Hu Bugui and the others saw that General Lin was angry, and his momentum was very extraordinary, and they were a little worried in their hearts, and they were all silent and did not dare to speak.

Speaking of this art of war, although Lin Wanrong is not proficient, there is a universal truth - if you can become a general and win a battle by memorizing a few articles on the art of war, aren't the people who have read military books all over the world a general who has won a hundred battles?

Du Xiuyuan was the only one who passed the exam among several people, Lin Wanrong calmed down and asked, "Brother Du, what do you think of this art of war exam?" ”

Du Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "The combination of the art of war with actual combat has practical significance. In this investigation, although the style is novel, it is a textbook, and it is not flexible, and it only needs to be familiar with the words in the military book, and it can be passed. Brother Hu and others have been fighting for many years and have rich experience in actual combat, and they put forward a variety of assumptions on that topic, which are very different from the military books, so they were judged to be unqualified. ”

Lin Wanrong nodded, didn't speak, stared into the distance, and silently thought about something.

A little white horse came from afar, it turned out to be Li Wuling who went and returned, he had gone far this time, and had passed through the entire training ground, his head and body were covered with dust and yellow sand, but his face was full of eyebrows and excitement.

"Little Lizi, why are you so happy?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.

Li Wuling held on to the saddle, jumped down with his small body, and said with a grin: "Lin San, I just told my grandfather, he authorized me to participate in this military exercise, but, Brother Hu and Brother Li, you have to wait-"

Lin Wanrong glanced at Hu Bugui behind him suspiciously, and Du Xiuyuan said with a smile: "That's the case, we were excluded from the military exercise in those days, and we were really depressed, and we were about to complain to General Lin, but we were suddenly stopped by this kid." ”

"Oh, what did he stop you for?" Seeing Li Wuling's tiger head and tiger brain, his dark eyes dripping and rolling, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but feel fond, patted Xiao Lizi's head and asked.

Hu Bugui grinned and said: "What else can you do, this kid bragging, he said that as long as you bring General Lin here, he will have a way to let us participate in this exercise, but now General Lin is here." What this kid promised, but there is no shadow of it. ”

Damn, I'll be able to get you to participate in the exercise? Lao Tzu is not an emperor. As soon as Chrysostom opens, anything can be done. This little plum bragging is too mysterious.

Several people looked at Li Wuling with fierce eyes, and were deeply dissatisfied with his dishonesty. Li Wuling smirked and said, "What are you anxious about, this non-military exercise has just begun, and there is an opportunity." Look, can't I just participate? If you wait a little longer, you will be invited to participate. Hehe, if I fulfill my promise at that time, a few of you have promised me, and the master will not go anywhere else, find the largest yard in the Bada Hutong, pick some of the best looking powder, and serve the master to drink. ”

Hu Bugui, Xu Zhen and the others all snorted disdainfully, and they didn't believe his words anymore. Lin Wanrong smiled, looking for fans in the eight alleys, this kid has a lot of tone, I'm afraid that if you go, it will be difficult for you to protect your little boy's body. However, Li Wuling is loyal and good, and he has a bold and cute personality, which is really cute.

Several people thought that what Li Wuling said was a joke, and they didn't take it seriously, looking at the battlefield fighting Zhengjue, suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and looked around, several fast horses passed through the long yellow sand set off by the drill, crossed the phalanx of the foot camp, and were galloping towards this side.

Hu Bugui was the most anxious, took a look, and immediately said excitedly: "It's General Li Tai who is here." ”

On the horse in front of him sat a majestic old general, with a bronze helmet and iron armor, holding a spear, and galloping towards this horse, it was General Li Tai, who scolded Lin Wanrong that day.

What is this old man doing? Didn't I break down with him? Seeing the smug smile on Li Wuling's little face next to him, Lin Wanrong was deeply puzzled.

Li Tai was still followed by a handsome white horse, a female knight sat on the horseback, wearing a white veil mask, unable to see the face clearly, the figure was very graceful, the fast horse followed behind Li Tai, the riding skills were not weak, but the white yarn had been covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Boy Lin San, I've seen General Li. Don't come unharmed, old general. Seeing Li Tai dismount, Lin Wanrong stepped forward with a smile and said.

Li Tai glanced at him, and hummed with a solemn face: "On the battlefield, military discipline is serious, no noise, you are giggling like this, what kind of system do you become, where is there still a sergeant." He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has a majestic momentum that has killed countless people, and his face is even more terrifying.

I'm no longer a soldier, old man, Lin Wanrong screamed in her heart, crying and laughing. This old General Li is probably used to commanding troops, and when he sees a person, he has to treat him as a request from his soldiers. Lin Wanrong was full of flowers, but he respected this iron-blooded generation of celebrities from the bottom of his heart, and when he reprimanded him, he nodded honestly and said yes, not to refute, and Hu Bugui and others who watched it secretly called themselves surprised. General Lin, who was born with one thing and one thing, and who was not afraid of the sky, even Lord Xu Wei couldn't stop him, but he was so well-behaved in front of General Li.

"I've seen the general." Hu Bugui and the others were all generals under Li Tai, and when they saw the commander, they didn't dare to be as casual as Lin Wanrong, so they all clasped their fists and shouted respectfully.

Li Taiwei nodded, pressed his saber in his hand, but his eyes fell on Lin Wanrong and said, "Lin San, I heard that you took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in this battlefield military exercise, yes or no?" ”

What the? Lin Wanrong's mouth opened wide, damn, when did I say it, I didn't see me dressed so casually, what kind of military exercises did I participate in, you play with me.

Hu Bugui and the others were stunned at first, and then Qi Qi looked at Lin Wanrong happily, it turned out that General Lin was hiding this hand, good guy, he was really calm and calm, he didn't see any flaws.

"Old General, when did I say that? Did you hear it wrong? Lin Wanrong shouted hurriedly.

Li Tai said solemnly: "Nonsense, how could the old man hear it wrong." It was Wuling who personally reported that you were willing to lead the army to participate in the military exercise. Let's have a real combat exercise. That's when I hurried over. Are you repentant? This is in the army, and there is no joke. ”

Lin Wanrong glanced at Li Wuling in horror, but saw that the kid glanced at Hu Bugui and the others triumphantly, and the expression on his face was as spirited as he was.

Du Xiuyuan and others finally knew Li Wuling's intentions for General Lin, this trick to drive ducks to the shelves and urge sows to go up the trees is really wonderful.

Lin Wanrong glared at Li Wuling fiercely. No wonder this little plum said that as soon as I came, he would have a way to let Hu Bugui and others participate in the drill, but it turned out that he was using me as bait.

Li Tai saw that he was hesitant. Then he said loudly: "You can mislead the country for a moment in the army." Lin San, tell me how did you decide? "He was majestic. deliberately put pressure on Lin San to force him to comply.

It's terrible, I don't have any preparation at all, so let's have a real combat drill. Isn't this a clear indication of me? Seeing the pleading eyes of Hu Bugui and others, Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth. Damn, isn't it just a drill, my third brother Lin was afraid of who would come, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he hummed: "Okay, I'll come." ”

A smile appeared in Li Tai's eyes, but he hid it in time, and said to the woman who followed him: "Zhiqing girl, how the two of them are assigned, you can tell me." ”

Zhiqing girl? Damn, no wonder it looks familiar, it turned out to be Xu Yatou, a sample, veiled, wearing a vest, I don't know you? He smiled and hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be Miss Xu, tsk, I didn't see it, you don't show your face, it's better than showing your face." ”

"Nonsense." Li Wuling retorted: "Aunt Xu looks a hundred times better with her face than without showing her face. He spoke sincerely, and before he could react that he had fallen for Lin San, Hu Bugui and the others desperately held back their laughter, it was really fast to repay the world, this little Li Zi had just plotted against General Lin, and he was beaten back in a blink of an eye.

This person's words are full of organs, Xu Zhiqing snorted, and said with a smile: "Today's military exercise, the wind and sand are big, and the little woman's physique is weak, so she covers her face, General Lin don't blame." Although you took the initiative to ask to join, you can't mobilize the soldiers and horses on this battlefield, and you can choose the rest. ”

Hu Bugui and the others immediately shook their fists, laughed, and their gratitude to Li Wuling was overflowing, and the matter of inviting him to visit the Bada Hutong was decided. Li Wuling also looked at Lin Wanrong with a blank eye, he was a supernumerary and only when General Lin nodded, he could act as a pawn.

Lin Wanrong sighed slightly, and said with a bitter face: "The elite generals who are proficient in the art of war have been picked away by the assistant general, so I have no choice but to choose these self-taught wild generals, alas, it's really unfair." Oh, by the way, Miss Xu, did you read the military exam held by the auxiliary general, Miss Xu? ”

Xu Zhiqing shook her head slightly and said, "I only found out yesterday, so I glanced at it slightly." ”

Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "I wonder what the result will be if Miss Xu goes to take the exam?" ”

Xu Zhiqing said confidently: "The book of the art of war, Sun Tzu and Liutao I have read it through, if it is based on this proposition, Zhiqing is confident that no one can be stumped." ”

Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and said, "Cow! In this way, Miss Xu is a well-read military book, erudite and talented, and she is naturally the world's number one famous general when she fights. ”

Xu Zhiqing is extremely smart, how can she not know his thoughts, and said with a smile: "The book of the art of war is made in actual combat and turned into books, which is the result of the ancestors' hard work, and has great reference value. She paused slightly: "But the times change, the environment changes, and the art of war must also be adjusted and changed accordingly. ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Bugui and the others immediately listened comfortably. Li Tai is a battle-hardened veteran, and his use of the art of war goes without saying, he glanced at Lin Wanrong and said with deep meaning: "Lin San, in your opinion, what is the relationship between this art of war and actual combat?" ”

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "The art of war is the crystallization of the wisdom left by our ancestors, which is extremely precious, and it is also the best model for us younger generations to learn. It is true that we should learn the art of war, but the method of learning is very different, and the art of war is not about reading, taking the top prize, or writing eight shares, it is an esoteric theory. Soldiers, treacherous, time has changed, place has changed, and the tactics of war must change accordingly. It can be said that there is no wrong art of war in this world, but someone used it at the wrong time. To put it simply, just like we can read and write, everyone can read and write. But to make a quatrain for the ages. Then few people have done it. This soldier can learn, and if you want to talk about exams, they must all have full marks, but how many of them can become a generation of famous generals throughout the ages? Therefore, the art of war is only a foundation, which can be studied in depth, but it cannot be judged by right or wrong. Integrate the art of war into actual combat, and learn and learn, and learn and fight. Only when you understand it well, this is true invincibility. ”

Li Tai stroked his beard and nodded, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly erased, and his face returned to that solemn look and said: "This art of war exam is specially held by the partial generals in my account for the selection of generals for military exercises. This drill is mainly based on him, and the commander will not interfere, and it is useless for you to say more, it is all lip service. If you have the ability to do this, you will defeat him on the battlefield. ”

***************

Since he started, he couldn't retreat, Lin Wanrong didn't know who the general who assisted Li Tai was, and he was close to actual combat, this was a Taoist encounter, Lin Wanrong's heart was pounding, but he also felt more excited.

Hu Bugui and the others had already quickly retreated to change their armor, Li Tai glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Lin San, if you fight this battle well, it will be beneficial to you." ”

Although Li Tai didn't say a few words to him, he always looked serious and didn't smile, and it was rare to be so kind in front of him.

Lin Wanrong shook his head, and said with a light face: "I don't want benefits or anything—don't believe it, I, Lin San, rarely have a time when I am not greedy, but if I really say it, I will definitely do it." Old general, I told you the truth, I have no ambitions, and I am at peace with what happens, but when I encounter difficulties, I have never fallen down. The reason why I am involved in this today is that I don't want to see Brother Hu and Brother Li buried, they are all brave and resourceful iron-blooded men, and they have the ambition to serve the country, if they are buried, no matter how much money I make and how many wives I marry, I will feel uneasy. ”

Xu Zhiqing heard it in her ears, but she was a little moved and a little funny. This person doesn't know how to practice his skills, it is obviously a moving rhetoric, but it always makes people angry at the last sentence.

Li Tai has experienced wind and frost, and he has already developed his fiery eyes, and when he saw his expression, he finally showed a smile: Xu Wei is right, this Lin San is an outside ruffian, and his heart is hot. Stripped of his messy and bells and whistles, he is a bloody hero.

Li Tai smiled and said, "You kid, am I an old fool?" Who is the gold and who is the sand, the old man can naturally see it clearly, so you can rest assured. Today, it will be good for you to fight a good battle and show more skills. ”

"What benefits? 10,000 taels of silver? After the bloody complaint, Lin San's face habitually flashed a cheap smile, Xu Zhiqing shook her head when she saw it-Lin San must have been possessed by a soul, and this is the real one in front of him.

Although Li Tai is not smiling, he listens to his words, but he is also happy, this kid really has a character.

"What silver?" Li Tai stiffened his face and said, "It's much more important than silver." Look, what's that—"

The old general pointed from afar, and Lin Wanrong looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that on the farthest city wall, which was rehearsing the attack, it was full of flying yellow flags, and the flag was embroidered with a long flat animal with teeth and claws.

"What a big snake!" Lin Wanrong exclaimed.

When everyone heard what he said, they were stunned and speechless. Hu Bugui and the others glanced at each other in horror, General Lin didn't burn out his brain. Xu Zhiqing clenched her small fists, her little face flushed, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she desperately held back her laughter.

Even Li Tai, who was extremely calm, burst out with green tendons on his forehead, cold sweat flowed down, and his voice trembled: "Lin San, what do you say is that?" ”

"What a big golden snake." Lin Wanrong nodded, and said conclusively.

"It's over, I can't win this battle today." Li Wuling said dejectedly, with such a coach, if he can win, it will be unreasonable.

"Man, you can't be ignorant to this point." Li Tai exclaimed: "The old man has lived for a long time, and he can recognize the golden dragon as a golden snake, Lin San, you can be called the first person in ancient and modern China and abroad." ”

Golden Dragon? Lin Wanrong was taken aback, and then looked closely, but it turned out that the flag was fluttering in the wind, and the folds hid the dragon claws in the corners, if you didn't look carefully, it would be a big snake.

Lao Tzu is ignorant enough, Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the golden dragon flag appeared, and the one who came up from the city tower was not - "Emperor?" Lin Wanrong was startled, but jumped up and said loudly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this kid was not stupid enough to go home, knowing that this golden dragon was a symbol of the emperor's family, and I hope he would not recognize it as a "big snake" next time.

Lin Wanrong's heart was beating rapidly, if it was really the emperor who came, wouldn't it be 80% likely to be my father-in-law?

In the fluttering of the golden dragon flag, a luan driver rose above the city tower, and countless guards and followers surrounded the forest, surrounding the royal driver. The soldiers who were training on the battlefield, whether they were standing, running, lying on their stomachs, or crawling, all stood up and bowed, and then tens of thousands of people knelt down and kowtowed together: "Bow to the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Tens of thousands of people knelt down together and shouted long live, tsk, I really haven't seen this scene. Lin Wanrong stood by the saddle, taking advantage of the fact that everyone else was kowtowing to the emperor, and looked at the emperor on the dragon chair with wide eyes. The two sides are far apart, and I can only vaguely see a figure wearing a winged crown and a golden dragon robe, but I can't see the face clearly, and I don't know what this emperor's old man looks like, and he doesn't look like Qing Xuan.

I was dreaming in my heart, but I saw that Li Tai, Xu Zhiqing and others who were kneeling down had already stood up, thinking that it was the emperor who shouted flat. Lin Wanrong pretended to pat the dust on her knees, Xu Zhiqing raised her head, although her jade face was covered in a light veil, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes, as if she had seen something.

"Now you know." Li Tai nodded to Lin Wanrong and said, "As long as you perform well today and let the emperor remember you, the future will be limitless." ”

Lin Wanrong remembered what he said to Xu Wei a few days ago, if he wanted to enter the palace to find Qing Xuan, there was no other way, only when the emperor opened the golden mouth. I was worried about how to see the emperor, but I didn't expect to encounter such an opportunity by mistake today, it is really better to choose a day than to hit the day, for the sake of Qingxuan, today's battle must be fought.

Li Tai hurried to meet the driver, and Xu Zhiqing arranged the rest. Xu Zhiqing is a pedantic man, and has been on the battlefield several times to fight with the Hu people, and is a real heroine, not only Li Tai's nominal daughter-in-law, but also the military advisor of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Expedition in Dahua.

"Miss Xu, how are you going to fight this battle today? Are there any constraints? Lin Wanrong asked seriously. His mood has now changed from asking me to fight to I am going to fight, and his speech is a little less stubborn and more serious.

"There are 1,000 people on each side, and everything is close to actual combat, regardless of means, no matter the strategy, only the result." Xu Zhiqing's eyes gave off a calm light and said lightly.

Hu Bugui and the others had already changed their armor and led the soldiers and horses over majestically. Lin Wanrong nodded, close to actual combat, regardless of the means, these two points are too good, this is such a battle.

In the face of the thousands of strong soldiers under his command, Lin Wanrong was sincerely pleased, all of them were as strong as calves, Lao Hu and Lao Du trained Lao Tzu's soldiers well. Most of them are familiar with the ground holes, and they are all veterans who followed him to fight in Shandong, and many of them are elites who survived a bloody night when they killed the first warrior of White Lotus, and their loyalty and combat power are absolutely no problem.

Lin Wanrong's palm bent slightly, a faint excitement appeared in his heart, and he calmed down his mood, facing the life and death brothers, he didn't need extra words, he smiled slightly: "My name is Lin San, has anyone forgotten me?" ”

Thousands of soldiers let out a burst of good-natured laughter, the day's miscellaneous grain and grass soldiers, now has already become the elite of the elite, seeing the humorous but brave and tenacious General Lin standing in front of him again, many people suddenly recalled the past life and death, weal and woe together, and their eyes were filled with faint tears.

Lin Wanrong waved her hand, as if she said casually: "Are you ready?" ”

"Kill-" Thousands of soldiers let out a neat and powerful cry together, which shocked the heavens and the earth a little.
