Have you ever been on a battlefield?
Looking at you, you probably haven't even held a knife before, right?
For a moment, the soldiers on the drill ground thought disdainfully, but no one spoke. After all, they had to maintain the seriousness of a soldier. They could not destroy their solemn expressions just to vent their dissatisfaction.
Qin Qiong couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but he still tried his best to ask calmly,""What do you think, Brother Ye? What exactly is wrong with my army?”
In the eyes of a modern person like Ye Fan, the tactical concepts of the ancient people were really too backward.
If he could teach them some modern tactical concepts, they would be able to integrate them into practical operations on the battlefield, and the casualties would definitely be much lower.
If he said something, he might be able to save many people's lives. Even if he offended Qin Qiong, Ye Fan had to say it.
"What are you guys training for? Was it purely for the sake of dealing with them, or was it for the sake of getting less injured and bleeding on the battlefield in the future?”
"I know what all of you are thinking. You all think that this is the capital, that this is the rear, and that no war can happen, so you have been very relaxed. If an enemy came at this time, with your current state, you would be destroyed in minutes.”
Ye Fan's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the sky above the entire drill ground.
"You might think that I've never been in the army and don't know how to govern the army. But let me tell you, even if I've never been in the army, I can tell that you're just standing here for me to see!”
"Because there is no killing intent in your eyes!!”
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Qin Qiong's heart shook.
That's right!
Although the soldiers under him had participated in the suppression of Wang Bo's uprising, they had only been transferred by the general to be gilded.
Just like that, he was defeated.
If they were to fight head-on against Wang Bo's Revolutionary Army, it was very likely that they would be completely wiped out.
Ye Fan could really be said to have woken someone up from a dream with one sentence. He liked to put on a show. This was a common problem of the twelve prefecture soldiers.
It wasn't just Qin Qiong's troops, all the 12 prefecture soldiers were like this.
Because they were the emperor's personal guards, the elite troops guarding the emperor's feet!
As time passed, the purpose of the twelve prefecture soldiers 'existence gradually became to show off, to please the emperor, and to give the nobles of Luoyang a sense of security and face.
Therefore, their training was mainly based on performance.
The usual assassination training was not practical at all. As long as the training was good enough, that was the most important.
Ye Fan's fatal flaw was really to the point. Although his words were not very nice, as the saying went, honest advice was unpleasant to the ear.
"Commandant Qin, these words are not only for the soldiers, but also for you. I know that I may not be qualified to stand here and shout at you all. I also know that what I say may not be correct.”
"However, I sincerely hope that when the soldiers face war in the future, there will be fewer casualties!”
" Therefore, I suggest that you train more subjects and strengthen your awareness training so that you can be prepared at all times. You can't think that you can rest easy just because you are under the emperor's feet. That is a big mistake! What will you do if the enemy comes to the city in the future?”
"Your training subjects, training intensity, and mentality during training have to be adjusted. If you're afraid of blood and sweat, why would you join the army? Why don't you go and farm somewhere else!"
"A qualified soldier not only needs to be able to govern the army, but also needs to be able to calm the people. Therefore, in the future training subjects, I strongly recommend that you add a training subject-literacy!”
"You may think that learning to read is useless, but let me tell you, if an elite army thinks that their current state is enough and doesn't want to seek greater development, then pretend that I didn't say anything before.”
"Remember, all the generals who are conferred the title of marquis and minister are all well-versed in both literature and martial arts. Have you ever seen a blind person who can't read a single word become a general?”
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Qin Qiong and the others immediately blushed.
His words were indeed sharp and unpleasant to hear, but they hit the nail on the head and pierced through people's hearts!
If Ye Fan did not say it, they would not have realized these problems. After all, they had been content with the status quo for a long time, which made them more or less relaxed.
The praises they received and the fake results they obtained usually gave them an illusion.
They always felt that they had done well enough, even very well. They also felt that they had trained very hard.
But thinking about it, if they trained to such a level, would they be able to unleash the true power of an army of tigers and wolves on the battlefield?
The answer was no.
After hearing Ye Fan's suggestions, Qin Qiong could be said to have benefited a lot.
For a moment, he could not help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that Ye Fan was valued by the emperor because he did have some ability.
A person who had never joined the army and could see problems so sharply, it really made Qin Qiong, this old general who boasted of being immersed in managing the army for many years, feel somewhat ashamed.
Martial arts can bring peace to the world, literature can lift a pen to determine the world, this is the kind of person, right?
Thinking about how Ye Fan led 30 shop assistants at the intersection today and defeated more than 100 slaves of Yuwen Chengji with fewer people, Qin Qiong couldn't help but think about how far he could go in the future if Ye Fan came to see him.
Perhaps, he could really reach the level of General Lai.
"Commandant Qin, you're being ridiculous. This Ye has only dabbled slightly and isn't as godly as you say.”
Ye Fan smiled humbly.
"Brother Ye, don't be so modest. With your intelligence, you can achieve greater success in the army. Why are you willing to stay in the common people and open an ordinary restaurant?”
Ye Fan could naturally understand Qin Qiong's words.
