Just when Wenyuan Pavilion was preparing for a new meeting, Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince in the East Palace, was using the sand table to deduce the war. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Houzhao grew up in the palace since he was a child, he has no brothers and sisters, and he has no juvenile playmates, even if there are eunuchs of the same age, they are only slaves and can't make friends, so he seems bored.

Now that Zhu Houzhao is not very old, even if Zhu Youzhi has great expectations for his son, he will not tell him too many things, and his daily tasks are to eat, study, play and sleep.

After entering adolescence, Zhu Houzhao hopes to express himself and gain more people's recognition, which is due to the nature of teenagers, but it is a pity that Mr. will not pay attention to the cultivation of young people's healthy psychology and personality, let alone multi-pronged guidance for children's negative emotions, so that Zhu Houzhao's demands are not met many times, and the dissatisfaction in his heart accumulates more and more.

Gradually, this dissatisfaction evolved into a rebellious mentality, Zhu Houzhao began to go against the people around him, and even did not listen to the words of his father and mother, and the only person he admired was Shen Xi.

The sand table used for wargame deduction this time is one of the "toys" prepared by Shen Xi for bear children.

When Shen Xi was in Guangdong, in order to maintain a close relationship with the prince, he not only prepared martial arts novels and fun shadow puppet plays for the prince, but also carefully designed some "toys" that fit Zhu Houzhao's character.

When it comes to understanding Zhu Houzhao, Shen Xi can be said to be more thorough than Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang, because Shen Xi has not only been with Zhu Houzhao for more than two years, but he is also familiar with what kind of person Zhu Houzhao is in history.

Zhu Houzhao is stubborn by nature, greedy for pleasure, advocating being a hero in the limelight, acting unconventionally, very adventurous, talking nonsense, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even if you add the previous dynasties, no one can surpass this. Because Emperor Hongzhi was such a son, Zhu Houzhao lacked a sense of crisis since he was a child, and his parents never gave him correct guidance, so Zhu Houzhao went further and further on the road of rebellion.

Shen Xi knew Zhu Houzhao's character, so he consciously wrote martial arts novels to him, and subtly, instilled in Zhu Houzhao the idea of "the great man of chivalry for the country and the people", and at the same time, according to Zhu Houzhao's temperament of liking to be in the limelight, he told him about some historical wars, taught him some tactics of war, and let Zhu Houzhao think about whether if he was put into history, whether he could achieve the merits of Wei Qinghuo, Li Jing and others.

Zhu Houzhao would study hard every time, so when Emperor Hongzhi was randomly inspected, he suddenly found that his son actually knew the art of war, and he was surprised and happy, which was another important reason for transferring Shen Xi back to the capital from the southeast.

Shen Xi specially prepared the design drawings of the sand table for Zhu Houzhao.

The design drawings of these sand tables are compiled by Shen Xi according to actual combat, and there are substitutes for each grass, tree, river, ancient well, and road, and at the same time, in the supporting books, the hydrology, geography, mountain and river directions, and the arrangement and mobilization of soldiers and horses of famous wars in history are clearly arranged.

Zhu Houzhao was bored in the East Palace for a long time, and finally found the design drawings provided by Shen Xi from the bottom of the box, and asked the eunuch to draw Lu Lu to make the sand table according to the curiosity, and he was surprised to find that the "villains" in the sand table, or the phalanx composed of villains, plus the terrain locations such as cities, mountains, rivers, and sand dunes, are a real world.

The war that took place on the paper immediately became three-dimensional and intuitive through the sand table, and Zhu Houzhao went from the curiosity when he first arranged the troops according to the military book to the joy of randomly mobilizing the soldiers and horses as if he were on the battlefield, and he indulged in it and couldn't extricate himself for a while.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not too early, it's time for you to eat!" Zhang Yuan stood next to him, looking at Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and he didn't know what was interesting about this thing made of dirt.

A bear child, facing something like a tangram spliced together, fiddles there all day long, and holds a book in his hand at any time, the book is painted with some patterns, every time Zhu Houzhao will follow the content of the book, first put the terrain in place, and then inlay the grass, trees, rivers and cities in it, and then arrange the soldiers and horses according to the description in the book.

What is recorded in the book is Shen Xi's carefully designed different attack and defense formations, many battles have really happened in history, Shen Xi can't teach Xiong Zi to fight, so he can only start with "talking on paper".

Shen Xi's paper talk is different from those nerds in this era who speculate out of thin air, and have a clear understanding of the random changes on the battlefield, and let Zhu Houzhao make a choice through logical reasoning.

For example, whether to attack or defend, whether to pursue or continue to hold when the enemy withdraws, behind each strategy, Shen Xi will make different assumptions, just like logical thinking questions, so that Zhu Houzhao is immersed in this kind of brain game where there are multiple choices every time, and each choice will have different results.

If you make a mistake, you will only lose some of your soldiers and horses at first, or you will be in trouble in some aspect of the battlefield, but with the loss of soldiers and horses in your hand too large, Shen Xi will follow the timeline and let the virtual opponent launch a "general attack".

Zhu Houzhao was originally immersed in martial arts novels, and he didn't notice that there was such a fun thing, but when he found out, he played it with relish, and even more invested than reading martial arts novels before, and even wrote and drew on paper during the day, calculating how many soldiers and horses he could keep in each battlefield situation, and what kind of offensive and defensive choices he made was correct.

Zhang Yuan originally asked Zhu Houzhao to eat, but when he found that Zhu Houzhao was studying the military book against the sand table, so that the whole person was in a daze, he felt incredible and thought:

"This is what Shen Xi prepared for him again...... Why does my nephew, every time he takes out a gadget, make the prince so addicted? Is the toy designed by Shen Xi so attractive? ”

"I see!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited, stood up, and continued to demonstrate his thoughts on the sand table.

Zhang Yuan took a closer look at the sand table, but still didn't understand what was being demonstrated.

However, Zhang Yuan knew how to pat himself very well, so he hurriedly complimented: "Your Highness's choice must be right." ”

"What do you know? This is the latest discovery of this palace, and it turns out that this battle is the original battle of Tumu Fort! Zhu Houzhao glanced at the map in the book, waved his little fist excitedly, his little face was flushed, and he looked radiant.

Zhang Yuan was confused when he heard it, what was the battle of Tumu Fort, he didn't understand what it had to do with the sand in front of him, but he had heard one thing recently, the place where Shen Xi was leading the troops to be stationed at this time was Tumu Fort, and he was under siege, and he had almost no chance to escape.

Because the whole court was discussing, and even the eunuchs in the palace had different opinions, Zhang Yuan heard a lot of secrets, and he told Zhu Houzhao all the news he had heard.
