From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89 Do You Still Know About Military Affairs?
"It's not like your character to be hesitant."

Zhao Tai wiped his hands with a wet towel, and gave the two of them a funny look. Zhao Tai knew very well what kind of character they were.

"Could it be that the two of you fell in love with that little girl at the same time and came to me to find a theory?"

"Little Niang" or "Sister-in-law" are the terms used for young women. Xia Houlan, who was standing in front of him, felt a little embarrassed when he said these words.

If this spreads, the reputation will be ruined.

"Minggong jokingly said, how can the subordinates do such absurd things."

"The two of us came here to discuss current affairs. There is something I want to present to Minggong for viewing. It has nothing to do with the fictitious little lady."

What Xia Houlan said made Zhao Tai a little surprised.

Since the two of them joined forces, they have never offered any strategies. Zhao Tai has never thought about where to put his own talents or strategies.

Now Xia Houlan told him that the two of them had discussed current affairs together, and if they could come and tell Zhao Tai to let him take a look, there must be something.

If it's bad, you still take it out, wouldn't it be slapping yourself in the face.

"Since you have a strategy to offer, why bother hiding it? You should be more confident and just bring it out."

In terms of ingenuity, Zhao Tai has never underestimated anyone. If you think your ability is limited, it's just because the other party's level of contact is not enough.

That is to say, there is too little knowledge to be learned, which limits the display of the opponent's ability, so Zhao Tai began to move the knowledge that he thought was useful here.

For Zhao Tai's subordinates, it is an ocean of knowledge, and they spend all their free time in it. If they say that their abilities have not improved, ghosts will not believe it.

Now that this point has been well established, the strategy can be implemented, and that is not what improving the ability is.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Zhao Tai can't dampen this aggressive enthusiasm.

The two people who were still a little apprehensive straightened their backs in Zhao Tai's words of encouragement.

The thought in my heart is that I have not made a mistake, so why should I feel guilty.

"Ming Gong's words ordered his subordinates to wait for enlightenment, but it was the subordinates who were confused."

At this moment, Qi Zhou took a step forward, made a salute, and then took out two pages of paper full of words.

"Please take a look, Mr. Ming."

Zhao Tai took the paper, and at the beginning, he saw the words "Talking about where the imperial army attacked".

Due to Zhao Tai's universal education to Ye, he moved closer to simplicity step by step, and Qi Zhou also transitioned to the level of vernacular when writing.

The punctuation marks can be applied freely, which reduces the pain of severing sentences after reading the article.

If the key is wrong, the meaning will be completely different.

Although the two pages of paper the two men gave Zhao Tai were full of words, the most prominent focus was on where the imperial army was most likely to attack.

"The army is estimated at one hundred thousand, and they will definitely advance in a majestic manner. Based on the understanding of Montenegro from all parts of Changshan, the people who lead the troops will definitely obtain evidence in advance.

Before the army arrived, the prefects of Changshan and Zhao counties were fully prepared. According to reports, the two counties had built various siege equipment.

Ladders, nest carts, rush carts, and thunderbolt carts are all prepared, so that Zhaozhuang can be stormed, not the mountains and hills outside Hufeng Valley. "

The most useful part is this paragraph, and the other words are all kinds of explanations and analysis, trying to be convincing.

The moving ladder mentioned here is not the kind of ladder with wood or bamboo on both sides and neat long strips in the middle.

The ladder has been invented since the Warring States period. There are wheels on the bottom to move and hooks on the top. It is heavy, heavy and strong.

That is the enhanced version of the ladder.

The nest car is a vehicle for observing the enemy's situation, a movable watchtower.

The thunderbolt chariot is a catapult, and the ramming chariot has the same properties as the ramming wood, except that the former is larger and can be pushed to hit the city gate.

With these things in place, no wonder Qi Zhou and Xia Houlan agreed that the army would attack from Zhaozhuang.

The siege equipment is complete, and it is the top siege item in this era. It takes a long time to manufacture and consumes materials are their shortcomings.

Because it is large, it is limited by the terrain. Like the hilly areas near Jingxing County, it is better to use infantry to build this thing.

Isn't this in the information?Yes, it's just that Zhao Tai didn't read and research carefully.

With these siege equipment, Zhao Tai would choose to attack Zhaozhuang if he were in the opponent's position. There is no reason for people to give up this advantage.

What's more, for someone like Gongsun Zan who is good at fighting, he knows how to choose better.

You can say that he is headstrong and obsessed with using force to solve problems, but you can't say that he doesn't know how to fight.

Thinking clearly about the stakes, Zhao Tai couldn't help but glance at the two of them, then at the paper, and repeated this several times.

"Zhongji has always been only interested in geology, and has done the most in-depth and diligent research, but he doesn't want to return to the military."

Then Zhao Tai saw Qi Zhou took out "Wei Liao Zi" from his arms, and took out another "Taibai Yin Jing", looking at Zhao Tai with a calm face and calm eyes.

"summer…………"

Before Zhao Tai finished speaking, Xia Houlan consciously took out "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Six Secret Teachings", even thinking that it was not enough, and wanted to take out a few more copies.

"Don't take it out, I understand."

Zhao Tai had forgotten that when he first brought the military book over, he had given it to Qi Zhou first.

Later, Gao Ai was able to understand the art of war, and he got enlightenment from Qi Zhou.

Xia Houlan was even more peculiar. With Qi Zhou's attitude of talking endlessly about geology, Xia Houlan was willing to listen and could bear it.

It is not surprising to study military books to acquire knowledge over time.

Just like developing a side business, I am afraid that the theory of military affairs has reached a high level.

The reason for this strange phenomenon lies in Zhao Tai.

There are two strategists abruptly piled up, even if they are only theoretical, they can already be called celebrities in this era.

"The strategy of the two of you is indeed very reasonable, and there is a high probability that you will say so, but any useful strategy should be rewarded. Tell me what you want?"

Zhao Tai affirmed their abilities, and even thought in his heart whether to add burdens to the two of them. Knowing people and making good use of them is what a wise master should do.

But thinking about it, Zhao Tai vetoed it again. They could be allowed to teach the art of war, but they could not be allowed to lead troops.

Unless there is no one available, Zhao Tai will not use civilians to lead the troops.

It's not that Zhao Tai is prejudiced against literati, or doesn't trust them, but that he wants to adopt a system of separation between the military and the government to completely separate the two.

Otherwise, if the army can reach into the internal affairs system and civil servants can get their hands on military power, there will only be disadvantages rather than benefits.

The two came to present strategies at this time, Zhao Tai did not believe that they had no purpose.

"It is my great fortune to have Ming Gong adopt the proposed strategy. However, I dare not ask for reward for this. All I need to do is to treat Ming Gong and both of my subordinates equally."

Qi Zhou and Xia Houlan were all smiling, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Let's talk first, I can think about it before making a decision."

The two looked at each other, bowed and bowed.

"We would like to go to the front line to take a look. Please give me your permission."

"Just to watch the battle?"

What kind of hobby is this? I've never found them to have a bellicose personality before, but what's with the excitement on your faces?

"To tell you the truth, my subordinates are only curious about the use of explosives on the battlefield. It must be a grand event that has never been seen in ancient times."

The launch of the first explosive package in the world will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books.

Being able to see it with their own eyes, and even leaving a name in history for future generations to look up to, how could they not be excited.

People don't live for fame and fortune, but just to be born and buried?
Saints are not exempt from vulgarity, let alone them.

"Hahahaha, if Zhongji and Xiahou have such a heart, then it's guaranteed."

Zhao Tai smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders, and agreed happily.

After Zhao Tai left, the two were puzzled.

"Ming Gong seems to like to pat people on the shoulder, but he has never held my hand to show intimacy?"

Xia Houlan frowned and thought hard, but couldn't figure it out.

But if Zhao Tai heard this, he would definitely stay away from him, his idea was too dangerous, even though Zhao Tai knew the meaning was not evil.

"Maybe Ming Gong doesn't like it, but it doesn't matter. Tonight you and I are going to study our knowledge. How about we sleep together on the same bed?"

"That's right, that's all."

Zhao Tai didn't know what happened to the two of them, but after learning their strategies, Zhao Tai's thinking had been opened up.

In terms of materials alone, it was tilted more towards Zhaozhuang, which was owned by Zhou Ping.

In addition, Gao Ai was notified that he would be allowed to act expediently while ensuring that the main road was not lost. Feel free to use whatever strategies you have. Zhao Tai would not restrict him this time.

Whether he can become famous or not depends entirely on his ability to lead troops to fight.

This right is not insignificant. In other situations, this order alone can make a big fuss.

Gao Ai definitely can't do anything, even if he could, he wouldn't implement it.

Binding is so domineering.

After basically determining the location of the battle, Zhao Tai headed for Zhaozhuang.

Xia Houlan and the others wanted to see the scene of explosive packs being used on the battlefield, and he, Zhao Tai, also wanted to see it, and his expectations were no less than others.

When Zhao Tai arrived at Zhaozhuang, what he saw was the seven-meter-high city wall.

It has been increased by two meters on the original basis, and even the city wall is more than three meters thick. This is the thickness of the top of the wall, and it will only get thicker as you go down.

Not to mention smashing it with a thunderbolt car, it takes a lot of effort to use explosives.

Zhao Tai can be sure that this city wall is much harder than a tortoise shell.

In the past, Zhaozhuang still had residents living here, but now only the army and the vast brick kilns outside the city are left.

Zhao Tai's arrival had been notified in advance, and Zhou Ping had already led people to wait there on the stairs going down the mountain.

"We will not wait to welcome Duke Ming."

Zhou Ping shouted loudly, and nearly [-] soldiers responded. The sound wave swept through the heaven and earth like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, as if it was going to shake away the clouds in the sky.

"All generals, please rise."

"Xie Minggong."

The sound of armor clashing was neat and sweet, and this scene made Zhao Tai wish he could lead his troops out to kill everyone.

It is really itchy to look at this army.

"When I get a chance, I want to experience the addiction of being a general."

He walked down the steps step by step, and came to Zhou Ping and other generals. Except for Zhou Ping, they were all unfamiliar faces.

But they were able to stand here and become generals of the army, but it was Zhao Tai who personally appointed them, and it was just the first time they met.

The army is full of talents, which makes Zhao Tai feel like he can't go anywhere in the world.

Until nightfall, when Zhao Tai was still discussing matters with his generals, he received the news that Gongsun Zan had arrived in Lingshou County and would reach Zhending City tomorrow.
