Wang Kuiyi said, and others also understood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Think about defeat before you win.

This is not unfamiliar to everyone present, and those who have been in contact with the art of war understand the meaning, but when it is really practiced, it is not so simple, after all, everyone likes the sweetness of victory, and who wants to think about the tragic situation after defeat before the army is moved.

Chen Zhi This is also a habit developed in his previous life, when he was a fledgling, with a lottery holder, he looked down on the heroes of the world, thinking that he could be invincible, and after a few victories, he was a little fluttering, and as a result, he caused an injury, almost breaking his muscles and bones, and since then he has developed the habit of finding a retreat route before doing things.

With Chen Zhi's reminder, Wang Cai also wanted to take precautions, and said: "Do you want to divide a team of men and horses in advance, in case the soldiers and horses in this decisive battle fail, this divided manpower can also be used as an ambush, how about this idea?" ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zhi eagerly, looking forward to Chen Zhi's evaluation.

Several other people also looked at Chen Zhi, but Wang Kui and Liu Kan both felt that this idea was not very good, but before Chen Zhi gave an evaluation, they did not dare to judge rashly - invisibly, they all attached importance to Chen Zhi's judgment.

Chen Zhi shook his head directly and said: "The soldiers are not expensive, the soldiers and horses in the decisive battle are elite soldiers, in other words, the number is not much, and if the troops are divided, the combat power will be seriously attenuated, which is equivalent to attacking the enemy's strength with their own shortcomings, notify the counties and garrisons in front, and make preparations in advance. ”

The implication is very clear, so many advantages gathered together have not won, hurry back to train the troops, the work of fighting is really not suitable for this team, so don't chase it, you can't afford to lose that person.

The implication in the words is not good, but the reason is clear, Wang Cai choked for a moment, then laughed, scratched his head and said: "Brother Chen is right, what should I do later?" ”

Chen Zhi put his hands in his sleeves, his expression turned relaxed, and said: "It is not a matter of the first army in the future, if this can't be stopped, the thief army will completely get out of the siege and loot one or two Jianghuai counties, it will be a matter of shaking the imperial court, and it will rise from the military level to the political level, it will not be the scope of today's discussion, unless Brother Wang can influence other garrisons, then I will come up with some ideas." ”

"I see, this is indeed the truth, then it is time to worry about the court." Wang Cai ignored Chen Zhi's temptation and looked satisfied, "This trip to Xuzhou is really worth it!" ”

Liu Kan also smiled and said: "My Pengcheng is really handsome and virtuous, and my nephew is too low-key on weekdays, this is not good, if you are talented, you should show it, otherwise what's the point of being unknown?" ”

Liu Yi on the side couldn't help muttering, this young master of the Chen family was also famous in the past, but he was not on the right path.

Xiao Zuo said with a smile: "Whether this matter can be solved is still two words, but with this analysis of the virtuous nephew, the situation is much clearer, what do you say, Wang Gongzi?" ”

Everyone present guessed that this question of Wang Cai is not a simple topic, I am afraid that it involves practical matters, but it is difficult to find out about military affairs, so it can only be hinted at like this.

Wang Cai nodded heavily and said, "Brother Chen's analysis and suggestions are of great help. ”

Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, completely abandoned prejudice and anger, nodded lightly, and said: "Compared with the understanding of the virtuous nephew, my little shallow opinion is really a little taken for granted. Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, he was also a single, so he simply wanted to go to the end and directly admit that he was inferior to Chen Zhi in the art of war.

Before Chen Zhi came over, Wang Cai had already mentioned this matter, but a few people went around, saying that in the clouds, it did not involve the specific method of marching and arranging, and compared with Chen Zhi's analysis and layout, anyone with a discerning eye knew which one was useful.

At present, although there is a tendency in society to advocate retreat, when it comes to specific questions, people who can give answers will be admired at all times.

In the corner, the woman dressed as a man also stopped her pen, glanced at Juanxiu's handwriting on the paper, nodded lightly, a pair of black and white eyes turned lightly, and her gaze fell on Chen Zhi.

While several people were courting, Chen Zhi clearly felt that the copper coin in his heart trembled violently, and the halo on the surface reappeared, much brighter than the last time.

"Sure enough!"

Such a change did not surprise Chen Zhi, but made him confirm his guess.

"Talking about Taoism with people, you can really gather halos, and when you draw lots, you can get what you need most at the moment, thinking about it, maybe a place like Guijing Academy is indeed suitable for me to settle down, and the two cooperate to help quickly raise hope."

While he was thinking, Wang Cai clapped his hands, beckoned to the maidservant, and said, "Patronizing it, I forgot to entertain Brother Chen, this is my sin." ”

Chen Zhi smiled and said nothing, if he didn't show his knowledge, how could he be treated politely by the person in front of him? He hasn't figured out the origin of Wang Kui yet, but just looking at Wang Kui's attitude towards him, he can get a clue.

Soon, the servants put on the table the wine and food, and the crowd chatted.

In fact, the imperial court has a ban on alcohol, and Xuzhou has experienced floods and droughts, so this wine can not be drunk freely, and it will bottom out after a few glasses, but it will not hinder a few people in Yaxing at all.

During the banquet, Liu Kan and Zhang Yong pulled Chen Zhi to talk about knowledge, Chen Zhi avoided it in the name of shallow knowledge, just a discussion on the art of war, he has been out of the limelight, too much, the people present are either extraordinary, or very famous, now they value you, sing and laugh with you, but if you think that you can step on them to become famous, it is a big mistake.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi's low-key performance made several people nod secretly, and even Zhang Yong looked at Chen Zhi more and more pleasing to the eye, and had the idea of making friends sincerely, and reviewed his behavior just now.

Liu Kan and others actually saw that Chen Zhi had a lot of future, and he would soon have the same reputation as himself and others, of course, he had to make friends in advance.

In the heartfelt and unintentional conversation, the relationship between several people became closer and closer, Chen Zhi touched it, felt that the time was ripe, so he took a moment and said to Wang Kui: "I have heard of Your Excellency's name a long time ago, and I can only see it today." ”

"It's over, my reputation is nothing at all, it's just that I read more books, but I can only get in, not out, and I can't be praised." As he spoke, Wang Kui smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Speaking of fame, when I passed through Wuyuan County, I heard about Brother Chen's reputation." Wang Cai leaned over, his face full of wine.

"Wuyuan County?" As soon as Chen Zhi heard it, he knew that it was the matter of the Wuyuan Wang family, and Wang Chuan came all the way to ask for words and wrote a "Bright Moon Fu".

Wuyuan Wang's family is a branch of the Langya Wang family, Wang Cai came to Xuzhou, and it is normal to pass there, but his reputation should not spread on a large scale in Wuyuan, otherwise there will be feedback from the lottery.

Sure enough, Wang Cai then said: "I visited Mr. Qinghu and saw your Mobao, so as soon as I came to Pengcheng, I went to Shulinzhai to visit, but you were not there. ”

It turned out that the rich and noble man mentioned by Shopkeeper Wu earlier was him!

Chen Zhi immediately remembered that a person specially mentioned by Shopkeeper Wu not long ago now seems to be this royal vessel.

"You see, it's a sin to disturb your chat." After Wang Cai finished speaking, he laughed and punished himself, not caring about his age at all.

Chen Zhi shook his head, becoming more and more curious about Wang Cai's identity, but the top priority was still the matter of Tuoshi.

"Rubbing can rub seventy percent of a person's knowledge, this goal is naturally the more erudite the better, Wang Kui is known as a bookworm, Wang Chuan said that he has read 12 of the world's books, this is an astronomical number, even if it is an exaggeration, it is enough to prove, from the conversation between Wang Cai, Liu Kan, and Zhang Yong just now, Wang Kui is not in vain, what is better than such a goal?"

Thinking about it, Chen Zhi took out the rubbing stone from his arms, handed it over, and said: "That's the case, I got this stone by chance, it looks like it has some origins, but my knowledge is shallow, and I can't tell the roots, I heard that Your Excellency has a wide range of knowledge, can you help me take a look." ”

"Oh? It's definitely not easy to make a good nephew value, so I'll take a good look at it. Wang Kui was also interested, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he caught the tuoshi, picked it up, and looked at it.
