5. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles
Yu Xianggong Ji was satisfied with the Tianzun Bi and rode a galloping horse to the harem to show off, leaving only Baili Xi, Fang Li and other civil and military personnel to stay in the main hall.
The state of Yu has a general who is in charge of all the armies in the country; three lieutenant generals, each commanding 10,000 troops; There were six generals, each with 5,000 soldiers.
Fang Li jumped from a doorman to a general, and became one of the top ten generals in Yu State, which can be described as a steady progress. But Fang Li knew that despite this, he couldn't offend Baili Xi's father and son, let alone be hostile to them.
"Your Majesty, please forgive your protΓ©gΓ© for making his own claims!"
Fang Li bowed to Baili Xi to apologize, "I saw that the lord was convinced of Xun Xi's words, turned a deaf ear to the king's bitter advice, and even became angry with disgust, so he had to change his course, do what he liked, and use Li Ji to destroy the alliance between Yu and Jin." The matter is urgent, and the protΓ©gΓ© has no time to ask the king, and please forgive me! β
Without waiting for Baili Xi to speak, Baili Shi next to him snorted coldly: "Flattery, do what you like, this is done by traitors!" β
Baili Xi raised his hand to stop Baili Shi and said, "Hey...... What Meng Ming said is not bad, as the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of deceit, as long as they can achieve their goals, why care about the means? You...... On weekdays, the use of troops is too upright, and we only know how to conspiracy but not conspiracy, so our military strength in Yu has hardly developed in recent years. β
"I don't agree with what my father said!" Baili argued, "Our Yu country only has a population of 600,000, and due to the limitations of national strength, how can I compete with the Yu country or even the Jin country?" β
Baili Xi stretched out his hand to interrupt his son's words, and said: "Okay, the old man won't argue with you, look at Zhao Yong, in just twenty years, he has opened the country from a Taishou splitting the soil, and with Lian Po, Li Mu, Zhao Hao and others as generals, he has laid down a territory of thousands of miles. Now it has a population of 4.5 million and 300,000 armor, on a par with Qi, Qin, Jin, and Chu, how do you compare with it? β
Baili looked gloomy, and sighed: "Lian Po and Li Mu are both unborn talents, and Zhao Wugong is eloquent, so the children naturally can't be compared!" β
Baili Xi taught: "So, you must live to learn from all the time, learn from others' strengths to make up for your own shortcomings, and never be self-righteous." I'm optimistic about Fang Li, maybe I'll have to count on him if the strength of Yu Guo is in the future, now that he is a general, and he is a subordinate of his father, you, the general, will have a good life in the future! β
"Children remember their father's teachings!" Baili Shi looked depressed, and could only hug his wrist and agree.
Baili Xi turned around and patted Fang Li's shoulder: "Now that you have an official position and a mansion, you don't have to go back to my Xiangbang Mansion, and I hope you will work hard in the future, go to the monarch and Li Min, don't let the old man down!" β
Baili Xi's voice fell, and he strode away, Baili Shi and Gong Zhiqi followed, leaving only the young swordsman named Xia Ran who stayed at the end and glared at Fang Li, the sword was half unsheathed, and the cold light was clear.
"I hope you are sincere for the country, don't use rhetoric, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!" Xia Ran snorted coldly, put away the sword and returned it to its sheath, and followed Baili Xi and his party out of the main hall.
Fang Li secretly said to himself: "This guy is so murderous, is he really so awesome?" Where is the system, let me test his four dimensions. β
The system starts: "Qiang...... Xia Ran belongs to the auxiliary type of talent, and the four dimensions are as follows: Xia Ran - Domination 55, Wu Yong 88, Strategy 63, Internal Affairs 47.
Skill: Ranger - When fighting in cramped places such as streets, courtyards, palaces, and streets, his strength can increase by 3-5 points depending on the battle situation! β
"The force value of 88 is even more powerful than Baili Mengming?"
Looking at Xia Ran's distant back, Fang Li praised again, and involuntarily felt a trace of admiration in his heart, it seems that Yu Guo still has some talents.
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles; I don't know who he is, I only know myself, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, I don't even know how many pounds and taels I have, how can this work? β
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Li hurriedly used his mind to give instructions to the system in his mind: "I'm tired of checking the four dimensions of this master, huh...... Uh-huh, this lord is me, Fang Li. β
"Qiang ...... The lord belongs to the war-type talent, and the current four dimensions are as follows: Fang Li - Domination 75, Wu Yong 86, Strategy 82, Internal Affairs 65."
After hearing this, Fang Li muttered to himself in his heart: "Before the crossing, Ben was the leader in the special forces, he joined the army at the age of seventeen, and he fought in the barracks for five or six years, played a lot of military strategy games, and read all kinds of military books, so he was given the command of 78?" It's a lot worse than Baili Mengliang! β
But after thinking about it, after all, he was just a small soldier before he crossed, even if he received modern military training, it is reasonable to be compared to a general in charge of tens of thousands of troops.
Fang Li had received a lot of unimaginable training before crossing, his marksmanship was outstanding, his physique was outstanding, he was an outstanding soldier in the special forces, and Fang Li felt that it was fair to evaluate his martial arts of 86. As for strategy and internal affairs, it depends on your future performance, after all, this thing is not as intuitive as force.
"General Fang, General Fang?"
A call brought Fang Li's thoughts back, and a eunuch about forty years old was calling him softly, "The old eunuch Ling 'Yu Hui' has met General Fang, and the lord asked me to arrange a mansion and servants for you." β
Fang Li still has some eyesight, this eunuch even has a name called "paid", how can he do it if he doesn't say it? It's a pity that Fang Li is penniless now, and he can only make empty promises.
He bowed down and said: "There is a laborer who orders the honor, and now he is alone, poor as washing, and he will be rewarded for receiving it." β
Not surprised, he laughed and said, "Hehe...... General Fang saw the outside, and this order knew that even Lord Xiangbang was a breeze with his sleeves, not to mention you guests. However, General Fang is now worshiped as a subordinate general by the lord, which is different from the past, if you can get close to Gongzi Zhai, maybe it will help you in the future. β
Fang Li felt that there was something in his words, and said respectfully: "I have just come out of the office, and I must ask the eunuch Ling and Gongzi Zhai for advice in the future." β
Yu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and led the way in front to lead Fang to leave to choose a slave: "Hehe...... Those who know the times are Junjie, and the old man really didn't misunderstand General Fang. Although the crown prince is now temporarily favored by the lord, the prince Zhai is more capable, has more prestige in the government and the opposition, and is more loved. β
Fang Li suddenly had an epiphany, it turned out that this was Gongzi Zhai's internal response in the palace, and he wanted to win over himself to support Gongzi Ji Zhai and the crown prince Ji to fight against him, and he had just arrived, so it was better not to get involved in the royal family's fighting.
But Fang Li also knew that the eunuch Ling was the head of the eunuchs, and he acted in front of the monarch every day, and he must not offend him, otherwise a few words of slander might bring him death.
"This world is really dangerous, there are many princes, strong enemies are around, there are brothers intriguing, you should be cautious in the future!" Fang Li followed behind Yu Hui and secretly admonished himself.
Yu Yu took Fang Li to a mansion, and as soon as he was called, hundreds of slaves and maidservants waiting to be assigned gathered around and waited for selection. Most of them were young men and women between the ages of fifteen and twenty, some of whom were captives from other countries, and some of whom were slaves purchased at the royal family's expense, and who did heavy manual work in the palace on weekdays, and were occasionally rewarded by the monarch to his courtiers.
Most of these slaves and maids were ragged, yellow-skinned, and malnourished, so Fang Li could only choose ten men and ten women at random, and prepared to take them out of the palace to his mansion to serve him.
"This girl has fainted again, I'm afraid that she is infected with the plague, and the eunuch ordered her to find someone to throw out of the palace and let her fend for herself, right?"
There was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and it turned out to be a servant girl who fainted to the ground, so frightened that everyone could not dodge, and they begged to send someone to throw away the seriously ill girl.
Fang Li followed Yu Yu to check, only to see that this was a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, although her clothes were ragged, she could see that she was a little delicate, her eyes were big, and her facial features were upright, but it was a pity that she was very thin. is close to seven feet tall, and it is estimated that it weighs about eighty pounds.
On the way to choose slaves and maids, Fang Li already had some understanding of the measurement of Yu Guo through observation, and the weight was calculated in catties and taels, which was roughly the same as before he crossed. The length is calculated by size, one foot is equivalent to 23 centimeters before the crossing, that is to say, the height of the maid who fainted in front of her is about one meter six, which is tall and stands out from the crowd in this era.
"What's going on?" Yu Hui asked with his hands behind his back and on his toes.
The eunuch in charge of the slaves bowed down and replied, "If you return to the eunuch's order, this maid is a captive captured during the war with the Weiguo three years ago, and she has been kept in the palace at that time. Now she has a little bit of a look, but she is infected with a disease, and she has fainted every once in a while, and it is likely that she is infected with the plague, so it is better to send someone to throw her outside the city and let her fend for herself, right? β
Yu Hui looked gloomy, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, send someone to throw it away!" β
"The eunuch is slow!"
Fang Li looked at the unconscious girl, felt pity, and arched his hand: "I see that this girl is a little similar to one of my sisters, so that she misses her relatives, and the eunuch order will give her to you, right?" Let me take it back to the house for treatment, whether it can be saved depends on her creation! β
You Hui smiled and said: "In this case, even if this servant is a great man, the old slave will take it upon himself to give her to General Fang." β
