Lan Yuan looked at the sand table and seemed to have some understanding. He pointed at the sand table and said: "There are three Northern Expedition routes in Qishan, Jingbei and Huainan. Qishan in the west is the most difficult. The supply line is too difficult. Even though Brother Shizai has been stationed in Hanzhong for two years

, it’s not enough to feed the entire Northern Expedition army. From what my father said just now, it seems that the western front is the breakthrough point, and General Guan is just a containment. We will suffer too much if we don’t occupy the land..."

"There is nothing we can do about it. Cao Cao took advantage of the time and captured the north. Our counterattack now can only suffer losses because all the separatist forces in various places have been eliminated. Wei can now coordinate the forces of various states and counties in a unified manner." Lan Tian sighed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I think we should feign an attack at Qishan Mountain and make it bigger than before. If Cao Pi divides his troops to rescue, the king can go down the Han River and cooperate with his uncle's Jingzhou army to penetrate Wanluo. Maybe he can do it in one fell swoop

Capture Luoyang, the eastern capital." Lan Ji also put forward his own suggestion.

Gao Shun was a little surprised after hearing this, and hurriedly congratulated Lan Tian: "I didn't expect Zhong Ling to be so diligent. He often goes to the war room these days, and the strategic pattern opens up instantly. I think his suggestion is very feasible. Before the King of Hanzhong,

Why don't you, sir, write a letter to offer suggestions for attacking Chencang?"

Lan Ji felt happy when he heard Gao Shun's compliment, but Lan Tian's face was very calm. He shook his head and said: "Zhong Ling's plan seems good, but the strategies you can think of, those Luoyang advisers will

Unexpectedly? At this time, Cao Wei has advantages in terms of military strength and geographical advantages. If he wants to win, he can only do the opposite and use a method that no one expects."

"Father's analysis makes sense. The so-called soldiers are deceitful. If the strength is not equal and if you want to win, it is obviously inappropriate to use conspiracy to advance. I really hope that I can contribute on the Western Front battlefield..." Lan Yuan sighed.

Gao Shun patted Lan Yuan on the back and said: "If you go to the battlefield on the Western Front, who will protect Jiaozhou under Mr.'s rule? Don't forget that there is Soochow next to us."

"Soochow? How dare they? I really want to fight with my uncle. Father, when can I leave the Huben Martial Arts Hall? My child is already fifteen years old this year..." Lan Ji was reminded of his thoughts by Lan Yuan,

He was reminding Lan Tian of his age, telling him that he could join the army at this age.

Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled, "The General of the Supervisory Academy of Huben Martial Arts Hall is here. When will you learn enough to ask him?"

"Uncle Gao? When will I..." Lan Ji looked at Gao Shun expectantly.

Gao Shun had communicated with Lan Tian privately. Guan Yu was only trying to contain and pull the Wei army in Nanyang, and the time for a full-scale attack had not come at all, so it was meaningless to let Lan Ji go north now.

"Zhong Ling, what are you anxious about? The youth camp has only been in the martial arts hall for a few months, and many things have not been learned solidly. You will have to wait until at least this time next year."

"Ah? It will take so long? I think I understand everything..." Lan Ji immediately lowered his head after retorting, and then quietly went to peek at Gao Shun's reaction.

In terms of Lan Ji's personal qualities, Gao Shun believed that he was more than enough to be a captain or a lieutenant, but there was a clear gap between him and Lan Yuan, who could lead an army.

Gao Shun felt that if Lan Ji, a good young man, was pushed to the battlefield too early to train on his own, it might take a long time to learn, so Gao Shun would not let him go now, and he had very good reasons to refuse.

"Zhong Ling needs to know how to be humble. If you can really stand on your own now, your idea just now will not be refuted by your teacher. You should learn more at Huben Academy with an open mind. The teachers are all experienced in the battlefield. They will teach you with their own experience."

Fight."

Lan Ji didn't know how to respond for a moment, but he immediately changed the subject, "After all, I am just a military commander, and my view of the problem is a bit simple. I want to use Huainan and Nanyang to contain the Wei army, and put the main force on the western front as a surprise. Who came up with such a grand strategic idea? Who came out? Is it the king or Prime Minister Zhuge?"

Gao Shun was startled when he heard this. He looked at Lan Tian and wanted to ask for instructions. Unexpectedly, Lan Tian replied generously: "This plan was proposed by Kong Ming and I as staff members. He went back to Chengdu to confirm the details with the king, Military Advisor Pang, and Military Advisor France. It was a collective effort." strategy."

"You are all the king's top advisers. If Uncle Gao compares me with you, is it a bit bullying for children..." Lan Ji reacted quickly and immediately found a loophole to counterattack.

"Uh..." Gao Shun was shocked, but he was a veteran on the battlefield after all. He responded directly with a smile while stroking his beard. There was no panic on his face. He knew that Lan Tian would come to his rescue.

"Why can't we compare? Can't young people have a high level of thinking? Although you are just a military commander now, you are in charge of 500 people in the youth camp. Any immature decision may make them pay the price. In the future, you will definitely lead more The more soldiers you have, the more wars you will command and participate in. The more comprehensive your strategic thinking is, the less damage your army will suffer. You don’t want to risk the lives of your soldiers to exercise your commanding ability, right?" Lan Tian asked in a deep voice.

"Uh...I..." Lan Ji hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Sir, don't be so serious. Zhong Ling is still young after all. He actually did a good job when he participated in the battle to defend Jiangling..." Seeing Lan Ji's sad expression, Gao Shun quickly jumped out to smooth things over.

Lan Tian nodded and changed the subject, his tone became amiable, "Bo Ping is right, you have strong learning and memory abilities at your age. You should spend more time training in Huben Wutang and participate more in the actual combat drills organized by Wutang. It will be helpful to you." It will be beneficial to unite the troops in the future. Everyone has his or her own mission. Don’t rush to make achievements. It will be difficult to succeed before the time comes. Did you forget the map I gave you?"

"Well... I just think that I am just a military commander. In the future, as a charger, I will just work hard from a low level. As for the big strategic layout, I have my father. Prime Minister Zhuge will consider it..." Lan Ji expressed the doubt in his heart.

"This is a big fallacy. Don't think that you are just a military commander now and don't need to have a comprehensive strategic thinking. In fact, it has nothing to do with your position. As long as you can put it in your mind, you will be able to deal with small things with ease. Just like you If Uncle Gao also leads the youth camp, he will definitely feel very relaxed." Lan Tian directly took Gao Shun as an example.

Lan Ji seemed to have realized something, and quickly gave Gao Shun and Lan Tian a military salute with cupped fists, and then said sonorously: "Don't worry, kid, but I have a request, I don't know whether I should tell it or not..."

"Tell me about it." Lan Tian waved his hand gently.

"My father's strategic layout is so powerful. Can you give me some advice more often, or take more time to come to Huben Martial Hall to talk about it? Anyway, you are also the vice-president general. I should be able to improve if I listen more." Lan Ji scratched his head and smiled. road.

"I think it's okay...but Mr. Gao Shun is busy with government affairs..." Gao Shun looked at Lantian expectantly.

Lantian thought for a while and said: "I will try my best to take five days a month. You gather the children with high intelligence in the youth camp. Boyang, you also gather the Sima from all the camps of the trapped army. Boping, you can find a place when the time comes. I will go I will give you tactics and battle sharing.”
