From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50
"Since the rear is stable, Yikang can go to discuss with Zhaowei the best way to defend the city. Don't go out of the city to do reckless things."

His strength is only enough to defend the city, and Chu Yan's ability to govern the army is not comparable to that of refugees.

If anyone opens the city to fight and sends these soldiers away, even if there are some left, there will not be too many.

It's really a heavy loss. Zhao Tai will screw off the leader's head and kick it as a ball.

"Minggong, this subordinate has been thinking hard for a long time, and came up with a plan before coming here. Maybe Minggong can correct one or two things?"

Zhao Tai looked at Gao Ai suspiciously, you don't look like you have been thinking for a long time.

But he still chose to listen, in case there is really a good plan, maybe.

"Come and listen."

"The subordinates believe that the bandits are new to this place, so they don't know our truth."

"Ai Zeng thought about this place, since the bandits don't know what's true, why not lead the troops down to this place and go around to the rear of the bandits."

"Attack the unprepared, catch the unexpected, you can communicate with Ming Gong in advance, and implement a two-sided attack."

"Bandits will cause chaos, and chaos will lead to defeat. Does Minggong think this plan is feasible?"

Zhao Tai's expression froze and he looked at Gao Ai with incredible eyes.

Is this a drudgery from the bottom of the pot and an understatement?
Tactics are certainly fine, even very practical.

"The art of war was taught by Zhongji?"

Apart from Qi Zhou who has a military book in his hand and can teach Gao Ai, there will never be another person.

"It was indeed taught by Qi Guanshi, and Guan Shiyan is one of the military books given by the Duke of Ming, named 36 Strategies."

Gao Ai is close to the water. As expected, anyone with potential will grow up after being taught.

His kind can be said to be the line of geniuses.

"Yikang's plan is promising, but he has considered the casualties of his soldiers."

"If all the soldiers from the two battalions of our side come out, it will be considered that the bandits will be severely injured, but the casualties will be difficult to remember."

"Currently, half of the soldiers are casualties, and our side cannot bear the loss."

Compassion does not command soldiers, Zhao Tai understands this truth, fighting the dead is justified.

But with [-] to [-], it is still the tens of thousands of people that Chu Yan has accumulated through hard work.

Even if there is a [-]% chance of success, he still can't bear the loss if he wins.

Gao Ai's growth made Zhao Tai very happy, even the other party may not have considered the casualties of soldiers.

In terms of being a general, he must be qualified, but it is not in line with Zhao Tai's policy of seeking stability.

What he wants is long-term development, not temporary gain or loss.

Now Gao Ai can be called a general, but not a commander.

I have grown in terms of fighting, but I still don’t have a clear understanding of the gains and losses of overall power.

It's not that Zhao Tai doesn't agree with him, it's just that Zhao Tai can't afford the loss after winning.

This is the case when a small family and a small business can't stand the toss.

Compared with Gao Ai's winning strategy, Zhao Tai is now more willing to use leisure and wait for work.

That is to say, while consuming Chu Yan away, he used him to train his own soldiers.

Anyway, there is no shortage of food, Zhao Tai of course chooses the strategy of maximizing benefits.

"Ai can't understand the deep meaning of what Duke Ming said. However, Ai knows that compassion does not command soldiers, and uses the best strategy to seek victory. Now that the opportunity is gone, the subordinate's plan is difficult to achieve. It is not against Minggong. I really don't understand. carry on."

It's all right, it's just that the disagreement makes Gao Ai puzzled.

Zhao Tai didn't explain it either, it would be better for him to figure it out himself.

If you can't figure it out, it's not bad to be a general in the future.

Seeing that Zhao Tai didn't explain, he just asked him to defend the city with Zhou Ping.

This made Gao Ai look bitter, always feeling like he was praised, but he didn't seem to be seriously praised.

Seeing Gao Ai, Zhou Ping greeted him happily, but what's the matter with this bitter face.

Did he violate military discipline like himself?

When Gao Ai repeated what he said to Zhao Tai before.

Zhou Ping was first surprised by Gao Ai's growth rate, and the tactics he used were not comparable to him.

To be honest, he wants to change with Gao Ai, and he also wants to learn the art of war.

After that, he thought for a while before laughing lightly, which made Gao Ai puzzled.

"Why is Zhaowei laughing? Ai doesn't think there is something wrong."

He was still regretting the missed opportunity, so he couldn't think about why Zhou Ping suddenly laughed.

"Yikang thinks there is a shortage of food in the village?"

"Although Ai doesn't know where Duke Ming sent the grain, there is no danger of grain in the village, and we all know it."

Of course Gao Ai knew that Zhao Tai could conjure food, but what did it have to do with food.

"Then ask Yikang again, how many soldiers are there in Zhuangzhong, and have they fought a battle?"

Gao Ai didn't speak, and then stared at Zhou Ping with his eyes, just like Zhao Tai stared at him before.

"There is no shortage of food in the village, and the soldiers have not been in battle, and their strength is limited. Why do you use limited troops to do damage?"

"Bandits have no roots, so we don't worry about loss. We have a foundation to rely on, and we focus on keeping our business and expanding the land. Now, with the power of bandits, our soldiers are not lacking in battle."

"This city can be a protection, and the bandits must not hold it for long. It is a method of defending the city. Nearly half of the soldiers were lost in the wild (ao) battle, and a little less than defending the city. Why did Yikang win?"

Zhou Ping was telling Gao Ai what Zhao Tai had said to him in more detail.

Although defending according to the city is slow to win, it has more benefits.

Of course, quick victory is also good, but it is impossible to say for sure which one is better if you lose troops or lose generals.

But in terms of development, of course, the less losses the better.

Gao Ai understood it, and knew that he was right, but it was a little risky, and winning would also greatly damage his own strength.

It's not that simple to make up for it.

Here in Zhending, as long as Zhao Tai doesn't make trouble, Fang Run and the others don't care.

But if there is a real decision, recruiting troops and buying horses, making a big mess and being noticed by the court, it will not be so easy to develop silently and low-key like now.

"Thank you, General Zhou, for clarifying the confusion. Ai has learned what Duke Ming is thinking."

If you understand it, you understand it, and Gao Ai agrees, but he just doesn't like this kind of ideological policy that puts the overall situation first.

Seeing that Gao Ai had figured it out, Zhou Ping took him to inspect the city wall to see if there was anything to make up for.

However, this is not difficult, as long as the soldiers are determined, they will not retreat in a deadly battle.

Anyone who is neither stupid nor stupid can do a good job of getting away from everything.

Zhao Tai didn't know these things about Zhou Ping and Gao Ai.

Now he is looking at the direction of Chu Yan's army with a telescope, looking very seriously.

This is different from the last time I watched the Yellow Turban attack Zhending County, when he was just an outsider.

Now that he is an insider and the one being attacked, Zhao Tai is very excited.

It may be interesting to watch others fight, but Zhao Tai thinks it is more interesting if it is his own.

While observing, he also studied how to fight this battle if the difference in troop strength was not large.

As a rookie on the battlefield, it is difficult for others to understand his current mood.

After rehearsing the result in his mind for a while, he found that he still preferred to push flat.

"So I still have too few soldiers and a lot of shortages. I have to find a way to continue to grow."

Zhao Tai went down the city wall and got into the house to study the resource distribution map of the Black Mountain Range.

As for Chu Yan's attack on the city, that would probably keep him busy for a while.
