Chapter 20: Spring and Autumn and the Art of War
King Liang did not answer, nodded silently, the power of the King of Chu is obvious to all, everyone is jealous, and it is not just him, besides, he is just a puppet emperor, what can he do?
Xu Wen glanced at An Le Hou, seemed to see through what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't disturb Lord Hou, although the King of Chu has a rich foundation and can make good use of people, he is not afraid."
"Ben Hou is willing to hear the details" An Lehou knows that Xu Wen is extraordinary, from the old horse who jumped the mountain to know the way, and broke the two battles of Fengyang, it can be said that there are many clever plans, and when he hears it at the moment, he can't help but ask, and at the same time his heart is secretly thinking "If you can hear a few words, you can also make more chances for yourself in the future"
Xu Wendao "Since ancient times, there have been geniuses in northern Hebei, but the king of Chu is also proficient in the way of using soldiers, and has always been trusted, so that wizards dare not serve the king, although they are able to make good use of them, but their subordinates are all mediocre people, and there are very few capable people, and sooner or later they will be defeated."
Xu Wen's words really went to An Lehou's heart, he was shocked again, he didn't expect Xu Wen to be able to break through the mind of King Chu at a glance, and couldn't help but look at Xu Wen with both eyes, showing a look of approval.
At this time, King Liang also put down the teacup, looked at Xu Wen and said, "Mr. is really in a word, although the King of Chu occupies one side, but this king also knows a lot, and there is not much to say about Mr."
Although Xu Wen commented on the King of Chu like this, An Lehou was also very worried, thinking to himself, "Even if this is the case, but the power is huge, it will still be a disaster after all" and opened his mouth to ask, "I wonder if Mr. Xu has a way to restrain the King of Chu, after all, 500,000 soldiers and horses are placed there, how can people not be afraid?"
On the one hand, An Lehou's words seem to help King Liang, and on the other hand, he also has his own thoughts.
On the side, the empress Liang Wang didn't know why at all, and also nodded, as if she also wanted to ask Xu Wen
After half a month of getting along, Xu Wen and An Lehou have already figured him out, where do you not know his little cleverness, smiled faintly, and said, "The king of Chu has long been in the north of Hebei, the east region of Hedong for many years, if you talk about checks and balances, the Liang Dynasty should be checks and balances, and now, the tiger's teeth are complete, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bind him anymore."
Hearing Xu Wen say this, King Liang couldn't help frowning, and An Lehou suddenly became anxious, and said, "Sir, can't you think of any way if you are so talented?" ”
Xu Wen shook his head, he didn't want to talk about it in front of An Lehou, but when he looked at it, he saw that King Liang Shui Lingling's big eyes also showed a hint of hope, but he was afraid that he was also very worried in his heart, he couldn't bear it, so he said, "Now, if you want to restrain the King of Chu, you can only take risks, regardless of life and death, and form an alliance with the princes, isolate him first, and then make a decision."
After listening, An Lehou fell into deep thought, and what Xu Wen said was quite reasonable.
But he has not been in the court for many years, and he has no correspondence with other princes, and his relationship is estranged, which makes him regretful.
There are only a few Hou Ye who have a very good relationship with him, but they all occupy one acre and three points of land, which is not of much use at all.
For a while, I didn't know how many marquis there were attached to the King of Chu, and if I acted rashly, I was afraid that I hadn't isolated the King of Chu yet, and I would be harmed by the King of Chu first.
King Liang was even more worried, looking very worried
If you talk about power and old friends, An Lehou is better, but she doesn't have a single acre of land, and only one father who is not a small force has also been harmed by Wang Taigong
Now, he has his uncle An Lehou who is sitting opposite, but he is unpredictable and can't guess what he is thinking, and he no longer plans to count on it.
is already a real loner, and every time I think of this, my heart is extremely sad.
She raised her hand to pick up the teacup on the table, took another sip, and silently recited in her heart, "How far away is the day of the restoration of the beam"
Xu Wen looked at King Liang, and when he saw that he looked sad, he didn't speak anymore, just shook his head, took out his handbook from his arms again, and looked down.
An Lehou seemed to want to ask, but seeing that Liang Wang Xu Wen looked like he didn't want to say any more, he held back his words again.
"King Liang has been bothered recently, and he should take a good rest, if there is nothing else, his subordinates will retreat first" Speaking of this, An Lehou seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way, Mr. helped me break the enemy before, and made great contributions, and now after this time, it is time to stay by the prince's side"
To tell the truth, An Lehou originally wanted to kill Xu Wen to control the king of Liang, but after the previous battle, An Lehou turned to the intention of wanting to take it for his own use, so he did not attack Xu Wen.
King Liang waved his hand and said, "Uncle, let's go down and rest, after a battle, it must be sleepy."
It's a pity that King Liang, at this time, didn't know An Lehou's thoughts, opened his mouth and closed his uncle, wanting to win over and stand on his side.
"This is what the subordinates should do, and the subordinates retire" Although An Lehou was called his uncle by King Liang, he still didn't dare to cross the bottom line, and still called himself a subordinate.
After An Lehou left, King Liang slowly raised his head, looked at Xu Wen, and asked, "Mr. and Uncle have been getting along for a while, what do you think of him, do you have any other thoughts?" ”
An Lehou is his uncle after all, in the end, he can't believe it in his heart, but he is now on the cusp, and all the princes are eyeing him, he must think through everyone in order to have a foothold.
This time to attack Wang Taigong, King Liang sent Xu Wen to accompany him, and he really wanted to inquire about the details of An Lehou.
"Although An Lehou doesn't have a big strategy, but he has some thoughts, so far the villain has not found any clues, but in a few words, he also knows a little."
Xu Wen knew King Liang's intentions, so he secretly paid attention to An Lehou, but after this period of getting along, he didn't have any handle for him to grasp, and he was telling the truth.
"Uncle is like this, I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, but it makes this king embarrassed" King Liang sighed, quite helpless.
He has the intention to win over An Lehou, after all, he is also a clan relative, and it is better to take it for his own use than for outsiders, but An Lehou pretends to be deep, which makes it difficult to judge.
Seeing this, Xu Wen said, "King Liang doesn't have to worry, this past time is still long, you can wait for it to show its feet."
Xu Wen's eyes swept over King Liang's face, he knew that King Liang cared about the feelings of his clan and didn't want to believe that An Lehou would have a dislike for Da Liang, but according to his understanding, An Lehou was proud of his heart, and he was definitely unwilling to live under others.
"Hey!"
King Liang sighed lowly, feeling a lot and having mixed feelings
Xu Wen glanced out of the window, and saw that it was not early, and it was getting late, so he put away the codex, bowed down and said, "The villain will not disturb the prince to sleep, and the villain will retire."
"Sir!"
Xu Wen opened the door and was about to go out, but as soon as he raised his right foot, he heard King Liang shouting and couldn't help but turn around.
He was a little surprised and asked, "Lord Wang, is there anything else?" ”
"Sir, can you come to help this king analyze the book of "Spring and Autumn" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" every morning and evening in the future, this book is profound, difficult to understand, and this king wants to ask for advice from Mr."
"Why does the prince like to read some military books recently" Xu Wen was a little surprised
According to his understanding of King Liang, King Liang has always liked to read some holy books such as "Historical Records" and "Confucian Classics", why did he suddenly like to read these military books?
"Spring and Autumn" is reported, is the ancient Warring States period of the famous generals of the book, covering a wide range, including a variety of terrain and landforms, as well as the great wisdom of judging the situation, this book not only has a lot of schemes, but also has a magnificent atmosphere of the world, every time you read it, it makes people shake the heart, it seems to be able to shake the world, extremely amazing, is a rare masterpiece.
Xu Wen is familiar with all kinds of books on the art of war, proficient in the way of strategy, and naturally has read it, but he has not understood all the great wisdom, let alone him, I am afraid that there are few people today who can understand it all.
"This king is not a whim, but I read some miscellaneous books such as Confucianism before, wasting a lot of energy of this king, and now, in troubled times, it is always good to study the so-called power and strategy, and the way of using soldiers."
Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the literature has been lightly armed, which led to Wang Taigong and his ministers taking power, launching a mutiny, and ruining the Liang Dynasty.
And Liang Wang is a female streamer, who has been instilled with the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and now, she actually thinks of reading the art of war, which makes Xu Wen feel very pleased, and for some reason, a trace of joy rises in her heart.
Seeing that Xu Wen had never spoken, King Liang was afraid that Xu Wen would not give him advice, and said, "Mr. is very smart, knows the past, and is familiar with military books, so he will definitely get the essence of it, and I hope Mr. will advise."
Xu Wen may still be responsible for being a smart person, but knowing the past, it is obvious that he is praising Xu Wen.
Xu Wen came back to his senses and said, "The prince is making fun of the villain again"
"Mr. doesn't have to be too humble, this king should know Mr. ability" When he was in Xujia Village, King Liang once talked to Xu Wen about the general trend of the world, and Xu Wen said that the head was the Tao, what vertical and horizontal, what alliance, etc., King Liang had never heard of it, which shocked King Liang.
"The prince values the villain so much, and the villain should bow to the professor" Xu Wen bowed and saluted
"Sir can come tomorrow morning, go down and rest now, so as not to delay tomorrow's class" King Liang smiled slightly, dimples appeared on his face, there was a playful beauty, and cuteness.
