Qin Huaishan saw that Shi Min was back, and knew that Shi Zhan and their father and son had something to discuss, so he said to Shi Zhan and Shi Min very interestingly: "General, son, the old man and the father and daughter will leave first, and don't disturb the two of them to discuss business."

Shi Zhan replied politely: "Mr. go back to the room to rest first, and we will talk when we are free." ”

Qin Huaishan smiled and nodded, Qin Wan also saluted the two of them slightly, and walked out with Qin Huaishan. Shi Min also nodded slightly to Qin Huaishan politely.

When Qin Wan walked past Shi Min's side, she paused slightly and glanced at him quietly, Shi Min instantly blushed a little, and deliberately turned her head to look elsewhere.

Shi Zhan saw Qin Huaishan's father and daughter leave the room, so he beckoned to Shi Min and said, "Come here, sit here." ”

Shi Min nodded silently, walked to Shi Zhan's bedside, sat on the chair that Qin Huaishan was sitting on before, and asked, "Father, I don't know how your health has been in the past few days?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the body, it's just a flesh injury, just rest for a while."

"I heard that Your Majesty has lifted the punishment of your father's lockdown, I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly changed his mind."

"This is the favor that His Royal Highness King Yan went to beg."

"His Royal Highness King Yan? Father's foreign brothers generally don't have much contact with us, how can they help you intercede in front of Your Majesty this time? ”

"It's not very clear that this father is not very clear, but among so many sons of His Majesty, King Yan has had a little more contact with me since he was a child. This time my father had just been punished, and the next day he came to visit him, and begged His Majesty to spare me from the punishment of grounding. ”

"Father, it's not hard to understand what the child thinks." Shi Min seemed to have something in mind.

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"My father is away from Beijing all the year round, and he has never had much contact with the officials of the DPRK and China, and my father does not know many things, but the child has heard of them. Father thought about it carefully, which princes in the court are most likely to be made princes by His Majesty? ”

Shi Zhan frowned slightly and said, "This ...... I really haven't thought about being a father. ”

Shi Zhan thought for a while and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be King Yan and King Qing." ”

Shi Min nodded, and then said, "What my father said is right, I think so too. King Yan has a good reputation, and many ministers in the court support him, but King Qing also has the support of many nobles of the Qiang clan, and he holds military power and has outstanding military achievements. Both of these people have obvious advantages, but the people who support King Yan are all civil officials, and they are basically Han people, so it is not difficult to understand that King Yan came to visit his father. ”

"I didn't expect you to know so many things, but according to what you said, my father can understand why King Yan suddenly came to visit, and he also sent those medicinal herbs and silk." Shi Zhan smiled a little bitterly.

"King Yan is also smart, he doesn't give valuables, he only talks about brotherhood with his father, it seems that he wants his father to support him in the future."

But then again, even if the father chooses to support him, it is better than supporting King Qing. King Qing is the same as His Majesty's temperament when he was young, brutal and suspicious, if he becomes the emperor, he will definitely not treat the Han people well in the future, if King Yan inherits the unification, maybe the life of the Han people will be a little better. ”

"The father is far-sighted, and the child is deeply admired."

Shi Zhan nodded slightly, changed his words, and said to Shi Min: "By the way, my father called you back this time, and there are still things for you to do." ”

"What's the matter?" Shi Min asked.

"Your Majesty has lifted the ban on your father, but the year-end festival the day after tomorrow, your father is injured and can't participate, so you have to go for your father."

"Huh? I'll go? Shi Min was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard, thinking that his father was joking with him.

"That's right, there you go." Shi Zhan's tone was very flat.

"Why is that? I'm not a Karma. ”

"As a father grew up in a family of the Qiang people, in the tradition of the Qiang people, the adopted son is also a son, so you are naturally a member of the Qiang family, but this family is a royal family."

"That's what Your Majesty meant, right?" Shi Min asked.

Shi Zhan nodded, and then said, "You have to go to the palace today and go to Your Majesty to thank you on behalf of your father." ”

"The boy understands what his father means, so I'll go and change my clothes now." Shi Min said and was about to get up.

"There's no need to rush." Shi Zhan held Shi Min's hand, and then said, "Come, tell my father about the things in the barracks in the past few days." ”

Shi Min smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Doesn't my father already know?" The third uncle has already sent someone to deliver a letter to you. ”

"Your father naturally knows about winning the championship, there is nothing to say, what my father wants to hear is what you have learned during your time in the military camp and what you do every day."

"Recently, the child has been leading the soldiers to train every day, whether it is foot combat, horse fighting, or archery. Of course, the children were also learning from the soldiers about marching and fighting. ”

"Oh? What did you learn? Let's hear it. ”

"For example, the herald's flag, the marching drum and the different beatings of the marching drum represent what commandment."

"Anything else?"

"That's all I learned for the time being." Shi Min scratched his head and replied.

Shi Zhan said to Shi Min earnestly: "That's it, you still need to learn a lot. ”

"I hope my father will teach me more."

"You haven't read much from the little soldier's book, and you know a little bit about strategy, and now it seems that you also know how to win the recognition and respect of the soldiers, but if you really want to go into battle, you still lack one thing."

"What's that?" Shi Min asked with wide eyes.

Shi Zhan popped out two words from his mouth: "Formation." ”

"Formation?" Shi Min looked dazed.

"Do you know what types of soldiers are in my father's army now, and what kind of combat methods are suitable?"

"This ......" Shi Min hesitated, obviously not thinking about this issue carefully.

"Common combat soldiers are archers, foot soldiers, and cavalry, all of which have their own strengths and weaknesses, but also have obvious weaknesses." Shi Zhan looked at Shi Min, who was at a loss, and continued: "First of all, he is an archer, who is good at attacking the enemy from a distance, but before the enemy rushes in front of him, he strikes first, but the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for close combat. The infantry can form a phalanx, and different formations have different uses, some are used for defense, some can be attacked, but compared to cavalry, they are not mobile enough, and are not suitable for long-distance attacks and long-range combat. The biggest advantage of cavalry is that it is extremely mobile, and the frontal attack is well prepared for the phalanx, the cavalry may not take advantage of anything, but the cavalry can quickly detour through and find the weakness of the infantry phalanx, and then give a fatal blow. ”

"What my father meant, I probably understand, this question, the child really didn't think about this problem carefully before, and now I listen to my father, the war and strategy that the child thought about in the past were just words on paper."

"In addition, how to siege a city, what kind of equipment is needed to attack a city, and what kind of equipment and methods should be used to break through and occupy different cities, these are all things you need to learn."

"Children remember the teachings."

"Remember, marching and fighting does not depend on your personal bravery, since the soldiers now obey you and support you, if you are the commander in chief in the future, your decisions will directly affect the life and death of your soldiers, in this case, do you dare to make a hasty strategic deployment? An excellent general does not completely depend on how much strategy he has, nor does it look at whether he shares weal and woe with the soldiers in peacetime, but all the military decisions he makes must take into account the final victory of the war and the casualties of the soldiers. Everyone is raised by their parents, and no one wants their children's families to go into battle and kill the enemy. This is the way to go. ”

Shi Zhan's words were like a boulder, weighing heavily on Shi Min's heart. He had always felt that he was very good, that he was extremely powerful, that he was familiar with the art of war, and that he would definitely become a good commander like his father in the future, and even surpass his father.

But now Shi Zhan's few words made Shi Min feel like an empowering, and he thought everything was too simple.

Shi Zhan saw that Shi Min was silent, so he said: "The coming day is long, today is what my father said, I hope you can understand these words of your father, if you can really understand the meaning, as long as you have some actual combat experience, you will definitely become an excellent commander." ”

"What my father said today has opened the eyes of the child, and I thank him for his teachings."

Shi Zhan was deeply relieved to see Shi Min accept his teachings so frankly, and nodded with a smile.
