Chapter 39: The Art of War
The day passed in a flash, and it was not until dusk that Fang Xuan and the others left with the rest of the approved notes, and Gu Yifeng exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then returned to the prison quite helplessly.
Now he can understand why the emperors in his previous life died early, it is really because this work is not done by people, and those who have stepped into cultivation feel exhausted for a day, let alone mortals who have not cultivated.
After returning to the Heavenly Prison, Gu Yifeng returned to the bed to cultivate as soon as possible, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, and his fatigue suddenly disappeared a lot.
It wasn't until the drum sounded that he withdrew from his cultivation and woke up the system to start signing in.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and obtaining 5,000 Modao soldiers, which have been stored in the system space and can be released in a wide area. ”
The voice of the system sounded, but the reward this time was a little unexpected, it turned out to be something that would help cultivation, but an army.
For this army, Gu Yifeng is no stranger, he had the name of this army in his previous life, it was specially set up in the army, not to mention the cavalry, and when he encountered the infantry, he could turn into a meat grinding machine.
"System, why do you just change the reward! Can't you give me something to improve my strength! ”
Looking at the reward, although Gu Yifeng knew the usefulness of this thing to him now, he still couldn't help but question.
"The system never pulls out the seedlings and helps them grow. Your qualifications, the current rewards are enough. No matter how much you give, it's a waste. ”
The system's complaint soon sounded, and obviously, it stabbed him in the heart again.
Fortunately, Gu Yifeng was used to it, so he just helplessly skimmed the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, scolded angrily twice in his heart, and then began to look at it.
With the Mo Dao team here, Da Chu is not afraid, at least, there is no need to worry about being completely suppressed by Da Chu, five thousand Mo Dao team is enough to compare to 10,000, or even 30,000 elite soldiers.
Thinking of this, Gu Yifeng thought about the battle formation with Gu Cheng tomorrow in the military department, and immediately lost his sleepiness, and began to recall a strange book he had read in his previous life, its name, Sun Tzu's Art of War.
……
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Gu Yifeng was under the escort of Qin Mountain, changed into light clothes and went to the military headquarters.
All the civil and military officials gathered in the military headquarters, and the originally wide field also seemed a little cramped, but fortunately, there were only a few people who were qualified to stay on the sand table and watch the battle.
In addition to the sand table in the middle, you can also place a model of soldiers and horses made of copper and iron, which is attracted by magnets, and the soldiers below the sand table can manipulate the magnets to change the soldiers and horses.
As for the generals, they can issue military orders on both sides, let the soldiers and horses change in formation, engage with the locality, and change tactics, and those who are proficient can know the advantages and disadvantages at a glance.
Everything must be done under precise control, and it is definitely not that someone can tell the winner and lose, so Gu Cheng will agree.
With the arrival of Gu Yifeng, the military department suddenly became lively, and the first thing was naturally to bow down to him, the emperor, and then it was the main topic of the day.
Gu Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and after saluting, he came directly to the command position of one party, Gu Yifeng smiled slightly when he saw this, and then entered the other party, and the two were equivalent to a room.
On Gu Cheng's side, naturally there is his deputy who will pass on military orders, so that the soldiers of the military department can manipulate the magnet to change the formation, and Gu Yifeng has Qin Shan to pass the order.
Under the order of the military department, the two sides immediately began to set up formations, and the copper and iron soldiers and horses on both sides stood up, and then began to change.
Qin Shan and Gu Cheng, deputy generals, began to report the military situation in an orderly manner, and practiced the real confrontation of the battle formation, as well as the confrontation between the two sides.
In the first two rounds, Gu Cheng and Gu Yifeng actually fought back and forth, and the troops of both sides suffered losses, but from the perspective of the battle formation, King Cheng's soldiers and horses were more compact and fine, without the slightest disconnection.
At a glance, you can feel the experience and experience of Gu Cheng's experience in a hundred battles, and he is indeed extremely experienced in marching and fighting.
Although Gu Yifeng's side said that the formation was slightly scattered, it was a battalion step by step, and every mistake and omission could be turned into a trap and used to counterattack the opponent.
In the first two rounds alone, the generals put away their intention to underestimate His Majesty the Emperor.
Until the third round, Gu Cheng won a small victory, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and never thought that on its right side, a team of soldiers and horses suddenly killed, and immediately defeated it, and returned with a feather.
Immediately caused a burst of exclamations on the field.
"Virtual, real, and endless!"
Fang Xuan saw the subtlety and couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Cheng then walked out of the compartment and came to Gu Yifeng with a somewhat depressed head.
"King Cheng doesn't have to be discouraged. I am better than you, but I read more military books, because there is no war trouble, there are many ways to study the use of soldiers, although I have not talked about the army on paper, but it may not be impossible to win, because of this treachery, you are in the matter, naturally you can't see it. ”
Gu Yifeng saw that this king was uncomfortable, and immediately patted his shoulder, and also comforted him, this is true, a lot of paper talk about the use of soldiers, but it will make generals who have been fighting for a long time unable to see through, which is determined by habitual thinking.
Hearing the comfort, Gu Cheng finally felt better, and his spirit recovered a lot.
"Then, Your Majesty, dare to ask if you have a name for the art of war you used today?"
Gu Cheng immediately asked.
"These are also the strange books I found from the Daqian Library, and no one noticed that they were collected by me, and their name is Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is rumored to be written by a person surnamed Sun, and there are quite a lot of marching methods on it."
Gu Yifeng also spoke slowly when he heard this, he didn't bother to take the name of the great power, and said it generously, but in order to avoid the courtiers from being suspicious, he still put the road to the Daqian Library.
Gu Cheng and the others did not doubt him, and nodded one after another, now it seems that Gu Yifeng's ability to lead troops may not be as bad as his.
"In this case, the younger brother has no objection, Your Majesty can lead the troops to the Great Chu army. Just for the safety of His Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to take the two generals all the way, and you don't have to do everything yourself. ”
Gu Cheng took a step back, and then said his bottom line, as soon as these words came out, other ministers agreed, and even Fang Xuan and others also spoke.
However, in order to make it more convenient for Gu Yifeng, in the end, Fang Xuan named the names of the two generals to him, these two people have never been involved in party disputes, and they are generals who are dedicated to the country.
With these two people, Gu Yifeng only nodded, and the matter was completely decided, everyone dispersed one after another, preparing their own affairs, and he and Gu Cheng planned to lead the troops to the border this afternoon.
Not to mention far away, at least, what Gu Yifeng wanted in his heart was to snatch back the current land of the three counties.
