The history of wargame deduction can be traced back to 3,500 years ago from the Great Song Dynasty, when the ancient Chinese sages began to use stones and wooden bars to play games on the ground to demonstrate the formation.

The wargame deduction of later generations is just a refinement of this method, Zhao Zhen cannot say that he traverses the past and the present, but at least he knows the improvement method of later generations, and can deduce before the war more accurately and in detail.

Even the card games of later generations originated from wargames! And Zhao Zhen happens to be a good player............

At present, wargame deduction is the "magician" used by Zhao Zhen to direct war, and any one of them can make full use of scientific methods such as statistics, probability theory, and game theory to simulate, simulate, and deduce the whole process of war, and study and control the war situation in accordance with the rules of wargame.

Of course, its ability to innovate and develop has always been valued by ancient and modern soldiers, but Zhao Zhen still underestimated the means and wisdom of the ancients, when Yang Huaiyu saw the Privy Council in the map and the sand table, when he saw the dense puppets representing the troops, combat power, and quantity, his eyes told Zhao Zhen that this kid had seen something similar.

"You've seen this?" Zhao Zhen asked in surprise after watching Yang Huaiyu familiarly place the puppets representing the troops on the sand table, and inserting the combat power and the number of flags on the side.

Yang Huaiyu was slightly stunned, and then said: "Qiqi official family, the last general has seen something similar in the Cao family, but it is slightly different from the official family. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, this makes sense, if the ancients didn't have wargame deduction, there would be no war book, let alone formation improvement and the like, otherwise how did the classic and ever-changing formation in China come about? !

Di Qing stood solemnly on the side, the Great Song Dynasty had already conducted a war game deduction before, but it was not as grand and amazing as this time, it was not just a deduction in front of him, the biggest map in the past was only the Western Xia, but now the map in front of the official family is the entire Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, and even includes the Jurchen and the Wa Kingdom, and the Western Regions............

If you want to complete this deduction, you must deduce the impact of every place, every intelligence, every clue, and every clue, and place a sand table in every possible place for deduction......

This deduction is undoubtedly huge, but there are only four people in this Privy Council, including the officials...... There are also a little too few people.

Peng Qi closed his eyes a little tiredly, even if he hadn't started yet, he had already felt tired, he only felt that these things in front of him were simply killing him, not to mention anything else, just by familiarizing himself with these black hands, he didn't know how long it would take for the information obtained by the Imperial City Division!

Zhao Zhen had already sat down, and there was a large amount of heaping information in front of him, and Zhao Zhen, as the king of a country, could not participate in it at all, but he had to know everything about this war.

Peng Qi whispered the most Zhao Zhen and said: "Official, are we too few people, we still need some people to arrange the sand table, and we still need people to rank the soldiers......

Zhao Zhen glanced at Peng Qi, what did he think about this thing, could he not know?

"I think you don't waste this time on things that can't be changed, it's better to get familiar with these things quickly......" Zhao Zhen finished speaking, and threw a large stack of materials to Peng Qi, looking at this sad look, Zhao Zhen felt an inexplicable refreshment in his heart.

Di Qing looked at Peng Qi's appearance and smiled, he knew that what his subordinate hated the most was dealing with paperwork, but he also knew that Peng Qi was a cronie of the official family, and the reason why he was in the Privy Council was to check and balance himself, but he didn't care.

Whispered to Peng Qi explained: "The most important thing at the moment is to read these wire reports, and then the deduction will be carried out, and someone will be responsible for other things when the time comes." ”

The biggest difference between Zhao Zhen's wargame deduction and the previous traditional deduction lies in the collection and use of data, which was rarely used before, and the most important thing in the current wargame deduction is these data.

The deduction is simple: a map, a set of hard squares representing the army, a detailed set of rules, a probability table, and a dice. With this set of war chess, it is possible to realistically predict the actual combat activities on the battlefield at that time.

Deduction uses many things, mathematics, psychology, even philosophy, etc., and sometimes seemingly trivial things can often play an unexpected role, which is completely unattainable under current conditions, so it can only predict the outcome within a certain range.

But in this era, it is already a very remarkable result, at least it can help Zhao Zhen determine the direction of the war, the time of the day flies, and when the sky gradually darkens, Zhao Zhen has begun to dazzle his eyes, Di Qing, Peng Qiyang, and Huaiyu are not much better.

Sancai has whispered the time a few times, but no one paid attention, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to have dinner in the Privy Council, and he was quite picky about eating Zhao Zhen, but it was not much more expensive, which increased a kind of expectation for tomorrow............

Even if he eats in the Privy Council, even if he is a courtier close to him, Zhao Zhen still has to maintain a unique nobility of imperial power, which is beyond doubt, he sat down on the main seat of the White Tiger Festival Hall, looked at the three people who were slightly restrained and smiled: "Sit down!" I'm afraid I'll have to eat with me for the next three days. ”

Di Qing and the others bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!" Only then did he dare to stand in his seat and wait for Zhao Zhen to speak again.

Eating with the emperor is probably the saddest thing, even Peng Qi, who has followed Zhao Zhen for many years, dares to sit on half an ass, as long as Zhao Zhen asks him a question, this thing will immediately stand up like a spring board and bow down to answer.

Within three days, Di Qing and the others had already memorized all the information sent by the Black Hand and the Imperial City Division in their minds, and they could tell it clearly by taking out a map at random.

As for these Liao Dynasty and Jurchen maps...... There has long been a businessman in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not as simple as buying and selling goods, and no one can tell how many of them are black-handed merchants.

For the map survey, no one once attached such importance to the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", "knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles" is the case. The role of maps is very powerful, and the maps of the Great Song Dynasty are comparable to later generations, and even the contour lines are marked.

That's a remarkable achievement.

With a detailed map, you can know what the terrain is like, and you can make sand tables comparable to the site according to the terrain, and these sand tables are being produced in cooperation with the Gewu Institute and the general supervisor.

Before the war, you can know the local terrain, this kind of detail is completely different from hearsay, it is intuitive, real, immersive, even better than the Liao Dynasty or Jurchen generals know the local terrain, completely eliminate the shortcomings in the geographical advantage.

And the rest is only the time of day and any two factors.
