[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

"The banquet held in the mansion today is not only for the reception of the two military advisers, but also for the announcement of a major event. My lord has sent Liu He to Shu to contact me. The thief Liu Yan led his wife and daughter to serve as the Mi thief. With Zhang Lu, the leader of the Mi thief, as the governor and Sima, he attacked Hanzhong, burned the Tibetan plank road, killed the Han envoys, and refused to resume communication with the imperial court. He even pretended to ride a car with a weight of more than a thousand, a shady plan He made a different plan, and wrote a letter saying he was ill. The Son of Heaven had a kind heart, repaying grievances with virtue, and sent his son Zhang from Chang'an to Wuzhou to visit the sick, but he still didn't realize it, and left his son Yizhou."

"Although Jingzhou is far away, there are enough soldiers and armies. For ten years in Guzhi, we should work together to fight against the royal family. First cut down the rebels, and then go out of Wanye, welcome the emperor in Xijing, and restore the ancestral temple in Luoyang. This extraordinary act of righteousness is an unworldly grand cause. Also, I would like to join hands with all of you.”

Why are you talking about business all of a sudden?He just ate a few mouthfuls, and he didn't even have time to drink, so what's wrong with this banquet process!

When did the two military divisions happen?Why can't he remember what he said he wanted to work at all?Mu felt that an hour must have been lost in the middle, and his thoughts could not keep up with the development of things at all!

Xun You's hand that was about to raise his wine glass stopped in mid-air, as if a look of surprise appeared in his dazed and distracted eyes.

I have heard the confidential news that Yizhou generals were instigated to rebel, and it is too late to excuse and leave the meeting.Even if it was just to ensure that the news would not leak out, he would not even think about leaving the prefect's mansion, unless he followed the other party's words and really served Nanyang as a military adviser.

Dong Zhuo forced Cai Yong to ask Cai Yong's meaning symbolically, but this son didn't even ask, and directly created a fait accompli, saying that she was wronged by Dong Zhuo like Dong Zhuo! ! !

"This kind of meeting makes being an outsider extra, doesn't Zixu feel a little inappropriate?"

After thinking for a while, Xun You tilted his head slightly, and asked Du Xi, who was sitting next to him, in a low voice.

Du Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Gongda and Young Master came in the same car, of course they belong to Young Master, how could they be outsiders?"

Why is it that not only the lord acts like a bandit, but the people around him are all bandit logic! !

Xun You, who finally realized that he accidentally fell into the bandit's den, was silent for a while, regained his wooden face, and began to pretend to be dazed.

You lose if you argue with the bandits, Xun You, you have to be calm, you must be calm.

"Get a map."

Hearing Wang Lang's order, an attendant unfolded the map of Yizhou drawn on the cloth and put it on the screen one person high behind the throne, and another person removed the food table at the throne to make room for Wang Lang.

"This is a map of Yizhou drawn according to the principle of proportional scaling. One foot on the map is equivalent to one-third of the horizontal distance on the ground. The mountains, rivers, roads and trails distributed in Yizhou are also marked according to strict measurements. Tomorrow we will We will send a special person to teach you how to use this new type of map."

Wang Lang walked to the side of the screen so that the eight people below could see the whole picture of the map of Yizhou that she had drawn in three nights.Although Liu Biao sent a lot of detailed work to Yizhou, the information he got was far from the level of drawing maps.The data used in this picture was measured by someone specially sent by her after the Eastern Jin Dynasty recaptured Bashu. Thanks to Xiao Wang who asked her to recite this and that every three days, she just developed the ability of photographic memory, so that she can restore it from memory .

"Gongyu... how credible is this picture...?"

There was silence in the hall, and the eight people were so shocked by the map of Bashu that they were speechless. In the end, Zhao Yandang, who had been revealed by Wang Lang in advance, came back to his senses first, and asked for confirmation with a hoarse voice.

"If you're asking about the authenticity of the map, [-]%; if you're asking about the error between your map and the real geography, it's more than [-]%."

Considering some of the fortifications built by Zhuge Liang after he entered Shu, Wang Lang gave the most conservative estimate.

"Eighty percent is enough, enough."

Wei Yan stared at the map with both eyes, wishing he could get down on the map and see clearly.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he rushed out of the line, clasped his fists, and begged Wang Lang, "Please give me 1, no, [-]. With this picture, I will guarantee that Mianzhu will be captured within half a month and won." The head of Liu Yan's rebel is dedicated to the son"

A face flushed with excitement.

"A mere scumbag dares to boast in Haikou. If you are not hired, I would like to lead [-] forwards to pull cotton bamboo for you, please give me an order"

Wenpin, who reacted only half a step slower than Wei Yan, also came out to challenge, and the loud and energetic voice shook the water in the cup with shallow ripples.

Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, please make up your own mind. Wang Lang flicked the map, drawing a line with his index finger, and said:

"This time the army is divided into two groups. On the one side, Cai Desi led the navy to go up the river from Yiling to attack Shu. On the other side, I led the troops to ride 4 people on the Sichuan River and joined Degui in Mianzhu. Wenchang, here You eight thousand Xuanjias are attacking Mianzhu and serving as the vanguard of our army, are you sure you can defeat the enemy?"

"Xuanjia?! Wei Yan was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists heavily, and issued a military order:

"The final general will take Liu Yan's dog head for the young master within half a month. If not, the military law will do it."

Wang Lang was not moved, and said with a solemn expression: "I will be the commander of Yuan Zhi in this battle, I will cherish you, you two need to work together, don't let me down."

Wei Yan has an arrogant personality and is extremely unpopular among her subordinates. The only one who has the same temperament as Xu Shu, who is a young man who is good at fencing and has a lot of knowledge.Considering that ordinary scribes could not bear the pain of running thousands of miles and traveling day and night, Wei Yan respected Xu Shu very much, so she could rest assured that Xu Shu could serve as a military adviser to assist Wei Yan.

"promise"

"promise"

Xu Shu and Wei Yan looked at each other and received the order at the same time.

Wang Lang nodded slightly, then left the main seat and walked towards Wenpin:

"General Zhongye is strict and good at defense. With the general in the rear, I dare to leave Nanyang and go to Shuzhong. After I leave, the remnants of Dong Zhuo in the north and Yuan Shu in the east may invade. The important task of guarding Nanyang will be given to General Zhongye. gone."

Wenpin, who was still unhappy because of Wei Yan's appointment, turned his anger into joy, and bowed and clasped his fists in high spirits:

"I will live up to my son's entrustment."

Wang Lang personally helped him up, then turned to Zhao Yan, remained silent for a while, looked into his eyes and said:

"Between you and me, there is no need to say too much. There are 500 million households in Nanyang. I will entrust all of them to Boran. Please trouble Boran."

This one sentence is more effective than ten or a hundred sentences.

Zhao Yan showed excitement, and clasped his fists heavily and said: "Young master, don't worry, if you teach the thieves to cross the county boundary, it will be shameless to see you again in this life.

Wang Lang patted him on the shoulder lightly, and made up the rest of the arrangement:

"Han Gong and Zixu stayed behind for me, especially Ye County bordering Runan, Zixu encouraged him. Bohou and Feng Xiao accompanied the army and were counselors for military affairs. Mr. Gongda was appointed by the prefect of Shu County. After entering Ba County, I will share a Sending troops to escort Mr. to his post. That’s about it, do you have any objections?”

The navy led by Cai Mao went up the river and crossed Shu County before reaching Mianzhu to meet the young master.Divide the troops and send him to Shu County to take up his post. Isn't he under Cai Mao?It would be better to follow this young man all the way.

It was rare to weigh quickly, and Xun You came out and clasped his fists and said, "Follow your master as you wish."

Wang Lang nodded, and the quick response made Xun You suspect that she had premeditated:

"That's fine."

Du Ji, who was named to accompany the army, frowned and said, "Except for the eight thousand soldiers assigned to General Wei, there are only [-] soldiers left by your side. Is it too risky?"

To be called adventurous by the most adventurous person...

Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Bohou, you are too worried. Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning have a total of more than [-] people. There are not a few wealthy families in the middle of Shu who are dissatisfied with Liu Yan's assertiveness. Your Excellency has sent envoys to These powerful families got in touch and promised that as long as our army enters Shu, they will immediately raise troops to respond to our army, or to welcome our army into the city. The specific situation will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow, is there any problem?"

The wealthy family in the middle of Shu...

Hearing Wang Lang's answer, everyone fell into a state of speechlessness.

Liu Biao, shepherd of Jingzhou, was famous for being lenient to his family in Xiangyang. The wealthy families in central Shu who were suppressed by Liu Yan welcomed Liu Biao, so it should be easy to understand.The problem is that the one who really uses the army is not like that at all. Even against the Nanyang tyrants, this son will prosper if he obeys me, and perish if he opposes him.These wealthy families in the middle of Sichuan may have chased away the wolf with their front feet, but ushered in the tiger with their back feet. Not to mention their hard work, they even ushered in an even more powerful one.

It's all the fault of this weird father and daughter!

The hall was silent for a long time, and Du Xi stepped forward to round things up for everyone:

"After Taigong and Guanzi, I never expected to meet such a temple. I am convinced."

Wu Qi, a famous military strategist who is as famous as Sun Wu, once said:

"Warring States in the world, five victors will be disasters, four victors will be disadvantageous, three victors will dominate, two victors will be kings, and one victors will be emperors. Those who win the world with numbers are few, and those who win the world are many."

It means that if you want to make the country strong, you need to fight as few battles as possible, because wars are too destructive and harmful to both the enemy and us. interests, so we should try our best to solve the problem by means other than war.

A similar meaning is also recorded in "Sun Tzu's Art of War":

"Soldiers who subdue others without fighting are those who are good. Therefore, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city."

Translated into vernacular, it roughly means:

The best way is to subdue all enemies without fighting.Therefore, the first-class military action uses strategy to defeat the local strategic intention or war behavior, secondly uses diplomacy to defeat the enemy, and then uses force to defeat the enemy. The lowest-level strategy is to attack the enemy's city.

Tai Gong is Jiang Shang, and Guan Zi is Guan Zhong.

The reason why Du Xi said that these two people seldom heard such calculations today is because among all kinds of war methods, Jiang Shang mainly won the victory through strategy, even in the final decisive battle of Muye, it was a devastating victory. Complete victory, Guan Zhong mainly achieved victory through diplomatic means, and rarely used troops, which is what Confucius called "Nine princes, not military chariots".

These two people are outstanding strategists who are epoch-making. One is a "conquest" and the other is a "conquest", far surpassing the military strategists who achieved victory mainly by "conquest" and "siege" during the Warring States period.Therefore, after hearing that Wang Lang had infiltrated Yizhou into a sieve and foreseeing an easy victory, Du Xi compared her temple to Jiang Shang and Guan Zhong's plan.

But what Du Xi said was not entirely correct.

Because after Jiang Shang and Guan Zhong, there was another person who also won the final victory by means of "conquest" and "conquest"--Li Si, the famous prime minister of Qin who assisted Qin Shihuang to eliminate the six kingdoms and unify the world.

It is impossible for the Qin State to wipe out tens of millions of countries with the strength of one country, and it is impossible to defeat each of them with real swords and guns. The loss is too great

Therefore, Li Si "conspiracy sent counselors to hold gold and jade to lobby the princes. The princes and famous scholars can give money to those who make a legacy, and those who refuse to do so will be stabbed with a sharp sword." After separating all the monarchs and ministers of the six countries, "King Qin It is to make good generals follow."

Only in this way can the six countries be unified while retaining the strength of Qin.

Of course, the past dynasties have always praised Jiang Shang and Guan Zhong, but negatively criticized Qin Shihuang and Li Si. If Du Xi dared to use Li Si as a metaphor, he would simply be impatient.

"Zixu has won the prize." Smiling, Wang Lang walked back to the main seat, took down the map on the screen, handed it to the attendants, and said to everyone, "We will do this tonight, and we will discuss the details at the meeting tomorrow. Let's go back and rest first. By the way, the two military advisers stay here for a while, I still have some things to trouble you two."
