Two hundred and sixty-seventh military assembly (Part 1)
It is naturally impossible for Suning to deal with such a big thing in the military university alone. His Majesty Li Er and Li Jing delegate power to Suning, and also let Suning deal with military generals more, exchange feelings, lay the foundation for the future operation of military universities, and by the way, we can also determine the work situation of these people in the military university in the future work, so that they can do what they want to do.
So during the preparation period these few days, Suning inevitably asked to hand in prayer letters one by one, and invited most of the veteran generals and generals that can be invited in Chang'an City. The opening of a military university is a happy event for the military, so everyone belongs to the military and needs to understand each other and communicate with each other. These veteran generals also need to understand what this military university is.
To this end, Suning specially arranged personnel to wander around Chang'an City early, recorded all the terrain and landforms, and used all the staff of the Su Mansion, as well as most of the staff of Li Jing's mansion, and almost hundreds of people. They started the action a month before the proposal of the Military University was approved, with the purpose of creating a huge tactical sand table in the surrounding areas of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, including Chang'an City.
The sand table was first found in the era of Qin Shihuang. In order to study tactical strategies, Qin Shihuang personally built a large number of tactical sand tables. In his tomb, there are many mountains and rivers with a scale reduction, and even mercury is used as flowing water. It is quite accurate and ingenious, so the sand table is not unfamiliar to ancient China.
But these sand tables are far from the standard tactical sand tables in the modern sense, because most of these sand tables are shoddy. In ancient times, it was quite difficult to consider the drawing of terrain and maps due to the limitations of manpower and material resources, not to mention reducing the terrain in proportion to restore it to a sand table. Only those who work fine work only for the emperor, most of the sand tables are just piled up, and basically rely on scouts to fight.
Moreover, especially the field war transfers very quickly, and there is no need for sand tables. Only a small number of people who want to eat long-term battles can use sand tables, but they are not very accurate. However, with the help of the magic machine, there is no need to worry about this. Suning has a map of Chang'an area, and the topographic map is also found. I have carefully observed the map and topographic map. I also found a very technical master to help. In more than two months, I have made a very accurate sand table in the study.
It is not just the terrain and main cities, villages and places where people live, as well as flowing water, mountains, rivers, forests, and even the distance between them is accurate. The ancients' skills were not bad, but there were few people who knew it, which was troublesome to use it. However, the role of sand tables in wars is self-evident, especially in offensive and defensive wars. If the side of the defending city has an accurate sand table, it can completely use the advantages of the sand table to do things.
That is, because I believe in the accuracy of this sand table, Suning called these old generals over and asked them to choose suitable areas in the sand table for the exam, as well as the content of the exam, including the future construction of defense around Chang'an City and the construction of areas around the military university. Suning placed the unfinished military university model on the sand table, and the model of Chang'an City was also reduced to a certain proportion. Even 108 yards were built and can still be disassembled.
The model of the military university is Suning's standard appearance and introspection. This school building, which is almost a military fortress, is in a very special position. The enemy attacking the northwest will definitely not be able to avoid it. The military university is also a war fortress, which can be used to defend Chang'an when necessary. Of course, Suning does not want it to come in handy.
In the Su Mansion, only Suning Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, who was appointed as his army, knew that before Xue Rengui arrived, Su Dingfang had been thinking about the sand table for several days. Suning also marked the location of the military camp outside Chang'an City, and the corresponding terrain, which made Su Dingfang love this sand table.
After Xue Rengui became a disciple, he had been living in the Su Mansion and became a rice worm openly, because Su Dingfang's disciple was not just a joke. Not to mention anything else, Xue Rengui now has a certain status. This time, he called the old generals and was also a reason why Su Dingfang wanted to introduce Xue Rengui. Su Dingfang loved Xue Rengui very much now, and he had a very kind fatherly appearance. Not only did he teach the Su family's halberd method in full, but he also immediately explained tactical strategies and some classic battle examples from the past on the sand table.
Xue Rengui is worthy of being a talented general. There is no need to say about the halberd technique. His foundation is in it, and he can learn twice the result with half the effort. With Su Dingfang's careful explanation, it is no exaggeration to have a day. With the power of divine power, he has already fought all over the Su Mansion. The four major guards were defeated in four rounds, the veteran steel combination suffered a crushing defeat in three rounds, Wang Hui and Chen Xie jointly attacked for five rounds, and ten people at the base failed to last twenty rounds, and were knocked down by Xue Rengui...
If the Su Mansion Guards join together, they might have a chance, but that would be too shameless, not to mention that Xue Rengui was a ruthless man who held a wooden stick and fought against a group of bandits. Now that he has learned Su Dingfang's unique skills, he is even more powerful. Suning feels that even ten of him can't beat Xue Rengui. If Xue Rengui is not as talented as a general, Suning will definitely let him be a personal guard, similar to Dian Wei and Xu Chu's existence.
However, Xue Rengui was quite sensible about military affairs. When he was at home, he also read military books and liked them very much. Su Dingfang naturally taught him military tactics, but he mainly focused on sand tables and explained actual battle examples. Xue Rengui couldn't live without the first sight of the sand table. He stayed on the sand table all day long and ate on the sand table. Suning designed war chess to represent the army, including cavalry and infantry, which was very exquisite. Su Dingfang used these war chess to set actual battle examples for Xue Rengui, so as to test and teach the art of using troops.
Although Xue Rengui was mainly learning, Suning also benefited a lot from it. Su Dingfang was also a familiar man. The battle on the battlefield for more than 20 years was definitely not a big deal. Not only was the perfect military strategy, but he also had a faint sense of killing. At the beginning, he could win with a military force that was less than Xue Rengui, which made Xue Rengui dizzy. He forced Xue Rengui to study military strategy day and night, looking for ways to defeat Su Dingfang.
Therefore, no one who has been on the battlefield and brought soldiers will not be fascinated by sand tables. After the veteran generals arrived at the Su Mansion, they saw such a huge and accurate sand table. Under Suning's leadership, the veteran generals entered the "Combat Research Room" specially set up by Suning, which was full of combat equipment, a huge situation map around Chang'an, and eighteen weapons were in the research room. The huge sand table lies across the research room. It has a bit of momentum.
The old generals' eyes lit up suddenly. When they looked at the sand table, Li Jing had known it for a long time, and he smiled without saying a word. But others didn't know it. Especially Li Shiji and Hou Junji, who had extremely high military quality, were reluctant to touch it after seeing the sand table, for fear of destroying this extremely accurate sand table, and even hitting them. They saw the villages, forests, hills, rivers, etc., and even flowing rivers, even a huge Chang'an city entrenched on the sand table, and a Tang Military University like a fortress. They were completely crazy!
God, earth, grandpa and other voices are endless. The mighty and majestic Chang'an City is clearly visible in Shapan Mountain, and the surrounding geographical situation is also clearly visible. The military bases around Chang'an City are also clearly marked. There are even signs that specifically explain the distance and time-consuming arrival and departure. They look extremely relaxed. The veterans walked around this huge sand table and looked carefully at every detail. They suddenly felt that their thinking suddenly became clear! How relaxed would it be if there were such precise sand tables to help in the past marching and fighting!
"This large sand table is a mountain and river situation chart centered on Chang'an City, with a radius of about 100 miles. It took more than two months. It took hundreds of people to survey day and night, expand the scope bit by bit, so that the sand table today is today. Although this sand table is not easy to make, it is very easy to copy with standard data. At present, there is only time to make the sand table around Chang'an City. If I have time, human resources and material resources, I even want to make the mountain and river terrain sand tables of the entire Tang Dynasty. At that time, I can tell the development of the war without leaving home, which is so convenient!" Suning said with emotion.
Li Shiji nodded constantly: "Yes, if we can use this sand table to make the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, we can mark the enemy wherever there is an enemy, and then formulate tactical strategies. This is called a decisive victory thousands of miles away! In the past, I only heard that Qin Shihuang built the terrain sand table of the six kingdoms. Now it seems that Qin also has the credit for the destruction of the six kingdoms!"
Hou Junji reached out and touched the walls of Chang'an City, and the 108 fangs inside: "You have done your best to achieve this level, Sanming, so you can do your best. In this way, the entire Chang'an City will be clear at a glance, and the surrounding mountains, rivers and terrain will be clear at a glance. If an enemy attacks at this time, relying on this sand table, you can formulate a comprehensive strategy, which is so convenient!"
Suning smiled and took out the war chess from the desk, put them on the sand table and said, "That's natural. You can do anything on this sand table. Isn't it monotonous to have terrain but no soldiers? Generals, this little thing is called war chess. Is this good craftsman made? This black little soldier is the infantry, one represents one thousand infantry, the red one riding a horse is the cavalry, and the other represents five hundred cavalry. There are at least one thousand guards in the barracks stationed around our Chang'an City. In this way, when you put it on, you can see at a glance. Of course, there are countless guard posts, and there are also signs here, and the time it takes to respond and rush to support when encountering the enemy infantry and cavalry."
After Suning said that, he moved away. The generals curiously picked up the war chess and looked left and right and couldn't let go. Then Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold it anymore and pulled Hou Junji to a corner and said loudly: "Come on, Hou Shangshu, you always say that Lao Cheng can't beat you in a war. Let's take a game here to see who is the hero and who is the bear! Lao Cheng will fight you with ten thousand soldiers! You can do as many people as you want. Just this mountain, Lao Cheng Shou, you come and attack! See who can fight who can beat who!"
Hou Junji was also interested in this statement: "Okay! Let's fight together today! You 10,000, and I 10,000! See how I wiped out all the troops you fought! Come and fight!" After that, the two of them put the war games in place, the vanguard army, the main force, the logistics, the bow, arrow, the raft, the trench, and the trench, and the things that Suning had not yet built were used. The two fought fiercely based on the terrain.
As soon as the two of them arrived, the other generals could not hold back. They fought each other, occupying a corner, and fighting fiercely, and almost all came up with classic and difficult battle examples from the past, looking for similar terrain and repeated battle situations, fierce debates, various strategies and tactics emerged one after another, and detours digging and flooding the dam, which really opened Suning's eyes.
