Chapter 320: Can't Have Both
Seeing that Li Anran made the sand table for more than two quarters of an hour, he just used some ordinary things, which were actually as delicate and accurate as the original, I don't know how many times, whether it was Li Shimin or Cheng Biting Jin, they were completely stunned.
After finally coming back to his senses, Li Shimin didn't care about saying anything, and hurriedly gathered in front of the brand-new sand table with Cheng Yanjin and them, pointing to the buildings, rivers, and even woods and meadows on it, constantly confirming the location.
"Wonderful! The sand table made by a real person is really clear at a glance, and it is much better than before. After watching it back and forth several times, Li Shimin, who easily recognized all the locations with Cheng Biting Jin, praised with a red face.
And Li Jing and several other famous historical generals on the side also nodded their heads there in agreement at this time. If it weren't for Li Shimin's presence, it is estimated that he would have continued to study around the sand table by this time.
"Holy Lord, in fact, this is because time is pressing, if there is enough time and manpower and material resources, it is not a problem to make a sand table that is exactly the same as reality." Li Anran, who said in his heart that this is where he went, pretended to be humble and said.
If you can't understand the meaning of these words before, after witnessing Li Anran push the sand table off and rebuild it from scratch, Li Shimin can't understand the words anymore, and I'm afraid that the throne of the Tang Emperor won't be able to sit for long.
"Okay, well, with the guidance of real people, I believe that it won't be long before Datang can have tens of millions of more real sand tables, and when the time comes, ......" Li Shimin, who made up the scenes by himself, smiled like a chrysanthemum with a face.
And at this time. Cheng Yanjin on the side relied on his own character Li Shimin knew best, and suddenly said: "Real person, I don't know if the military chess games you said before that divide the troops into specific categories can be ......."
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin reacted, he was patronizing and happy for the improvement of the sand table, so he forgot that there was also an equally important point, so he didn't blame Cheng Biting Jin for interfering, but nodded and said: "What Zhijie said is very true!" ”
As for Li Jing and his group of famous generals, they all nodded their heads with anticipation at this time.
"Actually, it's a very simple game." knew that the other party would ask about Li Anran. He picked up the carving knife again. Then I worked for a while on a piece of leftover material from the previous zuò sand table, and after blowing out the sawdust, I put the things on the sand table.
The carved thing is not big, it is only the size of a thumb. The styling is not exquisite. It's even a little rough. Merely. At a glance. Just like those pavilions just now, you can directly see that this is a horse.
"Like this horse, we can make it represent cavalry. Considering that the sand table is so big. It is impossible to put too many pieces, so we can set it so that one horse represents a hundred times, and then ten horse-shaped pieces represent a thousand horses. ”
"And the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, I believe that there are still generals in the Holy Lord, and I don't need a layman to explain it. However, in order to make the deduction process more realistic, we can set the battle index of each cavalry to be ten, and one thousand cavalry to ten thousand. ”
"After everyone has set the combat index of each branch, then, once the two armies meet, then it is completely possible to calculate who is weak and who is strong through a formula that integrates factors such as environment, climate, and even military morale."
With this formula, it is even possible to calculate the final outcome of the battle after the two armies meet. Of course, the deduction is not real after all, so this result can only be used as a reference. But as long as the rules are set well, the error will not be too big. ”
"Once you can show all the details in the form of numbers, such as the speed of the grain trucks, the defense of the shield soldiers, and even the fortification of the city walls and the attack of the siege engines, then the results of a deduction will become more and more realistic."
As Li Anran stood on the side of the sand table, holding his freshly carved horse-shaped chess pieces and doing a step-by-step demonstration on the sand table, Li Shimin and a group of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were soon completely attracted to the past, and at the same time constantly made up their own brains.
After Li Anran finished speaking, he found that Li Shimin and the others had already been substituted in. After a while, they began to argue about how many arms the infantry should be divided into, and how many battles and defenses should be set to be more appropriate.
As the king of a country, although Li Shimin is still able to command thousands of armies on horseback and govern a country when he gets off the horse, he rarely goes out in person. Therefore, when Cheng Biting Jin and the others were arguing, he pointed to the seat next to Li Anran and signaled.
"Holy Lord, please." Knowing that Cheng Yanjin and the generals were overjoyed to see the hunt, Li Anran, who was afraid that it would not be over for a while, naturally understood that His Majesty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, should have something to talk to him, so he made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile.
Soon the two sat down separately, Li Anran took the kettle from the small red clay stove simmering with charcoal on the table, poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin first, and then poured himself a cup.
"Real person, I wonder what the sand table in the upper realm will look like?" Li Shimin, who took over the gaiwan teacup, which is now very popular, and lifted the lid of the cup for heat preservation by half so that the temperature of the tea could cool down quickly, asked with a smile.
"There are several kinds of sand tables in the upper realm, one is the civil sand table I just made with this kind of civil sand table. It's basically the same as I said, that is, the work is more refined, the terrain is more realistic, and the other aspects are not too different. ”
"There is also a kind of magic weapon that directly projects the terrain map of the battlefield area, or displays it on the magic weapon, and even has its own battlefield analysis and statistics functions." Li Anran, who picked up the teacup, said.
"In this way, the latter that the real person said should be an immortal method, do immortals also have to fight on the battlefield?" Li Shimin, who listened to the answer, suddenly asked after his eyes flickered.
"There is a saying in the world of the upper realm, which says that where there are people, there are grievances. And immortals are rarely born, they are all cultivated by chance, in order to obtain higher cultivation, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some disputes. ”
"However, most of the time, this method is only used to supervise the mortal world under the jurisdiction of their respective immortal sects, so as not to be caused by some ill-intentioned people to cause any uncontrollable evil consequences." Li Anran flickered quietly.
"Where there are people, there are grievances? That's a wonderful thing to say. Li Shimin, who repeated a sentence in his mouth, sighed and then asked casually: "Real person, with my foundation, you can't really cultivate into an immortal?" ”
To say that Li Anran also explained the difference between the path of the human emperor and the path of immortals, and at the same time described the situation and final results of humane cultivation in a factual and reasonable manner, but for Li Shimin, these things still belong to the mirror.
Even if I insist on Tai Chi every day in the morning and evening during this time, plus food supplements, medicine supplements, diet and rest, my physical condition and complexion are getting better and better day by day, but as a person, the thoughts in my heart are naturally endless.
In Li Shimin's opinion, since his humane cultivation has been decided, and he can't see any effect for a while. So why not take advantage of the presence of a ready-made immortal to prepare an extra way out for yourself?
If you can walk the path of immortals, wouldn't it be faster than taking the path of humanity? At the same time, there will be no restrictions, how good it is. And such an idea is very appropriate to describe it as Long Wangshu.
Regarding Li Shimin's little abacus, Li Anran understood it as soon as he heard it. At the moment, he said with a smile: "Saint, if you really want to abandon humanity and take the immortal path, with the foundation of your human emperor, it is not impossible, and even promising, but it is just ......"
"Just what?!" Originally, Li Shimin, who was just a test and didn't expect to get a surprise answer at all, was stunned for a moment in the face of this obviously unexpected answer, and then asked eagerly.
"It's very simple, there is an old saying that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, if the saint really wants to take the path of immortal cultivation, I can introduce the master on my behalf, but this human emperor can no longer continue to sit. So, in the end, it depends on your own choice. Li Anran, who took a sip after skimming off the tea foam with the lid of the cup, said with a light smile. (To be continued......)
