Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 204 An Incomparably Novelty Theory

Lian Zhaoyang heard the words and quickly replied: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that if a general wants to boost morale, he should charge forward when fighting on the battlefield. The so-called general of an army is the soul of the whole army. Be brave!"

Speaking of this, Lian Zhaoyang took a peek at Li Chengdao's face, and found that there was no abnormality on Li Chengdao's face, and he was still smiling, and then continued: "The last general is not selling melons in front of His Royal Highness, but selling and boasting. I thought I was very brave in battle, but in the frontier battle, the last general led a hundred men to attack the Tartar tents in the dark, and wiped out more than a thousand enemies in the dark!"

Li Chengdao nodded, and looked at the other generals. Of course, Li Chengdao had heard about Zhaoyang's night attack on the enemy camp, and it was true. Even Zhaoyang mentioned it with pride.

Li Chengdao asked: "Generals, you have all been in the military for many years. Do you think the same as General Lian?"

"Yes! Your Highness"

All the generals replied in unison, Li Chengdao also nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "It seems that everyone thinks in the same way, even the general is brave and invincible, he is indeed a brave man, enough to command a hundred people!"

Hearing this, Lian Zhaoyang's face became more proud, and he glanced at the other generals triumphantly, but then Li Chengdao's words poured a bucket of cold water on Lian Zhaoyang's head.

"It's just that if General Lian still has such ordinary thoughts at this moment, you may only be able to command a hundred people in your life, and there is no possibility of promotion!"

When Lian Zhaoyang heard the words, it was like frost beating an eggplant, the smug smile on his face disappeared immediately, and the generals such as Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Huo Qubing and others burst out laughing, and many other generals were familiar with Lian Zhaoyang Yes, looking at Lian Zhaoyang meanly, that expression clearly said that he knew that His Highness must have something else to say, but luckily he didn't say much at the beginning!
Lian Zhaoyang was naturally very dissatisfied, and muttered in his mouth, but everyone could hear him clearly: "Doesn't Your Highness think that it's wrong to fight bravely for the generals and take the lead?"

Li Chengdao got up at this time, and said seriously: "Everyone, today I want to tell you that it is good to be brave and lead the charge for the general, but that is only when you are in command of a hundred people. The general can boost the morale of the whole army and make the army better." Soldiers use their lives to kill the enemy bravely. But now, you adults are already the generals of the capital, and there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses under them. If the generals charge forward, the swords have no eyes, and unfortunately they are cut off by the enemy in the chaotic army. Who should command the remaining soldiers and horses? With no leader among the dragons, is it possible to let a group of sons and daughters fend for themselves?"

All the generals fell into deep thought when they heard the words, but for Lian Zhaoyang, although what Wu Wang Li Chengdao said was quite reasonable, could it be that the generals would shrink back because of this?

Thinking of this, Lian Zhaoyang couldn't help showing a look of disdain on his face. The other generals were also divided into two groups. The general who had followed Li Chengdao for a long time, after contemplating, a relieved expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Li Chengdao pointed to the soldiers who were still practicing at the foot of the mountain and said: "Generals, please look at it. It turns out that at that time, the generals led the army to fight, and the whole army was ordered to go out, and the military orders were like mountains! But you must know that there are unforeseen circumstances. Good things happen to people. If the general dies, what will happen to the remaining healthy soldiers? But now, there are captains and team leaders at all levels in the army. If they don't let you go down the mountain, they are not just the transmitters and executors of military orders. Instead, he will further become a thinker in the battlefield!"

When the generals heard the words, they looked at the healthy soldiers at the foot of the mountain who were sometimes united and sometimes divided under the command of the commander-in-chief, post chief, and special chief. They couldn't help but understand Li Chengdao's intentions.

Li Chengdao continued: "This is the reason why we will not let you go down the mountain, but let them, the grassroots officers and subordinates, lead the troops independently. Because only in this way will they change from the yes men and the mouthpiece in the army to the grassroots with independent command and combat capabilities." Commander! In this way, there will be one tiger from all walks of life, and ten wolves when divided!"

Observing teaching combined with language explanations, under Li Chengdao's words, the generals gradually understood Li Chengdao's good intentions, and Li Chengdao said at the right time: "People often say that you can't change generals when you are in battle, and the army can't be more handsome. It is only said that it exists as a vital task in the army, but according to this king, a general who relies on his personal reputation and brave martial arts to boost the morale of the entire army can only be said to be a good general, but not a successful general!"

"Just like today, you are all leading generals. Here, you are condescending, and you can see the actions and retreats of each team at a glance. As the chief general, you can always know the size of your troops, where you are, where your advantages are, etc. , In this way, according to the actual situation, orders can be issued at any time to dispatch and adjust the force distribution of the entire army."

After Li Chengdao finished speaking, he changed the subject and said: "But if the generals take the lead and rush to the front first, not to mention losing the advantage of seeing the overall situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your own guards to find you. What's more, once killed in battle, the whole army is like a pan of loose sand. The so-called snake without a head can't do it. Even if one's own soldiers are more than ten times the enemy's, they can only be slaughtered. Is this because the soldiers are incompetent? No, they are actually generals. Mistake!"

After hearing this, all the generals were speechless, and even Zhaoyang looked stunned. Seeing this, Li Chengdao concluded with a smile: "Generals, under my king, to be a general, there is no need to behead thousands of people and massacre ten thousand people." , even if you are just a humble scholar, if you can command from the center and dispatch well, you will be a good general! And if you can make everyone of your junior officers and lieutenants to kill thousands and slaughter tens of thousands, then only With the talent of a general, the army will surely be an invincible army!"

Li Chengdao's theory would be easily accepted in modern times, but among these generals who had never realized the role of soldiers, it was an extremely novel theory.

Around Li Chengdao, there are many soldiers who have just been promoted from the grassroots. They have the deepest understanding of Li Chengdao's remarks, and they have begun to nod at this moment.

Li Chengdao saw everyone's convinced faces, and he felt a little proud in his heart. He thought to himself: If I lived in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, I wrote an article about the basic construction of the army, and even wrote a book to say that I would not post the next "" Military masterpieces such as Li Zi's Art of War or King Wu's Art of War.

Li Chengdao picked up the teacup again. Having said so much just now, his mouth was inevitably dry. Li Chengdao drank the remaining tea in the cup, and then looked at a jungle on the mountain in the distance.

The slope there gradually slowed down, and the trees were not very dense. Li Chengdao squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see a figure in the woods, so he nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, there is a team of more than [-] people hidden in this low and sparse bush. These people are all carefully selected by Li Chengdao from the three-way soldiers under his command. These more than [-] people were handed over to Jin Yiwei by Li Chengdao The three envoys, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, trained there, starting from the military exercise, and after more than ten days of hard training, they have already achieved considerable results.
