if you look at the map of Yu's Dingding, hundreds of soldiers will not die in vain."

Although Yang Fu said these words carefully.

But he also knew that literature would die in admonishment and military power would die in battle.

At this moment, all the generals of the Ma family were willing to fight to the death, and he, the civil servants, was the only one who could fight to the death.

If there is no one who can give advice, I am afraid that the integrity and role of civil servants will be lost.

"Of course.

This battle is someone's fault."

Ma Chao said, bowing outside the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, have a safe journey."

Everyone was silent, feeling sad in their hearts.

After a while, Jia Xu began to persuade: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no greater good.

Chao'er.

Since you have already known your mistakes, why not quickly see where the living water in Longxi County comes from?"

"Make several copies of this map of Yu's Dingding Cauldron and distribute it to all the generals.

A detailed large map should also be hung in the account for reference."

Ma Chao said to Yang Fu, the secretary next to him, before unfolding the map.

After Yang Fu responded, everyone gathered on the map and saw a thick ink line on the north side of Longxi County to represent the river, which flowed into Longxi County and then merged into the main trunk.

The note on the side says Weihe River.

Ma Chao suddenly remembered that the Wei River was not the source tributary of the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese people.

The amount of water is extremely abundant.

Longxi County diverts water from the Wei River to Longxi, and the water flow is naturally not small.

It is no wonder that dozens of bags of sand are thrown in.

I can only listen to it.

"Summon Xiao Tian quickly."

Seeing this, Ma Chao immediately remembered Xiao Tian who had been a scout before.

After a while, Xiao Tian entered and saw all the big guys discussing military matters, which made him feel a little nervous.

Immediately thinking of the young master's gentle temper, he calmed down and said respectfully: "Young master, I don't know what important matter you have to call me over."

"Brother Chou, this Xiao Tian is very witty and skillful.

He has also made great achievements in Xinping County and is the commander of our army.

Now he is officially included in the Shadow Camp.

You ask him to choose a few smart ones from the camp.

Sir, disguise yourself and go see how Longxi County leads the water from the Wei River into the moat."

Brother "Nuo" Chou is still a little confused: Isn't this just because the moat can't be filled up?

Is there any need to make such a big noise?

Afterwards, Ma Chao said something that surprised Brother Chou and left him confused: "Brother Chou, I never thought that you would know how to use terrain today.

If we can capture Longxi in this battle, you will be the first to achieve success."

Brother Chou was really a little stupid and said thank you with a confused look on his face.

When Ma Chao saw Xiao Tian also accept the order and leave, he looked very happy and did not notice anything strange about Brother Chou.

The remaining Jia Xu, Fazheng, Yang Fu and others were also somewhat excited.

We discussed again the ideas for future march formations.

During this period, Ma Chao also specifically proposed the two concepts of formation drills and military rehearsals, which won unanimous approval from everyone.

He said that although there was a small defeat in this battle, there were lessons learned from it. , but it is an indispensable and important experience for the Ma Jiajun.

It should be learned from and included in the books of military training centers for all outstanding non-commissioned officers to learn from.

At this summary meeting, everyone unanimously expressed that although the young master made mistakes deliberately, it was indeed a great blessing for the Ma Jiajun and the common people to be able to draw such experience from it.

Ma Chao did not dare to accept such praise, saying that the main responsibility still lay with himself, and promised to bury those fallen soldiers generously and treat their families generously.

Finally, the meeting came to a perfect conclusion in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere with sadness first and then joy.

After leaving the stage, Brother Chou was still confused and asked weakly to Yang Fu, who had a good relationship with him: "Yi Shan, I just said that the sandbags can't fill the moat, why are you smart people like you young master facing this?

Happy" After saying this, Pang De and Ma Dai, who also knew little about it, came to Yang Fu's side, waiting for Yang Fu to answer his questions.

Yang Fu was even more shocked and replied weakly: "Brother Chou, didn't you say that the sandbags can't fill the moat?"

"Yeah, what's the point?

It's just that the river in Longxi County is deeper, and the water flows faster."

Brother Chou replied awkwardly, and finally added one more sentence: "I just want to do the math, so I have to fill in the water."

How many sandbags are needed to fill the moat?

Where can we find so many sacks?"

After hearing these words, Pang De and Ma Dai both nodded.

It seemed that their thoughts were still at the level of Brother Chou.

Yang Fu slapped his head in pain, and said angrily: "Brother Chou, we thought you had thought of a plan to flood Longxi.

If the young master knew that you were thinking about useless things, what would you do?"

I still don’t know if the military merit will be given to you or not.”

"What does flooding of Longxi have to do with sandbags?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Brother Chou still didn't understand.

But Pang De seemed to have an idea and ran out quickly, not even looking back when the ugly brother yelled behind him.

"Yi Shan, what kind of madness is Ling Ming?"

"You are crazy.

He is rushing to order his subordinates to cut wood and make rafts."

"Oh, then I'll go too.

Anyway, I can't let him get the upper hand in anything."

At this time, Brother Chou didn't care about the floods in Longxi and Longdong.

Anyway, these clever counselors, if they say it's flooded, it will definitely be flooded.

If I don’t understand this question, I’ll think about it later or find time to ask it again.

But if Pound takes the credit, I’ll be in great disgrace.

"It seems that the young master still has a long way to go to create a group of generals who are both wise and courageous and can take charge of their own affairs."

Behind him, Jia Huhu sighed leisurely: This Pang De has the style of a general, but his strategy is still lacking; Brother Chou A strong general, although he has made progress, is more suitable for small-scale conspiracies; Ma Dai is okay, at least he is still young.

He is already fourteen years old this year.

When Ma Chao was fourteen, he had already emerged and became famous. state Since ancient times, the famous generals in the Central Plains have always been good.

It seems that training alone is not enough.

We also need to kidnap a few generals.

Otherwise, it would be very frustrating to have tens of thousands of troops under his command without anyone to command them.

Ma Chao also heard the conversation of these people and tapped his fingers on the table: It seems that only by arriving I went to Chang'an.

Not to mention the counselors, there were just Lu Bu's men, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

Well, Zang Ba was okay, and the other six strong generals were also fair.

I felt pity for Lu Bu, who was already living an uncomfortable life in Chang'an.

He no longer knew that someone was ready to poach him. s: There is only one update left.

I really feel like I’m going to die today
