In the palace, Zhao Kuangyin and the generals are standing together, they are discussing the battle with the Liao army, and now the Liao army has abandoned Jinpo Pass and is heading towards Feihu Pass, which is a challenge for the Song army. However, listening to Cao Bin and Pan Mei, Zhao Kuangyin also had a definition in his heart.

Later, Zhao Kuangyin summoned the martial arts students to the palace, and some of the generals who went north also turned their heads to these martial arts students, and some of them were their children and relatives, and they were also very happy.

The martial arts students walked in vigorously, Zhao Kuangyin was a little stunned the moment he looked up, he actually seemed to see his son's figure from the posture of these martial arts students, and he suddenly recalled that when he was as old as them, he was also fighting everywhere, but like they fought to survive at that time, it was Cao Can who fought for glory instead.

However, Zhao Kuangyin is still very pleased to see that so many young talents are under his account. The pillar of the country, in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be a civil and military world, and the Great Song Dynasty will also become a prosperous dynasty far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Cao Can and they are also very polite, and they began to salute after seeing Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, but this etiquette is not court etiquette, but military etiquette, a simple and clear etiquette, and it does not seem so red tape.

In Zhao Kuangyin's view, this etiquette is not rude, but there is a kind of spirit that is neither humble nor arrogant, and the spirit of the army is a stroke, reflecting the martial spirit of the soldiers.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered the incident of releasing military power in the palace in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, which was to suppress the power in the hands of the generals and put the power in the hands of the emperor, but if it was overdone, I am afraid it would not be a good thing for a country.

The Tang Dynasty is the power in the hands of the local festival is too great, and the imperial court can't control the power in the hands of the local feudal towns, and the country is going to be destroyed step by step, at least Zhao Kuangyin thinks so, but after listening to his son's opinion, Zhao Kuangyin realized that his ideas are a little insufficient.

Cao Can and Li Jilong had tried in the Feishan Camp, Zhao Kuangyin was particularly impressed by these two young generals, he was friends with their fathers and uncles, he saw Cao Can and Li Jilong like an elder meeting a junior, he said: "Brother Can, Batu, are you still used to staying in Yizhou?" ”

Cao Can and Li Jilong were a little moved when they heard this, the two raised their heads and looked at Zhao Kuangyin arched their hands, at this moment Cao Can said: "Back to the official family, Brother Li and I and the brothers are fine in Yizhou, after all, Brother Li and I have also spent a lot of days in the army, but in the past few days, we have no war to fight, and the brothers' chests are full of grievances, but the Liao army is like a turtle with a shrunken head, and has actually retreated to the Flying Fox, and gave Jinpo Pass to my Song army, and my Song army has lost such a good opportunity, At that time, it will be a little difficult to attack the Liao army. ”

Li Jilong also said on the side: "Brother Can'er is right, I and your comrades have been in the barracks for this time, the brothers have no battle to fight, and every move in front of the Liao army is under control, even if they retreat to the Flying Fox, it will be useless, because our men and horses have set up a lot of ambushes between the mountains and mountains, and our army has already explored the terrain of the Flying Fox Shin and is planning to report to the official family." ”

After Li Jilong finished speaking, he immediately took out a book from his cuffs, and then handed it to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin took the note from Li Jilong's hand, and then opened it to take a look, which were all about the marching and fighting records of the Liao army, as well as the men and horses in their station, scouts, and so on.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were already wide, and he patted Long Yan Dayue and said: "This note of Batu is really detailed, if everyone in our army knows the existence of the enemy, they can anticipate the enemy first and strangle the enemy to death." ”

Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin handed the song to Cao Bin and Pan Meizhu. Cao Bin and Pan Mei's reaction was even greater than Zhao Kuangyin's, their mouths were already wide open, and they looked at Cao Can and Li Jilong incredulously, especially Cao Bin and Li Chuyun.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at everyone's expressions, he remembered that Zhao Dezhao once said that as long as there are drawings and accurate figures, they can complete everything, Zhao Kuangyin also wants to destroy this Liao army as soon as possible, and then march north to Jinyang City, he said: "Since there is a nearby enemy, such as this Flying Fox Pass, can you make a sand table with soil and other things?" ”

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin ask, Cao Can and Li Jilong glanced at each other, and then nodded to each other and agreed: "Official, we can do this." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said happily: "What you two said is true? ”

The two said respectfully: "Yes, the official family." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "In this case, this matter will be left to the two of you to do, and it is best to complete it one day earlier."

"The official family can rest assured, at most one day, as long as we rely on these data, we can make a sand table, and the official family can also refer to it with your uncles at that time."

"That's good." Zhao Kuangyin nodded happily, now the sand table operation has played a huge role in the battle of the Song army, and some generals who don't know how to read can also directly refer to the military situation on the sand table, so as to command the entire battle situation.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said: "I just heard from your father that there is a course in martial arts learning that specializes in jungle warfare, and it can also play the battle of our army in the mountains, I don't know if this is the case?" ”

Listening to Zhao Kuangyin talk about jungle warfare, Cao Can and Li Jilong pricked up their ears, their hearts were already itchy, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings now and fly to Flying Fox Pass.

Cao Can said to Zhao Kuangyin: "The most important thing to fight with the enemy in the forest is to grasp the local terrain, and each of our martial arts special forces must be familiar with the local terrain, trees, weather, jackals, tigers and leopards, and the number of enemy troops. If we fight with the Liao army in the jungle, and the target should not be too big, we must shade it in the forest so that the enemy will not find out, our men and horses should be scattered in the mountains and fields alone, and then several and dozens of people will raid a fortress or a pass, and our men and horses should also prepare some equipment in advance, such as backpacks, this time we came out of Kaifeng, and each martial arts student carried a bag behind his back, which was loaded with a lot of food, weapons and other such as hands. Pomegranate. Bullets, forearm crossbows, and some mandala potions, etc."

Zhao Kuangyin and the generals were also amazed when they heard it, it was the first time for them to have such a complete combat guidance, and it sounded very interesting, any martial artist would also have feelings when they heard it, but there were some new ideas in some places Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei They were also novel and confused when they heard it.

Cao Can didn't finish speaking, because the knowledge in books is always dead, and it can only play its role if it is applied in practice, and the situation in the forest is not static, for example, the weather conditions are abrupt, and the equipment is difficult to keep up.

There is only one point, Cao Can and they know that only by strengthening the physical training of martial arts students can they adapt to the complex and changeable situation in the forest, the last time they fought in Shuzhong, the unique environment and mountains in Shuzhong are also much worse than the situation here. It was only after that battle that Cao Can understood what Zhao Dezhao told them when he was in Kaifeng, "If you can fight in the jungle, you can fight anywhere in the world."

Cao Can said for a long time, coughed and said: "If the official family wants to understand the battle between the forests, Taoguang has a book here, which is very detailed and specially defines various tactics. ”

"Oh, Brother Can?"

Cao Can took out a book from the back of his backpack, because this book is extremely precious, so this time the martial arts students did not have one with them, they were also worried that they would accidentally steal this book from the enemy, and the losses caused by this would be very huge.

Cao Can has already handed the whole book to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin took it, he turned the book to the last page, and then turned the title page and looked at it, the thickness of the book is a little thick, and a lot of combat methods are recorded on the first page, such as jungle warfare, naval warfare, positional warfare, etc., most of which Zhao Kuangyin has never heard of, but he is a studious emperor, and he directly turned to the formulated position according to the content.

"The book can still be turned to the place where it was formulated very quickly." Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart, since today is talking about jungle and mountain warfare, Zhao Kuangyin quickly turned into it.

"What is jungle warfare is an operation carried out in a specific jungle area. In jungle warfare, the most important factor that determines victory or defeat is the region, and whether the soldiers are absolutely familiar with the local environment. You have to be very familiar with the local topography and landforms, as well as vegetation, climate, and biology, because these factors will become your obstacles, and they will also become your helpers, and then make full use of these factors" The dialogue is a bit vernacular, but Zhao Kuangyin can barely understand it.

Zhao Kuangyin turned five or six pages, and he had already mastered the basic definition and basic essence of jungle warfare, and how to fight in the forest was also very crucial, he had reason to believe that Cao Can and they could open a gap in the battlefield between the two sides, and the Song army could also carry out sneak attack operations.

"Brother Can, this book will be placed here with my uncle for the time being, and I will return it to you next time when my uncle finishes reading it."

"Hmm!"

That night, Cao Can, Li Jilong, and the rest of the martial arts students made a simple topographical sand table near the flying fox in the military tent.

The candles were shining brightly in the military tent, and Cao Can and the others were holding the soil in their hands, kneading the terrain into three-dimensional models.

Because it was necessary to be more detailed and accurate, they did not sleep all night until dawn, when Cao Can shouted "done", and then got up and went outside to ask the sergeant to tell the news to Emperor Zhao Kuangyin.
