May 7, 776, Far Eastern Military Academy

"Ladies and gentlemen, classes are now on! ”

More than 50 new Qiben officer cadets from various regiments who participated in the officer training course sat in the front seat and listened to the lecture of 16-year-old deputy Qiben instructor Shikawa Shu.

"Today I will explain to you the art of war: 'It is as swift as the wind, its swiftness is like a forest, its invasion is like fire, and it is as immobile as a mountain!' What does it mean? If the enemy sets fire to the woods, then you will die as 'immovable as a mountain'. Everybody get it, right? Okay, next sentence. ”

"'Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival. "Meaning, this thing of war, it's the lifeblood of you-if you don't fight, you have to be laid off, and you will receive forty percent of your salary next month--our chief is Renjun, and I can't bear to watch everyone lose their jobs, so I often play with the Liufeng family opposite, don't misunderstand his kindness in the future, whoever accidentally kills the Liufeng family by mistake, then everyone's jobs are finished, and I am not finished with him!"

"Another article's 'There is no home at home, no foreign enemies outside, and the country is always forgotten. If you want to keep the country from dying, you have to make more trouble, find more 'enemy foreign troubles' and come back, and the country will "perpetuate!"

"What should I do if I can't defeat him? If I can't defeat him, I'll reason with the enemy!--This student, you are really a benzene, are you a flag book that goes through the back door?--What kind of reasoning is not allowed, talk about public international law, talk about international conventions, talk about the fraternity of all mankind, talk about our love for peace, and don't have the same knowledge as you--It's okay!--But whether the rogue listens to you or not is another matter. ”

※※※

The flag-book officers below whispered:

"Where did such an idiot give us a lecture?"

"It's Lord Ge Yingxing who has been specially approved to be an instructor at the Far East Military Academy, and I heard that they are related - you still choose his 'tactical theory class' even though you know that you are an idiot?"

"It's not that he is given high credits: 98 points for exams, 89 points for non-exams, it doesn't matter if you hand in blank papers, 3 points will be deducted for misspelling your name; classes are never ordered, only half of each class is completed, and no class assignments are left -- how can you find such a good instructor!"

※※※

"Instructor, may I ask what is the meaning of the six types of terrain mentioned in the book: the general shape, the hanging shape, the branch shape, the pass shape, the dangerous shape, and the distant shape, and what are the specific requirements for combat?"

"Okay! This student's question is well-raised, meaningful, timely, level-based, insightful, and ......."

"Instructor, please answer!"

"Don't worry, how can I not understand such a simple question instructor? This, this, the question is this question, I mean, ha, as soon as you say it, you'll understand, it's very simple - now you understand, right?"

"Nope!"

"Oh, I didn't expect your understanding to be so bad, I had no choice but to find someone from the benzene point to explain it to you - Sterling, wake up, don't doze off, help the instructor answer the question!" Zichuan Xiu hurriedly went to wake up Sterling.

"Mr. Xiuchuan, I'm very benzene, I don't understand this question. Whispered: "Dinner for a week, go to Jintai to eat!"

"Sterling, don't worry, think about it slowly!" Zi Chuanxiu whispered: "Bastard, you might as well change your career and grab it!

"Teacher, I suddenly found that I still don't know!" Sterling whispered: "Jumping price discount: five dinners, eat at the Jintai Hotel!"

"Stirling, I know you can do it!" Zi Chuanxiu whispered, "You blackmail! Three fried noodles, no more than one!"

"Teacher, I suddenly feel a little dizzy and can't remember anything......" Sterling was uncompromising:

"I'm blackmailing!--who told you to cheat last time!Four dinners, and drinks!"

"Sterling, you're too nervous, relax. Zi Chuanxiu whispered: "Three meals, you can consider going to Jintai Restaurant, bring your own drinks!"

"Ah, I'm going to pass out, Teacher!" Sterling rolled his eyes and was about to lie down. Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly held on and shook vigorously: "Wake up, wake up, hold on!" Stirling!" whispered: "Count you ruthless! Jintai is Jintai!"

"Ah, teacher, I remember!" Sterling, who was still dying just now, instantly became energetic and replied loudly: " The so-called general shape is the terrain in which both the enemy and the enemy can enter and exit, and in this kind of terrain, it is necessary to occupy high places and sunny sides first, and protect the supply routes; the so-called hanging shape refers to the terrain that is easy to enter and difficult to exit, and in this kind of terrain, it is advantageous to the enemy who is not prepared for a surprise attack, but if the enemy is in a tight position, it is very dangerous; the terrain that is not conducive to attacking the enemy and us is called a branch shape, and in this kind of terrain, it is better to hold on and ignore the enemy's provocations......

"Well, it's barely okay, the main points are basically answered correctly - that classmate, do you understand?" Zichuan Xiu turned to Sterling and said sternly: "Stirling, I'm very disappointed in you! You have to think about answering such a simple question for so long, and after you are on the battlefield, you have the surnames of tens of thousands of family soldiers, and life and death are decided in an instant, do you also want the enemy to give you such a long time to consider?"

So Sterling bowed his head in shame and expressed his great apologies for disappointing Mr. Shikawa Xiu.

The more Zichuan Xiu said, the more angry he became: "What is a genius? Genius is ninety-eight points of sweat and two points of inspiration! You, who are a little clever, don't want to study diligently, and lose your mind as a playboy -- when are you going to return that "playboy" to me? -- this will never become a big thing! Come, you come with me to the teaching office to reflect on it! Other students, zìyóu self-study!"

※※※

The two walked out of the classroom.

"I said, Ah Xiu, you're too ruthless, aren't you? I only lasted ten minutes in a class and ran away. Also, this excuse for skipping class seems to have been used last time, right? I don't even know how many times I've been in the teaching office with you to reflect. ”

"Where, you're mistaken! Last time I said you had a hemorrhoid attack, and I had to take you to the clinic -- I won't go bankrupt if this class continues!—Where's Di Lin, he didn't come to class today?"

"He went to collect protection money. ”

※※※

In the dead alley, several junior cadets of the Far East Military Academy shrank into a pile, looking at the beautiful Di Lin in fear and approaching with a smile: "Everyone, good afternoon! Have you had afternoon tea?"

One of them had the courage to say, "Boss Emperor, we have already paid the money last week...... before he finished speaking, Di Lin's big military boots had already kicked him in the face.

Di Lin handed over a napkin to wipe his nosebleed, and said kindly: "You pooped last week, do you want to pull it again this week? The last time ......I collected money was to mourn the 125th anniversary of the death of His Royal Highness Yarime, and this time it was to celebrate the 253rd anniversary of the birth of the great Lord Zichuan Yun. ”

Di Lin clenched his fists so loudly that he "gurgled" -- fully expressing how "patriotic" Di Lin Qi was and how "disappointed" he was in a few "unpatriotic people."

At this time, Sterling and Shikawa Xiu appeared on the corner of the alley. Several military cadets shouted as if they saw the savior: "Help, Instructor Xiuchuan!

"Classmate Di Lin, you are bullying a new classmate again! It seems that I have to be serious about you!" Zi Chuan Xiu was filled with indignation: "Fellow students, don't be afraid, if Di Lin dares to bully you again, go to the Academic Affairs Office and sue me, I will skin him! Remember, you must report it!" - while saying Zi Chuan Xiu, he pulled Sterling away, and he walked very fast!

Di Lin looked at a few disappointed non-commissioned officers and students, and laughed: "I'll tell you a secret: I have peeled off my skin for Teacher Ah Xiu no less than a hundred times!--Okay, don't talk nonsense, now is the time to show your patriotic enthusiasm with practical actions! I hate those who are not patriotic the most!"

※※※

In the peach grove at the back of the campus, Di Lin found Zichuan Xiu and Sterling and gave each of them an ice cream.

Zichuan Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "That's all?"

Di Lin: "No way, the economy is in a recession, and you can't be a hooligan." Protection fees cannot be collected. ”

Sterling ate quickly, and said vaguely, "I don't think it's very good for you guys to do this, it's not right to bully juniors......"

Di Lin glanced at him: "If you don't think it's good, you can't eat it - it's not you who eats the fastest every time!"

Sterling shut up and ate the rest as quickly as he could.

※※※

The Jintai Restaurant is the most upscale (and the most slaughtering) restaurant near the Far Eastern Military Academy. Stirling and Dilling rushed in and commanded, "Today we are going to pluck the feathers of the iron rooster!"

Zi Chuanxiu followed behind with a sad brow, with the words "bitter and hateful" clearly written on one face, and the whole face of a nation that had been oppressed for three thousand years.

The three of them were well fed and drunk.

Di Lin touched his belly and smiled with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've been so cool!--I think eating Ah Xiu's food is particularly accomplishing, and the food is very delicious!"

Zi Chuanxiu put his hand in his pocket and stretched it out again, with an indescribable expression on his face, and asked Di Lin: "May I ask the rogue Di Lin, how many ways are there to eat overlord rice?"

Di Lin thought for a moment and replied, "Method 1: Cockroach and Fly Method, Method 2: Rubbing Oil on Feet, Method 3: Food Poisoning Method, Method 4: Fierce God and Evil Evil Method - but why do you ask this, do you want to tell me that you don't have a wallet?"

"Who said I didn't bring it, but there was something in my pocket besides my wallet......" Shikawa Xiu flipped out the pocket of his pants, revealing a big hole - just the size of a wallet.

Sterling was amazed: "Didn't your wallet have already fallen the last time you paid!

Zichuan Xiu distinguished: "How is this the same? Last time it was pretended, but this time it really fell!"

The three of them glanced at each other and said in unison: "Method four!"

Di Lin walked away, knocked over the plate of sweet and sour fish to the ground, and then smashed the wine bottle fiercely: "Is this for people or for pigs! Lao Tzu has never eaten such an unpalatable dish! Call the chef out for me!"

Zi Chuanxiu clutched his stomach and cried out in pain: "Ah, I'm poisoned!"

Sterling dodged as if nothing had happened, lest he be hit by the broken glass.

The guy who ran the hall hurriedly came up, looking like he understood what was going on: "Understood, understood! A few masters, don't be bored, if you are not satisfied, the chef will immediately come to apologize to you." ”

At this moment, the biggest turning point in the fate of the three heroes of Zichuan occurred.

※※※

September 16, 779, Dilin Mansion House.

Inspector General Di Lin smiled and said: "I still remember when Lin Xiujia came out in a chef's apron, you were stunned, and your saliva flowed more than when you ate sweet and sour fish." ”

Zi Chuanxiu protested: "At that time, it was definitely not me who drooled the most! Aren't you too, just now you dropped someone's plate, and immediately pretended to be gentle: "Miss, did you cook this dish? The taste is really extraordinary! It's too good to say! Miss, I want to eat your cooking for the rest of my life, are you willing?" -- just met like this, you really treat meat and hemp as fun!"

Di Lin laughed: "What do you know! Girls just like meat, and the more meaty they are, the more they like it! The most hateful thing is Stirling, who became a traitor on the spot: "Miss, let me tell you, neither of them is a good person, and they want to eat overlord rice!"

Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but be polite: "Yes, I almost won the first place in the Zichuan family fighting competition that night." ”

※※※

The night was already deep, and Shikawa Xiu said goodbye and left. When he was leaving, Di Lin said to him meaningfully: "Ah Xiu, I know that you are about to leave for the Far East. What kind of goods do you bring with you, you should also know what kind of goods you bring, so I won't talk about it. The current situation in the Far East, you have to have a place in your mind: we may win one, two, three, or even a hundred battles, but we will not win this war, no matter how many troops we increase. Because there is still a lack of a decisive factor that can turn the whole situation around, and this factor cannot be obtained from the battlefield. I've said this to Sterling too, but looking at the way he looks impulsive now, I obviously didn't listen to it. He wants to try to return the will of heaven with manpower. ”

Shikawa Xiu: "Then what do you think are the factors that can determine the outcome of the battle?"

Di Lin shook his head: "I don't know. Would you like to listen to my advice to you?"

"Say it. ”

"Never leave the distance of the Columbian Fortress three rì horses, always be prepared for the unexpected. Di Lin looked solemn.

※※※

Walking on the way home, Zi Chuanxiu slowly recalled Di Lin's last words all the way, and the more he thought about it, the more unfathomable he felt.

Looking back, the original brightly lit Dilin Mansion has been shrouded in a deep darkness, which is impossible to see......

※※※

Two days later, something happened that puzzled everyone: His Excellency Inspector General Di Lin suddenly went against the norm and actively promoted the dereliction of duty case of Luo Bo, the former deputy commander of the Far East Army, and put on a posture that the deputy should be strictly investigated, and released the rumors solemnly: "This time, I have to cut off the heads of a few commanders to let Luo Minghai know that I know how powerful I am Di Lin!" He even said that in military law*, he would personally serve as the prosecution officer: "I want to see who dares to do it!"

The news soon spread to the ears of President Luo Minghai. He only thought about it for a few minutes, and immediately changed his position, vigorously defended Luo Bo, and also attended the military court presided over by the chief Zichuan Sanxing to serve as Luo Bo's defender.

The military tribunal was held as scheduled, and the meeting almost became a special performance for President Luo Minghai, who made a generous statement, and every word was sonorous and powerful: "The defeat of Chishuitan is still irresistible! The defeated army is still capable of protecting the fortress of Glauren, and the deputy commander Luo Bo does not lose the demeanor of a famous general, and he has no merit! The family does not give the slightest reward to the meritorious soldiers, but adds an iron rope to the body, does not make the hearts of the millions of soldiers in front of him chill!?" won a warm applause from Lin Bing and other Far Eastern officers who were listening in the hall, which made Luo Minghai even more proud, looking forward to the left and right.

In contrast, Di Lin's expression was very disappointing to everyone, including Zichuan Shenxing: he spoke incoherently, stammered, and his arguments contradicted himself, and he didn't even find out in the indictment whether Luo Bo was guilty of dereliction of duty or miscommand, and was refuted by Luo Minghai on the spot.

As a result, when Zichuan Shenxing announced Luo Bo's innocence, Di Lin looked like a defeated rooster, and he seemed to be unable to stand up in despair.

Luo Minghai looked at Di Lin with disdain, and then proudly accepted the congratulations of his subordinates, congratulating him, "I have defeated that hateful Di Lin again!" He was so happy that he ate an extra bowl of rice that night, and made an exception to drink.
