Shang Xiuying reads things quickly, and although Hyun Yi writes a lot of content, she doesn't actually spend too much time reading it. Xuan Yicai said a few words to Liu Jiexuan, and she had already finished reading it.

"Lao Liu, this is for you to see." She handed the manuscript in her hand to Liu Jiexuan, and then said to Xuan Yi: "Dao Chief, I have seen this thing of yours, and I still don't understand some things, but I want to ask you." ”

Liu Jiexuan was originally a blacksmith and was illiterate. Later, after following Huang Zide's rebellion, Huang Zide persuaded him to learn to read and write, saying: "If you can't read, you can't rob well, and you can't recognize valuable treasures." When you start a war, you can't understand the military order, how do you say that? Another old boy was taken to be his husband, and he barely began to learn to read. After a period of study, I reached the level where I could read how much silver and how many meters were recorded in the ledger, as well as the usual military orders. However, he only recognized these words, but he was not very good at writing. Later, after Xuanyi Taoist joined, under Xuanyi's supervision, he spent a little bit of thought seriously, and now he can recognize more than a thousand words. When Xuan Yi writes articles, he always consciously writes as plain as possible, so that people like Huang Zide and Liu Jiexuan who are not highly educated can also understand it. Huang Tian agreed with this approach, he said: "The phrase 'playing the piano to the cow' contains the meaning of the object of ridicule. If we remove this meaning and put in the meaning of respecting the object, then we are left with the meaning of ridiculing the person who plays the piano. Why don't you just watch the subject bounce around? Archery depends on the target, playing the piano depends on the audience, can you write an article and make a speech without looking at the reader and not looking at the audience? If you can do this, you can be considered a teachable. ”

Liu Jiexuan took the manuscript and read it. But Shang Xiuying asked, "Dao Chief thinks that now that we have won battles in a row, it is a bad thing?" ”

Xuan Yi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, do you still remember that when I was in Shangluo Mountain, my sister-in-law and the marshal said the sentence 'Misfortune and fortune are relied on, and fortune and misfortune are lurking'?" This battle is won, of course, it is a good thing, just like Seon's horse brought back the horses of the Hu people, which is of course a good thing, but if you are not vigilant when there is a good thing, maybe something bad will happen. For example, it is certainly a good thing that our army defeated the officers and troops in a row so easily. But sister-in-law, you are also a hero who leads troops to war. You said it yourself, if Fu Yuanxian hadn't been dizzy and did so many stupid things. Everyone is well fed and drunk, dressed neatly, and put on a posture to fight, because of the numerical superiority of our army, most of them can still win, but can they really win as easily as last time? ”

"How is that possible?" Shang Xiuying shook his head and said, "In our army, there are mostly recruits. And the equipment of the people is no worse than ours, and there are more veterans. If you can win the battle, maybe you will kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, so how easy can it be? ”

"Sister-in-law." Liu Jiexuan interjected, "Our Mandarin Duck Formation is practicing well now, and it should be able to take advantage of a lot." If you kill a thousand enemies, you can't lose 800, and I think it should be pretty much the same if you can lose 2 or 300. Obviously, Liu Jiexuan is more confident than Shang Xiuying in presiding over the mandarin duck formation that he has trained.

"Sister-in-law, look, isn't there a problem? What is the combat strength of our army now, sister-in-law, who is right, you or General Liu? Everyone's hearts are actually not particularly bottom-up, right? Xuan Yi said, "In this way, when we calculate the victory or loss in the confrontation between ourselves and the enemy, the things we calculate will not be reliable." Since coming out of Shangluo Mountain, we don't know how capable our army is. General Liu and sister-in-law are both cautious people. But are the soldiers below as cautious as General Liu and his sister-in-law? Especially those of our recruits, after they joined our army, the officers and soldiers they encountered were all vulnerable, will they feel that they are invincible, and others are vulnerable? Sister-in-law, you also know that this kind of pride is not morale, but arrogance. The ancients said, 'Proud soldiers will be defeated', why? Sister-in-law still remembers the story of the battle of Qin Jinkun, right? Do you remember why Wang Sunman predicted the defeat of the Qin army at that time? ”

"It seems that it was because Qin Jun was rude when he passed through the city gate of the Son of Heaven." Shang Xiuying said, "They are rude to the Son of Heaven, which shows their arrogance." Arrogant people are unwilling to make meticulous plans and fail to observe military discipline. Lacking strategy and lax military discipline, how can you not fail? ”

"In fact, the general of the Qin army, Baili Mengming, is not a scheming person." Xuan Yi said, "It's just because I have pride that I don't bother to plan carefully." It's like taking a couple of brothers out hunting. If you know that there are tigers on the mountain, and you go up the mountain to fight tigers, then before you go up the mountain, you must carefully plan how to do it, how to respond, and how to escape. When you go up the mountain, you will be extra careful and will not let go of any wind and grass. But if you know that there are no tigers on this mountain, there are not even wild boars, only a few rabbits, and you take your brothers up the mountain to fight rabbits. So who will plan and execute cautiously like a tiger? If our brothers below us think of themselves as tigers and enemies as rabbits, how can they do it, even if we tell them every day to be cautious, to be careful, to be vigilant? Therefore, Poor Dao feels that if this series of victories is not handled well, it is really not necessarily a good thing. ”

Huang Zide listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but nod and said: "That's true, to be honest, it's me, there are some officials and soldiers who just think like this, not to mention the soldiers below?" The Taoist chief said before, 'The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength', in fact, it sounds simple, but it is not easy to do it. The Taoist commander wants to compile strict and meticulous military rules and detailed assessment regulations, in order to keep the soldiers from being arrogant. ”

Xuan Yi nodded and said, "What the marshal said is true." In fact, this idea of poor Dao was also inspired by the saints. ”

"Oh, tell me about it?" When Huang Zide heard this, he was also interested.

"Saint?" Niu Juming's eyes also widened, "Who is the saint that this bull nose is talking about?" What tricks does he want to do? Does he want to blow Lao Tzu or something like that into a saint? Lao Tzu is also worthy of being called a saint? He couldn't help but think so.

Xuan Yi replied: "Yan Hui, the most outstanding disciple of the Confucian sage, asked Confucius how a person can achieve the realm of 'benevolence'. Sage Confucius replied, 'Self-denial is benevolence. It means that if you can restrain your desires and meet the requirements of propriety, you can achieve the state of 'benevolence'. Yan Hui asked how to do it specifically. The sage replied, 'Don't see, don't listen, don't speak, don't move.' It means that we should always restrain ourselves with courtesy, and if we don't see, listen, speak, or do anything that is not in line with etiquette, we will be able to attain the state of benevolence if we keep it and become a habit. Does the marshal know what a 'rite' is? ”

Huang Zide shook his head.

Xuan Yi said: "The Book of Rites" cloud: 'The husband is a courtesy, so he determines the relatives, decides the suspicion, does not have the same and different, and knows right from wrong. 'Etiquette, in fact, is a whole set of rules. In fact, there are rules for fighting. Poor Dao is not talking about the rules of the Song Xiang formula of 'no drums, no columns', 'no serious injuries, no capture of Ermao', but the rules within his own army. If we set the rules carefully, and strictly follow these rules at all times, we will follow them when there is an enemy, when there is no enemy, when the enemy is strong and when the enemy is weak, we will follow the same, so that the soldiers can form habits. For example, when you set up camp, what you have to do in the first step, what you have to do in the second step, and who should do what when and when you are going to do it, they are all carefully compiled and then strictly implemented. As long as we do this, then even if our soldier looks down on the enemy in his heart, as long as he does what he does, the enemy will not have a chance to steal our battalion. Another example is that on the battlefield, there are rules for every move, no matter who the enemy is, we must strictly follow these rules, and it will be difficult for the enemy to take advantage of us easily. ”

Huang Zide listened, nodded again, and then said, "This is a good way!" It's just not easy to do, I'm afraid that we are all going to be too tired to sleep well. First of all, it is necessary to work hard to compile these regulations slowly, and then special people must be sent to supervise the implementation. But if it is done, then our army will really take a big step forward, and in the future, it will be against the Tartars, and I will not be afraid of Lao Huang. Oh, don't laugh. Although we haven't fought the Tartars, but to be honest, you are really not afraid of the Tartars at all? ”

"The Tianxiong Army is so capable of fighting, we have all seen it, and it has not been able to hold up against the Tartars for a day. Say you're not afraid, who really isn't afraid. Liu Jiexuan, who has always been unruly, also said such a sentence honestly.

"I'll entrust this regulation to the Taoist Chief, right?" Huang Zide said again.

Niu Juming was on the side, his eyes full of envy and anxiety. At first, he thought that the "saint" mentioned by Xuanyi Taoist must be Lao Tzu, and he must be talking about those tricks of scheming. Because both the Bingjia and the Legalists actually originated from Taoism. But I don't want the sage that Xuanyi Taoist talked about turned out to be Confucius, and the way he talked about using soldiers was not a strategy, but a "ceremony"! The words quoted by Xuan Yi are too familiar for Niu Juming to be familiar with, but he never thought that these words could be understood and extended in this way. A Taoist priest, when using Confucian classics, behaves more freely than he, a Confucian scholar. On the one hand, Niu Juming was shocked, and on the other hand, these explanations that deviated from the classics also made him feel particularly hateful, because-"This is messing with my Taoism!" ”

But at this time, it was the water that didn't notice Niu Juming's thoughts. I only heard Xuan Yi say: "Marshal, this regulation can't be written by Poor Dao alone, Poor Dao has limited knowledge of military battle formations, how can it be written?" Even if it is written, it may not be good. At the beginning, Fan Chi, a disciple of the sage Confucius, asked Confucius for advice on how to farm, and Confucius said: "I am not as good as an old peasant." 'Is Sage Kong being humble? Poor Dao thinks no. Sage Confucius said: 'Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing.' A saint is a saint not because he knows everything, but because he knows that he can do those things himself, and that those things depend on everyone to do. For example, the artillery unit should make up its own artillery regulations, first write them out, implement them accordingly, then examine the results, check the results, and then adjust and improve them. That's much stronger than the impoverished road to the wall. The same is true for other departments, the regulations are discussed from the bottom first, then reviewed at the top, then implemented, and then checked the effect, and adjusted and improved. ”

Huang Zide listened, nodded and said, "In this case, then let the chief of the military department let the Taoist chief do it." ”

The second more is completed, and once again cheekily begging for collections, clicks, and support.
