Chapter 7 Sand Table Deduction
Walking into the front hall and coming to the sand table, before Wang Ke had time to introduce, the three old killers had already fallen on the sand table and began to compare. What is this place, what kind of mountain is this mountain, and where is the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Ke saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he withdrew. Wang Si took this opportunity to introduce these young people to Wang Ke.
It turned out that these three young people were the children and grandchildren of the three old killers, the tallest and strongest, but the most common among the three was Cheng Zhijie's son Cheng Huailiang, who was also the concubine of the current emperor's daughter, Princess Qinghe; is the same age as himself, the figure is about the same as the average height, Wang Ke thinks that he is as handsome as himself is Li Jing's son Li Hui; And the youngest is Li Ji's grandson Li Jingye.
Several people are the same age, and they have become acquainted after a while, and they talk non-stop together. It feels like they've never been together, and they've never been separated.
A few people were talking lively, only to hear Cheng Zhijie shouting there: "A few little rabbit cubs, are you asking you to come with you to make a fool of yourself around?" Why don't you roll over and take a look. Frightened, a few people lost their voices and hurriedly surrounded them.
Wang Si saw that several people were looking at the sand table and did not move, so he knew that this group of people would not leave for a while, so he took the opportunity to say: "I, a civil official, can't say anything about military things, you watch first, I will go and order my subordinates to prepare wine and food." With that, he arched his hand and turned away.
Wang Ke stepped forward and stood next to Li Jing, Li Jing turned his head to look at him, and said approvingly: "Wang Xian's nephew is indeed very useful for marching and fighting, I don't know how Xian's nephew remembered to do this?" ”
Wang Ke was proud in his heart, but he said with a serious look on his face: "The humble did not dare to forget the country, born as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, it is the duty of a person to be able to share the worries of the saint and contribute to the country." When I was in the Far West, I had seen this thing, and it was very useful for military and other purposes, so when I came back, I heard my father mention that he was going to war with the Turks, and I first thought of making this for the generals' reference. ”
Li Ji nodded and stroked his beard lightly with his hand and said: "What a humble person who doesn't dare to forget the country, if only everyone in my Tang Dynasty thought like this." Virtuous nephew, do you have any thoughts about this war with the Turks, speak up and listen. ”
Wang Ke knew how this battle was fought from the history books, but he still pretended to be frightened and said: "The little nephew is not a martial artist, so he dares to get an axe in front of a few people, or listen to the teachings of a few uncles on the side." ”
Li Jing heard Wang Ke say this, looked at him and didn't say anything, Cheng Zhijie was unhappy: "If you say it, you can say it, this is not in the court, let alone let you lead troops to fight, what does it matter if you say something wrong?" We'll laugh at you for not being a hairy kid. ”
Li Ji also nodded and said, "Say it, it's just these few people, it's okay." ”
Wang Ke recalled the plot described in the history books, and then organized the language a little and said: "The little nephew thinks that our army should be divided into three ways to attack, and the left and right sides should advance with two wings together, but for the time being, they will not engage the enemy, of course, they can also be destroyed if there are sporadic squads, and the principle is not to affect the speed of the march." The army of the middle route set out from Mayi, and at night it attacked Dingxiang directly, pointing directly at the tooth tent of Jieli Khan. When our army captures Dingxiang, Jieli Khan will definitely move his tooth tent to the north of Yinshan, and at this time, our army will be able to annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop by attacking it in three ways. I wonder what the uncles have to say about the little nephew's thoughts? I hope that a few uncles will teach me more. ”
Li Jing didn't answer and continued to ask: "How much does the virtuous nephew think this time should be used to send troops?" Who will lead the troops? ”
"The little nephew thinks that there are not many soldiers in the grassland war, and the speed is required, and the three-way army has more than 100,000 people, as for the person who leads the troops, it is all up to the court dispatch and the saint's decision. The little nephew didn't dare to say anything. Wang Ke knew that Li Shimin had sent Li Jing, Li Ji and Chai Shao to lead the troops in history, but he didn't dare to say it here, so he had to be sloppy.
After listening to Wang Ke's response, Li Jing and the three of them looked at the sand table together, their fingers kept moving on the map, and occasionally stopped to discuss a few words, analyze the pros and cons and continue to demonstrate.
Wang Ke saw that he had finished speaking, so he turned around and chatted with Cheng Huailiang and the others: "Where is Brother Cheng playing recently?" My brother just came back, my father let me rest at home, and I haven't had time to go out to play, so when Brother Cheng and Brother Li are free, it's better to take my little brother out for a walk? ”
Cheng Huailiang and Li Hui looked at each other and grinned and said, "This is no problem, it's just that Brother Wang is dressed like this, I'm afraid that others won't look like it when they go out." ”
Wang Ke looked down at himself, still wearing the T-shirt, trousers and leather shoes he wore in the future before the crossing, and he still had a watch in his hand, so he had to say stupidly: "I have no choice, I haven't made clothes when I come back." My clothes are all like this, so let's leave it at that, and when you go out to play, just call me. ”
Li Hui smiled: "Okay, that's it." It doesn't matter if they see the costumes of the Far West, I think it's good. ”
When a few young people were happy, Li Ji turned around and said: "Wang Xian's nephew has also learned the art of war very well, we will be in the court tomorrow, let the saint decide, I think it should be feasible." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Si happened to come out and say that the wine and food had been arranged, and he invited a few people to come over. Several people walked over together and had a good meal before they dispersed.
After sending away a few old killers, Wang Ke was about to retire with Wang Si and go to sleep, but Wang Si stopped him and came to the study to sit down. In recent years, the imperial court has used soldiers every year, and soldiers can indeed fight, although his father is a civilian official, he also came down from the battlefield at the beginning of the founding of the country, and he understands some wars to some extent, and Ke'er's countermeasures can be regarded as comprehensive. I don't know what Ke'er plans to do in the future, but do you want to become an official? If you think so, being a father can still help. ”
When Wang Ke heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Father must not, my dynasty has always had a rule that family members are not allowed to be officials in Beijing together, not to mention that the child has not planned to be an official, even if there is really such an opportunity, my father cannot come forward to speak, in case the court and China criticize." If the Holy One really has this idea, he has to wait for others to say it. The child's ability is only able to move his tongue, and if he really moves, he is afraid that it is still far away. The child should be a fool. Besides, the child has come back these days and feels like there are a lot of things to do, but I haven't had time to do it yet. It's not too late to talk about it when the child has done all this. If there is really a matter of letting the child enter the court as an official, I hope that the father will shirk the child for him. I know very well how much ability the child has, and if he enters the court now, he will definitely lose more than he gains. As the saying goes: if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; The purlins that come out rot first. Before the children of other ministers come out, I'd better not touch this mold. Fathers don't fail to help their children. ”
Wang Ke said that Wang Si nodded again and again, and said with a sigh: "It's because my father is in a hurry, but Ke'er thinks it through." Let's not talk about this matter for now, Ke'er will accompany your mother at home first, and have more contact with the children of the ministers of the DPRK and China, so that after getting acquainted with it, you will be able to gain a better foothold in the DPRK and China in the future. With the power of a child, he will definitely be able to do it without the guidance of his father. ”
Wang Ke knew the meaning of Wang Si's words, after all, Wang Si was a subordinate of the former prince Li Jiancheng, and after Li Shimin seized the throne, he was promoted and appointed regardless of his previous suspicions, although he was trusted by Li Shimin, but he was still not in harmony with some of the original Qin royal family, so he was still a little cramped in the court. Seeing Wang Ke behaving like this today, I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart.
Wang Ke couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "It seems that gangs have existed since ancient times, and they are not the patent of modern people." ”
