I, the crown prince, resign [Transmigration Book]

Recently, the emperor seems to like to test Li Jinghuan and Li Jingrong's questions about the border and beyond the Great Wall. Li Jinghuan and Li Jingrong are also very serious about his teachings. understanding of boundaries.

Listening to his father's question, Li Jinghuan understood what his father was thinking.Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest level of military strategists. I am afraid that I will be disappointed this time. This battle should not be fought for a while.However, he also understands in his heart that although this battle cannot be fought now, the war is still unavoidable, it just depends on the timing and how to use troops.

As soon as the affairs of the household department over there were over, Li Jingrong plunged into Yuqing Palace and began to inquire about news from Li Jinghuan.

Li Jingyi, Li Jinghan, Li Jingyan, Li Jingshuo and other young people also gathered around Li Jinghuan and asked questions about the Saibei grassland.Li Jingye looked at the eager eyes of these children, and hit them unkindly: "Even if there is a war, it will not be your turn, you little ones, there is really no need for you to be so excited."

"Third brother is really boring. Even if we can't go to the battlefield, can't we still make suggestions from the rear?" Li Jingshuo, the youngest, retorted unconvinced.Tong Zhen's words made the brothers happy.

"Did I say something wrong?" Li Jingshuo looked at his brothers with some doubts.

"Hahaha! That's right, that's right!" Li Jingye shook his head, jokingly said, "That's right, it's just that it's a little funny to say it from your mouth."

"Hmph! What's so funny!" Li Jingshuo said angrily with a feeling of being underestimated.

After Li Jingye teased him, he ignored him, and turned to look at Li Jinghuan who seemed to be lost in thought, "Second brother, what are you thinking? You are so engrossed."

"Yeah, second brother, tell us, what does the emperor think?" Li Jingyi also leaned over to Li Jinghuan and asked.

Li Jinghuan was thinking quietly about the topic his father gave him this time, but he was so entangled by these little ones that he had no choice but to tell the results of his recent thinking, "There is a saying in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": Based on five things, check them out and find out their feelings: one is the Dao, the other is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. You can compare and think about it!"

"What do you mean?" Li Jingyi muttered, when did the second brother become so polite, just like the third brother, he kept saying things he couldn't understand.

"The so-called soldiers who subdue the enemy without fighting are those who are good. 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; the method of attacking the city is a last resort. Those who make good use of soldiers are not the soldiers who defeat the enemy. In war, it is not about attacking but pulling out a city of people, and not for a long time to destroy a country of people. It is necessary to fight for the whole world, so the army is not stopped, but the profit can be complete. This is the method of attacking."

A warm voice sounded, Li Jinghuan turned his head to look over, and saw Li Jingxuan smiled at himself and asked: "What does the second brother mean?"

Li Jinghuan was just saying that the time for war had not yet come, but unexpectedly Li Jingxuan said this passage from "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but after thinking about it carefully, it was not wrong to say so, so he nodded with a smile.

"I didn't expect the fifth brother to study the art of war!" Li Jingrong's tone was very upset. He came to talk about the war with the prince, but the prince either talked to him about food or financial resources. What does all this have to do with him? What I want to know is the current situation of the frontier fortress.After finally getting involved in the war, Li Jingxuan came up with such a high-spirited talk again, who hasn't read military books?

Li Jingxuan could also hear the displeasure in his tone, but he smiled meekly as always, but he didn't speak anymore.It was Li Jingye who complained in a low voice, "Idiot!"

"Third brother." Li Jinghuan glanced at Li Jingye with some warning.

Li Jingye looked at his somewhat depressed face, and also bowed his head and did not speak.Li Jingrong himself didn't care about it, he just said: "The third child doesn't like a rough man like my master, and I don't like his sour appearance!" After speaking, he ignored Li Jingye's reaction and turned to look at Li Jinghuan, "I'm talking about the second brother, you should tell me about the attitude of the emperor, and stop talking about Wen Zou Zou."

"Big brother is right, second brother, since big brother has spoken, you shouldn't always talk to us about other things!" Li Jingyi took Li Jingrong's words very seriously.

Li Jinghuan lowered his head and thought about it, thinking about how to speak more appropriately.

"Also," Li Jingyi added embarrassingly: "Second brother, what did you mean by the passage you just read? My brother didn't quite understand it."

Since he asked this, the explanation is simple. Li Jinghuan raised his head and gave him a consoling smile, "Second brother didn't fool you. Have you ever heard a saying that food and grass go first before soldiers and horses move?" ?”

"Tch, you still say you're not fooling me. If the emperor says a word, everything will be in place."

"Sixth Brother, how much do you know about the Ministry of Households? How much do you know about the situation of the Ministry of War and the condition of the soldiers?" Li Jinghuan asked Li Jingyi persuasively.

"A man who makes meritorious deeds on the battlefield knows what to do. I don't understand, but I don't need to understand."

"Really?" Li Jinghuan asked back, but the questioning tone made Li Jingyi a little guilty.

"It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!" Li Jingye shook his head and said.

Seeing that Li Jingyi was about to get angry, and the two were about to fight, Li Jinghuan stroked his forehead, a little weak.It seems that there is nothing wrong with the relationship between these brothers, it's just that there are conflicts in their methods of doing things and ideas.In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Jinghuan began to change the subject, "By the way, fifth brother, I remember you once drew the border terrain, right?"

"Ah?" Li Jingxuan, who had been silent all this time, was called by Li Jinghuan's name, and seeing other brothers looking at him, there was a moment of bewilderment on his face, but he still nodded.

"Come on, let's draw it for everyone to see." Li Jinghuan suggested.

Although Li Jingxuan was very strange, but seeing his brother Xiyi's eyes, he still picked up the brush and began to draw.After a while, he put down his pen and said, "That's all I remember, I don't know the rest."

"Okay! I didn't expect the fifth child to have this ability!" Li Jingrong said excitedly, and began to admire this younger brother.

Li Jingye looked at the picture, glanced at it briefly, picked up a pen and added a few strokes, "This is not the case here, and there is something missing here." Facing everyone's surprised eyes, he said lightly: "I I have read some related books."

"Third brother hides so deeply, I really thought that third brother was not interested in fighting!" Li Jingyan shouted loudly.

"You have no experience, kid, don't underestimate this sour scholar, his riding and shooting skills are better than yours." Although Li Jingrong was a little unconvinced, he had to admit that he had always looked down on him. The third younger brother is indeed worthy of a sentence of both civil and martial arts.

"Third brother, can you also mark the location of the capital?" Li Jingye was about to stop writing, when he heard Li Jinghuan's words, he looked up at the second brother of the prince, nodded, and finished drawing again.

"Second brother, do you want..." Li Jingxuan seemed to understand Li Jinghuan's plan, showing a clear smile, Li Jinghuan looked at him and smiled, the tacit understanding between the two made Li Jingyu on the side very depressed.

"Little prince, what the hell are you doing? What are you doing with this picture?" Li Jingrong asked in bewilderment.

"Brother, let's rehearse the battle!"

"Rehearsal? Can this war be rehearsed?" Li Jingrong was really not sure what Li Jinghuan meant.Since he was a child, he knew that this little prince was full of weird ideas.But holding a map to rehearse the battle, what is the point of singing?

"Brother, look," Li Jinghuan pointed to the markings on the map and explained patiently: "It has been marked on the map, this is the capital, this is Alhun, this is Qincha, and here, this is Alimu. Wu Li. Big brother thinks, where should we send troops?"

"This..." Looking at the complicated areas on the map, Li Jingrong couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, what is the situation in Saibei now!" Li Jingyi asked while looking at the map processed by Li Jingye.

"I don't know much about it. But Alhun and Qincha are at odds and have been fighting each other all year round. At this time, everyone knows. The father has also tried to mediate many times, but the results are not good. They clearly obey the father's orders. Orders, but have repeatedly invaded each other in secret."

"They are too arrogant!" When they heard this, they were all indignant.

"Alhun should be here." Li Jingyu pointed to one side and said.

"How long is the distance from the capital to here?" Li Jinghuan then asked.

"The fast horse is estimated to take five days."

"It may take longer for a large group of people, and the food and transportation of tens of thousands of people are problems."

"Currently there is no food in Saibei, and all food has to be shipped from all over the country. But this year, drought and floods have come together, and there are not many food reserves in various places."

"Yeah, what can I do?"

"We still have to see..."

The brothers were discussing with each other, and Li Jingrong continued to compose various scenes in his mind while listening. He had to admit that this time is indeed not the best time for war.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Li Jinghuan looked at the brothers who were discussing the status, noticed Li Jingrong who had been silent since just now, and asked.

"It's nothing. It's just that after you said that, I realized that fighting a war is not so easy."

"It's not easy! I just did the math, and fighting a war is too expensive! It's better not to fight." Li Jingyi yelled loudly from the side.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether he could take advantage of the opportunity of the war to earn some money, but when his brothers talked about food, supplies, etc., these things were automatically converted into money in his mind. After a little calculation, it was really a big deal. The huge amount is too scary!

Hearing Li Jingyi's words, several people became happy. Li Jinghuan looked at him, amused in his heart. He wanted to mention something about his elder brother, but in the end, this younger brother who loves money like his life became a little bit enlightened. I really don't know whether to cry or cry. laugh.

Li Jingyu lowered his head and leaned into Li Jinghuan's ear, and said softly: "Second brother is really amazing."

Li Jinghuan looked back at him, smiled and asked, "Is this a compliment?"

Li Jingyu also smiled, "Naturally."

Li Jingxuan watched their interaction silently from the sidelines, his eyes swept over one by one, and finally his eyes rested on the second brother of the prince.Second brother, it's really amazing.
