The reason why Yu Qiuping asked Emperor Wanli for the opportunity to meet this person was because he was Yu Qiuping's idol when he was a child. And the Yuqiu family's military training method brought by Yu Qiuping this time did not dare to rashly teach it to Emperor Wanli, but planned to find this expert to help revise and correct it first. Yu Qiuping had already sent someone to send the military code in advance. In addition, Yu Qiuping has been in the army for more than ten years, and has accumulated countless problems, and wants to find someone to ask for advice. And he is undoubtedly the best object to learn.

Yu Qiuping knew that with his identity as a grass farmer, he would definitely not be able to see this person. Therefore, he specially asked Emperor Wanli to issue a decree to introduce him so that he could have a chance to meet his idol.

In the early morning of December 1, Yu Qiuping came to the agreed meeting place early. To his surprise, there were already people waiting in the room—before dawn, there was already a faint candlelight in the room. Yu Qiuping came so early, just because he was worried about making that person wait for a long time, but he didn't want to be a step late?

But when Yu Qiuping pushed the door open, he realized that he was wrong. It wasn't the same person he had met, but a young man in his early twenties. The young man was young and vigorous, with a stubble on his face, but he was quite heroic. He folded his hands over his chest, his feet stretched out on the stone table in front of him, and his chair was swinging back and forth, a cynical smile on his face.

"It's a bit like Oda Nobunaga's temperament." Yu Qiuping couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Dare to ask this little brother, is it someone from the military gate who came to clean up first?" Yu Qiuping looked at him, looking like a standard gentleman, and wondered if it would be the family or heir of the family he wanted to meet.

"You are the grass man who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and makes an appointment to meet my master? What other generals from the Wa Kingdom? I'm really going to put gold on my face! I didn't expect this young man to be very old, but his tone was not small, and when he met, he pointed at Yu Qiuping's nose and scolded.

"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was scolded so much that he didn't react at all - where did I offend him. He glanced at Honda Tadakatsu, but fortunately he didn't understand Chinese. Otherwise, when he heard this young man insulting himself like this, he would definitely draw a knife and go to it.

"Aren't you? Autumn foliage in rain? The young man saw that Yu Qiuping seemed to be pretending to be stupid, and after swaying the chair back and forth, a carp jumped directly onto the stone table, and this great waist and abdomen strength made Yu Qiuping startled. Then, he stood on the stone table and pointed at Yu Qiuping, "What kind of prince of the Wa Kingdom do you claim to be?" Where the bird doesn't poop and breaks big, how many people can be made? Also the princes? Even if the emperor of the Wa Kingdom comes, I will clean them all up with a few hundred iron horsemen! ”

Seeing this young man's arrogance, even if Honda Tadakatsu couldn't understand what he was saying, he knew that he must have been rude to Yu Qiuping. In the eyes of the samurai who humiliated the lord and his ministers to death, it was even more humiliating to sit and watch his master being insulted. Without saying a word, he grabbed the stone table on which the young man was stepping, and threw the table directly against the side wall with the young man. Yu Qiuping just wanted to stop it, but the young man had already been thrown out with a stone table.

Just a moment before Yu Qiuping closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation afterward, the young man suddenly turned around in the air, kicked his feet on the wall to complete the unloading, and landed steadily at the same time, he also caught the stone table that looked like it was hundreds of pounds.

"Yo, you whammy," the young man glanced contemptuously at Honda Tadakatsu, who was combing his head with Tsukiyo, "but a bit of brute force!" I'll just say, those who are hired by us Han people as bodyguards must have something. ”

After that, the young man took a step forward and threw the big stone table back suddenly, and the whirring wind frightened Yu Qiuping a lot. However, Honda Tadakatsu did not change his face, stood steadily, and took the stone table again with one hand.

"Okay, okay, don't throw it away." Yu Qiuping was frightened by Honda Tadashi and this young man, how could he throw a big stone table of about 100 catties as a baseball? "Nabenosuke, you put this table down."

Now that Yu Qiuhei has given the order, Honda Tadashi will naturally not disobey. But the lad seemed to have arrived, and was eager to come forward and provoke.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a rather majestic shout sounded behind everyone.

"Zimao, don't be rude to guests."

Yu Qiuping turned around, only to see that the person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties who was gentle and elegant, if he hadn't known who he was in advance, Yu Qiuping would never have thought that such a person would actually be the famous military general, the hero of the entire nation.

"Grass people rain autumn red leaves, see Qi Shuai."

·

The person who came was none other than Qi Jiguang.

"Mr. Yuqiu doesn't have to be polite, Youdao is the king of a small country and a minister of a big country. Sir is a prince of Japan, and I am only a martial artist, so I can be called an equal. However, Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said to Yu Qiuping very politely, "It seems that the little nephew offended Mr. just now, and I hope Mr. will atone for his sins." ”

"What's it, master?" After the young man saw that Qi Jiguang was very polite to Yu Qiuping, he shouted angrily, "That guy is the guy who is the same as Wang Zhi!" His men are all robbers! Why is the master so polite to him? ”

"Wang Zhi is a traitor, colluding with the Japanese people, disturbing the sea frontier, and slaughtering the people, this is a great traitor; Mr. Yuqiu was exiled in a foreign country, did not forget his homeland, and after he succeeded, he gave back to the Celestial Empire, which is a loyal minister of the country. How can they be compared? Zimao, don't apologize to Mr. Yuqiu soon! After Qi Jiguang saw that the young man was actually disrespectful, he frowned and scolded sharply. The young man who was lawless just now suddenly wilted, and he saluted Yuqiu unwillingly.

"The method of governing the army that Mr. Yuqiu sent a few days ago, I let you see it, have you read it?" After Qi Jiguang saw the young man's reaction like this, he asked in a low voice with some suspicion. After the young man prevaricated a few words, he found that he couldn't hide it, so he had to answer honestly: "I just glanced at it a few times, but I didn't look carefully." ”

"Alas, if you don't learn and don't know, how can you live up to Ling Zun's expectations." Qi Jiguang shook his head again and again when he heard this.

"I've read Master's "Ji Xiao New Book" and "Wu Bei New Book" many times, what are you doing looking at those Japanese things?" The young man retorted with some dissatisfaction.

"If you had seen Mr. Yuqiu's method of governing the army, you would not have made such superficial remarks." Qi Jiguang sighed, and said in a serious and low voice, "Martial artists are humble and motivated, so they can only bring about their own destruction. ”

"What do you mean, the guy writes very well?" The young man was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yu Qiuping again.

"The genius of the world." Qi Jiguang turned around, I don't know if he was preaching to the young man or praising Yu Qiuping, "The law of governing the army is far above Qi." ”

"How dare you do this!" Seeing this, Yu Qiuping hurriedly bowed deeply, how could he afford such praise from Qi Jiguang, "I also want to ask Qi Shuai to point out the shortcomings in order to promote the whole army." ”

"I'm afraid I don't dare to point out the shortcomings, I can only tinker." Qi Jiguang shook his head again and again, and whispered in admiration, "Qi rarely praises people, but Mr.'s method of governing the army really makes my eyes shine." Sure enough, we should not stick to the pride of the heavenly kingdom, and people from other countries also have strengths. The previous Furlong machine and artillery were modeled after the Southern Barbarians. Nowadays, the method of training the Japanese army is really worth taking as a teacher. ”

"This is a really powerful character, both in mind and vision, which is beyond the reach of future generations." Yu Qiuping silently praised in his heart, "Qi Shuai Rongma has been a horse all his life, whether it is a Japanese or a northern captive, he is a defeated general, and he can learn with an open mind. In later generations, those royal families and scholars of the Qing Dynasty were defeated by foreigners again and again, but they were still immersed in the dream of the heavenly kingdom and refused to change, which is really pedantic and stupid. ”

"Sir's law of governing the army should also be entrusted to Qi, who will definitely make every effort to repair it and compile it into a code and regulation suitable for the training of the whole army of our dynasty, and promote it throughout the country. If this matter is successful, then the combat strength of our army will not be inferior to that of Taizu. Qi Jiguang praised Yu Qiuping again with emotion, "Mr. cares about the country, and Qi is grateful." ”

Yu Qiuping's method of military training, like Ikeda Hengxing, Mori Kecheng, and Maeda Toshiya, have also seen it, and even Oda Nobunaga has asked about it, but no one has ever cherished it like Qi Jiguang. Yu Qiuping can't help but have a kind of joy of finding and appreciating the sound, maybe there are thousands of horses in the world, but Bole is not often. Only a person like Qi Jiguang who can train the Qi family's army, a strong army in the world, can truly realize the importance of this set of methods for governing the army from later generations.

"Qi Shuai is too famous, just a little carving insect skills." In front of Qi Jiguang, Yu Qiuping didn't dare to have the slightest color, because he knew how strong the person in front of him was, "I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have accumulated a lot of problems in the military, I want to ask Qi Shuai for advice, and I hope that Qi Shuai will give you some advice." Yu Qiuping said as he motioned to Mori Lanmaru to take over the more than a dozen battlefield diagrams he had prepared in advance that depicted the deployment of the two armies and the terrain, which were some of the large-scale battles that Yu Qiuping had encountered in the past ten years, and also the dozen or so battles that he had made into a war chess game. He planned to think hard about Qi Jiguang to learn from the experience and learn the real method of command.

"Sir, excuse me, Qi must know everything."

·

Yu Qiuping and Qi Jiguang talked about the sunset from early in the morning, and the three meals were simply eaten in the room. Finally, I simply lit candles and oil lamps and spent the night discussing. Listening to Qi Jiguang's thorough analysis of past battles and pointing out Yu Qiuping's command mistakes, Yu Qiuping only felt that the part of his heart about the command of the battle array was suddenly opened, and many questions that had plagued him for many years were also answered. Even under Qi Jiguang's thoughts, even the Battle of Mikachi, which he felt extremely desperate before, was promising.

Before you know it, the sky has already lit up. Hatani Suiko, Mori Ranmaru, and Asahinamatsu Chiyo were already asleep on the side, while Honda Tadakatsu and Mori Kolong, as well as Qi Jiguang's guards, stood meticulously outside the door. Only the young man was a little strange, obviously he didn't sleep, but he pretended to be sleeping, but his eyes kept looking at Yu Qiuping's battlefield map.

"It's not too early, Qi still needs to go back to deal with military affairs. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, dare not be negligent. Qi Jiguang glanced at the sky and stood up very regretfully, "The next military affairs are busy, I'm afraid I won't have time to talk to my husband anymore." ”

"It's okay, I can't get Qi Shuai's allocation, I'm already grateful." Yu Qiuping shook his head and said that Qi Jiguang didn't need to care, "If the meager strength of the lower is really beneficial to the combat strength of the Heavenly Army, I am deeply honored to be here." ”

"It will be, sir, don't worry." Qi Jiguang nodded very firmly at Yu Qiuping, and at the same time said to the young man on the side, "Zimao, you go back to the house, take all my clumsy works and battle case analysis diagrams over the years, and give them to Mr. Yuqiu as a parting gift." ”

"Yes." When the young man heard this, he immediately got up and bowed slightly to Yu Qiuping, as if he was sorry for what happened yesterday. But on his face, he still has that arrogant and uninhibited talent,

"Who is this?" Yu Qiuping watched the young man leave, and asked Qi Jiguang in a low voice.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is the son of a colleague in Xia, and he is also an apprentice of Xu Wenchang, who was sent to me to learn the art of war in recent days." Qi Jiguang glanced at his back with quite serious eyes, "This son will become a great talent in the future." ”

"His surname is Li, and his name is as follows."
