Pig Killer

Chapter 233

Apart from fighting against people, the most common war is against nature.

The harsh natural environment threatens human life at any time.

Human beings are so insignificant in the face of natural disasters!

"Learn to read?"

"How can we not learn? What do you want us to do? There is nothing I can't do!"

“Why do we need to learn to read?”

"This is what I'm most worried about." Zhang Jixian muttered quietly, "Sometimes you can't change it just because you want to."

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. You don't want to be a general! You will be a soldier all your life!" Shen Hui'e said to them with gentle eyes.

"General... hehe..."

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Hui'e said with her dark pupils as she looked at them smiling foolishly.

"Can we?"

"We can be generals too?"

"Aren't all generals nobles?"

“We don’t know anything!”

"Except for a little strength."

"Who is not born with the ability to..." Shen Hui'e suddenly stopped, swallowed the word "knowledge" and changed her words, "No one is born knowing everything. These nobles are just like us. They are also taught by others. They have to study hard to learn." She looked at them encouragingly and said, "We can learn! Although it's so late, hard work can make up for lack of talent. I don't believe you can't learn it. Just like them, you will definitely learn it." She shouted loudly, "Tell me if you are willing to learn?"

"Yes!" they shouted in unison.

"As long as you are willing." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her face.

"Mrs. Shen, we are willing to learn, but what's the point of learning it?"

"Yes! If you tell us to charge, we can just charge and kill the enemy."

"We are not afraid of death."

"Originally, this life was given to us by Brother Huang."

Shen Hui'e's black eyes flashed slightly. She didn't expect this guy to have such a high prestige!

"You are not afraid of death, but I am!" Shen Hui'e said bluntly, "Everyone's life is a life, and life is precious. You only get one life, and once it's gone, it's gone." She paced back and forth and said, "Why do we let you train? It's to reduce casualties." She stopped and stood in front of them, looking at them with resolute eyes and said, "Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in war."

"What did you say? What are we going to do?"

"That's right, we listen to you."

"As for why I want to teach you to read!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "It is to win the battle."

"Isn't fighting based on strength?"

"The stronger you are, the better. You can kill more people."

"What you said is all right. You should be praised for your bravery in battle." Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and said, "But fighting requires your brain, not just rushing forward. That is reckless behavior." She pulled the dry grass leaves on the ground with the stick in her hand and drew a city wall.

"For example, in this siege, our goal is to capture the city." Shen Hui'e looked up at them and said, "How do we attack?"

"How can we fight him? Charge forward! Kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

"You who are building the imperial mausoleum have seen a city with high walls and wide fortresses, right?" Shen Hui'e said to them with her eyes like black jade.

“Yes, I have.”

"Then their archers are ready, rolling logs and rocks, occupying an advantageous position, can you still attack them?" Shen Hui'e looked at them and asked, "If you attack, nine out of ten will die or be injured. Do you want such a victory? Don't say it's impossible to win."

"Uh..." Everyone was speechless and stared at each other.

"We are surrounding them but not fighting! If they are trapped to death, there will be little food left in the city."

"Hmm! That's a good idea." Shen Hui'e's eyes lit up when she heard that. "What's your name?"

"My name is Chen Qingyun."

"You're right. How long will it take for us to surround the city without attacking? If the siege goes on for too long, how will we get food and fodder?" Shen Hui'e said as she glanced at them with her bright eyes.

"Aren't there farmlands outside the city? Aren't there any grains in the fields? When the grain is harvested..." Chen Qingyun said with a proud smile, "We will have grains."

"The city guards saw us coming and burned the food!" Shen Hui'e said with cold eyes.

"what!"

"How dare they? Crops are our lifeblood."

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and said, "They have fortified their cities and cleared the fields. They have burned all the food and destroyed all the houses. They won't leave us any food or firewood. Without firewood in winter, people will freeze to death, let alone cook."

Their eyes widened as they listened, it was truly an eye-opener.

"Don't be so surprised. They will do anything to win. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with murderous intent and said, "When the two armies faced each other, they even put the women and children in the city in the front to consume our fighting power."

"This is shameless." They said angrily.

"War is so cruel." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her inky black eyes and said, "You will do anything to win."

"Then how do we fight?"

"Draw out the snake, divide and surround, besiege a point and attack the reinforcements, make a feint to the east and attack in the west." Shen Hui'e looked at them with cold eyes and said, "Fighting requires strategy. We ordered an attack on this city, and you as the frontline should come up with an effective siege strategy." The wooden roller in her hand pointed at the city drawn and said, "You should come up with an effective attack plan. Is this uncultured?"

Shen Hui'e looked at them in a daze and said to them one by one, "So wars can be fought this way."

"I thought I just had to follow orders."

"In terms of military command, we provide more guidelines and policies, and give a general principle. The specific actions are left to the officers and soldiers on the front line to make their own judgments based on this principle." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her sparkling eyes and said, "The person who formulates a combat plan does not rush in all at once."

"But we can't!"

"That's why we have to learn it!" Shen Hui'e looked at them tenderly and said, "We can't fight like a reckless man. How do you attack a city? How do you lure the enemy out of their hole? What should we do after they come out? Attack from several directions. Who is the main attacker and who is the assisting one? Who attacks the city and who attacks the reinforcements..."

"that……"

"Just tell me what's going on." Shen Hui'e looked at Chen Qingshan gently and said.

"Aren't we together? Why does it sound like you don't care about us anymore?"

"We were definitely together at the beginning, but now that your territory is big, can we still be together?" Shen Hui'e said with a gentle smile, "For example, when the court sends troops to suppress the rebellion against the court, there are thousands of mountains and rivers between the court and the commander-in-chief! It takes a month to deliver a message! Can the various armies on the front and the generals who command the armies communicate and contact effectively and in a timely manner? It is very difficult to establish coordination between the armies." After a pause, she continued, "Under this situation, can we still execute the orders from above step by step? This often causes the front-line troops to act slowly and rigidly. . The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and the generals in the rear are unable to understand the changes in the battlefield situation in the first place, and the orders they issue are often delayed. Sometimes, due to changes in roads and weather, the front line can't even receive orders at all. "He continued, "In this environment, the so-called orthodox command method often leads to the army facing a rapidly changing situation. Can they only stand there in a daze? Sit and wait for death. At this time, you need to actively fight and command yourself. How can you fight without learning military books and strategies, setting up camps, and understanding the weather and terrain!"

"Do you need to learn so much to fight a war?"

"Of course. You also need to understand your opponent's personality. Is he indecisive, stubborn, or afraid of death..." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "After all, wars are commanded by people. You can exploit his weaknesses."

"Ahem..." Huang Zhongchang coughed twice when he heard this. He wondered if it was necessary to be so blunt.

Shen Hui'e glanced back at him and continued, "Learn it! It will benefit you for life, whether it's survival or your future military career."

"How did you say this?"

"We are no longer fighting. We have retired and returned to the countryside. No matter what we do, we have to deal with people." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her gentle eyes and said, "What we learned on the battlefield, the strategies, strategies, and tactics can also be used on the battlefield without swords and swords." She looked at them encouragingly and said, "We can win battles, make a lot of money, and overcome difficulties one after another!"

"understood."

“Let’s learn!”

Shen Hui'e looked at them with satisfaction and said, "Okay!"

"But there are words on these bamboo slips. Where can we get so many bamboo slips?"

"Yes! There are so many of us, how many bamboo slips do we need?"

"We are extremely poor now, we can't spend money like this."

"Use a branch to write on the soil, or dip your index finger in clean water and write on the table." Shen Hui'e said with a smile.

“This method is good and doesn’t cost money.”

"We got here this way too." The big tiger said while looking at them with a smile.

"Is this how the young master learns to write?"

"Yes! Yes! Brothers." The big tiger smiled and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"We don't have that many teachers to teach you how to read now. Can we let Da Chong and the others teach you?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"no problem!"

"I have to thank you, young master."

"I'm glad you don't mind me being small." The big insect said to them with a blushing face.

"How could that be? If he teaches us how to write at such an old age, he would be a little teacher."

Zhang Jixian heard this and said, "I have already asked for help from the gentleman in the city. I think someone will be here soon. Let's squeeze in for the time being."

"What's this!"

"Awu, arrange for them to learn to write first." Huang Zhongchang ordered directly.

"Yes!" Awu clasped his hands together and accepted the order.

"Just follow Brother Awu!" Shen Hui'e said to Dachong and the others with her gentle eyes.

"Hey!" the big tiger responded with a smile on his face.
