At noon the next day, in the Yanjia Palace, all the props for the sand table and war game deduction were ready.

According to the map provided by the Ministry of War, Cheng Chubi asked the two ingenious craftsmen to start playing with sand.

Watch the hills in the sand table gradually form outlines, and then, bend the ribbon on the sand surface to represent the river.

He also used other colored ribbons to represent the road, following the command of Cheng Chubi.

This huge sand table slowly revealed the terrain of the Tang Dynasty and Longxi at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mountains and rivers, roads, and even towns are decorated with small pieces of wood, and even small strips of cloth dyed green.

The courtyard door was tightly closed at the moment, Li Ji was left outside, and Yan Lide was standing next to him.

It's just that this master Yan didn't look in Li Ji's direction at all, and only looked at the sky.

Li Ji didn't care about his long beard, and bragged and farted with the guard at the gate of the courtyard.

While waiting for Cheng Chubi to open the door from the inside.

At this time, Li Shimin, who had left the court meeting, had already hurried over accompanied by Zhao Kun.

Yan and Li hurriedly stepped down the steps to greet the Tang Dynasty Emperor who was hurrying over.

"Why are you two here, Cheng Saburo?"

Li Ji smiled and pointed to the closed courtyard doorway.

"Your Majesty, that kid is piling up the sand table inside. The reason why we want to kick out the old man and Master Yan. ”

"That's because Cheng Sanlang, this kid, said that the sand table he built needs to be kept secret for the time being.

In this way, when I see the formed sand table, I will be able to have enough surprise. Isn't it? ”

Yan Lide didn't want to deal with Li Ji's cheekiness, but now that His Majesty was in front of him, he could only hum aggrievedly.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing. "This kid has a different brain than ordinary people, okay, then I'm waiting here."

"Look at what he can do, I heard it depicted so exaggerated before, if you don't see the effect today, hehehe......"

Hearing Li Shimin's contemptuous laughter, Li Ji said very dogly. "Your Majesty can punish this kid for his money."

Li Shimin laughed for a while, turned his head and looked at the famous general under his command, the military department Shangshu that he relied on.

The expression looked very righteous and stern, but who would have thought that such a dignified court member would do such a thing.

At this time, I heard the squeak of the courtyard door behind me, slowly opened, and the confident and calm Cheng Jialiang cub Cheng Chubi walked out.

"Your Majesty is also here, it just so happens that Weichen has finished making the sand table, and I invite Your Majesty to come in and have a look."

Li Shimin nodded, took a big stride and walked straight towards the courtyard. I came to the largest room in the courtyard.

The huge sand table was placed in the house, and Li Ji and Yan Lide followed Li Shimin into the house.

After just one glance, Li Ji's eyes lit up and he approached.

Li Shimin also looked at the sand table with bright eyes, and Cheng Chubi cleared his throat and said.

"Your Majesty, this sand table is the Longxi ...... provided by Weichen according to Li Bingbu"

"Don't talk yet, let me guess first." Li Shimin didn't give Cheng Chubi a chance to show off, and raised his hand to signal Cheng Chubi to shut up.

His eyes began to scrutinize the vivid sand table.

#####

"This piece of blue must be Qinghai, right? Then this should be Shanzhou...... I didn't expect the terrain over there to be like this......"

Sure enough, only the area around Lishui and Zhoumenshui is the most low-lying, and the climate is not so harsh.

It's no wonder that since the Han Dynasty, the trade routes have always been walking here......"

"There is no greenery here, it is very barren, but there is a river deep, it seems that this should be Liangzhou......"

Li Shimin seemed very excited, and at first he spoke relatively slowly, but next, he pointed out the fortresses one by one.

Those significant big cities, Li Shimin didn't miss it, of course, even if there was a mistake, Cheng Chubi would not point it out.

At most, he is a bar, not an ETC, so there is no need to sweep the interest of the Tang Emperor at such a time.

Li Ji saluted Li Shimin, and said with a face full of joy and sincerity.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister has figured out these passes in his heart, but he didn't expect His Majesty to have said them all."

Li Shimin laughed aloud very vigorously.

"Of course, I am familiar with this land of Longxi, back then, in order to conquer the Northwest Heroes, I was ordered by my father to personally lead the army to fight......"

But only when it comes to this, Li Shimin, the high-spirited son of the Tang Dynasty, is like a cassette, and he will be taken in an instant.

Straight to the next topic, praise the sand table.

"I didn't expect that the sand table could be so finely done, and even many important roads in Longxi were clearly marked one by one."

"If there is such a thing in the public account of the defense of the country, then the arrangement of thousands of troops will be able to understand it clearly, and the odds of victory can be increased by at least 30%."

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, Cheng Sanlang, what about your war games?"

Without saying a word, Cheng Chubi motioned to the person next to him to take the things deduced from the pile of war games.

There are several types of flag colors, and the red pennant represents the foot soldiers.

The red rectangular flag represents the cavalry, and the red oval flag represents the baggage troops......

Li Shimin curiously inquired about the function of each flag, and planted the flags into the sand table with a special long pole.

It was not a big effort, with Liangzhou as the central point, and the surrounding states were dotted with red flags.

And Li Shimin, according to the information he had obtained before, planted the black flag representing Tuyuhun soldiers and horses on the sand table.

Everything seemed so clear and clear, which made Li Shimin a little unbearable.

"Li Qing, why don't you and me give it a try and see what the effect of this war game deduction is."

Li Ji, the big man in the army, is also itching, so naturally he will not refuse. "Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers dare to disobey."

"But since the minister is the secretary of the military department of the Tang Dynasty, how about the minister command my Tang Wuben?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was directly happy, and couldn't help but laugh and scold. "According to what you say, then I am still the son of the Tang Dynasty."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, then I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will command and command the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses."

Cheng Chubi watched with amusement as His Majesty the Tang Emperor betrayed his own people in the process of war games.

Well...... When you get home, remember to write it in your diary, and record the black history of this grumpy emperor.

So His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wisely commanded the soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun and ravaged the land of Longxi in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, could only barely hold on to the tight city and wait for reinforcements before the reinforcements arrived in Longxi.

As a veteran of wargame deduction, Cheng Chubi reminded these two cheeky wargame newcomers from time to time not to foul or move the flag quietly.

It is not allowed to use the baggage team as an elite rush, in short, Cheng Chubi feels that his special mother's heart is extremely tired.
