The Philosopher's Dandy Dream

Chapter 42 The Art of War

Drinking horses and crossing the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife.The yellow dust is full of ancient and modern times, and the white bones are chaotic.

Yu Zeshun stood outside the camp, leading the horse, watching the sunset gradually sinking to the bottom of the mountain.

Flocks of geese passed overhead, and Yu Zeshun had been thinking about teaching Liu Duxing for nearly half a month.The relationship between the two became quite good.

It's just that Liu Duxing doesn't seem to have made much progress.

But having said that, I don't seem to want him to make much progress.

Yu Ze took a deep breath.

Is it right or wrong to teach a young man who is dedicated to serving the country and has a good family the art of war?

……

This is a debatable question.

……

Because, maybe when you work hard and finally sharpen him into a sharp blade, he may give you a knife in the back regardless of any friendship.

Wolves, after all, are not well-raised!

However, is Liu Duxing a wolf?

……

Yu Zeshun thought of Liu Duxing's "uprightness" and found it funny inexplicably.How can a person who is detained by Taoism become a wolf?

……

Yu Ze touched the knife on his waist, teaching is teaching, why should he worry on the sidelines?

Since he dared to teach, it was obvious that everything was under control, so why worry about him stabbing a knife?

……

Yu Ze stood up with his hands folded, analyzing carefully.

Generally speaking, Liu Duxing's temperament is quite honest. In the future, if Liu Shenyan gains power, he can borrow his strength and get a share of the pie. As a weight, if the two brothers lose their power, then they have the right to pretend that they are blind.

……

Yu Ze sighed suddenly, even if he really fought hand to hand in the future, it is estimated that this kid will not kill them all.

……

After much deliberation, Yu Zeshun felt that this was a deal that only made money but didn't lose money!

Most men who fight wars have to talk about friendship.

……

Speaking of friendship, Yu Zeshun thought that the last time he sent a letter to tell the truth, he asked his father to remind Liu Shenyan a little bit, don't try too hard, but his father's reply was just letting nature take its course and had no intention of accepting it.

Yu Zeshun felt a little worried.

Although the army is in his own hands now, the food and grass have always been provided by the court. If the court is cut off, it will be bad.

Only prepare early!

……

Just as Yu Ze looked into the distance.

A sentry came on horseback, and the sergeant turned over and knelt down on one knee, "General, letter from home!"

Yu Ze condensed his attention, took it, and took it apart.

After scanning the first few words, "Liu Erzi has abandoned", it caught Yu Zeshun's attention.He held his breath and finished reading, the content of the letter made Yu Ze break out in a cold sweat.

Liu Duxing sued Liu Shenyan?

Yu Zeshun couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth, how could that brat protect his brother do such a thing?Moreover, the letter Liu Duxing wrote to Liu Shenyan was obviously opened and checked secretly.It's just the questioning of Liu Shenyan and the gratitude to himself, as well as some mixed feelings that ambition is unrewardable, how could it be possible to make trouble in the court?

Unless...unless someone intervenes in the middle!

Why would anyone meddle?

……

Yu Zeshun realized that this was not something he should think about. The rights and wrongs of the Liu brothers had nothing to do with him. What he should think about was the Yu family. Also, if his letter was stolen...

Yu Ze broke out in cold sweat.

Then I thought of the last few words 'holy exile'...

Yu Zeshun was a little uncertain, was this what the ministers meant, or Liu Shenyan, or the Queen Mother?The Holy Majesty should not be able to deal with such matters, right?

……

Yu Zeshun thought about the verdict of Liu Duxing being exiled, and returned to the camp.Pushing aside his own tent, he found that Du Xing was writing urgently at his desk.

"Practice!" Yu Ze called out suddenly.

"Ah, Brother Yu, you're back." The boy's face was full of joy.

"It's so late at night, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Brother Yu talked about military art with me today, and he felt deeply, so he didn't want to go to bed early!" The boy's face was reflected in the candlelight, warming him up.

Yu Ze looked at the boy's face suddenly, and inexplicably thought of another boy he saw in Hualou that day.Although they are brothers, the faces of these two people have no similarities.

Liu Duxing always gives people an indescribable aura of nobility, wisdom, loyalty and purity, while Liu Shenyan is sometimes smug, sometimes quite strong, with thousands of faces, he is not easy to provoke at first glance.

Thinking of that time when the copper plate was poured from the sole of the shoe, Yu Zeshun smiled, and thinking of his sister who was determined to marry him, Yu Zeshun was a little inexplicably unhappy.

……

"Brother Yu, look!"

Liu Duxing showed Yu Zeshun the written letter.

Yu Zeshun saw that the header was addressed to Liu Shenyan, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"What elder brother Yu said today has much in common with what my brother said in the past. Therefore, I plan to write to brother Yu and ask him to send a message." Liu Duxing's face was full of pride.

"What are the similarities?" Yu Zeshun was a little shocked, he talked about the art of defeating the enemy during the day, how did Liu Shenyan know?

Seeing that Yu Zeshu was curious, Liu Duxing didn't think about it, "When Xing was young, he often played with his neighbors in the suburbs of Beijing. My brother taught me not to compete with the vulgar. It is suitable to adapt to local conditions and defeat everyone."

"Oh? What do you mean? Please explain in detail!"

"Brother as the saying goes, there are sages who say that generals tend to have ten defects, and ordinary people also have them, namely: brave and easy to die, impatient and eager for success, greedy and profit-seeking, kind and tolerant, smart But timid and timid, honest and credulous, honest and mean to his subordinates, resourceful and indecisive, strong and self-willed, cowardly and dependent on others."

"Knowing these ten defects, what use is it for you to play with your neighbors?"

"Brother, a sage uses his wisdom and uses his strength carefully. When the flaw is obvious, he can seize the opportunity and he can pull a thousand catties. For the brave and despised death, it can irritate him; the impatient and eager for success can last and wear him down. Those who are greedy and profit-seeking can be bribed; those who are kind and appeasement can be harassed and tired; Insult them; those who are cunning and indecisive, you can surprise them; those who are strong and self-willed, you can calculate them; those who are cowardly and dependent on others, you can fool them."

"The great affairs of the country, the way of survival and death, the fate of the generals! Don't be careless! Your brother's method is too pretentious!" Even though Liu Shenyan's words are very reasonable, Yu Zeshun does not want Liu Duxing to grasp the essence... Liu Shenyan is a man variable.

"What?" Liu Duxing felt a little confused when he saw that his elder brother's claim was denied for the first time to an outsider.

"For the way of generals, wisdom, trust, benevolence, courage, and strictness are all indispensable. Powerful people control power because of profit. Soldiers, in reality, are deceitful. Therefore, if you can, you can show that you can't. To show the far, to show the far, to show the near; benefit to lure, chaos to take, reality to prepare, strong to avoid, angry to scratch, humble to be arrogant, lost to work, relative to leave. To attack those who are unprepared, to catch them by surprise. This is the right way to use troops."

……

Seeing Yu Ze talking eloquently, Liu Duxing felt a little more grateful, and taught himself so unguardedly, how can such kindness be repaid?I must add a few lines later, so that my brother can write more tricks!Although Big Brother Yu doesn't like these things, it's always good to read more.
