"Alas, old man, it's really useless." Li Jing, who was sitting in the study, thumped his sore left leg, let out a sigh, and muttered a sentence, his mind was a little tense - since he was injured three and a half years ago, Li Jing's body has been day by day, although he does not need to be in charge of political affairs on weekdays, but the early dynasty always has to go, this stop is a morning, the old injured leg has never recovered, every time he returns home, he will always ache for a while, and he will think of the past of those Jin Ge Iron Horses in the past, how not to make Li Jing sigh.

It's been three years, and it's been three years since he left the army, although he has been promoted to the high position of the right servant, but in fact he is a mud bodhisattva who doesn't care about things, which makes Li Jing, who has a lot of skills, very sad - it's not that he is incapable of managing things, it's not that he doesn't want to take care of things, in fact, he doesn't dare to take care of things, without him, there is always no end for the master, isn't it? Even if Li Jing is now in a semi-retired state, there are still many people who sue him in private, if it weren't for Li Shimin's open-mindedness and being very comparable, then what awaits Li Jing can only be the fate of being executed, is there still less such things in history that unload the mill and kill the donkey? How about Hanshin? Isn't it also a god of war, and his achievements are high? But in the end, it didn't end up in a ruddy end.

Hey, maybe it's time to retire and retire, and I'll be on the chapter in a few days. Li Jing was secretly sad for a while, made up his mind to say goodbye to the old, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a small sip lightly, and a fragrance slid through his throat, which made Li Jing feel refreshed and gently praised: "Good tea." ”

"Xianggong, this tea is naturally a good tea, and it was specially sent to you by His Royal Highness the King of Han." A magnetic voice sounded beside Li Jing.

"Oh, ma'am, here you are." As soon as Li Jing looked up, he found that it was his wife, Hongfu, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"It's been a long time, and when the concubine saw that Xianggong wanted to be fascinated, she didn't dare to interrupt." Nearly sixty years old, but she still looks like a beautiful lady in her early thirties, Zhang, said with a smile: "Xianggong, His Royal Highness the King of Han really has a heart, this tea is said to have been brought by him from Hangzhou to Xianggong, and the concubine sees this child as good." ”

"Hmm." Li Jing replied noncommittally, his face couldn't help but darken, how about Li Zhen, Li Jing, who has been Li Zhen's teacher for more than two years, naturally has a number in his heart - smart, persevering, calm, his talent is the only person Li Jing has seen in his life, even if he is today, he may not be able to have Li Zhen's unforgettable ability, and it is naturally a great fortune for the teacher to be able to pass on people like this, but it is a pity that Li Zhen's identity as a prince has never dared Li Jing to really teach him his skills, and he wants to take a look at it again, Let's determine whether this talented Han King is reliable or not, at this time, I heard the red whisk girl talk about Li Zhen, but Li Jing didn't want to say more, just smiled and said: "Red whisk, your vision has always been good, if you also think it is good, it must be good." ”

The Red Whisk Girl has been with Li Jing all her life, and she has long been familiar with Li Jing's character, and as soon as she heard this, she knew that Li Jing was still hesitating, so she didn't want to say anything more, so she changed the topic with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard Haike (a businessman in overseas trade) say that the overseas Buyeo country was captured a few years ago, and the leader claimed to be surnamed Zhang, could it be the eldest brother?" ”

The eldest brother in the mouth of the red whisk girl is naturally the famous bearded guest, since he was ashamed of himself not as good as Li Shimin, he went overseas, there has been no news, a few days ago Li Jing also heard people talk about the affairs of the Buyeo country, and there are also some suspects that the lord surnamed Zhang is the bearded guest, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he didn't dare to really believe it, at this time he heard the red whisk girl talk about it, and naturally understood that the red whisk girl missed the righteous brother, and laughed busily, and was about to say something to comfort him. Suddenly, when he saw the butler rushing in, his face sank suddenly, and he asked lightly, "What's so flustered?" ”

"Back to Xiangye, back to Xiangye, His Royal Highness the King of Han went to the door, and also, with a huge thing." The old housekeeper was rushed by Li Jing's unkind tone, knowing that he was afraid that he would come at a bad time, and his mouth was immediately a little unfavorable, and he stammered back.

"Huh?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, he didn't react for a while, without him, today is the day of the early dynasty, and it is also one of Li Zhen's few days of rest, in the past, Li Zhen never came to the door at such a time, but this time not only people came, but also brought the "big guy" here, it is strange that there is no strange thing here. Li Jing frowned and thought for a while: "Let's just say that the old man is tired, let him come back tomorrow." ”

"Yes." The old housekeeper replied respectfully, turned around to leave, and the red whisk girl hurriedly spoke: "Slow, Xianggong, His Royal Highness the King of Han is visiting at this time, and there may be something important, so why not meet Xianggong." ”

"Well, just let him in." Li Jing thought about it and nodded.

Soon after the old housekeeper left, Li Zhen arrived, followed by a group of big guys covered with cloth, and slaughtered them outside the study. As soon as she saw Li Jing and his wife, Li Zhen took a few steps closely, bowed and saluted with a respectful face: "The student has seen Li Xiang and Mrs. ”

The red-whisked girl just smiled and nodded, but did not speak, while Li Jing frowned and said, "Why is Your Highness looking for the old man so anxious?" ”

What's the matter? Haha, we're fishing for your big fish, so you'd better take the bait obediently! Li Zhen was very proud in her heart, but her face was full of gentle smiles, and she replied softly: "Li Xiang, the student occasionally thinks about it and gets a sharp weapon, I don't know if its function will be successful, so I specially ask Li Xiang to make a judgment." ”

"Huh?" Li Jing has long been accustomed to Li Zhen's whimsical ideas, to be honest, Li Jing still admires Li Zhen in his heart for being able to come up with novel things such as furniture and printing thaumaturgy, and his curiosity is great for a while, but he is also a little vigilant, he is afraid that Li Zhen has set up an ambush in his words, he frowned, and looked at Li Zhen for a while before saying: "The old man is shallow, I am afraid that he will not be able to help His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Royal Highness is better to find someone else to appreciate it." ”

Yes, the old man is really cautious, hey, find someone else to do something, we are relying on you to be old. As soon as he heard Li Jing's prevarication, Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Back to Li Xiang's words, others can't see the good or bad of things like students, and only Li Xiang can have this ability in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Poor mouth." Li Jing picked up the shelf of the seat master and snorted lightly, but his curiosity was completely hooked by Li Zhen, and he glanced at Li Zhen and said, "Then take it." ”

Haha, that's what you want from your old words! Li Zhen smiled proudly, and didn't say much, let the thing be erected, carefully carried into the study, waved his hand, signaled the people to stand down, walked in front of the thing by himself, stretched out his hand and lifted the cloth covering it, revealing a huge terrain model, and a large number of small flags of various colors, which turned out to be the sand table soldier flag deduction tool in later generations,

Others may not understand what kind of thing this thing is, but Li Jing saw the military use contained in it at a glance, stunned for a moment, vaguely guessed Li Zhen's true intention, his face suddenly became a little difficult to see, and he was about to open his mouth to send off guests, Li Zhen's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly picked up those small flags of various colors, and said with a smile: "Li Xiang, this thing is called a sand table, and its purpose is to deduce the war with it, which is conducive to the use of arranging troops, the students plan to dedicate this object to their father and promote it in the army, so as to strengthen the military prestige of our Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Zhen's words were high-sounding and eloquent, but Li Jing was not easy to refuse for a while, and looked at Li Zhen with a pair of eyes as sharp as a knife for a while before saying: "How does Your Highness plan to let the old man identify?" ”

Ha, hooked! Li Zhen was secretly refreshed in his heart, but his face was very calm and said: "These small flags in the hands of the students are divided into seven colors, at most they can play the battle of the seven countries, each color flag is divided into different levels and a number of handles, each level represents a specific number of troops, and some characteristic flags represent water attacks, fire attacks and other strategies, this terrain can be arranged according to the actual terrain, the participants arrange troops on it, deduce the progress of the war, and can also simulate fighting each other in their spare time, in order to perform the war, Li Xiangruo does not believe it, The students are willing to demonstrate a game with Lee Sang. ”

Li Zhen's proposal was completely to sell a big axe in front of Lu Ban, but Li Jing did not refuse, got up calmly, walked to the sand table, looked at it carefully, and did not speak, but just stretched out the palm of the big fan.

Hey, it's done, let's learn the ability of the god of war! Li Zhen is very proud in her heart, without him, Li Zhen has put a lot of thought into this sand table these days, and has already figured out all kinds of offensive and defensive methods, which can be regarded as cheating. Li Zhen handed a small red flag to Li Jing, but he chose the blue flag by himself, and said with a smile: "Li Xiang, the red flag is the main defense, the blue flag is the main attack, each side has 200,000 troops, the red side has five cities, all of them are lost, and the blue side has four cities. ”

Li Jing just nodded, but did not speak, Li Zhen smiled and pulled up a frame on the sand table, covered it with a cloth, which was regarded as blocking the sight of both sides, and took a deep breath and said, "Li Xiang, you can start." Li Jing on the other side of the mask didn't say much, but just hummed to indicate that he understood.

Li Zhen had no formal military training in his previous life, but he didn't read a lot of military books, and books like the Thirty-six Strategies were memorized, and even Li Jing's "The Art of War", which had not yet been officially written at this time, had also been read, of course, it was just an incomplete version, as for strategy games, it was Li Zhen's favorite, and the likes of "Three Kingdoms" and "Grand Strategy" played very smoothly, at this time, in the face of a generation of military gods, he was not stage frightened, and quickly picked up the flag and set up a position on the sand table, swaying, but also a little scolding Fang Xuan's posture.

Aha, the old man really chose to defend the middle and attack the contraction defensive formation, hehe, there are not many troops on the front line, and the big heads are hiding, hehe, see how we force out your old main force. As soon as the curtain retreated, revealing the entire frontline layout of the Red Army, Li Zhen looked at it, but he was very happy, picked up the flag and began to dispatch troops, the troops were divided into three ways, the main attack in the middle, and the two ways to block reinforcements, and in an instant, the two cities were connected, and more than 20,000 people on the red side were "cut under the horse", and then divided into joint attacks, killing the main city of the red side, the soldiers were sharp, and everywhere they passed, they constantly defeated or annihilated some small blocking troops of the red side, and the momentum was very strong, of course, Li Zhen did not forget to leave some covering troops along the way to ensure the safety of the grain route and the rear, just like that, the 140,000 army gathered under the main city of the red side, and there was a posture of annihilating the red side in one breath, on the other hand, Li Jing's red side seemed to be passively beaten everywhere, the main force continued to shrink, and suffered heavy losses along the way, and finally 50,000 remnants of the army were trapped in the main city, putting on a posture of a final decisive battle, as for the rest of the troops, they were in the east and scattered in the west.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you! Seeing that Li Jing's forces were relatively concentrated in the main city, Li Zhenke honestly and unceremoniously launched a strong attack, according to the fixed casualty siege ratio (2:!). Seeing that the main city was about to be taken, Li Jing suddenly opened the curtain completely, revealing his hole cards - but seeing that the 40,000 elites held in Li Jing's hands suddenly appeared on Li Zhen's right side, he didn't go to relieve the siege of the main city at all, and quickly marched to the baggage logistics center set up by Li Zhen, and the scattered troops that were originally a lump in the east and a bunch in the west suddenly seemed to come to life. Just a little mobilization to block the troops sent back by Li Zhen to rescue, and when Li Zhen hurriedly killed the stragglers who stood in the way, his own rear camp had already been ended, and then Li Jing did not go back to save his main city at all, and killed the hinterland of the blue side along Li Zhen's way, poor Li Zhen Most of the troops have been mobilized under the main city of the red side, and those nodes that originally thought they could ensure the back road were simply unable to block the attack of the Red Army, and it was too late to return to the division to rescue, and there was no food and grass to move, I could only watch as the Red Army swept away its own rear like a bamboo.

Depend on! Lao Tzu fights! Li Zhen saw that the situation was no longer good, so he simply did not go to the rescue of the hinterland, and desperately attacked the main city of the red side, planning to take the main city of the red side, and then make plans after obtaining supplies and a foothold. It's a pity that this wish was still frustrated, seeing that Li Zhen's superior forces were about to capture the main city of the red side, a fire broke out, and the red side defending the city hung a flag indicating the fire - the remnants of the red side actually set fire to the main city! Although the 60,000 horses and horses of the red side defending the city were all wiped out, the city was destroyed, not to mention that Li Zhen's main army had no food and grass, and even a foothold was gone, and the defeat was assured!

Erh, that's okay too? Cheating, it's cheating! Li Zhen was so dizzy that she couldn't wait to scold her, but when she thought about it again, she seemed to be cheating herself, and suddenly softened like a deflated ball, and hung up a white flag indicating defeat with a red face, and her face was full of frustration.

"Good." Li Jing got up, said with a flat face, paused, and asked suddenly: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, what can I do?" ”

Well? What does it mean? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Li Jing said——, the previous sentence "very good" refers to the fact that this sand table props are very practical, and the latter words are to ask Li Zhen what his plans are in the future, to be honest, as far as Li Zhen's current situation is concerned, it is already in the limelight, not to mention that those new furniture have made a lot of money, and the printing technology is not only making a lot of money, plus the world's fame, if the sand table military performance props are presented again, the fame will be unmatched for a while, and it is inevitable to cause the dissatisfaction of other brothers, I am afraid that it is difficult to avoid the situation of being jealous and even plotted.

This question is very sharp, but it is a question that cannot be bypassed, Li Zhen has not thought about this matter, but he thinks that as long as he doesn't play those gangs and factions, he shouldn't have a conflict with the party that started to seize the heirs, but well, this is a matter of knowing in his heart, but he can't say that, but the old man has already asked, and he has to answer it? Li Zhen was silent for a while, and said calmly: "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of good fortune and misfortune?" ”

Yes, Li Zhen's words plagiarized Lin Zexu's poems, but they shocked Li Jing, and with Li Jing's knowledge, he naturally knew that this sentence came from "Zuo Chuan" Zheng Guozi's production of Yunzhi "Profit Sheji, death and life." The allusion, but the original text is not as sonorous and powerful as Li Zhen's sentence, and for a while his mind was in a trance, and he muttered in his mouth: "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of blessings and misfortunes?" After a long time, he glanced at Li Zhen and said lightly: "It's good to bring the "Ape Gong Sword Spectrum" early tomorrow morning." As soon as he had finished speaking, the man turned and left the study.

What? What's the "Ape Gong Sword Spectrum"? Why does this name sound so familiar, could it be the "Book of Heaven"? Li Zhen didn't understand the meaning of Li Jing's words for a while, and was stunned on the spot, and even Li Jing forgot to bow when he went out. The red-haired girl smiled, walked up to Li Zhen, who was in a daze, patted Li Zhen's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, please go back, Xiangye promised to teach you the art of war and martial arts." ”

What? Wow! It's done! Li Zhen was overjoyed, almost jumped up, and couldn't wait to shout a few words loudly to vent the joy in her heart, but well, just think about it, Li Zhen is not shallow to that extent, quickly took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the excitement in her heart, and saluted respectfully to the red whisk girl: "Mrs. Xie mentioned, the student understands, and he will leave." ”

"Well, let's go." The red-haired girl was very satisfied with Li Zhen's calmness, and looked at Li Zhen's departing back, with an appreciative smile on her face......
