Xue Guwu and the others had a great understanding, and bowed down together and said yes.

Between the words of the people, they had reached Baiqu, and Pharmacist Li continued to tell the story.

After the Zhengguo Canal was dug up, it irrigated Guanzhong for a hundred years, during which it was silted up from time to time.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, six auxiliary canals were dug again, and they were still blocked from time to time.

Later, the courtier Bai Gong built another channel in the south of the Zhengguo Canal, which was the White Canal, and later generations may call this canal and the Zhengguo Canal "Zhengbai Canal".

The white canal is still exported from Jingshui, but does not enter Luoshui, but goes straight into Weishui.

There is a lot of cement and sand in Jing, and the place where the white canal flows through not only brings water to the farmland, but also brings fertile sedimentary soil, so there is a folk song at that time:

Where is the field, Chiyang Taniguchi.

Zheng Guo is in front, and Baiqu is behind.

Lift the clouds and break the ditch for the rain.

Jingshui is a stone, and its mud is several buckets.

And irrigated and dung, grow my corn.

Food and clothing, the mouth of billions.

Pharmacist Li continued: "The water of the Baiqu River is diverted into the Guanzhong, and the irrigation channel is divided into several branches by using a sluice gate, which is called 'dou'. ”

He looked around and pointed to the field: "Look, there is a bucket gate over there." ”

Xue Guwu followed Pharmacist Li's expectations and said in surprise: "It turns out that the steep gate of the Lingqu originates from the Doumen of this white canal? ”

He once comforted Lingnan with Pharmacist Li, and saw with his own eyes that Lu Zesheng supervised the construction of the steep gate of the Lingqu.

"Very much!"

Pharmacist Li's eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation: "We have to learn from the ancients from time to time." However, the steep gate built by Mr. Lu is much more complex than the doumen here. In other words, after learning from the ancients, we must build on their existing foundation and create new ones. ”

Xue Guwu and the others bowed and said yes.

On this day, I came to Jingyang and stopped for the night.

Su Dingfang came to see him again and said: "Xiangjun has taught him earnestly, and Dingfang has benefited immensely.

It seems that to learn from the ancients, not only must you read, but also have to travel the world. ”

"Yes!" Pharmacist Li's eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation: "Therefore, Zhuge Wuhou must first travel and experience before he can write the 'Three Strategies of Longzhong'." ”

"Yes!" Su Dingfang bowed down to be taught, and then said: "Reading and traveling are all personnel, and we can still do our best." Then the way of heaven ......"

He glanced up at Pharmacist Li, plucked up his courage and said, "For example, half a year ago, Xiangjun was able to occupy clouds and fog in Tieshan; Earlier, Xiangjun was able to call for wind and rain in Kuizhou. Is it possible for us ordinary people to learn such a way of heaven being given by God? ”

The look of relief and appreciation in Pharmacist Li's eyes was even greater, he patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "If you want to learn, I will teach you, why is it difficult?" ”

Su Dingfang bowed down when he landed: "Dingfang wants to learn it!" But ask for advice. ”

Pharmacist Li helped him up, and said solemnly: "Looking at today's generals, except for you, those with high qualifications will count the governors of Xiangzhou and Xiangzhou. ”

The governor of the prefecture here pointed to Li Shiji, and after the Turks were pacified, he returned to the prefecture.

The governor of Xiangzhou pointed to Zhang Gongjin, and after pacifying the Turks, he was named Zou Guogong from the Duke of Dingyuan County and transferred to Xiangzhou.

Su Dingfang bowed to the ground: "How can Dingfang be compared to the two governors!" ”

Pharmacist Li helped him up again and sighed: "The qualifications can indeed be compared, but unfortunately the fortune is not." ”

He ordered Su Dingfang to sit opposite him, looked at his face, and said: "Your eyebrows are thick and straight, your main personality is mighty, and you have the courage to achieve great things." It's a pity that it's difficult to get down, and you have to rub it off before you can do the way of people. ”

Su Dingfang bowed his head and said yes, isn't this what he has said in the past few years?

Pharmacist Li continued: "The bridge of your nose is high and narrow, high is able to gather, and narrow is gentle circulation. Therefore, it is difficult to develop when you are young, and you must wait until middle age to achieve great success. ”

Su Dingfang bowed and said yes.

Pharmacist Li looked at it again and said, "Your ear bones are strong and rooted, and in the next few decades, no matter what the world is, you will be able to stand unscathed." Very good! Very good! ”

Su Dingfang bowed down to thank him, but his expression was at a loss.

Seeing this, Pharmacist Li smiled and said, "Dingfang, you said that I said all this, all from God?" Definitely! Definitely! Not to mention Pangu Fuxi, just three generations, covering thousands of years. In the meantime, there are hundreds of millions of people! And everyone has a different face and a different fate. What I know is just that the ancient sages summarized what they saw and learned, passed on from generation to generation, and gained something. ”

Su Dingfang suddenly realized, bowed down and said: "Xiangjun's words, Dingfang is deeply instructed!" ”

Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "The face is like this, what about the celestial phenomena?" For example, the gorge river rises, year after year, and it is almost the same.

I have been in Kuizhou for more than a year, and I have twice surveyed the autumn weather and hydrology, and at the same time refer to the classics, so I can naturally observe the celestial phenomena and know the period of rising tides. ”

Su Dingfang's face was full of admiration.

Pharmacist Li patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "Another example is the morning fog of Iron Mountain." Although I had never been to Yinshan before that, morning fog was common everywhere. In winter and spring, the humidity is heavier, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, especially in the mountains, but on a light night when the clouds are light and the wind is light, there will be fog as soon as the morning light comes out. This is a celestial ......"

In his laughter, he deliberately reused the words used by Su Dingfang: "How can I be an ordinary man who can divinate and call?" ”

Su Dingfang also smiled, and said with a smile: "Xiangjun Tianren, you can know the celestial phenomena!" ”

His expression turned solemn: "Can you ask the prime minister to know, where to learn the prescription now?" ”

"Heartfelt learning, sincere praise!"

Pharmacist Li's eyes were full of relief and appreciation again: "I think you have already read "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", "Liutao", and "Three Strategies", and you have enough experience in battle formations. What is missing today ......"

He glanced at Su Dingfang: "It is the skill of practicing Zhi and cultivating Qi." ”

Su Dingfang bowed and said, "Dingfang is taught." But then ......"

He looked at Pharmacist Li and didn't know where to start.

In front of him, Pharmacist Li stared earnestly: "Right now, in your heart, the most difficult thing to let go of is King Xia." And this is also an excellent starting point for practicing ambition and qi. ”

Su Dingfang complied: "Yes!" ”

"The crux of King Xia's matter is in the martial prison."

"Yes!"

"Before today, you may not want to think about this battle. However, from this moment on, you must let go of the resistance in your heart and think carefully about what King Xia should do in order to be undefeated. ”

"Yes!"

Su Dingfang understood in his heart that the teacher in front of him, whom he sincerely admired and admired, actually asked himself to think about why Dou Xia failed.

Su Dingfang was so calm and calm, which made Pharmacist Li appreciate and cherish again.

At the moment, there were only two of them, and Pharmacist Li was moved for a while, held Su Dingfang's hands, and blurted out: "The teacher is old, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty will depend on you young people." ”

"Teacher!"

Su Dingfang deeply felt that the palm of this teacher was warm and firm, and tears of joy burst out of his eyes.
