Chapter 14: The Teachings of Chunchun

As soon as he knelt down, the entrance ceremony was also announced, and Pei Xingjian led Liu Yi out of the side room and back to the study.

At this time, the identities of the two are no longer the same, Pei Xingjian has become Liu Yi's master, naturally the tone of some speeches is also different, Pei Xingjian also has more love in his eyes, after sitting down, he looked at Liu Yi and said: "Yi'an, look at the current dynasty, the generals and generals of the military guards, and the teachers feel that they are stronger than you in all aspects, including talent, and there is really no, in terms of their own surname, no one can compare with you, and many things in you, even as a teacher, do not understand..."

Pei Xingjian stopped Liu Yi's prepared explanation, and continued: "The things in the world are always impossible for people to understand, and it is impossible for people in the world to have all the insights, with your talent, and the favor of the emperor and the queen now, he said that his achievements must not be under the teacher, and he will enter the phase, this is the wish of the teacher for a lifetime, but it may not be realized, alas..."Pei Xingjian said and sighed, shook his head, and then said, "I hope you can help the teacher realize this dream..."

Li Jing and Li Shiyun are the most typical representatives of the general and the prime minister. It's just that although Li Jing said that he became the right servant of Shangshu, this is a natural position of prime minister when he was in Zhenguan, but he did not have too many achievements, he was wise and self-preservation, and rarely expressed his opinions in the court, which made Pei Xingjian sigh a little for his ancestor; And as a famous disciple of Li Jing, Li Shiyun is in the court, and he is in power, this is the figure that Pei Xingjian admires the most, and he has always hoped that one day, he can be like this. Pei Xingjian's master Su Dingfang is a layman in court affairs, the highest position is the general of the left guard, and because of the close past with Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others and was criticized, compared to his own ancestor and teacher, and even Li Shichang, Pei Xingjian felt that he was more talented in all aspects, and had made achievements in cultural and martial arts, and the achievements were not under these ancestors, but because of the reasons of private discussion of Wu Zetian, and has not been reused as it should be, and obtained the desired position, now it seems that if you want to advance to the phase, it is really unlikely, Especially after returning from this expedition, the things he experienced in the court and the rewards he received all show that without Wu Zetian's approval, it is impossible to be crowned with the title of "three products under the door of Tongzhongshu".

Pei Xingjian felt that he was not too young, and his health was getting worse, and he also hoped that the newly recruited disciple Liu Yi could do it.

"The teacher's trust, Yi just dare not forget, but Yi is also a layman to the court, some of the twists and turns are not clear, and I really don't have the confidence to do that step, "out of the general backwards, into the phase, to be the prime minister in the court of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yi feels that this has far exceeded his own ability, although he said that he has more than a thousand years of knowledge accumulation than the people of this era to enjoy, but for the governance of the current world, but I feel that it is still inferior to these ministers in the court, especially in the way of ministers, Liu Yi is so young" Outsiders", how can they be compared with those old foxes who have been in the court for many years, not to mention that Liu Yi also knew that Pei Xingjian had a son who had been the prime minister later, and he wanted to say that Pei Xingjian would say such a sustenance to his son, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Yi'an, you are still young, and now you are serving in Qianniuwei, you will see the battles in the court, you also have to analyze carefully, make friends with some ministers with similar surnames, increase your influence, and let some ministers obey you!" Pei Xingjian looked at Liu Yi and said, "Some of the low-level officers in your army who went out this time, a few of them were personally arranged for the division, Huan Yanfan and Jinghui, these two people will not be ordinary people in the future, you have to train them to be loyal to you, and Zhang Qianxuan, there is a teacher, you will have the opportunity to make military exploits again in the future, presumably he will also obey you, how to subdue them, you have to do it yourself... and Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi, who joined the army in white this time, are both extraordinary people..."

"Yes, Teacher, Yi understands!" Liu Yi nodded hurriedly in agreement. Pei Xingjian said it so carefully, how could he not understand.

"Your talent in martial arts has been recognized by most people, including Your Majesty and Niangniang, there will definitely be more opportunities to go out in the future, I hope you can grasp every opportunity and make new contributions!" Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "If the division can lead the army again, it will definitely take you there, and it will give you greater reuse, I hope there will be such an opportunity!"

"Teacher, look at the fact that there are very few generals in my Tang Dynasty who can command the army, who else can you be? Presumably, the next time you go to Tibet, you will definitely be in charge!" Liu Yi said with a flattering tone.

Although the leader of the army stationed in Qinghai is excellent during this time, but there is still a lack of experience, his position has also been rapidly promoted in the past two years, and his qualifications are still shallow, if he wants to lead the army, not to mention whether he is capable of doing it, that is, whether he can serve the public in terms of qualifications, it is still a big problem, for the general is completely different, the black tooth Changzhi can lead one or two thousand people to win the battle, but not necessarily able to lead more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of people to win the battle, and the growth process of the handsome is very long.

There is also Cheng Wuting, this general who is very famous in history now only takes the position of Zhonglang general, and is a little bit worse than the position of being able to lead the army, except for these two famous generals who Liu Yi has heard of in later generations and can become the commander of the army in the future, Liu Yi really can't think of anyone else who can lead the army.

Other high-ranking generals in the dynasty are still lacking in ability and appeal, even those who lead the rank of general like Li Duozuo and Qiu Shenxun are the same, not to mention those who lead the rank of general, such as Wu Sansi, Li Zhishi, Cao Huaishun, Cui Xiantun and others, these people can only lead all the way to the battle.

This is the sorrow of the Tang Dynasty, there are only a handful of generals, and there are no suitable leaders who can be found in the war.

"Yes, this is the last thing the teacher wants to see!" Pei Xingjian also agreed with Liu Yi's statement, nodded and said, "Some generals with good talents are still young and inexperienced, and they still need to be tempered in actual combat... I hope that in the near future, you will be the one who can lead the army!"

"Enshuai, the apprentice will definitely work towards this goal!" Liu Yi is very heroic.

"I believe there will be this day!" Pei Xingjian nodded, "On the one hand, you are not too worried about the teacher, you must have made a great difference, on the other hand, you haven't performed much, but from the point of view of some of the suggestions you put forward about national politics, the teacher thinks that some of what you think are very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, some of the things you have said to the teacher, including the disposal plan for the Turkic tribes, and the governance method of the newly occupied land, no one has thought of it, you have to find an opportunity to say to Your Majesty and Niangniang, if they agree with your statement, it will be very good." … Attention, look for opportunities, understand? ”

"I understand!" How could Liu Yi not understand that he still had many governing plans in his heart that had been summed up from the experience of later generations, and he was ready to put them forward to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

"That's good, presumably these ideas will eventually be approved by the two saints, and," Pei Xingjian motioned for Liu Yi to come closer to him, and said in a low voice: "About Princess Taiping!" Princess Taiping's performance at the celebration banquet is in everyone's eyes, looking at the performance of His Majesty and Niangniang, and did not severely block the princess's behavior, it seems that there is some acquiescence, and the teacher also knows that His Majesty has agreed to let you become Princess Taiping's concubine a year ago, and has asked for the teacher's opinion, but Niangniang has not agreed, and now it seems that Niangniang is not too opposed, presumably Princess Taiping insists like this, and soon, Niangniang should agree to marry Princess Taiping to you, It's a great opportunity to be reused, and you have to take it..."

"But, teacher..."Liu Yi wanted to tell Shangguan Wan'er and his private relationship, but he didn't know how to say it all of a sudden, he knew that Pei Xingjian was considering the feasibility of a marriage from a utilitarian point of view, and he became the concubine of Princess Taiping, which was the best embodiment of the recognition and trust of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, but he still couldn't accept this situation, and the idea of free love in the future in his bones was still at odds.

"I know you're obsessed with lawsuits, but this... You have to think big..."Pei Xingjian seemed to read what Liu Yi was thinking, and said with a deep meaning on his face, "If you really want to let the lawsuit Bo also be used by you, and even include her in the room, you can consider it after Princess Taiping marries, you can use Princess Taiping's influence..."

"Got it!" Liu Yi felt a strange feeling in his heart, and Pei Xingjian really thought about him.

Pei Xingjian also seemed to feel the ambivalence in Liu Yi's heart, so he didn't say anything about it, but turned back to the military affairs, discussed the process of the war with Liu Yi, and roughly described some of the strategies on the new art of war "Tao Chan General Essentials" given to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi also listened attentively to Pei Xingjian's explanation, and interjected from time to time to express some of his own opinions, until it was almost dark, and then he returned to his house with the art of war given by Pei Xingjian and the newly written summary of the battle.

Back at home, Liu Yi also looked carefully under the oil lamp, of course, first to see the summary of the operation written by Pei Xingjian.

Liu Yi really admires Pei Xingjian's handwriting, not an ordinary hand, as a famous calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, Pei Xingjian, there are almost no works left for future generations, Liu Yi also thought crookedly, if Pei Xingjian's large calligraphy works are preserved and preserved in later generations, maybe the auction value will be hundreds of millions.

Pei Xingjian also wrote in great detail about the process of using the troops, many things, such as the requirements for the generals of each department, the guarantee of the distance traveled by the troops of each department, how to start the war, the requirements for attacking the camp, and the pursuit and annihilation of the remnants of the enemy. It's a pity that the subsequent actions were abruptly stopped because of the order of the imperial court.

It's a pity that I missed a time to rebuild the majesty of the Tang Dynasty in the Anbei area.

Liu Yi also hopes that he has the ability to have the opportunity to change everything back in the future...
