"Well, my sister is right. From a strategic point of view, Wu Yong in "Water Margin" is really useless, and he is not much stronger than some second-rate strategists in the Three Kingdoms, not to mention Zhuge Guo Jia and his ilk. In a brief comparison, I have simply divided the art of war into two parts, one called military and the other called politics. If according to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang's military score is 100 points, and Sima Yi is 99 points, then Wu Yong can barely give 90 points, which is already considered a hero in the world. But if Xun Yu's political evaluation is 100 points, Zhuge Liang's politics in the Three Kingdoms is 95 to say the least, but Wu Yong, giving him 70 can already be regarded as looking down on him. Xun Yu's strategy is to determine the world, and Zhuge Liang is dedicated to seeking strength, so the pattern is slightly lacking. And Wu Yong, who can find a cottage, still relies on military talent to support it, and is quite immature politically. ”

"Then you still use "Water Margin" as a teaching material?"

"There are many reasons why it can't be helped. First of all, the planning of everyone in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a premise, they themselves are officials, even if Liu Bei basically has no power in the early days, there is also a banner of the Han clan. And we don't. And "Water Margin" is precisely to teach people how to create a force from scratch. The seventy chapters describe the establishment of the Liangshan forces in detail, and the one hundred and twenty chapters also roughly tell us what the situation of the other three forces, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing, is. Hmph, what do you say about the 'four Kou', not that the Liao State and these three are the four Kou, it is obviously that Liangshan and the other three Kou are all wiped out, so that all the 'Four Kou' have been exterminated. But no matter how many problems there are, basically learning this, you will learn how to build a force from scratch. ”

"You're clearly teaching me to rebel?"

"Well, it's definitely not. I just think that Da Ming may not be able to survive this troubled time, so in order to protect myself in the troubled times, I persuaded my sister. In fact, I hope that Daming can hold on all the time, so that we can be safer and don't have to fight hard ourselves. However, Daming's behavior is full of internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is really not optimistic. ”

"You're going to be safe! Do you really persuade me to rebel, and I will betray you? ”

"Of course I don't mean that, I'm afraid of scaring my sister."

"Count it in! If you can't even trust me, and you don't need me to form any forces, you can do it yourself! Anyway, you won't! ”

"Of course I will, but I don't recruit men, and I have a bunch of women, can you rest assured?"

"What's not to worry about? If you want to marry someone else as a concubine, can I still not let me? Not to mention that now that we haven't gotten married, even if you marry someone else, do I still have a way? ”

"Of course not! My loyalty to my sister is evident! Even if my sister doesn't mind, my younger brother has to avoid suspicion, my sister, my sister, your sisters will marry one day in the future, it's okay to be under my sister, it's not good to be with me for a long time. ”

Chen Yuan just felt that Hua Xue had never wanted her, and she was a little anxious when she waited. Seeing that Hua Xue's face was red again, she no longer teased him: "Okay, I believe you." And then you say, what else is the reason. ”

"Hmm. The second reason is national conditions. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the real focus is on infighting, and the foreign forces mentioned are vulnerable. Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant shocked the entire Liaodong foreign clan. Ma Chao dared to suppress the entire Qiang tribe alone. The only positive description of the Nanban, if it weren't for the geographical advantage, would have been leveled many times. That was when the glory of the Han Dynasty's victory over the Xiongnu had not yet dimmed, and the Central Plains could still crush the foreign races. In "Water Margin", although the Liao State has been declining, it is still an invincible behemoth to the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty inside can't even exterminate the small hills in its own country, and there are foreign enemies who have repeatedly invaded the border, how similar it is to today's Ming Dynasty! ”

"You don't want to teach me to learn from Liangshan to be recruited and killed, right?"

"Of course not. My sister understands that Jianyu is the enemy of the Central Plains! This insight has surpassed that of many ministers. I mean to learn from the Song Dynasty in "Water Margin", and first unite domestic forces to the outside world. Zhao'an or something, no matter how you look at it, it should be someone else's recruitment! ”

"You're confident."

"It's about having faith in my sister."

"I also have faith in you." Chen Yuan felt that this was so boring, and hurriedly asked, "Is there another reason?" ”

"Actually, there is some overlap with the first one, to put it simply, our situation today is too similar to "Water Margin". In terms of time, it is the time when the people cannot survive. In terms of geographical advantages, the so-called 800 miles of water is comparable to Taihu Lake? This Jiangnan is the hometown of Fang La's army. In terms of people, they are all small people who lack official power. As long as you can afford to raise money and food, the goddess who rescues the suffering is louder than any timely rain! ”

Chen Yuan thought about the title of the goddess Niangniang, and felt that when the time came, he had to give himself a nice title, it was too straightforward to call him directly, and then he realized that he was a little fluttering by Hua Xue, glanced at Hua Xue, and then asked: "It's gone?" ”

"Of course, in fact, what about "Water Margin", everyone in front of them was bandits, yes, but after Liangshan's seats were lined up, they were no longer serious bandits, and they also became officials. The same is true of the other three cowards, after their power is achieved, their nature has changed. But at this time they themselves are not aware of this. These rebel armies today will also face this problem once they grow larger in the future. That's what you need to pay attention to. Using "Water Margin" as a teaching material, I also hope that when I encounter a turning point in the formation of power, my sister can clearly realize this. ”

Chen Yuan couldn't understand why Hua Xue wanted her to pay attention to any turning point by herself: "It's good if you tell me when you need a turning point, why should I pay attention to it myself?" ”

"I don't know if I'm aware of the turning point myself, or if I'm just theoretically analyzing the results. You see, at the time of the uprising, everyone in Liangshan was facing a desperate situation, they were bandits, and they couldn't live without an uprising. However, when they occupy Liangshan, the power is stable, and after the seats are ranked, they can rebel based on Liangshan, and they can accept the imperial court to recruit An, and they have a choice, and they have more thoughts, Liangshan is no longer a united rebel army to survive, but some people want to rebel, some people want to recruit An, some people want to take revenge, and some people don't want to forge ahead It doesn't matter what. This is a turning point. ”

"That's true, but what about such a turn of events? Song Jiang is bent on recruiting peace, Lin Chong and Gao Yu are not wearing the same sky, this contradiction is irreconcilable? ”
