The next day, they set off from the northwest camp and turned to the southeast along the official road.

Entered the territory of Yan Kingdom, but did not have reached the destination, in addition to crossing Linyang County, but also across Yichun County, after these two counties, to reach Huiji County, where Yanjing City is located.

Linyang County is the smallest county in the six counties of Yan State, and the resources are also extremely scarce in a county government, the most important thing is that Linyang Pass on the border of Linyang County is the gateway to Yan State, and the Northwest Army has been stationed under Linyang Pass with heavy troops, all kinds of factors combined, although the Hu family, one of the nine great families of Yan State, has a deep-rooted power in Linyang County, but it can still only be the weakest family in Yan State.

Since the founding of the country, the Hu family has always been allied with relatively powerful families to keep their place in the Yan Kingdom, and such a weaker family can only ensure the survival of the family battle in the Yan Kingdom through such a strategy.

Nearly twenty years ago, the Hu family had formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Han family in Donghai County through in-laws, and the heroes and heroines of the in-laws were Han Mo's parents, Han Xuanchang and Hu Xueying.

Therefore, Han Mo is related to the Hu family in Linyang County.

Starting from the northwest camp and rushing to Linyang City, the main city of Linyang County, it only took two days, on the way, Han Mo rode less horses, but shared the carriage with the red sleeves, except for occasionally accompanying the red sleeves to talk and tell stories, most of the rest of the time was reading books day and night, and the books he read were naturally the two volumes of the art of war given to him by Xiao Huaiyu.

If you read the book itself, it won't take much time to read it, but it is definitely not easy to understand the truth and mystery in the middle.

Xiao Huaiyu did not pretend to be profound in the book, but wrote it very easy to understand and very straightforward, as long as people who knew a little bit of words could understand the literal meaning.

It is undeniable that these three military books are indeed military classics, covering a wide range, if you are proficient in it, make use of the battlefield, you can make a difference.

But Xiao Huaiyu's military book is quite special.

Obviously, his military book is only aimed at the current war situation in the world, and it is full of pictures and texts, and expounds in detail the military strength and military characteristics of the four countries in the Central Plains today.

The book is divided into six chapters, in addition to the "Wei Chapter", "Qing Chapter", "Wind Chapter", and "Yan Chapter", there are also "Brief Chapters" and "Tao Chapters".

The first four articles mainly elaborate on the military situation of various countries.

The combat characteristics of each team, the advantages and disadvantages in the operation, the performance of the equipment and weapons, the styles of the equipment and weapons, the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons, and so on, all in all, the book is as in-depth as possible The military situation of various countries is expounded, and it is accompanied by many drawings drawn by Xiao Huaiyu himself.

The first four articles in Xiao Huaiyu's Art of War account for only a quarter of the space, and the other three-quarters are "Abridged" and "Tao", and these two articles are also the essence of Xiao Huaiyu's use of soldiers.

There is also a detailed classification, which analyzes the training, the use of troops, formations, tactics, and so on.

The first four articles are easy to understand, and the last two articles are large in content, rich in coverage, and seem simple, but the truth in them can not only be understood literally.

Han Mo knew that these were Xiao Huaiyu's ways of using troops for many years.

He is still a little flattered now, and he doesn't know why Xiao Huaiyu would teach him such a soldier's experience, which seems to be a little difficult to explain in public and private.

Yu Gong, he is just a very ordinary young general, in Beijing, even if Xiao Huaiyu wants to pass on the art of war to a person who can be passed on, he will only choose from the Northwest Army, such as the six general soldiers under him, there is no need or reason to pass this military book to himself.

For private reasons, the relationship between Xiao and Han is now in the worst stage since the founding of the country, and Xiao Huaiyu should not teach him his experience in commanding troops from the interests of his family.

But this impossibility has become a reality.

Even if he arrived in Linyang City in the past two days, Han Mo still couldn't figure out why Xiao Huaiyu did this.

In the past two days, Han Mo barely put down the book in his hand, seeing Xiao Huaiyu's art of war, at first glance, it seems to understand a lot, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems to understand very little, and after reading it carefully, he found that he didn't seem to understand it at all, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that many tactics could almost be described as unbelievable.

It's just that there is a sentence in it, but Han Mo remembers it deeply.

Xiao Huaiyu wrote a sentence in the book very lightly, about the difference between excellent generals and ordinary generals.

An excellent general is often able to make the most correct choice with his experience and intuition in the most critical time, so as to unswervingly carry it out.

Believe in yourself!

When Han Mo saw this, he was greatly moved, and faintly understood the meaning of Xiao Huaiyu's conversation with himself about Wu Tianshao.

This sentence alone is extremely meaningful.

As a general, there are countless soldiers under his command, and at a critical moment, any decision he makes is related to the life and death of countless soldiers, and at this time, the pressure on the general will be unprecedentedly huge.

Generals are also flesh and blood, and in a critical situation, when the whole army is unstable, whether it is victory or psychology, there will be great discomfort due to huge pressure, and even confusion in the mind.

At such a moment, an excellent general can maintain enough calm, judge the situation, rely on his own experience and judgment, and make the most correct choice at that time.

……

When the mission was still twenty miles away from Linyang City, the county guard of Linyang County and the head of the Hu family, Mrs. Hu, had already led the officials of Linyang County to the post station to greet them.

Mrs. Hu is Han Mo's grandfather, and after seeing each other, she naturally couldn't help but sigh.

The envoy entered the city and settled down in Linyang City, while Cao Yin and Han Mo, accompanied by officials of all sizes, attended the reception banquet at the mansion of Old Lady Hu.

After the banquet, Cao Yin stayed in the Hu Mansion under the help of the old lady Hu, and Han Mo went to his grandfather's mansion, which was naturally different from other people's feelings, after the banquet, he first went to see his grandmother who was still alive, and then met some other relatives in the house, the old lady naturally pulled her grandson, and was full of pity, and had a good speech.

Han Mo was naturally a lot more relaxed in front of the old lady, he often came to Yangcheng to live when he was young, he was very familiar with the Hu Mansion, and the maids who had served in the mansion for a long time also knew this little young master, and they were very familiar with each other.

Waiting until late at night, Han Mo persuaded the old lady who was not in good health to sleep, and then he was alone with the old lady Hu.

The grandfather and grandson didn't say much first, picked up the wooden weapon in the courtyard, and first had a discussion, which was what Han Mo had to do every time he came to Hu Mansion. It used to be the grandson of the old lady Hu, but now that the young man has grown up, the old man is even older, although the old lady is still ambitious, but the body is not as good as before, Han Mo's kung fu can not be the same as the beginning, more than 30 times, the old lady is tired.

It's just that Han Mo knew that the old lady was a very competitive person, so he kept his hand quietly, and after more than 20 rounds of fighting, Han Mo deliberately showed a loophole, and was pointed at by the old lady's long stick, so he immediately dropped his weapon and said with a smile: "Grandpa is really powerful, Mo'er is not grandpa's opponent." ”

The old man also put down the wooden stick, and laughed: "You little monkey grandson, let your grandfather, don't you know when your grandfather?" sighed: "People are old, they are no longer as brave as they used to be, if my grandfather is ten years younger...... No, at the age of five, you monkey cub is no match for the old man. ”

Han Mo said with a bitter face: "Grandfather, you call your grandson a monkey cub, if your father hears it, he is afraid that he will have an opinion on the foreign guild, then wouldn't he scold his father for being a monkey?" ”

The old man's eyes rolled, "He still dares to deal with the old man?" Don't forget, when your mother got married, the old man told her to clean up the third child of the Han family, and the third child of the Han family dared to have an opinion on the old man, and it was strange that your mother didn't pick his skin. Yes, grandson, your family, or your mother is in charge of your son, right? ”

Han Mo grinned and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, my mother said east, and my father didn't dare to go west." ”

"That's good." The old man laughed heartily, and the next person brought water, and the grandfather and grandson washed themselves, and Han Mo helped the old man to sit down on the chair in the courtyard.

The Hu clan is a rare martial arts training family among the nine great families of the Yan Kingdom, and the disciples in the clan can read and read well, but they can't practice martial arts.

Moreover, whether the Hu clan is a descendant or a side branch, within the prescribed grade, must participate in the martial arts competition held by the family every two years, ranking among the best, not only has a rich monthly silver in the next two years, but also the family will promote the elite children of these clans when they have the opportunity, and if those who are ranked extremely poorly, sorry, not only will there not be a penny of monthly silver in the next two years, but they will also be concentrated and placed in a desolate place, and the family's special master will be forced to train in the family for two years.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere that some women of the Hu family can also play a few hands, known as the title of the Hu family's women's army, Han Mo's mother Hu Xueying was one of them at the beginning, and she was the leader of the women's army.

Therefore, although not everyone in the Hu family is a master, they do have disciples of martial arts, which is unique among the major families in Yan Kingdom.

Although the children of the Han family are free and forced to practice martial arts, they are mainly aimed at the children of the lineage, and the children of the side branches are not so strict.

Although there are not many children of the Hu family who serve as high-ranking officials in the army, there are many middle and low-level generals, especially in the Northwest Army, there are really many children of the Hu family.

This is naturally also a big hole card of the Hu family.

The grandfather and grandson sat down and talked for a while, and the old lady asked Han Mo what he had seen and heard in Qingguo, and after listening to Han Mo's introduction, the old lady sighed: "Qingguo people are also fortunate to have this Shang Zhongli, otherwise it would be ......!" He shook his head and said the same thing that Cao Yin once said to Han Mo: "This Shang Zhong is close to death, and Qingguo is only afraid that it is not far from destroying the country." ”

Han Mo stood behind the old lady with a smile, gently slapped his shoulders for the old lady, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, after Shang Zhongli dies, should I destroy it with Dayan, or should Wei destroy Qing?" ”
