Life Winner Training Guide

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

It was impossible for Wang Mi to make this kind of mistake. After six days of confrontation, a soldier in front of the army read a document with a loud voice, and then completely kicked off the prelude to the North-South War.

Both sides were confronted by infantry phalanxes and cavalry harassed. However, the Jin Dynasty had a complete chariot phalanx, and the magnificent chariots matched with spears were quite imposing.

However, the state of Zhou was surrounded by crossbowmen. The two sides had not yet contacted, and the dense and frightening rain of arrows covered their heads, and they continued to attack one after another. Liu Wei, who had never encountered such a situation, was caught off guard. The former army was immediately frustrated and suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Liu Kai remembered that there were almost no heavy shield soldiers in the army, and in a hurry, he mobilized heavy shield soldiers to cooperate with light shield soldiers to withstand the arrow rain attack.

However, Wang Mi, who was very spiritual in using soldiers, immediately ordered the crossbowmen to stop when he saw this, so as not to waste arrows.Immediately ordered the cavalry to harass and attack.

Whether it is a heavy shield soldier who can hardly move, or a light shield soldier who moves like a turtle crawling, there is no time to retreat. Their shields can indeed protect them from the damage of long-range weapons and long-range weapons in front of them, but they cannot defend against those from the side. Wall and rear attacks.

At this moment, the advantage of the cavalry was brought into play immediately, and they were able to go away as soon as they touched it, continuously reducing the enemy's strength. The enemy's cavalry also dispatched, hoping to intercept, but Zhou Guo also had hook and sickle spearmen to cooperate with the cavalry.

Zhou Guo's hook and sickle spearmen can sweep even the cavalry of the barbarians in the grassland, let alone those of the Jin Dynasty.

It is not Liu Wei's style to just be beaten and not fight back. He immediately ordered the chariot phalanx to attack!

Up to now, the Jin Dynasty is probably the only one that still retains the chariot.

This is not to say that the chariot is not easy to use. It has both offensive and defensive capabilities, excellent defensive power, good mobility, and not weak melee ability. It can take into account both long-range and medium-range weapons.Several people on a chariot cooperate with each other, coupled with the protective ability of the chariot itself, this kind of combat platform similar to a mobile fortress is actually very powerful.

However, it is not without reason that chariots are being phased out.

First, it is expensive to keep.

Whether it is the chariot body itself, the horses that pull the chariot, or even the chariot driver requires professional training, all of this is costly. Even the most luxuriously equipped heavy cavalry is probably no match for a chariot Resources and food consumed.

Second, its operational environment is very demanding.

The main purpose of the chariot being eliminated is the hedging battle in the plains. The scope of the battlefield was generally limited to the Central Plains. The chariot can adapt to this battlefield environment, but as the battlefield shifts to the north, it moves to water towns, and it moves to dense forests. When waiting for the terrain, the chariot is completely useless, and it is gradually eliminated.

The chariot team of the Jin Dynasty was originally raised by nobles to show off.Later, he was transferred by Liu Kaizheng and acted as an unexpected move.

For the aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty, what happened to the court had something to do with them, but it did not affect their daily life. Whether they should show off their wealth or talk about it.

Therefore, this chariot is a product of showing off their wealth. They usually play against real chariots. Liu Wei can be regarded as half-robbed and half-borrowed by borrowing and integrating several chariots raised by several families to form today's phalanx.

Today's battlefield is in Xuzhou, where the terrain is flat, not too wet and muddy, and there are not too many stones, which is the best fighting environment for chariots.

Wang Mi frowned a little. He had never dealt with this type of arms. Although he had read about this kind of thing in the book, he didn't know how to crack it.

Is it necessary to use human life to pile it up?

In the state of Zhou, it is very rare to use human life to pile up victories. The generals knew that for the lord, caring for the people and soldiers is the first priority, so they did not use their lives as much as possible. would choose this stupid way.

Wang Mi's mind was spinning endlessly with various plans, and he wanted to come up with a solution on the spot.

But the chariot phalanx will soon rush into the Chinese army.

"Arrangement of shields." The first thing Wang Mi thought of was the shield soldiers with omnipotent defense.

At this time, Chen Fengyi came in a hurry: "General, let me lead the army this time."

Wang Mi hesitated for a moment.

Chen Fengyi said: "The Tiger Forest Army I brought can deal with chariots."

Wang Mi understood that the Tiger Forest Army led by Chen Fengyi was very skilled. This time, His Majesty's personal conquest, the Tiger Forest Army, as the Son of Heaven's personal army, naturally followed.

So, he immediately agreed: "Then there is General Lao Chen."

Although facing such a rapidly rising young general star, he was a little jealous, but Wang Mi was not a person who let his emotions influence his judgment, and the military situation was like fire, so he didn't hesitate much, and immediately agreed.

At this time, it is not to consider other times.

Chen Fengyi took the order to go, and soon, the somewhat mysterious and exaggerated Hulin army, which had been rumored by the outside world, rushed towards the Jin chariot team.

Most of the members of the Tiger Forest Army are highly skilled in martial arts, and can be regarded as special soldiers of later generations. Whether it is riding, swordsmanship, setting traps, or using various special equipment, basically every one of them has been trained, if not all of them are proficient. It is absolutely no problem to be proficient in several things.

It is true that the Hulin Army has never formally dealt with such things as chariots, but for them, chariots are not an insoluble problem.

To deal with chariots, first of all, the mobility of the "chariot" must be destroyed, which is the same as dealing with cavalry and horses.Da Zhou used hook and sickle guns to deal with horses, but it was easier to deal with chariots.

Cars have wheels, and it's not difficult to destroy them.

Everyone in the Hulin Army carried a hard wooden stick, which was originally a spare spear handle in the luggage, but now they used it urgently.

The cavalry covered each other, a group of three, two people covering one person, and in the process of running fast, they inserted the wooden stick into the wheel of the chariot. Many of the chariots were menacing, and the chariot like a fortress suddenly collapsed. Either the wheel was damaged, or a round The owner of the card, the war horse was still running non-stop, but in the end it turned the chariot into a millstone spinning in place.

Whether it was the domestic slaves on the chariot who were originally raised for fun and had no actual combat experience, or Liu Kai, who commanded the war but actually had little experience, they all began to panic.

Liu Kui didn't expect the chariot phalanx to completely crush Da Zhou's army, but he did hope that the chariots would have a certain impact on Da Zhou, and it would be best if he could win a small victory, so that the battle could be successful at the beginning. This is the start of a victory, which can boost the morale of your own side.

But unexpectedly, this strange trick did not work as expected, but was quickly cracked by the enemy.

The Hulin army broke through the chariot phalanx, the knights tore a hole in the defense line of the heavy shield soldiers, and Wang Mi immediately pressed the whole line of the Chinese army.

The army of the Jin Dynasty retreated steadily.

In the end, Liu Wei had no choice but to retreat to the city.

Now, Sima Rui and Director Wang couldn't sit still.

As soon as Sima Rui gritted his teeth, he also decided to go to the imperial court himself.

He felt that the other party was so powerful, wasn't it because Guo Xi, who was used to buying people's hearts, went on a personal expedition, which boosted the morale of Zhou Guobing's generals, and defeated him so easily against the army of the Jin Dynasty.

But Director Wang disagreed.

Of course he would not agree.

Sima Rui is a qualified emperor. He came from the princes all the way. He was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, which fits well with the word "Rui" in his name, but it doesn't mean that he is an emperor who knows military affairs.

This emperor has always relied on his generals, not himself. Although the emperor of Zhou has always heard that he is good at internal affairs and good at knowing and employing people, the apprentices trained by him, from his extremely rare few From the first experience of leading the army, it can be seen that Guo Xi is a hero in the world, and ordinary excellence cannot surpass him.

Therefore, in Wang Dao's opinion, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Emperor's personal conquest, but Sima Rui can't.

Sima Rui was carefully persuaded by Director Wang for a long time, and finally gave up on this idea, but he immediately sent Director Wang to the front line.

It's not that Sima Rui didn't trust his own Liu Wei, but that Director Wang asked for his order on his own, and Sima Rui agreed.

For the emperor Sima Rui, it would be better for Wang Dao to take the initiative to leave the court center, and he can also take advantage of the time when he is out to sort out the government affairs.As for what Wang Dao should do after he gains military merits, greater fame, and higher merits in the future, Sima Rui has not considered it for the time being. Even if Wang Dao does not make meritorious service, he is still No.

It was so ironic that Sima Rui was guarding against Director Wang, but he firmly believed that under Director Wang's leadership, his army would not be defeated.Because, this is the most solid impression left on Sima Rui during the day-to-day relationship between Director Wang and Sima Rui, a student, since he was a teenager.

Sima Rui threw a banquet to send his mentor to the battlefield, and no one could guess what was in his mind, but Wang Dao, who took the initiative to invite the battle, was not as confident as Sima Rui.

Although Zhou State was established for a short period of time, its strength should not be underestimated. There are many talented generals. Even if he holds the best army of Jin State, it is difficult to assert that he can win.In addition, the army is not as good as that in the court, everyone obeys the words of the prime minister, and the factor of harmony is discounted by three points.

However, Wang Dao is indeed the top talent of the Langya Wang family. Even if his reputation for marching and fighting does not show up, he is no worse than his younger brother Wang Dun. After taking over the frontline army, at least he has stabilized the decline. , And confronted Zhou Guo's army again.

After more than half a month like this, both sides became a little impatient, the time gradually shifted from late autumn to early winter, and the temperature became lower and lower, just when Director Wang felt that Zhou Guo would withdraw his troops in a short time.

Jiankang has fallen!

Wang Dun officially raised the flag of rebellion.

The world is in an uproar.

At this time, no matter how much Wang Dao said that he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it was useless for him to have no knowledge of Wang Dun's actions.Everyone felt that the two brothers of the Wang family sang a play of cooperation between the inside and the outside. First, Wang Dun asked himself to go out to be an official, and had the opportunity to form his own army. Supreme power, in the end, Wang Dun directly attacked Jiankang, the capital of the country, and at this moment, Director Wang had transferred Jiankang, leaving almost only an empty city.

Wang Dun didn't have the time to think too much, his move was just to force Wang Dao to completely fall to the Wang family, so in order to make his good brother make up his mind, when Wang Dun invaded Jiankang Palace, he didn't hesitate at all. Slaughtered Sima Rui and his blood.

In his opinion, now that the situation has become like this, Director Wang should gather the army in his hand, and then work closely with him, whether it is to support a puppet emperor, or simply establish himself as a king like Guo Xi Well, in this way, his Wang family will no longer be an aristocratic family, but will eventually become a royal family.

But now the right to choose is in the hands of Director Wang.

Wang Dun could even imagine his brother's grief and entanglement.

However, what Wang Dun, or everyone else did not expect was that Director Wang could not completely control this army.

For example, Liu Wei, although he was deprived of the position of commander-in-chief because of the unfavorable war, as Sima Rui's confidant, he still stayed in the army, and he was still in charge of the army.

Liu Wei's loyalty to Sima Rui is beyond doubt, so in his view, the Wang family is their enemy!

To avenge the king is justified.

He found several like-minded generals, led his cronies and soldiers to launch a mutiny, stormed the commander's account, and completed the task of "killing the chief evil" in a panic. Even, when the cronies of Wang Dao's party arrived, this The stunningly talented and powerful Patriarch of the Langya Wang Clan was hacked to death by someone, his entire face was bloody and bloody, and he couldn't even see his expression clearly.

When Liu Wei and others wanted to gather the remaining troops, withdraw to Jiankang, and rescue the emperor, they discovered that the news of Sima Rui's death had spread throughout the barracks, and even the ordinary people in the city seemed to know about it. got the news.

Because of this news, those people in the barracks still have no intention of fighting. The current situation is that the royal blood has been completely gone. Even though the Sima family still has many clans living outside, those clans are not recognized.In this way, it is a foregone conclusion for the Guo family to rule the world.

That being the case, what do they mean by fighting to death here.

At this time, Liu Wei and the others happened to announce that they had dealt with Director Wang, and were about to take over the army. As a result, the mutiny of the fake army became real. Before night fell that day, half of the low-ranking generals led the way. At least one-third of the soldiers deserted, and this was because some soldiers were slow to get news. Presumably, after the night was over, most of them wanted to leave.

No matter whether Liu Wei and others distributed food and salaries to appease the people, severely punished deserters and killed chickens and monkeys, or promoted officials and ranks to coerce and lure them, they could not prevent the collapse of the Jin Dynasty army.

It seems that most of the people in the city of Peihou Kingdom fled overnight, and they didn't even want those belongings.Yanzhou, which was once turbulent and exploited countless times, is currently implementing various preferential policies to attract refugees, and they have long wanted to move there.

At this time, the Zhou Dynasty did not seem to receive any news, and did not take advantage of the fire to loot, but kept a quiet confrontation state.

In the end, Liu Wei, who was ashamed, finally reacted: "Zhou Guo and the others are waiting to receive those who surrendered."

That's right, now that the Sima family is dead, Zhou Guo has won the victory of this battle for the world without even expending a lot of power.

Only now did Liu Wei regret it.

Although the Wang family is not a minister, they are one of the aristocratic families after all. If they do not stay with Wang Dao, but cooperate with Wang Dao and Wang Dun, the power in the south will still not change much, and the political situation can also be stabilized, which is still comparable to Zhou Guo.But he was overwhelmed by anger, and his vengeance for His Majesty gained the upper hand, killing Wang Dao completely.Then the possibility of cooperating with Wang Dun is completely cut off.

The 20 army of the Jin Dynasty fell in pieces, and it was impossible to expect Wang Dun's 10 people to guard Jiankang.

Liu Wei understands that people like himself are tantamount to handing over their own country to the Guo family.

That night, Liu Wei committed suicide in the big tent. The several generals who had gathered together were in a dilemma and acquiesced in the choice of surrendering to Zhou Guo.

They have not received much favor and favor from Sima Rui, so naturally they cannot be as loyal as Liu Wei.

In this troubled world, with whom do you not follow?

Half a month later, the entire territory of Xuzhou north of the Yangtze River, and half of Yangzhou were taken over by Zhou Guo.

Under the trend of the general trend, all counties and counties are watching the wind and surrendering, and the camp changes quite rapidly.

However, Wang Dun was originally sticking to Jiankang, but he was not only besieged by the army, but the city was not very peaceful. His killing of the Sima family was too bad. Viciousness made Wang Dun unpopular in Jiankang.

So Wang Dun made a decisive decision and fled back to Jingzhou with his troops.

In the deep winter of the third year of Anning, Jiankang was conquered and occupied by the state of Zhou.

The Jin Dynasty officially declared its demise.

In the spring of the following year, You Hongyin announced the relocation of the capital. According to the land, Luoyang was remote after all. He hurriedly established the country in Luoyang, but the corresponding buildings, ceremonial guards, etc. were not built. The officials knew that the capital would be moved sooner or later, but everyone Didn't expect it to be so fast.

The smoothness of the Southern Expedition this time, even according to You Hongyin's most optimistic estimate, will take one to two years. Who knows that the Langya Wang family who single-handedly supported Sima Rui, the southern court, will appear like Wang Dun. characters.

After moving the capital, You Hongyin began to vigorously rectify the southern counties. The most important thing was to build roads first, and then allow the northerners who had left their homes to return to the north.

You Hongyin was not worried that those gentry would continue to grow after they returned to the north. The Zhou State’s land trading system was very strict, and all kinds of reports were required if the amount exceeded a certain amount. Moreover, the large amount of land that those gentry once owned had disappeared. Being "beaten by local tyrants", it is a dream for them to go back and continue to live the days of working as countless fields and tenants.

Now it seems that because of the war, the north is easier to govern. The local government has an absolute right to speak in the local area. At the same time, the land has returned to the hands of the people due to the war.

In You Hongyin's estimation, there might be separatist wars, siege battles, and other battles in the south, but who knows that it will eventually evolve into this kind of situation, so even if the wealthy families everywhere are completely preserved down.They occupy a large amount of land and tenants, and their power in the local area is deeply rooted and difficult to pull out.

Faced with this kind of request, it is useless to only limit the land area, no system can be perfect, there are always many loopholes that can be exploited, so You Hongyin did not force the aristocratic family to spit out the land in their hands.

Even if the world is unified, some things cannot be handled.

However, this situation does not have much impact, at least for now.

Only when the population is booming and the annexation of land becomes more serious, and the people don’t have enough land to support themselves, they can no longer survive. At that time, this problem will affect the rule of a regime. At this moment, the world is full of wars and the population is declining. Basically, it will take a long time to think about this issue.

In this regard, You Hongyin said that that is what his son needs to worry about. He should put up the framework first, and don't think too much about other issues.

In fact, the most direct way to weaken the influence of the gentry or the landlord class on the country is to make the land worthless. In short, it is to continuously expand externally and continuously increase productivity.

But even ignoring these problems, the handling of affairs in the south is more complicated, and You Hongyin is a little troubled by the influx of talents from various aristocratic families.

It is impossible not to use people from aristocratic families, but how to use it is also a problem.People in the south probably won't accept the method of imperial examination to get officials in a short time, but You Hongyin is worried about how capable those talents who come here by recommendation are.

If there is something unresolved, go to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun strongly recommended his elder brother!

He is almost fed up with the many affairs of today. Zhou Guo was already busy enough, and this majesty was lucky enough to quickly win the Jin Dynasty. Enough to keep him busy.

Now Zhou Guo can be said to be extremely short of talents.

At the beginning of the Northland, the repeated replenishment of officials had already exhausted the talents cultivated by Qingzhou Academy for many years. Now it is impossible to squeeze them again. Therefore, the only choice now is to select officials in the south.

There is also a reason why Lu Yun recommended Lu Ji.

Lu Ji's network among the gentry is not comparable to that of Lu Yun. His elder brother once held an official position in Soochow. Although it was a short time, he later lived in seclusion in Jiangdong, but his literary name spread all over the world. County is not an exaggeration at all.

If someone else was the emperor, Lu Yun would definitely not recommend his elder brother. You must know that once the elder brother really recruits many officials through his connections, it will be a threat to the emperor.However, Lu Yun understood that his monarch had already anticipated this situation, and he knew how to choose to be kind to everyone, and he would never let the monarch and his ministers go to the point where there was no way out.

You Hongyin thought for a long time, and realized that he needed someone to open the gap for the southern gentry, so he immediately agreed to Lu Yun's suggestion, and asked Lu Yun to go to Jiangdong in person with the intention of conquest.

Lu Ji accepted the order.

And the first suggestion he gave to You Hongyin was to choose someone from the Wang clan of Langya, but not give them a high position.

You Hongyin understood what Lu Ji meant, that is, as the new emperor, he made a gesture that he would still reuse the gentry, and the various families would only obey orders when they felt it was profitable.
