After the exercise, Lu Bu arranged for his subordinates to rest and prepare for the expedition.
Langju Xu Mountain is located in the north of Mo, and it was the place where Huo Qubing conquered the Huns and established stones to record merits. The emperor chose this place as the site of the first expedition, which had obvious meaning, and Lu Bu did not dare to take it lightly.
If this battle is successful, he can not only make contributions, but also create a new tactic, combining the advantages of Li Guang and Wei Huo, and leave a name in history.
After repeatedly instructing his subordinates to prepare well, Lu Bu returned to the camp and sent someone to ask Mrs. Wei to return to the camp.
When Mrs. Wei learned that Lu Bu was about to go on an expedition, she was also very happy and encouraged Lu Bu in a rare way.
Lu Bu was a little regretful. "It's a pity that Xiaohuan couldn't accompany him."
When Mrs. Wei heard this, the smile on her face suddenly dissipated. "I'm confused, how can Xiaohuan accompany you?"
"Why can't it?" Lu Bu was puzzled. "What a good opportunity to make meritorious service? If you win..."
"What if I lose?" Mrs. Wei interrupted Lu Bu angrily. "This is the first time trying, the difficulty is much greater than you think. All you are sure of is the matchup, but on the grassland, the biggest
The difficulty is not to defeat the opponent in the last battle, but to find the opponent. If you can’t find the opponent, you will…”
Mrs. Wei paused and glared at Lu Bu fiercely. "How can Xiaohuan participate in such a war? No matter what, she is also a woman and will marry in the future. A woman is following a group of horse thieves to survive on the grassland.
, Does it sound good if it is spread?"
Lu Bu opened his mouth and did not dare to answer again.
He is not unfamiliar with the life of a horse thief and knows what will happen when facing life and death.
"You, it's too simple to think about things." Mrs. Wei stretched out her finger and poked Lu Bu's forehead hard. "Soldiers are major issues of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival, how can we take it lightly? If you are
If you don't take it seriously, just don't go. Anyway, you have a title, so when you catch it, you will have a son..."
Lu Bu quickly interrupted Mrs. Wei and said seriously: "The emperor trusts me and gives me a heavy responsibility. How can I let the emperor down?"
Mrs. Wei gave Lu Bu a blank look, held back her laughter, and poked Lu Bu's heart with her fingers. "Then you just keep the secretary you have read in your heart, don't just talk about it. The first sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War is the eyes of the whole book,
How can it be a joke?"
Lu Bu couldn't help but be surprised. "Madam, I'm just wondering, why did you read the Art of War? Could it be that you also want to be a female general?"
"What kind of female general am I? I am old and can't pull a bow or a knife. It's Guiren Xun who is idle and has nothing to do, so I read some military tactics. After listening to a few words, I felt something is reasonable. Tsk, I am worthy of being a family.
, it means you can read and understand all kinds of things."
Lu Bu was very curious and asked Mrs. Wei to tell him.
He has put in a lot of effort to read recently and has benefited a lot. But later after listening to Jia Xu's lecture, he realized that his reading was really just reading and he had not understood the essence of it at all. Now he heard Mrs. Wei talk about Concubine Xun and now he heard that Mrs. Wei talk about Concubine Xun
If you know how to read, you naturally want to learn two tricks.
Mrs. Wei told Lu Bu some of the things she heard when she was accompanying Mrs. Xun. For example, the first sentence of "The Art of War" by many people would take it as a general statement and skip it. Mrs. Wei was the same at that time, and later
After hearing the words of Concubine Xun, I realized that the first sentence is the outline and the eye of the whole book. If I had not understood this sentence, the subsequent books would be read in vain.
The most typical example is Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo can memorize the military tactics and his actual command ability is also excellent - after all, he can command hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to fight against Bai Qi for 46 days, which shows that Zhao Kuo is not a mediocre player - but he lacks awe of war,
The act of underestimating the enemy led to him falling into Bai Qi's trap and causing him to suffer a crushing defeat.
If Zhao Kuo had realized the significance of this battle before, it would not be a hasty attack, but a more cautious approach, the result of this battle between Qin and Zhao would probably be another way.
After saying that, Zhao Kuo, Mrs. Wei started to play freely again. "You said, if the emperor led Liang's army to advance eastward at this moment, could he defeat Yuan Shao?"
Lu Bu thought about it carefully. "There should be 50% or 60% of the chance."
"You only see 50% or 60% of the chances of success, but the emperor sees the possibility of failure for 40% or 50%. Once you lose, the anger that Gingliang had just recovered may be destroyed. So the emperor is not in a hurry to send troops, but
Wait patiently, wait until these 50% or 60% of the chances become 70% or 80% or 80% or 80% or 90% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10% or 10
Lu Bu laughed silently. "Since it is a battle, there must be risks, so how can there be no foolproof?"
"So you are you, the emperor is the emperor. Although you are known as a flying general, you were defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si and had to flee to Guandong, run around for several years, and return in a mess. Although the emperor defeated Li Jue in one fell swoop,
Guo Si won the Huayin victory, but did not rush to advance eastward, but wandered around and gathered strength, and waited for the opportunity to win in one battle."
Lu Bu was exposed by Mrs. Wei, and was angry and turned around and stopped talking to Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei walked behind Lu Bu, hugged his waist, and his face pressed against his back. "Okay, okay, I just hope you are more careful and not too careless. This expedition is a little bit smaller, it's you
To put it more broadly, it is the attempt of the great man to revive his ambitions. If the emperor gives you this opportunity, you must seize it."
"Yes." Lu Bu held Mrs. Wei's hand and nodded slightly.
——
The night is dark and the light is bright.
Liu Xie stood in front of the map of the big tent, motionless.
Although it has been carefully collected and sorted, the map of Mobei is still a large blank space. Even the mountains and rivers marked cannot guarantee the accuracy, and can only be said to be rough.
Liu Xie was actually unsure whether Lu Bu's expedition could go smoothly. And Lu Bu's blind optimism made him dare not place too high hopes. Due to the limitations of conditions, there are only limited projects that can be verified, and more problems need to be marching.
During the process, it was discovered and adjusted.
It is almost certain that this expedition to Langjuxu Mountain will encounter many problems. If it can be recorded in detail, it is precious information. However, it is hard to say whether Lu Bu can pay attention to these problems and whether he can pay attention to these problems.
The best way is to arrange for Lu Bu to join the army. In addition to providing advice, you must also record the things you encountered along the way, the more detailed the better. Considering the conditions during the march, it is impossible to write in time, this person needs
Have excellent memory.
"Shangshutai, does Lantai have a good memory?" Liu Xie turned around, walked back to the desk and sat down, and asked Cai Yan casually.
"Your Majesty needs the secretary who will go to war with Marquis Wen?"
"Um."
"Shangshutai, Lantai has people with good memory, but they may not be able to adapt to this kind of military life, nor may they understand what is worth remembering during the march and what is not necessary. It is better to choose one from Jia Shizhong's disciples."
"who?"
Cai Yan smiled and said nothing.
After Liu Xie thought for a while, he understood what Cai Yan meant.
Huang Yi is indeed a suitable candidate. He is smart, has good reading and can endure hardships. Jia Xu has praised him several times.
Of course, Huang Yi is a rare role model.
The children of the Huang family in Jiangxia can serve the court and become talents with both civil and military skills. What qualifications do other scholars have to say?
Those who say they cannot do it are not that they cannot, but that they do not.
The reason why they did not do anything is that they had never suffered any hardships, had never been beaten by society, and they also wanted to persuade the ministers and the princes to pick up the blue and purples with their fair share of words.
"Summon Huang Yi."
"Now?" Cai Yan was a little surprised.
"Now." Liu Xie said: "Ten thousand years are too long, so I have to seize the day."
