Chapter 1084 The Great Qin General's Wet Nurse [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Also, all officers should not have their own little thoughts, or think about launching a surprise attack!"

Wang Jian's serious gaze swept across all the generals and officers.

The fastest way to gain and maximize military merit, as well as win fame, is to defeat the enemy with a smaller force and to use an unconventional strategy.

However, Baiyue is not the territory of the Central Plains of China. Not only is the map unclear, but there are threats everywhere that may cause heavy losses to the army.

That's how it happens that an incompetent general can lead to the exhaustion of the entire army.

"In addition to what General Luo Bing showed..."

Xiong Qi also spoke.

Everyone turned their eyes to Xiong Qi, waiting for him to continue.

"Bingzhou is famous for its cavalry, and General Luo Bing is one of the top cavalry generals in the world. But have you ever seen General Luo Bing dispatch cavalry this time?" Xiong Qi asked back.

Tu Ju, Zhao Tuo, Fusu and others also reacted.

The most famous and most feared thing about Bingzhou is their cavalry, and Luo Bing is the most outstanding cavalry general in the world.

But this time, they didn't see Luo Bing using cavalry in the simulation.

"Is it possible that we are not qualified to make him use cavalry tactics?" Tu Ju suddenly thought of this. The thought of this result made him even more frightened.

The other side didn't even use even 10% of their strength, but our side was completely defeated. Isn't the gap too big?
"Impossible!" Wang Jian also thought about this question at first, but then gave it up.

Although Bingzhou is known for its toughness, anyone who can reach Luo Bing's position will never be arrogant.

If there is a faster way to win, who would not use it? Why would you go to so much trouble to use other tactics?

Even in a war game simulation, officers and generals cannot really treat it as a game or the lives of soldiers as numbers.

Although it is said that a kind person cannot command an army, it does not mean that the officers do not care about the lives of the soldiers.

"Don't enter the forest!" Xiong Qi continued.

Although he was not a military general, he also knew the art of war.

As the military strategy says, don’t enter a forest!

This is a taboo for military strategists.

Most of the cities in the Central Plains were built along rivers and plains, so the wars for unification rarely took place in the mountains and forests.

The Baiyue were different. They had a small population and many mountains.

This means that it would be extremely difficult for them to launch a decisive battle with a large force.

The cavalry, the leader of all the troops in the Central Plains, will also find it difficult to deploy them against the Baiyue.

"General Luo Bing said that he had consulted the Hundred Poison King, the Corpse-driving Demon, and the Imperial Princess Ling. Baiyue has more mountains and forests, and the Central Plains' war horses are too tall and large to be used in Baiyue."

"Even the long soldiers in Baiyue were restricted by the terrain and suffered unprecedented weakening."

Wang Ben came back and told Luo Bing the reminder he had received on the road.

Wang Jian and others looked even more solemn.

Not only can the cavalry not be used, but the long weapons are also restricted and weakened, and the troops cannot be deployed...

This is equivalent to being restricted by the terrain of Baiyue. Even if they have a large number of troops, they can only give up most of their advantages and fight a battle with Baiyue with equal or slightly more troops.

"Divide the troops!" Tu Ju and others suddenly thought of it.

The scope of the southern expedition was very large, not only the Baiyue, but also the Wuyue, Minyue and other places.

Under normal circumstances, they would have used a large force to destroy the enemy's main force, but now they cannot deploy their military advantage. So instead of gathering the army in one place, it would be better to divide the troops and march south as a front.

"It can only be done this way!" Wang Jian nodded. The best way is to divide the soldiers. The southern expeditionary army is huge in number. Even if the troops are divided into five groups, they can crush the southern tribal forces.

"Ziwen compiled the records and tactics of Han and Chu's attacks on Baiyue in the imperial collection of books!" Just when everyone was frowning, Wu Rui spoke.

"Oh?" Xiong Qi, Fusu and others turned their eyes to Wu Rui.

Wu Rui is young, but he is known as a talent who can assist the king, so naturally they all respect him.

It seems that Wu Rui rarely interferes in the affairs of the Prince's Mansion. He spends more time studying classics from various countries in the Qin Library, more like a scholar.

"Mr. Ziwen, what have you discovered?" Wang Jian asked proactively.

"Use threats and intimidation to force the southern barbarian tribes to gather together, and then attack them in one fell swoop!" said Wu Rui.

Fear was what Luo Bing reminded them of.

But they should not be led by the fear of the people, but should take advantage of this fear instead.

Wang Jian, Wang Ben and others suddenly realized that, yes, they were led by Luo Bing and thought that the generals of Baiyue were top generals like Luo Bing. They subconsciously fell into a misconception and regarded Luo Bing as their opponent.

But does Baiyue have a top general like Luo Bing?
No!

If there was, when Han and Chu attacked Baiyue, it would most likely be the Han-Chu coalition that lost, not to mention the destruction of the Baiyue Kingdom and the capture of the Baiyue Crown Prince Chimei Longshe Tianze.

However, Wang Jian, Wang Ben and others did not try to take away Wu Rui's credit. They looked at Wu Rui with a smile, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"General Tu Ju is right. We need to divide our forces, but we also need to be strategic in doing so. We should divide the southern barbarian tribes according to their customs and cultures, let them band together for warmth, divide them into independent battle zones, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Wu Rui continued speaking.

"How to divide it?" Tu Ju was also impatient and asked directly.

"Ziwen hasn't been sorted out yet, so it all depends on the general and the Southern Expedition Shogunate!" Wu Rui didn't do everything himself.

If he did all of them, the Southern Expedition Army Shogunate would not be grateful, and it would also make the Southern Expedition Army Shogunate appear incompetent.

As a counsellor, his job was to propose directions so that all the staff officers and generals in the military shogunate had something to do and a sense of participation, while also being in his good graces.

"Thank you, Mr. Ziwen!" Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief.

If Wu Rui did everything, wouldn't it make him, the deputy general, appear useless and worthless?
As for Wu Rui, is it true that she hasn’t sorted it out?

That is definitely impossible. Wu Rui may seem to be just one person, but behind him is the entire Tan Tai family and the Prince's Mansion. It is not difficult to compile such information.

All we can say is that Wu Rui knew his limits and did not intentionally try to steal the credit, giving others the opportunity to perform.

From this perspective, Wu Rui doesn't look like a young man at all, but...

Everyone thought of one person!

Qin generals Chang Qingshu, Succubus, and Yang Duanhe!

Isn’t Yang Duanhe the same? He is willing to be a supporting role to highlight the style of the main general.

Is Yang Duanhe a famous general?
No one is sure!
But the person Yang Duanhe followed was definitely a famous general!
Wu Rui now is simply a younger version of Yang Duanhe.

"Mr. Ziwen, do you have a teacher?" Wang Jian suddenly asked.

Yang Duanhe has a high level of experience. He has followed Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, Wang Xi, and Duke Huo, and has assisted himself, Nei Shi Teng, Wang Ben, and Li Xin. He is compatible with almost all generals.

Therefore, almost all the famous generals in the three generations of the Qin State grew up with the assistance of Yang Duanhe.

They can never repay this favor.

But now Yang Duanhe is really old, and he doesn’t have a closed disciple.

Wang Jian also wanted to repay Yang Duanhe before his death.
