Before Ma Yun could answer, Qian Qing ran over and said that the meal was ready.

So, Ma Yun and Cao Yun, Liao Renyong, Qian Qing, Shi Da and Cao Yun's son 6 sat at the same table. It is said to be a table, but in fact it is sitting on the ground. Although Ma Yungui is the fifth prince of Da Chu, his style has always been simple, he only brings some tableware when he goes out, and does not bring his own dining table.

Ma Yun raised his glass and said, "Brother Cao, for today's fate, we are destined to meet and drink this cup." ”

After three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually became acquainted, and Qian Qing asked: "Cao Daguan, your martial arts are really amazing, it's a pity not to enlist in the army." ”

Cao Yun looked at everyone and said slowly: "It's not a secret, I was originally begging for a living in the army, but... Speaking of this, Cao Yun let out a long sigh, seemingly helpless and unbearable, and there were tears hidden in his eyes.

Cao Yun continued: "I joined the army at the age of eighteen and followed Mingzong to conquer the world. A hundred years after Mingzong, Xiao Xiao was in charge. At that time, I was serving in Taiyuan, so I went to the country with the first emperor to raise troops. At that time, Taiyuan was weak, and the first emperor had no choice but to invite troops to the Khitan. Called the Khitan, it was forced by the situation, but the first emperor called the Khitan lord and rededicated the sixteen states of Yanyun. The more Cao Yun spoke, the more angry she became, and with a "snap", she actually pinched the wine glass in half.

"The Khitan has repeatedly violated China, killed and plundered our people, and did all kinds of evil. At that time, the situation forced it. After Dingding Central Plains, the first emperor still served the Khitan if his father, the Khitan was insatiable, and now he asked for gold silk, and he wanted to contribute, and his envoys were even more domineering, and the small officials of the five grades also called angels in vain, and actually let the first emperor open the palace door and descend to greet him. It's really unbearable. After ascending the throne today, the pro-villain and the far virtuous minister, the upper could not comfort the meritorious service, controlled the feudal town, and the life and death of the Li people, and when the Great Jin Dynasty fell apart, he actually listened to the words of Xiaoxiao and broke off diplomatic relations with the Khitan. Hey, Cao Yun was really disappointed, so she planned to move south. ”

After listening to Cao Yun's words, there was silence at the banquet, and everyone had a sense of resentment in their hearts. Especially Ma Yun, listening to Cao Yun's accusation against the Khitan and his disappointment with the imperial court, Ma Yun suddenly thought of the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the same poverty and weakness, the same warlord secession, the same foreign invasion, all the shame is written, and the people of China are suffering. For that moment, what Zhao Kuangyin and what Chai Rong were all left behind by him, and all he thought about was to expel the Khitan and restore my rivers and mountains.

The ideal seems to have been created, and the reality will continue. Ma Yun stabilized his mood and said: "Brother Cao, what are your plans after going to the south, do you want to vote for Tang or... ”

Cao Yun's son suddenly said: "The southern soldiers are weak, and my father and son just want to find a place to live, but they don't want to lead troops in the south." ”

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Little boy, how can you know that the southern soldiers are weak." ”

The kid glared at Ma Yun, and seemed to say: You kid is too cheeky, you are not much older than me, how can you call me "little boy", you are determined to be a generation higher than me.

I only heard him continue: "How did Lian Po die and die depressed, isn't this because the soldiers of the Chu State are too weak?" ”

Ma Yun couldn't help but be happy: Boy, you dare to talk to me about history, today I will let you know what it means to talk about the world and what it means to guide the country. Lao Tzu has been diving in the historical forum for so many years, but he is not diving in vain.

So, he said with a smile: "If the soldiers of the Chu State are weak, then how can Xiang Yu later rely on 8,000 disciples to defeat the tyrannical Qin, if the southern soldiers are weak, how can Chen Qingzhi of the Southern Dynasty defeat more than 100,000 Northern Wei soldiers with more than 10,000 soldiers." ”

The kid said unconvinced: "Then why do you say that Lian Po is unhappy when he arrives in the Chu Congress?" ”

"Because he's depressed!"

Cao Jialang pouted: That's not what I just said.

Ma Yun ignored him and continued: "But why is he depressed? Because after he arrived in the state of Chu, he lost the motivation to move forward, he saw the weak Chu soldiers, and he had no faith in training them into elite soldiers, he was always thinking about how he was back then, and did not think about what he should do now, so he was depressed, so he hesitated, he didn't know what his future was, he regretted it, he felt that he shouldn't come to the state of Chu, he resented King Zhao for listening to slander, and his old age was spent in this kind of days of regret and chagrin, and he could only end up depressed? ”

The kid was still unconvinced and said: "So in the past wars, why is it that the Northern Dynasty unifies the world, instead of the Southern Victory?" ”

Ma Yun said in his heart: Before the Tang Dynasty, there were historical reasons why the south could not win, and Lao Tzu naturally knew it, but I won't tell you, because it's too troublesome to say, and your ability to accept it may not be reached.

So Ma Yun quibbled: "Han Liu Bang didn't start from Shu in the south, and then dominate the world. Liu Yu, the lord of the Song Dynasty, has fought in the northern army many times, is it not the same as winning more and losing less, if he can live a few more years, he should be able to dominate the world? ”

Ma Yun looked at him for a little thought, and continued: "Life attitude determines people's achievements. When the two of them arrived in the south, as long as they were willing to train their troops, they still had a great future as generals who led the troops. ”

Seeing that Cao Yun also began to think, Ma Yun continued: "For generals, they all hope to become famous and win fame before and after their deaths." But fighting a war is not a simple matter, what does the little boy think is the victory of a war on? Is it just relying on soldiers? ”

The kid immediately said: "Of course, not only that, but also for the handsome to be smart and wise." ”

Ma Yun asked inspiringly: "What else?" ”

"There are also generals who are brave and not afraid of death, and kill more people." Qian Qing replied quickly.

Ma Yun felt a chill in his heart: it was really big enough, and he continued to ask: "What else?" ”

Liao Renyong thought for a while and replied: "For the general, it should be like what Sun Tzu said, benevolence, wisdom, faith, clarity, and courage." ”

Ma Yun drank a glass of wine, ate two bites of food, and said slowly: "What you just said can be summarized as a general, what should determine the outcome of a war at the level of generals, in addition to soldiers and generals?" After speaking, he looked at everyone, and said in his heart: Sample, they were all bluffed by Lao Tzu. Fight tigers, Lao Tzu can't do it; Flicker, you can't.

Cao Yun thought for a long time and said, "Little brother, this is another layer of what I say, the generals must gain the trust of the monarch. ”

Ma Yun put on a brother, you are right, I admire your expression, and said: "Brother Cao's words are a bit in place, but it should not be that the generals want to gain the trust of the monarch, but the monarch must understand the characteristics of his generals, and then fully trust them." ”

"Gu Zhile Yi conquered Qi and conquered more than 70 cities in Qi in February, but why did Qi not perish, but quickly regained the lost territory? Because, King Yan hesitated and doubted, and when there were only two cities left in the Qi Kingdom, he replaced the coach. Zhang Han of the Qin State, who defeated Chen Sheng and Wu Guang as prisoners of Lishan, can be described as a famous general at that time, but why was he defeated so quickly? There is Zhao Gao in the court, and the monarch can't be trusted; Ge Shuhan famous general, with a weak body to guard the Tong Pass, outside the pass An Lushan has been unable to conquer for a long time, the army is unstable, and when it is about to collapse, Xuanzong issued an edict to urge the army, and then the whole army was annihilated. ”

Cao Yun nodded and said, "The trust of the monarch is indeed very important. ”

Ma Yun continued to throw the bait and said: "In my opinion, there are five major factors that determine the victory of a war. ”

Sure enough, they immediately began to ponder again. Ma Yun just began to eat leisurely, he was talking at length just now, these people listened while eating, and now it was finally his turn to eat. Ma Yun smiled proudly in his heart: I don't know if these things are the crystallization of the collective wisdom of many people on the Internet. Think about it slowly, and you might be able to think about it in two hours.

"I see." The Cao family said excitedly, and looked at Ma Yun with eager eyes.

This guy, why don't you let me eat something good.
