Chapter 240: Thirty-six Strategies in the Art of War
Several generals of the Huo family army also came out and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that Mr. Lu is the best in the world!" Everyone cares about his ability, his positive fame, far more than his status as a eunuch! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the stigma of His Second Highness is spreading in the army, and if a person who insults his mother is allowed to do it, it will cause turmoil in the army!"
Xia Yan listened to everyone's words, his face was unusually ugly, and his eyes showed murderous intent.
He had thought about killing Xia Xingbang before, if it weren't for Xia Jiuyuan to stop him.
He said with a gloomy face, "My father has already said my matter, and I can't mention it again until Dian Guangming finds out!" Are you a fart at your father's behest?"
"Father, the son of the emperor definitely didn't mean that. It's just that I'm willing to believe Xia Yan. But are hundreds of thousands of soldiers willing?" Xia Xingbang arched his hand and said.
Xia Jiuyuan saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, raised his hand and said, "Okay! Although Guo Shangshu recommended that Lu Qian, Lu Qian still had some doubts about his ability. So, let him in first."
Saying that, he glanced at Gao Weixin, and Gao Weixin shouted.
Lu Qian was outside the hall, and after hearing it, he hurriedly walked in.
He could hear it clearly when he was outside.
After Lu Qian went in and saluted Xia Jiuyuan.
Xia Jiuyuan said straight to the point, "Lu Qian, Guo Shangshu proposes that you come to be the secretary of the military department!" I know that you are the best in the world, but the military department is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses! It's not that you can rely on a few verses to retreat from the enemy! So I don't know, what's so good about you! Can Guo Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials be so respected?"
Seeing this, Xia Yan also sneered and echoed, "That's it! Guo Shangshu may cherish your talent, but the military department Shangshu needs a person who can truly retreat from the enemy. Not a man on paper!"
Seeing this, Lu Qian smiled slightly, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the study of the art of war is far better than the study of poetry below!"
As soon as Lu Qian's words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone is recognized for Lu Qian's literary talent.
After all, it can make Di Hanlin, the first scribe of the Great Zhou, angry to death!
However, he now dared to say that his art of war was far superior to his study of poetry.
"Hmph, aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue? Tell me, then, what art of war have you studied?" Xia Yan asked Lu Qian.
The corners of Lu Qian's mouth lifted slightly, and then he said, "Below, I wrote a book on the art of war, called the Thirty-six Strategies of the Art of War!" And then summed it up in a poem! Please listen carefully, Jin Yutan is a public policy, so as to capture the thief, the fish and snake laugh in the sea, the sheep and tigers are separated by peach and mulberry, the tree is dark and obsessed, the kettle is empty and bitter and far away, and there are beautiful corpses on the roof beams, and Wei Lian is killed."
As soon as Lu Qian's poem came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.
"Who are you fooling? Just a whole poem, and you dare to brag about your skill in the art of war?" Xia Yan snorted coldly and said.
Lu Qian didn't care, Xia Yan.
He arched his hand to Xia Jiuyuan and said, "Your Majesty, this art of war has thirty-six strategies. It's too confidential to say on the spot. There is a book under it, on which thirty-six strategies are written in detail... Every word in that poem is a ploy! For example, gold is a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell! Your Majesty established the country with force, whether I have real talent and real learning, you can know at a glance in this book... And this is just a part of the Art of War writings!"
As Lu Qian spoke, he took out the thirty-six strategies he had written about the art of war.
This, he originally summed it up, and he wanted his little apprentice, Xia Zongze, to learn it.
Just now, I saw Gao Weixin say that the emperor wanted him to be the secretary of the military department, so he hurriedly went back to get it.
Xia Jiuyuan asked Gao Weixin to take the thirty-six tactics of the art of war that Lu Qian said.
After Xia Jiuyuan took it, he looked at it with relish.
"Father, don't let this eunuch fool you... This kind of person is the best at using words to deceive people! If he had this ability, he would have gone to the battlefield a long time ago to make meritorious contributions, so how could he do some chicken and dog pickling things in this harem." Xia Yan said.
Xia Jiuyuan didn't wait for Xia Yan to finish speaking,
He raised his hand and said, "Shut up!"
Xia Yan was a little surprised, Xia Jiuyuan would say this about him.
was scolded by Xia Jiuyuan, Xia Yan looked at Lu Qian with a grudge on his face, and said in a low voice, "You eunuch, just now you said that you didn't dare to fight with me!" I think you want to die!"
Lu Qian said loudly, "Second Highness, please forgive your sins! I'm not trying to fight with you! In the next place, I just want to do something for Daxia and His Majesty! If you are dedicated to the country, you will be threatened with your life... Then, I'm afraid that the Great Xia Kingdom will be shaken! Who threw his head and spilled his blood for the sake of Great Xia!"
He didn't speak, Guo Sixin finally came out and said, "Okay! Well said!"
At this time, Xia Xingbang, the generals of the Huo family, and Xia Wenzhi all came out one after another to help Lu Qian stand on the platform.
Xia Yan looked at Lu Qian with a vicious face, feeling that fire was about to burst out of his eyes!
I didn't wait for him to speak.
I heard Xia Jiuyuan can't help but say, "Okay... Good... Good... It seems that my palace is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Mr. Lu, you said that this is just a part of the art of war that you have summed up?"
Lu Qian knew that Xia Jiuyuan had led soldiers, so he naturally knew the subtleties of the thirty-six tactics of this art of war.
He smiled and said, "Yes, I have many other theories. Including a series of ideas for army reform, I am confident that if I take over the military department, I will definitely make our army of Great Xia a victorious army!"
"Hmph, who wouldn't brag on paper!" Xia Yan snorted coldly.
Seeing this, Xia Xingbang hurriedly helped, "Then you blow one and try it!" Let my father hear it..."
"Xia Yan, you don't need to say anything... Mr. Lu does have his own unique ideas about the art of war... I thought that this position of Shangshu could be handed over to him!" Xia Jiuyuan said.
Xia Yan said unconvinced, "Father, the son is not convinced! Erchen wants to compete with him! To lead troops to fight, only when you see the real chapter under your hands! If the retainers lose, the retainers will be convinced! Otherwise, the son will not be convinced!"
"Oh? Competition? What's that better than what?" Xia Jiuyuan seemed to be interested and asked.
The best emperor
