Chapter 16: From the Emperor's Snooping

Chen Bodhi has been living in the Hejian County Mansion for more than a month. Sun Simiao returned to the Taoist temple after Li Chongyi's wound healed and his stitches were removed. There are still many patients waiting for Sun Shen's treatment, and Chen Bodhi was originally invited to go with him, but Li Xiaogong heard that Chen Bodhi had no place to stay, and in view of the "difficult environment" of the Taoist temple, Chen Bodhi was left in the palace.

Next, Chen Bodhi's daily work is to tease the beautiful girl Jin Se, and discuss medical theory with Sun Simiao every once in a while. And then I have an afternoon tea with the owner Li Xiaogong every day.

As for the little one, except for eating and sleeping, I don't know where to go crazy the rest of the time.

In the garden pavilion, it is the afternoon tea time of Li Xiaogong and Chen Bodhi.

"Virtuous nephew, what is a special operation?"

"Special operations refer to combat operations carried out by a country or group in peacetime and wartime, in order to achieve a specific strategic campaign purpose, to lead and direct special forces that are mainly specially organized, trained, and equipped, or elite units temporarily organized according to the needs of the mission, and carried out in special ways and means. Its actions have the characteristics of special purpose, careful planning, unique methods, diverse means, concealment and suddenness, and quick and quick solutions. ”

"You mean that the rational use of a small group of elite soldiers can change the situation of a war?" Li Xiaogong asked.

"Compared with war, the key to the final decision of victory or defeat comes from the comparison of national or financial resources of the two sides. But on this premise, the rational use of the mode of special operations has the potential to change the outcome of a battle. Gaining advantage can then change the outcome of a campaign. In the end, it will affect the outcome of the war. ”

"Then, according to what you said, wouldn't the future war rely on a few teams of scouts who are ten and one is a hundred? The old man still didn't think it was reasonable. Li Xiaogong said as he stroked his long beard under his chin.

"The prince is right to be worried, first of all, there is a big difference between special forces and scouts. Compared with well-trained scouts, special forces are not the same in terms of training, equipment, talent selection, and relatively independent logistical support. It can be said that the money and financial resources spent on training a qualified special forces member will be about the cost of training a team of soldiers, which is only the cost of training, not including the logistics support of daily operations. The fundamental reason why the elite is the elite is the elite is the limitation of the number of people. Coupled with the cost factor, it is impossible for us to use special forces as conventional forces. On the battlefield, special forces are largely the presence of surprise soldiers to assist the military operations of conventional forces. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Pre-war reconnaissance, wartime raids and harassment of the enemy's logistical baggage, transport routes. Decapitate enemy generals and destroy important military installations. Infiltrate the enemy camp to poison, spread rumors, assassinate and other actions to achieve the purpose of demoralizing the enemy, etc... Unconventional military operations. "Chen Bodhi is still very confident in his profession.

"The virtuous nephew has a family history, but why is such a family not obvious?" Li Xiaogong continued to ask.

"This is also one of the puzzles that the kid has to solve since he entered the world." Chen Bodhi's eyes showed a blank look.

"Look for it slowly, there will always be results." Everyone has their own secrets, and Li Xiaogong looked at Chen Bodhi's expression as if he was fake. Without asking too much, he turned his head to look at the old servant who was waiting on the side. The old servant behind Chen Bodhi nodded slightly.

This has been going on for more than a week.

Taiji Palace Manna Hall.

Li Shimin sat upright in the hall. At the bottom of the hall knelt a strong man with a black scarf on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the investigation."

"According to what you said, the two brothers and sisters of Chen Bodhi are the two I am looking for?" Li Shimin asked.

"Weichen can be sure that this brother and sister are Chen Shuai's orphans." The man in black replied.

"It's OK, it's OK. I can finally give an account to my brother. Thirteen, I will reward you heavily, but I still need you to continue to lurk among the black-clad people. Inform me of any situation immediately. Li Shimin instructed the black-clothed man in the hall.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the only death through the ages of hardship is to die, and Weichen will live up to your trust." The man in black stepped forward and replied.

"You have to live, you have to live. That's an order! I want to see with you the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty that we have created together. Li Shimin's answer seemed to have a hint of Jin Ge's iron horse voice.

"No!"

"Alright, you can go back first."

The man in black bowed back, his whole body hidden in the darkness, stepped into the depths of the main hall, and disappeared.

After calming down a while, Li Shimin picked up the secret fold next to his hand, which recorded Chen Bodhi's every move, word and deed in the palace every day.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, asks to see you." The little eunuch who was waiting outside the palace entered the palace to give a farewell.

"Xuan."

"Li Xiaogong, the king of Xuanhejian County, has come to see you...", the little eunuch preached loudly in a unique male duck voice.

Li Xiaogong entered the hall and first gave Li Shimin a gift.

"Brother Wang, excuse me, sit down." The eunuch next to him brought Li Xiaogong a couch.

After some push and thanks, Li Xiaogong took a seat. Li Shimin sat across from him. The two began today's talks.

"Brother Wang, what do you think of today's question? Li Shimin didn't put on any emperor's stand, and the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers was very casual.

Chen felt that Chen Bodhi, this kid was not simple, whether it was astronomy and geography, medical science and miscellaneous science, he always answered the questions like fluent. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a genius, especially the military road that has been talked about lately. Many points of view made the old soldier feel refreshed. It's rare that this kid doesn't hide his secrets, and the questions raised by the ministers are often taught. The minister believes that if there is no problem with his life experience, then it can be of great use to sharpen it. ”

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass in front of the two of them and drank it all.

"There is no problem with his background, he is Xiaode's son, yes. As for the source of knowledge, Brother Wang doesn't need to be suspicious, I probably have a number. Brother Wang, do you know if this kid has any big ambitions? This is an issue that Li Shimin is more concerned about.

Li Xiaogong replied with a wry smile: "This is also the place where the minister hates it, the minister has knocked on the side many times, and once he made it clear that as long as he is willing, the minister will give him a general." But this kid always cares about other things, and doesn't answer the words of his ministers at all. I was in a hurry, so I said that I would move to the Taoist temple to live. Either say, the biggest ideal in this life is to eat and wait for death. You said that he was not angry, and several times the ministers wanted to shave him with big ears. ”

"Oh? Is it? Brother Wang doesn't have to be angry, the Chen family is like this, and this "craft" is ancestral. However, as a member of Datang, how can he be allowed to do whatever he wants? There is no rush in advance, and we will discuss it later. How is Chongyi's body? It seems that Li Shimin has a countermeasure.

"It's been a long time ago, I've eaten the family law twice recently, and I haven't seen anything." Li Xiaogong said with a smile.

"This injury is just right, why did you eat family law again?" Li Shimin was very curious, because in his eyes, Li Chongyi was a very peaceful child.

"I don't know what kind of evil this kid has fallen into, since he recovered from his injury, he has been on a par with Cheng Lao Pifu and a few boys from Lao Hei's family, and he has fought back and forth several times. Within ten years, Li Fu paid nearly 1,000 yuan just for those smashed liquor shops. And that's not even counting the gambling money that this stinky boy owes in the East Market Casino. Not to mention fighting, he also summoned the children of the clan to mess around together, and the key was that he couldn't win once. When he went to court today, Cheng Lao Pifu also made fun of the old man about this matter. Speaking of this incident, Li Xiaogong looked a little angry.

"The children are just messing around, and besides, the little demon kings of the Cheng family are unbearable for ordinary people. It's not that I said you, Brother Wang, you are a Confucian general, how did you give birth to all the children who were good mallets? Speaking of this, Li Shimin was a little gloating.

"Hey, Your Majesty, don't look at the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, Cheng Qian hasn't seen him for a few days, right? This time it was Li Xiaogong's turn to gloat.

"No wonder I haven't seen the prince for a few days, it seems that this is also a brother in the war. You don't care about this, and I don't care either. Won, what reward there is not. If you lose, continue to go to the family law. "Li Shimin doesn't care about the prince's participation in the brawl at all, children, it's normal to fight and make trouble. Cheng Lao Pifu didn't mention it, and it was hard to say it himself. When the time comes, the province will be laughed at by the old man who hides in the house.

"There is one more thing, I plan to give the annex in Qujiangchi to Brother Wang."

"Oh, in that case, the minister is disrespectful."

Li Xiaogong's face was clear.
