After getting Feng Yu's letter of recommendation, Xin You'an and Xue Qing began to discuss the use of troops, Yang Zhiqing was redundant, and he was not free, so he rode his horse to say goodbye early in the morning and returned to the northwest. Jinling is located in the south, it is difficult to see the wind and snow, but Shen Jin, who is standing there, seems to be able to see the heroic grandeur of the snow at the head of the three passes! Men should drink swords! Men become soldiers! A man should be a horse with 3,000 across the desert! At this moment, Shen Jinsheng was full of pride, and he played the sword and sang:

The snow dances and hangs on the jade river, and the wind moves to see the green mountains;

Don't ask the white horse to get drunk in the west, and fall into a dream of the slanting sun and the grass and trees are cold!

Who can see Dajiangdong going? The yellow sand rolls with the moon sleeping.

I don't see the pear blossoms falling when I raise my glass, and I wake up to know that it's another year.

Jun often sighs, who can not remember Jiangnan?

You don't see it, and it's stuffed with vegetarian and sky.

The beauty is picturesque and singing, and the socks are dusty and dancing.

The sound of boundless hoes and plows fell, and there were many official warehouses.

is still ruthless and reckless, and he doesn't see scholars and soldiers.

The lonely city talks and laughs about the aftermath, but the pen has fallen into the old mountains and rivers.

Xin You's placement in military affairs often comes first in military affairs, and he said that the great victories in combat often come from fire attacks, water attacks, surprise attacks, planning battles, terrain warfare, and large-scale chariot and horse warfare. But this time it is the use of troops in the south, and most of them will be naval battles, and water attacks, terrain, chariots and horses are not applicable, so now the focus of the discussion between the two is also on fire attacks, surprise attacks and strategic battles. Regarding the use of soldiers, Xue Qing is just empty talk on paper at the moment, after all, he has no actual combat experience. And about this point, You'an, who has been in the army since childhood, patiently interpreted them with him one by one.

Although Xue Qing did not have any real experience in leading troops in battle, after all, he was from the Jiangmen, and he was no stranger to the experience and classic examples of fighting against the Japanese Invaders. After a few days of analysis, he made a summary, but I heard him say: "This time we will fight against the Japanese soldiers, there are three core matters to pay attention to: first, our primary task this time is to defend the territory, followed by killing the enemy, if the Japanese people are allowed to slaughter my people in the Great Zhou Dynasty at will, I will annihilate them afterwards, and this battle can be regarded as defeated!" ”

You'an couldn't help nodding when she heard this, and she also admired Xue Qing's rapid progress over time. But listening to Xue Qing sighed again: "We are restraining the people this time, and we will be restrained everywhere when we start fighting, and we will not be happy to fight this battle......

After a few days of getting along, You'an became familiar with this Brother Xue's temperament, and said with a slight smile: "This side is the disadvantage of the defending side, and as the defending side, we have the vast number of Great Zhou people as a support, if the strength of the people can be properly used, it will not become our weakness, but will be our advantage." Second, this use of troops will certainly be a battle of outnumbered enemies, because our opponent is the Japanese and not the whole country. The advantage of the enemy lies in their initiative, they are able to attack from any point along the long coastline of our Great Circumference. Therefore, whenever we fight at sea, we cannot care about the gains and losses of one time and one place, after all, the ultimate goal of our defense is still on this land.

In this way, we will not be able to fall for the enemy's tricks and not give them the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to break through the enemy, what we must do is to concentrate our forces to destroy the enemy's living forces, and rely on our vast logistical base to turn small victories into big victories in attrition, so as to achieve the final victory in this anti-Japanese war. In the end, we are the superior side in this battle, after all, we can afford it, and the Japanese people can't afford it!

This is also the idea we need most in this operation, and for us it is a merit without merit. The third is mentality, the art of war is cloudy: five times the number of soldiers can attack the city, but now we use more than five times the number of soldiers to defend the territory, so it is inevitable that the army will have a contemptuous heart, and we must prevent this from happening. Judging from the war examples mentioned by the second brother, although my Da Zhou has a large number of soldiers, I have not made too many gains in the war with the Japanese people, which cannot but arouse our attention. Judging from the past examples, the Japanese are by no means soft persimmons, and how to adjust the mentality of the army when we go to join the army has become an urgent delay. ”

"What Brother You'an said is that there is no shortage of famous generals in my Great Zhou, and there are many people who can fight tough battles, but there are only two or three people who have outstanding combat records against the Japanese, which shows that this Japanese may not be as good as the Turks, but it is by no means easy to match!" Xue Qing cleared his mind and analyzed seriously.

Suddenly, Xue Qing seemed to think of something and suddenly said: "Brother You'an, you said that we should go to Shen Gongzi and borrow his family's 'Lu Ma' to join us in the army?" ”

Hearing this, You'an couldn't help but be a little stunned and said, "What's the use of you borrowing a woman?" ”

Xue Qing suddenly reacted to the abruptness of what he said, and explained with a smile: "The so-called 'Lu Ma' is not a woman, but a very powerful casting master, and she is the best at exquisite machine manufacturing. Because of her thoughtful and meticulous temperament, she is like a woman, so she has the title of 'Lu Ma' in Shen Mansion. ”

When Xue Qing was helping the Shen family, he had some friends with most of the guests raised by the Shen family, and this man named 'Lu Ma' was one of the four great guests of the Shen Mansion. One of them is Xu Ziqing, who is obsessed with books and paintings as friends, and has no pair in the world. The second is Qin Mu, when he was a teenager, he was the 'flower king' of Luoyang Saihua Association for seven sessions, and he took flowers as his companion all his life, but there are few flowers in the world who do not know it, and after arriving at the Shen family, he concentrated on repairing the garden, and half of the credit in the courtyard of the Shen family will go to Qin Mu. This third one is also the strangest of the Shen family's four guests, the reason why he was selected for these four wonders is that he is the only person in this world who doesn't know anything, really can't do anything? Except for eating, drinking, Lazar, and panting, he may really not know anything, of course, there are legends that this person can only maintain a pure heart in this way, and when he needs to, everything in the world is at his fingertips, and everything will be at his fingertips. The last is 'Lu Ma', who is good at opportunities and is a master of strange skills.

'Lu Ma' is the only one of the four who has followed the Shen family for generations, and he is also the youngest one, and he became a guest of the Shen family at seventeen, not because his father died early, but because he was seventeen years old and far surpassed his father in various organ designs, the old man is an upright person, and when he saw that his son did not occupy the position of this guest, he personally asked Shen Wansan to explain this meaning.

This 'Lu Ma' was watched by Shen Wansan to grow up, and he also likes this child very much, and he is also known as a prodigy. But a prodigy is a prodigy, and if Shen Wansan believes that at the age of seventeen, he will surpass Lu Chong, who is a giant in the world, it will be too difficult. 'Lu Ma''s real name is Lu Xiaohan, and his nickname is 'Xiao'er', he has been smiling since he was born, and he didn't let go of crying, so he got this name. Lu Chong has been immersed in strange tricks and tricks all his life, and he doesn't care about the affairs of men and women, and this family affair was only concluded under the repeated entrustment of Shen Wansan's father, so he is a typical example of an old man. This person is also strange, when he didn't marry a wife and had children, he didn't care about this, and when he had a son, Lu Chong seemed to be a different person, and he actually devoted himself to the cultivation of his son, which made the rest of the Shen family can't help but be surprised in their eyes.

Lu Xiaoer did not live up to his father, although he was much weaker than others since he was a child, he had a very intelligent mind, and it happened that he was fascinated by what his father did since he was a child. This coke broke the old man, and he couldn't wait to give all the brains he knew to his son, which led to the five-year-old breaking hole Ming lock and the seven-year-old mechanical bird Lu Xiao'er. Lu Chong knew that it was difficult for Shen Wansan to accept the fact that his son was a prodigy at the age of seventeen, so he called his son to make him make a nine-song lantern. The Lu family followed the Shen family several generations ago, and the Shen family was not in the same situation at that time. Therefore, about the secret of the Lu family, the generations of the Shen family's heads still know. This nine-song heart-to-heart lamp is one of the lost arts of the Lu family, the so-called lost is not the loss of the practice map, but the difficulty of the craftsmanship of this object, even if you have a map, you can't do it. Shen Wansan heard what he meant by his words that Lu Xiao'er could make this strange lamp, and then the old Shen was shocked and said: If he really made this nine-song lamp, he would really be better than his father, but he was only seventeen years old this year!

Lu Xiao'er was called, and his father only told him to make a lamp, and he agreed without thinking about it. Shen Wansan knew that this kind of opportunity could be done in three or two days, so he turned around and said goodbye and went back. Three days later, Lu Chong went to call Shen Wansan again and said: The lamp is ready! Shen Wansan was surprised and didn't have any exaggerated expressions, until he went to the workshop, but he almost dislocated his jaw when he saw the light. The Shen family has this nine-song lamp, but it is an old object left over from several generations ago, and the craftsmanship is definitely worthy of being the creation of the poor world. But this nine-song heart-to-heart lamp is several times more beautiful than that, several times more complicated, the same nine-core nine-song, the same nine-lotus interplay If the Shen family's piece is heavenly, this one is definitely a masterpiece! The Jiuqu Lianxin Lantern is not static, it will move when it is lit (similar to the current principle of thermal energy), different movement trajectories will produce different mottled light and shadow, and the whole Nine Lotus will be like a real lotus with a kind of vitality.

Since then, no one has any objections to Lu Xiao'er being the guest, and Lu Chong has since stepped back to the second line and professionally become his son's 'connoisseur'. Lu Xiaoer's upright temper is very similar to his father, but the difference is that he is much more delicate than his father. It may be that he has been weak and sick since he was a child, he is also so clean and surprising, and his delicate straight temper, but whenever he encounters a family maid and a maid who is not neatly dressed, the unclean will call to his side to comfort him, if some family members are okay, at most it will be a joke and laugh and dismiss it, if the woman is accused by him, he is ashamed, and since then he has secretly made up his mind that he will never go out of the house if he does not arrange his clothes and hair to perfection every day, but he is so meticulous that he will inevitably find someone to snicker behind his back, and he will get this after coming and going. Lu Ma's name. However, if half of the gardening beauty of the Shen Mansion is due to Qin Mu, half of the credit for the bright and neat clothes of the Shen family's maidservants should be attributed to 'Lu Ma'.

"Are you talking about Lu Xiao'er?" Xin Youan's eyes at this time were also shining, why hadn't he heard of this person's name? Strange tricks and tricks are the last popular in the big week, and they are not very looked down upon. However, in the tribute paid by the Shen family to the emperor in Jinling in recent years, there are always some ingenious things that are quite in line with the emperor's thoughts, and it is rumored that these objects are all from the hands of a person named Lu Xiaoer in the Shen family's guest qing, so Lu Xiao'er is the last to flow into the top grade, and his reputation is manifested for a while.

Xue Qing couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "It's this person!" ”

"If Brother Shen can really cut his love, then the armaments of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be upgraded by more than one grade!" Xin Youan said excitedly.
