Chapter 868: A pen is like a knife

In the afternoon, there was nothing to do in Wuyi Palace, Zhu Ping'an simply poured a cup of tea, sat on the seat and watched "The Art of War".

Sun Tzu said: Where the army is the enemy: the mountains are in the valley, the life is high, the battle is not climbed, and the army of the mountain here is also. If there is no water, there will be far water; The guest comes from the water, do not welcome it in the water, so that it can be hit half-helped, and it will be profitable; Those who want to fight welcome guests without being attached to the water; The place where the life is high, there is no water current, and the army on the water here is also ......"

This is "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Topography", the more Zhu Ping'an looks at it, the more exquisite he feels, while watching it, he recalls the battles in history in his mind, and extracts the examples involving the terrain separately, and compares the principles in the "Terrain Chapter", the more he compares, the more profound he feels.

Terrain is too important for warfare, both in ancient and modern times, and if you can't make good use of it, you can't be a good general.

Of course, learning its meaning, rather than its shape, and learning the "Terrain Chapter" does not mean that it is necessary to arrange the formation according to the "Terrain Chapter", but to flexibly use the terrain according to the actual situation. Han Shin's last battle is diametrically opposed to the "Topographical Chapter" "Those who want to fight welcome guests without attachment to the water", but they also won a big victory.

"Hehe, Zihou is quite interested in military affairs, it seems that my Ming Dynasty wants one more good minister and Confucian general with both civil and military strategies."

Li Chunfang finished writing a green word and found that Zhu Ping'an was reading "The Art of War" seriously, and couldn't help but laugh and quip.

Wen Tao has both martial arts and strategies?!

Another official in the same room listened to Li Chunfang's words, and couldn't help but laugh, "Lord Li, you are focusing on writing and not paying attention, Zihou him, since he had lunch and opened "The Art of War", he has not turned the page until now, and there are still many days with his eyes closed......"

Although this official didn't say it directly, others knew that Zhu Ping'an had just fallen asleep watching "The Art of War" when he watched it......

belch

I was thinking back to the examples of war in history, comparing ......

However, Zhu Ping'an didn't explain, just laughed. Books are for oneself, not for others.

However, he has a simple face, and he laughs as if he has been embarrassed.

There was a chuckle in the room.

"What are you laughing at, so happy." An official walked in with an official document in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, nothing. Lord Zhao came over, but what did Yan Ge Lao have to say. Li Chunfang got up and greeted the person in, and asked with a smile.

Lord Zhao has been in Wuyi Hall for several years, and he has been running errands under Yan Song, and he is one of Yan Song's secretaries.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a commendation document, please polish it, and it will be issued below with a seal in the next two days." Lord Zhao said softly, and then handed the paperwork in his hand to Li Chunfang.

"Lord Zhao is polite, this is my own matter, why bother." Li Chunfang smiled and shook his head.

"Lord Zhao, please use tea."

Another official in the room said, reaching out and pouring a cup of tea.

"No need, I still have to go to Lord Wang's, and I won't drink tea." Lord Zhao smiled and shook his head, then said a few more words to Li Chunfang, then waved his hand to Zhu Ping'an and the others, and left.

"Whose commendation document is this, Elder Yan Ge has personally seen it." Another official in the room curiously took the document from Li Chunfang and unfolded it.

"Hehe, it's a coincidence, Zihou can take a look, maybe in the future, we will draft such a commendation document for Zihou." After the official unfolded it, he read the paperwork, couldn't help laughing, and handed the document to Zhu Ping'an with a smile.

What do you mean?

Zhu Ping'an took the paperwork curiously and looked at it.

Well

After reading the document, Zhu Ping'an understood why he said this, because this document is a military commendation document, wasn't he reading "The Art of War" just now, it happened to be related to this.

The gist of this document is: Three months ago, Na Yan, the chief of the Li tribe in Wuzhi Mountain, Qiongzhou, rebelled, and also colluded with the Li people in Thanksgiving and Changhua, a total of dozens of tribes, gathering tens of thousands of people, and the momentum was huge. Ouyang Bijin, the governor of Liangguang, was in danger, commanded in the center, and calmly mobilized elite soldiers and strong generals to go to conquer and quell the rebellion. Because the governor Ouyang Bijin deployed troops in a good way, commanded well, lured the enemy into depth, and succeeded in the first battle, beheading more than 5,300 thieves and surrendering more than 3,700 people. After the victory, Ouyang Bijin took the risk to go to the Li Min Center alone to make an agreement with the Li people in order to prevent future troubles, regardless of his personal safety, to treat Li Min as equals, regard Li Min as Han Min, and establish a town. The people of Li surrendered, vowed never to rebel again, and moved out of the mountains to live. As a result, the stubborn diseases of the Li people were eliminated, and Hainan was stable.

Ouyang must enter?

It's a familiar name.

After reading it, Zhu Ping'an was slightly stunned, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Thinking about it, isn't Ouyang Bijin Ouyang Zishi's father, that is, Yan Song and Yan Ge's brother-in-law.

The brother-in-law has made military merits, and Yan Ge Lao has seen it in person, and it is over.

Zhu Ping'an doesn't have much impression of Ouyang Bijin, but he knows that Ouyang Bijin's reputation in history is okay, at least much better than Yan Song. This person seems to be an ancient scientist, in order to solve the problem of insufficient animal power caused by cattle plague, he researched and invented a manpower cultivator, it is said that "one person's strength is enough for two cattle", but unfortunately it has not been popularized and developed, and it was later lost.

But I don't seem to have heard that Ouyang Bijin has talent and achievements in military affairs.

But according to this document, Ouyang Bijin is a well-known good general of the Jiajing Dynasty.

If Ouyang Bijin is so powerful, then how can there be less of him in the later eradication of the Japanese Invaders, and the famous anti-Japanese generals in history are not only Qi Jiguang and them.

Wrong......

Zhu Ping'an unfolded the document again, looked at it carefully, and his intuition told him that this document was not so simple.

I looked at it again.

Zhu Ping'an noticed this document, and only two names appeared, one was the thief leader Na Yan, and the other was Ouyang Bijin. In other words, the credit for counterinsurgency is all attributed to Ouyang Bijin alone.

This is certainly not normal.

Ouyang Bijin is the governor of Liangguang and belongs to the feudal officials, so he should not personally lead troops to crusade against the rebellion.

After reading it carefully, Zhu Ping'an noticed the sentence "mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to go to the conquest and counterinsurgency" in the document. This sentence can be understood as Ouyang Bijin mobilizing elite soldiers and strong generals to go to the counterinsurgency, or it can be understood that one or several outstanding generals transferred by Ouyang Bijin led the troops to counterinsurgency.

However, most people will interpret it in the first sense.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Well, this poor "strong general"...... I just don't know who it is.

"Others have a sword, and I have a pen like a knife", through this document, Zhu Ping'an has a deeper understanding of the word pen like a knife.

This document may not be written by Ouyang Bijin, but it must have something to do with Yan Song.

Ginger is still old and spicy.
