In the corner of the courtyard of "driving, driving ......", Liang Yi rode a wooden horse and swayed back and forth with a wooden sword in his hand, very happy.

Liang Shun, the fourth brother next to him, looked at his little brother expressionlessly to prevent him from falling from the wooden horse.

The second Liang Jing and the third Liang Yun have a chessboard in the middle, each with a pot of black and white chess pieces, and they are playing against each other.

Of course, the brothers played not Go, but backgammon.

Ning Ze still wrote his thirty-six plans silently, and he didn't put down the brush until his hands were sore and took a break.

Seeing him stop, Liang Kai, who was standing next to him, turned his gaze: "Finished writing?"

"It's early! just a little rest. Ning Ze replied with a smile.

For several days in a row, the five sons of Liang Teng's family all ran here and got along well with him.

Everyone is of the same age, so they can talk about it. What's more, there are all kinds of interesting things here.

"Mr. Ning's ingenious ideas are endless, and there are new tricks every day, which I really admire!" Liang Kai glanced at several younger brothers, "Several of our brothers are a little discouraged! Yi'er can't ride a real horse yet, so Mr. will make a wooden horse, and the second and third brothers don't like Go, so you can make a backgammon and serve it! If you want to play, Mr. is talented!"

"Don't go out and talk nonsense, Ling Zun knows that it's nothing, if Lord Taishou hears it, it is estimated that he can kick me out of the Liang Mansion now." Ning Ze smiled and shook his head.

"When it comes to his grandfather, Kai has heard of the conversation with Mr. Ning that day. Liang Kai said seriously, "Why did Mr. tell my grandfather that the bandits of Pangli Mountain will be defeated this time?"

"It's just the truth!"

"Grandfather Wen Tao Wuluo, why should the little thief be afraid?" The topic turned to his grandfather, and Liang Kai became serious, "Besides, we have a lot of soldiers, and we can easily break it by besieging the thief army! ”

It is normal to maintain the elders, and Ning Ze didn't bother to argue, just smiled slightly in response.

Liang Kai continued: "Sir is talented, can make weapons and play with literature, and understands the languages of other countries, why should he use the art of war to favor his grandfather? This is not the right way! If you can concentrate on the development of weapons and equipment, you will be reused!"

"That is, since you are not good at the art of war, there is no need to talk nonsense, so that grandfather will not like it. Liang Shun interjected.

"The art of war is only a little bit of knowledge below. Ning Ze replied, "The Taishou Institute's strategy of suppressing thieves is really inappropriate. ”

"When my grandfather commanded the army, Mr. was afraid that he was still in the womb, how can you know everything about victory and defeat?" Liang Yun held the chess pieces in his hand and looked up at Ning Ze.

Although he is getting along well, when it comes to his elders, he still chooses to protect his family as a matter of course.

"The way to win or lose is not a battle of words!" Ning Ze responded indifferently, "A battle in the coming day can be confirmed." ”

"You said that my grandfather would definitely be defeated when he led the army to recruit the bandits in Pang Li Mountain, but I would like to know why! If you can't tell why, don't blame me for not being merciful!" Liang Jing's smile disappeared from his face, revealing an unhappy expression.

"Second brother!" Liang Kai hurriedly stopped.

The second child has an impulsive personality, and he admires his grandfather the most, and he usually plays well with Ning Ze, but he still gets angry when it comes to this.

Ning Ze had long expected that the other party would have such a reaction, and responded with a smile: "Since the second son wants to know, Ze will naturally tell the truth." It's just that it's not easy to understand the empty words, so I'll make a gadget and talk to a few sons in detail. ”

"What are you going to do again?!" Hearing this, Liang Jing, Liang Yun, Liang Shun, and Liang Yi all came over and stared at Ning Ze with their eldest brother Liang Kai.

He made fun things every day, although several older sons used the excuse of playing with their younger brothers, and they also played crazy.

In this era, you can start a family at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and you can be regarded as an adult. Some even have to work to survive at the age of twelve or thirteen, which is different from the peaceful and stable world. But after all, I haven't really grown up, and it's normal to be playful.

After Ning Ze met these five sons, he actually had an idea in his heart.

Although Liang Chun doesn't take himself in his eyes and doesn't listen to any opinions, he is the biological father of the life-saving benefactor, and it is not a good thing if he really dies in the battle against thieves in Pang Lishan.

I got along with them a few days ago, just to lead this paragraph, and wanted to let Taishou Liang Chun know from the side that the thief plan was inappropriate, and give up this operation.

For this reason, we have also been prepared.

"Liang Wu!"

"What does Mr. Ning command?" Hearing the shout, Liang Wu, who was resting next door, quickly appeared.

"What you asked Uncle Liu to make in the morning, can you help me get it?"

"Okay!"

What did Uncle Liu entrust him to do in the morning? The five sons of the Liang family looked at each other.

After a short time, Liang Wu, with the assistance of several other slaves, carried a square wooden basket into the courtyard.

The basket was covered with a layer of sand, and inside were stones, leaves, and small flags made of discarded fabric.

Asked Liang Wu to carefully place the square wooden basket in the middle of the courtyard, and Ning Ze got into a wheelchair and came to the front of the wooden basket.

"What is this?" The five sons of the Liang family gathered around with curiosity, including Liang Wu and the other slaves, who also looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"Simple sand table!" Ning Ze sat on the wheelchair and motioned for Liang Wu to hand a slender bamboo stick next to him to his hand, and gently pointed to the square wooden basket.

"Simple sand table?" It was the first time that a few sons had heard of it, and they knew what it was. In their eyes, it was a pile of sand, rocks, rotten leaves, and rags.

"How do you play this?" Liang Yi is more concerned about this.

Ning Ze smiled slightly, and pointed to the surface of the sand table with a bamboo stick: "If a few sons want me to make it clear, then use the sand table to explain, which is more intuitive and easy to understand." ”

"What is this, and what is it for?" Liang Shun frowned at him.

Obviously, there is no sand table in this world, and everything on earth is new to them.

Ning Ze was unhurried, pointed to the sand table and said, "A few sons take a closer look, do you feel familiar with the terrain?"

Hearing this, the five sons of the Liang family all bowed their heads and bent down, carefully examining the sand table for a long time.

But at the end, they couldn't see anything, and in their eyes it was still a pile of sand, rocks, rotten leaves, and rags.

"I don't understand, sir, it's better to say it directly!" Liang Kai looked up helplessly.

If you change to Liang Teng, I'm afraid you can see it at a glance!

But also, the intelligence of these sons is not as high as that of being a father.

Helpless, Ning Ze directly pointed to the sand table with a bamboo stick: "A few sons, based on the surrounding terrain of Huajun, use this thing to show the map." The four sandbags here represent the city of Huajun, and the stone piles erected here are Pangli Mountain, and the surrounding forests are replaced by leaves, and these blue cloths are used instead of rivers......"

As soon as he said this, several sons and brothers reacted, but they all looked disgusted.

"Sir, Kai understands!" Liang Kai said, "It's just that this terrain is not half similar......

"The delicate sand table is not easy to make, and it takes a lot of time. Ning Ze replied, "That's slow work and careful work." In the following, it is just so that a few sons can understand, and make a simple sand table meaning. Shall we get back to the main topic?"

"In other words, you want to use this so-called sand table to tell us why our grandfather couldn't win the campaign against the Pang Li bandits?" Liang Yun asked.

"Exactly!"

"I'd like to hear what you have to say!" Liang Shun said solemnly.

"In that case, please also ask the fourth prince to play against me in the sand table!" Ning Ze smiled and took the bamboo strip and clicked a large handful of small pebbles on the side of the sand table, "These represent the army, a hundred people." I will take fifty of them, and my son will take one hundred, which is in line with the strategy of guarding the thief. Play the role of Pang Lishan thief in the next, and the prince will lead the troops to attack with the ether defense strategy, and see how to break it down!"

"It's a little interesting!" Liang Kai's eyes flashed, and he became interested, "It's better to let me come, the fourth brother is not familiar with his grandfather's strategy." ”

"It's okay!" Ning Ze didn't care, "Liang Wu, can you please help me fall?"

"Mr. Ning is injured, so naturally the small one will do it for him. Liang Wu immediately picked up fifty small pebbles.

On the other side, Liang Kai also asked the slave to pick up a hundred small pebbles from the edge of the sand table.

These pebbles are smaller than marbles and are about the same size.

After the two sides picked the stones, Ning Ze looked at Liang Kai with a smile: "Big boy, please!"

"Okay!" Liang Kai thought carefully, recalled the strategy of suppressing thieves mentioned by his grandfather before, arranged the troops in full accordance with the plan, and surrounded the stone piles representing Pang Li Mountain with pebbles, "Our army surrounded Pang Li Mountain at this time, surrounded by buckets in all directions, cut off the grain route, could not enter and exit, and trapped the thief army in the mountains, what is your strategy?"

"That's right! What is your plan? The bandit army will not have too much food to survive for a few days! How are you going to arrange your troops? Do you force a breakthrough? The archers are already waiting at various intersections!" Liang Shun interjected on the side.

Seeing the five sons staring at him, Ning Ze smiled all over his face, and pointed to the leaves covered on the stone pile with a bamboo stick: "Although the bandit army has little food, the resources in the mountains are abundant, you only need to divide a hundred people to find the wild vegetables and fruits, and then a hundred people to hunt, I am afraid that there is still a place to cultivate on the mountain......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the blue cloth around him with a bamboo stick: "This mountain is surrounded by water on all sides, and the lake on the east side can only enter the boat, so it is not suitable to attack." Fish here and eat meat. There are mountains, water, prey and arable land, I am afraid that if the army of 10,000 people can run out of food, the bandits are still fine. To put it mildly, you can eat tree bark and grass roots until the food of the officers and soldiers runs out first! This mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are rivers and lakes to block it.

"This ......" The five sons looked at each other with surprised expressions.

Liang Kai reacted and hurriedly said: "Grandfather can order to set fire to these three places, Pang Li Mountain is densely wooded, the weather is dry at this time, and the fire plan will definitely be able to break the thief!"

"Yes, just a fire meter, it's easy to break a thief. Liang Shun nodded immediately.

Ning Ze smiled indifferently: "Pang Li Mountain is surrounded by water on all sides, so it is not suitable to set fire." In addition, it is only necessary to dig the soil and sand in advance and accumulate along the area to stop the fire. Besides, it has been extremely hot and humid recently, and if it rains heavily during the attack on the mountain, the fire plan will not be successful!"

"How did you know that there would be a sudden heavy rain on the day of the mountain attack?" Liang Shun frowned.

"For example, the weather is here, and it's very likely. Ning Ze said, "Moreover, the official army is arrayed, and the mountain can be seen clearly at a glance, so the formation only needs a wave of night attacks, and the thief army will win a big victory!"
