Chapter 35 The Situation in the World
"What if it still can't be cured?"
Ah Luo trembled, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
"If there is no if, it must be cured!"
At that moment, he even saw the hideousness and despair on her face.
Growing so big, it was the first time he was so excited to see Arlo.
Luo Bai opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.
At dinner in the evening, Huo Zong came.
He entered the house and said happily: "Brother Luo, Brother Luo, the court will not pursue my family's affairs for the time being." ”
Luo Bai looked at Huo Zong in a daze, and said nervously: "The Luo family made a move?" ”
Luo Bai cares about this question very much.
All this he did, in addition to Huo Zong's reasons, was more to test whether he had anything to do with the Luo family.
To be honest, he lives a very aggrieved life, and there are too many things that he can't decide, but he doesn't know why he can't be in charge.
Not to mention the cold heartlessness, he felt that even Ah Luo knew the inside story, but he didn't say it.
He decided to come on his own.
When he decided to take the risk, he was also apprehensive.
Fortunately, he won the bet, and he really had a ...... with the Luo family
"It's not the Luo family!"
Luo Baigang appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his smile suddenly froze: "What do you mean?" ”
"It's the General. He wrote to the imperial court, saying that the autumn festival was imminent, and suggested that the venue should be held in the grassland of Shangjun. It is the base for raising horses for the Northern Army, and it has always been managed by my Huo family......"
It turned out to be Lian Qingfeng!
Hearing this, he immediately thought of Lian Qingfeng, it turned out to be her who made a move!
It turned out that it was really not the Luo family, Luo Bai was a little disappointed, but he was also relaxed.
"I originally thought it was related, so it's okay to save my thoughts."
He looked at Huo Zong and said lightly: "Congratulations, the stone in your heart has fallen now." ”
Huo Zongxi nodded with a smile.
Luo Bai was excited and prepared to lie down.
Huo Zong didn't seem to notice it, and was still talking about the thrilling extent of this incident.
"If those bastards catch the handle this time, we will also cut our family's fiefdom at the last time. Did you know that the Ministry of War is ready to discuss this matter during the court meeting? It's a pity that His Majesty rejected this matter with a word. ”
Luo Bai smiled reluctantly and closed his eyes, as if he was tired.
Huo Zong finally found that Luo Bai's interest was not high, so he nodded and said, "Brother Luo, you have to get better quickly." When you've overcome your fear of blood, we'll go into battle together. ”
A word of comfort that was not even sincere spit out from Huo Zong's mouth, and Luo Bai let out an "um" without even raising his eyelids.
Huo Zong left, Luo Bai covered his head, wanting to cry happily, but he didn't have a chance.
"Your injuries are almost healed, you can leave tomorrow."
Lian Qingfeng came in and drove him away.
Luo Bai immediately sorted out his mood, stood up and said, "I know Aunt Lian." ”
"The place to cook is far from here, don't come if it's okay."
Luo Bai smiled: "Look at what Aunt Lian said." You're so nice to me, I'm going to come and see you. ”
Who knew that Lian Qingfeng glared coldly: "I'm talking about Ah Luo!" ”
Luo Bai stopped laughing.
"I'm not even qualified to see Ah Luo?"
Lian Qingfeng nodded: "If you are not well, don't come to see her." Unless you decide to leave this place, and Arlo is willing to go with you! ”
Luo Bai looked at Lian Qingfeng's cold face, and didn't know why she said this.
Looking back at the military uniform placed at the head of the bed, he muttered, "This dress is still the best match for me......"
That night, when Shen Mingshu took him to the class, he was wearing his own military uniform and dressed very formally.
"When you come back, take me to the Firehead Army, where I will live in the future."
A place to learn.
"Today I don't want to talk about the art of war and strategy, let's talk about something else."
Luo Bai did not lose his interest because Mr. did not talk about the art of war, he waited quietly, waiting for Mr. to say something shocking.
"I fight with you, and you lose, that's a loss, there is no reason and no luck. Fortunately, if you lose the fight, you may be able to fight back in the future, but if you lose the war, you won't even have your life. ”
There seemed to be nothing incisive about the words, and the crowd listened quietly, without a single sound.
"So, if you lose the war, don't make excuses, because you're dead. War is about letting others die, not oneself. This is the meaning of the existence of the art of war strategy. Only by winning can we live! ”
"Conspiracy, conspiracy, on the battlefield, outside the battlefield, anything that can control the situation of the battle and achieve victory, do everything, this is the art of war strategy. It's just that some of them look positive, some of them look strange, and some of them look evil! ”
"Boys, the one who taught me the art of war told me that good and strange are born together, and evil is not done. In his opinion, a soldier should defeat the enemy on the battlefield with dignity. But he forgot, how can everyone be upright in this world? ”
"So I ask you to cultivate yourself with righteousness, act with wonder, and guard against people with evil. If you are upright, you are fearless; If you are curious, you will have no trace of imagination; As for the evil, people dare not deceive! ”
"As a general, if you can do these three things, you can already be on your own."
On this night, what the gentleman said was surprising, this is not like the art of war, it is also different from strategy, it seems to be a complex interpersonal relationship in the court.
Luo Bai looked at the gentleman in the dark, and he suddenly wanted to ask: Why is it so troublesome to fight?
Leaving the place where he was listening, Shen Mingshu was silent, and Luo Bai naturally didn't open his mouth much. It wasn't until they had been gone for a long time that Shen Mingshu spoke: "I was suddenly summoned here a month ago, and it wasn't until I met your uncle that I realized that my mission was to protect you, this waste!" ”
There is no mouth in the statement, and one sentence can hear his resentment and unwillingness!
"You know what? Fengyu City, which is 700 miles away from the imperial capital, has reached a dangerous situation, and I am being called back to protect you at this time! ”
"If I could, I'd like to kill you with one sword!"
Luo Bai stopped, his eyes as cold as a dead man.
From a full-time warrior to a cooking man, can he be angry in his heart?
"This time the dead man wanted my life, and now there is one more you. You have a sword in your hand, why don't you do it? ”
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
With a "bang", the sharp blade came out of its sheath and was against Luo Bai.
"An unsheathed sword is the most intimidating. Mr. said that a military general wears a sword, and it is not easy to unsheath, but when it is unsheathed, it will drink blood. And not like you, to scare people. ”
Shen Mingshu put the sword back, Luo Bai couldn't see his expression in the dark, but the sound of deep and heavy breathing all showed his anger.
"After the autumn, whether you are still here or not, I will leave. Instead of wasting my life here, I should go where I am needed most. Even if you die on the battlefield, you will not hesitate to do so. ”
In the darkness, Luo Bai's eyes lit up.
"On this mission, I heard General Feng mention it, saying that the battle in Fengyu City is about to break out, and it may be the final decisive battle that will determine the fate, is it true?"
Shen Mingshu didn't expect Luo Bai to ask such a question at this time.
"It's right to say it's right, it's wrong to say it's wrong!"
"How?"
The statement does not answer the rhetorical question: "Are you interested in this?" ”
Luo Bai suddenly smiled: "Then will you tell me?" ”
"I have wine in my tent."
"I'm thirsty too."
For the first time, the statement felt that he lacked understanding of this hateful teenager.
How ironic that a person who is interested in war has a disease that prevents him from going to war!
In the tent, Shen Mingshu poured a bowl of wine for Luo Bai.
"It's cold, it's good to drink some wine."
Luo Bai raised his head and drank it, waiting quietly.
"Why didn't Han Wuxin tell you?"
Luo Bai didn't speak.
"Thirty years ago, Emperor Taizu slaughtered the Six Kingdoms, set the world, and invited the sectarian masters at that time to look forward to it, and selected Chang'an City, the city of Longxing, as the national capital."
"In order to perpetuate the empire, it is in the four directions of Chang'an City, and four passes are built: Dongtong Pass, Xisan Pass, Nanwu Pass, and North Xiao Pass. The reason why I said that what you said was wrong is because if the four levels are not broken, Chang'an City will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”
"But you still say I'm right!"
"This brings me back to the City of Abundance that I mentioned."
"The city of abundance is 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 Mobei horse team is connected into a piece, and Yanran eats sea fish in the city! ”
"This is the most widely circulated folk song about Abundance City today."
The statement should be as detailed as possible, so that Luo Bai can have a more intuitive understanding.
"There is no abundance in the world. To the west of Tongguan and to the east of Shazhou, more than half of the grain in this million miles of land is provided by Fengyu City. Among them, Chang'an City is also included! ”
Needless to explain, the statement is already very clear.
The four passes stand majestically and guard Chang'an. If the four passes are not broken, Chang'an City is as stable as Mount Tai. But once the city of abundance is broken, then the grain from the east will not be able to reach Tongguan. If there is no food in the city, Tongguan will be broken.
And then there's Chang'an City!
Understood, all understood.
Luo Bai picked up the wine bowl and drank it.
"Since the city of abundance is so important, which general is guarding the city?"
Shen Mingshu glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Xu Wei, do you know?" ”
Luo Bai shook his head honestly, the generals in service, except for Lian Chongguang, he only knew Feng Linghai and Bai Qingkong.
Shen Mingshu snorted coldly again: "In order to hold Fengyu City, after the defeat of the vanguard of 20,000 people, the new southern army directly retreated across Huaishui and stationed on the north bank of Huaishui, preparing to resist the rebels' northward advance. ”
For the region of the Xia Dynasty, Luo Bai probably knew the distribution.
He simulated the offensive and defensive situation of the entire battle in his mind, but he didn't get any information.
The troops, the ability of the generals, and the right time and place are not mastered, and he didn't make a judgment at all.
"It's the end of November and it could snow at any time. The rebels were all southerners and did not adapt to the climate of the north. Therefore, between now and the beginning of spring in March next year, there is only one chance to try to cross the Huaishui River in the north. If it fails, it will have to wait until March next year. ”
"If that time really comes, Abundance City can be delayed until the grain is ripe. As long as the grain of Fengyu City is transported to Tongguan and Chang'an City......"
In this way, Tongguan can be guarded, and Chang'an City can be guarded!
It turns out that this is their strategic intention.
But the problem is, they don't seem to think about attacking, they only think about passive defense!
That's not a good thing.
"So your judgment is that will they cross the Huaishui north this year and attack Fengyu City?"
Luo Bai interrupted the statement, and his immature face was full of seriousness.
"Don't pin your hopes on ifs, if your assumptions are not true, then whether it is for the southern army or Fengyu City, it will be a catastrophe!"
At this moment, the body of this sixteen-year-old boy seems to show a kind of eye-catching brilliance, which makes people involuntarily follow his train of thought.
"What do you mean......"
"You think like that, maybe the enemy makes you think like that. Southerners are not used to the cold, but no one says that they can't fight in winter! ”
"Sir said that it is strange to be born together, if it is right that their tentative attack failed this year and waited until next year to attack again, then it would be strange to cross the Huaishui River north by surprise and approach Fengyu City."
The statement looked at Luo Bai in disbelief.
What he just learned half an hour ago, plus a few words of his description, he can use it flexibly to such an extent, how did this kid's brain grow?
But he didn't take it too seriously.
The Huaishui River flows into the sea in the east and winds for thousands of miles.
If a small group of rebels crossed the Huaishui without knowing it, there was still a chance. Then after the army crosses the Huaishui River in the north, it can still run thousands of miles to attack Fengyu City, which is a fool's dream.
"Henan Road is rich, and there are countless merchants and peddlers. Outside the city, except for the country town store, it is a fertile field, and there is no possibility of hiding traces at all. If there are few people, they may not care, but if there are many people, they will inevitably be discovered. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we don't mention these, Fengyu City has thick walls, and it usually takes a year and a half to attack, do you think the rebels can easily occupy it? ”
Luo Bai didn't speak again.
What he said was theoretical, and there was no factual basis at all.
As for who is right and who is wrong, wait and see.
"Send me to Mu Yichu!"
