"The Art of War" begins with the words: soldiers, the place of death and life, the way of survival. There is another saying: soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. The situation of the war is volatile, and the key is to judge the situation and size up the situation. But it's easier said than done, and it's never something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, Zhuang Yi is not an ordinary person, he was a soldier who was an undercover soldier in his previous life, judging the situation and adapting to the situation, of course, he does not lack such skills, and he understands a little bit of all military-related knowledge. Otherwise, he would not dare to come to the grassland and play such a desperate game. In his view, life is a game.

Now, it's his turn to use force, and an exciting game will begin. When he saw that the quarrel in the tent had stopped, he coughed dryly, stretched lazily, took out an old sheepskin from his bosom, and solemnly and respectfully presented it to the case of Turus.

This is a document he took the time to write about the defense of the five Xi tribes, of course, only to concisely state the main points. In this era when transportation depends on walking and communication depends on roaring, there are only a few Xi people who know Chinese characters and understand Chinese after all, and the Chinese of Turus and the chiefs of various tribes is only half at the level, so Zhuang Yi can only communicate with his mouth about the relevant rules.

Sure enough, Turus read it quickly, and his eyes lit up. The worried old face slowly burst into a smile, and he smiled: "You stand aside for the time being...... After I pass it on to all the tribal chiefs, if there is anything I don't understand, I ask you to come forward and answer. ”

Zhuang Yi nodded, bowed, and returned to the left side to sit down.

Zhang Yitai approached and said with a smile: "Have you figured it out, have you figured it out?" Let's not talk about deviations later. ”

"It's not that you're still here, otherwise what you're asking to do is to let you pick up the gaps!"

"I can help with copywriting; I'm not in charge of military affairs, it's up to you. To be honest, I still have doubts about your ability to handle military affairs. There are only a few hundred people in Madu Mountain, but there are tens of thousands here, you are so young and have no experience in managing the army, can you really do it? Zhang Yitai asked with some concern.

"When have you seen me bad?" Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes back, choked Zhang Yitai's mouth and stammered, shaking his lips and unable to speak for a long time.

"Good...... I wish you could do it, a good man with three gangs, a fence with three piles, and you have someone to use? ”

"No...... Do you have? ”

"That Mr. Zhu Limin, have you forgotten him, when this kind of big event happens, if you don't call him here, maybe he thinks he won't be taken seriously, so he will go back to Hebei!" Zhang Yitai sneered.

"Hah! There's been a lot of things lately, so I forgot! There are also monks Yangguang who are also talents, and after being busy for a while, they naturally can't run away from them. How? Since ancient times, literati have been light, look at you are quite generous! ”

"Since the old man is here, and he eats with you, he has to think about your affairs, what kind of literati are light, the old man is not one of those sour Confucians who talk rhetorically and have a small temperament." Zhang Yitai was a little annoyed, approached again, and asked in a low voice: "It's nothing for you to help King Xi train his troops, but you also teach Xi people to build cities and tuntian...... What the hell do you think? ”

"What do you think? It's not all the damn Khitans, otherwise, do you think I'm full? Zhuang Yi replied angrily.

"Humph! Really? If you don't believe it, you won't be able to imagine the consequences of this development. Zhang Yitai snorted lightly, and when he saw Zhuang Yi deliberately sloppy and unwilling to say more, he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Zhang Yitai has lived in the border of Yuyang for a long time, and he knows the inside affairs of Xi Ren's various departments, and with everything he has been exposed to recently, it is reasonable to be skeptical of Zhuang Yi's recent actions.

In fact, Zhuang Yi certainly knew that if the five tribes of Xi people developed and expanded, they would also pose a threat to the surrounding forces. But he deliberately did so, once Turus defeated the Khitans by means such as building cities and training troops, his prestige would inevitably rise. Having tasted the sweetness of centralized manpower, financial resources, and troop deployment, at that time, we will definitely find ways to increase the power in our hands and strengthen our control over the various ministries.

Then, when the external threat is eliminated, internal contradictions will inevitably arise. With Turles's honest and honest personality, and his sleek and unresolute wrists, the five parts of the taunting people will definitely be chaotic again, and it will be a big mess. Zhuang Yi had foreseen this, and he was happy to see it happen.

Zhuang Yi came to the grassland, perhaps at first for love, for Princess Ailan, and for borrowing thousands of soldiers. It can be seen that love is never a simple thing, there are always one or another factors, which make the parties unclear. And love will also change slowly, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the fake.

Now, Zhuang Yi has another idea in his heart, his appetite has become bigger and bigger, and his ambition is also expanding sharply, but this idea is not enough for outsiders.

Who says snakes can't swallow elephants? It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen! As long as it works properly, it's okay. Only when it is chaotic and the water is muddy, can it be easy to fish. Of course, the premise is that they have a certain strength, and the conspiracy is not enough, which will only pull hatred. Judging the situation, the combination of rigidity and softness is the last word.

Zhang Yitai also understood this, so he was a little confused. And Zhuang Yi didn't want to tell him what he thought in his heart too early, the time was not right, and it might not be a good thing to say it.

As the two were talking, Tiao Cheng had walked around in the hands of everyone in the tent, and returned to the hands of Turus, muttering everywhere, and everyone turned their heads and began to talk about it. Seeing this, Turus was quite satisfied, beckoned, summoned Shuri to him, and asked softly about something. After thinking about them one by one, he replied seriously. Looking at the appearance of his father and son, it seems that the knot in his heart has been exhausted, and the suspicion has completely dissolved.

At this time, Turus spoke: "The content of Zhuang Dalang's article is very simple, but it is of great significance to us in the five departments of Xi Ren. The description is nothing more than two things: one is to build a city and military fort, so that the old and weak and logistics grain and grass have a place to be stationed and stored, and at the same time, they can rely on the castle to defend themselves; the second is to train the troops according to the formation of each department, and the war horses and equipment and armor are prepared, and the tooth tent can also provide some; The third is Tuntian, which has to wait until after the war to have the spare strength. The fields that have been reclaimed can be irrigated by digging ditches to ensure that they can be safe and sound after the war. ”

"These three articles are beneficial and harmless to my five people, I completely agree! It's just that...... How many young and strong soldiers were sent out to train the army, and how many young and strong people were sent out to build the city? If you build a city, will it delay the training? Xie Ra stood up first and asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"The patriarch of Xie Ra doesn't need to worry, the old rule is that each department is seventy percent young and strong, but this time the situation is critical, according to Zhuang Dalang's suggestion, all departments are nine percent young and strong, and they will gather in the tooth tent after forming their own troops, accept unified scheduling, and build cities and train troops at the same time, and I also think that this is very good, and I can prepare for war faster, what do you think?" Turus smiled and nodded.

"If so...... If there is no objection, can the location of the city be determined? ”

Hearing this, Tullus turned his head to look at Zhuang Yi and said, "Zhuang Dalang! Tell me your strategy, so that you can solve your doubts. ”
