(Two chapters in a row.) ）

The banquet ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and then everyone went home.

The battle between Li Congjing and Wu Jingzhong naturally could not be concealed from Li Cunqing, of course, Li Cunqing had no intention of pursuing this matter, it was just a small episode. And Li Congjing also knew that this time when he returned to the Tang Mansion, Li Cunqiao would summon him to see him again.

Before parting, Li Cunxun took Li Siyuan's hand and said: "Congjing, this kid is good, he is a piece of jade, you are good at teaching, and you will become a great tool in the future." ”

Li Siyuan was modest, but the laughter still revealed the pride in his heart. For Li Siyuan, he may be accustomed to being praised, but his son must be happy to be a father.

Li Congjing listened to Li Cunxian's words, his heart moved, remembered the purpose of this trip, and immediately climbed up the pole, hugged Li Cunxian, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Old general, jade can't be cut without a weapon." From Jing self-knowledge to learn shallow, the heart is not yet mature, long heard of the old general's military god prestige, is the first general of the Tang Dynasty, if you can worship the old general's door, get the old general's teachings, from Jing will be able to learn something! ”

Li Siyuan reacted immediately, and also said: "Old general, although the dog is smart, he is young after all. The last general has never read and written, and he will not be able to teach him much. If Jing can be taught by the old general, it is his creation. Also ask the old general to give him a chance. ”

Li Cunxian waved his hand, sighed, and said, "If it was a few years earlier, the old man would definitely not refuse." But right now, the old man is already a dying man, and his body and bones are not as good as before, and there are not many days to come, so he can't teach Congjing much, and he doesn't dare to mislead people's children. ”

"Chaowen said, you can die at night." Li Congjing said seriously, "It is also a blessing in life to be able to get the old general's allocation every day." Besides, the old general should be strong and strong, and the coming day will definitely be long. ”

At this point, Li Cunxian groaned for a while, and at the end he no longer shirked, and said: "Congjing is already the chief general of the first army in the history of a state, and his own knowledge is not shallow, and he also has to work on military affairs on weekdays, and there is not much time. These days, the old man will stay in Weizhou, before you return to Huaizhou, you may wish to come to the house when you have free time, the old man can give you a pointer, and he will point out a thing or two. As for how much you can learn, it depends on creation. ”

Li Cunxian's words were not modest, he was already the god of the Tang Dynasty, and his achievements were there, so there was really no need to be more modest. Li Congjing's father and son were overjoyed when they heard this, although Li Cunzhen did not agree to officially accept Li Congjing as an apprentice, but his intention was already obvious, and the difference was just a name.

Li Congjing immediately bowed: "Thank you, teacher!" ”

Li Congjing changed his name to the teacher, which was suspected of cheating, but Li Cunzhen did not object, but helped Li Congjing up and said: "Everything in the dark has a fixed number, and the results are geometric, it depends on yourself." ”

At that moment, several people returned all the way together, chatting more and more affectionately. Li Cunxian is Li Siyuan's top boss, and he usually has a good relationship, so this closeness is not abrupt. When they parted halfway, Li Congjing naturally said that he would come to the house tomorrow to pay a visit, and Li Cunzhen also agreed.

Being able to worship under Li Cunzhen, for Li Congjing, is not as simple as having an additional military god as a teacher, in addition, there are also very important connections in the army. Li Cunxun and Zhou Dewei are equally famous, and they are the mainstay of the previous generation of generals in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the factional relationship in their army, even the generals who have been assigned and promoted by them are also innumerable.

Li Congjing now has the relationship between Li Cunshen and Li Siyuan, so it can't be said that he will be able to walk sideways in the Tang Army in the future and get much care, but at least it will be much more convenient. In the future, if you go to the Liang State and cooperate with other generals, when you go to the battlefield, this relationship will be very different.

Li Siyuan was also very happy, he was most familiar with Li Cunxian, and naturally knew that Li Congjing's worship under Li Cunxian's name was not only the benefits that Li Congjing thought of.

When I returned to the house that night, the bright moon was already hanging high, and everyone in the house kept a table for dinner, and when Li Congjing's father and son returned, they ate together, after all, it was considered to catch the wind and wash the dust. During this period, Li Congjing could feel that as the eldest son in the family, he was more and more valued, especially now that he had his own status in the army, and the responsibilities and hopes of the family were also separated from Li Siyuan and fell on his shoulders accordingly.

Equally, Li Congjing's respect at home is also much greater.

At the end of the day, strength is everything.

Late at night, Li Congjing lay on the couch with his head on his hands, but he didn't fall asleep for a while.

In the dead of night, Li Congjing, a traveler, would feel extremely lonely, so he couldn't sleep. He was a delicate person before the crossing, and this thing has not changed after the crossing. But today, what keeps him sleepless is not the emotion of being a stranger in a foreign land.

Li Congjing remembered what happened this year, recalled how he had gone through this year, and his mind became clearer and clearer. When he recalled the scolding battle with Wu Jingzhong tonight, his brows furrowed slightly. He simply sat up in his clothes, lit the oil lamp, and paced back and forth in the room, thinking for a while.

The oil lamp imprinted his shadow on the ground, and then discounted it and imprinted it on the wall.

He thought about the past and the future, all kinds of affairs and problems lingered in his mind, and he sorted out all kinds of solutions and layouts, but he didn't sleep all night.

After breakfast, Li Congjing left the mansion early. He travels on his own, and the fresh air of the New Year refreshes his spirits. There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and when he went out this time, he did not go directly to visit Li Cunxian, but came to Dongshi.

Stopping in front of a restaurant, Li Congjing looked up and saw a special cloud-shaped mark on the signboard engraved with the three big characters of "Yipinlou".

The mark is not abrupt, but blends in with the signboard decoration, but when Li Congjing saw this mark, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile. Immediately, he walked to the door and knocked on the door in a distinctly rhythmic manner.

After a while, the door panel was removed, and a person who looked like a small guy was revealed inside, he looked at Li Congjing cautiously, and said, "Guest officer, the restaurant is not open today." ”

Li Congjing did not leave, but smiled and handed out a two-inch metal plate. When the little guy took the sign and saw it, his face immediately changed, and he quickly stood up straight, punched his chest with his fist, and said respectfully: "I've seen the military marshal!" ”

Li Congjing nodded, stepped into the house, and the little guy returned the sign to Li Congjing, and reinstalled the wooden plank on the threshold.

This is the stronghold of the MI in Weizhou. The sign that Li Congjing showed to the little guy, the pattern on it is unique, and there is only one piece in the entire military intelligence department, and it will only appear in Li Congjing's hands.

Li Congjing found a random table in the hall and sat down, and after serving tea, the little servant stood aside with his hands down. Not long after, the head of the stronghold rushed out to meet Li Congjing, a man in his early thirties, with a fierce spirit, "Wei Zheng, the consul general of Weizhou of the subordinate military intelligence department, meet the military marshal!" ”

"Consul Wei and his brothers have been stationed in Weizhou for a long time, and they have worked hard to run for the intelligence of the army." Li Congjing said.

"I don't dare to say anything about what I do!" Wei Zhengdao, his voice was full of anger.

"The military intelligence department is still going well in Weizhou, are there any difficulties that cannot be solved?" Li Congjing asked again, since he is here, he naturally has to pay attention to the situation here.

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Everything is within the normal range. "In fact, even if something happens, the MI has its own set of procedures and methods to solve the problem.

After Li Congjing expressed his concern, he began to get down to business: "Pass my general's order, this envoy will mobilize fifty elite personnel of the military intelligence department, and let Tao Commander gather people here for this commander within three days, and wait for the order!" ”

Wei looked grim and said solemnly: "My subordinates will do it!" ”

The personnel of the military intelligence department are no better than ordinary soldiers, all of them are elite, except for the Huaizhou headquarters, most of them are stationed in various parts of Tangliang. Mobilizing 50 people at one time is already a big deal, and it also means that there is a major action.

Of course, these are core members of the MIA. For example, in this "Yipinge" restaurant in Weizhou, ordinary chefs run the hall and other roles, all of which are hired by people in the market, otherwise the people in the MI will all run to work as chefs, not to mention whether they can do it or not, the work of the MI itself will not be able to be carried out. Therefore, there are still a large number of peripheral members of the MIU. It's just that these peripheral members are all temporary workers. Of course, if there are good seedlings, the military intelligence department will also absorb them step by step.

In short, the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department are extremely complex, and if it weren't for Mo Li, who presided over the Military Intelligence Department and did a good job of the system, he would not have been able to do it for anyone in this era. Because Mo Li and Li Congjing are together, they have discussed related issues for many years, and only Mo Li can help him complete Li Congjing's plan for the Military Intelligence Department.

After explaining the matter here, Li Congjing did not delay any longer, and this time he drove directly to Li Cun's mansion.

Li Cunxian served as the chief of the Inner and Outer Han Dynasty and the envoy of the Lulong Army in Youzhou, and was stationed in Youzhou on weekdays to prevent the Khitan from going south. This time, Li Cunzhen returned to Weizhou because he needed to recuperate from his injuries, after all, he had fought all his life, and he was sick and sick, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay in Weizhou for long.

Li Cunxian's mansion is not lively, but Li Congjing knows that he has nine sons in his life, and all of them are heroes among people. Li Congjing handed over the name thorn outside the door screen, and the servant saw that it was Li Siyuan's son, so he let Li Congjing enter the door, let him rest in the door outside the middle gate, and went in to report himself.

After a while, the servant went and returned, and invited Li Congjing to enter the door. Li Congjing followed the servant through the courtyard behind the middle gate, and then came to the hall. Here, Li Congjing could already hear the voice of the inner courtyard talking. The host's family receives guests, usually in the hall. The servant served tea to Li Congjing and asked Li Congjing to sit later.

After a while, Li Congjing saw Li Cunxian and presented greeting gifts. He came today only for etiquette and to set the relationship between them, and he did not mean to disturb him much, and he stayed for a long time when he first came to the door, which was not in line with etiquette. After sitting for a while, he was about to leave according to his farewell, but Li Cunxian let him follow him into his study.

"Since you're here, I can't let you run in vain, so I'll have dinner before leaving. I don't have much else in this house, but there are a lot of books, I have heard your father say for a long time, you have read poetry and books since you were a child, and the old man happened to talk to you. Li Cunxian sat down at the back of the case, and then asked Li Congjing to sit down, and then spoke.

Li Congjing was deeply moved, and he was not polite at the moment, and said to the disciple: "The disciples have read the military books, and each has their own gains, but the military books are very complicated, and the disciples want to study one thoroughly, but they don't know which one to choose, and they ask the teacher to teach them." ”

Li Cunxian stroked his beard and smiled: "The military book is very complicated, but the military is simple. There are countless military books in the world, and there are no more than two kinds, one on the way of war, and the other on the art of war. Those who talk about the way of soldiers, such as "Sun Tzu", describe the outline of the use of soldiers; Those who discuss the art of war, such as "Sima Fa", describe a series of detailed methods from the selection of soldiers to the conquest. The former is an outline, and the latter is inclusive. ”

However, the art of war in the world is not distinct, and it is often like the trend of yin and yang, penetrating each other and inseparable from each other. If you want to learn the art of war thoroughly, the first thing you need to do is to distinguish between the two and then choose one or the other. The law of the world is inseparable from its origin, and those who reach one can touch the second, know the second one, know the three, and know the three to know all the laws in the world. Do you understand? ”

Li Congjing lowered his head and pondered for a long time, not bothering to speak for a while. Li Cunxian's words gave him a sense of enlightenment, which made him suddenly open up many questions. He knew that Li Cunxun was the god of the army, but he didn't know what the god of war was, but now he probably understood a little, and finally knew what and how much he could learn from Li Cunxun - it was far beyond his previous imagination.

There's no end to learning, that's pretty much it.

At that moment, Li Congjing and Li Cunzhen discussed the art of war, as a disciple, Li Congjing studied very seriously, and Li Cunzhen had no reservations, so the two talked very happily.
