Chapter 272 Three Fights and One Battle

Yuan Jian replied: "Your Majesty, Ye and Yao have not sent back any news, the border between our dynasty and Annan is steep and the terrain is complicated, if Nanon hides in the mountains and does not come out, it will take a little longer." ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll report it to me when I have news."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, sir, let's go to the martial arts hall, Junshi, Zhao Aiqing, you two have to strengthen your exercise if you have time, your body is but, but you have the capital to do things." I almost said that the body is the capital of the revolution, and if that's the case, I guess it's going to be a big joke.

In ancient times, whenever the dynasty changed and the monarch changed his surname, it was called a revolution.

Revolution, as an emperor, whose life do I have to remove, my own, I couldn't help but laugh secretly,

Lu and Zhao saluted and said, "The ministers should remember His Majesty's teachings, and the ministers will retire." ”

I nodded and said, "Sir, Xiao Qi, let's go too." ”

Along the way, I said as I walked: "Sir, I feel that my body is a lot stronger, and I don't feel that it is too cold when winter comes." ”

Yuan Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the diligent practice over the past year has been effective. ”

"Well, sir, I have learned all of Taizu's long fist and Taizu's swordsmanship, and it is quite effective, both speed and strength have made great progress, as for the shadowless step, although I remember it very well, but I can't see the effect for the time being, in the future, how should I practice."

"Your Majesty, there are still more than two months left this year, and the minister thinks that His Majesty is still mainly practicing Taizu Changquan, as for the content of next year, the minister is still thinking about it."

"Okay, let's practice boxing first, and we'll talk about the rest next year."

As soon as the three of us entered the martial arts hall, we saw Gonggong Zhou hurrying over,

"The official family, the old slave sent some snacks to the official family at the behest of the concubine."

Quan Jiu knew that I hadn't eaten at noon, and was worried that I was practicing martial arts on an empty stomach, so he sent someone to bring snacks, I felt warm in my heart, and pointed to a table at the door and said, "Okay, Grandpa Zhou, just put it here." ”

"Yes, the official family, the concubine Niangniang asked the slave to tell the official family and eat it while it was hot."

In the afternoon of the next day, outside the door of Shifeng Commercial Bank,

Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui came to the firm on time according to the address I left, "Big brother, you said this, who will this Huyan Gongzi be, how could he let us come to this firm for an interview, instead of going, to the Yamen of the Ministry of War." ”

"Zhang Gui, I don't know who Gongzi Huyan is, at least I don't think he has any malicious intentions, and he can treat us who don't know each other, and he can be regarded as quite a bodhisattva."

"That's right, I also think that Gongzi Huyan is a good person, but I don't know what his purpose is."

Zhang Shun smiled: "When you see it, you will naturally know." ”

"What are you doing here?" When Xiao Si saw someone coming, he stepped forward and asked,

"Big brother, may I ask if this is the Shifeng Commercial Bank?"

"Yes, you are."

Zhang Shun hugged his fists and said: "In the next Zhang Shun, this is my brother, the two of us came here to go to the appointment of the son of Huyan." ”

Xiao Si replied: "It turned out to be the Zhang brothers, and the son is already waiting upstairs, please." ”

"Big brother, thank you."

Xiao Si led Zhang Shun and the others upstairs, and said respectfully in front of the door: "Son, the Zhang brothers have arrived." ”

"Come in."

Xiao Si pushed open the door, stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Zhang Shun, and said, "Please." ”

"Zhang Shun kowtowed to Gongzi Huyan and Mr. Yuan." After Zhang Shun entered the house, he knelt down with Zhang Gui and said,

"Get up."

After Zhang Shun got up, he thanked him again and said: "Zhang Shun has thanked Prince Huyan for giving medicine to cure the disease, and also thanked Mr. Yuan for his great kindness to my Zhang family. ”

"It's a lot of effort, why worry about it, as the saying goes, acquaintance is fate, Zhang Shun, it looks a lot better, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea."

Yuan Jian also said: "Two virtuous nephews, don't say thank you, please take a seat." ”

After the two sat down, I pointed to Lu Xiufu next to me and said, "Zhang Shun, this is Lord Lu of the Ministry of War, and he is also the person in charge of the recruitment of generals in the imperial court. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Shun hurriedly got up again and said: "Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui of the Anji people of Liangzhejiang Road have met Lord Lu. ”

Lu Xiufu nodded and said, "This officer, Lu Xiufu, is now serving in the Ministry of War. ”

"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, let's get started."

"Yes, Childe." Lu Xiufu said, "Zhang Shun, Zhang Gui, let's introduce your experience first. ”

Zhang Shun said: "Yes, my lord, under Zhang Shun, Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today, since childhood, good at reading military books and strategies, at the age of nineteen, won the fourth place in the Anji County test, and won the fame of the show, after that, it lasted five years, traveled to Zhejiang, Guangzhou, Fujian and other places, and later worshiped an unknown elder as a teacher, learned three years of marching and arranging the way and the case of the war since ancient times, after the master traveled the world, he has been studying these war cases at home until recently, until he heard that the imperial court recruited talents in the army, and then came here to enlist. ”

Lu Xiufu said: "That means you have no experience in the army." ”

"Yes, sir."

According to today's words, it means that Zhang Shun has no work experience.

Lu Xiufu continued to ask, "Zhang Shun, then tell me what your master taught you." ”

"My lord, the master mainly imparts knowledge in the following three aspects, the first is the way of marching and arranging, which is similar to the one in the military book, and the second is the analysis of various cases since ancient times, the master asked me and him to be the two sides of the war, for example, when telling the battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms period, let me first as Yuan Shao, and then as Cao Ying, from the two different perspectives to look at the battle of Guandu, the third is to tell how to win the war, and when to fight, when to defend, when to retreat."

The first point that Zhang Shun said, the second point is similar to the content of the military university, but the third point I am quite interested, to achieve victory needs to meet many necessary conditions and sufficient conditions, Zhang Shun can also say the timing of the battle and retreat, it is not easy, I was about to open my mouth to ask Zhang Shun, listen to Lu Xiufu said: "Zhang Shun, focus on the third point." ”

"My lord, the master said, three fights and one battle, one fight and one guard, and one dozen and three retreats."

"Three against one."

"Lord Hui, no, the three and one mentioned by the master do not refer to simple troops, but to ' Heaven, earth and man's three aspects, that is to say, when the two armies fight, there is a favorable time and place and the advantages of the three aspects can be fought, for the commander of the army must use or even to create these three advantages, in order to stand in the land of a hundred victories, since ancient times in the famous war, with less to win more cases emerge in endlessly, in these cases, in fact, can not be analyzed from the strength of both sides alone, more is to combine the time and place, because the factors that determine the outcome of the war are not only the number of soldiers on both sides, for example, a woodcutter soldier in the mountains and forests is easy to defeat a soldier who is not good at the mountains, a soldier surnamed Tongshui can easily defeat a soldier who does not know water in the water, which is the combination of heaven, earth and man, and the formation is called three. ”

Lu Xiufu nodded and said: "It turns out that this is the case, your master's words are very reasonable, the battlefield is changeable, sometimes every grass and tree may affect the victory or defeat, Zhang Shun, this time the army recruits generals, the highest position is the commander of the box, if you are asked to serve as the commander of the Lin'an theater, what will you do." ”

Zhang Shun thought for a while and said: "The Lin'an Theater is newly established, and its soldiers come from the original forbidden army and new recruits from the people, so the primary task is to train the soldiers, and the soul of any army lies in the commander of this army, so it is necessary to convey the commander's thoughts to the entire command system, for example, the commander is a wolf, then the entire command system is required to have a wolf surname, a foot army will not be an opponent of a horse army, but a team of infantry troops is not necessarily, which must let the commander understand the truth of three and one, of course, The basic quality of the soldiers must meet the requirements, and it is believed that without considering the Mongolian horses, in the same infantry battle, the military strength of the Mongolian soldiers should be equal. ”

"Well, Zhang Shun, this first point is understood, you continue."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Shun continued, "The second point is the integration of the team, there are more than 10,000 people in a box, and it may be composed of half recruits and half of the forbidden army, which requires all personnel to accept the unification of the new theater, even if it is ideological, it must be consistent, that is to say, in this box, there is no forbidden army, no recruits, only this compartment in the Lin'an theater, and the third depends on the future combat intentions of the Lin'an theater, whether it is offensive or defensive, but no matter what it is, as long as the soldiers in this box can do the first two points, they can adapt to any battlefield." ”

"Last question, Zhang Shun, this official asks you, if you were a Mongol, where would you choose as an attack point, and if you were a Song person, how would you choose the route of the Northern Expedition."

"My lord, whether it is the Song or the Mongols, they will choose to attack from multiple ways and highlight the key points, that is to say, the four major theaters of the border pass may become the area of attack, however, I don't know much about the current situation of the two armies, so I can't judge the key attack target for the time being, but one thing is certain, our army's naval division is far stronger than the other side, so it is necessary to go north from the sea."

"Well, Zhang Shun, you can rest for the time being, Zhang Gui, you come."

Although Zhang Gui's words were still a little stammering, the meaning was very clear: "My lord, I am familiar with martial arts and diving, and I have studied the art of war with my master for three years with my eldest brother. ”

"Zhang Gui, don't talk nonsense."

"Big brother, what I'm saying is the truth, when Mr. Yue left, that's what he said."

Lu Xiufu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Zhang Gui is a person with a straight surname, as long as it is the truth, the official can accept it." ”

Zhang Gui also grinned and said: "My lord, of course this is the truth, big brother, you look at Lord Lu, who is like you, always humble himself." Zhang Gui's words also caused me to laugh: "My son also believes that Zhang Gui is telling the truth." ”

"It's still the son of Huyan, understand me."

I bowed my head slightly: "Zhang Shun, what you said about three and one, I also think it is quite incisive, the victory or defeat of the war depends on the real and the potential, the real is the real strength, and the potential refers to the potential of the force. ”
