Chapter 47: The Sand Table
Luo Bai was ready to meet the strange gaze, but Yan Wenyuan and the young man both knelt down.
Mu Yichu seemed to know what was going on, and knelt down.
At this moment, in the room, only Luo Bai was still standing.
Mu Yichu hurriedly pulled him, and Luo Bai knelt down.
But kneeling is kneeling, but I don't know what to call it. Fortunately, Yan Wenyuan and the others didn't shout anything, which saved him embarrassment.
The visitor didn't let them get up, walked to the main seat, picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of food, and tasted it first.
Then he pointed to the pot of soup and said, "That is called *?" ”
Mu Yichu said: "Yes." ”
"That's a good name."
Luo Bai and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, with this sentence, even if it is not a good thing, it will not become a bad thing, right?
"Go down."
Mu Yichu didn't raise his head, bowed and retreated to the door, and left in a hurry.
Luo Bai wanted to take a look, but seeing that Mu Yichu, who had experienced a hundred battles, was like this, he didn't dare to act rashly, and he also retreated like him.
Outside the house, Mu Yichu saw Luo Bai come out, grabbed him, and left quickly.
Luo Bai whispered: "It's finally here, I want to see ...... Luo"
Mu Yichu said softly: "You are looking for death!" Let's go! ”
Luo Bai reluctantly left.
Away from this row of houses, Luo Bai finally spoke: "Then who is so afraid?" ”
Mu Yichu was silent for a while and said, "The young one is His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”
Luo Bai finally showed a shocked look, but the next moment he panicked: "That middle-aged man is ......"
Mu Yichu glanced at him: "If you don't say that you are ignorant and fearless." ”
Luo Bai's back suddenly felt cold.
Is Nima really His Majesty the Emperor?
I don't even see my face!
Back at the residence, Luo Bai still looked frightened.
Tu Shuangdao came over to look at him, and then nodded: "You're not dead?" It's a big life. ”
Luo Bai immediately looked at him and said, "Do you know who we're cooking for?" ”
Tu Shuangdao said: "Why don't you say that your life is big?" ”
This breakfast, Luo Bai did not eat well.
When it was all over and the soldiers of the Champion Battalion began training, he was idle.
He stood at the mouth of the tent and looked at the soldiers galloping on horseback, and he showed a look of envy.
When he turned around and saw Mu Yichu, who was about to enter the tent, he grabbed him and said, "My lord, can I go?" ”
Mu Yichu directly threw him away: "The list of participants in this drill has been decided, without you!" ”
"Besides. The Guntou Army does not have to participate. ”
"So what am I doing here?"
"Cooking!"
Luo Bai immediately stopped: "I'm here to kill, since there is nothing to kill, I'll go to the training." ”
Mu Yichu made a "please" gesture, and prepared to go into the tent to sleep.
Luo Bai asked confusedly, "You won't stop me?" ”
Mu Yichu didn't reply: "You are in a hurry to die, what am I stopping you for?" Go, go! ”
The general asked him to come here to heal the sick. If the disease is not cured, how can he be allowed to return to the team?
Luo Bai shrugged his head and walked in as well.
"Sleep in peace, I'm going to cook at noon."
Luo Bai took off his boots, covered the quilt and prepared to sleep: "You go by yourself, I won't go." ”
Mu Yichu smiled and did not continue to persuade.
In a few moments, a slight snoring came.
Luo Bai sat up and watched Mu Yichu fall asleep so quickly, he was so angry that he really wanted to lift his quilt.
"Bastard!"
Just as he was scolding, a familiar voice came from outside the tent: "Boy, get out." ”
It's a declaration!
Luo Bai's eyes lit up and he ran out.
Outside the tent, Shen Mingshu was dressed in a military uniform and looked quite mighty.
Shen Mingshu glanced at him and said solemnly: "Continue to study tonight, and I will pick you up then." ”
Luo Bai was surprised: "Mr. is here too?" ”
Shen Mingshu didn't want to talk to him more, the words had been brought, and he turned around and left.
Back in bed, Mu Yichu woke up.
"The autumn season is over, and the general is going to test you. If the illness does not improve, you may be persuaded to quit. ”
If it had been before, he would have been nervous. But now, he doesn't care.
"Don't worry, there is only Luo Bai who walks by himself, and there are no soldiers who are persuaded to retreat."
"I'm quite confident."
"That's it!"
Mu Yichu raised his head and found that Luo Bai had already laid down.
"Then have you thought about it, according to the current situation of the imperial court, it is impossible for you to complete three years of study in this term. If it's fast, at the beginning of next year, if it's slow, it's the second half of next year, and you'll definitely be sent to battle. Have you thought about these? ”
Luo Bai thought about it.
The statement also told him that in the near future, even in the next few days, the rebels in the south might cross the river. Because this is their last chance before winter, otherwise they will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.
Listening to Mu Yichu's words now, it seems that he also thinks that it is impossible for the rebels in the south to cross the river before the year.
It seems that not only middle-level generals in the army, but even lower-level soldiers may have a slack mentality.
That's not a good thing.
"So, it doesn't matter to you whether you pass the general's test this time or not. It's just a little less study, and the future is still promising. ”
The corners of Luo Bai's mouth curled: "What can you expect?" ”
"A rich son, no worries about food and clothing."
Luo Bai exploded directly: "I didn't come here to be a waste who has no worries about food and clothing!" ”
Mu Yichu yelled-for-tat: "Then you work hard!" Exercise hard, study hard, and do something for others to see. ”
"I can't even fucking train right now, so what else can I talk about?"
Mu Yichu said in a deep voice: "Excellent generals are all trained on the battlefield. The learning and training in the camp just make you more prepared. But no matter how good the foundation is, without that kick in the door, you are not a general. ”
Luo Bai was not stupid, and immediately reacted: "Do you want me to go to Fengyu City?" ”
Mu Yichu snored again.
Luo Bai stood up and saw that Mu Yichu's eyelids were lightly covered, not a little nervous, and he seemed to be really asleep.
"You're so passionate in your dreams, you're amazing!"
The night arrived as scheduled.
Luo Bai is tired of being a dog.
He thought that lunch and dinner would be as simple as breakfast, but he didn't expect that breakfast was the easiest.
Finally, he was done, and as soon as he lay down, the statement came to call him again.
"Boy, it's time."
Luo Bai sat up from the bed with difficulty and got up silently.
Outside the house, the statement did not take him directly. The two of them went around in a big circle, until no one paid attention to them, and then the statement threw him a black loose robe: "Put it on, cover it tightly." ”
Luo Bai took it and saw that it was a one-piece robe, and even the shoes were covered.
"What? Isn't it just learning something, as for making it like an assassination? ”
"It's good that you don't wear it, let everyone know that you are learning from Ren Wushuang."
Luo Bai's eyes lit up: "Mr. is called Ren Wushuang?" ”
Shen Mingshu also found that he had lost his words, snorted coldly, and left first.
The place where I studied this time was in that row of houses.
This time, there was no light in front of the house, and he couldn't tell which house it was.
By the faint light, he could see two men standing in front of the door.
They covered their whole bodies tightly, only their eyes.
It's a pity that the light at the door is not good, and he can't tell who the two of them are by his eyes.
Moments later, two more people arrived.
A black-armored warrior stepped out of the house and led them inside.
"There are seven screens here, choose one for yourself."
Luo Bai didn't understand why he was so troublesome now.
But he obeyed the order and chose to sit behind a screen.
In the middle, a few people have a good heart, and no one sits.
A few people sat down, the black-armored warrior lit the lamp, and everyone in the room suddenly saw the layout inside.
It's a war room!
In the middle, there is a giant sand table!
It simulates mountains, rivers, cities, plains and hills. It seems to be compared with reality one by one.
"This is the sand table of the Central Plains."
A familiar voice came from behind the screen in the middle, it was Mr.
"This time, Qiu Zhuo will test your military intelligence exercise, and this is what I want to talk about today."
"You can look at this sand table."
"You know no less about Abundance City than I do. That song sings well, the city of abundance, divided into north and south. The north city is abundant, the south city is rich, the canal moves three thousand miles, and Longyou does not worry about rice for three years. ”
"The city of Fengyu is divided into two cities in the north and south by the Yellow River, and the north bank of the Yellow River is hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land. This is enough to ensure the food supply of Chang'an City. The merchants in the south of the city are like flowing water, which is a prosperous place in the world, and only Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River can compare with it. ”
This is something that everyone knows in the world, and what Ren Wushuang wants to say is definitely not these.
"Around the city of abundance, there is a mountain. It is ten miles away from the south bank of the Yellow River and fifty miles away from the south of Fengyu City. From that hill to the city of abundance, there was only a road two carriages wide. Doesn't that sound like an idea? ”
The road that can be crossed by two carriages seems to be well guarded, huh?
"The premise of a husband is that this road is the only way. But that mountain has nothing to do with Abundance City. The reason why I say this is just to introduce you to the surrounding areas of Abundance City. That mountain, whether it may be useful or not, is up to you. ”
"The city of abundance is thick and the walls are thick, but unfortunately there is no danger to rely on, which has caused it to be easy to attack and difficult to defend. When it was built, it was also intended to be used as a supply base for grain and grass to support the northern and western regions. Unexpectedly, the disaster of the imperial court actually appeared internally. ”
Ren Wushuang kept talking nonsense, and Luo Bai didn't understand what this had to do with the battle of Fengyu City that was deduced from the next sand table.
Fortunately, he was accustomed to the way he spoke, and knew that his next words would not disappoint him.
"I have taught you that war depends on the right time and place. Now that winter is about to begin, for those of them in the south, the transportation of grain and grass is a problem. In addition, it is warm in the south and bitterly cold in the north. It is more beneficial for us to fight in the cold season. This is the time of day. ”
"The Southern armies were good at water warfare, not land and cavalry warfare. Fighting in the south, it is not good for us. But this is in the north, or a defensive battle. That's the location. ”
"As for the people? Since the founding of Emperor Taizu, although he has frequently fought foreign wars, he has implemented a policy of resting with the people internally. The military field is responsible for providing for the army, and tries not to disturb the farmers and merchants. It has been 500 years since the world was divided, and the people have never been unified, and the people have suffered greatly. Now that peace is finally at peace, I naturally don't want to go back to the past. That's people. ”
Ren Wushuang analyzed simply, Luo Bai listened simply, and didn't feel that there was anything unique about these analyses.
"After listening to it, do you think that we have taken advantage of the right time and place, and this battle will be won?"
Isn't it?
"The city of abundance is there, it can't move, it's dead. But the Huai River is so long that you don't know which direction they will cross the river from. You can't even cross the river! ”
"We are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, how to fight this battle?"
