Several mountains and rivers with obvious regional signs, two meandering rivers that run through the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, have been formed in the blink of an eye under Li Yuanba's kneading and widening of the river channel. 【頂【点【小】【Say,www.

Archaeology involves all aspects, in addition to accounting for most of the historical knowledge, ancient tomb excavation, ancient cultural relics cleaning and understanding and other knowledge, you must also learn about the geography of mountains and rivers, civil surveying and mapping, and even Zhou Yi metaphysics related knowledge (brother is not studying archaeology, roughly nonsense, don't kill me).

Therefore, drawing a simple map or even simulating mountains and rivers is not difficult for Li Yuanba.

What's more, even ordinary Chinese people can stack Mount Tai and Xing'an Mountains, and outline the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, right?

"This, this is what you call a sand table?"

Seeing the mountains and rivers, the rivers slowly taking shape, and being able to know what place it was at a glance, the eyes of Li Shimin and others suddenly lit up.

"Yes, the previous sand table is slightly lacking in discernment, and if it is really applied to the war, I am afraid there will be some discrepancies."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanba paused before saying: "On the battlefield, the slightest discrepancy may determine the final victory of the war!" Therefore, in order to be able to understand the forms of both sides on the battlefield at a glance, in order to provide more vivid and intuitive information to the commander of the army, the integrity of this sand table is very important! ”

"If you follow what the prince said, how long will it take to lay out a complete war sand table?"

Li Ji, a yin man who is good at battlefield deduction, arranging troops, and conspiracy, took a few steps forward, gently kneading a mass of mixed soil with his hands, and his voice was a little low.

"That also depends on the specific role of the sand table!" Li Yuanba pinched a small piece of mud and said unhurriedly.

"What? In addition to displaying the terrain and simulating war, what other places can the sand table be used? Li Xiaogong looked at Li Yuanba. The eyes are bright.

Seeing Li Xiaogong's eyes that were about to light up, Li Yuanba bet that this thing must be thinking about making money.

Shaking his head, Li Yuanba continued: "Of course! The sand table is not only a military object for temporarily surveying the terrain in the event of war, but we can also conduct sand table exercises on other matters. This is not only reflected in the terrain display of the military department, for example, it can also be used on the engineering department......"

When he said this, Li Su's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle Four Emperors, for example, building bridges." Building embankments to simulate the ...... of the city"

"I often hear the people in the palace say that the children of ordinary people in Chang'an City are made of mud into all kinds of things, even small houses, spears, and short knives...... Isn't this sand table just a little Tang made out of mud? ”

A look of excitement appeared on Li Chengqian's face, he never thought that such a simple thing would be so useful.

"Sanshui, you go and get the topographic map of Chang'an County!"

Right now. Li Shimin, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and directly ordered Liu Sanshui to get the topographic map of Chang'an City.

Within a few breaths, Liu Sanshui ran over panting.

On the whole, Li Shimin is a good emperor who loves the people like a son. In addition, there may be a war at the border at any time, so a lot of maps of the Tang Dynasty were placed in the main hall of the Liangyi Palace.

There are all kinds of states, counties, and even the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The topographic map of Chang'an City was tiled onto the smooth marble floor. Li Shimin pointed to the map and said, "Yuanba, if you are asked to simulate the sand table of Chang'an County according to Chang'an County." Can you do it? ”

Li Yuanba carefully looked at the map of Chang'an County, and after about a dozen breaths, he said confidently: "Brother Huang, it only takes half an hour, and this sand table brother can make it!" ”

"Good! Then I'm just waiting to see this new sand table! Li Shimin's face could not hide his excitement, because he also understood the importance of this sand table.

"In this way, the imperial brother will wait for half an hour to see how the younger brother can turn decay into magic!"

While speaking, Li Yuanba rolled up his sleeves and said to Liu Sanshui beside him: "Sanshui, go get a small shovel and bring a big bucket of water!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Sanshui hurriedly ordered the two little eunuchs beside him.

"Lord Wang, the little shovel you want!"

After a dozen breaths had passed, two little eunuchs walked into the hall with great difficulty carrying a large bucket and a delicate small shovel.

Li Yuanba took the small shovel, and without saying a word, he picked up the shovel and slammed it towards the small platform.

A slightly earthy smell came, and in the dust, a little muddy water flew towards everyone with Li Yuanba's swing.

At this moment, everyone's spirit has been attracted by Li Yuanba's actions, where would they care about this little mud idea.

Li Yuanba first made a bold move to build a smooth chassis, and then according to the map of Chang'an County, he straightened out the terrain, and thousands of high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and the Qianliwan River went east and west.

"Come on, go to the West Inner Garden to get some evergreen leaves, get some small wooden sticks, and the four treasures of the study!"

Sketching out the Qinling Mountains for a long time, Li Yuanba glanced at the people behind him who were looking at his shape intently, and said.

"Gonggong Liu, why don't you go quickly, don't delay the sand table of the Four Emperors and Uncles in Chang'an County?"

Li Su and these boys have already been aroused by Li Yuanba's curiosity, and after hearing the words of his fourth emperor uncle, they can't help but start urging Liu Sanshui.

"Huh? Promise! ”

In fact, Liu Sanshui was already stunned, he really didn't understand, how this small piece of sand and soil seemed to have life in the hands of His Royal Highness King Wu, but it was only a short time before he had already figured out the general outline of Chang'an County.

At this moment, when he heard Li Su's words that seemed to be a little anxious, he finally reacted, and hurriedly ran towards the West Inner Garden with a few little eunuchs.

……

With the passage of time, this side is only a few meters in a circle, the majestic and majestic scenery of the ancient city of Chang'an has gradually taken shape, in the corner of this sand table, even stacked out of the Qinling Tianshan Mountain, in the middle of the ancient city of the two long rivers that flow slowly, is the Wei River and Ba Shui.

Some places that do not have obvious terrain advantages and cannot be seen at a glance are marked by Li Yuanba's whims, or simply directly planted a small flag with the name of the terrain on those small mounds.

As for what the small flag is made of, it is very simple, take a small wooden stick that is no more than one-third the length of the little thumb, paste a small piece of rice paper on the top of the small wooden stick, and write the name on the rice paper, isn't it a simple and easy to recognize landmark?

For Li Yuanba's whimsical ideas, these Wenchen generals who are accustomed to Confucianism and Taoism have fallen into sluggishness.

It's really Li Yuanba's things that are too advanced, where is this simple topographic map, it is clearly a standard reduced version of Chang'an County!

Finally, when the appointed time for half an hour came, a sand table in Chang'an County, which was obviously more famous than Fang Cai's Tutuozi, appeared in front of everyone.

"Brother Huang, fortunately I didn't live up to the trust!"

Finally, at the edge of the imperial city, the landmark of the Shenji Mansion was inserted, and Li Yuanba turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and his forehead even overflowed with sweat.

Li Shimin didn't speak, but patted him on the shoulder, ignoring the muddy water splashed on Li Yuanba's body.

Li Yuanba laughed, turned his head and pointed to the sand table of Chang'an County where he made zuò, and said: "Brother Huang, look, this long mountain range is the symbol of our Guannei, Qinling Tianshan Mountain, and this small piece is built according to the Qinling Mountains, and the place bordering Chang'an County is Zhiyang County, the fief of the younger brother. Look here, the ancient city of the four directions in the north, the big city sets the small city, and the small city divides the four directions......"

"Imperial City...... Fourth Emperor Uncle, I know here, this is the Imperial City, right? ”

Just as he was saying this, Li Hun, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected.

Li Yuanba glanced at Li Hun with a smile and said, "Yes, this is the Imperial City!" ”

"Sand table, what a sand table in Chang'an County!"

After looking at the exquisite sand table in Chang'an County for a long time, Li Shimin let out a sigh of admiration with emotion, and at the same time looked at Li Yuanba's eyes full of happiness and joy.

"Yes, this sand table thing is so magical, with this thing, it should be my Datang luck!"

Li Ji grinned, and his gaze at the sand table was like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, and it was green and shiny.

"Lord Li's words are not right! My luck in the Tang Dynasty is not this sand table, but His Royal Highness King Wu, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Wu, this sand table might still be as rough and simple as before! ”

Li Ji's voice fell, and Fang Xuanling opened his mouth to refute.

"Alas! If His Royal Highness could wake up a few years earlier, I am afraid that Weishui would ...... back then."

Fang Xuanling's words resonated with everyone, and an old man who looked like he was over the age of sixteen blurted out without thinking about it.

"Master Zhang......"

But as soon as he was halfway through his words, Du Ruhui interrupted him, because he found that Li Shimin's face had changed and became extremely ugly.

Weishui Alliance, that is an eternal pain in Li Shimin's heart.

The Weishui Alliance, also known as the humiliation of Weishui, refers to the alliance between Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty after the Xuanwumen Rebellion during the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Turkic Jieli and Turki Khans who besieged Chang'an.

In 626 AD, the Turks attacked Jingyang (now Jingyang County, Xianyang, Shaanxi), which was only 40 miles away from Chang'an, and the Beijing division was shaken.

At the same time, the strength of Chang'an City was only tens of thousands, and Li Shimin was forced to set up a suspicious plan, personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six Tang Dynasty military generals, on the bank of Weishui, and Jieli Khan across the river to talk, and angrily reprimanded Jieli and Tuli two Khans for breaking the contract.

Jieli saw the majesty of the Tang Dynasty army, and saw that Li Shimin promised gold and silk property, so he asked for an alliance.

Two days later, Li Shimin and Jieli Khan signed a peace agreement on the Weishui Bridge in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, in which the two sides beheaded the White Horse and formed an alliance, and the Turks led their troops to retreat.

This is the 'Weishui Alliance'. (To be continued......) R527
