When he turned to the second book of soldiers, Wan Changning's eyes suddenly lit up, and after coughing lightly twice, he began to read:

“…… Got it. Ding Shuo, a native of Heishi Village, Zhongshan Road, Youbei. This person has been in the army since childhood, and he is in his thirties this year. At the height of his official fortune, he served as a deputy general in the Taibai Forbidden Army. However, this man has a strange temper, has no officials, does not obey orders, and is cowardly in the face of the enemy......"

When Wan Changning read this, his voice became smaller and quieter, and finally he completely put down the book of soldiers and did not say a word; Yan Qinghong understood the embarrassment in his heart, so he smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Alright, don't read it anymore. Did you hear that? I don't know what kind of goods these military officers are, and even their housekeeping skills can be made full of loopholes by them. Since this Ding Shuo has the courage to disobey military law and disrespect officials, how can he be cowardly in the face of the enemy? ”

After finishing speaking, he personally stepped forward and comforted Wan Changning, whose cheeks were hot:

"It's not a big deal, it's not about you, and you don't have to blame yourself. As the so-called clear water is clear, there are no fish, such small things like flies and dogs, no matter how hard you and my monarchs and ministers try, they can't completely eradicate it. But in this case, I would like to meet this bad-tempered little grain officer for a while. “

There is never a shortage of talented people in this world, but in the end, only a small part of the geniuses are fortunate enough to be displayed. Because the more outstanding the genius, the more obvious the flaws in personality and temperament. Although each of them has different temperaments, they all have one thing in common:

Stubborn!

Only those who are as stubborn as a donkey will accomplish those feats that the world considers to be fantastical; Only the stubborn temper that the eight fierce horses couldn't pull back could break through the tightly blocked south wall.

But a man of such a temper may be able to blend into an eccentric craftsman who does not worry about eating and drinking, by virtue of his exquisite skill and unique craftsmanship; But if these geniuses are placed in the living environment of ordinary people, then the ending is often not very good.

stubbornness is often accompanied by stubbornness, extremism, closed-mindedness and other problems; Otherwise, they won't do stupid things that they know they can't do. Otherwise, they will not refresh the inherent cognition of human beings again and again; Otherwise, they would not have been misunderstood and ostracized by stupid mortals......

And Ding Shuo, the grain official who is about to enter the palace and face the saint, is one of these geniuses, and he also has the same thinking and temper. He is not a martial arts master, nor is he a battlefield general; Even among the Taibai Janissaries, they only barely meet the standards of the first echelon. Although such a person is not ordinary, it has nothing to do with the four words outstanding.

So his inconspicuous genius has always been buried in the crowd; It wasn't until there was danger in a long-distance escort mission that the unparalleled tactical talent of this stubborn donkey came into Li Zilin's field of vision.

Ding Shuo is not tall, and his appearance is extremely ordinary, except for a pair of raised eyes and thick eyebrows, there is nothing eye-catching at all. Such a person, in the eyes of Yan Qinghong and Wan Changning Junchen, obviously will not get too high an impression score.

"Ding Shuo, I heard about you...... Uh......"

Yan Qinghong looked at Ding Shuo, who was kneeling in front of him, and he had just made a start, and he felt that he really couldn't make it up. He kept dragging a long tail note and glanced at Wan Changning, who was in a wheelchair, with his eyes.

"Ahem! Ding Shuo, according to the official copy sent by the Ministry of War, the day before yesterday, you beat the official for no reason and violated military discipline, so you were demoted from a grain supervisor to a warehouse guard, right? This beating of Shangguan is the sixth time in your more than ten years in the army. After His Majesty learned of this, he was afraid that there would be filthy military discipline and factions in the army, so he summoned you to the palace to inquire about the secrets. As for you, you don't need to be nervous, everything is back to you. ”

The current Ding Shuo is just a granary patrol; There is a huge gap between it and the minimum standard for entering the pilgrimage, the four-rank master, which is not visible at a glance. So when he was summoned to the palace for an audience, he was already full of question marks; Now that he is kneeling in the East Warm Pavilion, after hearing Wanxiang's inquiry with his own ears, he has the illusion of being in his sleep.

He did have an argument with his boss a few days ago, and with the fists and feet he had practiced from the Taibai Guards, he cleaned up the fat grain officer. However, who would have imagined that such trivial matters would be worthy of His Majesty and the Prime Minister personally?

"Back to Your Majesty and Prime Minister, you can't blame the Lord Supervisor for this matter, and the villain is also ...... Also ......"

has just made a start, and Ding Shuo can't talk anymore at all. So why did he have a dispute with his superiors? It is a very small matter, it is nothing more than that the grain supervisor exchanges the old grain for the new grain in the warehouse, and the silver sold is less than two taels of Ding Shuo.

He felt angry at the time, but now that he thinks about it, even he is embarrassed to refute it.

And Yan Qinghong, who had already known about this, looked at Ding Shuo, who was drenched in cold sweat and spitting, and his heart blossomed.

"Ahem, you beat the official, but you were also demoted and fined, and the matter can be regarded as settled, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you anymore. But I've already summoned you to the palace today, so I can't just send you out again, can I? In this way, I will ask you a question, and if your answer can satisfy me, then how much I will reward you with something, and let this fate between our monarchs and ministers have a result, what do you think? Well...... Since you're an old soldier, let's talk about the war! ”

After relieving Ding Shuo's nervousness, Yan Qinghong stepped forward in person, dragged Ding Shuo in cold sweat, and dragged him to the front of the "Map of the Northern Universe":

"Look, this is the border between Zhongshan Road and Mobei Grassland. My question is, if one day the Mobei cavalry marches south, and I order you to be in charge of defending the entire Zhongshan Road against the enemy, what will you do? ”

Ever since Ding Shuo saw this extremely detailed "The Complete Map of the Northern Universe", his eyes could no longer be separated. With emotion in his mouth, he lowered his body; Carefully covering his mouth and nose, he carefully observed the mountains and rivers on the three roads in the north, with grass and trees.

After waiting for a while, Wan Changning deliberately coughed twice, waking up Ding Shuo, who was full of intoxication. And Ding Shuo also felt out of shape, and hurriedly turned around to confess to Qinghong, and then said his answer:

"Returning to Your Majesty and Prime Minister, the so-called impermanence of soldiers and impermanence of water must not be based on the map and speculation. Although this picture is detailed and extraordinary, the mountains and rivers seem to be vivid; However, when the two armies are in contention, there are still countless variables that can determine victory or defeat. At present, if you lead the army to meet the enemy, you will open the border and let the enemy's iron cavalry enter in a big way; Before that, the northern border of Zhongshan, which borders Mobei, was vacated in advance, and a large amount of forage and cloth, a small amount of grain and ordnance were hoarded in the center of the northern border in Buyeo City, artificially creating the illusion that our army was about to collapse at the touch of a button and fleeing in a hurry, and lured the enemy army into the city to plunder materials or station on the spot. ”

After Yan Qinghong heard his battle strategy, he immediately frowned; After observing the location marked on the map and combining with the distribution of his own troops, he seemed to guess the tactical intention of Ding Shuo's move:

"You mean to make the enemy think that he has completely captured the northern border of Zhongshan Road; And induce the enemy to garrison the army in Fuyu City, and then the Dongyou Qi Yuan army stationed on the bank of the mixed river will outflank and cut off the enemy's retreat, and come to a move to invite the king into the urn? Ding Shuo, Ding Shuo, if the enemy army is not satisfied with the result of Fuyu City, but instead swings his army south, then the Zhongshan Road, which has no danger to defend, will be in danger! Could it be that you want to take the foot soldiers of the Zhongshan Governor's Mansion Army to meet the fast horse scimitar of the Mobei people with your chest and neck on the flat and open terrain? ”

When Yan Qinghong said this, he wanted to blast Ding Shuo out of the palace. His plan, though a little more secure than he had originally envisioned, was not anything out of the ordinary; If you do this way, even if you can win the final victory of this battle, you will still pay a very heavy price.

But after Ding Shuo listened to Yan Qinghong's analysis, he rolled his eyes and handed Emperor Xingping a big white eye:

"This idea is simply stupid! Buyeo City is not only a solid city defense, but also surrounded by water on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to achieve. No matter who the commander of the Mobei people is, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this! Those cavalry were not scarecrows, and the horses needed water. Moreover, the people of Mobei have suffered from natural disasters since ancient times, and they will face the crisis of food shortage every year, and they are not willing to give up the strategic springboard of Buyeo City! We don't need grasslands, but they want fertile, vast arable land more than anyone else! ”

Ding Shuo, who forgot the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and his eyes flashed with fanaticism, pointed to the location of Buyeo City on the map and continued to speak:

"According to my inference, when the vanguard of the enemy army finds that the defense of Zhongshan Road is extremely weak and the gains along the way are considerable, they will definitely send a big man who is eager to make a name for himself and seize the throne to lead the army south, and personally capture the great battle exploits of capturing the important town in the north. Then, as soon as this big man entered the city, I immediately led the army to surround Buyeo City. At this point, the situation of encircling the point to help has been completed, and there is no possibility of survival for this big fish that bites the hook. ”

After Yan Qinghong listened to his overall concept, his eyes also lit up; He ignored the disrespect in Ding Shuo's words and once again threw out a question:

"If Buyeo City just traps someone who doesn't matter, or doesn't qualify to be a bait at all, how will you deal with it?"

Ding Shuo let out a sneer when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a frontline town named Taining in the north of Zhongshan Road and said:

"This front-line town that has been handed over to others is a shadow that I arranged in advance! Specifically to curb the other party's possible choice of the strong man's wrist breaking move! ”
