Chapter 955: The Magnificent Power of Han (Seventy-Nine)

The stone castle is built on the top of the highest mountain on Penglai Island. Standing in front of the castle, you can overlook the entire island and the nearby sea. The blue sky and blue sea are really excellent scenery. However, Ye Zhong has an important mission here. A glimpse of it. After that, he put all this aside and went to the fortress with Bai Yucheng.

"Ye Shangshu, do you have any major strategic plans for coming here this time?" The screen retreated, and only Bai Yucheng and Hu Tou were left in the stone room.

Ye Zhong didn't say anything. He walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, stretched out his hand, drew a large circle in one of the areas, and turned to look at Bai Yucheng.

"Take the initiative to capture these areas?" Bai Yucheng asked.

"Not bad!" Ye Dian nodded, returned to the table, and walked down. "The domestic situation has been initially brought under control, production and life have been on the right track, the Liaodong Peninsula has stabilized, and the king has been transferred back from Kumamoto and Luo Weiran. Of the two infantry divisions, only one was left behind. Luo Weiran also returned. As for the Hetao area, the weather has been good this year, and the millions of acres of newly cultivated farmland must have good harvests. This is all new income. "

"In terms of military affairs, the copper and iron mines discovered in Jidao, Liaodong have begun to be mined, which has greatly eased the pressure on our Pinglu iron mine. The military workshop in Jishi City is in full operation and is expected to have reserves to support a large-scale war within the year. Weapons for the war are in preparation, and the reorganization and expansion of the four armies are also underway smoothly. According to the king's plan, each of the four armies has 60,000 combat troops, 10,000 logistics auxiliary troops, and other necessary The Young Guards will be temporarily recruited during wartime, and the Young Guards will also be expanded into the Young Guards Corps. The original establishment of 20,000 people will be expanded to 50,000. In this way, our Han Dynasty will have nearly 300,000 regular combat troops. This does not include your Qilu Corps. These tasks will be completed within this year. By next year, it will be time for us to completely solve the problem of Qi State, so this year, your Qilu Corps will take action."

Listening to Ye Zhong's words, Bai Yucheng's expression became excited, "In other words, I will take the initiative to expand my territory and influence."

"Yes, the Qi State is currently fighting fiercely with the Tian brothers. Domestic social conflicts are intensifying, people are displaced, and heavy taxes make the people miserable and unbearable. In the direction of Judu, because we have signed an agreement with Mr. Tian Based on the text of the cession of Judu, the negotiation with the Chu State actually stimulated the Chu State to increase its offensive in Judu, and Mr. Tian was already a little overwhelmed." Ye Chong said with a smile.

"If Ju was all snatched away by the Chu people, wouldn't we be making wedding clothes for others?" Bai Yucheng frowned.

"So you have to make a strong appearance. The focus of your attack is the Gaotang area under the control of the Second Young Master Tian. Of course, if you are lucky, you can also grab some Pinglu under the control of the First Young Master. Of course, you have to classify the severity and focus on the Second Young Master. , and by the way, grab the grass and hit the rabbit to attack the eldest son, the key point here is not to let others see your intention in a short period of time." Ye Zhong said.

"If we focus on attacking Tian Fucheng, it will definitely reduce Tian Yuanyuan's military pressure and enable him to deploy more troops to resist the Chu army in Judu, right?" Bai Yucheng said.

"This is just one of them. You fight both sides, but the focus is on Tian Fucheng's side. As time goes by, Mr. Tian's side will inevitably discover this. They will think that you are a worthy target and will definitely send people to recruit An. You." Ye Chong smiled.

"So we accepted the recruitment and became a member of the First Master Tian's camp, and then launched an all-out attack on the Second Young Master Tian to balance the power between the two sides." Bai Yucheng said.

"Yes, bring the two sides back to a balance of power and let them kill more fiercely. This will lay a good foundation for us to solve the Qi State issue next year." Ye Dian nodded: "Tian Ergong has many talents, whether it is Wang Pei or Wang Pei. Cheng Siwei is a talented general. Although Mr. Tian has a great reputation and has the puppet of King Qi, there are really not many people under his command who can be used. The only one who can fight is Tian Jingwen. This is also Tian Jingwen. The reason why the eldest son is losing ground. If you join in, it will be completely different."

"I have no experience in commanding a large corps in combat!" Bai Yucheng touched his chin and said with a guilty conscience: "No matter whether I face Wang Pei or Cheng Siwei, my chances of winning are slim."

"You are so self-effacing!" Ye Zhong laughed, "Not to mention that the fierce fighting in Ertian for more than a year has caused a large number of their experienced soldiers to be reduced, and the sharp increase in new recruits has lowered their combat effectiveness. The fighting strength of our Han army is enough to completely destroy them. In addition, the King of Han has decided to send a staff team to you to help you plan and plot. All you have to do is give orders."

"Advisor?" Bai Yucheng asked in surprise.

"Well, the Staff Section of Jishicheng Military University officially graduated this year. In the future, each legion will establish a staff department. The commander of the large legion will only decide the general direction and strategic planning, and the specific tactical actions will be left to these It is formulated by professional staff, and what the commander does is to issue combat orders based on the plan formulated by the staff." Ye Zhong explained.

"Is this okay? Can some rookies who graduated from school take on such an important task? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it kill the entire army?" Bai Yucheng said uneasily. This was the first time he had heard of this kind of combat method. I have never heard of any country doing this before?

"One person's skills are short, but everyone's skills are strong!" Ye Zhong said: "In the past, battles relied entirely on the master's grasp and control of the battlefield. Therefore, it was said that one general was incompetent and killed the entire army. But a staff group, before the war started, would We will predict the problems that may be encountered when the war begins and design response plans to minimize the possibility of emergencies. We will minimize the instability factors of the battle. Of course, we do not rule out unexpected situations. This depends on the commander's on-the-spot reaction ability. In short, the establishment of the general staff will transfer the war from the commander to the safety of the entire army to more people, reducing risk factors. Besides, this first batch of graduates The staff officers are not what you would call rookies. When the King of Han established this department, he fully considered this issue. These staff officers were all literate and grassroots officers with combat experience who had gone through the system in school. They were given training and re-released. At that time, the King of Han personally went to give them lessons. As far as I know, these staff officers learned much more than students in other subjects needed. They really studied astronomy, geography, local customs and customs. Wait for everything. Otherwise, students in other subjects have graduated several times, and the first period of the staff department has just graduated? The elimination rate of this subject is as high as 50%, which is also the highest among all subjects. students.”

"Such a high elimination rate?" Bai Yucheng was surprised. He knew that for subjects such as command, the elimination rate was only about 20%.

Bai Yucheng nodded, "I personally conducted the graduation exam this time. It was a pity even for me that one of the last ones was eliminated. This person had been ranked first in various exams before, but under the last change, It’s so sad that you were ruthlessly eliminated because you gave wrong instructions during the exam.”

"Since you are ranked first in all categories, how come you are eliminated if you lose your consciousness in the emergency response category?" Bai Yucheng asked strangely.

"It's very simple. The last item was set by the King of Han himself. In this simulated battle, the only possible condition for our army to win is to give up a division that may be surrounded by the enemy. This man After hesitating for a long time, the student issued the opposite combat order. He deployed his troops and tried to rescue the division, but naturally the more he went, the more people died."

"There are tens of thousands of people, even I can't give up!" Bai Yucheng sighed.

"In the end, the King of Han's evaluation was that he was a good man, but he was not suitable to be a staff officer or a general. He could only command a division of troops at most. He was naturally eliminated."

Bai Yucheng said in shock: "This comment from the King of Han has nailed this student's future."

"Who says otherwise!" Ye Zhong shook his head, "If you give up, you will gain. The battle situation at that time was to use this division as a bait in exchange for victory on the entire battlefield. This person was heartbroken for the soldiers of a division and eventually led to the entire entire battlefield. The failure of grand strategy is naturally undesirable."

"Although I have some sympathy, if you think about it carefully, it is the truth!" Bai Yucheng was also very regretful, "How many staff officers have been sent to me this time?"

"In the next year, your place is the focus, so this time there are twelve people. Lao Bai, there are only thirty people graduating this time. Apart from these twelve people, the other eighteen people are temporarily We've all arrived at the Ministry of War, how about it? The King of Han pays enough attention to your place, right?" Ye Chong said with a smile.

Bai Yucheng laughed, "This is your idea, use me here as a testing ground for these staff officers, let them go through actual combat and increase their experience. Ye Shangshu, if you dare to say that you will not remove these people from my Qilu in the future, If the legion is transferred away, I will obey you."

Ye Chongqian laughed a few times, "How is this possible? The people who come to you this time are the top thirty among the graduates. I won't hide it from you. This year, you are the only one who has had a large-scale war. Let them Come and experience actual combat. Next year, some people will definitely be transferred from you to other units to form a new staff!"

"I knew it was like this!" Bai Yucheng laughed, "This is the big man's big game. Naturally, I have nothing to say, but I have to leave a few for me when the time comes. I can't let this place be used as a test field. When the harvest comes, , but they were all cut off by you with one knife."

"Of course, when the time comes, you make your choice, and I will transfer you after you have made your choice."

"That's pretty much it!" Bai Yucheng was overjoyed. (To be continued)
