Great Military Division

Chapter 156 Tie Hanhan Sun Jian, come to the bowl!
Nanyang, Wancheng.

Fight all night.

Liu Bian finally recorded all the mandarin duck formations.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, he rode his horse straight to the barracks.

At this moment, the soldiers of the barracks have entered the training state.

Liu Bian walked all the way, inspected briefly, and saw Zhang Liao riding his horse to meet him.

"Your Highness~~"

Zhang Liaofei got off his horse and hurried forward to salute: "The final general didn't know that His Highness came to the barracks, and he never greeted him from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be too polite: "Gu didn't say hello in advance, it has nothing to do with the general, get up, let's go back to the barracks, I have something important to discuss with you."

"promise."

Zhang Liao agreed.

Then he got up and led Liu Bian all the way to the Chinese army.

On the road.

Liu Bian simply asked: "Is the soldiers and horses sent by the Nanyang gentry okay?"

Zhang Liaoyun said calmly: "Well, the overall quality is good, especially the physical fitness, which is much better than ordinary soldiers. Just need more training, and you will become an elite soldier."

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Zhang Liao's answer. If the same question was given to some soldiers, the answer might be completely different. Since Zhang Liao didn't mention that it was difficult to manage, it proved that he had already resolved the matter.

but
After all, Liu Bian still had to ask a question before he could feel at ease: "I don't mean that. These soldiers and horses from the gentry are all arrogant and arrogant, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to discipline."

The corners of Zhang Liao's lips were slightly raised, and he smiled calmly: "They are indeed arrogant, but with the butcher's knife resting on their necks, they admit cowardly faster than ordinary soldiers, and they don't give in too much."

"When I first came, the last general beheaded three troublemakers in succession in order to establish his prestige. I heard that one of them was from the Deng family. Since then, no one has dared to provoke trouble again."

"Oh, right."

Zhang Liao hurriedly asked, "The Deng family didn't trouble His Highness, did they?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "No, it must have been suppressed by Deng Tong or Deng Zhi, right? This is very good, if everything is stabbed here, wouldn't Gu be exhausted to death?"

"Don't worry, Wen Yuan."

Liu Bian naturally understood what Zhang Liao was worried about: "Since Gu entrusts you with the full power of the army, he will not interfere with the affairs of the camp. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, Gu will still support you."

Zhang Liao deeply felt Liu Bian's trust, and solemnly clasped his hands together: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."

Liu Bian nodded and smiled, Quan responded.

It didn't take long to go to the Chinese army.

Zhang Liao retreated to the left and right, leaving only Liu Bian and Zhang Liao in the tent.

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal Zhang Liao to sit facing him, and at the same time he took out a volume of silk books prepared in advance from his bosom.

Zhang Liao boldly took his seat, clasped his hands and cupped his fists: "I don't know Your Highness, what orders do you have?"

Liu Bian handed the silk book that recorded the mandarin duck formation to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, I know that you are well versed in the art of war. This is a formation that I discovered from a certain classic book when I was alone in the palace. Take a look first."

"Formation?"

Zhang Liao was also taken aback, and took the silk book with both hands.

The silk script is fixed with a scroll, rolled together, and slightly unfolded, with characters and patterns on it, which are very clearly depicted.

Zhang Liao frowned, looked at the silk script with doubts, and muttered to himself, "Mandarin duck formation?"

Liu Bian nodded and nodded: "I thought this formation was good and very suitable for infantry combat, so I wrote it down silently and showed it to Wen Yuan. If it is suitable, I should train according to this method as soon as possible to improve the strength of the army."

Zhang Liao took a deep breath and solemnly replied: "And Rong Mo will read it carefully."

Immediately.

Zhang Liao was engrossed in the silk script.

At first, he didn't think there was anything magical about the mandarin duck formation, but after only a quarter of an hour, he was attracted by the mandarin duck formation's combination of arms, long and short weapons, and its flexible and changeable characteristics.

"Your Highness~~"

Zhang Liao raised his eyes to look at Liu Bian, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Such a detailed formation was all written silently by His Highness?"

Although, Liu Bian knew that it was unbelievable, but with the military adviser alliance, such magical skills were never forgotten, and it was natural.

He didn't hesitate at all, and nodded slowly: "Don't worry, although it is written by dictation, there should be no mistakes. When I was young, I can never forget it with my photograph, and I can remember it by my knowledge."

"This"

Zhang Liao was astonished as a celestial being, his eyes were filled with astonishment: "Your Highness is really extraordinary."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, waved his hand and said: "You should focus on the mandarin duck formation. If you don't understand, you can ask questions at any time. You and I can discuss at any time and try to settle it as soon as possible. Now that the situation has changed dramatically, we don't have time to waste."

Zhang Liao cupped his hands: "The general will understand."

Immediately afterwards, he fell into the mandarin duck formation again, and carefully understood the advantages and disadvantages of the mandarin duck formation. Combined with actual combat experience, he conducted a rehearsal against the enemy in his mind to deepen his impression.

Have to admit.

Zhang Liao is indeed a general.

Not long after, he frowned and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, although the mandarin duck formation is easy to move, has both long and short, and has both offensive and defensive capabilities, it seems that it is not suitable for fighting Dong Zhuo."

"Most of Dong Zhuo's tents are cavalry, Xiliang Xiaoqi and Bingzhou wolf cavalry are the elite among the elite. The general tried to understand that the actual combat capabilities of these two army horses are indeed very strong."

"Once we have a decisive battle with them, the mandarin duck formation, a flexible combat method with a small force, may not have a great chance of winning. The opponent only needs to gallop into the formation, and they will be defeated in an instant."

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction.

The advantages and disadvantages of the mandarin duck array can be drawn only by the pictures and texts.

Such ability is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary generals, no wonder Zhang Liao became a famous general in Cao Wei.

"That's right!"

Zhang Liao couldn't believe it, but King Hongnong nodded affirmatively and smiled, as if he agreed with his point of view very much.

You know, when Zhang Liao uttered these words, he was beating drums in his heart, for fear that he would offend King Hongnong if he said a word carelessly.

After all, the meaning of King Hongnong's taking out the ancient book formation is very clear, that is, he hopes that Zhang Liao can use it in actual combat, but if he is rejected, it will naturally not be good in this respect.

but never thought
King Hongnong actually had such an expression.

The corners of Liu Bian's lips raised slightly, and he nodded affirmatively: "This formation is indeed not suitable for fighting with the northern cavalry. It must be supplemented with the strategy of controlling cavalry and trapping cavalry, in order to fully exert the power of this formation."

"This is the strategy of the infantry to limit the cavalry and the cavalry to be trapped."

Just as he was talking, Liu Bian took out another scroll of silk script from his bosom, handed it to Zhang Liao and said, "This battle is not just for seeking Dong, we have to take a long-term view."

"Dong Zhuo is not the only one who caused the troubled times. He is just the last straw that breaks the world. Even if Dong Zhuo dies at the hands of the princes, there will still be others who will continue to bring disaster to the world."

"Once so."

Liu Bian took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, with a slightly lonely look on his face: "We can only use Nanyang as the base to develop power in Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places."

"And the south of the Yangtze River is full of hills and rivers, which are not suitable for fierce cavalry battles, but are suitable for naval and infantry battles. At that time, the mandarin duck formation will be a big killer, which can help orphans quickly wipe out the rebels."

Zhang Liao marveled at King Hongnong's thoughts.

I am still preparing for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, but King Hongnong has already thought about the next level, and even longer-term planning and development. The most important thing is that the other party can prepare in advance and integrate skillfully.

This is what the superiors should consider.

They control the strategic level, while civil servants and generals are responsible for the implementation of the strategy, down to the tactical level.

Zhang Liao nodded slowly: "The general understands that this formation is indeed suitable for fierce battles in Jingxiang and Jiangdong. In the end, he will train an army according to this method, but in terms of weapons, His Highness still needs to provide them."

"rest assured."

Liu Bian had expected it a long time ago, and agreed immediately: "I have anticipated this matter a long time ago. When I go back, I will hand it over to Wen Ruo to build it. Since it is a new army, it doesn't need to be too many. 2000 people are enough."

New things always need a process of adaptation and promotion.

Even though history has proved its advantages, it was still a new thing for people in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era. Only a small number of soldiers and horses were tested first, and the effect was good before it could be deployed on a large scale.

It was inconvenient for Zhang Liao to talk about some things, but Liu Bian always had to take them into consideration.

Just like now, as soon as Liu Bian finished speaking, Zhang Liao's expression gradually softened, and he clasped his hands and fists together: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will go all out in the end, and strive to practice the mandarin duck formation in a short time."

"Ah."

Liu Bian nodded and said softly: "Since the people sent by the gentry have surrendered, the training of soldiers and horses can be done by Zhang Sima. This person is diligent and has strong execution ability, so he will never slack off."

"And Wenyuan, you can also spare time to study in detail the mandarin duck formation that Gu gave you, as well as the strategy of controlling cavalry and cavalry step by step. As long as you can understand the essence of it, I believe that Wenyuan's future will be limitless. "

Zhang Liao cupped his hands again: "The final general will go all out and live up to His Highness' high expectations."

Liu Bian nodded and hummed: "Since that's the case, Gu will go back."

Zhang Liao personally sent it outside the camp: "Respectfully, Your Highness."

the next day.

Zhang Liao selected two thousand soldiers from the army and began to practice the mandarin duck formation.

Iron weapons are simple, you only need to build them according to the picture.

Nanyang is the smelting and casting center of the Han Dynasty, so there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen, but it is fully equipped within a few days.

The only thing that was somewhat difficult was the wolf's whisk in the hands of the wolf's whisker.

The main material of Wolf Whip is Moso bamboo, which is abundant in Jiangdong and Jingxiang areas. There is no such thing as Moso bamboo around Nanyang.

but
According to the characteristics of the Wolf Whip, experts have chosen an analogue near Nanyang to temporarily replace it.

When Dong Zhuo is defeated in the future and the heroes compete for the throne, Liu Bian will develop his power southward to Jingxiang, and then use real big moso bamboo to make it into a real wolf whisk.

Zhang Liao deserves to be a famous general of Cao Wei.

Although it has only been a few days since the formation of the new army, it seems that they are already familiar with the core of the mandarin duck formation.

After continuing to practice for a few more days, he started an actual combat confrontation with the rest of the sergeants, and continued to familiarize himself with and perfect the mandarin duck formation in response to the problems that occurred in actual combat, so that he could truly internalize it into his own formation.

Even after observing the military division alliance, he couldn't help feeling Zhang Liao's comprehension of the battle method. Those who have actual combat experience in ancient battlefields also have a new understanding of the modern thinking mode.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like shuttles.

in a blink.

The severe cold of January passed quietly, and the spring breeze of February came one after another.

Feel the whistling spring breeze blowing across the face.

Liu Bian tightened his cloak and stared at the withered willows swaying in the wind in the yard, as if it was welcoming the arrival of the spring breeze and celebrating its most dazzling rebirth.

clatter!clatter!clatter!
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.

"Your Highness~~"

It's Xun Yu.

Liu Bian has already figured it out: "It's been so long since Dong Zhuo has given up on Nanyang, right?"

Xun Yu nodded: "Yes! Dong Zhuo sent General Hu Zhen to guard the Dagu Pass, with a force of about [-] troops. He is currently dispatching troops. I think he is preparing to deal with Yuan Shao and other princes with all his strength."

"So good."

Liu Bian's hanging heart finally let go.

This means that he is out of danger, has real autonomy, and no longer needs to be passively beaten.

"but."

When the subject changed, Xun Yu said with a worried expression, "Today, I received some bad news."

Liu Bian frowned slightly: "But Luo Yang has changed?"

"No."

Xun Yu immediately denied it and explained, "It's Jingzhou."

Liu Bian turned around suddenly: "Jingzhou?"

"Ah."

Xun Yu nodded, and said with a surprised face: "Before, Your Highness ordered me to pay more attention to the situation in the Quartet, and I sent people to investigate in detail. There are assassins scattered in Yuzhou and Jingzhou."

"did not expect"

Speaking of this, Xun Yu's expression was relaxed: "The news came back from Jingzhou this morning that the governor Wang Rui was actually forced to kill by Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha County. Now this thief is carrying tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and is about to enter Nanyang territory."

"This Tie Hanhan is really here."

Liu Bian's eyes flickered with excitement.

If you can't eat the meat delivered to your mouth, it is called waste.

Zhang Liao's mandarin duck formation had begun to take shape, and the soldiers and horses sent by the gentry were also well-trained.

Now Liu Bian seems to be a sharp sword out of its sheath, worrying that no one will cooperate, so he really came to the door.

Haha!

God help me too.

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness, this is."

May be distracted by being too excited.

Xun Yu noticed that Liu Bian's expression was not right, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Did you already guess that such absurd things would happen in Jingzhou?"

"No!"

Liu Bian immediately put away his excitement, and his expression returned to normal: "Gu just didn't expect that a small county guard would dare to commit crimes against the superior and punish the governor of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court!"

"Even if this person raised an army to win over Dong Dayi, he shouldn't have killed the governor of Jingzhou like this. I only suspect that there is a rift between the two. The murderer is actually avenging his personal revenge and venting his anger by killing."

Xun Yu frowned, and said with a worried expression, "I think it's not that simple. Since this person raised troops for a righteous cause, how could he care about personal grievances? What's more, Wang Rui didn't stop Sun Jian from raising troops, but Sun Jian killed people for no reason."

huh~~~
Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, Yu has an ominous premonition. Although it is the righteousness of the world for the princes to seek Dong Dong, it may become a reason for some princes to seek personal gain."

"It has been ten months since the Sangong Shu was handed down. Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai and other Kwantung princes have already gathered for orders, but even today, there is still no movement."

Xun Yu asked in his soul, "What are they waiting for? Or, what are they plotting?"

Liu Bian had to admit that Xun Yu's judgment was astonishing, but he didn't make any comments. He just replied indifferently: "It's inconvenient for Gu to comment on the status of the princes in the world, but I know why he raised his troops."

"As for Sun Jian?"

Liu Bian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If he really comes to beg Dong, Gu will welcome him with both hands, if he dares to have another heart, Gu will kill him with his own hands."
