Yang Reform and Sun Chengzong discussed for a while, and basically prepared the way out for these two people in the future. After talking for a while, the two arrived.

After a brief greeting, Yang Gengai went straight to today's topic.

"Do you two know about sand table deduction?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is serving in Shaanxi, although he doesn't care about the army, he has heard of it and seen some ......" Hong Chengchou said first, he is an authentic civil minister, and he doesn't dare to boast casually about the military, and when he saw the emperor asking, he answered truthfully.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows something." Lu Xiangsheng also replied.

"Well, it's good to know, I'm free today, but I want to see your ability to deduce from the sand table." Yang Gengai indirectly said that he wanted to test the military ability of these two people. Speaking of which, it was a little sudden, but actually, I also entertained these two people early, and when I saw the two of them on the platform, I naturally had something to say.

Hong Chengchou secretly sighed unexpectedly, he received an order summoned by the emperor, and did a lot of homework, for the emperor's preferences, all kinds of things to do, did a very detailed understanding, homework can be said to be done, unexpectedly, the emperor is planning to let him manage the army, it seems that he wants him to lead the troops to fight, and the homework he prepared can be described as the opposite. Fortunately, fortunately, the emperor gave him a few days to prepare, at least let him have some preparation, otherwise, if he had to test his ability in this area as soon as they met, he was afraid that it would be worse.

Lu Xiangsheng is a leaping appearance, although the many homework he did along the way was in vain, but he did not worry at all because the emperor asked him to fight against the sand table, and he might lead troops in the future.

"Command!"

"Command!"

The two men agreed.

"In this way, the two of you, one of you is the boss of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the chief of the Eastern Captive, facing off on this sand table, the situation and strength of the two sides will ......be subject to the current situation of my Ming and the Eastern Chief, the two of you, who will be the chief first? Who will be the captive chieftain? "Yang Reform didn't give these two people too much contact time, and indirectly let the two of them get started with the military, since they were selected, they have to understand if they don't understand, and if they don't understand, there will be a period of time to study and run-in, anyway, it's them.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng glanced at each other, listening to the emperor's meaning, everyone has to play the role of a chief? There have to be two sets to match?

Hong Chengchou was really not sure, and he was very hesitant.

Lu Xiangsheng jumped and tried, it seemed that Xiōng had a bamboo, and seeing that Hong Chengchou didn't speak for a while, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to play the role of the chief first." ”

Hong Chengchou was relieved to see Lu Xiangsheng open his mouth to be the chief of the captive first, and now the situation of the Ming and the Eastern Prisoners can be regarded as obvious in form, and the Ming Dynasty has an obvious advantage, he does not know much about military affairs, if he chooses a Dongyu again, he is afraid that he will lose even more badly, so the impression of the emperor will be lame.

Regarding the reaction of these two people, Yang Gai also saw it in his eyes, and constantly judged these two people in his heart, and constantly scored the two of them.

"Okay, then the two of you are in place, as for the rules and rules, as well as the form of the enemy and me, the guards on both sides will tell the two Qing families." Yang Gai smiled and waved his hand, letting the two people he had chosen take their places and prepare for the sand table deduction.

"Obey the order!" Hong Chengchou agreed with mixed feelings, this was really too unexpected for him, he didn't expect it, all the preparations did not come in handy, the emperor actually asked him to lead the troops, although the future of leading the troops is now immeasurable, but Hong Chengchou knows that he must also have this ability, and the emperor must be able to see it, if he is not capable, the emperor can't look down on it, everything is in vain, and the emperor will naturally put you in a position suitable for your ability, and will not take special care of you because you are the imperial party.

"Obey the order!" Lu Xiangsheng has already been a little uncontrollable, he is very confident, although he has never led soldiers before, let alone the military, but he is confident that he has been familiar with reading military books since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is also half a martial artist, and he is also quite interested in military affairs.

Under the arrangement of the shì guards, the two went to their respective rooms, and the shì guards on both sides also began to explain to them the details of various battles, the rules of various battles, and the current situation and situation of the enemy and us. ,

Although it is a deduction, in fact, when the shì guards introduce the situation of the enemy and us, they are all introduced according to the latest situation of the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Emperor, that is to say, these are actually top-level military secrets, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to know.

The more detailed the shì guards explained, the more the two of them felt the pressure, while lamenting that Dongyu was now oppressed to such a situation by the Ming Dynasty; On the other hand, it is also surprising, if according to these shì guards, these are the actual situation now, that is to say, the emperor intends to let them know these secrets, and his intention is more and more obvious, that is, he hopes that they will lead the troops, and then considering the matter of the military department Shangshu that has been spreading in the past few days, that is to say, the emperor intends to select the governor of Liaodong from the two of them to replace Yuan Chonghuan, who is about to become the military department secretary, this yòuhuò is not small.

……

The deduction began, and the platform gradually quieted down.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, after the shì guards explained, finally began to fight each other specifically.

Yang Gengai stood quietly in the middle of the two rooms, looking at the big sand table in the middle, and observing the two of them fighting.

This confrontation is actually an imitation of a situation in the Ming Dynasty after the attack of Jin. It is inevitable that the Ming Dynasty will attack Houjin, and it can be regarded as the highlight of the Great War of Ten Thousand Miles, and only by shaking the nest of Houjin can Houjin go west, and only when Houjin West is gone, this game of chess can be regarded as alive. Of course, Yang Reform is now just testing the abilities of these two people, and it is impossible to tell them everything immediately for the time being.

It's quite a long exercise. Although it was a long time, Yang Reform was also watching intently, constantly staying here and not leaving.

In this scene, Hong Chengchou, as the commander of the Ming Dynasty, has considerable strength in his hands, but because he doesn't know much about the reality of the army, he is a little too cautious, cautious, and every step of the way.

is Lu Xiangsheng, although he plays the role of Dongyu, but he is much more active, frequently attacking, snatching supplies around, looking for Hong Chengchou's flaws around, and testing Hong Chengchou.

Yang Gengai looked at the deduction on the big sand table seriously, and had a better understanding of the abilities of the two, Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be very familiar with the sand table deduction, and seemed to know a lot about military matters, Hong Chengchou didn't seem to have much contact, but he would make some common sense mistakes, but although the attack was not very effective, at least he stabilized his position, did not let the situation reverse, and did not carry out a confused attack.

Yang Reform looked at Sun Chengzong again, and Sun Chengzong couldn't stop nodding.

Yang Gengai originally wanted to ask Sun Chengzong's opinion on these two people, but now that both sides are deducing, it is inconvenient to ask, for fear of what impact it will have on the two, and he pressed the doubts in his heart.

It seemed that it was not a short time, Yang Reform's tuǐ was a little sour, Wang Chengen hurriedly brought a chair to the emperor and asked the emperor to sit and watch, but Yang Reform did not sit, but continued to stand and watch the deduction of the double reversal.

In the platform, there is still a lot of noise, but there is the sound of referees judging from time to time.

At this time, the war has finally entered the white-hot level, Hong Chengchou is the attacker, and he has to attack, although he is still very unfamiliar with this aspect of things, there are still small mistakes and losses, but in the overall situation, the pressure is still very stable, and it does not hurt the muscles and bones.

Lu Xiangsheng was quite active, and his use of troops was also very bold, and there was no restraint, which put considerable pressure on Hong Chengchou, and he had a great tendency to reverse the situation. However, not talking about the situation now, even the referee will not easily admit that the situation can be reversed, so although Lu Xiangsheng played decently, it is still a little worse to say that the situation is reversed.

After a while, the two sides finally entered a decisive battle, Hong Chengchu with the help of the huge strength of the Ming Dynasty, as well as a steady stream of various supplies, after the heavy loss, after all, conquered the lair of the Eastern Captives.

The battle seems to have been won by Hong Chengchou.

However, when the two of them came out of the rooms on either side, it was obvious that this result did not mean anything. Hong Chengchu seemed to be fished out of the water, soaking wet and exhausted.

Lu Xiangsheng, on the other hand, is much different, he seems to be more leaping and trying, more full of combat effectiveness, and more energetic.

"Your Majesty, the minister has lost." After coming out, Hong Chengchou simply admitted that he had lost, although he conquered the nest of Donglu and seemed to have won, but in fact, it was a tie at best, or a miserable victory at best. The Ming Dynasty he played, not to mention the great loss, although Lu Xiangsheng's nest is gone, but the people are still there, and there is still considerable combat effectiveness, it can be said that there is no defeat, and there is a chance to make a comeback. ,

Looking at Hong Chengchou who was drenched, Yang Reform was still very satisfied, the first contact, it was good to be able to achieve this level, although he made a lot of small mistakes, he was too cautious, the loss was a little severe, and the consumption was a little severe, but he did not make arrogant mistakes, and did not make all kinds of "incredible" actions.

"Hehehe, the Qing family can achieve this level, it's already very good, it has exceeded my expectations, it's good! Although the consumption is more severe, the loss is greater, but after all, it is a success, the Qing family has a cool head, the overall situation is quite good, the tactics are flawed, and it is rare to be able to supplement the overall situation...... "Yang Reform is now also an expert in deduction, but he gave an evaluation.

"Your Majesty Xie praised, but the minister is really ashamed." Hong Chengchou agreed a little tiredly, this deduction, the pressure on him was too great, and the guards told him that the situation of the two sides and the situation of both sides were real, including the names and combat power of each branch, which were corresponding, that is to say, what he was manipulating now was actually the life and death of many people, and it was the first time that he stood at such a height to decide the life and death of many people, and there were many names of people he was familiar with, this kind of psychological pressure was too great. Watching a lot of undeserving people die tragically because of their own mistakes is really stressful. Thinking that he played a good chess game like this, he was really ashamed, if it wasn't for the rules to win, who won and who lost, it's hard to say, if these are true, that is to say, he almost buried the situation that the Ming Dynasty had worked hard to reverse for so long, and failed the emperor's expectations of him.

"Hehehe...... the Qing family doesn't need to be too modest, this evaluation, the Qing family still deserves it." Yang reformed and affirmed Hong Chengchou's ability.

"Unexpectedly, Lu Qing's family is also a master of this sand table deduction, I look at Lu Qing's family's offense and defense, and it seems that I am extremely familiar with this sand table deduction? Quite familiar with the formation of troops? Yang reformed and judged Hong Chengchou, and began to judge Lu Xiangsheng again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been more interested in military books since he was a child, in addition to reading, he often delves into this aspect of things, looking forward to one day being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, serving the battlefield......" Lu Xiangsheng seems to be still in the mood, and the whole person is full of energy.

"Oh, is it? No wonder the Qing family behaved like this,...... Martial arts since childhood? I haven't seen it yet, the Qing family is a martial arts practitioner? Looking at the appearance of the Qing family, it doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts! Yang Reform said with a smile, to be honest, Yang Reform didn't believe it, this fair-skinned and thin scholar still practiced martial arts, according to Yang Reform's understanding, Lu Xiangsheng belonged to the kind of person who didn't have two or two flesh.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was born with a special talent, although he is thin, but he has strength, so he has practiced martial arts since he was a child." Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"Oh? Hehehe, but is there really such a thing? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed something to do." Lu Xiangsheng agreed.

"Well, next time I have a chance, I want to see if what the Qing family said is true, forget it today, it's not too early today......" Yang Reform wanted to try whether Lu Xiangsheng had martial arts on the spot, but looked at the sky and knew that it would not be possible, today's deduction, although it was left to two people quite a lot of time, but after a deduction, it still took too long to consume too long, this deduction is over, and there is no time for the second deduction, and the second deduction can only be carried out tomorrow. This went to the school to test Lu Xiangsheng's martial arts, and he definitely couldn't go.

"Obey orders!" Lu Xiangsheng agreed.

“…… Today, Lu Qingjia's performance is quite good, and it is quite remarkable to be able to deduce Dongyu to such an extent in adversity, beyond my expectations, which is really good......" Yang Reform continued to evaluate Lu Xiangsheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Lu Xiangsheng is modest.

"Originally, I planned to let the two Qing families play a role in each of them today, but unfortunately, the hour is not early, this deduction, it will be changed to tomorrow, today the two Qing family go back, take a good rest, and continue tomorrow, today's gains and losses, the two can also ponder more......" Yang Reform judged the performance of the two people, and let the two go back, and it will continue tomorrow, the training and exercise of the two people has officially begun, and since the "teammates" have been selected, they will naturally be treated as "teammates". Yang Gai doesn't want to have "pig-like teammates" anymore.

Hong Chengchou was very surprised, he thought that today's deductive confrontation would decide who would be the governor of Liaodong between the two of them, but he thought that he would perform poorly and would be eliminated, but he didn't expect that the emperor would let him go back to rest, review the gains and losses, and fight again tomorrow, that is, he still has a chance? Hong Chengchou couldn't understand the emperor's intentions now. He was very suspicious, looking at the emperor's eyes, and felt that the emperor was unfathomable.

Lu Xiangsheng is also a little unexpected, fight again tomorrow? The Emperor's intentions? It seems that the emperor does not want to use deduction to decide anything, but deliberately lets them know a lot of things, but intentionally lets them participate in some things, for example, if it is an ordinary deduction, there is no need to tell him the real data of these Ming and Dongyu, these are all wonderful secrets, he is a prefect of the fourth grade, where is he qualified to know this? However, Lu Xiangsheng's fighting spirit is becoming more and more vigorous, and he is more willing to face the battlefield when it comes to the battlefield and officialdom.

"Obey the order!"

"Obey the order!"

The two men agreed.

"By the way, today's matter involves confidentiality, and its content must not be passed on, including the process of your deduction, it must not be mentioned to outsiders, I want to solemnly remind the two of you, the king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body......" Yang Gai said again, explaining that the two of them kept it secret.

The two were even more surprised! This is really a secret, it's not as simple as the guards casually talking, the emperor's purpose is even more inexplicably surprising to the two.

"Obey the order!"
