Chapter 1272

didn't let the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu wait too long, several old generals and important ministers who had come out of the battlefield and the sea of corpses and blood gathered in the imperial study of the Son of Heaven, and of course, the big man of the Privy Council, Zhang Ji and Su Dongpo, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

The first time everyone stepped into the imperial study, they were attracted by the sand table that was the size of a bookcase, six feet square, and soon, after everyone arrived, they all looked at Wang Yang with bright eyes, and there was a small whip there poking at the small sculptures on the sand table and pointing, and the mouth was hanging from the river.

After the initial shock, the officials jumped out one after another and asked Wang Yang where the various values in the so-called war games came from.

And Wang Yang naturally advertised his theory of wargame deduction on the spot. After that, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of Wang Daguanren's war game deduction.

Wang Hou, the son of Wang Shao, one of the most famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty, was nearly forty years old, and stood up as a military representative with a strong reputation and qualifications among those present.

"Listening to Lord Wang's words, it made Wang feel itchy, it's better like this, since it is a war game deduction that can be measured to win or lose, why don't you and I use this sand table to deduce a game?"

"It's great that Lord Wang is so interested." Wang Yangzheng explained a lot to himself, and the vote obviously had that evil expression on his face, which made Wang Daguan, who was originally full of confidence and expressiveness, very painful.

I didn't expect that during the period of Song Shenzong, he presented three articles of "Pingrong Policy" to Shenzong, with the support of the emperor, opened the Xihe River, expanded the border for more than 2,000 miles, recovered the six prefectures of Xi, He, Tao, Min, Die, and Tang, and restored the situation that the Central Plains Dynasty controlled this area before the Anshi Rebellion.

It is known as the greatest military victory of the Northern Song Dynasty in 80 years after the end of the division of the Ten Kingdoms.

And Wang Hou has always followed his father's side, and he volunteered to stand up with himself in front of everyone on the sand table, Wang Yang is naturally very happy.

first explained to Wang Hou in detail the sand table, as well as the utility and rules of those various war games, but Di Yong listened to him mostly in silence, and occasionally asked a sentence or two.

Wargame deduction is actually not complicated, the complicated part lies in the strategic vision of the general and the on-the-spot play.

After asking the rules clearly, Wang Hou stroked his long black beard and smiled confidently. "Okay, then Wang will play the role of the commander of the Liao army, and Lord Wang, how about you continue to preside over the Song army?"

"Of course it's no problem, Lord Wang, please ......" Wang Yang smiled confidently, pointed in the direction of the sand table, and began to signal.

Next, it was all these high-level officials of the Great Song Dynasty who had never seen the so-called sand table wargame for the first time to see what wargame deduction was.

Wang Hou played the role of Yelu and Lu Wei, the commanders of the Liao army, very decently, and according to his way of marching, he commanded the nearly 500,000 troops and slowly advanced towards Youzhou City.

On the one hand, Wang Yang calmly responded, and on the other hand, he had leisure to explain to those important ministers the most common problems and mistakes in the process of wargame deduction.

There are also a few strong men in arithmetic who were specially ordered by the Son of Heaven next to him, there is no way, wargame deduction can't just rely on lip service, but it still needs a lot of calculation work.

Every step of Wang Yang and Wang Hou's actions will make these arithmetic powerhouses crackle and pull out abacus beads, so that they can get a positive data.

Every step is very slow and difficult, and every step requires a lot of calculations, but these ministers present are either Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, or Su Dongpo.

But no one showed impatience, because, with the sound of those calculations and reports, it represented the countless soldiers on both sides fighting for their lives on the battlefield, and also represented the loss and end of countless lives.

At first, Wang Hou just felt novel, and there were many doubts, after all, his father was Wang Shao, the most famous general of the Shenzong Dynasty, and his words and deeds also made Wang Hou, who was his son, full of confidence and pride.

What did you rely on for the merits of your fathers? Naturally, he relied on the decision of the moment, and relied on his superior military talent, but Wang Yang was ashamed to tell himself here that he could calculate the victory or defeat with the thing he had tinkered with.

What is this not? Even if Wang Hou did not participate in the Battle of Northern Shaanxi, it did not prevent him, the son of a famous general, from paying close attention to the process of the Battle of Northern Shaanxi.

After all, he had fought with his father for many years, in the northwest.

For many times, the Son of Heaven would still send edicts to these ministers, who were proficient in military strategy, to discuss the situation on the front line and their expectations for the prospects of the war.

However, Wang Yang can always surprise and win impossible victories one after another beyond everyone's expectations. Later, when the Son of Heaven ordered them to come over for consultation, the big guys almost didn't dare to say anything affirmative.

This made the generals who had been stationed in the court for a long time feel deeply aggrieved, who was not the victor on the battlefield when they were young, but now, they were slapped in the face by a junior with one unexpected victory after another.

From the very beginning of the battle of Huanqing Road, until the offensive and defensive battle of Youzhou, a group of old drivers were frustrated, although Wang Yang did not directly offend them, and even brought a lot of good things to the military of the Great Song Dynasty. made the military of the Great Song Dynasty quite fond of him.

But because he was frequently slapped in the face by this young man in anticipation, no one would feel happy.

And now, Wang Yang told everyone that the victory or defeat of the Battle of Youzhou could be calculated with this thing, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of these important ministers in the court, and Wang Hou's volunteering was in line with the expectations of a military boss.

Wang Hou's son, a military spokesperson with rich experience in facing the enemy and a family history, gave Wang Yang a good lesson and let him know that he should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

Wang Hou was very confident at first, because he really couldn't believe that just with such a wonderful sand table, a few sieves and abacus, and some formulas, he could actually calculate the victory or defeat, isn't this?

However, as the war games progressed, as the war continued as it really happened, everyone's expressions became more and more solemn, even heavy.

With the change of each step of deduction, Wang Hou was surprised to find that the morale of the Liaoxia coalition army under his control began to get lower and lower, and in the face of Youzhou City, which was so strong in defense, and powerful offensive and defensive weapons such as the Yuanyou stone throwing machine, all of which made his hundreds of thousands of great powers useless.

What made him desperate the most was that as the war continued, all the strategies and changes of the Liao army commanders Yelu and Lu Wei seemed to have fallen into Wang Yang's grasp, and every move of chess was so difficult.

And the faces of those generals who were originally full of confidence, as long as the commanders are different, even if they have the same strategy, can definitely have an advantage, are becoming more and more ugly.

And Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, saw that his eyes lit up, and with the change of those numbers, it corresponded not only to the troops, baggage supplies, but also morale and wounded......

Changes in these values are affecting the winners and losers on the battlefield. With the continuation of the war, the addition of uncertain factors made it more and more difficult for Wang Hou.
