Chapter 461

Lu'an County is more than 130 miles away from Hefei County. Li Ming knew the price of soldiers quickly, so he directly advanced to the later Dabai Township, which is less than [-] miles away from Hefei County.

In contrast, Yuan Shujun was belatedly aware that Li Ming had advanced to the position of Dabai Township before he set off. In the end, he was not allowed to station in Xiaomiao Town, which is [-] miles away from Dabai Township.

"I didn't expect an idiot like Yuan Shu to have some capable people down here!" Li Ming looked at the opponent's camp from a distance. Ji Ling and the others came a little hastily, but it doesn't mean they can bully them.

First, the carbine-rejecting guns on the periphery of the camp, and then the rows of ground thorns, are mainly used to guard against the enemy's cavalry charge.On this basis, the outermost fence began to be built quickly, and then the tents inside were set up in an orderly manner. Yuan Shu mobilized at least tens of thousands of civilians for this.

"Sunday..." Wang Yu came to Li Ming's side, and the two had a good relationship in private, "Yuan Shu just attached great importance to family background. This habit originated in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It's not surprising that officials of noble origin looked down on officials of commoner origin.

He himself has received a good education, and he has had a lot of resources for him to practice Qi since he was a child. It is obvious that Yuan Shu is not suitable for martial arts.He awakened the innate qi, and it was only as a way to strengthen the body and prolong life.

Similarly, the art of war, strategy, and even political and communication skills have been strictly trained.You can imagine that after more than 20 years of training, his accumulated knowledge and ability have surpassed more than [-]% of the current people, and he is also a relatively advanced existence among the remaining [-]%. He does have capital to be proud of! "

Compared with some people who have never been able to go to school all their lives, or who have struggled to come into contact with some books or martial arts, he has received strict training for his son since he was a child, and this degree of strictness is even stricter than that of Yuan Shao.

Suddenly understood why he hated Yuan Shao so much.He obviously worked harder than Yuan Shao, endured greater pressure, and was more like a nobleman, but the elders in his family valued Yuan Shao, a bastard, like those vulgar fellows.

Li Ming felt that he would not be able to accept it, and even doubted what his hard work in the past 20 years was, and then began to give up on himself and even exile himself.

Wang Yu pointed at the opponent's camp at this moment, and continued: "The Yuan Clan is split, but the foundation of the Yuan Clan is still there, and there are still many forces attached to the Yuan Clan. They may come from local tyrants, or from small or even small Medium-sized family.

They also have their background, Yuan Shu's character, if he is not a child of aristocratic family, or not a famous person, he will not recruit him under his command.And since he is a child of an aristocratic family, he naturally has good military qualities.

In fact, you have always had a misunderstanding that there are outstanding generals in poor families, but in order to grow from a poor family to a general who can lead an army independently, he must be literate, and have knowledge of military division and strategy, and more than [-]% of them have been eliminated. Officers from poor families, so most officers from poor families can only become military marquises at most, or serve as county lieutenants in local counties. "

For example, Xu Huang, he is from the Hao family in Hedong, so he has a little culture, so it is understandable; for example, Zhang Mo, who studies hard the day after tomorrow, the key is that he has this environment; in contrast, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who just joined, have not systematically studied the knowledge of the army , has not yet qualified to be an independent leader.Even Xu Huang and Zhang Mo are only qualified. To become outstanding, they need to accumulate battlefield experience. The key point is...to survive!

"So I have always wanted to break the family's monopoly on knowledge, and everyone has the right to receive education!" Li Ming said.

"However, just printing books almost caused the aristocratic family to erupt. Fortunately, the scientific examination system you proposed is very good, and it should be able to appease the emotions of the aristocratic family. But you said that you plan to set up a rural school, which will make them collectively erupt." Wang Yu took the opportunity to persuade.

"You know my identity, and it will be exposed one day. At that time, I may fall into a passive position, no matter whether my surname is Li or not. People will be afraid to move forward, and our follow-up talent reserve will be very embarrassing. I am really afraid , so I plan to hoard a group of talents in advance." In the end, it was his subordinates and absolute loyalty, so Li Ming dared to speak his mind.

"You worry too much..." Wang Yu smiled when he heard the words, "As long as you show enough strength, even if you directly announce that you are the descendant of the overlord of Western Chu, people will come to seek refuge in a steady stream. When one day If you successfully sit on the throne, you can modify the history at will, including the old Chu-Han dispute, you can continue to smear the big man, everything you like!"

"Thank you very much. Without your reminder, I guess I would really dig into the horns of this." Li Ming nodded.

"As for the current stage, it is very simple. I can establish the Wang Clan Study, and you can continue to expand your Li Clan Study. In addition, Zhang Mo can be dispatched abroad. For example, Xiao Yao can also establish the Xiao Clan Study. We can use the name of private school, in the folk Recruit a group of students, then train them in advance, and then give them a certain amount of 'care', so that the first second-generation team will appear, and even the third-generation team can be trained through this method.

On the contrary, if there is no way for you to gain the strength to intimidate the whole world and force them to compromise with the talent team of three generations, then I don't think it is necessary to establish Xiangxue.You're not the kind of person who doesn't want to make progress, are you? "

"Yes, I will make them compromise! Times will change. With the great voyages, the rise of commerce, and the complete elimination of the food standard, I will let them understand that in this change, only those who follow me can gain Good!" Li Ming laughed.

In one day and one night, the two sides actually completed the setting up of the camp at the same time.The difference is that on Li Ming's side, only soldiers from the 300 engineering battalion were used, while the other party used [-] civilian men, and it seemed that more than [-] people were lost during the period.

Frozen to death or contracted a cold or something, or slowed down and killed to scare the monkeys.This group of generals from aristocratic families really didn't take them seriously to ordinary people.In other words, didn't the nobles themselves step on millions of people to get to power?
"So what should we do next? Just send someone over there to curse a few times, or send an envoy over there to agree on when and what time the war will start?" Li Ming sat in the big tent, "After all, Yuan Shu values ​​blood and family background so much. The mode of the princes and kings in the Spring and Autumn Period started?!"

"That's not bad, but now is the era of the great Han. Many things have changed, including the use of the "Book of Songs" for dialogues. As Confucius said, it is already an 'era of ritual and music collapse'. Some Things don’t need to be followed so much anymore, you just need to line up in front of the formation, and the opponent will naturally respond well.” Wang Yu said with a smile when he heard the words.

Li Minghui said that, obviously in response to his previous evaluation of Yuan Shu.

"Then who will take the lead tomorrow?" Li Ming looked at the generals and Guo Jia at the same time, "Are Gan Ning and Zhou Tai in place?"

"It's already in place. Gan Ning has arrived at Zongyang, and will enter Chaohu Lake in about two days! The key is Liyang's troops. Zhou Tai plans to attack halfway across the river and wipe them out!" Guo Jia replied.

"Have you discussed it?" Li Ming looked at the generals, "I don't mind going into battle by myself!"

"My lord, why should the subordinates come down to meet them this time?" Zu Lang jumped out, went north to beg Dong Ta to stay behind, and then pretended to be Shanyue to create conditions for Li Ming to enter Yuzhang, and his heart was already suppressed in one breath.

"Well, take your soldiers and test their combat effectiveness tomorrow. To be honest, the weather seems to be getting colder again. I want to know the statistics of the soldiers' winter battles. If it doesn't affect much, I really plan to put Fighting in winter has become a normal state, after all, it is like a night attack, you can always catch the opponent by surprise!" Li Ming said slowly.

"Leave it to the subordinates!" Zu Lang got permission, and immediately replied, patting his chest.

"Do you need the support of the strong archers?" Zhang Mo asked, clasping his hands. Li Tong, who was in charge of the strong archers in the guerrilla army, was also ready to move at this moment.

"We can support from the side, as long as we deal with the opponent's archers!" Li Ming nodded, and Li Tong accepted the order happily.

At the same time, in Ji Ling's camp, several generals gathered together in the tent.After all, it was winter, and the cold wind was howling in the middle of the night. Ji Ling and the others got together and warmed up by the fire. It seemed that this was the only way to resist the cold weather.

"Is Li Ming crazy!" Ji Ling immediately complained, "It's already winter and we're still going to war!"

"Li Ming is crazy, it's easy for us to fight, isn't it? We're cold and they're cold, I just see how they plan to fight!" Le said proudly.At this time, a gust of cold wind hit, and he shrank back immediately. After all, the handsome tent is a tent, and as long as it is in a tent, the effect of blocking the wind is still a little bit worse.

In contrast, the Artisan Battalion under Li Ming's command was mischievous. I don't know if it was to curry favor with Li Ming and set up a wooden command center. After all, this is not a tent at all.The windproof performance of this temporary shelter is ensured through the mixture of civil and wood structures, and an earth kang is built at the same time to ensure that you can sleep comfortably in the middle of the night.

This kind of treatment is only available at the general level, and the lieutenants below can also have a kang. As for the officers below, they can only hug each other like the opposite side.Fortunately, the supply of coal is sufficient, coupled with thickened leather jackets, the soldiers will not feel cold when they sleep at night.

"The heated kang designed by the lord is very good!" Guo Jia lay lazily on the heated kang. According to the distribution, these staff officers were all arranged in one room, and two earthen kangs were built.

"With this, the common people don't have to worry about tragedies such as the death of children or the death of the elderly in winter." Xi Zhicai nodded, and Zhuji County took the lead in adopting the kang design, and then began to radiate around.The heated kang was taken to other counties by the replaced officials. Seeing that winter is coming, the heated kang is being built everywhere to keep out the cold.

This indirectly led to the hot sales of firewood and coal, but the most indispensable thing in the south of the Yangtze River was firewood.The people who made charcoal also made a lot of money.The biggest problem is probably carbon monoxide poisoning. In this regard, Li Ming has also launched the "Carbon Poison Knowledge Handbook" to voluntarily publicize the precautions for burning charcoal and the principles of self-help.

"I'm not worried about the soldiers. The key is the weapons. The weather is cold and the weapons have become a lot more brittle. I'm afraid that many of them will be destroyed after a while. We are going north this time, and the logistical pressure is relatively heavy. On the contrary They are fighting locally, and weapons can be replenished at any time. If there is no way to solve the battle quickly, we will probably be limited by the problem of weapons and have to retreat!" Guo Jia looked at the ceiling and muttered in a low voice.

"Isn't our plan built around these things? According to what the lord said, we have reserved the possibility of unknown factors, and calculated the worst-case scenario. We have already thought of the solutions we can think of. Well, the rest is up to God!" Xi Zhicai replied.

"Yes..." Guo Jia replied slowly, and soon fell asleep.

 Maybe there will be many chapters with 3000 words in the future, after all, I plan to portray the characters better.
