Chapter 155: The corpse-positioned diner

The rain finally stopped, and the bright spring scenery with the sun is even more breath of spring.

Guo Shao's daily routine in Tokyo gradually established rules, and the guards' office went to the direct and inspected the military camps; he attended court meetings on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and took a break on ten days.

In his opinion, this job is not hard, the intensity and time are very average, and it is a little relaxed; the rewards are very generous.

In this era where many people still live by eating braised vegetables, these senior military generals and civil officials live a pampered life... Obviously, people at this time want to live such a life.

Guo Shao cherishes this job very much, learns to be cautious in his words and actions, and spends his energy and time silently in places that others cannot see, so as not to put unhelpful pressure on his colleagues.

Of course he really wants to consolidate everything he gets and build a sense of security.

Perhaps everyone thought so like him, so when the governor and warlords had the strength in the past, they were never willing to hand over military power, they were unwilling to hand over security, and they gave their lives to the central court.

But now the center of power has been tilted towards the imperial guards.

After the dot, Han Tong, Gao Huaide and others walked out of the lobby.

Chai Gui, who was walking behind, said: The North Ya Palace Front Office is enlisting soldiers again, making a prosperous life. Our Guard Office has no movement at all. Should we do something?

Although Chai Gui was the clan of Emperor (Guo) Chai Rong, he did not have much power in the Guards Department. He said this coincidentally, which sounded like a complaint, but in one sentence, our Guards Department almost touched everyone on the spot, as if everyone was a grasshopper on the same rope.

Han Tong snorted, raised his airs and said: The selection of soldiers in the front office of the palace is the will of the official.The imperial edict did not allow the guards to move. What's wrong with everyone being more stable?

Gao Huaide said: There is no war for the time being, but we must also let the guards maintain their combat effectiveness, and don’t let the soldiers think that they can occupy their military salary for their vacancies.

The group talked a few times, walked to the corridor, and worshiped each other and did their own things.

Guo Shao and Gao Huaide were deliberately slowing down their pace and walking side by side with him, but they saw that Gao Huaide was still half a shoulder slower than him and did not exceed.

Guo Shao turned around and said: I have some methods to lead the army and would like to ask General Gao for advice.

Guo Shao watched Gao Huaide speak and took the opportunity to observe his expression quietly.

But seeing him with a calm face, righteous face, and his every move was quite majestic, and he could not see anything unusual.

Guo Shao was thinking about what happened with his sister. When he looked at Gao Huaide's performance, he felt that the secret matter should not be revealed, so he felt a little relieved... I think everyone's private affairs are not easy to be made public. Perhaps there is someone behind Gao Huaide who has a serious face. Who can find out about it?

There is also a clerk Zaoli from the official office around him, and Guo and Gao pay special attention to their words and deeds.

Gao Huaide hurriedly said: I dare not take it if I ask for advice.

Guo Shao disagreed and said with a smile: Although my military position is slightly higher than General Gao, General Gao comes from a family of military generals and is good at leading troops. He is afraid that you will hide it and don’t want to tell me.

Gao Huaide said: If General Guo asks, I will definitely speak out.

Well, let’s go to the check-in house and discuss in detail.Guo Shao said.

The two walked to the attic to sign the house together, and the warehouse was behind it, which was built upstairs to prevent moisture.Since he was asking the secret, Guo Shao shut up first.

He didn't ask about military tactics at the moment, and took out a list from his arms and said calmly: Recently, when I looked at the old file, I saw that some people were "inappropriate in the management of the army"... It was exactly the same as the generals who called Huaide Army in Huainan. I would like to see the general Gao.

Gao Huaide took it in his hand and browsed it, then looked up and said: There is someone from the Ma Junsi.

Guo Shao said: Han Lingkun has not returned to Beijing yet.I will give you one to make General Gao have a clear mind. If someone knows him in the Ma Jun Si Longjiejun, he can do this together.

Of course, what Guo Shao said about improper military management and lack of talent is only based on his mouth; the improper military management is because they have a close relationship with Li Chongjin.

I had to find a way to kick it away so as not to be upset among the army of the Guards.

Gao Huaide stopped and nodded: I had already discussed it just now, and most of the generals agreed. Although there was no war, we must ensure that the military's military is strictly governed with appropriate measures.Those who are in vain for free will keep those who are in charge of the corpse, which will drag down the elite troops of the Guards.

Guo Shao said: It is precisely this principle that the official family lets us take charge of the Guards Department, and we cannot have a heavy trust from the official family.

When Gao Huaide heard Guo Shao mention the official family, he thought to himself and nodded.

At this time, Guo Shao stopped the topic and asked: I suddenly remembered something. If there are tens of thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, how can I convey military orders after half-war?

Gao Huaide said straight: Send a fast horse to pass the order.

Guo Shao pondered: When I was in Haozhou, the first army attacked the city and hutted.The enemy sent out detailed horse soldiers to spread rumors in the central army and falsely spread military orders. What should we do?

Gao Huaidedao: An important military order, send familiar generals to you.You can tell the truth and falsehood by recognizing people, and you can also bring a seal.

Guo Shao nodded and talked with Gao Huaide again. After asking carefully, he learned about Gao Huaide's habit of leading troops to fight.

Gao Huaide did not have any strict command system. Apart from the orders of war and defense, the specific operations basically depend on the decentralization of power by the deputy generals and their generals. The main tactics are nothing more than setting up formations, advancing and retreating.

There are also some harassment, spy and other tasks, and they are directly ordered to do it.

Guo Shao always felt unsatisfied. Such an organizational form was too loose and relied too much on the personal performance and prestige of generals at all levels; the military orders issued by Guhou Jin and others could only be some simple combat orders.

When the battle is over, it is difficult to coordinate what tactical goals to achieve and what intentions to follow when the situation changes... No wonder the generals who can use the plan are more capable at this time, because with a large number of people, it is difficult to command in time, and it is even more difficult to make any changes between the departments.

Therefore, it is the mainstream way of fighting for strength and weakness.

Many times, you can guess the winner or lose if you haven’t played yet.

Because the army at this time did not have a general staff.Guo Shao thought that this might be the reason.

But how to establish a General Staff?

Guo Shao found that the messenger organization he took for granted was very impractical, and it also dragged down the efficiency of the army's response and was extremely prone to errors.

After Gao Huaide said goodbye, Guo Shao did not revise the old file today, and just sat next to the table to ponder the situation of the Battle of Haozhou.

He looked back and felt that his original idea was not wrong, but the way was wrong.

After hearing what Gao Huaide said just now, Guo Shao gradually had some new ideas, which were more suitable for the actual situation... Those complicated seals are not easy to use, and they can be replaced by people familiar with what Gao Huaide said.

(The more Guo Shao thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. If the commanders were asked to send three or five personal soldiers he knew and put them in the central army to form a messenger organization; the central army then sent generals to recognize and manage these personal soldiers... When orders were required to issue orders to a certain unit, they only needed to send a messenger, which was all the personal soldiers of generals at all levels, so it was naturally possible to distinguish between true and false.

A staff member was then set up in the military office, and each written military order was signed by the staff member; the general used the signature to compare the handwriting.Can assist in anti-counterfeiting.)

He drafted these ideas on paper, wrote nouns, and used lines to derive internal logical relationships.

I thought it would work theoretically, but I still felt unsure; the failure of the tweak in the Battle of Haozhou at that time left some shadows on him.

But Guo Shao also thought: every method is thought out by people. If you don’t try it, you will never evolve a better method, nor can you verify whether it is applicable; in ancient humans, in combat, used stones and sticks to fight in groups, and later, chariot warfare and horse stance shooting, were all processes of continuous progress, and they could not be learned from their predecessors at the beginning.

The best way to verify is exercises, which are completely different from the conventional school inspection and training in this era.

Now, when training on the school field, we either practice archery, horse riding and shooting, or we arrange the array, and there is no real exercise... As for how the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou imperial guards was cultivated, it was not based on training at all, but it was trained through decades of war and practical experience.

Guo Shao paced around the signing room, feeling that he could not organize the exercise.

First of all, he did not have the right to mobilize troops. To pull the imperial guards out to simulate combat, it required the approval of the emperor and the Privy Councilor. From submitting the memorial to approving the mobilization of troops, it required a complicated process.

And obviously the Privy Council will guess your intention to do this; what is the intention?

If the Privy Council cannot understand it, it will only add to the trouble.

Secondly, the target of the school inspection exercise can only be the left wing of the Hu Jie Army.

Only this army can Guo Shao be familiar with and easy to deploy.

He, a horse and stance officer, practiced the left wing of the Hujie Army alone, which was equivalent to proclaiming to the court: The left wing is my territory, my private army!

Guo Shao thought about it and decided to be more low-key, and behave the same as everyone else, so he doesn't have to take the initiative to cause trouble.

He immediately took a piece of paper, organized the idea into a text, wrote it out and put it in his pocket, and it was not shown to others.

He was thinking about it and wanted to adapt and improve the role of signals such as drums, gold and military flags.

The battlefield is too wide to use these things to command the overall battle, but each unit uses it separately, which can be more conducive to coordinated advance and retreat at the command level.

……

After lunch, he looked at the old files again, and Guo Shao went to the military garrisons to inspect them, as usual.Then go home, and the work and rest are very regular.

When he arrived at home, Jingniang came to see her and said: The queen sent someone to let Qingxu enter the palace tomorrow and teach her a new way of resting.

After hearing this, Guo Shao touched his forehead and thought to himself that the emperor is in the palace now, so it would be better to be careful.Then he said: Since it is the queen's decree, you will take Qingxu away tomorrow.

Jingniang was silent for a moment, but did not ask if she wanted to give the queen any words.Since Guo Shao didn't mention it, she said: I understand, so I go to Qingxu and let her get up early tomorrow.
