At the end of the dinner, all the people who dispersed were talking about the battle between Du He and Xue Rengui. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This martial arts competition, everyone has not seen it, but such a high-level competition is not something that can be seen if you want to see it, and you are amazed to see it one by one.

After the dinner, Li Shimin also specially asked people to invite Du He and Xue Rengui into his tent.

Xue Rengui's face was full of surprise.

Du He had an expected expression, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty's love for talents is far from what you can imagine. Today's martial arts are enough to make him look at you differently, summon you, test you, don't be surprised, just treat it with a normal heart. ”

Xue Rengui is an extremely stable general, just because he didn't expect this effect in a game, after Du He said, his heart was also excited, and it was also a blessing to be able to serve under the command of Li Shimin, a talent-hungry Ming Jun. didn't say much, just nodded solemnly.

Du He took Xue Rengui to meet Li Shimin in the imperial tent.

Li Shimin took a copy of "The Art of War" to study in the tent, and when he saw the two of them coming, he asked them to sit on the left and right mats, and he was not polite, and said with a straight smile: "In today's battle, Captain Xue's martial arts have opened my eyes and I am infinitely happy. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty sang in the "Song of the Great Wind" that 'Ande warriors guard the Quartet', and it is precisely because of my Tang Dynasty talents and fierce generals that we have today's victory. It's just that this will be no longer brave, I don't know if Captain Xue has studied the art of war. ”

Xue Rengui said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general left a few books of the art of war and studied them since childhood. It's just that because of the middle of the family, I can't afford to buy other military books, and I'm just those few books over and over again. Not long ago, General Dedu joined Zuo Weiwei and gave 36 military books such as "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Art of War of Wu Zi", and "Wei Zhenzi", which he studied day and night, and benefited a lot. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Du He thoughtfully, and said, "Then I have to test you here!" "The Art of War" has words, generals, laws, heaven, and earth, why is this explained? ”

Xue Rengui pondered for a moment and said: "Daoist means that the boss and his subordinates have the same goal, the same interests, and the same will, and can live and die together without fear of danger. The heavenly one refers to day and night, cloudy and sunny, cold and summer, and the change of seasons. The land refers to the geographical conditions such as the height of the terrain, the distance of the distance, the danger and flatness of the terrain, the breadth and narrowness of the battlefield, and the place of life or death. Generals, referring to generals are resourceful, trustworthy in rewards and punishments, sincerely caring for their subordinates, brave and decisive, and strict in military discipline. The legal person refers to the organizational structure, division of responsibilities and powers, staffing, management system, resource guarantee, and material allocation. As a monarch, if you know these five, the country will be strong, but if you don't know these five, you will be declining and depressed. For the general, know these five, win; If you don't know these five, you won't win. ”

Li Shimin asked again: "The image of the soldier is water, the shape of water, avoiding the high and tending down, and the shape of the soldier, avoiding the real and hitting the false." The water is controlled by the land, and the soldiers are defeated by the enemy. Therefore, the army is impermanent, and the water is impermanent. Those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods. What is the explanation for this? ”

Xue Rengui replied: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent!" The direction of water is determined according to the topography, just as the army adopts the strategy of defeating the enemy according to the enemy's situation. There is no immutable posture in fighting with troops, just as flowing water does not have a fixed shape and direction. Being able to constantly change tactics according to changes in the enemy's situation and achieve final victory can be called a god. The ancient Han Xin, the battle of Jingcheng, the back of the water for the camp, the banner of the banner, the current Majesty, Li Weigong, the battle of the Tiger Prison, the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Eastern Turks, is a good example. ”

Du He smiled slightly, the three examples Xue Rengui said were exactly the ancient soldiers, a model of flexible use of soldiers. In the battle of Jingcheng, Han Xin had no more than 30,000 Han soldiers, while Zhao had 200,000 male soldiers. However, Han Xin lined up against the water, attacked the Zhao camp, annihilated the Zhao army known as 200,000 in one fell swoop, beheaded Chen Yu, the main general of the Zhao army, captured Zhao Wang Xie alive, and destroyed the Zhao State that Xiang Yu had divided. The same is true of the Battle of Tiger Prison and the Battle of Tang to Annihilate the Eastern Turks. In the battle of Tiger Prison, Li Shimin fought 100,000 with 3,000, and in the battle of Tang to destroy the Eastern Turks, Li Jing attacked the Eastern Turk Khan city Xiangcheng with 3,000 elites.

In these three battles, the coach relied on flexible tactics to win more with less, and overcome the strong with the weak.

The three examples of the war are just right.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he also realized that he had picked up the treasure, and continued to ask: "It is as fast as the wind, its Xu is like a forest, it is like a fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, and it is like a thunderbolt, what is the explanation?" ”

Xue Rengui said casually: "When the troops move quickly, they should be like a whirlwind whirling; When marching calmly, it is like a forest slowly unfolding; When attacking a city and plundering the land, it should be as swift as a blazing fire; When stationed in defense, it is like a mountain; When the military situation is hidden, it should be like a dark cloud covering the sun; When the army is dispatched, it should be like a thunderbolt, which is the six most important factors for elite soldiers. If there are soldiers like this, they will be invincible and invincible. ”

Li Shimin immediately chose difficult points to test Xue Rengui in other military books such as "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", and "Wei Xuanzi", but Xue Rengui answered fluently, and at critical times, he would supplement it with classic battle examples in history and express his new insights. Every word and deed makes Li Shimin look at him differently.

Although this is only a dialogue on paper, and it cannot show the real strength of a general, if you can't talk about troops on paper, let alone use troops in actual combat?

In the end, although Li Shimin did not promote Xue Rengui, he obviously remembered this name. He asked Xue Rengui to step back first, left Du He to talk, and said with a smile: "This Xue Rengui really surprised me. If used properly, it will be a wise and brave general. He'll leave it to you, use it well, and don't let down his talent. ”

Duhe smiled and said yes.

returned to the camp tent, because the night was dark, Changle and Li Xueyan's camp tents were all dark, it was difficult to come out to play, the two daughters were tired, and obviously had gone to sleep first. Wu Meiniang's camp tent was brightly lit, but there was no one in the tent, but her own camp tent was reflected with a slender black shadow, and her spirit was shocked, and she walked into the tent quickly.

Wu Meiniang worked hard in the tent to write straight, looking focused, not paying attention to his arrival.

"What are you writing about?" Duhe sat down beside her, holding her slender waist with one hand, and pulled her closer to him.

Wu Meiniang trembled slightly, obviously frightened, glanced at him, obediently leaned on his almost boneless body, handed the written thing to Du He and said: "It's about the intelligence network, whether it is Du Lang or our martial family, they are all on the cusp, and it is really not easy to build an intelligence network that will not be discovered." Just in case, I can't come forward, Du Lang can't do it even more, and neither can the Wu family. However, during my years in Chang'an, I often looked for some unambitious talents, intending to train them and use them for my own use. I once met a talent who has an ability to analyze and judge beyond ordinary people, and is suitable to serve as a deputy of the intelligence network, and loyalty is not a problem. Mei Niang has already negotiated with him, and we do not plan to contact him head-on in the future, but use letters to exchange. That's what I wrote to him asking for advice. ”

Du He glanced at it slightly, and then stopped asking. He knew Wu Meiniang's ability, and since he had already handed over the intelligence matter to her to deal with, he didn't plan to interfere too much, and let her exert her due strength, so he smiled and said: "You are in charge of this, I don't know your ability yet, I don't have you to deal with it." ”

Wu Meiniang heard the endless trust contained in Ailang's words, and her heart was like smeared with honey, her eyes were watery, and the god's ** words were still resting, coupled with that demonic and charming face, which made people's hearts flutter, and then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "What a goblin......"

Wu Meiniang was called a goblin, and she was not angry, but she glanced at him with all kinds of amorous feelings, and said: "In addition, all Mei Niang of Ashina He Luohu has been found out, he is the youngest son of Tuli Khan, he was only eight years old when Tuli was defeated by Jieli and defected to the Tang Dynasty, he was still a child, and he has always received the education of my Datang, with a weak personality, no opinions, and no grassland character at all. Ashina wants to support him, but I think there is no good intention. ”

Du He's heart moved: "Can you be sure?" ”

Wu Meiniang nodded affirmatively: "This matter has been repeatedly verified, and there is no falsehood. ”

Du He's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "That's the case, then the big thing is decided!" He kissed Wu Meiniang lightly on the forehead and said: "Rest early, the matter of the intelligence network, don't be in a hurry, don't be too tired, I'm tired, I'm going to die of distress...... I'm going to look for Your Majesty, and it's time to close the net. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly and said she understood.

Du He told Li Shimin about the possible rebellion of Ashina's association.

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You actually know about this?" ”

Du He said in his heart: "Sure enough, Li Shimin really knew Ashina's intentions for the association rate, so he had this hunt." He also pretended to be surprised, blinked and said, "Could it be that my father-in-law already knows?" ”

Li Shimin no longer concealed it, told Du He the truth, and said the reason why he didn't tell him: "The anonymous letter only wrote that Ashina had an association rate of one person, but this kind of thing is impossible for just one person to do." I don't know how many people are involved, so I plan to lure the snake out of the hole. Ashina Sheer is one of the suspects, so he needs an unsuspecting person to contact him so as not to startle the snake. It's just that I didn't expect that you could still detect the antipathy of Ashina's association rate, which surprised me. ”

Du He suddenly realized, filtered the cause and effect in his mind, and figured out that the anonymous letter should have been written by Ashina Kara. In history, he should have participated in the assassination, but now that history has changed, Li Shimin did not go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer this year, Ashina Kara unexpectedly changed his mind and sued Ashina for the association rate, so that today's incident happened.

However, Li Shimin did not investigate as deeply as himself, and he did not get as much information as himself, so the methods he thought of were naturally not as clever as he thought.
