Chapter 173 One Hundred and Twenty-Eight

Professor Ning Yan looked at the young man in front of him, then pointed to the map on the wall behind him and said, "Mark the march route of the battle to extinguish the Shang Kingdom on the map, starting with crossing the Yellow River." If it's a mistake, I won't tell you one more word today. ”

The boy nodded, grabbed his charcoal pencil and walked to the front of the wall with a torch to mark the route carefully.

Ning Yan used to be Luo Yao's staff and played an important role in the war to quell the Shang Kingdom. It's just that his ancestors have committed a big crime, and the first emperor decreed that he should never be hired as an official. So although he was highly meritorious, he didn't get much of what he deserved. Of course, the biggest gain is to get rid of slavery and become an ordinary person who can hold his head up again.

In the battle to extinguish the Shang Kingdom, Luo Yao's army has always rushed to the forefront. God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks **. The merchant army, which claimed to be one million, could not stop Luo Yao's left front guard. Many strategies come from Ning Yan's advice. Luo Yao admired him very much, and wrote three times to ask His Majesty to confer him a knighthood, but the emperor rejected them. The Great Sui advocated filial piety, and the emperor left his will, and the emperor naturally could not be easily overthrown.

But the emperor naturally had his way of rewarding, and the first emperor did not allow their descendants of the Ning family to be officials. The emperor transferred Ning Yan back from the left avant-garde and sent him to the Yanwu Academy. The professors of the Performing Arts Academy have no official ranks, let alone titles, but they are still respected.

Luo Yao was very reluctant to let Ning Yan leave at that time, but the holy will could not be violated. When he left Yongzhou, Luo Yao personally saw him off for thirty miles before saying goodbye.

When he arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, Ning Yan has always been the main lecturer on the art of war. His lectures were often attended by high-ranking generals in the military. Among them, there are many powerful people in the army such as the generals Xu Xiaogong and Yu Manlou, and Yu Manlou even ordered that the generals of the Zuowu Guards should go to the Yanwu Academy to listen to the lectures in their spare time. Of course, it was limited to Ning Yan's art of war course.

And now, this family has become Fang Jie's personal teacher, and every once in a while, he will quietly leave the Yanwu Academy and enter this secret prison located in the Ouchi Guard's Office to give a lecture to a prisoner.

At the beginning, Ning Yan was very dissatisfied. In his opinion, since he is a prisoner, he naturally has the treatment that a prisoner deserves, rather than a professor from the Labor Martial Arts Academy who came to give a lecture. But when he walked into the stone room, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that this special student turned out to be Fang Jie. He also knew that Fang Xie was practicing in the back mountain, but he didn't expect that this once-in-a-century genius of the Great Sui would become a prisoner.

After only one lesson, he was no longer resentful. This embarrassed-looking teenager does have a lot of talent.

There are many things that he can understand with just a little explanation. He can even derive many unbelievable but insightful things from what he said. For students who study in an eclectic way, Ning Yan likes it very much. He never felt that a student who could copy what Mr. taught was a good student.

"Mister"

Fang Xie said while marking: "At the beginning, the army was divided into four routes and drove to the southwest, one through Jiangling, one through Songzhou, one through Dongjun, and one through Lingnan...... However, the students felt that if the men and horses who went to Lingnan and then divided their troops all the way out to attack Luokoucang, the defense line arranged by the Shang army would be torn open, so that the vanguard army of the great general Luo Yao could penetrate through the torn hole and threaten Yongzhou. ”

Ning Yan didn't deny it, but said lightly: "Mark your thoughts as well." ”

Fang Xie nodded, and marked the route he thought was reasonable. After all the marks were made, he turned around and said respectfully, "Sir, the painting is finished." ”

"Do you know why you didn't divide your forces to attack Luokoucang in the first place?"

Ning Yan stood up, walked to the front of the map and asked.

Fang Xie looked at the map and thought about it carefully, and then asked tentatively, "Could it be that there are ambush soldiers?" ”

Ning Yan nodded and said, "Don't think you're very smart, how many elites were gathered in the southbound army at the beginning?" The generals who lead the troops, who are much more knowledgeable than you! Luokoucang was the largest granary in the Shang Kingdom, with one warehouse of grain stored in it, enough for the needs of a million-strong army for 30 years. The capture of Luokoucang will inevitably cause chaos in the Shang army...... However, several great generals at that time agreed that they would not fight Luokoucang precisely because they saw through the tricks of the Shang State. ”

"Luokoucang was built on Xingluo Mountain, and Zhenshui passed under the mountain. This water was originally a river channel for the Shang Kingdom to transport grain and grass. You haven't seen the terrain of Xingluo Mountain, so you naturally think that Luokoucang is not difficult to fight...... Luokoucang was built on the south side of Xingluo Mountain, and the north side of the mountain is mostly cliffs. In order to attack Luokoucang, the army must first cross the Zhenshui and go around to the south side of the mountain. In this way, it will take at least half a month. ”

"Attacking the enemy's granary and important land, the heaviest fast word, with lightning speed, can be accomplished. Fifteen days...... Not to mention whether there were ambushes on the way, just to say that the journey was so long, the Shang army had already taken precautions, and as long as 5,000 men and horses were used to defend the dangerous place, even 100,000 troops could not overcome it in a short time. It was the largest granary in the Shang Kingdom, so it would not be afraid of any siege and not attack. The troops besieging the mountain all starved to death, and the merchant army defending the mountain ate enough food for hundreds of years to eat eight meals a day. ”

"The Shang army deliberately exposed its flaws and led the army to attack Luokoucang in Xingluo Mountain, just to delay the army's schedule...... If the army going to Lingnan is blocked by Xing Luoshan, the vanguard army of the great general Luo Yao will become a lone army, even if the general is good at fighting, with only 30,000 or 40,000 horses, if it is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shang State, it will be impossible to escape. I have to say that the Shang army originally formulated this strategy in order to get rid of General Luo's left front guard. ”

"As long as the first war slaughters the left avant-garde, the morale of the Shang State will inevitably be greatly boosted, and if this battle is fought well, the Shang people may not be able to recover the decline."

"It's the students who are shallow."

Ning Yan said: "You have to remember that as a general, it is not enough to just look at the map. The map only shows that it is a mountain, but do you know what kind of mountain it is? There are six potentials in the earth, and how to use soldiers must not be taken for granted. ”

"The students remembered."

Ning Yan snorted, looked at the map and said, "I only said it once, but you can draw the route perfectly, not bad...... I have here a handwritten record of the march of those years, and it may be useful for you to turn it over when you have nothing to do. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Fang Xie solemnly saluted, and took the marching notes written by Ning Yan himself with both hands. The battle to destroy the Shang State was the most recent major war of the Great Sui, and after that, the Great Sui did not use troops for more than 20 years, so it can be said that this war undoubtedly has too many things to learn from for the current Sui people.

……

……

Fang Jie's current life is tired but fulfilling, in addition to Professor Qiu Yu, the Yanwu Academy will send other professors to guide him in his studies from time to time, such as Professor Ning Yan, and even Mo Wanwu, who indirectly killed Liu Shuang and the three of them on Banyue Mountain that day. For this man, Fang Xie actually didn't have much hatred in his heart. He knew that the death of Liu Shuang and the others was unexpected, Crescent Moon Lake was the largest water source on Half Moon Mountain, and the terrain was also dangerous, there were many places to hide, and it was very likely that they would hide there.

Even if Wisdom and Dust are not hiding there, Mo Wanwu is the one who attracts Wisdom and Dust with Fang Xie and arrogant advanced mountains.

But even so, the responsibility of Mo Wanwu cannot be shirked.

Fang Xie didn't scold or argue, just didn't say a word. Mo Wanwu sat in the stone room for half an hour and then got up to leave, and only said one word when he went out.

"Human life is a debt, and I can't pay it back for the time being. But you help them remember, don't forget. ”

After saying this, he walked out of the iron gate, his back gloomy.

Fang Xie almost had to face Qiu Yu's devil-like training, and if this intensity was changed to others, he would have already been tired into a puddle of mud. However, the recovery speed of Fang Xie is much faster than that of ordinary people, and most of them can be recovered after a good night's sleep. In Qiu Yu's words, I don't know how to make you grow up the fastest, but I know a stupid way.

The so-called stupid solution is to constantly squeeze the potential of the solution. The strength of his muscles is far beyond ordinary people, so he will continue to develop the strength of the muscles. Only in the constant squeezing can Fang Xie make his body stronger. As a pure martial artist, he had no way to invoke the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for his own use. If you want to fight and win against a practitioner, the only thing you can rely on is your body.

After slumping to the ground again, Qiu Yu picked up Fang Xie and threw it on the stone bed.

"I still can't see through your body."

Qiu Yu sat down on the chair, looked at Fang Xie and said seriously: "Your air pockets have opened six more places than before you were locked in, but there is no sea of qi, I don't know what your air pockets are for." In the past few days, I have found that the more intense the training, the faster your air pockets will be opened. Three were opened by you two months ago, and three were opened in the past seven days...... If we persist like this, it may not take long to open 36 air pockets. ”

"According to common sense, a person can open 36 air pockets, and he can barely practice...... Let's wait and see, maybe when your thirty-six air pockets are opened, the sea of qi will suddenly appear. ”

Fang Xie lay on the stone bed and gasped as he said, "Sir...... Don't you think that's a very irresponsible statement? ”

Qiu Yu spread his hands: "I'm just giving you hope, you should know very well that without the sea of qi, even if one hundred and twenty-eight air pockets are fully opened, what can you do?" ”

"Then if there is a sea of qi, what if all the 128 air pockets are opened?"

Qiu Yu thought for a while and replied, "Such a person, one day of cultivation is equivalent to ten days of practice for others. One year of cultivation may be more powerful than ten years of practice for others. ”

"!"

Fang Xie couldn't help but scold: "It's not fair! ”

"Where in the world does this world come from so much fairness?"

Qiu Yu said indifferently: "But...... Such a person is extremely rare, I have only seen one in the martial arts academy for many years. ”

"Who?"

Fang Xie asked curiously.

"So many uses, you ask? No matter who it is, it has nothing to do with you, and because there are such people, you have to work harder for a waste like you, and you will be thrown off a few streets at the beginning, and you can't run faster to catch up? ”

"I see......"

Fang Xie nodded: "Come again!" ”

……

……

The largest Taoist temple in Chang'an City

The beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on the futon slowly opened her eyes and looked at the twenty candles lit in a row on the table three meters away in front of her. Her eyes were bright, as if she could speak. It's hard to put into words how she looks, and if you had to try, the only four words would be flawless.

The Taoist robe on her body is light gray, which shows that her status in the Taoist temple is not very high. But she is Xiao Zhenren's fifth disciple, and her four senior brothers are now all red-robed great priests of the Dao Sect.

Her name is Mogel

Originally, she was just a puppet, a substitute for the dead. But fate is always so difficult to torture, Fang Xie has not had a smooth time since she left Fan Gu, but she has been favored by God.

Being able to become Xiao Zhenren's disciple is something that many people dream of but can't dream?

As she slowly opened her eyes, all of a sudden, the twenty candles that were burning went out almost at the same time, and without seeing any movement from her, all the candles were strangely extinguished.

Mo Ning Fat frowned slightly, and his eyes suddenly froze.

The breath in the room suddenly became chaotic, like dozens of small but sharp knives constantly circling in the room, and after a crackling sound, the twenty candles were cut off. Compared to the previous candle extinguishing, the candle that looked as if it had broken itself was even more weird.

Mo Ningji looked at the wall, and the air was stirred up again, and there was a soft sound on the wall one after another, and dozens of shallow marks appeared on the wall.

A hundred meters away from her room, in the gazebo.

Xiao Zhenren subconsciously looked at the room where he thought about Mo Ning, and then sighed slightly: "She is the first person with small eyes among the countless disciples of my Dao Sect. One hundred and twenty-eight air pockets are fully open...... It's extraordinary. ”
