Chapter 61: Military Affairs

Just like every time he was tired, Ye Tao exchanged eyes with Tan Weixin after being polite with those who had to deal with it, and after a tacit glance at each other, he hurried back home.

It was probably a dozen hours later that he was woken up by the sound of Sisissoso. Sophie Marceau, curled up beside him, rested her chin affectionately on his arm, staring at the bedroom door, listening to the childish voice that was trying to suppress it, but it was still clearly immature. Subsequently, Sophie Marceau shook Ye Tao awake. I don't know if it's the habit of the previous life or this life, after waking up, looking at a beautiful face, smelling the soft long brown hair hanging on the face, Ye Tao subconsciously hugged Sophie Marceau and imprinted his own kiss on her warm lips - and this was not intimate enough to go beyond the current scale between the two of them The action still made Sophie Marceau shyly hide back in the quilt.

The voice coming from the door was extremely suspicious, and it sounded as if Dai Qiuyan and Tan Weiying were together.

"Ye Tao hasn't gotten up yet, has he...... Is he really that tired? ”

"Yes, he often sleeps for a long time when he's tired, but he should be almost awake by now."

"Okay, you can wake him up for me."

"You're not going in?" The voice seemed a little curious, a little questioning.

"Hey," the little princess seemed a little shy and a little angry, "he's your man, you can go into his bedroom at will, what's the point if I go in?" ”

"Oh." Dai Qiuyan's voice was still so ignorant. But she pushed the door open anyway and crept to the warm, soft bed she knew so well.

When Dai Qiuyan opened the satin bed tent outside the four-poster bed, which was already unclear, she was startled by Ye Tao's sober eyes with some doubts, and then she skillfully kicked off her shoes, jumped on the bed, pulled a large pillow filled with soft goose down, hugged it in her arms, and leaned into Ye Tao's arms. Affectionately asked, "Brother Ye, did you wake up?" The little princess has been waiting for you for a long time, but Brother Lu can't handle it, so I will take Her Royal Highness the princess down to find you, will you get up now? ”

"What is that girl coming to me for again?" Ye Tao asked.

Dai Qiuyan shook her head and said, "I don't know, I came in the morning, and when I said that you were sleeping, she went to the Yizhan Building to watch chess, and came over again." It's like there's something to tell you, and it's not like there's something. ”

Dai Qiuyan is a very well-behaved girl. Although she is always quiet, doesn't talk much, and rarely gives ideas on anything, even if she has any ideas, she only timidly tells Ye Tao when others are away, but her soft heart makes her seem to have some kind of talent, some kind of talent that can look into other people's scheming. She is always intuitively aware of other people's moods and thoughts. And she always seems to be able to reassure her to pour out her thoughts.

Ye Tao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get up." Have you had lunch? ”

Ye Tao jumped out of bed and began to get dressed. Sophie Marceau blushed and got out of the quilt and served Ye Tao to change clothes. Dai Qiuyan sat on the edge of the bed, shook her feet, and said, "No." Her Royal Highness said that someone had a treat for lunch. Let me stop eating yet, it's afternoon now, I don't know if I have lunch yet. ”

When the bedroom door was reopened, Tan Weiying was already anxious as if she was about to start jumping, and the moment she saw Ye Tao, she settled down so much, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Finally woke up." My uncle is looking for you, go quickly. I'm going to starve to death. ”

Tan Weiying's uncle is naturally the general Zhuo Mang. Although I don't know what Zhuo Mang is looking for him, no matter what, Ye Tao also understands that letting Zhuo Mang wait for him to eat seems to be ...... Something out of line. And to invite him to dinner, do you need to send an envoy of Tan Weiying's level? Ye Tao believes that he is far less important.

When walking side by side with Ye Tao through the garden of the General's Mansion and the promenade. Tan Weiying asked with some hesitation: "Those words were said when I explained yesterday." Did you come up with it? ”

"Do you know what it's about?" Ye Tao asked with a smile.

Tan Weiying nodded and said, "Hmm." After losing the chess, I went back to the embroidery garden and cried. Later, my sister came to me and told me about your explanation, and this morning, someone from my sister's house sent me a transcript of all the explanations from yesterday...... You said me so well...... I wish I was the princess in the story...... It's a pity I'm so useless. ”

"It's only when you really have the opportunity to face something like that that that that you can see if you're useful. You're our little princess. Ye Tao didn't want to coax Wei Ying, although Her Royal Highness Princess Xiu was a little willful, but she was a well-bred child, and true kindness was easier for her to accept than hypocritical coaxing.

Tan Weiying nodded, and then said a little frustratedly: "It's a pity that I'm too useless, and then I think about it, I could have won yesterday." That's winning Chi Yun, alas, it's not up to him to let me. I always let me play Keju with those forbidden soldiers and guards, and I don't feel happy when I win......"

Born in an imperial family, sometimes it means a lot of loss of fun, if it weren't for Tan Weixin, a sister who came from the same era as Ye Tao and was still trying to influence the people around her with her own ability, if it weren't for Ye Tao, a person with the idea of equality of all living beings in her bones, Tan Weixin's life might be a lot less fun.

If it weren't for the heavy guarded eyes of the Great General's Mansion, Ye Tao would probably caress the top of Tan Weiying's head like a sister who is pampered by him. But he didn't dare to do it at the moment, he smiled slightly, and said, "You will be a good princess, and when you grow up, prove it to us." ”

That undoubted tone was already an excellent encouragement to Tan Weiying, Tan Weiying nodded vigorously, and then she took a step back, grabbed the hand of Dai Qiuyan, who was called by her, and did not belong to the invitation of the general Zhuo Mang, but would never be refused, and this friend who was very similar to her held hands and whispered, walking side by side behind Ye Tao. She naturally understands how shocking such a move will be in the eyes of others. Ye Tao is trespassing at this moment, even if it is a passive trespassing. are enough to be punished with capital punishment. But now, in Dongping and Danyang, there is absolutely no one who will risk the world's disapproval when many people are optimistic about Ye Tao.

Ye Tao, Dai Qiuyan, and Tan Weiying, who were belated, did not catch up with the lunch at the General's Mansion after all. But the general's order, delicate snacks and sweet hot orange tea were enough to soothe the hunger of several of them. Zhuo Mang's invitation is not just Ye Tao. In the room where the huge sand table was placed, Chi Yun and the other backbones of the forbidden army were impressively listed.

Zhuo Mang raised his hand lightly and held Ye Tao, Ye Tao's salute was so frozen, and he couldn't kneel down. "Don't be so polite, come to my house, it's either business or a friend, don't you understand this rule? Chi Yun's gang are subordinates. It's not good for them to break the rules of the army, so you don't have to be so polite. ”

Zhuo Mang boldly pulled Ye Tao to the edge of the sand table, pointed to the situation of yesterday's game on the sand table, and said to Ye Tao: "I asked you to come to see how this situation should change." ”

Chi Yun and the others' attitude towards Ye Tao was humble and respectful. Especially Chiyun. Ye Taodi's explanation yesterday simply shaped him into a hero who was full of compassion in his heart, but could fight decisively. Whether such an image corresponds to the facts or not, on an occasion when there are so many high-ranking officials and generals. Even if there is only one impression, it will be quite beneficial to Chi Yun's future career development.

"Then it's ugly," seeing that he must refuse, Ye Tao simply didn't hide it, pointing to some chess pieces on the chessboard, he began to explain some places from his own point of view, from the perspective of the game, maybe Chi Yun and the others handled it inappropriately. At the same time, he also pointed out many omissions on the side of Tan Weiying. The game is just a game, no matter how close this game is to reality, any way of thinking about the problem from a real point of view may lead to a less than good result, in Ye Tao's narrative, Tan Weiying's side did better than Chi Yun's side. But no matter who it is, they can hear that Ye Tao has some reservations after all.

"If it weren't for your resume. And everything is well documented. I almost thought you were an old fritter who had been in the ranks for years. Zhuo Mang smiled and said, "Just now." We talked about the question, how exactly do you know what those classes are capable of? And how can you be aware of the mentality of the soldiers at the bottom? It's just so much fun. I summoned many veterans and veterans in the army to inquire about the types of troops you listed, and looked at the values and calculations you set...... Belch...... formula, in fact, can only single out a few biases. ”

Ye Tao naturally wouldn't say that he had an understanding of the mentality of the low-level soldiers, because in the era in which he lived, countless movies, TV series, and comics had shifted their focus away from those tall and all-earth heroes, and worked hard to depict the lives of ordinary soldiers, and tried to depict the struggles of ordinary people in the life and death field in more detail. Anyone, after reading so many works, if he can't come up with a generalized result, then his IQ must be questionable. As for the numerical settings between the different classes, it took countless game planners and even mathematicians a long time to determine and constantly modify to achieve a relatively perfect balance.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Tao said with some embarrassment: "I don't dare to say how much I know the mood of the soldiers in the army, it's just that I put myself in my shoes." Although many of the troops in Grand Strategy are imaginary, they have also been tested by many players before the official release, and after many adjustments, they have the current detailed design. There must still be many omissions in it, and I would like to ask the general to correct it. ”

Zhuo Mang waved his hand and said, "...... Correction? That doesn't seem like something an old man like me can do, and I can't figure it out if I put the numbers in the formula. I'm looking for you today, and there's one more thing. Chi Yun said that some of the troops in your grand strategy seem to be ...... It's funny. He suggested that I try to build some in the army and see how it works. The heavy infantry is definitely going to try to train a group in Danyang, as for the rest, what do you suggest? ”

Ye Tao was stunned. It's true that there are many classes in the grand strategy game, and none of them have appeared in any country's military formation. Or, it has never been specifically subdivided. For example, in the grand strategy gameplay, the scout cavalry is listed as a separate class, and the functions of the light cavalry overlap greatly but are not exactly the same, this expensive class is not often used, but, apparently, in yesterday's battle, Chi Lei's extravagant use of the scout cavalry and the huge role played by the scout cavalry made Chi Yun and others re-read the introduction and various settings of the class on the rulebook, and had a sense of it. As for the sword and shield infantry, which is very advantageous in street fighting, the lancers who emphasize the impact of the battlefield, and so on...... These are all things that Ye Tao can't explain clearly. What can't be explained clearly is why Ye Tao was able to carve each subdivision of the army so lifelike when designing the chess pieces, not only the rough image, but even the weapons, equipment, and some accessories that each class needs to be equipped with are presented on those chess pieces. Sometimes, Ye Tao hates his perfectionism and realism in this regard.

"Uncle," sat on the side, well-fed, and Tan Wei Ying began to interject into their conversation, "do you mean to turn those beautiful chess pieces into real soldiers?" That's a lot of fun. ”

Zhuo Mang smiled and said: "If you really want to get it, it starts with the forbidden army, this kind of thing that costs a lot of money, I don't count it, you still have to pester your sister." ”

Tan Weiying pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I'll go talk to my sister." I have a few guys in my hands right now who say they want to play in the military. ”

Tan Weixin, who would do whatever she thought, really went to Tan Weixin that night to talk about it, and to her surprise, Tan Weixin didn't object to the matter, but just said that she had no money in her hand now. Under the pressure of several mega-projects one after another, the Inner Government is now relatively empty, and almost all of it is put into operation, except for the money to meet daily expenses and a part of the emergency reserve. Especially for the reconstruction of Danyang City, the consumption of funds has made Tan Weixin a little tired to deal with, if it were not for the active participation of those merchants and officials in Danyang, I am afraid that the inner treasury has bottomed out now.
