Chapter 251 Secret Art of War

Liyanaza fiddled with the book in her hand and whispered: "The Art of War, I just don't recognize some of the words. I thought I'd ask you after I get back."

Zhao Tong wondered: "What kind of military art? Show it to me."

Liyanaza handed over the book in her hand and said: "I bought it at a bookstore in the city. The price is very expensive. The store said that if there is no war, it is impossible to sell this kind of military book."

Zhao Tong took the book and looked at it. There were only four words written on the cover: Secret Art of War. He opened it and took a few glances, but it turned out to be a handwritten copy of Tan Gong Ce.

Tan Gong is Tan Daoji, a man in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, the founding father of the Liu Song Dynasty, a world-famous general, and a great military strategist.

He was a loyal minister of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty. He followed Liu Yu in the southern and northern campaigns and made unparalleled military exploits. He was promoted to the rank of Grand Sikong, the founder of the Yitong Division of the Three Divisions, and he also held military positions such as General of the Northern Campaign and General of the Southern Campaign.

The Thirty-six Strategies passed down in later generations came from the hand of Tan Daoji, who compiled a book for Tan Daoji to study the ancient and modern strategies. The original name of the Thirty-Six Strategies was Tan Gong's Thirty-Six Strategies.

It's just that the Thirty-Six Strategies of Tan Gong have been classified as secret art of war for a long time, unlike Sun Tzu, Wu Zi, Six Taoist Strategies, or even the general military classics of this dynasty, which have all been published and circulated within the court and the army.

Upper middle class.

Tan Gong's Thirty-six Policies were handed down from the Southern Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. Almost all of them were copied by hand and were not published in books.

The manuscripts handed down from this generation are often incomplete. The thirty-six strategies are roughly divided into six or six, and six strategies are used as a secret book. If you want to complete it, you have to search repeatedly.

Especially the final Six Defeat Strategies, which are extremely difficult to obtain. Many people who study the Thirty-Six Strategies even know the names of the Six Defeat Strategies, but because they have never seen Tan Gong’s explanation, they are always unable to figure out the key points and know their meaning.

But I don't know why.

Liyana Zha's Tan Gong Ce is also a six-strategy book. What is recorded in it is the first set of thirty-six strategies to win the battle. The first strategy is to hide from the sky and cross the sea, the second strategy is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, the third strategy is to kill with a borrowed sword, and the fourth strategy is to wait for work.

, the fifth strategy is to take advantage of the fire, and the sixth strategy is to attack the east and the west.

Zhao Tong looked through it for a while and found that this manuscript was quite conscientious. There was not much bias in the interpretation of the Six Strategies.

He returned the book to Liya Nazha and said: "This Tan Gong Ce has thirty-six numbers, and yours only has six numbers, which are the six numbers at the beginning."

Liyana said: "The store owner of the book also said that it is not a complete book. You need to search for others."

Zhao Tong nodded: "I remember this book well, so I can tell you about it without reading the book."

Liyanaza asked in surprise: "General Li has read this military book?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "I have read it since I was a child, but I have never forgotten it. I just saw that there are some flaws in the copy of this book. It would be safer for me to teach you directly."

Liyana said: "That's the best. I'm a little jerky when reading it. Even if I know all the words, I'm afraid I won't understand it properly and misunderstand the meaning."

Zhao Tong nodded and said: "Don't the Uighurs have any military books?"

Liyanaza shook her head: "I occasionally see it, but it is also passed down from the Song Dynasty and Persia, but it is different from this kind. It is more difficult to read and understand."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Then I will tell it to General Shangguan now."

Then he started talking about the first strategy to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. After he finished explaining all six strategies, the sky had already turned a little white.

Liyanazha had been listening attentively. Even after Zhao Tu finished speaking, she sat there thinking about it for a long time. Zhao Tu smiled and said: "You can study it again by comparing it with this book. There is no unchanging truth about what is true and what is false on the battlefield.

Military books are dead, but people are alive. You cannot use dead military books to copy living people."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Liyana Zahu said: "Where are the others?"

Zhao Tong paused when he heard this and said: What else?"

Liyanaza's eyes were like stars and she said: "Isn't there a total of thirty-six strategies? These are only six strategies. When will you tell me the others?"

Zhao Tong turned around with a puzzled look on his face: "Did I say there are thirty-six strategies in total? Did I say that... I don't seem to remember saying that!"

Liyana looked at him for a long time and said, "General Li, how can you be willing to teach the other thirty strategies?"

Zhao Tong looked strange and said for a moment: "Did you really say that? That's because I remembered it wrong. It wasn't thirty-six strategies, only thirty-five strategies!"

Liyana said: "The bookstore owner said there were thirty-six strategies in total. You also said thirty-six strategies just now, and now it has become thirty-five strategies. General Li, you..."

Zhao Tong shook his head apologetically: "Regardless of the thirty-five strategies, I only remember the thirty-five strategies. General Shangguan also knows that this kind of secret military book has not been printed. It is really difficult to read the thirty-five strategies." ."

Liyanaza suddenly smiled: "Thirty-five strategies is thirty-five strategies... How can General Li be willing to teach the rest?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while, smiled slightly and said: "I heard that the Uighurs are dancing and are amazing. They are so graceful and graceful. I am very attracted to them. When the night is dark, I will step on the moon to watch. You are elegant and elegant, so I will not make my journey back and forth in vain. also."

After saying that, he went out and left, and after a while he came down from the tower.

Liya Naza looked at his back, smiled sweetly, and said to herself: "Thirty-six strategies have become thirty-five strategies, and I still want to watch the dance. It is really a wishful thinking..."

Zhao Tong led his people to the north gate of Luzhou. This was the place where he and Zhuomao changed guard. Not long after Zhuomao arrived, he rode back home.

After Zhao Tong arrived at the house, he didn't even eat breakfast and fell asleep. When he woke up, he immediately called Huang Gu and explained some things carefully, and Huang Gu left in a hurry.

Then he went to the courtyard to play with guns. The marksmanship he used was mixed and incomplete. The moves were all from Zhenzong's arsenal. They were generally incoherent and did not form a complete set.

But these marksmanships, even if they were only one and a half moves, were still so exquisite that Yao Pingzhong was left dazed beside him, scratching his head from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening again, and Zhao Tong went out of the house to continue his handover with Zhuo Mao. Two days passed in this way.

Suddenly that night, Zhao Tong was talking to the general guarding the city gate on the North City. The soldier at the city gate looking into the distance suddenly shouted: "General, general!"

The general guarding the north gate called him Lu Cheng, and he immediately said angrily: "What is the ghost's name?"

The soldier shouted hurriedly: "General, there are soldiers, there are soldiers coming from a distance..."

Lu Cheng's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, and he ran over to take a look. Zhao Tong followed closely behind, and saw dots of torches in the distance approaching, and he couldn't see how many people there were.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that the front team is returning?"

As the sound of horse hooves approached, Zhao Tao frowned and shook his head: "General Lu, it doesn't look like that..."

Lu Cheng immediately started sweating on his head and said: "Look again, look again!"

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that they were all cavalry, about two or three thousand, who were gradually approaching the city. With the torches of the opponent and the moonlight in the sky, the shape of the armor of these cavalry was vaguely visible. They turned out to be the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty!
