On the second day of October in the first year of Xianxiang, almost a quarter and a half is already the hour, the sky is still dead and dark, the whole Lanzhou city is immersed in sleep, ten thousand sounds are silent, only the martial arts field in the west of the city is an exception, not only the torches in the camp, but even the empty field of the center is also lit up a bunch of not small bonfires, the huge martial arts arena shines brightly, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Xiangao, who is wearing a golden chain mail, sits on the big handsome seat, stares at the night sky outside the tent with a solemn face, silently waiting for the arrival of the hour.

"Your Highness, the hour is approaching, please make it clear to Your Highness!"

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a pillar of incense left before the point of Mao, and the heavily armored Chinese officer Ling Dacheng strode in from outside the tent, bowed to Li Xian, and said in a loud voice.

"Beat drums and burn incense, those who are outdated will not be killed!"

Hearing the sound, Li Xian withdrew his gaze, glanced at Ling Zhong coldly, waved his hand, and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes, the last general will take the order!"

Ling Chong responded to the promise, turned around, and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and suddenly, the rumbling war drums roared, and the passionate drums broke the silence before dawn, and the evil spirit rippled in all directions in this burst of drums, and a team of armor soldiers or galloped on foot or on horseback, and gathered along the long street to the martial arts arena from all directions, and most of the Lanzhou city was noisy, the drums did not stop, and more than 30 generals had rushed to the outside of the military tent with their own guards.

"Your Highness, the hour has come, it should be thirty-three, but it is thirty-three, please give instructions to Your Highness!"

As soon as the drums stopped, Ling Chong had already strode into the big tent of the Chinese army, bowed down, and reported solemnly.

"Raise the account!"

Li Xian nodded this time, originally thinking that if there was an unpunctual person, he would definitely use it as a model for the chicken, but obviously a bunch of old military sticks were very slippery, and no one was willing to volunteer to hit the muzzle of the gun, and this calculation naturally fell into the void, but it didn't matter if Li Xian was okay, as long as the generals could be obedient and obedient, seeing that the generals had arrived, Li Xian was unwilling to delay more, so he waved his hand and gave the order concisely.

"Upgrade, Upgrade......"

In the shouts and cheers of the guards, a group of generals passed through the two columns of honor guards lined up by the guards of the Zhou Palace, and marched into the Chinese army's tent in an orderly manner.

"The last general will wait to see His Royal Highness King Zhou!"

Although a group of old military sticks are not convinced that Li Xian is above themselves, they are impeccable in etiquette, and the expressions on their faces can be as respectful as they are, as for what thoughts are turning in their hearts, only the old man knows.

"Excuse me!"

Li Xian glanced at the generals expressionlessly, raised his hand in a vain, and a word popped out in a flat tone.

"Your Highness!"

The generals thanked them according to the rules, and each stood in two columns according to their official rank and seniority, and stood without squinting, but no one opened their mouths to ask Li Xian what the purpose of this order was, and it was clear that they were to fight against Li Xian's strength with a silent and uncooperative attitude.

Play silence, right? Cheng, you will continue to play, but we want to see how long you can be silent! Li Xianduo's shrewd personality only glanced at the generals, and he had already seen through everyone's plans, but he didn't reveal them, but he secretly sneered in his heart, raised his hand, raised his voice and shouted: "Lift it up!" ”

"No!"

As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, the sound of the guards outside the big tent had already been heard, and then several sturdy guards walked in from outside the big tent carrying a wide box covered with a scarf, as soon as this thing appeared, it instantly attracted the attention of the generals, although no one asked questions, but all of them showed a suspicious look on their faces, and they couldn't understand what trick Li Xian was playing.

"Hmm."

Li Xian waved his hand to the guards, and said softly, and the guards willingly lifted the scarves on the box, and then withdrew from the tent one after another.

"Hey, what the hell is this, a rockery?"

"It's not like it, it's like a bonsai."

"It's not right, how can there be such a big bonsai, how can this thing look so familiar."

……

As soon as the scarf was lifted, the things below revealed the true face of Lushan, which was a huge sand table, in which mountains, rivers, and lakes were all available, although it was limited to the integrity of the data, and there were still differences with the actual situation, but in general, it was already a scale of the terrain and landforms in Hexi, Qinghai and even Anxi, and the generals who originally planned to play silence saw that Li Xian actually moved out such a strange-looking big guy at this time, and they all whispered curiously, and the silent strategy could no longer be played.

How? Not silent anymore? Hah, let's get started! Seeing the generals talking one after another, although Li Xian's face was still solemn, he was secretly proud in his heart, but he did not rush to pay attention to the nonsense of the generals, but waited until the voice of the discussion became smaller, and then coughed lightly and said: "Zhugong, this thing is a sand table, that is, the actual terrain is specific and subtle, Zhugong may wish to confirm whether the surrounding landforms seen in the past are the same as the sand table?" “

"Like, indeed like, isn't this the River Valley?"

"Interesting, it's really a god, this must be the Lanzhou City where we are, ha, interesting!"

"Well, this is Shanzhou, these two places are Fuluochuan and Fuqi City, there is no doubt that it is wonderful, it is really wonderful!"

……

A group of generals are long-term military veterans, every time, since the first to investigate the terrain and landforms, and then a comparison of the map, since the environment is quite knowledgeable, at this time compared to the sand table carefully deduced, since the sudden realization, have spoken out of praise, is even the three generals who have always been stiff-faced are also frequently bowed.

"Your Highness, this thing is not trivial, if you can have such a thing in your hands when you are marching and fighting, you can know yourself and your opponent, and you are invincible, I really don't know who has such an ingenious idea to build this thing." Although he was dissatisfied with Li Xian's superiority over himself, it did not affect his appreciation of the use of the sand table.

Who? In addition to Li Xian, this thing is afraid that no second person can make it up today - a small pair of sand tables looks simple, it seems that a random pile can be formed, in fact, otherwise, if you don't understand the principle of contour lines, if you don't know geometric algebra, all you can do is just a pile of garbage, and it can't be used at all, just now this sand table is the result of Li Xian's stay up for most of the night last night, on the surface, it doesn't take much time, in fact, in order to be as accurate as possible, not to mention the huge manpower and material resources consumed to collect information, that is, Li Xian himself didn't know how much time he spent in the palace to prefabricate and deduce, which is why he has the current scale, and the hardships and painstaking efforts are really not enough for outsiders.

"So that the old general will know that although this thing was created by Xiao Wang, it was not created by Xiao Wang, but it was actually caused by the late Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng and Mr. Li's life's work. It is impossible for Li Xianzi to explain the mathematics, physics and chemistry in his previous life, so he can only push all the reasons on Li Chunfeng's head, and the dead people will not jump out to defend themselves.

"The strange people of the old generation of Li are really masters, and there are such posthumous works, which is really impressive!"

Gao Wei had been instructed by Li Chunfeng when he was in the court, and he knew very well about his ability, and this listening sand table was Li Chunfeng's invention, so he was immediately relieved, and echoed with emotion.

"A man of God, a man of God!" Li Jinxing entered the court a little late, and he has never seen Li Chunfeng and his person, but he has not heard much about ***, and he also knows that Li Chunfeng is a capable person, at this time the two colleagues are full of praise for Li Chunfeng, he is not far behind, and he grinned and sang along with him.

"Since all the princes think it is good, then the plan of this war will be done according to this sand table." Li Xian saw that the heat was almost the same, and he didn't want to talk about it any more, so he got up, slowly stepped down from the handsome position, and Shi Shiran came to the sand table, and proposed casually.

“……”

As soon as they heard Li Xian mention the war, a group of generals immediately closed their mouths, exchanging flickering glances with each other, and no one refused to express their attitude on this matter, and the atmosphere in the big tent became strange for a while.

How? Do you want to recycle at this point? There are no doors! Seeing that the generals wanted to retreat, Li Xianzi refused to give up, and ignored the eyebrows of the generals at all, pointed to the sand table with a smile, and analyzed by himself: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this small red flag is where all the departments and passes of our army are located, and there are four roads into Tuguhun, except for the Kunlun Pass, the Datong River Valley, the Shanzhou of the Hehuang Valley and the Osaka Valley are all in Hexi for a generation, and now it is a situation of confrontation between the enemy and me, the natural danger is shared, the enemy army is many and our army is outnumbered, In addition, our army is newly defeated, if the enemy takes advantage of the situation to attack, it will be difficult for our army to resist the enemy outside the Qilian Mountains, and it is even more worrying about recovering the four towns of Anxi. ”

“……”

Although the generals already agreed with Li Xian's analysis in their hearts, they all remained silent, and even deliberately did not look at the sand table, and stood expressionlessly one by one into a statue of wood carving clay.

"Very good, since all the princes have no objections, then the strategy of overcoming the enemy with Qi is settled, and there is a single strategy that can work wonders, that is, the lone relatives led a brigade of elite cavalry to attack the Datong River Valley, forcibly crossed the Datong River, and killed the enemy's hinterland, not seeking to attack the city and plunder the land, but to kill and injure the enemy's soldiers and civilians, in order to mobilize the thief army to encircle and suppress with all their might, if you can win several battles in a row, then the enemy army will be chaotic, and the princes can unite with the Anxi capital protector, the right guard of the foreign general Ashina Daozhen took advantage of the situation to recover the Anxi hometown, if this battle is won, the northwest should be appeased for several years, do you have any doubts about this?" The generals were silent and did not cooperate, but Li Xian pretended not to know, so when everyone had agreed on the overall strategy, he explained the specific implementation measures by himself, and he was at ease......
