Tang Shu Mountain was known as Lazhi Mountain in later generations, belonging to the Qilian Mountain Range, the most famous product is mineral water, but Liu Xiu did not know anything about it, when he saw this bare snow-capped mountain, he had lost interest in seeking immortals.

In fact, as soon as he came out of the camp, his mood relaxed a lot, but he felt that he was not calm enough, so he came to the foot of Tangshu Mountain accompanied by Xiahou Yuan. He also has another purpose, he wants to be alone with Xiahou Yuan for a period of time, so as to observe Xiahou Yuan's mood, now that the Kanto region is in a big war, Cao Cao, as a former general, is in the middle of the Yuan brothers, as Cao Cao's brother and friend, what does Xiahou Yuan think, whether he is at ease in the west, is very important to Liu Xiu. If his heart is no longer here, it is better to transfer him away sooner.

Xiahou Yuan didn't talk much. He just protected Liu Xiu step by step, although he knew that Liu Xiu's martial arts skills were far above him.

"General, this is the southeast foot of Tangshu Mountain, and those cultivators are all in the caves halfway up the mountainside, all of them are like savages, but there is nothing to see. Why don't the general camp at the foot of the mountain, and the minister sends someone up the mountain to look for it? โ€

In the Han Dynasty, the minister was not only a self-title to the heavens, but also used to refer to the subordinates to their superiors many times, of course, this superior official position could not be too low. Liu Xiu's subordinates are now justified in calling him ministers, Liu Xiu is the king of Chu, and he will definitely be the king of Chu in the future, and these people are impeccable to him. It's just that Liu Xiu knows that their title to minister often has a deeper meaning. Liu Xiu didn't stop it, he didn't need to hide it at this time. Even if he covers it up, others won't believe it.

"No need, since these people have come here to cultivate, they don't have any fame and fortune in their eyes, and it's not easy for us generals to take out their names, and they are ignored by others, so why bother." Liu Xiu smiled and waved his hand. "We camped at the foot of the mountain, looked at the snow-capped mountain scenery, and then waited for the army to come. Let's go together. [~]โ€

Xiahou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, the minister will arrange the camp." The minister has been here a few times, and he is quite familiar with the terrain. Know where it's more convenient. โ€

Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, he could see from this way that Xiahou Yuan was indeed very familiar with the situation here, it was as familiar as at home, where he could camp and where there might be an ambush, he knew it all clearly.

Xiahou Yuan quickly arranged for people to set up camp, this is a leeward camp, and there is a hot spring next to it, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the hot spring water. It's not pungent, but it's not drinkable, and it's good for bathing. Next to it there is a five-foot-deep pool, which is made of the most common stones on the mountain, and is not very elaborate. It has a rustic feel. Warm water flows from the hot springs into the pool and out from the other side. The mist is curling, like a fairyland.

Soaking in the hot springs and enjoying the scenery of the Great Snow Mountains is a great pastime to spend otherwise. Since Liu Xiu is here. Certainly won't miss it. So accompanied by Xiahou Yuan, the two of them only put a cloth towel around their waists and went into the water, sat on the rough stone, soaked in the slightly hot spring water, and the tense muscles and bones that were taut by the wind slowly relaxed, and the bones of the whole body were singing, which was extremely comfortable.

"When they come, let them come to bubble together, it's so comfortable." Liu Xiu held his breath and dived underwater, until his breath was exhausted, then he reappeared, wiping the hot water on his face, and said with a hearty smile: "Miaocai, it shouldn't be the first time you can find such a good place, right?" โ€

"They are coming, but they dare not bathe with the general." Xiahou Yuan held the water in both hands, slowly rubbed his face, and said with a smile: "That is, a rough person like the minister who does not know etiquette will be presumptuous in front of the general." โ€

Liu Xiu laughed, he knew what Xiahou Yuan was talking about. Yan Zhong and the others came, they would definitely not jump into the water together to take a bath with him like this, but Xiahou Yuan said this, not only because of this. Xiahou Yuan had read books and was familiar with the art of war, but he did not read Confucian classics, at least he did not have special research in this area, he was a professional military general, which was very different from his brother Xiahou Yuan. [New] (ยท~) Although Xiahoudun also practiced martial arts, Xiahoudun respected Confucianism very much, and often asked them for teaching, Xiahouyuan never interacted with Confucianism, and when he was a guardian in the Taiji Taoist Hall, he was with Lu Zhi every day, and he did not ask Lu Zhi for Confucianism.

Although Yan Zhong and Xun You did not worship Confucianism, they all considered themselves Confucian scholars, including famous scholars like Han Sui, who first put themselves in the position of a scholar - a person who read the books of sages and sages, and had a natural sense of superiority over a martial artist like Xiahou Yuan.

"Miaocai, I don't think you have to read Confucianism to be called a reader, I think there are a lot of Confucian books that you don't read, if you read too much, it is easy to read people to death, read roundabouts, and become rotten Confucian." Liu Xiu teased the water and said unhurriedly. Xiahou Yuan listened happily, laughed more heartily, and nodded in agreement. Liu Xiu continued: "However, I don't think it's enough for a general to only know the art of war. A true military strategist is usually one who is well versed in people's livelihood and economy. Sun Thirteen, you have read it many times, what is the first one? โ€

Xiahou Yuan did not speak. Sun Thirteen is too familiar with him, the first article is the "calculation chapter", the main content of the calculation article is the temple calculation, the calculation of the generals, the calculation of the money and the grain, the calculation of the inside and the outside, these are all macro strength comparisons, which has gone beyond the category of a general, is the calculation of the strategic level.

The reason why Sun is called the ancestor of the soldiers, not just a famous general, is because he stands at different heights. He once served as the commander of the army of Wu, presided over the war against the Chu State, fought five battles and five battles with 30,000 against 300,000, broke through the capital of the Chu State, and retreated. He was able to do this, not only because he used his soldiers like a god and was brave and good at fighting, but because he had analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Wu and Chu in detail before the war, and had insight into the weakness under the strong appearance of Chu, so that he could defeat the strong with the weak.

To do this, we must have an understanding of the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is not a general understanding. It is important to understand not only the status quo, but also the ideological roots behind those status quo.

It's about reading, not just reading the art of war.

"Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall." Liu Xiu looked at Xiahou Yuan with a smile, his expression was very relaxed, but his eyes were very earnest: "Miaocai, I suggest you read the "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", these two big books, one runs through the past three thousand years, and the other is detailed in the sages of the previous dynasty, which is very beneficial. โ€

"What the general taught is that the minister understands." Xiahou Yuan nodded. Liu Xiu said this, not only to trust and respect him, but also to his hopes and requirements, and he felt very motivated. As for the prejudice of those who read, Liu Xiu has already used the word rotten Confucianism to evaluate, and he doesn't need to care about it at all.

Liu Xiu's words were like the hot spring water under the snowy mountain, pouring out the blocks in his heart.

"Stop!" There was a commotion in the distance, Liu Xiu and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, they were a little surprised, there were few people here, and there was a large army camping, even if someone happened to pass by, they would avoid it, how could someone take the initiative to find it?

"Wencai, go and take a look."

Bao Chu answered, held the knife, and strode over, and after a short time, he came back again: "General, there are a few Taoists who have come down from the mountain to ask for a meeting. โ€

Liu Xiu was very surprised, he didn't want to go up the mountain to visit the Tao, but the Tao came to visit him, is this the spirit of the king?

"Let them come." Liu Xiu was a little excited, got up and stood up from the pool, Meng Da hurriedly handed over a dry cloth towel to help Liu Xiu wipe the water off his body. Liu Xiu put on another big hat and stood by the pool, ready to greet him. Xiahou Yuan didn't think so, although he also practiced the Five Elements of Ink Technique, but he was not interested in cultivation, in his opinion, breathing and breathing was just pretending to be a ghost, except for some help in practicing martial arts, it didn't seem to be of much use. As for going up to the mountain to live in seclusion and penance, it is a manifestation of being kicked in the head by a donkey. He didn't dare to say that Liu Xiu's head was kicked by a donkey, but he could use his actions to show his disapproval. He sat down in the pool, calmly closing his eyes and recuperating.

The big guy in a single coat walked over, I don't know if it was frozen or nervous, he was trembling, and he was shaking when he walked, which made people very worried that he would fall to the ground and return to heaven. A messy head of hair, joined by an equally messy beard, with only two small eyes exposed, made his head look like a shaggy lion's head. He hunched his neck, hunched his waist, his hands folded around his chest, hidden under his shabby sheepskin jacket, revealing his two black feet, the skin wrapped in bones, and not a trace of flesh in sight. He was followed by two younger monks, equally ragged, but looking stronger, at least walking with their waists straight.

The big guy staggered to the edge of the pool, his gaze swept over Liu Xiu's face, and immediately fell on Xiahou Yuan's face. When he heard that a large army had come down from the mountain, and although it was not many in number, the soldiers were all very strong, so he hurried to try his luck. He saw Xiahou Yuan's banner, and immediately took his two strongest brothers to ask to see him, at this moment he was surrounded by vigilant tiger warriors on both sides, and he didn't dare to act rashly, with his extraordinary memory, he recognized Xiahou Yuan at once.

Moreover, surrounded by so many warriors, only Xiahou Yuan looked calm, in the eyes of the big guy, this was all because Xiahou Yuan was the supreme commander here, he didn't expect that Liu Xiu, who was standing by the pool to greet him, would be a fish much bigger than Xiahou Yuan.

If June Thunder had known about the scene, he would probably have vomited blood with regret.

At this moment, the June thunder was in the cave in the middle of Tangshu Mountain, more than 1,000 meters above Liu Xiu's head, waiting for the good news that the big battle had succeeded. He was beaten to the ground by Xiahou Yuan last time, and now there are only one hundred and ten guards around him who have returned one after another, and the others are either dead or captured by Xiahou Yuan. Otherwise, he would definitely kill the mountain and take Xiahou Yuan's life.

The big guy walked past Liu Xiu, bowed deeply to Xiahou Yuan, and muttered a few words of Qiang in his mouth, Liu Xiu didn't understand, Xiahou Yuan just opened his eyes in surprise, the big guy didn't seem to stand firmly, leaned forward, jumped into the pool, and the five fingers of the two hands in the sleeves were wide open, grabbing Xiahou Yuan's chest like eagle claws.
