Chapter 1488: The Battle of Xuzhou (85)
For Guan Yu's offensive and defensive deduction, there are not many people in Xuzhou who are not convinced, if the deduction can be carried out in the known state of strength, then often his deduction will become the final battlefield direction, but after all, the offensive and defensive deduction is the offensive and defensive deduction after all, although Guan Yu regards himself as the other party as much as possible, but after all, some of the hidden strength of the enemy is not known to him, so the offensive and defensive deduction can only be regarded as a game at most, and when it comes to the battlefield, any situation that occurs is likely to be not in the offensive and defensive deduction.
But although Guan Yu said so, both Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei admired his offensive and defensive deduction very much, and even both of them had the experience of asking Guan Yu for offensive and defensive deduction, but everything needs some talent, including offensive and defensive deduction, obviously the two did not show talent in this regard, and in the end they had to give up hastily.
Guan Yu, the master, is actually very willing to teach him, although he is a little conceited, but in terms of offensive and defensive deduction, he really hopes that there will be another general comparable to Xu Huang, in this way, having an opponent comparable to Qihu is also a good thing for him, but unfortunately, Zhao Yun, who has high hopes for him, does not have much talent for this.
Although this sounds a little unimaginable, but this is the reality, Zhao Yun has a strong insight into cavalry combat, but he is not like Xu Huang, who admires the ancient battle array as much, so Xu Huang can use the ancient battle array to kill Guan Yu in offensive and defensive deduction, while Zhao Yun loses his armor and has no ability to return it.
You can say that this is because of the old-fashioned offensive and defensive deduction, after all, like the ancient battle array, this is the product of the morale of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, just like the war at that time, it was all a confrontation between the two armies, as for the sneak attack, it would not happen at all, because most people disdain to do so.
But Zhao Yun and his cavalry can't do this, if the cavalry proves the impact every time, then the advantage of the cavalry is equivalent to not being fully used, the cavalry is used to be fast and strange, and it is unprepared to attack it unprepared, so Zhao Yun is indeed very talented in the command of the cavalry, but in the offensive and defensive deduction of the infantry, it is even slightly inferior to Zhang Fei.
It is conceivable that Zhao Yun was just Liu Bei's captain of the guard in another time and space, and he was not enabled by Zhuge Liang until the later period, it is not unreasonable, Zhao Yun went to command the infantry to fight, it was indeed a little difficult for him, and it was strange that he could be reused by Liu Biao.
However, I have to say that Zhao Yun is still very serious and serious when he learns, but unfortunately he does lack talent in this area, Guan Yu had to advise him to give up, although Zhao Yun didn't want to admit it, but he still gave up working on the offensive and defensive deduction after a command mistake that made people laugh and cry.
In the end, even he himself sighed, it is better to spend more energy on the cavalry, Guan Yu can only nod in agreement with Zhao Yun's decision, in fact, the offensive and defensive deduction is just a game, and the deduction does not show much talent, which does not mean that there is no strength of intelligent infantry on the battlefield, just like Zhao Yun is now the governor of Xuzhou, not only mastering the dragoon army, but also commanding the Xuzhou infantry and the Langya army and the Peixian garrison, but it seems that he is learning with his heart, but he is just not open to the game.
But when commanding infantry battles, he is also a good hand, of course, this has a certain relationship with the baptism of these years, as if he and Xu Huang were not born to be the wizards of the three armies.
Guan Yu has the most say in this point, he was just a pawn at the beginning, you let him command the battle, isn't that just to catch ducks on the shelves, but then he didn't grow through the war and have today's achievements?
On the contrary, Guan Yu doesn't care too much about reading military books, just like he used to keep the military book in his hand, but now, he can't find one at home, it's better not to read the book than to read it, and if he reads too much, it becomes a paper talk, an excellent general, more or more has to respond flexibly through the situation on the battlefield, as long as there are one or two such experiences, it will become.
Of course, if you meet Zhang Fei, it is equivalent to saying it in vain, but although this kid doesn't seem to be very open-minded, he is the kind of person who is inward-looking, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the best, over the years, how many generals have folded in his hands, if you say that they are all careless enemies, it is not necessarily, it is more that he has a certain talent, after all, he has led the army for so many years, even if he is familiar with it, he will know what to do when and when.
It's like this time, although there are heavy losses, from another point of view, if it weren't for Cao Cao's fast running, he would almost have succeeded, so the battlefield is like this, you can't deny a person because of the victory or defeat of a battle, and you can't feel that he is invincible because of a victory.
But in Guan Yu's heart, the biggest surprise this year is Chen Feng, which is why he attaches so much importance to him, however, although he attaches importance to him, Guan Yu will not give him any special treatment, and everyone is treated equally, of course, many soldiers rumored that he promoted Chen Feng because of his talent in offensive and defensive deduction, which Guan Yu did not deny, but did not agree, after all, if Chen Feng did not have that ability, even if he could win him back in offensive and defensive deduction, he would not be promoted exceptionally.
Exceptional promotion, let alone Guan Yu, is a rare thing under Liu Lan's account, but if a person is really talented, then it doesn't take too long to go from a soldier to a general, for Liu Lan's mechanism of selecting talents, not only the subordinates are convinced, but even the civilian officials have begun to follow suit, in this regard, it is obvious that the army has played a good role.
Soldiers are rewarded for meritorious deeds, unless they are generals like Tai Shici and Zang Ba, who have their own troops, after all, there are only a few such generals, and more officers still have to be selected from the grassroots level, and this is the key to Liu Lan's appointment today, that is, the premise of all people is to go to the pavilion as officials, and then be promoted step by step through political achievements.
This is like a soldier being promoted step by step through his military exploits, this kind of selection is fair to everyone, unless you are really talented, then Liu Lan will not really let Kong Ming become a teacher.
It can be said that this kind of mechanism not only gives hope to the officials and officials, but also gives the soldiers a head, as for Chen Feng, although the army will have some complaints about him, many people are still convinced, after all, people's military exploits are there, although in the end it is an exceptional promotion, which is one level higher than the normal position, but the needle wheel is meaningless.
Instead of going to the celebrity family, it is better to kill a few more enemy soldiers in the next battle and make more contributions.
This kind of atmosphere is undoubtedly Guan Yu's favorite, if everyone is not good at others, then in the end it is likely to evolve into a stumbling block, if the things that harm others and themselves appear, then the Setshan camp will be completely finished, everyone is no longer proud of meritorious service, but thinking about how to deal with it, such an unmotivated army, it is so likely to win the battle.
Guan Yu may not be afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid that the troops will mess up by themselves, which is more terrible than being defeated by the enemy. was defeated by the enemy, shame and courage, everyone is together, and they can win it back next time, but if the hearts of the people are scattered, then anyone can come and step on it.
Guan Yu doesn't want to see such a thing happen, and this will not happen, because in his mountain camp, it will not happen, as long as it is done equally, then everyone will work together, because your promotion is in the eyes of everyone, and even Liu Lan also stipulates that anyone who is promoted, from the subordinate to the superintendent, needs to come out of the formula in the army, and all soldiers must see it.
In this way, if anyone is not convinced, they can bring it up in public, so that they can dispel everyone's concerns, after all, it is not a crooked way, but that's it, there are still people who question Chen Feng's exceptional promotion, but these questions are not worth refuting at all, and soon everyone shut up, although they are not convinced in their hearts, otherwise there will be no rumors such as relying on offense and defense to deduce the upper position, but in person, no one will question it.
