"Let's talk about it." Yang Mu's tone was flat as usual.

The lecturer was relieved, and then he spoke: "Since the empress has inquired, please allow the ministers to speak." A big war is a matter of the survival of the country, the major event of life and death, although victory or defeat is a common thing, but it can be summarized for three reasons, time, place, and people. “

"Oh?" Empress Ruan Guo was surprised that she was even more interested in such a novel statement, so she asked, "What is the time of heaven?" What is location? What is harmony? ”

"The so-called time of the day has not only the natural replacement of the four seasons, the climate such as cold, rain and snow, but also the general trend of the world. The former is easy to understand, it is nothing more than cold, damp and hot, which has an impact on the march and fighting. The latter is the strategic direction of a big war, such as the battle of the Jin, the countries occupy the righteousness and join forces to attack the Jin, this is the general trend of the vast, even if the Wu State disturbs the situation, the relationship is not big, Cao and Lan each sent 100,000 troops, but they can also become the victorious country, this is the general trend. ”

"The location is favorable, and the foreign minister has said that this is the combat environment, and the time and time complement each other."

"People are the most extensive. The will of the people can be called harmony, the unity of the soldiers can be called harmony, and the commander of an army can also be called harmony if he has great ability. ”

Empress Ruan nodded, this is the first time she has heard of this kind of discussion, and it seems to have a unique appearance, which makes her can't help but think about what these three reasons are, so her interest is getting bigger and bigger.

Sneaking a glance at Yang Mu, Empress Ruan said, "Can you tell me, which of the three has the greatest impact?" ”

The lecturer hesitated for a moment and said: "The three complement each other, no matter which one has the possibility of winning or losing, it can only be said that in ordinary wars, it is more people and factors that determine victory or defeat." ”

"Can you elaborate?"

"For example, there are six situations in which an army loses a battle: leaving, relaxing, sinking, collapsing, chaotic, and northern. The occurrence of these six situations is not due to natural disasters, but to the fault of the commander himself. In the case of equal strength, the defeat caused by one blow to ten is called "walking". The soldiers are strong, and the cowardice of the officials causes defeat, which is called "relaxation". The commander is strong, and the soldier is cowardly and defeated, it is called "trapping". If the partial general complains and does not obey the command, and when he encounters the enemy, he angrily goes out to fight without authorization, and the main general does not understand their ability, so he fails, which is called "collapse". Generals are cowardly and lack of majesty, training and education are not disciplined, relations between officers and soldiers are chaotic and tense, and the deployment of troops is chaotic and impermanent. If the commander cannot correctly judge the enemy's situation, he strikes the enemy with a small number of people, and the weak attack on the strong, and there is no elite vanguard unit in the battle, so he is defeated, which is called "north". The above six situations are the causes of failure, and they are the great responsibility of the general. ”

After the lecturer finished speaking, he was very apprehensive, and secretly glanced at Yang Mu's face, worried that he would leak too much of the art of war, so he turned to say: "For the general, treat the soldier like a baby, so the soldier can go to trouble with him; Treat the soldier as if he were a beloved son, so that the soldier can live and die with him. If you treat your soldiers favorably but cannot use them, if you spoil them but you can't educate them, and if you can't punish them for breaking the law, then you can't use them to fight the enemy, just like your spoiled children. ”

Empress Ruan Guo was listening with relish, and kept nodding her head, when suddenly the lecturer's voice stopped abruptly, so she was surprised: "What else?" ”

"This ...... Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the foreign minister can't remember it for a while, so he only knows so much. The lecturer panicked and said.

“……”

Empress Ruan Guo has been in a high position for a long time, and her mind is naturally delicate, and she can see at a glance that the lecturer is lying, but when she thinks of the reason, she doesn't pursue it, she just glances at Yang Mu lightly, revealing a meaningful expression.

Yang Mu spread his hands, made an innocent appearance, and said: "You didn't look at me, I didn't say a word, it's normal for others to forget, it's normal for people to understand." ”

Empress Ruan snorted coldly, turned her head and said to Yang Mu, "Why don't we discuss it again?" ”

Let's discuss......

Yang Mu suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to bring her to this camp, why did he want to turn into his arms as soon as he saw something good, the relationship between the two didn't seem to be familiar enough to distinguish each other, right?

"If you don't discuss this, you don't have to talk about it." Yang Mu shook his head and refused.

Yang Mu's resolute appearance made the Empress Ruan Guo very annoyed, but there was no way, who let Cangguo have so many coveted things, Ruan Guo can compare with it, except for being richer and more profound, it seems that there are no other advantages.

"You! Damn it! ”

The Empress of Ruan Guo left a sentence, and then ignored Yang Mu at all, and said directly to the lecturer: "Mr. has great talents, deigning to a small military camp is really a jewel in the dust, if Mr. can enter my Ruan country, there will be high-ranking officials to treat me Ruan Guo and help me Ruan Guo Tong, Mr. Cheng is full of talent and learning, I hope Mr. Don't postpone it." ”

The soldiers were stunned by the words of the Empress Ruan, and knew that the other party had misunderstood, and was about to explain.

But seeing that the Empress Ruan Guo was even more impatient, she hurriedly said: "Your emperor owes me a great favor, and he will not obstruct him, you can rest assured that I can ensure that you are safe and sound, and you will not joke." ”

This sentence was said without hesitation, as if it was true, and after speaking, he glared at Yang Mu with his eyes, as if it should be like this.

Yang Mu scolded secretly in his heart, sure enough, it is difficult for a villain and a woman to raise, in the case of the two being equal, the Empress Ruan Guo is not polite at all, didn't she just slap her ass, but she really wanted to owe her a big debt.

It's just unreasonable!

"Your Majesty is right, the foreign minister is just a small official, and he really can't be called a big talent, as for entering the Ruan State as an official, the foreign minister should be a joke from His Majesty." The lecturer bowed politely, neither humble nor arrogant.

Empress Ruan was a little surprised, after all, the conditions she offered were not low, and she was personally invited by the emperor of a country, and by the way, she dispelled her doubts, which was a blessing for a small official, but he refused without hesitation.

In anyone's opinion, this is a stupid act.

Could it be that the ethereal patriotic heart of the loyal monarch?

After living in Cangguo for a long time, the Empress Ruan knew that there was a wave in Cangguo, whether it was the scholars or the common people, who talked about loyalty and patriotism all day long, as if they were comparing.

In all fairness, she is also very envious of this situation in Cangguo, but she has never believed that in the face of great interests, someone can refuse without changing her face.

This really made her very unwilling.

In fact, if she knew the truth, she would be speechless, because in her eyes, a talented lecturer is just reading from a book, and she is not a powerful person.
