77: Fight and plot
Hei Tian Ruoshui paused, and the conversation suddenly took a turn. said with a smile: "But Sanada-san, "The Art of War" also has clouds, the first army is to fight, the second is to fight, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city. Therefore, the two armies clashed, and the battle of wits was better than the fighting power.
Those who fight wisdom, make a contribution, can reap very benefits. Those who fight will kill 1,000 people and damage 800 themselves. Therefore, I think that in order to deal with this Cheng Li in the Central Plains, there is no need to attack strongly. There is no need to sacrifice our samurai in exchange for the life of one of his samurai. ”
Sanada Takibing has always known what the other party can do. At the moment, he said in a condensed voice: "Then according to Hei Tiansang's meaning, what should we do?"
Hei Tian Ruoshui smiled confidently and said: "The thirteenth chapter of "The Art of War" is 'use room'. This article is actually the most essential part of Sun Tzu's Art of War. As long as you can read this article and learn to use it. Although the world is big, there is nothing difficult anymore. Sanada-san, you should be able to understand when I say this, right?"
Sanada Takibing was shocked, and then he took a deep look at this wise man who even Toyotomi Taiko was afraid of, and then said slowly: "Understood." Then, this matter will be entrusted to Heitiansan. I will cooperate accordingly. Everything, all please. ”

It was completely unexpected by Cheng Li. For two days in a row, the army of pirates stationed in the town of Fairy did not show any signs of counterattacking.
Based on the information explored by the spies. The main force of the Japanese in Fairy Town is only to contain the defeated soldiers, reorganize the army, and strengthen the defense of Fairy Town.
Even the small group of pirates who had been sent to the surrounding towns and towns to plunder people and property were completely retracted and no longer dispatched. All of a sudden, the area around Yangzhou City within a radius of hundreds of miles became clean, just like before the invasion of the Japanese invaders.
If something is abnormal, it will be a demon. It is impossible for the Japanese to eat such a small loss, but it is by no means a big loss, so they stop and prepare to go home.
Even if you think about it with your toes, you can think that these would-be robbers must have other plans. However, what exactly is the scheme? No matter how many spies are dispatched, they will never find out what the reason is. It is full of doubts and wonders.
Yu Dayou and Qi Jiliang, the two generals of the dragon and tiger, are really proficient in the art of war. But even they couldn't understand what the would-be was planning. Cheng Li only has the ability to charge into battle, and he can still take the stage. This kind of strategy, playing with the eyes of the heart, is not what he is good at.
However, it is also said in "The Art of War". "Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible when the enemy is victorious. You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy. ”
The meaning of these words is roughly to do your best first and minimize the factors that will lead to failure on your side. Then think about how to defeat the enemy.
Therefore, Cheng Li didn't care about what happened to the Japanese Kou, he just took care of himself and continued to lead the Yulin Army to train every day. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Royal Forest Army at the highest level. In this way, no matter how the war situation changes in the future, it will be able to respond to all changes with the same change.
However, Jiangjiazhuang is at the forefront of the war against the Japanese after all. Although Cheng Li himself is not afraid of staying here, others don't think so. You must know that Cheng Li is a relative of the emperor. If he has three longs and two shorts, no one in this Yangzhou realm can afford it.
Therefore, after the situation in Jiangjiazhuang calmed down a little, Li Tingshi in Yangzhou City sent people over three times a day to ask Cheng Li to go back.
Cheng Li waited in Jiangjiazhuang for five days, and he was really annoyed by the urging. In addition, it is really inconvenient to think of a big girl's family in Guan'er and stay on the battlefield with her. So I had to compromise. Give the Yulin Army to his lieutenant general Cheng Weibo.
In addition, the five guardians of the ten evil gods of the Demon Temple also remained in the army. Cheng Li himself returned to Yangzhou City with Guan'er. Anyway, the distance between Jiangjiazhuang and Yangzhou City is not far. If something happens, you can gallop on a fast horse, and you won't even need half an hour, and you can already arrive. I'm not afraid that I will make a mistake because of this.
Back in Yangzhou City, there was nothing else to do. It's just eating, drinking, and socializing every day. Cheng Li attended this kind of occasion twice, and he already felt greatly impatient. When anyone came to ask for it, they refused all. It is only said to the outside world that in order to deal with the Japanese invaders, Yan Guogong concentrated on retreat and martial arts. In this way, the gentry and wealthy merchants in Yangzhou City did not dare to harass again, and finally settled quietly.
However, the quiet days did not last a few days. Soon, the silence was shattered.
This morning, Cheng Li had just gotten up and was stretching in the yard. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The soldiers around him went to open the door to take a look, but it was a young man wearing a long robe and a sword hanging from his waist. In his hand, he also held a worship box.
The soldiers glanced up and down at the young man, and couldn't guess his origin for a while, so they immediately asked.
The young man's eyebrows were slightly arrogant, and he said, "A disciple of the Xiahuashan Sect, surnamed Zhang." In accordance with the order of the lower master, the head of Huashan, the 'Nine Divine Sword', he came to send an invitation to the owner of Cheng Zhuang. ”
The pro-soldier is not a person in the martial arts, so he naturally doesn't know who the "Master Cheng Zhuang" is. For a moment, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and I didn't know what to do.
Cheng Li walked over. said: "I am Cheng Li." Are you a disciple of the Huashan Sect?"
This young man suddenly saw Cheng Li's appearance, and was shocked by the appearance of the heavenly man, and he was speechless in an instant.
But Ren Daoran, the head of Huashan's "Nine Divine Sword", is the sect master of the Qi Sect. As a disciple of Ren Daoran, this young man is quite at home in Qi cultivation and kung fu. So after only half a day, I have come back to my senses. He saluted respectfully and said, "Meet Master Cheng." Under it is Zhang Taifeng, a disciple of Huashan. In the name of the family teacher, please go to meet the owner of Cheng Zhuang. ”
Cheng Li took the invitation and opened it, and said, "Yinfeng Pavilion? This is a very famous restaurant in Yangzhou City. The head of Ren has contracted the entire restaurant, which is not a small one. ”
There was a pause. Cheng Li put away the invitation and said with a bow: "Okay, you can go back." Tell Master Ren that at noon, I will definitely go to the meeting. ”
Zhang Taifeng, a disciple of Huashan, was overjoyed. He bowed respectfully again before leaving.
Signal the soldiers to close the gate of the courtyard. Cheng Li turned around and was about to go back to the room. Suddenly, I saw Guan'er standing in front of me, and said with bright eyes: "Brother Cheng, is it an invitation from the head of Huashan?"
Cheng Li nodded and said, "Not bad." It's Ren Daoran. It seems that the bloody case of the seven major factions of Bai Yujing, as well as the bloody case of Bixia Yuanjun Temple in Tai'an Mansion, although these two cases have been closed in the official mansion. But on the rivers and lakes, there is still no aftermath. ”
Guan'er couldn't wait to say: "Then Brother Cheng, people will also go to see the excitement, is it okay?hehe~ People want to see what the heads of the Seven Great Sword Sects will be." ”
Cheng Li smiled: "Isn't it two eyes, a nose, and a mouth? What will be the difference? But if you want to go, then go." It's just that before you go, you have to eat first. Hey, a treat in a restaurant? I have a hunch that we won't be able to eat anything anyway. ”
