The season of apricot blossoms is coming, the spring breeze is like a post post, Lu Bu is galloping alone on the path full of spring and ying, and his mood is extremely urgent.

He stopped in front of an abandoned ancestral hall, jumped up the steps with agility, and walked straight in, an old beggar stood in front of the hall, his hands in his sleeves, his eyes squinted, as if the sun was too dazzling: "You are here." ”

Lu Bu hurriedly saluted: "Mr. has been hiding here for a few days, so that I can find it very hard." ”

The beggar pulled his head over his shoulders and raised his hand slightly: "Follow me." ”

Lu Bu agreed, tended to keep up with the beggar, and when the door was pushed open, Lu Bu was stunned by the scene in front of him.

A huge sand table is in front of you, the cities and passes, mountains and rivers of the empire are condensed in the middle, and the sand table pedestal is engraved with a strong big character - Han.

The beggar rubbed his beard and said: "With this thing, the situation in the world is clear, whether it is a war example that has occurred or an imaginary battle method, it can be reproduced and deduced on it, do you want to try it?" ”

Lu Bu rubbed his fists, eager to try, the beggar stroked his hair and smiled, stepped forward to take the black figurine in his hand, Lu Bu followed, took the white figurine in his hand, and the deduction began.

The mountains are steep, the mountain wind is swirling, and an army swaggers through the valley, and the tooth flag flutters fiercely.

Suddenly, on the calm mountaintop, golden drums sounded in unison, flags covered the sky, and another army that had been dormant for a long time roared out, and the shouts resounded through the valley, and boulders and rolling logs roared down.

The ambushed army panicked and wanted to retreat, but the road was rugged, only a line away, the front army retreated, but the chaotic rear army was blocked behind, disturbing each other back and forth, and could not move even half a step, and the whole team was sealed in the valley.

In an instant, thousands of ambush troops on the two mountains stood up, and the fierce and cold sword light cut off the sunlight falling between the mountain passes, and the victorious army took off the tooth banner of the defeated army.

Lu Bu pulled out the enemy's tooth flag in his hand and smiled at the old man: "Sir, I won!" ”

The beggar looked up at him and said lazily, "You haven't won yet!" ”

"Why?"

The old beggar rubbed his beard and said: "First, it is necessary to choose the time to lure the enemy into depth, at this time the sun is full, and it is difficult to hide the ambush; 2. It is only the enemy's forward that has been ambushed, the rear army has not yet appeared, and you have attacked too early, and if the enemy's main force learns that the advance has been annihilated, it will definitely change the route of the march; 3. This is a desperate stream, which is taboo for soldiers, if you feign defeat with a light challenge, the enemy may pursue, but seeing this danger, it will not necessarily be dangerous, and the ambush place is not well chosen. ”

Lu Bu slowly lowered the tooth flag: "Then what should I do?" ”

The beggar used his tooth banner to scratch between the sand: "The art of war is cloudy, and it is best to set up an ambush at dusk, and the sky is dark, and the ambush is not easy to detect, this is one of them; You can let the striker pass and wait for the main force to come before giving the military order, and that's the other thing; If you set up an ambush in a desperate stream, you must have to fight for the advantage in this dangerous place, such as our grain and grass land, in order to lure the enemy deeper, and third. ”

The beggar paused: "However, this is just an ordinary strategy, if you stick to the art of war, you are reading the book of death, and the actual battle is changing rapidly, and the main general is the one who can judge the situation and not change the power, then he is defeated." ”

Lu Bu had an epiphany: "As Mr. said, the situation on both sides of the war will constantly change in victory and defeat. ”

The beggar grinned: "The child can be taught." ”

At this moment, Lu Bu finally knows the importance of reading, not only "Zhou Yi", I am afraid that even "Spring and Autumn" and "Bagua" hide swords.

From this day on, beggars will conduct tactical deductions on the sand table, either attacking or defending, or attacking or field, or being in an advantage or being at a disadvantage.

What Lu Bu has to do is how to turn disadvantages into advantages, how to break the city when attacking the city, how to defend the city when living in the city, the complicated and treacherous between square inches, and the rapidly changing battlefield situation, how can it be described by the rigid dogma in the war book.

Lu Bu was intoxicated, forgetting to sleep and eat, fighting thousands of miles once, galloping ten thousand horses, and how many times he met in the wind and clouds, Lu Bu gradually matured in one fiasco after another.

He often thinks that the old man who is so weak in front of him is actually riding the thunder with his troops, and behind those warriors, there seems to be a god of war who is dominating the ups and downs.

※※※※※

"There is a time when the loss of rigidity and softness, the profit and loss are surplus and empty, and the time is ......"

Lu Bu silently read the loss hexagram in the "Book of Changes", wanting to search for the key points of the art of war, but unfortunately this sentence was obscure, and he read it more than ten times, but he still couldn't find a clue.

"The momentum of trapping the enemy, not fighting, losing the rigidity and softness, is to wait for work."

When he saw the annotations under the hexagram, he seemed to find a glimmer of enlightenment in a trance, like the feeling that the dawn was about to break through the darkness.

"The most important thing in this plan is not rigidity and softness, but the conversion between the two, this is the essence of waiting for work, work and rest are not immutable, with the change of the situation between the two sides of the war, the two sides of work and rest may change at any time, this so-called waiting, is not a passive waiting, but like a favorable direction to actively promote the change of work and rest."

Lu Bu used the knowledge taught by the beggar to try to analyze the strategy of waiting for work.

"General!" Wei Yue's voice sounded from outside the door.

Lu Bu was falling into deep contemplation, he didn't raise his head, and looked at every word on the bamboo slip seriously.

"General!" Wei Yue shouted again.

"What?" Lu Bu frowned, but still didn't raise his head.

Wei Yue glanced at the five scribes beside him, and said stubbornly, "There is a guest visiting." ”

Lu Bu still didn't look up: "Who?" ”

"The man has arrived."

Lu Bu was stunned, and suddenly raised his head, only to see six people standing in the hall, in addition to Wei Yue, there were five middle-aged people with dignified appearances.

Lu Bu immediately put down the book in his hand and smiled apologetically: "I haven't greeted you from afar, please forgive me!" ”

The five of them looked at each other and smiled, and one of them was a little older than a scribe and said: "In Xia Xu Feng, a native of Hedong, he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to serve as the commander of Linrong County. ”

It seems that the matter of punishing the four county commanders is worry-free, Lu Bu concealed the surprise in his heart, and said quietly: "Look up for a long time!" ”

"In Xia Wei Hui, a native of Nie County, he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to serve as the commander of Woye County!"

"In Xia Shenlang, a native of Yongzhou, under the edict of the Son of Heaven, went to Dacheng County Order!"

"In Xia Fu Xu, a native of Pengcheng, under the edict of the Son of Heaven, he went to serve as three county orders!"

"In Xia Cui Qi, a native of Hexi, under the edict of the Son of Heaven, he went to serve as the order of Shuofang County!"

The remaining four people have reported their homes, all of them are county orders to Shuofang, and now the county orders of the five counties are missing, and Lu Bu is worried that there is no one to govern, and every time he wants to come to five.

Xu Feng took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, respectfully handed it to Lu Bu, and reported: "This is an official document, please show it to you." ”

Lu Bu took the bamboo slip, read it roughly, and then closed it: "Shuofang has been in turmoil several times, the people's livelihood is ruined, the city houses have become barren hills, the reconstruction is imminent, and the spring sowing is urgent, and the affairs of the counties are laborious." ”

They also have a general understanding of Lu Bu's deeds, although he is not well-known in the Han Dynasty, but he is famous in the border county, and last autumn he fought hundreds of miles, killing the Hu people and fleeing.

After going to Shuofang County Guard, he was not afraid of power and punished five corrupt officials one after another, which caused a huge sensation in the DPRK and China, and won the reputation of the court and the court, and many people wanted to see the monarch's face.

When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, vigorous and meticulous, this is the unanimous evaluation of him by the five people.
