Don't look at Li Shimin and the ancients, they have never thought of making the sand table more refined, but it doesn't mean that they can't hear the great usefulness of the combination of the new sand table and the kind of military chess described in Li Anran's words just now.

Just fun, in the training of new generals with troops, there is no way to compare with modern time and space in ancient times. If you want to cultivate a famous general who is not only on paper, in addition to reading more military books, you also need a lot of actual combat experience.

But the question is, not to mention whether there are so many battles for you, even if there are, who is willing to hand over an army, or even the future of a country, to the hands of a military "junior brother", the risk is so great that no one dares to take the risk.

As for the method of starting from a low level with the army, it has existed since ancient times, but this practice is too slow for cultivating famous generals. Moreover, often a person who is not careful, and is likely to become a famous general, will die halfway.

But if Li Anran said that this kind of new sand table and military chess can really be made, even if Li Shimin and they can't compare the detailed settings of such games in later generations, they also know that even if the final effect can only be folded in half, it is enough.

"Listening to what the real person said, it turns out that the sand table can still be so useful." Li Shimin, who had already made up all kinds of possibilities in his own brain, couldn't help but poke the sand table in front of him, and the expectation of the new sand table in his heart became more and more urgent.

And Cheng Biting Jin, although they did not speak up because of Li Shimin's identity, everyone's eyes when they looked at Li Anran and the sand table shone brightly. It is estimated that if it were not for Li Shimin's presence. And Li Anran's identity is also relatively special, so it is estimated that he will start early.

In fact, Li Anran can also say something more valuable and valuable, such as the idea that you can establish a military academy, and then use the new sand table and those generals and even veterans who have been fighting for many years to cultivate a new generation of military talents.

It's a pity that although Li Anran still didn't plan to attack Datang after weighing it. But considering that he still has to develop in this time and space, if Datang develops too strongly, wouldn't it be a stone to shoot himself in the foot, so he didn't say anything.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a sand table in the Tang Dynasty before, I was a little surprised. Let Cheng Yanjin see something. Li Anran didn't even plan to tell the new sand table and what kind of military chess it was.

Anyway, the Tang Dynasty was originally strong in history, otherwise it would not have made Zhenguan prosperous. What's more, today's Datang is already a little stronger than in history, and it has improved dramatically in agriculture alone. It is enough to support a more powerful military force in a different direction. Even if you don't talk about this, it will not have any adverse impact on the development of Datang.

Fortunately. It's all already said, and there's no point in regretting it. In addition, Li Anran originally planned to throw some good things out appropriately and continue to maintain a good relationship between himself and Datang. Of course. It would be so nice if the relationship could go further.

Therefore, after seeing the eyes of the famous generals led by Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin looking at him full of eagerness, Li Anran did not hide it, but continued: "In fact, this sand table is not only limited to the needs of wartime. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Li Shimin, who was still eager for someone to take out the new sand table, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then forced the ecstasy in his heart to ask, barely keeping a calm voice.

"Holy stop, although the sand table can be used for virtual deduction, but if you really want to talk about it, this thing is actually very useful. For example, the Ministry of Industry in the construction and maintenance of cities, traffic arteries, rivers, etc., with this sand table, it is easy to have an intuitive understanding. ”

"At that time, whether it is to repair or renovate a local place, or to carry out follow-up planning for the entire city, roads, and rivers, it will be more convenient than in the past to rely on so-called data, and at the same time, it is not easy to make mistakes."

Originally, I really didn't think that the sand table, which has always been used only in military affairs, could have any other uses. But after listening to what he said just now, the eyes of Li Shimin and a group of famous historical generals suddenly became brighter.

As the old saying goes, it's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to defend the world.

Don't look at Li Shimin, who has already sat on the throne of the Tang Emperor, and after a series of decrees and various arrangements after ascending to the throne, this son has become more and more firm, but as an emperor, he will still have a headache for the construction of the Tang Dynasty.

can be understood according to what Li Anran just said, a city and a river can be planned with a sand table, so what about a continent? What about a Tao? Even the entire Datang, wouldn't it be possible to use a sand table for overall planning?

At that time, wouldn't there be no more headaches for not knowing what was going on? Once something goes wrong, we only need to deduce it according to the intelligence on the corresponding sand table, wouldn't it be possible to find out the real situation on the ground and reduce the behavior of lying and concealing reports?

Once the war resumes, wouldn't it be better to be able to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes when he looked at someone were even more "wrong".

"Real person, I wonder what kind of sand table you are talking about? Can you ......?" although he did not finish speaking, the meaning of Li Shimin's words was clear at a glance. And Cheng Biting Jin on the side also looked at someone with anticipation on their faces.

Facing the eyes of this group of pure masters, who seemed to be gray wolves, when they saw the Pleasant Goat, Li Anran was really a little uneasy. No way, this feeling of being surrounded by "wolves" is too emotional, and it really makes people feel creepy.

"Saint, the kind of sand table in the upper realm, I don't have enough things on hand right now, and I can't make it." Li Anran, who spread out his hands and looked regretful, said.

"This ......" Faced with such an answer, the expressions of the ancients, including Li Shimin, suddenly collapsed.

Seeing that a group of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty and the dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were all "teased" by themselves, Li Anran, who satisfied his own bad taste, said: "However, although I can't make that kind of sand table, I can use some existing things to make a simplified version." ”

"Great goodness! Real people, what do you need, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I don't need it! Li Shimin, who had just been beaten from heaven to hell, and now saw that he had returned to the hope of the world, and hurriedly patted his chest and said.

Li Anran, who originally planned to throw this bait out in exchange for some benefits, pointed his finger and said: "I don't need anything special, some sand and soil like the sand table, some wood, some thatch, and some water in addition." By the way, if you have cement, you can also have a little cement, and if you have a carving knife, you can also have one. ”

Li Shimin, who originally thought that he needed something terrible, saw that it was just some ordinary items, but he didn't ask too much while being puzzled, and handed over the matter to Cheng Yanjin, who was the master, with a wave of his hand.

I have to admit that the efficiency of the big family is really not to say. It didn't take much to hand over the matter, and all the things that Li Anran asked for were sent to this room.

After the things arrived, Li Anran was not polite, and directly bulldozed all the original sand tables. Then I recalled in my mind the topography from my villa to the south gate of Chang'an City, and only started after a while.

With the original sand table at the bottom, with the help of clear water and sand, Li Anran easily shaped the area of Chang'an City, Xiaoyao Villa, Commercial Street, and Gewu College, and even pulled out the riverbed.

After waiting for the general appearance in the sand table, Li Anran took out the fine grass that was obviously freshly picked and laid out the woods, grasslands and other environments in his memory. Although the material is relatively simple, the effect is still clear at a glance.

In addition, Li Anran also used a carving knife to roughly carve the wood sent a few times, and then cut it off and put it on the sand table, although it was only a rough carving, but Li Shimin and they still saw at a glance that there were pavilions, pavilions, bridges, houses and other buildings.

After more than two quarters of an hour, after Li Anran carefully poured the water into several riverbeds solidified with cement, a local topographic map of Chang'an City, which was more delicate than the sand table just now and was many times more accurate than the road, appeared.
