After washing, Gao Yang dressed up neatly and walked towards the army commander's camp, at this time, the Eastern Wei Dynasty hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Yubi City inside and out, attacking Yubi day and night, from the Chinese army's big tent can hear a burst of killing sounds in front of the big tent, and the air faintly smells of blood.

Gao Yang walked forward quickly, and bowed respectfully to the captain of the guard stationed in the big tent of the Chinese army: "I will have something important to report to my father, and I hope the general will report it." ”

The captain of the guard was an old man who had served Gao Huan for many years when he was in Qianlong, he quickly recognized Gao Yang, and was very satisfied with Gao Yang's humility, so he smiled and said: "Second Young Lord, please wait a while, Rong Ben will go and report to the Prime Minister." ”

After the captain of the guard finished speaking, he quickly strode into the big tent of the Chinese army, leaving Gao Yang outside the tent to wait for orders.

The barracks are laid out in all directions, the Chinese army tent is located in the center, the surrounding area is the military tent wooden house of the pro-guard army, in front of which is the dense Eastern Wei Bu military camp, and then there is a vast school field, which is mainly used for training the army and a buffer area in case of emergencies.

On the right side of the big tent of the Chinese army is the Chinese army horse army, a rectangular wooden house, there is a row of stables at the side door, in which all kinds of war horses are parked, the left and the back are also the Chinese infantry, the Chinese army archers, the Chinese army auxiliaries, these are the "six squares" Xianbei soldiers composed of the elite of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

With the main account of the Chinese army as the center of the circle, each army system takes the regiment as the large unit, and then divides it into brigades and teams for management in turn, and at the same time, according to the Chinese army, the town garrison and the state and county soldiers continue to radiate from the inside to the outside, forming a solid regionalized defense circle, so that even if the enemy steals the camp or the army bombs the camp, it can be efficiently managed, and at the same time, the elite army can be given the corresponding time to prepare.

Gao Yang couldn't help but feel that the layout of the ancient military camp hid so much knowledge of the art of war, and the theory of the art of war of the predecessors in the era of cold weapons was broad and profound. The military essence of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period of China is not inferior to the ancient Roman legion theory in Europe, or even stronger than this, after all, this is a turbulent era in Chinese history, which was explored and practiced in countless battles, and the scale of the war is far greater than that of the ancient Roman period.

Just when Gao Yang's thoughts were flying and he was full of emotion, the captain of the pro-guard army who had just gone in to report opened the curtain and walked out, and saluted respectfully: "The second young man has been waiting for a long time, and the prime minister has invited him into the camp." After speaking, he helped lift the curtain and bowed down to wait for Gao Yang to enter.

Gao Yang didn't dare to hold it up, returned the military salute, and then walked into the coach's tent with a nervous expression.

At this time, there was a burly figure in front of the main tent, looking at the military map motionlessly, and did not speak, as if he did not know that Gao Yang had come in.

Gao Yang looked at this back, quickly tidied up his military uniform, bowed his head respectfully and solemnly, and bowed his head and said: "The child greets his father, and wishes his father a long life." ”

It's just that after finishing speaking, there was no sound in the main tent, and he couldn't help but glance at the front with his eyes, and the figure still didn't move, staring at the military map, motionless.

Only a few seconds later, Gao Yang felt a silent pressure, this may be the momentum of the king, even if he is quietly motionless, it will give people a sense of breathless coercion, worthy of being the first person in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the man should be like this! But his soul consciousness is not the predecessor, so he doesn't have such a strong sense of superiority and inferiority.

Finally, the figure turned around, looked at Gao Yang, who was kneeling, and said softly, "Get up." ”

This sound made Gao Yang feel relieved, and he quickly knelt down to thank him, and then slowly stood up, standing on the side with a respectful face, waiting for his father's greeting.

Gao Huan looked at this second son, who had just recovered from his illness, and his eyes were no longer the harsh they used to be, but a kind one, and said gently: "How is your body recovering?" ”

"Back to the father, the child is no longer in serious trouble, and he can continue to share the burden for his father."

"Well, it's rare that you have a piece of filial piety, so you're not in a hurry."

I saw Gao Huan walking over gently, looking at Gao Yang with a respectful face, and asked, "Hou Niyu, my father has never guided you the difference between being handsome and being a general, do you know the difference between the two?" ”

When Gao Yang heard Gao Huan's question, he remembered that he had seen Liu Bang and Han Xin's conversation about being a general and being a handsome in the TV series before, and couldn't help but respectfully return: "The Art of War: 'Those who can lead the troops are called generals, and those who can lead generals are called handsome'." Charging into battle is a general, and strategizing is a handsome talent. But the child thinks that there are two kinds of handsome, one is a handsome talent who can lead a general in a military sense, like the ancient Leyi Han Xin, and the other is a handsome talent who can not only lead the army to lead the army, but also be able to govern the country and the army, just like the ancient Liu Bang Cao Cao, as well as heroes such as his father. ”

After Gao Huan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and at the same time felt that there was an indescribable change in Gao Yang's body, judging from his expression, it seemed that he was very respectful to himself, but there was a cautious in the previous respect, but this time, he felt that Gao Yang was more of a respect, not as strong as before.

He didn't know that Gao Yang's soul consciousness had the thinking of modern people, and he was more influenced by the concept of equality for everyone, and there was no strong relationship between the emperor and the minister, father and son.

Gao Huan looked at his second son, patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Hou Niyu (Gao Yang Zijin, Xianbei name Hou Niyu), you are twenty years old in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast, I am very happy to see that you can have this kind of thought, I am very happy for my father, it is true that just from a military point of view, it is enough to learn Le Yi Han Xin, but any military war will involve the support of the national economy and system, and the strength of the army alone cannot completely achieve absolute victory, it must be that the two complement each other." ”

Gao Huan paused after speaking, and then said solemnly: "You are a hussar general, strictly speaking, you are also a leader, what you have to do should be how to protect your own life on the premise of encouraging and driving your soldiers to move forward bravely, instead of mainly putting yourself to death and then revitalizing, to drive your subordinates, that is stupid, because you obviously have the morale of the entire army but do not take advantage of it, and gamble on your own life and death, this is a stupid failure, do you understand?" ”

"Father, the child understands that the problem will definitely be fully considered next time."

"Hmph, it's good that you know, you are my Gao Huan's son, you were born with a higher starting point than others, if you don't make good use of the connections you have, it's no different from ordinary civilians." Gao Huan criticized seriously.

After hearing this, Gao Yang smiled bitterly in his heart, in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the nobles looked down on the commoners, and the Xianbei people looked down on the Han people, and all the kindness to the people in their eyes was only to achieve their own goals. Death, the people suffer".

As a modern person from the 21st century, Gao Yang did not feel the profound hierarchical concept between ancient levels and nationalities, although he did not think that Gao Huan's point of view was right, but this is the mainstream trend of this era, and he will not deny it with the ideas of the 21st century.

After a pause, Gao Yang had no choice but to respectfully agree: "The child remembers, thank you for your father's teaching." ”

Seeing that the second son recognized his words, Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction, then slowly walked to the side of the marching map, pointed to it and said, "What do you think about this battle?" How can I get in? ”

Gao Yang was stunned when he heard this, in his impression, Gao Huan had never talked to him about military affairs, but only said similar things to his eldest brother Gao Cheng, he didn't know why his nominal father, the first minister of power in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, suddenly asked him these questions.

Gao Yang cautiously replied: "My father, the child has no other ideas for the time being, I believe that the father and the Metropolitan Governor Duan and the Metropolitan Governor of Yelu already have a better military strategy, and the child is responsible for the implementation." ”

"Hmph, my Gao Huan's son can't just be responsible for implementation, but also think more, especially on strategic issues, otherwise what's the difference between a reckless man."

"Why, Hou Niyu, this is not like the "quick knife to cut the mess" you when you were a child, you can boldly say anything about it, and you will not be blamed for being a father if you are wrong. ”

Gao Yang sorted out his thoughts, since his father said so, if he didn't say something about himself, it would only make his father unhappy, and that would definitely not help his career.

He remembered that Gao Huan died of illness shortly after the end of the Battle of Yubi, if he didn't take advantage of this time to perform well and strive for some political resources, then he would never have a chance again, you must know that the eldest brother Gao Cheng is currently eyeing him.

"Father, please forgive the child's words, as far as the current situation is concerned, our Eastern Wei army has no possibility of winning for the time being, what we have to do is to withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to be surrounded by the Yuwen thief army (the statements about the Eastern Wei and Western Wei are defined by later historians in order to distinguish them, and at that time the enemy was called the rebel thief, Yuwen thief, and high thief) counterattack and encirclement."

When Gao Huan heard the words of the second son, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't get angry immediately: "Hmph, my Great Wei Legion is full of talents in both the army, the warriors are like clouds, and the human, financial and material resources are far stronger than the Yuwentai puppet army, how can a small jade wall not be broken, if you don't say the reason today, my father will not forgive you." ”

Gao Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, it seems that he really provoked the thorn in his father's heart, otherwise he just promised that no matter what he said, he would not blame himself, how could he turn his face quickly.

But Gao Yang was not deterred by this harsh words, and continued to explain gently: "Father, there are clouds in "The Art of War": one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. ”

"What is the Tao? The Taoist, so that the people and the upper agree also, so can (to) die, can (to) live with it, and not (fear of danger) [treacherous], according to my Great Wei and Yuwen thief, there is no famous, after all, in the eyes of the world, Emperor Yuan Xiu is more appealing than Emperor Yuan Shanjian in the eyes of the world, especially in the eyes of Xianbei people. ”

"What is heaven? The heavens, yin and yang, cold and heat, and the time system. At this time, it was the autumn harvest, and taking the people's strength to defeat the enemy was not good for our agricultural time, and the northern boundary was cold, which was not good for our army to keep warm. ”

"What is the earth? The earth, far and near, dangerous, wide and narrow, dead and alive. The enemy army defends the city, has to defend the city, and the jade wall is Xiongguan, and because the city is frozen with cold, it is slippery with freezing, which is not conducive to our army's siege. ”

"What is a general? Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness. Although there are few Yuwen thieves, but the courage of the army is not inferior to my Great Wei, the Kansai Iron Cavalry is as famous as my Liufang Iron Cavalry, the only advantage of our army is that there are many people, but the determination and faith are inferior to the Yuwen thieves. ”

"What is the law? The law has law, criminal law, military law, etc., here the main military system, Yuwen thief army mainly pushes the government military system, the structure comes from the Kansai Han and Xianbei people, the number is similar, the interests are the same, and our Wei army is more inclined to the mercenary system, the army fights for wealth, there is wealth for the drive, no wealth is to refuse to fight, lack of war, more terrifying is the lack of faith, lack of loyalty, long-term is a big drawback. ”

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at his father Gao Huan cautiously.

I saw Gao Huan staring at him coldly, and he was not angry, and after seeing Gao Yang finish speaking, he said quietly: "Hu Niyu, did you come up with it yourself or did someone tell you?" ”

Gao Yang looked nervous, and saluted respectfully: "Father, the child just studied the "Art of War", and then combined theory and practice, and then realized a little opinion, which is not necessarily correct, and I hope that my father will bear with me." ”

After hearing this, Gao Huan "snorted": "A good combination of theory and practice, there are countless battles that have been experienced by the prime minister, don't you know these truths." As far as you know, you know these things, but doesn't the Father know it? You think you're smart, but you're young, and you're on your first expedition, it's rare to have this opinion, remember, you can only understand this remark, and you must not pass it on to your subordinates, do you know? ”

"The father can rest assured, and the child knows the importance of the overall situation."

After seeing that his second son understood, Gao Huan said "um", no longer had the previous sense of seriousness, and said in a gentle tone: "Go down and have a good rest, my Great Wei Army must overcome this pass no matter what, destroy Yuwentai in one fell swoop, and you will also participate in the relevant military meetings in the future." ”

Gao Yang sighed in his heart, he didn't understand why his father was so resolute, he didn't believe that Gao Huan would not know the truth, but he didn't dare to continue to disobey his father, so he had to salute respectfully, and finally slowly walked out of the main tent.

After he withdrew, Gao Huan sighed softly, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect Hou Niyu to have such an opinion, even more than Zihui (Gao Cheng) talent, the old man's time is short, and I don't know if I am doing this correctly, I hope that the Buddha will bless the brothers to live in harmony and build the prosperity of my Gao family." ”
