Chapter 43: Assessment - Troubles and Happiness

It is said that Zong Liushou listened to Yue Fei's way of discussing soldiers, and was quite satisfied, in order to further investigate, he asked many difficult questions, Yue Fei calmly answered, and expressed his own opinions.

"Xianqi, the old man asks you another question, if the enemy is outnumbered and suddenly attacked, how should you deal with it?" Zong Liushou asked.

"If the enemy suddenly attacks and the number of people is overwhelming, do not mess with your own position, but deal with it calmly, or defend on the spot, or kill the bloody road, everything must be judged according to the changes in the battlefield. If you are besieged on all sides, how can you arrange your troops to arrange the formation, only to defend to the high ground, eliminate the enemy's sharp spirit, and then find the enemy's weak link and attack suddenly, catch him off guard, and then break out of the encirclement. Or encourage the warriors to fight to the death, the so-called breaking the cauldron and fighting against the water, leaving them to die and then reborn is this principle. Throughout the ancient and modern times, the battle column of winning more with less is not only based on a certain military book, but can be controlled by a certain meritocracy, and it is most necessary to have the right time, place and people. The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. In the battle of Long Spoon, Lu defeated Qi in one go. Xiang Yu's defeat of Zhang Han in the battle of the giant deer lies in Xiang Yu's determination to break the cauldron and fight against the water. In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's defeat was due to the light of the enemy and the loss of people. Cao Ying's defeat in the Battle of Chibi was due to the fact that he did not learn the surname Shui and lost the right time and place. The victory of the Jin Kingdom in the Battle of Weishui lies in the favorable time, place and people, and the wind and the wind are all soldiers, and the soldiers are cowardly without a fight. The way to use troops is to surprise the enemy, so that the enemy cannot measure the reality of our side, in order to win the victory. Yue Fei said.

Zong Liushou listened and sighed in his heart.

"Xianqi is really the pillar of the country, and Liu Duyuan can really be described as a hero with a discerning eye. It's just that Xianqi went to Beijing to take the exam this year, and it was not at the right time. Zong Liushou said.

"Why did Master Zong say that? Did the Holy Church cancel the exam this year? Yue Fei asked curiously.

"The saint did not cancel the Jinke exam, but now there is a vassal king in the capital, surnamed Chai Minggui is the descendant of the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Shizong, who guards Yunnan and is named 'King Xiaoliang.'" A few days ago, King Xiaoliang entered Beijing to face the holy pilgrimage, and I don't know who instigated him to take the exam. This Xiao Liang Wang has worked very well and is determined to win the champion of Jinke. Xianqi's skills are naturally no worse than him, but King Xiaoliang's backstage is very hard. The saint ordered four examiners: one is Dazai Zhang Bangchang, one is Wang Duo, the squire of the military department, one is Zhang Jun, the governor of the right army, and one is the official himself. That Xiao Liang Wang has already given each of the four of us a book and a gift. The three of them all accepted the gifts, Lord Zhang Bangchang agreed to King Xiaoliang's request, I think the prime minister agreed, and Wang Shilang and Zhang Dudu should have nothing to say. Although the old man confiscated the gifts, the three of them agreed to the exam, and the old man was alone. I think that the name of the champion will fall on King Xiaoliang, and the old man can't do anything. Zong Liushou said with a sad face.

"My lord, Wusheng has no money and no power, if you want to seek fame, it depends on your personal ability, listening to what your lord said, isn't Yue Fei hopeless?" Yue Fei asked.

"That's not necessarily, Xiao Liang Wang is the champion, as well as Bangyan, Tanhua, etc., you can all seek a future. To seek talents for the country, of course, it is necessary to select the best martial arts students who are truly talented and learned, but if you want to be fair and just, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble. Please rest assured, the old man is putting together the black yarn on his head, and he will say a few fair words for you in front of the emperor. Zong Ze said.

Yue Fei was grateful when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Xianqi, don't be polite, you and I should have had a long talk when we met today, but now that the court has many eyes and ears, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of others and leave the handle. Therefore, I will not leave you to sit any longer, and you will go back to your apartment until the exam, and I will inform you separately. Zong Ze said.

Yue Fei said goodbye and walked out of the yamen, and all the brothers rushed up and asked questions.

Yue Fei's face was clouded with gloom, and he didn't say a word.

"Big brother, what happened to the left-behind adults? Why is your face so ugly? Are you being bullied? You wait, my old cow will teach that dog officer who doesn't know what to do. Niu Gao said angrily, and was about to rush in.

"Niu Gao, you stop!" Yue Fei shouted.

Niu Gao immediately stopped and asked curiously, "Big brother, what's the matter with you?" Say it! A few of our brothers did their best for you outside, you are good, as soon as you come out, you don't say a word, what do you think in your brothers? ”

Yue Fei listened to Niu Gao's questioning and felt that something was wrong, a manly husband should be able to afford to put it down, and should not be narrow-minded and obsessed with trivial things.

"Brothers, it was the eldest brother who was wrong just now, and I made you worried, and the eldest brother apologizes to you here. The left-behind sect was very good to me, the two of us are simply friends who have forgotten the year, but this time we have encountered some troubles in the Beijing exam, let's go back first, there are many people on the road, and it is inconvenient to talk. Yue Fei said.

The five brothers didn't say anything all the way, and when they returned to the apartment, it was already afternoon.

Jiang Zhenzi saw that Yue Fei's brothers had come back, welcomed them upstairs, and immediately arranged for wine and food.

"Uncle Yue, the dishes are not to your taste, please forgive me, a few of you drink slowly, the villain still has many guests downstairs who need to be greeted, so I will leave first." Jiang Zhenzi said and went downstairs.

Yue Fei saw Jiang Zhenzi go downstairs, so he told everything that happened when he entered the yamen left behind, he didn't dare to tell his brothers about Xiao Liang Wang Zhi competing for the champion, he was afraid that the brothers would get angry and do something foolish.

The brothers listened to Yue Fei's narration and were full of joy.

"Big brother, since Zong Liushou values you so much, why are you still sullen? Is there something difficult to encounter? You might as well say it and let the brothers bear it together. Seeing that Yue Fei was still sullen, Zhang Xian felt puzzled and couldn't help asking.

"There's nothing embarrassing, it's just that I've been out for a while, and I'm worried about my mother at home and I don't know if I'm in good health?" Yue Fei said with a wit.

When the brothers heard this, their hearts were relieved.

In the evening, the left-behind yamen sent five people wine and food, saying that it was inconvenient to invite them to the house for dinner, so they specially sent them to wash the dust with the five people.

Yue Fei sealed two taels of silver and sent people.

"Big brother, this sect is really a good official, he actually brought us wine and food. Since it was sent by the yamen, there was no need to return to the table, and if you didn't eat for nothing, you didn't eat for nothing. Niu Gao said and ate and drank.

When the brothers saw that Niu Gao had eaten first, they also ate and drank.

"Brothers, it's not interesting to drink like this, if you make a drinking order, it will be a pleasure." Wang Gui said.

"Yes, a few of our brothers came to make a wine order, this banquet of wine was given to us by the left-behind adults in the face of Brother Yue, Brother Yue is the host of today's banquet, starting with him and ending with Niu Gao, if you can't pick up three glasses of wine." Tang Huai echoed.

"Big brother, you can take the lead! The brothers were waiting for the liquor order to be administered. Zhang Xian urged.

"You are all heroes, today I will use heroes as a topic to tell you a heroic story of the ancients drinking. Since I am the east, then I will say first: Guan Yunchang can be a hero when he goes to the meeting alone, and he can be a hero when he kills Huaxiong with warm wine. Yue Fei said, and after that, he drank a glass.

"Good!" The brothers cheered in unison.

"I won't give any orders, I only know that Cao Ying cooks wine and talks about heroes. The story of Wu Song's drunken beating of Jiang Menshen and Wu Song's fight against the tiger can be regarded as a hero? Zhang Xian said.

"Heroes, of course. Come on, it. The brothers raised their glasses and drank down.

"Liu Jizi is drunk and kills a snake, but he can be a hero." Tang Huai said.

"Well said! Cheers! Then they had another drink.

"Lu Tizhi punches the town of Kansai and can be a hero?" Wang Gui said.

The crowd cheered again and toasted.

When Niu Gao gave the order, he picked up his wine glass, drank three glasses in a row and said: "I, Niu Gao, am a rough person, I don't know those ancients, I only know that Master Zhou Tong is a hero, my eldest brother is a hero, and I am also a hero when I drink." ”

The crowd laughed.
