Chapter 10 The right time, place and people
When Luo Bai returned, a black-armored warrior was waiting for him in the tent.
Seeing him coming, he said indifferently, "Follow me." ”
Luo Bai didn't ask anything, and followed him away
There was silence all the way.
Looking at the warrior in black armor in front of him, Luo Bai felt that there was a solemn aura swirling around him.
Luo Bai believes that this guy has definitely been on the battlefield and killed people.
They went around for a long time, and they got faster and faster.
When he walked to the back, Luo Bai trotted up to catch up.
Finally, when Luo Bai was a little out of breath, the black-armored warrior stopped.
"Lift your feet!"
Luo Bai didn't know why, but he still raised his feet.
"Walk three feet, stand up!"
Luo Bai did it one by one.
The two of them stood up, and there was no more sound.
Luo Bai looked at everything around him curiously, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
It was dark, very quiet, so eerie quiet.
"Mobei and the Western Regions are cavalry, and the long-distance raids are more than 100 miles, can you ride a horse for a long time with a body like you?"
The voice of the black-armored warrior suddenly sounded, startling Luo Bai.
He stabilized his heartbeat and replied, "I'm already thinking of ways to strengthen my physique." ”
This was a plausible answer, which caused the other party to look at him faintly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Luo Bai continued: "As for riding horses for a long time, you will know later. ”
The black-armored warrior was noncommittal, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Time passed, and the atmosphere around me became more and more eerie.
Luo Bai felt the invasion of the cold, and couldn't help hugging his chest to keep warm.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Luo Bai immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.
There seemed to be a few people walking there, but there was no light around, and nothing could be seen.
The man who came stood a foot away from them, and did not speak.
The surroundings were quiet again, except for the sound of breathing and heartbeat.
Unfortunately, there is really no light here, and I can't see anything clearly.
"Have you all arrived?"
An unfamiliar and majestic voice suddenly sounded from the front, startling Luo Bai.
He was sure that there was no one in that direction!
Now there is someone there, and it can only be said that the other party has been there, but he has not found it.
If this is an Assassin......
"It's all there."
The black-armored warrior who had brought him replied.
"Stand down."
There was another sound of footsteps, and the black-armored warrior who had brought Luo Bai left. There were a few others who left with him.
The surroundings were quiet again.
"War kills. As soon as thousands of troops and horses came out, the corpses were all over the field, and they were extremely tragic. ”
The person hiding in the shadows did not introduce himself, but said something that surprised them.
"So, why should there be war?"
Immediately after, the second sentence came out.
Luo Bai didn't reply, and the people standing next to him didn't answer.
All those brought stood silently, with no sound except for the sound of breathing and heartbeat.
"I don't even say it, I don't know. It's normal: because I don't know either! ”
This man is sick!
This is Luo Bai's first feeling, after all, a normal person would not say such meaningless words on such an occasion.
He suddenly regretted his actions tonight.
Perhaps, with this time, he should go to martial arts to enhance his physique.
"But just because I don't know the answer doesn't mean you don't have the answer. A few of you, when you leave the Champions Camp, tell me your answers! Otherwise, I won't let you graduate. ”
Luo Bai suddenly felt like he was on a thief ship.
"I think I was originally at ease in the Xia Dynasty, and the imperial court has to arrest me here to teach you juniors, I am a million unwilling. After all, teaching students this kind of thing is also within the scope of human ethics, how can you casually tie it up and be a master and apprentice? If I hadn't owed everyone a favor, I wouldn't have come even if I died. ”
This guy is quite tsundere!
Luo Bai was noncommittal to his words. But even if there is an opinion, now is not the time to say it.
He stood quietly and did not speak.
"But since you choose to return the favor, then I still have to teach you. Although I don't think you can learn what I teach, I don't think you can be foolish or slow down if there are one or two of you who have one or two brains that can comprehend one or two points. ”
This guy is not only tsundere, but also narcissistic!
At this point, Luo Bai has defined this guy.
"As for why you have to teach people things so darkly, hehe, you are not my apprentices, and I am not your master, so there is no need to know them. I don't know how to get acquainted, I haven't learned things, and you are pestering me to learn, so I can't afford to mess with me. ”
Listening to the voice, this person should be old, and he should be about the same as Han Wuxin, in his forties. But why is there so much nonsense?
Luo Bai was already impatient.
"Okay, all the nonsense that needs to be said, now listen up. What I want to teach you, there are no more than four people in the entire Xia Dynasty. It's a pity that one is far away in the Western Regions, the other is closed, and there is no news at all, only I am alive in front of you. So, study hard. As long as you can learn to divide one or two points, you will be guaranteed to be inexhaustible for the rest of your life! ”
What only four people in the Xia Dynasty knew? Isn't that a good thing?
The corners of Luo Bai's mouth curled, and he suddenly became a little interested.
"Before you speak, tell me about my rules: don't ask me if you don't understand, don't ask me if you don't hear everything, and don't ask me if you can't remember. Anyway, it's just a sentence, I'll only talk about anything once, whether you remember it or not, whether you learn it or not will be your business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
This gentleman is quite a character and has a good temper!
"Up to the court, to the generals, down to you, the expectation of war is nothing more than victory. But if you want to win the war, you must have the right time, place and people together, so that you can be invincible. ”
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
No matter how much nonsense this guy says, this trip is not in vain.
The corners of Luo Bai's mouth curved, calmed down, and listened carefully.
"The so-called time of day is all the favorable factors in nature. The wind just picked up when the boat was traveling, and it was the time of day; Thirst is unbearable and rains, which is also the time of day. Even, you don't have money to eat but you pick up a penny, it's all a day! ”
"When it comes to wars, there are too many of them. I'll just give you one example: why did the Xiongnu Tiele who attacked Mobei choose to be in autumn and winter? Because at that time the grass was withered and the horses were thin, and their strength was the weakest. And we have millet grains, which do not affect the horses. Isn't this positive and negative on our side? ”
This is a very simple example, but it makes the time of the day clear and clear, which makes people stunned.
Luo Bai's eyes lit up.
He has read these truths, and there are these words in "Shanguang Handbook". But those are all said in a theoretical way, and it is more of a truth, which makes people confused and do not understand the meaning.
But now, he's really enlightened.
"But don't expect everything to be going on at all times. Although there are traces to follow, they can be met but not sought. The two armies are fighting on the battlefield, and suddenly it rains, and you still expect the commanders of the two armies to stop fighting and quit their troops and return to their clothes? ”
The corners of Luo Bai's mouth curled, and he almost laughed: This gentleman can still joke!
He quickly covered his mouth and controlled his emotions.
"As for the location, it's simple. The so-called 'no tiger in the mountain, the monkey is the king', which means that the tiger and the monkey are very powerful in the mountain, but it should be difficult for them to catch two fish in the water, right? What is the geographical advantage, the geographical advantage is the terrain and environment that is beneficial to oneself. ”
"The same goes for the military. Cavalry has an advantage over infantry, but if you put cavalry in the mountains and forests, they will not be as agile as infantry. Ten percent strength, it's good to be able to play five achievements. ”
Hearing this example, Luo Bai suddenly became serious, and he suddenly understood a sentence in "Shanguang Notes", there is impermanence!
The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and there is no experience to follow.
The predecessors defeated their opponents here with this trick, is it possible that you can still replicate that kind of success today?
Respond to the enemy on the spot, and you should be improvised, so that you can succeed. Instead of sticking to the rules. That will only lead to a faster death and a more complete loss.
Luo Bai suddenly wanted to get acquainted with the gentleman who was teaching.
"Finally, we talk about people."
The time and place are favorable, and this person and finally speaking, should be the most important.
Luo Bai gathered his mind and listened quietly.
"The time and place are favorable, the time is not as good as the place, and the location is not as good as the people. So people are the most important and the most complex. ”
"But I'm a person who hates complexity the most, and I like to simplify complicated things. The so-called harmony is one's own advantage. ”
"The benefits of soldiers are people, morale is people, and food and grass are also people. But is that all there is to it? Definitely not! ”
"You can simply think about it, if you take care of the time and place, the rest is people."
This time Luo Bai didn't understand, at least not thoroughly.
Why is it clear and clear when it comes to people and people?
But he didn't ask.
Mr. said, don't ask if you don't understand.
"Didn't you understand? I know you don't understand why, because I don't want to explain. When you answer the question I asked you in the first place, you will know what a person is. ”
The gentleman's tone was a little sluggish and low, no longer as passionate as before.
"As I said, war kills people, and many people die. People know that war is cruel, but it still exists, and it has been, is, and will be. ”
Not far away, there was a "squeak" sound, like the sound of someone getting up from a wicker chair.
I think this gentleman is sitting on a rattan chair to teach them, very leisurely.
But he was leisurely, but he talked about such a heavy topic, which made people heavy.
"Do you all have yards at home?"
This is an incoherent sentence, in the dark, Luo Bai hesitated, and just wanted to answer, he heard Mr. continue: "I believe you all have." ”
This self-questioning and self-answering made Luo Bai understand a truth: those who listen to the lecture here do not need to speak.
Or rather, they only brought their ears, and their eyes and mouths were ornaments!
"So, what do you do when someone enters your yard?"
This is the fourth question that the gentleman asks tonight.
There was still silence.
In the dark, all breathing was steady, without a single wave.
The "squeak" sound sounded again, and the gentleman returned to the rattan chair and returned to a relaxed state.
"I asked a lot of questions today, so you don't have to rush to answer me. There's no need to rush to ask for answers. Because even I don't have an answer, let alone someone else? ”
The surroundings were quiet again.
Luo Bai didn't know if it was a pause or if he was finished, but no one moved, so he could only stand.
I don't know how long later, the black-armored warrior came in again, walked up to Luo Bai and said, "Let's go." ”
Luo Bai left.
